NEW YORK, June Light sell
ing of rails and pivotal industrials
put fair-sized dent in today's stock
market after number of favorites
had touched new tops since late
1899.
Beginning of hearings on the de-
mand for 30 per cent wage boost
for the railway operating brother
hoods touched off initial losses in
this department and leaders else
where followed suit with declines of
fractions to more than 2 points.
Transfers were around 1900, 900
shares. Few recoveg'ies were in sight
near the close.
Customers with good profits ac-
cumulated in the 13-month upswing
decided to cash in here and there
on the idea of a possible technical
correction would enable them to buv
back at lower prices. Questions re-
lating to labor, taxes and the next
big smash at the Axis in Europe
also served to restrain bidders.
Encouraging business news was,
for the most part, without much in
f1uence Chrysler retreated. not

nounced March quarter net of 81 .46

DEATH OF
MRS. JOS. B. BENSON

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Benson, or
Lizzie" as she was Familiarity
known, wife of Joseph B. Benson,
died suddenly at her home at the
Light House, Bombay Hook, about
noon on Sunday, in the 61st year
of her age. But very few knew of
her death until the funeral notice
was read in church at the evening
service, and the shock was there
fore the greater. She had been in
disposed or rather feeble, and the
doctor had visited her nearly a
week before, leaving a prescription
to build up her strength, there be-
ing no disease to fight. On the
morning of her death she had an
other of the weak or sinking spells,
and it was thought advisable to
send for the doctor again. On in
curing after his arrival at the
house he was told she was much
better, and while sitting at the fire
talking to Mr.. Benson, warming his
hands preparatory to going up to
her room, call came from her at
tendant Ito come quickly" They
both hurried up stairs, but the
death struggle was over in a min
ute or two after they got there.
The deceased had been known in
this community from her youth.
Her maiden name was Crockett,
and her father dying in her infancy,
the most of her life thereafter until
her marriage was spent with her
aunt, Mrs. Sabra Hoffecker, wife of
Joseph Hoffecker, from whose
house in 1852, Mr.. Benson led her
to the marriage altar, the cere-
mony being solemnized in the M. E.
Church of this town, theirs being
the first marriage ceremony ever
performed in the church.
How faithfully she fulfilled every
obligation of wife and mother is
known to all who are familiar with
her life these forty-one years. She
was tender, affectionate and true in
her own home, warm-hearted with
her friends, and possessed gentle
