Though tame, so far as the volume of trailing was concerned, the opening this morning showed decided strength. Sugar was a Jeature, advancing 1 1-2 points on lcpofts that the Sugar company interests were confident ot their porftion as to changes in the tarirf billwhile in confeiencc The Grangers were helped by the news of a let-up in tlie hot weather in the Central "West, accompanied by rains. St. Paul recorded a sharp advance on covering by traders. The earnings ot the first week or July exhibit nn increase of $11,100. Reports of earnings or other important systems made public today an nounce Increases. Little attention was paid to the coal miners' strike, and floor sentiment was again inclined to be bullish as to the general outlook. In the absence of quotation h from London, whose market was enjoying a holiday today, our market was entirely a local one. The supply of slocks was very limited. The weekly statement of averages of tho associated banks, issued today, failed to present features of special tlgniticance. New Torlc Stock !Mnrltet. Corrected dally by W. B. Hlbbs &.

A great many traders are out of town, over iu New JTork, and presumably much of the icgular tiade fioin Washington and other cities did not leach .New i-jik for the same hot weather reason. Prices held up very well, however, and even showed a slight advance. Theie was no particular meaning in tills under the circumstances, of couise. It Is liPlieved among the brokers that a compromise sugar schedule is piobable, and that the outcome will be satisfactory to the trusts. No time may yet he set for the conleience to complete its work, however. Little speculative interest Is taken in the question of a currency mes sage, as any such deliverance by the Executive -would almost tuiely be pigeon holed in the Senate. Bell & Co. were buying St. Paul yes terday. The New York Central gross earnings for June increased $6,335. The May gross earnings of Union Pacific Increased .$197,000, and the net earning increased S5S.000. The earnings of St. Paul for the first week In July increased $11,000. There Is a rumor out that Louisville and Nashville may possibly pay 1 per coat dividend in January. The prospects of the road are goiil. Town Topics' financial bureau is of the opinion that Western Union will go to something like 90 on the next upward movement The Town Topics' peuple say that there has been good buying of Western Union by prominent life insurance companies, and that jt has absorbed mot of the floating stock. The recent advances in Pacific Mail are ascrilicd o purchases by good buyers. Tho earnings have certainly warranted an ad vance for some time Mr. Huntington is sjild to believe that Pacific Mail is go ing up. Mr. LIndblom says of the Government reports: "Invariably during the past year the "Wheat market has advanced in anticipation of the Government report, but now when every one skeins to know that tlie report is coming out and is going to be very bearish the market is declining in anticipation of it, and I look for an advance to follow the report." There is certainly a good prospect that Sugar will go up this week. Some of tlie best informed among my friends are of the opinion that it will lead the market. Pow, Jones & Co, say of the Grangers: It is claimed by influential interests that nothing but serious crop damage can keep the Granger stocks. at or below the pres ent level of prices, for if crop prospects continue as they are It means increased dividends atui higher prlcs for entire group. Northern Pacific preferred, Great Northern and Canadian Pacific liavcevery prospect of hauling the largest spring wheat crop on record. This crop has not been injured at all, and the weather yes terday In the Northwest was cool, pre cisely what was needed for tlie crop. Rock Island and Durlington and Quinoy ore assured of a good whiter wheap crop, which Is now moving, and even con siderable damage to corn in their terri tory would not bo a calamity, because there is so much com already in that country. Hot winds do not always do great damage, and the weather may change at once to th3 benefit ot all crops. Should there be serious damage there might be some reaction la Rock Island and Burlington and Quiney, but the real situation would soon assert itself. "WnKliiujrton StocK Jsccnnnce.

"Wheat continued its declinci and was Influenced by lower Liverpool cables and liberal deliveries on July contracts yesterday afternoon; heavy sales of July today and some liquidation of September by longs, who feared a, bearish Government crop report this aft ernoon. The No. 1 Northern, which com prised the bulk of yesterday's deliveries on July contract, was being souidit to day by shippers, who were bidding 3-1 cent per bushel over the July price for It. The buying today was scattered, but it steadily absorbed the offerings all through the decline. There were 80,000 bushels cash wheat sold here today to millers, with negotia tions for considerable more. The weather report furnished evidence that the drought was broken in the South west, and this caused heavy selling by the big bujers ot corn early In the week. Shorts seem over-confident.

"I thought I was going to sell a casket to one or my neighbors a Tew days ago," said the undertaker. "A certain young man, who has been dissipating considerably of late, and has gotten himself into debt, became desperate, and threatened on sev eral occasions to commit suicide if his widowed mother did not give him some of the money she had borrowed on their little home in Westport. Not long ago he went honie wth a desperate look on his face, and, calling his mother Into the parlor, said as he pull'.'d a revolver from his hip pecket: " 'I will have money, or right here I will end my miserable existence.' " 'Walt' "Walt!"' screamed his mother as she mshed from the room. A look ot satisfaction overspread the young man's face as he mumbled to himself about know ing he would get it, but he was destined to disappointment.

The grenadiers of the famous "Old Guard" will never be forgotten In France as long as the memory o brave men shall live in tho national heart. But some of them, at least, were aa bright as they were brave, as the following trustworthy anecdote liears witness: One fine morning, after peace had been concluded between France and. Russia, the two Emperors, Napoleon and Alexan der, were taklDg a short walk, arm In arm, around the palace park at Erfurt. As they approached the sentinel, who stood at the foot of the grand staircase, tho man, who was a grenadier of the guard, presented arms. The Emperor of France turned, and, pointing with pride to agreat scar that divided the grenadier's face, said: "What do you think, my brother, ot sol diers who can survive such wounds as that?" "And you," answered Alexander, "what do you think of soldiers who can inflict them?" "Without Stirling an inch from his posi tion or changing the expression of his face in the least, the stern old grenadier himself replied gravely: "The man who did it is dead." Youths' Companion. SAYED HER -LOVER'S LIFE Barbara Riedhiger Marries Lonis lloseiicranse in a Hospital. It Gave niui Courage- to "Undergo an Operation Whicli "Would Otherwise Ilhvo Been Fatal. Elizabeth, N. J July 10. Surely no marriage was ever performed under stranger circumstances than those sur rounding the wedding of Barbara Riedhiger and Louis Rosencranse, in Alexian Broth era' Hospital yesterday. Thn girl was tlie picture of health, tho man. who Is but twenty one years old, was at death'H door, and when he clasped the liand of his wife the happy ligbt in liU eyes gave his face an expression that seemed unearthly. Tlie ceremony was per formed half an hour before an operatiou upon th3 young man was begun by the hospital physician. The outcome of the operation no ono could foretell. It was the last ditch in the doctor's battle against death, and if that were crossed, the btifferer would never Cotmi back fiom the Land of Nod, into which the ether administered to make him forget the pain would send him. PoM'iicianse was an employe of the Graselll Chemical Wmks, ut Trendy Point. He became engaged to Mls Riedhiger two years ago, and they wero to have lieen married last month. Uls health began to give way a short thno ago. The poitonoua gases among which he worked gilppedsurely upon his lungn. Re Was taken to the Alexian Hospital early in June. The original tnniblo was checked, but in his weakened condition ho could nut right against othor toinpllcatloiiH. and at last the doctors said thu diseased tis sues must be cut away. When the rcniltor the consultation was carried to the sick room Rostncranse fell back upon his pillows and closed his eyes The girl Ktw that wit houtHomethlng to keep up his courage hu would never survive the operation. She called upon the Rev. 5Ir. Fischer, tho pastor ot the German Lutheran Churoh, where, following the old German custom, the bans for their marriage had been pub lished The girl said she wanted to marry her sweetheart at once. The girl's earnestness overrode the lialf hearted objections of the conservative old German churchman, nnd just an hourafter wttids the two. accompanied by John Rled nger. young Adolph Hoeber. the brother and brother-in-law of the girl, ttood at the bcdfcldc of Rosencraus". The ceremony was s,hort. The hos pital attendants wens grouped in the open doorway, tho bride knolt by the tldo of the bed and the sick man put out his hand, whlSi:tmj girl clasped In both or hers. i?- The old clergyunm read the ritualistic ceieniony, and ths .organ in the Vutb chapel pealed forth' the Swan song, mil blemntlc of the pld German folk-lore history, and as the ring slipped over the finger of the girl thastralns ot Men delssohn's weddingyiilurch filled the cor ridors of tlie hospital, t ' Then the bride went away, and half art hour later the bridegroom, with a biave light in hLs eyes and one of the red roses from his wife clasped in his hand, was cairicd to the operating room. In the reception room anliour afterward a d'tctot told the walSriefgirl and theclergy ij'an that the operation had been success ful. "! . - The Rise of Pierpont Morgan. The fact that-Junlus Pierpont Morgan will shortly assume the real management of the Lehigh Valley" Railroad gives htm control of more lines of transportation than any other man in the world. His word alone is law as involving the spend ing and opeiation of millions ol capital. lie controls the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, the West Shore Railroad, the Harlem Road, the Rome, "Watertown and Ogdensburg Road, the Reading Icoad, the Erie Road, andnow the Lehigh Valley Road, as Is told below. He therefore controls all but two of the great roads that lead from New Tork city to the great West, llecontrolRH. hugepercentage of the commerce-carrying ferries of the metropolis; his miners delve into the black depths of the earth for coal, and it is this man who suddenly looms up ns the mest gigantic figure on the financial horizon. He was & power several years ago, when henegotiat ed the notorious bond deal, but todaay.con tiolling there great railroad corporations as he docs, and even reaching out for the absolute control of the St. Lawrence River traffic from Clayton to Monti eal, he stands alone and unique among the money poweri of this land. Through the firm founded many years ago by his less daring father, Junius S. Morgan, the Connecticut Yankee, who went to London and established a bank, he is moreinfluentiil with moneyed Englishmen than any halt dozen other Americans. It is largely through this influence that he has gained his tremendous power, for, repre senting, as lie does, untold millions of Urit Ish capital, he is tlie sole arbiter of Its uses and disposition, for the investors trust him blindly. ne also wields a large influenccin theaf falrs of New England, representing huge inteiests in the conduct of the New 3Tork New Haven, and Hartford Railroad, which lit turn owns theNew England road.making a network ot steel which entirely cowrs the State ot Connecticut, and provides the only communication between New fork and the New England metropolis, Boston. It is this man. then, who has reaclicdout for tho Lehigh, and who has it. In a few years he will practically control the big North Piver bridge. The Pennsylvania Road and the Delaware, Lackawanna & "Western will then be his sole competitors. Whether or not It is, the intention of the Moigan roads to compete fiercely with ihe Pennsylvania can only be conjectured, but that the Lehigh Valley '.will shortly join the present extensive Morgan syndicate seems assured. Recently, when thB Lehlcli Valley was In difficulties, Philadelphia capital, mostly, came to its aid, the large Packer estate shouldering, most ot the responsibility" This estate, in its turn, became involved in a way, and Mr. Mdrgan, representing the numerous English,, stockholders, ob tained an option on all the Packer hold ings. This has given him un absolute con trol ot the road, andjlt now seems that he Is about to assume Its management. New York Journal.

Charles Lo CIuko Foiiod Deud in Their Kitchen. Baypoit, L. I., July 10. Coroner Ben nett aud the locat police today admit them selves completely mystified over thestrauge deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Le Cluse. The theory that they died from poison sccruH the most tenable, but whether It will develop into murder, suicide or acci dent is the point that Is keeping the entire community gossiping and in a fever of ex citement. Bertha Le Clusea granddaughter of tlie aged couple, who lives next door, ran into their housu la3t night to pay them a visit. The door was open and the child ran In, calling for her grandmother. She was sur prised that she received no answer. She continued ou until she reached the kitchen, where she found the old couple lying strangely still, stretched out on the floor. In an instant her screams roused the neighbors, who came running from all di rections. The found not a sign of a struggle Everything in the kitchen was in its ac customed placo, and not a piece ot cloth ing on either body was disarranged There was even a faint smile ou the old woman's kindly face. One side ot Mr. Le Cluse's face still had traces of lather, and close beside him lay his open razor. But there was nothing to indicate that tlie razor played a pare in the strange deaths. There were two slight gashes on the old man's face, but neither was deeper than the onef'n nervous man will make while shaving himself. There Is one theory that the old man dropped dead from heart disease, and that when his aged wife saw him dead the shock killed her, It seems improbable, however, that this could be the case, particularly as neither one was known to be afflicted with a weak heart. Many of the villagers think that the old couple deliberately decided to take themselves out or the world that had naturally lost much of its charm, and look some quickly fatal poison. The foul play theory is also udvanced by miny, though they were a liighly re spected couple, without a known enemy, and robbery could not have been the mo tive, for not a thing in the house was disturbed. An autopsy Is probably the only thing that can clear up the mystery. Cured of the Juke. "I'm a living example of the fact that practical Joking is not incurable." sighed the retired man of business, as thoigh re calling a memory that was not altogether unpleasant. "There was the most Intense rivalry be tween two towns In Colorado, and I was a resident of one of them. It was not al together a generous rivalry, and within certain classes disputed superiority gen erally h-d to muscular discussion. Business men vied Tor trade in debatable territory, the doctors, tlie lawyers, even the min ibters said harsh things against the other town. But It was in social circles that the belligerency was apparent at its height People who could not arrord it would go in for display, and when the two places had a function in common the toilets were chosen with special rea-rence to showing that ihey were very expensive or to casting reflec tion upon the rival city. "Ata masked ball held In the other place I had the hardihood and impudence to per petrate what I thought a telling Joke. I was dressed in a costume yr newspapers and appearedin theliterarycharacterorthe Quick and the Dead. Gradually it dawned upon die residents that the papers of my own town represented tne 'Quick,' while the papers of their town represented the 'Dead.' It was an unpardonable insult Indignation ran so high that I began to wish I had not been so brilliant. The sen sational denouement came when a belle of the rival city took a little promenade with me and quietly touched a lighted match to my costume. In an instant I was all quick and no dead I rolled In the grass, and in due time the conflagration was extinguish ed, but you can see the marks yet. "Then the papers of the other town made a dead set atj me, raked up my record even more thoroughly than if I had been run ning for office, and made some remote lo cality look so Inviting that I left." De troit Free Tress. Comfort In the Mountains. Hotel Alleghany, Goshen, Va., July 9. This is trulj a "home in the mountains." Situated in the heart of the Alleghanles, with the mountains rising in grandeur on every side, almost completely surrounded by acres of beautirul woods, and with the quaint old town of Goshen nestling at the foot of the mountain on which the hotel stands, it is indeed a mecca for those seeking a delightfully cool and pleasant summer home. The interior of the Hotel Alleghany is Is beautifully arranged. All the loems on the fiist floor are finished in beautifully polished wood, the dining hall, cardrooms, diawiug-rootiis and general reception hall being particularly handsome. Probably the finest room in the hotel is the ballroom, brilliantly lighted by electricity, as in fact, theentire house, andentirely surround ed by a gallery, where those who do not care to dance may enjoy the music of the fine orchestra. Among the other amusements provided for' the guests are tennis, croquet, bil liards and pool, while some of the more daring spirits here have been seen to flit through the halls, under cover of the friendly darkness, prepared to take a dip in the merry little river which winds pic turesquely by the hotel. All the viands for which Virginia is particularly famed are dellciously pre pared and served in the greatest abun dance. But how could guests be other wise than happy and well-cared for with such a genial host as Mr. J. C. T. Tim bcrlakc, that well-known raconteur and bon vlvant, famous all over the Sooth?
