The stocc market had a true holiday apj**ar
ance this morning, the attendance being small,
and transactions few and unimportant, while
rfiovements in prices possessed but little signifi
cance except in one or two stocks. Outside in
terests were doing nothing in the market, and
commission people were idle, and while the
temrer of the room was conservatively bullish,
traders who did the bulk of the business put
nut a few short lines. Some covering in Read
ing of shorts, put out during the past two days,
gave that stock an appearance or strength, and
it advanced % cent., with New England
following. But the general list was intensely
dull, and fluctuated within the narrowest
limits A drive was afterward made at Reading
and Omaha preferred, and the latter was got
down 2 per cent., but the removal of pressure
was followed by a sharp recovery. Even Cotton
Oil was quiet, and while Burlington displayed
some strengtn toward the cloee, no other fea
ture marked the dealings. The opening prices
were steady at but slight changes from lost
evening's figures, and the list moved up slightly
under the lead of Reading and Now England,
but these gains were afterward wiped out when
Omaha preferred lost 2 per cent. This, in turn,
was neutralized, and the market became again
steady and so closed. Final changes are for
small fractions,except an advance of 1 per cent.

equally divided between gains and losses. Sales

“DON’T BE FOOLED. BEN.'*
That’s What the Hooslers Whisper,
and the Easterners Become Angry.
From the. Boston Advertiser.
The condition of the big republican who
calls on the President-elect and doesn’t win
his confidence for a single significant word
is made a little worse by the thought where
the advice coinee from and where tho confl
deuce is bestowed, that is to shape the policy
of the new administration more than any
other influence, perhaps; and this is a sug
gestion much dwelt upon by the misebiev
ous and naughty hoosicr democrats.
They point to the neighbors ho, not so
much for wuat tuey urge as for w hat the v
try to arm Gen. Harrison against, “drop
in” any time and brew trouble. They con
sider them all most excellent gentlemen and
Hoosiers, but ask what they know about
national politics, or even of Indiana politic*.
In this category are ;hoan neighbors of (4en.
Harrison, who have been most written
about in the newspapers.
There is William Henry Harrison Miller,
who, as some wicked democrat long ago
suggested, furnished the law of the firm of
Harrison, Miller & Elam, as Benjamin Har
rison furuished too aristocracy and John B.
Elam furnished the politics, tie lias worked
at Gen. Harrison’s side these fifteen years
and knows him thoroughly, and is known
and trusted thoroughly. He lives across
the street.
There is John B. Elam, a member of
the “Blick Six,” a group of republican citi
zens of Marion county who coutrol its re
publican politics.
There is Judge Woods the austere Scotch
man who sits on the Uuiteed State* district
bench
There is "Lige” Halford, late managing
editor of John C. New’s paper, whom John
C. savs is fit to be the adviser of a king.
There are usually t*o or thras army com -
rades and neighbors, like Kamsdall and
who are included in tho coterie,
and perhaps Russell Harrison, the Presi
dent's son, who has done some important
errands, and Rev. I)r. McLeod, who uied
to preach to Mrs. Cleveland in Buffalo wbeu
•be was Frances Folsom.
Thane men, tbeee mischievous fellows on
the other side are alwsye saying, drop in <
and whisper disinterestedly (because they |
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. DECEMBER 30, 1888.
are believed not to want Anything); “Don’t
let them fool you, Ben. Look out for these
big fellows from the east and west; they
will get you into trouble.” And ho, * the
mischievous ones on the other side say, the
mind of the President-elect is hardened
agiinst the advice of a real republican
leader, no matter bow wise and disinter
ested lie may be, simply because he is a real
republican leader w hom he has been warned
not to tnist and talk to. This circumstance,
also, it is maintained, not ouly has not in
spired visitors with a sacred regard for
whot small confidences they do extract, but
It has resulted in the free expressions from
different parts of the country that have
?one back to the general in Indianapolis
rom the lips that is supposed to be sealed,
and have annoyed him so much.
A STRANGE OAT
That Turns Into a Woman at Twelve
O'clock Every Night.
From the Atlanta ( Ga .) Journal.
The negroes living on the branch in the
fourth ward are very much excited.
Last week a large black cat made her
appearance in the neighborhood, and this
“uncanny” animal is what has caused all
the trouble.
Daring the day the negroes say the cat
behaves herself very well, except that she
will follow every school child she sect,
mowing in a doleful maimer, but ruuuing
awav if they try to catch her.
At night the cat changes her plan of
action and follows every mau she sees.
Her “yowlings” are mournful in the ex
treme, and have made many a darky’s
wool stand on end with superstitious hor
ror.
An old man bolder than the others was
followed by the cat one night for two
blocks.
It was nearly 12 o’clock, and, tiring of
the mournful snarls emitted by the noctur
nal wanderer, he gathered a handful of
rocks and beg an hurling them at the cat.
She climbed a fence post and the negro
declares that three rocks went straight
through her body.
He evss preparing to throw a fourth,
when the clock began striking twelve.
The cat began growing in size, and gr*du
ally took on the form of a woman, and as
the last stroke of the clock vibrated on the
air, with a fearful yell the woman van
ished.
The negroes declare that the cat is noth
ing less than the ghost of the woman who
was murdered in the ward aud whose mur
derer is still at large.
They firmly believe that the cat’s strange
conduct will continue until tho murderer is
brought to justice.
