YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET
Movement Somewhat sIore Constituent
Than Day Before.

Movement Some syhat BIore ConaIstent
Than Day Before.
New York, March 1.-The movement
of to-days stock market was somewhat
more consistent than that of yesterday
in that prices were above yesterday S
level throughout the day, but the char
acter of the market was not essentially
changed Trading was near the mimi
! mum record for the last four years and
the movement of prices was so narrow
and sluggish as to be almost imper-
ceptible The fact that prices moved
upwards had no news to account for it.
Traders short of stocks who had been
awaiting decline on bad news to
cover their contracts, uneasy at the
failure to decline, covered their shorts
and lifted prices. The uncertainty over
the outcome of the Paris settlement
seems to have been a large influence
in a negative way in our market. The
progress of the settlement to-day and
reports that arrangements had been
made to patch up threatened difficult
ties in connection with it relieved the
stock market from some of it's depres-
sion and conduced to the rally Sugar
was the strongest stock, the only news
on it being the declaration of the regu-
lar dividends, about which there has
been no doubt felt, and a rise in the
price of refined sugar. The returns of
net earnings for January which APP
peared during the day included Cana
dian Pacific, Rock Island and Louisville
& Nashville and Colorado and South
ern, all showing declines in net earn
ings of varying degree compared with
last years corresponding period. Rock
Island and Canadian Pacific showed
some heaviness early in the day, but

with the rest of the market. Heavy

severest in the History Of the company

The feature OF the bill this week at
Polls is AL Shean and Charles L. War
rem in "ouo vadis" upside down. It's
the delight Of the comedy seekers at
this :avorite resort and has them all
in roars of laughter
The special feature followed with
some delightful comedy with 1.-The Two
Senator's" This is from the pen of
Charles Horwitz, and he has given
Monroe. Mack and Lawrence a good
sketch. The senators are busy, and the
young lady over whom the trouble
starts really has her hands full with the
two celebrated senators. All comes out
all right, however, and the wedding
march ends it all.
Minstrel shows are given on the bill
by Mitchell and Marion. Having rich
voices and a style Of telling jokes that
is very catchy they had no trouble in
making hit. The Rice family of tai
ented children was the novelty of the
bill. The youngster plays the violin in
an excellent manner.
Bertha and John Gleason and Fred
Houlihan, in songs and dances, display
ed some new steps. catchy songs. and
wore gorgeous and handsome costumes.
Wayne Remington was one of the big
acts on the bill. Wayne has four of the
bes. colored singers in the vaudeville.
They make sixteen changes of costumes
and sing as many songs. and dance con-
siderable more.

The orchestral accompaniment TO the
Farewell of wotan" from Wagner's
opera, Die walkure.'. which will be
sung by David Bispham at the concert
in woolsey hall Thursday afternoon, is
one of the most difficult things the New
Haven orchestra has ever undertaken.
The farewell. which closes the opera.
is intensely dramatic. Wotan, the
father of the gods. indignant at the
disobedience of the valkyrie Brunn-
hide, his favorite daughter, degrades
her from a goddess to a mortal and
condemns her to sleep on a mountain
top, surrounded by wall of fire, until
awakened by hero who is not afraid
to pass through the flames. The or
! CELESTIAL background to the touching
Farewell is of wonderful beauty.
When Wotan calls to his aid the Fire
God. Loge, to raise the wall of flame
around the sleeping Brunnhiide the fire
music begins in the orchestra, leaping
and flashing. 1t does not require much
effort of the imagination to picture the
dancing flames rising about the couch
of the sleeper. Bispham as Wotan, is
tremendously effective. His magnifi-
cent voice rolling out in those closing
measures of the opera above the crash
of teh orchestra, stirs even the most
unimaginative. The scenic picture will
be lacking on Thursday but even with
out it Bispham will stir the audience
/ Wagner's music is too great, and this
so-called aria, in particular, is too great
to need for its effect the aid of painted
canvas. 1t would be great music any
where.
There is much interest being shown
in the Tschaikowski Pathetic Symphony
las it is popularity called. That is not
hard to understand because it has an
intimate human interest, being gener-
ally supposed to be photographed
Its absolute perfection of beauty fas-
cinates and holds an audience from the
first note. 1t is a comparatively recent
work, being written only eleven years
but in that time it has probably had
more public performances than any
other symphony ancient or modern.

tomorrow are Beethoven's Overture

FAMILY OF SUICIDES
Ross P. CoIcord, Once Rich, Is
the Latest to Die.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-His patrimony
wasted in high living, Ross P. Colcord,
a member of a wealthy st. Louis fam
fly, was found dead today in a room
ing house on State street, where he
had committed suicide. Colcord's body
was found on a bed, fully dressed.
Every crevice through which air might
reach had been stuffed with cotton
batting and the gas turned on.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 26.-Joseph
Colcord, who thirty-five years ago
ranked high in the profession of the
law here, was father of Ross H. Col
cord. The father was found dead in
the family residence with bullet
through his heart, twenty years ago.
Near his body lay the dead body of a
woman, also shot. The family insisted
1t had been a double murder, but the
police declared it was a case of mur-
der and suicide.
Mrs. Lilly Colcord Hartman, sister
of Ross P. Colcord, was placed in a
private sanitarium near Milwaukee
over a year ago, after she had secured
q divorce. She disappeared and search
was made for her for two weeks before
she was found in the attic of the insti-
tuition, wedged in between a cross
beam and the roof, where she was
starving herself to death. She died
soon after.

down the hallway outside the court
room and had given expression to the
belief that each hour the jury spent in
discussing the case brought them
nearer to an acquittal. There was
very general astonishment that the
jury had included in the conviction
Samuel A. Croft, the Washington po-
liceman and inventor of the Croft
fastener, as to whom Holmes Conrad,
special counsel for the government,
yesterday informed the jury he did not
expect a conviction, and that he per-
sonally did not believe in his guilt.
Five ballots were taken. On the first
ballot the vote stood to 5 for con-
viction, on the second s to 4, on the
third 8 to 8, on the fourth 10 to 2, and
on the fifth the vote was unanimous.
Immediately after the verdict was
rendered Charles A. Douglas, on behalf
of all four defendants, filed motions for
new trial, for an arrest Of judgment
and also for an appeal for the purpose
of having the defendants admitted to
bail. Bail was then fixed at $4,000
each, the bond of Lorenz and the two
Groffs being increased from $4,000 to
that sum. When Mr.. Maddox, on be-
half Of the Groffs, inquired as to the
amount of bail to be required of them,
Justice Pritchard said:
'I know no difference between these
defendants The jury said they are
guilty and I cannot discriminate, but
will treat all alike"
Machen Is Thunderstruck.
Next to Samuel A. Croft, the most
surprised man was Machen, who said
he was thunderstruck at the verdict.
Intense interest was taken in the
events of today about the court house
The court room was packed when JUS
tice Pritchard, Immediately after con-
vening court, charged the jury and sent
it's members out to deliberate on the
evidence. They had been out only
about forty-five minutes when they
came into court with a request for GER"
tain exhibits and evidence. The ex-
hibits they were allowed to take to the
jury room. but Justice Pritchard said
that to permit them to go over the
transcript of the evidence would
amount to retriaT of the case in the
jury room and their request as to this
was denied.
Throughout the day Machen's father,
mother, two brothers and uncle and
sister remained about the court house,
as also did Mrs. Lorenz and Diller F.
Croft, son of Diller B. Croft, but with
the exception of Machen's uncle and
one brother, none of them was present
when the verdict was announced.
Foreman Peterson, after the jury had
been discharged, said that many points
were discussed in the jury room. The
$4,000 note of Lorenz to Machen, he
said, had been discounted" by the
jury. The fact that they were out so
long was because on the part of some
members there were some matters of
sentiment, but" he added, 1--WE over
came that by hard work.
The four defendants will appear be-

ROCHESTER, N.Y., HAS
A S3,OOO,OOO FIRE
Retail Dry Goods District of
Town Is Swept by a Sea of
Flames.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Feb 26.-Ten
fire engines are pouring streams Of wa
ter tonight on the ruins of what was
practically the entire retail dry goods
district of this city, for three out of the
city's five largest department stores
were consumed in today's fire. Tnsur-
ance men place the loss at $4,000, GOO.
OF this amount $750,000 represents the
loss on buildings, and the remainder on
stocks OF goods and the occupants of
offices. 1T is estimated that $500 peo-
pie are thrown out of work.
The burned district lies on the north
side of Main street, between st. Paul
street and Clinton avenue north, run
ming from st. Paul street almost the
entire length of the block. The fire
started in the store of the Rochester
Dry Goods company and worked west,
taking but one store east of the estab-
lishment, that of the Walkover Shoe
company, before its progress was
checked in that direction. Next west
was the store Of the Beadle & Sher-
burne company, which was destroyed.
Then the Marble block, occupied by
the Sibley, Lindsay & Curr company.
was burned, and finally the thirteen
story granite building, the lower part
of which also was occupied by the Sib-
ley. Lindsay & Curr company, and the
upper part by offices.
Front Wall and Shell Remain.
Only the front wall of the Marble
building is standing tonight. The shell
Of the Granite building is intact and the
floors are in place, but the building was
gutted.
The Sibley Lindsay & Curr COM
pany's six-story wholesale building, to-
gether with the stables in the rear, was
destroyed with all it's contents, this loss
being placed at $1,400,000. 1t was the
largest establishment Of it's kind In the
city. There was a livery stable and
some frame dwellings on Division
street, narrow thoroughfare running
in the rear of the burned buildings, and

and twenty-five minutes. Justice
Pritchard had gone to his home, there
to await any summons from the jury,
and when at 7:25 o'clock the jury an
nounced to the deputy marshal outside
the jury room that verdict had been
reached the justice was sent for and
arrived at the court house shortly be-
fore o'clock.
In the dimly lighted room sat the

was given to the jury, had been placed

counsel seemed appalled,.

PARLIAMENT WILL
DISSOLVE SOON
Liberals Seem Certain to Gain
aLarge Majority In the
Election.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-There will be
dissolution Of parliament within six
weeks; and IL. as 1t ia expected, theI
Liberals are returned to power, King
Edward will summon Lord Spencer,
Liberal leader in the house OF lords, to
form a cabinet His majesty and all
the prominent politicians are fully
aware Of the situation created by the
irrernediable cleavage in the Unionist
ranks by fiscal and other differences;
fall of the government and conse-
quent general election.
The governments majorities have
been dwindling gradually ever since
the commencement OF the present
session Of parliament. A majority of
81 out of nominal 120. or thereabouts,
was all the government could muster
after DEBATE of one week on SO i'm
portant plank of its policy as the
fiscal question. A similar small ma
jority saved the government from de-
feat on the army question, while last
night it could only show a beggarly
majority of IA against an opposition
amendment reducing the important
supplementary navy vote.
Such large numbers of the govern
ment's usual supporters have decided
not to stand for re-election that they
are Indifferent as to when the dissolu-
ton occurs; and, in spite of ali the eff
forts Of the whips, 1t has been found
impossible to secure their regular at
tendance.
On the other hand, the opposition
factions have been gradually healing
their differences and their constant at
tacks upon the government have shown
rapidly increasing strength.
The decision of the government
against the Irish university bill COM
pleted The alienation Of the National
lists, and John Redmond's followers de-
cided at meeting yesterday to vote
with the Liberals to turn out the gov
ernment at the first opportunity.
