wrecked. Their names are TObe Cross.
Aaron Jackson and Burrill Scuggins.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Dr. Felix A.
O'Hare was arrested to-day on a charge
of killing patient, Michael Larry, to
whom it is alleged that he administered
poison. Larry, who was i'll, went to the
DOCTORS office with two companions and
received medicine. Shortly after taking
it he died. An autopsy showed he died
from acid poison. The doctor says that
he gave Larry acOnite, but as he went to
Lary's house Immediately after his death,
took away the medicine and destroyed it,
it seems impossible to ascertain what he
really did give him.

daughter was attacked with asevere cold,
which settled on her lungs. We tried
several medicines, none of which seemed
to do her any good, but she continued to

TUESDAY, May l3-P. ~
The speculative situation at the Stock Exchange
to-day developed further generalization. The con-
tinued outpOuring of long" stocks was sufficient
to swamp the better feeling that was evidenced by
sharp rally of to per cent which followed the
first half hour of depression. The situation is ag-
gravated by the fact that holders of Union Pacific
Northwestern, st. Paul. Western Union and some
other stocks. who. when prices had declined TO
within 20640 per cent of present figures paid lit
tic heed 10 information that was given concerning
the properties, are now anxious sellers The market
also has been much damaged by the new system Of
enforcing daily premiums for the use of. stock,
in that it has kept the shortr interest down
to minimum and therefore has taken from it q
buying power that is always useful at critical
periods. In fact. the buying In under the rule"
of the last two OF three days, while prices have
been declining so rapidly, has suggested the sus-
poion that II and the manipulation of the stock
loan market come from the two or three leading
bears " instead OF from holders of stock. At all
events it is now demonstrated that such operations
have proved of greater benefit TO the larger bears"
than TO any one else, and that it at the same time
has destroyed the arbitrage business between
London and New-Ysrk, SO that while at curIont
