for this old gentleman?” A brief appeal
The judge was informed
tbat'tbe still was a trivial affair, that

I * the prisoner had used it to make
• it „e brandy from the muscadines
.jtljered near his borne. The still was
reduced in court and verified its pal-
* description. Something was said
t |ije anxious wile and helpless
lulres, and that for four years the
‘ray haired mau had been a brave sol-
jier with Lee '
Tbe old man could not hear the
kindly inquiries of the judge and was
beckoned to the bench, when it was
lM med that he had been a member of
tbe famous rhillips’ Legion, and for
lour years on many stricken fields it
followed and fought where the guidon
of Stuart and Hampton led. The jud S e
said that perhaps it was not justifiable
ins legal sense for a United States
judge to take into consideration the
record of a Confederate soldier, but for
bis part he conld not help i f , that a
gallant soldier in war was usually a
ood mau in peace.

Southern Convention Meets
In Annual Session.
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
Thursday was a dizzy day iu the New
York stock market. The extraordinary-
height to wlrch Northern Pacific in
clined and the decliue of practically all
other securities made the day some
thing of a record breaker. Tbo mad
ness of speculation seems to bo upon
the country. F r weeks the stock
market has shown extraordinary activ
ity, and not since the last great panic
has such a high-water mark been
reached. The present situation can
not continue indefinitely. There mnst
come a reaction. While there is no im
mediate promise or prospect of a panic,
the great panics of the past have been
immediately preceded by periods of
sneh speculation and extravagant mar
kets as now prevail. Conservatism
has been loBt sight of — a faot which
presages danger and provokes appre
hension among the interested who
escape the fatal intoxication of the
speculative fever.

No Extortion at Memphis During Con-
federate Reunion*
Memphis, May 10.—At a meeting of
the general executive committee of the
confederate reunion last night letters
were read from out of town people stat
ing that reports had been circulated to
tho effect that visitors would be charged
exorbitant rates by hotels and boarding
houses during thereuniou. The follow
ing resolution was adopted:
“This committee, after a most thor
ough investigation, denies the report
that the hotels aud boardinghouses of
this city have advanced their rates dur
ing reunion week. Rates have not been
advaucod, but more people than usual
will be assigned to rooms. ”
With regard to providing food and
shelter to those old soldiers who do not
feel able to pay their expenses, the fol
lowing resolution was adopted:
“Auy confederate veteran in good
standing with his camp or in his com
munity. and unable to pay his way. will
be furnished with a badge, lodging aud
meals without cost to himself.”

New York, May 11.—With both the
Stock Ejtchauge and the Consolidated
Exchange closed today, aud with prac
tically nothing doiug. the “curb” on
Wall street was very quiet. Although
the exohauges were not opeu for busi
ness, all of the larger brokerage houses
had their clerks at work straightening
out the acts of speculators aud patting
thoir books in order. In the rushing
days from Monday to Friday none of
tbs usual mating out
statements was done, and it probably
will be late tomorrow night before the
balancing of accouuts will bo finished.
Many speculators went down town to
await the bank statement and to get
the London quotations for American se
curities. At 2 p. m. Loudon’s prices
generally showed advances as compared
with the close at New York yesterday,
the extreme rise being 18 points iu

were up, but United States Steel com

All interest iu the financial world re

yesterday provoked much comment, ana
today the ••street” was wondering
whether the fight of the railway giants
was to be transferred to that stock
again. The high price for Northern
Pacific in Loudon today was taken by
many as indicating that buying for con-
