Clinton w. Barnes, the New York
attorney and millionaire, is the owner

1000 butts" of cigars that have given

away by presidents, kings, emperors

speakers of the house, congressman
candidates for the presidency. great
generals, and other famous men of his

Turtle Weiuhs 700 Pounds.

A monster sea turtle, known as a
leather.hack, has been captured at the
mouth of the Nanticoke river, in Mary
land The turtle weighed between COO
and 700 pounds was fraction over
six feet long from tip to tip Of Shell
and had flppers over three feet from
tip to tip.
A half inch hawser was required to
halter the big fellow to post. During
an effort to free itself the rope, which
was fastened over the head and under
the fippers, became so tight that it
was found that the turtle would be
choked The big reptile became en-.
tangled in an ordinary fish net spread
off the mouth of the Nanticoke and
practically wrecked it.

PerceptibIe Relaxation in MOney--Re-
 lief from Pressure of Liquidation.
 New York, Oct. 10.-There was some perceptible relaxation in the money market to-day and a resulting relief from the pressure of liquidation on the stock market which was in evidence yesterday. At the same time one or two incidents calculated to inspire the speculative spirit occurred. The result was movement towards recovery in prices. There was nothing like a re- vival of speculative activity, however, as shown by the practical cutting in half of the volume of transactions compared with yesterday. Except in a few closely held stocks the price move ment was marrow and sluggish. The long prevalent rumors of melon-cut- ting for the Great Northern stockhold- CTS developed in the dicision to issue $25,000,000 of new stock, present stock holders to be allowed to subscribe at par to the extent of 20 per cent. of their holdings. The announcement seemed to be unexpected at just this time, and the price of the stock was rushed up over points during the first hour. In the curb market a quotation was established for the subscription rights by sales at 351a to 37. The stock was also helped by the statement of gross earnings reported for September, which reached $4,955,651, an increase over the previous year of $1,O57, 1856.
