MADE WALL STREET HUM A TERMINAL TUMBLE FILLB THE AIR WITH RUMOR3. The Stock Hammered Down From 22 1-2 to 10 1-2—Big Orders From Thdse on the Inside Stem the Tide and Send the Price Back—Louis ville and Nashville’s Dividend. Naw York, July 18.—Thero was an un usually live time on the stock exchange to day, and the bears had things very much their own way until the sharp rally which came just before the close. Richmond 1 erininal cut quite a figure in tho day’s dealings, ranging wider in its fluctuations than almost anything on the list. It opened at and under a vigorous attack just about midday, was hammered down t > 19V a . Ihe sudden drop made a decided sensation, and for an hour or so Wall street was full of rumors as to the cause. SOME OF THE RUMORS AFLOAT. One story was that a big insider had tired °f his load, and attempted to slip out of his holdings. Another rumor put it that the attack was Jay Gould’s, with the idea of knocking the stock down, and then buying enough of it to to give him control of the property. In other quarters it was said that it. was not Gould but Alfred Sully, Simon Borg aud their associates, who had raided the price with the idea of capturing tne control, btdl another story was thnl the property was about to go into tho hands of a receiver. In a narrow circle of wiseacres it was confi dentially whispered that the company was soon to issue another baten of stock, which would increase the present capital several millions. CAUSED rtfEASINESS. All the stories combined tended to create general uneasiness, and the stock went tumbling as if there was no bottom. The fact is, several of thee Terminal leaders were at a meeting of the Georgia Pacific railroad when tho attack was made on the stock and knew nothing of the break until it was bellowed out. So soon as they came out of the Georgia Pacific meeting and learned of the sharp decline, heavy orders to buy were promptly sent into the market, and the stock rallied from to 22. This recovery was made in less than thirty min utes, and the slock closed steadv at the rally. LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE’S DIRECTORS.

VIRGINIA’S REPUBLICANS. The Conference at Washington Reach ing an Agreement. Washington, July 18.— At a late hour to-night Senator Quay, Gen. Clarkson, Sec rotary Fessenden and Col. IV. W.

Gen. Mahone, it is said, readily conceded this poiut. It is uucerstood that the chief thing in contro versy is as to who shall sign the credentials of the delegates to state conventions. AN AGREEMENT EXPECTED. One of the Mahone adherents said at a late hour that he thought this would be settled by having the credentials signed by the chairmen of the various county conven tions. At midnight Gen. Brady said he thought that tho result of tho committee’s deliberations would be to secure harmonious actiou in the next campaign ou the part of the republicans of Virginia- Pauncefote Going Home.

SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1880. DAKOTA’S RBDBKINS. An Exciting Incident When Signa tures were Called For. Cheyenne River Agency, Dakota, July 18. —The council met about 10 o’clock this morning as usual. A lai ge delegation of the hostile element arrived in a body and took seats surrounding the chiefs. It was soon apparent that it was the object of the speakers to waste time in useless talk and prevent any signers to-day. Gen. Crook finally stopped further discus sion by sending for the rolls, and invited such Indians as wished to sign to do so. A Crow stepped forward and said that he was in favor of the bill and touched the pen. This was the signal for an ang-y outburst from tho Cherry creek baud, who began to crowd around the table where the rolls were spread out. threatened with death. Two painted ludians sprang to the front, one brandishing a large club, nnd threatened to brain any ono who signed. Gon. Crook stood near with his hand on a heavy chair prepared to knock tho Indian down at the first hostile demonstration, when the latter was arrested by the police and hurried out of the pavilion. Gen. Crook spoke forcibly for a few moments. He told them that this commission bad been sent here by the President for the purpose of explaining an act of congress, aud that it had done its duty. If anyone did not understand, the commissioners were ready to explain. Jf anyone wanted to sign they should be allowed to do so. A BAD STATE OE AFFAIRS. Matters were in bad shape if a lot of breech-clouted blanket Indians who had just oonie on tho reservation, and cared for nothing so long as they got enough to eat, were allowed to prevent these Indians, who were trying to provide for the future of their children, from signing. He said if the police could not protect them he would bring men here who could. He wanted it distinctly understood that those who ch ose to sign would be protected. This effectively silenced the disturbance. The police prevented the crowd from pressing around the signing stand and opened a lane for them through the hostile faction. Signatures were taken rapidly for an hour, and are continuing slowly. There were 100 signers up to 5 o’clock this afternoon. The worst element of the Sioux reservation is located here, the Cherry creek bands being mainly those Indians who were within a few years brought hero from Poplar river, and were the last of the hostilos to come in. These conditions make the work of the commission very difficult. POOR WORK BY THE PETREL. She Makes Slow Average Speed, Owing to Bad Coal. Baltimore, Mb., July 18.—This morn ing, at 11:30 o’clock, the naval board again went down tho bay to test the new gunboat Petrol, which, while successfully standing the official test on Monday, met with a slight accident to her machinery, anddvas obliged to return for repair* to Baltimore. The test to-day was a four hours’ run under forced draught. On the return of the Petrel to-night, it was learned that her best sjieed, under the forced draught, was IS 7-10 knots or 16% statute milee for a short time, while her average speed for the four hours’ teH was 11 7-10 knots or 13 5-10 statute miles. It is thought that the low aver age speed is duo to improper coaling, the coal being of poor quality, and the fires being started long before the test. Going ahead at seven knots, the engines were stopped in five seconds; backed in three minutes, and the ship gathered hor sternboard in three minutes aud twenty seconds. QUICK TURNS. With the ship in dead water, with her helm hard a-starboard, the engines were started ahead at full speed, making about six knots, aud the vessel made a complete circle in 5 minu os and 40 seconds. Under the same conditions, with tho helm bard a-port, the circle was made in 7 minutes and 15 seconds. Capt, Skerritt will report favorably on the construction of the Petrel, and the horse-power the Petrel developed will not bo known until Chief Engineer Devlin and his assistant work up the data procured at tho trial. It is hoped that she may yet de velop 1,400 horse-power, though 1,100 is probably all she developed at auv time to day. A BALLOON ADRIFT. It is Believed to be the Mieslng Camp bell Airship. Providence, July 18.—About 7 o’clock Tuesday evening a big balloon passed over this city heading in a direction that would have brought it up over Buzzard’s bay and Vineyard sound in an hour or two. A great many people believe that the balloon was the missing Campbell airship. No balloon ascensions are known to have been made hereabouts recently. SEEN AT SEA. New York, July 18.—Pilot Phelan of the pilot boat Caprice, who brought the bark Belt into port, reports that on July 16, in latitude 29° 30' and longitude 71“ 40' he sighted from the masthead, at a long ditance away, a ball on dragging its car along the surface of the water. He gave chase to it but at sundown, when about three-quarters of a mile from it it collapsed and disappeared from sight. BLAZEB IN BIG BUILDINGS. Columbus, 0., Has a Fire That Causes a Loss of SBO,OOO. COLUM3US, 0., July 18.—A disastrous fire occurred about 1 o'clock this morning in this city.

He Wants Also to Lay His Hands on Mike Donovan Sullivan to Do a Little Summering in Canada—A Ru mor That 1,500 of the Crowd Around the Ring Are to Be Arrested. New Orleans, July 18. —It having been reported here that a list of 1.500 names, in cluding newspaper correspondents, railroad aud telegraph people aud spectators at the recent Hullivan-Kilrain fight had boeu for warded to Mississippi, and that all tho parties concerned would be held to answer for violating the laws of that state, the Associated I’ress correspondent at Jackson was instructed to ascertain, if possible, from Gov. Lowry the ground of the prose cution, aud whether or not spectators would be proceeded against, but the governor de dined to be interviewed on the subject in advance of the action of the authorities of Marion county. The governor said, how ever, that he might have something to say on the subject in n few days. He thinks the report exaggerated. PURSUED TO NEW YORK. New York, July 18. Detective Norris appeared at tbe Tombs police court to-day with a requisition from Gov. Lowry of Mis sissippi calling for the arrest of Charley Mitchell aud Mike Donovan, who looked after Kilraiii'* interests in his fight with Sullivan. Detective Norris had no requisition for Sullivan or Kilrain. Norris arrived this morning and Inspector Byrnes detailed Detective i-nathier to assist him. Upon tho application being made for warrants for Mitchell and Don van l>efore Justice O’Reilly, the justice declared that warrants were unnecessary, as the arrest could la made without them. I'be two de tectives then started out with the intention of making the arrests at once. WHY HE WANTS MITCHELL. Detective Norris said to-night: “The reason 1 want to arrest Mitchell is that he is an Englishman intending to leave the country. 1 have looked for him two days, and bavo failed to discover his whereabouts. I was in consultation with Gov. Lowry in rela'ion to the fight on Juuo 28, 29 and July 3. I rode on Sullivan’s train; ai far as Lexington, Mo., and from there sent on assistants to the eud of the journey. I am an expert telegrapher, you knew, and was to keep Gov. Lowry posted on what was going on, but the wires were cut. Gov. Lowry is indignant because the fighters passed through his state aud then turned hack and pitched the ring in Mississippi. MUST WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER. The detective says that nothing further can be done in tho matter until the Missis sippi grand jury meets in September. Then about eighty men will be indicted. Since his arrival here. Detective Norris said, he has been engaged in getting the names, ad dresses and ail possible information about the participants in the fight, from the prin cipals down. He denied the truth of the story that he was to get S2OO for taking the Kilrain party safely through Mississippi to New Orleans. NO REQUISITIONS RECEIVED YET. Acting District Attorney Goff said to day that requisitions for the parties and principals in the recent Kilrain-Sullivan fight had not yet reached his office. The men, he added, who were identified with the fight, when arrested will, of course, be turned over to Gov. Lowry, and it is cer tain that Gov. Hill will consent as long as the necessary papers are shown. SULLIVAN m CANADA. Utica, N. Y., July 18. —An Ogdensburg special says that John L. Sullivan, accom panied by William Muldoon, passed down the Bt. Lawrence this morning on the Royal Muil Line steamer Passport, on route to Montreal.

He Classes the Knights of Labor With the Mummies-The Interests Pro posed to Bo Benefited by the New Alliance Too Divergent to Make the Scheme Practicable. Eall, River, Mass., Ju'y 18.—Secretary Howard of the Spinners’ Union was inter viewed this forenoon in regard to the pro posed alliance of all the great labor organi zations of the country os suggested by the recently issued circular of General Master Workman Powderly and others. Secretary Howard said that he had little faith in the feasibility of the proposed organization, as the interests which it was proposed to ben efit were of a too widely divergent charac ter to reap the samo intelligent and prompt remedial measures as might bo expected from a less complicated and eum bersome body. The textile workers of Now England, Secretary Howard felt satisfied, would not look fa vi >rably upon the proposed amalgamation, as they were satisfied that the more direct and profitable method of settling wage disputes and obtaining re dress lor grievances was through the me dium of organizations representing solely the branch of industry in which they were engaged. FowDßur.Y'a order a corpse. I he Kuights of Labor,” said Secrotary Howard, “are practically dead in New England and 1 do not lielmvo their former power can be restored. Their mismanage ment, or worse, of tho recent strike of the Worcester shoemakers, destroyed all hopo of tlieir future usefulness. This latest move ment is a scheme on the part of some of the labor loaders to recoup their fallen fortunes, and recover the prostige which they held in former days. The movement may meet with success in the west and south, and although I express simply my own opinion, f iiave little hesi tancy in sayiug that tho mill operatives will not look favorably upon the plan. The ex penses of tho executive department of the Knights of loifi >r was a great drawback. Flic same objection would apply to the pro posed amalgamation, and the delays inci dental to tho adjustment of union matters would also serve to make it unpopular.” COAL HB AVER'S BTRIKE.
