branch of seven miles in length, running
from Greenleaf, on the main line, to this
place. This is a Republican county, al

A Malicious Report.

NEW York, June 1O.-The Post says
that the malicious reports circulated
yesterday to the effect that the prominent
banking house of Wooreshoffer & Co
was in trouble appears 10 have been part
of cOncoctcd plan TO break the stock
market From all parts of the country
telegraphlc inquiries come about this
house, as if by arrangement and to make
the story plausible bets were offered
that the house would fail. Conclusively
with all this, large blocks of stocks with
which Wooreshoffer s. Co. have been
identified were thrown on the market.
This kind of warfare is dishonorable,
and at the present critical time would
be productive, directly and indirectly,
of such damage that the stock exchange
should investigate the matter and lead
the way in such prosecution as the law
will warrant.

New YORK, June 10.-News has
reached the city of the mysterious
laundering at sea of the British steamer
PenedO, on May 9Th, about 20 miles
northeast of PoloSantO, one oftheNadeira
islands. The vessel was from Rio jan
GIRO bound for Glasgow, and the circum-
stances attending the loss shows how
weak may be British built steamship.
The PeRedO was an iron vessel of ,029
tons gross register, built ut Westhorth-
pool, England, in 1879, hence she could
not be termed on old vessel. From the
statements of twenty-five of the crew,
who were saved out of total of twenty.
six, it appears that in moderate head
of sea she cracked amidships, her decks
started up and she foundered in two
minutes afterwards. Fifteen of the
crew managed to save themselves in one
of the boats. Seven others were saved
by clinging to some of the wreckage, and
four were drowned.
