A CURIOUS CLAIM FOR PROPERTY, Thirty-tive years ago @ man named John Hancock died in this city, leaving the bulk of his property to three nieces and a nephew and all the residue to an- other nephew, Stephen Marshall, a brother of the other logateos. In 1852 Stephen disappeared from the city and could not be found, In 18569 his share of the property, hay- ing largely gained value, was sold for $15,000, a sum larger than the other shares combined, His sisters sought for him and finally received a letter from Shoat | Water Bay, Washington Territory, trom a man answer- | ing the description of Stephen Marshall, saying that he | {Ue Hore ee imorcial nud general prosperity did pot are for any of his relatives in the “States,” as tented, That letter was signed Soon after the receipt of the letter information came | that the man was dead, and his Indian wife clai property on the ground that her late husband was the “Stephen Marshall’’ to whom it had been bequeathed, ‘The sisters contested the claim, alleging that the late husband of the claimant was not their brother, the law- tul heir, A commission to take testimony in’ the ease was sent to Washington Territory. It was ascertained | there that the husband of the Indian girl had red hair | and a treekled face, ‘The sisters claim that the original Stephen Marshall had black bair and a cloar skin, was well educated and would not misspell both of his names, The Surrogate reserved his decision EDWARD H. TRACY'S WILL. The willof the late Edward H. Tracy, Chief Engineer of the Croton Aqueduct Department, who died August 28, was filed yesterday in the office of the Surrogate. ‘The will ts brief, saying:—‘l, Edward H.

Wall street has been treated to an unusual sensation in the large rise of Erie during the past two days, Tho particulars of the fluctuations will be found recorded elsewhere. What properly, however, might be termed TAK COMEDY OF ERIR took place at the company’s offices, corner of West and Duane streets yesterday morning, when a meeting was called to consider various important matters in reference to the road, ‘There were present Messrs, Robinson, Johnston, Sloan, Parker, Grant, Ramsdell, Guthrie, Stebbins and Baltzer, Mr, Lucius Robinson presided, It appears that the English Committee of Investiga- tion—at the head of which was Sir Edward Watkin— had made a request of the company that three of the old Board of Directors should resign and three gentle men be elected in their places to represent English im terests, To this invitation President and Receiver Jewett responded in the most amiable terms and recommended the willing members to send in thetr names, The first persons to submit themselves to the English guillotine were Messrs. 8. 1, M. Barlow, one of the counsel Sor the road and an old director, and Marshall O Roberts, The vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the former director was Hiled by the election of Mr. J. B, Brown, of Portland, Me., and that of Mr, Roberts by Mr. J. Lowber Welsh, of Philadelphia, The third name not having been presented by the committee, the third dt rector in the English interest was not chosen, John Taylor Johnson. offered a resolution, which was seconded by Homer Ramsdell and adopted, as fok lows Whe for pr “as Mr. S. L. M. Barlow has found it advisable, ssionat and other reasons, to withdraw from the I f Directors of this company; and whereas a communication from the President has been presented to the Board expressing his regret at this necessity and recognizing the long continued and efficient services of Mr. Barlow as a director; Resolved, That this Board heartily sympathizes with President in his expressions of regret and apprecia- contained in his letter of this date upon Mr. Bar- low’s retirement, ‘Though Mr. Barlow resigns as a director, he will still retain his position as counsel to the company. ‘The following letter from Receiver Jewett was read:— S. M. L, Bartow, Esq. :— My Dear Sir—I am in receipt of your valued faver of the Sth inst. tendering your resignation as director, to take effect as of this date, I know it has been your expressed desire from time to time since my connec- tuon with the company to retire from the Board; but for reasons which | have explained to you ag often as you have introduced the subject I have urged postpone- inent of such action by you to some future time; and when at the last election you proposed to leave’ your name off the list of directors I did not think that, im view of surrounding circumstances, it was just to your- selfor tothe other members of the Board that you should do so. I therefore again urged a postponement, knowing, however, that your duties as director, in con: nection With those of counsel of the company, taxed your time very largely; and, appreciating other consid- erations which you have communicated to me, I cannot insist upon your longer remaining in the Board. I will, therefore, although itis very unpleasant to part with you, recommend acceptance of your resignation, Very Tespecttully, H. J. JEWETT, President. THE SKCRET OF THK CUANGR in Erie, according to the alleged information of bankers and foreign dealers in Erie, is as follows, being a rather “wild”? story, by the way:— Commodore Vanderbilt has been in communication with the English committee and large English holders of Erie stock for the purpose of controlling the corpo- ration, and is sald to have been a large buyer of the common stock when it declined below fifteen per cent of its par value, By this control he could strangle all opposition to his great monopolies. It will thus be seen that the whole of the $70,000,000 of stock could pe nad by the great capitalist for a little above $14,000,000, but it would need but little over half that sum to control the elections. Now, the Commodore, im these desperately hard times, could not continue to pay eight per cent on his watered Central stock, with Eri¢ in opposition, to cut down rates, and with no interest or dividends to pay (being ina receiver’s hands), the rival thus becoming formidable and rous., It is asserted that Vanderbilt already owns one-third of the capital stock, and even @ handsome profit on such @ number of shareg would be equal to one year’s interest on Erie, and almost pay doating debt beside. However true these stock stories may be, one thing is tolerably Reda | Mr. Vanderbilt was offered last spring the control Erie by the English; but he refused to entertain any wropositions While the old Board was in power, It is pelieved, therefore, that the radical changes now taki place are in obedience to the above understanding, that new resignations may be expected from ben hi day, and all the vacancies wall probably be filled with name@ of the Commodore's selection, Of course he could n place any Central directors in Erie, as there 18 a spec! statute in New York prohibiting a’ director in one com- pany holding office in another, ‘This big “bull” yarn goes on to say that Vanderbilt cares nothing for competition west of Buffalo. He would have the lakes and four railroads to feed Centra) and Erie, and is reported as saying the latter company could pay interest on one hundred millions of capital ir honestly managed, This consolidation would mean, however, in the VANDERBILT GRASP, low rates for labor, poorer cars, and higher rates for ngers and freight, even if it presented to the stockholders the agreeable prospect of dividends, where now they contemplate past due coupons. SWELLING THR STOCK List. A number of new securities were admitted yesterday to the list to be dealt in at the Stock Exchange—in the aggregate about $58,000,000, Now is the time for some “bear” to prick the bubbles that are coming up for popular favor. Let the ery be:—No corporation can have a place in public coniidence which does not muke monthly returns of its earnings and indebted- .” Here are the new candidates tor the confidence of capitalists :—Fifteen millions Lehigh and Wilkesbarre consolidated guaranteed bonds; one million Chicago, Rock Island and Pacitic sinking fund inconvertible sixes of 1895; thirty-five millions of Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul consolidated sinking fund bond: seven and one-half millions first mortguge consolidated bonds of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indiana consolidated mortgage bonds. ‘Au English failure was announced late in the day— that ot Messrs, Seffer & Sons, of Liverpool. The lia- bilities were not stated. ‘The gold question still continues to excite comment on Wail street, and the result of the proceedings of the Eric Convention im Pennsylvania will be looked forward to by the speculators with considerable interest. If the republicans temporize on the great questions of the hour or declare for rag money in place of a return to A HARD MONEY SYSTHM, it will be considered as foreshadowing the policy of the republican party or as a bid tor Ohig popularity, either of which devices as a makeshitt policy m these days of honest endeavor will condemn the party before the ople, INPLATION NO LONGER INPLATES. Nothing can be more true than the following para- graph from the paper recently published by the Hon, Elijah Ward, Congressional presentative of the Eighth district of this city :— “We have ¥ arrivea at the period when inflation no longer inflates. In the body political and financial, as in the human body, there is a point where the power of stimulants ceases and can no longer prevent collapse. This is the law of all serious panics and their results, There ts a great shrinkage in business, pected until a new financial system which will deserve and receive public | contidence is fairly begun, In proportion as there is a cry for inflation capital, — proverbially timid, secks tor safety, withdraws from enterprise and refuses to employ labor. Until the future policy of the government is permanently settled there will be no of the country.” ‘A TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG, The export of wheat and corn at the present time is somewhat checked by the depression in foreign chan but this must soon regulate itself, There iw one tung in this connection worthy of mention, and that is, there is a production tn the United States U | year of about 1,000,000,000 bushels of corn and aboul $50,000,000 bushels of wheat, and we export only ten per cent of the Jormer aud fifteen per cent of the latter, yet the exports of our cereals regulate the prices 1m our own markets, There 1s something incongruous in thi THE GERMAN FESTIVITIES, ‘THE NORTH GERMAN FESTIVAL AT THE SCHUET+ ZEN PARK, ‘The national festival of the North German societies the Schuetzen Park, Union Hill, _yester- day, entered upon its fourth day, and large crowds were in attendance, Tho rush, how- ever, Was not so great as on the previous day, Dut it is estimated that during the past few days some 90,000 persons have visited the festival grounds The programme of amusements was as varied as usual. elty Was an exhibition of tableaux, representing Barbarossa, the traditional German Emperor awaken- & slumber of ages in the Kyphaeu- ser Mountains, oie the unification — of the German ‘people. he cen, illuminated with calcium lights, presented quite an artistic display. The ritlemen of the Schuetzen organizations were en- gaged in rifle practice, and prizes toa large amoum have b provided, ’ The dancing platiorms were crowded Ull late at night, when the park was brilliantly itlummated, Thus fur the lestival has been @ success, and no affair of the kind for several years hat attracted such multitudes of pleasure seekers, One of the evils, however, whieh resulted from the great rush of the past few days was the advent of amerous thieves, who, owing to the crush and the lack of adequate police ‘arrangements, were enabled te operate with success im too many instances, Some pro. cuutions have been taken to guard against these oriamle ‘nals during the remainder of the festival, ‘The sestival will be continued to-day, at
