New York, April 4,-yWall street has
been considerably agitated for ten days
past over the upa and downs of congress
on the silver bill, wool act, etc., and op
erators are more than usually close
mouthed. Last evening, however, 'a
conversation at the League club become
quite animated, withUncleRufus Hatch
as the central figure tf a group of well
known operators. Uncle Rufua was
very earnest. Among other things
caught by a reporter near by, were these
pointed sentences. If " the , silver bill
should pass and Harrison veto it,' he will
be defeated. If he did not veto-it he
would be . beaten -so he is between
heavy , fires: ' Jim -Keene says he will
veto it and be nominated, bat he- does
not say he will be elected. ! I received a
letter from Amos J. Cummings, and , he
says the silver bill is all right. Of course
he is in favor of it. So far as the market
is concerned, there is no market except
matched orders. I am told that the coal
combination is very, strong. As far as
the coal stocks are concerned, they . say
they own a great deal more than there
is of the Reading, and have for the past
four months. . Sage told a friend .of his
a few days since he would not sell any
puts or calls, as the. market was in a
very dangerous position . My impress
ions are that Uncle ituesell was caught
short of Delaware and Lackawanna.
Keene and Brown of Horton & Co., are
bulls on Northwestern,' but - as far as I
can see there are no orders to buy or sell.
The market is in a position that you can
put up as you please, then have to let go
Without any buyers. ' The- banks have

of the country to the other. The. pro
duct of the soil is very low. Merchants
are neither expanding nor ' extending.
The large ' loans are" mostly owned by
Wall street '.'pools' and fools."- Individ
ually I believe that Erie and Northwest
ern are' the two chief stocks you can
make anything on. I made $2,700 on
sugar, and am bo .fearful that I will lose
it, I have not traded in it since. I re
peat what 1. have 'so often said, that
when the summer tourists commence
going to Europe they will want the gold
again. .Gen. Dodge tells me that he
thinks Gould has done all the business
he will ever do. .In other w"ords he is
very, "very ill." Don't you think the
Richmond Terminal reorganizes made a
mistake in not making it $400,000,000
instead of $350,000,000. And don.'t you
think the sugar trust' should have in
creased their capital stock $40,000,000
instead of $25,000,000, thus making it an

Another Bay Killed Sparring. .
"Huittington, . Ind., . Aprils. 4. The
youth-Sice, aged 18, who broke the neck
of another boy Charles Lesh, in a- spar
ring contest on Sunday the 13th, has
been held for trial on a charge of mur
der . The two boys were about , evenly
matched,-young .and - robust, and were
pushed into the contest by "friends"' for
a . purse. Lesh. was .'instantly killed.
His neck-waa broken. About a dozen
parties to the contest, will have' exami
nations as abettors of the murder, and
it is safe ' to eav that no more such
"sport" will be witnessed in this part of

Indianapolis, April 4. Reports made
and circulated lastl week to the .effect
that the natural gas supply at Nobles
villewas giving out,' seem to be con
firmed. Mr. Todd," superintendent of
the company's lines, is authority for the
statement that each, well loses on an
average one pound a day . in pressure,
and unless new .wells 'are drilled soon
the city cannot be supplied--r . The oom
pany does not feel able to meet the ad
ditional expense, and besides a ' large
portion of the land ad joining the city is
-leased to the, Indianapolis and Standard
uit companies.
- Didn't Keep tne Faith. -
WASnrxG-rox, "April 4. The action of
Senator Berry, of Mississippi, in break
ing faith' with' his .fellow -senators 'and'
voting against the bills for the Columbia
river improvement, after having the aid
of the Pacific delegation to secure the ap
propriation for the Mississippi, is freely
discussed. He will not be trusted in
future where the word of a senator has
to be counted upon to carry a. measure
of any kind. On the day in question
the bills for the lump sums for the Miss
issippi river and the improvement of the
cascades of the Columbia, and the Tboat
railway around the dalles of the Colum
bia were all made a special order for one
day. The Mississippi Tiver bill, carry
ing an appropriation of $18,000-,000, was
the first on the calendar. It received
the support of the senate, save a few
democratic exceptions. - It was observed,
however, after this bill was passed and
waer safe, and all of the bills for the cas
cades and the boat railway came up that
Senator Berry, voted against these bills,
because they would not do his section
any' particular good. As the day has
long since passed when sectional legisla
tion was buried, even democrats concede
-that this action was unworthy- of the
Mississippi senator. The Columbia im
provement is no longer considered a
local matter, but is in every way of lead
ing importance as-- a national improve
ment;. -
"Jack the Slasher."
Paducah, Ky., April 4. -England has
its Jack the Ripper, and even Gotham
has its prototype, but it was left for
Kentucky to. develope the exceptional
rcase of a slasher. ' For a lone time uast
there has been much complaint " among
the ladies' of the place concerning a man
whom none could fully describe, being
unable toYecognize aim, as be always
appeared in the night time. He would
spit upon their clothes as they passed
out of the churcheaor other public places,
and would slash their- garments badly
with a very sharp instrument. The fel
low, would secrete himself in the dark and
would commit his depredations as the
ladies passed in crowds. - Lately he has
grown bolder, and last night was recog
nized by a young lady as he epat upon
one passing by him, just in front of her.
The young lady who had been spat upon
was told of the matter and she hunted
the fellow up today." She was about to
cowhide him when an '.. officer took
the man in charge-- The fellow is a'
yOung man known as. Ben Jones, who
has for years been regarded as a crank.
He seema to have an antipathy to fe
male gar men te, and it is said his mother
has lost many garments at his. hands.
He would steal them, and after soiling
them wonld cut them into shreds.
Once he stole her entire wardrobe, and
carrying it into the woods, ' cut all the
garments into bits and - hid them in' a
hollow tree. He is regarded as being
dangerous and will be sent to an asylum.

Suffering William.
Berlin, April 4. The health of Em
peror William has much improved since
Thursday, when an operation was per
formed upon his ear. The operation
was a thorough success, the emperor be
ing free from pain and becoming stronger
as soon as is was . over. An operation
had already been made at. Kiel, while
the emperor waB on his trip io Norway,
and this explains why he kept himself
secluded. on' board the vessel for eight
days." . In the same way his strict seclu
sion at Chateau Hubertus can be ac
counted for. At one time the effusion
of - matter was accompanied by pain
which was hardly endurable, but before
it began to flow freely - his suffering be
came so great. that his mind appeared to
become affected, and another operation
was necessary . All this is interesting
news in view of the , late political crisis
in Germany. ' "" - ' ' -'

Other Louses More. -
; - New Orleans, April 3. One of the
most destructive cotton fires on' record
broke out at 10:30 this morning among -some
cotton on the sidewalk in front of
a fire-proof cotton press on Front street,
where 10,000 bales of cotton were stored.
The department promptly responded,-
but the wind was so high'and the cotton
so dry that it burned like tissue paper.
The firemen worked like demons to ar- .
rest the progress of the flames, but their -"
efforts were unavailing. Through the
yards swept the fire carrying devastation '
with it. After three repeated alarms -a
general alarm was sent in, and all the en
gines in the city, with twoor three excep
tions,. were called ont. In half an hour "
after the flames . started the fire-proof -press
was totally consumed. In the
press were sred 50,000 bales of which
the greater portion was destroyed. It '
required but a very short time to destroy
the press. Several firemen had narrow L '
escapes from falling walls. The eight
was an awe-inspiring one. For a space
of at least two blocks a sheet of flames ' :
shot upward. The smoke andsparka
from'the fire, blown down into the street -by
the wind, choked and singed the
spectators. Suddenly a small flame was
seen to leap skyward from a corner of
the Independence press.. In a second .
almost the entire block was ablaze, and .
the flames formed a solid -block of fire.
The people living in the neighborhood
took fright and a wild scene-ensued.
Houses were dismantled of their con-: .
tents and carried . away. House after ,
house went down and the efforts' of the
firemen seemed in vain to face the over- -.'
whelming odds. The flames spread in -every
direction owing to the varying
winds, and soon four blocks were ablaze, -and
the wooden buildings were devoured -as
if they were so much chaff. Hun
dreds o'f people were left homeless by-'-,
the fire. . The scene presented is truly- -one
of desolation. Nothing- remains of .
the many handsome buildings embraced
in the four blocks but the blackened
ruins. The losses are estimated at $2,
530,000. .. '. ,

Minneapolis, April 4. An eastern"
gambling syndicate has been organized . '1
to open an establisment in this city
which, in a small way, will vie with the- -.
celebrated place in Monaco. The syndi
cate represents millions of dollars and
proposes to estab'ish a gambling house on
mammoth proportions and conduct it on -the
club system. A- $1,500,000 bank'""
roll will be here for those ' who think
they can win it." The place will be ex
clusive, regularly, chartered and incor
porated, and only open to members and
friends. ' The syndicate expect that the
establisment will attract wealthy people '
who love the click of the ivories.
