An Apology winch vas worth enc

New York Times.l

New York Tines
Business is dull enough in Wall street
now TO give lots Of chances for the dis
play Of all the joking propensities that
the average stock broker is credited
with. And opportunities open, too, for
transactions that are not Of the jocular
sort. Ono case of this latter kind
edged in on the Stock Exchange. Mr..
Albert Aub is popular broker. and
Mr.. F. NJ. Thieriot is another. Three
or four days ago these gentlemen had .
little collision and got at tcross-purpo'e
but no blood was spilled, and their
Stock. Exchange brethren had forgotten
about the passing cloud until suddenly
a regular old-fashioned thunderstorm
swooped down to engulf the twain.
Mr.. Thierot is connected with the big
banking house Of l.. Won Hoffman x Co.
and yesterday morning he took with
him to the Stock-ExchaDge some orders
to buy a particular stock upon which
some Of tie customers of his house
were feeling fulllsh. lie was making
bis bids for this stock when Broker
Aub appeared On the scene, all clipper
and serene, and bent little on the
discontinue Of Broker Thieriot. And
said Broker Aub in his stoutest tone,
as be stood in the centre Of the pool
I'll sell 1000 shares at 70."
Taken " shouted Broker Thieriot.
And then Broker Thieriot added this:
Seventy. and a-halffor , 600 more!"
Broker Aub-so bystanders tell it
looked astonished. And that's the
way he felt, too. Despite the bold way
in which be had thrown 1000 shares
of the stock on the market, here was
the price going up--the advance Of !
per cent. from 20 at one bid to 70l,
representing loss Of just 81, ,000-and
just about one minute had been neces-
sary to bring it about. He owned up
like little man. lie went right up to
his aforetime foe and assured him that
ho had offered the 1900 shares
only in fun. lie thought it
might break the market, aud it
would be a happy spectacle to
witness the Thieriot sort of astonish-
ment. But Broker Thieriot was not in-
clined to heaIken to this sort OF talk.
lie had bought the stock and it showed
him { 600 Of profit if he chose to order
the contract closed under the rule.
Broker Aub's distress was real. Broker
Thieriot is generous man. All be
asked was that Broker Aub should beg
bis pardon, and Broker Aub did that
with alacrity. 1t isn't every day, even
in Wall street, that an apology is worth
a cool 81 900.

they clung to the boat through the

found that the ladies had engaged every

many private conveyances as could be
secured from sympathizers. At the
polls thirty ladies pleaded with those

the day row occurred, in which pis-
tolls were used quite freely, and Robert
Jordan and j. W. Wade were beaten
and quite badly used up. The first
three accused whose names appear in

of all persons present and passing along
the road, and assaultlng, beating, and
wounding Robert Jordan and j. W.
Wade. The case was continued until the
next term and bail allowed in the sum Of
$500. All the young men Of Rockets
engaged in the unfortunate affair are
respectable citizens, and the occur
renee, which is to be greatly regretted,
was caused by some Of the parties being
in liquor.

Effects of the Storm Night Before
Iast-Another Yesterday.

Iast-Another Yesterday.
In town and country, in this part OF
Virginia at least, the effects of the storm
Of Tuesday night were nearly every
where to be seen yesterday, while peo-
pie commonly remarked that they had
never known so great fall Of water in
so short time, or SO tremendous an
electrical display.
Not only was the waterfall supera-
bundant, but there was great deal of
hail, too. In Manchester at one mo-
ment the hail seemed bent upon bat
teriDg in all window-panes; in several
sections Of this city it came down very
violently, while below Richmond, in
the Seven Pines and other Henrco
neighborhoods, it fell with crushing ef-
feet upon growing crops, and some
fields Of corn were almost annihilated
by it.
From IL NJ. Tuesday to IL NJ. yes
terday the rainfall was 2. 06 inches-.he
most of which fell about l0:30 or ii
o'clock Tuesday highland after noon
yesterday there was another heavy fall
OF rain, probably measuring halfan inch.
As consequence of these liberal liba-
tions Of the clouds streets and roads
and fields have been badly washed, and
several mill.dams that had so far with
stood what were considered unprece-
dented rains were broken-among them

season SO longed for by farmers and
summer.resorts' proprietors seems as
far off as ever, and, while it is but the
18th Of July, We have this year re-
ceived nearly as much as our per-an-
mum allowance Of rain.
Between $3.50 and 10 o'clock last
night there was a succession of heavy
showers, amounting no doubt to bali
an inch of rainfall.
