BRADsTREETys REVIEW.
Finances strengthening as the
Result of Bond Sales.

Finances strengthening as the
Result of Bond Sales.
NEW YORK, March 1.-Bradstreet'
financial report of tomorrow will say:
In a speculative sense, the week has
been a disappointment. The success
Of the bond issue did not arouse any
outside interest in the markets either
here or in London, and the rapid rise
of exchange rates created fear of gold
exports, which, though unfounded,
tended to create a bearish feel
ing. The passing of the divi-
dend on Canadian Pacific had it's
influence, and activity during the early
part of the week was almost entirely
at the expense of values. 1t was not
until Friday that the increase of the
short interest brought about a rally
and strengthened the market, which
was also somewhat affected by the
absence of the expected gold shipment
and by the approaching adjournment
of congress.
The closing of the subscription for
the new 4 per cent government loan
with applications on this side Of the
ocean for about $2O0,000,G00, and the fact
that bidders received only small
proportion of the amounts asked for
has of course been one of the chief
matters of interest. It's effect on the
market has, however, been neutral
lied by the unexpected strength of ex-
change and probability that gold
might be taken from the treasury and
shipped abroad even before the Syndi-
cate had carried out it's bargains. The
exchange was certainly nervous and
strong, with rates at a level which
would allow of gold exports. At the
same time it is evident that the syndi-
cate controls the situation, and that,
while it cannot prevent rates from
rising, it is able for some time to come
to check shipments of specie.
i London was not only disturbed by
the action of exchange here, but took
the passing of the Canadian Pacific
dividend as another reflection on
American railway securities. This, of
course, was unjust, as the stock has
never been a favorite here. London,
however, was a seller of its spcialties,
and of Louisville & Nashville in par
ticular.-
sBearish pressure was again shown
in Northwest, while New York Cen

ury stock had been marketed. A drive
at Missouri Pacific was accompanied
by rumors of receivership, but the fact
developed that Messrs Gould and Sage,

Chicago Times-HeraId Makes It's
Appearance Monday.


CHICAGO, March 1.-The Times
Herald will be published Monday morn
ing, the 4th inst. with James w. Scott
as editor-in-chief and publisher, and
Henry w. Hawley, as managing editor.
This is the result of the consolidation
of the two papers.
The Times was started in 1854 by
Isaac Cook, James w. Sheahan and
Daniel Cameron, Democrats. In 1860
it absorbed the original Chicago Her.
aid and the late Cyrus H. Mccormick
obtained control. Wilbur F. Stowery
secured it in June 1861, and during the
war the paper had an eventful his
tory, being suppressed once by Gen.
Burnside for reasonable utterances.
Like all the other Chicago papers, the
Times was burned out in 1871, but
within a week made it's appearance
again. After MIR. Storey's death the
Times was the subject of much liti-
cation and when various suits were
settled the late Carter H. Harrison
bought it. His two sons conducted
it for time, but lost control through
the sale by the other heirs of their
stock to Adolph Kraus. A short time
afterward Henry w. Hawley acquired
the interest of the Harrison brothers.
Mr.. Hawley was a successful news
paper proprietor, having been at one
time on the Minneapolis Journal, and
part owner of the Denver Times.
The Herald was organized in May,
1881. The owners were James w.
Scott, Frank w. Palmer, A M. Jones
and Daniel Shepard. It was "stal-
wart Republican," and Mr.. Palmer,
editor in-chicf. there was reo~gan-
1zation in 1888, all except Mr. Scott sell
ing their stock to John r. Walsh, the
banker. The paper became Demo-
cratic. Recently Mr.. Scott acquired
the interest of Mr.. Walsh and brought
about the consolidation with the
Times. The Times-Herald will be the
only Democratic morning paper in
Chicago. The exact mount of money
involved is not known Che Evening
Post being included in the sale to Mr..
Scott, but it is said to be about
S2OOO,GOO, which would make the deal
the largest relating to newspaper
property in the history of the country.

CASH FOR YOUNG FAIR.
One of His VIII Fights AmfcabIy
Settled,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-Charles
L. Fair has received $500, 900 bequeathed
by his mother to the eldest son, James
G. Fair Jr., when the latter should at
tain the age of thirty-five. After con-
siderable litigation, the supreme court
decided that the legacy which reverted
by Mrs. Fairs will should not be paid
to him until James would have been
thirty-five had he lived. During the
litigation, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, the
eldest daughter, attained the years for
the payment to her of 81 500, eco, ac-
cording to the will of her mother. The
contest of Charles stopped the paw
ment to her, and, incidentally, even
the payment to Charles of the income
OF 100000 from the estate The mat
ter has been arranged by Mrs. Oelrich
advancing to her brother the $500. 600.
Several efforts have been lately made
to compromise on the will of Senator
Fair. The conclusion is. however. that
Senator Fairs daughters will not
place themselves in any attitude that
m1e.ht brins. upon them the application
of the dreaded forfeiture clause in
their fathers will, which Charles Fair
braves by his formal contest.

OUT OF A MADHOUSE.
Actress Grace Vaughn Escapes
Her Insanity Questioned.

CLEVELAND, O., March Act
ress Grace Vaughn, known in pri-
vate life as Mrs. Andrew Jennings,
who was for some time connected
with the Seabrooke company, and
who later went insane, yesterday
escaped from the Northern Ohio in
sane asylum, in which institution
she had been confined since August
last. B. Hollingsworth, of Chicago,
a brother of Miss Vaughn, came
here to begin habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in order to secure the re-
lease of his sister, claiming that she
was in her right mind and was de-
tanned against her will. The fact
was then developed that Miss
Vaughn had escaped from the asy-
lum. 1t was thought she had gone
to Chicago. Later a telegram was
received at that city saying she had
arrived there safely.
DR.. Eyman, of the asylum, saws
that she is quite insane and has foy
some time been confined in the sui
cldal ward, as she had on several
occasions attempted to take her own
life. DR.. Eyman further stated that
young Hollingsworth had called sew
eral times to see his sister, and as
his visits had invariably resulted in
leaving Miss Vaughn in highly
excited condition he had refused to
permit him to see the girl on his last
call. Grace Vaughn is the daugh-
ter-in-law of DR.. Jennings, Of this
city. To a reporter who saw him
today young Hollingsworth said: SCI
