NEW YORK. March 9-There was
less activity in the market during the
earlier hours, and some declines attend
ed the opening while thereafter most
or these losses were recovered and some
slight Improvement recorded. Early
selling was OF of the profit-taking order,
followed by some short selling in anti
cipation of strike spreading, and because
there seemed to be no inside pressure
in the advancing movement Many close
observers thought that there were signs
Of a reaction. but they were rather IN
the minority. and the manner in wich
the recovery developed gave confirma-
ton TO the opposite theory.
While the leading rails. Union Pacific,
St. Paul. Southern Pacific. Reading. and
& few others moved to slightly higher
prices, the feature OF the session. was
the improvement in the equipment
stocks, and also in the Cooper and other
metal shares. Confirmation Of large

PAVING WAY FOR

Prospects are bright for a city
beautiful There has been so much
pleasure felt by the entire community
over the improved appearance of Mar
ket street since Firemen's week. when
the lights we're strung across the
street, that the outlook for a perma-
nent ornamental lighting of the street
will be received with cordial approba-
ton by every one. Though an inn
provement over former darkness, the
effect of the strung lights is tempor-
ary; there is the feeling that they
might be taken down almost any night.
The Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company has made the be-
ginning of the permanent white way,
by erecting a five-light ornamental
post in front of the Electric Office at
No. COG Market street. The equip
ment is the brilliant tungsten lamp.
Admiration of the graceful structure
is general, and the community will
welcome the news that other Market
street stores are likely to put in SINH

colored men made a statement to Mr..
Hutton charging Wiley with making
them the offer as aboveA
This statement was taken down by
the stenographer Of Deputy Attorney
General Harrington, I'm whose office
Mr.. Hutton held the hearing. After the
statement had been made. it is charged
that at the direction of Mr.. Hutton, the
stenographic notes were changed. The
State at any rate refused to proceed
against Wiley, but officer Murphy,
under direction of Detective Ratledge
swore out a warrant for Willey's ar
rest, which Detective Ratledge served
and Wiley was given a hearing before
Magistrate Wood The calored men,
Henry Turner, Alfred Page and Harry
Turner, all swore to the statement
in effect as above given and Wiley
was held in bail for court
Now the Republican leaders here
claim that Mr.. Hutton, acting as
Deputy Attorney-General, and Mr..
Daily who leads the local option for
ces, endeavored to suppress the direct
evidence of these colored men against
Wiley, and further as the meeting
which Wiley first proposed was to be
held In Mr.. Daly's office. none of which
statements were denied at the hearing,
there is a affecting that Mr.. DAILY was
cognizant OF the scheme.
There Is a feeling here that the ac-
tivity of the Democratic leaders is TO
Offset this exposed Democratic trick
IL is proved that the quick and effec-
tive work OF Detective Ratledge nip-
ped in the bud the bold Democratic
"frame-up" At the hearing Deputy
Attorney-General Harrington admitted
that Mr.. Huttons action had placed
him (Mr. Harrington in an embar-
RAISING position, and he refused to al
low the changed statement to be pre-
sented as evidence.
II is claimed here that the evidence
which Detective Ratledge has gathered
ia this particular case viii place men
higher up I'm very embarrassing po-
sition.
