MERCANTILE MARINE
 TAKES BAD TUMBLE
Sales in First Hour of TOday's Trad ing Show Transfer of 75.OOO
 Shares.

New York, May 4.-Transa ctions in international Mercantile Marine shares far exceeded dealings in all other issues during the early trading on the Stock Exchange today and before the end of the first hour the preferred stock showed an extreme loss of 3-4 at S5 1-4, and the com mon 3-S at 23.
 Opposition to the proposed read justment plan of the preferred stock holders of the International Mercan- tile Marine was the reported reason for the renewed weakness. The pre- ferred and common opened at ad- Vances but reacted on heavy offerings, conn bined sales in the first hour aggre- gating 5000 shares or more than 40 per cent of the total. Some of the other issues were adversely affected.

EXCITEMENT ON ARCADE.
When Bristol Man Falls in Trying to
 Jump Moving. Train.

A Bristol man whose name was not learned, had a hair-breadth escape from death and at the same time caused an instinctive shudder to pass through a crowd of more than fifty people at the Main street railroad crossing last night.
 The train leaving here at about 8 o'clock was already moving and had gathered some momentum when the Bristol man came rushing down the Arcade from Main street, his Overcoat on his right arm. Instead of running with the train, he leaped towards It and grasped the railing of the car next to the locomotive. The speed of the train threw him off his balance and he was dragged almost to the Main street crossing before he dropped his coat and pulled himself onto the steps.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 27.-Two inn
portant changes are to be made next
year in the distribution Throughout,
Georgia of Red Cross Christmas seals

In the first place, all persons who

them from the advances of the pretty

Christmas seals on the streets.
This reform will be put in effect
both for the benefit Of the mail purch-

there has been no way for a person
who really had bought stamps to
prove his purchase, and nothing for
the young lady to do but insist on his
buying some more, has proven a
source of embarrassment in some
cases.
When pretty girl stops you and

stop and explain that you already
