noon, demoralizing the entire market,

selling at 800 week ago, sold at 465
last Saturday and opened yesterday at

420. The stock has not sold this low in
eight years.
The break demoralized hundreds of
small stockholders, who Immediately
sent their shares to Wall street for
liquidation. Late in the afternoon 425
was the hest bid for STANDARD Oil. This
represents decline Of s75,OOO,000 in the
market value OF the stock in the last

just about the time the strike of the
Western Union telegraph operators was
announced, liquidation was already in
full swing, but the telegraph strike made
it more severe, as many persons are
afraid 70 keep stocks over night. The
result was a perfect Niagara OF stocks

The market collapsed in all directions
at once. At this critical moment the
price OF copper metal was cut ~ cent

sent the price Of Amalgamated down

broke to 431a, the lowest it has sold
for three years.

PERMANENT CONQUEST
Of Moors Observation-Disclosures to Reaf-
firm Solidarity Of Actions With
Spain--May Disregard Alge-

Paris, Aug. 49, While it Is officially
declared that the French government viii
not extend the scope Of its action in
Morocco beyond what was communicated
to the powers, namely TO restore order
and organize the international police,
1t may be significant of possible
change in the attitude of France that
she has declined to agree to the invi-
tation of Spain to send new joint note
to the powers, reaftirming the solidarity
of the views and actions of the two gov,
ernments, which matter is now the sub
lect of diplomatic exchanges of views.
The section of the press which is con.
WINGED that France must assume the
task OF putting an end 10 the existing
anarchy in Morocco, believes that to res.
tablish permanent order in Morocco. that
country must be conquered as Algeria
was, and that in order to accomplish
this the hands of France must be freed
from the restrictions OF the Algeciras
convention.
OF course, the natural sequel to the
conquest, the absorption of Morocco, is
not concealed. How otherwise can
Frances bill be paid, the powers ask.

[originaL1


Joseph Banncr and Thomas Elrod
were friends. Elrod was an educated
man who never secured more than a
competence. Bannon was a self made
man, manufacturer, and got rich.
Elrod's son Henry, as boy, had a
mechanical shop in his fathers cellar
and showed considerable aptitude for
mathematics and mechanics. When
his father died, leaving him nothing,
Henry persuaded Mr. Bannon to give
him subordinate position in his
works Bannon, who considered both
the boy and his father impracticable.
took Henry into his service under pro-
test, remarking that the boy would
never get beyond the bottom round Of
the ladder. Henry did well enough
till his employer caught him making
love to his daughter, Mary Bannon,
whereupon Mrs Bannon discharged
him.
The morning Henry stepped out of
the Office building at the factory to
hunt another job he saw group Of
men, foremost among whom was Ban
non, looking up at the great smoke
stack. Joining them and inquiring
what was the matter, he was informed
that the stack was leaning to one side.
Indeed, an engineer had just deter
mined that at the top 1t was forty-aye

all appearances scanfolding must be

be taken down and another built in its
place. Indeed, it would be fortunate
If the chimney did not fall on the fac

!, them, with much valuable machinery.
Bannon was very much troubled. His
engineer told him there was no way
by which the stack could be straight
ened, and before leaving the spot he
gave orders for the erection of the
scaffolding and the subsequent taking
down of the chimney.
b Elrod went away, trying to concen-
trate his mind upon getting another
position. But the chimney, or, rather,
some method Of Strengthening 1t, had
got into his head, and he could not
get 1t out. He thought all day and
toward evening took pencil and pa
per and began to figure. At midnight
he went to bed. but could not sleep, So
getting up, he went over his figures
to see that they were correct

Bannon's eyes were fixed on the
speaker during this statement with
growing interest. He had forgotten the

He continued to stare for a few mo-
ments after Henry had finished, then
asked;

It seemed as If 400 tons had been

RUINED STREETS AND HOUSES

Aggressive Strikers cowed by a Strong
Force Of Troops.

Belfast, Ireland, Aug Ia The wreck
ed condition Of the streets and houses
in the Falls and Grosvenor districts OF
this city testify to the severity Of the
rioting Sunday night.
Hardly a window or street lamp
remains intact, while doors have been
smashed in by the heavy stones hurled
by the strikers at the advancing cavalry
and the street paving is torn up on all
sides, having furnished the rioters with
missiles. There were no fatalities, but
more than sixty persons, about equally
divided among the troops and the riot
ers, are being treated in the hospitals
for severe injuries.
The strikers are still in a very ag.
gessive mood. Only the strong forces
Of troops on duty prevent them from
attacking the men who are at work.
