 r ESTEkDAY,S STOCK MARKET.

tJiSl EADlt4 70 OLOCh LUh4th6 First Phase tn Adjus,ment of Northern
 securities Decision seems Completed.
 New York, March 17--The stock mar ket gave indication to-day that the first phase of adjustment to the North ern Securities decision had been mostly completed. This would be the covering of short contracts put out in anticipa- ton of the event and the manoeuvres of the contending professional element to take the market away from the bears. The reduction of the short in terest was palpable in to-days early market and there was evidence of at tempts to take profits on the part of these who had gone long of stocks to help drive the bears to cover But the reaction was not extreme at any time, and an effective rally was achieved be- fore the end of the first hour. After the close of the foreign markets there was decided revival in the demand for stocks and a greater breadth and animation in the buying than on any
 previous day this week. Round lots of variousiy leading stocks were bought all around the room. This movement was the outgrowth of the discussion of the manner in which the market has acted under the operations of the past few days 1t was urged that while the advance was plainly due to the cover
 ing of an unexpectedly large outstand- ing short interest, and had been evil dently taken advantage of for some

 capacity of the market.
 The action of the foreign markets was taken to show a clearing up of dangers of complications in European politics, although the exchanges abroad were affected to-day by the reduction of the short interest, as our was. The admit ted revival Of demand in the iron and steel trade is believed to have had no adequate reflections in the stock mar- ket.

IA VISIT TO M. cuRIE.

After we had been in the darkness for some time M. Curie wrapped the radium tube in thick paper and put it in my hand.
 Now" said he, 'shut your eyes and press this against your right eyelid.'
 I did as he bade me, and straightway had the sensation of a strange diffused light outside my eye. M. Curie assured me, however that the light was not outside, but inside the eye, the radium rays having the property of making the liquids of the eyeball self-luminous. a sort of internal phosphoreseence be- ing produced. He warned me that it would be dangerous to leave the radium against the eyelid very long, as a seri- ous disturbance to the eyesight or even blindness, might result.
 Another experiment consisted in plac- ing the radium against the bone at the side of the forehead, and even in this position, with the eyes closed, a light was perceptible, although fainter. Here the radium rays had acted upon the eyeball through the bones of the head.
 "It is possible" said M. Curie, that this property of radium may be util- ized in certain diseases of the eye. Dr. Emile laval, one of our distinguished physicians, who is blind himself, has given this matter particular attention, and he thinks that radium may offer a precious means of diagnosis in cases of cataract, by showing whether the reti- na is or is not intact, and whether an operation will succeed. If a person blind from cataract can see the radiuni light as you have just seen it, then the eyesight of that person may be re- stored by removing the cataract. 9th erwise it cannot be restored. ."-Cleve- land Moffett in the Strand.

Places Where War, Poverty and Dis- honesty Are Unknown to Inhabitants.
 Denmark claims that there is not a single person in her domain who cannot read and write. On the northeast coast Of New Guinea. the Island of Kutaha, surrounded by a wall of coral three hundred feet high on one side and from fifty to one hundred feet on the other, maintains thirteen villages of natives, to whom war, crime and poverty have been unknown since the beginning of their traditions. The most peaceful and comfortable community in Europe is the commune Of the Canton Vaud, in Switzerland. Nearly everyone is we'll off and there are no paupers.
 Finland is a realm whose inhabitants are remarkable for their inviolate integ- rity. There are no banks and no safe desposits, for no such security is essen- tial. You may leave your luggage any where for any length of time, and be quite sure of finding it untouched on your return. and your purse full of money would be just as secure under similar circumstances.

 The Ecclesiastical society of the Park Street Congregational church of Bridge port accepted the resignation of the Rev. E. G. Fullerton, Ph. D., with re- grets, at a meeting Wednesday evening, held after the regular weekly prayer meeting. A. NJ Marsh presided and Or ange Merwin was clerk pro tenn.
 Suit was instituted in Bridgeport yes terday by Attorney F. B. Fallon ill be- half of Miss-Anna R. Raymond of West Haven, to foreclose mortgage of $4O0 against the heirs of Charles Nichols and Lucia Nichols, his wife..of Fairfield. A peculiar thing about the case is that there are no known heirs of the Nichols. They were colored people and died within short time of each other, q lit tie over a year ago. They were slaves in the south, who went to Fairfield years ago and bought farm, out of savings made as farm hands. In 1895 they raised money on q mortgage from
 Miss Raymond. The farm is practically abandoned now and the mortgagee is
 anxious to save the security. The Nich- ols had a daughter who died a couple
 of years ago, and so far as MT. Fallon
 can learn they left no direct heirs. The
 suit is being brought under statue giv- ing a mortgagee q right to acquire the
 property after public advertisement for heirs

 dressed, lamb chops with ruffies, hams decorated in all styles, goose" legs of lambs, were the surprise to all-"how was it done being asked by many. On
 all sides were larded beef, poultry of all kinds. and the ceilings and walls
 were hung with all descriptions of pork, veal and lamb. The fine new refriger- ator holding 9 tons, last evening had 50 cattle hung in it, surrounded by fancy Canadian legs of mutton and lamb and racks of beef. The corned meats os all kinds, with sausages and other varieties. filled the center of the store. The poultry display was inl- Imense. Then one turned to the fine grocery department. MT.

TWO LIVES SAVED BY A HORSE.

TWO llN ES SANE BIi A HORSEl.
 Maiden physician had an adventure some time ago which he does not care to repeat, although it gave him a much higher appreciation of the intelligence oe his pet driving horse than he had previously entertained. He was return ing home from visiting patient late at night. in company with a clergyman, when the horse stopped short at one of the most dangerous grade crossings within the city's limits. Absorbed in lively conversation with his clerical friend, and seeing no gate down, he mechanically touched the horse with the whip and urged it by his voice to go forward but the spirited animal for once would not respond, and, instead of obeying, stepping briskly aside and turn ed his head as far as possible from the train which just then whized byeat rate Of forty miles an hour. It was close call for the occupants of the carriage, who sat brathless through the moments of terrible suspense, but the horse main tained it's attitude of a half circle until the danger was passed. It seems that the gatekeeper was asleep at his post, and had neglected his duty. but the delicate ears of the horse had detected the sound of the coming train and had rightly interpreted it as the signal of a danger to be avoided. Both men were firmly convinced that they owed their lives. under Providence, to the intelli- gent use the animal made of it's former experiences with grade crossings, and ofh b,,f fe,r IT U. radium mine on it would now tempt its owner to part With it.-Boston Tran script.

ANOTHER FIRE
DOES DAMAGE
The Weeks & Jackson Grocery
Store Was Cleaned Out.
Other Losses.

Fire this morning about 2
o'clock greatly damaged the Weeks
& jackson stock of groceries, and
for the time being has put that
popular firm out of the running.
The fire had a mysterious origin,
the general opinion being that it
caught inside the Weeks& Jackson
store. The proprietors say they
closed up about 8 p. M, and
there was no fire in the store yes
terday or last night. and they are
completely mystified as to how it
caught.
They had insurance on stock of
S25OO, and the stock is almost a
complete loss. The fire did its
greatest damage about midway of
the store room, though everything
was either burned, water soaked
or smoked.
The fire was confined to the
lower floor of the building, though
a few holes were chopped through
the upper floor in order to flood
the fire.
The upper floor is occupied by
DR.. Davis, dentist: Dick & An-'
derson, real estate and insurance;
Robt. Petty, lawyer, and DIR. a..
Speegle, osteopath, and they alt
suffered some damage from smoke.
The Palestine Hardware com
pany suffered some damage from
smoke and water, covered by in
Surance.
The building is owned by Dr.'
John Colley and = Brooks, and
is damaged to the extent of about
5000; covered by insurance.
