TOM FITCH LEARNED
FROM SENATOR JONES
49,. **a.* = !

Senator John =. Jones likes to tell
n characteristic story of Tom Fitch,
a reckless companion of his earlier
years, who came to him one day to
borrow money and INDUCED in few
personalities. Said he:
Zones, don't understand It,"
Don't understand what"
81 don't understand the laws of
fate. When | first knew you, forty
years ago, you were a poor. strug-
Cling tenderfoot, without a dollar or
a friend and | was rich and inilucn-
tial. Now you are rich and inlluen-
tial, and have neither money nor
friends"
"The reason for that Is perfectly
clear to me-" said Jones. The trou-
BILE with you, Tom, is that an inscru-
table Providence created you without
the power to distinguish between
right and wrong, and you are n

The unclnny manifestations alleg-

debated question: Are there really

came so great that the houses We're

The young servant girl in each
case was suspected of causing some
of the manifestations, unjustly it

Reports Regarding Erie Stock Cause
Selling Movement In the Market,
But This Is Lost In Stronger
Tone Which Followed.

New York, April 2.-There was little
disposition to venture into stock opera
tons while the uncertainty continued over
the settlement to DE effected of the Erie's
financial difficulties. 1t was known be-
fore the market opened that the meeting
of the Erie directors was set for o'clock
and a postponement was announced dur
ing the session. This prospect of another
stock exchange stock session passed with
out explicit information being forthcom
ing on the vexed problem of the Erie was
the cause of the almost total suppression
of market activity during the greater part
of the day. There was however, a slow
recovery from the depression of the early
part of the day, and some revival of ami
nation as the recovery progressed. The
recovery was largely influenced by rumors
that favorable developments were forth
coming in the Erie matter There is an
apprehension that the holders of the pres
en-. unsecured notes of the company, and
which mature on April 8, might deal with
the situation in different mood were
they in possession of the notes intended
to be offered in exchange, and secured oy
collateral The financial public is i'm
favorably impressed also by the signs Of
disagreement between important interests
in the company with widely ramified rep
resentation throughout the railroad world.
The occasional show of strength in to-
days market was viewed with some dis
trust as being caused by possible sup
porting operations to safeguard the mar
ket against effects of some unfavorable
development.
A further decline in prices of copper at
the New York metal exchange and re-
ports of accommodating stocks of that
metal had to be contended with by those
seeking to support stocks. The tenor of
the representative views in the iron and
steel trades was not encouraging to the
contention that revived activity was be-
ing sustained in those basic industries
There were several additional returns OF
railroad earnings for February, and the
average showing was not conducive to
confidence that net earnings were beng
materially conserved by such economies
as had been found then practicable The
average decrease in net earnings for Feb
ruary from Il railroads already reporting
is found to be 1884 per cent, compared
with February of last year, which shows

of declines. The cessation of soft coal
mining is not favorable to an advance in
stocks although tine feeling persists that
the opportunity TO work off stocks OF coal
will further the chances for resumption 10
