THREATEN TO
BLOW A UP HALL.
Charles Baumlin's $ Hall at Keas.
hey Threatened to be Des-
troyed Tcnlsht.

A number of Presidents :of Keasbey are
In fear of attending the ball TO be given
tonight in Charles Baumlin's dance
hall, at that place, because of divers
threats circ ulated to the effect that the
hall would be blown up during the pro
gress of the dance. An unsigned letter
containing this threat, was received, and
two or three men .are declared to have
uttered sim liar threats.
The malice, or other ill-feeling, If any,
is thought to be directed .at the society
which is holding the ball, and not at
BaumIin. The latter at first trea te e
matter as joke, but. as the stories
the threats multiplied and grew, he gave
the matter more serious consideration.
Two constables were hired to be present
tonight, and watch for any strange ac-
tions on the part of the men suspected or
any others.
This afternoon an effort was made to
secure warrant for the arrest of the most
active of the alleged conspirators.
Some of the more sober-minded of the
members of the society and residents of
Keasbey are not inclined to give much
heed to the threats. They do not believe
the deed is contemplated, and reason that,
even if il was, the men who planned to
do it woull not thus expose themselves.

Returned to City Clerk Without His Signature Civ
ing His Reasons for Not Signing it--Says He
Has Received Numerous Protests From Busin-
ess Mon and Factories-Declares that Board
Of Aldermen Neglected to Give Public Hearing

Mayor Seaman, last night, returned
to tho city clerk, unsigned, with his
reasons, the ordinance granting q
franchise to the Hudson u Midllesex
Telephone and Telegraph Company
This is the same In effect as direct
veto, and, to pass it now. five Of the
seven votes of the council would be
reqniied to pass 1t over the mayors
veto. In view of the stand already
taken, whom Aldermen Loft, Runyon
aud Done van voted against the meas-
ure at the meeting when 1t was passed.
by 4-3 vote, it is practically dead
measure.
Tho communication, which was
brought to the attention of the alder
men Mt their committee meeting, last
night, stated that Mayor Seaman had
received pro ests, against the granting
OF the franchise, from o number Of
factories and business men Of the city.
Another reason given was that it is
tho custom for city councils TO give
publ, hearing ON an ordinance OF
that character, before taking final
action OH It, Another reason stated
was that the usual procedure cf pub
fishing the franchise in the news
papers az the expense of the company
applying, had not been complied
with.
All the protests from citizens and
concerns of the city which the mayor
says he has received. with the exeep-
tion of one. were sent by mail, where-
as, at the public hearing on the ordin-
ance, Thursday night, Ill the opinions
except those of Cornelius P. Convery
aud the N. Y. & N. J. Telephone
Company, the rival concern OF the
Hudson g. Middlesex., were favorable
TO the granting OF the franchise, to
foster competition, lower rates and
better service. When the mayor was
nsked by News reporter the names
Of those protesting Ivy mail, he re-
fused to make them public.

fects of the days depressing factors were
y'Iy moderate and were we'll resisted. But
Gree the depression was overcome all In
terest in the market abruptly terminated.
There seemed to be waiting demand Tor
stocks on any declines. hut no buyers
were at hand to follow any advance. The
principal pressure upon the market came
from foreign sources. This was we'll alb
sol bed and prices were at no time down
to the London parity The sentimental
effect of the decided upset in the Paris
ana Berlin Bourses were very slight. The
favorable bank statement was help to
the resistance to depression here. The
Si.5f4 400 increase in cash was not UNI
expected, and is attributed to return
OF money from the South, where the col
iaIsc N cotton speculation has decreased
the immediate need. Some of the money
sent to Baltimore is believed also to have
ccmc back. The loan decrease is evidence
that corporation borrowings have been
largely supplied out OF the previous loan
expansion. It is probable also that the
proceeds OF railroad loans are left on de-
pcslt with the banks pending the needs
tor employing the funds, which arc avail
able to the loan market in the meantime.

(Snecial to News and Observer )

Especial to News and Observer
New York, Feb. 20.-When it is consid-
cred that excitement is at fever heat in
Europe over the Far Eastern war and the
fear that additional complications will
result therefrom. the stock market in
stead Of breaking sharply as anticipated
by many. has merely relapsed into dull
ness and with "a slight suggesting tenden-
cy. No more liquidation is observable,
and as our opinion the comparative
strength is remarkable, it indicates that
the bulk of the floating securities are in
the strongest possible hands, and that
large outstanding short interest is made
up entirely of professional operators,
with the public almost entirely aloof from
the market. The efforts of the worlds
greatest diplomacy will be exerted to con-
fine the war to the present participants
and there is every reason to believe that
such effort will be successful in averting
further difficulties. The grain markets
continue to soar May wheat selling to-
day at $1.O7. July reaching 96B, thereby
making further gain of over cents per
bushel on the day. Provisions were firm
er. We consider the provision market
very attractive and the advances scored
are highly dsproportionate to the grain
advance. and it is only question of time
before pork, ribs and lard will participate
in the rise.
Cotton scored another advance but
broke sharply in New Orleans after the
close of our market. We are inclined to
think that recent advance too rapid and
advise sales for turn.
Very truly yours,
w. B. SMITH & co.
