Sensational Personal Encounter on the New
YORK stock Exchange.

YORK stock Exchange.
Special to the Gazette.
New YoRK. May 25.-There was brief but
lively personal encounter in the stock exchange
trading room on Thursday afternoon between
two weil-known brokers. All hands were sworn
to secrecy because of the absurdly severe pun
ishment which the governors recently
melted out to Lea Schepp, who was
struck in the face and got a thirty
day suspension, although he the injured
party did not etaliate, and committed no viola
ton of the stock exchange rules. But the
story of Thursday row leaked out yesterday
and is said to have reached the ears of the
governing committee. A. Maurice, who has
office with David Richmond at No. 80 New
street, was in the Texas and Pacific crowd OF
Thursday afternoon selling that stock.
After he had made sale at
certain figure Howard Lapsley Of
Howard Lapsley & Co., No Exchange court,
declared with some heat that he had made bid
of one-elghth more. Maurice, so it is said re-
Joined angrily, ''You liar - Thereupon
Mr.. Lapsley made pass with his fist at Maurice,
according to the story, and hit him lightly on
the face. Friends and by ISLANDERS rushed be-
tween the combatants and the affair was ended
promptly. Since then friends of the combatants
have been hard at work trying to prevent the
governors from hearing of it. Mr.. Lapsley is an
old and prominent member of the exchange and
was formerly one of the governors.

A Plot to Blow Up the Haymarket monument
Only Prevented by the Fuse to t.
Bomb Becoming Wet.

CHICAGO, III. May 24.-The night of May 4,
1885, the date of the anarchstc riot was recalled
to mind this morning with startling vividness
by the discovery of unmistakable traces of an
attempt to blow up the Haymarket monument
and surrounding buildings with a gigantic
charge Of dynamite. A policeman passing near
the monument saw at its base what appeared to
be roll of black cloth tied with small rope
1t contained tin can twelve inches long and
four inches in diameter, and weighed
about ten pounds. Beside the lay
several pieces of fuse. The powder in it
had burned out, leaving the outer covering
intact, but very brittle. It mad, apparently,
been soaked with kerosene. The cap ON the
fuse is precisely like the one Ling used in sking
his own life. The charge of dynamite, accord
ing 20 the police, Vas enough to blow up several
blocks. The machine was probably placed there
early this morning, and rain extlnguished the
burning fuse. An explosion would have made
terrible havoc with the street cars frequently
passing close, too. The loss of life would
have been great.
THE CONTENTS EXAMINED.
The can with its dreaded contents was turned
over to the Central officers. who took it to
gunpowder companies Office, where an expert
per cent. of which was nitro
glycerine, and would have made terrible
plosion had the fire reached it. 1t is learned
part of the Reds of late to
resuscitate the old feeling of rev
olution and to organize them . into
fighting shape. Secret meetings are being held
by the old groups. Herr Most, whom the old
followers of Spies.and Parsons now recognize
leader, has been secretly sending to Chicago
circulars urging his followers to organize and
prepare to strike another blow.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Several subjects Of i'm
portance are likely to engage the attention of
the senate this week. The naval appropriation
bill. over which debate of unexpected length
occurred last week, is still undisposed of, and
will come up tomorrow as unfinished business.
That it will be disposed of in one session is un-
certain, as an attack upon the appropriation for
three battle ships is expected from the Demo-
cratic side of the chamber. By an agreement
to place imported liquors in original packages
under state regulation is a special order for
Tuesday to be discussed to finish. Senator
Pugh has given notice of his intention to speak
on the silver bill after the naval bill il disposed
Of but will doubtless withhold his remarks
until the silver bill is taken up after
the debate on the imported liquor bill. Under
the conditions that will exist ii is doubtful If the
silver bill will get hearing this week. Friday
will be memorial day and the senate will adjourn
from Thursday to Saturday, which under the
present arraDgementss Is devoted to bills on
the calendar to which there is no objection. The
committee appropriations expect to have the
Notifications and legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bills ready so report during
the week.
harbor appropriation bill which has not vet been
considered will be disposed of by the house to-
morrow before 1t embarks upon consideration of
District OF Columbia matters. The con-
ference report on the antitrust bill
may be presented early in the week
and will doubtless give rise to much debate as

ADVANCE IN SPIRITS.
The Whisky Trust Increase Their Profits
$4,000 Per Day.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YoRK, May 25.-The whisky trust off,
cially made an important announcement yester-
day. It was to the effect that on June 1 the
price of spirits will be advanced by the trust
seven cents gallon, or from ST. O41k, the present
price, to 81, l1h.s The pronunciamento was not
entirely unexpected IN the trade, although it
was not generally Thought the advance would
be quite so steep. Ever since the whisky trust
managers bought off their tvs most formidable
competitors but two weeks ago the st. Paul dis
tillery company Of st. Paul andFE. H Schue-
feldt company Of Chicago it, has been
generally understood prices would be advanced.
The stock of the ST. Paul company was pur-
chased by the trust and a working agreement
was made by the trust with the Schuefeldt COM
pany. This arrangement removes practically all
outside competition to the whisky trust, and
leaves them virtual control of the market. The
trust people, while they admit the advance OF
cents gallon Will add $40, 900 day to the profits
OF the trust, claim they have been selling spirits
at very little more ethan cost for
two years past. The trust has been
paying dividend of one-eighth of ]. per cent. q
month and III per cent. q year, Il is also
claimed by the trust the advance in spirits viii
