have exhausted the $50, 900 balance
In the treasury, and are without
means unless the North responds
as literally as last year. Various
secret organizations, and notably
the Knights Of Honor, are working
nobly.
A Herald special says: The va
rious relief societies are supplant-
ing the Christian churches here.
During the present crisis the min
listers for the most part have fled,
leaving their flocks to the ravages
of the fever. Were it not for char
liable organizations the distress
would be increased tenfold.

Attack On VanderbtIt-Fhs Lake
ss,Ore Deaf.
NEW YORK, August 2l.-Tbe
| Public, under the head "The Great
Untaxed." "exposes the ways of Will
liam H. Vanderbilt and denounces
the course of the newspapers which
have refrained to ceusure his eva
sion of taxes and personal state
ments on which 1t is alleged the
Lake Shore speculation was based.
| The statements current in the street
about the part Vanderbilt took in
the Lake Shore speculation are
either true or false. If true or half
true, exactly the same grade of dis
honesty which was shown in the
"no personal property" return, was
manifested on Vanderbilps part in
the speculation. II not true, 1t
would be eXpedient for Vanderbilt
to make the fact known without
delay. The undeniable facts are
that nearly all of Vanderbilt's most
intimate and personal friends and
business associates bought Lake
Shore stock at the very top, in the
avOwed belief that consolidation
of that road with the New York
Central was to be made on Thurs
day. Many of them refused to
believe the contrary, and held
stock IN very large blocks even af
ter there has been a formal denial
and hfter great quantities Of stock
had been thrown Upon tie street
by Va"ierbilt's SONS They are not
men so guile.ess or 8, Ignorant of
! the ways of tie market in general
or of Vanderbilt in particular, as to
be taken in by wiuks or mods.
Does anybody believe that guess
or blunder made Newell, General
| Manager of the Lake Shore, buy
| Is, 900 shares of stock, or Mr.. Corey,
w. Vanderbilps family friend,
bought 5 900 shares OH dreams and
held it until the crash had come?
Is D. o. Mills, the California capi-
talist, who is associated with Van
derbilt In the directory, so "soft"
an operator that he had no reason
for buying and sticking TO 10000
shares?
