Wall street.

New York, May .--EXplanation of
the further rise in prices of stocks to-
day was directed to the play of gen
eral causes. rather than to any i'm
mediate new developments or to any
thing especially affecting the indivd-
ual stocks which were strongest. The
Hartman Pacifics and Reading were
brought forward once more into the
foremost rank of the movement, and
their activity and strength had usual
powerful effect on speculative Senti-
ment on the whole list The princi-
pal fact regarding Union Pacific is
the well known imminence of the
bond issue of $25,OO0,0O0 to $50,
100000.
Many rumors were circulated today
Of the amount of these bonds to be
Offered and the price to be realized,
One was that $35,000,000 of the bonds
had already been disposed of to for
eign buyers. Another was that terms
of underwriting were in dispute be-
tween the railroad officials and bank
ers, Meantime Union Pacific forged
aggressvely upward with scarcely a
pause, at the round figure of l40.
A marked feature of the market
was the light supply of stocks offer
ing to any stage of the advance, a
readjustmcnt of the price level to
conform to the emergency of affairs
from the profound depression and
distrust Of the panic period is avoW-
eddy one Of the main purposes of the
persistent marking up of stocks in the
present movement. A similar pro
cess made it plainly manifest in the
bond division today, where some low
ca grade and contingent interest
bonds were revived suddenly from a
dormant condition into one of con-
siderable animation Comparatively
small amounts of these bonds had to
be taken by advancing bids while
the higher prices thus reached eStab-
lished quotations for these securities
accepted by bankers and money lend
ers as a basis on which to figure thelr
security as collateral in loans.
The forecast of the weekly cur
rcncy movement gave promise of an
other large addition to bank cash, eS-

for Several Hours.

AS is usual on Sunday the cars of the

was scarcely standing room on any OF
the cars during the middle of the day
and much complaint was heard of the
erowding of the cars and the service
as well as the running time Most OF
the cars took nearly an hour for the
trip between Gary and Hammond and
the jaunt was diverted from one OF
Pleasure into. most irksome ride
There is scarcely a trip but what an
accident happens to one of the cars and
business men are turning the line down
as unreliable. Several of the trains
have been taken Off in the past few DAYS
without notification and the patrons
greatly inconvenienced thereby. Most
of the time consumed. is. between, Har-
Dor Junction and Hammond. Last night
one Of the cars ran off the switch at
Gary and was delayed for several hours.
The car was due in Gary at 6.36 The
service on the South Bend division is
said to be much more satisfactory.

Shocking Misfortune Befalls
Sam Schunk and Doc
tors See No Hope.
CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR ATTACK
Thinks Perhaps Gasolene Stove Ex-

Blindness.
CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR ATTACK

Sam Schunk, one of the well known
citizens of Gary and restaurant keep
er there. became suddenly blind last
Friday and the doctors who have ex-
amined his cose say there is no nope for
his recovery.
Mr.. Schunk is the proprietor of a res
taurant at the corner of Fifteenth ave-
nue. and Washington street. and is one
of the pioneers of Gary. where he has
lived for year and ralf
Friday Schunk got off a street car at
the corner of Fifteenth street and
Broadway and was walking towards his
home when he suddenly became blind.
Can't Account For 1t.
He could not account for his mis-
fortune and has been in the world of
total darkness ever since. He has had
several doctors examine his eyes and
they say there is no hope for him.
Home time ago there was an expio-
sion of a gasoline stove in his restau-
rant in which he suffered several
burns about the face and that Is the
only thing he could possibly attribute
his blindness
Mr.. Schunk has employed several
physicians and the expense of their
hire together with other misfortunes he
has had. made 1t necessary for him to
sell out his restaurant at a sacrifice.
He is now without funds with which to
provide himself with a living, and with
his terrible handicap he is casting about
for something to do.
He says that he may sell papers like
blind George over in Hammond and
may also act as an interpreter at the
police station as he can speak several
languages.
