The Stock Exchange Exctted-Two
 Failures That Caused lMuch Sur-

 Offerings Bought In By The Hull
 C1iaues And The Market Fairly
 We'll SuSta1ned-A Slight Shr1nkage
 I'm Prices At The Close.
 New York, Oct. g. 1885.
 The event of the morning on the Stock Exchange was the announcement of the suspension of Messrs. William Heath & Co., of 7s Broadway, one of the nest prominent brokerage firms of the Stock Ex- change the operations of the past six months The failure caused great surprise the firm had been looked upon of stability. The firm was heavily short of the market and the advance in prices incident to the settlement of the New York Centrsl-West Shore war caused them large losses. The dealings the market from the opening to 11:3O without special feature. Prices by that time showed fractional advances. but on the an- nouncsment of the failure there was rush to sell which caused prices to break at rapid rate amidst the widest excitement. Brokers vied with one another in their efforts to market stock and the shouting of the excited crowds in the board room made it impossible to transact business. The bull cliques bought in all offerings. In the half hour to prices had declined 1 to 1 per cent, but the buying Of the bull cliques soon brought prices up to the top figures again. A large amount of stock, about forty thousand shares, bought in under the rule'' for the account of the suspended firm The market continued firm until about one o'clock, when the street treated to another surprise in the announcement of the failure of Mir Henry N. Smith, one of the most prominent spectators on the market. The announcement of his suspension, following closely on that of Heath & Co.,, caused the utmost consternation and there another heavy selling movement. In the hour to o2 o'clock prices touched bottom again. The bulls actively supported the list and in great measure prevented any heavy declines When 2:15 p. m-the time for delivery-passed without the announcement of fur ther failures the market queted down and stead Ter tone characterized the dealings. There was little inclination the part of brokers generally to increase their holdings, however, and the close of the market was very tame; The lowest prices of the day did not show @ shrinkage of more than from 5 to per cent and the closing figures tonight are only 4 to 24 per cent. below the final quota tions of yesterday. The specialties were feature less. The sales amounted to 42700o shares.

 The advent of lady law student is mak- ing sensation.
 Amherst, which has for number of years made gymnastie training compulsory, has de- cided now to withhold the diploma of any student direlict in physical as we'll as mental exercises.
 The Shelf. freshman crew will be chosen Saturday. There are only eight men trying for the six seats. The Springfield Republican figures the an nual expense of the Harvard-Yale race at $7, 900 each, whereas according to the report lately published the whole expense at Yale, including expenses fer class races, was below $5, ,OOO.
 Prof. Knapp is now teaching his Spanish optional by a modification of the natural method. On the short trial thus far given it the progress made by the class is reported as encouraging.
 A number of new men have been elected conditionally to the Glee club. A trip to be trken during the winter vacation is now be- ing considered. The proposed route includes Pittsburg, Louisville, Indianapolis, St.. perhaps other ''Yale towns" In case the plan is carried out it will be the first western trip taken by the club since the memorable accident two years ago. The latest story of trouble between faculty and students comes from Wesleyan, where great indignation has been aroused against President Beach by his action in removing eight sophomores from the scholarships held by them, each worth $75 year. The offend CTS incurred this penalty by throwing water out of the window on the heads of passing freshmen.
 There is a notable influx of students from other colleges this fall, men coming from Harvard Ann Arbor, Amherst, Union and Middlebury, besides smaller institutions. Perhaps some of the thirty freshmen who were admitted here, but did not enter this year, will eventually turn up.

They Say About Stage Life.
 From Stage Whispers.l
 "Billy'' Emerson has recently made a phe- nomenal success in Australia and is rich.
 Emerson was born at Belfast in 1S46. He began his career with Joe Sweeney's min strels in Washington in 1857. Later on he jumped into prominence in connection with Newcombs minstrels with whom he visited Germany. He visited Australia in 1874 and on his return to America joined Haverley' s ninstrels in San Francisco at $500 8 week and expenses. With this troupe he played before her majesty the queen, the Prince of Wales, and royalty generally. After this trip he leased the Standard Theater, San Francisco, where for three years he did the largest business ever known to minstrelsy. In April last he went to Australia again, where he has beaten the record'"
 "Billy" is 8 very handsome fellow, an ex- cellent singer, dances gracefully, and is a true humorist.
 ''Yes, sir, have travelled all over the world, have met all sorts of people, come in contact with all sorts of customs, and had all sorts of experiences. One must have a constitution like locomotive to stand it.
 'sYes, I know I seem to bear it like 8 major, and do, but tell you osndidly that with the perpetual change of diet, water and climate, if had not maintained my vigor with regular use of Warners safe cure should have gone under long ago."
 George Primrose, whose name is known in every amusement circle in America, is even more emphatic, if possible, than Billy" Emerson in commendation of the same artl- cle to sporting and travelling men generally, among whom it is great favorlte.
 Emerson has grown rich on the boards and so has Primrose, because they have not souandered the public's s'favors."

In the Court of Common Pleas yesterday the habeas corpus case of John w. Gerow vs. Russell I. Bates for the custody of Ruby Bates, an adopted child of Gerow, was post poned until October 16. In the meantime an application will be made to the Court of Probate for a revocation of the order of the court approving the agreement made be- tween Russell and Gerow for the adoption of the child. This will probably do away with the habeas corpus case.
