WALL STREET.-Lls Wednesday Ire
nor w. Park failed to meet his obligations
as did Mr.. John Pondir, one of his bro
kers. Panama and Pacific Mail had big
tumble, the former going down from 100
to 80 on the report af Parks failure. Mr..
Parks troubles were variously laid to Jay
Gould with the Union Pacific interest and
to Selover, Spectator who lost about
100000 in u contest with Park some time
ago. There has been fight between the
Panama and the Union Pacific for the con-
troll of Pacific Mail and the Panama inter-
est under Park WIS successful, SO that
whether Selover or Jim Keene or JAY
Gould was the immediate striker of the
blow which crippled Park, it came from
the Union Pacific crowd who want to
break the Panama route and obtain mo-.
nopoly of the Pacific coast business.
To the surprise of Wall Street Mr.. Park
turned up in about tweny-four hours on
his feet again and ready to meet his obli-
cations, and with him Mr.. Pondir was also
able TO right himself. How Park did is
somewhat of IL mystery TO his opponents,
but it is rumored that Gen IL. II. Baxter
came to hisaid with half million dollars.
One thing is sure, Mr. Park, like the
great D. Webster, = amt dead yet" and
the combination against him will have to
do u good deal of lively work before they
succeed in getting his scalp. Though it
has been roughly pulled, he still wears his
excessively auburn hair right on the top
of his own head instead of allowing it to
adorn the belt of the Union Pacific chief.

paid no particular attention to the report
of the murder or the trial, and read nei-
Their. OF course he could not have known
that Phair was the man he had met, nor
had any circumstance or event called the
matter to mind until he read Phair's state
ment yesterday. Thinking it very inn
probable that two men had left Rutland
June 8. 1874, and applied to the Screw
Company for work and took the same
train for Boston June 10, 1874, he conclu-
ded that Phair might have been the man.
Mr.. Downing at once went to the chief OF
police and then to the Globe Office, and he
and Mr.. Taylor of the Globe hurried to the
telegraph office, where, after twelve
o'clock, Downing telegraphed Governor
Fairbanks here that he thought he saw
Phair on the Providence train on the
morning of June 10th [when he was
sworn to have been pawning goods in
Boston] 1t was the dinner hour of the
Montpelier operator, but as soon us he got
the dispatchhe sent it to st. Johnsbury,
and the Governor happened to be in the
St. Johnsbury telegraph office, He ut

The Globe says of Mr.. Downing the
gentleman who thinks he saw Phar (and
recognized Phair's photograph in the office
of the chief of police:
Mr. Downing was born in East Brook
field, VT, and lived there until he was six
teen years of age. His parents were born,
lived and died there, and he has many
relatives there and in other parts of Yer
mont, all people of the highest respect.
ability. When the war broke out Mr..
Downing was in Montpelier. He enlisted
in Company l, Eleventh Vermont Regi-
ment, Captain Robinson Templeton, and
recruited u score or so of men from his
native town for that company, He has an
honorable war record. At the close of
the war he came to Boston, and for the last
four or five years he has been in business
for himself here in Boston, He is about IS
or 80 years of age, n man of much more
than ordinary intelligence and ability.
One important trait of his in connection
with this case is that, while he cannot re-
member names over night. he never for
gets IL face even if he has not seen it for
years. He never talks with man with
out forever after remembering his counte-
nance distinctly and being able to place
him ut once. lie is II man who naturally
shrinks from noloricly. In the present
instance he can have no motive whatever
but to contribute, if he can, some evidence
to show the truth of the statement of IL
man who denies that he committed
crime for which he is about to be hanged.
Between this and the 4th of May Phair's
Providence story will be thoroughly look
ed into and on its truth or falsity will
probably depend his hanging at that
time.

one evening last week What transpired

man rushed out and was lost in the dark
ness. A moment later the woman appear

flames. She was dressed for the evening
in rich robes Of II combustible material,
and the flames had completely enveloped
her. She had just time to eXcaim, " He
