He spoke quickly and sharply and invariably referred to Holmes as “the individual This amused even Holmes, who smiled broadly. whenever the term was used. Mr. Graham produced the note identified by Mrs. Piteael yesterday, as the one which Holmes pretended to pay at the St. Louis bank, and for which purpose he took $5,000 froia’ her. Mr. Samuels said the body of the note was in his handwriting. In tne latter part ef April, or early in May, 184, he said, there was in Fort Worth a man known as H.M. Pratt. It was “this individual.” He Was overseeing the erection of a three-story structure as agent for Benton T. Lyman, the supposed owner. Pratt came to the witness and tried io negotiate a loan of $16,000 by mortgaging the property, and after some transactions, the note wi drawn up and signed “Benton T. Lyman, It was dated May 16, 1804. Subsequently Pratt claimed to have lost it and told wit- ness he had drawn up a second note sim- jar to this. The note was originally drawn to the order of B. P. Samuels, brother of the witness. The note was never indorsed rox, the loan made, however. Witness identified both the or!ginal note and the substitute, Mr. Graham seeking to Prove that the note was never a legal doc- men st witness of the day or Gary of the insurance company alled, Mr. Graham saying he pro- posed to prove by him that Holmes was a much-married n, and that Miss Yoke was not his lawful wife, as he asserted, and is therefore incompetent to testify. Mr. Gary said he had seen at the prison- ers house in Willamette, Ill, a woman representing herself as Mrs. H. H. Hoimes. He identified a photograph of her. Last December witness saw Holmes in Moyam- sing prison, this city, when he told him of his visit to Willamette. Holmes then said he wanted to write a letter to his wife, and Gid so, asking the witness to mail it. The envelope was not aadressed, Holmes leav- ing it to the ness. bsequently wWit- ness hal spoken to Miss Yoke, known as Howard. She was not the woman he seen in Willamette. Holmes told the witness he had deposited $1,006 of the in- strance money with a Mr. Blackman of Chicago, his real ate agent, so that “Mrs. Holmes could draw upon it.” The defense entered a formal objection to all the evidence of Mr. Gary coneerning Miss “Yoke, bui e overruled. The letter was read to the jur, Two other letters were offered, written by Holmes, one from Columbus, to H. M. Cass, Chicago, agent of the insurance com pany, givirg him a detatled description of Pitezel for the purpose of identification. e483 Holmes Breaks Down. At this point a side door in the room Was opened and Miss Yoke or Mrs. How- ard, the alleged wife, was ushered in. She Was at once calied to the stand, and gave her testimony in a whisper, which was in- terpreted by the erier. For the first time Holmes broke down. He suzed steadily at her for a few seconds, while his hands twitched nervously and his lips opened and closed, but she carefully avoided meeting his eyes. Then he suddenly bent forward over a little desk in his dock and the tears began le down his cheeks.

She Will Stand Trial for the Shooting. Ernest As was stated in The Star some time ago would surely ve the case, the grand jury this afternoon returned an indictment against Miss Elizabeth M. Flagler, daugh- ter of Gen.‘Flagier of the army, charging her with manslaughter, in causing the death of Ernest Green by sheoting him on the 2d of last August at her father’s resi- dence on California avenue. A coroner's jury held that while the shot was carelessly fired there was no malice shown op thé part of Miss Flagler, and she was accordingly discharged from the dus- tcdy of the police into which she had sur- rendered herself immediately after the death of the bey. A few days after the inquest the unfor- tunate young woman was required to give bail in the sum of $10,000 to await the ac- tion of the grand jury. Early this month Witnesses were called before the grand jury, and an indictment for manslaugiter was ordered to be returned. + To Be Tried in January. Speaking of the case this afternoon to a Star reporter, District Attorney Birney stated thet he would hardly be able to call the case up for trial before January next, because of the engagement of himself end Miss Flagler's counsel, Messrs. R. Ross Perry and Jere M. Wilson, in other cases. Just when Miss Miagler woull bb called upon to plead to the indictment, Mr. Rir- ney could not say, nor could he say that she wovld be rezuired to come in court for the purpose of giving a new bond. The penalty for manslaughter is im- prisonment not exceeding ten years and a fine not exceeding $1,000. THE FIDELITY CASES. Mr. Dingman Went on the Stand This Morning. Special Dispatch to Tho Evenirg Star. PITTSBURG, Pa., October 31.—The trial of the Fidelity Building and Loan Associa- tion officers, which was begun yesterday, was continued before Judge Porter in the criminal court today. Mrs. Emma Hawkins is prosecutor in the cases. Attorney W. J. Brennen is conducting the case for the commonwealta and ex-Judge H. B. Moulton of Washington, D. C:, and Attorneys W. 1. 8. Thompson, A. B. Stevenson and Thos. Henry are counsel for the defendant. Detective Jno. MeTighe was the first wit- ness sworn. He said that complaint had been made to the police department of the city by peopie who had put money into the pssociation, and it was finally decided to make a raid upon the offices of the asso- ciation. Mrs. Emma Hawkins, the prosecutor; Mrs. Julla Mackay and Mary Kelly test!- fied to making deposits with the assoc!a- tions. They said they had given notices of withdrawal, and were unable to get their money out. Harrison Dingman, the president of the assoctation, who arrived from Washington, D. yesterday, who was indicted, but the cases against whom were nolle prossed, was on the stand this morning. Nearly the whole time was spent in identifying cer- tificates and writings. ——— FOR THE HEAD OF THE TICKET. Leaders on Both ides Concentrating Their Efforts. Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, M4., October 31.—The im- pression that rext Tuesday's clection will be chiefly a fight between Hurst and Lowndes is’ growing every day, and the leaders of both parties are concentrating their efforts to insure the election of their respective nominees for governor, and the other members of the state ticket, as well as the other party rominees, appear to be completely overshadowed by the fight for the governorship. ‘The prevailfig impres- sion is that Lowndes will run well ahead of his ticket, while Hurst will fall behind. ‘The democratic leaders realize how critl- cal the situation is, and the state head- quarters is a very gicomy place these days. The leaders still keep a stiff upper lip, but it is evident to a close observer that their confidence is a mere pretense, and some of them admit in private conversations that Mr. Hurst's chance of election is exceed- ingly slim. A number of prominent county politicians of beth parties were in town this morning. The republicans unite in saying that the Lowrdes stock is way above par in their counties, aid the democrats, while stoutly maintaining that their local tickets are in no danger, shake their heads dubiously when Mr. Hurst's name is mentioned. Both parties are well supplied with cam- paign funds, and money will be used lav- ishly on election day. The democrats are much more gerterously supplied in this re- spect than their opponents, and upon this fact the confidence of those who expect to see Hurst elected is based. There is much complaint among demo- erats over the fact that Governor Brown is doing nothing for the ticket. He has not raised his hand or said one word for Mr. Hurst, and it is reported that he declines to do so. Many other deinccrats of promi- nence are being eppealed to to help the or- ganization out, but all dechre. — Ren Sold at Anction. Ratcliffe, Sutton & Co., auctioneers, sold yesterday at public sale the apartment house on 3d street near the corner of G@ -et northwest, the lot being fifty feet by ty-two feet nine inches, to Weller and Repetti for $40,000, Thomas Dowling & Co., a yesterday at public sale two tracts o road near Benning in the sub- inte and the other two a Orme for $3,400; also at r Tenleytown to Charles Wheat- taining 11.6 to Frank ( ley for $1,1 — ken to St. znbeth's. Timothy B. Mangum, the crank whose ar- rest yesterday was made when he called at police headquarters and handed over a key which he said belonged to the Pacific rail- road, was adjudged insane by the police surgeons, and this afternoon’ he was scut to St. Blizabeth’s. Here is another suggestion for the business man who adver- tises or ought to advertise. Advertising space is valuable in proportion to the extent and character of circulation of the advertising medium. The Star's advertising rate for a given space for three months or more is less than 5 cents per line, without changes; for ten thousand lines to be used within a year, changes at will, the rate is 7} cents per line. The Star’s circulation is be- lieved to be five times ‘that of any afternoon paper in Wash- ington—no other afternoon pa- per makes public its circulation, On this basis it is therefore easy to calculate that a fair rate for space in other afternoon papers would be one cent a line where The Star charges five and 14 cents a line as against The Star’s charge of 7} cents. CARS RUNNING TODAY ————— And Policemen Distributed All Along the Line. ——_—. THE ANACOSTIA STRIKE SITUATION ———— No Disorder Reported on the Rail- road Tcday. Se HIRING NEW DRIVERS ——————— After the regular edition of The Star went to press yesterday afternoon there were scenes approaching violence at various scints along the line of the Anacostia rail- read. These were described in a postscript of The Star. A car, which was thrown from the track near the corner of G and 11th streets southeast by strikers or their sympathizers, so as to block the traflic on the road, was surrounded by several hun- dred -persons, and for a time it looked as-if there might be serious trouble. Subse- quently the strikers and their friends con- fined their operations to 11th and N streets, and at this-point all cars were stopped. Some of them were thrown across the track, and here again a great crowd as- sembled. The employes of the company sent out from Anacostia, however, man- aged to get all of the cars to the stable. One of them, however, was badly wrecked by the crowd. No further attempt was made to operate the cars last night. This morning several of the cars left the stable and were running up to a late hour today without molestation, ‘The Police in Readiness. At the meeting of the lieutenants of the different precincts at police headquarters this morning Maj. Moore, superintendent of the police department, had a few words to say with reference to the strike situation. In an informal way he told the lieutenants that order must be preserved and the prop- erty of the street railway company must be protected. He directed the lieutenants of the precincts through which the tracks of the Anacostia line run to place extra men along the line and if there were any sigrs of disorder to check it instantly. Maj. Moore himself kept pretty close to his office, and it was understood that if there Was any outbreak of any sort he was to be notified without delay, but up to this after- noon he had heard nothing from the scene and said that he felt safe in saying that all was quiet. In the opinion of the police of- ficials the rain, which fell heavily all the morning, would have the effect of putting a stop to any general congregation of the employes of the road for the purpose of making trouble. It was said that if there should be any outbreak it would probably rot occur along the tracks of the other reads which are used by the Anacostia road. A Driver Arrested. William A. Tate, a new driver, was ar- rested last evening on a warrant sworn out by L. Lusby, a striker, who charged Tate with threatening to hit him with a brake handle. Tate was taken to the substation and releaséd on depositing $10 collateral. Mr. Griswold sent word to court that he would like to be present when the case came up and that he could not be there today. The case therefore went over till tomorrow. Arbitration Proposed. During the evening Mr. J. C. Leonard, a merchant of Anecostia, called at President Griswold’s residence and stated that he had been requested by Master Workman Lawrence of the Railway Assembly to asi Mr. Griswold if he would be willing to re- ceive a committee composed of Mr. Law- rence and others and see if the existing trouble could not be adjusted. Mr. Gris- wold replied in writing as follows: ANACOSTIA, D. C., October 30, 189; J.C. Leonard, Esq. Dear Sir—In reply to your message from Mr. Lawrence, president of the Street Rail- yay Assembly, asking if I would meei him and others upon the subject matters look- ing to adj.stment, I have the honor to re- ply: The men we have hired and hire be- fore any adivstment must first be consid- ered and continued. If Mr. Lawrence will furnish sufficient bonds, together with any men we re-enploy, for faithful perform- ance of any adjustrent or thing agreed upon, I shall be pleased to have yourself, Mr. Tolson and George H. Gray meet Mr. Lawrence and two others. Very respect- fully yours, H. A. GRISWOLD, President. Mr. Leonard said to a Star reporter that he was not particularly interested in the matter of the strike, except that, as he considered the strike an unfortunate affair, he wanted to get the difficulty settled as quickly as possible. Similar sentiments were expressel by Messrs. Charles R. Burr, W. H. Jordan and others, some of whom also stated that the majority of the people of the town are opposed to a strike at this time. Resumed Work Teduy. This morning the eight old drivers, who were given cars yesterday by Mr. Griswold, again resumed their places. Many applica- ticns were received by Mr. Griswold from mn anxious to go to work on the terms offered by the president, $1.41 for eight trips and $1.26 for seven trips per da; Future Course Undeeide: President Griswold is reticent as to what further steps he will take in reference to the strikers who are charged with inte fering with the operations of the line ye terday, but it is understood attempt to prosecute the leadu An officer of the Railway Assembly said today that Master Workman Lawrence ex ceeded his authority when he wrote to M Griswold Tuesday and infermed him thai the men then ‘in his’ employ would not agree to the terms that had been agreed upcn between the presidef:t and the azsem- *s committee, Messrs. ent, Sears and Baker. and that the matter will be taken up by the assembly at its meeting tonight. ‘At noon today the railway company ¥ cperating the usual numter of cars, whiv vell patronized, and no interference rikers or their friends had been perienced. There was no prospect of ar trouble during ihe day at least. The Situation Todny. Master Workman Lawrence of the Street Railway Assembly was in Anacostia th: morning for a short tire, and while there was given a verbal message from Presid-nt Griswold in reply to one from the former that Mr. Griswold will not consent to have any further interviews with the fc less he puts up a bond or cash forfeit of § that he is able to carry out what he s promise to perform.

President Griswold said toda that he had decided that the drivers of the Ana- costia Railway Company must make the choive between the company and the as- sembly, and he would be glad to have the men in his employ form a union of their ewn. To further the matter he would, he said, give them the use of two furnished rooms, where they might meet and discuss matters of fntuest to them, and when there was anything they wanted, to ask for it, while, for his part, he agreed to grant the request if in his power to do so.

Anacostia Ine. Fearng that treuble might occur, Po.iceman Robie quickly repaired to Hills- dale. No attempt was, however, made by the strikers to interfere with the cars, and after remaining in Hillsdale for a short time, most of them returned to Anacostia. ‘The police arrangements today for the prevention of trouble were quite complete. An officer was stationed every two or three blocks along the entire line of the railway from the Center market to the navy yard bridge. TCO CLOSE*TO HIS HOUSE Secretary Herbert Objects to the Garbige Crematory Site. It to Eight Syuares From His Resi- dence, but the Commissioners Will Probably Accede to His Wishes, Secretary Herbert objects very seriously to the erection of a garbage crematory in square 63, and there is every reason to be- lieve that the Commissioners will insist that the garbage contractor find another site. Yesterday’s mail brought to the Com- missioners a letter from Secretary Herbert, in which it is understood he entered a pro- test agairst the location of the crematory on the site recently approved ‘by the Com- missioners, on account of its nearness to AL. REEVES’ TRIAL i Mrs. Canty Positive in Her Identifi- cation of the Banjoist. HORE SENSATIONS IN THE CASE Lawyer Campbell Carrington Slaps Deputy McCormick's Face. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE ‘The “AL” Reeves assault and attempted larceny case proved a drawing card at Jucge Miller's matinee today, and those Who appeared at the door to hear the free shew numbered several times as many as the police would admit. Mrs. Winifred Canty, oa whose conipiaint the arrest was made, was present in court and she was accompanied by her husband and friends. The offense charged was alleged to have been committed on the 13th of September, during the week that the banjoist and com- edian was showing at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. Mr. Mullowny, for the government, made the opening speech, in which he outlined what he expectéd to show by witnesses, and Messrs. Campbell Carrington and B. B. Hay addressed the jury in behalf of the defendant. They claimed that the case was one of musiaken identity. and they were confident that upon the showing made ‘y would get a verdict for their client. The Complainant's Testimony. nity was first called, and she said she lived at No. 9th street at the time of the affair. She said she left her home in company with Mrs. Corridon and the latter’s son, and went as far as a Chinese laundry near 9th and K streets. They re- turned and walked as far as H street, when they turned east. When about two or three houses from the corner, she said, the defendant grabbed her by the arm and and. She had a pocketbook in her hand at the time. es did you do then?” Mr. Mullowney asked. his heme, which is only a few squares away. The crematory fs also but a short dittance from the naval observatoi grounds, and this is another reason, it is understood, why he urges that the crema- tery be not built upon the site selected. The greatest secrecy was maintained at the Commissioners’ office concerning the purport of this letter, and when the Com- missioners left the District building this morning they took the health officer with them and drove at once to the Navy De- partment, where they had an interview with Secretary Herbert on the subjec: It is understood that the Secretary re- iterated his jections and the Commis- sioners 5 best they could. Just ied what will be done in the matter has not is yet been fully determined, but there every reason to believe that the Comm: sioners will comply with the Secretary's wishes in the matter and locate the crema- tory somewhere else. The Secretary Makes Other Com- i “plaints, Secretary Herbert, at this morning's meeting, also took: occasion to call the at- tention of the Commissioners to the bad condition of the dirt road running between the Navy Department and the White House from Pennsylwania;avenug to the circular drive back of the White House. He said in its present state it was doing great damage to walis on the east front of the vy Department well as to the furnishings and contents 6f all'the rooms opening upon it. This was: jecause of its soft dirt sur- tace, which served to send a cloud of dust against and (into the Navy Department with the leagt disturbance of the atmos- phere. The consequence that the orig- inal color of the east front of the building had been chauged from a very light gray to a reddish brown hue. ‘Thet this change, is due to the pi of the road is shown by the fact th other th stiles of the building unblemished. “Amore however, is the injury interior of the building and the clouds of dust that are carried in through the open windows in the summer time, when it is too warm to keep them clos: he thought furt rouble could be averted hy paving the road with asphalt, and sug- gested that the Commissioners take steps to that end. Congress Solely to Blame. The Commissioners informed him that y had no jurisdiction over the road in question, and consequently they were un- able to comply with his request. In the conversation that ensued it was developed that Col. Wilson,‘ commissioner of public buildings and grounds, was in charge of the road, and that he had persistently en- deayored to have Congress provide for its improvement, but without success. He has again recommende& an appropriation for asphalting the roadbed in his annual report this year, and it 1s said that the Secre- taries of State, War and Navy will second Kis efforts by urging Congr necessary provision for an asphalt or other hard pavement. their original color important matte done to the contents. by Bi es BROKE HIS LEG.

Later I was taken home and put to bed.” Later in the evening, she said, she went to the police station with her husband, and the very moment she saw the defendant she identified him. “Did he say anything to you in the sta- on?" Mr. Mullowny asked. she answered. ‘He asked me y on him, and I asked him if me any mercy. A Compliment for Counsel. On cross-examination, witness said that her husband had employed Private Detec- tive McDevitt in the case. “And iid he employ an attorney?” Mr. Carrington asked. “I think he did.” “One of the best in town?” “I don't know about that.” ‘Weil, he did,” remarked Mr. Carrington. “He employed Mr. Andrew Lipscomb.” When furth>r questioned, Mrs. Canty aid that when she was assaulted there Were a gentlemen and lady sitting on the grass in front of the house. She learned that this gentleman was Mr. Pierce, and two nights ago she called to see him. Wit- ness also saw the lady, and talked with her, but did not have either of them sum- ; moned as a witness. The defendant said nothing to her when he grabbed her. Witness said sne had never made a mis- iake in the identity of a person nor had she ever been mistaken for any one else, y as she knew. The affair, she said, ned between 8.30 and 9 o'clock. When she identified the defendant her husband, a policeman and a boy were in the room. She did not ask Mr. Reeves to get up and walk, so that she couid see his bark. “Did Mr. Resves_tell you that he was unquestionably an innocent man?” asked Mr. Carrington “I think not,” she responded. “If he did I don’t remember it.” Lawyer Carrington Assaults a Deputy: When Judge Miller announced that the court wovld take a recess for thirty min- utes Mr, Carrington askefl that the forfeit- ed bond in the case be set aside, and this opened a new discussion, which’ was con- cluded on the street a few minutes later when Mr. Carrington heaped upon Deputy Marshal McCormick, the indignity of slap- ping him in the face. As the bond of Recves had been forfeited nd no new recognizance given, the de- endant was in court not under security, and the court naturally enough remarked that he should be in the custody of the al.

Mr. Hay ¢ -examined witness concern- ing the identification of the defendant and the visit to the Chinese laundry, and also about the circumstances attending the as- “And,” he added, “I'll tell you so to your sault, but she repeated only what she had said-on direct examination. Mr. Canty’s Evidence. Mr. Canty, husband of the prosecuting witness, testified to the circumstances at- tending the identification. He remembered hearing Mr. Reeves make a denial of the charge, and heard him ask Mrs. Canty to have merey on him. She replied that he had not had ary mercy on her, and asked why she should have any on him. Witness said that yesterday he was in company with Mr. McDevitt, the private detective, near the scene of the assault, when he met the defendant. The latter spoke to him and they had a conversation, during which Reeves denied the charge, and said he was never in that ne‘ghborhood. Witness said that he employed Private De- tective MeDevitt in the case because he thought Mr. Mullowny was very busy and he wanted him to have all the assistance ne could. He paid the private detective $29, and also employed Lawyer A. A. Lipscomb. In answer to Mr. Hay’s inquiries witness said he had never said the case would be nolle prossed, but he had complained at what he termed an unjust newspaper ar- | ticle and after that article appeared he con- cluded to “push” the cuse. Yesterday witness was out with the private detective blocking up evidence. | Reeves Looked Like the Man. Harry Moulton, a boy who lives at No. 717 8th street, testified that on the evening of the assault he saw a man standing be- hind a tree. Soon afterward he heard a lady scream, and he saw the man run. The ‘man whom he saw was dressed in a light suit and a brown hat. Witness did not see the man’s face, and could not identify the man, but he picked out Reeves as the man in court who looked most like him. Harry Preston, a special delivery mes- senger boy, testified that on the evening charged he was on his way from station No. 9, when he saw a man run around the ecrner of tth and H streets. A lady fol lowed the man, calling, “Stop thief.” Wi ness lost sight of the man, but he was told by_a man to follow Mr. Reeves, which he did. When Reeves got off the car an offi- cer arrested him. He wrestled with the officer, and said he was not the man. He also heard him say: seek zod, mzn, I never stole that pocket book.” Before he said this witness did not hear the policeman say anything to him. He cculd 1.0 identify Reeves as the man whom he saw running. Witness was on a bicycle. The Prosecution Closed. Policeman Cariison, who made the arrest at 9th street and Pennsylvania avenve, was next cailed and when he had finished his evidence Mr. Mullowny announced that is case was closed. CREATED A CARDINAL Monsignor Satolli Notified of His Eleva- tion by Letter From Rome tend Congratulations—He Will Confer the Berretta. Monsignor Satolli today rece!ved official notice of his elevation to the cardinalate. The first anncuncement came by letter, and this was followed by a cablegram to Cardinal G:bbons, as follows: “To the Most Eminent Cardinal Gibbons, U.S. A.: Iam happy to inform you that the holy father having decided to confer the cardinaMte upon the apostolic dele- gate, Mgr. Satolli, your eminence wiil be delegated to impose the cardinalate ber- retta, his holine,s intending in this way to perform an act gratifying to your emi- nence, (Signed) “RAMPOLA, Cardinal.” Congratulated by Cardinal Gibbons. The cablegram reached Cardinal Gibbons at Baltimore this morring, and in com- pany with Father Magnion, rector of St. Mary’s Seminary, he left on the first train for this city to congratulate Mgr. Satolli on his elevailon. The delegate was prepar- ed for the visit, as the letter already re~ ceived from Cardiaal Rampola, secretary to the propaganda, had given him private infermation toncerning the purposes of the holy father. This information reached Mer. Satolli two days ago, but was guarded with the Cardinal Gibbons Comes Over to Ex- |. | FINANCE AND TRADE Speculators Busy Covering Short Contracts, EFFECT OF RAIN IN THE. WES? Industrials Were the Active Fea- tures. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS —————— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 31—The covering of short contracts was responsible for the bulk of today’s trading in speculative is- sues and substantial improvement from opening figures was recorded at every point of activity. London sold over fifteen thou- sand shares of our securities, but without the slightest effect on values. Complica- tions with Russia and the uneasiness in all European capitals as to the outcome of the settlements in mining share’ combined in unsettling the London market. The war scare is not regarded seriously by the best judges of the situation, and will in all probability disappear as a con- siceration of importance to finances. The foreign exchange market was a shade ras the result of a modest de- mand rather than of any important in- crezse in the supply of commercial draw- ings. The market continues extremely ser sitive, however, and will adjust itself to any changes in offerings or demand. The reports of rain in the winter wheat belt were used to advance the price of the Granger shares, but in most instances frac- tional gains were the most that could be accomplished. ‘The trading in Missouri Pacific, in which tke demands of the short interest were most urgent, resulted in a gain of 11-2 per cent from first prices, the largest gain re- corded in the railway list. ‘: The industrials were the active feature of the day, gains cf more than fractional proportions being reccrded in every in- stance. Sugar was in gccd demand after a weak opening, and regaired 1 1-4 per cent of recent losses. “ Tobacco, General Electric and Chicago Gas were all marked up on purchases cred- ited almosi exclusively to the room, The action of the market throughout the day conformed exactly to the better opin- ions expressed toward the close of yes- terday’s business. The professional ele- ment had overestimated the discouraging features of the situation and discovered its error only when an attempt was made to recover the securities sold in anticipation of enforced liquidatis —_———__ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest uad the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New Ycrk stock exchange.

The Venerable Senate Employe in a Dangerous Condition. Capt. Isaac Rassett, assistant doorkeeper of the United States Senate, and for sixty- five years an employe in that branch of Congress, is, as recently siated In The Star, lying dangerously ill at his home, f§ 2d sir-et northeast. For the past three years Capt. Bassett has suffered from stomach troubles. These troub’es have cause] him excruciating pain, and during the last session of Congress the trouble became aggravated. After the adjournment Bassett went to Conrec Congress Capt. ut for rest and recreation, 1 that the change would benefit . as it had many times before. But he became worse, and after three months in the north he returned to Wash- ington a very sick man. Since his return, however, he has improv mt his eondi- tion is regarded as exceedingly dangerous and eri ili suffers much pain, but hi and family still hope that he may again be able to regain his Sizensth by the meeting of Cor = The Steamer Elbe. A professional diver was sent to locate the wreck of the Elbe, and to report about | the possibility of getting at bodfes which may be still held in the wreck, and also to. attempt to extricate what valuables he be gotten at. He reports the following: “We set out on the wrecking steamer Elise and hovered for almost two weeks around the spot where the Elbe sank. She lies listed to the port side at a depth of over forty fathoms (240 feet); favorable results could therefore hardly be expec: In spite | of this we tried our best to descend to the | vessel, but among six professional divers two Germans, two Frenchmen and two glishmen—not one could dive deeper than feet. I attempted it once daily for six consecutive days, but when I got to the nied, which was the greatest depth reached by any one on board, the pressure of the water on my body was so. ful that it seemed to me all the air -. It was diffi- was Pp cult to breathe, the ears began to pain and bieed, and a numbness seemed to permeate the head, which I concluded was the begin- ning of waning consciousness. Since, with a diver attired in a scaphhander suit, loss of consciousness would be fatal, the at- tempts to reach the Elbe had to be aban- doned. From the deepest point I reached I could see the hull of the Elbe as through a fog. She is listed to the port side, and the masts and. smokestacks could plainly be seen.” Ont. & Western Facific Mail... Fhia. & Keading. Pullman Pal. Car Co. Soutaern Railway, Pid. Phiia. ‘Traction.
