While Going to a Fire.
DUNMORE.
What might have been a serious
accident occurred to the Century Hose
company on ita run . to yesterday
morning's lire. Going down the steep
descent from the Spruce street bridge
to Jefferson avenue the horses couia
not ac-t a foothold in the mud and the
weight of the wagon pushing from be
hind, caused them to break into a run.
When the turn was attempted at Jef
ferson avenue one of the horses slipped
on the street car track ana railing
down caused the other to alBO tumble.
Luckily the wagon was not over
turned. The horses after much diffi
culty were extracted and the run to
the fire resumed.

John Moran and Thomas Rafter of

them for a few blocks bemoaning tho
departure of her son because he was
leaving an unsettled buanL bill. A
neighbor who interested himself In
the case telephoned to pollca headquar
ters that two men were robbing an
old woman on Stone avenue. Patrol
men Duggau and Sartor were hurried
ly despatched to the scene and on their
way thither were met by tho neighbor
aforementioned, who pointed out
Moran and Rafter as the two men who
committed the deed. They were locked
up in the Centrul station house, but
when an Investigation showed the
true state of affairs, they were ordered
to be released. Rafter was allowed
his liberty, but Moran, who,' it seems,
is wanted for some misdoings on the

Wall Street Review
New York. Aug. 14. In the early

shares of Louisville and Nashville and
certain of the low priced issues. An
average decline of about V4 per cent re

ease of sterling exchange and the abil

little more bullish feeling. As the day

It Is not amiss to say that Investment
orders are few nnd far between. This
condition is likely to continue until the
commercial situation, improves. The
reports of failures from day to day and
the Indisposition of the banks to lend
money on time Is not being lost sight of
by any means by stock operators. As a
rule the best prices of the day were
current around 2 o'clock. One of the
leading bears was a prominent buyer
at this time and It Is estimated that his
representatives succeeded In covering
about ten thousand shares of Sugar and
St. Paul; Manhattan, however, scored
the greatest gain, rising from 74 to 78V&.
Sugar rose from 100 to 1044, Burling
