sengers ran as il Satan were after them.
Nobody thought of walking, and the gravity
OF the situation was aceentuated by the
pale. anxious faces of the struggling brok-
erS.
An official in the First National Bank
says so far as lie is able to learn none of
the New York banks is in trouble or Is
likely TO be. Ii it should become necessary
the Clearing house banks will unite in sus-
tanning aay weak member, but there is
nothing at present to indicate that such
action will be necessary. He said he thought
we had seen the worst of the trouble for the
present. Reports that the St. Nicholas
Bank Is in difficulty are emphatically denied
at the bank.
Henry Clews voiced the feelings of the
more conservative Wall-street men when he
said to-day: There are times when big
mems souls as well as their pockets are
tried. III the latter are well filed however,
together with clear head and the oppor-
tunties afforded for quick movements in
the market it would lie good policy 10 buy
good stocks hereafter on pronounced breaks
for fair profits, which the succeeding rallies
are sure to bring. 1t must be remembered
that prices are now fully as low on an
average as those in the Barring panic Of 1890.
That was a worlds panic. while this is but
a local one. or at any rate one confined with

squalls come periodically. and after we get

experience of the past and the present up-

William Shearer. manager of the Clear

the present depression in the market as the
effect OF the so-caled Sherman bill. with
the accompanying idea that the United States
Treasury cannot pay out gold below the

All That Saved the Lake Erie and
Western EXPRESS

LIMA. Ohio. May Am attempt was
made last night TO wreck the weslbound
express on the Lake Erie and Western road.
There was heavy shipment of money on
the train, and that was what the wreckers
were after. At the foot OF a grade, about
three-quarters of a mile west of Paxton,
ILL.,, and near a curve, an obstruction of
ties spiked together was placed across the
track. The robbers lay in ambush, but the
express train was behind time, and the
right of way was given to the second-class
passenger train. This train came against
the obstruction, and the engine and two
coaches were ditched. No one was injured,
but great excitement prevailed.
A heavy freight train followed the accom-
mediation closely, ana a fagman started
back 10 stop it, when he was suddenly con-
fronted by a highwayman with revolvers
and compelled 10 return to the wreck The
brakeman notified the train crew. who
started in n body and were not molested.
After stopping the freight alarms were
sent over the wire to both Paxton and
Peoria. Great excitement prevailed at both
places and posse was promptly organized
for the purpose OF securing the surrounding
country in search of the fugtives, but with

PADEREWSKI IS WILD.
In a State Bordering Closely on
Insanity. &,
He Has Nervous Hysteria and Swears
That lie viii Not Play the
Piano.


New York, May 4. - The hundreds of
persons who have counted on hearing
Paderewski at Pamer's Theater on Friday
afternoon. where he was 10 play for Tie
actors fund benefit, are probably doomed
TO be disappointed. The great piano
player has broken down under the strain
to which he has been subjected of late. His
nerves are unstrung and his whole system
wrought up to such pitch that ne is uuabia
to control his actions save by the greatest
effort He came to New York last night
from Chicago, shut himself in his room at
the Windsor and refused to see any one.
This is what he said about playing at the
benefit this afternoon:
TN shoot myself before I'll play to-
morrow. Tell them to take all the money
I've got; but | won't play"
The performer was in state bordering
on nervous hysteria, and, while he talked
coherently, it was evident that the great ex-
citement was telling upon his mental facul-
ties in degree.
After he arrived at the hotel he refused
food or quietiug drinks and simply ordered
people out of his presence.
He sat down for minute or two then
jumped up and walked about the room, sat
down again, and kept moving about like a
person wholly unnerved. For fortnight OF
more the great performer has been showing
signs of the effect Of excitement upon him.
He has been almost constantly playing on
the piano for some time.
AT the performance on last Saturday at
the Music Hall in this city there was q most
remarkable scene. The hall was packed,
two-thirds of them being women. FROM
the start it was evident that about every
body In the house was laboring under great
excitement. Tie applause became tremeu-
dous, and toward the close of the programme
the people broke into cheers.
The women called him out three times,
besieged him iu his room and on the side
walk. and he was several times on tila
point of fainting under excitement. Then
his trouble in Chicago has worried him, and
now he talks as though life was not worth
living.

The Peril of Pawning Diamonds in a
Great City,

BROOKLYN, May A young woman.
who within the past few days has pawned
between $500 and 5000 worth of diamonds
and jawelry in this city. was arrested To-
night in a Grand-street pawnshop. When
taken to police headquarters she said her
name was Jennie Dale and that she lived
at % Berry street. The police went to her
home and on the third floor found French
man who gave the name of Eugene Leroux
and who said that he was the wOman's hus-
band. The apartments were searched and
more than 1000 diamond rings and forty
diamond bracelets were found. a jeweler
was called to appraise the find and said that
the lot, which was of the first quality and
in his opinion of foreign manufacture, was
worth about $4,000. 1t is thought the
goods were smuggled into this country and
that the man and woman are agents of
some persons extensively engaged in snug
Cling. Leroux and the woman were locked
up. The police are still prosecuting the
investigation and expect soon to make
further arrests.

WANTS MORE WAR.
Vasquez VIII Now March Against
Nicaragua.

New YORK, May 4.-News has reached
here of the complete triumph of General
Vasquez, leader OF the Government troops,
against the revolutionists in Honduras.
Vasquez has assumed command of the Pro-
vsi0nal Government. Alter the first de-
feat sustained by the Government. when
even the capital fell into the hands of
General Bonilla, the leader of the revolu-
tionary troops, Vasquez, with great effort,
increased his army and recaptured Teguci-
galpa Now lie has completely defeated the
reVolutionsts.
Word has been received that the new
Government has been recognized by Sal
vador and Guatemala. When Vasquez was
asked what he proposed to do in regard to
Nicaragua he said that he will soon take
breakfast in Leon and dine in Managua.
During the revolution in Honduras Near
aqua openly aided Bonila, and it is more
than likely, judging from the threat made
by Vasqucz, that he will soon declare war
against Nicaragua.
