nominally these were men and women

The security Of jewels under the keep
ing Of great jewelry company, with
its safes and it's carefully adjusted sys-
TEN Of accountability by all those hand
ling them, has not been distrusted. Peo-
pie may have been wary about turning
over costly jewels for resetting or for
repair except to establishments Of in
dubitable trustworthiness; but for that
very reason concerns which have won
and which deserve public confidence
have been necessarily trusted the more.
Generally, too. the buyers OF precious
stones, unable themselves to discrimi-
nate as to the genuineness Of these, are
obliged to give full faith to the seller,
and consequently highly reputable
jeweler occupies what is peculiarly n
position OF trust.
1t may be assumed. therefore, that
the important jewelry company which
has suffered by the loss OF the three
costly diamonds will exhaust every
means OF discovering and Furnishing the
thief or thieves and IN strengthening it's
system Of protection against such a
chance. whatever may be the cost in
time and money. The very foundation
OF its business and Of the trade In which
it is 80 dominant depends on the stop
ping Of such leak; and, moreover, the
determination Of the exact cause Of the
loss ia essential as an act Of justice to Its
employees in whom 80 much confidence
must necessarily be imposed. The en-
ployees in the best jewelry trade gener-
ally are men carefully selected because
OF irreproachable character. and in this
particular company some OF them, II not
many. are not only Of long service In
the corporation but also among its
stockholders

comes up for consideration. in view OF
the repeated thefts Of jewels from pri-

Weakness More Recommendation
eddy Due to Uncertain Outlook in
Russia.
New York, Jan. 25.-The weakness of
stocks, which became more pronounced
to-day, was doubtless attributable to
the uncertain outlook in Russian, but
the effect was not produced directly
through the usual channels. In fact,
London bought here during the early
part os the day almost as freely as it
sold on Monday. The tone Of the for
eign markets generally also reflected a
relaxation of the acute anxiety over
the situation in Russia. These influ-
ences gave the upward impulse to
prices at the opening. A tendency
has been noticeable on the part of pro-
fessional traders to put out line Of
short contracts late in the day on the
supposition that unexpected events
over night would be likely to favor the
bear side. With the opening of the
following days market and with af-
fairs in st. Petersburg apparently inn
proved the market has been strong in
| the early dealings. But with the bet
ter basis of prices afforded by the
opening to-day there was some import
ant speculative liquidation. This was
believed to come largely from western
sources and from the great steel CEN
tiers on the part of operators who We're
responsible for the large transactions
of last week on the long side of the
| market. While no positively unfav-
| orable news becomes known to account
for the speculative liquidation it was
| thought probable that it had been de-
| cided by those who had entered on the
speculation that no considerable pub
| lie interest could be expected in the
market while affairs in Russia contin-
ued in so uncertain a state. With
| prospects poor for an advance in prices
it seemed to be considered the part OF
wisdom to tighten holdings. The very
heavy demands reached by the gold
j export movement to-day was a chilling
| influence on speculative sentiment, the
| more SO as the movement has no de-
! fined limit in sight. The dispute among
: the railroads over export grain rates
as between the Atlantic and the gull
( ports came in for some consideration
| and favorable action by a congression-
al committee upon a proposed investi-
cation of the United States Steel corpo
ration weighed upon it's securities
The demand to cover from the days
short sellers was sufficient to effect q
material rally and the closing was firm

clines.

RumOred Armistice Affects Prices Fa-
yorabIy-Then Stocks Ran Off-SOme
of the Declines.
A press dispatch from Washington
last night says: The house committee
on the judiciary to-day authorized IA
vorable report on the resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Little, of Arkansas, di-
recting the secretary of commerce and
labor to investigate the iron and steel
industry in the United Sta a. 1t pro-
vides that he shah ascertaSs@ to what
extent the United Staets Steel corpora
ton and its Constituent companies con-
troll the output and prices of the COM
/, modities named; also to what extent it
controls the prices and output of indie
pendent companies whether it sells it's
product cheaper abroad than to the do
nestle trade, and whether conditions in
the industry result from any contract,
combination or agreement in the nature
of a trust or conspiracy in restraint of
trade between the states and with for
eign countries, The resolution was
amended so as to require the results of
| the investigation to be reported "ac-
cording to law instead of to the Fifty
| ninth congress.
Over the news of the proposed inves-
tigation by congress of the United
States Steel corporation the market
| slipped off.
Traders were anxious and worked for
a decline, and got it; and prices for
most stocks shaded off at the close.
There was bull talk yesterday after
noon on the report that Russia had
| asked for an armistice. The traders
tried to cover their shorts and found
very few stocks offering. 1t was claim
ed that the Steel corporation itself is
behind INVESTIGATION of Steel business in

HUW THE BRIDGE
Will Be LIGHTED

Charles Uhalfant, Esq, attorney for
Gesrhart township, yesterday stated
that the County Commissioners and
the township Supervisors having come
to an understanding relative to the
appro ach on the South side it was his
opinion that the river bridge would be
thrown open to the public yet during
the present week.
The County Commissioners Of Mon
tour are of the same opinion and are
very anxious to push along the i'm
provements at the Danville approach
as speedily as possible.
The laying of brick on the new pave.
ment by last evening was completed
between Market and Front streets with
the exception of the space between the
rails of the trolley track. About all
ment can be accomplished in two days,
which will leave ono half of the week
for winding up work at the bridge ap-
proach.
Our County Commissioners are very
anxious to have everything ready when
the bridge Is thrown open. Not only
will the approach be put in shape If
possible, but the Danville and Sunbury
Street Railway Company will be ask
ed to light up the bridge just as soon
as it is handed over. The expense of
lighting has been assumed by the troll
ley company in addition to bearing
one third of the cost both of filling up
the abutments and of keeping the
bridge in repair.
The lights will be great attraction
on the bridge. At each abutment and
each pier there is a lamp post on each
side of the bridge, making sixteen in
all. Each post is designed for two
lights, which will be sixteen candle
