FRESH ALARM ON MARKET
Another Disorderly Break in
Prices of Stocks.

New York. Aug. 10.-There was an
other disorderly break In prices Of
stocks with the beginning of trading
at the stock exchange which carried
some stocks down to lower prices
than were touched during the week.
Speculative sentiment took fresh
alarm at the tone of the statement by
Attorney General Bonaparte after his
interview with the president in which
the aggressive determination Of the
administration to push the pursuit OF
corporations along various lines was
asserted. Holders of securities threw
them on the market In large blocks.
Resulting declines reached 3k for
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific 3k,
Third Avenue 5A, Western Maryland,
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste
Marie preferred and Reading 3, South
srn Pacific 3h and other stocks from
1 to 2A. The market made temper
airy stand against the pressure, but
after small rallies plunged downward
again. New York Central sold at
$106h, the lowest point since 1898.
Prices continued to decline with an
occasional arrest when there was a
temporary subsistence of selling. No
effective support appeared, however,
and the lowest prices were touched
near the close. Many rumors circu-
lated of money trouble in London or
at Berlin and of a dptarm ina tiOn nv

port and let the market take care of
itself

Copen hagen.

Says the Politiken Copenhagen:
"One of the woman members of the
Finnish diet met with a Iaughable mis-
hap while attending sitting of the
legal committee. Bored by the pro-
ceedings she bestrode her chair, and
rocked to and fro with her feet clear
from the ground, suddenly Overbal-
anced herself and fell backward. Her
brown boots alone appeared above
the chair, with which she battled for
some moments as she lay on the floor.
The equality Of the sexes is coming
to be looked upon so much as mat
ter of course in Finland that the male
members of the committee, not con-
cealing their appreciation of the
humor of the situation, are reported
to have been ungallant enough to re-
frain from expressing their regret for
the mishap."
According to reports from Stock

ton of a new fortress somewhere in
the Finnish bay, possibly between
Hango and Ekenas. Here the Rus
slams will build a new fortress after

Against the Associated Press.
The strike against the Associated
Press began at $3.50 O'Clock Eastern

from the other strikes, as the Asso-
ciated Press controls its own leased
wires and the operators are In the d.
rect employ Of the news organization.
Though no demands had been made
recently by the men, the strike had
been foreshadowed.
In the New York Office the walkout
was not attended with any demon
stration The men at the keys left
their work and quietly withdrew.
The suspension of the service was
not complete, as sufficient force re-
manned to send a partial service In all
directions. The same conditions pre-
vailed at all the Offices except those
In New England, which were not at
fected. In Philadelphia, Baltimore,

date points sufficient force re-
NAMED to permit the main body OF
news to move.

Haunted House Is Sold.

Chicago by the grewsome memories of wife murder, the home of Adolph Luetgert, scene of one of the greatest murder mysteries of Chi. cago, has been sold.
 The building, which formerly stood at POT Hermitage avenue, in rear of the factory where Luetgert is said to have disposed of the remains of his wife in the sausage making vats has been moved to Diversey Boule- yard, near Paulina street, by August Blain, its purchaser. A new coat of paint and thorough renovation is believed to have so changed it that not even the ghost of Mrs. Luetgert, which once was said to haunt it, will know it again.
 For years after the murder the house was vacant, and when tenants appeared they remained only a short time. Even after Luetgert died at Joliet penitentiary no one could be found who wanted to live in the house. The factory itself was partly destroyed by fire. It is now used as a woodworking plant.

ON A MACKEREL SCHOONER.
Daily Routine in the Life of the GIou.
 cester Fishermen.

The routine life on mackerel schooner is not strenuous. The crew consists of 14 men, a skipper and cook Two men constitute watch, one aloft as lookout, the other at the wheel, so that each man has two hours on duty, and then 12 hours off, before his turn comes around again. During this period he may be called on to shorten sail, wash the deck or to perform other work. Half of the crew have their hunks forward with the cook, who is king of the forecas- tie, and the rest sleep aft with the captain. We were assigned to a double bunk aft, where we were not troubled with galley smells, but had to be on our good behavior. All the rolics and revels were forward. The crew ate in two shifts, the older men with the skipper--Travel Magazine.

He was very serious-indeed, the more seri- ous competitor appeared the mer- rier grew the audience.

Frtnch Surgeon Exhibits Subject of
 Remarkable Operation.

Paris, France.-Ip consequence of the bursting of gun while cut shoot ing, man had his chin, the lower part of his jaw, a portion of his tongue and the whole of his upper Jaw and nose blown away. Dr. Delaire of the French Academy of Medicine, has replaced the missing organs by artificial parts and his work, which Is considered a marvel of mechanical ingenuity, has been exhibited before the academy.

Every day ha takes off his artificial face and washes it with soap and wa ter. This face consists of four parts, The first is a silver groove, into which some of the lower teeth are fixed. This is attached to dental apparatus of tin, into which are fixed the remain. ing teeth. The second piece consists dental apparatus in vulcanite and gold for the upper nine teeth. This Is fitted in two small protuberances, which fit into the nasal cavities. This also fills up the right sinus, which was smashed in. At the back is a piece of gold mechanism with hooks, used to fasten on the face pieces. The third piece of the mechanical face consists Of the chin and lower lip. This is of india rubber, painted to re- semble nature
 Over the chin false beard is fixed. At the back are a couple of small bolts, which pass through holes of of the teeth and fix the lip to the ar tif1cial lower jaw. The fourth and last piece of the apparatus consists of the upper lip and goose, also in india rubber, and painted, to which is attached false mustache At the back are two small clasps, to which the upper piece and jaw are fixed.

An exception to this decision was immediately taken and on appeal the higher court reversed the verdict and ordered new trial on the ground that the question should have been answered.
