The stock market to-day wa < the dullest for
many weeks, and price s sagged nearly all day,
though final changes in but few cases’ amount
to more than small fractions. The fluctuations
were confined to the narrowest limits, while
there was no special pressure to sell. There
were only two stocks in which the extreme
fluctuation exceeded 1 percent.. Union Pacific
and New England; while the latter developed
s dden weakness, the former was specially
strong until the afternoon, when it gave way
with the remainder. Manhattan was again
notably strong, and after opening down, ad
vanced 2 1 e-r cent. The movements in the re
mainder. except Fort Worth and Denver, which
was strong, and Canadian Pacific, which was
weak, call for no comment. The opening was
somewhat irregular, but generally firm at ad
vances extending to % per cent. There was a
momentary heaviness in the early trading. A
rally followed soon, however, and fractional ad
vances were established. The list became very
dull, and slight gains were in most cases lost
before the end of the first hour, after which
prices slowly sagged off. There was no change
whatever in the market, and It closed very dull
at about the lowest prices reached. Trans
actions amounted to 178.990 shares. Closing
prices show irregular changes, but declines are
in the majority, though Canadian Pacific with
1% per cent, was the only important loss, while
Manhattan rose 1% and Fort Worth and Denver
1 per cent. The following were the closing

Green & Co.’s report on cotton futures savs:
“The market has been slow and dragging pretty
much all day. Occasional indications of an at
tempt to neutral lie the declining tendency
might be noted, but it carried little influence,
and with the supply constantly overlapping the
demand, the cost went off steadily. Liverpool
was disappointing, there could be found predic
tions of a coming addition to tho volume of re
ceipts, and with actual cotton tending in this
direction in a more liberal manner, the hulls
were feeling pretty tiled. There was a decline
of s@? points, with no recovery, but the final
tone was steady. ”

Chicago, Dec. 15.—The provision market was
the only one which displayed life at the opening
of the Board of Trade to day. The continued
light receipts of hogs caused May pork, which
closed yesterday at sls 25, to open at sls 30, and
in the first flurry it ran up to sls 37%. Shortly
after it went back to sls 15. Then, under purely
iocal deals, it rose to sls 27% before tbe call
hoard convened. Toward the close of the morn
ing session some heavy local operators began
bulling lard, and in sympathy pork went to
sls 52%. The upward movement was also con
sidered as being due to the covering done by
shorts. Wheat and corn and oats were very dull
and fluctuated within the limits of %c.
Cash quotations were as follows: Flour

Lockyer’s Now Theory.
Cable Special to the Tribune.
Iho scientific world is startled by what
seems nothing less than anew theory of the
constitution of the universe. This comes
before the public with all the sanction de
rived from a pajier read before the Royal
Society, and with all the authority attached
to the name of the distinguished astron
omer, Norman Lockycr. The new theory,
he declares, is the result not of sjietmlation,
bat of spectroscopic research. It is summed
up in the statement that all the self lumi
nous bodies in the celestial spac'-s are com
posed of meteorites or massos of meteoric
vapor, produced by heat brought about by
the condensation of meteor swarms due to
gravity. Tills hypothesis, if accepted, may,
as one eulogist "roioarks, weld ail previous
knowledge into oue harmonious whole. At
present it is received by men of science un
der all reserves.

THE MEXICAN GI L’S STILETTO.
A Tragedy Recalled by the Finding or
an Old P stol Barrel.
Frnm the San Francinco Examiner.
A rusty pistol barrel, the relic of a dra
matic and sanguinary episode which oc
curred in this State before it had passed
from under the dominion of the Mexicans,
can no.v lie seen in one of the glass cases in
the museum of the State Mining Bureau.
The tale which is associ ited with it is one
of hot-blooded love, passion and jealousy—
a narrative such as a novelist might found a
dozen stirring chapters upon.
The remnant of the weapon, which would
have been as little thought of as any old re
volver in a pawnbroker’s shop, had it r.nt
been for the last thrilling combat in which
it figured, was recently found by a little son
of J. A. Manters, while playing in the tim
ber of the northern part of the town of
(iridley, Butte county It hail apparently
lain there for many years. The earth had
covered it, and its once glittering surface
was black and dingy with age. Tiie barrel
is 4 inches in length, and is thicker than that
of a Winchester rifle.
The boy was, of course, unaware of the
value of the old piece of metal, but jwirtief
who looked at it found that the tube was all *
right, and tliat with anew stock the
weapon would be ready for use again. It
was consequently preserved, and, being sub
jected to further examination, a small gold
plate was found by the side of the nipple.
Some letters were engraved thereon. They
had been somewhat worn away, but by the
aid of a magnifying glass it was seen that
they were “H. ilcti.”
It was then that the following story was
related:
In the fall of 1839 a party of Mexicans
were traveling through what is now Butte
county, their destination being the valley
where the town of Chico now' stands. The
train of horses and wagons with which the
men and women were journeying in the
slow style of that day belonged to a
wealthy Spaniard named Ijapesada. He
and his family constituted the principal
portion of the party. Ho had many an
acre in Alta California, and on his lands
grazed innumerable horses and cattle, but
his most prized possession was a daughter,
who was then, at ltl years of age, the very
embodiment of all that soft beauty and
sensuous grace peculiar to the women of
Castilian descent.
It was natural for men to fall in love
with her. Like all girls w-ith the warm,
passionate blood of .Mexico coursing in her
veins, her bodily develonment hail been
rapid, her affections had ripened early, and
at the age of 16 she w as already a woman.
Among those who were her worshipers
wore an American named Thomas Lousing,
who bail been born in Vermont, anil a
Scotchman named Harvv McGruigan.
They were constantly near her, and the in
fluence of her presence never allowed their
love to cool. McGruigan hail more oppor
tunities than Lansing to lie in her society
and advance his suit, since ho was secretary
to Don Lapezuila, and took his meals at
table with the family. Lansing was the
wagon boss, and had general charge of the
caravan while on the road. Both had lived
in Mexico and among the Mexicans for a
long time, and were as familiar with the
language as a native.
McGruigan was a pleasant wooer ( besides
being much handsomer than Lansing, and
soon the latter saw that his rival was smiled
upon, while ho himself had none of the
girl’s regard. Naturally fiery tempered,
Lansing conceived a violent hatred for the
Hootch man, and never missed a chance to
seek a row with McGruigan. Throughout
the journey lie had repeatedly endeavored
to involve McGruigan in trouble. It was
thus mattei’s'stood when the valley in which
Gridlev is situated was reached. There
Lansing insulted McGruigan in such a man
ner that the latter yielded to his angry feel
ings and challenged the other to a duel.
This was just what Lai>sing desired. He
had been waiting for the moment when ho
might kill his successful rival ever since the
lovely senorita had let the Scotchman
know that her heart was all his own.
None of the usual formalities of the code
were needed for such an encounter as the
men proposed. They repaired to a grove
of timber then occupying tho site of what
is at present the town of Gridlev, and there,
after a short space had been measured off,
began shooting at each other with their pis
tols. Three shots were fired by each man.
The third bullet from Lansing's pistol was
effective. The ambition of his hatred had
been satisfied, as the leaden [diet entered
McGruigan’s brain, and he fell dead.
Lansing himself hail received a bullet in his
left arm, and one shot from McGruigan’s
weapon had carried away the lobe of his
right ear.
Having satisfied himself that McGruigan
was dead and would trouble him no longer.
Lansing turned to leave the spot. Ho had
replaced his pistol in his belt and given a
last hasty glance at the face of the dead
man, when from behind the trees appeared
the girl herself. She crept up behind
Lansing and stabbed him in the neck with
a stiletto, severing the jugular vein Ho
sank on the grass and died. The girl had
noticed the two men leaving camp, hud been
attracted to the scene of the duel by the
sound of the firing, and had arrived there
in time to see the man she loved fall lifeless
to the ground. The fate of the girl herself
seems to have been forgotten.
The pistol barrel now on exhibition is sup
posed to be the identical one used by Mc-
Gruigan in that bloody contest.
