IMMENSE CROWD PRESENT.
Pope Leo's Remains Again Viewed BY
Thousands.

Rome, July 25-The report gener
ally circulated that the body of Pope
Leo was beginning to show signs OF
decomposition caused great excite
ment, but 1t is now contradicted by the
doctors The rumor resulted in a
gathering at ST Peters larger than
that of the previous day. many believ
ing the funeral would take place
earlier than planned. Otherwise the
scene was practically the same The
work of the soldiers and police on duty
was more arduous, owing to the burn
ing sun and dust and the struggle to
enter the cathedral, the fainting of wo
men, screaming Of children and the
quarrels Of the men. However, nc
grave incident has so far been re
ported.
DIR. Lapponi. in the face of the doubts
cast on the efficacy of his process OF
embalming. went with the other doc
tors to examine the body of the pope
and found 1t to be in a perfect state
of preservatbn. The dark color as
sumed by the face was attributed tC
the smoke of the many candles burning
around. A large quantity of ice was
put under the bier.
Unless the unexpected occurs the in
terment will take place as originally
arranged.

Of his parents room. but one OF the
burglars saw him and they began
shooting. Asa Chinn also opened fire.

CONCERNS WERE HEAVILY INTER.
ESTED m CERTAIN RAIL
ROAD SECURITIES.

New York, July 25.-The long con.
tinued decline II prices for securities
on the Stock Exchange resulted during
the afternoon in the announcement OF
the failure OF two important Stock
Exchange brokerage firms. The first
announcement was OF the suspension

few moments by the news, sensational

The firm of Stow & Co. was heavily
interested in Mexican Central and was
a member Of the pool in that stock.
The announcement OF the failure
caused an immediate decline of 7as in
the price of that stock.
Talbot J. Taylor & Co.. it has been
supposed, were long on Southern Pa
cific ever since the Inauguration of a
bull movement by means of a pool In
that stock more than a year ago by
James r. keene. Southern Pacific
sold during the day at price about
~ points below the high record figure
to which it was put presumably
through the bull manipulation OF the
keene pool When no dividend was
declared on Southern Pacific and the
stock began to decline Mr. keene be-
gan an effort in the courts to prevent
the Union Pacific and the Hartman
syndicate from continuing to exercise
control OF Southern Pacific.
After the failure Of Talbot j. Taylor
e Co. had been announced the firm
was asked whether any statement
would be given out and the reply was
that no statement would be made at
this time. The announcements of both
failures came within half an hour of
the close OF the market and caused
considerable excitement.
Almost Immediately after the first
declines caused by the announcement
OF the failures there was q violent
rally, showing apparently that some
thing Of the kind had been expected
and that these suspensions were what
stock spectators had been saying for
some time was causing the decline.

Police Officer.

Chicago, July 25.-John Trice, six
teen years old. and Leslie Whitmarsh,
aged eighteen, told Justice Chott in
the Warren avenue police station that
they had planned to shoot Policeman
William Lynch of the Austin station
just for the excitement of the thing.
They said they had been reading
Wild West stories and that after com
mitting several burglaries they wanted
to see what it would be like to shoot
some one.
1t was noticed that hand mirrors
had been taken when burglaries were
committed in Austin recently and this
clew led to the arrest of the boys Po
liceman Lynch failed to pass the point
where the boys lay in ambush for him.
Whtmarsh was held to the grand jury

STOCK MARKET DECLINE.
New Low Records for Many Leading
Securities.

New York. July 25.-Half score of
stocks, some of them market leaders,
established new low records on the
present decline In the early trading
ON the Stock Exchange during the day.
These included st. Paul, Louisville
and Nashville, Northwestern, Wabash
preferred, Union Pacific, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, Metropolitan, American
Car and Foundry, Colorado Fuel and
Rock Island common.
The especial pressure was directed
against Brooklyn Rapid Transit, the
price Of which fell lower than at any
time since the end of the Flower"
boom. Other minor issues in the rail-
way and industrial group reached
prices as low as any recorded in their
history.
Further selling pressure was shown
In the Steel stocks. A block of 6.00o
shares of common came out at from
22M to 227s. Steel preferred held
steady.
Renewed liquidation in increasing
volume came in the second hour and
almost every stock in the list receded
The selling came from all sides, addi-
tiOnal lots OF Copper, which was below
Thursdays low record, being offered
for Boston account. Wire houses sold
all around the room. A house with
important Chicago connections and
Steel affiliations was extremely active,
though report credited 1t with some
buying.
Whole Market Tumbies.
The exchange was the scene of great
excitement In the second hour, when
the whole market was tumbling and
creating new low records.
Absence OF demand seemed to be the
controlling reason for the decline in
the high class railroads. The drop In
st. Paul was reported to have resulted
from the liquidation Of a moderately
large line Of stock by Philadelphia
house.
Declines Of 2 to 4 points were COM
mon In the active list, while some of
the inactive stocks fell even lower.
Low records for the current movement
embraced q number of the best securi-
ties In the list.
Another violent attack In prices was
made In the early afternoon, which
brought o still lower level for several
stocks, Including Copper and Rock ISL
and common. American Smelling
slumped over 4 points and such issues
as LLckawanna. Erie, Kansas City
Southern, Texas Land Trust and In
ternational Power fell off almost as
much A break OF almost % points In
Standard Oil occurred on the curb.
The market became slightly better but
dull at the beginning Of the last hour.
