Boyle says that at Havana it was reported that the little village of Dagua, about 120 miles to the eastward, had been almost entifely demolished, apd that about 200 souls had perished. The report was very meager, and no es- timate of the damage done to property could be ascertained. Of the reported destruction of more than balf of the town of San Domingo, Capt. Boyle said he had heard nothing. ——— DROWNED AT CAPE MAY. Fishing Boat Upset as It Was Cross- ing the Bar. CAPE MAY, N. J., October 3.—Peter Ex- strom, a fisherman, was drowned today by the upsetting of his boat as he and his Fartner, Perry Haldeman, were going over the treacherous Cold Spring bar. The two men take daily trips out to the fishing banks, and early today prepared to go on their_regular cruise. The sea was very rough, and the surf on the bar was un- usually heavy. The men had got almost through the heavy trovgh when a huge breaker upset their craft. Exstrom was an expert swimmer, but the heavy undercur- rent carried him down in a few minutes. His partner was fortunate enough to catch the boat as it turned over, and held on un- til assistance arrived. He was nearly ex- hausted when taken from the water. —_—.___. THE CZAR’S CONDITION. It is Claimed at St. Petersburg Not to Be Alarming. LONDON, October 3.—The Daily News’ correspondeat at Berlin says that the czar will stay in Lividia until November. He will then go to Corfu. It is probable that he will also spend so. time cruising in the Mediterranean. A dispatch to the Standard from Vienna says: The Politische Correspondenz is in- formed by its St. Petersburg correspondent that the czar’s condition is not such as to eccas.cn alarm. The secretion of albuminous matter has never exceeded 1 per cent dur- ing the last six weeks, but has varied be- tween 3-4 and 1 per cent, which is very low. It is likely to be reduced by the pres- ent treatment. — MR. HESING’S INTERPRETATION. How He Regards Gen. Jones’ I tions as to Letter Carriers. CHICAGO, Ill, October 3.—Postmaster Washirgton Hestag today, in an interview regarding First Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Jones’ instructions regarding Sunday inspection of letter carriers, said: “I am very glad at the position taken by Mr. Jores, for it aot only fully substantiates my views, sanctioas my actions, but even goes further than I had expected.” truc- Actirg Postmaster General Jones. when shown the statement of Postmaster Hesing of Chicago concerning the inspection of letter carriers, said that he had nothing to say in reply. —____ Senator Patton Beaten.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 3.—The death of Frederick Ryan, a capitalist, in the rail- road accident near Yonkers, N. Y., a few days ago, has made Mabel Ryan Edwards, his daughter, heiress to a large fortune. Two years ago she became stage struck and eloped with a mere boy. They went to Chi- cago, Mabel performing in an “Illuston” and “Living Picture” at the world’s fair, and afterward to California, where Mabel worked at the midwinter fair as a gum girl and as the “aerial lady” who floats through space in an illusion. ——_—.—_ Made Insane by Coxey’s Speeches.

Mr. Lamoreux Says His Force Cannot Protect the Public Lands. ‘The fraud division of the general land of- fice has become a very small affair com- pared to Its importance a few years ago. This year there is appropriated but $60,000 for the maintenance of special agents, while a few years ago the appropriations amount- ed to two and three hundred thousand dol- lars and even more. Now there are but twenty special agents in the field, and twelve of them will be dismissed in Novem- ber, while a few years ago there were armies of them in the western states. There was a general revulsion against the methods of special agents owing to tife troubles growing out of rigid rules enforced by Gen. Sparks in the first administration of Pres- ident Cleveland. It made itself felt in Con- gt2ss, when representatives of public land states insisted that the people should be an- noyed as little as possible by these special agents, and cut down the appropriations for them. Then there were laws passed curing many of the errors developed by the special agents and curtailing the work they had to do. The land department still insists, how- ever, that there is yet great necessity for these agents, and Commissioner Lamoreux says that, with the force he has, he cannot protect the public lands. At present the agents are looking after swamp lands, tim- ber cepredations and fraudulent entries. Owing to their limited number they are or- dered from one place to another frequently and few are allowed to remain on continu- ous work or in any one place for a great length of time. — +» INDIAN ADVANCEMENT. This is Shown tn the Reports From Various Agencies. Gen. Armstrong, acting commissioner of Indian affairs, says that the annual reports received from the various Indian agencies show that on the whole the Indians were reascnably prosperous during the last fiscal year. The death rate has not been large, nor does there appear to be any decrease in the number of Indians under the charge of the government. The year was one of peace, there having been very few dis- turbances or troubles usually occurring among the Indians. It is evident, from the reports received, that the tribal relations of the Indians are becoming less binding, and the individual Indians are becoming more Independent of tribe and more self-reliant. The allotting agents of the government have been kept busy the past year, many of the Indians evincing desires to own their own land. The Indian authorities believe that in allotting tracts of land to individual Indians the longest step has been made toward civilization, and that the Indians are more easily governed by the agents and the bureau when each has a personal and individual interest in his home. The re- ports show that Indian education ts pro- gressing quite satisfactorily, and that the Indians show greater willingness than here- tofore to avail themselves of the school ad- vantages offered by the government. o+—____ Two Wills Filed. The will of the late George W. Lighter, dated July 22, 1884, was filed today. The entire estate of the deceased, real, personal and mixed, is given to the widow of the deceased, Sarah Elizabeth Lighter, her heirs and assigns. Mrs. Lighter ts also named as executrix.

Wm. T. Blake is named as executor. ees Struck by a Cable Car. Cable car No. 203 struck John Speeden of 908 10th street southeast near 2d street and Pennsylvania avenue at an early hour this morning, and slightly injured him. The ac- cident was caused by Mr. Speeder stepping in front of the car. The injured man re- ceived an ugly cut in the back of his head, which was dressed by Dr. Hodges. Last night about 10 o’clock Miss Elizabeth Lewis of 428 6 1-2 street fell from cable car 207 at New Jersey avenue and B street southeast, and received a painful scalp wound. After the wound was dressed by Dr. Hodges she was sent to her home in the ambulance. Dr. E. J. Purcell of No. 483 N street fell from a cable car at Pennsylvania avenue ard 20th street last evening and received slight bruises about the face and hands, which were dressed at Whiteside & Wal- ton’s drug store. a Assistant Secretary Dabney’s Return. Assistant Secretary Dabney !s now at the head of the Agricultural Department, in the absence of Secretary Morton, having ar- rived here with his family yesterday. He was called from the city on Saturday by the {illness of his wife, and took such pre- cautions as were necessary in notifying the Presidentof his contemplated absence so that in case it was prolonged an appointment of a temporary secretary could be made. For- tunately he was away but one day, so that was the only time during which thé depart- ment was without an official head. sca eT A Sad Death. Mr. Gilbert Francis Dawson, a son of the late Mr. Geo. F. Dawson, a prominent resi- dent of East Washington, died Monday evening at his residence, 22 7th street south- east, in the twenty-second year of his age. He ‘had been married about six months, and beside his young widow his mother and two sisters survive him. Mr. Dawson was for many years a chorister of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, and the fu- neral will take place from there tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. ee The Potomac Terra Cotta Company. The Potomac Terra Cotta Company of the District of Columbia have conveyed to George Mason for $50,000 a@ tract of land containing about twenty-two acres, also all the fixtures, machinery and per- sonal property of the said company. The plant of the company, hereby conveyed, is situated on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad the station known as Terra Cotta. The transfer is made with the unanimous concent of the stockholders. DOING’S APPOINTMENT It Was Freely Discussed About the Court House Today. What Chief Justice Bingham Says— ° “Warden Leonard Summoned Be- fore the Justices. The arypointment of ex-Deputy Marshal Chas. H. Doing by Warden Leonard as a jail guard caused an unusual amount of discussion about the City Hall, because Do- ing ts the man who permitted Capt. H. W. Howgate to escape twelve years ago. Said one prominent official of the District Supreme Conrt to a Star reporter this af- ternoon: “What in the world was Leonard thinking of? Why, he couldn’t have done a more unwise thing. He certainly knew that Doing was the man from whom Howgate escaped; if he didn't he should have, for about everybody else knew, for it was pub- lished in the papers last week. “Capt. Leonard might have known, too, that the appointment of Doing, particuiarly just now, would cause his action to be severely criticised. If the man had been appointed to fill an existing vacancy it would, perhaps, not have been so bad, but @ man had to be dismissed to raake room for Doing. I very much doubt if the court will allow the appointment to stand.” Must Have Lost His Head. Another high official of the court, one who is believed to be a close friend to Warden Leonard, spoke of Doing’s appoint- ment in a similar strain, remarking that Mr. Leonard seemed to have entirely lost his head in the matter. “Why,” said this official, “if Leonard was so anxious to ap- point Doing, why in the name of sense didn’t he do it at some other time? Why didn’t he appoint the man at some time or walt until the Howgate case was over?” The Chief Justice’s Explanation. To a Star reporter Chief Justice Bing- ham stated that he had approved the ap- pointment of Mr. Doiag. “But,” explained the chief justice, “I did so entirely ignorant ef the fact that he was the man from whom Capt. Howgate escaped. Indeed, 1 didn’t know it was the same man until I saw it in Monday’s Star. Capt. Leonard said nothing about it to me. He said he was a good man, and Mr. Doing was recommended for appoirtment by Maj. L. P. Wiiliams, one of the clerks of the court, and by Mr. earnard,of the firm of Edwards & Barnard. Persone lly, I know nothing of the man. When asked whether the court would al- low the appoittment to stand, the chief justice replied: “I do not know. That is a matter to be hereafter considered by the court.” Had Leonard Before Them. It was understood that the matter was discussed by several members of the court this afternoon, but whether or not any action was taken could not be learned. It is known that Warden Leonard was called before them this afternoon, presumably to have him explain his reasons for appoint- ing Mr. Doing. One of the members of the court, one belleved to have been a warm supporter of Mr. Leonard’s application for appointment as warden, is stated on ex- cellent authority to have expressed a most decided opposition to Doing’s appointment. ‘This member of the court is sald to have been profoundly astonished when he read of the appointment; is reported to have said that it was a case of either Warden Leon- ard or Guard Doing going. Mr. Doing Relieved. At 2:45 o'clock Warden Leonard tele- phoned from the jail that he had relieved Mr. Doing from duty. He said that he had the greatest confidence in the world in re- gard to Doing’s competency for the place, yet he thought that, under the circum- stances, he had better relieve him. He said he had arrived at this conclusion himself and had notified Mr. Doing. ——_—_ TO PREVENT HIPPODROMING. The Baltimore and New York base ball clubs will play for the Temple cup accord- ing to the rules and regulations prepared by the committe? appointed by the league last spring, or they will not play at all. Such was the decision of President Young of the Nationaal League this n.orning after receiving a letter from the other member of the committee, Mr. C. H. Byrne. Mr. Young dezided that as the National League had given him and Mr. Byrne full authority to provide the regulations gov- erning a contest for the Temple cup that the regulations must stand, and that the agreement made by Capts. Hanlon and Ward to divide the receipts equally was in conflict with these regulations, and any games played under the agreement would be simply exhibition games, and not for the cup. Mr. Young thinks, however, that the de- cision of the committee will not interfere with the series of games which were sched- uled to begin tomorrow. He said the cap- tains of the two teams will simply be forced to agree to the 65 and 35 percentage ar- rangement. Mr. Young has received many letters and telegrams from lovers of base ball all over the country scouting the “equal division” agreement between Hanlon and Ward. May Be No Games. BALTIMORE, Md., October 3.—The con- troversy between base ball magnates re- garding the Temple cup games scheduled to begin tomorrow is causing great uneasi- ness in Baltimore. Manager Hanlon, when shown Messrs. Young and Temple's state- ment to the effect that the original plan of a 65 and 35 per cent division of receipts must be adhered to, sald: “I have just received a telegram from Manager Ward expressing a desire to re- scind the agreement arrived at between Mr. Ward and myself last week to divide the gate receipts equally and abide by the com- mittee’s decision. “You may say,” said Manager Hanlon, “that the Baltimore players refuse positive- ly to play the serie’ except on the divide pian agreed between Mr. Ward and my- self.”” “Do you really mean, Mr. Hanlon, that if the New Yorks refuse to play except on the share and share alike plan that the games will not be played?”’ was inquired. Pe most emphatically do,” warmly replied e. ———> FATALLY INJURED. Wm. Cassidy Dies After Being Struck by a Train on the Long Bridge. An Alexandria local train, on its way north, struck and fatally injured an old man named William Cassidy near the Long bridge causeway about 6:30 o'clock yester- day. He died an hour later. Engineer Chambers stopped the train as soon as he discovered what had happened, and the un- conscious man was brought to the depot on the train and removed to the Emergency Hospital. When the accident happened Cassidy was walking along the track, com- ing in the direction of the city. It is thought that he had been over in Virginia or on the flats and preferred to walk along the track rather than in the dusty road on the other side of the fence. It is against the rules of the raiJroad company for pedestrians to fol- low the tracks, but the railroad men find it impossible to have the rule observed. When the Injured man was picked up he was in- sensibl2 and did not regain consciousness before he died. Coroner Hammett viewed the body this morning and began an inquest at 3 o'clock this afternoon, The Aldrich Case. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that he would call up the cose of Frank Aldrich. late District sealer of weights and measures, not later than the 15th Instant, and perhaps a few days earlier. There are, as heretofore stated In The Star, two indictments pend- ing against Aldrich, both charging him with forging the name of Judge C. C. Cole to numerous promissory notes. Mr. A. A. Lipscomb has been retained by Aldrich, and it is understood that a most deter- mined defense will be made by the indicted ran. ——.__.

LISTLESS DEMOCRATS The Michigan Repiblicans Believed to Have a Lead-Pipe Cinch. CONFIDENCE..OF SENATOR McMILLAN S. S. Olds a Strong: Candidate for . the Short FerneSenatorship. THE VARfOUS DISTRICTS Speclal Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. GRAND, RAPIDS, Mich., October 3, 1894. Spencer O. Fisher this week enters upon his cam pajgn in earnest, and from now until election will be on the stump, speaking every day, and many days several times. This week he is working the southern tier of counties, and next week will go to the upper peninsula to spend ten days among the miners, lumbermen and homesteaders. Returning, he will tour the western part of the state and then work over to the east, clusing the campaign at kome. Thus far, the democrats have been lacking in interest and enthusiasm. They have been freely conceding that the republicans had a lead- pipe clinch, and not a few had admitted that they didn’t care, From now unti election day, however, things will be made to hum. The campaign mangers will endeavor to infuse a little life and ginger into the brethre., inspire them with new hops, heal up old wounds and swing the dissatisfied back into line. Among the distinguished democrats who will swing around the Michigan circle dur- ing the month are Vice President Steven- son, Speaker Crisp, Congressman McMillan of Tennessee and ex-Governor Campbell and Gen. Cary of Ohio. It ts possible, also, that Representative Bland and Governor Patti- son of Pennsylvania will also Visit the state. Assistant Secretary of State Edwin F. Uhl of this city will come home the latter part of the month to make’a few speeches. The outside speakers have been secured chiefly through Don M. Dickinson, who stands the big_end of the state campaigns. They will undoubtedly bear down heavily on national issues, defending’ the democratic position on the tariff and discussing the nancial ques- tion from the silver point of view. The state talent will push the state issues, re- opening the scandals of last winter and charging extravagance, corruption, favorit- ism to railroads, and kindred evils against the administration. Republican Confidence. The republicans will have McKinley through the state speaking at Detroit Oc- tober U, Lima and this city the day fol- lowing, and possibly at one or two other points. Reed may come, but it is not yet definitely decided. Other speakers will a so be in, but the republicans are so su- premely confident that a chief dependence will be placed upon home talent. Senator McMillan has been making a tour iooking after his fences and attending.the county and district fairs. He sa; the republi- cans will carry the state by 30,000 as a low conservative estimate, He is very confi- dent of his own re-election to the Senate d does not express any particular alarm at the number of unlustructed legislators nominated nor of. the repubiican splits that have come in several of the districts. His confidence jis ngt entirely without foundation. No candidate has risen up against him for gne thing. Then, at least three-fourths of the xepublican ‘members of two years agg have been renominated. Two years ago S.S. Qlds set up the pins in the interest of, the Jate Senator F. B. Stockbridge won with many yotes to spare. Olds is working. for McMillan this year, and it is safe tp say that he knows where most of the old members will stand on the senatorial’ question. This very cir- cumstance makes Olds a formidable can- didate for the short term senatorship, even overshadowing Julius ,.Caesar Burrows, whose friends speak of,bim as the logical candidate. Olds, by redson of the help he extended two years ago, and of the belp he will give them ‘this will establish @ pretty solid claim té the friendship of the ‘old ‘niembérs 'who will be returned. Olds is not an orator and was never known to go on the stump, but he knows where to find the wires and how to pull them. Burrows is a candidate for re-election to Congress, and his district is so surely re- publican that he will be able to devote most of his time to stumping the state. Senator John Patton of this city is also booked clear up to election day, and will begin stumping this week. Stephenson of Menominee and Hubbell of Houghton are in the field, but little in regard to their prospects has come down from the upper peninsula. If one would pull out the other would be assured the solid upper peninsula vote, and if not elected would probably be In a position to dictate an election. Sth, 6th and 12th Districts. In the ninth district the democrats have rominated W. T. Evans of Pentwater to make the run against Roswell P. Bishop. Evans is only twenty-nine years old, but he is a young man of high ability, a strong orator, and one who tan’get out among the farmers and workingmen and be one of them. The district is heavily republican, but Mr. Evans hopes to make a good show- ing, even if not elected. Bishop is an old soldier, with an empty right sleeve, and is an experienced campaigner. In the sixth district the democrats have nominated E. R. Willcox of Pontiac. He is a farmer and manufacturer; served in the legislature in 1866-7, and has been an ad- vocate of free silver for several years. In the legislature he introduced a bill which led to the admission of women students to the state university. His acquaintance in the district is not extensive, but he hopes to nake himself better known berore election day. His opponent, D. D. Aitken, is very ng with the farmers, because of his free silver views, is high up in the order of Maccabees, which is very strong around Flint, and is also up in the A, P. A, The populists will make an independent nomina- tion, and this, if nothing else, will insure Aitken’s re-election. In the twelfth, or upper peninsular, dis- trict the democrats and populists will prob- ably unite on Rush Culver of Escanaba. Mr. Culver was receiver of the land office at Marquette, but upon Secretary Smith's decision against homesteaders, resigned his sinecure for the purpose of making the congressional run. He will run on the homestead issue, insisting that the home- steaders are rightfully entitled to their lands, and in doing so will necessarily run athwart the administration. The district is normally 1,500 to 4,000 republican. The pop- ulists are claiming to be making rapid growth, the accesstons to their ranks com- ing chiefly from among the miners and workingmen who have always voted the republican ticket. Congressman Stepheng son, renominated for a third term, is al- ready at work, kéeeping"his fences in order. He is not an orto! fact, it is not re- corded that he evér dig'make a speech, but in an old slouch'hat ‘and blue shirt, and rough clothing, hé’knoéks about among the boys, as though He were one of them, and they seem to all vote for him. Republigan ,. Districts. No nominations; have yet been made in the thirtieth, Burfows') district, nor in the eleventh, Avery’g, distfict. Both districts are so solidly republican that the demo- crats are finding:it hard to find a stand- ard bearer. In the fourth, Dr. Thomas’, district the demotrats have nominated Dr. Weaver, and the populigts have also put up a ticket, with the resujt that Thomas will be elected with handsdown. In this, the fifth, district the, demograts will nominate this week, with Gen. I. G. Rutherford or M. M. Houseman, as the probable choice. The republican nominee, Wm. Alden Smith, 1s not a strong candidate politically, and if the democrats were united and earnest they could defeat him, but with the populists in the field with a candidate, Smith's chances are considered very good. —__.>—__.

TO PROMOTE HARMONY Scoretary Lamont Goes to New York to Bring the Factions Together. This is Necessary to Elect the State Ticket—Kickers May Be Allowed to Name the City Ticket. Secretary Lamont leaves the city at 4 o'clock today for New York. It is under- stood that his trip is made for the purpose of endeavoring to bring about harmony be- tween the warring democratic factions. He was visited this morning by State Senator McClelland and another New York political friend, and it is said that they presented to the Secretary the necessity of doing something to counteract, or, if possible, to prevent, the revolt of the Fairchild-Grace- Shepherd people against the state ticket. The Secretary and Senator McClelland stand together in a neutral attitude and their friends believe they can produce a harmonious result. It is thought here by some that the result of the row will be that the kickers will withdraw their open op- Position to the ticket and in return will be allowed to nominate a straight democratic city and county ticket. In this event Tam- many will be called off in the city. —__o-+—_____ THE OLD GUARD. Interesting Meeting Last Night—Inci- dents of the Pittsburg Trip. An interesting meeting of the Old Guard was held last night at the armory, 1412 Pennsylvania avenue, it being the first gathering of the comrades since their re- turn from Pittsburg. ‘The stay-at-homes, desirous of hearing a report of the trip, some time was devoted to an interesting recital of the events con- nected with one of the most pleasant and successful excursions ever made to a Grand Army of the Republic encampment, the little “trotters” of the Mount Pleasant Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps coming in for a large share of the praise for their splendid appearance and good marching. The re- ceptions tendered, and attentions showered upon the. corps, especially at McKeesport and Johnstown, were of so enthusiastic a character that it was decided t. express the appreciation of the membersaip in a set of resolutions for publication in the newspapers of those cities, for which pur- pose a committee, consisting of Messrs. Gunning, McCabe and Thompson, were ap- pointed. Also, that the souvenir badge of the corps be sent to the ladies of the W. R. C. of Emory Fisher Post of Johnstown, who, by their attentions, aided in the suc- cess of the banquet given the corps. The enlargement of the membership of the corps, with the addition of several new features, opened up a discussion on the advisability of revising the constitution, which resulted in the appointment of Messrs. Hendricks, Patten and Dinsmore as @ committee to take the matter under con- sideration. A resolution was introduced and adopted relative to a revision of the honorary mem- bers’ roll, with a view to eliminating all dead wood. At this early date the question of the Loutsville encampment was broached, and it was decided that as soon as the citizens’ committee of that city was organized to send on a committee to secure quarters and make further arrangements for the contemplated visit of the A. H. Van Deusen, late lieutenant of the oo. was elected an honorary member, Wm. M. Kirby of Pittsburg, Pa., Rev. J. L. Maguire, Thomas Potts and James Quinn of Johnstown, Pa., Geo. B. Durham of Louisville, Ky., Warren C. Stone and Sam. W. Stinemetz were elected honorary contributing members, Joseph H. Lawrence was appointed a member of the recruiting committee. — aes BASE BALL AT ALBAUGH’S. The Temple Cup Games to Be Repre- sented There, More interest will be felt in the coming base ball games between the Baltimores and the New Yorks for the Temple cup than in any games since those between the old Detroit champions of the league and the St. Louis. Doubtless some will go from here to Baltimore to see the opening game tomorrow, but many more will avail them- selves of the chance to go to Albaugh’s Opera House, where the games will be re- produced in detail by the Crompton system. The diamond ts represented upon a large curtain and every player and every play is distinguished. In Baltimore as many as 5,000 persons have witnessed the games re- produced in way and much enjoyed them. air He Named Him. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny appeared in Judge Miller's court today in a new role. He had not used any water, but had chris- tened an unknown negro infant “Owen Moreland.” Just why he selected this name is not known, except, as he says, that he thought it as good as any other, and one of which the young one ought to be provd tn years to come. The child had been given to a colored woman named Laura Simpson, with a request that Laura care for the bo} for a few minutes. A few minutes passed, but the mother did not return, and later Laura ap>lied to the officers to help her out of the difficulty. “What's the child’s name?” Judge Miller asked when he heard the name mentioned: “Owen Moreland,” answered Mr. Mul- why. : “Mullowny what?” asked the judge, smil- Ing. “Owen Moreland,” explained the prose- cutor, blushing. “How did the child get this name if its parents are not known?” “I remed him,” responded Mr. Mullowny. The judge said no more about the prose- cutor and the child, but made an order turning “Owen” over to the board of chil- dren's guardians. ae Royal Love Affairs.

The following report relative to the in- spection of the sewer trap at mouth of alley adjoining premises 406 ist street northwest was received by the Commis- sioners today from the health officer: “I find this trap, as well as the gutter leading to the same, in foul and flithy con- dition. In the interior of this square Is a row of houses occupied by colored persons, and the waste from these premises empties into the alley, which necessarily becomes foul, as the water has a lorg distance to flow before reaching the trap referred to. The grading in the interior of this square is such that neariy the entire drainage of same enters this particular trap. There is another trap in the northern end of square, but this catches a comparatively smali amount of drainage. It is his opinion that this nuisance can- not be abated, except by flushing the trap at the mouth of alley, and laying a sewer in the rear of the houses referred to above, so that proper sewer connections could be made. ‘The Poundmaster’s Work.

There is no liquidation outside of the in- dustrials,and as all sales must be met by the actual delivery of certificates of the amount and kind sold, buying is compulsory in the absence of a borrowing supply. General conditions are somewhat more encouraging, but the sentiment of the street, while favor- ing a rally from present prices, is not favor- able to prolonged improvement. Higher prices and a shaking out of an undesirable following of small operators will result in a reversal of short selling by the interests most prominently identified with the recent decline. Sugar resumed its old position at the head of the column and again sustained its repu- tetion for versatility. Opening frac’ below closing figures the price declined to 82 3-4.
