cumulated some beef during Lent
which enabled them to conceal their
need OF supplies for awhile after
Easter Sunday, but the stock on hand
has largely been worked of now, anc
urgency Of their needs is in plain
sight above the surface. Middle class
steers made the biggest gain last week
and they sell at $3.50 to $500 now,
range higher than ever known before
Top steers are around a quarter high
er than a week ago, a drove today al
$780, though prime heavy steers
might go above that figure. She stun
and bulls are soaring, and light
butcher stuff is extremely active at
what would be prohibitive prices at
an ordinary time Mixed heifers and
steers, yearlings, brought $50 today,
769 lbs. Heavy quarantine steers
reached $785 today, and hay fed Colo
RADIO steers $3.50. Other quarantine
steers brought 1915 to $3.50 Bulls

with kill to it, Calves are the only
weak members on the list, selling
about like a week ago, tops around
$500. Killers appropriate feshy feed

feeders a few days ago. s6.25 to $500
are ruling prices for feeders, aud $3.50
to $3.50 for stock steers.
Hog statesmen who had good hogs
started out this morning asking eight
dollars for them. but they all had to
drop their asking price to 1896 to eff
feet sales. At that, the market was
to 10 higher than Saturday, and only
shade below week ago. The run
today is 1000 head, and bulk of sales
ranged from s765 to s795, six or
eight loads fetching the latter price.
Light weights go up to s7.75, and pigs
bring $500 to 1915. The estimate
calls for $4,000 hogs here tomorrow.
Dealers believe tops will stay around
$500 this week
Commission men stopped every
thing they could last week after the
market broke quarter Thursday, but
they allowed fair run to come in to-
day, 5000 head. The market was
strong and active today, lambs selling
at $3.50 for the best, bulk at $3.50 to
S7S5 Aged sheep were strong today,

worth $3.50, ewes s6.10 Very little
clipped stock is here today. though

pect OF the great ocean disaster that
occurred yesterday in which nearly
1000 persons met their death when
the great steamer, the Titanic, went
down to the bottom Of the sea The
men on that vessel proved themselves
to be heroes in giving the life boats
to the women and children and went
down to death a willing sacrifice to
the weak ones Of the race. As the
lowIy Nazarine gave his life for others
so these brave men stood aside and
saw the life boats filled with the weak
and the helpless ones OF the ill-tated
vessel.
1t makes one feel kindlier to all
humanity when such deeds are re
corded.

TOWN NOT RESPONSIBLE
w W Page Cannot Recover Dam.
ages For Destruction of His Home
in Warrenton

In the United States District Cours
for the Eastern District of Virginia,
Judge Edmund Waddill, jr., has just
handed down ar interesting and i'm
p0rtant opinion in the case of ". ".
Page against the town Of Warrenton.
The case arose out Of the fire which
.ook place in Warrenton about two
wears ago, and destroyed a large par.
Of the town. In order 10 stop the
progress Of the fire, it seems that an
Official fthe town ordered that NJ.
Pages house be destroyed by dyna-
rite. which was done Afterwards
.Ml. Page sued the town to recover
the value Of his house relying upon
the statute which authorizes the
chief engineer of the fire department
to order destruction of buildings to
prevent the spread of fire, at the
public expense.
Judge WaGGiIl held that the statute
authorizing the chief engineer of the
fire department should be strictly
construed, and that therefore no
other official Of the town could eXer-
else such authority and as Nr. Page S
house had been destroyed without au-
thority, from tie proper officials OF
.the town. therefore. the town Of War
renfon is not responsible for the loss
ard NJ. Page cannot recover. Coun-
sci for Page argued that the town
having failed to appoint a chief en-
gineer, that it was liable for this
neglect of duty, but the court held
that although the toxin might have
been derciict in this respect. nevcr-
theIess. the town could not be held
liable for the non-eXercise Of the dis
erection on the part Of an official never
chdsen.
