K If e stated that ho had secured twenty samples B j of the stuff sold In tbo morgues of the Bowery f at three cents n drink. The analysis showod that - the stuff was only Imitation whlskoy and that It was lean harmful than genuine neir whiskey. - (iiKxl whiskey, tlio doctor stated, contains a K certain amount of fusel oil. while none of this '; oil km found In the stuff sold itt the Boh cry i tuorguos.

B.' Mr. Applftan's Ship Canal, PropU's Church, B- and Co-oprratlv Fannlns: Coramnolty. S Since 183.1 plans for a ship canal connecting Bj Lake Erlo with the southern end of Lake Mtchl- H3 gan have been from time to timo under consid- K? eration of capitalists and legislators. Now the B$ project is fairly under way. and Mr. A. Stewart H' Appleton of Tnelvo Corners, Mich., repreient- B'. lng the ship canal company, is on bis way to Bf M'ashlngtoo to arrange for bringing the matter KBT before Congress. Mr. Acplctou was seen yes- Bt terday at the Windsor Hotel. KK "The proposed ship canal," he said, "is to ex- Hftf tend from the southeastern corner of Lake HB Michigan to tho w estcrn end of Lake Erie, noar HSV- Toledo, and will cut off about 1,000 miles of St' travel, the distance around to Chicago, through 1'', the straits of Mackinac. Moreover, it will add PHvi six woeks of na Igatton at each end of the H9t' asason. The original cost of the canal was eitl- ' plated at $30,000,000. but we have cut that f! down to 5,000,000. Instead of digging a canal ' eighteen or twenty feet Jeep wo Unci thnt nlno feet will be sufUcicnt, owing to tlio invention of ; a St. Louis man named Lucas. Ho has invented HSKt. a sblp of six-foot draught which, b the contriv- ( anco of a twenty-foot steel centreboard, is rcn- If dered -perfoctly seawo thy in heavy weather. t Ships of this kind will bo used in tho canal. We KlCvi expect that Congress will give us on approprla- )" tlon. List year the Canal and Railroad Com- Hy. nilttee considered tho matter, and aierr mem- ', bsr was personally pledged to the support of a f- b'll providing for an appropriation. The bill j will soon bo ready for presentation." Hal Besides his interest in the ship canal, Mr. Ap- h! pletonisvery prominent In religious aft irs In ? the West. Ho is practically tho founder of the ) People's Church of America, which is of all HS';. creeds and no creed, and which intends estab- Si' llahlng educational Institutions in various parts K of tho country. It has now a cooperative com- r. mnnltr atTnehe Corners, Mich., of which all the members arc farmers. That they are prsc- Lv tlcal la shown bj measures which are at present ! tinder way to prevent such a misfortune as be- l'- el' them last year. They had raised a large K' crop of anples, Out could not get an) thing but It the smallest prlcea for them. This ear they k are building a huge cold storage bouse. If the K dealers do not offer fair prices for apples, the HflBi farmers will put their fruit in cold storage and K' ,e" It In tho spring when prices are up. ft Near Twelvo Corners, at Fottnwatamle Park. ( ,no chnrch Is building a tabernaclo which will H8Br be, as Mr. Appleton terms It, "a clearinghouse i;' of religion." A similar Institution Is also under I way near Mobile, Ala., and after his Washing- 7 ton trip Mr. Appletun will go there to assist fn fv Wo work. 'j; BltOOKZTlf JtAILItOAVS AT ODDS. VMS?

Tbe shotting made by to-day's stock market was In several respects tbe best since the pres ent upward movement began. The lcnlln'B, though not quite as large as on seicralduysof late, were much more widely distributed, the movement of prices was moro nearly general, and It was also more uniform. There were no extremely wldo or erratic fluctuations. The market as a whole may be compared to the forward march of n largo nnd vt ell disciplined army. Although there was extenslro realizing of profits, there as equally good buying that octendod to mem bers of tho stock list that havo heretofore received little attention or been absolutely neglectod, London took a modurato amount of Interest tn the speculation. Its purchuscs vtero considerably In exciss of Us sales, and were chiefly of Louisville and Xashvlllo and low-priced stocks, particularly Houthern Hall way Issues. It appears that London has pre ceded Now York In getting over tho scare caused by the appearance of yellow fever In tbe South. The leaders vtero tho an thracite coal stocks, with Jersoy Central the most conspicuous member of that group, Union Pacific. Louisville and Nashville, Mis souri Tactile and C II. and Qulncy and South ern Itailway preferred. There was a revival of activity In Chicago Great Western at a net ad vance of nearly a point, and I'lttaburg, Cincin nati, Chicago and fit, Louis received attention that almost placed it In the list of active stocks and which lifted the price 24 V cent. Chesa peake and Ohio was a feature on account of the larffor dealings In It, which, it la understood, were stimulated by the extraordinary grain trafflo the company has begun to handle. Regarding the movement of cereals to market, It Is to be noted that tho exports of .wheat this weok aro, according to Urachtreet't, with a single exception, the heaviest on record, aggre gating 6,380,000 bushels. The flow of grain to tbo seaboard has becomo so heavy that the trunk lines have advanced tho rates on wheat from Chicago to Now York 3 cents per hundred pounds. Of equal Importance with this notion aro tho steps taken by the Board of Control of tho Joint Trafflo Associa tion yesterday to secure tho absoluto maintenance of west-bound rates. Hall way earnings, present and prospective, aro the underlying basis of tho present markot for se curities, and upon this point It is to be noted that returns from a large proportion of the mile age of tho Unltoil Ststos for July show an In croaso In not receipts over last year of nearly 15 V cent. Tho returns for August will, of course, make even a bettor showing, and thoso for this month and tho remainder of the year will un questionably be upon a steadily rising scale. It Is this fact that thwarts all efforts to bring about a reaction In tho stock market. Among the trafflo returns that came to hand to-day, tbo most note worthy were an Increase of (1120,000 In tho gross receipts of the Missouri I'aclflo system for tho second week In September, an Increase of 04,390 In those of the Northern Faclflo Com pany for the same period, and of 928,715 in those of the Wabash Company. Among tho Inactive shares ths greatest Im provement was In Lake Erlo and Western is sues. Fort Worth and Hlo Grande, American Spirits preferred, 11. and O. Southwestern pre ferred, Hocking Valley preferred, Minnesota Iron, TJuffalo, Ilochestor and Pittsburg, and Union Pacific Denver and Gulf. The last named was unusually acttvo, owing to the im pending publication of tho plan for reorganis ing the company. Interest has begun to centre again In the foreign exchange market, because rates have very nearly reached the point where Europe will havo to begin to pay cash for tho enormous amount of breadstuffs now going forward. Tbe chances aro that the movement will begin within the next week or ten das. The latest statistics regarding the anthracite trade are printed f urthor on In this column. Their appearance to-day was accom panied by reports of a probable advance In the price of anthracito at tho end of this month. Tho closing of the stock market was strong at only slight recessions from the best prices. Final sales comparo n lth those of yesterday as follows: Sept 16. Sepf. 17. 5et. 18. 849U 17.
