QUIETING DOWN.
The Excitement in Financial Circles
Gradually Subsiding.
Monetary Affairs in Wall Street and
Throughout the Country Resum-
ing Their Wonted Condition.

New YORK, May l7.-Affairs in ilnan-
cial circles wore more settled aspect
this morning, and the rush and turmoil
which has characterized Wall, Broad and
New streets the past several days has al
most entirely disappeared Matters seem
rapidly settling down to their regular
routine Yesterday having passed with
but one small failure, brokers and specu-
lators left the street last evening feeling
more at ease than at any time since the
commencement of the panic. No ominous
reports were in circulation, and nothing
that in any way portended or foreboded
trouble for this morning.
Affairs at the Offices of the suspended
firms are progressing much as they were
the days preceding the crash, and the
members of the various concerns when
asked as to their affairs, stated that they
were rapidly getting matters in shape,
some going so far as to say that their re-
sumption would be only question of
few days. At the Metropolitan Bank
matters are running smoothly and there
are no external signs of anything unusual
going on. Confidence appears to be grad
uay growing, and trepidation and
feverish anxiety are giving place to
hope. The opening transactions
were characterized by strong tone,
and stocks were bought in as
rapidly as offered. In fact, during the
first ten minutes it was a regular rush to
buy and prices jumped up rapidly At
the expiration of the first ten minutes
values showed an Improvement of l-2 to
2 per cent. AT the first board the buying
began to flag and was followed in the
next hour by vigorous selling. Con-
siderable stock was thrown OH the mar
ket for some cause then unknown and
caused alarm among the timid opera
tors. The latter also began to
unload and in little while
prices were going down at rapid
rate. 1t was subsequently learned that
the selling and unloading of stock was
the result of arrangements between Rus
sell Sage and several holders of privileges
on him. The purport of the agreement
was that the holders of privileges should
sell out in the market stock he had
bought to deliver and receive check
from Sage equal to the difference be-
tween the price obtained and the price
fixed in put.
At 1880 prices, under the selling, re-
acted to the lowest figures.

BUFoRD AND THE MOB.
An Exciting Experience at the Close OF

Chicago NeW.

The tragic death of Gen. Abe Buford of
Kentucky, recalls story he told during his
last visit to Chicago. 81 have passed through
many trying and perilous scenes" he said to
party of friends, "but never felt so near
deaths door as at Springfield, H., just after
the war. To begin with, / had narrow escape
during our fighting in Georgia. Our forces
were encamped with tho union troops in our
front. The sentry lines were thrown out as

powerful horse. During my absence
the union forces drove back our
lines and occupied the same ground with
their own pickets. This was unknown to
me, and / WAS surprised aud alarmed on my
return to be halted by as union soldier. L
attempted to ride on. Tho soldier tried 10
stop my horse with his bayonet. Drawing
my revolver | fired at him, and rode on to
camp without waiting to see the effect OF tho
shot The war won't on and finally ended.
We surrendered to the superior forces on tho
union side, and went home, Soon afterward

which had left in charge of Willis Renfrow.

as warm MS usual, on his Inst round.
He couldn't get to stay all night with
81 good republican, but had to heel it
on till he reached the residence OF his
old friend, It, NJ. Turner, mail robber
and ex-penitentiary convict. This is
some Of the fruits Of his last summers
speech delivered at Sneedville, calling
the Taylor element a little squirt ele-
ment composed of fools and beardless
boys, who had better go back and tar
ry in Jerico till their beard grew
out. He said we didn't have enough
sense to get in bed right and too fool
ish to know how to snorC when we
got to sleep. He said we would be
like the boy that climbed the mules
tail his father ran to him and picked
him up and said "Son, you are not
as good looking as you were, but you
will have q id sight more sense
thereafter" Old PETIT must remember
that Hancock county voted n large
vote for Hon. A. A. Taylor than i
voted for Fraud PETIT, and that hi
speech of abuse against the Taylo
element will set right handsome ma
jority for King in November Han
cock county is loyal for Blaine an
