Market Quotations From the
Leading- Business Centers
YORK STOCK MARKET:
NEW YORK, May 6.?There were
?r.king elements of strength in today'ii
stock market owing to the effect a hat
most' of the day's Changes are on the
side of losses.
The bull sentiment had several severe
drawbacks to conitend with and the
selling pressure on 'the market was at
[lines very heavy. Agia'in and again
t'he buying demand was sufficient to
overcome all ?bfftactes and to absorb
ail offerings, carrying prices upward
on a large volume of business. It ws*
not until tlu- ftoJl hour that the market
finally succumbed to the burden of li?
quidation and yielded practically all
earlier gains and established lo-ses
ranging up to 2 per cent in some of the
>i>ec laities. American stocks were
'heavy In London 'before t'he opening
here in sympathy with a general de?
pression in that market. The resump?
tion of t'he gold import movement has
been cited as a bull argument, but the
withdrawals of gold from Uondon and
Europe have resulted in a renewal of
ftringent money conditions there. This
in turn has weakened the speculative
market and nas induced large seW?ng
? if Americans because of the goud inar
k-.-t. for them existing 'here and mure
I'vt-ticularty the purpose of relieving
the demand for exchange. The indion
t'ions were t'ha't the New York market
would have successfully absorbed t'hese
offerings Tiad it not been for the deve'l
imcnt of t'he Lafyette episode w.hich
used some timidity among buyers.
The bond market showed .t.he effect of
elling for London account 1n. come
' the .^peculat'ive Issues as did 't'he
_.ock merket. Otherwise t'he tone was
strong and prices <rre generally 'higher.
The total sales of stocks today were
490,300 shares.

Out Again.
The sudden collapse of Thursday
night's meeting ot the town council,
caused by the withdi-.avftl of Messrs.
Segar Whiting and S. S. Cunningham,
was the leading local topic of discus?
sion yesterday. The action of iV.a,
councilmen in leaving the chaml? .
met with butli condeiutiation and ap
proval. Those who favotji admitting the
Bell Telephone Company to the city on
equal terms with tne liome organiza?
tion are out-spoken in their disapprov?
al ot the course of the two councilmen.
while of course. those who think the
Bell should be kept out lind it easy to
justify their retirement. The question
raised by the incident transcends the
telephone controversy. It is doubtless
safe to say that a majority of the citi?
zens of the city, regardless of their
feelings with respect to the contention
between the two companies, believe
that Messrs. Whiting and Cunning
bain should have remained at their
posts. Indeed, expression was given
to this opinion many times yesterday.
It was not generally known that the
application of the Bell Company would
be received at Thursday night's meet?
ing. Mr. Foster, who was absent,
knew it, because Mr. Cumming, the
attorney for the Hell people, had called
upon him during the day and informed
him-that the request for admission
would be presented. Mr. Foster was ill,
hence could not attend. As lie was
the only absentee it is argued that
liiere was no valid reason for post?
poning the public business by breaking
the quorum. Many people with bills
against the city were forced to go
away without their drafts and, in some
cases, it is said, the unceremonious
adjournment has worked hardships.
Hut the most interesting feature of
this childish and tiresome controversy
lies in the fact?if information obtain?
ed by the Daily Press correspondent Is
worthy of credence?that the policy of
the town law-makers is marked by a
decided political tint. The colored pop?
ulation of the city is represented by
Messrs. Andrew Williams aflTi Simon
Bryant, two of the best known and
most popular colored men in the coun?
ty. How they would have voted on
the telephone question cannot be stat?
ed, but there is reason to believe that
they would have supported Mr. Book?
er's ordinance. But. however that may
be, there appears to be a disposition to
antagonize them on account of their
color. Oddly enough, however, both
their friends and their foes tire mem?
bers of the Democratic party. Hut It
must be said in behalf of the two col?
ored members, despite the antiphathy
toward fhem. that as members of the
town council they have conducted
themselves in a manner worthy of
commendation. Hither of these nu n.
if he were Inclined to So so. could re
lute a most sensational, but absolutely
truthful, story growing out of his
councilmanlc experience. If it is ever
told?and ft may be before many days
?the names of several widely known
men will figure in it In star roies. It
will reveal a. combination of polities
and boodle which will afford the gos?
sips in both petticoats and pantaloons
an abundant of chatter-box material
for months to come.
But the question at the present time
is. will the Bell get in? There is a de?
cided ilisposltion to believe that the
action of Messrs. Whiting and Cun?
ningham will make friends for the ap?
plicant. Hut whether it will or not ;h ?
Press cannot say. The homo compa?
ny's service has undoubtedly been
greatly improved recently and those
who. a few months ngo, were wont to
complain, are now satisfied. There
a good Newport News and Norfolk
service and everything is being done
by the company to please its patrons.
But the Bell promises to give the p o
ple bettfr telephons at the same priee
charged lry the home people.
CONVICTION OF CAPT. PALMER.
His Strange Conduct While on the
_\VItness Stand.
Captain John Palmer, of .the Soldiers'
Home in this city, who wuts charged
with altering a marriage certificate in
order to obtain a widow's pension for a
woman named Oarrett. was on Thurs?
day adjudged guilty by a jury in the
United States court at Norfolk. He
was ably defended by Attorney F. S.
Collier, of this place. The trial lasted
but one day.
Captain Paimer. it -is said, was intox?
icated when he toot: the stand. .He
Is also said to have/weakened his case
by several rather violent reference^ to
Commissioner TuoMer, of the Home.
Mr. Tucker is said^^fo ahve been
friendly to the pw*oner. but several
questions propounded to him by Dis?
trict Attorney White were not answer?
ed as Palmer 'thought they should have
been and he immediia.iely proceeded to
experss his disapproval in strong terms.
Mr. Collier went back to Norfolk to?
day and will move that 'the veteran be
granted a new trial.
FIGHTING A COUNCILMAN.
Movement on Foot to Oust Capt. C. S.
Foster.
A movement is on foot here to oust
Captain C. S. Foster from the Town
Council and to install Mr. .1. W. Rowe,
the wholesale grocer, in his place. The
ground on which the effort will be
made is that Captain Foster is no
longer a resident of the ward from
which he was elected. Shortly u/tar
leaving the Barnes' Hotel be took- a
house in the lower section of the city
and imcmdiatcly some of bis constitu?
ents in the First Ward raised the ques?
tion of his right to serve. Mr. Howe
who resides on Mel rose avenue, a short
street which leads off from Armistead
avenue at the power house, wus se?
lected to succeed the captain and yes
terduy a petition asking the Council
to appoint 'him was circulated in the
'West. End. The purpose of the grocer's
friends was to Jay the petition before
the local lawmakers laet night, but
Messrs. Wrhiting and Cunningham
spoiled their plans by retiring and
breaking the quorum.
The removal of Captain Foster, how
ver, is said to be merely incidental to
the aceomplisbmenx of a much mjore
important matter. The captain from
the moment the application of the New?
port News and Old Point Railroad Com?
pany for the right of. way through the
city was filed, has been friendly to the
enterprise and was one of the four
members that voted in its favor.
The ordinance admitting the new
litte was passed some time age.
and It was generally believed
that the railway question, su far
as the council was concerned, was set
tied. 1l lias been known, however, for
three weeks that an effort would be
made to secure a r- emsideration of
the vote by which- the ordinance ?a*
passed, provided the two colored court
oilmen?Messrs. Williams and Bry?
ant?could be convinced that it was
their duty tu support the movement.
It is said that till efforts in this di?
rection have failed and that the
colored councllnien are firm in their
stand in favor of the road.
Attention was then culled to the offi?
cial seaip of Captain Foster, and it is
charged that Mr. Rowe. who is a pop?
ular man. but who is said to be opposed
to tin- new line, was put forward in or?
der to strengthen opposition to the new
cX.'terpriue.
it was also ex peeled th:i;t Council?
man Segar Whiting, who tendered hi.;
resignation several weeks ago. would
retire las; nigh*, and that, Captain
Sehermerluvt-n. the agent of the Old
li, ruin on Steamship Company here,
would take his place. Captain Scher
merhorn is also said -to 'be opposed to
the new railroad, and he.-.ce if he and
Mr. Rowe are installed the Reach Line
will probably have a peck of trouble
on its hands.
CAST EVENING'S STORM.
The Most Severe Kver Known in tili?
Vicinity.
No such hail storm as that which
pelted earth for ten minutes yesterday
afternoon in recorded in the meteori
logieal records of Elizabeth City cuiin
ty. It came on so suddenly that people
on the streets were pelted by the ball
stones before they could reach a place
of shelter. Little children out. on er?
rands were caught in it and ran as
fast as their chubby legs could carry
Uiem for the nearest open doorway.
Two tots, hardly more than five years
old. were quietly wending their way
homeward on upper Queen street when
the icy missies began dropping thick
and fast and bard around them. They
carried an umbrelia. and although the
protection it afforded was meagre, it
can hardly be doubted that it saved
their little heads from the painful ef?
fects of a lligid fussilade from the sky.
They dodged in Mr. Davis' marsh
market store badly frightened and
thorouafrly drenched. The lop of a de?
livery wagon belonging to Mr. J. T.
Ree. the grocer, was hopelessly riddled.
In almost every section of the city the
sidewalks were white with the blos?
soms beaten from the shade trees.
Chickens were killed and flour gar?
dens in the resident quarters were
pounded to pieces. Fortunately the
hail was unaccompanied by wind. Had
this not been the rase the window
glass men and the glaziers would have
had a first-class business cinch this
morning. The storm began about 5
o'clock and lasted ten minutes. Hull
stones as large as walnuts were picked
up after it. ceased. The streets were
white with the icy pebbles. The rain,
however, soon restored their natural
color.
Considerable damage was probal>Ay
done to the crop in the country. Tht
farmers on Mill Creek suffered severe?
ly, it is said, and fear that the peas
have been "destroyed. Mr. James
Mitchell, one of the leading farmers ot
the county, says that the hail stones
along Mil! Creek measured 2 inches in
diameter.
