FAILING FOR MILLIONS.


Inability to Settle.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 30.-Morris Rangor for
mally announced to the president of the Liv-
erpool Cotton Association that be was I'M
able to meet the demands that have marured,
and that he had suspended payment. Liza
bilities are estimated at f650,O 900 at Liver
pool, and 94O, 600 in Havre.
Hollinshead, Tittley & Colt, cotton brok-
ers, have suspended. The suspension of R.
H.. Forman & Co., cotton brokers, is bullet
ined at the room of the Cotton Brokers' As
ISOLATION.
New York, Oct. 30.-The Commercial
Advertiser has the following regarding the
cotton failure: The firm of Morris Rangor e.
Co. is one of the largest in England, and is
composed OF Morris Ranger alone. The firm
was established in 1868, at the house of Fal-
man & Co., Broad street, whom Mr.. Ranger
was supposed to represent abroad. 1t is not
will be in the least affected
by Rangers suspension. Messrs,
Falman & Co. deny having any business re-
lations with the suspended firm, and can
throw no light upon the extent of the fail
wv, VI as u ~ pal lhNOANCO III III
country. Morris Ranger & Co. are reported
to have bought in or made settlements for a
heavy amount of September and October
short cotton, but they have anticipated this
by suspending. Their short contracts out
standing are estimated at from 100000 to
100, 900 bales.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-A Liverpool dispatch
says: Morris Ranyor's failure will probably
bring down a dozen or more Liverpool
firms. This is probably exaggerated.
1t is said New York will be affected to the
extent of 91O0, 900. In the meantime the
cotton business is entirely suspended. Mer-
chants and brokers are awaiting develop
ments.
The Times says: R. H. Forman & Co. IS
liabilities are estimated at $500, 600. 1t is
understood Morris Rangers liabilities in
Livervool are tolerably well divided among
cotton brokers. 1t is hoped gener-
ally that he will be able
to meet his engagements. Rangers
failure is generally attributed to the Ameri-
can system of dealing in futures, without
the American system of protection-security
by the deposit of margins, 1t is generally
hoped the latter system will be introduced in
England.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 30.-Major S. R. Crum-
baugh, collector of internal revenue for the
Second district of Kentucky, has been on
trial in the United States Court three days,
charged with using official envelopes for
private correspondence, To-day he was
found not guilty by a jury. The indictment
grew out of the efforts of certain parties to
have Crumbaugh dismissed in order that
they might secure his place. A large amount
of soiled political linen has been displayed
in the trial. The current opinion is that
there has been a conspiracy against Crum-
baugh. Most of his correspondence read in
the case related to his efforts to secure the
position of Secretary of the Navy, and
created much amusement when published.
An investigation by the Internal Revenue
Department. has been had, but the report and
decision of Commissioner Evans was with
held awaiting the result of this trial.

Indicting Chicago Brokers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-The Federal grand jury
to. day returned an indictment against Frank
L. Loring and John Fleming, who are sup
posed to have been principals in the firm of
Fleming & Merriam, which gained such ex-
tensive notoriety when it collapsed, one year
ago. The indictments allege that the firm
pretended to do " brokerage business on the
Chicago Board of Trade, but were really bent
upon appropriating to their own use the
money of persons contributing to a fictitious
fund, called by them the Mutual Co-operat-
i've fund" W. Loring and VIM. w. Miller
have also been indicted for carrying or a
similar business. The grand jury also made
a similar presentment. against Charles G.
Bennett and w, F. Haltzman, against whom
charges were preferred.

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSIONS.
Forty Persons Injured on a London Under.

Forty Persons Injured on a London Under.
ground Railway.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-At 8 o'clock last even
ing a terrible explosion occurred near Praed
street, at an underground station of the Met
ropolitan railway. On the first alarm a
strong Gordon of police was summoned to
keep order, clear away the idlers and convey
the wounded people to hospitals. Pas
sengers on the train at the time
of the explosion say there was suddenly
a loud report like a cannon, then a sudden
darkness, gas lights from the 'front.' to the
rear of the train being put out. The glass
was broken and splinters of wood flew about
the cars, cutting and %wounding many passen-
gers. Above the din was heard the shrieks
of the injured and panic-stricken
people. All this occurred in a
moment, and for a while confusion reigned
supreme. The train, which was crowded,
contained principally country vi %sitors, re-
turning from the fisheries exhibition. After
leaving the station the train travelled steadily
ahead, although the conclusion smashed
nearly all the lamps in the Praed-
street station, and caused much
damage to the permanent way. When the
train reached the next station, the first effort
was made to rescue the wounded. Some
were dreadfully burned, but more were pros
trated by fright. All doctors. surgeons, and
dispensaries in the neighbornood we're
called into requisttion. The first i'm
preston was that an accidental
explosion was the cause of the disaster, but
later inquiries tend to show malice. The
rear carriages were damaged most. These
were mere skeletons. Another theory is that
the explosion was caused by foul gas accu-
mulated in the tunnel. This, how
ever, is untenable, because no pre-
monitorv symptoms were observable.
1t is believed about forty persons were in
jured, some dangerously.
Almost simultaneously with the Praed
street affair, a violent explosion occurred on
the underground railway between Charing
Gross and Westminster stations. The
windows OF the signaling stations
in the tunnel were shattered
and at Charing Cross the glass roof
is described as being like that of artillery.
The effects were similar to those of the
Praed street explosion, the carriage lamps,
windows, etc, being smashed. All traffic
was suspended for q while.
Although both explosions we're matters
of the greatest mystery, they are generally
thought to have been of Fenian origin. The
shocks of both explosions are described by
the officials as very similar to the shock of
the explosion of the local government board
offices, in March last, in which
DIR. Gallagher was implicated. 1t is stated
that four machines similar to rocks were
found in the tunnel near Praed street 49,

lost. A fugitive from Kespit places the
deaths there at fifty, and the NUMBER
wounded at 125. At Ak Hissar forty per-
sons were buried beneath a landslide, and a
few more killed by falling walls. Bogazun-
da suffered a depletion OF about one-half of
her population, numbering 400 souls. OF
the Singertis people about one-thiro survive
to mourn the others. From scores of other
hamlets come similar reports, and when all
are in the loss of life will probably be oun
to aggregate we'll up in the thousands.
Along the coasts Of Greece the shocks yes
terday were very severe, and caused great
loss OF life and property. Advices from that
section are somewhat meager. At Capau
Vaila many buildings were thrown down
aud some eighty persons killed, while 1875
more were severely injured. At Mistra
double that number injured. Monembasia
also suffered considerable loss to both prop
erty and life. 1t is believed here that the
results all through the western coast OF
Greece will prove much more serious than
now reported.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
An Alabama Couple Reunited Under Pc
Guitar circumstances.

EUFAULA, Ala, Oct. 29.-Thirty-fve years
ago John BaDtweIl wooed and wed
Miss Jane Campbell, near Elamville. After
a few months of welded life the couple
parted, owing to the wife's jealousy of the
husband. Mr.. Bantwell took up his resi-
dence in Dale county, where he married, be-
came the father of a large family and ac-
cumulated a competency. Mrs. Bantwell re-
manned in her old home, and after a few
years became the wife of a man named John
son. All this took place without the pre-
liminaries OF a divorce. Recently the second
Mrs. Bantwell died, as did Mr.. Johnson,
thus leaving the original parties single once
more. Bantwell became greatly embarrassed,
and was In danger of losing all his his prop
erty through the claims of his creditors. In
this emergency he wen to his first wife,
represented his situation, and urged her to
resume their relations, which had never
been legally broken off, and thus, by taking
advantage of the laws protecting the
wife in the homestead, he could keep out of
ruin. The lady agreed to the proposition,
and the couple are now finishing their honey
moon so rudely interrupted t~hirty-fve years
ago.

A Cotton Failure in England Causes Values
to Recede.
Special to the indianapolis journal
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-There was a pause in
speculation to-day in the leading markets on
Change. There was a better feeling in wheat
at the opening and prices were advanced un-
der active trading, but later on the cotton
failure in England and the heavy selling of
Ream and others caused a reaction, and
values receded, the closing figures being nc
under yesterdays quotations. On call, the
market was irregular, bu closed firm, with
heavy sales of December and January, 1t is
about an even battle between the bulls and
bears. Vessels were engaged to carry $4,000
bushels East. The stock of wheat increased
271, 900 bushels.
Corn exhibited a good speculative feeling,
but closed about &c lower. On call, the
market was stronger, with moderate sales of
November and May principally. Vessels
were chartered for 496, 900 bushels. Holders
of November corn are quietly selling their
property.
Oats are a shade lower. but FIRM.
Pork is fr%actionally higher and steady.
Lard closed unchanged.
