of his sister, Mrs. Theresa Martin, that
it was she and not the defendant Wko
stabbed to death Charles Muldoon in
the back room of q saloon. The wos
man made this confession yesterday
when promised immunity; but the
judge charged the jury to take into
consideration when weighing her es.
timony that she had lied to the coTo-
saloon brawl.
The jurors informed the court thaa
they saw through the efforts Of Mrs.
Martin to make the impression That
she, and not McDermott, was guilty
Of the crime. They gave her credit
for a brave sacrifice, but they said Ec-
story was not plausible enough. They
explained that they we're cognizant OF
mitigating circumstances which re-
suited in their recommendation for
mercy. McDermott was intoxicated.

and did the killing in the firm belief
that his sister had been wronged by

Lavender a Second Rueksr.

Here's what Charlie Murphy of the
Chicago Cubs has to say about Jimmy
Lavender, the old Holyoke hurIer:
''The Cubs played in luck when the
commission turned back Lavender on
us the other day. 1t wasn't very long
after we disposed of him to Montreal,
after having secured him from Provi-
dence, that I began getting letters Of
protest from baseball men whose judg-
ment I respect. All Of them said | had
made tremendous mistake and that
1 would regret my action. I'm glad
that l overlooked the technicality of
first offering him back to the Provi-
dence club before sending him to Mon
treal for it was upon this point that
the commission abrogated the sale
The fasteners tell me Lavender is a
second Nap Fucker and he's going to
get a chance to show it on the West
Side this spring.

LOSSES GENERAL.
Weakness of United States Steel At
feets Entire Market.


New York, Jan. 91.-Acute weakness
OF United States Steel overshadowed
all other features Of the stock market
today. The quotation fell IA points.
borne down by an outpouring Of stock
which 5mothered all attempts to sup
port it. Union Pacific's showing was
little better, that stock losing 8 as.
The collapse of these two leaders in
huenced the market to a pronounced
degree. Losses were general among
both railroad and industrial stocks, al
though the decline in most instances
was much less than that of United
states Steel Trading was much more
active. The total transactions for the
day were $4,000 shares. the largest in
several weeks Transactions in United
States Steel were $4,000 shares.
There was no well defined explana-
ton Of the selling movement, although
1t was apparently due largely to pro-
fessfonal operations. The character of
the quarterly report OF the United
States Steel corporation, issued after
the close Of the market yesterday was
Of course taken into consideration, but
1t was generally agreed that the report
was as favorable as had been expected.
London sold United States Steel heavi-
ly, apparently on account of its inter
probation Of the report. Arbftrage
brokers said that the selling of United
States Steel and Union Pacific for for
eAgn account amounted to 10000 OF
more shares.
In some quarters the pressure was
attributed to inside selling" in others
to the belief that the permanency Of
the dividend rate on United States
Steel had been called into question.
That stock touched SO ga, the lowest
price in several months, as compared
with the high price Saturday of 65 rs.
The preferred fell to 109 "a, that issue
as well as the common dropping be-
low the figure at which it was offered
for subscription to employees Of the
steel corporation.
Lack of effective support for the mar
ket was so pronounced as to discour-
age bull traders. The ease with which
stocks were depressed in the morning
on comparatively small amount of
trading encouraged the bears and short
selling became more aggressive as the
day wore on. The course of the market
| indicated that the demand which stead
led the list recently was due largely
to short covering. The short interest
| having been largely reduced, this de-
mand diminished. and the market was
| placed in a vulnerable position
st. Paul touched new low point on
| its present movement its bottom figure
of 1O4 IA being the lowest Of several
years. A few stocks showed strength
! for a time after the opening. New
York Central and Reading advanced in
the first half hour, but both fell back
later with the rest of the market.
! The weekly reviews Of the steel and
iron trade could not be made the basis
for operations against the steel stocks.

- Wo 1SCofuS IN a Odg-NOlan WON
Stiff Half Mile struggIe-Partins
Purse of $17o from the Pastimss,
On September H. 1887, the amateur
championships were held on the Man
haitian A. c. grounds at Saith street
and Eighth avenue, New York city,
and attracted the best amateur talent
of the United States and Canada. The
athletes Of the various clubs trained
hard and faithfully for the different
events and some records were made
that day that remained on the record
books for years.
1 had about twenty men in the diff
ferent events, among them being Tom
Collett and Billy Burkhardt, who won
the one-mile walking championship III
1888 and 1889.
The track was in perfect condition
while the weather was clear and
bright when the first event was called
at about 2 O'Clock p. m. The events
were run off with machine ?like precIs-
ion, and l was preparing Burkhardt
for the mile walk, khen Collect, who
was speaking to a man a short dis
lance from us, called to me: John
CONS over here and let me introduce
you to my friend, Mr. Carter!"
I walked over to them and shook
hands with the great English runner,
who had just returned from England
after winning the four and ten mile
championships of that country. Car
ter was tall. rangy fellow, of light
complexion and engaging manners,
and was at that time in the best con-
dit1on Of his life.
While speaking to him. the one
mile race was called, and he walked
out to the starting post, where a
minute later the pistol cracked, and
Carter at once went to the front, and
running like q machine, crossed the
finish line in Am. 3os., new Ameri-
can record.
But the smile race, which followed
about an hour later, was the great
event of the day, and the record then
made resisted the attacks made upon
it for more than twenty YEARS, and the
perfect condition in which he finished
the race impressed me with the belief
that he could have beaten % minutes
that day.
