CORWIN DISCONNECTED.
me college, student Under Examine.
tiOn Turned the Laugh on
the Orator.

The general impression is" said the
professor, that Corwin was never dis
concerted by any antagonist. But
there was an old story current in CEN
trail Ohio 35 or 40 years ago, showing
the contrary. Soon after Antioch col
lege, at Yellow Springs, began to
achieve reputati IN under Horace
Mann, there was an outbreak among
the students. In attempting to quiet
the disturbance one of the professors
was roughly handled. The professor
insisted that the ring-leader in the haz-
ing frolic threatened him with heavy
cane, and finally struck him. The stu
dent was arrested on complaint of the
officers of the college, WHO were repre-
sented i'll court by Tom Corwin.
"Corwin's great reputation and his
manner took nearly all the fight out of
the students who were standing by the
parties under arrest. Corwin was car
rying all before him, making witnesses
say almost what he wanted them to
say. when one Of the principal offenders
took the stand. This young fellow ad-
| mltted that the professor was threat
| ened with canes, but denied that he was
struck by anyone. He said, in fact, the
boys only wanted to scare the professor,
and had no thought of hurting him.
The witness was n quiet, athletic fell
low, and as he made this explanation he
smiled at the exaggerated look of
| amazement on Corwin's face.
"Corwin made the witness show how
the canes were fourished about the
professors head, and questioned him
persistently as to how close the canes
went to the professors nose. He began
with five inches and forced the witness
to say that the distance was not greater
than three inches, two inches, one inch.
Then, triumphant, he took the cane
from the hands of the witness, and.
liourishing it about the young fellows
head, so close as to make him dodge,
thunGe-ed: If n man should flourish
heavy cane about your head like this,
and this, within an inch of your nose or
car CT hair, what would you think. what
Wo"ld you do, sir?' The student, who
had been dodging this way and that,
"uch to the amusement of the specta-
tors, suddenly sprang to his feet, and,
initiating Corwin's intense, dramatic
manner, and his humorous voice, said:
! would welcome him, sir, with bloody
hands to hospitable grave This ap-
plication of thafamous sentence in Cor

EELS IN CAPTIVITY.
They Keep Their Appetite and Grow
Fat and Appear to Get Along
Very Well.

Eels appear to be pretty hardy In
captivity. There are in tank at the
aquarium a number of cells that have
thrived and grown fat there, although
they muot there content themselves
With a gravel bottom instead of one
of mud. whIoh they would seek in
nature, says the New York Sun. The
eel in captivity is rather susceptible to
fungus, but the disease responds readi-
- to ~Catmcnt, and the eel never loses
IFS appetite. All the cells in this tank
lave increased materially in size and
wCight there. The eel that has been

thc C@lS was caught about II year and
"a bali ago right in the aquarium; taken
rom the valve Of pump which had
D2cowc chohrd up. The eel was got
at substantially uninjured. IT has
about dCuE'd IFS weight since iheh.
The cells are fed on chopped-up clans,
with occasionally some live killiesr
which they are easily oble to catch and
which they like. Killies, in fact, make
n good bait in fishing for cells, with the
killie hooked through the back in such
way as not to kill or deprive il of the
power Of motion.

W. \. Portcrheid a Co. Assign for
the Henefit of Creditors.


W. a Porterfeld & Co., stock brokers,
doing business at 6l3 Fifteenth Street,
made an assignment yesterday for the ben
eft of creditors and closed their doors to
any further business. The firm has been
conducting one of the largest offices of its
kind in the city and in addition has had
many branch houses throughout the South
Last week the firm paid in fun its obi
cations in this city and $Sl 900 was dis
tributed among customers in the shape of
winnings. 1t is understood that similar
settlement will be made in the branch Of
fees
Mr.. Porterfield made the following state
ment yesterday to a reporter for The
Times: Il have worked twenty hours a day
for the past month and am simply physi
cal wreck. My efforts to keep th.ngs NOV
ing through this advancing market were
successful up to the past few days, when,
through the talk OF supposed friends and
published interviews by former partners,
our financial standing has been weakened
and our southern clientele made run upon
US. Our finances, being scattered IN South
eTn banks, were NOT available for imme
date use. This, together with consider
able moneys due us by responsible people,
but uncollectihle upon moments notice
makes a combination of circumstances
which We cannot overcome. Con idering
the state OF the markets and worn out con-
dition of my assistants l considered this
the only movement left to protect our Gus
toners and ourselves. We settled up all
our local obligations and discontinued do
ing business in Washington last week. as
we were unable to place transactions here
on commission basis satisfactory We
have paid out over $s1 900 to customers
during the past week. From the condition
of our accounts l think our assignees will
be able to make satisfactory settlement
with ali customers"

STOCK MARKET QUIET.
strong Contrast to the Wild Scenes
of Last Week.


New York, Jan. 30.-The speculation in
the stock market quoted down to some ex-
tent today although the transactions again
footed up very large total. The opening
of the market was in strong contrast to
last Mondays dealings, only small and ir-
regular price changes being shown, and
there being an utter absence OF the wild
excitement then present. There had been
no developments of general Importance
over Sunday TO give new trend to spec
ulative sentiment, and doubtless the aver
age Spectator was inclined to increase his
lines of stocks on account of the strong
showing made by the banks in their state
ment of Saturday. The subsequent course
of the market indicated however, that
liquidation was in progress in large vol
ume. and this selling in a number of cases
plainly outstripped the new buying. The
reactionary tendency of the market in re-
spect both of movement and activity was
not unwelcomed by conservative commits
sion houses, as it was thought it might
exercise a good moral effect upon their
customers. The technical aspects of the
market We're not overlooked by the pro-
fessional boardroom traders, who ham
mered the market with some of their old
afternoon.
Aside from the publication of a number
of interesting statements of earnings. in
Guiding the December report of the Union
Pacific, the days situation was rather fea-
tureless. The most important announce
ment was of the purchase in London of
several hundred thousand pounds in gold
toT shipment to this country. The gold
was received in London from South Africa
and was sold at price which indicated
considerable relaxation in the general de-
mand for the metal. The local money
market was reported easy in all its di-
visions, as was TO be expected after the
showing of the banks position on Sa.ur-
day, and it is evident that but for the
heavy speculation in the stock market the
current rates on call loans will be cut in
half.
Today's local market was active and
much steadier than the stock market.

Texas issues advanced smartly
Foreign houses were purchasers on bal
ance of over 20 900 shares of stocks. chiefly

of the market were Central, Southern and

citic shares were comparatively heavy, the
speculation there not having recovered
from the blow of the Vanderbilt denial

shares were very strong on buying In an

The granger shares under the lead of St
Paul were in the main firm. although they
participated in the afternoon reaction. In
the final dealings there were many pro-
nounced rallies, which left the list showing
irregular changes at the close.
