TRAINMEN ASSAULTED.
Refusal of Passengers to Pay Fare
Leads to Fight.


Chicago, July 13.-The conductor aud
engineer of a wisconsin Central suburban
train, which left the downtown station at
l O'Clock yesterday afternoon, had saw
age fight with six men uear Harlem sta
tion, in which the two trainmen were In,
jured.
Six men, who got on just outside Of CHI
cago, refused to pay their fare, and in their
argument with the conductor retreated TO
the front platform of the first car, where
they made stand. Three of the men got
off the train, but the others got on the ten
der, and when Conductor Cole attempted
to follow them, they hit him over the head
with a coupling pin, rendering him in
sensible.
Engineer William King, who came to
Coles aid, was set upon and badly bruised
by the three toughs. The men were kept
ON the train, however, until the next sta
ton, where they were placed under ar
rest. Their names are George Letters,
Frank O'Hearn and George Mason.
When Conductor Cole recovered he found
he was minus Sal, which he had in his
vest pocket, but whether he lost the money
in the scuffle or the men robbed him he
Is unable to say.

FAKIRS EXPOSED.

Interesting Discovery Made by Watch
men in a Vienna Museum.
The so-called sleeping fakirs.r who
some months ago excited no little inter-
est In London, are reported by the Vienna
correspondent of the London Standard to
.have been unmasked in Pesth. These
iakirs had OF late been going through their
lortnlghts sleep at the Panoptcon, in the
hungarian capital performance for
which they were paid "a day. For some
time they had been under the suspicion of
being lmposto-s. In order to put the mat
ter to the test, the proprietor of the Panop-
ticon, Oh Friday evening. concealed two
men among The wax figures to watch the
fakirs when everybody else had LETT, and
the hall was closed for the night.
Presently the fakir, Bend Send Pratapa.
rose in his glass coffin and took bottle of
milk and some provisions from under his
pillow and, alter eating and drinking,
lighted a cigarette. The two watchmen
rushed up TO him and gave an alarm. The
fakir tried TO justify himself by saving
that he thought he had already completed
his fortnight's sleep. The proprietor re-
quested the police TO arrest the two iakirs
by whom he considers himself to have
been cheated. The police have not yet
.acceded to his request. but are having the
performers watched. Some of the Pesth
papers, however, think it is premature to
think of unmasking an impostor, because
the fakir in question was not put TO sleep
by Professor Fricker, who returned to Eng
land three weeks ago.

much as the savings banks.
Just before the election it was COM

ON THE EDGE OF a BOOM.

Hon. P. c. Jones of Hawaii, who was a
member of Queen Liliuokalani's last Cabi-
net, afterward Minister of Finance under
the Dole Government, and now one of the
Council of State, is at the Occidental.
Mr.. Jones went East some months ago
with the view of placing $3.O00,0O0 worth
of Government bonds at per cent inter
est. The Governm ent had been paying 6
debt, so that the new arrangement could
be made, as Eastern parties stood ready
to take the bonds.
When Mr.. Jones arrived, however. he
found such excitement over the pending
election tha nobody W ould invest in any
thing.
81 found it impossible" said he, "to &C.
complish anything whatever. 1t was use-
less to try. and as matter of fact l only
did try it with one man. Then / gave it
up. In New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia not capitalist would touch any,
thing. Massachusetts gold bonds had to
be placed in London.
"The people on the Atlantic seaboard
were boarding gold. There was such
stringency that no one would listen to
anything.
But now that the National election is
over, it is a different thing, and | am
assured that the bonds will be taken soon.
My own opinion is now that we are on
the edge of great boom. Large orders
were given to manufacturers conditional
On The election of Mr.. Mckinley, and
now that he is elected these orders will
be tilleu. | was in New York when the
parade of 135, 600 men occurred, in which
each man wore gold bug big enough to
be seen across the street. 1t was an i'm
posing scene.
speaking of the gold bugs reminds me
of when, some time before the election,
manufacturer went to his men and told
them that If they could think of any way
the factory could run they could 60
ahead and make all they could out of Il.
One of them thought of these gold bugs
and the men turned to and manufactured
them till they had made S25, 600. 1t was q
very lucky thing for them.
II always felt that California would
vote right in this election. l am satisfied
now that times will not only speedily be-
come prosperous, but that We shall have
such period OF prosperity as perhaps we
have not known in many years.
Mr.. Jones will sail on Tuesday on the
steamer Australia for home.

borne us out in this opinion. So long as
there was chance for Mr.. Bryan to win
people feared TO invest their funds in any
KIND OF business. That was what made
times hard.
The election took place on the Sd, and
on the 4th the people manifested the i'm
proyement in their feelings. In fact,
financial confidence returned simuIta-
neously with the returns that indicated
the election of Mckinley. As I said, on
the morning after election, the people
| began 10 come in with their deposits. on
the 9th it was better, on the 9th there was
q stu further Improvement, and to-day,
the 1th, has been the best of all.
I'VE, who were on the right side, and
all who thought as We do, expected an
improvement In the financial condition,
OF course, or we would not have exerted
ourselves as we did for NJ. Mckinley s
election, but we did not look for so sudden
ana complete a revolution in business
affairs.
The unsettled conditions that prevailed
before the election, brought on by he
lear that Mr.. Bryan might possibly be
elected, will speedily give way to better
feeling in all departments of financial
operations. This. OF course, will make
the money market easier and every branch
of business will feel the impetus of full
supply of capital for carrying on legiti-
mate commercial undertakings"
Other mem bers of the banks directorate
expressed similar opinions
President E. J. LIE Breton of the French
Savings Bank was in happy mood. II
spent Blk hard weeks working for McKin-
ley and some of the municipal nominees
whose election / considered of importance
to the community" said Mr. lie Breton.
'Well, we were successful and ought 10 be
satisfied. for one am content with the
result.
The restoration OF confidence was of
primal importance and McKinley's cleo
ton brought this about in short order.
The improved conditions are felt in every
department of business, and of course THE
savings banks are the first to notice this
change for the better"
AT the HiberDia Savings Bank and the
other savings banks Of the City where OBJ
servations were taken by reporters yester-
day 1t was noted that the depositors were
numerous, while those who were seeking
to Withdraw their funds were relatively
few.
Among the managers OF the commercial
bank like qualification is expressed on
account OF the result of the election and
the effect it has had on the business con-
ditions Of the community.
