Nearly $75, 900, 900 in gold has been

past 1870 days, or in a little over four

a million a day. The money markets
Of the country, but especially those
in the east are in an easy condition,
and the times were never more pro-
pitious. The season for the disburse-
ment of interest and dividends is close
upon us, but we hear of nothing in
this line hat is encouraging. Few of
our monetary institutions will be able
to show gains of sufficient magnitude
to enable them to declare the same
dividends they have in past seasons,
and some will declare none at all.
The insurance companies have done a
large business, and will make divi-
dends, and their stocks are rather
strong, but aside from this there IS
little or no animation among local Sc
curities. The liberal accumulation Of
idle capital however bears indication
of a better movement ere many weeks
pass. The discount rate of brokers is
steady at 8 per cent with but little
call for favors. Outside rates Of
interest range from 6 to 10
per cent. Exchange is steady as fol-

Fall River is &c discount. On New
Orleans sight bills are tc discount.

Fidgetty People.

Although women are usually considered 10
be more nervous than men, they certainly nd
get less. Put an equal number of men and wo-
men to sit for half an hour upon afm-chalrs
with loose chintZ covers and ahtlhlacassars.
When the women rise the general appearance
of their seats will be little altered; but when
the men leave their chairs there will remain
visible evidence of a screw-like action upon
the chintz and it will be a miracle If half the
antimacassars are not torn from their places
Or if lady and gentleman converse together
beside a drawing-room table covered with
knick-knacks, the former will not touch them,
but the latter will select some object and ner-

forms of fidgetiness is that known as "pac-

A Bloody Family Quarrel.
Two Brothers Chop Each Other with an
Axe.

AUGUSTA, Oct. ia strange and bloody
affray occurred in this city on Thursday be-
tween two brothers named Augustus and
Charles Thomas They live down the Kenne-
bee river about a mile from this city, the
home of one being on the east side and that of
the other on the west bank Augustus went
over the river to where his brother was chop
ping wood on the morning in question, and
getting into dispute, one OF them slapped the
other in the face. The aggrieved brother then
seized an axe and struck the other a powerful
blow upon the head, making wound as wide
as the axe blade, but the injured man was able
to obtain the axe, and with this he made a
deep cut into the back of his brother. They
were finally separated by neighbors. There
have been frequent quarrels between them for
years. No arrests have yet been made. The
men are at home suffering from their injuries'
The affair was kept very quiet, the police not
learning of it till Thursday night.

SHOCKING DISASTER.
Wreck of Western Express
Train.
Eighteen Passengers Instantly Killed.

DETROIT, Oct. 10-A serious accident oc-
CURED on the Michigan Central railroad,
short distance east of jackson, Michigan, at
one o'clock this morning. The Pacific express
train bound west, which left Detroit forty
minutes late, collided with switch engine on
the main track at that place, telescoping the
baggage and express cars and piling the re-
manning coaches, eleven in number, on top OF
each other. The first coach was filled! with
emigrants, NEST of whom were killed or seri-
ously injured. Many occupants of the other
coaches were also killed or injured. 1t is
supposed that about 20 or 25 passengers were
killed, and 20 OF 80 wounded. A majority of
the number are thought to be emigrants and
second-rate passengers
Physicians and surgeons were at once sum-
moned from jackson, and special train car
fying physicians left Detroit at five a. m. A
large force of the employees of the road, with
a large number of the citizens of jackson, are
on the ground engaged in extricating the
bodies from the wreck. The officials and
surgeons are busily at work among the
wounded, doing everything to alleviate their
sufferings.
Central stock has declined q on accountbof the
disaster.
Eighteen bodies had been recovered at noon
The accident was caused by the switch en-
CINE occupying the main track, under SUPPOSE
ton that the train was considerably later
Up to noon eighteen dead bodies have been
taken from the wreck, of whom ten from the
emigrant car have not been identified. Leopold
Hoffman, of Randolph, Mass, is among the
injured.
Thus far thirty-eight injured have been
identified, and it is expected number of
bodies are still in the wreck.
The engineer and fireman of the express
train were literally torn in pieces, but the
engineer and fireman of the switch engine
escaped. The train was made up of seven
1.r1Al nbno and
mail and baggage cars. Passengers in the first
coach were comparatively unframed, the
harvest of death being reaped in the second
and third coaches. The fourth coach escaped
with slight damage and none of the Wagner
coaches were injured.
AS near as can be ascertained the accident
was caused by the switch man at jackson
junction occupying the main track with the
switch engine, thinking the express consider
ably later.
DETROIT Oct 10.--At jackson, this after
noon the Michigan Central railroad officials
examined different yard employees at the air
line junction where the switch engine with
which the Pacific express collided was placed
on the main track. 1T appears that the men
engaged in making up the freight train at the
east end of the yard went to the telegraph
office at the junction and got information that
the Pacific express was nearly fifty minutes
late, and the yard-master reported to the en-
gineer of the switch engine that they had for
ty-five minutes of the Pacifics time in which
to make up the freight train, and it was this
work they were engaged in when the collision
occ urred.

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-In the case of Police
man Radmus, for brutally beating and impris-
oning a citizen named Mcintyre, without any
provocation also for insulting a lady who was
with Mcintyre, the jury returned verdict OF
$500 damages.
Mr.. Mcintyre was accompanying young
lady to her home from a party on March 10,
1878, when he was stopped by officer Cadmus
on Hudson street near the Bowery. The officer
told the young lady that she had better go
home, at the same time pushing her escort
from her with his club. When Mr.. Mcintyre
demanded the policeman's number tn latter
arrested him and took him to the Mulberry
street station, where he was locked up over
night on charge OF disorderly conduct The
defence was that Mr. Mcintyre had been dis
orderly.
Judge Speir, in summing up in his charge to
the jury, considered the recent tyrannical and
illegal acts of the police in unwarrantably
arresting and bulldozing citizens as matter
demanding the attention OF the Judiciary.
Radmus will have to pay the $500 or be
imprisoned.
John Kelly will Probably Withdraw
1t is rumored that John Kelly will probably
withdraw from the gubernatorial contest.
Activity in Stock Speculation.
Speculation in the Stock Exchange the past
week is almost unprecedented. The market
continues active, buoyant and higher, The
Oldest spectators are nonplussed. They pre-
| AAOo
come. Meanwhile outside buying continues.
However, it is none the less true that reac-
ton is expected by the clear-headed men of the
street. Their warning to-day is, "Keep out Of
the ambush"
The Erie movement is less Of a mystery than
it was last week. 1t is conceded that the
strategic fingers of Gould and Sage have not
touched it, but, it is believed that Vanderbilt
and Keene controlled the manguvre. 1t is
known that for year OF two Keene has been
heavy holder of Erie. 1t is also known that
Vanderbilt is not averse to profitable specula-
ton. There is now no expectation of any
great change in the management of the Erie.
Jewett will probably retain the Presidency at
least. A rise promised in September in
certain southwestern shares for October is now
noticeable. How much further advance the
market can stand is problem.
Coal stocks are rising on the assumption that
coal will be in demand at increased prices
This does not take into consideration the fact
that coal dealers throughout the country are
heavily loaded with cargoes purchased at last
summers unprecedented low figures.
Telegraphs are more active, and stronger in
common with all investment stocks which do
not apparently share the insecurity of the
"FancieS."
