The Bears Had Their Own Way for a While, but Afterward Retired. New York, May 12—There was a general, though slight, improvement in prices at the stock exchange this morning, notwithstanding the reported failures on the London stock ex- change and the further rise in discounts there. The strength of the discount market in London leads to the impression that further gold ex- ports from New York ure inevitable. Shortly after the opening, however, sterling exchange was advanced to 436 and 490, and this checked the rising tendency in stocks.’ General Electric, Missouri Pacitic and Cordage fell 8¢ to 34 percent and the other active specialties 24 to 44 per cent. ‘The selling movement in stocks which set in after the rise in the posted rates of sterling | exchange made further progress as the morn- ing wore along. General Electric fell to 73%, Barlington and Quincy to 85%, Cordage to 113g, Chicago gas to 721, Distilling and Cattle | Feeding to 174, Manhattan to 1314, St. Paul Rock Yaland to 718, and” ‘Northern preferred to 339. United States rab- ber, common, however, jumped 634 to 40. At 11 o'clock the market was weak in tone. ‘The market has been decidedly firmer since 11 o'clock, under the influence of steady pur- chases by leading commission houses. ‘The advance from the lowest was equal to 1/a2% per cent, the latter in Manhatian, which sold up to 134.’ Sugar rose to 85°;. General Electric to 748, St, Paul to 712g, Rhode Island to 72%; Northern Pacific preferred to 341, Burlington and Quincy to $64, Missouri Pacitic to 384; and Western Union to 843s.

HE PULLED THE TRIGGER Mental Depression at His Long Illness the Cause of the Suicide — Circumstances Un- der Which the Deed Was Committed— His Long and Varied Service. —_-____— A few minutes after 6 this morning Stephen L. Kearney, a former member of the District police force and a vettran of two wars, com- mitted suicide at his residence, 1519 10th street northwest, by shooting himself in the bead with «small Smith & Wesson five-chambered revolver. ‘Mr. Kearney had been an invalid for the past year, suffering from a complication of diseases, prinepally from an affection of the heart. He had been confined to his bed for the past two months, although it was frequently almost im- possible to keep him in bed, so restless was he, He was very weak and at times was flighty and incoherent. Last evening he co plained of being confined to his bed room, on the second floor of the house, and thought that he would bo benefited by sleeping on a cot in the room back of the parlor on the first floor. ‘There he rested last night, and this morning appeared to be a little easier. TRE FATAL suoT. About 6 o'clock his daughter went to the bascment to prepare her father a milk punch. While preparing it she was startled by hearing the reportof a pistol,about twenty minutes after brother, W. L. Kearney. Her brother bad also heard the shot, and running down from the floor to the room occupied last night by his father discovered him lying partly on the cot and across a chair at its WAKE DEPARTMENT CHANGES, Secretary Lamont Will Shake Up the Records and Pension Office. Secretary Lamont has determined on a num- ber of changes in the office of records and pen- sions and they will probably be announced ins few days, He has concluded that there are several of- ficials in that buredtu whose services can be dis- pensed with without detriment to the public service. It is understood that there will be about six removals and fifty or sixty reductions of clerks, ‘The principal causes for these changes are frequent absences, inefficiency and general mis- chief making. —— SALE OF OAK VIEW. ‘The President's Former Summer Residence Now Belongs to Col.

Col. Fleming intends to make this place his home. ee TREASURY OFFICTIA PLEASED. Large Receipts Which Have Improved the Condition of Affairs. ‘The condition of the ‘Treasury Department is much improved and the officials are corre- spondingly pleased. The receipts have been larger than this time last year and although the expenditures have been very heavy they are not so great as was expected, Almost all of the big expenditures for this month have been made, including the $3,000, 000 for pensions which fall due on the Ist of June. These drafts have reduced the available balance to 22,250,000, but this item will in- crease from this time on. ‘The gold in the treasury today is £203,022, 684. against which there aro $103, gold certificates out leaving ‘the net gold, usually denommn:"rd’ the “reserve.” $99,225,665. Offers from th st of $1,500,000, which bave been accepted, vu. which do uot yet appear on the treasury books, will, when | transferred, make the gold reserve mnitact stated two davs ago, and leave a margin of free side, with a great sireamof blood gushing from « bullet hole directly on top of the head. Catching his father up in his arms the son spoke to him, bat no reply came. Placing his father on the cot, the son sent for Dr. Warwick Evans, but the unfortunate man died in about ten minutes’ time, before the arrival of the physician, and without having spoken a word, Some time ago. but unknown to the dead man, his son had taken the pistol, which had been used by his father during bis service as a policeman, from trunk in the base- ment and placed it in a closet in the room occupied by his father last night, and a few feet from the cot. There the son saw it last night, the butt of the weapon just protruding from beneath some articles on the closet shelf. To this closet the dead man is supposed to have gone for medicine while his daughter was below this morning preparing the punch. Suffering intensely and despondent be- cause of his long illness, it is sup- posed that the afilicted man, upon glancin: at the pistol, instantly resolved to end bis sufferings. ag it in bis richt hand, it is thought that he stepped. bnek ' to his couch, seated himself on it, and placing the muzzle of the weapon to the top of his head, pulled the trigger while he stendied his head with the left hand, for the left hand was scorched by the discharge. Just previous to the shooting the unfortu- nate men appeared to be in Yair spirits, and spoke affectionately to bis danghter, saying thas he felt that he had but a short time to live, and that he felt very grateful for the untiring care and attention he had always received from her and the rest of the family. WIS LONG AND VARIED SERVICE, The deceased was in his sixty-ffth year. He was a native of Buffalo, N. ¥., but bad been a resident of the District for the past forty years, He served in the Mexican war ax drummer boy, and during the war of the rebellion he’ served fourteen months in the fifteenth Massachusetts cavalry as second lieutenant, and afterward in the United States colored troop as first lieutenant, and it was during this service that he contracted rheumatism, which was | the foundation of the other ailments. | Shortly after the last war he was appointed on the District police force, and after a service of Wastungton Market Co. itp. 6s, 108 bid, — asked.

He held g certiti- cate of the Grannen Detective Bureau Com- pany of Cincinnati, The certificate made him a full-tledged detective, so he thought, although it distinctly stated that the company in no way held itself respcnsible for his acts, and also sets forth the instruc- tion that the holder of the certificate! has to operate under the laws of the various States. In short, the certificate only shows that Hill is the hoider of the paper aud has no more autuority here thau has any person cuteide of | prison. ‘Moses called in the “Division” this morning and met a young colored woman nated Della | Stovall, who is an inmate of a house on D rect.’ Della is a particularly good- looking colored woman and was dressed in the latest style. Ske was on the street wen the “detective” met her and said he had something for hes ‘hat is it?” asked the girl of the stranger. Then he thougit he would surprise her by springing a warrant on her, but he refused to read it, Off to the police station he took her, and there he exhibited his au- thority for making the arrest and also showed what purported to be a warrant from the hustings court of Roanoke, Va, This paper bore no seal of the court. it was ad- dfessed to the city sergeant and directed him to produce the woman in court on the Ist day of July. At the potice siation the man’s authority was not recogmized and he and the prisoner were sent out. In the meanwhile Hill bad appeared at the Police Court and was refused a warraut. Ail he knew about the affair was that the paper charged the girl with a felony. but what ind of a felony he did not know. ‘he signa~ ture of 8. 8. Brooke, ciezk of the court, was aflixed thereto, Notwithstanding the fact that Hill had been refused a warrant he again proceeded to arrest the girl and told her that she would have to go to Alexandria, He succeeded in getting her as far as the Baitimore and Potomac depot and would probably have taken her neross the river had not — Policeman Lamb been attracted to them. He took both the “detective” and the woman to police headquarters. There it required less than a minute's time to learn from Inspector Hollinberger that the man’s authority was not only valueless, but that he ought to be charged with —_ assault, and so Delia was sent to the Police Court,where Hill had been about an hour before. She pro- cured a warrant for assault, which was served. While at police headquarters Hill was ques tioned about his conduct and the case agamst the girl, but all he knew, he said. was that Law- yer A.J. Oliver of Roanoke had sent him the paper which he said was a warrant, and he had attempted to perform his daty as a detective. He was locked up and will be given a hearing in the Police Court tomorrow. aan Wants to Be Director of the Mint. The applications of Spraille Baden of Helena, Mont,, to be director of the mint and 8.

An Understanding That Republican Incum- bents Shall Serve Out Their Terms—Many Applications on File—Men Who May Be Appointed. It is said upon good authority that the Presi- dent has not yet begun to consider sppoint- ments to offices local to the District of Colum- bin. ‘The President has been so absorbed in hear- ing the appeals of Senators and Representatives for action on offices strictly local to them that he has not had an opportunity to consider any- thing outside of the cases constantly brought to his notice. In the meantime applications are pouring in upon the President for these District offices. ‘The White Rouse files are full of applications for the place of recorder of deeds. There is quite a bulky batch of applica- tions for register of wills and still more for United States marshal. ‘The President has made a rale that the names of these applicants shall not be announced from the files, but they have been stated from time to time in The Sra.

Marshal Ransdell tendered his resignation shortly after the inauguration. ‘The President told him then that he would be in no hurry in the matter. In answer to the Presi- dent's inquiry, Marshal Ransdell told him the date of his appointment, but netther then nor since did Mr. Cleveland intimate to Mr. Rans- dell as to when ne migint expect a successor, ‘The general impression is that Mr. AL AL Wilson will succeed the mon who four years ago succeeded him, although that impres rion has not prevented a number of the local democrats from intimating to the Presi- dent a willingness to uccept the office, Mr. Wilson out of the was, Mr. Lawrence Gardner cems to have a good, if not the best chance.

See Ee MR. CLEVELAND AND THE OFFICES. Indications That the “Faithful” Will Get Their Reward. There is growing indication that the extreme civil service reformers, who are now beginning to be disturbed by some of the dismissals and appointments that are being made, will a great deal more to think about in the course of time. While many of the Gemocratic statesmen who are at this time devoting their attention to the question of appointments are wor- ried that the ax does not fall a few more times to the hour, there is an impression, general enough to indicate that there is some grounds for it, that in the fullness of time there will be @ very complete change in all the offices not pro- tected bs the civil service law, and that the appointments to the places will be fairly apportioned among the democratic workers. A number of democratic Con- gtessmen with whom # Star bas talked agree that Mr. Clew is much more disposed to recognize party ser- vice in his appointments than he was eight years ago, aud that he seems inclined to rely more on the recommendations of the Seantors and members. The latter are encouraged by their understanding of the situation to believe that they are going. in the end, to have somewhat their own way in the matter of patronage. Some are very impatient because “things do not move fast enough,” and occastonally a member runs against a counter influence which interferes with his wishes end gets him in trouble. One member who eame to Washington yes terday with 2 lot of indorsements for a candi- date for a fourth-cinss t office in has district, which he had notified the depart- ment that he was going to file, found that an appointment of some one else to the place had just been made at the instance of a Senator and @ cabinet With a feeling of great the — Congressman entered a protest, with a request that the appointment "be reconsidered, but the probability is that the appointment, which the cabinet officer inessted on, will stand. ‘THE SITUATION IN VIRGINIA.
