feet that large speculative firm is deeply
involved in connection with American
railway and other securities in the United
States, and that the efforts of this firm to
get out of trouble are causing the present
nervous bear condition of the market It
is believed. however, that the firm which is
involved will meet all its engagements so
that great failures will not be added to the
trouble.
Another serious case has been revealed
just now, and is occasioning good deal of
astonishment and anxiety. The death of
the sole surviving member of an old firm
has disclosed the fact that he or rather the
firm has been gambling to an incredible
extent, and that the heavy losses of the
firm incident to its reckless course of spec
ulation, which had hitherto been met by
very regular methods Of financeering, now
exceed 100000.
The fears that there would be some fall
ures on the stock exchange today from re-
sulting settlement have been confirmed. The
suspension Of two brokers is announced.
One of them Was large operator, but the
other failure was that Of iobber on ex-

WAsHrxeroE CIrY, Oct f1.-Yesterday
afternoon Justice Samuel r. Miller. of the
supreme court Of the United states. was

critical condition, though comfortable and
with mind clear. He was returning from
the supreme courtroom. and when within
sight Of his residences was seen to stagger
and fall. His servant rushed to his assist.
ance, got him home q0ickly and Drs. Cook
and Lincoln were soon in attendance. They
found that the left side Of the justice was
paralyzed. Judge Miller had BEEN suffer
ing nearly all summer from an attack OF
dysentery. but ct no time WAS the illness
severe enough to prevent him from attend
ing to judicial duties while on his annual
court circuit in the West. He returned to
Washington City last week, feeling much
better, though somewhat weak. This
morning he was feeling unusually we'll.
The justice, in telling Mrs. Miller Of his
fall, said he felt his knees giving way from
under him. and his legs felt 20 heavy that
he could hardly lift them, thinking it was
sudden return Of rheumatic twinge
which he often felt.
He made another effort to step forward,
ana as he did so he either tripped on car
track or slipped and fell forward on his
face, left side and arm. at the same time
cutting his forehead slightly and causing
an abrasion Of the skin on the nose. John
Woodford. the Justices servant, who was
standing in the door at the time, saw him
fall. He Immediately ran to his assistance,
and with the help of some bystanders
raised the Judge 70 his feet, and placing him
into cab conveyed him to his home.
An improvised stretcher was brought
out, and though the Judge protested against
being placed on it, as he said he felt per-
fectly able. with assistance, to walk. he ct
last consented, and was taken gently up the
terrace leading to the house. into the office
on the first floor. Meantime Mrs. Miller,
who was out, arrived, and finding the
judge down Immediately had him removed
to his room on the second floor. The
change was unwiIlingly made on his part.
When the Justices bedroom was reached
he jocoseiy remarked: s.Just place the
stretcher alonside of the bed" Much to
their surprise, DR.. Cook, who lives two
doors away, was called In, and DR.. Lincoln
sent for. They administered some restora-
tives, and after examination found he had
been stricken with paralysis OF the left side,
from the arm down. The numbness has
now partially disappeared.
At O'Clock this Saturday, morning, it
is stated that the justice is resting quietly.
The family think he is > little better.

The advent of handsome New Yorker
is enough to cause commotion, but
the appearance of an artist, and one

the hearts of the susceptible young
girls a-fiuttering. They were assiduous
in their attentions to him, and he en-
joyed the pleasure of being courted in
stead of courting, until, during jocose
moment. he mentioned to several
grouped about him that he probably
had more correspondence with them
than any of their gentleman friends.
The students were surprised, and asked
him to explain.
''You received the corset sent you,

with astonishment.
Yes; bust Sc, waist 49," responded
the artist.

artist, Il hope you won't deny that l,

This was too much for the modest

more when the head of a rat was
