city for day or two. He has called upon Whit

The Failure of Stout & Co.

New YORK, June 26-The Tribune says of the
failure of Stout & Co., that no statements of its
affairs could be made for several days, but nego-
tiations were pending which might end in q
speedy resumption of business. The failure is
understood to have been caused principally by
the calling of loans of the Metropolitan elevated
railroad stock of which the firm had been carry
inga large amount for several years. The most
interesting feature of the failure was the action
of C. L Hudson & Co., firm of which Henry A.
Smith is a special partner. on receipt of notice
from Stout s. Co. to sell quietly 200 shares of
New York Central stock loaned. The word
ssquietly'' was read ssquickly'' and Hudson at
once sent notice to the stock exchange to sell
stock under the rule on account of the failure of
Stout s. Co. The letter was not read, but the
stock was sold in accordance with its terms.
Soon after the sale was made the firm was
obliged to announce its suspension. No little
feeling was manifested by the members of the
exchange, because the action of Hudson & Co.
was regarded an attempt to depress the mar
ket There was some talk about calling special
meeting of the governing committee to consider
the circumstances. but it ended in talk. The
matter was brought to the attention of the pres
ident of the exchange, who decided Hudson &
Co. were justified in their course by the rules OF
the board II didn't intend doing wrong -
Hudson said yesterday afternoon, ''but supposed
was following instructions. The loan had been
renewed not thirty minutes before received the
notice. which naturally read horribly. Ny mis-
take exposed the solveney, which might have
been concealed a little longer. That is the worst
that can be said of it under the circumstances
although many persons will say that did it for
purpose have made an apology to Stout &
Co. for the error and can really do no more

of SIS, 900.
ATLANTA, June 27.-Nathaniel Burke,
a negro fOOtpad, who, short time ago,
knocked a countryman down and robbed
him Of 81, was tried in the Superior Court
to-day, found guilty and sentenced to ten
years in the penitentiary.
In the case of Col. John 8. Gambler. a
member of the staff Of theNate Alexander
II. Stephens, who, soon after his visit to
the Sesqui-Centennial held at Savannah
as a member of the staff of Gov. Stephens,
met with an accident on the Georgia Rail-
road, a few miles from Atlanta, resulting
in the loss of both legs, judgment was
obtained against the road to-day for
$4,000. Col. Gambler, while going home
in the evening accommodation, jumped
off while the train was running at a rapid
rate. 1t being dark Gambler jumped
against a pile of wood, fell back under
the wheels, and was injured as stated be-
fore he could crawl out from under the
wheels. Col. Gambler is a young LAWYER
of this city, son of eX-COngressman Mil
ton a. Gambler.
After occupying the attention Of the
| Superior Court two days the case OF Sam
uel B. Hendricks, charged with an at
| tempt to murder Miss Blanche Budden,
was concluded to-day, resulting in Hen
| bricks being found guilty, and in accord
ance with the verdict Hendricks was sem
| fenced to seven years in the penitentiary.
The COroner's jury on the Rose murder
case was in session again to-day, and
after hearing large amount of circum-
/ stantial evidence against Rose, adjourned
until tomorrow. All of the evidence so
far is circumstantial, and while cOnsid-
cred not strong enough to convict when
| the case is tried, the popular impress
sion is that Rose will be committed 10 jail
| to await trial on the charge of having
murdered his wife.
An effort is being made to implicate
| Miss Nanny Frazier, who was a member
/ of the household, and Miss Clara Suggs,
| a female barber, who, it is intimated,
| Rose was more interested in than in his
wife. The evidence against Frazier and
| Miss Suggs is purely ciTcumstantial.
