A CORNER IN ERIE.

Wal-st. was very much excited on Saturday
by an incpient "corner" in Erie the price advancing
from 5t 10 C5 at the close. From tho statement OF well
Informed dealers it learned that numberOf Frank
fort bankers had sold large quantities OF the stock,
which they did not have on hand, but expected to
arrive by European steamers. As the bulk Of the
Erie stock Is held I'm London, the market here was
oyersod and the fact coming to the knowledge OF the
"bulls" Erie this side they refused 10 lend their
stock TO the Frankfort bankers for purposes or delivery
and forced n corner" which resulted I'm an advance OF
about per cent. When the stock WAS found to be
many Of the Frankfort bankers paid per cent FOR
the OF shares, and at that figure succeeded IN OD
tanning a limited supply. The "cOrner" will probably
continue until tho arrival or the expected shares or the
settlement Of outstanding contracts. 10 Is understood
that jay Gould, who is popularity supposed 20 De short
OF the stock was badly squeezed" IN the corner"

Even by those persons and papers who have
rom the outset given the citizens' movement
the cold shoulder and urged all sorts of
nimsy and utterly untenable arguments against
ne appointment Of an investigating COM
mittee, the mass meeting of indignant citi-
zens held at Library Hall on Thursday evening,
Is admitted to have been, in number and charac-
ter, an unqualified success, which, beyond ques-
tion 1t really was. The citizens. regardless OF
party. are jubilant over the matter, and nothing
was talked OF yesterday scarcely. The defenders
of the ring, while not daring to
OUTRAGE TRUTH
and beard the people by bellttng the meeting,

still using all their power, through their organs,
to try and prove that the committee s useless and
unnecessary. 1t is claimed that the Finance
Committee of the Common Council, in its roofing
out the defauter Broadwel has proved itself fully
capable OF attending to the necessary investiga-
ton and withal sincere and reliable. But in the
same breath 1t is urged that some prominent
bankers who were spoken OF as members of a
citizen's committee would be utterly unsatlsfac

sidered unreliable. The Finance Commute, how

A great stress Is laid by the ring defenders on
the paltriness OF the sum Broadwel STOLE s4,2 200.

that the books In the City Treasurers ONCE reveal

before remarked, the HERALD years ago published
columns OF facts proving gross frauds
and shameless irreguiaritles in the matter
OF sewer and street contracts. To this day there
has not been made even an attempt to disprove
them. When the Grand Jury and the public pro-

A CHARNER TAKEN IN.-In the Ian
guage Of the Ira, an EngliSh authority In
all things theatrical, the following curious
occurrence Is said to have taken place at
Brighton. Tho performance Of MAN and
Vile" at the Theater Royal was delayed
some little time on Tuesday night In con-
sequence Of 1t being discovered that Mr..
Charles Collette, who was playing the
part Of Sir Patrick Lundie, was not IN the
theater. Before, however, an apology
was made, Mr.. Collette arrived, wet TO
the skin, and in state Of great exhaus-
tion. He dressed hurriedly, and appeared
on the stage, exhibiting no traces Of
the ordeal he had gone through. 1t ap.
pears that Mr.. Collete had learned the art
Of snake charming in India, md was ex.
planning tho process TO Dir. Geo, Reeves
Smith, the courteous general manager OF
the Brighton aquarium. Notwithstanding
the entreaties OF Mr.: Smith, hlr. Oollette
insisted on exercising his science upon
the octopus, and succeeded In Turing the
monster from his hiding place, and caused
It to follow him round the tank. On
bending down TO the surface ofthe water,
however, the creature seemed 10 shake OF
all control, and turning his snaky leelers
round Mr.. Collette's neck, drew him by
main force into the tank. A desperate
struggle ensued beneath the water,
whence Sir Patrick Lundie was with dif.
flcultY extrlcated by Mr.. Smith and sew.

confined his powers Of charming TO the
patrons OF the thesler, and with far great
er success.
