CORNERS.

Sharp corners" agitate the stock market.
1t is said that several people have been paying
200 for stock which they sold, not having a
share in the world, at so or less. Their losses
are said to amount to millions. The country
does not care. Not a dollar goes out of the
country if they are ruined. Every dollar lost
by them goes to somebody else, and the fact
that such performance hurts the market |"
will also be regarded with equal eguanimity
by the people who neither gamble nor sell
property which they do not own.
The Street is not in good temper. 1t con-
siders Corner highly improper Three
hundred days in the year it applauds specu-
lators who sell securities which they do not
own, provided they succeed, or seem likely to
succeed. The Stock Exchange ought to be a
mart for legitimate buying and selling of
property, but everybody knows that
certain persons continually use it as
a gambling house. 1t happens that
the profits from this gambling in other
mems property are particularly large, and
therefore the Street is shocked when opera
tons of that sort come to grief. But who is
TO be blamed 2 Certain men own large share
of the stock of a railroad. They have
an unquestioned right to own it. They think
fit to buy more, and this they also have an
pleases to borrow a great deal of their prop
erty, and then to sell it to them, and they are
sharply berated because they make him pay
for it whatever they please. To the I'M
prejudiced and unnterested outsider, il seems
that "Serves him right" is the proper verdict.
Gambling of this sort, in securities, in grain,
cotton and provisions, has done much harm,
and no thoughtful man will regret to see it
checked Legitimate speculation has a proper
and very different function, and at times serves
an important purpose. But the man who gets
caught in "corner" never has any claim to
sympathy. He has been trying to get rich by
selling stuff borrowed from and belonging TO
other people, and the essential popularity of
his position is that he has bound himself i'm
honor to deliver property which he cannot
ge, because somebody else owns and wants it,

"corners" this fall. The speculative element

long-continued selling movement is not i'm

The old story that crime is an I'm
profitable profession. The train robbers who
boarded the train on the Chicago and Alton
secured in all, it is said, less than
$4,000. Seventeen men were engaged
in the conspiracy, and, if they escape arrest,
will receive less than 5000 a man for
piece of work which required great
courage, subjected them to great risk,
must have cost them good
deal OF preparation, and leaves them all with
future chance of the penitentiary, not to say
Judge Lynch's rope, upon detection. The div
idends of highway robbery are too small and
the assessments are too sure.

The cheering words of the morning bulletin
of the Presidents physicians yesterday were
strengthened and confirmed by all the events
of the day. Mr. Blaines dispatch to Minister
Lowell declared that /" the President had not
:" for many weeks done so well for
$50 many consecutive hoursn The pulse
did not exceed 100, and there was very
little fever. He is no longer dependent upon
stimulants for gain in strength, and sleeps
without opates. These conditions are all
favorable, and much is to be hoped from the
cool breezes of the sea and the healing in
huences of time under benign surroundings.

A STARTLED HUSBAND.
How SIddOns saw His Wife Re-
heaFsIng after Midnight.
London Argosy.


Late one night Mr.. SiddOns was sitting by
the fire in the modest family parlor which,
in that most unsssuming household served
as dfning-rOom or draWiUg-room, as the
case might be. He was smoking calmly his
last pipe and beginning to think about going
to bed, whether, as this was not one OF her
evenings at tie theatre, he believed his wife
had gone already. The house was sunk in
dreamy silence, so was the quiet street
outside: silence only broken now and
then ty the roll of distant
wheels. The actor had been drawing
vague picture OF a little holiday trip which
he aud Sarah would take next summer, and
had fallen into q half doZa, in which be was
driving down a country lane all scented with
honeysuckle. all draped with tg'antine.
Suddenly be was reused with start by hur-
Tied footsteps, that were flying rather than
running down the passage. Who could It
be ? be asked himself, all in ameEe and won
der, as he Jumped up and rubbed his sleep
laden eyes He had barely time to let the
question go darting through his brain, when
the door OF the room was flung open quick
", as by q hssty, trembling hand, and
female figure rushed In.
Mr.. SiddOns gszed In speechless astonish-
ment. not unmixed with a touch OF fear.
There before him stood his wife, her tine
hair dishevelled, her dress all in disorder,
her face all quivering with strong emotion
In bewilderei alarm be asked her what was
toe matter. but her only answer was to
throw herself into his arms and burst into
torrent Of tears. lie sOOthed her tenderlY,
not knowing what to think, and gradually
She grew calmer. Then her words made the
mystery plain enough. Instead OF going to
bed as be had bade her do, she had been
sitting up studying her part as Lady Mac
beth. and the character had so completely
absOrbed her in itself, she had so entirely
realized the horror of each situation In the
play, had seen It all so distinctly before her
ewes, as IL she had been there In the body,
that wild, unreasoning terror had seized
her, and she had rushed away to seek hu-
man cOmpanionship.

ALMOST A PANICIN PHILADEL-
PHIA.
The Bottom OF the Market Drops
out and Carries Some Operators
Al"ng with It-An Exciting Scene
atIhe stock Exchange.
PhilndeIphfa Press. 2ath.

Yesterday was a day Of fearful anxiety
aud stirring events in Third street. For
week the stock market has been declining
rapidly, and prices are reaching 3 point
where. IL there is not a halt, serious conse-
Quences NAV follow. Many an operator
wended his way to the street with his bro
ker's call for more margin IN his pocket,
well knowing that only sn upward turn IN
the market would save him. The anxiety
with which the early quotations were
scanned was great, and the first f cures held
out some hope 10 the holder of stocks on a
precarious margin. II was but short lived,
however, for 10 half an hour the jubilant
bears had the market on the downward
turn, 81 d Il seemed for few minutes as II
a panic would ensue. During the excite
ment the announcement was made that
Wm. P CamblOs and ID. s. Thompson,
both members Of the Stock Exchange, had
failed The bond room became a Bedlam,
and the brokers fairly screamed their bids
When the racket quieted Pennsylvania had
reached 59]5, aud The rest of the market, ex-
ceDt Reading, was down in proportion.
Some outside buyers sent In their orders,
when something like order was restored by
a vigorous pounding OF the ChSirman's
gavel, which was kept going nearly all day,
aud there was a rally for half an hour.
Meantime It was discovered that the fail
ures were of NJ importance, and would
have no further effect on the market
than had been seen, which was caused
by the throwing of the shares of the
unfortunate brokers on the market. Neither
gentleman did commission business, but
both Of them we're spectators. Mr. Cam
BIOS was credited with making $3.50, COO du-
ring last year and the early part of this, and
be was one OF the most pronounced bulls on
the street, being a short time ago long OF

Thompson has been q member of the board
for about two years. CuriOusly enough Mr..
Thompson was bear. He is said 10 ksve
made a handsome profit In Northern Pacific
recently on the short side of the market.
He covered at a., and naturally thought
there would be a recovery, and purchased
the stock at about that figure. The de-
cline continued, and within three days
Mr.. Thompson was "wiDed out" Mr..
Camblos was long Of the Northern Pacific
aud Pennsylvania and Reading His hold
ings were 4, 500 Reading and 2, 500 Pennsyl-
vania, and quite a large quantity of the

ures will not be over $4,000 or $4,000. It
was said another broker was In hot water,
but be was given until today by his lenient
creditors to make up his margin.
Meantime the roar from the Stock Board
was as steady as that from the sea. and
prices rose and fell as the waves on the
sandy beach To the uninterested observer
the brokers we're mad men engaged in war
of words, which threatened to come to
blows st any moment. When 3 O'Clock
came every one was completely tired out
with physical and mental fatigue. The
days business was very large one.
