Governing Committee Of the Exchange
is To-Day Considering Report on
The Matter.

Special TO The Ne,rS.
New York. Jan. 12.-lnvestigation
by the Stock Exchange committee into
the Rock Island scandal Of December
81, when the stock went up thirty

expressed in the infiction of penalties
or in the exculpation of the members
concerned.
At the time of the investigation into
the affairs Of A. o. Brown & Co., fol-
owing the forenoons trading, in
which 100000 shares were dealt I'm

ised that all the facts developed would
be given out, but by the time the in

committee changed its mind and
new precedent was not established.
The special committee having in
charge the inquiry into the Rock Is

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

When this tube Is inflamed you have

Ing, and when it Is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the

this tube restored to its normal con-

Black, a mute, has been known for

about the town itself, too. He got
that title because he couldn't speak.
He was a mute. He Is thirty-fye
years old, and has been in Greenwich
for something like twenty years.
Yesterday morning Charles Mead,
who has flower shop In Greenwich.
was going around watering his flow
ers when Black appeared in the door
way. Mead waved hand to him in
salute, that having been his prac-
tice for long time. Black waved,

After this encounter, Black went
from one ploce to another in Green
wich where he has been known for
years. At each place the proprietor
or clerk pushed forward the writing

prised his friends by telling them,
In words, what he wanted They
all were either frightened or

actually walked away from him in
fear.
