Wild Excitement in the Exchanges. A DISCOVERY WHICH SENDS PRICES DOWN WITH A Wann. Special Dispatch fo the Philadelphia Times. Om. Crry, Dec. 13.—Another panic occurred in the oil market to-day, the results of which will prove nearly, if not quite, as disastrous as the one a few weeks ago. The closing quotation yesterday was 21.08. This evening the closing price was 98 cents, a depreciation of fifteen cents. Just before the close sales were made at 89's cents, but a slight improvement occurred later. The sales amounted to 5,802,000 barreis. The losses, though enormous, have not been so Sreat as before, because a larger number of traders were short. The cause of the panic was the opening of the Grandin & Kelly well, on the Cook heirs’ property, lot 5,236, Forest coun- ty, two miles east of Baliton. The well was drilled to the sand on the 24th of last August and then shut down. Negotiations looking toa sale of the property have been going on for some time, and yesterday drilling was resumed to see what the well was good for. The drill pene- trated sand only about 18 inches when it com- menced flowing furicusly, oil gushing over the derrick top. During the first 15 hours the well flowed 750 barrels, and is now doing at the rate of 1,000 barrels aday. This news reached the brokers after the exchange closed yesterday and created a panicky feeling. Everybody wanted to sell, brokers actually climbing over each other in their anxiety to doso. During the first 30 minutes the market dropped from $1.08 to 92 cents. ONE OF THE WILDEST SCENES EVER WITNESSED IN THE PITTSBURG EXCHANGE. Prrrspura, Dec. 18.—If yesterday was the dullest day in oil for six months to-day was one of the liveliest In the history’of the exchange. When the bell rang forthe opening of the session this morning the first sales were made at | $1.0834, a decline of 5c. from closing figures yesterday. The next bid was $1, then 96c., and in ten minutes after the opening the market | had dropped to 92c., a decline of over 16c. from yesterday and llc. lower than the first trans- action of the day. The sales aggregate three million barrels.” Throughout the session the clamor was deafening and the scene was one of the wildest ever witnessed within the walls of theroom. On the outside the ex¢itement was | intense, the lambs experiencing Just such an- other shock as they received on that memorable Friday three weeks ago. An unexpected lay- down occurred at the Exchange this afternoon, A.C. Duncan, a well-known dealer, being able to meet his contracts. The market isin a very shaky condition. THE BREAK AT TITUSVILLE. TitvsviiuE, Dec. 13.—The panic in the oil mar- ket to-day eclipses even that of a few weeks ago. In four minutes immediately succeeding the opening prices deciined from $1.08 to 913<c. Great excitement exists throughout the oil region. —____-e._______ A Burglar Resisting Arrest. WHEN CORNERED HE MURDEROUSLY ASSAULTS HIS CAPTOR. From the Philadelphia Press, to-day. John C. Taylor, of 1807 Federal street, was leaving his house about 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning when he observed three men pass, two of whom were carrying a large trunk. The trio proceeded to a lot in the nelghborhood, where they broke open thebox and began rifling it of its contents. Then Mr. Taylor gave an alarm. The men fled, but one of them was cap- tured by Officer Grow, of the 17th district at 12th street. He used a black-jack on the head of the Po ueemaaty and succeeded in breaking away. e fugitive was recaptured after a short chase, and again he attempted to black-jack the omicer, but the latter succeeded in taking the Weapon from him. The prisoner struggled with his captor all the way to the station house, at | 10th and Traylor streets, and made an effort to | draw a loaded revolver from lis hip pocket. When searched the revolver, a box of matches, Jimmy, nippers and other tools used by bur. lars were found in his possession. it was subsequently learned that the house of J. Rob- inson, 1302 Federal street, had been broken into by jimmying open a window shutter In the rear, and, after ransacking the lower part of the house, the thieves carried the trunk from a Second-story bedryom, ih which three smali children were sleeping. The prisoner gave the name of Jolin Wilson, his residence at Baiti- more, and said that he arrived in the city on Monday last. Magistrate Ladner held him to bail for carrying concealed deadly weapons and assaulting the officer, and committed him for burglary. In the Shadow of the Gallows. PLEASANT TURNER'S ADDRESS-TO THE COURT— THE WIFE'S ANGUISH. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 13, says: About a year ago Pleasant M. Turner and John E. Shuttles had a difficulty at Greenville, Ga., and later on the day of the occurrence Tumer shot Shuttles in the back and killed him. The trial came up ten days ago and ended to-day with a verdict of murder. The murderer was sentenced to be hanged on February 9. The court room was crowded to hear the man’s doom. He was told to stand up and asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be pro- nounced upon him. With considerable emotion he replied: I have but a word to say, andI say it In the nce of the people, that the great prejudice existing against me has caused the truth to be suppressed. Thank God I bear animo: wards noone. I pray God that my enemies seek the salvation of their souls as hard as y have sought to crush me. hen he had finished he sat down and buried his face in his hands, overcome with his feelings. Soon recovering his. self-possession he again stood up and calmly received his sentence. During the reading of it his wife sat near him sobbing, and when it was ended she threw her | arms around him and cried out in her grief,““Oh, my God, my God, must he be hung for it! He is innocent, he is innocent.” es Industrial Notes. The Western Nail Association met at Pitts- burg yesterday and reaffirmed the card rate. | Trade is reported fair and the outlook encour- ‘ing. The Mississipp! Valley cane-growers met in annual session at St. Louis yesterday, Hon. George B. Loring, commissioner of agriculture, presiding. Several papers on the sugar indus- try were read.

The house of the Secretary of State Is the only Cabinet residence as yet open this sea- son to Wednesday calls. Here, in the earlier part of yesterday afternoon, till the storm came ox, many were received. Only a few of the Senators’ wives will begin their Thursday re- ceptions till after the holidays, and in general among society people this is the preference this season. Such Representatives wives as receive this month do so intormaliy, in their own par- lors, not the parlors of their hotels or boarding- houses. Mrs. and Miss Snead resumed, in No- vember, their pleasant Saturday receptions at Willard’s. M Logan and Mrs. Hawley, two of the most hospitable and popular among Sena- tors’ wives, are of those who will not begin re- ceiving till January. Mrs. Horatio King. who after her handsome yain be at home on ti day during the month of January. Mrs. Platt, of Connecticut, who returned with Senator Platt at the opening of the session, is at 1625 Massachusetts avenue, as last year, and her mother, Mrs. Bull, is with her. Professor and Mrs. Simon Newcomb have let tor three years their pleasant Washington house and Mrs. Newcomb sails, on Tuesday next, with her two younger daughters, for England, to join Miss Anita, the eldest, who 1s now at school there. Mrs. Newcomb purposes to remain tem- porarily abroad for the education of these two young girls. It will be remembered that Prof. Newcomb, in starting tor Cape Colony to ob- serve the transit of Venus from that point, took with him his bright 16-year-old daughter, Anita, at her urgent desire, as his private secretary. On yeaching Southampton, however, such alarm- ing reports were given him of the prevalence of | Small poxin South Africa that he would not risk his daughter's life. but left her there so hastily that even her trunk was not detached from his baggage, but went on with him. Miss Newcomb, a brave girl, made her way to | Cambridge, to find there Miss Herschel. sister of it and placed her in an excellent school. For the sake of her eminent father she received many | social attentions in Cambridge, and went out to family dinners seyeral times at the residences of noted savans, wearing her simple, but pretty blue traveling dress. Ex-Secretary McColloch and his family have moved into the house on 15th street, opposite McPherson square, purchased by him last sum- mer, to which he has added a conservatory and made many other improvements. Some of year are, Miss Hirtie Billings, adaughter of Dr. J. S. Billings, the Misses Stevens, the.daughters of Mr. Oscar Stevens, Miss Dougal, the Misses Jones, granddaughters of the Hon. William Hunter of the State department, aud Miss Mar- bury, Miss Maggie Cox, the daughter of the late lamented T. P. Cox, would also be one of them, but for her deep mourning. This young lady is one of the sweetest buds of the bunch, and one of the prettlest,—a blonde with regular features and sunny hair. Mrs. Senator Don Cameron will be at home to her friends every Friday evening during the season. Mrs. Randolph Tucker will join her husband herein January. Mr. Tucker's reelection is grati- fying to their many friends in Washington, for they are much beloved, and he is noted for his wit and humor. Admiral and Mrs. Charles Stedman have taken the house 2015 G street, and are expecting their two married daughters to visit them. They en- tertain with true hospitality, and theirs is one of the substantial homes of Washington. Dr. J. S. Billings is to give his daughter, Miss Birtie, acoming out party during Christmas week. The german at Marini’s comes off to-morrow | evening, led by Lieut. Lemley, and will be a very handsome ball. The favors are various and beautiful, and hearts will flutter because of them. The managers are Messrs. B. H. Robert- | son, T. H. Stevens, A. H. Elliott, J. F. Brans- ford, F. E. Hobbs and R. H. Miner. The Assistant Secretary of State and his wife give a dinner this evening and will give a simi- lar entertainment every Thursday during the | season. Mrs. Senator Hale leaves ina few days with her children for Detroit, to spend the holidays there with her mother, Mrs. Chandler. Madame Jerome Bonsparte is rapidly conva- lescing, but her health will doubtless prevent her entering soon into any of the festivities of the season. The precedent of having levees on Tuesdays and formal dinner parties on Thursdays, first established by Washington, has been followed by President Arthar Miss May Gwynn, the belle of so many ger- mans, will not, owing to her mourning, attend the balls and parties this winter, but will re- ceive informally at her own house in a quiet way, and with her friend, Mrs. Hornsby, at her Saturday evenings. a News Briefs. In the suit of Jane Marlow against a Chicago saloon-keeper for selling her husband liquor to the extent of making him almost an imbecile, | the jury gave a verdict of $2! She asked for $5,000. Gov.

Among the passengers inthe Servia, which left New York for Liverpool yesterday, were Mrs. Labouchere, Lord Douglas Gordon, Mr. Algernon Sartoris, and Mr. and Mrs. U. 8. Grant, jr. Mrs. Labouchere and her maid regis- tered as Miss Roberts and friend. Last Friday two men rode up to R. J. Grier, who was standing ina store where he was em- ployed, in Tallahatchie county, Miss., and de- manded the keys of the safe. He replied he had no Keys, that the safe had _acombination lock, Whereupon they shot him gown and rode off. Judge Gilbert decided yesterday that the fif- teen Brooklyn aldermen “heretofore committed for contempt in disobeying an injunction pro- hibiting them from over-riding the veto of the mayor must go back to jail and serve out. their sentences, A stay of proceedings till to-day j was granted. The long-standing criminal prosecution of Mr. William H. Kembleagainst Charles A.

The deadlock caused by the demand of the male students at the Kingston, Ont., Medical College for the expulsion of female students is complete.

THE JEANNETTE INQUIRY. Testimony of Se: m Newcomb To- o'clock this morning, and after the record of oros’ testimony was read, Mr. Newcomb testl- fied that his name was Raymond B. Newcomb, ¢, his duties being those of naturalist and taxidermist; he joined the vessel in July, 1879, in the passage from Mare Island to San Francisco. In reply to questions whether he had any statement to make as tothe cond tion ofthe vessel, the management, the loss, in relation to provisions and plans for the boats’ crews in leaving the wreck, the efforts made by officers to insure the safety of the men under their charge, and the rellef of the other parties, any charge to lay or commenda- tion to offer as to the conduct of officers and men, he said, “Not aay.” ‘The witness was then cross-ex ed IN BEHALF OF JEROME J. COLLINS. | seaman on the Jeanne between Lieut. De Long and Mr. Collins? A.—I do not. Q.—What did Mr. Collins say to you regard- ing the affair? The judge advocate objected to this question, as the answer could only be made on hearsay. The room was cleared for consuitation, and | when the doors were opened the president siated that the objection was sustained. TROUBLE WITH DE LONG. Q.—Did you not have some trouble with Mr. De Long? The judge advocate objected to the question jhad been given an opportunity to lay any charges against De Long or any other person he desired. The court sustained the objection. NOTE BOOKS. Q.—Do you remember the time when Mr. Col- lins’ notes were lost ? A.—He kept a large journal in a wooden box | made by the carpenter; that book, I think, was i lost. Ifthe book is the one referred to, I think it was lost with the ship. Q.—Was he at liberty to rescue it ? A.—In my judgment he was. Q.—When you showed him your note book, | what did he tell you about his notes, and what | he was going to do when land was reached? The judge advocate objected to the question as calling for hearsay. The room was again cleared for consultation. When the doors were opened the president stated that the objection was sustained. LIFE IN SIBERIA. Q.—Whet did your party do when you Teached Cape Borkia or Jamarcaloch? A.—We sought shelter and food as soon as possible, made an unsuccessful attempt in the whale boat neck of the river; returned and re- mained some forty days. We were much trou- bled with vermin and scanty tare. Sent mes- sage to Noros and Ninderman. Left the village on 3d November, 1881, for Belun. Q.—How did you pass the time? A.—In repairing old clothes, trying to keep warm, and recruiting our health. Q.—Did you know that the native, Shagra, got drank shortly after starting for Belun? A.—I did not. Q.—Did Mr. Collins’ show you any of the pa- pers he was going to secure? A.—I saw a large journal on ship several times; nothing else that I remember. WITNESS’ RELATIONS WITH MELVILLE. Q.—Had you any trouble with Engineer Mel- ville after reaching Lena Delta? ‘Phe question was objected to by the president and the room was cleared. When the doors were opened it was stated that the objection was made on account of ir- relevancy, and it was sustained. Q.—Did he threaten you in any way? This question was objected to on the same grounds, and the objection was sustained. Q.—Is it a fact that during the retreat the party was often ordered to start at 5 a.m., and then De Long would lie in his tent until 2 o'clock in the afternoon when not sick, and thus cause unnecessary delay? A.—I have no knowlege of any such occur- rence. The judge advocate stated that he did not de- sire to further examine the witness, and he was EXAMINED BY THE COURT. Q. by Court.—Was there any unnecessary de- lay during the retreat over the 1ce? A.—It seems tome that the time spent in reaching and staying at Bennett's island might have been used in making the way south. .—Did you think so at the time? A.—I did. How was the time occupied in reaching aying at Bennett's Island? In traveling over the ice, transporting sleds and provisions. After reaching the island. in repairing boats, overhauling clothes, and get ting birds for fresh food. Some scientific obser- vations were also made. Q.—Was not the delay necessary for the re- pair of boats to make them-serviceable ? A.—They leaked badly and had to be caulked often after that on the journey south.

If thie waa allowed he believed that he could lay bare @ foul conspiracy, in which this man Brewster Cameron and his pals were engaged to biighf the reputation of men and drag them Into dis repute.

SMITH. “My friend will not do It by such an a@e dress,” said Mr. Wells. “Mr. Dickson ts not om | trial on his generaicharacter.

If @ | jury was to be affected he could understan@ such talk, but it would not affect the court.

Mr. Smith asked if Mr. Bowen was still in the District. Mr. Wells sald that he told him he better nog leave, but he found that certain persons watching him and tring to interview him. “Is that so?” asked Mr. Smith, with sarcasm. “Yes,” said Mr. Wells, “and I can mention the names of the people who have been after him if you wish.” The court said he would put Bowen under bonds if they thought It necessary. “We think it very necessary to keep him from getting away,” said Mr. Wells. The counsel for the defense sugyested that @ 1,000 bond would be sufficient. The court said that a witness could not be kept here as a witness, as It was an ex to the District. Ir they notified the before they could have any witness sumt If there was danger of Mr. Bowen not be- ing here, he would put him under bonds. Mr. Cuppy said that they would have Mr, Me Nelly summoned again. THE EXAMINATION OF MR. CAMERON was then continued. The witness sald that Bowen did not go with to St. Louis, because his bustuess was connected with affairs in Arizona, where Mr. Hoover was Judge, and the two latter stayed in this city to- gether.

WITNESS’ CHA ED RELATIONS WITH BOWEN. The witness was going to answer the quem tion but the defense, not liking the answer, ime sisted on a direct answer. The court put it: “Had your relations with Bowen changed?" “Yes, they had,” said the witness, “I saw eral Crook on the train, and from what he told me of afm in Arizona l concluded that ir. Bowen was not the proper man to make this investigation, for which he had been pointed.

The witness then went onto say that at ne time had he friendly sentiments for Mr. Bowen. He thought that he was a proper man forthe place, and recommended him.
