New YORK, November %, 1890.
As the excitement Of the recent
panicky feeling in Wall street begins 10
simmer down financial wiseacres are
now picking out the operators who have
lost small fortunes by the depression.
James r. Keene was the first to he hit
by the rapid fluctuations in sugar trusts
and he is reported to have parted Win
100000, although he had made
al, 900, 900 when the same certificates
were inflated q few months De
fore. Austin Corbin's general equa-
bic temperament was ruflled when
the Reading pool collapsed, and DIS
financial losses are estimated at SLOW
900. Irving 4. Evans, or as he IS behef
known in Boston as Nervy Evans, lost
100000 in Atchison and Burlington
and Quincy. Even Senator.elect CAT
win S. Brice aud General Samuel ".
Thomas dropped a quarter OF a million
dollars apiece when large liquidation
was in progress in a prominent broker S
Office on Broad street. Henry WIZARD
credit was attached when the depression
was at its height and he had 70
part with large lines of Northern ia.
cifc, involving heavy losses. One OF
the most amusing features OF the liqui-
dation is the loss OF Sl50,0O0 by CALVIN
S. Armstrong, financial editor OF morn
ing daily, for be demonstrated with the
pools in which he was interested, but DIS
broker would not release him, ana ne
had to pocket hi misfortune along WIN
his associates. The list could be extend
ed 0d jnfHitum, and about the only
ones on the other side of the account are
Addison Commack, the leader OF the
"bear party, and John Bloodgood, the
"Beau Brummell " OF Wall street.
THE M'GLYSN CRAZE OVER.
The McGlynn craze 10 over. 1t has
ceased to interest only few persons who
have been for a long time warm adj
mirers of the eloquent ex-priest. To be
sure, there is fair-slzed crowd OF men
and women who go to hear McGlynn
every Sunday night, for be always talks
Interestingly and be is a man OF wonder
full personal magnetism. Time was when
he was followed in the streets by crowds
of people and every word he uttered was
reported IN the newspapers. To-day
none Of the newspapers pay the slight
est attention to him and he walks along
the street without attracting more atten-
ton than the humblcst citizen, There
have been rumors that he is to return to
the Church, hut these have no basis IN
fnct lie would not return if he could,
and he could not return If he would.
The door is barred against him forever
he knows this, and he also knows, II he
knows ANYTHING, that he has dismally
failed in an effort to build up an Anti
Poverty Soeiety and make his influence
against the Romish Church felt to any
considerable degree.
IL is surprising, but fact neverthe-
less. that another priest, also known as
silver-tongued orator and man OF
striking ability, has been warned by the
Church 10 attend more strictly TO his
pastoral duties and let outside matters
alone This man is Father Ducey, pas
tor of st. Leo's church, one of the
wealthiest in New York. He took q
very active part in the recent cam
psign. and has done and said things
that have displeased his snperiors III
the Church. He has paid no atten-
ton to the Archbishops frequent
admonitions. He will be warned again,
and then, if lie does not cease to but hi:
head against the stone wall of authority
he will be transferred to another parish
where he will have no influence. Should
he still persist in pursuing his owl
course he will be disciplined for il, anC
after that the last step, he will be unfrock
ed. The example Of McGlynn does no
seem to have deferred him in any way
He seems bound to force himself out o
the Church.
