mated as gang" members succeeded

THE OIL PANIC.
A Fall OF Thirteen Cents since the
Opening Yesterday.

PITTsBURd, Pa, December 8.-There
was another panic at the Oil Exchange
this morning, and prices dropped TO
662c, q decline OF 13c since the OPEN
ing yesterday. The oil trade in this
city is entirely at sea, and old dealers
who passed safely through the great
break OF 1882, and still later the panic
following the failure of the Penn
Bank in 1884, unite In saying that
never in their recollection was demon
alization so complete. No one seems
able to give @ satisfactory explanation
for the sudden break, and the fear OF
still further decline Is written plainly
on the faces Of all. A number OF the
local banks are now calling in their
oil loans, and others refuse to accept
them without heavy margins. This,it
is thought, will have a tendency to
check speculation. The market
opened feverlsh at72ac, and after how
ering in that neighborhood for some
time suddenly broke, and in few
minutes values had fallen of to 663c.
A slight reaction then followed, and
at noon 69c was bid, with no dis
position manifested to take any
large blocks at those figures. At that
hour all the sheets had passed the
clearing house bat that OF O. s. Les
lie, and l52, 900 barrels Of his oil were
sold under the rule, to meet his con.
tracts. The amount OF his failure il
not known, but it is estimated that
bis loss will average 8 cents per bar
rel. Secretary Barbour, Of the En-
change, Gays the loss on oil up to last
night, since last Saturday, will aggre-
gste $3,0OO,0O0. Jacob II. Walters,
an old dealer, failed shortly after IL
O'Clock. The amount is small and 1t
is said will not exceed $500.
In the afternoon considerable
strength was developed, and prices
rallied 10 tote, closing firm at zoe.
Towards the closing hour dealers in
Oil City began buying heavily, and
this had the effect Of etiffening values
here and elsewhere. A feeling that |

A BOLD, BRUTAL OUTRAGE
COMMITTED BY TWO VILLAINS
In BROAD DAYLIGHT
They Take a Lady From Her Home
to q Secluded Spot and Outrage
Her Repeatedly.

ST.. LOUIS, No.. December S.-A
most brutal outrage was committed in
this city yesterday afternoon in broad
daylight. Mrs. John W. Cutting was
alone in the house OF her husband,
No. 1858 Pennsylvania avenue, when
two men OF disIepu'able appearance
drove to the door and asked for adj
mission. The lady suspected nothing
and allowed them TO enter, when
they overpowered her, and, threaten
ing her life, carried her from the house,
placed her in the buggy, which was
standing at the curb, and drove to a
secluded place in the southern suburbs
of the city and repeatedly outraged
her. Mr.. Cutting is clerk in the
Probate Court, and the affair has
caused great excitement. The men
who committed the outrage are ped
oilers by occupation, nsmed Thomas
Cunningham and William Maher,
aged "a and 20 respectively. They
were arrested late last night by the
poles, and were taken to the Gate
street Station. They were found
drunk in their wagon at the time and
Cunningham was too far gone to be
able 10 speak, and when seen
today neither OF them would
talk. Naher, however, last night said
that Cunningham was the one who
committed the deed, and that he saw
him do 1t. Mrs. Cutting was enceinte
and is in . precarious condition today.
1t Ia thought, however, that she will
survive h@ injuries. She said today
that she was sitting in room facing
the street when she saw two men
drive up in peddlsr's wagon. They
came TO the door and offered to sell
TO her their wares. A short converse
ton followed, and at its termination
they both seized her and carried her
out to the wagon, warning her in the
meantime TO make no move or resist
ance. They drove her some distance
from the house and into. the suburbs,
where she says they both repeatedly
outraged her.
