The feature of the morning dealings was the
heavy pressure to sell Lake Shore and Lacka-
wanna. both of which declined uninterruptedly
from the first call up to 1890 y. m. The heavy
decline in these stocks was taken advantage of
by the shorts 10 circulate all sorts of rumors. Ii
was reported that the selling of the stocks men,
toned was chiefly by houses whose financial stat
us compelled them to unload. and failures were
predicted by some croaxers. About l o'clock
news was received of the failure of Wilkinson d
Bros. of Syracuse. n Y. with liabilities ranging
from 81 0,0oO to half a million. This news bad
a demoralizing effect on the market and for a
while selling was very brisk. Dealings were at
tended with considerable excitement, but by 1880
this had died entirely ont and the market was
steadier with better support About ! o'clock.
however, the pressure to sell some of the loads
was renewed and continued with but little in
the feature some large blocks for both long and
short accounts coming on the market. The bears
had full sway and frustrated every attempt on
the part of the bulls to check the decline by
vigorously attacking more prominent stocks. At
the close the lowest figures of the day were made.
the market closing weak and demoralized- The
decline compared with yesterdays prices
ranged from i TO s1& per cent. the latter in Lack
awanna. No further failures or troubles were
reported during the afternoon. The selling of
Laekawanna to-day said to he for the sc-
count of insiders. and heavy unfolding gave rise
to rumors of impending trouble in coal pools
but none of the reports could be traced Lake
Shore. Northwestern. st. Paul a Omaha shares
were alec pressed for sale at times There was
no movement Of importance in specialties to-day.
The sales aggregated $50 800 shares.

Cheap Fares East.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-The Chicago d Grand
Trunk road made to-day a reduction of SION
first, and Sc on second-class tickets from
Chicago to Boston, via Montreal, making
the rate $l5 and $9.40. Tomorrow the
Michigan Central and It's connection with
the Canadian Pacific, will not only meet
these rates via Ottawa and Montreal, but
also reduce rates to all intermediate points
between Chicago and Boston, via the Mon
treal route. The Chicago IL Grand Trunk
will no doubt retaliate by cutting rates
from here TO Buffalo and New York, via the
West Shore route. This will result IN a
general war of rates east.

DEFENDED BY NEIGHBoRS.
An Explanation of the Case OF Richards
VS.. Henneman.

VS.. Henneman.
Several neighbors of Freeman Richards,
Of Paris township, called at The I M EGEAM
Office yesterday 10 say that in their opinion
Nr. Richards had been unfairly treated
Last Friday these columns contained an ac-
count of an encounter between him and
John Henneman, near the latter's barn, in
which 1t was stated that Mr.. Richards at
tackled Henneman and was SO severely
handled that he ran away. The Paris gentle
men say that Richards, just at dusk, heard a
woman's screams and cries of Don't kill
me-" ETC., near Hennenan's and ran there
to see what the trouble was. He found
small boy near the barn and asked him what
the matter was, whether some one was being
hurt. just then Henneman approached him
in threatening manner. Richards caught
up a piece of board, but Henneman graprled
with him, and he, thinking Henneman was
opening knife, ran away, and afterward
brought an action for assault. The gentle
men who called assert that Mr.. Richards has
lived in Paris for some thirty years and
never before had the least difficulty with a
neighbor.

AFTER THE PLUMS.
An Old Democratic Prophet and Seer
Discusses Probabilities.

A reporter of the Detroit Post ran against
an old Hickory Democrat on the streets of
Michigan's metropolis Tuesday, and drew
from him the following predictions concern
ing some Democratic magnates of this sec
ton:
"Col. Messmore, of Grand Rapids, has
beloved soft money until he is thought to
have earned soft snap and will probably
get it. 1t has been a time e-honored custom
with the colonel to invade the sacred soil of
Indiania during each campaign and exert his
bushel or two of lungs until the hills and
screams of the eagle. As the
colonel's help went to thes faithful of
Indiana, it would seem opposed to the
logic of consistency that be should be re-
warded by postoffice at Grand Rapids. But
there is destiny that shapes our ends. The
windy colonel is said to have made a mash
upon one Thomas Hendricks, who being
chosen to position that would make him
President should Cleveland die, ignores the
assistance of the grim messenger and as
sumes to be chief executive without delay.
1t is boldly asserted that Thomas says Mess
more can have the postotfice. The Colonel
is the only man In Grand Rapids who ex-
presses any great desire that the Colonel
should receive the appointment; but the
Colonel's wishes are consulted.
Gen Innes is talked of for United States
Marshal in the Western Distsict. As the
head and front of the Greenback party, a
good organizer and q man to be depended
upon in doing what he promises, he is too
formidable an aspirant to antagonize. His
pole is of sufficient length to bring down the
persimmon. Yaple, of the Kalamazoo Dis
trict, has but TO name it and they will give
it to him, but there is a manifest disposition
not to let him parcel out any spoils, for the
Democrats hold that his recent defeat for
Congress indicates slight slipping of his
grip. He can have big chunk for Yaple,
but none to send around to the neighbors.
Charley Hampton, of Harbor Springs, is a
yeoman service, and can take prize. The
men who can do most to maintain the un-
holy alliance are to be cared for"
