CLOSING PRICES OF CHICAGO STOCKS.
NEw-YORK CENTRAL's SHOWING.

Friday. June 22-p. m.
The directors Of the New-York Central and
Hudson River Railroad Company at a regular
meeting to-day. declared the usual quarterly
dividend OF IA per cent payable on July 10. The
statement for the quarter June being partly
estimated) shows a deficit of S72S. 900. Compared
with the same quarter last year gross earnings
fell off nearly s2O 900 in spite of an increase
in mileage, and the percentage Of operating ex-
penses to gross earnings was increased from
6S 95 to 69.7l First charges and dividend re-
quirements were larger. Of course. in consequence
of acquisitions in the year. The deficit COM
pares with a surplus Of $50 267 in the correspond
ing quarter a year ago and a deficit OF Sl60,6l2
In the preceding year. In the circumstances, the
policy of the directors in declaring the regular
dividend in the face OF substantial deficiency
in revenues must be greatly commended. Their
hope that the business Of the next six months
will repair recent losses is probably well grounded.
while a reduction in the dividend rate would
have had an unhappy influence on a specula-
tive situation already somewhat strained. More
over the statement for the twelve months
shows that the company earned AZ per cent on
the stock in spite of the deficit in the current
quarter Appended is the company's statement
for the quarter and the year:

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

The stock market was depressed throughout
the day. and generally in the railway list there was
only slight recovery. Stocks which nave an
international market were the most active and
the weakest, but Missouri Pacific lost as much
as Atchison. and Western Union as much as
Louisville and Nashville. The downward move
ment was, in fact. surprisingly uniform. although
among the industrial stocks American Sugar Re
fning and Chicago Gas were strong and virtually
the only exceptions In recording final gains. In
both the afternoon buying was attributed TO the
short interest, Sugar Refining closed l3s and
Chicago Gas X per cent higher. although last
prices were not the best. In the general list
final declines nearly per cent. on an aver
age. and the closing weak In tone well as
in figures.
The European selling may have been partly ar
tificial or professional but on the surface II did
not have that appearance It's character will
quickly be established and II some OF the selling
orders originated in New-YOrk the fact cannot
long be concealed more potential influence
than the foreign selling was the Unexpectedly
large export Of gold 10 Europe Shipments for
the day amounted 10 81. 800 000 and for the week
10 S7750o00 This withdrawal Of foreign capl-
tai undoubtedly has been accelerated by the
serious embarrassment Of the Federal Treasury
and by the indifference and possibly the incompe-
tency Of its chief officers. II Is not surprising
that the city banks show much reluctance to as
sist the Department when Il is under such
management.

SPURIOUS SILVER.
OF LATE, IDAHO HAS BEEN
FLOODED WITH 1T.
Two Men Arrested, and the Officers
Believe That in One of Them They
Have n Veteran Crook.

Boise City, Ida, Dec. 12.-[Special] j
Marion Myers and George Wheeler, who
live on farm near Caldwell, were to-
day arrested by United States officers
on a charge of counterfeiting.
Caldwell parties made the complaint,
some time ago, that Myers and Wheeler
were passing numbers Of spurious sill
yer coins and watch was set on them.
The officers swooped down upon them
today, but failed to discover the out
fit They expect, however, to unearth
the dies before the men have a hearing.
Large quantities of bogus silver
quarters, halves and dollars have been
circulated all over this part of the
Estate for some time, and it is believed
they have all been made on Myers
farm.
The theory of officers is that Wheeler
who only came to Idaho a few months
ago, is q veteran counterfeiter. He has
the look of an all-round crook, which
even his rustic disguise fails to con-
ceal 1t is thought he secured silver al
surrounding mining camps and, seeking
the seclusion of Myers farm, ground
out quantities of bogus stuff, depending
upon his farmer guise and his connec-
ton with Myers, an old timer. to enable
| him to pass it without arousing sus.
lpicion.
The officers think they have made 6
highly important capture in scoopine
| in Wheeler. Descriptions of counter
letters wanted by the government will
be sent here for the purpose of ascer
| tanning if any of them will fit Wheeler

Washington, D. c., Dec. 12.-[special.1
Mr.. Rawlins, who has been working
for some time to get a mint established
in Salt Lake, appeared before the House
committee on coinage, weights and
measures today and argued on the
matter.
The committee is inclined to favor
the proposition, and if they cannot see
their way clear to give mint they will,
in all probability, report favorably on
the establishment of an assay office.
Should this report be made, there can
be but little doubt regarding favorable
action in the House, and then the only
question would be the ability to have
the Senate take the matter up in pre-
ference to something else.

HIDEOUS CRUELTY.
INSANE ASYLUM SCANDAL AT VIC
ToRLA, u. C.
Doctors and Attendants Who should
Be Behind Prison Bars, if the
Stories Told Be True.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 12.-The report
of the special commissioners, DR.. New
comb and DR.. Hazel, into the insane
asylum scandal presented to the leg
islature, cites many specific instances
of cruelty and neglect to patients. The
treatment of inmates is described by
the commission as barbaric The re-
port gives in detail the hideous cruelty
particularly with the use of the dip, -
in which a patient was handcuffed
with his hands behind him. his feet be-
ing usually linked together by anklers
and then, when helpless, he was
plunged in cold water and held under
until n pc il of suffocation. This
"ducking" of patient was repeated
until he was sufficiently broken in.
This cod dip the commission found to
have been inflicted for the simplest
offenses, such as talking at night and
similar trivial causes. AS result of
the inquiry the asylum management
will be thoroughly reorganized.
A secon rep TT of the commission
contains a catalogue and description
of the various instruments of torture
which have been used almost daily in
this nineteenth century institution, and
which Superintendent Bently and his
assistants refer to as mechanical re-
straints." These include handouts,
rou,h steel anklets, PM n straps,
spike-studded steel mitts. and other
contrivances.
"Of the necessity for this formidable
array of implements, the like of which
we have never before seen, except in
museums as relics of the past and bar
barrie ages" says the report, I'VE are
unable to obtain satisfactory evidence,
at all events remedial agents The
leather mitts, which are classed among
the least Objectionable portions of the
| instruments, are ingerless gloves OF
stout, hard leather, with a metal eye
on the inside of the wrist, through
| which a strap is passed and buckled
around the waist. The chief use of the
mitt is in connection with the straight
jacket. The use of the mitts causes
the hands to swell, burn, and frequent
| ly to blister Sometimes suppuratiou
follows, and we saw three cases in
which fingers were permanently
SCARED in this way. One patient hat
thus been deprived of the use of botf
hands for life. His left hand, by the
prolonged use of the mitts, became VIC
lently inflamed; the arms swelled vi
to the elbow, and suppuration set in
assesses formed and permanent con
traction of the fingers has resulted"

sailing vessel went to pieces on the
rocks at Netarts, about q mile south
OF Cape Mears lighthouse. on Sunday
night The particulars obtained are
very nleagre. though pieces OF the
wrecked vessel are strewn along the
beach for several miles. A piece OF
the stern was marked Garcia, San
Francisco
The life boats came ashore. but were
crushed to pieces. The masts and keel
also a sailors hat. were found on the
beach. No bodies have come ashore
yet and nothing that could show what
her cargo was.
Sunday night was very stormy and
the breakers were rolling high. No
one saw the boat or knew just when
she was wrecked, and no signal lights
or guns were noticed by the inhab-
itants near the beach, but from the
enormous amount of wreckage, 1t is
certain that boat went to pieces
there Sunday night 1t is thought
from appearances that the vessel
struck on one Of the Sea Lion rocks
about a mile from shore.
San Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE schooner
Garcia left here last Sunday in ballast
to load lumber at Coos Bay. She was
of 116 tons burden and was command
ed by Captain Larsen. She carried a
crew of four or five men, whose names
are unknown. There is little doubt
! but that the wreclSage found off Tilla-
, NOOK belonged to her.
