SCENES IN THE EVENING.

AN EXCITED AssEMBLAGE AT TIfE FIFTH AVENUE
HOTEL.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel was crowded with brokers'
bankers and politicians to a degree last night that
has not been equaled since the evening of Black
Friday four years ago. Soon after darkness had set
in well known brokers began to enter the building
Troops of friends quickly gathered in the long ball
way in the reading-roOm, and in the barroOm the
one subject of conversation being the astounding
failure of Jay Cooke & Co and its effect upon the
value of stocks. The groups gradually increased m
number until passage through the hallway was
almost impossible guests at the hotel were greatly
incommOded in their attempts to enter or leave
the building; and the noise of conversation
resembed that Of miniature stock exchange All
present discussed with great eagerness the value OF
the railway stocks the price of which had been low
erod by the caamities of the day. The financial
strength of prominent bankers and banking firms
was also debated, and many firms of excellent
reputation asserted to have been fatally weak
ened by their losses through the sudden depression
of stocks. Only few of the brokers present made
any sales OF bought any stocks the rules Of the
Stock Exchange being so strict in regard
TO sales of this character that brokers
rarely run the risk of dsObeying them.
Such sales as We're made were regarded
by most of the brokers present merely brought
about to affect the Stock Exchange the following
morning and as Of value in determining what
should be the true price of stocks. majority Of
the brokers present appeared to be confident that
the condition of the market would be far better on
the following morning than during the day just
passed. The worst was thought to be known; the
falseness of rumors respecting certain firms had
been made known and clearer information been OBJ
tanned respecting the value of all kinds of
stocks. In the telegraph office of the
hotel the operators were kept busy
until late at night in telegraphing to
customers of the brokers in all parts of the United
States respecting the state of the stock market In
formation regard to the disasters of the day. de-
mands for money, and predictions regarding the
value of stocks the morrow, were thus sent
abroad. Dispatches i'll reply were received by the
brokers, and doubtless orders were received in re-
gard to the sale and purchase of certain stocks to-
day, which will materially effect the market.
Scattered here and there among the brokers were
members of the former political Ring which ruled
the city, doubtless perpetuating their old habit of
dabbling in stocks. The assemblage began to de-
crease about o'clock, and two hours afterward
only the brokers who reside in the hotel remained
in the Railways.

A FINANCIAL THUNDERBOLT.
Continued from FIRST Page.

Broadway and Reotor-st. This company does
regular banking business, is depository for trust
and other funds, and presided over by the
| late Horace +. Clark. son-in-law Of Commodore
| Vanderbilt. This fact taken in connec
ton with the failure of Richard Schell
led people to think that the concern was involved
by the general Decline and there was an immediate
run upon il, which lasted until about the close OF
banking hours. The scenes at the bank were pecu-
liarly exciting long lines of anxious de-
positors extending from the entrance on Broad
way to the rear of the building Large sums
were paid out, but when it was discovered that the
Company was able to meet its engagements, por-
ton was afterward restored. Whether the " rum
will be renewed to-day depends materially upon the
course of events and the degree of public confidence
VANDERBILT DESERTS RICHARD sOHELL~
The fact that the friends and adberents Of Com
modore Vanderbilt failed TO assist Richard Schell

would come forward with material, but as they did
not do so, however their neglect to do 80

firmly declined to make any.
OTHER FAILURES.
Other failures freely reported, but on lnves-
tigation the rumors proved to be unfounded with
the single exception of a small house, Robinson 81
Suydam. This house carrying quantity of
stocks at high figures, and compelled TO sus-

II was also reported that a director Of the Mil
yankee and st. Paul Railroad and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company had suspended, but this was
denied.
1t was further stated that tho Pennsylvania Com
pany had gone to protest In regard to this the fol-

MAKE HONESTY THE TEST

1t is an "off year" in politics to be sure,
but it has its advantages. Wherever elections
are held, though there be fewer votes cast
and less excitement over them there will be
freer and much more independent action on
the part of those who do vote, and a grand
opportunity to rise above partisanship and
rebuke selfish demagogues and party leaders.
In this State it is especially to be borne in
mind that there is no decent pretext for hold
ing men to the support of unfit party nomina-
tons, that the issue overlapping all others,
indeed the only one of any importance, is
whether we shall have honest men elected TO
the State offices and the Legislature. That is
absolutely the only question, and no bowling
dervish of a politician or party organ should
be able to distract attention from it.
Nelson H Hopkins ought to be renominated
for Controller. OF that there is no shadow of
doubt. He is an honest man, and has shown
himself faithful officer and an implacable
Doubtless he will be renominated by the Re-
publicans, though the Ring politicians and the
petty organs they keep alive are opposing him
with fury.
State Treasurer Raines, who has been an
efficient ally of the Controller in his warfare
upon the thieves does not expect, it is said,
a denomination from the Republicans. Very
WELL Upon such record as he has made. he
may well be nominated by both the Demo-
Gratis and Liberals and be voted for by all
honest citizens without regard to party. That
he deserves reelection is plain if the Repub-
licans refuse to renominate him, they show
that they set party above integrity and ca
pacity.
In the election of members of the Legisla-
ture it is of vital importance that we have
honest men; of no consequence whatever
whether they he Republicans, Democrats, or
Liberals. The portraits of some possible can
didates have been already set before the
people. There can be no excuse, no explana-
ton, except the total depravity of their con-
stituencies, for returning any of these marked
men to the Legislature. No decent party can
nominate them. no honest man vote for them;

BY the loss of the Costa Rica. another Is
added to the long list of American steamers
wrecked within the year. 1t must be remem-
bered that that list is largely made up OF ves-
sells of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
to which corporation the Costa Rica belonged.
This loss, however is not very severe one.
The vessel was a small wooden side-wheei
steamer, which, after many years service In
Atlantic waters, had been placed in the Cali
fornia and China trade, and, more recently,
on the line between San Francisco and Homo
lulu. The running of the ship hard upon the
rocks just outside the Golden Gate, in thick
fog, does not speak well for her commander !;
though, happily, he is not accountable for any
loss of life.

the State does not want them in that or any
capacity. The Canal Ring will have its attor-
neys and lobbyists and dependent creatures
in the field everywhere. The corrupt rings
of this city, of Brooklyn, and of Albany
will do the same. The duty of honest
men is to mark them and vote them down.
1t is, it must be, possible to rescue the State
from these men, and have an honest Legisla-
ture and honest Administration. IL rests with
the people. They can secure it if they set out
for that and that only, and pay no heed to
the clap-trap of politicians. "Is he honest ~
Is the first question for this year.

fire of Wednesday were excessively exagger-
ated The two hundred houses said to have
been burned have been diminished to about
sixty; and the gross loss is s125,OOO; the IN
surance on this amount is about S65.OOO. III

The Capital puts in timely word against the
project of the Board of Health TO NIL up the
wells in the city and abolish the pumps Wash
ington city Is favored in having a large number
Of fine wells, affording COOL clear water, th at is
preferred by many for drinking purposes to the
Potomac water. This water is always clear
and palatable, while the Potomac water Is not
unfrequently 20 muddy as to be unfit for use.
At other times, too, the aqueduct water is un-
palatAble from strong fshy flavor, which was
at first supposed to be due to decayed fish in
the pipes, but which il was afterwards ascer-
tanned came from the water being infected by
the minute water plant known a. conferya.
Again, the existing pumps and wells have
proved invaluable when, from breakage of nj pes
or from the necessity Of making repairs or al
terations, IL has been requisite to shut of the
water. Altogether, the project Of filling up the
wells seems most unwise, and the reason given
Tor n-t.e-, that the surface filth infects the
wen-water-lacks the needed element Of fact.
In eities IKE Philadelphia, where deep privy
wells are In general use, 1t is quite likely that
neighooring wells OF water may be poisoned by
filtration, but the wells Of this city are 40 sltn-
ated that there Is not much chance for imnu-,-
ties to reach them. With due Appreciation or
the blessing Of aqueduct water, let us vet ho,a
on to the valuable auxiliary supply afforded hv
our excellent wells.
