natnder Of the day trading was still quite
active, stocks i'll mos: cases closing with
good fractional gains

as indicative Of its present strong posi-

ment's power 10 collect the tax was II
naily ffirmed today, there Were no such
signs of uneastness. The momentary re-
preston of prices doubtless was the re-
suit of some hesitation as TO how the
news would be taken, as well as to an
attempt on the part of the bear traders TO
utilize the decision for their own needs.

ton of stocks by large holders and the
market soon righted itself.

POSTAL SAVINGS
Bank System Not in Special
Favor in State,of West
Virginia.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Mar 90.
The announcement OF the postmas-
Ter general, made last night, as to
the workings of the postal savings
blank system during the two months
it has been in effect. would indicate
that the system has not met with
especial favor in West Virginia, or
at least in Grafton. where the only
postal savings bank in the state is
located. With the first office on the
list, Leadvilie, Colo, showing a62
depositors with s21 1853 on deposit,
or $5s.7l to the depositor, the
Grafton Office shows 26 depositors
with s545 to their credit. or an av-
crage OF $2O.96. Only ten Offices
show less money deposited than
Grafton. which ranks thirty-eigthth
out OF forty-eight Offices.

In Circuit Court is a Foreign
er Accused Of Felonious
Stabbing.


Emil sullent a foreigner, employed
at coal mine near Lost Creek, may
well count himself lucky. as a result
of the. action taken by the criminal
court Monday morning in his case.
Sullnt had been in Jail four months,
charged with felonlous stabbing.
When the time came for his trial. it
was ascertained that the main wit
ness for the state had gone across
the water to be married and the
state was unable to prosecute the
case. The fellow pleaded guilty 20
assault and battery and the judge
fined him $40 and costs. which he
promised to pay as soon as he could
earn the amount. He was then given
his freedom.
