Every incoming train brings ite qnota of clergy and laymon, who como to take part in the celebration and to do honor to one of the Koman church’s most faithful sons. An indication of the high esteem with which the venerable prelate is held-by the highest ofticials of tho church is shown m tho special envoy of Pope Leo in the person of Mgr. O'Brien and the gift which the latter bears from the Vatican. The high regard in which Archbishop Ken- rick is held by hiv colloagues is also amply in- dicated by the hundreds of eceiesiastics who are already in tho city and others who havo signified their intention of being here by tomorrow. In addition to the arrivals men- tioned last night were Archbishops Janeseness of New Orleans and Gross of Portland, Oreg., and Canon O'Hanton of Dublin, Ireland. ‘This morning’ s arrivals included the following distinguished prelates: Archbishop Corrigan of New York, Bishop Matse of Denver, Arch+ bishop Ireland of St. Paul and Archbishop Kiordan of San Francisco.

New Yonx, Nov. 28:—The suspicion that the firm of Field, Wiechers, Lindley & Co., which failed yesterday, had rehypothecated the se- curities held by them ona loan for $600,000 and amounting to $1,000,000, developed into acer- tainty this morping. At the stock exchange £80,000 of Union Pa- cific, Denver and Gulf consolidated first mort- Upon hearing of this fact Judge Dillon sent for Assistant Secretary Burnham of the stock exchange and had a conference with him at his office. Sidney Dillon was present. Mr. Burn- ham was notified that the entire hist of secur- ties are not a good delivery and was requested to post the notice. meeting of the committee on securities was hurriedly called by Secretary Ely aud th came to the decision t! the securities would not be a good delivery and posted a notice, to that effect and sent word to the various barks. Tho securities named in the protest sent to members of the exchange include 1,000 shares of Texas Pacific railway stock certificates, 100 shares of Oregon and Short Linc, 100 shares of Utah and Northern, first mortgage bonds of Union Pacific and Gulf, Oregon Railway and Navigation, Union Pacific, aver and Gulf consolidated 5 per cent first mortgage bonds,in all amounting toabout $1,000,000. ‘Mr. Sidney Dillon was met on Broad street hurrying to his office.

J., Nov. 28.—The murder of Mrs. Charles T. Leonard has horri- fied this whole community. Word was received here this morning that Constable Johnson had | arrested the murderer, Louis Hariot, on board the steamboat Minnie Cornell at Keyport, upon which he intended to 1@ve for New York. Late last night the coroner of Navesink com- menced the inquest. The jury was selected and the body viewed by them. A contusion was found on the forehead, which had evidently been inflicted by what is known asa fish plate _—_joint, used in the construction of railroad tracks. Arope was found wound tightly around the neck. ‘Tho woman's face was almost unrecog- nizable on account of the discoloration. After making a superficial examination of the body the coroner's jury adjourned until jonday. At midnight Drs. John H. Vanmetter and H. A. Hendrickson of this town made @ post mortem examination of the body. They re- ported that the skull on the right side was crushed; that the rope wound around her neck would have caused strangulation, but she might have died from either strangulation or the injuries inflicted on her head. Mrs. Leonard was highly respected. Her maiden name was Grover. She was thirty- eight years of age and had three children. Hariot, the murderer, is native of L and about twenty-two years of age. it is evident that ho assaulted — Mrs, Leonard and that the woman resist- ing he etruck her with the piece of railroad iron referred to and then strangled her with the rope. Hariot was employed by Mr. Leon- ard. He engaged him on November 13 at the employment agency of E. RB, Branalon, 120 Greenwich street, New York.

Sr. Lovrs, Nov. 28.—A special from Guerdon, Ark,, says: The excitement here is intense, as ® momentary attack by negroes is looked for. They say that the whites have been exercising superiority too long and that they will reverse this condition of affairs. Our citizens all go armed pre- aratory to resist any attack that may be made yy the blacke. In Thursday's rioting Marshal uffman was slashed with a knife, and while his wound is not thought to be fatal, yet it is quite serious, The marshal used his pistol to good purpose, bringing down his assailant with a bullet through the chest, An attack is fully looked for, as the negroes are inflamed with rage over Tuesday's lynching and yesterday's defeat. Henry Gurley, the negro who was rescued from the marshal, has fled. sd ce CADETS MEET THE “MIDDIES.” A Great Foot-Ball Game at the Naval Acad- emy This Afternoon. Awxaporis, Mp., Noy. 28.—For the first time in the history of West Point its pupils have been permitted to leave the institution for the purpose of engaging in an athletic contest. This afternoon a foot ball eleven from the army's training school meet the Naval Academy team. Last year the middies went up to West Point and defeated the cadets by 24 to ©. This year the West Pointers hope to their revenge. Foot ball was never played at West Point until last year, when a team was collected to meet the naval cadets, but this season the young soldiers have become enthu- siastic over the game and are making a crodita- ble showing. So far they have played six matches aud suffered but one defeat. Their record has been as follows: Siglar's Schi wburg. N. Y., besten 16 to4; St, Jobn's ge, Fordham, beaten 10 to 4; ton scrub team, tied at 12 to 12; Stevens insti- tute of Hoboken, N. J., beaten'l4 to 12: Rut- gers College, victorious over the cadets by 27 to-4 thletic Club of the Sebuylkill navy, benten 6 to 0. ‘They have practiced faithfully under superior conching and they show tho effect of it. Every man knows the duties and exigencies of his po- sition and is competent to cope with them. ‘The cadets hang well together as @ team and can make concerted play that will astonish the middies. During the past week the team has perfected itself in an elaborate signal code, and many noteworthy changes have been made from the old cadet meth ‘The West Pointers arrived this morning from Baltimore and were met by a reception com- mittee consisting of Naval Cadets C.

FINANCIAL 4ND COMMERCIAL Sirens Mie keTcrtohennd Meese a “te She a ae Review of the Market. Henry Clews’ “Weekly Financial Beview, issued today, says: The past week bas shown some improvement in the tone of business at the stock exchange and some recovery in prices. The change has been in a large measure due to @ relief from the extrome tension lately existing in the European markets. Apart from speculative movements, there seems to have been an improvement in the Eu- ropean situation in some material respects. This remarkable occurrence of events of a picitic tendency puts, for the time being at ast, a widely differcut aspect upon foreign affairs fram that which ay bg me an almost hopeless apprehension on the European mar- kets. From quarters responsible for all that apprebension there comes an open expression of desire for a revision of relations in the in- terest of peace, It is trae it may prove ob- stacles stand between the desireand the achieve- ment, but so much as bas transpired in these initiatory efforts warrants a more hopeful atti- tude in the financial markets of Europe and America. During the week Russia has closed her ports against the export of wheat, which, added to her previous stoppage of exports of oats, must have the effect of ments of those cereals from our own ports. ‘The large shipments of grain are adding re- markably to the volume of our exports. The balance in our favor for the three months four millions, compared with only fif- teen millions in 1890. Under the gloomy conditions recently exist- ing abroad it was not unlikely that this balance might be liquidated to some extent by the re- turn of our securities; but the more hopeful symptoms in both the finances and the politics of Europe above referred to favor liquidation in gold rather than securities. At Lome also current influences are favorable to the stock market. The condition of the bank reserves is conducive to continued ease in money. The trade of the ~country at large is. be- ginning to show a more distinct resj to the stimulns coming from our abund- ant harvest. The earnmgs of the railroads are still gaining upon those of last year, and that upon the net as well as the gross business, These several factors are producing « firmer feeling among holders of stocks, and as the market js largely oversold the purchases of the “bears” tocover short contracty are likely to have a favorable effect on pricesatan early day. Under these circumstances it wouldseem sate to buy good stocks on the reactions for early favorable developments. ———~ +e. ____ Washington Stock Exchange. lar call—i2 o'clock m: Ecki1 35 at Ba Ws company, 5 at 1v¥; 2 at 109.

I wish specially to request marketers and consumers to take decided stand against tho sale of Undrawn poultry. It is unwholesome to « degree not imagined by most people. Seareely is a fowl cold in death before organic changes begin, causing the formation of noxious gases, which soon permeate the flesh, ruining its dainty flavor and rendering it unfit to be taken into @ delicate stomach. Many persons wonder why they are attacked with griping and often diarrhea, after ng of The reason is simply thi ing that which has bee how long—a close receptacle for a sickening, poisonous mass! We have smelled chicken cooking the odor of which resembled that of an ancient and much-used hencoop. Faugh! how disgusting ! There is another consideration, though of minor importance. The entrails, head, feet and legs up to the first joint are’ usuall; sold with undrawn fowix, These weigl over @ pound in a good-sized chicken, the weight of course increasing propor- tionately ‘with the bird. And please take notice “that undrawn fowls are invariably brought to market with bulging craws. The Poor things are given all they will eat at their t meal. Corn is heavy and cheap. We—aif we are foolieh enough todo so—have to pay the full price of good meat for all this repulsive d_utterly worthless stuff. It is make all Real Estate Matters, Samuel 8.

Viexxa, Nov. 28—The details of @ most horrible attempt at suicide have been made public today. It is without doubt @ case that never had ite parallel in this city, and the most remark- able feature about it is that the would-be suicide is at last reports still alive. The doctors are particularly interested in the case, as showing how tho brain may be terri- bly injured and yet not cause death. The case in point is that of a septuagenarian who was admitted to a hospital bere today. It is said that the man was recently attacked ith religious mania and became impressed with the idea that he was called upon to make a sacrifice. He therefore procured sev- eral nails, each three inches long, and hammered’ them into his skull. When was taken to the agony from which he suffered and to make his death easy. The hospital doctors, of course, do not entertain the slightest hope of his re- covery. ie Str James P. Corry of Ireland Dead.
