The sudden death OF ex-Register Hugh
Mclaughlin on Wednesday night caused
surprise and sorrow throughout the Bor-
ough Of Brooklyn yesterday. and all day
long prominent residents OF Brooklyn
called at the Remsen street house to express
their sympathy. Last night the house
was filed with prominent residents OF the
borough, many Of whom had been lifelong
lin, who had been his chief lieutenant in
command of the Democratic party Of Kings
county. and MIR. McLaughlin's trusted
friend Thomas n. Neely Of the District
Attorneys Office, took charge Of affairs for
Mrs. Mclaughlin and the family.
AS Mr.. Mclaughlin was opposed to pomp
or ceremony, his family last night decided
not to have any pallbearers at his funeral
which is to be as simple and unostentatious
as possible. A solemn high requiem mass
will be celebrated in st. James's Pro-Cathe-
dral in Jay street at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning. The celebrant will be the Rev.
Peter Donohue. The interment will be in
the family plot in Holy Cross Cemetery.
One OF the last acts OF MIR. Mclaughlin
on Wednesday was to 60 to st. Jamess
Pro-Cathedral to inspect the new white
marble altar which he presented to the
church some time ago. and which is valued
at $50 O00 Father Donohue is doing his
utmost to have the altar completed by
tom rrow. SO that 1t can be used at Mr..
McLaughlin's funeral.

to take suitable action on the death Of Mr..
Mclaughlin. Senator McCarren said:
Il, with everybody else in Brooklyn who
has known Mr. Mclaughlin for 30 many
years, must recognize his continued and
effective work in the interest OF the Demo-
cratic party. We all deplore his death,
but it Is consolation to know that his end

haps a half dozen curb brokers who have
been dealing in this stock, which has been
active under it's manipulation by Munroe
d Munroe. Some Of the curb brokers, 1t
was said yesterday, were wiped out COM
pletely by this action Of the brokerage
house, losing the profits and savings of
years. At the Office Of Munroe d Munroe
the stock which they had refused to take
owing to its violent drop from $3.50 to 80
cents a share, was estimated at 1l7,000
shares, involving some s4os 900 based on
the figure at which they bought the stock.
VIOLENT FALL OVER. BANKERS SAY.
After the close OF the market bankers
generally, while refusing to be quoted,
expressed their belief that the very vio-
lence Of the decline yesterday marked its
termination, for the present at least, and
it was the general opinion that while no
further similar slumps would follow there
might result steady sagging Of prices
owing to the loss Of confidence generally
which would follow the violent breaks
Of the past few days.
A great deal OF interest was taken in

of Gates Co. in the markets Of the past

view OF the excellent business conditions

ranted. There will be material rise be-
fore the close of the week"
