In West Virginia, Where Six-Footers
Are the Rule.

Wheeling, w. Va, Correspondence
New York Herald.
At the headwaters of the Elk and
Holly rivers, where farms lie $500
feet above the level Of the sea, men
grow to be giants Up there among
the clouds tall men, great poplars and
giant oaks seem to be the rule and
not the exception.
"A short time since, while travel
ing up the Elk said man just back
from that country, II stopped at the
most commodious house I had seen
myself and my tired horse. A man
ripe with years, tall-he was six feet
four and one-half inches in height
and of commanding presence, greeted
me pleasantly.
Il noticed that there was a crowd
at his house and took it for granted
. that a neighborhood meeting was
being held until told by my host,
Clarence Gregory, that it was merely
a family reunion and that his thir-
teen boys and one daughter with
their families, made up the crowd.
The thirteen sons were all more than
six feet tail, some of them six feet
six inches, and weighed more than
$50 pounds each.
Ion the day following I crossed the
top of the mountains at the head OF
Leatherwood, where reside Benjamin

sons. Benjamin Hamrick, the father
is 6 feet s51s inches in height and
weighs 165 pounds. Arnold, the old

THE HOUSE,

Hartford, May 2S.-The petition of the Hartford and Connecticut Western railroad to complete it's Tariffville branch was withdrawn.
 The much discussed amendment to the charter of the city of Bridgeport was passed this morning in spite of vigorous democratic protest. The vote stood 129 to 41-on strict party lines. The resolution takes away from Mayor Mulvihill the right to make new ap- pointments to the boards of police and fire commissioners on June 1, as pro- vided by the charter of that city.
 The house late this afternoon passed the amendment presented by MT. Bick- nell, of Meriden, withdrawing the bonds of the Worcester and Connecticut East ern railroad from the bill admitting street railroad bonds as legal invest ments for savings banks by vote of 102 to 49.
 The original bill admitting the bonds of the Hartford Street railroad and the Fair Haven and Westville railroad of New Haven was then passed by a vote of 9S to A.

JOHN W. FORDYCE.

Lived at One Time in This City.
 John W. Fordyce, one of the best known painters and decorators of Win sted and a veteran of the civil war, died Sunday night of paresis after near ly two years illness. He was born in New York city, January F, 1S42, and his parents died when he was nine years old. He learned the painter trade in Baltimore, MT, serving seven years apprenticeship, after which he went west. Returning to New York about the time the war broke out, he enlisted July 27. 1861, at Camp Decker, Staten Island, in the Fourth Excelsior Regiment, U. s. VI, later known as the Seventy-third New York Volunteers. In the battle of Williamsburg he re- ceived gunshot wound in the leg and in the battle of Fair Oaks he was wounded again. He was brought north to the New Haven hospital and was honorably discharged Gas a sergeant) March 1T, 1863, for wounds received in action.

He was former justice of the peace and grand juror of Winsted for a number of years and had always taken lively interest in the town af- fairs. He was member of Palmer Post, No. SS, G. A. R., and was at one time it's commander. He is survived by one son, William S. Fordyce, and a daughter, Aliee I. Fordyce. The fune- ral was held at his late home in Win sted May 27.

It was evident that the fall in prices was itself the motive for a large part of the selling and the maneuvers of the bears conduced materially to the fall in prices. This was made clear by the substantial rally in the last three-quar- ters of an hour, when the covering by the shorts to take their profits on the day caused recoveries of from to , points in the principal active stocks. A notable center of disturbance for the whole market was Amalgamated Cop per. Its decline was shared in by cop- per securities all over the world, and a violent slump in the price of the metal in London gave color to the suspicion that the metal market was under man. ipulation for rise to assist in a specu- lation in copper securities. Rio Tintos were sold in Paris and London on an enormous scale. The extreme decline in Amalgamated reached AS and it's rally on short covering left it still SIS lower on the day.
 It was believed that long standing pool in the stock was forced to unload. When the concentrated selling was de- tected the bears joined freely and at tackled the stock fiereeiy. Rock Island was under severe pressure all day. The heavy selling of Union Pacific and it's lack of support caused bad impress sion, The same was true of the aban- donment of St. Paul and Pennsylvania to the vicissitudes of the market. Na- tional Railroad of Mexico preferred was among the market features on realiz- ing, following the announcement of concessions granted by the Mexican government.
 Rumors of a freight handlers strike on western railroads were given as a reason for some of the afternoon sell ing Other depressing factors were au- thoritative denials of reported confer ences looking to adjustment of the Pennsylvania railroad and Gould dis pute, obstacles in the way of organiza- ton of the anthracite conciliation board, the reduction in the amount of Bessemer pig iron said to have been purchased by the United States Steel corporation from yesterdays reports, and the bad effect produced by the United States shipbuilding reorganiza- tion.
 The very strong tone of foreign ex- change gave imationtthat further ex- ports of gold are likely Call money re- mained very easy. Rates for time mon- ey were appreciably firrner to-day. St. Paurs April statement showed about one quarter of the increase in gross saved for the net.
 Rock Island bonds were heavily sold. The bond market otherwise was irreg- ular. The total sales, par value, aggre- gated $2.590,OOo.
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

Hartford, May 2S.-The railroad com missioners have decided to reserve their decision in the matter of the complaint of members of the general assembly of the dilatory train service of the New London Northern Railroad company. The railroad company claimed that, owing to defective coal and conges- tion of freight traffic, in common with other railroads in New England, during the past winter, delays were unavoida- ble, but that these conditions were now improving and the service it is now rendering is reasonably prompt and regular. This improvement is admitted by the petitioners, and the railroad company has promised to still further improve the service.
