RIOT TO PURCHASE STOCK.
Mon and Boys Knocked Down in Wild
Conflict in Gotham.

New York, Mar. 30.-Scenes ap-
preaching riot vera witnessed on the
Broad street curb market Saturday.
1t resulted from the offering for sale
TOR the first time of shares in a widely
advertised mining property. Five
minutes before the usual opening hour
more than 500 brokers and messengers
who had gathered in the street made
a wild rush for the agents to whom
the distribution Of the new shares had
been intrnsted. Ninety per cent Of
the brokers are said to have had buy
ing orders for this stock, and in their
anxiety to execute their commissions
they fought wildly to reach the men
who had the stock for sale. Men and
boys were knocked down and tram
pied in the rush, the street was
blocked by the struggling crowd, traf-
f1c was suspended, and the shouts of
conflict brought throng of specta-
tors to the scene. In the meantime the
general business of the outdoor
market was practically at stand
still. After about an hour the ex-
element quoted down.

WRECK FATAL TO THREE.
Head-on Collision in Kentucky Results
in Injuries to Twenty.

Lexington, KY. Mar. 25.-Twenty
people were injured, three fatally, in
head-on collision between a Blue
Grass special passenger train on the
Queen & Crescent railroad and spe-
cial freight train, No. 616, at Curdville
Crossing, between Burgin and High
Bridge, in Mercer county, Tuesday.
The Blue Grass special was on its way
to Lexington and Cincinnati The
cause of the wreck as near as can be
ascertained is owing to the fact that
the night operator for the Queen &
Crescent had been relieved several
weeks ago and that the day operator
had not yet reported for duty When
the Blue Grass special reached the
Burgin depot there was no order and
the train rushed on. At Curdville
Crossing the freight train was also
proceeding at good speed and crashed
into it. The cars were badly piled
up and several hours were required to
clear the track.
Memphis, Tenn, Mar. 25.-One man
was instantly killed, another probably

hurt in rear-end collision between
work train loaded with laborers and

railroad Tuesday. The accident oc.
Cured at New South Memphis and
was caused by dense fog.

PROSPERITY is RETURNING.
Reports by Railways Show Conditions
Are Improving.

Washington, Mar. 25.-Every indica-
ton points to an Improvement gem
orally in the railroad and industrial
situation of the country, according to
reports made by the great railway
systems of America to the interstate
commerce commission These reports
are to the effect that. while the rail-
roads suffered to some extent by what
has come to be referred to as the "Oc-
tober panic" the loss was by no means
so serious as generally has been sup
posed.
1t appears from the reports that the
effect was felt particularly by the east
ern lines and by the lines in the south
eastern part of the country, while the
western lines and the trans-continen-
tai roads have not suffered materially
from the financial depression. The
figures available indicate also that the
general condition in the country is i'm
proving materially, with a prospect
that it soon will be normal or better.
