THE YOUNG NAPOLEON OF FINANCE
From a Salary of Seven Dollars Week to
the Manipulation of Millions.

New York, April lS.-The death of Henry
S. Ives in Asheville, N. c., of consumption,
was announced here this morning. Ives was
better known in Wall street as the young
Napoleon of Finance His meteoric career
in the street in 1887, when he tried to wreck
the Cinncinnati, Hamilton and Dayton rail
road, and his previous shady transactions
are well known. In 1881 Ives was clerk in
the office of Dauchy & Co., advertising
agents in Park Place, at a salary of 81 a
week. The next heard of him was when, in
1884, he hired desk room in various brokers'
offices. In February, 1886, Ives, George Il.
Staynor and Thomas G. Doremus composed
the firm of Henry S. Ives Co., ''bankers,"
at No. 25 Nassau street. In the early
months of that year the deal to milk the
Dayton road was planned by Ives, and at
an election of the road On June Is, 1856
Stayner was elected president, Ives was
made vice president and the post of secre-
tary and treasurer was given to a young
man, E. Wilson Woodruff, a clerk in the
employ of the firm, who had sat at the next
desk to Ives when they were clerks together
in the advertising office.
1t was charged that Ives and Stayner at
once began to deplete the $2,O00,O00 surplus
fund of the road. On August IL, 1887, the
firm failed. When the news of the failure
was announced at the Stock Exchange it
was hailed with joy, for the firm had no real
friends in the street. The books of the firm
soon after mysteriously disappeared. On
August 9, Ives and Stayner resigned their
places as the two chief executive officers of
the c., Fl. and D. road. The Tribune, on
August 80, 1887, printed the text of their
deal with Robert Garrett, generally known
as the Baltimore and Ohio deal. Julius

army formed on the delta and marched
through the campus and about town to the
strains of the Phi Chi, cheering Bill Field,
Selectman Crawford and others. Returning
to the campus the army was reinforced by
body of students styled the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Students, and
called upon President Hyde. The president
would not address the army, although he
was repeatedly cheered. This evening the
same organizations, reinforced by large
body of ''Yaggers'' repeated the mornings S

Sunk the Aquidaban.

Rio Janeiro, April 1S.-Official dispatches
received here yesterday from Desterro,
where the rebels set up their provisional
government, assert that Admiral Mellos
former flagship was sunk at daybreak this
morning by one of President Piexoto's tor
pedo boats, the Gustavo Sampaio, formerly
called the Aurora.
The Sampaio accomplished this result
with three Whitehead torpedoes. President
Peixoto's feet made d concerted attack
upon Desterro, and the insurgent forces
theer at first offered stout resistance with
their land batteries and the guns of the
Aquidaban. But after the Sampaio had sent
the Aouidaban to the bottom they gave up

Detectives by the Hundred Present to
Protect Royal Lives.

Coburg, April iS.-The city was filled with
visitors and the gaily decorated streets
crowded today with people in holiday garb
in honor of the marriage of the Princess
Victoria of Coburg and Edinburg to her
cousin, the Grand Duke Ernest Louis of
Hesse. The most perfect precautionary
measures were taken against an attempt
upon the life of some members of the reign
ing families assembled here. Hundreds of
detectives of all nations mingled with the
crowds. This action was taken in conse-
quence of an intimation received by the
police some time ago that an anarchist plot
existed, the object of which was to take
the life of Emperor William and he Czare-

TWO RIOTERS WE'RE KILLED.
Fifteen Others Were Wounded and Fifty

Detroit, Mich, April 1S.--Trouble has been
brewing between the water board and the
Polish laborers engaged to lay pipe four
miles from the city over question of
wages. These men were quarrelsome yester-
day and refused to go to work or allow any
one else to do so, but no serious outbreak
occurred. This morning at seven O'Clock,
more than 500 men carrying pickaxes and
spades were patrolling the road. Four
policemen were sworn in as deputies and a
force of eighteen men were put to work. The
strikers threatened to kill the first man
who dared attempt to do any work, and
when one of the men jumped into the ditch,
he was savagely assaulted. The handful of
deputies were overpowered and the strikers
were left in possession for the time being.
The sheriff came to the scene. taking with
him half dozen deputies. After confer
ence with the water board at about noon, it
was decided to abandon the work for the
day and then the clash came. When Engi-
neer Williams attempted to withdraw his
men peacefully, the strikers became furious
and made an onslaught on one of them.
Sheriff Corliss ordered the mob to disperse,
threatening to shoot if the order was not
obeyed. The mob, however,, continued and
the sheriff ordered his posse to fire. He
fired three shots from his revolver and this
was signal for a volley from the deputies
who emptied their revolvers at the advane-
ing mob. Two strikers were shot dead and
at, least fifteen others more OF less danger
ously wounded. This had demoralizing
effect on the mob and it fell back. A large
force of police hurried to the scene and took
the wounded to the hospitals.
This afternoon and evening the deputy
sheriffs secured the Polish quarter for
rioters and by tonight fifty law breakers
were jailed. About six o'clock, groups of
Polanders gathered about the jail and made
ugly demonstrations. One was shot in the
leg by deputy sheriff and carried to the
hospital The crowdsabout the Jail continued
until midnight. The Polish quarters is all
excitement tonight.

December 13, 1887, caused the arrest of the
two conspirators, charging them with
larceny. Mr.. Dexter alleged that Ives re-
ceived draft for 100000, which was to be
used in part payment for the purchase of
the Terre Haute and Indianapolis road. 1t
was part of series of drafts to the amount
of $685., 800, which were to be used to pay for
the controlling interest in that company's
stocks. The other drafts were duly honored
to the credit of W. r. McKeen, president of
the Terre Haute road, but the one on which
the arrest was made was alleged to have
been diverted by Ives to his own use. Ives
took the ground that he should have been
sued in civil suit. He was held in S25,OO0
bail, but on his examination he was dis
charged for lack of evidence. Ives was rep
resented by the firm of Hoadly. Lauterbach
and johnson. Ives at once began suit for
100000 against Dexter for false arrest.
Four times Ives and Stayner were brought
up in civil and criminal suits on the same
charges. Ives was indicted in 1889, but after
a long trial, ending September 20, 1883, the
jury in his case disagreed and he was dis
charged.
The failure of the firm on August II, 1887,
was one Of the most sensational in the his
tory of Wall street. The assignment was
without preference and was made to VIM.
N. Cromwell. The failure was expected Tor
a long time, but no one had any idea OF the
tremendous liabilities.
Among the creditors were the following:
William Fellowes, Morgan & Co., S2,ooo,oOo'
Alfred Sully, as the representative OF the
Corbin interests, $780, 900 and personally Tor
cash advances about 100000; Russell Sage,
$3.50 600; Kessler & Co., S300,000; the Ameri-
can National Bank, $4,000 the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company, 100000 and the
Bank of the State of New York, $4,000;
First National Bank of Cincinnati, $750,0O0,
and Irving A. Evans of Boston, and others,
$3O0,0OO. The total liabilities were easily
SIS, 100000.
The greatest surprise was expressed at the
fact that firm about which Wall street
had, it was supposed the fullest knowledge,
should have been able to roll up such an
enormous Indebtedness.
