men.
NEW YORK Aup Ii

NEW YORK, Aug. Is.
The United States senatorial sub-commt-
tee on labor and education continued its in.
quiry today regarding. the telegraph strike.
The examination of John McLelland was re-
sumed. He submitted a quantity of evidence
that he had prepared concerning the iron clad
oaths which employers in various industries
were in the habit of administering to work
men when they received them into their SER
vice. The list included the pottery manufac-
factory at East Liverpool, o., last year,
which was administered in consequence of
the lockout, and which was an agreement on
the part of the workmen in their employ not
to connect themselves with any labor organ
ization.
The witness said no; the Western Union
adopted similar plan and he could produce
employees who would prove it. Threats had
been made by many railroad companies that
they would discharge every man whom they
discovered TO be a member of the brother
hood of telegraphers. Among others, the
Pennsylvania and Michigan Central railroads
had employed this means. Other instances
Of means taken by capital to enslave work
inRmen were given by the witness.
Among these was the contract of the lease,
executed by the Hawks West Coal company,
of Ansted, w. Va, and its employees, for the
rent Of houses upon the property Of the COM
Pany. The conditions upon which the en-

Better Outlook in the Stock Market
Stocks Active and Stronger
But Feverish.
New YORK. Aup. IL.

New YORK, Aug. Is.
Railroad bonds were active and feverist
in Wall street this fo moon. The stock
market opened active and irregular. r. Hal

is being bought on London account. There
are evidences of support to the market
John w. Mackey will be elected president
of the Postal Telegraph company today.
1t is reported that several New England
banks have called in heavy loans made on
Gould stocks.
The New York Herald today advises the
outside public to keep out of Wall street.
The day opened with an improved feeling
in financial circles, and the markets for Sc
cureties showed an advancing tendency. Eff
forts were made to break Western Union and
other stocks which yielded momentarily; but
the shorts were evidently anxious to cover
and under their purchases an advance of 4 to
% took place, the latter in Northern Pacific
common. Dealings were large and attended
with some excitement.
large number of persons thrOnged the
visitors gallery of the stock exchange this
morning, expecting to see the scenes of yes
terday repeated. Western Union stock,
which closed at "A yesterday, dropped to 724
on the opening of the market today. 1t was
feared that railroad stocks would suffer a
sliniiaT uecilhe, out prices opeHeu AT sllRnt
advance on the closing figures of yesterday
and soon Western Union rallied and sold for
IA but shortly declined to 73. Several brok-
ers expressed the opinion that no failures
would occur today. and that the feverish feel
ing would subside before the close of the
days business. The officers of the stock ex-
change thought there was foundation for hope
and encouragement in the present outlook
George William Ballou & Co have not as
yet prepared statement of their condition.
They expect, however, to have it completed
some time during the day.
The stock market is strong, and advanced
on reports that the telegraph strikers had
petitioned Eckert for work. Round amounts
of stocks are being taken at advancing fig
ures.
1t is roughly estimated that Ballou's liabil-
tiles are from $500, to 100000.

The directors of the ST. Adams Trust COM
pany issued statement to the effect that the
Vermont National Bank offers the company
$50, 900 which is secured by the stock of the
bank. and considerable portion of this may
yet be saved. The Trust company also holds
considerable paper, amount not stated, Of the
Norwood Lumber company of New York, but
this is secured by an assignment of the entire
property of the company, consisting of GO, 900
acres of land, thirty large mills and valuable
machinery. and other property, which if judi
iciously managed, is undoubted security for
the debt. Other assets of the company are
real estate mortgage notes, which can be re-
lied upon without great loss.
The directors state that they see no reason
to apprehend any loss to depositors in the
end, but will be closed up and a receiver ap-

A Statement of the Assets and LlabiIi-
ties Of the Firm.

BosroN. Aug l5
The creditors of F. Shaw & Bros. met
this morning at the Shoe and Leather Ex-
change. Fayette Shaw. senior partner has
made a statement explaining the causes which
led to the firms embarrassment. When the
failure of the Pacific Bank occurred. in 1881,
several of their large customers came to
them and asked for help. This was given
and nothing asked in return. Meanwhile
the volume of paper which was then used to
raise money for them had became large and
was found to affect our single named paper.
Finally, as a temporary emergency. as we
supposed at the time, we were obliged to ask
them for their paper. The result has been
we have had to raise on the double paper
named to raise money. This paper
aroused suspicion. We continued until
we saw clearly that if these other houses
could not take care of themselves our house
could not carry the burden longer. state
ment of the firms liabilities and assets was
then presented by the assignee +. A. Wyman
as follows: Liabilities. direct, S46l2 900;
contingent, 81, 1897 900; total, So, 100 900;
assets, 1852 90; also claims against parties
with whom they have had dealings to an
amount unable to state. Today. of the con-
tingent liabilities, 1854 900 is insolvent.
and the balance is thought not to be provided

collateral amounting to Sl69, 500 for part of
the contingent liabilities, of which S44 700 is
called good and the balance is insolvent.
The firm have accepted drafts for hides to
arrive to the amount of 64,5l5 pounds on
letters of credit. The titles of these hides
has never vested in them. the bills of lading
being in the names of banks.
After the statement had been read Mr..
Niles, representing the New York creditors,
moved the appointment of an advisory COM
mittee of five to act with the assignee and in
all questions of doubt to decide in. favor of
the creditors. This was subsequently modi-
fed and committee of nine was appointed
by the meeting, as follows, to nominate an
advisory and investigating committee of five:
