The "Man Eater'' OF the Eighth ward. the no

been the terror OF the ward when filed with bad

About half-past one (as is supposed) yesterday

Horse Railroad Company, at the Union Course.
Robert Beatty, the night watchman Of the prem
ises, at the time in the company's Office, and
when they knocked refused them admission. They
then burst open the door, and, seizing Beatty, Sc
curely bound him with rope threatening his life
at the same time II he made any outcry. One OF
them then thrust cotton handkerchief
into his mouth, and rammed 1t in with
the barrel OF cooked pistol, making the
gag complete by tying another handkerchief
over his mouth. The ruifians then took the keys
OF the blacksmith's shop from Beatty's pocket, un-
locked the shop, aad securing sledge hammer
and number OF cold chisels, with the aid OF
light which they took from the Office, returned
and proceeded TO break open heavy iron safe,

and posting two men outside as sentinels. They
nnally succeeded In etfecting an entrance into the
safe after about three hours hard labor, and OBJ
tanned from II over 1900 in money, including

THE SANTANA BAY COMPANY.
Denial of Report OF Its FaiIurc-It Is In
Prosperous Condition.

One Of the directors of the Samana Bay Company
made a statement yesterday in reference to the
condition Of the company which is OF interest in
view OF the announcement, contained in the
HERALD dispatches OF yesterday, that the company
had tailed. The following is the gst OF the state
ment:-
.s1he company never was In so good condition
as 1t is now. The financial condition OF the COM
pany is SO good that we have within few days
received despatch from one of our directors in
London stating tnat the basis Of negotiations for
q considerable loan was already concluded.
The new provisional government, as soon
as 1t was organized, sent us memorial stating
that they would respect all the agreements Of the
company with the Baez government up to the 25tn
Of November; and the validity OF this document
was certified TO by the foreign consuls. As TO the
failure OF the United States government TO pay us
$150,000 for coaling station, can say that the
government merely leased from US the Levantados
Islands and that no proposition whatever in regard
to the amount was made to them, They have the
islands upon their own terms, trusting. OF course.
tnat they will do what is fair; but all this is left to
and left it for the future to decide what they may
consider the station WORTH
REPoRTER-And in regard to the allegation that
the government has decided not to allow any ves
sells to enter Dominican warerss
DIRECToR-Iou on can Judge Tor yourself by the fact
that we have a letter from the Navy Department,
stating that the government will establish coal
ing station upon the islands. 1t is true that the
government ala pay the Dominican government
$50 COO year in 1868 for the lease OF these islands,
but that has nothing to do with the present lease.
As to the protectorate, we have never asked Tor
one. never desired one. as there never was the
slightest opposition TO us Our position is better
now than 1t ever was before in the history of the
company. We nave been hard at work surveying,
and viii soon be ready to take care OF anybody who
wants to go there. We have hundreds OF letters
from all parts OF the country, even from people of
capital and position, who are desrous OF going to
the lands OF the company and many OF these repre-
sent companies OF 20 and 30 persons each.
The Director then showed the reporter number
OF large charts and maps showing the work done
by the large corps OF engineers in the employ OF
the company, and the interview terminated.

SATURDAY, Dec 20-6 p. M.
The markets to-day were 1eatureess, the move
ments in stocks being such as may always be ex-
pected at the close OF the week, and the move
ments In gold varying with the purposes of specu.
lators The latter are by no means well deter
mined. Higher prices are anticipated, and the ex-
pectations are based on the weakness OF the gov
vernment after 1t has paid its January interest
and debt 1t is not difficult to recognize the pos
sbilites OF some very important and perhaps
astonishing changes in this phase Of the market.
The routine of the day is described below, and the
facts related will carry their own suggestiveness:-
THE MONEY MARKET.

THE BANK STATEMENT.

TO meet hyena, according to one OF the party,
Around the room were row Of empty barrels,
How the battle should be fought was the nrst
question, and Il was settled by council, who
knew that the badger should be placed in bar

that the " "brindle" was ten pounds heavier than
