Chief Rathbone came To this city and
conferred with local inspectors. lnveS-
tigation convinced the inspectors that
fifteen letter carriers az least were i'm
plicated. In the cases Of seven Of them
the proof was conclusive that they were
in league with the green goods swim
dlers, and their names were sent TO
Washington with recommendation TO
PostmaSter-General Wanamaker that
they be dismissed. Some of the ac-
cused confessed that the SwindlerS paid
them five dollars per week not TO carry
out their Instructions. In some cases a
letter carrier would receive such week

green goods swindlers. The names OF

DAY ON CHANGE.
Two Small Failures Occur-Thc Market
Resuming It's Former Condition.

New YORK, November 12.-Thc stock
market opened excited but higher Tor
the general list. Interest seemed to be
centered in the Wizards and on tremen--
dous sales the Northern Paciiics ana
North American advanced about two
points over last nights closing hgures.
At11 a. IN. downward movement set
in toward the close of the hour, and
burlington dropped per cent, Lacka-
wanna 12l, Northwestern Z, while the
Wizards lost all their advantage and
North American retired about l. The
fluctuations among the specialties ana
lower priced stocks were extremely
wide and irregular, while the entire
market was feverish in the extreme
throughout the hour. Later the VII
lards agaid showed strength and the ilSt
followed the market, 1T ii O'Clock Delhg
very active and firm to strong, but gen
erally at something under first prices,
though better than those OF last night.
At 1855 n. m. the meeting OF the
North American Railroad Company was
over and the statement was authorized
that the company has but few creditors;
that these were all strong financially
and had agreed to see the company
through and that the assets OF the COM
pany were wholly intact.
At noon money was tight at s per
cent. per day and legal interest. Ihe
trusts were comparatively quiet. Sugar,
which had scored gain OF 20 al the
opening. was fairly well held.
J. c. Walcott & Co., Of No. 32 Pine
street. announced their suspension at
noon. Mr.. j. c. Walcott, the board
member. was admitted in 1869. aud. the
house was generally considered solld.
The market at this hour was firm TO
strong and free buying movement was
in progress. The failure had no erect
whatever in the dealings.
The Bank of North America was
heavy creditor at the Clearing House TO-
dav. The bank will pay over to Nelson
Cromwell, assignee of Decker, Howeii
G Co. n large sum as differences on
sales of securities held by the Dahk as
for loans and sold on the
market yesterday.
The failure of Walcott created little
surnrise. The house, though a good
one, had DuL snah
the market. The sales : under tne
rules for it's accounts were NANNY
in odd lots and aggregated less thah ~
900 shares distributed among all the
active specialties. Mr.. Walcott was
alone in business, although he con-
tinued the firm name since the retlre-
ment of Dickinson some time ago. Mr..
Walcott refuses to make statement.
After the meeting of the creditors and
directors of the North American the Iol-
lowing statement was made: The
North American Company is solvent
beyond all question. The meeting OF
the creditors was very satisfactory. The
company's securities will not be slauSh-
tered"

The critical period of the day, ex-

the announcement of any additional
failures. and the financial horizon was
decidedly clearer. Money is down to d
nor. cont per annum, and plentiful.

REVOLT IN HONDURAS.
President Bogran Leaves the Capital.
Assistance From Guatemala.

La LIBERTAD, November 12.-During
the night President Bogran and his
forces withdrew from the capital of
Honduras. They fought their way
through the lines, but are being pur-
sued by soldiers sent after them by Gen.
Sanchez. who is now in complete pos
session of Tegucigalpa, the capital.
1t is understood that Sanchez will at
once declare de facto government, and
send representatives to San Salvador,
Nicaragua and possibly to Mexico and
the United States.
1t Is common rumor here that BoSran
has established communication with
President BarillaS, Of Guatemala. A
private cipher dispatch over the Federal
lines from Guatemala brings informa-
ton that Barillas has sent thousand
soldiers from the frontier to aid Bogran
in recapturing Tegucigalpa and restor-
ing order in Honduras. The greatest
excitement prevails in Guatemala, and
another large war is predicted.
The peace treaty between Guatemala
and San Salvador remains unsettled
business as yet, owing to the Tact that
Barillas can give no satisfactory explain
alton as to what became OF the Saliva
doran prisoners IN the recent war. The
SngqSbt hg ab tg qRd AmsFeaFc ac ut MndIftfS d
terms, and relations between San Sal
vador and Guatemala are strained.
A San Salvador dispatch says: Sev-
eral Cabinet meetings have been held,
over which President Ezeta presided.
The full facts in regard to the report
that Barillas had sent troops to inter-
yenc in the affairs of Honduras were
considered, and the opinion prevails
that orders will be issued TO troops on
the frontier to march and intercept
the Guatemalan army. If this is carried
out general Cen tral American war
cannot be avoided.
A Guatemala dispatch says: 1t is
stated here that Gen. Ignacio Alatorre,
the Mexican Minister, has presented TO
the Guatemalan Government that in the
interest of peace, and IS prevent com
plications in Central America, which
might have disastrous results, Guate-
mala should maintain strict neutrality
in the Honduras revolution.

The Railroad Is eaten.

Sr. PAUL, MINI, November IL
Judge Vanderburgh, Of the Supreme
Court. handed down decision yester-
day which settles the question OF the
validity of railroad ticket purchased
of ticket broker or scalper, and the
liability of a railroad company to accept
such ticket when offered by an innocent
purchaser. In August, 1855, the North
ern Pacific railroad issued certain ex-
cursion tickets from Detroit, Mimi, to
Minneapolis and return. Casper Cars
ten bought the return stub OF a Mime
apolis broker and took passage from
Minneapolis to Detroit. The conduc-
tor would not accept this ticket. Cars
ten brought action against the railroad
company and the lower court held that
he could not recover. lie then appealed
to the Supreme Court and the decision
was reversed, the court holding that a
round trip ticket used by a purchaser
in going to the station named and then
sold and transferred, no restrictions
appearing, is valid in the hands OF the
holder and entities him to return pas
sage. subject to the prescribed limita-
tions as to time, etc, and actual dam
ages may be collected.

Robert Downing as Seen in "rhc White
Pilgrim" Last Night.

Wheeling thcater goers were brought
face TO face with a new play last even
ing, a tragedy that brought ont in GER
tain parts the almost unexamplcd pow
ers of the great tragedian. Robert
Downine. 1t is happily conceived and
beautifully written play. The scenes
are laid in Finland, in the twelfth CEN
tury. The plot hinges on an oath taken
by Harold to kill by stealth the first
Norman that visits the shore. The oath,
a blood curdling affair, is scarcely taken
when a Norman, wrecked on the shore,
comes on the scene. The act closes
with a powerful tableau. The quality
of Mr.. Downing's poetic, yet intensely y
human, personation was appreciated.
In certain parts Of the piece there was
an unaffected dignity, profound emo
ton, the unutterable soul-torture that
quickened the sympathies OF the audi
ence. and earnest imagination found
and suffered with the ideal.
The second and third acts are strong
and show Harold's feeling Of horror at
having to Kill his guest and friend. The
yirility of the work, its overwhelming
passion, its great despair and the ilnal
outburst of pent soul were such that
Mr.. Downing commanded the most fixed
attention. Thodisa, with whom Har-
old falls in love. comes on just in time.
Finnish superstition gives way before
Christianity, and there is no murder
done. Downing as Harold was at his
best. Miss Eugene Blair as Thordisa
played with excellent judgment and
strong feeling, coloring her work with
artistic and intellectual beauties. The
play throughout gave good satisfaction.

KOCH'S TRIUMPH.
The Treatment OF a Case of Lupus-Pro-
gress of the Patient.


BERLIN, November 12.-The follow
ing particulars are published of ease
of lupus of the face in Frankfort, which
has been treated by Prof. Koch's
methods. Six hours after the injection
of the lymph the temperature of the
patient rose to over 10if., and the pulse
to l20. At midnight the fever abated,
the sore swellcd, the heads of the lupus
ulcers became light yellow and a
serous liquid exuded. After thirteen
hours the scabS began to form. To-day
the patient was free from fever and the
ulcers were covered with Scabs similar
to those on n person recovering from
an eruptive fever or from eczema. The
doctor intends to inject more lymph
when the Scabs fall.
A medical correspondent of the Tdge-
bldtt reports that in case of lung dis
ease the patient complained OF pains in
the knee, which was regarded as
proof of the tuberculosis nature Of the
disease, and that an injection Of lymph
was made in the back, which was follow
ed by swelling of the knee joints.
Minister Won Gossler has given 200,-
600 marks for the erection of special
hospital for the treatment OF consump-
tives by the Koch method.
A patient who has been treated by
Prof. Koch will be shown to the Sur
gical Society, on Monday.

at the time of making the loans. The
firm had on hand, he said, about
100000 in securities and about twice
that sum was due in cash, which it was
thought would be paid within the next
few days and would go toward making
up to creditors any deficiencies on
securities. The creditors had
thus far borne themselves most AMIGA
bly,, and some of the larger ones had
offered several days TO straighten out
the difficulties, if possible. The firm
owed nothing outside Of the S3,000,-
900 due on loans, the securi-
ties on which were deemed suffi-
cient when the loans were made.
Mr.. Quintard said that the question Of
whether Whitney Il Co. would be able
to go on with their business depended
upon the state OF the market the next
few days, and the value of the securities
pledged.
