BEARS RECEIVE A CHECK.
They Were Not Prepared for the
Action of the New York Bankers.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The situation
in Wall street cleared up somewhat to-
day, and the bears, who have been ham
mering the market recently, were con-
fronted with a new condition. They
have been unusually successful since
the adjournment of the Chicago conveHl-
ton, and were indulging in all sorts Of
sensational talk about raids on the
treasury gold, and it must be admitted
that the reports had a demOralizing ef-
feet. They were not prepared for MI
Tappan's action, however, and to-day.
when it was stated that the banks had
fallen in with MIR. Tappan's idea, and
would contribute $10,000,000 or so of
the metal, confidence was restored in
measure, mad a good proportion of the
paper profits of the shorts was wiped
out.
The gold to be turned into the sub
treasury will bring the reserve UP to
500, 900, 900, and according to authori-
ties it will be kept there, if the banks
can bring it about.
Another important question, that Of
checking gold exports, is being dis
cussed in Wali-street circles. AS yet
the matter is in embryo. Some of those
interested are in favor of advancing
rates of money, but against this it is
argued that if the rates should stiffen
funds would pile higher, and defeat the
very object the bankers are trying to
obtain.

MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.
The Captain, His Wife and the Sec
ond riate Killed.

HALIFAX On. 81. July 21.-Quite a
sensation was caused here to-day by
the arrival of the American ship Her
few days ago bound for Rosario AS
soon as the vessel came into the harbor
it was seen that something was wrong
on board The proper sails were not
set and the crew acted very strangely
News soon reached the shore from the
ship that the bodies of three murdered
people were on board. The proper Off
Gals were notified and an investigation
promptly made. The officers of the law
were Mortified to find that the mur-
dered persons were Captain Nash, his
wife and Second Mate Brunberg
No one on board would give any infor-
nation as to how the murders occurred
or who was responsible for them. The
only thing they could find out definitely
18th. At that time there We're seven
men on the ship besides a passenger
named Monck.
None of the men would talk. 1t is be-
lieved that an outbreak took place
among the men and that Second Mate
Brunberg attempted to stop it. The
sailors resented his interference and
killed him. Captain Nash took a hand
i'll the mates behalf and was also killed
III the presence of his wife, who was
afterward murdered in order that she
might tell no tales.
There was plenty of liquor on board
The record-union., 1896-07-22

and it is believed The crew had been
drunk for several days.
1t is hoped that some more light will
be thrown on the tragedy in a few days,
when the men get sober enough to ap-
preciate the awful position they are in.
1t Is probable that the bloody work may
have been done by some one or two men,
While the others are shielding them.
All OF the people on the vessel were
promptly thrown into prison. 1t is ex-
pected that some of them win tell the
details of the killing before many days
have passed.
Monck, who is a Harvard student, and
said to be the son of prominent Bos-
tonian, tells queer story. He says dur
ing the night he heard a scream. but
paid no attention to it. In the morning
when he went on deck the first mate in
formed him that the Captain and his
wife and the second mate had been mur-
dered during the night, but he did not
say why or by whom. The murders
were not committed without noise. for
the fiendish killing was accomplished
with an axe, and the victims were
butchered in a most sickening manner.
Monck says he assumed charge of the
VESSEL anu Win the cSSiSldiiCe VI INC
first mate brought her to this port. He
questioned the various members of the
crew as to what they knew about the
tragedy, but each one professed ignor-
ance and innocence Monck ordered the
bodies taken out of the cabin and placed
i'll a boat and towed astern, which was
done. On arriving here the vessel came
to anchor in the stream, and Monck re-
i &C Al. I'M
mediately took charge of the vessel and
placed officers on board, and took all
members of the crew into custody.
1t is believed the motive for the crime
was robbery, as the Captain and Monck
had considerable money with them The
seaman who was at the wheel at the
time saw through a pane of glass IN the
cabin the Captain being struck with an
axe or something. He gave the police
the name of the party who held the
weapon. They are keeping it quiet.

Arrival.

OMAHA, July 21.-William ]. Bryan
was given a rousing reception by
Omaha people tonight. | He left Lin
coin at 6:05 o'clock over the Burlington,
and reached Omaha just before s
O'Clock. after a trip without incident. At
the Union station here 1000 persons
were assembled, and as the train came
to a standstill and the nominee stepped
from>the train the crowd let itself loose
and cheered him to the echo
Mr. Bryan was escorted through the
packed masses of humanity to an open
carriage drawn by four horses and
seated in this beside Mr. Broach, Chair
man of the Reception Committee, and
was driven through the streets to the
place where the formal reception oc-
Cured. A military band headed the
procession. and following Mr. Bryans
carriage came several tally-ho coaches
and other vehicles crowded with young
men blowing tin horns of all sizes and
of all degrees of inharmonious ability.
A great many people were lined along
the streets where the procession passed.
and these We're not backward in cheer
ing for the nominee.
The reception given Mr. Bryan at
the speakers stand was full of enthu-
siasm. Between 1000 and 5000 people
had gathered there awaiting his appear
ance. They crowded the connecting
streets, north, south, east and west.
packed solidIy together. and many were
framed in the windows Of the neighbor-
ing buildings.
The cheering was continuous from the
time Mr.. Bryan's carriage reached the
outskirts of the assemblage until after
he had taken his seat on the platform
Judge Doane, a prominent Democrat
opened the proceedings in a little speech
complimentary of Mr.. Bryan
Mayor Broach, who is a Republican,
followed with brief remarks introdue-
ing Mr.. Bryan. He said the meeting
was non-partisan, and managed to tell

Threats of the Little Ones Cut From
Ear to Ear.
Caused at Halifax by the
Arrival of an American Ship From
Boston With the Bodies of Three
Murdered People On Board, the
Captain, His Wife and the Second
Mate.
Mate.

ATTICA (Mich.), July 21-The most
horrible tragedy ever enacted in this
part of the State of Michigan took place
near this town this morning, when a
crazy man killed three of his children
and then took his own life
About 3 o'clock this morning the dis
covery was made that the house of
German Swain, farmer living not far
from the outskirts of town, was on fire.
Neighbors were soon on the scene, and
did what they could to save the house.
When the flames were sufficiently
subdued to allow an investigation a
horrible discovery was made. 1t was
found that the fire was the last act of a
dreadful tragedy.
The first thing the searchers discov-
cred was the body of Swain lying on
the floor In the hand was still grasped
revolver, while a bullet hole in the
breast directly over the heart showed
the manner of the mans s death Pow
der stains on the clothing left no doubt
that death was the result of suicide.
Further on were found the bodies of
Swain's youngest three children, all
dead and with their thrOats cut from
ear to ear. A butcher knife all stained
with blood, lay near the bodies of the
little victims.
There can be no doubt that Swain
killed his children and then shot him
self He had been acting queerly for
some time, and was undoubtedly in
sane at the time he committed the deed.
II is evident from the indications in the
house that he arose early this morn
ing and butchered the children while
they lay asleep. He cut their throats
with the butcher knife and then when
sure of their death set fire to the house
and shot himself through the heart
The dead children are Frank, aged II
Lucy, aged 8, and Jimmie, aged T.
Three older children had gone to a
neighbor's house, where they staying
all night, and it is to this that they owe
their lives
The record-union., 1896-07-22
Then Mr. Bryan appeared, and the
nblaca

Then Mr.. Bryan appeared, and the
cheering was renewed. Mr.. Bryan said
in part:
Il need not say to you that am deep
ly touched by the manifestations of
good will which have been exhibited
here and elsewhere since the nomina-
ton fell to me. / understand that this
is not altogether personal feeling, but
it testifies as we'll to this one great fact.
that among the American people, with
out regard to party or creed, there is a
love for American institutions and a re-
spect for those who for the time being
stand as the representatives of the peO
pie. (Cheers) l appreciate the fact
that am candidate before the Amer
lean people for the highest position in
its power to bestow. / am impressed by
the sense of the responsibility and | am
supported by the consciousness that If
elected I shall have the support of
10,000,0OO of people. Great applause)
This is not a partisan occasion. The
Mayor of your city is a Republican. l
see before me Republicans, Prohibition
lists, Populists as we'll as Democrats,
and l can bespeak you, my friends,
without regard to party, testify that in
every contest through which / have
passed / have conceded to my oppo
nents the same honesty of purpose that
/ have demanded that you should ad-
nit for yourself. Great cheering)
And so in this great and memorable
campaign on which we are entering for
you people any complimentary terms
that you may use toward myself l say
no ho ho
cam use toward me I can repeat of my
opponent, Major Mckinley. (Applause.)
If you tell me that l honestly indorse the
sentiments written in the platform upon
which | stand, l tell you that 1 know
that you who oppose me are just as
sincere in your desire for good govern
ment. We are not dismayed by the use
of abuse, because we know that the
great majority Of Republicans and Pop
ulfsts as we'll as Democrats regard the
use of abusive terms as an indication
that argument is feared. cloud cheers.)
We are going out in this campaign vie
ing with each other in the enthusiasm
with which we support our respective
views, and the campaign shall be deter
mined by the sober sense of the Amer
lean people, and they shall register their
verdict in favor of that policy which
they believe will be best for the Ameri-
can people"
AT the conclusion of the speech Mr..
Bryan stepped down from the platform
and shook hands with the many hun
dreds of people who pressed forward.
This reception over, he went to his no.
tel Tomorrow Mr.. Bryan will go to
Council Bluffs, across the river from
Omaha, and after making an address
there will return to Lincoln.

Lincoln to-day and had a conference
with Mr.. Bryan. He told a, United Press
reporter that he knew the Democratic

sure him of support. Mr.. Hartman was
one of the silver Republicans who bolted
the st. Louis convention. He worked
for Teller at the Democratic convention,
but says he will work as hard to elect
