TWO COPPER SCHEMES.

Proposed Combination to Overshadow
the Defunc1 French Syndicate.
New YORK, Sept. 3.-There are whis-
penngs of combination in the copper
world that Will overshadow the defunct
French syndicate. For more than two
months owners of very extensive inter
ests have been at work, and
two schemes are on the American
carpet. One, said to be backed by O
Fulton Street house, is to establish
corporation selling agency for all Amer
lean copper. and the other to form one
large company to absorb the copper
producers outright, and then, by virtue
of absolute ownership, control the mar
ket. The hackers OF the first schame
are said to favor the latter as second
choice. American mine owners have
been on the otter side tor some
weeks feeling the European pulse.

Cholera Panic Seriously Affects Market
Values.
New York, Sept. t.-The cholera
scare was the all-absorbing topic on
Wall Street to-day, creating uneasln ess
IN nearly all circles and causing
sharp declines in stocks, bonds
and all speculative futures. In the
stock Exchange the effect was most
marked. The exchange was dull of
selling orders at the opening, and
when the signal to trade was
given there was a regular STAN
pede among stockholders. Everyone
tried to sell at once, but the most
marked declines were in the stock IN
which speculative clique has lately
been working. The stocks include
Sugar, Western Union, Manhattan and
Cordage, Sugar declined to G8, Manhat-
tan per cent, Western Union Al and
Cordage 3. 1t was currently reported
that these sharp breaks we're
due to sales for S. V. White,
who decided to unload on the market
without consulting his colleagues in the
deal. The sharp break in the securities
named caused intense eX ;itment in the
first hour. and traders and holders of
other stock joined in the selling.
AS prices declined stop orders were
reached in many stocks and declines
ranging from to per cent. were made
IN almost everything on the list.
After the first hour the market be-
came quleter on the news that no new
cholera patients were found on the
steamers which arrived last night, but
when President Harrison's message an
nouncing a twenty days quarantine
was received, there was another
stampede and the uneasiness increased.

light, left the 500 Canal Tuesday after
noon, having on board as passengers
Cant. Peter Minch, her owner, lis wife,
children, and his wife's sister, besides
the regular crew Of twenty-five hands,
The rest of her short history and the
sad fatality is best told in the words of
Stewart, who is the only one left Of the
twenty seven souls to tell the terrible
tale:
Everything went we'll until about
sixty miles above Whitefsh, when the
first warning anyone on board had OF
impending danger was terrible crash
about 9 A. NJ. caused BY the huge craft
breaking in two and breaking the main
mast about halfway up the rigging. She.
took in water fast from the start, and
the yawl boats were lowered. Capt.
Minch, his family and the officers and
crew Of the boat, to the number of
seventeen, got into the wooden yawl,
and the others took to the metallic one
The Reserve sank in ten minutes, and
before she had hardly gone out
OF sight the metallic yawl cap
sized. The other went to her
assistance, but only succeeded in res
culng two Of her occupants, Capt
Myers son and the steward. The nine
teen survivors started for Whitehsh
Point, sixty miles away. The wind was
about west when they started, but
veered to the north, making considera-
BILE sea. But the yawl weathered the
breakers all night and until the next
morning, when about ten miles from
li1e-saving station No. 10 and about q
mile from the shore, it capsized. Stew
art eavs that he saw none of the occu~
pants after that. He struck out
tor the shore, but the cries
Of the children, screams of the
women and moaning Of the men were
terrible for a few moments. Then all
became silent. Stewart was in the
water two hours. He struck shore
about ten miles above the station and
had to walk there before reaching any
one to render him assistance. A search
failed to find any trace Of any other
survivor OF the wreck, and there Is no
question they were all drowned.

LOST CABIN MINES FOUND.
Accidental Discovery of Rich Vein OF
Ore in Dakota.

Ore in Dakota.
DEADwooD, S. D., Sept. Sit is be-
lieved here that the celebrated Lost
Cabin" mines have been found. Will
lam S. Dany, prospector, has returned
from a long prospecting tour and
brought with him several thousand dol
lars worth of gold nuggets and q
number of specimens Of ore fairly
bristling with particles of gold. Danys'
story is that some weeks ago, while
hunting in the western part of the
Black Hills, he STUN pled into what he
at first supposed was a small cave, but
which, upon subsequent investigation,
proved to be room 30x20 feet and of
an average height of feet, rudelY hewn
out of solid rock by human hands. This
room he first discovered to contain
the skeleton of human being, which,
exciting bis curiosity, induced q search
that was rewarded by finding gold mug
gets of an aggregate value of S25, 900.
The place WAS many miles from settle
ment, and he remained until 8 week ago
searching for the NINE from which the
nuggets came. He claims to have found
it, and says that the ore he has
was taken from it. The fact that
Danys has so much gold with
him lends plausibility to the story.
which is creating a great deal of excite
ment and will cause numerous pros
pecting parties TO start out. 1t is not
probable that they will find the mine,
however, as Danys refuses to locate 1t
any more definitely than saying it is
about fifty miles from Deadwood, in the
western part of the Black Hills.

POWDER SHIP BLOWN Up.
Terrific Explosion on Vessel in Green
ock Harbor.

Terrific Explosion on Vessel in Green
ock Harbur.
GREENoCK, Sept. 1.-The people OF
this city and vicinity were startled this
morning by deafening roar that was
subsequently ascertained to have been
caused by a powder explosion. The
new bark Auch Mountain, with twenty
tons of gunpoWder on board, had been
lying at anchor on the Firth of Clyde,
off GIeenock. Persons who were look
ing in the direction Of the
bark say they saw a binding flash OF
light, followed by 81 conclusion that
shook the earth. Then a dense smoke
arose, and when it lifted a little it was
seen that the bark was blown to pieces.
Her poop deck, matches and deck
houses were blown to pieces, while he1
masts were broken off and fell along
side the wreck. The topgallant fore.
castle was blown out, and the whole
forward part Of the vessel was torn 10
pieces. Aft the destruction was just
about as complete. The long boat
which was lying upturned on top of the
galley, was caught up and went sailing
through the air at a far greater rate OF
speed than it had ever been propelled
through the water. Above the water
line the planking was blown out, leav-
ing huge holes, while below many Of
the butts were started and the water
poured in in torrents. On shore the eft.
tects of the explosion were extensive.
The windows of houses and
shops along the water front
were shattered, and some of the
older houses swayed to and fro as
though moved by an earthquake.
Many windows were also broken far.
Their up in the city, and for little time
there was considerable excitement, not
to say alarm, but it Quickly subsidized
when the cause of the commotlon be-
came known. A most peculiar feature
of the accident is that nobody on board
of the bark was killed Some of the
crew were badly burned, some were
thrown into the water, but none were
lost. No explanation of the accident
has yet been advanced.

A German Farmer Murdered by Ills
Wife and Daughter.
KNOX, Ind, Sept. 3.-Near San Pierre,
a small town IL the west end of this
county, yesterday, Nicholas Gerarty. an
old German farmer, had misunder-
standing with his wife, and she lett him,
going over to live with her married
daughter, Mrs. Charles Kersting,
who lives on an adjoining farm.
About O'Clock in the evening
the old man tried to persuade
his wife to return home with him, which
che refused to do, Whereupon he tried
to eject her from the house. At this
luncture his step-daughter, Mrs. Charles
kersting, hit him on the head with an
axe, knocking him down. The two
women then dragged him out into the
front yard, where Mrs. Gerarty
held him while Mrs. Kersting
stabbed him with a butcher knife.
He was stabbed and cut in over fifty
places on the body and face. One cut
severed the jugular vein, and eight cuts
were through the groin and abdomen.
His face was almost literally slashed to
pieces. The women are under arrest
and will be lodged in jail this evening.
They are now strongly guarded. as fears
