Came From the Sky.

WINNIPEG. Manitoba. December IL
Bishop Pascal. who has charge of the
diocese of Prince Albert which embraces
the subarctic country to the north of that
city, brings back with him a story of the
finding OF traces of the balloon in which
8. A. Andree. the Swedish explorer. at
tempted to drift across to the north pole.
One of his missionaries reported to him
that while working among the Eskimos
OF the arctic region he met a tribe VIII CHI
had some of the plumber of the party with
It. These natives had in their
possession quantity of rope Of quality
which they could not get in barter from
the ships which enter the Arctic sea.
White Men From the Sky.
When questioned the Eskimos tod that
many years before they mad come &C. oes
lwo white men who came down out of
the sky In white house" THESE men
.lad afterWard starved to death and the
natives had seized upon the balloon, the
cordage of which they converted to their
own uses. Bishop Pascal instructed the
ans lonary to return and get iurtner de-
tails.
This is the second story of this kind
which has come out of the frozen north.
A Hudson Bay factor has the same repur.
In a somewhat different form. Ills story
is confirmed from the London office of the
company, where 1t was sent in Official
dispatches. According to the factor ali
Indian arrived at his post OH the upper
Churchill in 1900 from an extended trap
ping and trading trip along the borders
of The Arctic ocean in northern Canada.
Story Told by Eskimos.
The Indian told of having met party
of brass instruments Of different shapes,
quantity of metal fittings, which they
had utilized in making hunting gear;
several cooking utensils and much cord
age and fine waterproof Goth. He had
euterea into communication with them
and learned something OF where they gol
their strange treasures.
Several years ago .ney had been hunt
ing on one of the islands OF the Arctic
ocean, and one day they beheld a pecu-
liar apparation in the sky. 1t resembied
q huge 'oomiak, or wOman's boat. When
1t finally landed three men stepped out.
They started to approach The natives
who were IN state of terror and made a
hostile demonstration. One of the whit
men nred a gun and fight followed, in
which the natives were victorious, killing
all .hree of the wanderers
The Eskimos stated to the Indian that
they had not intended killing the three
white men, but that in their terror tn.
made signals for them not to approach.
one OF the whites, not undersl anding,
took these Signals as a sign of hostility
and opened fire.

light receipts in the northwest instilled
considerable bullish sentiment into the

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Washington Gas stock was the only live
~ security on the local stock list to-
day. and the attention OF the members
of the exchange was centered entirely on
two brokers who dealt In gas, one buying
and the other selling
For weeks there has been tip
around that there is, or soon will be
something doing" in gas, and whenever
anybody on the exchange expresses, in
nonchalant and Indifferent manner, de
sire to buy or sell gas, he IS the object
of immediate scrutiny Consequently,
when the two brokers started in this
afternoon their movements were watched
closely.
They did nothing, however. to cause
pane, alt..uugn Gas stock went up /. it
tie as result of their transactions. The
prices varied from 7O7s to ia. One hum
dred shares were sold in lots of twenty
five. the seller advancing his price an
eighth o. point at each sale
In connection with the gas situation,
brokers were discussing again today the
significance of the organization of the
new gas company in ROsslyn, Va, and
the reiaying of the Georgetown Gas Com
panys pipe lines across Aqueduct bridge.
Is still mystery in the minds of the men
on the local market. Those connected
with the local gas companies and the
Ross-yn company still maintain that the
activity on the bridge and in Rosslyn is
pure.y a coincidence. But the stv> k ex-
change IS watching gas closely, never
thelesS.
At meeting of the board of directors
of the Providence Savings Bank yester-
day afternoon, Percy II. Russell was

Rapid progress is reported toward

the separate mergers will greatly SIM
plify the larger con olIdat!on, which Is

part of the coming year.

Situation of Coalers.

The situation in the anthracite railroad

law suit which would bring all the an
thracite railroads within its scope. The

firm tone and was rather strong through
out the greater part of the session, al
though the dealings represented a very
narrow range of interest.
