New Yorx, June The opening of the stock market this morning was very quiet for the regular list and first prices showed only slight changes from the final figures of last evening, which were irregular. ‘The trading during the hour was extremely limited in com- parison with the activity prevalent of late and — only sugar refineries pre- sented any feature worthy of notice. It was still very active, and opening up 14 per cent at 79!¢, it sold at 79 and rose to 81.

It is ascertained that the second deficiency of the Pension Office will amount to about $6,000,000. This will not be appropriated for at this session, but will be used out of the ap- propriation for the next fiscal year, making the deficiehey bill come in next year’s appropri- ation. ¥ This deficiency will make the expenditures of the Pension Office from June 30, 1889, to June 30, 1890, amount to $109,357,534 The regular appropriation for this fiscal year was 291,758,700. In April of this year a deficiency dill of 221,598,834 was passed, and this, it seems, was $6,000,000 short of enough to carry them to the end of the fiscal year. ‘THEY FAVOR MAJ. POWELL’S PLAY. The appropriations committees of the House are practically unanimous in favoring the ap- propriation of $750,000 for the continuation of the «urvey for irrigation of arid lands by the geclogieal survey.

All the time up to recess (at 1:45 p.m.) was given to the agri- cultural schedule, the consideration of which was not completed, WILL NOT BE PUT ON THE LIST. Sénator Manderson today reported from the committee on military affairs, adversely, the bill introduced by himself (by request) an- | thorizing the President to place upon the re- tired list of the army, with the rank and pay of a brigadier general, any general of the Inte war who was in command wher one or more battles were tought and won, and who was promoted for gallant and meritorious service in the field, and who, by assignment of the President, commanded a military department or district. In its report the committee quotes the following from the Secretary of War: “I am not prepared to recommend favorable action upon this bill. It proposes to place upon the retired list certain classes of oficers who were formerly in service. They are not now pro- vided for under existing law, and I would not recommend an enlargement of the retired list at this time to cover this class of cases.” The committee says: “It would be very dif- ficult to distinguish between those who meet all the conditions proposed and another class who likewise fall within the provisions, except that the latter failed to be in command of a department or district. Your committee fail to discover any merit in this feature in the bill, nor docs it meet the views of the commanding general of the army.” The bill was indefinitely post- poned, THE DUTY ON TIN, Senator Moody today introduced an amend- ment to the tariff bill which was referred to the finance committee. It imposes a duty of 30 per cent ad valorem after July 1, 1891, upon cassiterites or black oxide of tin. and upon bar, block and pig tin, In the House bill tin ore or tin in bars, blocks, pigs or grain, or granulated, are on the free list, EXTRA COMPENSATION < Senator Harris this afternoon introduced a resolution, which was referred to the com- mittee on contingent expenses of the Senate, able irregularity marked the dealings, Silver quotations opened 106; sold, highest, 106% lowest, 105; closed, 105;bid, 10534 asked.

None to be Approved Until Boundaries Are Marked. Engineer D. J. Howell, in a letter to Capt. Roseell today says, that at present the major- ity of the subdivisions that come to his office for approval are merely so-called paper sub- divisions—that is there are neither stakes nor stones set on the ground to define the outlines of the property and the linea ot the strects. This, he says, must very soon cause great confusion and produce serious trouble tas the city is extended into the District, When the office approves one of these socalled paper subdivisions the position they are in issimply this: The District 18 powerless fo ever put the subdivision actu- ally on the ground, to define the lines of the streets, toextend the lines of the streets into adjacent subdivisions, or indeed to have any knowledge whatever of a plat officially ap- roved and recorded. In view of this Mr, Howell recommends that no future subdivision be approved by the oftice or ordered to be put on reeord until substantial stones with a cross cut on them are carefully planted at each and every boundary corner of the property and at least at two corners of every street and avenue intersection, it would even be preferable to plant them at all four corners of each block. He further recommends that the owner or owners of said subdivision and the surveyor who has made the subdivision be required to certify, under oath, that the stones ure set as specified and set in accordance with the plan of the map. ——-__ ALEXANDRIA, Reported for Tax Evextxo Stan.

A NEW RAILROAD SIGNAL, Engineers Can Talk With Each Other by Telephone Before Collisions. A test was made this afternoon of the elec- tric railway signal of the Universal Electric Railway Signal Company of Richmond, Va, About three miles of the track on the B, and O. has been provided with this signal system by way of experiment. The apparatus consists of an electric circuit formed by a single iron rod which is laid between the tracks and a wire brush attached to each engine in connection with an electric gong and telephone. Two engines approaching each other on the same track come into circuit at the distance of one mile and a-half or more, according to strength of the battery, and at once the telephone _— bells _—_—ring.

A Poundman Fined for Dog’s Leg With His Net. Jobn Wells, one of Poundmaster Einstein's colored assistants, was before the Police Court today charged with cruelty to animals, It was charged by Agent Key of the Humane Society that the defendant in throwing the net over a dog broke the animal's leg, the animal at the time wearing tag. ‘The poundmaster said that as the defendant wasin the employ of the District and while using the implements furnished by the Distric accidently injured the animal, He thought the defendant should be defended by a repre- sentative of the District. Agent Key said he presented this case be- cause he wanted the means used for catching dogs changed. Instead of a heavy net with an iron ring he thought a bamboo ring should be used. Mr. Key said that these cases of cruclty ; were of such frequent occurrence that he wanted the question settled. Poundmaster Einstein contradicted the state- ment made by Agent Key and xaid that in the capture of between 30,000 and 40,000 dogs this is the second occurrence of the kind, Judge Miller said that as the prosecution was brought in the name of the | District against an emplove of the District, the result of using implements furnished by the District, he would appear for both sides. Witnesses were called and they testified that the defendant was told that there was a tag on the animal before he threw the net. The dog, the witnesses said, was lying on the pavement at the time and did not move when the defendant approached. “The animal was probably aware that it was exempt from arrest,” remarked the court. Judge Miller, in speaking of dogs, said that the prevalence of dogs on the streets is an in- tolerable nuisance, “and,” said the judge, “if I had my way I would rmit a single one of them to run about the streets. Within the last week or twowe have had two cases here in which young children were bitten, and one of the children is worth all the dogs in the world. The work of pad prneence is very im- portant and it would be a good thing if the streets were cleaned of dogs.” The court held that as the dog was licensed it was exempt from touch and held the defend- ant guilty. A fine of $3 was imposed. Mr. Einstein said that the decision of the court would greatly interfere in the prosecu- tion of his work, as it was often impossible to see the tags on the dogs. He said it would also prevent the men from catching dogs to see Sereget they have stolen tags around their necks, HE WAS ASLEEP, How it Happened Samuel Tinker Was Killed by His Own Cart. Coroner Patterson held an inquest at the sixth Precinct station this afterncon over the body of Samuel Tinker, the colored cart driver who was killed near the Government Printing Oftice yesterday afternoon, as published elsewhere in ‘Tue Sran,and several witnesses were called who described the accident. W. H.|Farren testitied that the deceased was asleep on his cart and! the horse turned from near the car track and the cart struck the rear end of aherdic, The jar awoke Tinker, who grabbed for the reins. Instead of catching hold of the reins he grabbed the harness and fell between the horse's hind legs, The horse became frightened and kicked Tinker several times. The driver of the herdic paid no attention to the accident, but continved on his journey. The horse at- tached to the cart ran as far as G street before he was caught. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer said death was due to hemorrhage and shock. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death and attached no blame to the driver of the herdic. a The Late Mrs. Keim. Mrs, Martha Randolph Keim, the mother of DeB. Randolph Keim of Washington, who died at Reading, Pa., on June 4, was the daughter of Col, Thomas Beverley Randolph of Virgit one of the first graduates of West Point and a distinguished officer in the war of 1812.

SIGNAL BOXES FOR GEORGETOWN A Contract Awarded Today After a Long Delay. At last Georgetown is to have a police signal system, the Municipal Signal Company of Bos- ton having been awarded the contract yester- day after nearly a year of waiting and investi- gation into the relative merits of the two signal systems for the police service in Georgetown, The history of this mat- ter is interesting. In July, 1889, the Commissioners advertised for proposals, the specifications being prepared by the electrician of the District. It was found, how- ever, that the specifications were so drawn as to exclude all systems save the Gamewell, the one at present in use. The Commissioners, however, decided to aliow other companies to bid, and accordingly tie Municiyal Company of Boston submitted a bid. were rejected ana proposals again invited, Gamewell Company put in a bid for $3,750, the Municipal 3,600, It was decided by board to thoroughly investigate the reiative | merits of the two systems and Capt. Rosscll, assistant to the Engineer Commissioner, was detailed to inspect the workings of the two systems in the various cities where they were in operation. After visiting a number of cities Capt. Ros- sell submitted his report and yesterday the Commissioners approved it and awarded the contract to the Municipal Company of Bos- ton. The work of equipment will commence at once, — The Haymakers Cantata. An appreciative audicnce listened last night toa pleasing rendition of “The Haymakers” cantata at Masonic Hall.
