NEW YORK.


Suspensions and Rumors of Suspensions
i'm New York.
NEW YORK, Apsil 2O.-The stock market IS
considerably demorallzed. The market opened
weak and excited and prices declined from
half to eight per cent. under heavy pressure
decline 1t fell from 30 to 23a 1t is reported
that heavy operator in this stock is in trouble
and has been forced to unload in COL sequence
At this hour there is considerable excitement
and numerous rumors of failures and suspen-
sions, which, however, cannot be traced to any
reliable source. The settling up hour is anx-
iously looked for to prove or disprove them
The fall in the stock market and consequent
excitement which still contioues, has resulted
from the failure of Caprion & Merriam, for
be holding large amounts of Cleveland, Col UNI
bus and Indiana Central, which were thrown
on the market. The excitement continues I'M
abated, and wide fluctuations in prices rapidly
follow each other
The excitement in the stock market to- ay
was the result of well arranged raid by one Of
the cliques. After Indiana Central had been
largely thrown in the market, its price declined
to 20. There are and have been no signs of any
thing approaching panic. Tae failure of Ca
prion & Merriam has not up to this hour been
officially made to the Stock Exchange, and the
failure is now denied. The report that a bill
was introduced into the House at Washington,
taxing national hunks of one per cent. coca
stoned considerable remarks on the street and
helped the depression. The quotations of the
mr. ,ncipal stocks at 2:45 o'clock were an inn
proyement, and there is a better tone in the
market
Treatment of the New York Financiers
at the White House.
Cvrus w. Field says of the interview of the
New York anti.inf1ation Committee with the
President, that the latter accorded private in
teryiew, but Butler forced himself in, took the
President aside and held him in close conversa-
ton for ten minutes, the Committee standing
in the meanwhile, and again, after the ADDRESS
es began, Messrs. Logan, Ferry and carpenter
entered, and in a very discourteous way re-
manned and listened to the whole interview.
1t was stated to Mr.. Field that Mr.. Logan made
some uncomplimentary remarks about the
Committee. f. s. Minister. another of the
Committee, says that the Senators entered with
cigars In their mouths in very ungentlemanly
manner. ID. E. Hawley, also a Committee
man, says that the conduct of the Senators
was very ungentlemanly, while that of Logan
was disgusting; and the manner of Butler, in
interrupting the proceedings, was badly out of
taste. John .. johnson, another member of
the Com ittee looked upon that action of But
Ter and the three Senators as a Conspiracy to
prevent the President from COMMITTING him.
self in his reply to the Committee He saws
that Butler evidently excited the President !

Riot,

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 20.-To-day was ap-
pointed by the negroes of this city for the cele-
bration of the anniversary of the pas sage of
the fifteenth amendment. There was some
difficulty as to the arrangements and the better
portion of the colored people withdrew. This
afternoon about one hundred negroes assem-
bled and marched through the streets At
Howard and Chestnut streets one negro left the
procession and went into grocery and took s.
from the money drawer. Policeman Fowler
attempted to arrest the man but several ne
groes itnerfered and Fowler was knocked
down three times but was finally rescued by
some young men, The police collected and
few squares further on arrested six of the ne
groes Others commenced throwing rocks at
every white person GU the street, injuring more
or less some eighteen or twenty men aud wo-
men, but none dangerously The police raj
lied and arrested several more negroes. The
procession then disbanded. A meeting of
more respectable negroes is to be held tonight
and it is rumored trouble will ensue between
the two factions.

Wanderers Arrested.
The Brooklyn Union announces the arrest OF
two men, Timothy Finnan and John Carmody,
believed to have participated in the murder OF
Prof. Pomona in this city two years ago. Both
belonged to gang of the most desperate hlgn,,
waymen and cutthroats who have ever infested
the city, and who, from the start, have been
held responsible for Ponomo's death. Two OF
the gang were tried for robbing and dangerous
ly wounding Prof. Wesserlan two nights after
POnomo's homicide, and the former was convict
ed and sentenced to twenty years imprlson-
ment. Gilroy escaped by an alibi. There Is
now abundant proof that Finnin, not Gilroy'
was the companion of Mclaughlin in this as
sault from which Wesserlan died six months
afterward.
Finnin has been Swallowed by the detectives
since the crime, having resided most OF the
time in New Jersey. Two weeks ago he re-
turned to Brooklyn and a week later went 10
work in hat factory. Carmody about the
snme time also came back to his fathers house
in Brooklyn. Both are believed to have been
there. The ruffians were arrested quietly gu
Saturday. They have several other crimes 10
answer for should the evidence not be sufnclent
to convict them OF the murder. RumOr, now
ever, says Carmody has made confession I'M
plicating Finnin as Ponomo's murderer.

The Steamer Amerique.

LONDON, April 2O.-The engineer and mate
of the steamer Spray who first boarded the
French steamer Amerique report that they
found all the steamers boats gone except the
gig There were six feet of water in the stoke
hole and two of the dead lights were burst in
admitting water. The pumps were found chok
eo, which circumstances probably caused the
panic. The mate thought it possible to save
the steamer as the weather was moderatng il
tnen blowing half gale. The Spray sent a
tached to the Amerique cable chain and the
spray started with the. steamer in tow on the
morning OF the 18th, heading for Brest. The
WORK OF towing was easy all day Wednesday.
1t was discovered the next day that the propel-
Ter of the Amerique was gone. The same day
her chain slipped and was lost The Spray
then sighted the steamer f. F. Barry and ar
ranged for her to assist in bringing the steamer
into port. They continued to head for Brest
till 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the wind
shifted and they resolved to change their
course and make for a British port and Ply
mouth was sighted Saturday at O'Clock p. m.

Fonnd Dead ON Shipboard.

roma De80 ON SmlpDOHfOs
RocKLAND, April 2O.-A man named Will
liam Hart of Bucksport, mate of schooner Will
liam L. Ro;fe, Glosson master, of that place,
was found dead on board the vessel this morn
ing in badly bruised condition. A quarrel
took place between Glosson and Hart on board
the vessel on Saturday night, both men being
intoxicated 1t is reported that Glosson came
ashore yesterday noon and went aboard again
last night. He came off again at midnight
and said the mate was worse. DIR. Banks was
sent on board but found Hart dead when he ar
rived thers at six o'clock this morning The
suspicion is that he died from injuries received
in the quarrel referred to, and that he must
have been dead sometime when the physician
arrived Coroner Rust has been summoned,
who will hold an inquest.
The Inquest.
Coroner Rust empanelled jury and began
an inquest this afternoon. Suspicious were en-
tertained that Hart might have died from in
Jures received in quarrel with the captain of
the craft, whose name is Closson. on Saturday
evening, but the evidence taken thus far does
not warrant this conclusion. Both Closson and
Hart were in liquor Saturday afternoon, and
had had an alteration. Two men assisted
them in hauling their vessel off to her anchor
age that evening, and the quarrel was renew
ed between them twice and interrupted by the
interference of the other men. All four got in
to the boat to go on shore when Closson and
Hart, both still in liquor, renewed their diff
Guilty and fell on the side of the boat upsetting
it, The other two men got them back to the
vaSsa1 and with the assiS;a nco of othars who
came in a boat, got them on board. Closson
turned in, but Hart, who had been in the water
longer, was left rolled up in some quilts ON the
floor. There seems to have been no one else on
board till Sunday afternoon, when Closson went
for help, and two men came on board and found
Hart iusensble and changed his wet clothes
and tried TO make him comfortable. They
thought him drunk and that he would sleep it
off. He seems to have been left till about mid
night, when Closson went on board and sabse-
quently came off again, saying he feared he
was dying and got physician to go on board
at about six O clock this morning. The physi-
clan found the man dead and rigid, and thought
death must have taken place at least twelve
hours before Closson was taken into custody
before noon, and Harris wallet containing a
few dollars, was found ON his person. He was
then partially intoxicated. The inquest will be
resumed tomorrow when Closson will be ex-
amined.
Sealded- to Death.
At about eleven o'clock Saturday the wife of
Mr.. E. Savage, and sister, were in the act of
taking a boiler of hot water from the stove
when they accidentally dropped it, scalding in
dreadful manner Mrs Savage's child, a little
girl fifteen months old, who was playing on the
floor. The child survived till Sunday evening,
when death put an end to its sufferings.
