Her Charms Stil Begulling Many of the Uninitiated. AUBURN, CaL, Nov. 25.—People here have been inclined to discredit the exist- ence of the aerial traveler of the heavens, but last night found several reliable citi- zens who can swear that they saw the light in the sky. Jobn T. Walsh, hospital steward, no- ticed a Jight in the western sky just about over Sacramento, forty miles distant. He called his wife and she and scveral of the hospital patients vouchsafe tl.e story as true. Their description is that it wasa round light of vellowish hue, nearly as large as the sun, It dipped and curved for a while and then disappeared. Dave Chamberlain noticed a light in the heav- ens when going to supper shortly after 6 o’clock, and when he reached home calied his father’s and mother’s attention to it. Deputy Recorder Henry Hart is another who saw it. FRESNO, CaL., Nov. 24.—The airship passed over Fresno at 6 o’clock this even- ing. CQuoly the light could be seen. Some say it was Venus setting. The light passed over the city in a northwesterly direction. S INQUISITIVE '‘RIVALS. Searchlights Seeking for the War- ship of the Air. VALLEJO, CaL., Nov. 25.—The search- lights on the monitors Monadnock and Monterey are flashing throughout the heavens this evening, in hopes of discov- ering the whereabouts of the great air- shin. Up to 8 o’clock no discoveries have been made and it is expected by the offi- cers at the yard that some other course will be pursued by the air voyagers for fear that big Betsy and Alice on the Mon- terey will be trained on and fired at the warship of the ai A BALLOONING FATALITY. Thrilling Story as Related by a Sur- vivor. The Vossische Zeitung publishes an account of the wreck of the balloon Jupiter from the mouth of M. Boiteux, one of the aeronauts, who says: “When we had risen 500 yards or more we found ourselves in such thick clouds that we could distingunish nothing. Suddenly the Jupiter lay off on one side and the car leaped terribly. At the same time we were lashed by large hailstones anda heavy rain. We were -ariven forward with bewildering speed. threw out everyt across. The balloon sprang upward like an ar- row and scon passed throush the clouds. We were under a clear sky, in the light of the setting sun. Gradually it grew colder and colder, and our wet clothes were irozen stiff. Crepillon fell fainting to the bottom of the boat, and we others were not much better off. We were all ‘bleed- ing, for the hail had wounded us. As I looked out I saw a large black cloud mov- ing from southwest to northeast. But we still rose. Then Isawnothing more. The blood streamed from my nose and ears. | My hands were frozen hard as a board. In a few minutes we had risen to a height of nearly 5000 yards. Then we began to sink, at first slowly, then rapidly. All at once we were again in complete darkness. We were in the midst of thunder- clouds. Again, amid hail and ram, the wind drove tke Jupiter on at a speed of ninety miles an hour. We were blinded by the hail, and could scarcely breathe. But I did not lose bope of reaching the earth safely. The hail and rain now began to be mixed with leaves ana par- ticles of earth. The car was violently shaken, and we fell against each other and had to hold on ta the ropes. Then we began todragalong the ground. The balloon suddenly rose again. I let rope go and was dushed to the ground. Legrand believed that I had voluntarily jumped out. He jumped after me and fell near me with a broken leg. Thus lightened of weight the balloon rose more rapidly. Rushing through the tree tops it went on about six miles in the direction of Gretz. As it hung on the top of a tree Foucard tried to land, caught a rope, but was thrown violently to the eartih. A woman saw the ballcon bhanging in the trees and sent the people at her inn to our assist- ance. 3 Foucard was found covered with mud and ice, is face all torn. He still breathed. When his head was raised with the intention of giving him stimulants he was seized with a convulsion and soon ex- pired. As he was carried away a weak voice was heard calling from the car for belp. Two ladders were brought and tied together and a gendarme climbed up to assist Crepillon. It took an hour to get bim down. On reaching the ground he fainted away. He was cold as ice and only regained h's senses after continued friction.—Westminster Gazette. - AN HISTORIQ OANNOK, It Fired the Lust Shot in the Last Bat- tle of the Rebellion. The cannon which fired the iast shot in the last battle of the late war is a gun worth knowing something about. Hence, the sale of the eight-inch Columbian, “Lady Slocomb,” which is advertised in the Mobile Register to take place there on the 15tk, arouses the interest of old sol- diers and old soldiers’ sons, for the reason that it is generally supposed to be the gun which fired the last shots of the war, or that fired so many deaaly yolleys in the l‘:;'sl. Lattle that took place during the Civil ar. This last engagement, said an old sol- dier yesterday, took place at Spanish Fort.” This engagement, of course, was not a regular battle and is not, perhaps, recorded in history as such, but it was, nevertheless, a conflict fierce, and fire flew that day as never before. General Forrest had sent to Spanish Fort during the last days of the war a suflicient force of men to guard the place, and among the number was the Fifth Battalion of the Washington Artillery, Captain Cuth- bert Slocomb in command. The Lady Slocomb was brought there, and there fired its last shots when Wilson’s raiders stormed the place and took it. There the Lady Slocomb, for a few hours before the old fort was surrendered, belched forth fire and scattered death like an intelligent being, but to no avail. as the enemy num- bered several times as much as tie garri- son. After the surrender of the fort some of the members of Captain Slocomb’s'com- mand one night rolled the Lady Slocomb off the earthen embankment into a lagoon or old slush hole and buried it, giving as their reason that thev did not want the Yun to fall into the hands of the enemy. t was afterward dug up and carried to Mobile, where it was purchased by Henry Badger, a prominent Confederate of that place, who had served throuzh the war and knew of the excellence of the Lady Slocomb. The gun was named after the wife of Captain Cuthbert Siocomb, who went out in 1862 in charge of the Fifth Battalion of the Washington Artillery. The gun at the battle of Shiloh spat ont its first sraoke and spread its first desolation in the ranks of the enemy. Through all the memorable struggles of the Army of the Tennessee it went out and everywhere it gained well - d=served renown. It was prettlly mounted, and was at that time, as it probably is now, a handsome gun. Now the old relic is to be sold. The es- tate of Henry Badger is being wound up, and the gun, along with other relics of the Confederacy, isto fall into the hands of others. Years ago several efforts were made by the Washington Artillery to buy the gun, and they will in all_probability be heard from at” the sale.—New Orleans Picayune. —————— Elephants are fond of gin, but will not touch champagne. - In our fright we ng that our hards came CABINET-MAKERS VISIT MckINLEY Farmers Name a Man for Secretary of Agri- cultura. Michigan Would Feel Honored if General Alger Were Recognized. Whitslaw Reid, Mark Hanna and Other Prominent Persons Dine With the Major. CANTON, Omro, Nov. 25.—Major Me- Kinley iistened this evening to a formal request for recognition by appointmeat to the Cabinet. A commitree of the National Grange, an organization of farmers with a membership of 250,000, urged Mr. McKin- ley to appoint J. H. Brigham of Ohgo as Secretary of Agriculture. The committee consisted of G. H. Hale of New York, George B. Horton of Michigan and W. W. Miller, secretary of the Ohio State of Agri- culture. Aaron Jecnes, the spokesman, sald : “We feel that the vast agricultural in- terest of the country ought to be recog- nized by the appointment of a practical farmer to the position of Secretary of Ag- riculture. Colonel Brigham, whom we recommend, is a successful farmer, a strong man of affairs, a good writer and a good Republican. He has been for some years chairman cf the National Grange, and he is favorablv and widely known. We are not satisfied with the course of the present administration toward the farmers. We hope the Republican party will give us not only a representative in Cabinet, but fair and generous treatment in its tariff bul.”” Major McKinley promised to carefully consider the suggestions of the committee and its members departed in excellent spirits. The most interesting feature of the Pres- ident-elect’s day was the arrival of a party of distinguished visitors from Cleveland at 1:30. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Hanna and Miss Mabel Hanna, General and Mrs. Samuel Thomas of New York and their son, ex-Governor Merriam of Minnessota, Mrs. Merriam and Miss Merriam, Miss Phelps, General W. D. Caldwell, president of the Lake Shore Railroad, and Mrs. Caldwell, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Gauslin, of Toledo. Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who were jonrneying to Arizona, arrived at the same time. Major McKinley and his brother Abner were at | the station to receive the guests. Major | McKinley escorted Mrs. Whitelaw Reid and Mrs. Hanna to his carriage and drove them himself to the house. Mark Hanna saton the seat beside him. Luncheon was served at 2 o'clock. It was 3:30 when the party left the table. Major McKinley withdrew for a private talk with Mr. Reid, and remained closet- ed with him until the visitors left for the station at 4 ». M. There was a good deal of talk about ex-Governor Merriam of Min- nesota for Secretary of the Interior. Mr. | Hanna did not have a private cor:ference with Major McKinley, owing to the brevy- ity of his visit. Congressman Smith of Grand Rapids, Mich., the only man in the State who ran ahead of Governor-elect Pingree, came by | appointment to see Mr. McKinley late this afternoon. He was accompanied bf Charles M. Head. Mr. Smith was cor- dially greeted by the President-elect and had a long audience with him. “Michizan would feel honored,” said Mr. Saith toarepresentative of the United Associated Presses, ‘*if General Alger were given a Cabinet position. We feel that we deserve good treatment from the Republican party.” Continuing, Mr. Smith said: “I am opposed to the Dingley bill and do not think it will pass. The indications are that there will be an extra session of Con- gress.”’ Among the callers to-day were Murat Halstead, A. Butler Duncan of New York and E.F. Andrews, director of the Cor- coran School of Art, Washington. VOORHEES IN THE SENATE. A Son of the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash May Wear the Mantle of His Father. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—C. H. Hagen of Seattle, Wash., who is at the Normandie Hotel, says there is a possi- bility that the name of Voorhees will still appear on the Senate roll after tne 4th of next March, although the Sycamore of the Wabash is to retire. He reports that there is & very strong sentimentin Wash- | ington State in favor of electing Charles 8. Voorhees, a son of Daniel W., to the Senate, to succeed Watson C. Squire. It will be remembered that Charley Voor- hees, as a delegate to Congress, was in- strumental in securing the admission of Washington Territory as a State. It was generally understood at that time that he would have been chosen Senator had the first State Legislature been Demo- cratic. The Democrats and Populists have a large majority in the Waskington Legislature, which meets next January, -‘:;id Mr. Voorhees’ chances are said to be 8! e GOLD CERTIFICATES. Movements of the Treasury Depariment Indicative of a Renewal of Their Issuance. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—Assist- | ant SBecretury Curtis has been in New York two days, but will be at his desk avain Friday. No information is vouchsafed at the department as to the cause for his to New York, but it is believed to be on account of the proposed renewal of the issuance of gold certificates. It was gen- erally understood at the department that apon the return of the Assistant Secre- tary, Becretary Oarlisle would issue an -order .permitting the resumption of this practice, he having authority under the act of July 12, 1882, to stop the issue of #old certificates whenever the reserve fell below the $100,000,000 mark. The cessation of this issue has happened frequently during the past’four years, but it is now believed that the ordinary course of busi- ness will not interfere with a practice that has been found convenint for the banking institutions of the country, and particu- larly for those in the large cities, - There has_been no stable gold balance since 1893. When Secretary Carlisle took bold of the tressury in March, 1893, there was $116.000,000 of gold certificates out- standing, but they have Leen entirely withdrawn. When the first suspension of the issue of gold vertificates occurred there was $114,000,000 outstanding. This happened in April, 1893. After the saie of bonds the gold reserve was recouped, but only temporarily. On two different oc- casions the issue of gold certificates was resumed, but it was stopped at both times within two or threa days alter the order was made permitting them. Then the Becretary decided not to again direct their issue until the balance was stable and de- void of the fluctuations tbat had marked it through a period of many montkgs.. To-day the nubuggéfinagz g‘:ll‘: cerlificates aggregate only $39,588,1. e issue pro- D%fiedgcnnsists of denominations of $5000 and $10,000, and will be issu d to such persons as deposit for the gold in the treasury upon which they are issued. These issues are largely used by banks as a part of their reserve funds, and enable them to carry a large amount of tue equivalent of gold without the bulky article itself, and without the attendant losses by abrasion, ete. S THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION. All Disputes Practically Settled, but There Are Certain Formalities Yet to Be Observed. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—With- out there being any direct official advices on the matter it is very apparent that tie report of the Venezuelan Commission, which is now virtually completed, will be in the possession of the President prior to the completicn of the forthcoming mes- sage to Congress. : How the character of the commission’s Teport may be changed from its present standing, in view of the friendly attitude of this country and Engiand toward each other in the setilement of Venezuela's trouble, is a subject of some official and diplomatic interest. That point appears to await official reports from the Govern- ment of Caracas. Should an agreement between Great Britain and the United States prove ac- ceptable to Venezuela, the incident will be harmoniously and hnally closed in all quarters, and not tend to a recalling of past acrimony and recitals of more or less national disagreement that would appear should circumstances call for detailed statements of the numer- ous points involved in the controversy as considered by the Commissioners. In the event of the South American republic cordially acquiescing in the decision of the two great powers bearing the brunt of the dissensions a formal report only will be necessary. Judge Brewer of the commission was in consultation to-day with Secretary Olney, presumably on the subject, but he declines io give any indication whatever of the purpcses, of his visit to the State De- partment. ———— THE PRESIDENTIAL TURKEY. Fattened to Order, It Weighs Thirty-0ne Pounds—How Cabinet Officials Will Fare To-Day. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—The President of the United tes and nearly all of his official advisers wiil pass Thanks- giving day in this city in a quiet way. The President and Mrs. Cleveland will at- tend divine service in the morning and eat their Thanksgiving meal in the execu- tive mansion in company with their three little girls. The principal dish at dinner wiil be a choice tursey from the stock of | Horace Vose of Rhode Island. The bird arrived by ‘express this morning. It weighs thirty-one pounds and is described as the fattest and handsomest Mr. Vose has presented. It is by all means the big- gest and most peerless bronze turkey seen here. Mr. Vose began his practice of sup- plving the President with a Thanksgiving turkey nearly a quarter of a century aco, and for a number of years the late Seuator Antbony of Rhode Island sent the gift in person. The Vice-President and Mrs. Stevenson, with their family, will spend the day at their home in Bloomington, Iil. The Secretary of State and Mrs, Olney will have a regular New England ainner at their home on Massachusetts avenue. They will have a small party of friends, including the Secretary of Agriculture and Miss Morton, Solicitor-General and Mrs. Conrad and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Endicott. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle and their son haveinvited a few friends to dine with them to-morrow and will dispense the | traditional Kentucky Thanksgziving hos- pitality. Secretary and Mrs. Lamont will spend thadduy quietly with their little house- hold. Secretary and Miss Herbert will have Mr. and Mrs. Micou, the Secretary’s son- in-law ana daughter, as their guests. Postmaster-General and Mrs. Wilson have invited a number of young people, friends of their children, to 'spend the day at their hospitable home. The Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Francis will celebrate their first Thanks- giving day official ife in Washington by ageneral family reunion, at which will be present their five sons, now at coliege. It wili be the practical inauguration or their new home, Attorney-General and Mrs. Harmon will have all the members of their jamily with them at dinner. e WEST POINT CHANGES, The Academy’s Sphere of Usefulness to Be Enlarged. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—The annual report of the Board of Visitors to the West Point Military Academy recom- mends raising the requirements for ad- mission so as to provide that applicants shall be examined in such subjects as may be prescribed from time to time by the Secretary of War before they shall be ad- miited to the academy. As the barracke and academy building were found to be ample for the accommodation of at least eighty-eicht more cadets, or two at larce from each State in the Union, or one for each Segator, and the additional cost would be slight, the board recommends that an act of Congress shouid be passed for the nomination of one cadet by each Senator in addition to those named by the members of the House of Representatives. The Board of Visitors recommends addi- tions and improvements at the academy barracks, the extension and repairs of the riding-hall and stables and a number of other improvements, which they think will make the military academy the most complete school of tne kind in the world. OPInLIE PRINCE 1TURBIDE'S GKIEVANCE, May Be Reinstated in the Metropolitan Club at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 25.—The case of Prince Augustin Iturbide, the adopted heir of the late Emperor Maxi- milian of Mexico, against the Metropol- itan Club of this city. upon a petition of Tiurbide for a writ of mandamus against the Metropolitan Clab to compel it to re- ceive him to membership, as e had been expelled for alleged scandalous conduct, was heard in the District Court to-day, and the decision 1s held under adviss- ment. The particular offense charged against Prince Iturbide, and for which he was expelled from the clhb, was his state- ment that a daughter of a fellow-member had written certain letters derogatory to the character of ather ladies. Iturbide denied under oath that he had made such allegations. R gy To Study Marine Achitecture. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—Naval Cadet William C. Grovesbeck of Indiana, who has just been sent to study marine architecture in the University of Glasgow, is the sixth man of his Naval Academy class to be sent abroad for such a purpose. It has been customary to send three of each class, but the demand for naval constructors has so greatly increased that the number needing special training has correspondingly increased. Eight or ten of the next ciass will probably be sent. | } | | 1 BILLY SMITHS FOUL FIGHTING Loses His Battle With Ryan After Nine Rounds. Gets Rattled in the Hot Contest | and Disregards the Refere=. Hissed Down by Disgusted Spectators When He Appeals From the Decision. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 25.—In the ninth round of the twenty-round battle between **Mysterious” Billy Smith of Bos- ton and Tommy Ryan of Syracuse, at the Empire Athletic Club. to-night, Referee Hurst disqualified Smith for repeated fouling and gave Ryan the decision. There was bitter blood between the met, who have already met four times. ‘The battle was fairly even up to the ninth round. Though Smith did most of the leading Ryan’s wonderful defense evened matters. & 2 Smith opened the ninth with a terrific left-hander, which landed on Ryan’s left eye, cutting it open. y Smith apparently went wild at the sight of the blood, and the fight, which had been tame in the early rounds, began in earnest. Smith landed right and 2 lefu punches and had Ryan bard put to it to defend himself. Then Smith comimenced | deliberately fouling his man, hitting him in the breakaway, holding in the clinches and elbowing. Ryan appealed several times to the referee. At length that official, having several times cautioned Smith, sent the men to their corners and declared Ryan the winnes. Smith retused to shake hands with Tommy and for a moment it looked as if the battle was going to be re- newed, but the secouds quieted the men. Smith tried to address the crowd. but he was hissed down by the disgusted spec- tators. There were not more than 1500 people resent. Ryan was attended by Jimmy andler, Fred Smith, Tom Grady and George English. Charley White, Tim Mc- Grath and Bil Crowley were behind Smith. They shook hands at 10:15 ». M. Round 1—Both sparred for an opening. Smith was first to_let go with the left and Ryan ducked, landing a light right on the body. Smith shot & left to the ear and they clinched. Ryan put a left on the neck and Smith drove his right to the body. Ryan ducked a couple of lefts and ran into a leit on the neck. Round 2—Ryan rushed in and on the wind. ‘Smith tried a left but Tommy ducked. Ryan landed his left on the body and Smith put his right on the neck. Smith sent a light xefl to the ribs and Tomm came back on tne neck. Smith swung his left lightly on the chest. Billy put a sounding left ou the back as the bell rang. Smith was cau- tioned for holding his man. Round 3—They were only sparring so far. Smith led, but was stopped.” Rvan came into 4n uppercut, but got back with his right on the body. Tommy thea put his left on the wind, but took a stinger on the face in return. Neither mau would break until the referee separaied ihem. ound 4—Ryan in, ‘but was stopped. T ey exchanged hard leits. &mith put a right on the neck at lon; range. Billv's | left found tne face lightly, and he sent a good one to the belt. Ryan put his lefton the body. Smith sent a hot ie.ton the face, and Tommy rushed in and wrestled his man to_the ropes, where the reieree broke them. Smith had done ail the leading so far, but Tommy showed his usual cleverness. Round 5—Smith led for the face but was blocked. Ryan smilingly got away from some very viciovs swings. In a raily Smith landed on the face and body and followed up with a left on the face. Ryan put a hot left over the kidneys. Smith’s right found the jaw and he shot a left to the wind. Both luuded right and left on the face and body as the bell rang. | Tommy was still on the defensive. Round 6—Ryan’s left just reached the body. Ryan came iu and took.a righton the wind, but a moment after jabbed his left un Billy's jaw. Smith drove a hard left on Ryan’s chest. ihey started to mix and Ryan had a bit the best of the exchange. Tommy ianded his left on the face and Billy countered on the body. Smith drove his right and ieff on the body belore the beil rang. Smith’s eyes were a bit red. Round 7—Smith opened with his right on the body and they clinched. Smith rushed in, but Ryan clinched. Ryan put both hands on the face lightly. Smith'drove in a couple of rib-finders and Tommy’s left fourd the Boston man’s face. Smith put a hard oue on the ear and two corking leits on the body that hurt. Tommy came in, but got a left on the ear for his pains. They were getting warmed up and 1t was even so far. Round 8—Ryan came in with his left on the body. A lot of clinching followed. Smith shot a straight left on the forehead, and fol- lowed with the leit on the body. Ryan sent his left to the ribs lightly. Smith sent his left to the body, and Tommy countered on the face. A warm rally closed theiound, Smith doing execution on the body, while Tommy went for the face. Round 9—Smith shot a left al Ryan's left eye, cutling it open. Smith commenced rough- ing it and sent his left on the eye and right on the body during the clinches. He punched Ryan hard, holding him, and Tommy kept ap- pesiing 10 the referce. At last, after a glaring succession of fouls by Smith, during which he held his maun agaiust (he Topes, (he referee stopped the fizht ana gave Ryan the verdict.

Football Season Closed With a Contest Between Freshmen. PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 25.—The fooi- bsll season closed here to-day by the Princeton freshmen defeating the Yale freshmen by the score of 14 to 4. About 2000 spectators turned out to see the con- test, but there were few representatives from New Haven present. The voung Tigers had things pretty much their own way in the first half, but in the second half Yale showed the ad- vantage they had gained by steady prac- tice for some time past, while Princeton was, to a great exten:, a picked up eleven, having had little opportunity of learning team play. Princeton had better men in every posi- tion, with the exception of the center trio, where Sutphin and Marshal made things hot for their opponents. The only thing that kept Yale from scoring once or twice was their fumbling at critical times. Their best gains were mude by mass plays on the center and by using the quarterback trick around Oglesby’s end. Princeton made the most ground by workine Yale’s ends, ‘which were quite weak. and by gains on Wheeler's unt. Wheeler punted well, but both elevens depended mainly on tactics. 0 WHEELMEN'S BULLETIN.

GOLD DEMOCRATS UNDER A CLOUD Are Debarred From Their Party’s Councils in the Halls of Congress. Senators Palmer, Vilas, Caff:ry and Gray May Vote With the Repubticans. Small Hope for the Passage f the Dingley Tariff Bill During the Coming Session. WASHINGTON, D. €., Nov. 25.—Only a few stragglers have reached Washington to attend the session of Congress, and from the expressions of these Senators and Representatives it is apparent that no plans have yet been formed as to legis- lation to be accomplished this winter. Nething can be determined until cau- cuses are held aiter Congress has assem- bled. Chaos will reign in both the Demo- cratic and Republican conferentes. The bolting Republicans will have their own little caucus, and so will the gold Demo- crats, for the latter will be given the cold shoulder by the regular Democrats. The regulars and Populists will also cauncus separately. Senators Palmer, Gray, Vilasand Caf- | fery will be denied admission to the Dem- i ocratic caucus, and it is believed that they { may vote with the Republicans on many | questions. There is some doubt about Senators Hill 2nd Smith, who have not entirely forfeited thneir claims to be regarded as Democrats. The silver Republicans who supported | Bryan ere in closer touch with the Demo- Lackey and Jesse Connor, charged with the murder of Mrs. Winner and her two children near Richmond, Mo., last week. They were taken away from the jail there to prevent lynching. . — e JACOB HERMAN'S FAILURE. dild Weather Iwine the Business of @ Former San Franciscan. NEW YORK, N.

HE RIGGED THE MARKET. 4n Australian Broker Comes to Grief on *Change in London. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 25.—A special dispatch to the Sun from London says: The most sensational case of rigging the market for many years came to a crisis on the London Stock Exchange to-day. Shares in the Lady Hampton, a new Australian mine, the actual and par value of which is §5, reached the nominal quo- tation of $1500 each. The history of the deal is this: A few weeks aco the stock of the Lady ampton Company was offered to the pub- lic mn the usual way at par. Be- fore the allotment was made a big jobber in the Australian market named Stoneham undertook to break the price of the stock, which was quoted in advance of the issue at a slight premium. He offered the stock in 1000-share lots a litile under the market. The company’s brokers bought 3000 shares from him. ‘Mr. Stonenam then en- deavored to obtain the stock for delivery by subscribing in the names of his clerks for 3000 shares. Thedirectors of the company determined to punish him. They sentlette:s of regret to all the public subscribers and allotted all the shares to themselves and friends. Mr. Stoneham found it impossible to obtain the stock to complete his bargain at any but prohibi- tive figures. It would cost him $450,000 to et 3000 shares at to-day’s quotations. fi'hn men who have so su rigged the market offer to co with him for $1,000,000 cash. Mr. Stone- ham offers $150,000. The Stock Exchange commutttee had appointed next Monday for settiement, but have ngw pgstooned it in- definitely. Mr. Stonebam has invoked the law and begun prosecution against his persecutors for conspiracy. The chances are that the matter will be com- promised. —— Taken From Jasl to Avaid Lynohing.
