NEW YORK. June 10.—The usual re
suit followed today In the stock mar

That is. some moderate outside demand
was attracted. The sufficiency of such
a new demand to absorb the profit-taking
sales on Monday by the professionals who
have bought stocks on the week-end
rise, is regarded usually as a test of the
Ifa* strength of the market. Regarded
in that light, the action of prices today
aid not serve to confirm the appearance
of strength last week. The moderate ad
vances of the first hour were yielded al
most entirely before the force of the
profit-taking sales. The subsequent leth
argy of the market was attributed to the
desire of the operator to see the com-
niexion of the Government report of con
ditions of the wheat crop before ventur
ing on commitments. It was not until the
appearance of this report, which was
delayed until 2 o'clock, that anything
like animation revived the stock market.
It gave prompt evidence then of relief

The Tybee Mob Casa.
The case In which it was reported to
the police that an armed mob of ne
groes went to the house of Amanda
Vinson in Tybee and by force ran
away a- white man who had been
boarding there, did not develop -any
sensational features as was expected.
It did not come out in the evidence
but the officers have been informed
that fl. negro named John Alvord. who
was shot in the fusllade. has since
died. When shot he was led away by
members of the attacking party that
he might not bo discovered, but no one
now seems to know how bndly he was
shot, or whether or not he is dead.
There were no evidence that Jeff
Winn had a gun or that hp shot, but it
was clear that he was at the house
and that he was one of the crowd that
broke in the door.' For this he was
fined ten dollars. T>ti Gordon, who
was arrested as being also one of the
party, proved an alibi and was dis
missed.

Changed His Mind.
C. A. King is a white man and is
unknown in police circles. He raised
cain at the house of a Mrs. Ruth Car
ter and was arrested by Officer Hardy,
and as he seemed to be passive no ex
tra precaution was used to carry him
to the police station. When nearing
the box. however he swore he would
never be arrested and fled, leading the
officer a lively chase. Yesterday morn
ing. about 5 o'clock, he was found by
Officers Jackson and Lavender gohu.■■
in the direction of Mr. Carter's house. ■
and was caught. Thereupon he
changed his mind as to being arrested.
He made a woeful appeal to tlie Re
corder, saying he was the, only support .
of his -mother, and promised ail sorts
of good things. He was fined ten dol
lars on each of the charges of fight
ing and resisting an officer.
Took the Boy's Dollar.
Andrew Jackson, a negro man.
working at the crate factory, asked
Cicero Simmons, a boy working at the
same place, how much money he hud
received for his week's pay. The boy
took the monev out of his pocket and*
showed him. Jackson took a dollar of
the money and refused to give ii up.
Tn consequence thereof he was bound
over to the City Court on the charge of
larceny. ^
A Snd Case.
One of the saddest oases enacted tn
the Recorder's Court for a Jong iimo
was that of a 13-vear-old white girl
charged with drunkenness The mother
of the ehild said she had taken only a
glass of beer, but the officers wh ■>
found both mother and child on th»
city bridge after 1 o'clock Sunday tes
tified ih;n the child was not only
drunk, but using bad language to her
mother. The officers tried to m-il:o
the girl go home with her mother, but
she refused and it was found necessar-.-
to lock her up, much against the will
of the officers. She was fined $2.50.
