Review OF Yesterday in Brief.
London prices came In a shade lower in
the morning and the market opened
heavy in sympathy, dealings, however,
having been very much restricted owing
to interruption to telegraphic
service by the storm. During
the first dealings Sugar and Chicago Gas
were taken in hand by the bulls and ad :
vanced materially, especially in the case
OF the first named, the balance of the list
sympathizing to some extent, except for
st. Paul, which was heavy throug hout the
day. In the early afternoon Sugar moved
up further on manipulation gen.
and the shorts, but in the balance of
the list, movements were quite variable,
Western Union having been affected by
by the statement for the year ending June
3Oth showing a surplus OF only s120, 900
against 81 100000 for the previous year
In the last hour a rumor was circulated
that q moderate shipment of gold
and the list yielded moderately
with Sugar leading, this stock having lost
almost all the early gain. The closing
was heavy with some increase in point OF
activity, final prices showing fractional
gains for Sugar and Chicago Gas and
losses for st. Paul, Western Union, Man
haitian and most of the active shares.
The market was EXTREMITY limited, but
in the final dealings the tendency was
rumors of gold shipments on Sat
urday are confirmed it is likely
that the bears will push their
advantage further. The selling of
st. Paul excited considerable comment as
it was made in large blocks and by well
known commission houses. Sugar was
apuzzle to the traders and is still likely
to be an important influence in the specu-
lation of the near future.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 1.-THE big four
masted schooner Tasmania, ore laden, and
bound for this port, went ashore just east
of the east pier during heavy northwest
gale, shortly after midnight last night.
Two tugs went out to her, but owing to
the tremendous sea running, were unable
TO get line to the schooner. The vessel
was driven on the beach and the life-sav-
ing crew succeeded with much difficulty
in reaching the crew and two
daughters OF Captain Searles, who
were on board. The Tasmania
is owned by James Corrigan of this city,
and valued at about S35, 200. This morn
ing she lies well i'm on the sandy beach

END OF The STRIKE.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. lit is
stated today that the operatives as a
whole will accept the manufacturers
proposition TO GO TO work Monday morn
ing. The attitude OF the spinners is
that they accept the concession made, but
among the weavers there - some COM
plant that the manufacturers have dis
criminated in favor of the spinners.
The weavers will probably go in Monday,
however, for they have no money to pro-
long the strike without the aid OF the
Ipinners. The spinners will hold a special
meeting Friday to act on the proposition
and the wesvers will probably meet Sat-

Guilty of Murder in the Second

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Henry G. Meyer,
charged with poisoning Ludwig Brandt
to obtain insurance money, was found
guilty of murder in the second degree.
The penalty is imprisonment for life.
When DIR. Meyer was brought into
court, just before the hour of opening,
his face had become yellow with a sickly
hue. He had not seen his wife, he said.
.'She is in another department of the
prison, you know" he added in ex-
planatlon.
Shortly afterward DR.. O'Sullivan and
Mr.. Brooke, counsel for DR.. Meyer, ar
rived. Then the jury filed into court and
took their seats n the jury box. Re-
.corder Smyth entered at almost the same
moment, and Clerk Denny called out the
names of the jurymen. While this was
going on Meyer walked leisurely up to
the center of the courtroom and took his
usual seat in the midst of his counsel.
He did not exhibit any sign of having
heard that the jury had agreed on ver-

VACAvILLE, May 1S.-Compared with
yesterday, Vacaville to-day seems quiet,
indeed. In reality everything has re-
sumed it's normal condition. Such num-
bers of the army as are in this neighbor-
hood have scattered, and apparently there
is no further possibility of trouble.
Eighty-four of the raiding Industrials
are in jail at Fairfield. The ranchers have
been supplied with arms to resist any at
tack on their premises that may be made.
Last night guards were stationed at the
town bell, ready to ring out the danger
signal at moments warning, for news
had come that body of 160 Industrials
was camped about two miles from Whit
ers and might give trouble, as they were
reported to have committed some minor
depredations. The streets were deserted,
but the pedestrian at every corner might
run across citizen or rancher. and in
his hands could be seen the cleaning bar
rel OF a Winchester rife.
The citizens are determined that labor
shall not be disturbed. There are hum
dreGs of thousands of dollars at stake in
the present crops, and the packing cannot
be done by unskilled labor without bring
ing ruin to the orchardists.
DIR. Stitt stated that work had been Of
fered to fifty-fve IndustrialS last Sstur-

time not one of them showed up, all pre-
ferring to remain with Captain Woods,
