MONEY STOCKS AXD BONDS.
OuletDayon th e'ork Exchange, lth
Simply a "ScaU" Market"
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Money on call was
easy at 3 per cent
Prime mercantile paper, 46 per cent;
Sterling exchange vaa doll but steady at
$4.&ji2 foraixtj-dU hills, and 4.871 for
demand.
The total sales of stocks to-day were
1,590 shares, including tho following:
Atchison, 5,000; Erie, 100; Lake Shore,
2,200; Missouri pacific, 4,710; Northern Pa-
cific, 3.G0O; Northern Pacific preferred. 5,028;
Reading. 4,115;" St Paul, 5,500; Union Pa
cific, 2,q:o.
The stock market, to-day, owing to the
absence of a lar3 number of the promi
nent traders and brokers, was almost en
tirely given up to the professional element,
and prices Trero first advanced and after
ward let off to about opening figureond
the final changes are generally for insignifi
cant fractions! Tho London market was
quoted very afron?, but first prices hero
"vero only slightly changed from last
night's figure, out the temper of the room
lor the time" being was very bullish, and in
tho first hour's trading there were marked
advances scored in sumo of the special
ties, of which Sugar Trust. Wheeling
fc Lake Erie preferred and Wabash pre
ferred wers most conspicuous, rising 12,
lcdandl per cent respectively. Oregon
Navigation later shot up 24 per cent, but
the general list was dull and uninteresting
Irom opening to close. Some animation
was shown in Atchison, Burlington, North
ern Pacific preferred and St. Paul, but in
none did the extremo fluctuation exceed
3-t per cent The buying was mainly for
the covering of "shorts," but later the sell
ing of Sugar Trust by brokers, who aro
understood to act for the pool, knocked
that stock off to below its first price, and
the rest of tho list soon followed, and the
early advances were in most cases entirely
wiped out Both the C, C, C. & St L. and
Chesapeake & Ohios wero comparatively
quiet, and moved over an extremely nar
row range. The market finally closed dull
vaud rather heavy at about opening prices.
Railroad bonds weTe quiet though the
ales reached somewhat higher figures than
usual of late, being $102,000. This was di
vided between a comparatively small num
ber of issues, and the movements of the day
"were without importance. A firm tone gen
erally prevailed, Dut there were only two
important final changes, and they were de
clines. Wabash general receipts lost 4. at
44. The sales of bonds for tho week wero
$7,131,000, against only 4,8tt,C00 for last
"Week.
Government bonds were dull and steady.
State bonds "were neglected. Closing

TRADING AT CHICAGO.
tTIie TJps and Downs of the Market, vrith th
Kanc In Pricey of Leading: Articles.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10. For the last day of a
dull week in wheat speculative trading
was active. Everything favored lower
prices, and another downward dip of '40
was witnessed before noon. September
went to 7514c and December to 77 c. So
unif d?mly depressing were tho surroundings
that the bears appeared at last to have the
courage of their convictions, and they went
at the market with a rush right from the
Btart Tho decline was accelerated by tho
unloading of numerous lines of "long"
wheat, some of which were pretty largo
ones, and by local parties that have all along
been regarded as the most radical 'bulls,, on
tho iloor. Tho impression that tho govern
ment crop report would be more favorable
than tho last was so general that tho mar
ket took on its weakness from that canse.
Tho rows of the most importance to tho
"bear" side was the clear, cool weather re
ported in Northwest. When the market got
down around TPs'SOT.iq for December,
about noon, it hungpretty stubbornly for a
time, and. though heavy, Jhe decline was
checked bv good buying, principally by
"shorts." Half an hour or so before the
clooe it weakened again, this time touching
"C, and at the cioso 770 was the
market, being a net loss for tho day on
December of S4C, and for the week of hsc.
t'orn was active and weak. Trading was
heavy, and the voluino of busiue&s larger
than for many days past Offerings were
Jargo, "longs" selling and "aborts' covering-
The weaker tone was attributed
rnainly to largo movements and tho
break in tho cash market Tho
couutry holders wero largo sellers,
and nhippers cold freely early in
the a? siou. The market opened below
the closing price of yesterday, was steady
lor a time, but eoon ruled weak auddo
f.1,ncd without a reaction 'vc, rallied a
2k kcam eaay and closed S4C lower
than yesterday. Oats were active, weaker
nd lower than for anfl time in ten years.
l ne weakness and declfne was due to con
tinued free receipts. (Viz general soiling

hardware men. In values to-day there were
but few fluctuations. Colfees and sugars
are barely steady with a good distribution
in progress. For sugars, as usual during
the canning season, thero is a largo
demand. Other staple groceries rule
steady and firm. The hardware men
report their trade handsomely in excess of
that of the corresponding period last jear,
and better prices are realized. The llour
market is slow for this season of the year
and prices aro very unsatisfactory to tho
millers. When thero will be any improv
nient they aro nnablo to state, much de
pending on the future of wheat. In fruits
and vegetables the market is abundantly
supplied. Apples, choice fruit, &ell as low
as $1.75 per barrel.' The nutmeg melons ar
riving are pour in quality and ell slow.
Melons in good condition and good size,
however, lind roady Hale. Tomatoes are
scarce for this season of tho year, but few
good ones ollored on the market. Huttcr is
in light supply, and lirm at quotations of
to-day. Tho egg market is taking better
shape, nnd losses when candled are not so
large. The poultry market is somewhat
heavy on liberal receipts.

WHAT PEOPLE OUGHT TO EAT
Variety of Food for tho Season Recom
mended by Those Learned in Dietetics.
Alcoholic Drinks and Ice Water Should Be
Avoided Fruit Tends to Keep One Healthy
and Active, rith a Good Conscience.
This summer Indianapolis has been so
favored as to weather, no days of eitremo
heat, with frequent cooling rains and the
balmy south wind almost constantly blow
ing, that it has had all the advantages of a
first-class summer resort, except the ex
pense that attaches to estivation at the
lakes or seaside. There has been littlo
sickness and midsummer holds no prophecy
of disorders yet to be. This, however, is
the very time when sanitary precautions
should be taken, when the head of the
household in making purchases of food
supplies should bear in mind the poet
Saxe's admonition, in which, after citing
an example of one who a to and drank not
wisely but too well
If you'd avoid these horrid incubi
Beware what you eat, and be careful -
What drink you buy. .-..
Meeting Dr. John Chambers, the reporter
asked him what he considered the right
things in the lino of dietetics, not
for invalids, but for people in fairly
good health. Tho Doctor looked sur
prised. He is not in the habit of prescrib
ing for people who are in health. That ad
mirable system is restricted to China, where
it hasflourishedfori.OOOyears. enabling that
peculiar people to increase and multiply un
til they now compose about one-seventh
of the population of the planet "What is
Eood diet for well peoplel" repeated the
octor. I should say potatoes are always
good; so are bread, milk and butter; also
meats, especially beef and muttonand
lamb." The last viand was named with
hesitation, the Doctor fearing by his pre
scription to aid in the destruction of this
animal, which will have to flee to the
mountains if the experiments suggested by
Dr. Brown-Sequard's discovery are every
where pursued with tho same vigor as in
Indianapolis. "In vegetables," continued
the Doctor, "we have this year a supera
bundance, and they are excellent There
is also a great variety of fruit, both of
which aro healthful. Even the poorest
can have the best of food this year. I will
say that those who aro in the habit of
using liquora or beer do themselves great
injury in more ways than one. I suspect
that in many families, especially among
the poor people, as much money is spent for
beer or for lianor as for food supplies. This
is both wasteful aud harmful."
Dr. Joseph W. Marsee was also asked tho
question Dr. Chambers answered. "You
know," ho replied, "that my business is
surgerVt so I am practically away from the
food question. hen a healthy man is in
jured in an accident the matter of diet
largely regulates itself in his case. He can
no longer eat strong food, and what is best
for him suggests itself, as does the quantity
which he is capable of eating."
"Eat of vegetables, especially," said Dr.
G. W. Coombs, "and very sparingly of
meats. Such drinks as collee and tea aro
regarded as very stimulating, especially in
the summer months, and aro not good for
children. In fact, they aro too much in
dulged in at all times. One should be care
ful, bathe daily, aud not eat too much."
"Does it make any ditVercuce," inquired
the interviewer of a Christian scientist,
"what the patients who aro treated by your
system, eatf
No. sir; not at all," was the prompt
replv.
"Does it make any difference what they
drink?" , . , ,
Tho doctor grew very red in tho face, re
peated the question, and replied: "Does it
make any ditiereiiee what they drink!
Yes, sir; 1 should thiuk it did. Of courso
it does." The interrogatories wero not con
tinued. "In regard todrinhs," said Dr. Allison W.
Maxwell, who was next interviewed, "cold
water, not ice-water, lemonade and other
acid drinks are healthful. In some casos I
lind that soda-water, which is ice-cold, with
ice-cream, docs not agree with tho drinkers.
Milk is nearly always good. When it does
not agree with tho drinker, a little lime
water may bo added. Iced milk is objec
tionable. As to winen, beer or liquor. I do
not think them necessary to any person in
health. They are remedies sometimes, but
should not be used as beverages. Nature iu
tends that fruit should be eated plent
ifully, and this year the supply is abund
ant Fresh, ripe fruits aro healthful to
most persons, but some have to exercise
caution, because of acquired stomach
Dr. Dan W. Thompson, oculist was also
interrogated on the diet question. "We
have." said he, "incidentally, a great deal
of diet to look after, especially in the cases
of women and children. Many diseases of
the eye are consequent upon stomach
troubles; that is, they aro aggravated by
them. There's the disease that prevails
considerably among children, known as
blcnhoritis marginalis "
"In English, please!"
"It is a disease of tho littlo glands that
lubricate the lashes of tho eye. It is quite
common in children. Those who have it
crave sweetmeats, pies, candies, etc., the
very things they should not have. What
they need is a diet that will be easily as
similated." "1 think," said Dr. Frank 0. Ferguson,
editor of the Indiana Medical Journal,
"during tho warm mouths people
should feed chiefly on vegetables and
fruits, eating but little meat and drinking
nothing but cool water or milk, not iced
water or iced milk. Tea, in my opinion, is
not a healthful drink. Tho old-fashioned
inscription, keep tho head cool and the
owels regular, with a clear conscience,
will reduce sickness and mortality to tho
minimum. All alcoholic drinks should be
avoided, even light wines, such as claret
and the cool aud foaming beer.''
It was impossible to keep it oil any longer;
it is tho sole absorbing topic among the
medical fraternity, and, though the re
porter had been specially commissioned to
get talks on dietetics, the lamb question,
like the little lamb that followed Mary to
school, followed him about and would not
depart, no matter how often he might 6ay
"bah" to it
"I'll tell you," said Dr. Ferguson, "what
is likely to result in the use of this lamb
elixir in tho hands of inexperienced or
careless dootors. from tho injecting of this
rejuvenator, as it is called.
"Well!"
'Pyemic abcesses, blood poison, lock-jaw
and tuberculosis; the last, if there is any
thing in the germ theory of disease. These
are tho principal things. There may bo
others. Such injections should only be made
by men who are thoroughly alive to the
importance of antisepsis and thorough
cleanliness. I am afraid of this slaughter
of'the innocents. The result may be that
the sheep will in a few years become as
nearly extinct as the North American
bison."
"In careful and expert hands is there any
danger in using this discovery f"
"Where it is properly prepared andnro-
perly injected into the cellular tissue tnere
is no danger to the circulation, but if it
should, through ignorance or carelessness,
be injected into a vein death would proba
blv be induced by the formation of em
boli or plugs cutting off the circulation in
vital parts, especially in the brain. A lit
tle plug, smaller than the head of a pin

the brain and produce paralysis, insanity,
softening of the brain, convulsions and
death."
A Hankers Association.
Bankers of Indiana, outside of Indianapolis,
are talking about forming an association for mu
tual protection. They say they want relief from
exactions of city banks, which, they claim charge
excessive exchange and commissions. It is also
suggested that a bureau or agency is needed, so
that direct communication may be maintained
with aU the outside banks. This would prevent,
among other things, forgers operating at one;
place from successfully repeating the operation
at another town in the State.
The Assignment Put Illm to Sleep.
"Let me tell you a good Joke on one of your
fratcrnity,w said an officer at police headquarters
to a Journal reporter yesterday. Alout two
nights ago one of tho evening papers detailed a
reporter to the station-house with Instructions to
write up a general article on a night's hapien
ings here. He was permitted to quit work early
in the afternoon In ordor to get a Uttle sleep by
way of preparation for his task. Well, he came
down here about 10 o'clock in th vsniax. soul
took a chair there in the ante-room where he
could see without being seen. Ireently we
noticed that he had fallen asleep.
and we thought, of eoune. he needed
rest, so we didn't disturb him. Ho dozed ou all
night and didn't open bis eyes until nearly roll
call, which is a lone time after daylicht When
he did awake you can imagine his feelings. Tho
poor boy declared at once that be knew his em
ployers would find it convenient to do without
his services, but I guess he came out all right.
But his paper didn't get the article.
BEFECTIYli SEWERAGE.
Pogue's Run Regarded as the Beginning of a
System for Perfect Drainage.
The deficient sewerage system of Indian
apolis is becoming a matter of comment
For a city of more than 100.000 population
it is to many a cause for surprise that there J
are only between fifteen and twenty miles
of what might be called sewerage within
the city limits. This, of course, does not
include the smaller and cross-lino sewers.
In the heart of the city there are four main
drainage lines. One comes from the
north down Illinois street and
meets a sewer of eight feet diameter
on Washington street, which runs from the
Female Keformatory. Both join the Ken
tucky avenue line, also eight feet in diam
eter, and . emptying into tho river. The
other main line is along South 6treet, join
ing the Kentucky avcuue sewer near the
river. v North Pennsylvania street and
Massachusetts avenue, to Bellefontamo
street, alsohavo a line of three feet in diam
eter. "But the main trouble about our sowers,
said Mr. Phipps. of the city engineer's pihco,
"is the way they were originally laid out.
The whole system is wrong, from the begin
ning. Instead of running four or hvelarga
sewers, the plan should have been to
utilize Pogue's ruu. It is a natural
drain and affords opportunities that no
amount of artificial work can equal. In
time tho city will have to usu it anyway.
It would cost nearly $1,000,000 to make a
sewer out of the stream, but it would be a
self have seen one so full that tho water
would throw the man-hole lids live feet in
to the air. But it is a mistake to think the
pipes are clogged. The only cause for the
overllow is that the sewers are not largo
enough to admit the amount of water that
goes into them. In other words, tho means
of escape are not sufficient"
"You think the utilization of Pogue's run
would remedy this!" .
"Yes, I do. Tho stream is the best means
wo have of draining tho city, and I regard
it only as a matter of time before we will
have to fall back upon it There is a grow
ing demand for better drainage here, and
Pogue's run is the only means of getting it
on anything like an economical basis."
A ROW OVER A DEBT.
An Assault Made by a Creditor and Then by a
Crowd Upon Samuel Howardton.
A fight that may terminate fatally oc
curred at Acton yesterday afternoon.
About seven years ago James Ilanahan, of
Needham's station, paid a fiuo of $17 for
SSamuel Howardton, who was at that time
in jail at Franklin. All except $0 had been
repaid, and yesterday Ho ward ton came to
Acton, and was in Bragnieier's saloon
when Ilanahan entered with a club in his
hand, and at onco began abusing Howard
ton, and reproaching him for not paying
the debt After some threats on the part of
Ilanahan, Howardton went out by the back
way of tho saloon, and, to avoid trouble,
hid himself in a freight car standing near.
Ilanahan soon discovered him, anil, jump
ing in the car, told him ho would have to
have the money or ho would whip him.
Howardton then struck him on ton of tho
head with a very dull hatchet, inflicting a
contused wound of two inches in length.
The blow knocked Ilanahan senseless, and
he was carried to the office of Dr. J. W.
fcrnicer, where, in a 'few minutes, he was
at)lot0 8it up while tho wound was being
dressed. Meanwhile a crowd having gath
ered around the car in which Howardton
still remained, one of them jerked him out,
and immediately tho whole gang began to
pound him with stones and sticks. At
tempting to follow him iuto the saloon,
they wero met at tho door by tho
bar-keeper, who, with a shot-gun in
his hand, drovo them . away. Tho
bar-keeper then put Howardton out
at the back-door, whoro ho was
taken in charge by friends aud con
ducted to a place of safety. Ho is very
seriously if not fatally wounded. One
throw made an ugly wound hack of his left
ear; another broke his nose and otherwise
marred his face, and by a third he was hurt
in the small of the back. Tho sheriff, was
telegraphed for to arrest Howardton, but
it is thought his services will bo utilized in
arresting those who assaulted him.
