the ugly rumors on the street
T.BEIR creation.
Nearly Every Stock on the List Scores
an Advance-A Fluctuation of lO
Points in Jersey Central During the
Da y_The Market Undoubtedly Over
sold.
New York, Nov. 19.—Last night there
were cabled to London the alurming rumors
which had become current here during the
dav about certain large and influential
bouses on the street being in financial
trouble, and predicting further failures and
t gloomy look altogether. These were re
flected back here this morning in the shape
or rumors that large houses In London were
on the verge of bankruptcy, and the effect
of last night’s cables were seen in the Lon
don market in a panicky feeling and sharp
loss in American sticks, and this market
was opened from Ito 3 % per cent, lower
than last night’s prices.
BUYING BRISK.
That the circulators of the rumors stood
ready to take advantage of the situation
cre>ted by the false reports, however, was
proved by the excellent demand for stocks
all along the line at the concessions, and the
lowest prices of the day were reached dur-
j L? the first five minutes, while only a few
stocks went below tbe opening figures. To
many, the reason for the drive at the
market yesterday through Pacific Mail,
Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific was
made plain when it was announced that the
Pacific Moil people had surrendered to Jay
Gould, and that his son George would be
come president of the company,
SCANDALOUS STORIES.
The stories circulated on the street in re -
gard to the firms doing business here, are
many of them scandalous in the extreme,
and some of them may imitate the example
of S. V. White, if they can collect evidence
enough against the disseminators of the
rumors. The market had no sooner opened
here than private advices from London
came, denying the stories sent early,
and tbe posting of a notice by
the Bank of England that it would not call
loans created a materially better feeling
there, which was soon reflected here by
purchases of foreign houses and a cessation
of the sales of abitrage houses. Tbe mone
tary situation here showed marked im
provement as the day wore along, and buy
ing assumed larger proportions immedi
ately, while the purchase of securities by
investors shows no diminution. The over
sold condition of the market was revoaled
by the high loauing rates for stock-, several
commanding a premium. Burlington com
manded 1 per cent, and Jersey Central, New
York Central and Lako Shore one-sixteenth
and Reading and Louisville and Nashville
ons-sixty-fdurth.
SHORTS RUSH TO COVER.
Tfce rush of the shorts to cover increased
in the afternoon, and, while dealings were
rot of large volume, the advance in prices
TO most pronounced, and before the deliv
ery hour there were few stocks which had
cot recovered all of the losses, both at the
opening and early trading. The reaction
in Jersey Central was most marked. After
dropping to 00 it rose to 100, though it
staled off to OS at tho close. Burlington and
Qiincy and Northern Pacific preferred
each showed about 5 per cent, difference be
tween the lowest of the forenoon and the
best figures, and all the leading stocks ad
vaucel in proportion. The upward move
ment ceased only w ith the close of business,
and ti e final prices were as a rule the best
of the dav, the close being active and
strong.
THE FINAL, CHANGES.
The final changes are quite irregular, but
t-e advances are largely in the majority,
ana the losses shown are very unimportant.

RUNB ON BANKS.
Depositors in Caviars Departments
Become Panicky.
New York, Nov. 19.—The uncertainty in
financial circles has caused an unsettled
feeling to possess the minds of those who
have deposits in the banks of the city, par
ticularly among the poorer people. The de
positors in the Citizens’ Savings Bank of the
City of New York, at Bowery and Canal
streets, besieged its doors to-day from
the opening hour until 6 o’clock, when
the doors were closed with difficulty. All
day long a crowd surrounded the bank and
clamored for admission. The officials paid
the demands of the depositors with as much
expedition as possible, but it was impossible
to pass over the money quickly enough to
satisfy tho applicants, who were laboring
under the impression that the bank
had failed. President Quintard, at
the close of the day. said that
about 4100,000 bad been paid out,
averaging about $75 to the depositor. He
said the hank was all right. He showed by
the books that the bank had a surplus of
$1,400,009. There was $1,360,000 subject to
check at any time. The assets amounted
to $13,419,841. About $19,000,000 wore due
depositors.
A RUN AT NEWARK.
Newark, N. J., Nov. 19. —The run on the
Howard Savings Bank continued to-day.
Most of those who withdrew their deposits
were poor and had become frightened at
the Wall street troubles. President Freling
huysen said the bank had sufficient money
to pay off all depositors.
G ALLAUDBT’S FAILURE.
His Liabilities About $700,000 and
His Assets Over $1,000,000.
New York, Nov. 19.—C. E. Miner, as
signee of P. AY. Gallaudet & Cos., bankers
at No. 2 Wall street, said to-day that he had
made a rapid but approximate statement of
tbe firm’s accounts, from which he thinks
it is safe to say that the assets on their face
value are something over $1,000,000, tiie
es imates being based, so far as the securi
ties are concerned, at their present de
pressed valuation. The liabilities, he be
lieves, will be something over $700,000.
Receiver of the North River Bank.
New York, Nov. 16. —Judge O’Brion of
the supreme court to-day appointed Fran
cis Higgins receiver of the North River
Bank. Mr. Higgins is a retired New York

trust companies are depositories for the
bank’s funds.
A Tea Dealer Assigns.

The General Committee Meets to
Make Arrangements.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 19.—The gen
eral committee to make arrangements for
the assembling of the ecumenical council of

to be fully represented in it.
THE REPRESENTATION.
On motion of Dr. Hamilton, it was re
solved that the representation for the
churches in America should be 300 dele
gates, and for the foreign conference 200
delegates. It was decided that the Ameri
can districts provide money for the pay
ment of the necessary expenses of their
delegates, and tor the entertainment of tho
foreign delegates. It was resolved to raise

the council. It was finally decided to hold
the council at Washington, beginning on
the third Wednesday of October, 1891.
SHOT BY A CRANK.
The Lady Organist of a New York
Church Badly Wounded.
New York, Nov. 19. —Jehu T. Davis last
night shot Miss Gladys Price, organist of
the Mariner’s church, as she was leaving
the church after service. Davis was arrested
and proved to be a dangerous crank, if not
absolute lunatic. He asserted that Miss
Price was his wife; that she was being pur
sued by ex-President Grover Cleveland,
and that he intended to kill ex-President
Cleveland. Miss Price had never spoken to
Davis in her life, and knew nothing of him
except that he sometimes attended the
Mariner’s church. To-day Davis was ar
raigned in court and remanded to await the
resalt of Miss Price’s Injuries. He rambled
la his talk and repeated his statement that
it was his intention to have shot ex-Presi
dent Cleveland. Miss Price will probably
recover, although she was shot through the
body.

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 20, 1890.
A RUSSIAN AGENT SLAIN.
HIS ASSASSIN BELIEVED TO BE A
NIHILIST.
His Valet First Suspected, but Later
Developments Turn the T de of Sus
picion in Another Direction The
Murder Probably Committed While
an Invitation Was Being Delivered.
Paris, Nov. 19.—Gen. Seliverskoff, the
Russian agent iu France, died to-day from
the effects of a bullet wound iu his head,
inflicted in a manner, which, at present, is
a mystery. Conflicting reports are current
as to how he was shot. One report says
that a stranger called upon him
yesterday at ibis residence at
the Hotel Bade, and that
half an hour after the visitors departed
Gen. Seliverskoff was found by his valet
lying unconscious in his room, shot in the
head.
Other reports state that the general re
ceived no visitors, that no weapon was
found, and that tbe furniture in the room
was not disarranged. Tho police at first at
tached some suspicion to the valet and he
was carefully watched.
A JUDICIAL INQUIRY.
The judicial authorities conducted an in
quiry iuto Gen. Seliverskoff’s death, aud
examined a number of servants. The police
became convinced that the valet had noth
ing to do with shooting his master, and
therefore withdrew their watch on him.
The valet was much attached to Gen. Sel
iverskoff. The evidence clearly points to
assassination.
A CLUE.
A clew was obtained tbisafternoon which
may lead to the detection of the murderer.
A few days ago M. Bernoff, owner of the
Franco-Prusaian rooms on Rue Royale,
engaged, as an employe, a Russian Pole
named Podieski. Pediesiti was entrusted bv
his employer with an invitation to a ball
which he was to deliver to Gen. Seliver
skoff. This enabled him to obtain access to
t e general’s room. Podleski has ab
sconded.
PODLESKI A NIHILIST.
The further authorities inquire into the
case the more the evidence tends to prove
that the murder was committed by a nihil
ist, and that it was au act of political ven
geance. The police believe that the murder
was committed while Gen. Seliverskoff was
answering the note on the invitation which
was delivered to him by Podleski, and that
Podleski left tho hotel unobserved. Pod
leski’s identity has been established as one
of the Paris colony of nihilists.

The Brother of a New Orleans Editor
Dies in the Revolution.
New Orleans, La.. Nov. 19.—Page M.
Baker, managing editor of the limes-
Eemocrat, received a cable dispatch yester
day from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, stating
his brother, Col. Alden H. Baker, was killed
on Nov. 14, while serving under President
Bogran. Col. Baker was a gallant ex
confederate s ddiar. and was 44 years of
age. He leaves a wife and three children,
who are now in this city. He
went to Honduras about five* years
ago and took charge of tho police depart
ment of tho republic. This position he
held until about six weeks ago, when the
revolution broke out. CoL Baker, Charles
D. Beyer, his successor; Bertie Civile, tele
graph manager, and Capt. Frank Imbxien,
all Americans, were on the Atlantic coast.
By forced marches they reached President
Bogran’s headquarters in four days, j uued
his army and were iu the lights which re
sulted in the overthrow of the revolution.
A GEORGIAN WOUNDED.
New Orleans. La., Nov. 19. Tho
Timet-De inoc ra t's Tegucigalpa, Hon
duras, special s-iys: "The insurrection of
Geu. Sanchez, which was quelled Saturday
by the recapture of the arsenal and tlie
capture and shooting of the insurgent chief,
re ulted in serious loss to tho
American colony, the gallant Col.
Alden H. Baker of New Orleans
being killed and Henry Smith of Georgia
wounded. The tragio events leading up to
this sad loss to the small number of Ameri
cans here have oeen brewing for gome time,
although no one suspected an insurrection
at the time it occurred.
STORY OF THE UPRISING.
Some weeks ago the Americans in Hon
duras, sixty iu Tegucigalpa, aud about
200 iu the republic, signed a paper agreeing
to support Gen. Bogran, incase of aueff rt
at revolution. Gen. Bogran was not at
the capital when the emeut occurred, but
as soon as tho news reached him he hastened
to the vicinity of Tegucigalpa, and began
to organize a force for its capture. Sol
diers from other departments were called
to his assistance, the people rose in his
favor, and tho Americans rallied to his
standard from alt points of the republic,
bringing with them their Winchesters.
On Nov. 13 the troops of the president
recaptured tho palace after a stubborn
fight, in which tho Americans bore a con
spicuous part. On Nov. 14 Fort Teona was
stormed. The arsenals and barra ks ware
carried by assault. On Nov. 15, Gen.
Sanchez escaped from the city, hat was
promptly pursued, captured and shot, thus
ending a brief, bloody and hopeless revolu
tion.
“Gen. Bogran, president of the republio,
has acknowledged, in a general order, his
thanks to the American volunteers for their
powerful support.”
READY FOR THE REDSKINS.
More Troops Now Massed Than 81neo
Geronlmo’a Day.
Washington, Nov. 19.— Gsb. Miles tele
graphs from Chicago to-day to tho adju
tant general of the army that the reports
to-day are of the same threatening tenor
from Pine Ridge. Troop? have been
ordored to that agency and Rosebud to give
protection, encourage the loyal and restrain,
if possible, the turbulent. The military are
now using every effort to restrain and
avoid an outbreak, or at least to bridge
over the time between this and severe cold
weather. It is believed that any other
course would precipitate hostilities. Thus
far no Indians have been reported as having
left their reservations with hostile intent.
GEN. MILES' COURSE.
Gen. Schofield telegraphed Gen. Miles as
follows: “I approve of the measures you
have taken in sending troops to the Rosebud
and Pine Ridge agencies, and also of vour
proposed efforts while giving the necessary
protection to the agencies, and restraining,
as far as possible, the turbulent Indians, to
avoid, if possible, an outbreak or any ac
tive hostilities for the present, until
the advancing season and further
preparations shall make tho operation of the
troops more sureiy effective, with less
danger to the surrounding settlements. The
cavalry and artillery at Fort Riley and all
other available troops will be placed under
your orders if au emergency seems to re
quire it.”
STRENGTH OF THE TROOPS.
A dispatch from tho Rosebud agency says
that by to-morrow the Indians at botli tho
Rosebud and Pine Ridge agencies will find
themselves confronted by tbe largest force
of troops that has ever been assembled in
tbe United States since the Geronlmo out
break in Arizona, and that confidence
has been re-established there. This
torco embraces eight companies
of infantry and six companies
of cavalry under Geo. Brooke. Seven com
panies of the Seventh infantry are in readi
ness to start from Fort Russell, at Chey
enne, Wyo., at an hour’s notice. They can
reacn Pine Ridge in forty hours. The Pine
Ridge and Rosebud agencies are only fifty
miles apart.
JULIA MARLOWE DYING.
Abscesses Form ip Her Throat After
Typhoid Fever.
Philadelphia, Nov. 19.—Miss Julia
Marlowe, the actress, is to-day lying at the
point of death, with the only hope for her
life depending on an almost hopeless surgi
cal operation. Miss Marlowe was taken
sick with typhoid fever three weeks ago
and last Friday passed the crisis of the dis
ease in safety, and but for complications
would by this time have been in a fair way
to recovery. Sunday the glands in her
throat began to swell and abscesses formed,
from whioh blood poisoning set in, and put
her in imminent danger of death. Her
physicians have hesitated to operate upon
the abscesses, as in her weakened condition
they considered that she would not be able
to survive the operation. This afternoon at
3 o’clock they will hold a consultation, and,
as she will inevitably die if the operation is
not performed, will probably decide to open
the abscesses, although her chances of living
through tbe operation are small.
A PENSION DEFICIENCY.
Forty Million Dollars More Needed

Washington, Nov. 19.—Commissioner
Raum has completed his estimates of the
probable deficiency in the amount of the

A BIG RUSH FOR LYMPH.
BERLIN PAPERS COMPLAIN THAT
IT IS BEING EXHAUSTED.
The Professor Says the Government
Must Prepere It -The Tageblatt Com
plains Because the Great Scientific
Establishments and Hospitals are
Not Furnished a Supply.
Berlin, Nov. 19. —As a reward for his
services iu the interests of medical science,
Kuiperor William will probably confer a
title of nobility upon Prof. K ch.
The professor states that tho government
must prepare tho lymph used in the euro of
tuberculosis.
DOCTORS INDORSE THE DISCOVERER.
To-uior.ow’s number of tho German
Medical HVr kly will contain an article
signed by Drs. Bergmanu, Fraentzell aud
William Lealy, aud Stall Surgeon Coehl, in
which they declare that, after experiments
in many different coses they are prepared
to fully indorse Prof. Ivoch’s statement re
garding his remedy.
THE STOCK OF LYMPH EXHAUSTED.
Sonia of the evening papers warn the
public against the illusions entertained by
many regarding the efficacy of Prof. Koch’s
remedy. They also complain that the stock
of lymph is being exhausted.
The Tageblatt says that Prof. Koch’s
procedure so far is open to severe criticism,
because he has only given his lymph to a
few collaborators whom hccould thorougnly
trust to follow his instructions, w hile the
great scientific establishments and hospitals
are excluded from the lieneflts of tho dis
covery.
THE DISSATISFACTION JUSTIFIABLE.
Tho Tayeblatt considers that the dissatis
satisfactiou among medical men and many
patients who are anxious to submit to the
treatment is quite justified, and declares
that the present arrangements must be
altered.
The demand for the Koch syringes is so
great that the manufacturers aro unable to
fill their orders.
Prof. Koch asserts that recurrence of
tuberculosis uftor treatment by his method
is extremely rare.

ERIN’S CAUSE FOR FORBEARANCE.
United, Ireland says; “We do not desire
to condone Air. Parnell’s grievous si i, but
from Ireland, which he has served go long
and faithfully, with such dear devotion aud
Buch magnificent success, ho Jmay at least
look for generous forbearance in the hour
of his trial. To his praise be it spoken that
he has not attempted to shield himself by
perjury. He yielded to a temptation to
which many great and wise men have suc
cumbed since and before the days
of King David. He has atoned by
what to a man of his proud "and
high spirit must have been indued bittor
aud humiliating, but to tho ooercioni.t
clamor for his dismissal from the Irish
leadership, Ireland’s answer Is a sharp and
decisive, ‘No.’ Irishmen huvo no mission
to judge his private life. Loave that to his
conscience and to his God, who weighs the
teraptationjwith the offense.”

BALFOUR ON THE STUMP.
CONSERVATIVE PAPERS FULL OF
COMMENDATION.
Seven Thousand People at the Grinsby
Meeting—The Secretary Expresses
the Pie mure He Takes in Answering
the Calumnies of His Foes—A Rap at
Gladstone.
L No ix, N'ov. 19.—Secretory Balfour’s
speech at Grimsby last night is given a
prominent place in all the conservative
newspapers, and is s ron ;ly c unman lad by
them. The Irish secretary met with au en
thusiastic reception from 7.000 persons
present at the me,titg. After speaking ot
tho regular meeting Mr. Belfrur addressed
an overflow meeting. He said that ho had
been assailed with a degree and
kind of calumny unexampled in
English history in any political
controversy not recently co: nected with
Ireland. He continued: “I have never
shrunk from meeting those calumnies face
to face, aud I count them my happiest
moments when, instead of saying these
things behind my back they say them to
my face in the House of Commons, where I
can contradict them. But whether they
say them in tho commons or through the
mouths of illustrious politicians like Messrs.
Morley and Gladstone, or whether through
tho obscure chaunel of a paid lecturer, or
the itinerant commoner, I am prepared to
meet them.
HIS OBJECT THE GOOD OF ALU
"Both in and out of the House of Com
mons I have acted with the single-minded
view of benefiting not only the empire, but
the nopulation before which I am habitual
ly held up as an object of common contempt
aud execration. Irish politicians hnvo too
long been in tho habit of regarding every
misfortune and weakness of Ireland at an
other weapon to use against the govern
ment. Irish distress does not present ilsolf
to them as affording an occa
sion on whioh they might impartially
connidor the best method of dealing with
the condition of the people, but as anew
means of setting class against class and
anew | occasion for the issuing of a mani
festo. Any man who suggests that the
diflic ulty to be dealt with lg a rent difficulty
shows either Ignorance or bad faith. If
every shilling of rent in the congested dis
tricts were abolished, the problem would
not be the less menacing.”
A MEETING AT SOUTHPORT.
Mr. Balfour addressed an enthusiastic
mooting at Southport this morn
ing und received a cordial wel
come, He said that he wusti becom
ing tired of the dreary and melancholy task
of tracking tho calumnies and misstate
ments r t his opponents. Since ho left Ire
land it hud been his painful duty to plough
through the Midlothian rhetorical cam
paign. He found the Mitchellstown proces
sion and other ancient features
more decrepit and wrinkle 1, and
with more false teeth than ever, but they
still had their old recognizable shapes. Ha
would not make any further reference to
Mitchellstown, but would let Mr. Gladstone
go on remembering as long as he pleased an
incident which had lieen urgued and re
argued oveu to nausea.
GLADSTONE'S NOVELTIES.
Coming to Mr. Gladstone’s few novelties,
Mr. Balfour said he regretted to liml him
oven more careless of accuracy than he was
two years ago. Ho characterized Mr. Glad
stone’s reference to tho police, land cultiva
tion and landlordism in Ireland ns extraor
dinary fallacies and amazing fictions. And
while Mr. Gladstone was pursuing his wild
enreor of improvisation here, Messrs. Dillon
aud O'Brien were following ano lees wild
career of misstatement in America. Mr.
O’Brien declared that 50,CfJ0 persons hail
been imprisoned under the crimes act, and
that, a man had been sent to jail tor merely
touching his bat to him.
TOLD TO EXTRACT DOLLARS.
Theso short stories were concocted for the
American market, and they were not ex
cluded by the McKinley tjriff bill.
Their purpose was to extract dollars from
credulous audiences, and in this they suc
ceeded. The course of events In Ireland,
could tho American people but know It,
afforded a most striking commentary on
the tales with which these two distinguished
fugitives from justice were regaling them.
Mr. O’Brion had called him an
unmitigated liar, but he must repeat that
all the pluy acting on the yacht in which
Mr. O’Brien fled was unnecessary. He
might have sailed away in comfort, because
tbe crown was absolutely powerless to
arrest a man until he bad broken his bail
by not appearing in court. Mr. Balfour
concluded with a general denunciation of
the tactics of the National League and a
justification of the policy of the govern
ment.
