A BIG r ALLURE.



Tuesday. November ii, 1890, will be
long remembered by stock spectators
on the New York Exchange as the
most disastrous since tn" Black Friday
of 1869. AdyicCs from London,
combined with Il bad condi-
ton Of things here. caused the
bottom to drop ont Of the stock market,
and prices came down with a run all
round. Many failures We're reported,
the biggest being that of Decker, How
ell 4 Co.. Of II Broadway. They made
IN assignment to William Nelson trom-
we'll The firm is one of the largest on
the Exchange, and was considered very
wealthy. II had been identified for
years with the movements of the Vii
lard stocks, and its members We're gen
orally considered \il!ardS special
brokers. The failure was consid-
cred the cloak that had been hang
ing over the market, and after it was
CURED. W. Nelson Cromwell, the as
S!gnec for the firm, made the following
statement concerning its affairs:
The liabilities are about $4,000, 900,
and the assets, at the present market
price, largely exceed shat sum. The
liabilities are due almost entirely to
banks and bankers on loans made IN
the course of business, and are well
secured. The canse of the suspension
was the inability of the firm to borrow
the necessary amount of cash required
in the days business. The firm ; trans
actions were very large, it being neccs-
sary to borrow several millions
daily The firm had abundant
collateral TO-DAY, and it was not
for lack of security but the inability TO
make it available that caused the crash.
''It was simply Il matter of absolute in
ability To- get money on the best securi-
ties, owing to the extraordinary money
stringcrcy now prevailing. AS the Sc
cUrities are a special line, there may be
Il disposition on the part of the credit
ors Il sacrifice them on the market, but
such course would he suicidal. The
character OF the securities shows that
their price on the market is far below
their actual value, and if creditors have
the good Judgment to hold their sccuri-
ties they viii be amply protected

Road in England,

Road in England.
LONDON, Nov. I.-A collision oc-
cured this morning on the Great West
ern Railway at Norton Fitzwarren, a
station near Taunton, between a goods
train and a special train from
Plymouth, which was convey
ing the passengers from the
steamer Norham Castle, which had Just
arrived at Plymouth from the Cape OF
Good Hope. Ten persons were killed
and eight injured. The condition OF
several of the injured is serious.
The collision, which occurred at 2
O'Clock this morning, was caused by the
negligence of signal man. The goods
train had been shunted to the up line
to allow the down night mail train to
pass, which it did safely. The night
was rainy and dark, and the si2nalman
forgot that the goods train was
standing on the up track
and the up bound special train, which
consisted of four carriages containing
fifty passengers, rushed past the station
at the rate of fifty miles an hour and
dashed into the goods train.
The first carriage of the special was
entirely demolished. The fire from the
:. ecial's engine ignited the wood of
the carriage, and the wreck was quickly
mass of flames. Six of the occupants
of this carriage were burned to death.
One OF its occupants, a negro, was COM
pletely beheaded. The stoker of the
special train had miraculous escape.
