NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK. Nov. IS.?There were I
weak points in the stock market today,
but the underlying element of strength |
promised at one time to overcome
obstacles and carry prices uniformly |
to a higher level. Apprehension <>
weak showing in tomorrow's bank !
statement, turned the tide toward the
side of reaction in the late dealings.
The level of prices in most cases was
carried sharply below last night, and
net gains remaining were very much
reduced from the extreme advance
the day. The most influential factor I
in causing weakness was the obvious
liquidation going on in Northern Pa-1
eillc, which is attributed to be one
the leading financial interests of
property.
Delaware and Hudson was raided
down to 93 3-4. with accompanying ru?
mors of dividend reduction. This is |
the lowest price for several years
is an accurate rellection of the deelin*'
in the anthracite trade, other stock
affected by the trade falling in sympa
thy. Notwithstanding these elements |
of weakness, the market showed g<
recuperative power, the 'buying of p.
pie's Gas particularly being a sustain-]
ing factor.
'I'll- expectation of an unfavorable
bank statement is based on the known
activity of the week in the money mar?
ket, which must have largely increased I
the reserve requirements by expansion!
of loans. There is nothing in the (
icncy movement to the interior, oi
sub-treasury operations to indicate
large increase in cash to meet the
riuiroments so that a further dem
in surplus is looked for. The local I
money market continued easier today. |

FIRST SOLDIER DEAD
The Body of Private Curtis
Laid to Rest.
CASE .0 BEARGUED TODAY
The Trial or the AHt'grlt ICIoll-m Nrarii>e
the Kud. A Utk?? Appealed. That
I'liuelMit SUmulng. Other
I.'.<?'? I Mut t-ra.
The mortal remains of the lamented
Keith Sinclair Curtis, a private in
Company D, Fourth Regiment Virginia
in Ian try. United States Volunteers, ar?
rived in Hampton from Jacksonville.
Fla., via tIn1 Chesapeake .Si Ohio train,
shortly he-fore noun yesterday. The
body was escorted by Lieutenant V. I,.
Daougherty. Corporal Scull. Private
Fayette Curtis, brother of the deceased,
and .Mr. Edwin Curtis, another brother
whow as with him when he died. The
remains and escort were met at the
railway station by a large gathering of
people who hud braved the unfavorable
weather to pay a tribute to the mem?
ory of tin' deceased, and were escorted
to the family residence, on Newport
.News avenue, where the funeral ser?
vices were held.
Rev. C. IS. Bryan, rector of St. John's
Episcopal church, read the beautiful
ritual for the dead from the Episcopal
service, and spoke appropriately and at
some length, impressing the mercies of
God and man's duties toward God.
When the services at the house had
been concluded, a procession was form?
ed and followed the bier to the old
family burial ground of the Sinclair
family, at Thorpland, York county,
where the body was consigned to its
earthly resting place near the grave of
the mother of the deceased.
At the train the body was met by
First Sergeant Harry Holt and all the
other members of the company now at
home on furlough, or recently dis?
charged from service, and by the local
chapter of the Sons of Confederate Vet?
erans, of which the young man was a
member.
The Moral offerings were many and
exquisite, the casket being almost bu?
ried in blossoms.
The County Court, which begans its
session at 10 A. M. ad.ioufned out of
respect to Sheriff Curtis and to give
tin: court officers the desired opportuni?
ty to attend the funeral.
This is the first member of Company
D. the old Peninsula Guards, to give
his life to his country in the war with
Spain. All tile other members of the
company were willing to do so if ne?
cessary, but the fact remains that Pri?
vate K. S. Curtis was the first to lay
down his life in his country's service.
Some of the other volunteer compa?
nion of the State and the citizens of
the towns and cities have erected mon?
uments or started movements to erect
them in honor of their soldier dead. It
is a graceful act to thus honor patriot?
ism and devotion to duty, it matters
not whether the soldier dies in camp of
disease or on the battlefield.
ARGUMENT BEGINS TODAY,
Trial of the Riot Case Will Be Con
eluded This Afternoon.
The trial of the four young artillery
recruits, indicted for rioting and de?
stroying, or attempting to destroy, a
dwelling house in the night time, was
resumed in the County Court yesterday
morning. Judge Lee presiding, and oc?
cupied the court's attention all day.
Upon convening in the morning the
taking of testimony was begun, a com?
monwealth's witness going on the stand.
Several more witnesses for the prosecu?
tion deposed, after which Common?
wealth's Attorney Collier rested his
case and the defence began. There were
but three witnesses put on by the de?
fence, the testimony in the case being
concluded by 4 P. M. At that hour the
jury was adjourned until today, while
the counsel remained in court to con?
sider the instructions. The common?
wealth is willing to accept practically
unchanged all the instructions offered
by tlie attorney for the defence, and lit?
tle delay is expected in arguing them.
The argumerii of the case before the
jury may. therefore, be expected to he
gin this morning soon after court con?
venes for the day. and will probably
continue until the dinner recess, possi?
bly longer.
Both the commonwealth's and de?
fence's witnesses were sharply cross-ex?
amined by the opposing counsel wher?
ever their testimony seemed at all in?
consistent or vulnerable, and the ses?
sions were enlivened by several objec?
tions and protests and a few spats be?
tween opposing counsel. Mr. Hughes
and Mr. Collier. Mr. Hughes is making
a strong defence of his clients and Mr.
Collier is prosecuting with great vigor.
The jury may lind the prisonersTiot
guilty and discharge them, or it may
lind them guilty merely of the charge
of being engaged in a riot, or it may
also find them guilty of destroying the
dwelling house. If found guilty of riot?
ing a jail term or a fine may be imposed,
and if found guilty of destroying a
house a penitentiary term is the pen?
alty. The case will prnTiably go to the
jury early in the afternoon.
The case of the commonwealth vs.
Gambriell, charged with felonious as?
sault, in which the jury disagreed, will
not be tried again this term, but will
go over until the next term of court.
The court will probably conclude its
business and adjourn on Tuesday. The
term thus far has been a busy one. and
a considerable amount will be paid out
in witnesses' fees.

A SMOOTH CHECK FLASHER.
Ho Victimized a Local Merchant In the
Tune of $16.42 or Its Equivalent
A well known merchant ?f Hampton
was victimized by the smooth work of
a check flasher on Thursday night, a
discovery that was not made until yes?
terday, and the smart individual went
on his way rejoicing. So far as now
known he is still on his way and still
rejoicing.
On Wednesday night a man named W
11. Howell. and who is also said to be
known by the name of Tanner, a paint?
er who had been employed by Mr. W. II
Shackleford, went to the store of Mr
Hunter Hooker with a check lor $.'17.-,
signed by Mr. Shackleford and which
was all right, having been paid him for
services by Mr. Shackleford. save thai
it had not the required revenue stamp
This defect was remedied, but Mr. Hook?
er, not having the change at the lime
did not cash the check.
Howell then went to the stoic of Mr.
II. M. Muster and asked to be shown
a mackintosh coat, a very natural pro?
ceeding on a rainy night, lie was ac?
commodated and found a c ool lo suit
him. for which the merchant wanted
$:">. The bargain was made and lhc pur?
chaser tendered a check for $16.42 in
payment. The cautious merchant hes?
itated, being somewhat shy of cashing
cheeks for strangers, hut tile purchaser
reassured him by referring him to Mr.
Bunker, and. in fact, he went with him
to Mr. Hooker and asked him ir "thai
check" was not all right. Mr. Hooker,
thinking Howell referred to the $."..7",
check tendered him a short time before
which was all right, promptly replied
that it was. To make assurance doubly
sure, the coat purchaser went lo anoth?
er merchant and asked him if his check
was not gooil. and was told by the mer?
chant that he had been cashing I hem
every Saturday night and had always
found them all right, doing back to
the store, the merchant still hesitated,
whereupon the purchaser, with appar?
ent impatience and indignation, tender?
ed the goods to the merchant and de?
manded his cheek in return. This was
conclusive, for the merchant then re?
ceived the check and gave the stranger
the coat and 11.42 In cash.
Early yesterday morning Mr. Shackle?
ford, discovering the missing cheek
from his book, promptly went to the
hanks and forbade payment. Then Mr.
Mugler learned that he had been vic?
timized, but the artist bad gone, and
omitted to leave any forwarding address
for his mail. The chiefs of police of the
surrounding towns were promptly no?
tified, hut so far no tidings of the man
with -lie mackintosh have been had.
Curt he'' than the statement that he went
to Old Point. Thereafter his trail is a
blank
It is; also ( barged that Howell forced
fan entrance into Mr. Shackleford's shop
to procure the blank check. If this be
true, he is liable not only for uttering a
forged check, but (or housebrcaking
also.
SHOT-IN BOTH FEET.
Unprovoked and Dastardly Attack on a
'> Woman by a Soldier.
Ma/leline Collins, the young woman
who iwas shot through both reet by an
unknbwn soldier after midnight Wed?
nesday, was taken to a hospital Thurs?
day for treatment and Is doing as well
as could be expected. It is honed that
no permanent lameness will result from
the diastardly act. The same shot ap?
pears, to have entered one find. and.
penetrating that shattered the bone,
passed out and entered the other foot.
An operation had to be performed to re?
move fragments of bone and reduce the
fracture.
Th'2 shooting was done by a soldier,
whom the injured woman claims to be
able to identify, but whose name she
does not know. It appears that he de?
liberately placed the woman's feet to?
gether and then from his position on
one side of her fired the shot. He dis?
appeared soon afterward and as no de?
scription has been obtained on which lie
could be identified no warrant has been
sworn out. As soon as the wounded
woman is able she will point out her as?
sailant and he will be brought to jus
lice. The deliberate and apparently un
; rovol'.cd crime has been very generally
and i trnrgly condemned.

?"i'wo Thanksgivings" was read by iis
author. Miss Rose Dexter and Misses
Ruth Gren and Essie Brinson recited

The society meets every other week
and live questions will be discussed. The
next subject for debate, to be. considered
two weeks hence, is: "Resolved that
Hampton should pass a local option
law." The disputants have not yet been
announced.
TROLLEY CARS COLLIDE.
Two trolley cars, a freight handler
and a closed pasesnger car, came to?
gether with eonsKb-ral: icHnce tu li?
the Sherwood Hotel yesterday about
noon. Particulars of the collision are
difficult to obtain, but it was learned
that no serious damage was done. The
vestibule attachment of the passenger
car was demolished, but the car itself
was not telescoped or seriously injured,
and was able to make its trip back to
Hie power house ? by iis own motive
power. None of the passengers nor car?
men was hurt.
It is stated that he passenger car at
the moment of the collision had just
slipped its trolley and could not be con?
trolled in time to avert the crash, nor
even to diminish its severity. Such
mishaps are often unavoidable and,
from the best information obtainable,
this seems to have been a case of that
kind.
THE CASE APPEALED.
In the case of A. D. Sager. who was
fined $2(10 by Justice L. P. Fulness a
! few days ago for selling liquor without
j a license, an appeal has been taken to
the County Court by the defendant,
who gave the required bond. The case
will probably come up in the County
Court on Monday.
The Daily Press representative is re?
liably informed that this case was
worked up by Officer Shean, although
the warrant was sworn out by Officer
Mastin. Sergeant Cunningham, too,
I deserves credit for his share in the case.
In this connection it may be well to
state that the Dally Press does not de
I su e to deny to any man the credit to
! which he may be entitled, nor to do any
. man the slightest Injustice. It merely
I wishes to publish the news, the facts
as accurately as they can be obtained,
without discrimination.
