Marion Pease, a section laborer
working for the Northwestern at
Blair, was run over yesterday by
freight train No. 33. The accident was
entirely the fault of the man. He at
tempted to get on the train as it was
pulling up heavy grade into Blair,
near the bridge. Nobody saw him
and the conductor did not know that
he had tried to get on until the jar of
the wheels of the way car, passing
over his legs, was felt by the passen-
gers. The young man was taken to

died at about noon. He was sixteen

The gravel committee of the city
council, which has been looking up
the matter of graveling First street,
has about decided to get material from
the vicinity of Niobrara. Gravel from
the Raasch hill west of the city had
been contemplated, but as Mr.. Raasch
has not placed a price on two or three
acres of his land, that project was
given up. 1t had been thought that
perhaps rough stone could be had
there, which could be used for rough
: work on the streets, but as the Mo.
= brara stone will probably answer the
purpose, that is now being investigat.

 Close Easily and Generally ut Net Losses.
 New York, April 16.-The general de- mand for stocks to-day, prompted by last weeks important developments in the money market, proved on the whole moderate. Trading was active the first hour, but a large proportion of the 1 days total business was transacted in that time. Neither was there any i'm portant addition to the price advances after that time, and in the final hour they were generally lost. This disap- pointed the speculative element, which | had counted upon a decided revival of speculative activity with the definite ] breaking of the stringency in money. The moderate effect on the stock mar ket of this -hoped-for condition in the money market was the cause of widely-varied conjectures. The consid- erable advance of the latter part of last week was regarded as having discount ed the favorable change in the money situation to some degree, The fact that l AAOlLAOIl OD0SA NCi NilJ IAdElGL IhOllQei5 holiday to-day left open the question as to what effect would be produced both on the stock market and on money rates in London as the result of the forced withdrawals of gold from there for New York account. An unfavorable effect on the London market might have reflect effect here, in spite of | fIa to OF 1h gold supply secured, English newspa- per comment on the situation gave evil dence of some apprehension as to the results in London. Last weeks engage nlent of gold received additions to the amounts of $S100,O0O, including an en- gagement made on Saturday too late to be reported.
 l There was very active discussion in banking circles of the new plan of Unit ed States treasury measures to stimu- late gold imports. In stock exchange circles the fact that a new precedent | had been set in the matter caused an undercurrent of apprehension that con- ditions in the money market had been more serious than commonly supposed
  lished custom. The decision of the gov ernors of the stock exchange in keeping open the exchange on Good Friday, contrary to custom, had something of the same effect on sentiment. The show of strength in to-days mar ket was most noticeable in industrials and specialties, especially in those not of the first grade. The fixing of Thurs day for the dividend meeting on Anal- gamated Copper induced active specu- lation in that stock on the expected re- suit. Forced selling of Butterick Pub fishing company broke that stock thir- teen points, the decline being attribut- ed to fear of losses by the printers strike.
 Foreign exchange was strong, but call money worked easier during the day. The price of stocks, however, contin- ued to recede from the early rise, and closed easy and generally at net losses for the day.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,OSOOO0
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

and several producing mines at Hes

sideration is said to have beenSl, 900,

The effect of this purchase By the
Southern Pacific will undoubtedly be
the building of the Colorado & Ariz'
ona railroad from the south into this
section. This may not occur within
the next two years but that will be the
ultimate end, 1t is said that the
Colorado q Arizona can get a one pei

that way. A branch may be built VI
