The evening times., 1898-10-08

The stock market was fairly strong this
morning, with good buying in many
stocks. Predictions of a reaction toward
better prices were, of course, made i'm
mediately by the few bulls left in the
market. but there was very little bullish
sentiment about. The talk is still of
sluggishness and weakness from now un-
I'll election, with the possibility of
considerable slump then if the Democrats
win the control of the House. Wall
Street is afraid of Democratic success.
II is argued that if there is to be success
for the Democrats and a change in the
complexion OF the House, il will mean
almost necessarily a revival of ''silver
agitatiOn and also of legislation against
the trusts. Fear of this before ii comes
is causing some discounting of the event.
The only bull leaders on the market are
the Flower people, who buy stocks stead
lily as their prices decline. The work OF
this party unquestionably has done much
to keep their particular specialties up,
and prevent the entire market going
off as much as it would otherwise The
Flower followers are bulling the stocks
of roads that are making large earnings,
and on the whole their position IS the most
reasonable Of any. although it may re-
qure the use Of pretty big margins be-
fore they can realize. One of the care
ful spectators summarizes the situation
in the advice 20 sell for short turns but
TO buy the dividend-payers for the big
profits.

VAN WYCK GETS EXCITED

GEN. C0LLIS' NAME MISUSED
The Ex-Commissioner of Public
Works Under Mayor Strong Re
pudiates the municatiCu-EN-

TO Be Spurious.

New York, Oct S-While at a meeting
OF the board of estimate and apportion-
ment, which was in session yesterday
morning, a letter was handed to Mayor
Van WICK He opened 1t, and, as he
read its contents a dark frown gathered
on his face. When he had finished he
said in 4 low voice: Il have a second
threatening letter from the head of Mayor
Strong's department OF public works.
repeat what l said in regard 10 the first
letter, and say that l shall continue TO
investigate any and all departments which
may come before me regardless of whom
they affect, and regardless OF any threats
that may be made against me by the
writer OF this or any other letter.
There Was instantly a buzz of excite
ment among those present. BY permis-
sion of the mayor the letter was passed
around. II ran as follows:
NO. 1855 Fifth Ave, Oct. c. 1895
The Hon. Robert A Van Wyck, mayor
of the city Of New York:
Sir: / may have been ambiguous in
my communication of yesterday, and III
order 10 clear up any part of 1t as TO
what may appear innuendo, l will further
state that / intend to severely and pub
licly chastiSe You if you dictate any fur
ther news matt,s' 10 news gatherers un-
justly rejecting upon me in any manner.
Respectfully,
&C. H. T. COILS"
Lloyd Coils, the son of Gen. Coils,
called at the mayors office in the after
noon and said that the letter received
by the mayor and purporting TO be from
his father was a forgery. Gen. Coils
could not be found at his Office. He was
seen later at the Union League Club, and
emphatically denied having written the
letter. He pronounced it a forgery. A
comparison of the letter received yester-
day and the one sent to the mayor by
Gen. Coils several days ago shows that
different kinds of paper and ink We're
used. People who know how to judge
handwriting and have examined the let
ters say that there is no question that
the second one is 4 forgery.
District Attorney Gardiner SAID last
night that the investigation of the de-
partment Of public works by the grand
jury would begin next Monday. He has
assigned three members Of his staff 10
go over the matter and take charge Of
the case. but he will also take part in
the inquiry The special report of the
commissioner Of accounts, together with
the books of the department of public
works, will be open TO the scrutiny of the
grand jury.

Monday evening about seven O'Clock
]. P. Dieter and mis- wife we're out for
drive and started to 60 over the rlv-
er. On approaching this end OF the
Stanton street bridge Mr.. Dieter's at
tention was called to the way that
bridge inspector John Clemens COLOR
ed) was prodding man with q site k
which he rad in his nand. Mr.. Dieter
sand; cat first 1 thought they were in
fun, but on drawing near 1 found that
such was not the case, but that the
inspector was using that method OF en-
forcing the demands that he was max
ing upon a poor ig norant Mexican"
The Mexican had on q pair OF cheap
shoes that could be bought for q Mex
lean dollar, and Clemens had demand
ed that he take them off. The Mexican
being little too slow for the inspector
be had used the above described means
of hurrying him up. The SHOES being
captured, the Mexican came on up the
street bsrefooted. Mr.. Dieter,
after the affair was over,
said, "Clemons, that's shame"
whereupon Clemens spoke up in q very
officious way, saying, "I'll,arrest you,
sir, if you try to interfere with me in
my official duties.'' From the looks OF
the shoes no doubt the government
will get rich off such captures. 1t Is
understood that there will be an inves.
tigation of the affair.

His Deadly Bullet.

Anderson corr. Chicago Chronicle.
Alfred Weed, inventor of fle-cut'
ting machioe, has just applied Tor
patents on q most remarkable bullet
which may be barred from civilized
warfare because of the barbarity OF fts
destructive properties. 1t is conical
affair. so shaped and followed that 1t
closes the flesh behind it and then ex-
plodes on the inside of the victim or
target. He has publicly demonstrated
its terrible effect with .32 caliber
rife by firing into ham and also into
q live rabbit. The ham was torn into
shreds even too fine for good sausage,
while the rabbit was literally destroy
ed. The bullet can be used in any
gun. While on his fall hunt last year
he used it shooting bear and deer and
there satisfied him self and q few
friends as to its practicability. He
has refrained from patenting 1t because
of it's terrible effect. but he has at last
been driven to do this to keep 1t sale.
Unless the government wishes to use 1t
he will probably reserve rights OF man
ufacture AID use, as he cousiders'lt q
most dangerous and terrible weapon in
the hands of man.
