There were several inagcuracies in the statements in yesterday’s newspapers respecting the attack by three garroters on a party of distinguished politicians, in Madison avenue, on Sunday morning last. Neither Post- master Fowler nor Captain Rynders was with the party, as was stated im the report. The facts of the matter are ‘as follows:—About one o’clock on Sunday morning County Clerk Richard B. Connolly and Mr. Ira Fowler started for home from a party held at the house of a friend up town. ‘They bad occasion to turn into Madison avenue near Thir- ty-sixth street, when they were assailed by three men, who attempted to knock them down and rob them. Mr. Ira Fowler was struck a violent blow on the temple which felled him to the earth,and another of the rufflans at- tempted to hit Mr. Connolly, but he sprang back in time; and before the fellow could recover himself Mr. C. dealt him aterrible blow with a gutta percha cane he heid in his band and knocked tim into the gutter. At this mo- ment the second garroter came up, and he also received a blow on the head which stunned him and shattered the cane intofragments. The third robber, seeing the fate of panione, took to his heels and ranaway. Mr. plement in his band, as it inflicted a dangerous cut over the eye. The cane used by Mr. Connolly had a loated silver head, and from the fact that it was bent on the first blow and broken on the second, he is satisfied that his two assailants are terribly cut.

MONEY MARKET. Monpay, Jan. 116 P. M. There was a moderately active, but a very buoyant stock this morning. In all kinds of securi- ties—good, bad and indifferent—an advance was realized. State stocks, railroad bonds, coal stocks and railroad stocks, dividend paying and non-divi- dend paying, productive and unproductive, show a very important improvement compared with the closing prices of Saturday. In the fancy railroad stocks, where the operations are entirely speculative, the transactions were principally on time.

This shows very active speculative movement. The present condition of the market exhibits every feature of a sudden collapse, such as must inevitably come the moment a rampant bull clique shall discontinue their purchases, and when this crisia shall oceur the panic will be so instantaneous and so destructive that the attempt to recover call loans will beas ineffectaal as an attempt to summens spirits from the vasty deep, ending in the banks becoming the owners, instead of being loan carriers for the account of improvident speculators, the weakness of whose operations is seen in the ficti- tious values given to stocks through the m of cornering.
