VERDICT FOR $s5, 1000
Found Against Railroad on Account of
 Grand Central Tunnel Accident.


 New York, Nov. 11.-What is said to be the largest verdict ever awarded un- der similar conditions yves returned in the supreme court to-day when a jury awarded Mrs. Mary c. Ga Nun S35,000 for the loss of her husband, who died as the result of injuries sustained in the Grand Central tunnel on January S. 1902. MT. Ga Nun was on his way from his home in Greenwich to his place of business in this city at the time of the accident. When the train on. which he was riding crashed into an-. other he was hurled from his seat, his head striking an iron projection on the seat ahead. It was thought at first that he was not badly injured and for many months he was unable to con tinue his business. According to testi- mony given in the case, however, the. accident was followed by a remarka- ble change in his disposition. From jovial and congenial man he became morose, i'll tempered and. depressed in spirits. Nearly eighteen months after the accident he became seriously i'll and died four days later. Physicians who performed an autopsy testified that death was due to a rupture of the heart, which was indirectly due to the shock and injuries received by him in the collision. Mrs. Ga Nun sued for S70,0OO damages and the jury, after hearing the evidence in the case re- turned a verdict for half that amount.

FEDERAL STOCK AND
 GRAIN COMPANY FAILS
ONE OF LARGEST CONCERNS OF
 KIND IN COUNTRY.

Lost s1.OOO,OOO in the Last Six Months
 -Branch omces Located in New Eng
 Iand-PIaIn Statement by Treasurer
 Murray of Boston That the Concern
 Was Commonly Known as a Bucket
 shop-Branches In This State.
 Boston. Nov. 1.-The pronounced rise. in the stock market was responsi- ble to-day for the suspension of the Federal Stock and Grain company, of this city, one of the largest concerns of the kind in the country. The company had four offices in Boston and fifty or more in other cities. Treasurer D. P. Murray states that the concern has lost $1,OOO00O in the last six months. The claims against it, he says, do not ex- ceed $15O.0OO.
 Most of the branch offices are located in New England. but there were agen- cies in Montreal Albany. N. r., Dem yer and other cities outside of these states.
 All branch offices were closed shortly after the announcement of the suspen- sion in this city. In several places at tachments have been filed against funds standing in the banks to the credit of the concern.
 The transactions in the branch offices were small as a rule. and it is claimed that few individuals will lose large sums. The company is said to have cleared $2,OOO,0OO in profits last year. Of late, however, steady losses have been sustained. the officials assert. Treasurer Murray says:
 There have been no nisrepresenta- tions by the officers of this concern. Every customer has fully understood | that it is what is commonly known as bucket-shop. It is a New York cor poration and was started in 1903. J. c. Burger, of Denver, Col. is president. It has about fifty private wire connec-l Ftions, the greater number of them being i in New England. It is capitalized for ! O,0O0 and during the last six months 1 we have lost about $1,000,00O. I am the only Boston man interested in the firm.
 "The claims against the company l will not abount to over $150,0OO if an assignment is made, and am going. to try to prevent that by securing some money with which to carry on the busi, ness. The claims are small, being di- 1 vided among 5000 customers all over l the country

 During the bombardment last night the Russians threw sixty large Melinite Shells into the Japanese camp opposite Manalon Hill
 The Japanese, who during the previ- pus cannonadtng seemed to have suc- cessfully used searchlight directed against the Russian positions for the purpose of covering their operations at night in the extension of their field works in the region of the railroad, did not reply last night when the Russians sttacked them further to the east.
