SUGARS a SORE SUBJECT.

Extenuating Circumstances in the
Slapping of Mr.. Schepp by Mr.. Bend.
From the Nel0 York sun.
The beautiful chromos of the sugar trust
have caused heap of trouble in their time
For every one in Wall street who speaks of
them with commentator there is a regi-
ment who connect them with visions of
depleted bank accounts George H. Bend
OF the New York exchange is one of this
vast number. He is big fellow and we'll
known on 'chlnge as one of its strapping
athletes. Mr.. Bend had something to do
with Lacka wanna in 1884, and got tangled
up IN the famous corner sprung on the b )ys
by Stephen Van Cullen White. 1t hurt Mr..
Bend badly, but he started in again, and
mended his fortunes. He rejoined his So
clety set, became regular attendant at the
Patrlarchs balls, and bis turnouts were
again seen on the road.
Everything was going on comfortably,
when Mr.. Bend became captiva ed by the
color and quality of the sugar trust chro-
mos. They we're then in the neighborhood
of par, and shortly afterw ard thew scared
into the l2Os. Mr.. Bend believed thew
would go very much higher. He backed
his opinion only to see the certificates crash
ana crash and keep on crashing. Mr. Bend
never lost faith, though, in the merits of
the certificates, and attributed the decline
in them to the attacks Of the bear CLIQUE
Save with spasnodic intervals, when the
shorts ent in to cover profits, the chromos
have steadily droppei, and down with them
went Mr.. Bends spirits.
Yesterday he was on the floor Just
before the closing hour. The certifica es
had opened at 90, and were then below 81
Mr.. Bend noticed that Mr.. L. Schepp. the
coanut plunger of the exchange, was
interested IN mauling the certificates. Mr..
ochepp has been a co sistent bear on the
sugar chromos, and he, too, has backed his
opinions. he was at it again, selling them
right and left, right under Mr.. Bends nose,
1t was his privilege as an American citizen
and as member of the exchange
But the sight rolled Mr. Bend and he
expoStulated with Mr.. Schepp. He told
Mr.. Schepp of the glories of the trus its
deal of this, Mr.. Schepp all the time hooting
out his offers to sell the certificate. Mr..
Bend continued to offer him information to
show him the errors of his ways. and finally
becoming exasperated, Mr.. Schepp shouted:
bend, you talk like - fool"
Bend isa't used to such language. He
flushed and stepped back, and quickly re-
covered and planted his open hand with
vici US slap full in Schepp's face The
members standing around rushed between
the combatants and bade them think how
horrible 1T would be if the fight got into the
newspapers. A contingent of the gov
ernors Joined the throng and begged
Schepp, if he intended to make complaint
against Bend, to do everything quietly.
Bend chose another course. He flushed
through the crowd and walking I'D to
Schepp begged his pardon then and there.
