NO POWER in
STOCK MARKET
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-There was
hardly enough motive power in the
stock market today to cause any
definite current in the price move
ment. Only about half dozen OF
the stocks were traded in to the ex-
tent of more than a few hundred
shares. The contending parties
in the room traders made varying
fluctuations in these few stocks. AS
for any outside interest in the mar
ket, either in the way of speculative
ventures or of investment demand
or of marketing of holdings, the sit
uation was one of profound neglect.
Bonds were heavy and dull.

Returns FROM
BATTLE MOUNTAIN
j. J. TRIMBLE BRINGS GOOD
REPORTS FROM THAT
DISTRICT.

j. ]. Trimble returned to Tonopah
on Sunday after a lengthy absence,
during which he spent considerable
time at the Pedro mine in Battle
Mountain. He was also in Reno,
Carson and San Francisco. He says
that the Pedro mine is surprising
the greatest expectations, and that it
is a property which is bound to be
heard from in the near future.
I'm the tunnel said Mr. Trimble,
they have drifted on the vein for a
distance of fifty-five feet, and every
car that is taken out carries good
ore. A shaft has been sunk thirty
four feet above the tunnel, and just
before leaving, l sampled the shaft
for fifteen feet from the bottom, on
both sides, and I got an average of
$1720. Sixty-ive feet above this
shaft is a ten-foot hole from which

GOT THOUSANDS
FROM A WOMAN

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24.-Henry
Wilson, an Englishman, aged 80, who
came from San Francisco two years
ago, was arrested in Oakland today
by request of the sheriff on a war;
rant sworn to yesterday by Mrs. S. A.
Floyd, a white-haired widow of so
of this city, who charges him with
obtaining $540O from her under
false pretenses. It is also alleged
that he secured 100000 from San
Bernardino parties and that he went
from here to Oakland on a $4,000
deal.
Wilson, Mrs Floyd says, represent
ed that he had secured control of the
San Jose group of mines, Sonora
Mexico. He said he had arranged to
sell the property to New York cap
italists at a good profit, but he had
to make payment of $4,000 before
he could secure title. Mrs. Floyd
advanced the cash. and he gave her
an eighth share in the mines. with
the impression tat she would quickly
get profit of $25. 900. The widow
put up the money eighteen months
ago and being unable to get a settle
ment. now starts criminal action.
Under Sheriff Dishman left tonight
to bring Wilson here.

A Farewell Gathering.

The Methodist Episcopal parsonage
was the scene of an unusual demon
stration on Wednesday evening, when
nearly 200 persons assembled for the
purpose of saying farewell to the
retiring pastor OF the church, Rev. II.
NJ. Rider, and his family. Every de-
nomination in town was represented.
George R. Gehr made the opening ad-
dress on behalf of the company, and
he was followed by Harry P. Gorsuch,
who said he regretted Mr.. Riders de-
parture not only because of his many
admirable qualities, but because ne
felt himself weakening on the matrl-
monial question, and might need the
services of minister before the close
of leap year. A. H. Huber told how
the pastor and his wife had won their
way into the affections of the people
Of our city, by their cordiality, their
hospitality, and their interest and
participation in everything that tend
ed to the prosperity of our city and
the betterment Of mankind in general
Mr.. Rider was deeply touched by
these evidences OF good will, and spoke
feeling1y of the great regret on the
part Of his wife and himself at the
sundering of r'ch pleasant assoc1a-
tons. He sa1r51Aa citizens of Wlst-
minister would always occupy warm
spot in his heart.
Refreshments were served, and the
party dispersed about 1890.
Their household goods were shipped
to Baltimore on Wednesday. Mr.. Rid
er followed On Thursday, and Mrs
Rider and Ted leave today.

Few Easter Novelties.

Easter this year presents little that
is novel in the stores, excepting in
decorations for eggs and a few new
toys that are not at all remarkable.
The fluffy rabbits, fuzzy ducks and
downy chicks of all sizes are favorite
and always pretty tokens of the day.
Eggs containing rabbit-dreSsed dolls
are plentiful and share in interest with
dolls dressed in white to represent
fairies and angels.
Postal cards have sold in greater
numbers this year and in greater va
riety than ever before. For nearly a
month there has been steady sale of
Easter cards and postals that has kept
the clerks busy and the mails will be
increased in large volume carrying the
extra cards of the season. A pretty
card that was novelty a few years
ago and then dropped out of sight, has
been revived and is one of the prettiest
shown. Little black cats, drawn in
ink, on a fence or roof or table or
most any place where one could ex-
pect to find a cat, and each with a
clever verse, have been mounted on
red mats or prepared as postal cards.
The special attraction of these ingen-
iously designed cards is the bodies of
the cats, each of which is formed out
Of pussy willow catkin, tied in the
middle with a colored thread to sepa-
rate head and body and then glued
into place.

Frank W.Mather entertained number
of his friends at his home on Liberty
street at a stag dinner in celebration
of his birthday anniversary. After the
dinner, which was served in courses,
and consisted of numerous delicacies
of the season, the guests repaired to
the parlor, where social conversation
was being engaged in, when the pleas
ant reveries were shamefully shatter-
ed by bevy of the fair sex putting in
their appearance and taking the house
by storm, surprising not only the
guests but the host as we'll, he not
even being let into the secret. The
evening was one of rare pleasure, and
the congratulations and best wishes
for the host we're whole hearted.
Those who helped celebrate the oc-
casion were Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Math-
er. Mr.. and Mrs. George K Mather,
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Cover, Mr.. and
Mrs. Carroll Albaugh; Misses Bessie
Herr, Bessie Roberts, Helen Arma-

colorings creating beautiful picture.
Babylon & Lippy produce pleasing
effects by draperies of embroiderles
for peek-a-boo waists and other warm
weather apparel.
Cassell has arranged an attractive
display of silverware that will surely
appeal to the feminine mind-and the
pocketbook.
Mems apparel is too sedate and col
orless for purposes of decoration, but
Sharrer & Gorsuch have quite an at
tractive exhibition of fancy ties, col
ored shirts, hosiery, &c.

eve and touch the pocket.

By Auto-Bus to Gettysburg.

Representatives of a large automo-
bile manufacturing concern, with
branch offices in Baltimore, were in
Westminster this week looking into
the project of running tourist car
between this city and Gettysburg.
These cars are being placed on routes
in this and other states where there
is reason to believe the patronage will
Justify it. The gentlemen referred to
came up from Baltimore in an auto,
went from here to Gettysburg by way
of Taneytown and came back by way
of Littlestown. They made the trip
each way in about two hours, and
they estimated that a car carrying
eight or ten passengers could go the
distance in two hours and half, or
five hours for the round trip. Their
idea is to make two trips day at
81. so for the round trip. They inquIr-
ed as to the number OF visitors we
usually have during the summer and
what diversion is afforded them. The
gentlemen did not give their names,
and it is not known what their con-
clusion were.

Alcohol i'm Patent Medicines.

Mrs. Clark, state superintendent of
the medical department of the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union, en-
tertained a large audience in Carroll
Hall Friday afternoon with a demon
stration of the quantity of alcohol con-
tanned in certain patent medicines.
She was equipped with a small alcohol
stove, in which was placed granite
ware vessel about two inches deep and
six or eight inches in diameter. Into
this vessel was poured a portion OF
the contents of a bottle. This was
heated until the fumes began to arise
to which a lighted match was applied.
In most cases but little liquid remain
ed after the alcohol had all burned
away. In one or two instances the
preponderance of alcohol was so great
that lighted match was not required,
the fumes taking fire from the heat
of the stove. After the alcohol had
been burned away from jamaica girig-
er, there was nothing at all left in the
pan.
Mrs. Clark stated that the national
pure food law had caused a great re-
duction in the quantity of alcohol used
in all these medicines, the amount at
the present time being very much less
than formerly used, although it is still
the principal ingredient in most of
them. The demonstration lasted about
two hours and was very interesting.
Mrs. Clark also visited Finksburg and
Union Bridge. She makes no charge
for her services. Her fare, of course,
is paid, and she is entertained in the
different towns by members of the
local w. C. T. u.
