A very well-kept secret was the fact that the
the Marsha's hands few weeks ago. 1t was
the night of the Sd of july and the aid of the
Marshal was invoked by Miss Lamont. IL seems
that the estate of the late Charles l.; Mitchell,
who represented the New Haven District in
the Forty-eighth and Forty-nnth Congresses,
had some sort of an interest in the Lamont
Company. 1t owned, or claimed to own, some of
the scenery and costumes OF the troupe. Law
yers representing the estate came to Washing
ton on July and proposed To remove to New
York that portion of the properties of the com
pany which they claimed to control. But Miss
Lamont had q counter claim against the Mitchell
estate of $1,000 for money advanced to tide the
company over some of its difficulties. She had
not been able to collect this money, and did not
propose to allow any property of the company
sottieS " vhen sbn bsord ~ tba scheme Of tbe
Mitchell estate lawyers, she quietly applied to
the court here for writ of attachment on the
opera company. This was granted, and two of
Marshal Ransdell's men were detailed TO look
after the opera company that night at AL
baugh's. This move spoiled the plans of the
Mitchell estate lawyers, and the next day Miss
'Lamont's claim was settled

The connection of the Mitchell estate with the
Lamont Company, gossip has it, grew out of the
fact that the late ex- Representative Mitchell was
the original backer of Miss Lamont's operate
venture. When she blossomed out as u star,
three years ago, Mr.. Mitchell is said to have in
| vested $4,000 in the venture, which does not
| seem to have been fortunate financially. Mr.
| Mitchell died last winter in New York, and in his
| will it was found that he had left Miss Lamont
| $4,000 with which to complete her musical edu.
| cation. When the matter was made public, q
would contest this provision of the will, but moth
| ing more has been heard of the matter.

stocks and carrle Markets.

NEW YORK. Oct. "a In the stock
market today, the weakness in silver, the
higher rates for money and especially the
liquidation in sugar refneries. were dis
quoting features. Sugar was the feature
of the day, and, except one slight reaction,
the downward movement was not checked
until 6ls was touched. This is a loss of
liz per cent since Wednesday and l3s
since Monday. An apparent effort to ad-
vance stock in afternoon caused a rush to
cover carrying it nearly IL per cent be-
yond the opening of the day. A dispatch
in the afternoon from Chicago saying that
all grangers except the Northwestern
were about to boycott the Union Pacific
was the signal TOR a combined attack on
those roads but a vigorous rally in sugar
brought everything else up. The final
changes of the day show a majority of
losses, generally fractional. Union

CHICAGO, Oct 24.-Speaker Reed
reached here this morning from Waterloo,
Is. he was met at the depot BY officials
Of the Union League club, who escorted
him to the Grand Pacific hotel, where an
Informal reception was held. He deliv-
cred an address in the afternoon.
Mr.. Reed held a reception at the Uuion
League club to members of the club and
was afterwards banquetted there. Accom-
modations for the largest political gather
ing in Chicago had to he doubled tonight
to make room for the throng that at
tempted to hear Speaker Reed. The
doors were locked at the Battery D armory
fully an hour before the beginning OF the
meeting and over 5000 people were then
inside, while hundreds were patiently
waiting In the Second Regiment arnory,
next door, where the overflow meeting
was held. When several hundred mem
bers of the Union Veteran Association
with banners flying entered the hall as an
escort to Reed, remarkable enthusiasm
was manifested. He was accompanied
by Senators Farwell and Cullom,
Congressman Mason, Adams and Butter
worth aud many other well known gentle
men.
Mr.. Reed spoke at length on the cleo
tions question. Mckinley bill and the
work of the present congress- Contrast
ing the two great parties, he said the Re-
publican party achieves; the Democratic
party finds fault. Not having ANYTHING
to do it follows hat Democrats are not
under the necessity OF being consistent.
The Democratic platform has the advant-
age over the Republican in Its method of
argument-that Of simplicity. They sim
ply have to pass on what Republicans do
and account for all the misfortunes of the
world by means of the acts OF the Repub
lican party. The speaker further asserted
there is not a single thing the Republican
party has done that has not within two TO
i've years received either the tacit or vo-
%ciferous approval of Democracy. In view
OF this, he thought we need not tremble
for the future.

MILL OWNERS EXCITED.
Natural Gas to be Shut off
From Furnaces.
A Great Boom Expected in the
Coal Trade.
Speaker Reed Gets a Big Re-
ception in Chicago.

PrrrsBURG, Oct. PA sensation was
created in iron and steel circles by the an
pouncement that the Philadelphia Gas
company had decided to discontinue
supplying natural gas to pudding fur
paces for fuel. There are 1000 pudding
furnaces in the city and oyer half of them
will be shut off as a result of the order.
This will necessitate enormous expense in
changing the construction back for the
use Of coal.
In addition there will be a heavy
added cost owing TO the higher prices Of
coal, as most of the companies had con-
tracts with the gas people at very low
rates. The gas people claim the move is
not made on account of any scarcity in gas
but because it can be used to much
greater advantage in private houses and
Al much higher rates. The estimated
daily consumption OF natural ga in the
city now is hive hundred million cubic feet
a day, equal to $4,000 tons of coal.
Shutting of gas from the furnaces will
give an almost incredible impetus to
coal mining industries.

New York, Oct. 24.-New York was
pelted last night and today by one of the
most pitiless storms which it has endured
in many days. A fierce northeasterly
gale drove the rain in almost horizontal
sheets rendering umbrellas of little use,
and the wind throughout the night rat
tied signs and shutters till unbroken sleep
became well nigh impossible. This morn
ing stories of damage along the coast be-
gan to come in, but it is feared the worst
will not be known until tomorrow. Along
the New Jersey coast wires are reported
down and several vessels are ashore, while
others have been driven from their course.
Very high tides resulted from the storm.
Several small boats were capsized off
Long Branch, but the were
rescued. The marine wires that are strung
between this city and Sandy Hook parted
about midnight and today the members
of the maritime exchange had to depend
upon the single wire from the quarantine
station at Staten Island.
BROOKLYN, Oct. 24,-The storm did
considerable damage in Brooklyn. A
four story brick building in course of
erection on Halsey street was blown down.
John Lindsay, a passerby. was buried in
the ruins. HIS injuries are thought to be
fatal.
Boston, Oct. PA most violent
northeast storm has been prevailing in
this vicinity all day. At Revere Beach
the wind and high tide played sad havoc.
The Woburn house was lifted from its
foundation aud settled deep in the sand.
Many other buildings were partially
wrecked. Several small vessels were
driven ashore, but no fatalities are vet re-
ported. Along the south shore the storm
is reported as the most severe since 1888
and seems increasing in fury tonight.
