THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Rovlcw.
New York, May 18. Tlio Improved tono
abroad was the salient Influence on tho
market, but It wns aided by various fa
vorable domestic factors In the situation.
There was In the tone of the utoek market
a reflected Indifference to the possibility ot
action by the senate on tho Cuban ques
tion thnt might be unacceptable to Spain,
This was partly due to tho belief preva
lent in Wall street that the administra
tion has determined upon u conservative
policy on Cuba, but holders of securities
nro also less Inclined to timidity on ac
count of tho agitation of the Cuban ques
tion than was formerly tho cafe. Per
haps tho restricted volumo of tho trading
was due In part to tho Cuban discussion
In the senate, tho total sales reaching only
about 133,000 Bhares. Although about the
half this amount was absorbed by tho live
leading stocks, the smalter sales were bet

PitUtun o in ii n Tries to Brown Her
self in New York City.
PIttston, May IS. An Associated
Press dispatch was published In to
day's papers, dated New York, as fol
lows: "Kitty Joice, the 21-yenr-old
daughter of Judge Jolce, of PIttston,
Pn., and niece of Judge Lynch, of
Wllkes-Bnrre, Pa., attempted sulcldo
by drowning In Centrul Park this
morning'. iShe wns prevented by n po
liceman ns she was preparing to throw
herself Into the lake. Miss Jolco told
a story of love In connection with
Jack Woods, the son of a wealthy man
of Denver, Colorado. Woods brought
her to New York nnd established her
In flat, where a child wns born. In a
quarrel last night. Jack slapped Kitty's
face. Love's dream was over nnd the
attempted suicide followed. Tho girl
was held In default of $500 bonds."
There Is no Judgo Jolce at PIttston.
Judgo Lynch and Attorney 13. A.
Lynch, of Wllkes-Barre, both deny any
knowledge of the girl, and say they
have no relative of her name or de
scription. Tho Now York Sun tele
graphed their representative at rltts
ton about the matter and the latter
could learn ot no such person. Tho
representative, however, believes the
woman to bo Mrs. Kitty Joyce, widow
of Peter Joyce, ono of tho victims of
the Twin shnft disaster. The attempt
ed suicide answers her description, and
as Mrs. Joyce led a rather reckless
life since her husband's death, her rel
atives at PIttston believe It to be she
who attempted tho rash act.

cording to tho grade of yarns usnd. Notwithstanding theso
undeniable facts
