NEW YORK, July 2O-Tbe nervous
feeling in Wall street, which was so
noticeable to-day, was said TO be due
largely 90 the uncertainty regarding
the identity OF s0me corporations on be-
half Of which an application was made
yesterday in the l.. 5. Circuit Court for
the appointment of a receiver, without
disclosing the name of the applicant
BY direction OF Judge Brown the papers
iu accordance with the request Of coun-
sci on both sides were kept
private, so that the name Of the embar-
rassed company should not be divuIged.
This action of Judge Brown was vigor-
Ousiy condemned I'm financial circles
this morning. It resulted in the names
OF several prominent companies being
suggested as the one concerned, and In
a \ least one case a serious decline
in the price OF the stock Of
ons OF those companies result
ed therefrOm. Prompt deuialS
we're, of course, made by the officers Of
the companies against whom suspicion
was thus directed, but 10 the absence Of
precise Information as 10 what company
the application referred TO, we'll inform
ed bankers, aud others finally learned
that none OF the Companies mentioned
was the one referred 20 in the appllca-
tion Several bank presidents said that
the action of Judge Brown was llI-ad-
vised, because it might be the means OF
doing a great Injustice 70 Innocent
parties.
''For instance, said one OF them,
f'this bank might To good faith to-day
discount a note OF this mysterious cor
pOrati0n, OF accept some OF It's checks
olly 90 learn tomorrow, TOO late 20 pro-
tect ourselves, that the company was
in the hands Of receiver"
The sub-treasury was debtor at the
clearing house this morning Si5l,OO0
OF which about S400, 600 was settled In
gold. The sub-treasury up 90 midday had
exchanged 100000 in currency, most
ly 'sfves," items" and "twentieS," for
large green backs aud gold certificates
and it was expected that little more
would be exchanged later 10 the day. IL
was supposed that the currency thus
obtained from the su0-Treasury was for
shipment 90 81. Louis and Kansas City
FROM which points demands for cash
were reported to-day oy two or three Of
the larger banks.
Regarding the shipments Of cash to
ST Louis, the president OF one Of the
large banks which sent out the money
said that be did not regard the demand
from that center at this time as at all
serious.
The threatened closing OF the mills 10
the East Is regarded as a much more Sc
rious feature OF the present situation
than the closing Of the Denver banks.
The situation 10 Philadelphia was
said by New York bankers to-day TO be
worse. Application had been received
nrom there for cash, 10 order that this
weeks pay rolls might be supplied.
The barks which received the aDplica-
tions forwarded the necessary currency.
The clearing house committee met
this morning and issued $4,000 Of loan
certificates 20 a small uptown bank.
No certificates were retired, but it was
regarded as probably that $3.50, 600
would be retired before the close Of
business to-day.

ROUNDTRIPFOR$98.5O
Pacific Coast Rate to Worlds
Fair Established.
GOOD UNTIL END OF OCTOBER.
Commission VIII Investigate Res4 Ruy-
ellup Koad-snohomish Depot De-
creased In Sixe-Railroad Notes.

General Agent Nadeau yesterday re-
ccived Geographic advices that the Trans
continental Association, at its meeting in
Chicago, had agreed upon Pacific coast
round trip rate Of So. 50 during the Worlds
fair. The rate 10 st. Louis and return will
be s92, and to st. Paul and other Missouri
river points and return will be $50. The
new rates 20 into effect May 1 and tickets
will be sold under them up to and inciud-
ing October %. The limit to be observed
east of Missouri river points for the return
trip is November Is, 1893, and from Mis-
eouTi river points the nine months limit
from date Of sale of the tickets will apply.
The agreement provides that passengers
may 70 over one line and return over any
other direct line. Passengers must choose
their return route in advance, and the out
going trip must be made over the road Of
the company selling the ticket. In case
the passenger desires to return over any
other than direct line the rate will be in
creased to conform with the instructions
now in effect.
The rates were practically agreed upon
on the basis of a resolution adopted early
in the meeting that the reduction should
be about 30 per cent. but in no case should
the rate be less than cents per mile.
The row between the Atchison and the
Rio Grande will not be allowed to inter-
fere with the trapscontinental rates, as
they will be kept below the sum of all
local rates,

Bad Condition OF Wooden Sewers
Water supply In Fremont.


Water supply In Fremont.
Street Commissioner Ryan reported that
q number of wooden sewers were con.
stantly falling in. One running from the
Pontius addition to West street was in a
shocking condition. The cost Of repairs
would be about 5000
Commissioner Wolfe said that probably
no extensive alteration could be made I'M
til the Lake Union tunnel was completed,
but the attention of the city council ought
to be called to the condition of affairs.
A petition was received from property
owners in Fremont for permission to l.
Burlingame and L. II. Griffith to extend
water pipes. as more water is needed: re-
ferred to the council.
The Union Trunk Railway Company
notified the board that they were willing
to change their tracks on Sixteenth street
in conformity to the new grade but they
needed permit to stop running for that
time. 1t was sent to the council.
An application was received by the
board of public works yesterday that
South Fourth street, between Yesler aye
nue. and Jackson street, be planked. 1t
was formerly deep hollow. and q street
has been gradually made by heaping
earth, etc. Mr.. Wolfe thought it might be
we'll to have 1t graded first. but in the end
the board decided to put in one length of
old pianking.
Merchants on Commercial street, be-
tween Yesler avenue and Main street,
complained of the condition OF the street.
The street commissioner was directed to
make necessary repairs.
1t was decided to rent . hfty-light cleo
trio light plant at Lake Washington
pumping station at $50 month.
Chief Hunt recommended placing sew
eral hydrants, and the water department.
recommended that they be put in at a cost
of 500. The board will make further in-
Quiry.
The council will be asked to authorize
call for bids for a number Of different

ssoHoMrsH, April H.-[Speciai.1 Work
Is now rapidly in progress on the new
Great Northern depot at this place. The
structure is a smaller and much cheaper
building than our citizens generally ex-
pected the company TO put up.
Two years ago, when the company first
began securing the right-of-way through
the city. IL asked for a bonus of So, 900,
which the citizens agreed to raise. At the
final contamination of the matter however
one or two citizens refused TO come up to
their agreement, SO that altogether the
railroad company received some 81, 300.
The deficiency is mostly charged against
the land most benefited by the road. and
which adjoins the depot grounds. Mayor
Ferguson was the largest subscriber in the
city.
The Great Northern has a force now
busy raising the grade on the line between
this city and Fern Bluff. The roadbed
was found to be four feet below high
water mark during last winters freshet.
% that 1t has to be raised that much.
A frequent sight during the last week
was the arrival of freight cars from over
the summit, covered with snow to the ex-
tent Of three or four feet. II is. estimated
