2 JHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2 8, 1880—E1GHTEEN PAGES, | A third accident of the same kind occurred 1 in the same vicinity by which: two persons were seriously injured. ‘Titz Commissioners ‘of ‘the District of Columbia and a number’ of prominent resi- dents of the Capitat called’on President ‘esterday to urge on him the necessity of urging en Congress’ in his forthcoming uy ¢ the necesSity of improving the sew- of the ,Distiict and thie tiver front at eton. The ‘President ‘promised his sid in we matter, and referred to the Dis- * tict as a malaria-breeding territory sadly in need of the improvements demanded by the deputation. : THE British Parliament will meet on the Gthuf' January. The first measure of im- jpértance to be Introduced is‘an Irish Land bili, which is described by the Dally News a5 a practical and genuine effort to settle the controversy. The date of meeting is rather early, and indicates that the Govern- ment mean to make the coming a business session, and that the Ministers hiVe not yet made up their minds that coercion may not be needed in Ireland. ———— A REQUIEM Mass will be offered to-day in the Church of St. Augustine, Paris, In mem- ory of Lacordaire, the noted French preacher.

Mr. Enright, of England, is ikely to sbare the fate of his brother ritual- ist, the Rev. Pelham Dale.

The reverend gentleman now enjoys martyrdom with his comrade, ML Bavpry p’Asson, the obstructionist Ultramontane member of the French Cham- ber, has written a letter to Gambetta, request-_ ing that gentleman to demand a trial for himself, the Vice-President, and other officers of the Chamber, for having expelled him {d’Asson) frum the Chainbers on the 11th inst.

New York, Nov. 27.—The condition of af- fairs in Baltimore continued to influence -the produce markets to-day. Wheat was partic- ularly sensitive to outside disturbing infiu- ences. The reported failure of a prominent ‘grain‘honuse im Baltimore, depressing advices from Chicago, ramors which were not con- firmedsof several firms being in trouble here, and the fact that’ bankers were asking for additional margins on grain- afloat on ‘the canals and in cars in Baltimore, all had their effect. Prices on all commodities fluctuated considerably during the day, and closed lower and week. On the Cotton Exchange the excitementhad abated very much. A Jarge business was done, considering that the Exchange closes one hour earlier on Satur- day than on other days. THE DEALINGS IN OPTIONS reached 220,000 bales, at_an advance: for tha day of 18 to 20:points. ‘Brokers report that hardware merchanté, dry goods merchants, ministers, in a-word the entire outside pub- | Ite, have been baying stocks and cotton mad- ly, without any notion of what they are todo with either. No failares-of any kind have t been announced in elther of the Exchanges. One conservative ! operator, speaking of the action -of thé Baltimore & Ohio Koad, said to-day that-the effect would be far-reach- ing, for it wasn disastrous thing to throw 2,000,000 bushels of grain upon a market where they were not wanted. Dealers could never calculate upoh any such measures as ‘the-one adopted ‘by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company.: ‘They would take their chances on ee 2 : AN ORDINARY RISE AND FALL © of the market, bat to have s snap-action whereby the valué of grain was reduced ‘from 3 to 4 cénts per bushel, though extra and unlooked for charges could not be cal- culated upon. The fall in prices at Balti- more affected this market, for New York could'not afford to allow exporters to pur- chase grain in Baltimore cheaper than in this city, and had to lower the rates accord- ingly. He could not see what would be the end of the trouble unless the rmilway com- pany withdrew from the position it hadas- sumed. Shippers in the West would un- doubtedly send some of their grain to New York when they found it was' likely to be blocked in- Baltimore. Mr. David Dows, who has a branch in Baltimore, said he was not yet fully conversant with the details connected with the action of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company. The Railway Com- pany HAD NOY FACILITIES ENOUGH FOR HAND- the large quantity of grain brought over that road to Baltimore. The Company had been engaged in the erection of a new elevator, but it would not.be ready in time to render any assistance in this emergency, and the oflicials wanted at once to make room for the grain which Is now on the road by having that in store shipped as soon as possible, The facilities ‘for sé doing being limited, had caused a fall fn the prices, and the effect may be serious. RELEASED... - BROCKWAY, THE LOND COUNTERFEITER, OUT ON BAIL. Spectal' Dispaten to The Chicago Tribune. New York, Nov.-27.—It was stated late to-night that Brocktvay, who was arrested recently for complicity in the great Na- tional-bank :note and bonds counterfeiting case, hag of Inte had some consultation with the’Secret-Service men. The nego- tiations have’ resulted in his pleading guilty and deing released on bail. It is believed that the surrender of the plate was the condition upon which leniency was shown. The arrangement was made secret- ly; and the officials ‘of the United States Court refused to give any information as to the reason for it. Late on Friday afternoon United States Mfarshal Har- low received instructions to produce Brockway before United States Commission- cer Allen, When he appeared Brockway waived exainination, and was at once taken before Justice Benedict.

A few weeks axo le started a railway war on pfssenger- rates alone that depressed the price of Wa- bash preferred stock from 93 to G4, and the price of the: other roads’ stock correspond- ingly. This dotie, répresentatives of the Companies were summoned to. New York, and an ostentations conference was held. ‘THE WAN Is ENDED,’ proclaimed Mr. Gould’s newspaper. There at the priee of the four railroad stocks to be affected jumped skyward. Wabash pre- ferred advanced frym ¢4-to 80° Then order issued Hridgy, the Exchange Associa- tion ran WILL IN THE COURTS the question of the legality of theiract. Each holder of wheatia-sheelevators was request- 704 tts it was ‘discovéred’ that there was a daw in the agreement, and the war broke out again, ‘he result .was a, ; decline of Wabash preferred to 7434. This war is not yet ended. Just. how often Mr. will be followed by others.’ The grain mar-‘ could not explain upon any other theory | Gpuld can declare war’and establish peace ina twelvemonth depends entirely upon his own inclinations. Butevery time he does 4t he may, if he chooses, make from a quarter of 2% million to three-quarters of a million dollars in the fluctuations of the securities. of these four roads, Several times within a year Mr.-Gould has threat- ened TO BUILD A RIVAL AND PARALLEL ROAD to the Lake Shore from Toledo to Buffalo. In every instance’ theré has beeh a decline in Lake Shore stock. The wise men of the street believe that Mr, Gould will eventual- ly build’: the road -and connect it with his Lockawanna extension under construction. : He'will then‘have practically a trunk line from the Mississippi, for at To- lado it will connect with the Wabash. With this trunk: line he ean menace, the New York Central system, the Erie system, the Pennsylvania sys- tem, and the Baltimore & Ohio system, by frelhtand passenger rate wars. Every war thust depress prices, and every peace must advance them. Mr. Gould and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé people are-running A RACE TO OPEN UP MEXICO- . by their railroads. When both lines aré fin- ished they must be rival lines, and it is in Mr, Goull’s power to make railroad wars in that section, too, and end them at will. Mr.; Gould controls the Pacific Mail Company line to San Francisco, and also the Union and Centra! Pacific route to the same city. It is in his power to cut rates until neither Company earns: a cent and the stock is practically valueless. It is then in his power to establish a combination between them under which exorbitant prices will be charged. The market value of the securities of both lines must fluctuate widely were either course pursued, and Mr. Gould could profit by every fluctuation.” THE “PASSION PLAY.” PUBLIC SENTIMENT TOO MUCH FOR IT. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicazo Tribune. New York, Noy. 27.—Abbey has reformed, Jim O’Neill’s services are dispensed with, and the * Passion Play” is withdrawn. Pub- lic protests were too strong and religious convictions too pronounced to permit of the production of this spectacle on the boards of aNew.York theatre. Mr. Abbey has” found if advisable to heed the opposition that he has developed, and has addressed a letter to the public to be published Sunday, in which he states that in all his managerial career he has never before found it necessary to’ address the public in régard to any intended . pro- duction at his theatre, but that so much has beeri snid and urged against the produe- tion of this particalar drama that he feels it incumbent upon him to acquaint the public witn the circumstances surrounding his pre- sentation of it. He says: “Strangeas it may appedr, the idea of, making money from its representation did not influence me in the slightest dezree. On the contrary, [had fully determined to give the proceeds of such representations, after the deduction of the ; mere expenses of the production, to the poor of New:. York, and I freely and fully an- nounced my Intention to do so to every one who approached me on the subject. Itismy conviction that no man whose business success depends upon the ap- proval and patronage of the public hasa right to represent that which is regarded |- with a disapproval so positlve, and expressed: in terms so denunciatory, as those which @reet the mere. announcement of an inten- tion to produce the ‘Passion Play.” While ihave always entertained the belief that the representation would inevitably inspire feel- ings of reverence and awaken devotional emotions rather than occasion the shock to the religious sensibilities anticipated, yet I feel. that I have. no right to: set my single opinion against that of analmost entire community, and thus to outrage any sentiment that may possess it, no matter how unjust I may consider the ex- .istence of such sentiment to be.. I have, therefore, concluded not to produce or give any representation whatever of the ‘ Passion Play.’ 3 THE BANK TAX. GENERAL DISCUSSION. New York, Nov. 27.—The effort on the part of the New York banks to be released from all taxation under the recent decision of Judge Wallace at the close of the long contested case of an Albany bank declaring that the Jaw of 1806 was illegal, is attracting general attention from businessmen and property-holders, who will have added to their owh taxes $1,700,000 which has been yearly paid by the National banking corpora- tions. ‘The burden will probably fall alinost entirely upon owners of real estate, since for years the ‘Tax Commissioners have found their ability to discover personal. property steadily diininishing, and holders of personal property have gradually gained information of the methods by which personal taxation can be legally evaded. . President John Thompson, of the Chase National Bank, is notin favor of releasing the banks entirely. Hesays: “ Banks should pay a just propor- tion of the personal taxes of the State and city, since they receive the same benefits as all other property-owners. But they have not been fairly treated, and the methods of taxing them Gaye been bad. There Is a dis- crimination against the banks, and it exists in mahy ways,” 3 “RAILROAD MATTERS. DETAILS OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC SYNDL CATE TO BE MADE PUBLIC MONDAY. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New York, Nov. 27.—All arrangements for forming a syndicate to market the Boiids of the Northern Pacifie Railroad Company have not yet been completed.’ It is expected that the details of the agreement will be made public Monday. The cause of the delay was snid to. be merely the fact that some of the necessary papers had not been drawn, but it was rumored in Wall street that one of the most prominent banking- houses inentioned in connection with the ne- gotiation bad falled to take. part, and that the allotment, therefore, was incomplete.
