Davis, of Sharon, Pa., on D-- half of a committee appointed to convey ‘a testi- montal of regard to President Jarrett, the retiring official, made a presentation of a solid sliver tea service to Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett, and a gold-headed Mahogany cane to thelr beldved leader. In the speech accompanying the presentation assurances were given that had President Jarrett desired ‘a re-election it would have been ten- dered unanimously. His past record as the leader of the amalgamated association was fit- tingly eulogized. He had discharged his trust faithfully to the iast, both in a private and public relationship, and the heartfelt devotion of his brethren wa’ tendered him tn single accord. In accepting the costly tokens of friendship ana es- Dy JARRETT SAID: I feelin my heart that the tle that has existed for nearly four years, While itis now to be broken in my official capacity, 1s one that will live for a century. If I have any aspiration it 1s that of being a true man, and I hope the sentiments you have expressed shall be not only a sentiment, but a@reality. As a labor leader I have recognized that the principles that should guide me are those that sacrifice personal labors for the good of our fellow man, Dave the Dleasure to say that I am going out of office with a warm heart for my brethren. I have realized the help and encouragement we -have received from the press all over the country. I had expected you would give me some vote of Your confidence, but I did not look for a testimontal like this. Iwill lean on this cane perhaps to the end of my life, con- cluded the retiring president, the tears starting to hiseyes. The speech was frequently interrupted by storms of applause. Before leaving the st Mr. Jarrett made an eloquent response to the tes- timontal to his wife. The convention then re- Solved itself into secret session for a quarter of an hour, after which it adjourned sine dle, with three rousing cheers for the delegates. The next annual convention will be held at Pittsburg. —_s—— The Situation in Wall Street. THE POST'S REVIEW OF THE STOCK MARK!

After 11 o'clock the market was rather heavy and there Fas a gradual settling down of prices, ranging trom ¥ to1 per cent, the latter on Northern Pa> cifle preferred. Western Union was the weakest stock on the list after 11 o'clock, and at 12:30 showed a decline of 1 per cent, compared with the close last night, while the general market showed an advance of 3 to 14 percent, the latter dn Michigan Central and Pacific Mall.” In the stocks outside of the active list there were some import- ant advances during the forenoon, viz.: Richmond and Danville, 4 per cent to 63; Richmond and West Point, 4 per ceiit to 20; Oregon Improvement, 4 Ber cent to 85; Now York and New England, 1 to 34; New York, Culeago and St. Louis, 1% to 1034: Chattanooga, 2 per cent to 5; Colorado coal, 2 to 26; Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and indtan- apolis, 13 tO 614; Indiana, Bloomington and Western, 134 to 23; ‘Lake Erie and Western, 1 to 2144, and’San Francisco first preferred, 2 to 90.

THE “PRUSSIAN” DETERMINED TO TEST THB METTLE OF THE BOSTON BOY. ‘The Philadelphia Press of to-day says: Sporting men are considerably exercised over Wm. Sheriff's challenge to fight John L, Sullivan a glove contest of either four or six rounds for $1,000 aside. The contest ts to take place in five or six weeks after signing articles, each party to be allowed not over ten friends. Sheriff declares he has waited pa- tently for some of the middle-weights of this country to accept his challenge, and is now anx- fous to meet America’s champion knocker-out. He promises that he will give Sulitvan more trouble ‘han any of his previous opponents, and, should he be beaten, he offers to sparor fight any man Sullivan has ever contested within six weeks after his fight with the latter. ‘The redoubtable “Prussian” was found in Arthur Chambers’ saloon last night, surrounded by a throng of his admirers. #18 full visage beamed with good nature, and he was busily engaged in stowing away the beer which was thrust in upon him from allsides. The brawny pugilist’scritici-ms of the various champions of the ring were received with open-mouthed admiration, and he was im- mediately invited to have more liquid refresh- ments. When asked what he thought of Slade’s abilities as a fighter, an expression of contempt swept over his face, ; le’s got no heart,” was the reply. “All this talk about soft muscles and too much fat amounts to nothing; if @ man hasu’t courage be can’t fight, and that fs all there 1s about it. ——$_o- Republican Straightouts in Virginia. THEY INDORSE BLAINE FOR THE PRESIDENCY AND DECLARE AGAINST MAHONE. The republican straighout convention met yes- terday in Richmond. A platform was adopted favoring a strict adherence to republican princi- ples and a protective tariff, and indorsing James G. Blaine for the presidency. In the platform the action of the administration in aiding Gen. Ma- hone in the repudiation of one-third of the state debt 1s condemned, It declares that the power thus given to Mahone has been used in the state for the persecution of life-long republicans, and makes him virtually “President of the United States for the state of Virginia.” The platform Opposes mixed schools, and favors civil-service re- form and the honest’ enforcement of the recent acts of Congress, It also favors a free ballot and an honest count. It declares that the republican party never advocated the imposition of a capita- Uon tax, and that the republican party of Virginia placed th the state constitution clauses that the establishment of public free schools should be made mandatory. It declares in favor of a just and equitable division of the school funds accord- ing to population, and concludes by expressing the unalterable opposition to one-man power in Virginta represented by Mahone, and calls the at- tention of the administration to the results of Such a system in other states. Ex-Representative Dezendort presided over the convention, which determined to put candidates for the legislature In the field in every county in the state, subject, how- ever, to the judgment of the state committed. ee agg eee oe Ruined by His Son. FAILURE OF E. 0. STEDMAN, THE PORT BANKER, A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from New York says of the fallure of E. C. Sted- man and Co., reported in yesterday’s SraR: The firm’s failure was caused by the operations of Frederick S. Stedman, E. C. Stedman’s son, and the junior member of the frm. Tats young man ts twenty-four years old. Eight months ago he began speculating in the street without his father’s knowledge. He used as collaterals securities be- longing to the firm, but did not operate in the firm’s name. He dealt through the house of Cecil Ward & Co., and steadily lost money. Just how much his losses represent is not known, but they regate between $100,000 and $125.00. ist Monday the father came to New York from New Castle, N. H., and upon his return he learned for the first time’ that his son had betrayed him. Ruined and broken-hearted, the banker arranged to meet his obligations in the exchange, shoul- dered the burdens heaped upon him by his son, and failed as honorably as he has honorably lived: Mr. Stedman refused to be interviewed regarding his failure. The facts were made known by repre- sentatives of Mr. McGinnis, the assignee. SPECULATING ON BORROWED COLLATERAL. It was learned later in the day that young Stedman had been in the habit of borrowing, from time to time, securities that he had depos- ited with Cecil Ward & Co., as collateral for his speculations. He would, {t'is sald, borrow certain stocks and bonds for an hour or a day, as the case might be, returning them when he promised to do so, A few hours before the failure of Cecil Ward & Co., he borrowed, it is alleged, fifty thousand dollars worth ‘of securities, pro mising to return them in one hour's ‘time, but he did not keep his promise, E. C, Stedman ‘will undoubtedly resume business. ‘The Press cor- Tespondent was told at the firm’s office this morn- ing that offers of pecuniary assistance, aggregat- ing $100,000, had been made to Mr. Stedman by re- sponsible business men within an hour after the {allure Was announced. His creditors will un- loubtediy give him a discharge, an wi back Into the board. No statement of Mr. Sted man’s losses could be furnished the press to-day, but tt is believed they will amount to about $150,000. ‘The President Fishing.

Your action to-day will readily suow to the pavile that the company has no intention to deal justly by the employes or the public, and tt will be still further apparent that in your avowed desing to treat with the employes individually you have no other object in view than to break up the brother- hood, thereby denying the right of workingmen to combine for mutual protection, and in onler to discriminate agatnst whom you may be pleased to regard as leaders in the movement.

A WRALTHY MAN ELOPES WITH A S8CHOOL-MISTRESS, A telegram from Long Beach, N.J., August 15th, Says: Theodore F. Sperry,one of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of Harris’ station, has eloped with the village school-mistress, Miss Ella Millicent DeHaven 1s the nameof the youngwoman, She came here about eight months ago to take charge of the village school. Miss De Haven has ee seen her twentieth summer, and soon made et Way Into the esteem and uffection of every. | body. ‘or a few months she was “boarded free” around,as fs the custom in country village schools, when Mrs. Sperry, Who had taken a warm tuterest in the school-mistress, persuaded her to take up her permanent home at the Sperry mansion. Then the mischief began. Although Miss De Haven was avery pretty young woman, Mra. Sperry, who 1s about 28 years old, was handsomer. It was not long before it was hinted that Mr. Sperry was get- ting too fond of the young woman, and it was noticed that after school wasout the fair Ella used ig) ‘an hour or more in Mr. Sperry’s business: o None of these suspicious circumstances ever reached the ears of the wife, who was a happy, pleasant woman of generous nature, Iiked by bot, young and old, and who believed that she alone seed her husband's affections. On Saturday r. Sperry left his home, informing his wite that he was going to Cape May or Atlantic City ona business trip and would not return until Monday. On Friday afternoon, after the school session was over, Miss De Haven left the Sperry cottage, tell- ing Stra Sperry that she was going to Brindletown to stay over Sunday. When the schoolinistress Was found to be absent from school on Monday and Mr. Sperry did not return home, suspicious hints were given out that the absent pair were together. It was then learned that the eloping couple drove through Brindletown and Davisville on Saturday, and passed the night together at a village further on. ‘The astonishment of the deserted wife at hear truant husband’s conduct and the perfidy of the girl she befriended was naturally great. A few weeks ago Mr. Sperry, without any solicitation from his wife, deeded to her the handsome cottage in which they lived and the building and lumber yard where he did business. Mrs. Sperry says that her faithless husband shall never again enter her home. Mr. Sperry 1s thirty-eight years of aye, and 1s the father of a bright little boy four Years old. Strange to say Mr. Sperry did not draw on his bank account before he departed, but he took away all the cash contents of his safe.
