English Financial Markets.

LONDON, May 1O.-A further rise OF
the Bank of England rate is probable in
view of the falling off of reserve, com
bined with the further decline of gold
to the continent. About 9l,200, 900 in
gold is coming from New York, but it is
expected that the whole will be bought
up in open market for Russia.
Although American Railway Securi-
ties have fallen away under the de-
pressing influence here, and the lnll in
the bull movement in New York, there
continues to be an undercurrant Of
strength. In dealings yesterday con-
siderable blocks at reduced values were
readily absorbed. The conviction is
general that with the cessation of the
gold movement the tone of the market
will quickly recover.

MR.. wANAmAKER INVOLVED.
Rumors That the Postmaster General was
Caught in the Keystone Failure.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Since the
doors OF the Spring Garden National
Bank OF Philadelphia were closed yes
terday under orders from the Comp
troller of the Currency, the statement
has been persistently made in financial
and political circles that Postmaster
General Wanamaker was deeply in
volved in the affairs of the bank as a
borrower and otherwise, and that it Is
due largely to the fact that the Comp
troler was very slow in stopping the
banks career. To-day Comptroller
Lacey said that the Postmaster General
was not, TO his knowledge, interested in
the Spring Garden Bank, either as Off
eer, borrower or depoSitor.
The clean bill Of health which the
Treasury officials give Mr.. Wanamaker,
as far as the failure of the Spring
Garden Bank is concerned, it may not
be possible to extend To the failure of
the Keystone Bank. Comptroller Lacey
makes the same denial in this case as in
the other. as far as the charge that in
fluenee in Mr.. Wanamaker's behalf was
used to delay the closing of the banks
doors. but he is not certain that Mr..
Wanamaker was not shareholder In
the keystone Bank, whose failure was
such a disgraceful one. The Comptroller
said to-day that the Examiners report
on the defunct Keystone Bank shows
that Mr.. Wanamaker was depoSitor
and that small balance stands TO his
credit on the books now.

GOV. CAMPBELL AND OHIO POLITICS.
He is Expecting to Run Against Major
Mckinley for Governor.

PITTsBURG, May 10.-Gov. Campbell
of Ohio passed through the city this
forenoon on his way to Salem, Ohio.
Upon being queried concerning the
statement made recently by J. NJ. Lewis
that Governor Who'll required to make
the appointments OF all Boards from a
small municipality up to the great State
institutions could not be elected Gov.
Campbell replied: Il am not aware
that ! have made men enemies through
my appointments, and | do not think
that matter will have any weight
against me in the coming contest. Time
will show that my official acts have al
ways been open to public criticism"
II suppose your opponent will be Ma
jor William McKinley?' queried the in
terviewer.
"Yes, believe that is the intention
of the Republican element. Senator
Sherman is candidate for.,re election 10
the United States Senate, but ne will
have very strong opponent IN the per-
son of the Hon. Larry Il. Neal Of Chilli
cothe, who will doubtless be the Demo-
cratic nominee. A number Of promi-
nent men have already been mentioned
in connection with the United States
Senatorship, but there is none more fit
ted as an exponent of Democratic prin-
ciples for the Office of Senator than Mr..
Neal, and should he be the nominee OF
the party, being such a general fayorte
among Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis, he will stand very favorable
chance of winning the fight. The cam
paign will certainly be hot one"
"Are you taking any particular in
terest in national poitics?"
"No; in fact, have my hands full in
looking after State affairs. While Mr.
Cleveland at present seems TO be the
strongest candidate mentioned, public
opinion is subject to great and sudden
changes. Ohio Democracy, however,
will give an unequivocal support TO the
nominee of the party, whoever he may
be. Mr.. Cleveland gave an excellent
administration before, and ne may have
an opportunity 10 serve the republic
again as the chief executive Of the ma
tion. Am candidate for reelection?

STRUCK DEAD
In Pittsburg Cemetery While Working

PIrrsBURG, May 10.-The believers in
evil omens would find ground for
their beliefs in connection with the
tomb Of Capt. Jones. 1t will be re-
membere that he lost his life through
an explosion in the Edgar Thomson
works at Braddock. Yesterday John
Foster, of Mt. Washington, was struck
dead while working on a granite shaft
which will mark the last resting place
of Capt Jones in MOnongahela ceme-
terry at Braddock
II was bright day, several funerals
were in progress. and hundreds of peo-
pie were out to see the graves of their
lost ones. Here a grave was just re-
ceiying it's burden of mortality. Just
beyond Kunkle & Jordan's men were
working on the monument. The min
lister was repeating Earth TO earth"
when, raising his eyes, he saw form
stagger and fall, and when he concluded
with ''aSheS to ashes" he had repeated
the office Of the dead for TWO finished
lives instead of one.
Later the body was removed, and
Squire Hoffman held an inquest. The
verdict was death from heart failure.
