New York Stock Market.

New York June 81, IL a. m.-The
stock market this morning has been dull
and slow with little significance to the
dealings. The opening tone was firm
with a rising generally factionally better.
U. S. Steel pfd was half per cent higher
The general list receded fractionally after
the first hour, but without any increase
in business. The traders appear to be
afraid of making any important commit
ments, and there's general feeling that
speculation will be narrow and uninter-
esting until the definite results of the
coming democratic national convention
becomes history. The undertone Of the
speculation is firm Notwithstanding the

which has recently been issued, the au-

sages in the book of Daniel, that the
great and dreadful day OF the Lord"
will take place in about two weeks time
July IL and 13-when "the heavens
will be shaken and the earth removed
out of her place" When Mayor simP-
sons attention was called to this fore
cast this morning he remarked that he
had previously given certain policemen
permission to take their vacation at that
time, and he observed that they may have
received some inside information con-
corning future events.

Tho General sIocum Disaster.

New York, June 27.-There is every
probability that the coroner's inquest
into the steamboat General Slocum dis
aster, which caused loss of over | 900
lives, will end tonight Only few wit
nesses remain to be examined, the most
important of whom is Captain Van
Setback, the commander of the Slocum.
1t is likely that the jury will arrive at
their verdict within a few minutes after
the case has been submitted to them.
The Jury assembled at II o'clock this
morning but no witnesses were called.
Instead, the jury accompanied Coroner
Berry to the wreck of the steamboat, and
a careful inspection OF the hulk was made.
The jury then boarded the police boat
Patrol and were taken over the course of
the Slocum, white an expert pointed out
to them the various places south of North
Brother Island, at which witnesses have
said the Slocum might have been beached.
This mpleted, the jury returned to the
Second Battery armory and the taking
of testimony was resumed at 2:30 p. m.
Coroner OGorman, after comforting with
Police Inspector Albertson, disposed of
the detail of men who have been search
ing for bodies since the day of the wreck,
1t is now thought that few more bodies
will be recovered.

The Horses.

Colonial Girl, by Med dler.Springtide,
FIVE years old, owned by Otto Stifel, of
st. Louis, won the Worlds Fair hanui-
cap of $50, 900 at the Fair Grounds on
Saturday. The eastern champion, Hei-
mis-, was second, three lengths back.
Moharib, owned by John w. Schorr,
was six lengths behind him. Colonial
won the race very easily. The race was
at mile and halt and was worth $4l,-
500 to the winner. The track was in
fair condition. After the race, Otto
Stifel, owner of the winner, presented
Jockey A. w. Booker, who rode Colonial
Girl, with $40, 900.

Archbishop Guidi Dead.

The War Department is advised of the
death yesterday at Manila of Archbishop
Guidi, apostolic delegate to the Philip
phine islands. Heart trouble, according
to the cablegram, was the cause. Ar
engagements are being made for the fu-
neral services, which are to be held in
Manila Friday next, and final interment
will be made at Rome about two months
hence. The news created surprise, be-
cause Archbishop Guidi was making
plans to visit America in about six
weeks, when he expected to come to
Washington for final settlement of the
the friar land question. Confirmation
of Archbishop Guilds death was re-
ceived at the apostolic legation last
night Mgr. Falconio, the delegate, is
now abroad. Nothing is known as yet
about Mgr. Guilds successor, but who
ever may be chosen to carry on the
work will be a man of the same general
intellectual character. 1t is not at all
unlikely that, owing to the presence OF
Cardinal Satolli in this country, he may
be urged by the pontiff of the College of
Cardinals TO act in place of Mgr. Guidi
in settling up the final details of the friar
land question. Politically the visit
which Mgr. Guidi expected tc make to
Washington would have been very i'm
portant. 1t would have marked the
presence of an ambassador of the Ro-
man Church in Washington, involving
a more direct recognition of the temporal
authority of the church than has been
seeu in recent years.

Archdeacon.

1t is reported that the position Of
Archdeacon of the Episcopal diocese Of
Virginia, an Office created at the recent
council of the church, would probably
be rendered to the Rev. Nelson p. Dame,
former rector of Christ Church, Winches-
ter. Rev. NJ. Dame recently accepted
call to the church at Ossining, New
York. The office was offered to Rev.
w. II. Smith. Of Fredericksburg, by
Bishop Gibson, who has the appointing
power, but was declined. 1t is pointed
out that Mr.. Dame is eminently quail
fed for the Office of Archdeacon as the
duties connected with it are largely
evangelistic and Mr.. Dame has always
been well fitted for the qualities of
missioner.

THOMAS W. LAWSON, widely known
os the copper millionaire, of Boston, be-
Gins in the July Everybody's Magazine
what NAV be regarded as his personal
confession to the American public III
such a wav as to expose the men and
methods connected with the copper
trust and other huge combinations OF
latter-day finance. He declares that he
will give in a series of articles the act
nal facts. naming men and dates con-
nected with them. He says he has
been made unwittingly the instrument
bv which thousands of investors have
been plundered, and wants them to ac-
ouit him of intentional wrongdoing, and
later on aid him in compelling restI-
tution. His narrative, will deal largely
with Addicks, Rogers, Rockefeller
Ueinze and Keene, and he proposes to
nublish the complete list of 464S inves'
tors in amalgamated copper lie de-
clares that the blame rests on the
financial system, rather than on the In
diyiduals who have prohted by 1t. Mr.
Lawson. in his story Of "Amalgamated
Conner" as to which he is now fighting
the Standard Oil people, with whom he
has been intimately associated, de-
scribes Henry II. Rogers as the piston
and William Rockefeller as the fly
wheel of the Standard Oil engine, and
himself as "a plain stoker who shoveis
in coal and draws out ashes" One OF
the promises he makes, which is OF es-
pecial interest to all democratic voters
is this: 81 shall deal with bit of the
nations history in which within lew
days of the national election of 1896

DIR. ROBERT l.. RANDOLPH, OF Balu-
more. has for a long time taken much
interest in the injuries to persons result
ing from the use of fireworks on indie
pendence Day and has devoted much
time to the collection of statistics bear
ing upon the subject. So awful have
the results become that DIR. Randolph
has procured the introduction OF an ordi-
nance in the City Council of Baltimore
increasing the penalty for the sale OF
fireworks. At the recent meeting OF the
American Medical Association at Allan
tic City DR.. Randolph, who is chairman
of the section on ophthalmology, read a
paper on the subject, giving many in
teresting facts and figures. Among
other things he said that the total num-
Der of persons killed and injured in the
United States during the year 1908 by
fireworks and explosives was 4, ADS. II
the above figures are correct, and there
is no reason for questioning them, it is
high time action was being taken in all
cities to bring about relief The dan
ger is not only to those who discharge
explosives, but to others who take no
interest in them.

STARTLING DUNHAM, q negro VINO
criminally assaulted the sixteen-year-old
daughter of John Wilson, white man
near Bellefontaine, Miss, two weeks ago
and attempted to criminally assault three
young women named Dunn, near Europa,
all during the course of the same day,
was hanged in the public square at Eu-
ropa yesterday by mob. The moose was
placed about the negro's neck by the
Wilson girl. The negro was then placed
upon the back of large black horse,
and at signal from the leader of the
mob the girl led the horse from under
him. Over 8. 600 persons, white and black,
witnessed the lynching. The extenua-
ting circumstances often alleged for
lynching could not be urged in this case,
although all will agree that the fend re.
ceived the Just reward of his crime, 1t is
often said that lynch law saves the vic
tins of certain offenses the modification
of appearing in court before miscella-
neous crowd. On the above occasion the
victim of the negro appeared before more
people than could be crowded into court
house, placed the rope around her assail-
ants neck and virtually sprung the trap.

1T Is claimed by many that every evil
has resulting good. This may or may
not 6e true but certain it is that the re-
cent discharge of railroad men in some
parts of Maryland has brought help to
the farmers thereby, as in shown from
the following dispatch from Elkton;
Farmers in this section of Maryland
are now realizing, if they have never
done so before, ''that it is an ill wind
that blows nobody good" For several
weeks past there has been great anxiety
as to how the crops would be harvested
during the latter part of June and the
first part of July, on account of the
great scarcity of labor. Since the rail-
roads have been laying off men by the
wholesale, ii has resulted in blessing
to farmers, if it has not worked the
same way with the railroad employees.
These men who have been thrown out
of work temporarily by the railroad
company, have, in many instances, &C
cepted work on the farms, helping to
harvest the wheat crop, now under way.
Many farmers who we're fretting over the
scarcity of help, now have all they de-
sire"
