Money Kings Fight a Fierce Battle.
New York, May 1.-The last hour
of business on the New York exchange
to-day was a marked climax of one of the
most exciting chapters of Wall street his
tory, and closed the ~fiercest fight that has
been known on the floor of the exchange.
The price for which the battle was fought
was the control OF the Oregon Transconti.
mental company, a corporation with a
capital of $40, 900, 900 and holding control
of the most important railways in the Pa
ciho Northwest. The control of the com.
pany Is o held by Henry Willard and
associates, with him are the magnatcs of
the Standard OIL company, Baron Bley-
chroeder. Bismarck's financial agent and
some of the largest bankers in the city.
Against this aggregation of capital the
enemies of Willard had to work. The OPP
position included the big insiders in the
Union Pacific road-Charles Francis
Adams, Sidney Dillon, Fred Ames,
Elijah Smith and others equally as prom
inent. Elijah Smith had charge OF the
compaign to bust Willard and proposed to
take his place, as he did once before
when Willard went down, with the crash fol
lowing the driving of the golden spike on
the Northern Pacific road.
For a long time both were active in &C.
cumulatlng stock, but it was not until to.
day. the last day on which to register
stock to vote at the election, that a su-
preme effort was made in the exchange.
All regular sales made are not deliverable
until Monday, but sales made of cash
stocks had to be delivered before 2:l5 p.
IN. Out of 1000 shares of stock traded
in to-day 90, 900 shares were cashed stock,
and the price moved up from $37 per
share to 1921 per share before the ex-
change closed. From forty to forty five
the stock moved up l per cent at a time,
then it jumped five per cent on a Jingle
transaction, and after moving up one per
cent more, made a jump of 6 per cent
to 60. 1t soon sold at GAL, the highest
point made In six years.
All the time the trading was marked by
intense excitement and the dav will never
be forgotten by those who took part in
the dealing. After the registry books
we're closed, Willard met Elijah Smith and
said: II have won, | have POI 900 shares
locked up in my boxes" AS the capital
stock of the company is 400. 900 shares,
this would give the Willard party 1000
shares the majority; but Smith would not
admit he was defeated although he did
not claim a victory.

CHR1srrASsBunG, Va. November 90.-The
town was startled last night about 9 o'clock
by the cry OF fire. a sound which sends q
thrill of terror ard disinay TO every heart
in village like this, where there are no APP
pliances % fight the flames. II was soon
discovered that the residence Of DR.. j. w.
Fo0te was ablaze. Flames were bursting
through the roof and 1t was at once evil
dent that the bnildiug was doomed. In
less than two hours nothing remained but
a pile Of ashes to mark the spot whore
once stood n coy, comfortable home. The
origin Of the FIRE is unknown, as all the
family were attending an entertainment.
Fortunately for DIR. Foo'e. he holds 3
