named Baily Forester, who is serving
out a term Of ten years in the State
P~enitentiary at Joliet, for the crime Of

tain high officials in New York, to
open the safe in the Nathan mansion,
and who while making this attempt
aroused Mr.. Nathan, and between
them, in order to escape, killed him
with the iron dog, which they were

TroubIous Reports ON Wall Street.
New YORK, Aug. 8.
Wall street is full of rumOrs OF bank
failures and other disheartening talk
to-day, the work of speculative bears.
The Post says in its financial article
that Wall street markets are to-day
clOuded with rumors OF = disquieting
character. These all seem to emanate
from the Stock Exchange, and to be
accompanied by speculative operations
there. In q vague way 1t says that
three Or four bankers are in trouble,
and also one or two stock firms. TAX
ing the way the stories we're circulated
and all the surroundings, the inference
is inevitable that they are simply the
work of persons anxious to depress
prices, and until an absolute announce
ment of suspension it would be safe To
diScrcdit the stories which may be set
afloat that there are to be more fail
ures.
