The RayerstIcIl- ConkIing Tragedy.
NEW YORK. March 21st.-Ths brokers at
the Mining Exchange, through committee
appointed yesterday, drafted revolutions OF
regret and coincidence over tie untimely end
of Hsyerstick, which were adopted this after
noon.
A brother of deceased arrived to. day from
Pennsylvania TO take charge Of the remains,
which viii probably be buried there.
While not disposed TO talk much OF the
shooting, there is an under-current of opinion
that the particulars are not. and probably
will not be fuller known. It is thought by
some, who knew Raverstick's relations with
MIS-. Uhler while living. that there were
many circumstances which would, if known.
somewhat mitigate the present harsaness Of
the public judgment. It il stated that Haver-
stick YVES not notably fast or licentious
man, and the story of his luxurious style of
living is absurd, as well as many other sensa.
tional accounts of the affair.
Following are the resolutions adopted
WHEREAS The members of the New York Mining
Stock Exchange, having heard Of the death OF w.
II. Haverstick with ain and regret:
Res0iued, That they sadly bear testimony to the
ability and integrity OF Haverstick as a business
man, and to his uniform kindness and courtesy to
his fellow members of the Exchange.
Resolved, That the sudden and tragic death OF
their fellow member should not only remind them
of the uncertainty of life but should impress on the
minds of all with terrible solemnity the obligation
to SO live that when death shall come they may
sand in the sight of God and before men without
fear and without reproach.
ReS0lUed, That the tenderest sympathy Of this
Exchange be rendered to the aged mother and other
members OK the family Of deceased.
The Times details of the Haverstick trag-
edy state that lately Hayeratick has been in
partnership with lis brother, S. A. Haver-
stick, who lives in Pennsylvania. Uhler has
an ofice in the Mills building, but has not
done much business of late. Members of the
Mining Exchange spoke very highly of Hav-
erstici. though they are Inclined TO the gen.
eral opinion that the shooting was something
to have been expected under the circum-
stances. A COMMITTEES was appointed to take
charge of his contracts, memoranda of
which were found in the room where he was
killed. He had been on the floor of the Ex-
change Monday until o'clock, and had done
great deal of business. He was" q
broker said yesterday, all right on the mar
ket. He was short Of mining stocks, aud SO
his contracts are all good" Another commit
tee was appointed TO drsw up ret of resolu-
lions to be sent to HaYerstick's mother in San
Francisco.
The Herald says that Uhler, before the
separation, one evening found thst his wife
had been away for hours. lie met her at the
door and when she attempted TO enter he
said, "Where have you been -

been she construed, he alleges, into refusal
to further support her, and on it she based
the charge Of abandonment. Shortly after
this Mrs. Uhler left her husbands house and
went TO live with Hsverstick. The children
wers sent by Uhler to bis parents. August
Both, Uhler brought suit in the Superior
Court for 5000 damages sgains Haverstick
for his action in tie matter.
The inquest on the body of William III.
Haverstick was resumed this uiorning. Sew.
eral Witnesses vera examined. but no new
facts elected Mrs. Uhler, slater of Conkling,
is still in the hospital suffering from nervous
prostratiop, and was unable to be present.
1t was expected that she would recover suffi.
GENTLY by tomorrow to permit her attend
ance, and the inquest was adjourned until
then.
Mrp. Uhler obtained permission from the
Coroner to look at the body, and drove to the
undertaker's accompanied by physician and
an officer. A brother of the dead man arrived
to-day, and this evening started with the
body for Carlisle, Pa.
The Financial Outlook.
New York, March 21st.-The Public will
say tomorrow The general tenor Of ex-
changes ia steadily improving, both at New
York and elsewhere. Thera is better state
of things than appeared last week, though
the money market has been tight. The mar
ket value of shares sold is S577, 4S5, 800 for
last week, against S572, 0O5, sol in 1882, and
S571. 322 GIL in 1881. It is long since the
payments at New York, not arising from
stock operations, have shown any increase in
comparison with these previous years. On
the other hand, the improvement in compsr-
alive exchanges outside of New York contin-
ues, and the rate of increase recorded for last
week q per cent is the highest for thirteen
weeks. There is strong evidence Of q more
healthy condition of business, though it is
well not to forget that at several points spec
ulstion il products has largely taken the
place of speculation in stocks. Whether the
improvement. which has thus far been real
and substantial, out not Of the sort TO bear
