abie1hat some securities will attain to
level even better than any yet reached,
despite the general tendency in the other
directions A great bull market like that
of the past seven months is not to be
transformed into collapse in day IN
less under the influence OF some great
calamity The break of Friday was
sharp and important one and many people
were hurt badly by it. There should be
sufficient warning in such a preciptate
decline TO those that have not soid OUT
their long stocks in the high priced issues
and in the list in general for that matter
rally nearly If not quite TO the level
before the break is to be expected. There
is usually such a rally at the beginning OF
a downward movement. Advantage OF
this should be taken TO liquidate stocks
still held. Purchases should be made
only on the sharpest breaks and then only
in the stocks that have not had their fair
share Of advance, like the Southern and
Southwestern Railway securities In gem
eral and the steel stocks among the In
dustriais. Short sales are ADVISED on the
bulges in the grangers. the Paciics, and
other highest priced issues.
The outlook is for a less easy condition
in the money market In the future. The
bulge in the call loan rate on Friday was
a manipulated one, chaperoned by the
Standard Oil banks. but II is, neverthe-
less the forerunner OF other similar ad-
vances in rates. and of generally tight
er condition of money. The bank state
ment yesterday was not an accident.
Neither is the present very low amount
OF surplus reserves in the banks. More

astute market people that the insiders
are about ready to let the market go OH

The Pennsylvania and Atchison officers
both made very positive statements dur
ing the week that the Pennsylvania has
rot been buying the Atchison for control.
President Csssatt and Vice President
Greene. of the Pennsylvania, both have
made Official statements to this effect
1t Is possible. however, that there has
been buying of Atchison for the Pennsyl-
vanla people in order to secure represen-
tation on the board, and harmony be
tween the arrangements Of the two sys-
tens II seems entirely probable that
large part of the purchases have been
made by the Gates and Moore factions
for speculative purposes only. The pres
ent price of Atchison common stock, even
after 10 points have been knocked on the
extreme advance. is entirely too high, and
it is likely that it will reach a lower
level In the near future. with the pre-
ferred stock on q per cent basis ana
selling for 1893. the price of 80 for the com

Mr. Hartman has come out with two
important, IL not sensational, statements
this week. lie denies very positively that
he and his friends have lost control of
the Union Pacific. and he atiirms with
equal positiveness that he has never had
control of the Chicago Terminal Com
pany This statement that he has not
lost control of the Union Pacific deprives
the theorists of one of their chief sup
ports They have argued with much pos
itiveuess that such buying as has occur
red IN the stock recently could only have
come from contest between the Harri-
man interests and the Nanderbilts for
control, and they have inferred, for no
reason in particular that can be learned,
that the Vanderbilts have been success
fuI The only basis on which they can
argue now is that there has been such
a contest but that the Nanderblts have
been unsuccessful. Whatever the ex-
PLANTATION Of the situation Is ri present
the stock has had a sharp decline. the
low point reached yesterday being OF u
polnts from the top This suggests very
forcibly that the contest Is over The
stock is selling at too high a level, or
rather, its advance has been too rapid,
and Il seems certain to decline in the
ore however. and it's prospects are fine.
The dividend is likely TO be increased at
any time as the company is earning
something like u per cent for the stock
The statement of Mr.. Hartman that he
has nothing 10 do with the Chicago

In order to get it accurate. In many of
the districts, 1t is said, more than 95 per
cent of the registered voters were seen by
the canvassers. In one election district of
New York county. where eighty-seven votes
for Bryan were polled last year, one cam
vasser found only forty-two Shepard votes
and the republican captain of the district
found forty-three Shepard votes, but the
extra man Of his canvass said he would
vote the fusion county and borough ticket
The canvass OF the seventy districts in
Manhattan revealed. to the surprise of the
republican campaign managers. the fact
that hundreds of democrats would vote for
Shepard, but would vote the fusion county
and borough tickets in order to strike
direct blow at Tammany.

CURTAIN DOWN ON AFRICA.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune from
London yesterday says: The curtain has
fallen upon everything in South Africa ex-
cept official receptions like that at the cap-
ital of Natal, where Lord Miner has ap-
peared upon the scene to counsel patience
and faith in the creation Of peaceful and
prosperous country under the British flag.
The lack Of news can only be interpreted
negatively. The British columns have been
trekking over the veldt another week with
out making an important capture or hunt
Ing down the remnants of the commanders.
The Beers, for their partf1 have prolonged
hostiiities another stage. and succeeded In
eluding pursuit without striking a decisive
blow in any quarter or gaining any material
advantage. 1t Is a long and terrible strug-
gle between British grit and tenacity and

endurance OF superior foe. The Duke of
Devonshire has been trying to make some

bloodhounds mark part Of his trail Officers
believe the man Is one Of the gang that
held up the Great Northern express near
Wagner. Mont, last June, his attempt to
get change for $50 bill of the series Sc
cured in that robbery attracting the atten-
tion Of the police to him.
He Is a rawboned man, about five feet
ten inches high, with florid complexion. The
man offered the bill in payment of a small
purchase made in a store. Difficulty in
making the change caused the salesman to
notice closely the bill, which proved to be
one of a Montana bank. The police were
quietly notified, the clerk meanwhile delay
ing the change.
Detectives Dwyer and Dickens were soon
on hand, and, approaching the man, de-
manded his name.
Ferguson was the reply.
After another question or two Detective
Dwyer told the man he was under arrest.
Quick as flash ferguson had pistol in
each hand and started for the door. A

more than a match for them. Using his
pistols as clubs, he fought his way to the

A passing ice wagon caught his attention,
and it's three negro occupants were soon
out of his way. Then at fire engine clip
the ice wagon was headed across the Cum
berland river bridge into East Nashville, a
fusillade of shots following it.
Out Woodland street went the flying
team, but sudden turn into 1st street
brought it to grief. One Of the horses fell
and broke it's leg, but the fugitive was not
to be delayed. Running across 1st street
he held up an old negro who was driving a
buggy, and the flight was continued.
Out into the commons the man sped
once the buggy overturned, but was quick
ly r1ghted. Finally the tired horse was
abandoned. After a dash into Shelby Park
on foot the supposed bandit secured an
other horse hitched near the park. Then,
after squirt Of speed. the horse was left
ana the flight was continued on foot
FURTHER out the pursuers found two Of
their bloodhounds shot to death a. short
distance apart, and after that trace of the
man was lost. The sheriff with a large
posse Is securing the country for him.
When the buggy was abandoned the man
threw away wallet containing 81 .O4O in
