TALK ON WALL STREET.

NEW YORK, Feb. A. 1895.-It had been
expected in Wall street early this morn
ing that announcements would be made
by the Washington authorities concern
ing the bond sale, although none was
received. 1t was denied by banking
houses concerned in the negotiations that
there was any hitch in the arrangements
for the proposed loan. What bankers
generally regarded as delay seemed to
cause little concern to houses with for
eign connections, who are supposed to
be acquainted with the situation, and
definite news from Washington was an
nounced as likely to come at some time
later in the day.
At the SubTreasury, Mr.. Jordan said
1--WE can do nothing now but await
further developments. I do not believe
that Mr.. Curtis will find It necessary to
visit the city again. He has discharged
his functions, and the whole matter prob
ably rests now in the hands of others.
The number of inquiries that we have
had about the bonds indicates that they
will be in demand when the final ar
rangements are made. The Inquiries
have come from bankers generally, in
CluulltS, VI COuiSe, the representative
men. Every one seems to have rested
upon the conviction that the loan would
be announced this morning. This con-
viction, I think, was certainly shared in
by the representative men,
Mr.. Jordan added that ne had heard
nothing at all from Washington, and had
absolutely no further knowledge about
the loan. When asked about the rumor
contained in today's Washington de-
spatches, that the bond call would prob
ably be delayed a few days in order to
give Congress opportunity to take some
action on the Springer bill, ne carefully
read the despatch. smiled as though
amused, but declined to discuss the mat
ter.

LONDON, Feb. 4, 1895-Mr. 0Goffat, the
owner of the steamer Crathie, has re-
turned to his home in Aberdeen from
Rotterdam, where he has been making
inquiries in regard to the collision of his
ship with the Elbe. MIR. Mo4fat says the
charge that the Cratnie steamed away
Immediately after the collision is untrue.
The Crathie was so seriously damaged
that it was feared she would sink. Her
captain thought the other steamer was
standing by to give the Crathie assist
ance, should she require it. The whole
of the forecastle of the Crathie was
torn away, and was hanging alongside,
threatening TO knock a hole in the side
of the vessel. A large hole had actually
been made in her bows. AS soon as the
captain got the wreckage cleared away
he steamed back to the spot where the
collision occurred, and remained there
until daylight. The last he saw of the
other ship she was burning red lights.
and he thought she had gone in the d.
rection of LONDON. The captain, Mr.. Mof-
fat says, IS convinced that he did every
thing that was possible under the circun-
stances. The captain and crew of the
Crathie are in Rotterdam pending an
official inquiry.
The irshing smack verena has arrived
at Lowestoft, having on board one Of
the steamer Elbe's mail bags and the
body of man which she picked up near
the spot where the disaster to the steam
er occurred. Around the waist of the
body, which was identified as that of
Friedrich Ernst, of Madgeburg, a tween
deck passenger, was fastened a life belt,

OOLEMAN-DRAYTON CASE.
Postponed for one week by Mutual

Consent.
The Court of Chancery was crowded
this morning, not only with the usual
body of lawyers, but outsiders, anxious
to hear the proceedings Of the famous
Coleman -Drayton divorce case.
Today was the date fixed for appear
ance, and precisely at ten o'clock Mr..
y. Coleman-Drayton, accompanied by his
counsel, Alyah A. Clarke, entered the
court room, and took seats at one of
the middle tables within the bar.
Mr.. Coleman -Drayton is a young man,
with light brown moustache and hair
carefully smoothed over his temples.
A dark suit of clothes, a heavy over
coat and black Derby composed his
attire, the sombre color only relieved by
a bunch of violets worn in the coat. He
was apparently very nervous and played
the devils tattoo on the table with his
fingers, while his counsel was conversing
with him in a whisper.
They had just taken their seats when
Counsellor r. " Lindabury, counsel for
Mrs. Coleman-Drayton, came N, and to
the intense disappointment of the one
weynaia present (the men didn't, OF
course, experience any desire to see the
daughter of the Astors), Mrs. Coleman
Drayton kept away, ana SO dld j.. Alsopp
Burroughs. That gentleman had press
ing business in the power house on Mar
ket street, Newark.
Both counsel met, and retired to con-
suit, and in a few minutes afterwards
they returned. Mr.. Clarke took his hat
and coat and with Mr.. Coleman-Dray-
ton, left the room.
ssf am going home,' he said, and not
another word would he say.
What are you going to do?' Mr..
Lindabury was asked by News" re-
porter.
4tOh, wait for another week; it won't
come up now he replied, and then re-
lapsed into a mysterious silence.
Next week Mr.. Lindabury will ask for
leave to amend his answer, and then
the Chancellor will be requested to refer
It to an advisory MASTER who will take
testimony in camera.

between George Joerns, Mrs. Elise Joerns
and Louis Stein, characterized by Vice
Chancellor Pitney as the most disagree
able case which ever came before a
Judge, and which leaves bad taste in

Chancellor this morning in a curious
way.
Counsellor Leon Albeit told the Court
that .Joerns had received 1852 from Stein
to settle two suits against him in the
Circuit Court, but now he, Joerns, finds
that the divorce suit has been dropped
He contended that the release DID not
affect the divorce proceedings at all,
while Counsellors Vredenberg and Bes-
son, for Mrs. Joerns and Stein. main
tanned it did. The Vice Chancellor de-
csded that the discontinuance should re-
main If Mrs. Joerns would drop thee1E-
mony suit against her husband.
This will be done, and JoernS will then
begin new suit against his wife, nam

taste of the disagreeable case will once
more be felt in the Court of Chancery
