i. OUTRAGE ON A RAILWAY TRAIN, [CONTINUED FROM EIGHTH PAGE.) several severe blows in quick successioa on the head, the blood spurting out on the floor and sides of the car, The man was evidentiv horror-siricken, and cajled out to bis assailant not to strike him and offered to pay bis fare. he conductor still continuing to sirike him, the other passengers interiered and told the brate they would not allow such treatment, He then ‘called the brakemen to his assistance, and, alter a severe struggle, the men Was ejected. He ne’ once raised his hand to strike, but clung tenaciously to the seats, the door and the handrail, bleeding profusely ull the time and seeming utterly stupefied. Finally he was flavg into a pool of water on the inside of ihe track and the train moved on, Great indignation was expressed by the passen- gers, and steps were taken to have the brutal conductor rought to punishment, Inquiries made of the brake- men as to the nome of the conductor, &., elicit answers of the vilest and most obscene character. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL After the Hurly-Burly—The Strength that Follows a Vast Shrinkage. THE WEEK'S REVIEW. The Gold and Money Market—The New 4 1-2 P.r Cent—Government and Railroad Bonds, Watt Strest, Sunpay, August 27, tia In stock speculating circles, and, indeed, far outside of them, the past week has been one of nervous activ- ity, Wail street bas had another fever, and bas passed through the ordeal with the usual recent eilect, com- ing forth shrunken in body and reduced in strengt!y Mf clear and active for future contests, In one sanse the malady was a disastrous one, for the chief suffer- ers are believed to have been those who coula jeast combat such an attack—small investors outside of the SBtreet—and the result of the movement has been an immense shrinkage in the present marketable values of the stocks involved. To the ordinary observer it Must scom a monstrous thing, in any financial phase of the country wnen we are not actually en- gaged in war, that there should seem to be momentarily no protection whatever for the innocent purchaser for investinent of the stock of an apparently sound railroad, and jhe Jessous of the past and of this recent “panic’—tor such im effect it ‘was—shall bave been cast away, if Wall street—which bas of late been toaching the outside world to such good effect—does not ultimately reap a harvest of its own sowing. The disruption of the coal combinahon came at a time peculiarly favorable to the “bear” influence, just. now so ready to seize on serviceable “points.” It was kuown that there were not at hand, as there have been in past times on Wall Btreet, large purchasing interests to arrest the downward course of stocks The eyidences of the withdrawal of money from active employ. ment In this direction have been of the compictest kind. Even during the excitement incident to’ such a fall as these coal stocks have had, wheu the ‘panic’? was at it its highest, money lent on call, at tho most, at only 3 per cent The disrup- tion of the combination placed the small in- Yestor completely at the mercy of the active specu- lator, for the eilect of the disruption was something of which it was extremely difficult tor outsiders to judge correctly. The excitement occasioned by the ‘bear’? assaults on these stocks gave rise to inquiries concern- ing their bonds, obligations, guarantees, the pro-pect of future combinations being formed for their protec- tion, &c., which those most interested could not for the moment answer, and thus confusion continued. Now that the mischiet has been done there is a reaction ‘and the coal shares have recovered from 3 to 11 per cent on the loss sustained, but the first holders untor- tunately are not the ones who profit thereby. W street, which reaped thé profit of the fail, now gains also by the return of coniidence and the advance m prices. The Secretary of the Treasury sold to tho syndicate last Thursday $40,000,000 of the 4% per | cents, authorized under the tunaing act of July 14,1870. This intelligence was used, especially before its confirmation, to affect the price of gold, but it seems to have been agreed since then that it should have no disturbing effect in this direction, ‘Phe gold speculation was alternately weak and firm, the prices declining to 11014, advancing to 111%, and losing at 111. quiet and closed ata dechne. In railway mortgages there was a heavy declino im the New Jersey Central, Issues, which aifected the general list to some extent. Atthe close, however, this class o{ securities was tteady and the Pacific issues were higher, ‘The foreign exchanges were firm early in the week and rates were advanced twice, but flaally the market became dull and rates wero lowered 44 per cent, clos- mg weak. During tho week New Jersey Central declined 239% per cent; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 15%; per Delaware and Hudson Canal, 16 per cent, and Morris and Essex, 63g per cent. The genera) market resisted this depression for atime, but finally gave way 110 4% per cent. in and there was a recovery of 31011 percent in the coal shares and 3g to 3 percent in the remainder of tho | list. The fact that no failures resulted {rom this break is Teceivedas a further confirmation of the statement that only emali holders were atfected, There have been encouraging signs of activity in the dry guods trade during the week and a large ‘all business is promised. The market generally has been firmer, and buyers grow more coniident. THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE WREK.

ARRIVAL OF THE FLEET AT NEWPORT—A HEAVY BEA AND WIND DEAD AHEAD—THE CAPTAINS ANXIOUS TO GET HOME, Newrorr, &. L, August 27, 1876. The New York Yacht Squadron arrived here from Provincetown this afternoon just before three o'clock, and everybody was surprised to seo them, as it was generally understood that the fleet had disbanded. ‘The fleet now comprises tho following vessels:—Alarm, Restless, Vindex, Dreadnaught, Palmer, Idler, Jose: phine, Meta, Windward, Wanderer,and Vision. All but the last two, who went to Martbh’s Vineyard yester- day, are here, ‘The latter are expected to-morro' Yhe fleet left Provincetown yesterday mor. dng at thirty minutes past ten. The Com. modore’s boat passed Vineyard Haven at eight this morning, bemg six miles ahead of the rest of the fleet, and thus made the trip to this port from that point in seven hours, a distance of fifty miles, The wind was northwest, dead ahead, and there was an unusually heavy sea on, which necessitated the housing of the topmasts of all’ the vessels, Tho Idler was the first boat in arriving, about five minutes abead of the Alarm. She started five minutes; ahead of the Alarm trom Provincetown and passed her this side of the Vineyard. The fleet have been to Gloucester and they have never been as far to the eastward betore. On Thursday they wént to Manchester, the Alarm arriving first, hove to, and they entered the harbor as asquadron. ‘On Friday, they went to Provincetown, Yhey ‘report an trip and are well pleased with their weeks’ cruise, ‘The Commodore stated to-night 10 =a HERALD reporter that he could not foreshadow the future movements of the ficet, However, a meoting of the captains would be held to-morrow morning, and their future movements would then be decided. He could not say whether there would be any racing from here or not, as the squadron had been together for two weeks, and the captains naturally were desirous of re- turning home, It is probable that the fleet will dise band and the usual races be omitted, much to the dis- gust of the hotel people, and everybody else, in fact, in this vicinity. PAVONIA UNION REGATTA. A BREEZY RACE FROM THE NEW JERSEY ABAT- TOIR TO FORT LAFAYETTE AND BACK—THE FULTON WINS THE YIRST AND THE CLARA 8. THE SECOND PRIZE. The water basin in the region of the Jersey City Abattoir presented yesterday morning a very lively ‘appearance. The white canvas of a number of small yachts which bore at their peaks club and private sig- nals, and the bustle around the Pavonia Yacht Club house indicated that a regatta was to take place, The Hudson River Yacht Ciub, by special invitation of the Pavonta Yaent Clu, yesterday parucipated in a union regatta of the two clubs, which permitted yachts of the first and second classes of both clubs to be entered. THE COUKSE wos from a stakeboat anchored off the Abattoir, at Long Dock, Jersey City, to and around Fort Diamond, owerwise known aa Fort La(ayette, passing the same from west to east and back to the staxeboat, turning the same from east to West. 1t was intended ‘to lay a separate course for second ciass boats of a shorier distance to the can buoy oif Kobvins’ reef and buck to the abattoir, but this was abandoned, and all the boats had to make tue same course. he ollicers of the Pavonia Club are;:—Commodors L. Kreymeyer; Vice Commodore, Jobu L. Cleary ‘Treasurer, Heory Holmes; Secretary, Alexander W. Murray; ‘Measurer, Peter ’S, Lowrey: At the time of the start, which was a flying one, the wind was northwest and the tide was ap the flood. ‘The ‘course, as sailed, ts about eighteen miles long. There was a brisk breeze.at the start, and the boats had heavy ballast and full crews with them. The chief favorites were the Eureka, a tine boat; the Clara S., a swilt crait, and the Fulton, a saucy little thing that made good ber owner’s opinion of her sailing qualities during thg race, The juoges for the two clubs were Hei Hoimes and Alexander W.

AN ESTIMATE OF THE CREWS. The Ward-Biglin Crew Allowed to Row. GULSTON NOT 10 ROW IN THE ae SINGLES Purtapurrua, August 26, 1876. To-day hag been a very lively one among the pretty poathouses uwlong the Schuy!kill, and both on land and water promivent oarsmen inay be seen almost wherever you turn, Dublin was out this morning, with Mr. Hick- gon at stroke, the two Barringtons in the waist and Mr, Ferguson at bow, wad this ia evidently the correct arrangement of the crew. They scarcely look tine enough for men proposing to row a very hard race within the next two days, and, while they get along yory fast when in spurting they rusi the stroke up to forty, thoy do not seem to keep their pace so well as when at the thirty-seven at which they propose to row the race, As in the graduates no four appoars against them they feel un@iliing to allow the Atalanta and Yale fours to. con- tend in it, and propose making 1 a walk over and claiming the prizo. It will be remembered that Eustis, Lyons, Rodgers and Downs, the Atalanta four, are all Wesleyans, and as two have actually graduated and the other two left college shortly before gradua- tion it wasthought thatas there is no graduate crew ready Dublin might permit them and the Yale tour, part of whom are graduates, to row them imstead. But Captain Barrington says that graduate crews are as uncommon with them as with us; that he bad difll- culty in getting his present one together, and hence feels that as tbis was the race they are mainly in- torested in they ought to adhere to their purpose as above stated. Thus one of the threo great tour-oarcd races is to be won without a fight. Not a very com- forting fact, doubtiess, to the graduates of Harvard, Yale or Columbia, Sulltho open amateur fours will show the relative merits of each, and the week is to open at two o'clock Monday afternoon, with the trial heats of this class, Iu the firet heat between the Eurekas and Argonantas, of Bergen Point, and the Dublin four a fine race is expected between the two latter crews, and opinion here is still much divided as to the winner, The stroke oarsman of each has had to succumb some- what to the feat abd to the water, Eldred, of the Argonautas, vomiting profusely within the last twenty- four hours ,and looking haggard and thin, But both he and Hickson are on the mend and may be all right by Monday, THE SECOND EEAT. At a quarter of three, in the second heat, between Yale, the Vespers and Crescent Citys, Yale 18 the favor- ite, owing to tho fact that the Vespers this week made the faster time. But if Yale does poorly on Monday it will be mainly owing to the change she nas made at the eleventh hour; Wood at bow, whoso steering was so criticised the other day, giving way to Cook, Whether this will mend matters tsa question, because Cook is as unfamiliar with the piace as Wood. Kennedy, too, while a most valuable man in the waist is too slow at stroke, a lighter, quicker man, like Cook, being what they need, With tho latter thero in his old place and Keunedy in bis next bow, they would then need only a good steerer at bow to be all right. Now, when they paddle they go off in tlag torm; but the minate they quicken into a racing stroke they rock and splash and go to pieces, Had they @ week more, as they ought to have, it would be a bless- ing, though if they lose this heat and so are kept out of the final they still have another turn—namely, in the intercollegiate four—later. THE THIRD BEAT. In the third heat, at half-past three, Columbiais alinost certain to make shout work with the Quaker City four, of this city, and the Enzabeths, of Ports- mouth, Va, unless the latter’s looks belie them greatly. This will make Columbia all right for the second trial, in which the six winning crows Monday are to compete later, THR FOURTH HEAT. In this neat the Beaverwyeks, of Albany, and tho Duquesues, of Alleghany City, are likely to pick tho Falcons to pieces in very short order, and sturdy and powerful fellows as the Beaverwycks are aud though most talked about, if the Duquesnes are at their best, small men though they are, thts will be oae of the hardest heats of all avd the chances look even that they may win, IN THR VIFTH HEAT the Watkins four are likely to win unless their rivals, two local clubs, are better than is supposed by thoso who have seen them, ‘This is the only heat of the seven in which some crew ot wide reputation does not con- tend, and the managers may well congratulate thom. selves that the lot tell so lavorably throughout, whe sixtit HEAT will be the great one of the day and Will go far toward disclosing Who, a few days later, will be in the final heat and who wiil win it aud the champiouship of the worki im amateur fours. For here is the famous North- western team, the champions of this country; the Ata- lantas, the eX-champtons, who, at Saratoga, at tho mile abd @ baif (the length of the course here) were but one second bebind the former, and that with their largest man, Rodge: tired from bis hot race in the double scuils the after: noon before; and, finally, a better known four than either—the renowned London Rowing Clab men, When Gulston, the captain of the Jatter, heard who were thus drawn with hima ho said, *fhat wiil be glorious !”’ and so it will, though from the bearing of the latter four, it looks a4 if Ubey felt sure of winning. Gulston only saw the Northwesterns row this morning for the first Lime, apd while he pronounces Curus, their bow, as the best looking man he has seen here, and says our oarsmen have too much muscle for the frame is bung on, Which 18 a8 true as that Philadeipbia is bewer served with horse cars than New York, he says an equally fit and trae thing when he adds that none of our crews row with enough dash— technically enough ‘devil’? If any one does not clearly uuderstaud What he means, jet hin wateh his (Guiston’s) crew ior about sixty seconds when bard at work and be will be convinced conclusively. [tis indeed scarce among us, Columbia bas it pretty weil until she hurries and then shortens, Corneil had 1 at Saratoga better than aay other amateur crew in America, and it is little short Of a shame that she is not here now to take the piace she could sowell fill. And as usual with men who hold back when everybody but themselves seo that they ought to have gous forward, she would just have iaved the very danger #he seemed most to ter, the Yale crew, and catching the better not at her beat, as suown ‘above, woula bave won, thus, ‘ed, beating every ‘fast collee crew in tho country, instead of all, save one, But however justly Guistou's coufidence is placed, ho says that this is not the fastest four in his clap; that Playiord, a young ‘el- low of twenty-one years, sx feet two inches high, and asiashing varsman; Long, of the old four, an equaily “peachy” man, and Le Blane Smith, also an old oars- un, cotid beat the present lol. ouid London not y win, etter all, it would throw her out of the otber ond aud final heats, severai of the crew: she can probably beat, thus showing that tis heat sys- tem of racing never absolutely setties the relative merits o/ ali the competing crews, TUM SEVENTH AND LAST WAT between the Cambridge First Trinity four and the Oneidas, at Burlington, N.

Their | names are:—W, Spencer, vow; Henry Thomas, No. J. Higgins, No. 8, and Thomas Green, stroke. These are all of the party, no reserve | man haying been brought along. The steamer | left Liverpool upon the seh inst., and after a quiet voyage, reached pier 49 North River, at five | o'clock last evening, During the jouracy the tour kept pretty weil upto their training, though their only | means of exercise consisted of a pair of dumb bells. | Having so short a space of time in which to practise | between their arrival and the international contests | the crew wore anxious to make all speed in reaching she Sebuyikill, In hopes of getting to Philadeiphia last evening they had made special arrdugements to bo transferred at once to Jersoy City and the Pennsylvania Railroad, No sooner Lad the Idaho fastened to the whar: than the William Tittamer, a little side wheel steamer belonging to the Williams & Guion line, ran up alongside, With the aid of Mr. P. W, Gibson, General Passenger Agent, aud a United States Revenue | officer, the members of the crew and their baggage were quickly transferred to the Tittamer, About balf | an hour was occapied in transferring their boats, four im number, und then they steamed rapidly Across the river. Upon reaeh- ing tho Pennsylvania - Railroad Company's | wharf at Jersey City, the boats were landed on the | dock, preparatory to a departure upon the seven o'clock train for Piiladelphia, The boats were packed in such unimanagabie form, however, that the railroad officers said they could not be placed on top of the coaches and would have to go ona freight car, This occasioned the delay here of the crew uatil this morn- ing, when they will take an early train for Mhiladel- phia, TmE your. | Mr. Spencer, who pulis the bow oar, was bora in | Cheisea, is thirty years of age, stands five fect eight inches in height, and his rowing weight is 130 pound He 1 the smallest man of the four, and at the same time appears to be the most wiry and energetic.

Tuomas Green, wno pulls stroke in the erew, was bora in London; |x twenty seven years of age; ve feet six inches in height, and weighs 140 pounds) He is a burly man of bis size, and apparently full of energy and pluck, He has been rowing tor six’ years past, Togetuer with Thomas he was a member of theerew which won the Thaines’ regatta in 1872, 1873 and 1874.

Though the olde. man in the crew, and considered the strongest oarsman, he bas bad but tour years’ experience, two as ay amateur and yas a profissional, He is distinguishable for his very broad shoulders, strong neck, and altogether sturdy appearance, He is to-day one of the best, if not the champion of English scullers, He bas never beem beaten in a single-scull contest, while he has rowed s Anthony Strum, gf Baron Far- y { Shadwell Upon the 20th of last asily defeated Boyd, of Neweastle, He wom ps as an amateur, in Isi2and Ish t COMING TO AMERICA, ‘This is the first season in which these men have rowed as 9 four, though Spencer, Thomas and Greew have previously rowed tog in other crews. ‘Thomas aud Green have rowed together for four years Judging from thetr individual records and their ormances this summer the combination ixa very ig one, They appeared somewhat jaded yesterday alter their voy. but withal are a hardy and de- termined sot of m1 ‘This visit to America has beem under ecnsideration for a long time.

The boaté in which the two men rowed wore twenty-two foot shells, Knoth is a large, power- ful wan, five feet ten incnos in height, and Fohey is @ litile fellow, wot over five feet four inches in height, andof light frame. At forty-five minutes past fout © o'clock the signal was given and both men dipped the race, | their oars, Knoth catching water first and leading af the start, Fohey doing bis best; but the greater streugt of bis antagonist seemed at the lead to tell against Fohey, aud during the rst half wie Knoth looked and worked as if be wore about to win; but this kind of thingdid not lust long, and presently Fohey, who was rowing in much better form, dropped bis man to the rear and rapiaty increased the distance between them, the excitement in the menotime on board of the Clara growing every moment At the stake at Bay Ridge Fohey led Knoth by over 4 mile out of the two miles and o half that pad been wed tothe turn home, In going back to the stake at Hicks street Kooth became disgusted with his luck, and dropped out of the race altogether in a sulky manner just as he was told from the Clara to gu to “Philadelphia aud row Courtenay for a medal.” Knoth made a complaint to the jndge that buckets of water bad been throwa on him from the Clara, but bis story was denied by the captain avd the claim could not be allowed by the judge, Fohey won the race in 42m,, the mateh being lor $100 a side. i BASE BALL NOTES.
