ALMOST A PANIC.
a Big Drop Ia Values ON the New Yorh
stock Exchange,

stock Exchange.s
New YoHx, July 26.--Almost a panic
ragged on the Stock Exchange yesterday
afternoon Stocks dropped away violently,
and some of the lowest prices in years were
recorded.
The failure of the Marine & Fire Insur-
snce Bank of Milwaukee started the heavy
selling, and later on the failures Of two
large banks in Louisville added TO the ex-
element.
The Milwaukee Bank Is the largest in
Wisconsin, and the largest in the West.
1t was founded by Alexander Mitchell, who
also practically built the st. Paul railroad.
There was no talk Of any local trouble,
and inquiry failed to develop the fact that
any was expected, but as the bears pointed
out, the troubles are getting TO New York
NIL the time.
The failures i'm the West caused heavy
drafts to be be made on the New York
banks for money, and over 81 ,000, 900 was
shipped to Louisville, Milwaukee and
Chicago.
The shipments were composed of both
currency and gold coin, as the banks have
more of the latter than they need. The
sub Treasury paid in al the Clearing
House over $500, 900 more in god coin.
None of the New York banks appears to
have suffered from the Western failures,
bnt il is feared that owing To the wide
spread connections of the Milwaukee Bank
further trouble may be expected to develop
from that source.
The whole list of stocks was weak. Moth
Ing stood up against the outpouring Of
selling orders. Stocks which have been
reported as gilt-edged investments tumbled
Is badly as ths others.

THAT DESERTED CHILD.
1t is Now in the Care and Custody
IfS Mother

1t is Now in the Care and Custody of
Its Mother.
Mrs Elsie E. Swesey called at the
RECORD UNION Office yesterday and
stated that there was no likelihood of a
charge being made against her for deser-
ton of her child, as she has the boy in
her care and custody now. The family
who had the child prior to the time she
made the complaint against her husband
had refused to care for it longer because
she was not able to pay sufficient sum.
Mrs. Swesey is a delicate woman and
says she is not able to take care of the
child though she would willingly do so.
Her father, who resides here, she says, is
willing to support her. but not the child
of a man he despises and whose marriage
to his daughter he opposed.

THE SWIMMING BATHS.
Somebody VIII be Able to Purchase

Somebody VIII be Able to Purchase
Them Cheap.
The directors of the Sacramento Swim
ming Baths Association last evening held
a meeting to discuss with its.creditors the
best plan for settling its liabilities. The
debts of the corporation aggregate -, 400,
and are due to three creditors, all of the
small debts having been paid. There is
due to the Farmers and Mechanics Say
ings Bank 6,239, which is secured by
trust deed TO the property OF the assocla-
ton. The other creditors are the Stock
ton Combined Harvester and Agricultural
Works, who furnished the boiler, ana the
Sacramento Coal Company.
AS the association is not able to meet It's
liabilities the probability is that the bank
will proceed to foreclose its mortgage and
sell the property. The lot. building and
plant cost about 81, 900. and certainly
ought to bring good deal more than the
amount OF the Indebtedness.
The baths were built by generous peo-
pie subscribing TO the stock of the asso-
citation in order TO establish here much
needed public institution. They have
been managed by a Board of Directors
who have worked to make them sue
cess, but who were not able to give
them the personal attention that such a
business ought to have. The past two
seasons have been extremely unfavOr-
able, improvements and repairs had to be
made, and the association. in spite of the
earnest work of the directors, has become
financially involved to such an extent
that they cannot carry it through. There
is no doubt, however, that in the hands
OF private parties the baths would pay
well.

People Who Complain of the Drainage
Canal as "a Nuisance.
The case of L. NJ. Lincoln against the
city still drags its slow length along
through Judge Catlin's court, and it will
take many days more TO conclude it.
Drs. Huntington, Q. B. Nichols and
other physicians testified yesterday for
the plaintiff that the sewage and drainage
sent down from the city was causing
sickness along the canal. Other wit
nesses testified that the stencil was so
great as to drive them from their work in
the vicinity OF the sloughs into which the
canal deposits its drainage.
The plaintiff has put in a great deal of
strong testimony TO the effect that the
drainage canal is nuisance and menace
to the health of a large neighborhood.
