COMMENT ON MARKET.

George l. Edmunds. Of Miller & Co
There was an absence Of demand for
stocks at the opening this morning, and
during the early part OF the first 4our.
Toward noon better feeling set in on
declaration of increased dividends by
some of the so-called junior VanderBilts.
which was taken 70 foreshadow a decla-
ration Of the regular dividend on New
York Central tomorrow. During most OF
the afternoon. the market was lifeless.
with here and there Ettle scattered SELL
ing on dearer call money. Gossip con-
tented itself with talk about the New
York Central dividend tomorrow, the
probabilities OF a cut in the dividend Of
Air Brake, liquidation in Distillers by a
prominent lower Broadway wire house.
&c. Railroad stocks are, from the stand
point Of Intrinsic value, on the bargain
counter
Benjamin Woodruff, Of Post & Flagg-
while chiefly a matter OF professional
trading, and having its ups and downs,
the trend OF the market was reactionary.
The principal influence was the continued
high rate for money, which ruled at L TO
Is per cent The continued drain Of funds
TO the interior and the necessity Of pre-
pairing for the heavy January disburse-
ments, as well as desire 10 retire clear
ing-house certificates as soon as possible
combine to keep the leading rate at high
figures Railroad earnings of late have
made such a poor showing that the meet
ing Of the New York Central directors to-
morrow, 10 act on the dividend, IS await
ed with much interest. The action Of the
stock and declaration to-day Of the usual
and full dividends by Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern makes il likely that
no change in the rate will occur at this
time"
G. Bowie Chipman, OF f r. Chapman
& Co.-'The first prices showed pressure
sufficient TO carry the decline below the
opening levels, and for the balance Of the
day the market experienced several quick
rallies, followed by rapid reactions. The
closing prices are but frsctionally
changed. most Of them being on the side
of losses. The largest losses were IN Dis
tlllers. Southern Railway preferred, and
New York Air Brake. the latter losing
nearly ten points on rumOrs that at 70
morrow's directors meeting the ? per
cent quarterly dividend would be passed
or materially reduced. Missouri Pacific
was irregular on similar rumors as to the
directors meeting on Thursday. The dec
laration OF not only the regular, but an
extra dividend by the Lake shore and
Michigan Southern and the Michigan Cen
tral caused a quick recovery in New York
Central in expectation that at to-morrow's s
meeting the New York Central dividend
win not be reduced Trading was furthe-

New York, Dec. 17.-There was little to
differentiate the irregularity Of to-dav's
stock market from that Of the last seven
or eight stock exchange sessions. except
that perhaps the market to-day was a
little more active.
During good part of the day prices
moved as they not infrequently do when
the market has become oversold. and
there was not little tentative buying of
stocks by spectators, who argued that
inasmuch as the market had steadily pur-
sued downward course for nearly a
week and half. an upward reaction was
considerable more than due.
There was in the early morning a mod
crate pressure to sell stocks. owing as
seemed TO the publication of a succinct
statement of the difficulties now con-
fronting the coal carrying railroads Of the
country through the operations Of the
Federal law. which practically commands
these railroads to dispose Of their coal
properties on or before May l, next
year.
Statute Is Scored.
Of all the impracticabIe and impossible
enactments ever made by our national
law making body the statute in question
Is easily the worst, and it lends color TO
the famous designation of law in general
made by Mr.. Bumble
The law does not directly command the
railroad companies TO sell their coal prop
critics. but it does so indirectly by pro-
hibiting them from transporting any ar
ticle 'or commodity other than timber
manufactured or produced by them. and
this means, of course. that these COM
panies must either dispose OF their min
Ing properties or utterly cease to carry
coal from the mines.
The impasse in which the companies
are placed IS manifest They cannot in
very many, and perhaps in all instances,
sell their mines. because there are mort
gage indentures which so cover both the
railroad and the mining interests Of the
corporation that the separation of the
two properties is impossible. The COM
panies cannot, on the other hand con-
test the constitutiOnality Of the statutes
since 10 do so would make them liable
TO enormous penalties incurred during
the progress Of the litigation
Reading shows Weakness.
Under this exposition no little weakness
developed in the Reading shares. and the
decline affected sympatheticaIly the en-
tire market Shortly afterward however.
the market rallied under the stimulus
OF the declaration of extra dividends by
the Lake Shore and Michigan Central
companies.
Particularly weak stocks were the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Southern Railway pre-
ferred shares and the declines here
taken with drive at the Northern Pa
cifc and Great Northern stocks in the
last hour gave 10 the whole market a
more depressed appearance than at any
time during the day.
Most of the loans to-day in the call
money market were made at Z per cent,
against yesterdays prevailing rate Of 10
per cent. and at one time in the afternoon
il per cent was paid. Sterling exchange
was decidedly firmer.

NASH MILLS CONSUMED
Flames Destroy Saw and Shin.
gle Mill at Shanaq0Iden.

Word was received in this city Wed
neSday of the complete destruction
of the Nash Lumber Co.'S saw and
shingle mill at Shanagolden Tuesday
evening about six o'clock. Just what
the full particulars are, and the total
amount OF the damages resulting, are
not known at this writing, but it is
generally agreed that the loss to the
company will not be heavy as the:plant
was well insured.
According to the news received
here, the fire broke out shortly after
the mill had closed for supper. 1t
originated in the shingle mill, and
before anything could be done the
flames had practically consumed the
above mentioned buildings. All eff
forts were then bent to save the other
mills and the lumber, and in this the
workmen were successful. combining

A. 8. BEVER PRESIDENT
Elected Under Suspension of
Rules of Lincoln Club tuesday
Niuht.

The meeting called at the court
house Tuesday evening, by the com.
mittee appointed at the April meeting
of the Lincoln Club, was held as sched.
uled. The meeting was fairly well
attended by representative repub-
llcans of this city, and was called tc
order by President Louis A. Bauman.
The report of the committee which
consisted of A. L. FoDtaine, Prof. Fl
S. YOuker and Atty. Charles Briere
was made by the chairman, Mr.. Fon.
taine, and in substance recommended
that the temporary organization of
the club be made permanent.
President Bauman at this time de-
cllned to serve in the capacity OF
president further. stating that while
he was ready for any work that might
be assigned him, that he had given a
great deal of time to the work of
organization and that be felt that be
could i'll afford to continue in an
official way. He therefore asked that
the committee amend it's report in
such manner as to allow him to re-
tire as president. This change was
made and the recommendation of the
committee was unanimously accepted.
Further the committee recon-
mended one change in the constitution
and bylaws which recommendation
was also unanimously accepted.
The name of A. b. BeYer, clerk of
the circuit court, was then presented
to the members as president of the
cluD. The name of Mr.. Bever was
heartily received. and the rules were
suspended and his unanimous election
declared.
A. B. Bever is too well known in
Wood County and the city of Grand
Rapids for introduction. For some
years he has served as clerk of the
circuit court, and has filled the po-
sition to the entire satisfaction of the
people of Wood county. and with
credit to himself He stands in the
forefront among the young republic
cans, and will brin to the presidency
of the Lincoln Club ripe knowledge
of politics, and tested administrative
ability. 1t is said that "Bert," as he
is best known, has not an enemy liz
Wood County" and judging from the
overwhelming majority rolled up for
him in the last county election, the
saying may be taken as literal
truth.

STORY OF DROWNING
Emil Lietzke Made Brav
StruQQIe For His Life.

The cOroner'S jury, sitting in the
case of Emil Lietzke, the young man
who was drowned below the Biron
dam Sunday May Goth, returned a
verdict of accidental drowning.
The story revealed by the dellbera-
tions OF the jury, is that Emil Lietzke
was one Of party OF seven who were
fishing from one of the piers near the
dam on the Sunday the accident oc-
cured. Some time in the afternoon
Lietzke lost his fishing pole, and to-
gether with another young man they
secured boat and went ont after the
same. Noticing that the boat was
rapidly drawn into the undertoW at
this place, Lietzke's companion re-
fused to 60 any further, and following
up his determination, he left the boat
at the pier. LietZke, was in some
what of reckless mood, and dared
the undertOw, with the result that
his boat became unmanagable, and
filling with water from the dam, was
soon capsized. At first he chung to
the side of the craft, but the heavy
fall of water wrenched it away from
him, and he was compelled to buffet
the current.
At first it appeared that he was
swimming nicely, and while he diSap-
peared on two occasions he rose again
with apparently a steady, strong
stroke, and his companions, who were
helpless to aid him, hoped that he
would come through all right. At
last he disappeared for good. and all
search for the body. up to the time it
was found Monday, was fruitfuless.
LietZKe, was a young man twenty
i've years of age, and for some time
past had been employed at the Grand
Rapids Foundry. His parents were
farmers and lived in Sigel about two
miles from Vesper.
The remains were taken to the J. r.
Raglan undertaking parlors Monday
where they were prepared for burial.
Tuesday morning they were taken to
the home of his parents in Sigel and
Tuesday afternoon the funeral service
was held from the German Lutheran
church 10 that town, Rev. GeisSelman
officiating.

Judge Webb, after listening TO the
evidence in the case of Mary Ram
thum VS.. Herman Ramthum, granted
the plaintiff divorce with the
custody of the children. The contest
practically in this case, was over the
division of the property, the defen-
dant desiring a larger portion. The
judge took the other view of the case,
however, and allowed the title to the
property to remain as it was. Wiper
man & Hambrecht were the attorneys
