Henry Clews' weekly Financial Review
issued today, says: The stock market did not
disappoint expectations. Prices have expert
enced good advance, and indications are still
favorable. As already maintained in these ad-
vices, the basis Of the present advance is the
confidence Of the big holders of stocks in the
future development and resources Of the coun-
try. Our commercial and industrial interests
are now enjoying a very fair share of prosperity
Business ia not only on larger scale than ever
before, as demonstrated by clearing house re-
turns and railroad earnings, but it is also in ex-
ceptionally sound condition-this statement
being confirmed by the small number as we'll
as the character Of business failures. Agricul-
tural interests are also in good shape. as. in
spite OF smaller yields of wheat, corn, cotton and
other products, We shall. with last seasons sur
plus, have sufficient and to spare. The rail-
roads are not likely to suffer from any insuffi-
cheney Of freight for some time TO come Judg-
ing by the small additions to mileage during
the last few years and the increase of traffic and
population there is more likely to be u scarcity
OF facilities than Of tonnage. Two events hap
pened during the week under review which very
materially strengthened the market. viz. the
Texas railroad decision and the collapse Of the
Buffalo strike. The future Of the market GER
tainly seems favorable. In addition to the facts
Just mentioned, stocks are in strong hands ard
money promises to remain easy, even though
rates show more frmness.

The Work Of Train wreckcrs.

PIrTssURa, Aug. IA dastardly ate mp wa
made to wreck the New York and Chicago ex-
press on the Fort Wayne road. near Enon val
ley, last night and two men are now
in Allegheny lookup ON suspicion
OF having been concerned in the
crime. 1t is said that a man named
Adams discovered the distractions and
was in the act Of removing them when
he was shot by thieves, who were in hiding.
He was shot in the forehead, but ia
still living. The train had a large amount
Of money on board. The train left this city on
time, and about IL o'clock last night, when near
Enon Valley, the engineer discoveredan obstruc-
ton on the track and succeeded in checking the
train in time to avert serious accident. It
was found that some ties had been placed on the
track and firmly secured A search in the
vicinity was made and two suspicious looking
men were found. They we're bound and held
until an east bound train arrived. They
were placed on board and are now
in the Allegheny lookup awaiting an
investigation. The place where this attempt
was made to wreck the train was An isolated
one, and the tends could have pursued their
work of robbery without molestation The
passengers were greatly excited and threats of
lynching were made.
