The Charges Against the Ninth Massa-
chuSettS.
THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE AT WORK IN THIS

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE AT WORK IN THIS
CITY.
Messrs. Horace B. Sargent Jr., OF Boston, Daniel
F. DOlan, OF Lawrence, Mass, and Arthur Lincoln
OF Boston, the committee designated by Gov. Long
OF Massachusetts,, to investigate the charges
against the Ninth Massachusetts, Regiment during
their trip to Yorktown, arrived In this city last
evening, and are stopping at the Arlington.
Having finished their Investigation in Virginia,
they are now making inquiries In this city, as TO the
conduct OF the regiment in this city, Mr.. Lawrence
stated to STAR reporter this morning that the
committee had not yet made its report, and all
publications purporung to represent what the
committee would report were Unauthorized. The
committee, he said, would not make a report until
it reached Boston, and meanwhile would decline
to give out anything for publication.
A dispatch from Boston says that the colonel OF
the 9Th Massachusetts, regiment has received let
ter from E. B. Grubb, colonel OF the New Jersey
battalion, denying that reports detrimental to the
Massachusetts regiment were originated or cfrcu-
lated by him or members OF his battalion. He says
that as field officer of the day he had nothing to
report OF the 9th Massachusetts, except their excel
lent drill, and states that the injurious reports
emanated from editorial columns OF Richmond
journals
The committee were at Parker's headuua rters
to-day, and search OF the records failed to de-
velOp any charge against any member OF the regi-
ment while they were in this city. A certificate
to that effect was given, and the committee took
the O'Clock train tOr home.

Wall Street TODAY.

NEW YORK, November 7.-The Posts financial
article q 40 p.m edition) says: At the Stock Ex-
change United States bonds are dull and steady;
railroad bonds strong and southern state bonds
dull and steady. The share speculation continues
to run almost exclusively to specialties These in
the early dealings, were buoyant. Richmond &
Danville advanced AZ per cent to 119L, d. &. r. G.
to S5k. Texas & Pacific IL to SO. Norfolk &
Western pfd. IL to 81, K. & 7. la to 43x, Col
coal q to 53x, Erie to 4SA and Missouri Pacific
to 107. The general list during this time advanced
fraction. but was dull. Evidently the early ad-
vance was taken advantage OF to sell, and since IL
O'Clock Richmond & Danville has fallen per cent
and the remainder OF the list fraction The
market as we write being extremely dali and in
tone barely steady. It was expected that Trunk
line railroad rates would be put up to-day, but an
advance has not yet been reported. The advance
In ID. & r: G. is dull to the expectation that
the unlisted bonds of the company will soon be
placed on the stock exchange. In the money
market sac per cent is the quotation for call loans
on stocks, 4a5 per cent for that on United States
bonds, per cent for time loans, and .6a7 per cent
for prime mercantile paper. The demand from
the south for currency Is steadily increasing The
market for foreign exchange is very dull.

above OF tie amount OF water that might
be expected. The marks taken at late
hour last night indicated 81 feet and rising,
with the channel running full OF shore
ice. River men differ somewhat as To the
the probabilities OF flood, II Is safe,
however, to say that we will have q big
river by this evening, at which time 1t
will be more clear as TO what proportions
the river will be likely to assume.

A few "reminiscences In regard to former
foods may not be uninteresting at this
time. The flood OF 1882 was the highest,
covering every portion oil the Island ex'
cept small mound, upon which the Der.
ger residence now stands. In 1852, All.
Marks says the steamer Air Line, Of which
boat he was engineer, with Capt, Roberts
In command, steamed up what Is now
Twelfth street, and was turning down
Main street, when the Mayor stopped her
and made her back out. In 1868 the rains
descended and floods came, and we had
what was called pumpkin flood, taking
place In September. In 1865 the water
rose and we again experienced the incon.
venienCes OF flood.
