An Eccentric Hotel Man.

Isaac s. Craft, who has just died in this
city, was a man of great enterprise and
some eccentricity, says the Boston CORE
spondent of the Hartford COurdat. If any
OF your readers have been in Bethlehem.
n. H., during their summer Journey they
have seen evidence of both qualities from
Mr.. Crafts doings in that town. He was the
son of a Boston shipowner and capitalist,
and inherited money as well as made it, He
was attracted to Bethlehem, and didn't
altogether like the way the Junction house
in that place was kept. The:landlord testify
asked him why he did not build house of
his own. He said ne thought he would, and
he set soon about it. This was the begin
ing of the Maplewood section of
that town, now the finest part of
it, Mr.. Craft bought some hun
dreds of acres of land here. He found a
small hotel in operation. He moved this
the handsomest house in the White noun
tains, and one of the largest. He brought
the land into cultivation and established an
immense farm, which provided him with
diary. This was all great success. After
it his restless mind began to exhibit eccen-
tricity. He built third hotel, and large
one. When it was done, he said he did not
like it. So it stood two years unused. In
the third, he thought he would change its
building moved for an eighth of a
mile to the top of a hill. Then he
left it still unoccupied. For five or six
years it has thus stood, somewhat naked
by the work of moving, and entirely unfin-
ished in the grounds about it. The secret
of why it was thus left died with him.
Three years ago he started casino on the
original site of this hotel. 1t was when
finished very tasteful aud handsome build
ing. Yet when this point was reached, MIR.
Craft put the key in his pocket and kept it
there to the day of his death. Why this
was unopened is another secret that died
with him. He was 65 years of age when he
died chad been in feeble health for long
time; and yet in the midst of it he had en-
ergy to go down to Florida and start two
summer hotels there, one large one which
he built himself. His hotel investments
must be toward 100000. He leaves no
children, and his will probably provides for
what shall be done with his property. Gen.
George H. Craft, his nephew, formerly on
the staff Of the governor Of New Hampshire,
has had the direction OF it.

SATURDAY. Nov %
The last seven days have witnessed some
extraordinary fluctuations on the Stock Ex-
change. Within that period the street has
been twice on the verge OF q panic. yet has
pulled itself together, and. at the close OF bust
ness to-day. the prices OF stocks are. with
hardly an exception. materially higher than
they were last Saturday. Wall street is pre-
eminently place where effects are produced
quickly. Within day and a half. namely, last
Saturday morning and again on Monday. the
stock market reflected the full force OF the
shock that the commercial world experienced
of the Bsrings. OF course. there were after
effects. which Were caused by fears OF result
ing disasters both in London and at this
centre. They werc most pronounced on
Wednesday. AS those wore away. the iney!ta-
BILE reaction set in. and yesterday and to-day
prices have advanced Us rapidly as they had
declined. The recovery has not been entirely
natural for pow srful interests. which. mpelled
TO stand under the market when it was at its
worst have, without the slightest doubt forced
the rally with the view, probably. OF making
the short interest buy al least q part 0. the
stocks which they had to take on Saturday.
Monday and on Wednesday to avert crisis.
However that may be. the improvement in
prices has naturally developed a better feel
Ing. 1t can hardly be called confdenee. for
that has been so badly shaken that time will
be required TO restore 1t.
Tho street is more cheerful to- light because
the rally has facilitated the marketing OF a
good many securities and the liquidation OF
large amount OF loans at prices that compare
very favorably with the lowest that have been
recorded The street has been SO severely
shaken that many holders OF stocks who have
carried them down will be only too glad to i'm
prove the present opportunity 10 tighten
their loads OF throw them off altogether
The undeniable temperance Of Mr.
Gould a an active force in the market
will not influence operators Of that class
to hold their stocks for higher prices. Mr.
Gould's movements In the market are 80 quick
and decisive that only the most daring specu-
lators will endeavor to follow them 1t is now
clear that Mr.. Gould was prepared to take ad-
vantage OF the untoward events OF the last two
or three weeks to carry several points which
must have been objective with him for
long time. An important question at the
moment is whether he has carried every
point that lie has had IN mind. There 10
as yet no evidence that his undisguised an-
tipathy to the management OF the Rock Island
Company has found complete expression. Mr..
Gould's avowed intention is to improve the
Western railroad situation. and he has made
substantial progress upon the lines which he
has publicly laid down II remains to be seen
whether every interest In the man nagement OF
the Western Trunk Lines has become docile,
and hence willing to subscribe in good
faith to whatever plan may bs pro-
posed for the permanent improvement Of

she Elevated Road.
Hundreds OF people were subjected TO acute
discomfort. and many to actual peril. by a
short blockade at $3.50 yesterday afternoon at
the City Hall station OF the elevated road.
The narrow platform was packed with peo-
ple half striving to go In ono direction
and half In the other. Many more strug-
sled to enter from the street and others
TO leave the cars Of arriving trains. Tho
result was desperate crush in which all in
volved were soon pinioned hand and foot and
unable to move either way. In any but New
YorE crowd the situation would surely. have
bred panic Women were painting and half
fainting under the pressure. and men we're
hardly less alarmed. 30 f:ightful did the Jam
become.
The railroad employees did nothing to re.
lieve the situate but continued to admit all
who tried to crowd through the entrance.
Finally two or three bridge policemen who
saw the danger from below wisely assumed
the responsibility OF shutting. of the file OF
people still going np the stairs The crowd

tremeties OF the platform. and beginning at

had jumped switch at Forty-second street
and caused q ten-minute blockade at that
