scription. The confusion prevailing, to-
gether with the noise of thousand throats
all yelling. at once made it almost
impossible for business to go on
Block upon block of stock was
thrown on the market regardless of conse-
ouence, while several thousand shares were
sold under the rule for the account OF the
suspended firms Everyone seemed to have
lost their senses, and one looking at scenes
in the board room from the galleries would
have theught that he had struck lunatic
asylum rather than the place where the
bulls and bears daily met in competition.
At the lowest point Of the morning which
was touched about midday, prices showed
decline ranging from one to 8 per cent,
most marked in Northern Pacific preferred,
Union Pacific, Western. Union, Louisville
and Nashville, Northwestern shares, st.
Paul, Missouri Pacific and several other
leading speculatives. Since then there has
been slight rally, the selling movement
having sensibly diminished and the market
at this hour is feverish and unsettled.
What Folger Says.
Secretary FOlger says the break is due to
reckless speculation by few men. The
situation is not inherently weak. He will
do everything in his power to prevent strin.
gency. He stated that there is plenty OF
money in the country, saying, II do not an
ticipate any extensive panic. The situation
is not as weak as people suppose. | shall
do everything in my power to restore conf
dence"

A CONNECTICUT SENSATION.
Queer transactions In Car Company stock

Queer transactions In Car Company stock.
BRIpGEroRT, CONN., MAY li.-Mayor ID.
N Morgan and twenty other citizens at
tached the property of John Hurd, of this
CITY, for $3.50, 900 and an accounting. Hurd
is treasurer of the loosatonc Rolling Stock
and Car Company, aud has sold thousands
of dollars worth of the stock in this vicinity.
The April dividend has been stopped. The
city was greatly excited to-day as soon as
facts became known. The company was
organized in 1851 with a capital stock of
100000. II was provided that the com
pany might at its desire increase the number
of cars and issue stock upon them for their
individual benefit. 1t is alleged that Hurd
and Miles have increased the stock To
81 100000
This company, like eight or nine others
Of a similar nature, was organized under the
laws of Michigan. Mr., Miles is secretary of
the organizations in Michigan. Mr.. Hurd
also is the president and treasurer Of these
companies. Mr.. Hurd was for years direc.
tor in the Pequoneck National bank, but at
the election in January was dropped. IL is
estimated that Hurd has made 81 800 600
from these operations. He is largely inter
estcd in the firm Of Hurd Hotchkiss 4 Ne
Fsrand, who about year ago bought
large tract Of woodland in the Adrondacks.
The Hoosatonic Rolling Stock Company
own and operate $500 freight cars and the
stockholders are principally residents of
New England. 1t is estimated that Mayor
d. n. Morgan, who is also broker and
who is president Of the City National Bank,
through whom the attachment is made
holds $7j 600 of the stock.

scenes on Wall and Adjacent Streets.
l2N-At l2 o clock Wall street was a
mass of people from Trinity Church to the
Custom House and both the sidewalk and
carriage way were impossible. At the doors
of the suspended houses the masses Of hui
manity were denser and many discOnsOlate
faces gazed at the closed doors.
Among the crowd are seen several we'll
dressed ladies, some present from motives
other than curiosity The news of the dis
asters seemed to spread with lightning ra-
piditY. Private carriages with liveried ser
wants come up town flying through the
streets, and many now stand outside the
doors of banks and banking houses The
directors of nearly all the banks are either
in session or present in the buildings ready
for any emergency The doors Of the
Stock Exchange are guarded BY policemen.
Visitors i'm the galleries are being cleared,
and no one is now admitted to the building
except the members clerks and messengers
because the crowd was endeavOring 10 gain
admittance in too large numbers for the ca
pacitv of the building.
N-Not since the panic Of ls13 has
Wall street been so perturbed as to-day.
The alarming rmOrs current last night IN
regard to the Second National bank and
other concerns caused an early attendance
of brokers this morning, and for an hour be-
fore the opening of business on the Stock
Exchange the streets in the vicinity were
dotted with groups ofbrokers and others ex-
citcdly discussing the situation and specu-
ating as to what the day would bring forth.
The statements published in the morning
papers to the effect that President Emo, of
the Second National Bank, had resigned,
and that his father had made good his debts
to the bank, did little to allay the fears of
spectators, and the question of the bank
opening its doors this morning was freely
discussed
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1884-05-15

today they let the market take its course.
Prices fell with lightning rapidity and the
brokers lost their heads. A reporter saw
Nelson Robinson, who was s, overcome
with emotion that he could hardly speak
He said he could not tell how much the la,
bilities were, but said they would not exceed
81 100000.
Donnen, Lawson & Co.
Donnell, Lawson & Simpson. have an
nounced their suspension. They are large
dealers in county, water and city bonds, and
are said to have two million dollars with
the suspended Metropolitan Bank. The
firm saw: Owing to the general panic pre-
vailing We deem it best to suspend until we
can see where we stand.
Bogert & Co.
Bogert l. Co. s failure is considered I'M
portant as they were large dealers in com
mercial paper They dealt somewhat IN
privileges and were considered solid. Wall,
Broad and New streets, surrounding the
Stock Exchange, are filed with surging
masses and the galleries overlooking. the
trading room were crowded to repletlon.
The excitement on all sides was almost I'M
preccdented on the floor of the exchange.
Something About Jay Gould.
,Jay Gould shortly before ii A. NJ. to-day
came out of the Safe Deposit Company with
Mr.. Morrisini and clerk with large can
vasS bag of securities. He looked pale and
nervous and apparent so. much troubled
that it was apparent to everyone who saw
him slowly walking down Broadway, his
eyes looking toward the pavement AT his
Office crowd of people endeavored to get
some sympathy out Of him for the future
course of the market In reply to the ques-
ton as to what would be the result of these
heavy failures, he slowly said, in words
scarcely above whisper: Il think it will
be better" In regard to the rumor that
the firm of William Z. Connor X Co. was in
trouble, Mr.. Gould said: There is not
word of truth in it.
Another Failure 1t Won't Open.
The failure Of Messrs HOtchkisS & Burn
ham has just beenannounced.
The Metropolitan Bank has Just posted
notice to the effect that the drafts of Holmes
& Son. of Pittsburgh, will be paid by the

became afraid and ran back into the rear

then woke up Mrs. Wagner, aunt Of the

ST. Louis, May 1.-THE State Savings

Press and Personal Opinions.
W. A. Camp, manager of the New York
clearing house, says the failures of yester-
day cannot be called panic The prompt
action of the clearing house precluded fur
ther danger Mr.. Camp assigned as the
cause the failure of Grant-Ward, the Marine
Bank and the circulation of exaggerated
rumors.
r. The Tribune treats the matter in a very
quiet way and says only superficial business
was affected; that there was no panic and
no sembance of one.
DR. Norrin Green, President of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, says the
failures are due to banks contracting their
business 10 put it on firm basis. Of the
Western Union company he said it was on
the strongest possible basis and the cut on
the stock was simply ridiculous He claim
ed that the company's business was larger
than ever before
The Sun will say to-day that yesterday 5
panic was solely panic among the stock
gamblers. 1t begun, eliminated and ended
i stock spcculations The only serious in
Jury likely to result is temporary distrust
of banks
The Tribune says the excitement in New
York resulted in the closing of the Atlantic
State Bank OF Brooklyn, but that it will be
but temporary suspension.
Notes.
Mr. Hotchkiss, of Hotchkiss Il Burnham,
saws their failure is only temporary and was
caused by a number of persons to whom
they had loaned money failing to pay up.
He asserts then failure had nothing to do
with the failure of the Metropolitan Bank
Donall, Lawson & Co. admit the Metro
pOltan swamped them.
