Tit s. P. DIVIDEND
HELD UP FOR A WEEK
There Ensued a Slight Decline From
the Fancy Price of That Stock.

New York, July 25.-Speculative
operations fell into allegiance today
with the announcement that the
Southern Pacific directors adjourned
for week without taking formal ac-
ton on the dividend. As a matter OF
fact il was allowed to be understood
that the executive committee of the
directors decided to recommend a
quarterly dividend of IL per cent
thus raising the rate of disbursement
from five to six per cent.
Southern Pacific went to 91S today
on an extension of yesterdays move
ment but the amount of sales TO real
iZe at the other level became so por-
tentous as to discourage further at
tempts at an advance. Last year
when the announcement was publish
ed that the stock had been placed on
a five per cent dividend basis it sold
ut SO and in the weeks following up
to 97i5. the record figure. Since that
time it sold at 644. Southern Pa
cific dominated the days market and
when it reacted from the early ad-
vance the rise in Reading was inef-
fective to hold the market.
4 fresh decline in the price of cop
per in London hurt metal stocks. Har-
riman stocks both closed today with
small net declines. The market did
not shake off the heaviness which de-
Veloped after the adjournment of the
Southern Pacific directors.

FORD ESCAPES
FROM JACKET
Escape From the Straight Jacket
Brings Forth Thunders of
Applause.

Never in the history of the city of
Clarksburg has such an immense
crowd been attracted to a theatre as
the one drawn to the new Weiland
last night to see Don Ford attempt
to escape from an insane straight
jacket. Long before time for the
performance the crowd began to as
sembIe and in a short time the
street was black with people with
one intent and purpose, to get in
side. On the inside every available
inch of space soon filed and the
crowd was packed in like sardines
and on the stage one could scarcely
move.
Lew Carr. the challenger. with
committee of police, physicians aud
others were seated upon the stage.
After a short announcement Ford
signified his readiness and remov-
ing his coat Carr went to work. The
jacket is a heavy canvas coat, laced
down the back with heavy ropes, a
belt placed around the waist, the
arms crossed and tied together in
back to the belt and lacing. Carr
pulled and tugged to make the fas-
Jennings secure enough to hold almost
anyone and many in the audience
objected to the methods which were
certainly not those used upon insane
patients. When the job was finish
ed Ford was fastened so securely
that no one in the big crowd expect
ed to see him escape.
At nod to Officer McCloud, who
was timekeeper, Ford went to work.
By series of gyrations and muscu-
lar movements he gradually worked
the arms up the back until by dis
locating his shoulders the arms
came flying over the head. With his
teeth he undid the knots binding the
hands together.
Working like trojan, the veins
sticking out on his face and neck, he

NOTED HORSE TRADER
in the City With Several
Nags and is Surveying
the Bones.

Fred Patton. of Fairmont, who is
known as Tish, the greatest horse
trader this side of the Mississippi
river, arrived last night with a num-
ber of nags, and is busily engaged to-
day showing the good points of his
horses and taking a survey of the
bones others have brought in for ex-
hibition and barter. Patton de-
clares that he ought to get some
good horses on this trip and he
stopped at the big elm tree as he
came along, but not to get any in
spiration that would lead him to the
daring deeds of some of the charac-
ters in Gran Halls book to obtain
such horses as he seeks. Tish is
famous all through this section and
he is jolly good fellow. He likes
a bargain in horse trade as well
as any one, but he is not going to
do any thing mean to get the better
