Lawyer Jere- miah Tlerney has succeeded In having the Con- necticut Legislature pass a resolution releasing any claim that State might have to the real property belonging to the estate of tho lato Nicholas Cassldy through the operation of tho law of escheat. Cassldy came from Ireland twenty-fiv-e years ago, and earned a small for- tune at the cobbler's bench in Greenwich. He died last summer. Through economy and good real estate Investments he had accumulated an estate valued at 910.000 or $50,000, and several years ago retired from activo business. He never married, and was always reticent regard- ing his early life or family connections. When, however, ho learned that ho had not long to live, ho sent for Lawver Tlerney and told him that when he left Dublin he had two sisters living there, and be desired to will the property to them or their heirs. Tho will was drawn accordingly, but as the heirs wero aliens, and could not In- herit real estate under the law. It was provided In tho event of their not being able to take tbe property that It Bhould be given to the Itoman Catholic Church of the diocese of Hartford. It was learned that both of the sisters of Cassldy had married and had children, though one of the sisters was dead. Upon the presentation of these facts to the Legislature the resolution was voted through, and now the estate vt) 11 bo settled nnd the money sent to the heirs of Cassldy In Dublin. They bad heard nothing of his where- abouts since he left Ireland. mmazAitiEs j.v scotch plaixs. A Series or Seven That Are (laid to Have Oc- curred Wltfcla an Hear. Prac? field, X. J., May 20.

Premier Greenway of Manitoba, who has been attending the Jockey Club races, has left for the West after a confer- ence with Sir William Van Home. President of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The two met here, and Greenway assured Van Home that tbe people of Manitoba were determined to get relief from the present high rates charged on grain by the Canadian Pacific from the West. He had arranged with New York capitalists to build a railway to Manitoba from the American boundary, and the province will put up the monov for It. If. however, tbe Cnnadian Pacific Is willing to grant Manitoba shlnpers a reduc- tion on freight rates the new railway project would be dropped. The Standard Oil people are building a rail- road to some mines they own in the north- western part of Minnesota, and Greenway has induced tbem to agree to extend the line to the boundary. If this project Is carried out tho Una could afford to make a cut in rates that would bring It much grain from the Canadian north- west.

The distinct change In sentiment that has ta- ken place In Wall street since the of the week resulted In a further covering of short contracts on the Stock Exchango There waa also a noticeable Increase in the volume of commission business. Another interesting- fea- ture of the market was the reluctance ot profes- sional traders to sell stocks at the advance, with the view of profltlncr by a reaction which many of them, influenced by recent precedents, aa inevitable. They were restrained from doing1 so by the fact that has been patent to many observers of tho market all along-- , that there is no liquidation by actual holders, and that the bulk of the selling has been by themselves. A slightly higher market for American securities In London counted for very little here, because foreign arbitrage houses ap- peared as moderate sellers at the early advance. Tbe more hopeful feeling that prevails In and about the b'tock Exchange can be attrib- uted in part to tho belief encouraged from Washington that the Tariff bill will now be progressed rapidly. This view may prove to bo a mistaken one later on, but it pre- vails at present and is an Important factor in the current speculation. Tho decision of the United States Supremo Court that the Inter- state Commerce Commission docs not possess tho power to make rates has, also been effective in changing the temper of those who aro Inter- ested in securities, either for investment or spec- ulatively. The dealings in stocks, though somewhat smaller than yesterday, were rather better dis- tributed, and, in spite of sales to take profit in the latter part of the day, a large number of stocks closed materially higher than yesterday, and the tono throughout was decidedly stronger. The most extensive trading was in the Granger stocks, but Sugar IteQnlng, Jersey Central, Western Union, and Chicago Gas scored the most important net advances. Atchison pre- ferred received even more attention than yester- day, and made more pronounced progress toward a higher level. The only stock that made an unfavorable record was Baltimore and Ohio. A sharp decline In it was accompanied by reports that the company, or, rather, the receivers, will be unable to make the payments due June 1 upon tbe terminal bonds and several other obligations ot the company. A detailed statement regarding the present condition of the company's finances is printed in another column. Gold to the amount of $000,000 will be exported making the total this week 2,900,000, and since the present movement be- gan a little more than 916,000,000. shipment, of which less than one-hal- f is taken from the had no effect whatever upon the stock market.

miah Tlerney has succeeded In having the Con-

necticut Legislature pass a resolution releasingany claim that State might have to the realproperty belonging to the estate of tho latoNicholas Cassldy through the operation of tholaw of escheat. Cassldy came from Irelandtwenty-fiv-e years ago, and earned a small for-

tune at the cobbler's bench in Greenwich. Hedied last summer. Through economy and goodreal estate Investments he had accumulated anestate valued at 910.000 or $50,000, and severalyears ago retired from activo business. Henever married, and was always reticent regard-ing his early life or family connections.When, however, ho learned that ho hadnot long to live, ho sent for LawverTlerney and told him that when he leftDublin he had two sisters living there, andbe desired to will the property to them ortheir heirs. Tho will was drawn accordingly,but as the heirs wero aliens, and could not In-

herit real estate under the law. It was providedIn tho event of their not being able to take tbeproperty that It Bhould be given to the ItomanCatholic Church of the diocese of Hartford. Itwas learned that both of the sisters of Cassldyhad married and had children, though one ofthe sisters was dead. Upon the presentation ofthese facts to the Legislature the resolution wasvoted through, and now the estate vt) 11 bo settlednnd the money sent to the heirs of Cassldy InDublin. They bad heard nothing of his where-abouts since he left Ireland.

The two methere, and Greenway assured Van Home thattbe people of Manitoba were determined to getrelief from the present high rates charged ongrain by the Canadian Pacific from the West.He had arranged with New York capitalists tobuild a railway to Manitoba from the Americanboundary, and the province will put up themonov for It. If. however, tbe Cnnadian PacificIs willing to grant Manitoba shlnpers a reduc-tion on freight rates the new railway projectwould be dropped.

The Standard Oil people are building a rail-road to some mines they own in the north-western part of Minnesota, and Greenway hasinduced tbem to agree to extend the line to theboundary. If this project Is carried out tho Unacould afford to make a cut in rates that wouldbring It much grain from the Canadian north-west.

Wednesday, May 20.The distinct change In sentiment that has ta-

ken place In Wall street since the ofthe week resulted In a further covering of shortcontracts on the Stock Exchango Therewaa also a noticeable Increase in the volume ofcommission business. Another interesting- fea-ture of the market was the reluctance ot profes-sional traders to sell stocks at the advance, withthe view of profltlncr by a reaction which manyof them, influenced by recent precedents,

aa inevitable. They were restrained fromdoing1 so by the fact that has beenpatent to many observers of tho market allalong--, that there is no liquidation by actualholders, and that the bulk of the selling has beenby themselves. A slightly higher market forAmerican securities In London counted for verylittle here, because foreign arbitrage houses ap-peared as moderate sellers at the early advance.Tbe more hopeful feeling that prevails In andabout the b'tock Exchange can be attrib-uted in part to tho belief encouraged fromWashington that the Tariff bill willnow be progressed rapidly. This view mayprove to bo a mistaken one later on, but it pre-

vails at present and is an Important factor inthe current speculation. Tho decision of theUnited States Supremo Court that the Inter-state Commerce Commission docs not possesstho power to make rates has, also been effectivein changing the temper of those who aro Inter-ested in securities, either for investment or spec-ulatively.

The dealings in stocks, though somewhatsmaller than yesterday, were rather better dis-tributed, and, in spite of sales to take profitin the latter part of the day, a large number ofstocks closed materially higher than yesterday,and the tono throughout was decidedly stronger.The most extensive trading was in the Grangerstocks, but Sugar IteQnlng, Jersey Central,Western Union, and Chicago Gas scored themost important net advances. Atchison pre-

ferred received even more attention than yester-day, and made more pronounced progresstoward a higher level. The only stock thatmade an unfavorable record was Baltimore andOhio. A sharp decline In it was accompaniedby reports that the company, or, rather, thereceivers, will be unable to make the paymentsdue June 1 upon tbe terminal bonds and severalother obligations ot the company. A detailedstatement regarding the present condition ofthe company's finances is printed in anothercolumn. Gold to the amount of $000,000 will beexported making the total this week

2,900,000, and since the present movement be-

gan a little more than 916,000,000.shipment, of which less than one-hal- f is takenfrom the had no effect whateverupon the stock market. The closing waa strong,at slight recessions from the best prices.
