Bears Make Another Raid on
Railroad Stocks.
Sew England the Principal Point of
Attack.
northern Peelfio and Industrials Alio
Depressed—A Receivership for
the New England Road
Minted At.
B7 the Associated Press.
Nsw York, Feb. 24.—A decidedly
bearish sentiment existed in Wall etreet
this morning, bnt the day developed a
material change in this respect, and
while resistance was given to the de
clines in the leading weak stocks, the
market as a whole showed a disposition
to break away from the influence of
these stocks, as their movements were
the resnlt of a special cause and not
justified by the general situation. The
outgo of gold for tomorrow was rednced
to a mere nominal sum, and money waß
decidedly easier than for some time be
fore the holidays. While little attention
was paid to tbese infinences, they evi
dently had fnll effect, and weak, feverish
and unsettled speculation changed into
strong trading.
Feeling at the opening was very un
easy. The liquidation in New England
waß believed to be by no means com
plete, and hints that the Beading was
in a crippled condition threatened to
make it a heavy load. There were
broad hints of onsting McLeod from the
receivership. Even Northern Pacific
was threatened with a receivership, and
thongh insiders most emphatically de
nied the possibility of snch a thing,
liquidation in its stock continued.
The market opened excited and very
active, Belling being largely by shorts.
The losses at the start ranged np to 1%,
Western Union leading. Whisky, su
gar, cordage and lead were subjected to
specially heavy pressure among indus
trials, and New England and Northern
Pacific among railroads. Heading was
stubbornly held and comparatively
Quiet. Cordage broke 5 ! „, sugar 4',,,
New England Distillers North
ern Pacific preferred 2. The last-named
afterwards recovered all the loss and
more; distillers nearly recovered; the
others made partial rallies. At 11
o'clock the market was active and firm
•t a rally.
After 11 offerings of stocks became
very free, and prices, as a general thing,
retired to abont the lowest point. Sugar
was especially pressed for sale in the
belief that the sales of the last few days
bad been by a pool, and the price
dropped to 111%. New England went
to 31 ' 4 , againat 37 last evening. Coalers
were strong, however, rising 1%@2. At
noon the market waa active and firm;
slightly above the opening.
After being driven down to tt&, New
England rallied 1 per cent. Demand
for Beading became urgent and ad
vanced 2, from 29%. Lackawanna
gained 4%, at 147; Delaware and Hud
eon, 3}£, to 127>8. The appearance of
White in tbe sugar crowd reversed the
course of the stock and a rally of 3 per
cent, to 114>£, followed. Cordage sym
pathized with a like advance to 00,
while the strength of the rally disap
peared toward 2 p. m., as the covering
of shorts slacked away, and prices again
receded from the highest point. The
market at 2:15 was still active and again
heavy, with railroads aa a rule at close
to the beat, but with the leading weak
stocks only a slight gain over the lowest.
Stocks were active and steady in the
last hour. Sugar advanced 1 per cent
more. The market cloeed active and
firm.
Notwithstanding the denial of the ru
mors about New England, the decline
waa not checked and the stock closed
weak. The only other prominent fea
ture of the market dealings waa sugar.
The belief was general that the liquida
tion in progress waa for the account of
the pool, and a decline of nearly 5 per
cent to waa established in the fore
noon. This was recovered in the after
noon. The general list showed a firm
temper and fractional advances were the
rule.
Boston, Feb. 24.—The officers of the
New York and New England railroad say
they know nothing of any application
for a receivership and believe the report
ia false. They say there is no ground for
it, as the company haa no debt it cannot
pay.

with Dave Blanchard. Mitchell Bent a

not reluctant in saying that the fight

dy and I came to a final settlement. I
have not the remotest doubt the match
will take place, and either Corbett or I
will be the champion of the world be
fore many months. I cannot say if arti
clea of agreement have been signed. I
have some regard for American prisons,
and it would not do for me to say I have
already signed or intend to do co."
Brady will go to Canada within a few
daye and co will Mitchell. It may be
that Mitchell and Brady eigned a formal
agreement to meet in Canada. When
questioned on the point and asked what
will be the object of his going to Can

ure trip. Baird and I will make a short
tour of the states and Canada. We

Seconds Arrested.

early apparent that it could have but
one reault—victory for Hawkins. Miller
waa punished severely and grew weaker,
each round. Hia seconds advised him
to throw up the sponge, but he declined,
delaring he was not Buffering greatly.
Finally, in the 15th round, the Swede

eitation was reached, he failed to show
eigne of consciousness.

concussion of the brain, and a fatal issue
wsb expected. At 1180 a. m., however,
reports are tbat Miller ia recovering con
sciousness and there is a better chance
for hia recovery. No charge hae yet
been made against Hawkins and his
companions.

THE SOLONS AT SACRAMENTO.
Another Busy Day in the Leg
islature.
The Reassessment Bill Debated in
the Senate.
Ousting: of the Railway Commission
Again Deferred—County Division
Bills Advanced in the
Assembly.
By the Associated Press.
Sacramento, Feb. 24.—1n the senate
this morning the resolution to remove
tbe railroad commissioners went over
until 3:30 this afternoon.
Carpenter's substitute for the assem
bly reassessment bill, submitted by tbe
majority of the committee on corpora
tions, and Seawall's minority eubatitute
were both read.
Carpenter moved to adopt the majority
report.
Seawall spoke at length in favor of
the minority substitute which proposes
to collect taxes from the railroads re
assessed back as far as 1879. Carpen
ter's bill levies a re-assessment back to
1884. The amount of the former ex
ceeds the latter over $2,000,500. The or
iginal bill provides for re-asseßsment
since 1882. An urgency motion wae
made by Ostrom to adopt the minority
report.
Seawall said he had no animosity to
the railroad companies of the state and
waa willing to concede the great good
they have done in developing the state,
but in the matter of the payment of
taxes the railroads had not done their
duty and had not complied with the
laws.
Carpenter said, in favor of the adop
tion of his bill, that the minority sub
stitute, if it became a law, would pro
duce between $1,500,000, and $1,750,000.
The minority substitue includes pen
alties, costs and attorneys' fees.
The supreme court has de
cided that one company cannot
be taxed. The minority bill seeks
to re-enact laws which the supreme
court of the United States haa decided
unconetitutional. The court decided
that the board of equalization had no
right to assess a federal franchise, aa
they had done, yet this minority bill
would have thia franchise included.
The assembly bill to prohibit prize
fighting came up for Becond reading. It
waa ordered to third reading by a vote'
which indicates that it will be made a
law.
The reeolution to oust the railroad
commissioners, which was the special
order for 3:30, was made a special order
for that time Monday.
The vote on the reassessment substi
tutes resulted in the adoption of the
majority substitute by a vote of 22 to 18.
In the senate tonight, among other
bills passed were a bill to compel cor
porations and persons engaged in bank
ing to publish semi-annual statements,
and Maher's bill relating to tbe fore
closure of mortgages. The second read
ing of billa followed.

CLEOPATRA'S RIVAL.
Chios Bradway Has Her Seventh Elope
ment.
Miss Chios Bradway has run off again.
This is her seventh eiopement. It was
learned thia afternoon from a reliable
source that Bhe left her home in Center
ville about 8 o'clock last evening;, and
came to Fresno, says the Expositor of
that city of Thursday, and took the mid
night train for Loa Angeles. The man
she ran away with thia time ia Baid to
be Ed Yonng. Brock Limbaugh accom
panied the runawaya aa far ac Fresno aa
a guard, and to take the horae and cart
home.
The outfit waß a borrowed one, the
horse belonging to Fint Overhall and
the cart to William McKaley. In this
borrowed rig they all three came to
Fresno, and Limbaugh took the horae
and cart back.
Thia ie the Beventh time the girl haa
eloped, and ehe ie not quite 17 years old
yet.
She hae a mad desire for fame, and
wante to rival and eurpaea Queen Cleo
patra. She thinks ehe can do it by a
large number of elopements. Her friends
have tried hard lo break her of her
foolishness, but in vain.
She eloped once with Brook Limbaugh,
and twice he haa gone with her and
thoee who were running away with her.
She evidently thinka Limbaugh a pretty
fine young fellow. He goea along to
protect her and her lovere, and then
when he gets a good chance he runs off
with her himßelf.
It will probably not be long before she
will be heard from again.
WILSON BURNED OUT.
His Home on Thirtieth Street Consumed
Last Night.
The honae of John Wilson, on Thirti
eth and SanPedsy streets, was destroyed
by fire at midnight laat night.
Mr. and Mre. Wilßon were in bed
asleep at tho time tbe house caught fire,
and had a narrow escape. Mre. Wilson
received some quite serioua burns before
Bhe got out, and ehe wae taken to a
neighbor's houee, where her injuries re
ceived attention.
The house, which was probably worth
$4000, and all the contents were entirely
conaumed. There was no insurance.
How to Save Doctor Bills.
[Chicago Daily Calumet.]
Many a doctor's bill has been saved
by the use of Chamberlain's Cough
Eemedy. The name is a household
word in many parts of the country.
Chamberlain's medicines have an ex
tensive sale in the world's fair city and
many people testify to the merits of
their different remedies. For sale by
0. F. Heinzeman, 222 North Main street,
druggist.
The Hollenbeck hotel has changed
hands. Messrs. E. G. Fay Sc Son have
sold their lease of the popular hostelry
and the furniture. The purchaser is
Mr. A. C. Bilicke, formerly of the Paci
fic Ocean house, Santa Cruz, Cal. Mr.
Bilirke is a hotel man of experience and
will undoubtedly not only sustain the
excellent reputation the Hollenl eck al
ready has, but will add to it. Mr. Bil
icke will take possession of the hotel on
the Ist. The price which governed the
transfer haft not been given.
As she enters
•womanhood, every young girl needs
the wisest care. Troubles beginning
then may make her whole life mis
erable.
But tho troubles that are to bo
feared havo a positive remedy. Dr.
Pierces Favorite Prescription builds
up and strengthens the system, and
regulates and promotes every proper
function. It's a generous, support
ing tonic, and a quieting, soothing
nervine—a legitimate medicine, not
a beverage, free from alcohol and
injurious drugs. It corrects and
cures, safely and surely, all thoso
delicate derangements, weaknesses,
and diseases peculiar to tho sex.
A remedy that does cure is one
that can be guaranteed. That's
what the proprietors of " Favorite
Prescription " think. If it doesn't
give satisfaction, in every case for
which it's recommended, they'll re
fund the money. No other medicine
for women is sold on such terms.
Decide for yourself whether some
thing elsp sold by the dealer, is
likely to be "just as good" for
you to buy.
