In view of the efforts now being

and the present tariff to stop the pay
ment of ths public debt, now aggre-
eating 81, sos, 102, $50, it is of interest
to consider what part oft is now open

Wreck Of an Excursion Train.

GALVESTON, TEX, August 19.-The Ntscs has
waco special giving further particulars of the
wreck OF the narrow gauge excursion train.
When the engine flew the track the engineer
whistied on brakes and gave the danger signals
Those who understood the signal commenced
jumping off the cars. but before a dozen had
reached the ground the crash came and the en-
glne was crowded on its side in an embankment
and the two coaches were jammed together
Willie David was crushed between the cars and
died in ten minutes. Joe Barush had both legs
shattered and a ghastly cut. He lived four
hours. Robert Brooks was knocked down. but
not seriously injured. Engineer and fireman re-
manned on the engine until il turned over when
they were buried with wood from the tender
The coupling between the tender and first car
gave way, thus saving the entire train from de-
sstruction. The parties killed and wounded were
standing on the platform betweenthe cars when
the crash came.

Wall Street TODAY.

NEW YORK, August 19.-The Posts financial
article Gao p. m editiOn) says The Stock Ex-
change markets are much less active than yes
terday. The share speculation continues fever
ish, but the net result of the fluctuations thus
far to-day, has been a decline in prices Of 1sa2
per cent The stocks which have fallen most
have been Memphis and Charleston, the South
western, CC.C. & l.. Louisville & Nashville
Union Pacific, and Milwaukee and st. Paul.
Trunk line stocks continue to be exceptionally
steady, as do also the coal and the elevated rail-
road stocks. There is nothing new respecting
trunk line affairs nor is the condition of Presi.
dent Garfield sufficiently changed to make any
difference to the stock market. The new ele-
ment-the coonition Of the money markets.
now worked by the stock spectators more than
either of the two first named influences.
United States bonds are steady at
unchanged prices. State bonds are weak for
Tennessees, which are down 8 per cent and
otherwise steady. Railroad bonds are irregular
but generally lower, speculative issues leading
the decline. In the money market call loans at
bank have generally been marked up to per
cent on stocks, and few loans on United States
bonds are now standing below per cent.
At the stock exchange 6per cent Is the ruling
rate for loans between the stock brokers, and
additional commissions are still charged In some
cases; the highest we hear Of to-day being 1-16
OF one per cent per day. The market for foreign
exchange shares the general Generalization In
cident to the artificial stTingency Of the local
money market.

Death by the Rome.
EXECUTION OF CHARLEs sTOCKLEy

EXECUTION OF CHARLES STOCKLEY.
BATAVIA, NY, August 19.-The execution of
Charles Stockley for the murder of John Well1er.
respectable and well-to-dO farmer living few
miles from this town, took place here to-day.
The crime was committed on April "a. Weker
was ploughing in field, when StOckley deliber-
ately walked up and fired three shOts-the last
one with fatal effect. Stockley had been en-
ployed by Welker as farm hand and had sought
through Welker the marriage of his 16-year old
daughter, Lizzie, but was refused both by the
girl and her parents, and the only motive for the
crime was revenge. He was promptly arrested,
and was convicted in July last. Since his con-
viction the prisoner has feigned insanity, and at
times has acted like maniac, tearing to shreds
everything within his reach, and acted otherwise
badly; but was last Tuesday examined by Dr..
Grey, Of the Utica asylum, and others before a
sherifs jury, and was pronounced sane. Since
that time he has acted quietly. His mother and
his brother Richard had an affecting interview
with him yesterday. The murderer's last night
on earth was spent quietly. He was again
visited by his mother and brother John; and not
having. been baptized heretofore, he went
through that ceremony, Rev. N. L. Everett,
EpscOpalian, and his spiritual adviser perform
ing the office, and remaining with him to the
last mOment-11:30 p.m.-when Stockley retired
and slept sOundly till $40 this morning, when he
was awakened, but desired another hours sleep.
He rolled over and slept about that length of
time. Then arOusing himself, he remarked that
he felt well, and proceeded to eat hearty break

The HOwgate Case.
THE AMOUNT INVOLVED NOW SAID TO BE ABOUT
$4,000.

THE AMOUNT INVOLVED NOW SAID TO BE ABOUT
$4,000.
Col. VIM. A. Cook and Special Agent New
cOmbe, of the Department of Justice, were busy
this morning pursuing their investigation of the
alleged delinquences in Capt. HOwgates case
They were at the office of the chief signal officer
some time, and spent a few minutes at the w.
U. telegraph office comparing vouchers and ac-
counts. 1t was stated that they had this morn
ing discovered $40, 600 more to add to the
amount of alleged ''pickings" heretofore found
out, making the aggregate amount about
$4,000. Officers of the signal corps are rather
disinclined to talk about the case 1t is stated
that no ladies are employed for service in cOnnec-
tion with the signal corps, and all of the clerical
work is performed by enlisted men. Since the
exposure made of alleged irregularities in Capt.
Howgate's case, statements have been made to
the effect that he has been the victim of black
mailers for many month"; leading life Of con-
tinual torment, persons who had some slight
knowledge of his alleged misdeeds using it to
extort money from him. The supposition that
he is guilty accounts now in the minds of some
people for the extremely vigorous effort he
made to succeed Gen. Myer as chief signal
Officer-a position that would have enabled him
to better secure himself from detection.

About the Weather,

THE HOT WAVE IN THE WEST ''wIPED OUT"
The weather maps to-day indicate a falling Of
temperature all over the Union. The hot wave
that osciated back andforth between the south
west and the northwest a dayor two ago. has en-
trely disappeared, or, to use the words OF an
officer of the signal corps, ''It has been COM
pletely wiped out" "The map to-day" said the
officer, lis very uncertain one. Ii is difficult
to make any predictions from itn
'Csn we expect a hot wave soon?" inquired
the reporter.
Not for some days, think. When 1t comes
it will come from this section, said the officer,
indicating the great northwest by laying his
hand over several growing states and territories
on that part of the map.

The Railroad Strikers I'm New York.

NEW YORK, August 19-Mr. John N. Abbott,
general passenger agent Of the New York, Lake
Erie Western R.R company, being asked if a
strike of serious nature had occurred at any
point on the road, said: The situation is this:
Quite number of switchmen in the Buffalo and
Hornellsville yards have quit work and applied
for an increase of pay, which the company is not
prepared to concede to them, for the reason
that they are being paid rate equal to that re-
ceived by the same class of employees on the New
York Central, the Pennsylvania and other east
ern railroads. AS far as the men quit they are
paid off and others hired in their places No
disorder or interference has occurred, and while
there is some delay in passing freight trains
through the yards at Buffalo and Hornellsville,
there is no detention to passenger trains The
Salamanca switchmen who quit work yesterday
have resumed this morning.

The Washington Monument,

AS HIGH NOW AS THE SHAFT ON BUNKER HILL.
The wOrkmen at the monument have finished
course 800, giving the monument height equal
to that of Bunker Hill monument. The actual
height from the ground is 237 feet, the terrace
about the base of the monument being II feet
one of the stair platforms, which are located ten
feet apart, all the way up from the base. The
granite is beginning to arrive now in such guam
titles that it is hoped there will be no further
delays i'm the work. 1t Is expected to build 40
feet more this year, if there is no delay in the
arrival of material. That will raise the monu-
ment at the end of the present building season
to height of 262 feet, and the new portion will
represent one-haf of all the material required to
complete the structure from the point where
the work was resumed last year. The work
is now going on rapidly, with the aid of
the facilities afforded by modern appliances.
Engineers say that had the work been pushed
forward with none but the methods and appli-
ances used at the time it was begun-hoisting
required quarter of century to complete it.
if it ever could have been completed at all. A
eyel sighted from the top of the monument now
will overtop all the hills surrounding the CITY.
except some back Of Georgetown. The line will
strike the dome of the Capitol about ten feet
above the point where it springs from the col
lonade.
