INAND OUT OF WALL STREE The Manipulations of the Balls and Bears the Past Week, Several Successful Corners En- gineered to the Detriment of the Market, The Railroad Kings Watching for an Upward Turn to Dump Their Loads. The Demoralized Condition of the Northern Pacific Threatens to Disrupt the Company. Spacial Disy ateh to Tik Bex. Nrw York, November 5.—Following is Rigiolo's financial review in The Sun this morning: Stock speculators began to pay last week the penalty which is always attached to forced manipulation, Every market requires a certain amount of artificial handling, just as every gar- den requires it, but it is equally wrong to use force in either case. Tho fruits pro- duced in both might be attractive to the eye, but not to thetaste, and only very ig- norantpeople will care totaste them. The impudent attempt of a fortnight ago to force up the prices of Jersey Central, Michigan Central, and Northern Pacific preferred, looked at first very bril- liant in ita results, but a few days were sufficient to show that nobody wanted to taste the forced exotics. The transac- tions in these stocks have since DWINDLED TO ALMOST NOTHING, and the men who engineered these cor ners have no other satisfaction than that ot having squeesed a million or, two out of the shorts, and of having accumulated in their tin boxes and banks more stock than ‘they will ever be able to sell out at a loss twice as large again. A glance at tho daily reports of the transactions in these stocks during last week shows how determined the specula- tive community is to give them a wide berth, Such a result is only natural, The investors (if there are any) keep away from these stocks because they see that they are advancing and declining, not upon their merits, but under the pressure of artificial iutluences, while the professional speculators deécline to have anything to do with them because they have the whole list to wort upon with- out taking any Ztrn‘ria s of squeezes and shake-outs. \The corners in these atocks have reduced them to the position of the Hanniabal & St, Joe securities, in which, since the famous corner, there is hardly a transaction & week. THE SQUEEZE, ‘however, has had the effect of showing the full extent of the :x:’nn interest cngo, mn::xm:fp a m.;n‘_ 70.‘“ ” gz’, i e e R e said to be J. R.

He does not pretend to say that the general aituation of either the railroad or stock: business has im- Mr, pricos for stocks. are inevitable. Keeneis a very agile manipulator, and few men in Wall Streot are able to jump in and out as quickly as he does. ~But the inconvenience of taking the bull side of the market now, even for a momentary turn, is that Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Villard, 3r, Ciould and all the men who are toaded with stocks watch the market as a cat does a mouse, and jumpon it to sell the moment they seo the slightest chance to do ko, hus, & man might 20 in merely for a quick turn and tind himself s heavily loaded as to be unable to turn at all, The danger here is, in proportion, as great to the man who handles but a few hundred shares as it is to the man who handles thousands, No matter what may be the immediate course of the market, there can be no «question that the center of interest will be in the Villard stocks, Many uncom- plimentary things are said about these securities, but, as usual, some of the: most important are overlooked by the majority of people. After the colosaal junketing expedition, which must have cost the Northern Pacific a pretty penny, Wall street was not nunat- urally surprised to find that retrenchment waa the order of the day. Vice Presi- dent Oakes has gone out into the sno west to reduce expenses, at least such is the ostensible reason of his departure, though some unkind people are hinting that he is keeping out of the way of a subpoena, Aceording to a western jour- nal this econamical movement has already had A BAD EFFECT and several accidents have eccurred on the roasd, owing to the reduction in efficiency of the switchmen. That there ia something in these reports is proved 2{ the caustic letter written by General aupt, who has been general manager of the road since 1881, and who has just re- signed his office rather than hold it and he unable to perform his duties efficiently. Probably the president of a railroad never received a more scathing rebuke from his subordinates than is con- tained in General Haupt's letter when ho says: “‘I have received from you in- atructions to curtail expenses in every department, to discontinue the work in progress, and to discharge employes who have served the company efticiently. The restriotions that have been placed upon its general manager are of such a nature that I cannot see how it is possible to con- tinue in management, and secure results that will beat the same time creditable to myself and setisfactory to the stock- holders,” When a man gives up a lucra- tivo and important oice for such reasons 13 these, it i3 evident that things mnst be in a very bad way indeed. NOR IS THIS ALL, Wall street has been expecting for somea time a statement of the financial position of the Oregon Transcontinental company. The date of its issue has been postponed from day to day and it is now whispered that several of the promiuent bankers interested in that company have rofused to sign or in any way to endorse tho statement, _tTdir eonnection with [l the concern was Fegarded by the public at large s of much more im. portance than the exparte reports of the ofticers of the road, and it is now said that the company does not dare to_pub- lish the statement without the endorse- ment of Mr, Belmont, Mesars, Drexel & Morgan, and other well known men sup- posed to bo interested in the affairs of the company. The recent decline in the Villard stocks has directed public atten- tion to one point which ought to be ven- tilated thoroughly, Is the president of a company appointed as a trustee of the stockholders, or as the speculative nomi- nee of a fow Wall street operators! Of course every one knowa that a man like Mr. Russell Sage becomes a director in a railroad company or a bank merely to have his information six_months ahead of every ene eolse, and to be able to make out his puts and calls accordingly. But it seems as if the president of a railroad, at all eventa, if not the directors, should have other aime than personal notoriety or gain. e — TELEGRAPH NOTES, Tho livery stable of James O'Connell, at Togansport, Ind,, burned Saturday, Sixteen horses were consumed.

In | — SOME FICTIONS, A Few Points About the Judicial POSTINC The Methods Employed by Pen- sion Attorneys to Swindle Ticket in the Fourth District, Correspondence of Tie By Scrus ter, Nov. 2,—In your issue of Nov. 1 appeared a correspondence from this place very appropriately headod ‘A Gross Misrepresentation,” and signed very inappropriately “‘Blackstone.” The centents of that communication form a series of misrepresentations, to usoa mild form of expression. That nom de plume was evidently chosen with the intention to surround the author with a profes. sional nimbus, to which the real man can lay no claim, When he charged A, M. Post with the hideous crime of ‘‘dema- goguery,” a word of his own coining, he gives himself dead away and shows that only personal spite induced him to pour his vial of wrath over the District Judge. If he is, a8 I surmiso, one of thy unsue- cessful litigants in that celebrated elec- tion suit, he must know that the trial was postponed on account of the illness of one of the principal attorneys in that case. and there was not a man in this county, save “‘Blackstone,” to find fault with the postponement, 1f that same individual further states that A. M. Post was endorsed by a ma- jority of one in the A, M, County Con- vention aftera hard fight, and only after whining, begging and promising, ho gives utterance to a wilful and malicious lie, The truth is, there was no fight or oppo- sition whatever, and the resolution to en- dorse A. M. Post was unanimously car- | ried. It would be a waste of time and paper to repudiates point for point the statements of a man, so utterly (L-voinl of honor; for every man, woman and child in this county knows there is not a scin- tilla of truth in it.

Gallagher had a long inter- view with her last night, but did not learn why she left her home nor whether she will return. Her leaving home, how- ever, was a voluntary act. She went alone, and the-theories about elopement, marriage, or being in any way connected with any gentleman, were wrong. Col. Churchill, the girl's father, left for In- dianapolis to-day.

He was the leading spirit of the counterfeiters of the district and lived near Frenchtown in a log house built very much like a fort. It had one chinking out all around and while Faulk- ner worked on the manufacture of coin his wife stood guard. Immediately after the arrest of the Pikoville gang R. O, Hobbs, a detective, known as Doc Hen- derson, went to Frenchtown and to the the house of Faulkner, whom he told about the raid and said that he (Hobbs) was the only man to escape. He wanted to hidoe for a fow days. Faulkner readily took him in and cxplained all his pro- cesses to Hobbs, who professed to be an experienced counterfeiter. Saturday Faulkner went to Frenchtown to ot _some Evansville papers to extent of the raid, luuLEnutl the Hohbs pretended he was going for a bot- tle of whisky, followed “him, and dodg- ing behind fences and troes, saw him en- tor a store. Hobbs ran in and, present- inga revolver at Faulkner's head, or- dered him to throw up his hands. Cuffs were put on and the deputy marshal took him in charge. Hobbs hurried back to the house and called to Mrs. Faulkner to bring » shotgun as he ran, She, thinking her husband was in danger, did a8 she was bid. When she reached Hobbs she gave him the weapon.

Holland, was shot in the head and is supposed to be mortally wounded, Thos. Seward was shot through the bedy. Five negroes were killed, and it is supposed many more wounded. Theo beginning of the ccnflict was the beating by one of the citizens of negro who n‘\fl‘u\nflhr negro for apologizing for’ an apparent rudeness and spoke roughly about a citizen. Some of both colors in- hand of one of the white men exploded and the firing began, All the stores were closed immediately and an alarm being sounded the puopf’e came out with arn &' Besides five negroes reported killed, it is said two others haye since died. The bodies of those found dead on the streots were handed over to their friends and takenaway. Walter Holland, shot in the head, is the son of C. G. Holland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional campaign committee. He rested well and hopes are entertained of his recov- ery. While tico. Coleman, P. B, Gravely and R. M. Hubbard were on duty last night as mounted police, passing a house occupied by colored people, in the outskirts of the city, they were fired npon. About 20shots weregivenand returned.
