He stated last evening that as soon as he receiv- ed the money from the Yale authorities he would give it to the men, but that he could not give it to them before he got 1t, very well.

titude towards the market assumed by important financial powers. The sharp loses which were suffered gave spirit to some Of the assertions that combina- tions had been formed to raid the mar ket and that some of the advertised at tacks on special properties Of the last few days really represented a deeply laid plot which had the backing of great capitalists. The easy manner in which Amalgamated Copper sueeumbed to successive attacks was the ground for these assertions. Much importance was attached to dinner and confer ence of railroad corporations which took place here last night and which, they supposed adopted alarming conclu- sions over the prospect for the rail- roads afforded by the presidents rec ommendation to allow the interstate commerce commission power to fix freight rates. The tumble in Amalgam- ated Copper was from n 1-4 at the clos ing last night to 6S S-S near the closing to-day. The decline in Sugar, Tennes see Coal, Colorado Fuel, Lackawanna and some other special stocks ran from to 15 points. but aside from these 1t is hardly worth while to detail the declines. which ranged generally from to over 3 points. The closing was weak and not far from the lowest un- der the influences of renewed breaks in Amalgamated Copper and Sugar. The few points of strength in the morning session were swept into the downward current.
 Bonds yielded in sympathy with stocks. Total sales. par value, $7S20,- 600.

Dublin Dec. i5.-It seems that the

and had left the bulk Of her fortune to
n brother and sister who live in an
obscure little village called Donough-

This brother, Joseph 0'Hore had al-
ready entered into negotiations with
his landlord TO buy his small farm Of
30 acres with the aid OF money pro-
vIded under the land act, but when the
welcome news arrived that there was
