KINGS AGREED TO ARBITRATE.
And Tt )ir Differences Were Amicably
Adjusted.
Yeurday Mr. and Mrs. J. C. King,
the unhappily mated West Lackawanna
avenue Junk-dealers,' woke up to the
fact that they are spending a whole lot
of money in alderman's fees and re
solved to withdraw all the prosecutions
begun on both sides and go their several
ways in peace.
The adjustment was effected in the
otllce of Alderman Howe, before whom
Mrs. ICIng was arraigned at the ln
ctauce of her husband on the charge of
assault and battery. It was agreed be
tween them that they would not at
tempt to live tojether any more end
that neither was to have any more claim
on the other than if they had never met.
It developed that the cause of their
trouble was the husband's failing for
cards, which kept him and his money
away from the house. His excuse was
that he had to do something to keep him
awake nights till his wife got asleep,
and as the national game was the most
eflicaclous means at hand, he adopted It.
SAYS HE WAS LIBELED.
Odd Kind of a Charge Preferred by a
Railroader.
John McAndrew, of Moscow, a Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western brake
man, went before Alderman Wright
yesterday and swore out a warrant
charging Harry Gould, of the sme
place, with libel.
The allegation Is that Gould spread
broadcast the false and defamatory re
port that McAndrew, reported a brake
man for drunkeness, so that he might
have him discharged and get his Job.
: An officer will go-to Moscow with a
warrant for Gould this morning.

V.) tomorrow for the grand school ex
cursion to Lake Ariel. ,
MARKETS AND STOCKS
- Wall Street Beviesr. -Jfesr
York, June It The failure of
any . sensational rumors current yester
day to materialise led to a general cov
ering; Movement at the stock exchange
today; and the market was strong from
start 'to finish. The circulation, of the
reports yesterday which led to the need
less sacrifice of small holders wts much
dircucsed today. ' It can be stated that
the matter will not be permitted to re3t
there either and that already an investi
gation is on foct with the object ot
bringing the Instigators of the false re
ports before the -governing committee
of the stock exchange. Two members
of the board are under suspicion and
every effort will be mafle t Te ne
whole thing to the bo. torn. There were
no traces cf jtotu,. , s w -..... a., at
the opening of the market this morn
ing and prices Immediately Improved
4' per cent This checked selling
for the long account and frightened the
Bhorts Into covering. But little stock
was. forthcoming at the advance and the
bears were compelled to come In the
market and bid for securities. ' Under
this process prices gradually lifted and
at the close of the whole list showed
gains of anywhere from V to 2 per
cent. Commission houses were 'In re
ceipt of fairly large orders, the first In
weeks past, yesterday's break having
attracted outside buyers. The main
factor In brftiglns; about the change for
the better was the statements by peo
ple alleged to have close connections
with the McKlnley combination that
the St. Louis convention will come out
strongly in favor of sound money in the
platform to be adopted next week. J.
Plerpont Morgan nUo csmo out with an
Interview in which ho dwelt upon tho
necessity for tn out and out gold plank.
Mr. Morgan stated that In this event,
European capital would again be in
vested here. The belief that but little
gold will be shlppfd this week stimu
lated purchases. London had a rumor
that there will be large shipments of
the metal from New York shortly.
Local exporters, however, know noth
ing about it and said that everything
hinges on the. position taken by the
political parties at St. Louis and Chi
cago. The adjournment of congress
and the favorable government crop re
port Induced some buying for the long
account. The greatest gains were made
by Sugar, the- Grangers, Louisville and
Nashville, the Southwosterns, Tennes
see Coal and Iron. As a rule the best
figures were current In the final trans
actions. Manhattan was weak on the
leasing of the Fourth avenue horse car
line to the Metropolitan Traction com
pany. The latter Is to pay an annual
rental of 3 per cent, for the first five
years and 4 per cent thereafter. Net
changes show gains of U2 per cent,
outside of Manhattan, which lost
per cent. Chicago, Great Western
common Just listed sold at C?7.
Total sales were 1P5.082 shares.

dogs and ponies are placed in different
positions on the pyramid, the stage lJ
