Select Audience. in Carruthers' Hall
Last night Carruthers' Hall was crowd
ed with ladies and gentlemen who assem-
bled to listen to Professor Tyndall, the
world famed mystic. and to watch his
wonderful feats of mind reading and
clairvoyance The nature of the tests
differed materially from those shown at
the private reception on the previous
evening, and many of them were far
more difficult The committee OF inves-
tigation who occupied seats on the stage
consisted of Messrs. John II. Smith, Dr.
NJ. NJ Walker, f. G. Rogers, C. r. Hlg-
gins, w, L. Robb. and r. B. Mays Mr..
Tyndall is nothing II not peculiar. and
one of his odd mental tests displayed
itself last night when dozens of people
were turned away because they were un-
fortunate enough not to arrive on time
He will not allow his performances TO be
interrupted.
One of the most prominent features OF
the evenings mysterious and wonderful
occurrences was a clairvoyant test In
which the professor selected without hes
itation the names OF a dead person from
among the names of about twenty living
ones announcing the moment that the
paper touched his forehead that the
words written on 1t were President
Abraham Lincoln"
Space will not permit the extended no
tice that the entertainment deserves.

The Stock Market Opened
Higher This Morning.
$25,OOO,OO0 of Gold Will
Arrive Within 80 Days.
Rumored That Gould Has Sold His
Missouri Pacific Stocks.

The first 1nstalment OF foreign gold
coming this way will arrive tomorrow
and before the next 80 days have passed
it is more than probable that the tiow
OF the yellow metal will aggregate
25 millions. or this at least five millions
will go to San Francisco.
The bears threaten to renew their
hostilities and probably will select West
ern Union, Manhattan Elevated, Chicago
Burlington d Quincy and Tobacco as
their targets. 1t is potent to all observers
that liquidation has run its course,
and unless something really lameEta BILE
TO be remunerative Trading will be
restricted, both in volume and fiuctua-
tions, but conservative policy suggests
that advantage be taken or any raids
made Dy the bears and which will prob
ably be directed as above stated to buy
not only the specialities mentioned, but
likewise New York Central IN order that
these may be sold back to the shorts on
subsequent bulges OF one to one and one
half per cent. The bear influence to be
used in Tobacco may have been caused by
the Leggett and Meyers who have made
further big cut in plug tobacco. A new
company with i've millions capital has
been formed to compete with the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company in Africa, Japan
and Australia.
The Gould party will be back next
week. There is story TO the effect that
George Gould has sold out all the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Manhattan left by his
father. AS far as Missouri Pacific Is
concerned, there is reason to know that
the Goulds own less stock and bonds
than at any previous time, but transfer
books of the Manhattan Elevated and
Western Union show there has been no
disturbance as far as the Sage-Gould-
Marqueand contingents are concerned.
The directors OF both companies will
meet today.
Chicago houses are still worried over
the developments OF Diamond Match
and New York Biscuit companies.
The report of the Liverpool Cotton

WALL STREET, II a. m.-Since the
opening further developments were made
toward higher plane jE most shares
with decided inquiry for some of the iu-
oustrial properties, particularly Tobacco,
which advanced ia per cent. to 75l2.
Purchases are being made with a greater
show of confidence than for long time
past owing ~ the clearer aspect OF the
financial question. The Sterling Ex-
change market continues to reflect the
liberal offerings OF commercial bills and
concessions are noted in actual rates with
