Stocks and Bonds.

New York, April 13.-At any time
today the stock market would nave
been pronounced spotty and irregular
and it is only by survey of the DAY
trading as whole that the amount OF
strength manifested is properly dls-
Jerned 1t was not until late in the
day that any clearly defined tendency
developed in the market. In the early
dealings there was considerable dis
appointment caused to the profession
al element by the halt in the advance
Of those stocks which made the buoy
ant outburst at the closing last night.
u. S. Steel preferred. Union racine
and Amalgamated Copper were not
able examples 1t was characteristic
of the market also that after ad-
vances had proceeded for a time the
stock thus affected would come to
pause while others were brought for
ward This process kept the traders
constantly confused in attempting to
follow the different movements or 70
determine the general trend of the
market The confusion of mind led to
a suspicion of the market which was
quite stubbornly held, in spite of the
gradual spread of strength through
different portions of the list. The re-
sumption of the aggressive advance in
Union Pacific had as much to do, as
ANYTHING with the decision of the
trend of the market. The manner III
which this stock is supported in spite
of the doubts engendered regarding
the flood of rumors concerning it and
the failure of disturbing rumors of
various kinds to weaken the market
effectually has had the effect of in
timidating the bears and re-aSsuring
sentiment. Readings striking move
ment today was fostered by rumors
that the stock is to be put on q four
per cent dividend basis. Stories of a
comprehensive combination of great
corporate interests in the "copper"
smelling and lead industries helped the
efforts of pools in the stocks affected
to advance their prices. The Northern
Securities settlement again emery ed
into prominence with the vague inti-
nation that next week with the issue
of the mandate of the Supreme Court
for the distribution of the company's
assets the great merger projects which
have been waiting on that event Will
eliminate. The constant shifting or
| the demand developed q large num-
| Der of gains as the day progressed
and there was a considerable expan.
sion in the volume of the market. A
movement to take profits carried
prices back before the close but they
came up again and the irregular
| closing was not far below the TOP
level
! Bonds were irregular. Total sales
(par value) $3,050,000.
II. S. bonds were all unchanged on
call.

Startling ReveIatiops Expected.

New York. Jaly 2l.-Eeanor Van
deventer, 6ance OF Frederick Z. Carlton,
Brooklyn's so-calIed Bluebesrd, is under
arrest today in the Adams street police
station Startling revelations in the re-
markable case are expected as the result
of her arrest. It is believed that In-
spector Cross expects her to tell facts
OF sensational interest concerning the
man who is suspected of poisoning the
last two of his six or more wives. Carl
ton was arraigned today in the Brooklyn
courthouse ON charge of larceny. The
arrest of Mrs. Vandeventer, who says
that she was engaged to marry Carlton
and that the wedding was to be in six
months, was made after long confer
ence between Inspector Cross, Anthony
Comstock, head of the society for the
prevention of vice, and Miss Marie Bres-
lin, of No. l45 Wyckoff street. She is
charged with violating section of the
penal code which concerns the exposure
or sale of obscene photographs. Miss
Breslin declares that Carlton threated to
make a trick photograph of her by plac-
ing her face on another figure. The
photograph which il is believed he in
tended to combine with Der was found
in one of Cartoons trunks. Mrs Van-
deventer is said to have posed for it.
Mrs. Vandeventer has admitted that her
life had been insured by Carlton, who is
now accused of defrauding insurance
companies by burying dummy" bodies.
The arrest of another woman is now
being considered, according to Inspector
Cross.
After having been cross examined By
Inspector Cross Eleanor VaUdeventer
made an attempt at suicide today by at
tempting to jump from the window of
the inspectors room at police headquar-.
tiers in Brooklyn. She was barely pre-
vented by the inspector from carrying
out her design.
Arrsigned before Magistrate Tighe, in
Brooklyn, she pleaded not guilty, and
was held in $500 bail for trial July 3lst.
She is charged with three crimes. They
are conspiracy. attempted blacamail,
and violation of section 3l7 OF the penal
code, in utteriug and having in her
possession obscene photographs.
The photographs were those OF her
self in nude condition. From these
the head had been removed and that OF
Miss Marie Breslin pasted in its place.
Then the composite photo was photo
grapbed, and use to blackmal Miss.
Breslin.

Mr.. JOHN d. ROCKEFELLER, 1t IS SAID,
thirsts for sympathy and hungers for kind
words. With his uncOunted millions and
his mastery of men, his lifelong ambi-
ton gratifed and no more worlds left for
his conqueriDg, the richest man in the
world sits by the hour at Forest Hllb
his chin sunk in his breast, or walks
for hours under tae trees CT his magnIfi-
cent estate, always alone, except for his
guards, who keep at distance from
him, always in gloom. He has lost IN
terest in golf he has become morose.
Never free in his conversations with his
employees, he now speaks only when abb
solutely necessary, and then gives his
directions tersely and absently. His
greatest interest now is in his press
clipping bureau, which is known to be a
system perfected as highly as those
maintained for the benefit of kings
The food OF printed denunciation re-
Gently let loose upon him exercises over
him a fascination fiom which he can
not escape, though the inevitable conse-
ouence IS humiliation and heartburning.
Instead of denunciafions, Mr.. ROckefel-
Ter should have the sympathy OF man
kind. burdened as he is by hundreds OF
millions of dollars, which bring their
many cares and make him target for
the envious and irresponsible, while
wiId-eyed people are ever reminding
him of the difficulty experienced by a
rich man in entering the kingdom Of
heaven. We are told, however, that
this is possible. In the meantime the
modern CrGsus mingles with the brethren
in the PRAYER meeting and de-
liyers humble exhOrtations. While 1t
is true that ''nOt many wise men, not
many mighty, not many noble are call
ed" they are by no means excluded,
and the unfortunate possessor Of hun
dreds of millions Of dollars will as gladly
Law down his burden at the close Of life
as those who have all their lives battled
with poverty.

The Southern Railway.

Ii is ascertained on good authority
that the impending report of the South
ern Railways business for the fiscal year
ended June 30 will be one Of the most
remarkable annual reports ever made by
a railroad in the South. The year has
been the best the system has ever en-
joyed and the increase in revenues is
said to make a wonderful showing. The
report is to be issued in the next few
days.
Judge Prilchard, of the United States
Court, after hearing arguments at Ashe.
vile, n. c., yesterday, in the case OF
the appointment of a receiyership for the
South Carolina and Georgia Railroad,
branch of the Southern, decided that
there was no cause for a receiver. The
case involved the constitutional amend
ment of South Carolina making it un-
lawful for any railroad TO merge, lease
or control a competing line. 1t is claim
ed that the Southern took over the South
Carolina and Georgia road, competing
line, in violation of the law, and that
citizens of South Carolina now had suits
pending against the Southern to the
amount OF $40, 600. President Samuel
Spencer and Vice Presidents Andrews.
Ackert, Powell and other high officials
were present.
