SlOOO,00O. The events Of the day on
Wall street were little more interest
ing than of late, although the dulnc,,
continues. In the Gold Room the long
expected squeeze on cash gold was inaug-
uratcd and borrower, paid from l-G4 to
l-$2 per cent tor use. This Of itself was
- small matter but the general fear that
gold will be- made still dcarer for daily
Use caused many of those short to cover,
which caused an advance to ll5l. The
events in the Gold Room had II very de-
moralizing effect Oh foreign exchange
and leading bankers advanced their rates
three times during the day, the last time
to 4s2l for sixty day bills, and 4sj! for
demand. Actual business, however, was
at decided reduction from asking rates,
good bankers sixty days sterling having
sold as low as 4S5, and prime at 4Sl. De
mand bills closed at 4S4@4Si!.
GoLD-Opcned at ll43, declined to

paid for borrowing were lCn2 per cent

How Jones Married.

He had beeL widow few years, and
had resolved not to marry again. He
hired Il furnished house of Secl etary
Stanton, in Washington, and proceeded,
in true California style, TO keep rancho
there, inviting sundry bibulous and con-
viviaj young men to assemble at meal
times and all the time, ard swap anec-
dotes with him. They accepted with
great unanimity and guzzled his fine
brandy, drank his Eng ish se'tzer water,
consumed h quail-on-toast, and boldly
hinted that there might be u better quail
ity Of Madeira in the terrapin. Indeed,
he was much the same kind of Senator
that James De Mile described in the
dodge Club IA good natured, brilliant
frontier philosopher.
After this performance had grown
somewhat monotonous; when the young
men had used Jones fast horses, borrow
cd his umbrellas and courted his pastry
cooks to his great relief more substan
tial person came, in the person Of Eugene
Sullivan.
This was formerly pronlnnt gentle
man of the coast who had become tight
encd in some of his SpecuatiOns, and re-
quircd to be extricated by the Archime.
dean purse of Jones of Nevada, to whom
he had lent money, like a man, in hum
bier days.
Just at that time the young and only
daughter of Mr. Sullivan was about re-
turning home from the schools in Eu-
rope, where she had been two Years ut
study. Her father residing in the house,
the young lady Wa, invited to be u CO.
guest with him. Immediately all the
scaprgraces and auccdote-tellers decamp-
ed. and, for the first time in II onths,
Jones table had II mistress and himself
peace and tranquility.
The change affected him very CRATE
fully, and be be,ought his guests to stay
on from week TO week and protect HIM
from good company. There are pretty
rides in the cnvirons Of WaShingtou, and
something in the climate there tiuttcrs
the pulse SO that as great n barbarian aS
stage lngomar might cNclalm, riding
up the valley of Rock Creek with II
pretty girl just out of school:
Two souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one
That was the way with Jones. At the
close OF the season he wanted to be AT
Long Branch near his President, who
had been electrified with Jones brilliant
views on finance and the currency. So
the Sulivans were persuaded to 80 along,
and there, by the sad sea waves, the
voIuptuous widowcr popped his pop and
sweet eighteen dropped, like the fruit of
the Hcsperides, into the strong arms of
Jones Of Calavcra,, aged 40 or there
abouts.
They kept the secret Of their engage
mcnt until Jones had invaded Cnliior-
/ MIA street and made two or three millions
/ in Bonanza for Miss Sullivan's wedding
tour. jGcncral SchoIeld, by the way,
/ our commander on that coast, made $50
600 in the same rise, and thought he was
rich The only condition the brid,
made with Jones was that he should
never complain if there was too much
salcratus in the bread.--PitfSJ'Ugh Dis
. y0trh.

orders have been given by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
for AN immense reduction of passenger

tween Cincinnati, Baltimore and Wash

lar reduction is about being made

The PudIers' Strike-The will not

five mills working on So per ton, and
could give YOU others outside of Pitts

in Pittsburgh on at So are Pipetown,
Lecchburgh. kloman' lower milll, Key

made its statement five weeks ago that
one mill only was on at So, It might then
have been correct, but ii will not do for
to-day. Gradually the manufacturers are

one month from to-day will settle the
trouble. The men know this and are
wlIling tu ABIDE results The manutac-
turcrs know it also. Therefore rs the
time grows shorter they become more
desperate in their efforts to break down
the determination of the puddlerS.
The mills there working without
pudd,cr> are doing 80 on muck bar,
which cost them from Sl.60 to 500 per
ton more than 1t would take to make II
al their own mills at the old rates. This
shows that there are sacrifices on both
sides. Many rumor and report circu-
late, and are put into circulation for the
purpose of weakening the confidence of
pudd.crs west of Pitt>burg in the stand
of the tsburgh men, but all will prove
of no avail, as good communication is
kept up, and every change in the affair
is known al all points as soon Us ii oc-

Mr.. Beech argued that the court permit

and biography section by section, to the
jury, though it was ruled out as evidence,
and that, therefore, the reading ofthls
paper should be permitted, though 1t
was ruled out as evidence
Mr. Evarts submitted that there was
no rule of evidence allowing the reading

ruled out from the testimony the argu-
ment was continued, but Judge Nelson
said he had decided to rule it out Mr..
Beach taking an exception.
Mr. Beach contended that he only
offered portions of the statement to be read
and asked to make an offer of the proof.
Judge Nelson decided that the offer

Mr. Evarts objected to this, and anoth-
er wrangle between the counsel ensued.
Mr.. Evarts, in support of his objection,
quoted from a Massachusetts case.
Mr. Beach replied that this case Only
applied to witness who was sought to
be impeached, for contradictory state

or in sexual intercourse.
Mr.. Evarts asked that this be stricken
