The Late President of the Illinois Cen?
tral Will Not Deny or Confirm That
He Will Have Mr. Spencer's Place?
Andrew Is Out of It.
NEW YORK, Doc. 4.?The fnct that
Stuyyesant Fish, the recently deposed
president of the Illinois Central, does
not deny the report that he Is to he
made president of the Southern, to
succeed the late Samuel Spencer,
glveB that report the strongest cred?
ence In the railroad world.
' A reporter for the Evening World
saw Mr. Fish at his home In East Sev?
enty-eighth street today and put to
him this question:
. "Is It true that J. P. Morgan has
broached to you the matter of the va?
cant presidency of the Southern Rail?
way ?"
? "If It -were true." answered Mr.
you at this time. It would not tell
festly poor form for mo to speak of
that Fort of thing at present."
Finley Said to be the Mnn.
? WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 4.?It Is
(said on the best of authority that the
successor of Samuel Spencer as pres?
ident of the Southern Railway will
not be Colonel A. B. Andrews. Ho has
told J. PIerpont Morgan that he could
not under any circumstances accept
tho place, owing to his health. He
says that ho could not possibly stand
the strain involved in the work.
From the same authority I am able
to state that practically every Sou'/i
ern Railway official advocates the se
loctlon of Second Vice President Flu
ley.
CHRI8TMA3 SHOPPING BEGUN.
Moct of the Stores are Crowded
With Gift Hunters These Days.
The Christmas shopping has . al?
ready begun in the stores of Hamp?
ton and the merchants and clerks
am being kept constantly busy dur?
ing the afternoon. It will be well
in these times for the purchasing
public to do a little shopping during
the.mornlug hours. Tho early shop?
per gets the best waiting on, as no
clerk can give you full attention
wnen the store is crowded. The
stores are rapidly putting on their
Christmas garbs and within a few
day now almost every show window
will be an announcement that Christ?
mas is but seventeen da>'3 off.
According to tho merchants the
people of Hampton and Phoebus have
accopted the advice to buy at home.
Miss Carr to Read a Paper.
The regular monthly meeting of
the "Woman's Auxllary of St. John's
Episcopal church will be held In
the parish house on Friday afternoon.
The feature of tho session will bn
a paper by Miss Nellie Car on the
"EeY1> Christian Church."
eifl Woman Paid Her Fine.
Martha Harvey, a colored woman
who tips the scales at 300 pounds,
was fined $11.80 in the police court
yesterday on the charges of using
abusive languag and disorderly con?
duct. She paid the fine.
A man's honesty may be due to
the smallness of tho bribe offered.

JEFFERSON'S GUN IS
FOUND IN PAWN SHOP
Discovery Causes tho Authorities to
Believe That the Man Has Gone
Back to the Weet.
Tho double-barrelled shot gun car?
ried by Mr. W. G. Jefferson, the
steward at Hotel Chnmberlln, who
has been missing since last Thurs?
day, was found In a Norfolk pawn
shop by Mr. R. D. Hope, 8r. yes tor
tiny. The pawn-broker said that Mr.
Jeflerson pawned the gun aud sever?
al other valuables Thursday after?
noon and stated that he wanted tho
money for the purpose of going to
Philadelphia. Tho gun was valued
nt $(i0 ami belonged to a friend of
the missing man. The pawn ticket
showed that Jefferson received only
$15 for his valuables.
Since tho discovery of the pawn
ticket the Search for the steward
hns been abandoned as the authori?
ties of the hotel nro certain now
that Jefferson's disappearance was
determined upon before he left the
hotel on Thursday.
It was learned that Jefferson hns
spent two years In n medical col?
lege, but gave up the study of medi?
cine for tho hotel business. He
hoped to learn the business nnd sonic
day become a proprietor.
A new stewnrd haB been appointed
for tho Chamberhn and It' la not
considered likely that Mr. Jefferson
Will ever return to Old Point.
?Mr. Jefferson's actions nre a
source of deep humiliation to his
friends and they declare that he
must have become melancholy nnd
pawned the gun when' In that con?
dition.

TEN PER CENT FOB MONTH'S LOAN
President's Message Had No Effect on
the Market Whatever?Vanderbllt
Stocks Go Upward Because of In?
creased Dividends In Lake 9hore
and Michigan Central.
(By Associated Press.)
NRW YORK, Dec. 4.?Tho increas?
ed stringency or tho money market j
hud some effort on stocks today. IP
spite of some strong sustlanlng influ-j
enccB, prices loBt ground ns the day
wore on. There was marked show of |
strength in the early part of tho day
In nn extensive list of special Blocks, J
but the trading usiialy active was dull [
and tho movements narrow* Tho Van
derbilts' interest made notlcenhlo ad?
vances, which were sufficiently ex?
plained by the announcement shortly
after noon of tho dividend increases
of two subsidiary stocks of tho New
York Central linos. The Lake Shore
seim-annual dividend was Increased
from two per cent, to six per cent, and
tho Michigan Central Bcmi-nnuunl div?
idend wnB Increased from one per
cent, to three per cent. Other rail?
road stocks in which tho Vanderhllt
Interests has been regarded as domi?
nant moved upward in sympathy, but I
no further dividend announcement?! |
were forthcoming.
The stringency, instead of relaxing
receded more and more. The ruling
rates for cnll loans were higher than
yesterday! although the 22 per cent.!
maximum, did not reach yesterday's
highest point. The known movements
of money Indicated a sufficient de?
crease In bank reserves to wine out
the slender surplus shown on Decem?
ber. The dnv's trnnsfers through, tho
sub-treasury amounted to ?1,250,000,
of which $750,000 to Sun Francis?
co nnd $500.000 to New Orleans. The
Bub-troasury absorption from tho
hanks since the) last hank statement
amounts to $2.073.000. Very scanty
amounts were offered on time anil the]
demand was enger, especially for |
funds carrying over tho end of the
vear, for which 10 per cent, was paid:
for fiO days 8 per cent, was bid, and |
for 00 days 7 12 per cent.
The calling In of loans by the banks j
caused increase of liquidation and
considerable declines and the closing |
was but slightly above the lowest.
The reading of the President's mes?
sage In Wall street did not effect the
day's market.
