A Badly Bulled Market.
San JFraxcisco, Dec. 4. At today's
session of the stock exchange the bulls
succeeded in completely capturing the
market and a sharp, heavy advance too!;
place all along the line. Transactions were
unusually heavy. Consolidated Virginia
which closed at noon "yesterday at 3!) and
at the afternoon at 46, opened this morning
at 33 and in a few minutes jumped under
heavy sales to oj, closing at G1..10. iest &
Belcher opened at 25, 2 better than yester
day, and closed at 24. Gould & Curry,
one of the favorites, opening under big
sales at 13, being 3.10 better than yester
day; steadily advanced to 14; closed 13.2o.
In Oppir transactions were also large,
opened at 28, jumped to 31, climbed to 33;
fell oil to 32, advanced to 35, and finally
closed at 34.50, being an advance of (J.50
over last night. The bears, notwithstand
ing every effort, were powerless to arrest
the upgo. Potosia closed at 14.23, an ad
vance ot 3.87 1-2 over yesterday. Savage
at 18.50 showed an advance of 2.50. Sierra
Nevada closed at 10, being 8.50 better than
yesterday. Yellow Jacket climbed steadi
ly from 9 to 14.50 and closed strong.
New York, Dec. 4 The Mail and Ex
press says: The market for mining shares
this morning opened in the same wild
fashion and tlirre was further loading and
unloading of various shares, good, bad and
indifferent. Some of the slocks that
caused a ripple were old and well-known
in their day, but have been quietly slum
bering for years on the retired list. Among
those again trotted out today were such
shares as Gold, Pacer and Duraugo, and
they commanded as much attention as an'
other. The feature of the morning was
the heavy trading in Silver Cliff, which
opened around 1-8 and shot up to GO before
noon.
Just what caused this remarkable spurt
was not learned, in fact no one cared to
know; it was sufficient to know that Silver
Cliff was on its leirs and traveling at a
break neck speed to cause v, ild excitement
and a scramble for certificates. Through
out the forenoon the general list showed
considerable strength. Old trunks and
chests which have for years afforded a rest
ing place for all kinds of missing securi
ties are being emptied of their contents and
as these are scattered over ever- portion of
the country it is not improbable that the
number vol to be thrown upon the market
will result in extending the boom for some
I weeks at least.
Chloroformed and llobbed.
Mimvat'kiik, Dec. 4. A special to the
Evening Wisconsin from Neenah saj's, this
morning at 3 o'clock two burglars entered
thehoiueof E. M.IIulce.wholives just out
side the city. They chloroformed him and
proceeded to ransack the houe, but Kulce
awoke and had a battle with them. In the
struggle he pulled the mask oil of one of
his assailants and identified him as a tramp
who had hung around the house for a
week past, llulce was alone in the house,
and the burglars got about $50 in money;
afterwards they set fire to the house, burn
ing it to the ground. Hulcc narrowly es
caped burning to death; he crawled out
and laid down in the snow dazed from the
effects of the chloroform. His hands were
badly frozen; he laid in the snow about
half an hour when was picked up and car
ried to a neighbor's house, lloue and
contents were worth $10,000; insured.
Hulee was quite wealthy. The burglars
have a good start and probably will not
be captured.
Natural Gas Mishap.
Prrisnuuc, Pa.. Dec. 4. The shortage
in the gas occav'onea by the accident to tne
Chartiers company this morning did not
result in any serious loss to the manufac
turers beyond the suspension of work in
the mills and factories for three hours.
The fact is remarkable that two similar ac
cidents should happen at the same minute
fifty miles apart, and the company are con
gratulating themselves that it occurred on
Saturday morning v.hen the inconvenience
to its mill customers was comparatively
little to what it would have been had it
happened on an- othsr day.
A Temporary Pool Arrangement.
Chicago. Dee. 4. The various roado
interested in Pacific coast passenger traffic
have at last succeeded in forming a tem
porary pool on such business from the Pa
cific coast to through eastern point and
the opinion is expressed that the new agree
ment will prove so satisfactory that at it
expiration no further difficulty will lx
found in bringing about a permanent pool
iug arrangement that will prevent further
cutting of rates. The priucipal features
of the agreement are that no street com
missions shall be paid in San Francisco.
General agents of eastern lines are allowed
to pay a commission of $2 on each tick.t
via Chicago and $2 50 via St. Louis.
A Peculiar Case.
Daltimoiie, ild.. Dec. -i. In the crimi
nal court today .Jiidee Dully declared
the b,'isterdy law" of Maryland unconstitu
tional because of its conflict with lb.1
Fourteenth Amendment. The law denies
to colored women what is cranted to white
women, in that she cannot compel the
father to pey for hi illegitimate child.
The case will be carried to the appellate
court and the decision i- looked for with
much interest.
Battle Between Bruisers.
Pxttsbckg. Pa.. Dec. 4. A desperate
prize ujrht between Thos. Gillespie ami
Dvid Jeffries, heavy weight irou worker-.
took place in the rear of LiscK' steel imft.
Allegheny City, this afternoon. Eteht

EX-PBESIDENT ARTHUR'S T.YILL.
A Model of Brevity and Simplicity.
New Yoiik:, Dec. 4. The will of the
lata ex-President Chester A. Arthur was
offered for probate today in the court of
common pleas, special term, before Judge
Bcokstaver. No opposition was offered,
but on account of 'he absence of Elisha
Root, special guardian for Miss Arthur,
further proceeding was adjourned until
Monday. Following is a copy of the will,
which is a model for its kind in brevity
and simplicity:
First I direct my executors hereinafter
named to pay my just debts and funeral
expenses.
Second I give and bequeath to my
faithful servant, Bridaet Smith, the sum of
$500.
Third I give, devise and bequeath all
my estate, real and personal, to my said
executors or such of them as shall qualify
and take upon themselves the execution of
this, uvy will, and the survivors of them to
have and to hold upon the following uses
and trusts and for purposes following to
wit: In trust to divide the same into" two
equal parts or shares, and to collect the in
come of rents, issues and profits of each of
such shares, and after settlement of all
legal and necessary expenses to apply the
income of one of such shares to the use of
my son, Chester Allan Arthur, until he
shall attain the age of thirty
years, and when he shall attain such age of
thirty years, then to assign, transfer, con
vey, pay over and deliver said last men
tioned share to my said son. If my said
son die before mc, or before attaining such
age of thirty, then in either of such events
I give and bequeath his share to his issue
living at his death, and in default of such
issues to my daughter, Ella llerden Ar
thur. And upon further trust to apply the
net income of the other of said shares to the
use of my daughter, Ella llerden Arthur
until she shall attain the age of
twenty-three years; then to assign,
transfer, convey, pay over and deliver said
last mentioned share to my said daughter.
If my said daughter die before me or be
fore attaining such age of 23, then in de
fault of such eveuts I give, divise and be
queath said share to her issue living at her
death, and in default of such issue to my
son, Chester Allan Arthur.
The fourth and fifth clauses relate to the
manner in which the moneys of the estate
shall be invested. The sixth clause ap
points a guardian for his daughter, and ex
ecutors. "The value of the estate is esti
mated at $130,000.
CAPITAL JJUDGET.
EXECUTE E APPOINTMENTS.
"Washington, I). C, Dec. 4. The Com
missions of sixty presidential postmasters
will expire during the present month and
on the reassembling of congress the presi
dent will have the appointment of about
one hundred and fifty postmasters, made
duiiug recess, to send to the senate for con
firmation. The president made the follov ing ap
pointments today: George L. Johnson,
collector of internal revenue for the Tenth
district of Ohio; Thomas S. Luce, assist
ant appraiser of merchandise. Industrj-,
New Yrok, for the state of ISTew York.
THE NEW CONGKESS, POLITICALLY.
Gen. John B. Clark, clerk of the houe
of rcpresuntath es, h:iS completed and
caused to to? printed an unofficial list . of
members olhc house for the 50th con
gress and classifies them as 10S Democrats,
1.12 Republicans, 4 Independents, with one
vacancy in Rhode Island to be rilled, prob
ably by a Republican: l'Jo of them are old
members, being ten more than the number
of old members in the present congress. Of
the old members, one hundred are Demo
crats and ninety-five Republicans. If the
Independents divide as they are expected
to, equally between the two sides it will
give the Democrats a majority of fourteen
in a full house.
SIMPLE IlIIEL'MATISM.
The president is suffering from a slight
attack of rheumatism which has kept him
indoors for several days, but has not inter
fered with his work. Por the past two
days he has kept to his home in the hope
that its even temperature would effect an
carl' recovery, lie had for some years
been subject to infrequent attacks of the
sort, which" usually as now locate in the
tendons about the knee and confine him to
his room for three or four days. The
present attack is yielding to treatment
and will no doubt pass away in a day or
two.
The Pool Killer ot Dead.
Xew Yoiik. Dec. 4 Another Fourth
ward man today achie ed fame by leaping
from the Brooklyn bridge into the lla-t
jiver. The affair waa ki pt ecret and the
facts did not leak out until late thK after
noon. Michael J Ile-vs, a lalairer, was in
a saloon on Tuesday night with a party of
friends. The party had been drinking
heavily and the bridge jumping feat of
Broilie, Donav.ui and other-, tame up in

few seconds Hess nc to the surface and
was picked up by a friend who was wait
ing in a boit. He was conscious. 1 It

stimulants poured down his throat. He
revived from the shock and said that in the
period ljelweeu leaving the bridge and

Prussia.
Beiilin, Dec. 4. Debate ou the govern
ment's bill for the renewal of the military
septennate, or fixing of army estimates
for a period of seven years, as resumed
in the reichstag today. The present sep
tennate not expiring until 1S8S, and the
government's desire being evidently to take
advantage of the European crisis to secure
an increase in the peace etlective force.
All opposition parties are expected to dis
cover the attitude towards the proposed
measure duriug the present debate, which
is on the first reading, llerr Windthorst,
leader of tho clerical party, declined, how
ever, to explicitly commit himself and fol
lowers: they had no objection to having it
known that they preferred having army
estimates made for three years however,
instead of seven as proposed by the gov
ernment. Intense interest was manifested in today b
session ot the rcicustajr when it became
known that Dr. "Windehorst, the clercial
leader, would declare the policy of the
center, and that Gen. Von Molke was pre
pared to'speak. Dr. "Windehorst's speech
was cautious and diplomatic and left a
doubt as to what the Ultimate vote of the
centre would be. lie opened by suiting
that he would not prejudice the position ol
his party in subsequent divisions on the
military septennate bill by a positive prom
ise as to now the centre would vote.
The final decision of that party would be
known only when a division should be
taken on the last reading. He did not be
lieve it possible to meet the government's
desire to dispose of the incisure before
Christmas because he saw the necessity of
a detailed examination of the bill, nor did
there seem to be any special reason for an
urgency arising from the imminence of war
The alliance with Austria constituted a
present and lasting guarantee of peace in
Europe. The centre could not admit the
septennate as a permanent principle, it
would prefer to consider a triennel regula
tion, and the expediency of a two year
Utiii of service was alo doubtful.
The centre was desirous of giving ma
turecnii; kration to all (-listing circum
stand, and would ote in favor of men's
ure found t be Volutely neccsi-nry.
General YocTii-ike followed: lie Fatd
that all the neigh ixir f Germany on the
left and on theright were fully armed, a
state of things whirh even a ri'h country
was unable- to bear ftr any length of time,
and which might lead to decisive events at
a very early date. For thip reason it was
nscessary not to delay action on the intas
ure until the expiration of the 'pteunate
The preamble to the bill showed
plainly hov far Germany wju
behind other tates in the strength of h?r
army and the taxation of her people. The
French, for instance, paid about double the
sum paid by the German people, ami an
alliance with France would S3gure the
peace of Europe. But. he said, such an
alliance is impossible while public opinion
in France i:npetuoily demands the sur
render of two provinces which arc strongly
determined never to give up. (Cheers).
Continuing, he said, that the slluacc
with Austria was valuable, but a creat fctRte
must rely on its own strength. The meas
ure under coa-ideration hail reference not
alone to a jH-ace. bat to a war establish
ment, iwmucii as by the formation of a
new cadres the armv" would be raised to a
