The favorable effect upon the New York stock market made by the announcement of the Baltt- more and Ohio deal, as was stated in Tux Stak Saturday, continued during the day, and though some of the Weaker men were swamped under the bull cyclone, the advance in the market washailed with gratification by those who hud predicted that the stock exchange was dying of dry-rot, and that its patronage had been tgnominiously distributed among the bucket-shops and rival institutions, Russell Sage, Deacon White, Henry Clews, and George Gould all expressed the opinion, according tothe New York Sun, that the settlement of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad trunks was one of the most forturate things that has happened to Wall street for a long time. HISTORY OF THE DEAI. The significance of the great undertaking 1s not even now thoroughly appreciated. It 1s the cul- mination of plans that were laid nearly flve years ago, which the New York Central West Shore reor- ganization began to agitate the financial and rall- road. The vigorous railroad carried on between old ot tue thirty or more Stone steps that run in spiral fashion up the interior. ‘THE ASCENT TO THE MONCMENT. Standing at an elevation of over 2,000 feet it commands @ magnificent view of the country on every side, but from the rugged character of the mountain on which it ts butlt it 1s rarely visited by stcangers or other people, and stands In silent majesty, proudly rearing its white head among the clouds that lazily foxt over the summit of South Mountain. ‘The hands of man have cleared quite a space around the pile, but nature has thrown up immense boulders ald rocks, oue upon another, Which form an almost impenetrable Dar- Tier to the ascent by any person Who may not be Diessed with sinews of Iron and heartof oak. ‘The Way tothe monument, trom long disuse, has as- summed Its primitive appearance. And where years ago there Was a One patli oF road ieading from the eid National Road which traverses the pass through the valley, and winding round and roun up the mountain side, there ts how but little ves- tige oF evidence of it, and the curiosity seeker lust perforce drag Mis weary legs up the steep Inline, over huge rocks, fallen trees and stumps, and through the beavy undergrowth, bristling with briers and sharp twigs. ‘THE VIEW FROM THE LOOKOUT. But once at the top and standing on the plat- {orm or lookout one 18 repaid for all bis labors. The view can hardly be surpassed tm any country Inthe World. As far as theeye can reach the mountains and valleys stretch out. Mountains, mountains everywhere! Looking to the west and over the fertile Antietam valley there rises range after range of the stately Aileghanies. To the east the “greet hills of Maryland” are plainly seen in- ing the horizon with thelr round outlines, while around them nature draws a blue vetl or haze, which has caused them to be called the Blue Ridge.

Between the Alleghanies, far off in the distaace, and the South Mountains ‘THE ANTIETAM VALLEY, with its undulating surface plercedby the Big and Little Antietam Rivers, It was here that that bloody battle was fought, and there, away off in the southwest, the houses and churches of the Little town of’Sharpsburg, and, on it3 outskirts, the white outline of the great monument in the Antietam cemetery, can be plainly seen by the haked eye. Two miles anda half to the west of South Mountain fs the little town of Boonsboro’, named in bonor of that celebrated hunter, Daniel Boone, Whose favorite stamping ground this was years” and years ago. Keedysville, the railroad Station, lies about three miles due éast of Boous. boro’, which 1s communicated with by means of the Gld-fashioned stage coach, Just seen tn the distance, and Way off Uo the northwest, lies HAGERSTOWN, ‘The view to the east, north and south of the mounment, 1s not quite so extensive or on such a grand scale as that on the west, but it ts quite euough to satisfy the cravings of any person for the beautiful in pature. Here on the east 1s the celebrated Middletown Vailey, in which are nu- inerous sinall and prosperous burgs and towns. AS a farming country it ranks with ‘the best, and its Whole surface Is ¢aretully cultivated by the turitty farmers.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN GHOST STORIES. Many fanciful stories are told about this old tavern, The mountain people look upon it as haunted, and Mrs Dahlgren, in her book, “South Mountain Magic,” relates several stories of the Supernatural iabifestations which have been ob- served Within its Walls and the region around. Some say that at certain times and at the hour when graveyards yawn, phantom brigades are seen to form on the twotntain sid and chai widly down it, Others tell of a huge Diack ani- mal Which, at night Ue, comes out of the moun- tain and follow’ belated travelers up the road for about a mile from the gorge at the foot of the mountain and then disappears, As noticed above, the moaument was rebuilt in Ist, Owing Lo a siperstitiou among the villagers that'a sfoue taken trom it amd thrown down tie Fr bring good luck tothe thrower.

Vanderbilt and elder Garrett were left as a heritage to their eldest sons. The Pennsylvania, not so auch from love of the New York Central and the Vanderbiits as from a wholesome fear of the Baltimore and Obio asa powerful rival, had Suecgeded all along. tn successfully shutting out the Ballimore and Olio from New York. “It is true that Bob Garrett gained an entry into Phila- delphia, but at ruinous cost. ‘The New York Cen- tral-West Shore reorganization Was projected and carried through by the house of Drexel, Morgan & Co., a house thoroughly friendly to tne Pennsyl- ¥anla, and step by step from that time the New York Cenral and the Pennsylvania bad foreed Bob Garrett to the wall. Shortly after the success of the New York Céntral West Shore reorgant- zation, and soon after his father’s death, Mr. Gar- Tet began to talk of the cares and responsibilities of a raliroad president's ife. Just about that time he was borrowing inoney right and left to pulld his road into Philadelphia, and not long afterward e BEGAN TO TALK OF RETIRING from his place at the head of the Baltimore and Ohio system. With his old antipathy to the Penn- sylvanta people, he turned to Wm. H. Vanderbilt. ‘They had frequent conferences on the subject of throwing the contro! of the Baltimore and Ohio {nto the hands of Mr. Vanderbilt, with the New York Central ip dotihant control It was for this purpose that Mr. Garrett called om Mr. Van- derbilt on December 9, 1885, the day that Vander- Dit died suddenly in Garrett's presence, Since then Mr. Garrett has been {n frequent communica- Uon With Cornelius Vanderbilt and President Chauncey M. Depew with the purpose in view of turning over his Inheritance to the Vanderbilt system. The temporary negotlations with Alfred Sully and latterly with Henry 8. Ives followed, and when all flled Drexel, Morgan & Co. the re- organizers of the West Shore and the Philadelphia and Reading, stepped in. ONLY TWO EASTERN TRUNK LINES. When the details of the plan to put the Baltt more and Ohio on a substantial footing are com- Richmond and Terminal-Jersey Central-Reading ‘system, will be to the Pennsylvanta what the Lake Shore and Canada Southero are to the New York Central-West Shore system. Thus, practically, the New York Central and the Pennsyivania will be the only twogreat Eastern truaok lines, and harmony in the matter of freight and passenger traffic Will prevail. While the street 1s a place for bustle and haste, the steps leading up to this great ‘union Of Interests have bh slow and carefully taken. To accommodate the increased trafic com- ing into Jersey City it 1s stated that additional tracks will be bulit’ from Bound Brook to Jersey City, and that a large and much-needed depot wMl'be built on the water front, which some say bas already been acquired by the Penn- sylvania about Cavan Point. This is the water front that the Baltimore and Ohio was said to have purchased 8,000 feet of in 1886. ‘The question has been raised whether the Baitl- more and Obio syndicate will push forward the Work Ou the proposed extension of the Baltimore and Onio Uo the Arthur Kill, there to connect with the Staten Isiand Rapid Transit road. It was sald Saturday for Drexel, Morgan & Co. and Kidder, Peabody & Co. that Unis proposed enterprise of the Bultimore and Oulo would be carefully considered, but that nothing definite would be decided upon for some time. Lawyer Boardman, speaking for President J. Frank Eminons, of the Staten Island €o., sald that there may be Some delay in the mat- ter, but that he bad po reason to believe that the Baltimore and Ohio would not carry out its agreement. THE TELEGRAPH LINES. ‘The commitee of experts appointed at the instance of Mr. Jay Gould and the Western Union Telegraph Company to examine the books and equipment of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company have handed in thetr report, and Russell Sage, speaking of the matter last night, said that under bo eirctinstances Would the Western Union pay more than $3,000,000 for the Baitimore and ‘Ohio Telegraph Company. “Indeed,” he added, “it is a question Wuether we Will pay even that price. We are musters of the situation. The Western Union ts the only company that can buy the B. and O., and the B. and 0. people are tully aware of that fact.” Ibis accepted by many that the West- ern Union already controls the Baltimore and Ohio ‘Telegraph Company, and will formally take pos- session In a few days. IVES TALKS ABOUT HIS RIGHTS. Ives still Impudently Insists that not one of his “rights” has been Walved, and that he 1s sure to get damages out of Garrett. Ives’ assignee, Mr. Cromwell, says on information and belief that Garrett signed a contract with Ives to deliver the Baltimore and Ohio for @ certain consideration. Mr. Cromwell beileves that there 1s no doubt that Such a contract was signed, but that Mr. Garrett signed it for himself, abd aby remedy in law must be gotten from lim personally. Mr. Cromwell has not been able to flud the contract among Ives € Co.'s assets. According to Ives’ yarn he pald Gar- Tett $200,000 in cash aud $1,560,000 to the pre- Jerred stock of the Cincianatt,’Hauullton and Day- ton. Ives tells lus ‘agsiguee that he paid for this stock; but the books that could tell whether he ts telling the truth or not are miseing, and thus Mr. Cromwell 13 in a mess with bis suit against Gur- ret. DEFENDING GABRETT. A Baltimore special to the Philadelphia Press of yesterday gives an interview with a prominent stock broker who 1s confidentially connected with Garrett, in which he says: “Robert Garrett bas been largely the victim of his father's ambitions. John W, Garrett wanted national reputation in everything. He wanted not only to have a line through to New York, so that bis name would be placed alongside of’ those of Vanderbilt and Gould, but he wanted to be at the bead of the telegraph, the express, the sleeping-car and other business ds well. All of those enterprises be pro- Jected before nis death, They did not prove so Very costly while he lived, because they were un- developed. It was when he died and when Robert Sueceeded him that the great expense began. Robert tried to carry out all the ideas of his father, and if you will look up the his. tory Of bis adininistration you" will find that he has done nothing that was not contemplated and begun during bis father's Metime, What was the result? The telegraph, the express, and the sleeping-car scheme eucoun: tered the opposition of three of the greatest and Fichest monopolies in. thts country, and the result Was, as a matter of course, costly, and was a drain on the treasury of the road. ‘Then there was the Pailadelplita road, which cost twice as much as Was expected, and which has not paid expenses since It Was opeued. Added to all this was a cu- rious and oppressive arrangement, called a sink- ing fund, which took every year trom the earu- Jugs of the road something like $800,000 for the payment of inorigaes when they matured. ‘This Was a strong cotubination of ¢lrcumstances to struggle under, but he new contract reforms it altogether. THE WORK ON STATEN ISLAND. ‘The contract gives the road a sound financial basis, Itenablesit to get rid of outside arrange- ments, and it gives it a line to Staten Island. This talk about Staten Island being abandoned 1s all nonsence. ‘The contracts for the Kill Von Kull bridge are all out, ana two large fron steam ferry boats are being constructed here in Baltimore for Staten Island business, All that it will be neces. Sary for the Baltimore and Obto to do isto bulld a connecting track from the Reading and Jersey Central tracks at Elizabeth to the kill Von Bull bridge. ‘The syndicate contract merety prohibits the building “or ‘threat “of “butiding a new line of road trom Philadelphia to New York, Some of the money coming from the syndicate will be used in improving the terminals at Philadelphia. The fact ts, that the telegraph aud sleeplug-caF franchise, when sold, | as they will be, will bring more than'the floating Jaebtor the road amounts to. Ikuow for a cer- talaty that no offers of the telegraph have yet been made, although many men would be Willing to buy it abd continue it on its independent basix Tue new deal is of necessity a first-class thing {or the road. Kobert Garrett Will mot sell his stock: although be will reuire from the presidency, an all the other stockholders of the city will cilhg to thelr Loidings. The great regret is that the elder Garrett did not devote bis time to Southern con- nections lustead of projecting so many national schemes.” PRESIDENT ROBERTS’ VIEWS. ‘The Philadelputa Inquirer to-day prints an in- terview with President Roberts, of the Pennsyl- vania Rallroad, on the Baltimore and Ohio deal. Mr. Roberts says the deal means that rate cutting on the part of the Baltimore and Ohio. will be stopped, and that the road Will hereatter De Faved in harmony with the other trunk lines, tue principal advantage accruing to the fv tlroads wil steadier Tates and increased revenues.

BLOODSHED AVOIDED BY THE GOOD ADVICE OF THE NATIONALIST LEADENS—THE GOVERNMENT OUT- WITTED AND PLENTY OF SPEECHES MADE. Ten thousand persons assembled at Ennts yes- terday to attend the meeting of the Irish National League. The police Saturday night took posses- sion of the Hill of Ballycoree, where it was in- tended to hold the meeting. At 2 o'clock the pro- cession, enlivened by twelve bands of music, and including Messrs. Timothy Sullivan, Dillon, Cox, Sheehy, Wim. O’Brien and Philip Stanhope, all members of the house of commons, and several priests, moved toward Ballycoree Hill, approaches to which were GUARDED BY SOLDIERS AND POLICE. The procession finding Its further progress barred halted in a feld, and Messrs. Sullivan, Stanbope, and O’Brien made speeches from their carriages, A troop of hussurs, headed by Col. Turner, divis- fonal magistrate, rode up to where the procession had halted, and Col. Turner ordered tue meeting to dispersé Within five minutes. Mr. Stanhope handed Col. Turner a copy of the ‘resolutions adopted by ‘the meeting, claiming home rule, de- claring adherence to Mr. Parnell, thanking’ the Iuberal’ party, pledging resistance’ to ‘the procia- mation of the league, and denouncing land grab- Ding. Mr. Stanhope dectared that the proceedings of the meeting were legal, and that if a collision Gccurred between the pedple and the troops he ‘woul HOLD COL. TURNER RESPONSIBLE. Turner replied that he was bound to execute his, orders, After a parley the processton returned to Ennis and O'Brien addressed the erowd in O’Con- nell Square. ‘The soldiers and poltce again ap- pearing, the procession passed on to a hotel which the leaders entered.

In an address to the Anthropological Society of Brussels, Prof. Leo Errera has given a resume of ‘Some points in the chemical theory of sleep, The phenomena of sleep have in common with other ‘Vital functions the character of periodicity. AD examination of such periodic functions in general May ald in ascertaining the cause of sleep, The respiratory rhythm ts regulated by the amount of oxygen and carbonic acid in the arterial blood. ‘When tne blood is charged with oxygen the respl- ratory center momentarily suspends activity; but Soon the tissues yield their oxygen to the blood, ‘have it replaced by carbonic acid, and the blood thus modified acts as an excitant to the respira tory center. Ranke has shown that the fatigue and recovery of muscles 1s due to a similar alter- ae of the senor meee woken ain “ substances,” among netic acid. An injection’ of this. acid into flesh ‘muscle renders it incapable of work; washing the acid out restores the activity. Cannot sieep be explained by a similar chemicat theory? Preyer has extended the views of Binz, Obersteiner, and others (who all agree in making the accumulation of certain products of tatigue— ermudungsstofe—the cause of sleep) by calling all such fatiguing products of activity “pono- gens.” ‘These accumulate in walking life, are readily oxidizable and absorb the oxygen intended for glands, muscles, and nerve centers until ac tion ts impossible and a, sets in. Gradually ‘the ponogens are destroyed by oxidation, slight excitation is sufficient to arouse the centers, and waking life begins. Among the ponogens Preyer Counts lactic acid as the chief, but the experimen ‘tal demonstration of this has been unsuccessful and thetheory, accordingly,not generaliy adopted. Since these ‘researches ‘Armand Gautier has. found in the human. body a seriesot tive onganle bases akin to creatine, creatinine, and xanthine, and cails them “leucomaines” and “ptomatnes. ‘The physiological properties of these substan are narcotic, fatiguing, and sometimes lea Vomiting. ‘This ts just what the chemical Ui Tequires.
