CLIQUE showed up. II any Of them
had they would have heardsome I'M
pleasant truths, for it seemed to be
generally understood that every one
Of them was licensed to roast the
"I,ittle Wizard as vigorously as ne
pleased: The prevailing impression
was that the market would recover
today from the shock which con
vulsed IL Friday and Saturday. All
agreed that there was no sound rea-
son for the break. Gould had sprung
n trick and Wall street had been
duped without stopping to thi1k
what It was all about. Now that
they had opene their eyes they
could see that all this furry was
about almost nothing. Gould, his
son George and Russell Sage wer'
reported to have had consultation
and to have decided that 1t would
be unwise for the Missouri Pacific
dire tors to declare dividend AZ
their meeting. Gould bad caused
this report TO be circulated through
hls various orgaRs aud news agen-
cies. On the receipt Of this report,
which really amounted to no more
than idle rumor, Wall street went
crazy and thebottomfellout ofstocks.
Gossip about the Union Pacific was
very much of the same character.
Gould it was said, had tried to ell
rich himself by spreading repor
that the road was likely to pass int
the hands of a receiver. His end'
had been thwarted, however, by int
firm stand Of j. Pierrepont Morgan,
when he declared that the schemt
for funding the floating indebted
ness of the Union Pacific was already
perfected, and that the money wa'
certain to be raised whether GOul6
helped or not.
AN ELoPEMENT SPOILED.
ORANGE, N. j., Sept. 29.-Henry
Walters, of Norman street, East
Orange, was caught Sunday night
in an attempt to elopc with Gertrud'
Beck, Of Belmont avenue, Newark
Six weeks ago he deserted his wifi
aud four children, the youngest only
four months old. Walters is an
Englishman about thirty-six years
old and decorative artist of consld-
erable ability. Although he is capa-
bile of earning $50 week he only
gave his wife 80 cents in postage
stamps TO support the family on
while he was away. Last Monday
Miss Beck called on Mrs. Walters,
and told her that her husband was
living In Newark, and proposed to
her to marry him. She had found
out that he was already married,
and told Mrs. Walters. The two
then concocted a plan to catch him
Saturday evening, when he called
on Miss Beck, as was his custom.
Sunday Miss Beck received tele-
gram from Walters asking her TO
meet him on the corner of Broad and
Orange streets, Newark. She in
formed the East Orange police, and
Sergeant Bell kept the appointment
with her. When Walters jumped
off the horse-car to greet Miss Beck,
the officer arrested him. He had
given Miss Beck his wife's gold
watch and chain as a present.
