NEW YORK. April 6.-It was just
about as dull a market as possible
and relieved only by spurts OF actiV-
fty here and there. The Street seems
to be in a hopeful humor, but as
usual at this time of the week, begin
ming to limit transactions in view Of
the near approach of the weeks end
and the dreary waiting for the de-
cisions on Monday. The encouraging
feature of the situation is found in
the crop prospects. While business
in general is smaller than at any
time during the year. the matter is
not considered seriously, but rather
as deferred business, which will come
in added volume when the crops are
assured. Grain traffic is light be-
cause of low prices. but it will come
before long.
The business of the Hartman Pacifcs
has fallen off about 10 per cent, but the
companies have just placed an order for
72, 900 tons of rails, which may be taken
as an evidence of confidence in the fu-
ture The Colorado Fuel Company re-
ceived one-third of the order and the
United States Steel Corporation the re-
malder.

Harrington is a railroad engineer. and
Powers is employed in the Potomac
yards. Both were away from home
much OF the time. and II Is said that
their wives became acquainted with
Woodward and Oehlart in Alexandria.
Where they met Mrs Crawley, who at
first was said to be Miss J. II. Brown,
of Alexandria, and Eugene Crawley, is
not known in Alexandria.
Planning Home for Children.
When the two sisters disappeared
some time ago, Mrs. Powers husband
inserted in The Washington Times a
notice to the effect that he would not
be responsible for any debts contracted
by his wife, and Is said to have deter
mined not to take her back, plannirg
10 find a home for his five children.
Harrington, however, kept watch for
any news that would lead to a clue to
his wife's whereabouts, and, as rail-
road employe, ELECTED the aid of rail-
road men all over this part of the
country.
From what the police have learned,
the sextet went to Norfolk from Wash
ington by boat and from there to Balti-
more, where II was reported that Miss
Brown" and Crawley were married, but
in view of the fact that Miss Brown
is known to be RMS. J. II. Crawley, tsnis
is doubted.
In Baltimore, the three women for
some reason thought they had been de-
serted by their new loves, and asked
the police TO locate the men. The police
learned that the three men had gone
TO York, Pa Meantime. the request
made of the polite was printed IN a
Baltimore paper, and it fell under the
eye of Harrington. The result was the
tracing Of the entire party TO York,
whittier the women had been taken after
the men had returned from that city to
Baltimore, after making arrangements
to live in York.
Elopers Well Known.
The fight forms a sensational chap
ter in the ordinarily quiet life of Alex
andria. Both Mrs. Harrington and Mrs.
Power We're well known, the former be-
ing an especially comely woman. Tho
two were sisters, and according tC
rumor in Alexandria, had been in each
others company much of late. Miss
Brown" had been seen with them a
great deal.
The search began when one of the
husbands of the two women. both of
whom are railroad men, learned that
the women and the three men had been
seen boarding a Washington train. He
came to Washington and for a day or
more questioned police on all the down.
town beats in an endeavor to ascertain
whether the party had been seen. At
that time, however, he refused to give
his name, or the names of the women
for whom he was searching, nor did
he visit police headquarters, or any of
the precincts. He contented himself
with questioning the roundsmen. The
Washington police. therefore, were not
able to send out any lookout or take
any official notice of the husbands
visit.
In Alexandria today, the chief of po-
lice declared that he had not been no
tilted either OF the disappearance Of the
women or of their arrest in York, Pa,
which was made at the inst1gation OF
Mr.. Harrington, who communicated di-
rectIy with the Pennsylvania authorl-
ties.

THOUSAND DOLLARS
FOR CLERKS FUND
Fullest Publicity Regarding
Campaign Promised By
Mr.. Chase.

A donation of $1,000 from The Wash
ington Times is the latest boost given
to the fund to aid Government clerks
in the campaign for increased salaries.
This $1,000 donation is the last of
many Of large size contributed by
prominent Washington citizens
Fulton r. Gordon also turned over to
Mr.. Chase a subscription of $500 which
had been sent to him by the United
States Trust Company Mr.. Gordon
said that the amount was intended for
Mr.. Chase's campaign, as he has not So
licited any assistance for his own CAM
paign In behalf of the clerks.
The Boston Baking Company sent in
to Mr.. Chase a subscription of 5000
yesterday afternoon, making the total
on hand today $4,000.
In answer to fears such as were ex-
pressed today by Senator Cullom of IL
linois that the fund OF $30OO0 being
raised by P B. Chase and his commit
tee of twenty-one might be improperly
used, the committee tomorrow night will
meet at the New Willard to formulate
a public statement of its purposes, and
the ways in which it purposes to use
its funds.
Not only will the committee answer
the Senator's criticisms. but at its meet
ing Tuesday night 1t proposed to fore
stall such objections by adopting a poll
Icy Of the fullest publicity. In an inter-
view published this morning the Sena-
tor is quoted as suggesting that the
fund being raised for the maintenance
of a bureau in the interest Of Govern
ment clerks is not necessary to secure
the desired legislation. and mat IL it is
to be used at all It might be used for
bribery.
Mr. Chase vigorously answers this
criticism by calling 1t an insult to every
one connected with the movement and
to every member OF Congress. He points
out that a bureau of publicity whose
duty II would be to aCquaint Congress
and the country with the just needs of
the clerks will have 10 be composed
largely of paid workers and that its ef-
forts will be continued for a considerable
period.
To cover this expense. he shows, the
proposed fund is none too large and
must be provided for before the work
is undertaken. The fund now amounts
to $4,000, subscriptions amounting to
$4,000 closely following the announce
ment Yesterday that former Senator
Charles W. +. Dick OF Ohio had been
requested to take charge OF the working
bureau.

Wall Street Hopeful, But Not Backing Opinions
STOCKS SHOW LITTLE ANIMATION,
BUT HAVE EXCELLENT TONE.
GOSSIP OF DAY.

The only consolation found In the
present dullness is that It Is paving the
way for better things, once the blockade
on business is lifted-when the decisions
are turned in
The strength in the preferred stock OF
the Union Pacific Company has again
started all kinds of rumors concerning
the intent of the officials, and the
Street has stories of rights" coming
and a return OF the old segregation ru-
mors. In order to make the matter
more mystifying another report says
that there will be a big issue of com
mon stock at par and yet another that
foreign negotiations in connection with
financing are also rumored.
Traders, who find 1t extremely diff
cult to remain idle, occasionally take
flyers on both sides. Their attacks on
the market fail to dislodge stock, and
then the short sale is covered at a
slight loss. This kind of trading fur
nishes a large part of the business
these days. 1t is a thoroughly sold out
market, meaning also that the stock is
strongly held, and on any good news
could not be kept down particularly II
the good news should be turned loose
about 1890 next Monday afternoon. 1t
would more than overcome Congression-
al hot air, and would minimize any
possibility of Investigations by the in
formation seeking members OF the low
er branch of national legislature.
