We knew il had $z5, O0e, 600 Of quick
cash assets in its treasury; the public
did not know that. When we obtained
900. 900 shares of stock-the amount we
started out to get-there was q short
interest on the market of 1900 shares
Of it 100 coo shares was foreign short
interest; so, 600 was stock Mr. Belmont
had sold under a resolution of the
board authorizing the sale.
These 50 600 shares were not good
deliveries for thirty days, and If we
had called the stock and insisted upon
the specific performance of contract.
as we had every right TO do, we would
have caused a greater panic than the
May 9 panic
a thoroughly responsible man finan-
cialIy that if I would call and insist
upon delivery of Louisville he would
sell 500 600 shares Of stock and give
me half of the profits for doing il. Mr..
Morgan's people sent to my hotel and
awoke me at 1:30 in the morning and
stated that at a Meeting OF bankers
it had been determined that We were
the owners of Louisville & Nashville.
and they wanted to know what we in
tended to do about il. stating that II
meant a panic probably greater than

overcome by the poisonous air pre-
viously inhaled. They testified that
the gas was much worse than anyone
thought, because its effect was not
felt until after a person had been in
it for some time.
The jury. after considering the tes-

verdict. fixing the blame for the death
of Mclaughlin.
The last body of the victims of the
Daly-Wes accident was today dragged
forth from the debris about $50 feet
from where the powder magazine
stood. The body is that of the unfor-
tunate John Burgy. the powder man,
who sent himself and his comrades TO
their doom.
While the body was horribly mutt
lated. the head, an arm and leg miss
ing, its condition created quite a sur
prise, for it was generally supposed
that the powder man through the force
of the explosion had been blown to
atoms. John Kirby. superintendent of
the mine. and John Thompson, its
master mechanic, early this morning
headed d gang of men who descended
to the 1.2o0-foot level. They began re-
moving the debris several hundred feet
from the scene of the powder ma gazine
and at $50 they stumbled on to the
body
The remains were in a mutilated
condition. the head completely blown
of, likewise an arm and leg. The
other leg and arm were severed from
the body and hung by shreds of
clothing.
After the body was carefully laid
aside. the rescuers engaged in a sew
eral hours unsuccessful search for the
head and missing members. Debris
for yards around was carefully
searched. but no trace or the missing
parts could be found.
The inquest of Burgy has been SET
for Monday afternoon. John WEIGH,
John Larkie and Patrick Breen will
form the jury to fix responsibility for
the powder mans death.

PUG DOG REPLACES IDA MONK
Brooklyn Organ Grinders Innovation
Excites Comment.


Is the day of the organ grinders
monkey entirely gone? City ordi-
nances, S. P c.. A. Influences and a
probable scarcity in the monkey mar
ket have combined to do away with
the comica1 little creature, which has
always been children's favorite. The
question asked above was suggested
by an unusual sight seen on lower
Fulton street this morning, says the
Brooklyn Times. An organ grinder
with one of the oId-sty1e instruments,
which always, in the reporters boy
hood days, not so long gone by, was
ccOmpanied by a monk passed by
on his way to the upper residential
districts Instead of a monkey, how
ever, he had with him pug dog,
which he led by string In answer
to a question by the reporter the or
gan grinder said:
'tDa monk he maka da lot trooble;

and da monk in 1 pay da lot mon
for da monk; had troob1e. Da dog
he please kid same da monk, no costa

BILE
This explanation was perfectly sat
1sfactOry to the organ grinder, who
evidently gets as many pennies with
the dog as an attraction as he would
not refrain from thinking of Mickey

Masons will appreciate the humor
of this story: Few men in Brooklyn
were better known or more liked than
Sherlock, proprietor of The Abbey, an
enormously fat Amphitryon, whose
feasts were never interrupted by Of
fcious Jupiters- When Sherlock was
initiated into his lodge in Brooklyn
the night was fearfully hot. On that
famous pilgrimage to Jerusalem which
all initiates are required to make his
perSpiratiOn rolled off in torrents
leaving watery trial behind him.
B11ndfolded he staggered along, in
ward1y praying for relief The con-
ductor, not shortening the journey an
iota, but rather drawing out the
agony, happened to be an old &C
quaintance of Sherlock, who finally
recognized his voice. When he said:
Now, gentlemen ere were sever
al initiates in the party-''your Jour
ney is nearly ended; you are within
120 miles of Jerusalem Sherlock
gasped, George, don't you think we'd
better hire a cab2' The utter weari-
ness, wretchedness, anguish and de-
spair in the voice caused an explosion
that broke up the ceremony-New
