RAIDERS AT WORK.
They Make Another Attack on Philadelphia
Gas Company stock.

The stock call yesterday morning ended
without transaction Of any kind, but it was
interesting from the fact that the Philadelphia
Gas raiders renewed their attack o. the stock
by offering ten share lots at 3Sll against sales
at "a the previous day, but as no one seemed to
care for the little jags, the raiders failed in
their purpose of using the ghost of the old
scare to produce another panic. so they could
load up on the slump. The absence of blocks
of any size from the offerings revealed very
clearly the nature of the game that was being
attempted.
There was a firmer feeling in the stock in the
afternoon, when sales were made at 3S1S, but it
could not have been bought in quantities un.
under SS5S or "a The morning raid, it is under
stood, was engineered by a few spectators
who hold puts at about 30 and will lose money
unless they succeed IN getting the price below
that figure.
Electric was the only other other active
stock, 1t sold at slight concession The in
active list showed no material changes from
the quotations of the previous day. The close
was at about the best figures. Bids, offers and

As there is no prospect Of a drain to make

were in the proportion Of to of the railroad

hands in the first half hours business. The
fact that to-day was holiday in London ac-

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-09-18

The Council yesterday heard sug-
gestions from citizens on the subject of
sewer plans. There was some friction
as to the best mode of procedure, but q
memorial presented by DR.. Sinsabaugh
was favorably received. 1t provides for
the appointment Of commission of citi-
zens to formulate a system to oe sub.
mitted to the Council. The principal
points upon which there seems to be
unanimity of opinion are, to confine the
system 10 the disposition of the sewage
to the greatest advantage of the city in
enriching it's adjacent lands, and to the
economical aspect of the work in divest-
ing it of composite storm drains and
sewers. An immediate outfall to the sea
seems to be the dividing point upon
which opinion splits. Perhaps a com.
mission such as is suggested may be
able to present plan upon which a
practicable majority of the Council and
the people may unite.

New ORLEANS, September 17.-One OF
the most horrible cases on record in the
criminal annals of this city was brought
to light tonight, and the perpetrator OF
the outrage safely landed in Jail. Louise
Shoemaker, pretty blonde, aged Is,
had been missing from her parents resi-
dence for over year. All efforts to
locate the girl proved futile until this
morning, when Sergeant Kenny was in
formed that young white girl was kept
prisoner in room in the rear of bar
ber's shop, situated in Felicity street, by
negro named Gus Reed. The officer
repaired to the place, and finding it
