An Interesting Rev Doings “fn and Out Wall Street.” Special dispatch to Tk Beg. New York, October 21.-~The Sun's review of Wall strect says: Martial law prevailed in the stock exchange during The every delinquent was nercilessly exe- cuted inthe trap themselves, asked the stock | exchange authorities to execute sentenco on them on tho spot: Almost all the purchases “‘under the rule” were made at the request of the losers, who preferred taking their punishment in the open market to going to ask for mercy of the victors. The trouble, however, is there is but hittle chance for the victors to fol- low up their advantage, and that the squeezes of the week are likely to result | in a furtherdemoralization of allbusiness, Of course, the past week. sentence against | TIE CENTRAL POINTS OF INTEREST were the squeezes in the New Jerscy Central and Northern Pacific preferred. No one seems to know exactly what hap- pened. There was a different story on every one's lips. According to one ver- sion the officers of the Northern Paafic and the members of the syndicate who are to take up the now loan were buying up all the stock offered, 50 as to have a two-thirds vote on the day of the mee i Another version was that the bona- s preferred stockholders were deter- mined to have more than one-third ef the stock 0 as to prevent any loans tak- ing preference of the stock. DBesides these two parties thero was the usual contingent who claimed to see Jay Gould's finger in the pie. Be it as it may, the scenes of Saturday afternoon were almost unprecedented. Even the ofticers of the stock exchange seem to have LOST THEIR HEADS, and it is said that they either bought in too much or too little “under the rule.” One broker, it is said, notified the ex- change to buy in a large number of shares for him, but. his order had not reached the chairman when the gavel fell. An- sther broker borrowed the stock “flat” in Philadelphia and paid about an express locomotive to bring it here, where he lent it at 4 per cent for the day’s use. The hairbreadth escapes which many had to relate were marvellous and one sad episode which befell a well known favorite in society is worth record- ing. Tne gentleman alluded to depends for his livelihood upon the excellenco of his organs of smell and taste; 1 fact he is one of the best tasters of tea in New York. Some time ago he got a bad cold, which affected the ‘‘tear duct,” or smell canal, which carries off the superflu- ous water from the eye. This INJURD HIS TASTE AND SMELL, and worse than that, the eye was con- stantly overflowing pearly drops that rolled down his cheek. At first his friends thought he either had something on his conscience or else he had been crossed in love, but they have since learned the truth. On Friday afternoon, while short of Northern Pacific, he met a well known physician who was inter- ested in stocks, and asked hisadvice both about his eye and his stock. **I am not afraid of being short of N. P., although the prices are likely to fluctuate,” the physician said, “*As to your eye, it 1 nothing. Just paint the bridge of your nose with iodine before going to bed this evening and then wash it off with a little aleohol in the morning and you will be all right.” The tea taster took the advice and, before goiny to bed, painted his nose, which is of the pure Kentucky Grecian type. Anxious to make the thing sure, he gave his nose a a heavy coat of paint. When the first application had dried he applied a second and so on for three or four times. He went to bed and dreamed of how much more +weetly he would look upon the girls when the tears were not constantly welling up in his eye. Up early in the morning he rushed to the looking glass only to find that the bridge and upper part of his nose were of a rich mahogany brown color. $WE WILL 8OON FIX THAT,” said he, with a chuckle, as he drew the cork of the bottle of alcohol and began to rub his probosis, but to his horror the aleohol had not the desired effect, In- stead of removing thecoating, the aleohol only asted us n varnish and gave a bril- lisnt polish to the unfortu- nate feature. Meanwhile, North em Pacific went up steadily and the unfortunate tea taster was dis- tracted between fears of financial ruin and of appearing in public with_his dam- aged countenance. Before he could make up his mind what to do, his loss on tho stocks was almost fifteen points, and | he is now a ferocious bear upon all doc- tors and chemists, It is only of the comparatively trifling losses of the “small sear speculators that the public will ever hear. Tho private settlements of the big bears will never become known, They must have amounted to huunreds of thousands of dollars in these two cornered stocks, but everything suggests the idea that the leading bears are strong enough only to stand these lowes, but to retaliate much quicker than the bulls expect. A PROMINENT COAL MAN and a director in one of the coal railroads speaks in the following way of the condi- tien of the coal trade in general and of the Delaware & Lackawanna company in particular: *The compauy used to pay & 10 per cent dividend which it suspended paying in July, 1876, The next year the company showed a loss of nearly a million of dollars. In October, 1880, it managed to resume the = payment of dividends, but only at the rate of 1} per cent quarterly. Meanwhile the stock fell from 123 to 31, In the same period the Jersey Central declined from 120 to 6 and the Delaware and Hudson sold as low as $256 a share. The coal companies are in no better con- dition now than they were at that time w of the \\'N‘k‘fl} | of the fixed cha | dition of the mar in fact many of the bears, caught |1 ume of all branches of trade. It is a curious fact that the coal trade is always the last to feal the effect of a general de- pression, but when it does feel it, IT FEELS 1T KEENLY, The panic of 187 coal trade. As late carnings of the D. L. & W. footed up over 2,700,000, It was only in 1876 that the shock was felt, the gross earn ings falling to £1,700,000 and to 1,000, 000 the next year. The same thn will probably repeat itself now Tho general depression in all kinds of husiness for the last twoyears has not yet been felt in the coal trade, but when | comes to be felt wo may tion of the years 18 and 1876, he Deleware, Lackawanua & Western has | committed a ent mistake in sad- |dling itself with an extra fixed cha of €1,220,000 a year for the new Buffalo extension. Even under the most favorable stances this new line will barely be able to earn its running expenses, not to speak The dey ket materially affected most severely the young and not yet com- pleted onterprises. Prominent among them is THE CANADIAN PACIFIC, flected the the gross it have a repot which has obtained immense priviloges from the Government, and passes regu cent on its stock and is selling a share. The last drop from £50 to 850 can be accounted for by the onerally demoralized condition of finan cial affairs in Canada, but in any case &0 ashare is cheap price for n b per cent stock and especially if wo keep in view the price of the Southern Pacific stock, whizh don’t pay any dividends and are not likely to pay any for years to come. The two roads are natural com- petitors, and the dian concern has certamly a better backing in the Govern- ment of Britain than the Northern has in the slip- pery members of the famous blind pool. Asto a Wall street report that the Canadian Pacific was to issue some bonds to complete the road, President Stephens and several directors of the company now in the city, say that noth- ing of the kind has ever been projeeted by the company. The treasurer has now on hand all the cash necessary for building purposes and the Gov- ernment subsidy besides. The man- agers of the Pacific mail compony have succeeded in altering their contract with the Occidental & Oriental steamship company. By thenewschedulethe Pacific Mail will have two-thirds instead of half the Pacific ocean business. The direc- tors sy that this change is another step toward paying dividends on the Pacifle Mail stock next spring.” THE IVORY PUSHERS. Tie Coming Match for the Champion- ship Between Scxton and Slosson. The Sporting Fraternity Back- ing Their Favorites at Even Figures. Pen Pictures of the Contestants and t! e Contests They Have Taken Part Correspondence of Tur BEg Curcaco, October 20 —The coming for the cushion carom championship of the world and §1,000, to be contested on the 24th instant by William Sexton end Goorge F. Slosson, is awaited by the sporting fraternity with a good deal of interest, and it is expected that a large amount of money will change hands on the result. Both Sexton and Slosson are in the city practicing preparatory to the match game. The championship of the world in the cushion carom game is at present held by Sexton, having been for- feited by Daly. who won it in New York last May. In this game Sexton ranked sixth, being beaten by Daly, Wallace, Schaefer, Vignaux and Dion. That Sex- ton should have ranked so low at a game in which he was considerdd especially strong was a matter of chagrin to himself and his friends, and he claimed that he was sick and unable to do himself justice. He therefore sent a_challenge to Daly to play & match game, cushion carom, which the latter forfeited by not accepting, thus giving Sexton the championship. The Present match gamo is the result of Slos- son’s challenge to Schaefer a few wecks ago. Schaefer being under engagement to go to Europe, his cause was cham- pioned by Sexton, who in turn chal- lenged Slosson, the challenge being ac* cepted for Slosson by Thomas Foley, of this city, The game will be played at Central Music hall on a 5x10 Collendar table and will consist of 500 points, Be- sides the championship and the 1,000, the winner will receive the Collender championship emblem. Among the bil- liard playing fraternity Sexton is consid- ered the best cushion carom player in country, while Slossen ranks better in the balk line, champion’s and the regular game Sexton is a man about 30 years of age, short and round shouldered. He owns & billiard hall in the Bowery in New York city, and has been a billiard player of the first magnitude for about ten years. In 1878 he first loomed up and since that time he has made for him- self a phenomenally successful record. Sexton played his first match game in 1874, in Albany, New York, with Chas, Effler, for $260 a sde, which he wen without any difliculty, In the following year occurred the Garnier tournament, in New York, in which he tied for the third, fourth and fifth Jprizes. Dion se- curing first money. In January, 1876, he played Slossen a game of 600 points, £500 a side, and beat him 147 points. In this game Sexton made the largest average then on record, 15§, Sexton then went to Europe and Vignaux in Paris and was defeated by a small mar- gin, Returning he, in May, 1870, played the first game and winning all the rest, including first 'n'izu of $1,000 and a b liard table. The players in this game were Garnier, Slosson, Daly, Dion (J. and C.), Rudolph, Shaw, Bessenger and Sex- ton. After the close of this contest he went to California and played in a tour- nament with Slosson, Daly aud Garnier in which Garnier ana Sexton tied for first, second and third prize. In 1877 he defeated, in New York, J. Dion for the championship, and a little later C. Dion. Slosson then challenged Sexton, but was beaten in two games. Sexton, in 1878, R b played » match game for $1,000 against Dion, Rudolph, Slosson and Daly. He won first prize, aud in the same year played another game with Slosson, 1,800 points for $400, and beat him 900 points, making the Largest run, 417 poir ts, on record at that to meet the inevitable decline in the vol- time. In 1880 Bexton won the cham- circum. | pions’ game in New York, and in a tour- | nament in New Orleans tho same year )Svhm‘fn‘r won the first game and Sexton the remaining ones, securing 86,000 prize exton and Daly played t cushion caroms which resulted in Sexton's favor by 33 points in 500. Altogether Sexton has played Slosson five match games and has beaten | him four times. He has won four tour- | aments and eight out of ten match games. Sloseon 18 about 20 yoars of ago and is recognized as ene of tho best players of the rezular game in the world. Hoowned un cently a billiard hall in | New York, on Twenty-third street, but it is understood that he will in future | make Chicago his headquarters. Slosson's greatest t was the defe Vignaux in Paris in 1881, sson de feated Sexton ina lotly contested match | gamo at Galveston, Texas. He plays a |short, unervous stroke, and is very | cautious and deliberate, rolying more on | his ability as a nurser than on plays |round the table. The contrast m the| o of playing of the contestants marked. Sexton plays in d manner and y g sson sometimes gets oxcited, especial- | ly in match games. Tho sentiments as | to the comparative merits seems to be about evenly divided and bets are made at even figures, The cushion carom game is considered the most diflicult of bill'ard games. The highest run over made in this game was in_the Now York tournament in which Dion won first prize. Sexton made a run of 77 this game but was beaten in the aggregate. The next highest run was made by Wal- | lace and was The highes erage in this gamo is at present 9. The cushion ecarom game aims the same result as the balk line game, the prevention of nursing. In or- dor to make a point tho player's ball | must, after striking the first ball, go to the cashion before it caroms on the sec ond ball. Only three balls are used and owing to the requiremnt of strikiug the cushion bofore making the carom on the scond ball long runs are vory raro and yos impossible. Slosson and hard at work endeavoring to improve their skill in the gentleman’s art and those who have witnessed some of the private efforts of the contestants say that all former efforts in the cushion ca- rom line are likely to be eclipsed in thoe coming contest. — MONSTERS OF THE DEEP. | | money.

WasHiNGTON, October 21.—Secretary Chandler has writtencommander Wildes, of the stermship Yantic, with respect to the failure of the expedition for tho re- lief of Licutenant Greeley. He says “You were instructed to proceed to the northward through Davis Straits with the steamer Porteus, but not to go beyond Littleton and. The Porteus passed be- yond this Island and was crushed in the i The Yantic did not reach there until August 3d. Be- tween these dates the Garlington party of the Porteus came to Littleton Island and Pandora Harbor, not finding you continned south in open hoat: in searsh of the Yantic. Had the Yant been at Littleton on the 20th of July, instead of being twelve days behind the Porteus, the Garlington relief party would have remained at that point with amplo supplics and waiting for Lieutenant Greely, whose orders requi ed him to en- deavor to reach that vicinity not later than September, 1883, and who would not then have found awaiting him as in case he successfully obeyed orders, neither house nor provisions, but only a record the com- olete failure of the mission of the Portus and Yantic. 1t appears to the department that you disobeyed orders and thereby defeated the object os the expedition. You will make such explanation of this point as you ore able. To this Commander Wilder replies that the boilers of the Yantic were in an un- reliable condition when ordered to fit for the Northern cruise. Repairs were pushed night and day to hasten the de- parture, but not being finished on sailing day material for completing the work was put on board and the repairs continued from time to time until the arrival at God Haven. Knowing that from thence northward the main dependence would be on the engines, I determined to get the boilers in fair condition before leav- ing. This took six days. One day was then taken to got coal from the brig Peru, which had just arrived. Then thick stormy weather set in which de- layed the departure two days. He ar- rived at God Haven with but 170 tons of coal and more time was lost, 8o it was July 20th before he could leave. Six days more were lost by a dense fog. On the 3lst he cleared from Upernavik for sea. No time was lost and 1o unnecessary delay made at any point. Had he sailed from God Haven the same time as the Porteus, be- sides being unable to keep up with her, her would have arrived at Littleton Is- land with the coal supply reduced to 75 tons, and the boilers in a leaky aud pre- carious condition.” Commander Wildes describes the dan- gers connected with the passage through Melville bay. He says ho did not delay one moment after he considered the ship prepared, but pushed ahead and only reached Pandora harbor to find the boats had gone south six days before. He considered it his first and ]pnrnnmunt duty on learning the loss of the Porteus to pull up boats which contained 36 men and having done that it would be time to consider what next. Having made a long snd unsuccessful search for the boats, & heavy pack of ice moved down behind the Yantic, preventing her return northward and leaving no alternative but to proceed to Upernavik.

Manslaughter, in Pryor's opinion, was the utmost O'Donnell could be found guilty of. Every effort is being made to bring witnesses from Capetown to England. *I believe,” Pryor said, “0'Donnell will have a fair tria, 1 find there is no prejudice against him, 1 do not expect to take public part in the trial but simply help other oounsel by con- sultation. 1 shall remain in London until the trial is finished. 1 have seen O'Dounell and he impresses mo as o simple minded, ingentous Irishman, any- thing but an assassin, The trial will occur in the middie of November and last two or three days.

The adjust- ment of salaries of Presidential post- masters, warrants tho statement that the result will bo satistactory, and for the first time in the history of the department the salavies of Presidential postmasters will bo equalized and placed n o basis of the gross receipts of their officos, Total expenditures on account of postoflice supplies, 8111,027, leaving a small balance. 1t is the duty of the Government to furnish roomy well ar- ranged offices for the transaction of pos- tal business. There is no good reason why tho Govornment should not provide for paying offico rent at postotlices of the The an third class as well as at offices of the first and second class, The benefits of the free delivery servico should bo extended to a class of towns in o densely populated por- tion of the country which could bo sorved by carriers with benefit to the peoplo and economy to the depart- ment, Theso are towns within a short distance of one another, which have not singly the required qualifications of pop- ulation or gross revenue. The law should be amended so as to authorize the department extend the system to such by establishing it at the principal or con- tial office of the group and discontinuing the obher oflices or substitutmg for them inexpensive branches of the main oflice from which carriers could serve the sur- considoration of the fact that local corre- spondence increases in proportion to the facilitios, it should bo extended and liboral appropriations made to bring it up tn the highest practical standard in cities where it is now in operation. This_ser- vico meots the goneral domand of busi- ness and social life, but fails to meet the dispateh required in delivery of lottors of excoptional fmportance. Tho public o demands more speedy delivery a cortain class of correspondence. To meet this want it is suggested a special stamp be provided which when affixed to » [l’etwr. whether mail or local, in addition to the ordinary postage stamy: shall be regarded by the oftice addressed as entitling the lotter to immediate de- livery up to 10 o'cloek p. m. To provide for their delivery it is suggested that boys bo employed and required to pro- cure receipts from the party addressed or some authorized porson. In view of the oxcessof receipts ot post- age on local matter alone over the cost of its delivery ($1,021,804) it scems the time has arrived, whon post- age on local letters at officers where the carrier system is in operation can be reduced from two cents to one cent. Such reduction will surely result in a very large increase of local business.

Another Charley Ross. Sr. Loum, October 21.—Christian Ross, father of the long lost boy, **Char- loy Ross” accompanied by R. Morgan, « lawyer of Philadelphia, have been at Edwardsvills, Ills., und this city the past three days attempting to get at the truth of the story told by & young man named Donnelly, who is under sentence of one year in the penitentiary for some crime, but nothing has come of the investigation so far and it is not likely any thing will. ‘Itis believed, however, both by Mr. Ross and the prosecuting attorney of Madison county, Illinois, to whom Donnelly first made a statement, AN OPEN SECRET AMONG THE LADIES The brilliant, fascinating tints of Complexion for whici ladies strive are chiefly arti- ficial, and all who will take the trouble may secure them.
