The failure of the Stock Exchange house Of
s. V. White a. Co. did not bring in its train
yesterday the calamities predicted by the
bear traders on Tuesday. None of the malig
nant rumOrs so freely circulated were con
frmed. and Wall street heard with satisfaction
the semi-OfficIal assurance gwen that Mr..
White would be able 20 resume at an early
date. The affairs of the firm are showing
more satisfactory condition than had been
looked for and no other house Is likely 70 be
embarrassed by any OF the consequences of
the suspension.

work this morning.
There was also strike Of housesmiths
working for Cornell at Blocker street. near

A Row of Buildings on jackson Street
Considerably Damaged.
The row of two-story frame buildings on
the south side Of jackson street, between
Front aud Davis, built in the fifties, mar
rowly escaped total destruction by fire yes
terday afternoon. AT 3:15 o'clock smoke
was seen issuing from the rear of Mrs. Mary
Adams Keystone Lodging-house AT No
129 and an alarm was turned in from Box 10.
By the time the fire engines arrived the
flames had communicated to the upper
stories of the adjoining structures. In half
an hour the fire was extingusEed, but not
before the clothing stores of David Bros,
at No. 127, and NJ. B. Cohn, at No. 131. were
considerably damaged. All the furniture in
the Keystone House was destroyed and Mrs.
Adams sustained loss of nearly $1,000
She bought the place only two weeks ago
and was not insured
The shipping office of F. b. Walton. at

$500 on the contents and $500 on the
buildings, which are owned by Charles Il.

tated to the side walk by an awning on
which he stood giving way, but escaped in

This L. Our WaIter.

Colonel F. S. Chadbourne, whose bright
uniform has attracted so much favorable
comment since his appointment to place
on the Governors staff, relates that the re-
cent trip through Southern California was
one continuous round of pleasure.
THE most laughable incident occurred,
however," to quote the Colonel, Ton the
train between San Diego and Los Angeles.
A farmer entered our car and began at once
to gaze curiously at the members OF the
staff. With us was Walter Maxwell, erst-
while candidate for Chief Of the Horticul-
tural Bureau at Chicago, and he noticed the
farmers curiosity.
".Queer old duck that said Maxwell.

Few people. perhaps, who witnessed the
play Of Alabama" a few days ago at the
Baldwin know anything of the history of
the author, Augustus Thomas, or Gus" as
be is known to his iDtmates. Three years
ago he was employed as a reporter on the
ST. Louis Republic at salary of S25 week,
and after thinking the matter over tor some
time determined to ask for an increase. Ac-
cordingly he went to the managing editor
and suggested that he considered his SER
vices worth $50
''But, Mr.. Thomas" was the reply, 81 can
get all the reporters | need for S25 a week,
and for that reason | must deny your re-
quest"
In a pet Thomas resigned and locking
himself in his room produced The Burglar"
