GOSSIP OF A L R E
Bu M ping at the Ton.

Erie made a new high close. 1t also
soid within an eighth Of the previous
top OF 44as. made on November 1 last.
In fact Erie had the appearance OF
pumping at the top all day. Trading
was on a very heavy scale and several
pig single buying orders were executed.
Spectators who have been watching
the market closely were impressed with
the size and persistence of the demand.
Ihey said that the stock was hard to
BUY. Gossip OF the Street was that in.
terests prominent In the market on the
recent advance from around 80 were
accommodating the stock An impress
! v feature about the market In Erie
Is the manner in which the rise has
been maintained. This rise was both
extensive and swift. Erie is widely held
and a great deal Of stock must have
come to market on the successive stages
or the advance both from spectators
who bought lower down and from out
sources. But In spite of this and
the recent unsettlcment in general mar
ket conditions there has been no reaction
in Erie worth speaking Of. That sug-
gests a broad demand for the stock.
The failure of the first preferred to MAIN
tain its usual parity toward the common
has been a matter OF frequent comment.
The first preferred has been rather CON
~tinuously for sale around the present
level. The latest explanation Of this
phenomenon Is that 1t represents a
switch Of large investment holdings from
the frst preferred to tho common

Alaska Gold.

Alaska Gold has been sliding of stead
lily for a long time. It Is now down
from In extreme high Of 40is to 81. The
stock has not been violently weak Mt any
time, but the disquieting feature has
been the persistence with which the SELL
Ing has kept up. Yesterday the poor
ness Of the demand was rather more
conspicuous than usual. resulting in an
extreme loss of ga points. practically
all OF which was maintained at the
close. The assurances OF the manage
ment that the company's troubles only
amount to a few months delay In the
full realization of previous hopes have
not been entirely successful In removing
doubts. The rise n fall In Alaska
Gold have been typical Of a market for
a mining stock. Such a market is diff
ferent from a market In other classes
of securities. 1t Is more likely TO e to
extremes In both directions.

People of West Union Fail Il
Take the Proper Pre-
cautions.

CHARLESTON, Aug. 1S-Fear
has been expressed at the Office of the
state department Of health that the
recent outbreak of typhoid fever at

authorities in charge of the municipal
water plant to properly use the ny
pochlorite of lime purifying plant
Constructed for temporary use there
July 10, by Mayo Tolman, state san
ltary engineer.
The authorities were instructed to
use this purifying plant Tor all the
water supplied the public through Its
pipes, and on the strength of the
belief that these INSTITUTIONS were be-
ing carried out, Mr.. Tolman said to-
day. many persons there had resumed
the use OF city water. That the au-
thorities had discontinued the use OF
the hypocholite plant, and resumed
the old polluted supply OF water, MT
Tolman regards as little less than
aZiminal, and he declared today t1ai
he had notified the mayor Of West
Union that the town would not be

be necessary for the town to secure
a new water supply, probably IRON
driven wells. He explained that e1-
cellent wells have been driven at 12O
to ITO feet near the Carroll and Da-
Wis oil wells.
At 1t is, it will be matter of con
siderable surprise If other cases dc
not develop at West Union fSom re
yerting. to the old water supply. IN
the opinion OF Mr.. Tolman.
While the prevalenceo of typhoid re,
yer at Dunbar involved eighteen cases
in all, and three persons are still
confined to their homes with the di-
sease, it has been explained by pr. 8.
y. Jepson stat health com mtssto
that it could not be termed technically
an epidemic. because the cases have
been scattered over a.perIod OF about
fiv months, instead of breaking o1'

The cause of these cases, however,
were all traced by May Tolm an. SAM
tary engineer. to q corrupt water sup

water to the people of the town has
been required to remedy and has rem I'M:
