After permitting the market to make

back with a fierce rush in the noon
hour, and gave the list a good shaking
up amounting almost to a slump.

Sailor Rescued After
Long Fight With Sharks

GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. S.-After five
hours in the sea facing death from
sharks and drowning, Andy Anderson,
. Danish fireman from the British
steamship Melton, was picked up 200
miles off St. Vincent IN the West Indies
by the steamship Nelisement, which has
arrived here.
Anderson fell overheard from his YES
sci at o'clock in the morning, without
being seen. Determined to make a des-
perate fight, he stripped off his clothing
but saved his knife. He soon found that
sharks were after him, and he had to
fight for his life.
knitting the fish, Anderson, an expert
swimmer, managed to keep afloat until
a. m. when the lookout on the Nelise-
ment. which had run about forty miles
off its course, sighted the man in the
sea. He was picked up and taken
aboard, and was found to be literally
SCARED from head to foot with wounds
inflicted by the fish. He lost conscious
ness when taken from the water, but
now is little the worse for his terrible
experience.

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-stocks opened
lower all around, continuation of the
weak spell that developed late Thursday
afternoon. 1t was a peculiar market IN
that Union Pacific and Steel common
quickly rallied while the pressure In
many other stocks was continued for
moderate declines. Canadian Pacific,
and the Hill stocks were especial OBJ
jects of the bears attention There
were numerous expressions Of opinion
to the effect that the chances for reel
procity were decidedly questionable, this
naturally having more or less effect on
the stocks named, especially on the
Hills, which were advanced on reciproc-
Ity passage here.
There wasn't much doing in the
market, dizziness being the feature. 1t
was not a good market to sell on, and
vet considerable actual stock came out.
1t has come to a time when the bears

the top Of the incipient rally, go snort
again. Investors are afraid or the

CAPITALIST is attracted by the certainty

grade rails will look cheap and buys a
few hundred shares to lock away. The

COlOred Man Draws
His Sixth Sentence

Cartridges with the caps dented by
the trigger Of the revolver that it is
alleged Knox Young, coIored. held to
the head of Moses Porter, August q,
were shown in United States branch of
Police Court today. Three times, as
shown by the marks on the caps, the
trigger was pulled on each cartridge
Only the weakness of the spring in the
hammer saved Porter from getting four
bullets in his head. The weapon is of
80 caliber.
Young, with a record of five sentences
for assaults and larcenics, was SEN
fenced to pay a fine OF $500 or serve a
year in Jail for carrying a concealed
weapon, and was fined $, with alter
nate fifteen days for assault, by Judge
G. E. Aukam. The defendant pleaded
not guilty on both charges. The at
tempted shooting occurred il a house
on New Jersey avenue. Afterward
Young barricaded himself in a, room and
Bicycle Policeman Jerry Mccarthy, of
the Sixth precinct, was forced to climb
up to enter through the third-story
window to arrest Young.

Ships Not Ordered To
Chinese Trouble Zone

The Navy Department today denied
the report that orders had been issued
to American warships in Chinese wa
tiers to proceed into the province OF
Sze-Chuen, China, to protect American
interests and the lives OF American mis-.
sionaries there.
The officers of the Asiatic feet, how
ever, have general orders to proceed al
any time to any district In which Amer
leans may be threatened. This they
may do upon request OF American con-
suls without specific orders from the
Navy Department.
At the State Department today it was
said there was nothing to add to the
information to the effect that Charge
d'Affaires Williams, at Picking. had re-
ported conditions to be critical in this
province. The charge asked for the
use of warships.
1t is probable that the Saratoga, New
Orleans, and perhaps the Gallon have
gone to Sze-Chuen province already.

Other Financial News.

Total deposits Of the thirty-one banks
of the District of Columbia on Sep
TENDER /, were s66.s66, 47.73. distributed
as follows: National banks. 81. 32s. 464. F;
trust companies. $26,053. 302 rs; savings
banks, $10.4S3, 709.ss.
The total is $3,1Oe,04s.70 less than tho
deposits on the occasion of the pre-
vious call by the Comptroller, June z,
1911.
The national banks sustained loss
of s2,S59.071; the trust companies. $685.
331.12, while the savings banks actually
came to the front with a gain Of $56,-
35S.1S
The heavy loss in the national banks
deposits is partially accounted for by
the withdrawal of 81, 500, 900 Of tax money
deposited with the banks, to minimize
the loss of cash through. the annual
tax payments.
Naturally, with such a decrease in
the deposits there will be a decrease in
the loans and also IN the profits, al
though the rates obtained on loans
throughout the summer months should
have made the net returns satisfactory:
And the conditions that have reduced
deposits here are common everywhere,
SO that the aggregate showing of the
national banks of the country is prac-
ticlly sure to show q loss.
The success of the savings bank in
keeping an averge gain throughout the
period when other banks were losing,
Is a tribute to the consistency and
economy of the savers-and to the per-
sistent and excellent advertising Of the
savings banks.

In Honor of Bride Elect.

| On Thursday afternoon, May 25,
Miss Daisy Pruitt was the charm
ing and gracious hostess of linen
ard hose shower given in honor of
the bride elect, Miss Mildred
Minor.
After the assembling of about
eighty guests on the lawn, they
were ushered into the hall to the
strains of sweet music, rendered
by Macon's youngest and most
talented musician, Creighton AL
len, where beautiful little maidens
furnished each guest with a cup of
delightful punch before entering
the parlor, which was beautifully
decorated with hearts, ferns and
flowers. Beneath the electolier
was suspended a ribbon rod on
which many and varied colored
silk hose were hung, and here the
bride. elect, accompanied by Misses
Pruitt, Lucus and Ames, stood
and showered with hose. Then
| Mrs. Julian Boggess delivered
gracious toast to the bride elect, to
which she blushingly reptile in
heartfelt lines. The guests then
drank to the health of the bride
and groom-elect.
Immediately following this, an
other pleasant surprise came her.
