10 NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1878.--QUADRUPLE SHEET--WITH SUPPLEMENT BARNEY FERRON’S MURDER. @HE ASSASSIN TELLS HOW HE KILLED THE OLD | BOATMAN, AND ALLEGES THE DEED WAS DONE IN SELP-DEPENCE—CONTRADICTORY SIATE- MENTS AND DAMAGING ADMISSIONS. When the Court of Oyer and Terminer—Jndge Gil- ert and Associate Judges of Sossions, Kings county—reassembled yesterday morning pursuant to adjournment to continue the trial of John W. Wright for the murder of Bernard Ferron, the boat- » court room was crowded in ev part. “rook was called and teatified as te fact of the prisoner having admitted, before Judge Ferry, that he had killed Ferron. The prisoner, Wright, ‘was then called to the witness stand by Colonel E. F, ‘Wood, his counsel, and in answer to questions gave, ina harsh tone of voice and with apparent callous- ness of disposition, the subjoined history of his ante- gedents and the crime of which he stands accused, THE MULDERER'S STORY. My name is John W. Wright, and I reside at Indian | River, that is on the seacoast; 1 live with my | father and mother, who keep house the: father is a carpenter; both parents are stil living; I am twenty years old; was | nineteen years old on the 16th of March; first left | my home about three years ago, when I shipped on board the schooner Lizzie as cook; after I had been five or six months on that vessel she laid up, in the full of the year, and I returned to my home and went to school; the following spring I shipped with Ca tain A. L. Crowley on another vessel, where I re. mained during thesummer season; the next season I shipped on the schooner J. C. Nash, aud re- mained on her four months, in 1877; then went on the James Warren one trip to New York; my father coll half my wages and I took the other half; I stopped home, then, one month, and on October 22, 1877, I shipped on board the schooner Mary B. Harris and came with her to when Captain Crowle; to | me he settled up with me and ) interrupted the counsel. No; { never saw him before,” was the rejoinder of the prisone “Do you temember!March 16, 1878?" “Ldo,” curtly responded Wright. What kind of a day was it?” “It was a pleasant day,” was the retrospective an- swer of the murderer, who continued, coolly:—The water was very still and perfectly calm; on that morning L was left on the vessel alone, from seven in the morning until two in the afternoon; after my triend Tabbot lett the vessel I cleaned up the cabin, and was getting the lamps in readiness and reparing dinner in try; I don’t now who took Mr. Jewett’s luggage ashore when he leit the Harris, in the Erie Basin; I don’t remember whether it was Bernard Ferron or not; Iwas standing in the pantry wh Ferron came in this door, said Wright, indicating | the place on the drawing; he came into the cabin | and sat down on a chair on the starboard side, and I sat on the lounge; as he did so he said, “Good morn- ing;” then he commenced talking aboat the weather; 1 got up and sat down on achair; I asked him if be | would have a drink; we had a bottle of gin, | from which we both took a drink: he usked, “Where is the Captain?’ I told him he wus away; a bag of coffee was standing in the door, end he went and felt of it; from that he wanted to | buy the cotiee, and 1 said I wouldn't like to sell it; after he felt of the coffee he made me an offer for it; | te said he would give me $15 tor the bag; ho fook his pocketbook out and showed me $ told him I wouldn’t sell it, as it was the captain's. WOW THE KILLING Was DONE. ‘Then he put his pocketbook baek in his pocket and 8: “You damned Downeaster, I will have it;” ; I tad him to go out of nm; Iwas there alone, and I did not want him there; he said, “You damned Downeaster, yon give me that,” and he came for ms, and struc! this point of the narrative Wright indica’ iageam shown him by counsel, the position of the e for m vessel.) On resuming the isoner said:—Ho tunes and he bit me on facee he followed mo to keep away from went back to the mate’s stateroom aud when [ got there the first thing I thought of was that there was a hammer under the mate's bunk; I reached my hand under, arew it ont and hit Ferron on the head end it rather stunned him; I hit him @ second time and struck at him « third tirne, when the hammer flew out of my hand and the handle struck him. While the prisoner was recowating this tragical part ot his brutal murder of the old boatman he became somewhat nervous. He spoke with greater repidity, his eyes sparkled and his cheeks flushed as he pouited with his right hand to the diagram to in- dicate the precise locations ot objects marked thereon. “I ran out,” he continued, “af the cabin and ran up the gangway ; 1 did not know-what to do, for I thougit Ferron would follow me. As he did not come up L Went rowud to the forward gimgway and looked down, When I sow him lying on the-door.” Judge GaLurkt—Well, was he dead? Piisonke \siowly)—I thing he was; I considered what I had better do, and [theaght Lhad better take him out and heave himn overboard. Objection wae, made by the District Attorney to the witness telling what he thought. “Did you mend to Kill usm (Ferron)?* asked the counsel, “No, sir,” wus the reply; “I thought he was going to kill me; Iwas in foar of bodily harm, and was straid be woald kill me, the way he came for me.” Wright then said that he teok hold of Ferron's feet and dragged him out of the cabin, and taking the body to tius starboard side of. the vessel he coliected some old iron, and getting @ bag he tied tho weights to the boty; he lifted the ’oag to the rail first and then th iy, and threw th em overboard; when the body warrou the rail he saw 4 wallet sticking out of the peecket, and taking it out he threw it on the after hateh; then cleaned the blood off the cabin; at half-past twelve he rowed ashore in the boat of decewsed; witness said that his Weight was about one hund red and thirty-tive pounds, and Ferron was a larger roan; there was no fracture of theskull whem he threw’ the body overboard. On the cronsexamination by District Attorney Catlin the prisoner freqaently contradicted himself. He adanitted stealing cotfise and selling it, and that ho had m: Postitution of $10 to Captain Crowley, and had comm ted other theitts. The trial was adjourned till Monday, when the case will be given to the jury. THF, SILVER LAKE TRAGEDY, EDWSED REINHARD APPLIES TO BR RELKASED ON BAIL—DECISION RESERVED, Purstant to a writ of habeas corpus served on Sheriff Benjamin Brown, of Richmond connty, on ‘Thursday last, requiring him to produee the body of Edward Remhardt, who is charged with the murder of wife, before Judge Pratt, in the Supreme Court, Kings county, yesterday forenoon, that official and his prisoner duly responded to the suin- mons.

DRAWING aftern tract TO AN END. ‘THE JACKSON-HUNT TRIAL ALMOST CONCLUDED— FYURYHER PROCEEDINGS BEYORE JUDGE DALY YESTERDAY—NEW FACTS AND NEW WITNES' ‘The trial of the Jackson-Hunt suit, after a week's interruption, was resumed yesterday before Judge J. YT , in the Court of Common Pleas. Among the first witnesses examined were Nathaniel W. Jackson, @ son of the defendant; Mr. Samuel G, Courtney, her counsel, and Mrs, Jane Clark, who were brictly questioned relative to facts already fully published, Mr, William J, Yhomas, ® bookkeeper of Abram Polhemus, a grocer, was next examined. He brought with him to the witness chair a ponderous ledger, aud, after sighing softly, said that theaccount of Mrs. Hunt was kept at his store in 1873 and 1874 in the name of the plaintiff, who paid all the bills, In_ 1874 the account was made out in her name, but the plain- tiff continued to foot the bills, He admitted, how- ever, that other members of her family might have paid the bills to other clerks in the store, but he did not know of it, SHE “GAVE HIM A CHANCE.” ‘The next gentleman called upon was acertain Mr. | George Chaplain, who said he had known the de- fendant for mahy years and had often called upon her when she was a widow. The witness, although referred to his ancient acquaint- ance and the many incidents surrounding it with great apparent gusto. He said he had seen Mrs, Hunt im- bibe, and had, in fact, imbibed with her on one New Year's Day when he wss at her sister’s house. Sho became v boisterous, and laughed and sang and kissed about indiscriminately. He said he always thought the plaintiff and defendant were engaged. On his cross-cxamination he became inyolved in an | old reminiscence, which caused considerable laughter, It was « time when all hands had been drinking and the defendant and witness became engaged in a very pleasing and edifying conversation. “T thought she was a free and easy lady and I tried to kiss her,” said the witness. “Did you succeed ?” inquired Mr. Courtney. “No; ‘she wouldn't let me’ that time, but she gave me a chauce afterward,” was the repl: “Then she thought you were too said Mr. Courtney. ‘This interrogatory caused a little flutter of merri- ment throughout the room and the witness hid his confusion by joining in the laugh at his expense. The family physician, Dr. John Messinger, was then tand testified that when the defendant was roo and easy ?* ex sick he attended her; that Jackson was almost always close by her, and that the relations between them svemed to be very intimate. THE PLAINTIVE’S LAST APPEARANCE, ‘r, William O. Jackson was then called by Mr. Wilder, Mr, Courtney having closed his case for the defence, and was examined in detail in rebuttal. The defendant had testified that it was impossible that plaintiff should have paid her bills, as she had plenty of money of her own, and the drift of the questions put to the witness was to bring out the tact that his money was used to pay for the erection of buildings by defendant and for family expenses. The witness evinced great familiarity with the financial affairs of the present Mrs. Hunt, claiming that he had acted as her agent and confidential ad- viser until her ent husband came upon the scene. After recess his examination was further con- tinued. He said that from 1874 to 1876 he scarcely ever went out of the house without the defendant; he had only been drunk four times during that period and only three times in the house; he never got drunk spt when he had had words with her; he never went on aspree that he didn’t get over in three or four hours; at the time he went to Albany the de- tendant and Eva Schauffner went out riding with his carriage and horses, taking along with them a man named Stewart Fathom § hands came home drunk together, and Hunter brought in a bottle of Olid Tom yin, which was soon disposed of between them. The witness denied that the defendant Eva Andrew (now dead) had ever gone with them to Philadelphia, and offered to prove it by witnesses whom he could bring from that city. Mr. 8. Jackson, the defendant’s son, was also further examined after the plaintiff had retired, and said that he had heard his brother David say that things were different at home since Willie went away, and that it was all amade up plan between McGee, Hunt and his mother to get Willie’s money and then put him out of the house. : TOO LOUD YOR HER. Etta Walcott, a beautiful young lady, very fashion- ably attired, was the next witness in rebuttal. She was formerly a tenant of Mrs. Hunt, and on one oc- casion, she said, the latter came to the house aad acted in a very boisterous manner. “Speak up!” said counsel. “I can’t loud as she did,” said the witness, naively. She then went on to say that she had often secn Hunt watching the defendant’s house and Jackson watching Hunt, and that they both watched esch other, so that when one went out the other would go in. She stated further that David Jackson had also told her that he was sorry the defendant had married Hunt, as they all expected she would marry Willie. Mr. Wilder then briefly testified to a conversation he had with Eva Schautfner, after which the Court ad- journed until Tuesday morning. RIVERSIDE DRIVE. ENGINEER FRANKLIN'S INDIGNANT REPLY TO ‘THE CHARGES OY PARK COMMISSIONER LANE, Mr. Thomas Franklin, the superintending engineer of Riverside avenue, was met yesterday by a Henap reporter. He was highly indignant at the implied charges of fraud against him in Park Commissioner Lane's published letter to Comptroller Kelly. ‘There is absolutely not an atom of foundation for them,” he said, “It is agross outrage and will be righted without doubt in the very near future.” The follow- ing conversation ensued: “Was any portion of the pavement of the Riverside Drive been completed me has been completed, because it requires sov- eral rollings before it can be actually clared jinished, but considerable work, more than the casual observer would imagine, has been upon it.” “How is it that you have made areturn of 9,600 square yards uf the work is not finished 7” “This is only an approximate estimate of the value of the work actually performed. Other work which ix pt completed is estimated, and I know of no rea- son why this should not be, ‘The pavement has been partially finished, to the extent of about 50,000 square yards, on which the contractor has only received about £2,400, It is customary for engineers to esti- mate for pavement partly done as the work progresses. Of course it does not affect the final amount of to be paidior.” “Mr, Lane, in his letter, quotes his last refusal to audit the claim of Messrs, Decker & Quintard in the following words:—‘I refuse to audit the foregoing cstimate of Messrs. Decker & Quintard for $15,125 0 work » work has not been per- ance with the contract, and that the certificate of the engineer, Franklin, that it has been so performed is, incorrect.” What have you to say in reply to that charge? ‘dn reply w that I have to say that I examined the work carefully and know that it was properly done and certified accordingly.

CLOSE OF THE TLMPERANCE APOSTLES FIRST WEEK IN NEW YORK—SUCCESS OF THE GOOD WORK— E LADIES ORGANIZED AND ENLISTED IN THE CAUSE. Francis Murphy, the temperance orator and worker, concluded his first week's labor in this city last night with a meeting which, in point of attendance, of en- thusiasm and of results inthe way of signatures to the pledge, was more important than any that pre- ceded it. The Seventh Street Methodist Church was searcely capacious enough to ac- commodate the immense crowd, ‘hero were many ladies in the gathering, a large proportion of sober, well dressed men and an un- usually large number of the class who most need the help of the revivalist—hard drinkers of intoxicating liquors. It would seem that the movement which throughout the week has been slowly gaining favor and strength has now momentum enough to make it- self felt outside of the comparatively little gatherings in the little east side church. Mr, Murphy and the co-operate with and assist him are confident that in the course of the ensuing week at least a dozen meetings will be opened and continued daily in ditfer- ent parts of the city. About three thousand persons have already signed the pledge, and many of them are now inducing friends and acquaintances to imitate their example. The ladies’ meeting, held yenterday afternoon, introduces another and powerful element into the conflict, Mr. Murphy made to the good wo- men one of his characteristic addresses, He described the fascination of drinking alcoholic beverages; com- pared those being ruined by it to wounded soldiers, and asserted that it was necessary to have an ambu- lance train to follow und rescue the great army of in- briates. ‘Lhisduty devolved upon women—women who had scraped lint and nursed the wounded in the late war, MURPHY'S PHILOSOPHY, “If thia cause is worth anything, if it will do any good, you will support it; if it will not, we don’t ‘want it, and the quicker I get out of the city the bet- He implored the women to have faith in the possibility ot saving even the lowest drunkard, de- seribed the discouragement he himself experienced when he found those who were trying to rescue him from alcohol had no confidence in him, explained his philosophy to consist in feeding a man when he was hungry without asking questions, and ended by bringing tears to the eyes of his hearers with the story of a poor, hungry drunkard of Pitts- burg, who was discovered pocketing for his little children the lunch given him at the church where the meetings were held, After some sweet songs, as well as a few good words trom Mrs. Wilson, the women organized a meeting themselves, with Mrs. Chaun- cey Shaffer in the chair, and’ appointed a com- mittee from thelr midst to take hold of the work, hire a room and make arrangements feeding the hungry. ‘These ladies were from a8 many different denominations as possible, $o as to avoid even the appearance of sec- tarianism in the work. It was made up of Miss Gritth, of the Presbyterian Church; Mra. Bates, of Mrs. Lawson, of Dr. Hepworth’s; Mrs. 00 West ‘Twenty-fourth street; Mrs. An- drews, No. 44 West Twenty-eighth street, Miss Aunie Allen ‘and Mas. Messerple, who, when asked “What Church?” responded “Church of the world.” “That's my chureh,” exclaimed Murphy heartily. A ludy from Brooklyn, declined to serve. “Oh help us!” said Murphy. ‘We must save Brooklyn wit the rest of the world; it’s true as you live.” ‘The ladies had already looked at apartments in Sixth street, aud they decided to hire them for their soup kitchen. At the morning aueesiog @ man under the influence of liquor came to the rail, fell upon Murphy's neck, und, bursting into tears, signed the pledge. ‘This was only one of many interesting incidents, At the meeting in the evening, however, the enthusiasm was greatest. ‘I have been drunk three years, pray for me!” cried an unfortunate fellow, who was certainly very drunk at the moment. The singing by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson of the “Sweet By and By” and “As My Days My Strength Shall Be,” moved another to spring to his fect and interrupt the speaker by ex- claiming, “Pray for me, for I'm drank now !”" There ‘was some laughter, and Murphy, after quicting the disturbers and telling them to wait a little, expressed his hope that the portion of the audience which was not drunk would think of the sad side of anything ludicrous which might occur and not make any show of merriment. AN APPEAL TO MODERATE DRINKERS. He went on, in his easy, conversational way, to say that many doubters thought there would be no mect- ing on Saturday night, but he thought it was just the night for a meeting, 60 that a man who had received his week’s wages and was apt to step into a saloon would have a chance to step into a temperance meet- ing. He exhorted all good men to sign the pledge for the sake of others. ¢ Christian man, he said, who sipped ram was more pernicious because of his ex- ample than ascore of drunkards who'staggered in the streets, Mr. N. L. Ives, the telegraph superintendent of the Senate Chamber at ‘Washington, told how hard a drinker he hud been, and how on the 22d of February last rd od met himselfand a drunken companion in Wi n and gave them blank cards, Mr. Ives’ companion signed one at the time and kept the other un’ few days ago, when he to the speker and induced hitm to sign it. ‘The announcement that services would be held to- day in the same place at three o'clock, and at half-past seven in the evening was received with cheers, and at the close of the meeting the rail was besteged by those anxious to sign the pledge. “AUNT POLLYS” CENTENNIAL, Mrs. Polly Fancher, familiarly known in the town of Lewisboro, Westchester county, as “Aunt Polly,” celebrated her one hundredth birthday at tho resi- dence of her son, Mr. Charles Fancher, in South Salem, afew days ago. There were about seventy- five persons present. The interior of the house was tastefully decorated on the occasion. Over the door, as the guests entered, was the word ‘‘Wel- eg renee in evergreens, and anchors, the walls. also “*1778—1878" hung number of presents were made. and in the ee old lady was ser- enaded by the village band. ere were five genera- tions present at the gathering. She was in the South Salem Presbyterian Church February 8, 1798, to Jared Fancher, with whom she lived fitt nine years. Her children, their wives and husbands number twenty-three; her grandchildren, their wives and husbands seventy-one, her great grandchildren, their wives and husbands, sixty-four; Pe grandchildren, eighteen, making # total of 166, OLDER THAN THE NATION. Mrs. Mary Prado-Sanchez, a Spanish lady, died on ‘Wednesday morning last at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Mesea, No. 83 Middagh street, Brook- lyn, at the remarkable age of 110 years, 5 months and 16 days. The deceased was the thirticth child, having had fifteen sisters and fourteen brothers, and was born in Malaga, Spain. Mrs. Prado-Sanchez was the mother of ten children. After the death of her liusband she emigrated to this country, fourteen years ago, with @ son. She settled in Williama- burg, but afterward went to reside with her daughter in Btooklyn. The deceased was totally blind at — the ot ninety years, but recovered second sight when she was ninety-seven years of age. She retained all hor faculties until she reached her one handredth year, when she gradually began to failin health. Mrs, Prado-Sanchez remained very active, however, until within a few days ot her deuth, and ‘only afew weeks since hemmed a hand- korehiet for her daughter. ‘The deceased, just pre: vious to her death, was attended by Rev. Father Keo- gan, of the Church of the Assumption, who adiminis- tered spiritual consolation. The funeral will take place from her late residence, at three o'clock to-day, and the remains will be interred in the Cemetery of the Holy Cross at Flatbush, UNCLE SAM'S TREASURE VAULT. For several months past mechanics have been busily engaged at the Sub-Treasury building, corner of Wall and Nassau streets, in the constraction of » vanlt which, for peculiarity, is not surpassed any- where. The passage of the Silver bill by Congress last spring, and the immense influx of this kind of coin into the Treasury Department, caused consider- able embarrassment to the Secretary of the Treasury. It was finally determined to build an epartment of this city which would he first instalment of the yenter- be safe against burglars. precious metal was placed in this new vault mounting to $200,000 in silver dollars. ‘on deposit in the United States Treasury of thie city about $59,000,000 in currency and about 150,000,000 in coin, ‘The major es the latter \d, All this will find @ resting place in the new wen” the visitor, after passing throngh the rota in the Sub-Treasury, is led down @ flight of stone steps until a low hall with an arched roof and walls of stone are reached, It, o reach this ‘The vault is situated on the west end of the edifice and directly under the coin room. It is surrounded a“ granite wall seven fect in thickness, with an inner wall, roof and floor of iron and steel, between two and three feet thick. There are two heavy iron doors, each having two combination locks attached. The onter door is provided with a chro- vometer lock, which was set yesterday, to be at nine o'clock in the morning and closed at half-past four o'clock in the afternoon. During the hours be- tween the above mentioned periods no one can open this entrance, even if in possession of the combina- tion, which at this establishment is not given to the janitor. 2 ‘The second door, upon which the two combination locks ary attached, on being opened discloses the magnitude of the huge cavern.

HEATING THE CARS ON THE M&TROPOLITAN ELEVATED RALLWAY—THE THIRD AVENUE ROAD ALMOST COMPLETED TO THE HARLEM RIVER—OVERCROWDED CARS. ‘The arrangements made by the Metropolitan Ele- vated Railway for heating their cars on cold winter days are complete. Some experimental trains have been run, and much satisfaction was expressed at the uniform, pleasant heat which was radiated from the pipes by means of the scientific process employed, and which has already been described in the Henavp. Mr. José F, Navarro said yesterday that he believed the public would be fully satisficd with the arrange- ments made, and that no reasonable cause for complaint would exist as to the cars not being sufficiently warm or comfortable. The company have also adopted a plan by which the stairs and platforms will be kept clear of snow and icc, so that passengers shall be in no danger of slipping. It is expected that during the heavy snow-bonnd winter weather the passenger traflic will rise from an average of over fifty thousand aday (which it is now) to over sixty thousand, for when the horse cars ure blocked many people who still patronize them will necessarily be compelled to resort to the elevated road. The new engines which have been put on are so powerful that they can draw with the utmost ease trains of five cars. One of them the other day drew such a train bearing an excursion of St. Peter’s School numbering ut seven hundred and fif.y people. LESS AND LESS NOISE. While the experiments made with reference to dead- ening the noise are promising decided success, it is conceded that owing to the general closing of doors and windows, and also to the fact that people are be- coming more and more used to it, this annoyance is being felt far less by the residents of Sixth avenue than it was before, and that this source of complaint is diminishing every day, As the rails have been worn smoother and the pufling of steam has been regulated and vastly decreased, the noise is in itself far leas than it was, aud the change has naturally aroused much satisfaction. It is also generally re- marked that the engineers are Bow much more carc- ful about turning the curves slowly, and that, yener- ally speaking, greater solicitude is manifested on the part of the employés to avoid any accidents. Yester- duy it was astonishing to see the immense numbers of elegantly dressed ladies and children who rode i the afternoon, and stepped on and off the cars as lightly and us trippingly as it they bad entered or Samced toms tate careeacen, ‘THE SECOND AVENUE ROAD. It is conceded on all sides that the Third avenue elevated road utterly fails to meet the requirements of the east side travel, and this is so patent that during the five cent hours thousands, after waiting five or ten minutes for a train on which there might be some spure room, have to descend again and resort to the street cars, and. this notwithstanding the greater frequency of trains during these hours. An elevated road on Second avenue would materially relieve the ter- tific overcrowding on the Third avenue line, and would thereby render rapid transit on the Third ave- nue also more sute as well as more comfortable. It is estimated that one-third of the passengers riding on the Third avenue road live nearer the second than the ‘Third avenue, aud it is, therefore, easy to imagine how great a boon the Second aventie road would be to a large proportion of the east side public. ‘THE THIRD AVENUE ROAD. The entire Third avenue road from the South ferry to the Harlem River is now complete, with the excep- tion of a short gap between Ninetieth and 100th streets, and the stations, very few of which are yet finished even on the lower portion of the railway which is already in operation. The progress on the Chatham street branch is excessively slow. Most of the littie work which is done on this branch is per- formed at night.

A station is to be built at Twenty-eighti street, thus lengthening the running time a minute more, While this may gratify the few for whose special convenience thix station is put up, it is generally conceded that it in- terferes with the interests of the public at large and obstructs true rapid transit to the Harlem River, JERSEY AND GUERNSEY CATTLE. ‘The steamship Sorento left Southampton on the 6th inst. for Boston, which port she will red@h in the carly part of the comiug week. ‘The Sorento has on board twenty-nine pure bred cows and heifers from the Channel island breeds. ‘These beautiful and valu- able animals will be sold at auction on the 22d inst. at Boston. It is not too much to say that no herd is complete without some of these breeds, as their pro- uction of butter excels all other kinds. The lot were selected by E. P. Parsons Fowler, of Jersey and Southampton for forty years. Cy MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, “ENGAGED. SouNn—ZUCKERMANN.—HENRX 8. SOHN to Rosie ZuCKERMANN, both of this city. No cards, MARRIED.

Money on Call Was Easy at 83 a 4 Per Cent. a WaLt SrRreEt, } Sarurpay, Nov. 16—6 P. M. The same irregularity which was the salient feature of yesterday's market continued to-day. Some stocks, during the day's business, gained a fraction, some lost a fraction and the rest did ueither one thing nor the other, The bulk of transactions was confined te Western Union, Lake Shore and Delaware and Lacka wanna, The telegraph property proved to be the most excitable stock upou the list, ranging, as it did, from 93 to 954. and recovering in final dealings to 97, In spite of the renewed promises of a fresh issue of stock the price declined one per cent, While some of the directors are desirous of dressing the stock up | in the frills and tucks of a scrip dividend others are not. The melon is ready to be cut, but from to-day’s appearances somebody has mislaid the knife. While it is being hunted for the stock is liable to all sorts of vagaries, and may sell at par or it may sell at 99. Speculation in Delaware and Lackawanna shares was unusually brisk. The bow window, people are credited with having been free sellers, The impulse to do so may possibly be ascribed to the fact that the Pennsylvania Coal Com- pany sold a lot of refuse coal which had accumulated during the year at prices leas than schedule rates. Without waiting for facts our bow window friends rose like a trout at a fly, ard have been hooked. It ia fair to presume eo, at least, for their sales were mada between 51 and 50%, and the closing price was 5113. It is more than probable, howtver, that the value of coal stock wus affected by the meetings held in that influence to-day. The Board of Control, convened at Philalelphie this morning, agreed to make the entire quota of coal production for the year equal to 17,000,000 tons, allowing the several interests to ship their quota during Novem- ber and December, as may suit their requirements. ‘This would make the allotment for December up to 2,000,000 tons, as against 1,800,000 for last month. An informal meeting of the various coal interests was also held at Philadelphia to-day. The purpose was to exe press some opinion as to what should be done re- garding a continuance of the combination for the ensuing year. The Lehigh Valley Company and other minor interests failing to appear no definite expres- sion of opinion was had, though it was advised that the present arrangement should be continued until the Ist of April next, un- less some new plan should be adopted in the interim. Among the railroads the Nortwesterns were particularly strong. For the first two weeks in November an increase of $46,300 is reported in earn- ings over the same time last year, and the friends of the property are confident that a dividend is assured of at least 3}; per cent upon the preferred and from 2 to 3 upon the common stock, As they say of cot+ ton, final quotations were from fair to middling. They were certainly no worse, and, in most cases, they were better than the lowest of the dey. This is about the best thatcan be said of the termination of @ market which had been a broker's one the day through and ended as it had begun. ‘The opening, highest, lowest and closing prices of stocks and gold at the New York Stock Exchange to day were as follows:— Lowest, a7 fore Na00% a 455 = ba Western Union. 98 953, 7 Pacitic Mail.. pL Sd 15% Bh y bsg New York Cen. and H. — _ _ bias Lake Shore. 688% THC: Rock Island.
