school in the southern section OF this city

New York, May 1.-THE last hour OF
business on the New York exchange to-day
marked the climax of one of the most excit-
ing chapters of Wall street history, and
closed the fercest 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 &
Transcontinental company, a corpora
ton with a capital of 4O,OoO,O0O and
holding the control of the most important
railways in the Pacific northwest. The
control of the company is now held by
Henry Willard, and associated with him are
the magnates of the Standard Oil company,
Baron Bleichroder. Bismarcks financial
agent; Edward T. Abbott, John TrenOr, w.
L. Colby and some of the largest bankers
in the city. This aggregation of capital
the enemies of Willard worked against.
The opposition included all of the big In
siders of the Union Pacific road-Charles
Francis Adams, Sidney Dillon, Fred Amesr
Elijah Smith and others equally as proul-
nent.
Elijah Smith had charge of the campaign
TO burst Willard, snd proposed to take MS
place as he did once before when Willard
went down in the crash following the drly-
ing of the golden spike on the North
ern Pacific railway. For
long time both were active in quietly
accommodating the stock, butt was not until
to-day, the last day on which to register
stock to vote at the election, that the su-
preme effort was made in the exchange.
| All regular sales made are not deliverable
until Monday, but the sales made OF cash
stock had to be delivered before 2:15 p. m.
Out of 10000 shares Of stock traded IN
today. $4,000 shares were cashed stock,
and the price moved up from 81 to 81
per share before the exchange closed.
From 40 to 40 the stock moved up per
cent at a time. Then it jumped per cent.
on single transaction, and after moving
up per cent. more, made Jump OF per
cent. to 90. 1t soon sold at CAS-, the highest
point reached in the past six years;
All the time the trading was marked
by intense excitement, and the day
will never be forgotten by those
who took part in the dealing.
After the registry books closed, Willard
met Elijah Smith and said: Il have won
| have POI, 900 shares locked up IN my
boxes" As the capital stock of the COM
pany is 4OO,OO shares, this would give the
Willard party 1000 shares majority, but
Smith would not admit that he was de
feated, although he did not claim victory.

A Parnell Incident.

special TO THE HERALD--Examiner Dispatch.I
LONDON, May 17.-[Special to the New
York Mail and Express. THE most notable
incident of Wednesdays sitting of the Par
nell commission arose through protest by
Sir Richard Webster against dealing with
ancient Irish history. This IS quite
change from Sir Richards way of looking
at things while he was trying TO keep. OF
tine fatal forged letter business. 1t Is a
welcome change, however, in the attorney
generals position with regard to relevant
testimony. Sir Charles Russell, who mad
previously protested against the waste OF
time and money which had been used by the
tediousness Of the efforts to convict
Parnell before the Piggott affair came out
Yesterday. welcomed Webster's protest and
AGREED that it was both useless and expen-
siye to 90 back so far in Irish affairs. He
was willing. he said, to listen to any sug-
gestions which the bench might offer upon
this point. Sir James Hannen thereupon
made short speech in which he declared
that he desired to allow every latitude tt
counsel. but that since Sir Charles had in
yited his intervention in this matter, ne
would hereafter, after consulting MS col
leagues on the commission, offer from time
to time suggestions as to the limit whlcf
might be placed upon the evidence. phis de
cision will result in great saving OF tlmt
and money.

day We shall not turn this London pur-
gatory into a paradise, perhaps in your
lifetime. or in mine, but we can go on with
the work by making beginnings and by
irving experiments in new directions. we
want to give those who pillow the ground
and who. in the sweat of their brow, sow
the seed, a rather handsomer share IN the
sbeayes when they are reaped. we want
those who weave the garments not TO go
cold themselves.
MIR, Morley proclaimed John Brghts
successor the heir to Eliiah's mantle.
Two sisters of Piggott, who reside In
Ireland, have Just heard to their great re-
lief that Their brother confessed his forger-
