A Raoy Review of the Recent Squeeze That Cornered Bears in Northern Pacific, Ltigolo's Spaculation on Futures, Special Dispatch to Tir Big- W York, October 28.—To uncon- cerned observers Wall street has, for the last two wocks, prosented an nncommon- ly lively and interesting sight. After being steadily whipped since the summer of 1881, and punished with especial se verity during the last eight months, the obdurate bulls became desperate and went for their assailants, Retaliation was rendered very easy by the fact that the boars, intoxicated by continuous successes, had pushed it forward almost as recklessly as the army of Napoleon did its victories when it crossed the Boresina and advanced upon Moscow. It was both buried and frozen out, and so were the bears. In both cases the result was proauced by natural causes, not by any great generalship on the part of the vie- tors. Koutonzoff and Barlay de Tolly had no more merit in defeating Napo- leon's army than Vanderbilt and Villard had in cornering the bears. Frost and the want of food and shelter did the work in one case, the ab ence of stocks when they were wanted ior deliveries did it in the other. The cornering of Jer- sey Central, Northern Pacific preferred and Michigan Central came of itself. Holders of the stocks merely took ad- vantage of the oversold condition of the market and held on to their stocks till abnormally high prices began to be bid for them. ~ The moment most of the de- mands of the shorts were supplied, prices began te sag off again, and if they still remain steady it is only because n few solid bears remain still” uncovered, The extent of the existing short interest is, however greatly exaggerated. The borrowing demand for stocks and the premiums exacted for loans ave in_most cases artificial. The big holders of the so-called cornered stock are steadily selling them all the time, but they don't deliver their own certificates and borrow v hat they want in the *‘loan erowd” of the exchange. Tho great bulk of their stocks are carried by the banks, in many cases on time loans,” The vote of intorest for monay being very low. Holders of these stocks prefer not to dis- turb their loans, and don’t care a straw for the premium, which they have occa- sionally to pay for borrowing stocks having accumulated the stock and offered to take it off his hands in preference td” bidding for iv in the open market. Of courso Keeno had it then all his own w He is said to have gone about 70 for his stock and mado the purchisers supply him besides with a quantity of ¢ rezon Trans-Continental at 25 to cover his shorts. No wonder tha he has been talking bullish for some time past. Thoro was a sudden flur the Chicago market on Saturday noon the cause of it was evidently the same as the causo ot the flurry in the stock market—an abnormally large short interest. A young Cincinnati speculator was badly “squeezed, and to help the working of the thumb screws, the Chi- cagoans invented semoe sensational re ports of an_impending war in Europe. The general beiiof continues to bo that the crops not beingsuperabundant, wheat at a dollar a bushel is cheap. That might be so, but the trouble is that there is no demand for it from abroad, and since Indian and Russian wheat are much cheaper, there is not likely to be any. The speculators in petroleum will do well to take notice of the fellowing paragraph from The Jour- nal De St. Petersburg, the official organ of the Russian government: ‘‘Many German merchants have just made, for the first_time, large purchases of petro- leum at Bakon. Up to now the Russian petroleum, though extensively used in Austria and Hungary, has not been used in Germany. Tfm low price of the Russian trouble has groatly encouraged German purchasers, and the excellent quality of the Russian eil and the new facilities for railroad transportation make it almost certain that Russia will soon supercede America in the petroleum market of the whole of Europe.” ey NORTHERN NEBRASKA NOTES, Starting from the main U. P. line at the bustling little city of Columbus, your correspondent struck nortaward passing through the densely populated prairie dog town lying north of Columbus, which town soems entirely free from the grasp- ing tendency of many of our flourishing Nebraska cities as regards corner lots. Every inhabitant wore an expression of contentment in the midst of his primitive homestead simplicity, and seemed to be a law unto himself in the location of his domicile. The prairie deg is a citizen of quiet and pacific manner of life and yetis evidently a terror to the eager farmer who is careful to respect the city limits of his inferior neighbor. The country stretching northward along the branch line of the U. P, railway is beautiful, and the abundant crops of corn and small grain speak eloquently for the fertility of the soil. Madison is a flourishing young town and secmingly enjoys tho undis- turbed honors of tho distinotion as capital of the attractive and well developed county of Madison. Many indications of improvement sinceit gives the market the appearance of being oversold, and furnishes them a chance to frighten some more shorts into covering, and thus to keep up prices. As a matter of course the Northern Pacitic corner presents the greatest interest. The corners in Michi- gan Central and Jersey Central being mere incidents; very few men care to deal in these stocks on” the bull side, while on the bear side most of the op- erators take their punishmentquietly and swear that they will never touch them again. Inafew weeks from now these very stocks will be as dead a load on the market as the stocks of the ex-syndicate of Mr. Senoy. But the position of the Norther acific stocks is full of all sorts of posgibilities, pending the ratification meeting of the stockholders which is to take place next month. The new mort- gage is for $20,000,000 and the bonds cannot be issued unless approved by a vote of a three-fourths majority of the preferred stockholders, whether they can be issued even if the vote should be favorable remains to be seen as suits have been commenced asking that the company be restrained and en- joined from issuing any new bonds, A Mr. Field, one of the plaintiffs, has ob- tained a temporary injunction. The case will be argued within a fow days. The principal ground upon which he rests his claim to an injunction are as follows: The charter granted by Con- gress to the Northern Pacific authorized the company to have a capital stock of $10,000,000, but in view of the immense grants of land made to the company it was provided that no mortgage or con- struction boads should ever be issued on the road or mortgage or lien made there- on in any way except by consent of the Congress of the United States. By a joint resolution of Congress, ap- proved on May 31, 1870, the com- pany was authorized to sue bonds to aid in the construction and equipment of its road and to secure the same by wortgage on its property and rights of property of all kinds and descriptions, real, personal and mixed, including its franchise to be a corporation, under this authorization, The company mortgaged its property, and franchise to Jay Cooke and another as trustees, and issued about $31,000,000 of bonds. In 1874 the company made default in their pay- ment of interest on the bonds, and a de- cree of foreclosure was made in August, 1875. The company was then reorgan- ized and several further mortages were made, g0 that the question on which the most stress will now be aid is whether the joint resolution of Congress author- ized only the first mortgage or whether it allowed the company and ity successor, the reorganized company to go on issuing bonds ad infinitim, However the case may be de- cided, there will no doubt be an inter- esting recital of the facts and a consid- erable addition to the curiosities of the history of railroad management, for the plaintiff proposes to discuss the connec- tion of the Oregon Transcentinental company and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company with the Northern Pacific and the relations of Mr. Villard with all of them, According to Brad- streets, ex-Senator Conkling and Mr. Evarts have been retained to defend the company and as the ex-Senator will be fresh from his fierce fight in the Jersey Central case, there will probably be some lively times in this suit. Everyone will of course rogret that Mr. Gowen 18 not engaged on the other side, in which case we should have a continua- tion of the the Jersey Central tourna- ment now so much delighting the public.

At Nofolk, which prides itseIf in the glory of being a railroad center of no mean importance, we paused long enough to study its situa- tion as an important strategic center for a vast scope of country that will soon open & good chapter in the history of this portion of the State. Norfolk has a live- ly business, and as for hotel accommoda- tions it ranks far beyond the attainments of many of our Nebraska towns. A Ne- braska town is nothing unless it has some pet scheme that is likely to open a grand and imposing future before it, and Norfolk ditfers not from her sister towns. Joining company with the tide of land and home seekers sweeping up the Elk- horn valley, we bade good-bye to Noriolk and eagerly tcok in the situation of things along this far famed valley advertised as containing homes for the millions. And truly aside from a naturally expected extravagance in such flowing advertise- ment, the Elkhorn valley in attractive beauty and fertility of soil speaks for itself to the incoming multitude. Antelope county is_just now undergo- ing a tremendous_upheaval incident to a strongly contested county seat fight be- tween Oakdale and Neligh, the latter claiming the championship and wearing the belt. Oakdale treats the result much aftor the sour-grape fashion, and Neligh is quite content to let it pass as such. Your correspondent noticed that both towns were ambitious aspirants for edu- cational honors, each one glorying in the cstablishment of a seminary in their midst. Leaving the railroad at Neligh we struck across the country northward, passing throught Antelope and Knox counties by the measured pace of the In- dian Pony Express, Through the thick- ly settled region of homesteaders in and about Willowdale and Millerboro,we were forcibly reminded of the wise policy of our government in holding these lands for the exclusive use of such families as would comply with the requirement of pre-emption, timber claim and home- steads,for within three years these claims haye reached a value of from §1000 to $1200 for each quarter section, but with no disposition to prove up and sell at that fizure except in exceptional cascs Our objective point was the celebrated Niobrara with its triple name of Running Water, Leau Qui Court, (pronounced Lo- ke-Core) or Niobrara, It is an old town, and has lived for years on great expectations, and is de- termined to hold on to the expected ad- vent of railroads, crowds of people and lots of business, Just now the expected relief looks down upon them from the Saunders Indian reservalion addition, the opening of which for salo is expected to fill the waitlng streets with life and trade, to all of which we respond, *‘Mote it 80 be.” One thing is certain, and that is Ne- braska is capable of so much develoj ment and growth as to hold us in readi- ness for almost any result, During the ast year we have observed Nebraska ands advancing all over the State until the price has reached on an average a round hundred por cent increase over last year. The coming year, unless we miss our guess, will bring to our State multi- tudes of home seekers and land buyers beyond anything we have yet seen, and these choice acres will not be long unoc- cupied, e — A San Antonio, Texas, special s Halpert, charged with being implic ¢ 830,000 forgery on Kidder, Peabody & Co., Boston bankers,was discharged to-day through abeas corpus proceeding, The prosecution were unable to make out a case, the principal witnesses being detained in California by legal difficulties counected with the arrest there of supposad accomplices, ‘The San Antonio offi- ooy Compiatn of lack of eoop-ration of Boston Villard party, he covered all his shortsin that stock at and below 60, anl went authorities and allege tha: | parties in good standing in various portons of Texas are involved, inently in a Scandal Snit.

Vermilye was arrested here on a chargoe of embezzling £3,000 of the Weems stove compan At the same time Gen. Wm. Myers brought action for slander against him for alleged statements to the eftect that Myers had been guilty wife, Subsequently Vermilye made an gations and it was generally understood the suits would be withdrawn and the matter end. A special from St. Paul; however, says Daniel B. Vermilye yosterday filed a paper asking tsERN vorce from s wife, Mary Holmes Vermilyo. Ho charges her with adultery home at 8t. Paul, with Gon, Wil- liam Meyers, quartermaster-general of the department of Dakota, until about a year ago. Their intimacy, he claims, commenced in this city in 1881 and con- tinued up to the present time, and charges that Meyers and Mary Vermilye are now living in_adultery in some place in the states of New York or Now Jer- sey. The proceedings have created cen- siderable exctiement here where all the parties are well known in the best society. C — Fatal Collision. CHicaco, October 28.—A passenger train bound north on the Panhandle road and an outgoing freight on the Michigan Central collided this morning at Joliet crossing, thirty miles southeast of this city. Both engines were thrown from the track and wrecked, falling upon and setting fire to the flag nan’s box into which flagman, Peter Colic, retreated upon seeing a collision inevitable and was burned to death. Wm. Morris, of Logansport, engineer of the Panhandle train and John Kellogg, of Michigan City, head brakeman of the Michigan Central train were killed. John Dengan, engineer of the Michigan Central train was severely injured and crazed by hurts and fright ran four milesto Dyer, Indiana, where he arrived a lunatic. John Gor- man, a Michigan Central fireman was also hurt. Passengers on the Panhandle train were badly shaken up by the shock, but no one was seriously hurt. It is im- possible to locate the responsibility for the accident. ——— The Fire Record.

Lorpspure, N, M., October 28— Moss & Sheldon’s wholesale liquor house burned last night. Loss $35,000; in- sured. It was caused by the explosion of an oil lamp. e ——— Strange Sulcide. Bostox, Ootober 28.—A strange sui- cide occurred at West Newton yestorany, caused probably by mental aberration. The victim, Mabel Stone, was the adopted daughter of Joseph Stone, a retired baiker. She was aged 17, and a pupil in the high school.

A BLOODY ROW AT SOLOMON October 27, —This evening about 7:30 o'clock a drunken Soromon, lowa, crowd congregated in a saloon, and soon began fighting. One of them, named Braddock, got shot and was mortally wounded, and another, Whose name could not be learned, got badly pounded, Among the crowd were three of thosoe follows from Missouri who have been trying to kick up a row here for some time, and they are the men that stirred things up to-night, one of them boing tho fellow who got pounded. No par- ticuars can be obtained, as the whole gang has skipped the town, including the barkeeper. The Sheriff has been tele- graphed at Glenwood. KU KLUX CONVICTED, Arianta, Ga., October 27.—In the Banks county Ku Klux case eight pris- oners were found guilty on every indict- ment. They will receive sentenco Mon- day. Judge McCoy in his charge was very severe in his condemnation of so- called Ku Klux crimes. Heo said: *‘It is strange that men should so forget their manhood and so forget their God and the laws of their country as to permit themselves to do such things as reflect disgrace to humanity and to society, and 1 say, as a citizen of the United States and as an observer, nothing has tended 80 much to bring this southern country intodisgrace, nothing has tended so much to put the balance of the United States against us as this kind of outrage. They are mean, they are disgraceful, they are horrible; they are things which the people of this country cannot com prehend or understand.” The conviction of Ku Klux has created a sensation. The ringleaders are men of considerable property and members of a large family in Banks county named Yar- borough. Four of the family, Jasper, Tames, Detmus and Neal, were tried and all convicted. Lovick Streetman, E. H Green, Bold Emory and Stacy Louder- man were the others, Jusper Yarbor- ough was the leader of the gang. The charges aguinst them was that they committed outrages on ne- groes because the negroes voted for Hon. James Emory Speer for Congress Speer was defealed and appomted United States District Attorney, so it fell to his lot to prosecute the Ku Klux, When the verdict was read convicting the en- tire gang several broke down and sobbed audibly. The prisoners were handcuffed and taken to jail. Their counsel will use every effort to secure a mnew trial. They have not been sentenced. The penalty is from one to six years Thus far there haye been no convictions of Ku Klux in Georgia. e e A Novel Suit, Cr1caGo, October 28.—Miss Helen Close began suit yesterday against Mrs. M. J.

While gone the girl rushed up stairs, and went into a closet, followed by a seamstress. In the closet thore was anether revolver, which Mabel sccured.

That the crop is the largest by 25 peor cont ever raised in Nebraska; that on account of recent favorable weather the quality has been so improved that it will compare favorable with any corn pro- ducing state, not excepting even Kansas. They also further state that in their opin- ion the production of all kinds of grain in Nebraska, taken as a whole, both as to quality and quantity per acre, stands un- excelled in the history of this country, or that of any country, excepting, per- haps, that of Egypt during the seven years of plenty before the famine. A Side-Splitting Farce. Central City Courier. OF course nobody has been scared. It's what they’'ve always said all along, but somehow we can't help catching our | breath at seeing The Omuha Republican, which has always been acknowledyed one of themost consummate railroad stool- pigeons in the State, breuk out into di- atribes like the following: 1t is time that* the railroads of this state called a halt. The people have borne the interference of railway man- “ [ agers and attorneys in politics far to long. * * * The Republican has rested long enough in the hope that the railroads of Nebraska would see the error of their ways and the handwriting on the wall, and would reduce their charges and call in their attorneys. * * * But the accursed interference of the corpora- tion in politics worse and more aggra- vated at each succeeding election. At first we are inclined to believe Freddy must be turning the thing loose in the absence of the manager, who would be horrified when he came home at the pranks the youngster had cut up. But after reading on a little father the richness of the affair becomes apparent. No such rollicking extravaganza, it is safe to say, was ever prepared for the journalistic boards. "T'he Republican party, somewhat frightened by the obvious revolt against its maungement, gave notice to the rail- road politician that he must go—and in response to the public demand elected as many members of the late Legislature as possible for the purpose of securing a just and equitablo railroad law, Through tho machinations of Democratic monopolists and dishonest Anti-Monopolists (so-call- ed) the Legislature was, however, pre- vented from carrying out the purpose of the Republican R:rty. " The show winds up with the customary “gide-splitting farce,” as follows. The author of the plot ought to be imnor- talized: Leaving the Republican party, where they were no longer tolerated, the rail- road politician and railroad manager have taken full control of the Democratic or- ganization, and have carried the war into Africa by assuming an almost absolute power among the Anti-Monopoliststhem- selves. The people of this State, with- out, respect to purty, should this fall once and for all tumes rise in their might and put down these ambitious and scheming monopoly politicians and wireworkers, and thoy can do this only by giving the Republican ticket a swoeping and em- phatic majority.
