THE BOND PANIC.
Sqaaring Accounts and Clearing Away
the Financial Wreek-Jay Gould
10 be arrested-Incidents

New YORK, November 25.-I,his af-
ternoon there was an order sent into the
stock Board TO buy four thousand shares
of North western, for account OF Drake
] Brothers, by Garland, Martin d Co. Mr..
/ Drake claims not 70 be responsible, as
he only cleared stock for II. n. Smith,
who had borrowed stock from Garland,
Martin & Co, upon which he paid sixty
cents. Joslyn, Bache a Co. sent tneir
check for the full amount for account
of Smith TO Drake Brothers, and they
Drake Brothers) paid Garland, Martin
4 Co. their check for the amount, thus
only clearing stock for both parties.
There was some excitement created
on the street to-day on the report that
jay Gould would be rearrested at the
suit Of the Erie Directors, but no move
ment against him transpired.
Judge Fancher to-day, on the appii-
cation Of T. q. Sherman, issued an or
der against Erie, 10 show cause why the
order againstJay Gould should not be va
Gated. An order was also granted 70 take
the deposition Of Horace r. CLARK, TO be
used on the motion. Jay Gould has
made an affidavit in which be denies
Peter II. Wats0n's and ii. N. Smiths
affidavit in general terms, and states
that as to all the matters Of fact in
Wats0n's affidavit they are made to ap-
pear in a false light BY the suppression
Of other facts which must have been
known to Smith, from whom Watson |
obtained all his information. Watson |
knew that the Erie Company had grant |
ed him release at a meeting at which |
neither deponent nor Fisk was
present. and purposely suppressed |
the fact that, prior to and at
the time of his arrest, he was /
actively dealing in Northwestern to ad- I
vanee its price, and that parties TO /
whose management this action was
committed were engaged in depressing |
the price, and that plaintiffs attorney, |
under the encouragement Of Smith,
Drew, Traverse and other spectators, !
thought to have deponent held 20 bailin
ninety-seven thousand dollars, under
the impression that he could not pro- /
cure such bail and would be compelled |
to remain under arrest; that a panic
would have been produced upon the
market, and he still believes that such |
a result was contemplated by the attor-
ney in the action and by the others he
named, and that thus the Erie railroad
would never have been able to recover
anything from him if anything was due.
