NEW YORK , Feb. 2.-Heav _ Iness nnd dullness
characterized the dealings on the Stock ex-
changu throughout Ihe day , and prices Bagged
In a dejected manner , apparently from total
lack of Inteicit In the market. The day was
without nny epeclal feature , except ai It was
In contrast with the activity and buojancy of
the latter part of last week nnd the compara
tively large dealings of yesterday , The prm-
clpnl dealings of llic day were In Northern 1'a
clllc bliarcs , as has been the cnse for some
time. The report that Ihe underwriting sindl-
calo hud dlspofcd of a large block of tiock nnd
olhcr Fccurllles of Hits company 1o German
cnpllallkts , and Hint nn option 'for n further
amount wn held by the tame purchasers , In
duced the selling of Ihe piefencd stuck down
Hi per cent to 3754. Some support vvns devel
oped ut the lower flgiuc und the decline was
checked , followed by u rally of a fractional
amount. Rut In the final half hour the piefened
stock declined again nnd doted at 37H , the lowest
figure of the day. In addition to the weakness
In Northern I'aclllo thcie were Eomo special
causes which led to the declines In a number
of the high-priced specialties. The most notable
example of this factor In the dnv's situation
wait Wontein Union , which sold off n point nnd
a half on fears ns to the effect of the Indiana
stale law taxing telegraph companies , whose con-
Btllullomillly wns continued by Ihe ( supreme
court > eBlcrduy. Tobacco also afforded a lever
age for the decline through Us falling off or > i
per cent on apprehension of the thieatcned
lltlgnllon ngnlnat the trunt. Sugar- was told on
Washington rumors of Impending tnria leglsla-
tlon which would affect ihe dirferpnllnl In
the tariff on raw and refined sugar , lluillngton
vvns a depressing factor nnd fell off on lioston
selling nnd un apprehension of nn unfavor
able December statement. 'J'lip decline In those
slocks , duo to vpcclnl cauec-s , threw something
of a damper on the market nnd encouraged
an attack nil along the line , The consequence
vvns thai prices showed n tendency to decline
and the professional traders In Northern I'n
clllo nnd tlio other stocks affected , hastened
tfi lake profits on their holdings. Tlio heavy
decline In New York. New Haven & Hartford
was n feature of the day , the ex
treme decline registered breaking 17 points
to ICO , with n subsequent recovery of 4
points. The decline wn nttrlbuled to fears
of a reduction of the dividend to be shown by
the forthcoming quarterly It-port , The anthra
cite coal stocks moved In common win the general -
eral list , the range being loss marked than
heretofore , Illinois Steel was n sufferer by n
decline of 2 points on the loss favorable situation
of the trade. In iplte of the general nagging
tendency of the market there were substantial
gains In Mime of the gilt-edged becuiltles , hewIng -
Ing a icnewal of Investment purchases nnd a
good supply of money for Ute. Ixmdon opera
tions were fairly large mainly for the short
account , Tianractlons In bonds were on a
smaller scale , prices yielding In sympathy with

The bond market displayed n reactionary ten-
lency on realization by the traders , the deal
ings being largely centered In the speculative
usueu. Inegularlty was noted at Interval * . The
ostes were restricted to fraction. . The sales
were $2,3,6000. Government bonds were neg-
ecled at the board , with bid price , showing
tome slight concewlons. The dealings over the
counter , however , were very heavy on out-of-

CATTLE The receipts of cattle wore tin
migest for several days and a. considerable
proportion of the offerings consisted o
beeves.
The market on desirable beeves was falrl'
active und fully steady , but the cominoi
stuff was slow and lower , nuyora cluln
that they have been paying too much fo :
the half fat stuff , and point to the sales li
Chicago , of cattle forwtuacct from here , t <
bear them out. One bunch of cattle fo
which WTO was bid hero cold In Chlc.iqi
sit the same price and Knottier bunch fo
which J3.M ) was offered hero only brough
WW In Chicago. This naa tended to opcj
the eyes of buyers ns to the real sltuallot
at eastern markets and It Is not likely tha
they will bo aulto such strong' buyers o
common kinds as they Were last week.
Butchers' stock was In very fair domain
today , and sold In Just nbout the sami
notch ns yesterday.
Therd was considerable Inquiry for feed
ers from the country , and yard operator ;
were out enily looking for the cattle. Tin
trade was falily active and desirable grade ;
sold a little bolter" than lust week. Tin
offerings were pretty 'well cleaned up and It
good season. Kepi tentative sales :

WAI1OO , Nebr , Feb. 2. ( Special. ) The
celebrated damage case of Kendall & Smith
against Sanitary District No. 1 , or properly
speaking the city of Lincoln , was opened up
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The time
until ii:30 : was taken up in securing a jury
after which G. M. Lambertson made tin
opening statement for the plaintiffs ami At
torney Hlckctts niado the opening statement
for the defendants. Attorney Wilson for
the defense moved the court to permit the
sheriff to take the jury to view the mill prop
erty In Lancaster county , which was allegeJ
to have been destroyed or ruined by the
straightening of Salt creek. The motion was
argued at length , but the court has not yet
passed upon the motlou. The defendants
made an unsuccessful attempt to shut out
the record of ad quod damnum proceedings
which were held in 1S73 , and which gn\c
Kendall & Smith the right to maintain their
milldam. The grounds on which "this
objection was made were that tlio statute
had not been complied with. The court ,
however , permitted the records to go in as
evidence. The forenoon session today was
taken up In partially examining N. n. Ken
dall , one of the plaintiffs In the action. Over
( itty witnesses will bo examined during the
trial , which will consume the entire week.
The case was tried a year ago before Judge
Sedgwlck and a verdict for $151,600' rendered ,
but he granted a new trial on error In in
structing the Jury. Judge Scdgwlck is again
trying the case. The plaintiffs ask for dam
ages In the su n of $75,000.

WAYNE , Neb. , Feb. 2. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The coroner's jury In the Ilabh mur
der case reconvened to.lay and heard the evi
dence of three new witnesses. The testi
mony given showed that last fall Uash had
contracted a disease with which his wife soon
became nllilctsO and that they had had re
peated quarrels as to how It happened. The
testimony of Nels Anderson fallowed how and
where Hash might have contracted the dis
ease. The jury was out but a short time
when they rendered a verdict that the wife
and three children had come to their death
from the effects of bslng struck and beaten
about the head with a stone In the hands of
one Clarence Hash and that said blows were
Inflicted Intentionally and feloniously. A
warrant 'was Immediately sworn out for Itaah
on a chaigo of murder and ho will bs given a
hearing tomonow.
It now appeals that the 10-year-old son ,
while his mother was being killed , ran out
of doors In his bare feat in the snow nnU
hid In a cave , his tracks of blood showing
In the snow , but owing to the Intense cohl
returned to the house to bo annihilated by
his father.
It Is stated on reliable authority that Rash
has mailo a complete confession In every re
spect which will develop later. The prisoner
was forced to eat yesterday afternoon as ho
had eaten nothing since the night of the
murder , and ho inow oats regularly ,

and fined ? 23 nnd costs. The trial was con
cluded Monday afternoon , but Police Judge
Gordon did not render his decision until
yesterday morning. Walker appealed the
case to tbo district court ,
Judge Gordon scoied Walker for the man
ner In which ho was conducting his busi

that two contracts wcro made In the case.
In one , which was a printed form , Mlia

agreement , she wns to bo paid $40 n month

tract.
"It Bcems that this agency lias selected
