THE WALL STREET FAILURES
Peculiar Situation OF Affairs Between
Stsdman & Co. and Cecil, Ward s. Co.
The Elder StedmaR Accused of Secur-
Tag Bonds Belonging to Cecil, Ward &c
Co., to Offset the Loss Incurred by His
Sons NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Affairs
Still Shady.

New YORK, August 20.-The more
the failures of E. q. Stedman & Co., c..
W. Ballou and Cecil, Ward & Go. are
discussed in the street, the more pecu-
liar are the actions of the various parties
concerned. Ballou has managed as yet
to keep bis affairs in the dark, but 1t has
been elected in regard to the younger
Stedman that he had laid his hands
upon certain securities of his firm and
put them as margin with Cecil, Ward
& Go. for private speculation. He lost
money, but Cecil, Ward & Co.
were insured against loss by
these deposits. In the course of
business Stedman represented to Cecil,
Ward & Co. that he was obliged to
change the securities from time to time
giving them others In their place. They
allowed him to do so. But one morn
ing Stedman, ST., returning from laying
the foundation stone of his New Hamp-
shire castle, saw his son with the securi-
ties, and inconsistently refused to allow
him to take them back to Cecil, Ward &
Co. Indeed some people go so far as to
say that he sent his son to obtain the
securities under promise of return
ing them. If this be SO, 1t is
difficult to see how Mr.. Stedman, ST.,
is not quite IS guilty as Mr.. Stedman,
Jr. The latter appropriated the securities
belonging to the firm Of @. E. Stedman
& Co., and the former those actually be-
longing to Cecil, Ward L Co. It would
seem that Mr.. Stedman, is bound to
show, if he wishes to clean his hands,
that Cecil, Ward & Co., knew that young
Stedman had no right to use these secur-
tiles as margin for his speculations,
and that will be a difficult job, as the
young man was partner of his fathers
and had just as much right to handle
all the securities as the old man, especi
ally when the latter was absent.

MICHIGAN BRIGANDS.
An Organized Band of ROughs Make q
Raid on a Party of Railroad LabOrers
Near Adrian, Mich, and Rob Them of
Their MOney-Seven of the Criminals
Arrested After Sharp Fight and
Lodged In Jail.

ADRIAN, Mich, August GA rank
case OF brigandage occurred in the west
ern part of this county Monday. A
new railroad, known as the Toledo and
Milwaukee, is being graded through
that section, and Monday was the day
on which the hands received their
monthly pay. Consequently many of
them were laying around flush and full
of liquor. Towards evening q gang of
about dozen men, believed to
be roughB from this city, recruited
by some professional thieves from De-
troit, made their appearance at Rome
Center, nine miles west of this place,
and commenced an indiscriminate raid
on every man they met on the road,
whom they assaulted and robbed, their
principal victims being the railroad
workmen. The fellows kept this up
until they reached the village of Addi-
son, where large gang of men, princi-
pally Italians, have their headquarters.
Here they attacked one or two, but the
alarm was given and the men, backed
by the citizens, drove the fellows out of
the place. A party of two score or more
soon organized, and those who were not
armed were furnished with revolvers
from the village hardware store, and the
pursuit was taken up.
About four miles from the village the
gang was overtaken and a sharp fusil.
lade inaugurated on both sides, the re-
suit being that seven of the robbers
were captured and lodged in the village
hotel. It is said that the excited work
men could hardly be restrained from
lynching the prisoners. On receiving
the news Sheriff Bidwell dispatched
three trusty deputies, including Anice
Whitmore, Lake Shore detective, to
the spot for the purpose of bringing in
the prisoners, and if possible securing
the arrest of the remaining members Of
the gang. Addison is away from any
telegraph station and twenty-ore miles
from this place. Up to 6 P. NJ. no fur
ther details of the affair have been re-
ceiyed.

novel; and so he did. The first chapter
told about nice young man and a pretty
young woman. Tue second told how
they fell in love. The third, very
pretty chapter, told how they took a
walk together in the evening and how
they got outside of town because the sun
went down and they couldn't see the cor
poration line. 1t was q very romantic
story, but he spoiled it in the next chap
ter. After the lovers were appropriately
seated in the shade of spreading oak,
although 1t was night, the young man
said: Adelaide, can no longer conceal
my feelings. 1 love you madly, dis
tractedly, wildly. / cannot live without
you. Your image is in my heart by night
and by day, and without you my life is
incomplete Now, that was all very
pretty, but-would you believe it?-
the lawyer commenced that maiden's
answer to that burning declaration with:
'The other party responded substantl-
ally as follows, and that took away all
the romance"

and Messrs. Hensler, of the Intelhgencer,
Pyott and Allen A. Herr, as Judges, re-
pared on Friday afternoon to the rear of
the Lancaster cemetery to have the vexed
question settled. The test prescribed
was to pitch ball on the opposite sides
OF three posts placed in straight line.
the one 25 feet from the first and the
other 22I feet from the second; in other
words to pitch the ball on the left side
OF the first, right side of the second, and
flet side OF the third, describing snake
like action and proving the existence of
the curve. For 8 number of attempts
Hoford failed to get the ball to curve
from the second post to the proper side
of the third, the ball frequently striking
the second post. Finally he got It
around to hit the third, post, and with a
few more efforts accomplished the task
to the satisfaction Of everybody present,
Mr.. Houston promptly handing over the
reward

A RICH HAUL,
Kansas, With q Box Filled With VAL
uables-He Admits that the Goods
Wore Stolen, but VIII Not Tell Where
The Plumber Valued at 81 800.

LAWRENCE, Kas., August GA haul
of thief that may unearth something
much larger was made by the chief of
police of the city on Monday evening.
j. P. Dugan, alias John Long, who
claims as his residence No. 468 State
Street, Chicago, was taken in, together
with his baggage, which consists of a
wooden box labeled on one side,
Manufactured by the Chicago
Torpedo Company, the best made. :"
On the inside of the cover was
the address, s. G. & Co., Dakota City.
The box was shipped to this city
by express from Dakota City and con-
tains ffty-six gold and silver swatch
chains, three sets of earrings, forty
three revolvers, seven elegant magnify
ing glasses, two field glasses, one opera
glass, ten movements of watches from
which the cases have been taken, one
pair of gold bracelets and twenty-eight
watch charms. The thief is young
man perhaps % years of age, though he
claims to be but 10. He weighs 1876
pounds, has light blue eyes, is
five feet five inches in height,
wears gray coat and vest and light
pants. He claims to have left Chicago
June LIST, and to have been travelling in
Iowa and Nebraska. In memorandum
book found on his person were the dates
Of several fairs, also of Robinson's show.
The box containing the goods has the
appearance of having been buried, and
many of the revolvers are badly rusted.
The total value of the whole stock found
is about 81, 500. He was caught through
his trying to sell one of the revolvers
for much less than its value. This
morning the spot where he opened his
box was visited, and two Dakota papers
found. He gave no reasonable account
of himself, admits the goods are stolen,
but says he does not propose to tell
where. It is thought here that this is
only one mans share in big steal, and
that the robbery probably took place in
Chicago. Dugan probably came here
to attend the Bismarck Fair, which
opens September Sd, and the rest of
his gang will probably be here in a day
or two.
