A PANIC IN WALL STREET.
Eiciting Scenes Which Recall the Black
Frisay oi '72.
Heavy Failures Among the Stock Oper¬
ators—The Horst Is Oven
A New York special of Friday says:
This was the worst day Wall street has
seen in this week of woe. Hopes in¬
dulged in Thursday evening that the
panic had run its course were prema¬
ture. The stock market opened amid
great excitement and with prices about
the same as Thursday’s closing. It
was very soon apparent that many
stocks must be sold out regardless of
price. The discrimination of the
banks against certain stocks, espec¬
ially Industrials as collaterals in loans,
has compelled their holders to throw
them overboard.
The slaughter of industries was aw¬
ful, and it was very quickly seen that
there must be more failures. No house
largely interested in these stocks could
be expected to remain solvent.
A PANIC IN THE AIR.
By 9 :30 o’clock the galleries of the
stock exchange began to fill. Thurs¬
day’s exciting events had attracted
everyone’s attention, and the public
had awakened to the fact that a panic
was in the air. On tho floor at 9 :50
o’clock, a broker yelled: “What will
tne prico of cordage be?” and the cry
echoed back and forth through the
galleries. Everybody was aroused and
some were in danger of tumbling over
tho railing to tho floor beneath in their
endeavor to get a view of the cordage
crowd, which was swelling in numbers
every Becond. Pandemonium was im¬
minent, when, at 10 o'clock a wooden
mallet fell and with it three sharp blows
upon the chairman’s desk, the market
opened.
EVERYBODY GONE CRAZY.
“Nineteen for cordage,” came on
the instant, and the sale of 5,000 shares
at that figuro was, in a moment, re¬
corded on the tickers. The sugar crowd,
St. Paul crowd and Chicago gas crowd
were having a high old time, For
spectators, their interests lay with the
cordago crowd, which was most con¬
spicuous in point of numbers, and on
account of greater demonstrations with
voice and pads waved aloft.
There were many more ladies pres¬
ent in the galleries than on the day
before, and wild pushing and yelling
of tho brokers below stirred them up
to such a high state of excitement that
many of them cried out in very sym¬
pathy.
THE PANIC COMES.
The panic already foreshadowed at
last last dropped out full-fledged, The
sight became indescribable. The crowd
swayed backward and forward and it
looked for n moment as though tho
rush below was to be reproduced
above.
“DEACON” white’s FAILURE.
Tlio excitement on tho stock ex¬
change was most intense, and prices
fell so rapidly that it w-as a difficult
matter to keep track of them. Tho
announcement of the suspension of S.
V. White added to the general demon-
stations which seemed to have set in.
BIO DROFS IN PRICES.
American sugar which opened at 85
had dropped to 63 at 11 o’clock. Chi¬
cago gas fell from 74 to 65, general
electric from 86 to 66. National Cor¬
dage 19 to 18 1-4. Whiskey trust from
22 1-4 to 21 1-4; lead from 33 to 28.
United States rubber from 45 to 40.
Western Union from 83 to 81 1-4 and
Manhattan from 126 to 120.
The appointment of receivers for
National Cordage at a late hour
Thursday night was the occasion for
further break in the preferred stock
Friday morning nt 45. The common
opened at 9 to 21, five thousand shares
changing hands at this price.
General electric was another weak
spot, and in the first few minutes of
business the stock broke five points to
seventy-five. The fact that certain
people have thought it necessary to
issue a.statement that the company is
all right is viewed with suspicion in
some quarters. At 10:15 a. m. stock
was selling nt 69. Sugar was also at¬
tacked and broke to 76, while Chicago
gas dropped to 60. Manhattan sold
down Jj> 1-2 to 1.21. Considering
the panic in the industrial group, the
general list held fairly well.
DEACON WHITE FAILS AGAIN.
S. Y. White A Co. announced their
suspension at 10:45 o’clock on account
of the terrific drop in Cordage and
Chicago gas.
The failure of Ferris it Kimball was
announced on stock exchange shortly
after 12 o’clock. At that hour the
nervous tension in financial circles
showed no signs of relaxing. The
failure of S. Y. White caused a fresh
outbreak of the selling fever. Barely,
if ever, in the history of the Btock ex¬
change were there such wild fluctua¬
tions witnessed.
LONDON BUYING HEAVILY.
Seen at a distance of 3,000 miles, the
disposition had a different aspect.
While our own brokers were in a dazed
condition and throwing over their
stocks regardless of prices, foreign
houses were quietly at work picking
up the dividend payers. Their pur
chases were heavy enough to demoral¬
ize the foreign exchanges. It was es¬
timated that up to noon London’s
purchases of securities in the local
market aggregated fully sixty thousand
shares, consisting of St. Paul, Louis¬
ville and Nashville, Wabash preferred
and other interior national favorites.
Money at this time was close and stock
exchange borrowers were o’clock' payinglland
12 per cent. At 1 the battle
had been on three hours and many of
those in the early engagement had gone
outside They heard to the how sutler's"camp London for food.
and other
centers were lying back in comparative
safety and absorbing the fruits of their
sacrifices.
A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
The result was a change for the bet¬
ter in the stock market and a steadier
tone characterized the next dealings.
The foreign buying was felt inside to
have been on a heavy scale and the
New Yorkers saw that European pur¬
chasers had certainly picked up some
‘
very cheap stocks. The example set
by the foreigners and the confidence
they displayed in our securities re¬
vived the drooping courage of home
operators and a great rally resulted.
At 1:80 o’clock p. m. money sold off
to 18 to 20 *
per cent and the pressure
against the market was lifted and just
previous to 2 o’clock money on call
fell to 6 per cent, owing to the heavy
offerings of funds by commission
houses. As a result, the market for
stocks became comparatively calm and
brokers enjoyed the only real resting
spell they have had during the week.
Indication pointed then to the fact
that considerable amounts of stock
had been taken up and paid for.
Up to 2 o’clock Friday evening the
sales of listed stocks were 444,970
shares and of unlisted stocks 201,851
shares. At that hour the market was
6omewhat feverish, although some stocks
were actually above Thursday night’s
closing.
At the office of Ferris <fc Kimbill,
whose failure was announced at 12 :45
o’clock, it was stated that no statement
of the condition of the firm would be
givdn out until later in the afternoon.
The shrinkage in Industrials carried
down the concern.
A feature of the market for railway
and miscellaneous bonds was a break
in security corporation 6’s to 82. The
Inst previously reported sale was 96.
This is the collateral company that was
organized to finance for the National
Cordage. The failure of B. L. Smith
& Co. Thursday brought out these
bonds,
The following stocks were 6old out
under the rule at the New York ex¬
change Friday presumably for S. V.
White: 2,100 American sugar, 700 At¬
chison, 300 Cordage, 100 Lead, 100
Erie, 200 New York and New England
and fifty Western Union.
AFTER THE BATTLE.
After the gavel had fallen and the
battle was over for the day the men
went away into quieter spots and
looked the situation over from a dis¬
tance. In well-informed financial
quarters, the feeling grew that the
worst has been seen in Wall street, and
from this time on matters will im¬
prove. On this theory, which had, to
some extent, obtained before the close,
and on the fact that certain houses
whose names had been named as being
in the storm of the early part of the
day, pulled through all right, it was
seen that there had been a revolution
in sentiment and prices bounded up
almost as rapidly as they had dropped
early in the day.
WHITE EXPECTS TO BESUME.
Mr. White says that he expects to
resume payments at once. It is stated
that the Havemeyers, the wealthy
sugar men, have but up money enough
—$1,000,000—to place Mr. White on
his feet again. His losses, it is said,
are in sugar and Manhattan Elevated
stocks. He has a large amount of
sugar privileges out on which the losses
are heavy.
WILL OPEN ON SUNDAY.
The World’s Fair Gates Will Not Close
on That Day.
A Chicago special of Friday says:
Jackson park will be open on next
Sunday, and the payment of 50 cents
will entitle any member of the great
public to enter just as it has for the
past six months. There will be no
formal action taken and there will be
no official announcement made, but
the gates will be open.
Superintendent Tucker, of the bu¬
reau of admissions, understands that
bis force is expected to work Sunday
and lias made arrangements according-
ingly. It 1ms been the rule in the past
to have the gates open on Sunday, and
as there has been no order to make a
change, Tucker will continue as usual.
THE SAME AS ANY OTHER DAY.
One gentleman, intimately con¬
nected with the government of the
fair, said:
“Yes, the grounds will be opened
next Sunday. I just had a talk with
Superintendent Tucker, and I know’
that he expects to have his ticket sell¬
ers and gate-keepers on duty that day.
“He has had no instruction to close
the gates on Sunday, and his last or¬
ders given several weeks ago, were to
admit the public on Sunday the same
as any other day.”
ALL EXCEPT MACHINERY HALL.
He holds, and of course he will be
upheld in his opinion, that he has no
authority to close the gates until he is
officially instructed to do so.
The entire force of guards will be
on duty and tbe public will not be al¬
lowed to enter any of the buildings but
the horticultural hall and green houses,
and will then wait for developments.
The parks will be open every Sun¬
day during the period of the exist¬
ence of the fair, and in a few weeks
exhibit buildings will be open, but
the machinery will never be turned on
Sunday.
A CURT ANSWER
Was That Sent Secretary Gresham by
Governor Pennoyer.
A special from Portland, Oregon,
says: The following telegrahic cor¬
respondence passed between Secretary
of State Gresham and Governor Pen¬
noyer WaebiiiKiou, Tuesday:
the May 3.—Governor Pennoyer,
capitol, Salem, Ore.,: Ap lareutly reliable
reports indicate dangt r of violence to the Chi¬
nese n hen the exclusion act takes effect, and
the president larneatly hopes you wilt employ
all lawful means for their protec ion in Oregon.
W. Q. Grfsham
Governor Pennoyer immediately
sent the following reply:
Naiem, Ore.. May 3 .—10 W. Q. Gresham,
Washington, D. C.: I will attend to my busi-
ncs»: Let the president attend to his-
Stlvrster Pennoter, Governor.
Governor Pennoyer, speaking of the
matter said:
“The Gresham telegram is an insult
to Oregon. I will enforce the law of
the state and the president should en¬
force the laws of congress. It was
with poor grace for the president to
ask me to enforce the state laws, while
he, without warrant, suspends the ex-
elusion law.”
Specie Movements.
The imports of specie at the port of
New York for the past week were
$42,411, of which $33,265 were gold
and $9,146 silver. The exports of
specie from the port of New York for
the week $1,237,471,of which $528,184
was gold and $709,287 silver. Of this
amount $508,102 gold, and $686,698,
silver, went to Europe, and $20,082
gold, and $22,5S9 silver went to South
America.

WHITECAPISM
Termination ol tbe Famous Mississippi
Wbite Cap Trials.
Governor Stone Upholds Judge (hris-
man in Enforcing the law.
A special from Brookhaven, Miss.,
says: Whitecapism recieved its death
blow in south Mississippi Monday.
Since the mob came to town last Thurs¬
day for the purpose of liberating the
indicted white caps in jail, and an at¬
tempt to assaissnate the judge of the
court when he threw himself in the
breach, the community has been in a
fever of excitement and -a fresh assault
was expected at any moment. The sheriff
deemed it best to reinforce the citizen
soldiery by telegraphing Governor
Stone, for two companies of state
troops. As Monday was the day for
which the white caps trials had been
set, it was expected on all sides that
things would reach a crisis. Numer¬
ous reports had been received that the
attack would be renewed just before
daylight or during the day. Governor
Stone who hurried to the scene of the
trouble when the first outbreak occur¬
red, had promised to return and ad¬
dress the people in support of law and
order.
Contrary to general expectation, no
outbreak occurred during the night
and at an early hour people began to
arrive from the country in large num¬
bers. The urban population were al¬
ready up and on the alert, and by 9
o’clock one of the largest crowds ever
seen in town was assembled, Tbe
courthouse and jail were heavily guard¬
ed until tbe hour of opening court and
no one was allowed to pass pickets ex¬
cept persons connected with the court
and the military.
At 10 :30 o’clock the order was given
to allow the crowd to enter the court¬
house, and in a little while, all availa¬
ble putting room was completely filled,
while hundreds had to remain on the
outside. A picked guard of half a
dozen men with Winchesters and big
revolvers stood at the right of the
judge’s bench facing the audience.
Judge Chrisman, who has been the
central figure of the occasion all the
way through, stood near the entrance
to the courtroom and with easy grace
and calm demeanor helped the sheriff
to direct the crowd to the seats. At
length, Judge Chrisman announced
that before the regular business of the
court was proceeded with, Governor
Stone, who had come during the
night, would deliver his address.
GOVERNOR STONE TALKS.
The governor said he had come as
the chief executive officer of the com¬
monwealth to render whatever assist¬
ance he could by his presence and
counsel in vindicating and upholding
the majesty of the law. This he was
determined to do at cost. He wanted
the lawless element of Lincoln county
to understand that he, the governor,
and the whole law abiding element of
Mississippi, stood at Judge Chrisman’s
back and would render him all needed
assistance in bringing the guilty to
justice. He exjiressed the utmost con¬
fidence in Judge Chrisman’s integrity,
judgment and mercy, and would give
him all needed support in the discharge
of his official duties.
At the conclusion of Governor stone’s
speech Judge Chrisman ascended the
bench and called the white cap eases.
About two hundred witnesses had been
summoned, principally for the defense
and most of them were found to be pre¬
sent. The counsel for the defense
were loth to go to trial and first made
a motion for a change of venue on the
ground of undue prejudice against the
accused, but this was also a motion for
a continuance of the cases until next
term.
FLEAS OF GUILTY AND SENTENCES.
But few realized the sensation that
was about to follow. The attorney for
the defense came forward and announc
ed to the judge that six of the nine
prisoners who had been placed on trial
wished to plead guilty. The state’s
attorneys stepped forward and said that
he was willing to accept the pleas
and would enter nol pros as to
the remaining three, as the testimony
did not justify their further prosecu¬
tion. Judge Chrisman called the men
before him who had plead guilty and
said that he would not accept their
plea unless it was made in entire good
faith and not under the idea that they
could not get justice if the trial pro¬
ceeded. Each one declared that he
was acting in perfect sincerity and
good faith, and begged for the mercy
of the court.
Judge Chrisman then pronounced
the sentence of two years on each in
the penitentiary, but promised that if
their friends would desist from other
lawlessness and conducted themselves
properly he would use his influence
with the governor to have the sentence
shortened after they had served one
year. The full limit of the law would
have been ten years. All the convicted
men have families except one and are
poor. Their wives and children were
in court and the sobs and scenes which
followed were heartrending and moved
many stern men to tears.
This breaks the back of whitecapism
in Lincoln county. Many members of
the mob have already signified their
intention of coming in next Friday
and pleading guilty and throwing
themselves on the mercy of the court.
All troops were withdrawn Monday
evening and things have assumed their
normal condition.
GERMAN ARMY BILL
Defeated and the Reichstag Dissolved.
Great Excitemeut.
A special cable dispatch from Berlin
says: The army bill was rejected in
the Reichstag Saturday by a vote of
210 against 162 in favor of the bill.
The rescript signed by the Kaistr dis¬
solving the Reichstag was immediately
promulgated and the Reichstag was
dissolved. Immediately upon the re¬

CARLYLE HARRIS EXECUTED.
End of a Most Unusual Murder Case
at Sew York.
Carlyle W. Harris was executed by
electricity in the death house of the
prison at Sing Sing, N. Y., at 12.40
o’clock Monday afternoon. The exe¬
cution wns a perfect success.
The death warrant was formally
read to Harris at 8.30. He displayed
indifference and its reading did not
noticeably affect him. He showed no
signs of breaking down and appeared
cheerful after the reading of the death
warrant. At 11 o’clock the witness
a&sembled in the warden’s office.
There were twenty-seven—seven phy¬
sicians and twenty newspaper men,
state officials and friends of the warden.
Warden Durstin, at 12.16, announced
that everything was ready, and invited
the witnesses down stairs.
Harris was brought in looking pale.
He paused an instant on the threshold
and looked over the assembled wit¬
nesses. He walked entirely alone, and
when the guard pointed to the chair,
without even a look of curiosity at the
thing which was to end his career, he
dropped into the seat. As he did so
he said he had a word to say if the
warden would permit. The warden
asked what he wished to say. Harris,
in a weak voice, as though each word
cost him a powerful effort, said: * ‘I
have no further reservation to make.
I desire to say that I am absolutely in¬
nocent.” These were his last words.
After uttering them lie seemed reliev¬
ed and settled back in the chair to
which his legs had already been strap¬
ped by the two guards. The electrode
was placed on his head and the wires
attached to the two electrodes.
There was an instant’s pause, while
every man in the room held his breath.
A sharp click from the lever, and the
form in the chair straightened up till
the straps creaked, and the death deal¬
ing current of 1,760 volts passed
through the body of Carlyle W. Har-
ris.
THE CRIME OF HARRIS.
Mary Helen Neilson Potts was a
beautiful girl of seventeen years, re¬
siding with her parents, who were peo-
2 >le of wealth, at Ashburry Park, New
York city. At the time of her death
she was attending the Comstock Fin¬
ishing school, on Forty-first street.
She w r as considered the belle of the
school, and had that light heart and
charming nature which won the affect¬
ion of teachers and schoolmates alike.
On Saturday night, January 31, 1891,
she was invited to attend an evening
concert, to which other scholars in¬
tended going. She agreed to make
one of the party, but at dinner time
complained that she was so tired that
she thought she would go to her room
and rest rather than accompany the
others. She kissed them all good
night, and that was the last time any
of them saw her again clothed in her
right mind.
BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.
At 10:30 p. m., two of the girls,
who occupied the same room with Miss
Potts, returned from the concert and,
bursting into the room, aroused the
sleepy Helen from what they thought
was a deep sleep to tell her of the good
time they had enjoyed. She aroused
herself drowsily from her sleep, and
stretched forth her hand as if still in
the land of dreams, said to them:
“Oh, I have had such beautiful
dreams! such beautiful dreams! I could
dream on forever!” Then she sank
back upon her pillow and let her eyes
close slowly, dropping again into the
blissful dreams of death. Her
companions gave her a good night
kiss and gently folded the arm extend¬
ed over the edge of the bed, and then
proceeded to prepare for bed. It was
half an hour before they were ready to
turn off the light, and just as the room
was plunged in darkness they w r ere
startled by moans, which came
from the corner where Helen’s bed
was. A light was struck, and tho two
frightened girls bent over their com¬
panion’s flushed face. She was toss¬
ing on her pillow and nervously fin¬
gering the lace edges like one who is
preparing for death. Thoroughly
frightened, the girls rushed down the
hall to where Miss Day, the principal,
slept and aroused her. Miss Day im¬
mediately rang for messengers, and in
a short time three physicians, Drs.
Fowler, Baur and Kerr, were striving
with all their skill and might to save the
young life. For eleven hours they
worked upon the dying girl, while her
companions looked on with frightened
looks and streaming eyes, but to no
purpose, as the rosy cheeks paled into
gray, and finally took on the grim,
blue tinge with eyes that shrunk into
the head as if the child had suddenly
added a century to her age; at last
they gave up in despair and sadly
watched her pass away into the sleep
that knows no awakening.
The suspicion that Harris had killed
the girl did not arise immediately,
their relations being unknown at the
time. The fact soon developed that
they had become secretly married,
that Harris had grown weary of her,
and being a medical student with some
knowledge of drugs had administered
poison to her under the pretense that
it was a harmless medicine.
EIGHT-HOUR CELEBRATIONS.
Great Annual Demonstration in Lon¬
don by the Workingmen.
The annual eight-hour demonstra¬
tion of London workingmen was made
Sunday in Hyde park. The weather
was fine and all the proceedings were
conducted with exceptional enthu-
siasm. All the principal unions had
appointed delegates to take part in the
procession. These delegates met on
the Thames embankment, were formed
in line and marched through
cheering crowds of laborers to
the park, where they were di-
vided among tbe audiences at the
numerous speakers’ platforms. The
entire open space in the park was
filled with men and women. At twenty-
one plat'or us resolutions were passed
in favor of a legal eight-hour day for
every trade which voted for it. At
every meeting collections were taken
for the Hull strikers. The most nota¬
ble speech of the day was made by
John Burns. The eight-hour move-
meunt, he said, was making rapid
progress. The success of the eight-
hour bill for. miners was an evidence
of progress as well as aft evident e of
further success,

A Curious Fiddle.
One of the queerest musical instru¬
ments ever known, and perhaps the
only one of its kind, has reaohod here
from Greenville, East Tennessee. The
queer instrument is a violin made from
a gourd, and it is thirty-nine years
old.
The strangest, weirdest music that
ever was heard comes from it. The
tones are fine and soft and float on the
air a* from the land of spirits. James
Anderson Taylor, governor of Tennes¬
see, and uncle of the famous Taylor
boys who fiddled their way through
Tennessee during a recent gubernato¬
rial campaign, used to play on it. He
made music from the gourd fiddle at
the reception to Andrew Johnson by
the people of Greenviile, his native
town, just after he was made president
of the United States. He played the
“Old Virginia Reel,” the “Fisher*’
Hornpipe” and many other things, and
the president “hoed it down” with
everybody present and enjoyed it more
than he could tell.
The gourd grew at Johnsville in the
said state, and it, with the neck, which
is of poplar, is sixteen inches long.
The keys are common violin keys, the
strings catcut and the sounding board
of leather from a stitch down shoe,
while the bridge is of poplar. The
berw is of a dark wood, and the hairs
black, being plucked from a horse’s
tail. The older the fiddle grows the
better it is, so H. C. Atkinson says,
who owns it.—San Francisco Exam¬

Presidents Who Married Widows.
Three of the first four presidents of
the United States married widows.
The wife of John Quincy Adams, who
received her education in England,
created a great sensation in the na¬
tion’s capital. The wife of Martin
Yan Buren, Hannah Hoes, lived but a
short time after her marriage, dying
about seventeen years before her hus¬
band’s election to the presidency.
President Tyler’s second wife was an
ardent Roman Catholic, and Mrs.
Polk was a calm mannered Presbyte¬
rian. Mrs. Millard Fillmore had been
a school teacher, and the courtship was
carried on under diffienltses, as
lover could rarely afford the expense
of a journey to see his fiance. Mrs.
Franklin Pierce was the devout daugh-
ter of a clergyman and made the White
House a center for charitable and
religious enterprises .—Detroit Free

Life in Hawaii.
Of t he people of the Hawaiian Islands
it can be truly said that they are the
most amiable, careless, irresponsible
people in the world. The nearest ap¬
proach to work of any of them is in
their employment as cowboys on the
stock ranches. They are wonderfully
expert horsemen and also become adept
in the use of the lasso. A native man,
or a native woman for that matter, is
never so happy as when on a spirited
horse, going at a hard gallop, decked
out with flowery leis and streamers of
bright colored cloth, in screaming con¬
versation with a whole troop of com¬
panions. They ride their horses to
death, they kill their babies with neg¬
lect and improper food, and yet it can¬
not be said that there is a grain of con¬
scious cruelty in their nature.
Thejre is no record of any violence
ever done by them to a woman. A
white woman is absolutely safe among
them without any protection and is
exempt from insult or even disrespect
beyond wliat may come from an uncon¬
scious usage of etiquette. Many of
them pass the greater part of their
lives squatted on woven grass mats be-
fore the doors of their huts chatting
inconsequentially and eating their meal
of fox when the inclination comes to
them.—YS ashington Star.
Odors and Tastes in Milk.
Odors and taates in milk may be pro-

directly after milking, he may look

eaten. If, however, the trouble ap¬
pears later, and continues to grow
worse, the cause is some form of fer¬
mentation needing greater care in the
management of the dairy or the barn.
