Special correspondence of the standard.
BUTTE, Jan. 9.-Louis Morris. IA photog-
rapher i'm Broadway. was held up last
night i'm West Quartz street, near the
corner of jackson. Morris lives i'm West
Quartz street and was on his way home
about 4 o'clock last evening. He was con-
frontcd suddenly by three men, one of
whom held "a gun to Morris's head and
demanded his money. Morris had quite
n sum of money i'm his pocket and didn't
tn give it up without "a struggle.
He was carrying Il heavy book in his right
hand and threw il at the ~highwayman
with the revolver, and then ran.
The man was struck on the head and
nearly knocked over. The three soon
cought Morris and again demanded his
money, or they would shoot. Morris ar
guel with tiDm n minute, and then sud
denly threw oil the two that grasped him
and started again. A third time he was
caught and again, as the men were about
to search him, he broke away and this
time reached his house before the men
overlook him.
One of the highwaymcn had "a gun
which he had kept levcled at Norris, but
did not have the nerve to shoot. Mr.. Nor.
ris remained at home last night and told
the story to-day, but has made no com
plant to the authorities.

New YoaK, Nov. 1B.-The stock market
to day, during tho two hours session, was
the liveliest we have had since the great
slump Of December 1B. '86, and for ths
space Of an hour or more there lasted Q
perfect panic among the holders Of sscuri-
ties, especially railroad stocks and the de-
clines established during that time were
greater than ever before seen in the same
time. The only cause Of excitement was
the announcement from London that the
great firm Of Barring Bros. had been forced
to seek assistance to tide them ovef the
present financial crisis, and holders Of
stocks became panic stricken over the news
without rejecting that the danger had
really already passed when the Bank Of
England and the Rothschilds came to the
rescue. EArly advices from London were
reassuring and the crisis was represented
a. over and continuing Improvement

ally higher than yesterdays figures. The
announcement about BarinQs was thrown
at the market Immediately, howsver. and

the buying TO realize profits accrued upon
the tremendous drop. The early selling
soon developed the fact that there were
large selling orders In the market and trad
ing among the professional element soon
took the market away from the sellers, and
innumerable stop orders were quickly un-
covered, rendering the stampede moro ser-

Before the Are department could reach the
scene all three rooms were full Of the rapid
" spreading flames. They seemed 70 gain
reinforcements from the floor and this fact
led to the suspicion that the hre was incen-
diary In its origin. II was soon apparent
that tho building originally at
tackled were doomed, and the depart
ment turned it's attention to saving the
two large livery barns standing on either
side Of them. This they succeeded in do
ing after one Of the most desperate fights
made BY dremen in Montana. In this they
were greatly assisted by the corrugated iron
with which the two barns were covered.
The three stores mentioned with their con-
tents were almost totally ruined by IRE and
water, the combined loss aogreeatinR near
" $4,000, On this there was about $4,000
Of insurance.
From the manner in which the flames
spread and the hour Of starting, it is gener-
ally believed that the fire was the work Of
an incendiary, and the police are working
upon that theory. Should the crime b
traced home to any one il would 60 hard
with him, 40 the experience Of this city last
year has left but little mercy here for such
criminals.
