LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS,

The only suggestion of an order of
any sort at today's meeting of the
stock exchange was when the common
stock of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company was reached. One
of the brokers wanted to buy twenty
five shares and was willing to pay 81 "a
for it. There was no stock offered for
sale at less than 80, and in consequence
there was no trade, as neither party
appeared to be willing to make con-
cessiOn, even for the good Of the order
to increase the aggregate of the trans
actions for the day. After the call
the bidder concluded to go the other
northumberland lots at 80.
Another broker wanted to trade in
Lanston. but he found there was no one
else with similar inclination, or rather
order, and so he had to defer that salts
faction to some more favorable opportu-
nifty.
In spite of the small volume of BUSH
ness done the attendance continues to be
good, as today, for example, there were
eleven members of the exchange present,
and if the coats that were laid off had
been counted it would have made the CEN
sus nearly double. Yesterday fourteen
could have answered to the roll if one
had been called.
During the period of the year when it is
supposed that business is commonly the
most active the average daily attendance
in numbers is not as great as might be
supposed. There are some away who
will be back after awhile, and others are
to go, SO that there is certain amount
OF shifting in the personnel of the at
tendance during the entire summer.

WOMAN TOLD HUSBAND
WAS IN PENITENTIARY
Through Trick, Wife of Man Who
Vanished Suddenly Was Kept
Quiet Two Years.

CHICAGO, July pa trick whereby a
wife was persuaded to maintain silence
for two years concerning the disappear
ance of her husband. whom she was made
to believe was serving a term in prison
at Joliet, ILL.,, was revealed here today
when the police were asked in letter
from Mrs. George Hobart, wife of a
travelling salesman of Quincy, Mass, to
search for her husband.
Hobart disappeared two years ago. A
stranger appeared and told Mrs. Hobart
that her husband had been sent to prison
at Chicago for gambling.
He impressed her with a belief that if
she made inquiries it would be detri-
mental to Hobart's chances of securing
freedom.
Mrs. Hobart says she made no efforts
to communicate with her husband until
the two years were up, last May. Then
she discovered that Hobart had not been
either in Chicago or Joliet.
She does not know the name of the man
who gave her the false information.

AMATEURS MEET IN FINALS.
High Wind Makes Good Golfng

pionship tournament today over the
Minikahda Club course Charles Evans,
jr.. Edgewater, the present champion,
played Robert Hunter of Midlothian, who
made a 6S in his match with Albert
Seckel yesterday. while Mason Phelps of
Midlothian was opposed to Warren K.
Wood of Homewood.
Woods defeat of Harry G. Legg of Min
ikahda, who made the low qualifying
score of 14O, made him one Of the favor
ties for the championship. His match
with Phelps drew a large gallery, but
more followed the Evans-Hunter con-
test.
The four semi-finalists appeared in ex-
cellent condition as they drove off the
first tee and hard fought matches were
expected.
Hunter was one up on Evans and Phelps
was three up on Wood at the end of the
morning round. A high wind swept over
the course and made good playing almost
impossible.

Report by the Auditor.

The matter was in this stage when the
papers were referred by Commissioner
Johnston to Auditor Tweedale. and Act
ing Auditor Donovan wrote the analysis
Of the case in which Mr.. Wood was Sc
verely criticised In part Mr.. Donovan
said
when the bidders submitted their pro-
posals, on which these several contracts
are based, it is reasonable to assume that
they took into consideration the fact
that at the commencement of their work
some difficulty would be encountered
through the mapping out of collection dis
tricts and instructIng the drivers anu
their assistants. Bidders would naturally
give consideration to such conditions In
reaching the amounts named In their
proposals. None of these several con-
tracts authorized the two weeks leeWay
without damages which has been al
lowed by the superintendent of the street
cleaning department.
1.-The action of the superintendent OF
street cleaning in making such an allow
ance to any of the contractors under his
department and not charging the con-
tractors on and after the first day OF
July, as provided for by the several con-
tracts. is an exercise of an arbitrary dis
erection which is not possessed by the
Superintendent of street cleaning under
the terms of any of the contracts, nor. SO
far as I can ascertain. by any formal
order of the Commissioners.
