DECLINE IN STOCKS.

New York, July 19.-The Commercial
Bulletin says: There was to-day a fur
ther decline in leading speculation stocks
of l per cent. At times the excitement
ran high, although at no time was the
market in the condition of panic. The
only new fuel added to the flame was the
information that the trunk line railroads
had reduced passenger rates from New
York to Chicago to $40, and scalpers
We're. selling some tickets at $3.50, and
that freight rates were, if possible, more
demoralized than ever. Notwithstand-
ing this news, which should have de.
pressed trunk line shares more than 9TH
er stocks, they were better sustained
than almost any other, large orders to
buy having appeared. Throughout the
day the weakest stocks were Milwaukee
& st. Paul, which no longer has strong
pool to sustain it, and Jersey Central,
Denver and Rio Grande, and Northern
Pacific preferred. In the last hour Union
Pacific. Cent ralP Pacific, Delaware, Lack.
awana and Western, and Southwestern
stocks We're given turn by the bears
and all declined. The stock exchange
brokers known as 'scalpers." were very
active to-day on the bears, and many
holders of stocks threw them over. II il
known on the other hand that some Of
the strongest men who speculate il
stocks had sealed orders to take large
amounts, and were quiet buyers at every

The attorney general has decided that
silver dollar is dollar. The question
came up relative to- the redemption of
national bank notes. The United States
treasurer desired construction of the
law which requires him, in terms to re.
deem national bank notes in legal tender
notes. He wished an opinion from the
attorney general, under which he might
act, as he did not feel authorized to con-
strue the law to mean that he could re-
deem national bank notes with silver
dollars, although they, have been made
legal tender for all purposes. The at
torney general replies that the laws have
made the silver dollar legal tender for
oil purposes, and that the silver dollar
act placed silver dollars on an equality
with any legal tender money aud that it
was 10 be presumed that national bank
noees could not bo redeemed in gold
IL mas not, however, been the custom to
redeem them in gold, on account of the
tecnn'cal language of the law, but by the
decision OF the attorney general gold md
silver and United States notes nra nut
upon M equality. The redemnt;on
checks of the treasurer which have bith.
erto read "Redeemable or PAYABLE i,
United States notes." now read .pavnhl,

Marysville, Mo-. special, dated to-day,
says: Sheriff Toel, of NodaWay county,
received, this morning, q letter from Gov.
Crittenden, instructing him to prepare to
carry out the sentence of death in the
case Of the Talbot boys, whose execution
was deferred by the governor from June

Panama, July 7.-Tbe Star and Her
AIDS Lima letter says: A detachment of
Chilians attacked band of Peruvians at
Pueblo Viego, captured thirteen with
arms in their hands and shot them to
death. Quick pursuit was given the re.
mainder, who were to be given no quar-
ter. The remainder of the Indians at
tackled the Chilian troops near Cerro de
Pasco. They were quickly surrounded
and the mortality among them is said to
have been fearful. A story is afloat that
a detachment of Chilian tropps was yery
severely handled by Col. Caceres, near
Chicola Caceres.
Boston, July 19.-,The tunnel express
which left Boston at G:30 this morning,
and the Saratoga express, due here at
4:!5 p. M, over the Fitchburg road, col
lided between Zoar and Charlemont
about noon to-day. The reports are mea-
gre and conflicting, but from what can
be learned the engineer of the west
bound train and the fireman of the east
bound train were killed and the other
engineer and fireman badly injured. A
later dispatch from the scene of the acci-
dent says Engineer Corliss died from his
injuries, making in all three deaths. On
ly the locomotive and baggage cars of
each tram were injured.
Syracuse, July 19.-The Weitinp
opera-houss block, in the center of the
city, containing one of the hanasomest
opera-houses in the state, burned early
this morning. 1t was wholly destroyed
within two hours. being the most disas.
trous fire in Syracuse in thirty years.
The estimated loss is upwards of $780,
600. Fully fifty tenants occupied the
block and lose to considerable amounts.
The block was four stories high, covering
half an acre. and valued at 100000; in.
sured for $4,000.

He is not out of Danger and Will not be for
Some Time.
Washington, July 17.-Dr. A. H. j ohm
son, OF Chicago, who stopped here o
short time on his way to New York,
whence he will sail to attend the medi-
cal congress in London, has taken great
interest in the presidents case, and took
pains to inform himself while here,
through medical friends as to the exact
status OF it.. Before leaving for New
York Or. johnson said: ut is folly to
say that the president is out of danger.
No surgeon can say that until it is defin-
itely known where the ball is, and what
Its condillon is, and it may be four weeks
before it will be possible to say that. If
1t shall become developed that the ball
has become encysted in the muscles
along the lower part of the spine. below
the spot where it entered, us some think,
or if in like manner, it has formed a nat,
usal sac for itself in the anterior walls of
the abdomen, as the attending physi-
Clans think, the president unless there is
a relapse, may be expected to recover:
but if when lie is able to sit up, at the
end of perhaps four weeks, it becomes
apparent that the ball is loose in the alb
domen, or in some place where il can
create irritation aud cause an abcess
which cannot be reached, there will then
of course, be great danger. The pres
ent situation is hopeful for the president
put 1t is IN great measure hope in the
dark, and will continue to be SO until II
is known where the ball is"
An eminent army surgeon agrees with
Or. johnson that it is impossible to pre-
dict that the president will recover until
the location OF the ball is known. He
said: mo one can now certainly say
where it is. The attending physicians
and the consulting physicians, tor that
matter, are not agreed upon it. Accord
to the diagnosis Of DR.. Bliss, in which
the three attending doctors agree, the
ball passed through the liver, went
around the abdominal cavity, and is
lodged in the anterior wall of the abdo-
men. DIR. Hamilton, of New York, on
the contrary, possibly the greatest au.
thority on gunshot wounds IN this coun-
try, who was called in counsel, and who
made personal examination of the
president, is of opinion that the ball is
not in the anterior wall of the abdomen,
but lodged in some Of the muscles along
the lower part Of the spine, directly be-
low the. spot where the ball entered the
body, and it must not be forgotten that
the ball is conical ball, and not round.
Ii 1t Is loose i'll the abdomen, that fact
may enable it to do greater mischief, as
there would be more danger on account
OF its conlcal form that it might pierce
one OF the intustines."

DeEastations OF the Army Worm in Illinois.
Chicago, July 21.-A pest that resem-
bles the army worm and goes by that
name. though substantial differences be-
tween the two are discernable, has made
its appearance in the oat fields of Illinois.
fhe fall wheat was seriously damaged
by the severity of the winter and spring
wheat was retarded by the lateness of
the season. Farmers have had to plow
up their wheat fields to. large extent
and SOW them with oats in order to get
anything from the soil, and now comes
the army worm and devours the oats. The
worm is chiefly found in the northern
part Of the state. The rapidity with
which it devours is shown in the state.
ment of one correspondent that field
OF forty acres of oats was destroyed in
rty-eight hours. The worms appeared
to be governed by considerations that
are unfathomable, for they will COM
pletcly destroy one field of OTIS and
leave another field, separated by rail
fence, untouched. Unfortunately, how
ever, the fields left untouched are not
very numerous. In the fields that are
ravishcd the worm discriminates careful
ly between tender and succulent
stalks and those that are
comparatively old and dry. The latter
they avoid. Estimates of the loss cannot
be made with any degree of accuracy, as
the worms are still at work, and no one
knows what they may accomplish
before they get through. It is
impossible to tell exactly how much harm
they have done in the fields they have
visited, because, as stated, they do not
destroy every stalk, and not till the crop
has been harvested will it be known how
much in the ravished fields was too dry
to suit them, but it is known that the
damage will be immense, and in Will
county it is believed that it can't fall
below million bushels,andi if the worms
move faster than the oats ripen, the loss
will exceed that. Although oats is their
favorite food, the worms will not go hun.
cry when they can find none of this
grain. In default of oats they attack
the young and juicy corn stalks.
