MASE HUNTSMAN IS
AGAIN IN TROUBLE
Loader of tho "Angol Band" Lands
in Hnckonsack Jail -Tribulations
of a Stroudeburg Crank. ,
Special to tho Bcrnnton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Pa.. Sept. l.-Wuson T.
Huntsman, n former' tesldent of this
town, Is again In trouble. Huntsman
Is charged with performing vile acts
under the guise of religious rlRhts, nnd
has been placed In the Hnekensack, N.
J., Jail. Huntsman Is regarded by his
frieruls here as a religious crank. Of
recent years he has been traveling with
nn "angel band" on the "Lord's farm,"
at WomMirr. N. J. The band recently
has been broken up. Many old resi
dents of this town well remember
Huntsman In Ills younger days. An
old resident said: "Hemember 'Mnse'
Huntsman? I should say I do. He was
a queer stick from the time he was
able to toddle about. Haven't heard
of him for years until them angels
dancets got pulled In and Muse nt tin
head of them. He left hero when a
young man."
Huntsman proclaims himself greater
than Jesus Christ, and In order to prove
this has burned every Bible In his pos
session, declaring that he Is the living
apostle of Hod, and thai the Wide ha"
no need of being consulted while he Is
around to teach their religious duty.
Among the pious nnd highly exemplary
doettlnes which this man teaches to
his Hock and In the world nt large Is
cellba-y. This Is the solid rock foun
dation upon which he finds his fanatic
creed.
TWTERRIFIED AT WAR.
All Is Not Harmony in Ranks of
Monroe County Democrats.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, ,Pu.. Sept. 1. AH Is no!
harmony In the Democratic ranks In
Monroe county. The recent ticket
nominated at the Democratic primaries
is to bo opposed. Kx-County Treas
urer Morris Nnuman, a well known
Democrat, today announces hlni)ulf
as an Independent candidate for coun
ty commissioner. Mr. Nnuman fur
ther states that there will be several
other Independents who will soon an
nounce themselves for olllce. The
possibility of a full ludpendent Demo
cratic ticket In the Held this fall Is
not very pleasing to the party leaders.
For the past twenty-live years or
more the Democrats have ran things
to suit themselves and only until
within recent years have they allowed
n Republican commissioner to be
elected. There was a bitter opposi
tion at the primaries against some of
the candidates nominated and the In
dications point to a lively time this
fall.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review,
New York, Sept. 1. Tho feuturo of to
day's market was tho vigorous effort of
tho bulls about midday to lift tho market
out of Its listless and heavy condition
by a sharp advnnco In tho Vanderbllls.
l'ho effort miscarried and invited such
n floor of realizing that pi Ices told oft to
the lowest point of the day, which was
In many cases uh much ns $t per share
below last night's level. The bears had
11 hand in tho decline but tho demand
from shorts to cover was light and ral
lies In tho general list were of small pro
portions. The movement of railways
generally through tho morning was ex
ceedingly small either way except in a
few individual cases. Chicago and East
ern Illinois was pushed up over 2 points
above par, but relapsed nearly three
points. The movement of tho specialties
In tho first hour was a good deal mixed.
Consolidated Gas and Tonnesaeo Coal
shooting up 2 points, but Jho Tobacco
stocks, Brooklyn Transit and Sugar were
heavy In tone. Only a little beforo noon
Omaha nnd Northwestern wero pushed
up on n revival of the old story of tho
absorption of the 'former by tho latter.
About the samo tlmo tho appearnnco of
tho New York Centiul annual report
showed In detull tho rather striking
economics effected by the consolidation
of that great system. Tho result wns a
rise of S points In Omaha, 3'4 In North
western and nearly 2 points In New York
Central. A number of other Vnmlerbllts
sympathized to thu extent of iv point and
the Union Pnclflo stocks wero bid up a
point, giving color to a rumor that tho
.much talktd of trans-contlncutal con
solidation wns about to bo perfected.
Tho very heavy blocks of Union Pacific
coming out on the rise and tho detection
by the bears of selling for long uccount
brought a determined raid and realizing
movement all alot.g tho line.
Tho gains which had been extended In
sumo cnBes to near a point were quickly
wiped out and tho general level of the
market fell below last night. Brooklyn
Transit dropping 2 points. Central Pa
cific lost Hi. Tho market was very list
less during the last hour and closed gen
erally easy nt an average decllne. Lon
don sent higher prices and bought here
to a moderate extent but this support
wns without avail to sustain the market.
Tho fear of nn unfavorable bunk state
ment was a heavy weight on the market.
Tho New York clearing house banks hnvo
lost heavily during tho week both on tho
Interior movement and to tho sub.

Interior to the extent of nearly $2,000,000

are credited to tho banks but there Is
apparent loss of cash of nearly $.",000,ooo.
Thcfo Is no evldtnco of any sufficient re
duction of deposit liabilities by contrac
