ALOSSES IN THE STREET ‘, REPORTED VERY HEAVY. He Had Been Despondent for Two Weeks, but Despair Came When the Firm of Tay- for & Company and W. H. Stow Went to the Wall. Carried down by the crash in Wall street, his fortune whipped away by the pwhirlpool of ruin that is churning round the house of Keene, Dr. Louls Shaw, of No, 162 Remsen street, Brooklyn, who had one of the most fashionable and lucrative dental practices, ended his life to-day with a bullet in the brain. The puicide occurre] at his home, where he fmaintgined his ralatial offices. Mrs( Shaw did not permit the servants to awaken her hisband to-day at his usual time of rising, thinking that a longer sleep than was his wont to take ‘would refresh him. But as the hours passed and no sound came from his room she became alarmed and knocked for admittance. There was no answer fand the lock was broken. Dr. Shaw lay on his bed, his face streaked with blood, p hole in his right temple and a pistol An one hand. No one in the house had heard the phot except Jennie W. Spencer, the of- fice attendant, and she paid no attention to it, thinking it was in the street. Sur- eons who were summoned said that if they had been called within a minute @fter the shooting they could have done wothing for Shaw. ‘Dr. Shaw had known for two weeks past that ruin wae ahead of him, that qnly @ miracle could save him from be- Ing caught in the financial smasb that twas then threatening. Mrs. Charles B. Cook, Dr. Shaw's mother-in-law, who lives in the Remsen ptreet house with her husband, was the bnly member of the family who would filecuss the suicide. “We had known that the doctor had deen worrying and descgndent over loss- es in Wall street,” said she. “His de- ‘ppondency became alarming two weeks go. He was strong and brave though, nd with our cheering, we thought we had gotten him to look on the bright side of things. ‘Two weeks ago the doctor ‘was in such a mental state that we ‘thought it better for him to leave New York.

Russell Sage, who has been in very poor health for several days, appeared at his Wall sirect office before the »pen- ing of the market to-day, deeming ét his duty to be on hand in case of trouble, But the strain of the hot weather and the financial conditions had told upon the old financier, and shortly after get- jing downtown he was taken ili.

To the importunities of his friends who begged him to go home he replied that he felt all right and ‘would remain until the close of the market. A swarm of men with securities vis- {ted Mr. Sage's office to borrow money. Most of them were turned down with the information that their requests would be considered Monday.

ROME, July %.—Pope Leo's body was interred in its temporary tomb this evening. The religious ceremony was brief.

It was lifted by pullles to the sarcophagus over the door of the choir chapel, where it will re- main until taken to {ts last resting place in the basilica of St. John Lat- eran, The body had been withdraw from public view at noon, and those who still lingered at the gates of the Chapel of the Sacrament, in St. Peter's were or- dered to leave. Two or three hundred persons, including Cardinal Goossens, who arrived from Mechlin Just in time, passed slowly out of St. Peter's into the sunlit plazza, and the world’s last fare- well to the great Pope was over. Ten finutes later Italian infantry and gen- darmes poured out of the Basilica and lined up on the steps in imposing array. The outer gates were closed and the body of the late Pope was left to the tender care of those who had watched by Leo XIII. tn his lifetime. The prep- arations for the interment this evening were immediately commenced. The most solemn and smposing cere- mony to-day was the reception by the Sacred College, in the Hall of the Con- sistory, of the whole diplomatic body accredited to the Vatican. All the dip- lomats wore gorgeous uniforms and the Cardinals had on thetr magnificent vio- let robes and were seated in huge arm- chairs, according to right of precedence.

He a vanced and delivered an address in French, expressing the sorrow of all the powers at the death of Pope Leo, who had acquired, the universal esteem of the world. Ring's Strange Story. It has just been learned that when the time came to take the Fisherman's ring from Pope Leo's finger another was found in its place.

Is $1,500,000, and — Slump in Stocks Has Probably Brought Additional Drop of $3,500,000 in Values, Rumors of impending failures in Wall street circulated freely in the two hours during ‘which the market was open to-day, but if there were houses in difficulties they weathered the period. Conditions were favore able for weak houses as there was a market for almost any stock on the list. There is every indication that failures will be announced on Mons day, as it is known in the street that several brokerage firms have been compelled to liquidate at prices that cannot allow of them continuing in business. Up to the time the bank statement was issued at 11.30 o’ciock, the tone of the market was one of hope. Nearly all prices had reached the close of yesterday after a feverish fluctuation and rumors that the bank statement would prove to be favorable had the effect of steadying quota- tio. = +4 The statement showed an ncrease of reserve on all deposits of $6,636,920; an increase in loan of $884,200; an increase in spec:- of $5,503,700; an ta- crease in legal tender of $925,400; an increase in deposits of $7,168,700, ana a decreaze in circulation of $89,700. The showing in the increase of loans was a disappointment that was not offset by the large cash gains. The market sold off at once and speculation, which had been brisk, became dull. The range of prices was eo irregular that buyers and sellere were all at sea and at the close there was & general - feeling of depression, Sales of specialties {n which it was suppor#d that the houses which fajled yesterday were interested caused violent declines. Des Moines & Fort Dodge sold down 20 points, Evansville & Ter-e Haute 9 1-2 points, United States Rubber preferred 4 points, Rubber Goods preferred 12 poirts, Weet- inghouse Electric 5 points and I ernational Paper preferred 2 1-2 points. James R. Keene was in his office early. He reached Wall street, ate tended by his son-in-law, Talbot J. Taylor. They had a conference with Receiver Britt and then went to work on a complicated statement of the affairs of the firm, prepared during the night by the experts on the books, — Mr. Keene eaid that he had no statement to make. MP ‘There was an attendance of brokers at the opening of the Stock Eix+ change most urueual for a Saturday in the middle of the summer, but there was nono of the tremendous excitement usual to a period of anxiety in the street. In fact, it seemed as though the brokers were confident that the air was fairly clear and that it would be well to rest until developments growe ing out of the failures might become apparent. MORE RUMORS OF FAILURES, ; : Rumors of failures were found on every hand, but they were faint ; rumors and caused little excitement. The fact that the Stock Exchange — session was to last but two hours—from 10 o'clock to noon—made for confidence, It 1s uot unlikely that more than one prominent firm will be compelled to give up the ghost on Monday, because the Keene following has been numerous and many have been, as Mr, Keene himself saya, be Saree men, owners of securities upon which they do not depend for an income, were buyers of industrials to-day.
