Eastern Railroad system to Invade
New Field.


The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad is planning to move
further West and invade the Eastern
trunk line territory as an Independent
proposition. This corporation has close
afhliations with the Pennsylvania, and
Is openly antagonistic to the New York
Central although using the latter's
New York terminals under lease. IT'S
recent purchase of the Ontario and
western is only the beginning of a
campaign of expansion and extension.
1t is said to have designs on either the
Lehlgh valley or Erie, or both, and
to be full of ambition to extend it's
influence in the transportation world.
The New Haven is one of j. Pierpont
Morgan's pets. He has taken more
real live interest in that property than
In any of the corporations with which
he is identified, and he is said to be
the moving spirit in the new schemes
of expansion.

Reaction Party Getting stronger.

The reaction in the stock market is
getting stronger numerically and in
point of influence. 1t includes some
of the strongest and most experienced
operators in the street. 1t is going on
the theory that the prosperity feature
of the sitaution has been sufficiently
discounted by the advance which has
taken place and that the general mar
ket would be benefited by a setback
in prices about this time.
The banking interests are now di-
vided in their market position and not
even all the Standard Oil crowd are
a unit at this time, some holding that
there should be a decided reaction or
at least a halt of considerable dura-
tion, while others want to continue
the juggle and mark up the prices of
the goods to still higher levels before
pulling out and taking a rest. They
have not yet completed their plans for
new fiotations and distribution of
new issues Of securities and think it
will be just as easy to work off the
goods at higher figures than those
now ruling. The two market factions
are seemingly about equally matched
in strength and influence. conse-
quently the market front presents
ragged and irregular appearance.

ManipuIation of ActIve securities.

Manipulation is strikingly evident in
many of the active favorites while in
others the tape is proof of continued
energetic liquidation by the insiders
and Of increasing pressure. That por-
ton of the public which has come in
to the market within the last thirty
or forty days has had practically no
profit in it's trades although as yet
serious loss has not been incurred.
This is a good thing for the outside
players in one sense. although It may
breed over-confidence which will be
costly later on as II will encourage
stubbornness to stand out against
losses instead OF taking alarm and
fleeing therefrom.

gamblers in these securities, however,

preferred Steel from 100 down to so
and in the common from 55 to under
8. These hundreds of thousands Of
small fry traders and men of larger
calibre were frozen out, countless num-
bers losing every dollar they possessed
on earth, having been induced to buy
the stuff largely on account of the
great names identified with the cor
poration and in the guileless convic-
ton that the multi-millionaires con-
nected with the property would pro-
tect the public against shrinkage in
prices. Not until they had been ROAST
ed to death did they learn that the
stock they were buying at fancy figures
had been sold to them by the insiders
Now that the preferred is nearly back
to record figures and the common more
than half way back, there are signs
of another unloading by insiders.
Rumors of Steel Manipulation.
Incidental to the manipulation which
is going on in Steel there is a re-
newal of further bond conversion Jug
glery and persistent rumorS of the ac-
QUESTION of several of the independent
iIOh COIupdilIeS at Terms winch must
net the insiders tremendous profits.
These reports are met with denials of
course, but in Wall street denials do
not count for anything. Insiders seem
to regard it as their bounden duty to
lie about their plans until a conclusion
has been reached. They probably argue
that it is none of the public's business,
and they have the additional strong
reason for secrecy in the fact that
premature publicity nine times out of
ten delays contamination and really
does no good. Experience has taught
caution in this respect.

THE COUNTRY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
WeekIy's Need and lmpOrta nee Too Little APP
preciated by the General Public.

There is probably no auxiliary to an
advanced civilization so little appre-
ciated by the communities served by it
as Is the country newspaper.
Go to any small town and ask to be
directed to the newspaper office, and
in many cases along with the infor
nation sought will be the volunteered
remark that the paper "don't amount
to much, or sit never has anything
in it."
And yet this same paper is watched
for by every resident of the place to
learn what has happened in the COM
munity since its last issue, and what
is going to happen in the future--for
the editor is expected to know what
the stranger in town last week was
there for, and what the stranger will
be in town next week and what he is
going to do.
The Chieftain has had much reason
during the preparation of its New
Year edition to be thankful to the
country editors for condensed infor
nation regarding the resources of the
various counties represented in this
paper. In every instance, no matter
whether the paper is Republican or
Democrat, our representation have
been treated with the greatest cOur-
tesy and freely furnished with all the
information at the command of the
editor. And in many instances from
no other source could the information
have been obtained in time to be avail
able.
The people too often but little ep-
preciate the fact that while their local
paper may not "have much in it, it
is the only medium by which the out
side world can know anything of the
local happenings of the small com
munity, and that it is not only a week
ly letter from home to many who have
gone out into the world, but it is also
the one source to which the stranger
desiring information regarding a To-
cality and its resources can apply
without being referred to some one
else.
OF all the newspapers of the state
no class is doing more in proportion
to its resources and opportunities il
promoting the development of the sep
arate localities and of the state as
whole than the country weeklies. II
you cannot afford to take your home
paper and the Chieftain, too, take
your home paper and borrow tn,
Chieftain of the editor. He will loar
it to you.-Pueblo, (Col.) Chieftain.

FORMAL MINUTES OF The PRESBYTERY.
Rev. J. r. miIligan, Stated Clerk, Makes An
HOuncCment Regarding the EIwOOd Case.


HOuncement Regarding the EIwOOd Case.
Friday the Presbytery of New Cas-
tie, through the Rev. j. r. Milligan,
its stated clerk, makes formal an
nouncement of the result of the trial
of the Rev. R. A. Elwood, pastor of
Olivet Presbyterian Church of Will
mington. The specifications have al
ready been printed in the Morning
Ne,Os. The judgment of the eccles-
iastic court follows:
The Presbytery of New Castle in
session at New Castle, February 2,
1904, having tried the cause of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America VS.. Rev. r. A. Ell
wood, in the manner ana form pro-
vided by the Book of Disciplin g, and
having sustained the charge and
specifications Nos. 1, 4, and 6, under
it, to wit: The charge of unchris tian
and unministerial conduct as set forth
in said specifications, Nos. /, and G..
Wherefore the Presbytery of New
Castle sitting as a iudicatory would
enter this judgment to wit: That the
sermon in evidence and preached by
the Rev. r. A. Elwood, June 81, 1903,
is to be and hereby is unqualifedly
condemned as uttering and proragat-
ing views and teachings, not only in
violation of the constitution of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America, but as a subser-
sive of social order, aud hostile to the
regularly constituted civil authorities,
aud calculated to promote lawlessness.
But in consideration of the unusual
and peculiarly distressing circum-
stances when said sermon was preach.
ed, and giving full weight to Rev. r.
A. Elwood's declared purity of inten.
ton, the Judicatory hereby most
earnestly and affectionately counsel
him to righteousness of utterance at
all times, places and circumstances.

Isidor Rayner was elected United

ceed Louis e. McComas He was
nominated in caucus Wednesday even
ing.
The vote was at first 80 for Rayner
to 80 for Ex-Governor John Walter
Smith. On motion of Senator Apple
garth, of Dorchester, it was afterward
made unanimous.
Mr.. Rayner's victory is considered
a serious blow to the Democratic or
ganization headed by Senator German,
as at the last minute all the power of
the latter was thrown in favor of a
secret ballot in the caucus. This was
desired by Mr.. Smith, as he had been
assured that a large number of the
Baltimore delegates were only held to
Mr.. Rayner by promises, which it is
alleged, had been extorted before the
election, and would break to Smith
under the cover of written or printed
