After being mourned ns dead for almost half a cen tury William Dennis turned tip today; In (rood health nnd with every Indica tion of being a wealthy man. lie Is at present u guest nt a leading hotel in East Stroudsburg. Some years ngo the belief of the friends of Dennis that 'he was dead was ttrengthened by a dispatch which read that William Den nls had been shot dead on the steps of a bank In Colorado. Dennis Is better Known In this town ns "Bill" Dennis. Ho Is a son of the late James Dennis and his mother Annie, Is still living at the advanced age of SI. Dennis looks like a "forty-niner" in many ways. When questioned about his life since he left home Dennis said: "I left home and went to 'the gold country In 1831." He seemed very modest obout telling of how successful he had been. It Is learned, however, that he owns twenty acres of mining ground nt Eureka, North Sierra county, Califor nia, which has every prospect of turn ing out well. "I struck Young's Hill, California with $1.C0 In my pocket," paid Dennis. "'Board was J10 per week or $1 per meal. Naturally I had to hustle. I labored around, until tho following spring and then obtained permission to clear off the bed rock of an old claim from which I and my partners took out $1,500 In dust. Then 1 bought a claim In North Yuba but got nothing but rattlesnakes. The reptiles were so thick that we used to have to shako our clothing before put ting It on and thoroughly search our bed at night. Later we secured a gravel placer claim nt Young's 111, taking out $15,000 In about four years, working but three months each year. Then wo bought four more claims In, different sections, which all paid more or less dust." INSTITUTE AT MONTROSE. Thirty-Second Annual Gathering of Susquehanna Teachers.

Thcro was a short lived demonstration by the bulls today In tho stock market, but before trading was suspended the early gains wero largely curtnlled nnd. In some cases more than wiped out. The strength was attributed to various causes. The re-appearance this week upon tho floor of tho exchange of ffev cral operators who took a largo part In last sprlng'u bull market and who have been away on long summer va cations gave something of a till-up to bullish sentiment. The quiet tone of the money market yesterday In the face of the operations Incident to the change of old Central Pacific securl tics for new encouraged some senti ment for a rise. There were one or two stocks in the list which wero not ably strong from Individual causes which wero rumored, but authorita tively disclosed, and whlc,h helped to sustain prices. Among theso wero Pullmnn and Great Northern pre ferred, although the latter more than lost the early gain. The Ualtlmoro and Ohio stocks wore conspicuously strong, the common rising an extreme 2 nnd the preferred, 2. La Clede gns continued Its ndvanco and reached as high ns SO. The Grangers, Louisville nnd Southern Pacific were quite well taken early In tho dny, apparently by pool Interests. The public was not evidence at any time during the day. Call money continued at 6 per cent, or below in splto of the fact that many banks report their cash still be low the legal reserve. But while the money rate does not tighten a num ber of Industrial stocks, especially those classed as "green" In AVnll street parlance, showed signs of weak ness as might happen if they were subjected to discrimination by money loaners In the shifting of loans. The glucose stocks were notably Effected, the common dropping nearly 8 points and the closing near the lowest, while tho preferred lost 3. Tho Iron and steel stocks ns a group also weakened simultaneously, steel and wire leading with an extreme decline of 2. Others of the group suffered to the extent of between 1 and 2 points. This unset tled the bull movement nnd wiped out pretty much all the gains In the Ami dealings to a level for the most part slightly above last night, but the snap seemed taken out of the movement.
