Shortly after six O'Clock last evening HERALD

had an engagement which required his i'm

According to instructions the operation
was proceeded with, and Judging from
the sprightlin ess OF Mr.. Clarks answer 1t
was by no means painful one. Mr.. Clark was
making his tonsoral toilet when the reporter
opened his query batteries. The fire did not seem
to interrupt his operatlo ons, and between the

the man at the glass;

When the stupcndous corner had become oun
acc0Dapit in Wall street yesterday, brokers con-
grcgated together in familiar resorts and spoke
OF the corners OF yore, when the financial
world was upheaved by Others equally,
and in some cases still more tremendous
than that OF yesterday. They referred to
the old "corner'' OF many years ago, when Wall
street was yet In It's infancy, OF the Philadelphia
and Raritan Bay Railroad, at the time when the
Camden and Amboy Railroad was anxious to buy
up the road. And little later, the corne In
Orange, Worcester and Stonington, when as well ~
memory serves US, Morris Ketchum, the well
known banker, preferred to vacate his seat In the
stock Exchange to buying up the shares at an IN
nated price to meet his 'shorts.n II was at timo
when stock specuations had not been msde
legal by process OF legislative enactments, ano
there was nothing to prevent Ketchum from adopt
ing this course. The famous

took place In 1885, when a clique In Newark ana

tion at thirty or forty per cent below par. lus

ing but the impossbiiity OF making anything BY
such extortionate figures was In the way to pre-
vent the victorious bulls from pushing up the
stock yet another 100 per cent. Such were the
fears that now took possession OF the crowd that
surged to and FRO, while some men jumped upon
the chairs and gazed,
PANIC IC-STRICKEN,
at the scene. Nader and madder waxed the
struggle One sanguine individual, who had found
courage TO sell hundred shares short at lis, dis
covered In less than Ave minutes that the market
had gone four thousand dollars against him, and in
Q transport OF terror closed out at that figure. BY
doing so he saved another thirty-hve hundred
dollars, for less than ten minutes afterwards, as
the clock struck four, wild bids Of 90 were heard
flying eagerly around the hall. After that the
crowd dispersed but for the next hour there was
anxious consultation In many an ONCE, and
gloomy were the prognosticatiOns OF the morrow
But 1t is to be hoped that these will not be realized

and just as the gong was about to ring for adjourn
ment
200 WAS BID,
which ellcted one or two sales, and was still bid
for more as tine Stock Exchange closed on the re-
luctantly departing and highly excited crowd.
There were, OF course, failures, as II was after
banking hours when the rise assumed such
enormous proportions; but there will doubtless
be heavy losses in the morning to settle, should the
pool insist on keeping the price at the standard
reached tonight. On this point there are again
great many different and conflicting
opinions. In some parts OF the street
the conviction is entertained that the
rise OF 105 per cent this afternoon was the work OF
the 'shorts themselves in their desperate efforts
to cover, and that 1t against the policy OF the
Jay Gould clique to force an advance, which, ike
the slaughter OF the hen that was
LAYING GOLDEN EGGS,
was certain to defeat the object Of the corner by
suddenly bankruptng all the "shorts." On the
other hand, it is said that when the 'bears' ar
rested Jay Gould they thought that they would
thereby demoralize the ''bull' clique and scatter
the stock, in revenge for which strategy
the "bulsn put on the screws and ran
the price up to 200. II Is only fair
to say, however, that the brokers operating
for the "bulls ascaim the latter course, although
it may have been the result OF orders to other
brokers than those usually recognized as inter-
ested with the clique. We give in adjoining col
umns an account OF the legal proceedings attend

therefor. as well as a res,sme Of previous remark

How Jay GOuld's Alleged Franc Were
Dctccted-Hcnry Smiths Action In tho
fIatter-Clear Proofs or Guilt.
The following account of the underlying canaee
OF the present crisis in Wall street were given las,
evening by gentleman thoroughly conversant
with the affairs OF the Erie Railroads.
Immediately after Mr.. watson came into
power in July last, he undertook to make up Mr.
Gould's accounts with the Erie Railroad for
the three years preceding through the
books OF the Erie Railroad Company, but
he soon found that those books were
both deficient and fraudulent and he started q
new set of books. He continued at that for num-
ber OF months, and it was not until about three
weeks ago that he discovered it was abso-
lutely impossible to meet with success In
that direction. He then applied to Mr. Smith for
statement OF the transactions between his firm and
the Erie Company during the two or three preced-
ing years. Mr.. Smith said he willing to give an
account OF the Erie Company OF everything that
was done by his nrm, as he felt himself
bound to do so as their agent. Then Mr. Watson
was able TO make true account OF details, show
ing in what manner this money had been abstracted.
That examination and comparison were cOntin-
ued until Yesterday CIn1rsdayI when the facts facts
to make an affidavit imprisoning Jay Cold that
would compel him to dlsgorge the $4,000. 900
which, as is now charged, he had traudulenty
acquired by taking advantage OF his position al
President Of the roed,n ~
story Is that Mr. Smith only afforded these facli
ties because Mr. Gould had got him in tight place
and was Squeezing him on his transactions In
Northwestern"
ssThat is altogether mistake. It is due to Mr..
Smith that he offered this assistance as much as
three weeks ago, when Northwest was at low
figures, and long before there was any sus-
pcion of a corner in the stock. He then
took the position that the Erie Company had A
perfect :ignr to demand from him Transcript Of
their account while Jay Gould was President. 1t
was his duty to furnish 1t and he felt it to be So
And it Is also due to r. Smith to say that SO far as
the Investigations thus far made have gone they
have shown conclusively that whatever business
was done by that firm with the Erie Railway Com
pany was done in a legitimate and proper manner.
Jay Gould, as President, was practically the Eric
Company, and they paid over to him every dollar
that the company were entitled to-"
mt. Gould seems, at any rate, TO have had little
difficulty in getting ballfn
''Yes, and his bondsmen are exactly the men
who, few months ago, made great cf-
forts to get on the Erie directory by represent
ing TO the English stockholders that II they were
elected they would at once secure the bringing OF
Jay Gould to summary and exemplary Justice.
But they are now engaged in a stockjobbing opera
ton with the very man whom they then de-
nOuuced.u
