NEW YORK, December 1.-The highly
irregular tendencies which have prevailed
recently in the stock market were no less
pronounced today than they have been of
late. Today's transactions were marked
by number of extensive but, as rule.

number of directions genuine liquidation
could be detected The days actual news
was limited to such routine circumstances
dividend announcements and the pub
lication of statements of earnings. the

of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
companies for the month Of October
Not little comment was excited by
the various official statements which were
forthcoming today with regard to the
financing of the affairs of the St. Louis
and San Francisco property. The ST.
Louis and San Francisco issues, together
with those of the Rock Island company,
were again very conspicuous in today 8
dealings. and all scored noteworthy max

were noted in Illinois Central, Chicago

The local Traction shares failed to dis
play the animation recently exhibited by
that group.
The industrial and miscellaneous stocks
were for the most part heavy. that de-

American Smelling. Strong features of
that group were American Can preferred

since Saturday of last week.

A good deal of attention was attracted
to the further rise in wheat, particularly
as one Of the so-called experts upon the
condition of that staple issued a report
today setting forth that the condition OF
the winter wheat crop as of December 1
showed the lowest percentage of any date
on record for that period. According to
his estimates the area planted was only
2I,OOO,0OO acres, or 4,0OOOOO acres less
than last years figures.

Criminal Libel Suit.

A suit has been filed by John B.
Wickliffe, who was one of the un-
successful candidates for Common
wealth's Attorney, against the Bal
lard County News, published at Ban
dana by Robt. Hille, young man
who for few months last winter was
reporter on the Mayfield Daily Moni-
tor.
Pertaining to the suit the Ballard
Yoeman, published at Wickliffe,
says;
''Hille, the fellow who had so
much to say during the campaign, is
now looking around for soft place
to light. He has been arrested and
put under a $500 bond and will ap-
pear here shortly to the charge cf
criminal libel. He looks very light
ly upon the charge but We venture
he will know more about the libel
laws of the State when he has finish
ed with the case. The burden Of
proof, as we understand the law,
rests with the accused. He must
either put somebody else behind the
bars or 60 there himself. The young
man has finally accomplished some
thing to say the least of it-gotten
before the public"
Mr.. Wickliffe is we'll known TO
many of our readers.

Came From tennessee.

During the Grand Jury's investi
gation of the night rider troubles
last week, 1t leaked from tine court
room. in Union City, that one of the
four Witnesses during the morning
session gave evidence which connects
the gang that murdered the negro
family near Hickman, KY, with the
one that murdered Capt. Rankin.
The evidence is so convincing, il
is claimed, that the assembling
places we're given for the various
raids. On the night of the Hick-
man raid the meeting point was in
the depths of Buck Esque woods and
from there the band rode forth on its
errand of murder.
The witness said: "On the night
of the Walnutlog raid, one section
of the night ri ders also met 10 these
woods and then rode to Long
Bridge where it joined forces with
the other gang from the Spout
Springs section, whose garthering
has been described in the confession
of Frank Ferringer. From there they
went TO Ward hotel"
The evidence is of special impor-
tance, as it joins in with that Of Fer
ringer and will be used against those
from the section where the night
riders are alleged to have flourished f.
and with which he is so unfamiliar.
II also developed during the testi-
mony that John McBird. the young
man who disappeared during the
raid on the negroes near Hickman
has never called for his clothes at the
place where he had been living and
has disappeared from the neighbor-
hood. The state has so far been
unable to discover any trace of his
whereabouts. which gives additional
weight to the theory that he was
killed.
These facts substantiate what the
Courier claimed at the very first
that the riders who shot the Walker
family came from Tennessee-but
was questioned by some.
When Gov. Patterson spoke al
Union City. Thursday, several Of
our leading citizens went ever for
the purpose OF conferring with the
governor on this subject. and are
said to have offered. at the proper
time, to give some valuable infor-
nation.

Stranger Found Dead.

Reinh Grave, aged about so years.
was found dead at the fair grounds
near Mayfeld, Friday forenoon.
Grave was stranger there. having
been in the city but a few days,
and from whence he came is not
known. From papers found on his
person his name was learned. 1t
was also ascertained that he had
once worked for the Texas and New
Orleans railroad. in last May. and
previous to that was a cook on a sea
craft, having in his possession a
note. written in German. showing,
under date OF July 10, 1900. it had
been given him for service on
Bremen sailing vessel. This note
was read to the coroner's jury by
August Graf. the tailor, who ex-
planned that Grave was from Hol-
land. There were no marks on the
dead mans body and every indica-
ton was that he had come to his
death from natural causes. perhaps
from the cold OF the night.
