The Primary Election.

The arrangements for the primary
election to be held in this city on Mon
day next have been virtually completed.
The polls will be opened at the usual
places in the different wards at sunrise
and continue open until sunset. While
the candidates for the various positions
have not been slow in informing sulira-
gaus that they are applicants for certain
positions the rank and file of the voters
have manifested no special ardor, and Ii
is thought that the vote will be, when
compared with that of past years, hgnt'
About one-half of the voters OF the city
have failed TO qualify, a large percent
age not having paid their capl;at'on
tax. while Others who have done so have
failed TO make themselves qualified vot-
ers by neglecting to register. Some may
not care to go to the trouble to vote.
The result of an election under present
conditions is hard to foretell, from The
fact that a large portion OF suiiragan'
are of the "vest pocket" class who foi
various reasons are 10th to tell whom they
purpose 10 support A large proportion
of an element who added excitement t
a primary election in by-gone days, are
under present laws, rendered apathetic'
and will be conspicuous by their absence
next Monday.

Funeral.

The funeral of the late Ella Griffith
took place from the large brick house on
the west side of Lee street, between
Queen and Princess, this afternoon.
The remains of the woman as they lay
in the casket in the front room we're
viewed by many persons during the day.
There was marked quiet not only In The
house but in the vicinity in the presence
of death. As the hour for the funeral
drew near a number of persons gathered
around the house, some probably AMI
mated by curiosity, but others through
sincere commiseration for the woman
whose downward course had ended IN
self-destruction. The services were con-
ducted by Rev. J. P. Stump and the III
terment was made in Bethel cemetery

Seyeuly-one banks and trust cOmpan'

several situated in various parts of the
country, are among the creditors of the
banking firm of Burnett, Cummings &
Co of Baltimore, which yesterday filed
a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the
United States District Court with liabi-
!ities placed at 81, 7l4,S6S. The asserts
are stated to be uncertain, but the credit
tors have been given to understand that
they will not exceed 5000, 600, if, indeed,
they prove to be OF any value. The

filed in the Massachusetts, district.

the Fayette street track will be removed

city. The iron bridges across Braddock
road and the electric railway tracks have
have been placed 10 position and that
over Shutters Hill road is in an advanced
stage. Apart from some minor grad

nv Mrs. Ophella j. Hart: A large
audience was present. The stage

of Mr.. Finley S. Hayes. The solos OF
Miss Daisy Brown as "Casilda," and
Mr. Clarence Owens as "Marco, re-
ceiyed marked applause. The nidden
humor of his part WAS skilltully brought
oat bv DIR. Frank ID. Rice and was aPPre'

of Gondoieri aud Contsdine sustained
by the Misses Josephine Adams and
Marie Rousseau and Messrs. VI renee
Owens and Richard V. Dey was re-
ceiyed with manifest appreciation
throughout the entire performance. Inc

of graceful young girls was prominent
feature. The work of the chorus was
spirited and was greatly enjoyed.

New York stock Market.

New York. May 26.-The trading element
bought stocks at the opening and then turned
sellers following the announcement OF me
failure of a small Ohio bank which, coupled
with Yesterdays news developments, lncreas-
ed the confidence Of the bears and made them
eager TO increase their outstanding lines OF
short stock. The buying, like that sinee the
beginning Of the week, has been far better
than the selling so far today, and there Is
general comment among brokers active on
the floor that the days news has caused little
outside liquidation. An idea prevails IN
usually we'll informed circles that the good
buying may become aggressive. The shoit
interest has been heavily increased as a result
Of the trading yesterday afternoon and this
morning, and some Of the larger traders said
they believed the bear position had again be-
