particulars, and this settled the
question of the Philadelphia
tiara, for a time at least.
Nothing more happened in
a week, and then came an
other surprise. A pawnbroker
on Fourteenth-st. called on
me and showed me a narrow
gold-and-diamond wristlet con-
tanning eighteen fine diamonds.
He said that a friend of his,
a man whom he knew well,
had called on him the night
before and wanted to borrow
three thousand dollars on it.
The pawnbroker did not like
to lend the money, in fear
that it had been stolen. l
asked where his friend got it,
and the pawnbroker said:
"He lent three thousand
dollars on it to a man who had
lost heavily at the Gambetta
Club"
Who was the mani"

against him.

tiara.

My interest in the received a tremendous
impetus one morning from a telegram from the
chief of detectives in Philadelphia. A tiara some

by the Philadelphia police in pawnbroker's shop.

He was going to take
supper with Del Bonti that
evening, and l suggested that
| would drop into the res
taurant by accident. This |
did, and was introduced to
Del Bonti and invited to join
them. Del Bonti was stout
young Italian of madam's
stamp, the peasant rather
than the aristocratic. He
had a round face, round fea-
lures and slightly projecting
brown eyes. He was generous,
enthusiastic, and as far as l
could see anything but a
potential thief. Gambling
and love, however, do strange
things with mems natures.

more touching the lines of the New-York case, yet
apparently having connection with it whatever.

Elements out of the way there was no
reason for any further restraint on an
active demand for stocks. Some restraint
nevertheless made itself felt in the days
operations. as was shown by the hating
and Irregular manner of the price move
ment and by the moderate volume of the
transactions. The activity in the railroad
list was very largely concentrated in
few stocks, while the mass of securities
most inert. In the Industrial department
there was manifest spirit of adventure
which wandered freely through the list,
picking out subjects here and there for
wide and sudden movements.
The first animation in the railroad list
was awakened by renewed consideration
of the topic of the Northern Securities
case. The report was circulated early
IN the day that the decision in this case
was to be handed down upon the reas-
sembling of the court at noon after the
spring recess. Union Pacific sprang into
prominence as had been the case when
ever this subject is actively discussed in
the stock market. There was renewed
assumption that the final disposition of
this case was the event awaited for the
putting into force long rumored project
of Union Pacific and New York Cen
trail combination. In today's market large
buying of the Erie stocks was executed
in such a way as to give the appearance
of the coming from the same source as
. the Union Pacific and New York Central
buying. The first reI7rt from the SUI
preme court after noon Indicated a stay,
which might involve a further indefinite
delay, and prices in the group had a
sharp setback. In the industrial depart
ment much was made in general way
of the high degree of activity in all trades
and industries and the prosperous eondi-
tions existing. But these were supple
mented by detailed reports having a spe-
cific bearing on many properties.

rumors of a dividend increase in National
