Ford, the Committee on Trade of the Produce Exchange, to whom waaref erred by the Board of Managers the Inaction of the attitude that the Exchange ahoald take with reference to the advisability of the repeal of the Sherman law. made a report declaring the law' to here been one of the main causes of present commercial troubles and earnestly recommending its repeal.

The Board of Managers approved and adopted thia report and directed that a copy of it bo sent to each of the Senators and Representatives of this State in Con-' greae. The report will be printed in the form of a petition and circulated for signature by members of the Exchange. Tbo Stock' Exchange, always quick to anticipate events, began yeaterday to dis count wholeeome financial influence, and in spite of reports by no means favorable and of efforts to magnify rumors of little importance and turn them in the wrong direction, the market held steady and in many eases there were fair advances in acuities. The small remnant of bear operators who till tried to do something in the market started a report in the afternoon that the President had died at Buzzard's Bay, but oven this desperate expedient failed to have any effect, for of course no one believed it and every one suspected its origin. Just before the close of the market there was an attempt on the part of the calamity hunters to bid up the rates for money.

It happened that plenty of money was on to loan at moderate rates, so that the movement in this direction also had no effect exeept to confound those who had engineered it As against these negative influences there was some actual good news that everybody had to recognize. The August Victoria, arriving in port yesterday afternoon, brought about $225,000 in gold from Europe, Although this shipment was not large, financiers recognized it as an indication that the tide of gold Va really turning, and must shortly flow in force from Europe to this country. This import of gold made a total of 1725.000 received here from the other side of the ocean within the last ten days. It is confidently expected that in spite of effort in England to keep gold from coming this way, shipments will soon be the demand of trade, and that 'having once started, it, will be quite as difficult to stop their continuance aa it waa a while ago to stem the stream of gold eo-tegto Europe. While gold turned into the aaaay office does not count bji an ImiKirt ri tlw.mrh Jit may hare coma from abroad, the good i ue "ways acquires something when it includes deposits of foreign gold With the Government Assay er.

The peopld of Buffalo, who are in favor of pure election, have no alternative but to stand by and see these men, whom the Grand Jury held, tried before jurors most of whom will go into the box determined to acquit Or disagree. Edward W. Hatch, Judge of the Superior Court, before whom all the men indicted will probably be "tried, when asked to-day if it would not ibe possible to get a new jury list, said: "I know of no way to get a now jury list until th present list is exhausted. The provision in the law. giving the Court the power to draw a new or additional liat of jurors, only contemplates such action when the list is exhausted." f.

"Is there any way whereby these cases might be tried in another county Not that 1 know of. The law provides that, when it can be shown that a defendant cannot get a fair trial in one county, the case may be taken to another county, but the people are always supposed to be able to give a fair trial, and so no provision ha been made for such cases." echo or Pipoocrs tboubles. V. Somerset County Held Too Much Paper of the ex-Congressman.

TMjrrojr, N. JiJ July 7i Another echo of the failure of ex-Congressman J. Kelson Pidcock waa heard to-day when Bank Commissioner George A. Duryea requested the Attorney General to bring proceedings against the Somerset County Bank to wind nj its affairs. The report of the bank, made from time to time to the Commissioners, paused it to be watched carefully, and when it became known that it carried a large! amount lof paper made and indorsed byax-Congrtssman Pidcock it affairs were still more carefully scrutinized.

i The bank being si State- institution, the Attorney General asked the Chancellor for a rule to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed, In the bill it was set forth that the assets of the bank were in danger and soma of its securities unsafe. There was nothing to guarantee the payment of 7,000 worth of Pidcock's paper, now held by the bank. The rule is made returnable next Wednesday. In the meanwhile the bank is closed and tbo papers were served on the officers, this afternoon by Deputy Bank Commissioner Thomas K. Johnston.

Soma time before daylight thia morning th big safe in the office of Milton "Wiggins, a real estate dealer of this village, was broken into and robbed pf cash, bonds, deeds, certificates of stoqk, land ether valuables aggregating $20,000 in value. The office is on Main Street, whih is regularly patrolled by! watchmen, yet the thieves effected an entrance, drilled holes in the safe, and blew off the combination without disturbing the slumbers of the family next door. The safe was? regarded; as one of the strongest possible to obtain, yet the door wa blown into a dozen pieces. There is not the slightest clue to thieves, although the village; constabulary declare they have their fyes upon some vague personage whom they say they will arrest at once should he ihow a disposition to leave town.

The neighborhood surrounding Southampton appears to have experienced the fiercest part of the storm. i Mr. and Mrs. Dunwell slept upon the second floor, with the babe a crib by their side. Their two older children, a boy and girl, slept in an adjoining room.

When the storm was at its height the children became frightened and cried, They were soothed by their parents, who were themselves alarmed by the crashes of thunder and terrifying lightning flashes. Suddenly there came a bunding flash, accompanied by a crackling and tearing, which Mr. Dunwell: describes as horrible, directly into the room. The headboard of the children's bed was shattered, and all the occupants of both rooms rendered unconscious. Mr.

Dunwell' cheek were torn, a patch of skin was burned away upon his forehead, and hi nose wa badly injured.

South Carolina's Dispensary Law Declared to bo Unconstitutional. Columbians. July 7. Circuit Judge Hudson, recognized as one of the ablest judges in the State, has decided the di pensary law now in operation in the State to be unconstitutional. He heard argument to-day on a motion to issue an injunction agaiust the opening of a dispensary; in Darlington.

The application was made on the ground that the petition did; not hare the signatures of a majority of the Freeholders attached and that the County Board of Control conld not in consequence establish a dispensary. No one expected anything more than an in junction and making up of a new list with the requisite majority of Freeholders' names. Neither the text nor a summary of the decision can be obtained to-night as Darlington is an interior town. Nothing but the bare report has been received here. The decision is sure to have a far-reaching efi'ect and to result in a great deal of con fusion.

1 he case can hardly be heard by the State Supreme Court before the Fall. and in tbe meanwhile tbe Circuit Court's decision holds. There may be a variety of Circuit Court decisions; indeed, there may be one for each of the eight circuits. 1 The saloon men are happy, although they do not yet know whether they can reopen. Things are very liable to get in a muddled condition from this peculiar law.

It is probable that similar injunctions will be applied for in most of the counties. Whether an! injunction can be taken out against the sale of liquor in a county having no dispensary is not known. The opin- oi tne supreme court on tne constitutionality of the law has never been expressed. II an agar alls te ad's Narrow Eseap. Biiiohamtok, N.

HIS BELDE AID HOT HIS BEIDE, Tmmfw Day's Strang Wants Hia Xaaao, But Vt HI Eastfobt, 1 lt July 7. Th pastor of the littl Eastport Methodist Church, the Bar.

IX E. Day, ia the subject of mnch gossip becaas hu brid refueee to IItc with him. The affair is most mysterious, and investigation make it only more so. Aa already told in Ths Nxw-Tonx Trxxs yesterday. Mr.

Day went to Pound' Kidge, near xtiew-Canaan, on Juno SO to bo married to Miss Hattis Fanchar. and a few days ago came back to Eastport with out th brid whom all of Eastport was prepared to welcome royally. On Sundar Mr. Day made a partial explanation from hi pulpit, but because of his amotion all of th congregation did not clearly understand that a said th marriage had taken place, and many carried away th impression that it had been postponed, Thia Impression spread, and brought a de nial from tb young woman, hsr parent. and her uncle, th Bev.

H. Hull of Canarsie, L. L. who married her to Mi. Day, and Mr.

Hull's wife and daughter. In abort, a chorus of voice declared that th couple had been married hard and fast, and that Mx. Day eould not truthfully deny it. A reporter for Thx Nxw-Yobjc Tucxa viaited Mr. Day in hia cozy parsonage to-day.

Mr. Day waa frank and straight forward, and spok with simple earnest- neas i At no time," he said, have I denied the marriage. On th contrary, a soon as I returned to Eastport I called the Trustee of my church together and laid th whole distressing matter befor them. lhen, in the church, I made a state ment from the pulpit, I though I owed it to th oongregation, which always been kind to me and which in my abeenee had done ao mnch to mak my wife7 arrival a happy event for both of ua- In that explanation, perhaps beea use of my feelings getting the better of me, I did not make myself aa clear aa I ought. I certain-; tj did not intend to give th impression that we had not been married, and I do not think many understood it that way.

"We wer married, audit waa a happy moment for m. for I loved her dearly and I am sure that she did me. We wer mar ried bv the Bev. Mr- HulL her unci, of wanarsi. witn nis wue ana daughter ana a number of relative in attendance.

Wo were married at 2 o'clock in th afternoon. All went well Thr was no intimation to ox what a blow I waa to receive a few hour later. Nevertheless, several hours later her parent came to me, ana said that 1 would to give up my bride that she had reasons for not being mr wife, which thev would not explain that I must content myself with no reason, absolutely no reason whatever. It seemed so absurd to me that I pressed tnm zor some explanation, nave none up to thia moment. That ia why I came home alone, and why no bride came to brighten up this parsonage, a had hoped zor ana looxca lorwaru to.

i As to her I can ssy nothing except in praise, outside of thia peculiar behavior. I always regarded her aa a pure-minded, noble, and devoted woman, whom any man might be proud to win. I am aa abealutelv in th dark a to her reason for refusing to uv witn me. alter naving eaimir con through th marriage service a few hour before, aa you arc I have nothing to reproach myself with. 8he refuse to liv witn me, ana.

worst oz ail, will give me no explanation. There ie but one honorable course open. mat is to nave tne ceremony annulled, and that is what 1 shall da Sh doesn't want me to, and that is another singular feature. If she haa formed a sud- aen ana unaccountable aversion to me, why object to an honorable way out It ia incomprehensible. Why does she want to bear my name and not ebar my fortune Why go through a ceremony and repudiate it a few hoar afterward no.

not repudiate it, but refuse to liv up to it "11 rumors that I have been engaged before or that I have had any question- anie entanglements are cruel falsehood. Yet my wife wa fully cognizant of thee rumors, but she sensibly gave them their true value. It is nothing of this kind that has influenced her. It ie some private, singular, and altogether incomprehenaibl reason." Mr. Day is thirty years old, and has been connected with the Eastport Church since October.

It is his first charge. He ia very popular. Every one in the vLlage to whom tbe reporter spok concerning him expressed sorrow for tbe position in which the young pastor Is placed. Mr. Day is a graduate of the Wectmin.

ster theological Seminary in Maryland. He is a Southern man, athletic, and of gentlemanly bearing. ti This little village is consumed by anxiety as to the outcome of this singular matri monial muddle, but with commendable zeal the people stand by the young pastor.
