NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
NEW YORK. Sept. 2.?There was a
brief period of activity on the slock ex
change this morning and- a brisk dc
mand manifested for a r.-w storks, but !
the dealings became more and more
perfunctory as the day progressed. The
market was under the combined inllu
enco of the exhausting heat, the tight?
ening iiionov market and the aprpoach
of the Labor Day holiday. It had fall?
en into complete legarthy by noon and
the governing committee wore induced]
to reconsider their refusal to close the
exchange on Saturday and decided to
suspend trailing from 4 o'clock today
until 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning.
The announcement of this decision
? I, monstratod that the weakness of
some sn.eks earlier in the day had
been dm- to speculative short selling,
shown by demand to cover shorts.
Manhattan scored an extreme Improve?
ment after marked early weakness of
2 and tobacco, after a loss of nearly
four points recovered 1 8-4. The early
activity centered in the Pacifies, the
preferred stocks showing special
strength on the decision of the North?
ern I'acillc directors, announced later
in the day to put aside a reserve fund
of $8.000.000 to insure the continuity oT
preferred dividends. The common
.stock fell off a point on selling by hold?
ers disappointed in expectation that the
{surplus would -be distributed as a div?
idend tm the common slocks.

! II is hinted here that Mr. R. O. Tuck?
er, the I'h.n'hiis saloon keeper whose
establishment on Mellen street Was
lirok.'ii open ami the stock ami fixtures
i!estr,.yerl by soldiers and sailors on the
evening' of Sunday.. August 21. contem?
plates: iiling a suit for damages against
the county. Mr. Tucker himself has
not made public any such statement.
i however, but he lias friends who think
that he should !>.? compensated out of
the vouiity treasury for the losses
which he sustained ns a result of the
attack on bis place.
While Tucker probably has the sym?
pathy of tl.ntirc sal.,on element of
I'll.Kluis, it is quite likely that tlc.se
dealers who lake time to think before
they leap would not. if they were con?
sulted, advise him to carry bis griev?
ances into the courts. Notwithstanding
his denial that he s-old liquor during
tl:.- early part of-the day on which his
trouble occurred, there are numbers of
men who say that they are ready 10
stand before a jury and swear that he
did. and hence these conflicting decla?
rations have caused doubts as to the
wisdom of seeking redress to take p is
session of Hie minds of some of his
brethren in the saloon business. Until

sh..1. Tucker's place was one of the
most quiet in town. The police were
seldom called upon to suppress disorder
there and by many people the propri?
etor was regarded as a law-abiding citi?
zen. Hut since then il has been assert?
ed that Sunday was his best day and
that the good name he enjoyed was due
to tiie clever manner in which he man?
aged to conceal his clandestine trans?
act'!,,11s. It is easy, therefore, to see
bow. wet-.- he to enter suh and lose, the
entire saloon traffic in Phoebus might
be affected by the result. A legal inves?
tigation would be certain to involve
others and would beyond doubt have
the effect of augmenting to a most dan?

TN A NEW ROLE.
A Woman Whose Tongue Wagged Her
into Jail..
Minnie Criss. one of the most cele?
brated characters -of Chesapeake dls
tri.-t. was brought here yesterday to en?
joy for a season the varigated aim s
phere of the county prison. She did not
...me as herself, however, but as an?
other w oman, her name appearing upon
tin- blotter in the sheriff's office as Min?
nie Rice, it is possible that since the
last of b*-r numerous compulsory visits
to Ute city, she has succeeded in Und?
ing a man willing 10 risk the desper?
ate chance involved in the act of hook?
ing up in double harness with her. but
this statement is supplied by nothing
si longer than conjecture.
There is ample ground for the infer?
ence that Minnie does not believe that
the scriptural admonition to the effect
that there is more real glory in curbing
one's spirit than in taking a city, ap?
plies t i women. At any rate, it is cer?
tain that on day before yesterday she.
fail.-d to honor the principle laid down
in tiie Solomonic adage. Instead she
ga\.- fie.- Veil! toller spirit and for half
an hour or more indulged in a gralui
. us d-splay of vocal pyrote. h'Viics com?
pared with which ?her most famous
former efforts sink to the doubtful dig?
nity of m. re barroc>ni squabbles. Min
i nie's profane loquacity, which was
! aimed with especial reference to- the
I cars of Oeorge Rice and Henry Picker?
ing, was stimulated by several copious
draughts . f Sugar Hill booze, the qual?
ity of which, like Porita's mercy, is not
strained, and which is guaranteed to
prodtie.? a roaring drunk within the
brief space of twenty minutes:
Minnie is sorry now that she did il
and but for the fact that she keeps a
keg of repentance on lap. Justice Fnr
ness might have taken an extra pull at
his Bismarkian moustache, which is
said to be a sure indication that his
fund of sympathy is beginning to assert
itself, before announcing lhat he had
ligured out her indebtedness to the
State to be $25, not including costs.
WILL MEET MONDAY.
Several Political Circuses Promised on
T'.'.at Day.
It has been settled that the Republi?
can district meetings announced for
next Monday will lake plat e according
to schedule arrangement. All will be
intensely interesting, lint that at Phoe?
bus, where the Bowden element is the
strongest, promises various and sundry
circus features which will enable it to
easily carry off the palm.
As a matter of fact politics in this
county from now until the close of the
campaign will be characterized by nu?
merous romantic incidents. Roth par?
ties are in the midst of appar?
ently unsolvable muddles. Not only is
the house of the Republicans divided
against itself with respect ? to the se?
lection of a Congressional candidate,
but many members of the party
declare their intention to bolt the local
ticket unless it bears the names of men
who can be fully depended upon to
rigidly enforce the law governing the
sale qf intoxicating liquors.
On the Democratic side the absence
of harmony is almost equally marked,
and. excepting the fuel that there is
some dissatisfaclit.il with the action of
the late Congressional convention at
Ocean View . I be differences in its ranks
are due to the same causes. The sim?
mering of the cauldron is already audi?
ble ami within a month or two it will
be at the boiling point.
SHEPHERD MALLOIl TOUT.
Announces Himself a Candidate for
Congress.
Shepherd Mallnry, one of the best
known and most popular colored poli?
ticians of this s-ction, yesterday un
furlecSLhis banner as ii Ttepublican can?
didate for Congress. No colored citizen
of the county enjoys a better reputa?
tion as an upright man, while with re?
spect to general Intelligence he stun.Is
in the attitude of an example to his
race.
1- Candidate Mallory does not expect
the nomination, of course, but in view
of "the mixed up stale of affairs in the
tanks of his parly Iiis friends see no
reason why he should not make the race
independently, fie is not without expe?
rience in public life ami has an exten?
sive acquaintance among the leading
colored people of tin- district. "I am a
candidate for Congress." said lie yes?
terday afternoon, "and am going to do
my liest to win." Thus day by day the
already complicated Republican situa?
tion becomes mote and more mixed.

A TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.
The Yankee Nation Hailed as the Hap?
piest and Mightiest of People.
Editor of the New York Sun:
Sir- You will pardon a Frenchman if
he rises up and calls for tin. cheers
for the American people and three
times three for your grand old Yankee
mil ion: As a son of the youngest re?
public I am delighted to pay tribute to
the oldest, best and mightiest repub?
lic.
How marvelously you plan! How
bravely you tight! How decisive your
victories! How magnanimous with
those you conquer! You are really
i bid's chosen people. I.k at your re?
cord. Twice within thirty years you
lowered the pirate Mag of infamous An?
glo-Saxon England?in 17$:'. and lSir..
Thirty years later you brought Mexico
to her knees. In lSfifi you ended the
greatest of civil wars. Today you are
celebrating your marvelous victory
over England's great rival in land pira?
cy, namely. Spain. All these wonder?
ful triumphs are the work of your na?
vy and valiant citi'/.en soldiers, for you
have no standing army as we under?
stand the world. Hail! the giant re?
public! the republic that knows no de?
feat, that is based on manhood and in?
telligence.
You American people are blessed a?i
no other people are blessed in the extent
of your territory ami In your climate
and resources, and you deserve it all.
You are fortunate in another respect:
you belong to no one race. You are not
Celt. German, Frank. Saxon, Scandi?
navian or African. You are a compo?
site people, made up of the best or llt
test of all races. The world is your
mother country: your strength lies In
the fact that you are not a race, but a
people having the virtue of all races
and fewer ..f the vices.
You Americans have taught the world
a lesson. It is hard to provoke the ea?
gle, but once provoked he strikes hard.
I have heard some sneering critics.
Englishmen and Frenchmen, say that
Spain is weak, therefore you conquered
In r. What nonsense! You would win
if the foe were England for the third
time, or Germany or Russia, or even
my own beloved France or Italy.
America triumphs because she is
brave, and because she always fights
for the tight. Your first great war was
to crush Anglo-Saxon tyranny; your
next war was waged to prevent the
perfidious Saxon from robbing you of
the fruits of your first victory. Your
next great struggle was waged to pre
aserve your Union and to liberate the
colored race. And now. you crown
your great work by putting an end to
Spanisli rule. I believe it is God's will
that the American flag should float
in triumph all over the Western hemis?
phere. So he it. Brave. patriotic,
magnanimous Americans! I salute
you. and give you an old French
soldier's benediction.

BUILD BALCONIES

Why are not a!! apartment houses
furnished with balconies'.' A man that
owns or rents a house can sit on the
doorstep and enjoy the cool of the

would be to those that are now stilled

Tims at Minister in Westphalia the
town council has decided to put a tax
on halcutues ??b for those which pro?

those that ate less ambitious. "The
Council has decided that the balcony
is frivolous, lends itself to idle gazing,
a spirit of criticism, and a tendency to
unpractical tlirtation." This sounds
as though it came from the Cuitnecti
ct:t of earlier years. Rut our friend
the Classical Scholars assures us that
the owner of the lirst balcony built in
ancient Rome taxed personally his ten?
ants. "Maenius," a Roman citizen, let
his Ionise to the censors, Onto ami

and came into personal resilience there,
in order to keep an eye on them."

Even Saxon courtesy may he carried
a little too far. When about to return
from a Bohemian village to a frontlet
town in Saxony, the occupants of a

passed the guard post without lei oi
hindrance to the merry tingling of the
sleigh bells. Laughing and joking at
the st'ccess of their little dodge, they
called at a wayside inn for refresh?

the party exclaimed:
"Why, the foot-warmers are quite
hot!"
Then the boots of. the inn stepped

"The foot-warmers wer 2 quite cold
