JUST nIKn TmE ON MAN.
Young Gould Blceds His Friends and
Even His Father.

New YORK, March 90 Especial Telegram
TO the BEE. Wall street is hurting anathe-
mas at young George Gould. Up TO 3ocock
to-day his character for loyalty to his friends
and associates on 'change was spotless white,
but now all is changed. Now it is spotless
but of a uniform blackness. 1t is said that
young Gould is responsible for the recent
startling decline in Missouri Pacific stock,
which has entaled heavy losses on many of
Gould's followers, among whom the stock is
of course largely held and which
has brought them to the verge of
ruin. The charge is made that the young
man got in on the short side of the market
some time ago, which gave him a strong per
sonal interest in lower prices, and that he
then used the vast influence at his command
to hammer things down regardless of friends
and associates, and regardless, too, II is inti-
mated, of the interests of his father, wholly
intent upon securing enormous profits for
himself. He holds full power of attorney
from his father, and not in association with
Russell Sage and Sidney Dillon, as was first
reported, so that his anxiety to influence the
market has only been limited by theavailable
recources of the Gould strong boxes. The
suggestion that young Gould had been
illustrating in real life something of the
situation in the comedy OF the "Henrietta,"
where the father and son operate on different
sides of the market, was received with less
surprise in brokers' Offices than il probably
will be elsewhere. Among them who know
him in Wall street, young Gould has the
reputation already of being n shrewd
schemer and an eager and enterprising money
maker.

The Pmte Who Quotes Pope.

From the Virginia City (Nev.) Enter
prise: Yesterday afternoon prcma-
turely old and shriveled Piute was
summing himself on rock near the
wickiup below the Ophir dump. With
motionless form and grim, sober visage,
he sat pGnsively eyeing the distant
snow-capped mountains. Apparently
he was Overhauling the past and think
ing OF the glorious feats of valor he had
long ago performed, and of how differ
ent good many things are from what
they were then, before the tricky pale
face mad sneakGd ia and gobbled up the
poor Piute's right.
A San Francisco lady and gentleman
were walking by the campoodie on their
way to inspect the pan mill. After
they had passed about rod beyond the
dusky old muser he suddenly reused
himself and vociferated a hearty, rous-
ing Good morning, madame!"
1.-THE startled lady turned around and
said; "Why, how do you do sirg" and
evidently much astonished, then blurted
out, "Who are you, anyhow"
II am Lo, said the Indian.
"Low-Mr Low? Why, you are an In
dian, aren't you?n
Yes, madame; a man of 'untutored
mind"
You astonish me! What are you doing
here
''Here-seated here, see God
in clouds and hear him in the wind F"
And, looking rs you do, you quote
Pope?" 49,
faye, looking as l do" said the old
Piute, then turned and walked away,
leaving the lady to look after him and
wonder.
The old Piute was one who was sent
In tUttr IN IN
Gated, and who spent three or four
years in Oberlin, college, Ohio. When
he came back to Nevada he at once set
tied down again in the shiitless ways of
his people. o.. ''. =.

the operators Dearish and the bulls badly de-
moralzed. Trading was heavy, $1,000 shares

erratic than at any time since the decline
started. The selling fever seems 10 have
taken possession of majority Of the opera
tors and offerings of securities, both by
longs and shorts, were enormous, the liqui-
dations being more general than a mere
glance at the market would indicate. Every
thing hinges on Missouri Pacific. If the di-
rectOrs declare 9 per cent. dividend conf
dence will be in measure restored Should
the dividend be passed the bears predict that
the stock will sell to so and that it is des-
tined TO go the same way Wabash did.
Should Missouri Pacific continue 10 break, it
is expected that Western Union and Gould's
other properties will be affected more or less.
The market opened irregular, some being
higher, but the majority lower. Missouri
Pacific started ~ points above yesterdays

with the help Of selling on stop orders II was

CRUELTY TO coNvIoTs.
A Horrible State of Affairs Revealed
i'm Arkansas Mines

Coal HILL, Ark, March %. Governor
Hughes and the penitentiary board arrived
this afternoon to further investigate the bru-
tality to convicts in the coal mines. They
found that Warden Scott, who preceded the
fugitive Gafford, was even more brutal.
1t was shown that he whipped as
many as seventy-five in one night until blood
ran in streams from their bodies. The
place where the convicts were confined is so
filthy that there was sickening stencil from
it. The beds and blankets were dirty and
covered with vermin. Yesterday a lot of
shoes and clothing arrived and men were
provided who had gone barefooted all winter
Physicians today examined q large number
of convicts whom Gafford had whipped
and found their bodies almost solid sores
The men feared to complain while Gafford
was here for fear of being beaten again
Some time ago convict ran Off hid in the
mines and refused to come out and Warden
Scott ordered Tom Gaddis, the pit boss, to go
down and shoot him He did so. Things
are changed now, but the details Of past acts
are sickening and horrible.

Stutman's friends tried to prevail on

BITTEN BY "BEN BUTLER"
An Enrnged Sea Lion Makes Things
Lively i'm n Shop.

Lively in Shop.
ONEw YoRK. March %. 2.--Everybody who has
been to San Francisco knows Seal Rock and
everybody who knows Seal Rock has seen
Ben Butler. Ben was the sea lion of the
rock for many years until three months ago.
He is ten feet long, has a cast IN one eye,
and Is very thick across the waistcoat.
Hence his name. Last fall he was captured
by the agents of Herman Rieche, a wild
animal dealer of this city, and taken to Mr..
Reche's establishment in Park Row. Ben
was to have sailed for Europe yesterday, but
there was some hitch in the arrangements,
and he remained in New York to kick up the
biggest disturbance since the blizzard.
Ben has bad temper, and he likes live
man. Two live men attempted this after
noon to hook him for a berth in van for
Jersey City. They lost their grip, and Ben
took a mean advantage of the slip to free
himself from bondage. Then he took posses
sion of the place, and for the space of half an
hour pandemonium possessed the wild ami
NAL shop of Mr.. Rieche. Ben began by sink
ing his crooked fangs into the calf of one of
the men, Greve by name Mr., Greve howled,
but Ben barked viciously and then took
fresh hold on his bleeding victim.
The other man, Brown his name was, be-
labored Ben with plank, but Ben kept his
grip. Brown kept up his work with the
plank till Ben finally let go and tackled
iShONlL lbIONl SStdpSS WIN oiiEho hSoh
wound in the arm, and then he and Greve
ran, Ben after them. Somebody called po-
lice, but that didn't scare Ben. He held the
post until posse was organized, armed with
clubs and boards, and went to repulse him.
Before this onslaught the sea monster at
length retreated until he was locked up
anew. He was defeated, but very angry,
and all day long made the place hideous with
his howls. Mr.. Rieche will see that Ben
takes the next steamer out. The wounds of
Greve and Brown have been cauterized, as
there is fear of serious consequences. Ben
has bad teeth, and he had been eating stale
fish.
