» THE WEEK IN WALL STREET Tie Remarkable Raid on Villand Stoks and the Probable Conse- (aences. The Wheat Prospect Favorable for an Early Advance in Prices. The Western Union and Beanett's (. | ble—The Cotton Crop, Special Dispatch to The Bee New Yourk, September 30.—Wall street continues to indulge in the same old game. A drop of some ten points is followed by a rally for five or six, then comes another big drop and another potty | rally. Themovement, however, is con- centrated almost exclusively in the Vil lard stocks. Tisy form daily the great bulk of the transactions. All the favor- ites of former days remainalmost lifeless. For every five points up or down in the Villard stocks, the Lake Shore, the New York Central, the Union Pacific and similar specialtios do not move more than one or two points Even such es- sentially gambling stocks as the Denver and Louisville & Nashville donot atttmpt to keep in line with the NEW WALL STREET FAVORITES, And what is more, the hold which the Northern Pacifics have taken upon the market is 80 strong that the most sincere and old-fashioned bulls declare now that a *‘permanent advance in the market has become impossible until this a-+n N, P.and O. T. business is settled,” and how if it to be settled when Presi- dent Villard says that the company has no floating debt. Vice-President Oaks says that it has a debt of $7,900,000, and persons quite intimate with the concern estimate the debt at something over $15,000,000. The only way for the un- fortunate stockholders to arrive at the truth is to begin a judicial investigation into the condition of both the N. P. and 0. T. treasuries, and that seems to be the step about' to be taken by somo of thém. If they are men of courage and determination they cannot help arriving at the true condition of affairs, and that is all that is wanted to bring these stocks to their legitimate level and to restore peace and prosperity in the Trinity church and parish. LAST WEEK'S RALLY was attributed to some mysterisus inter- views between Gould and Villard, but thg odds are ten to one that these inter- vieiis, even if they have taken place, did novin any way affect the attitude of Gould towards the Northern Pacific stocks. A very shrewd man who knows Golld well andseldom speculates himself, said the other day: ‘I would make a smull bet and _give odds, too, that if Gou --er did anything in Villard PR _ym‘}.;'op nneaze his ) vies.

Gaald’s natural impulse would be to get square with Mills, and he has here a ir chance to do so. There is very an humility about J. Gi. OF THE COURT of appeals in the Hatch-Williams suit against the Western Union 1s to be given this week, As usual, there are numberless stories afloat about it, and the wiseacres of the Stock Exchange have already settled the whole matter to their own satisfaction. It is generally be- lieved that the decision will be adverse to the company, and some rumor mon- gers go so far as to give reasons for as- seriing such a fact. They say t!mt the judge to whom the work of writing out the decision of the court has been assign- ed, is well-known to hold opinions hos- tile to the company on the points of law involved and that consequently the de- cision is sure to be adverse. Another story is that Messes. ch and Williams have come to an smicable agreement with the company, ard that when the case is called there will be no question at issue to decide. There is one curious side | light in this effair. Jay Gould has been s0 prominent, in the management of the Western Union, and was so enthusiastic in paying out the dividends which wero enjoined by the courts that people have generally forgotten that he had nothing to do with the issuing of the $15,000,000 stock. Mr. Vanderbilt was at that time | the leading spirit of the concern and he will be ene of the persons to be sued by tho company should the courts duclaro the isssue illegal. *“I guess,” said Mr ould, in his dry way, some months a0, o & reporier, “Mr. Vanderbilt will m]« able to any judgment obtained against hm"‘ It would be a curious outeome «f the whole aflair if Mr. Van- derbilt had to reimburse Mr. Gould for | the dividends the latter has paid. HENNETT'S CABLE SCHEME News comes from Europe that James | Gordon Bennett is once more hard at work at dis cable.scheme, and that he is sune as ever about ¢ ying it out, MoRorvin, Gireen is ot present the most | intcresting man to talk to about the fu- ture of telegraphy and cables, both in this country and Europe, but he is terri bly afraid of the press, and can never h made to talk if he suspects anything of what he says wmay possibly be used for publication THE WHEAT MARKET, The fubure of the wheat market is most puzling beyond all peradventure. Thé crop in England and throughout Europe, with the exception of Spain and Portugal, is bad. A well known authori- ty estinutes the demand from Eurnyu fo wheat at over 300,000,000 bushels, of which about 120,000,000 must come from /lho United States.

The Fight Between the Liquor and Temperance Elements. Special Dispatch to Thr Bkg. CLevELAND, September 50.—Never in the history of Ohio has there been sucha fierce war waged between the temperance and liquor elements as at present. Many thousands of dollars have been spent by both sides. The state headquarters of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union are located in this city. Tons of printed matter, printed in fourlanguages, are sent from here allover the state. The women will work personally at the polls, and 5,000 silk badges will be worn on election day by workers for the second amendment. ~ Men with temperance baaners will parade every town in the State. Mrs, Woodbridge, who is at the head of the temperance movement, said to-day: “We do not work with any po- litical party, not even the prohibitionists, What we want is to carry the second amendment. Ladies will work at the polls on election day from morn night for total prohibition, We are con- fident of victory.” On the other hand, the Liquor League is working hard to defeat the temperance movement and millions of circulars are being issued. One of these circulars issued to-day says: “‘Citizens of Ohio, by voting for the sec- ond amendmend you commit a crime agamnst yourselves and your fellow be- ings.” — - GENERA L i OREIGN NEWS, HOOTING KING ALFONSO. LoNpoN, September29.—The Exchange Telegraph company’s Paris special says: President Grevy, accompanied by his cabinet ministers, met King Alfonso at the railroad station. The crowd hooted and hissed the King upon his arrival, and shouted “Down with the Uhlan King.” The soldiers and police had it trouble rder. The people were very the French troops. The houses and bal- conies along the route traversed by the King of Spain were thronged with people. As soon as the King appeared at the staion the crowd made so great a clamor that the Spanish national anthem, which was being played by the band, was al- most_inaudible. The clamor continued all along the route which the cortege passed, and insulting cries directed at the King were continually raised. THE IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE CONVENTION, | which met in the town hall of Leeds, sat with closed d It is understood that Hon, Thomas Power O'Connor presided over the deliberations, and was heartily greeted by the delegates upon taking the chair. Parnell, Biggar and O'Kelley were present and participated in the proceed- ings.

A heated discussion took | place upon the demand of delegates from Lonon that there should be a revision of the rules for the election of th exeoutive committee. They asked for o representation.

Receipts have not varied much from §1,000,000 a day, being 17,680,000 from £10,173,000 from internal revenue, and $2,140,000 from miscellaneous sour cs, total of $30,142,000. The debt red for the month will not var; £€15,000,000. This sum, with the reduc- tion for July and August, which aggre- gated $£14,500,000, will just about corer the 121st call which embraced the last of the 8} per ceuts, amounting to §30,- 000,000. With this state of affairs the pending call for §15,000,000 of the 3s will have to be taken ¢ of by tho sur- plus for October and November. There will probabiy be enough for this purpose, although the balance for these twe months canmot be fe t very well, on account the uncertainty as to the amount which will be absorbed by Colonel Dudley. He estimates the demands of his oftice for Octobar will be §6,000,000, but believes he will want more in November. He will make no estimates, however, and should he turn out an unusually large amount of work the debt reduction for November cannot be expected to bo large.

A Desperate and Bloody Baltle for Booty on a Railway Train. The Messenger's Plucky Fight Saves the Bullion at the Cost of Two Lives. The Engineer Killed and the Ficeman Mortally Wounded—The Rob- bers Captured., Dovar Crry, Kan., September 80, At alate hour last night three men named Looney, Chambers and Dean were cap- tured and proved to bo the attempted train robbers, They were brought to Dodge UL? by spocial train under a heavy guard and have been placed in jail, but the excitoment hero 18 so intense that the men will probably be removed to some other point during the night, In tho express safo at the time of the at- tempted robbery there was botween 240,000 and £50,000, and but for the fight made by Patforson the robbors would probably have made a big haul as beforo ~ he drove the man from from his car the men in the engine had things their own way. The plan of the robbers was that whilo two men cap- tured the engine and made the engineer run the train, the third man was to kill tho messenger and then rifle the safe while the train was in motion, and then all three were to escapo at some conveni ent place betweon Coolidge and Dodge City. The belated train reached Kansas City last night, and Patterson, the press messenger, makes the following startling statement “You are - of course. aware that the raid took plee at Coolidge station, on the line of the Atchisoa, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, about ten miles east of the Colorad tate line, between 2 and 3 o'elo this morning.

After lyme a fow minutes 1 dropped into a doso. I was lying en my back with my arms folded over my breast. Both of the doors on the car next to the platform wero open, Baggagoman Johnson being weated in tho back side of the door looking out on the platform.

The bullet went over my head, a I could feel the fire buraing my face, The man then fired a shot out of the doorway at the conductor, fired 1 realized that a train robbery was going on, and_with the hope of making the robber believe that he had killed me, 1 unclasped my hands, which were folded over my bosom, and allewed them to fall at my side. My right hand fell on the muzzle of my revolver, and realizin s that it would never do to allow the robber to see that I was about to defend myself, 1 worked my hand slowly into a position until I had hold of my pistol with my ht hand on the trigger. The robber did | not notice this because it was quite dark | in the part of the car where Tlay, Intho| meantime the man was working his way toward the rear of the car, evidently sup- posing he had finished ono and intended to kil the baggeman or any one elso who got in his way. As soon as I got hold of | my pistol | sprang into position and fired | at the robl and jumped up, then walked toward the man. Ho raised his revolver as if to shoot again, but it went off prematurely, the ball striking the roof of the car. When I shot at him, part of his body was behind the stove. 1 aimed at his abdomen and 1 believe that my bullet took effect. About this time I saw another man who proved tobe ‘Hal," one of the first trying to climb in at the side door, No sooner had 1 fired than he disappeared, and the man 1 shot jumped out on the platform from therear side door. That was the lust 1 saw of the robbers, I caleulated that they would come up to the front side door, and soi ing some freight, I barricaded the doors, Lens than half a minute after the robbors left my car I heard somo shots on the en gine, ~Three wero fired in half as many minutes, I stood at the front side door of my car, revolver in hand, Just then Conductor Greeley camo up. “‘Have the; el I asked, I think 80," he said, “but I believe the engine and fireman are hurt.” Gomg forw and returning to me he said, “They are both killed. The engineer is shot through the heart and the fireman through the neck.” I then jumped out onthe plat form and saw the engineer and fireman lying on the platform alongsi the en gine. The fireman was still conscious and was taken into the hotel where | talked with him a few minutes. The body of the dead engineer was put aboard the train and taken to Dodge City, B fore the train left I went nto the tele graph office and sent a telegram to Mr, Hatch, After considerablo delay wo got a new engineer and fireman at Coolidgo and started again on our journey, one hour and forty minutes late.

Sherwin, the millionaire owner of one o the largest eattle ranches in New Moxi- o, was arrested hero Thursday on a requisition from New York, but the ar rest was kept secret, when he came be- fore the Circuit Court on a writ of habeas unll"\un, alleging that he was detained without authority of law and for a sup posed criminal matter, the uature of which he did not know and of which the polico authorities refused to inform him, On this ho was released, but vearrested by Pinkerton. He again applied for a writ _of habeas corpus, which is still pending. The facts, as nearly as can be learned here, seem to be as follows: In 1878, Sherwin, then a banker in Albany, refused to testify against Charles Phelps, cashier in the State Treasury Depart- ment. Phelps was afterward convicted of larceny, forgery and grand larceny, and sentenc. i to threo terms of five yearo ench in the Albany penitentinry. = For refusal to testify six indictments wern subsequently found against Sherwin fos contempt of court. The prosecutior failed at the time and Sherwin entered the stock business in New Mexico. Now ovidence was discoverod, and in 1882, when on a visit enst, he was arrested gave bonds. Since then his bondsmen bacame alarmed and put detectivos on his track.

The Gyrations of the Douglas Delegation for Lake Put On for a Blind. Railrond Managers Rem the Desk, While Their Trusted Work vention, at Tools the Con- Correspondonce of Tuw b Lixcors, September 80.--The dense politteal fog that has enveloped the dome- less capitol for sevoral days has at last cleared away. The most simple among simpletons who was a spectator at the late “‘hand to hand"” ntest over the Supreme, Judgeship has besome con- vincogythat it was merely a sham battle, The corporations retired from politics last wintor after the disgraceful scenes at sthe close of the legislature which came in pledged to regulate the railroads and wont out without passing a single bill to relieve the people from eorporate exactions and railroad tax shirk- ing. The official organ of the railroads in this city, The Journal, congratulates the Republicans on the fact that the rail- roads are out of politics. This may rofer to the conspicuous absence of Marquotte an Thurston from the convention, but Spoaker Humphrey, the capper of cap- , was there, ns large as lifo, and twice as natural, and Church Howe, who was for Tilden and Hendricks in 1876, and is on record as chairman of the railroad committee against all railroad logislation, was made president of the convention al- most by acclamation, From & convention composed as that was,solargely of monopoly lawy ers.railroad cditors and strikers, Thurston, Marquotte and Kimball could well be spared with- out serionsly impairing the interests of the monopolists, “Wa played it rather fine,” remarked Tom Kennard in a confidential way. “‘Reeso was on the slate from the begin- ning, and we could have nominated him on the first ballot like a charm, bu we could not afford to offend some of our frionds who supported other candidates. It might havo damaged Reese if it had been known from the start that nobody else had a show.” This was literally true. The slate was fixed for Reese at Omaha more than two months ago, and the girations of the Douglas delegatiom in favor of Lake were all a sham, Hascall and Pat. Hawes played their parts admirably, as usual. ~Neither of ez wonld s ofor Tadioo e had » fl' t of a show, and they know that ake, Warren and Hamer had as much show against Reeso as a sucker would have playing against a faro bank, The dice were ull londed from the beginning. Long before Savage was nominated the compaet was made between the railroad politicinus and cortain leaders who run the Republican minchine, to give Reese the nomination for the Supreme bench. Chiof among the parties to this compact wore Congressman Weaver and Col- lector Post. Reese was liable to be in the way of Weaver next spring as a candidate for Congress in the First dis- triot, and it was wanifestly to Weaver's interest toget him out of the wayand at the same time puthim where he could do him somo good three years hence when Van Wyek's term is out. Post was anxious to get Reese out of the way of his broth- ery who is o candidate for District Judge, a place which Recse had expected to fill himsolf, as ustepping stone for a hig her position. Post also has aspirations, Con- gressional and Senatorial, which he ex- pects to farther through Reese. Last yeur Reese was beaten out of the dolega- tion from his county by the Steen Dorsey fuction. To muke things doubly sure for Recse, Collector Post ap- pointed John Steon as his deputy, and m_conjunction with Weaver, they had things st 8o that Reese could have a walkaway at the start if he wanted to, Porsonally, Mr. Reeto is clover and genial, but lawyers here who have never sceratched the republican ticket are open- ][y in revolt inst making a Suprome Judge of a man who has never heen a justice of the peace, and whose practice has been chiefly as & prosecuting attor- ney.

Is it a fact that Mr. Colby will be nominated for District Judge?” Mr. Griggs—*Well, yes; it looks like it. - Yes, I guess he's got us—1 guess he | will,” Old Republican—**Well, if he is elect- ed, isn't there danger thut'he may have those mayor's deeds confirmed, and steal the town site of Beatrice, after all?” Mr. Griggs—*'Oh, never mind about that. Tl bo on the Supreme bench, and if hie does that, I'll reverse it."” Griggs will not sit on the Supreme bench, and possibly Mr. Colby will not warni the seat of Judge Davidson, AnGus, —— Two new papers are anneunced in Cedar Tho Horald and Auger, the latter a o.
