A TALL, stylish-Ook woman, lead
ing a greyhound, passed the balcony of
a Saratoga hotel on which two gentle
men were standing. "What a gbeauti-
full creature!" exclaimed one of them
in voice that proved loud enough for
the lady to hear. Turning very red,
she glanced angrily at the speaker and
said: "You have no right to insult me,
sir" Excuse me, madam, F." he replied,

phrases. The ordinary street language
of the day seems to be every bit as ia

Colonel Ingersoll condensed into a
sentence his creed and his hope when
he stood at the grave of his friend,
John G. Mills. He said: "Hc lived,
he loved, he was loved. This is
enough. The longest life contains no
more. This fills the vase of joy"
The Rochester Democrat adds in the
way of comment: "As a greater
preacher than lpgersoll has said: "A
fool also is full of words; man can
not tell what shall be; and what shall
be after him, who can tell him?' Let
Us eat, drink and be merry. for to-
morrow we die" is the cid, old phi
losophy Of fools. Which is the better
philosophy to live by and to die by
this, or that which on Easter morning

in business like manner. He added he
would have given large sum outright,
and would willingly have advanced $780,
OOOif that would have averted the failure,
but he could not assume the whole load
carried by McGeoch and the latter offered
no security.
THE LOSSES
of the six firms outside of McGeoch,
whose names have already been
given, are estimated as follows: j.
M. Ball & Co, 100000; Ellis
d Lightner, 100000; Tabor & Wilson, $40,
600; Holly & Allen, $3O,OOO; Crofts & Co.,
$4,000; Martin & Co., $4,000. One In
dlanapolls firm is reported to have been
caught to the extent of $4,000, but no
name Is given. McGeoch was reported to
have been worth $500,OOO, and his leading
partner, Daniel L. Wells, is supposed to
have been worth $3,0OO,O00. A member of
the broken firm in an interview tonight
ascrlbed the failure in measure to the
lard investigation, and declared it caused
local banks to scale down on their advances,
and by this means the crash was hurried
on prematurely. and but for which fact
the firm might have been able to carry
out their contracts.
WHAT PETER SAYS.
McGeoch, in an interview tonight, as
serted that the pending lard investigation,
which his firm had instituted, was the
primary cause of the failure. 1t had re-
duced consumption, created doubt in very
many quarters, very materially decreased
speculation and placed the firm in posi-
tion where it could no longer carry on its
deals. He asserted that he would con-
tinue to prosecute the lard Investigation.
He could not state, until the smoke had
cleared away, to what extent or in what
manner his firm could meet its liabilities.
THE NEWS IN NEW YORK.
New YORK, June 16,-Fowler Brothers,
agents in this city of McGeoch, Evering-
ham q Co., were not at their Office to-day,
and their representative could not give
any information. On the floor of the pro-
duce exchange to-day there was an active
time and crowd in attendance especially
for Saturday, but at no time was there any
excitement to indicate that owing to the
Chicago failures, panic was feared.
Dealings in lard were very heavy, and q
fear was expressed that some failures
would be reported in the lard trade, but
otherwise the market was strong.

NEW lORE.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. ]


New YORK, June 16.-The market to-day
has not been so satisfactory to the bulls as
yesterday, There was but a small busi-
ness transacted, and the early feeling was
dull and weak. There was break in the
morning, but this was partially recovered
later on. ST. Paul sold down to 105, but
closed at 1855. Northwestern opened at
1872 Is, sold up to 1885 and then receded
to 1924. Vanderbilt brokers are particu-
larly bullish. One who is supposed to
represent the views of Mr.. VIM. H. Wander
biIt more closely than any other, said to-
day he believed the Vanderbilt stocks
would sell much higher, and that
the short interest would cover several
points above ruling rates. There is
understood to be basis of truth in the
report that large short interest in Lake
Shore has been settled on private terms.
The result increased the general uncer-
tainty. Those who realized 2 points lower
feel very unwilling to buy now what they
sold then. Those who were short when the
rise began, and who have been averaging
~, fnd their outstanding interest larger
than is pleasant in view OF the general
strength of prices. 1t was officially an
n0unced this morning that Geo. Gould
reached Queenstown at O'Clock. The
people who so persistently denied the fact
Of Mr. Gould sailing for Europe find
themselves in rather unenviable
position. It is understood Mr.. Gould
proposed TO leave the steamer at Queens
town and speed as rapidly as possible to
London. \ prominent Wall street house
teIegraphed last night to one of the gov
ernors Of the London Exchange for infOr-
nation as to whether an application for
the listing of Western Union had been
made. He received an answer that up to
this morning no formal application to list
had been entered. It is claimed by others
that the application could not properly be
made until a certain amount of
stock was registered in the names
OF residents Of the United Kingdom. It
supposed that the stocks conveyed by Mr.
Gould vii! be made the basis for the appIi-
cation to list. 1t is understood something
N connection with st. 10 i Western is
likely to be announced within few days.
The rumor is that the st. 10 6C Western is
to be leased to the Missouri Pacific. This
done the Missouri Pacific is to surrender
its lease of the Central branch, which will
then be leased by the Burlington & Quincy
and extended to a point on the Burlington
and Quincy line. The object of the move
is alleged to be the prevention of extension
into Missouri Pacific territory by the Bur
hnyton s. OuincE
