NEWS OF SCRANTON. Strike breakers Have Returned From

NOIneS Ga
 Scranton, Miss. Dec. 2.-(SpeciaI.)- R. L. Head. Winford Thomas. Harry Orchard, A. c. Scott. Charles Ladnier and Gus Swan, all employees of the Pascogoula Street Railway Company, in this city, who left here some four weeks ago for Rome, Ga, where they went to assist in breaking a strike on the electric car line operated by the Rome Light and Power Company, re- turned home last night safe and well.
 They say their mission was success ful, and they were we'll treated in that city.
 The Bienville Saloon. operated by B. D. Valverde. closed it's doors at II o'clock tonight, the license expiring at that time.
 This leaves two saloons in the city and they will do business until mid nigh of Dec. 31. when all saloons in the State will close their doors.
 Just what the new condition will mean to this section is one that time alone can solve. The concensus of that if the law is strictly enforced and the various places where whiskey is now sold are made dry in fact as well as by law, that better and more pros porous times will follow.

THE SHOCK MARKET

New York. Dee. 2--The violent speculative movement in the Rock Island securities which broke out yes- terday. continued into the early deal ings today.
 There was c notable subsistence of the excitement when the authorized statements were made of the financial operations about which the specula- tion centered followed by violent break in the prices at the end of the day.
 The comparison of these official statements with the rumors which had preceded them disclosed so much of rumors that there was a disposition to hesitate about following a leadership in the market founded on such mo- lives. The tone of the market there upon fell into unsettlement and there was a notable contraction in the deal ings.
 Assertions were published over night that St. Louis and San Francisco bonds had been sold to an amount of $45,,, maturing obligations of the company falling due. this year and next and to furnish resources besides for exten- sive projects in contemplation. These reports pointed to the banking house which usually acts for the Hartman interest as the source of this financial assistance and the inference was broadly conveyed that association for mutuai aQVdntak6 Deln8 the FtdTElAlhn and Rock Island systems was to be as- sumed as a consequence. Such specu- lative enthusiasm after rushing Into the market during the first hour, was somewhat dampened by the formal statement of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, the Union Pacific bankers. that they had withdrawn from the St. Louis and San Francisco financing which had been taken over by Speyer and Conn pany. who have acted in Rock Island fina m nrAvtnt4m ncra siOns
 Rumors were also circulated Of project for the formation of a holding company to bring the various Gould properties into closer relations. These @ authoritative sources. The statements of October earnings of the Hartman Pacifics were relied upon to give fresh stimulation to the market. but response.
 The comparisons with the corres- bonding month of last year in these statements were. in fact, less favor- tember statements. A contributory cause to the later reactionary ten dency with the continuance of stirter rates on the call money market.
 The engagement of gold for export was an influence on this; the $5o0.ooO to be forwarded to Paris tomorrow be- ing already assured of q supplement in later movement.
 The rate at which new pondS are coming on the market and the evidence of this in today's news is calculated to make an impression in the money market with the rate of absorption Of available capital thus indicated.
 The time money market was affect ed to some extent and the tone was called firner.
 Reports of a decided Hull in the iron and steel trade had an effect in keep ing United States steel heavy. This and the disappointment over the nom effect of the Hartman earnings state ments in reviving demand decided the late tendency of the market down. wards.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

NEGRO SCHOOL BURNS
Had Been a Fractional Fight Among
 Blacks in MarengO.

Linden. Dec. 2.-(speciaL)-News has reached here of the burning of the ne- gro academy at Thomaston, in this County The building was a splendid two-story structure and was worth about $3.000.
 It is reported that recently there had been considerable disagreement among the negroes in that locality over mat ters re.ative to the management of the school. One faction took hold of the institution and was operating it in a way thought to be satisfactory to all when 1t was burned.
 The loss will fall heavily upon the self sacrificing negroes of that sec tlon who have labored hard for the upbuiiding of all institutions that make for the best interests of their race. The negroes have the sympathy of the white people of the entire Coun- ty in their great loss.

Renew ed buying by leading bulls was again the feature in the wheat market, de. mand, which at times caused slight recessions in prices.

Efforts to day by the report of local crop ex- pert, which claimed that the condition of the fall sown crop of wheat in this ever recorded being 7s.s against 90 8 year ago.

 The close was strong with December 1.0s IA to 3-Sc.
 Corn was weak owing to renewed liquidation of the December delivery. A decline of 1-4 to 1-2c in the price of the cash grain was a weakening in- fuence. Distant deliveries displayed relatively more firmness than the cur rent month owing to light offerings from the country. The market closed weak at the lowest point of the. day, hnal quotations on December being 61c and May 6s 5-Sc. Oats were weak ened to some extent by further liqul- aation of the December option but an improved demand for oats tended to check the decline. Prices at the sam pie tables were up 1-2c. Elevator in terests were the chief buyers of the cash grain. The market closed easy with prices . shade higher to 1-s to l-tc lower. final quotations on Decem- Der being 4s 3-s to l-2c and May 51 Ia.
