DISASTER FOLLOWS
SLUMP
SMASHING OF THE COAL AND
IRON POOL DRIVES TWO CON-
GERMS 70 THE WALL.

New York. Jan. l9-There was an
episode in the New York stock ex-
change today that was more spec
tacular in many respects than the
recent Rock Island fiasco. With a
break of more than GO points the So
called Columbus & Hooking Coal and
Iron pool was smashed, two stock ex-
change houses were forced to sus-
pend and the market generally under
went severe declines. involving ths
heaviest trading since the day of Ed
ward III. Harriman's death. Total
sales aggregated 1.634,50 shares. A
rigid inquiry by the governors of the
exchange probably will be the after
math.
Firms involved are j. NJ Fiske & Co.
~ Broadway. and I.athrop Haslsins &
Co. 60 Broadway. The failure of both
was caused by the collapse of the
pool and involuntary petitions in
bankruptcy Were filed against both
this afternoon. In the case of J. NJ
Fiske & Co. liabilities of the firm are
placed by creditors at s750.000. with
assets of 100000. Counsel for the
firm. however, estimated at $4,000. 400
at the close of business on Tuesday
afternoon, with assets of 81 100000. He
did not estimate the financial resources
after today's developments.
Defraud Creditors.
In the petition creditors alleged the
preferential transfer Of property to
one or more creditors and further
charge that the alleged bankrupts per-
mitted large portion of their prop
erty ito be concealed or removed with
intention to hinder, delay and defraud
creditors"
Judge Hand in the United States
district court appointed a receiver to-
night. Assets and liabilities are not
stated in the petition filed against
Lathrop Haskins & Co. although ii is
alleged that claims of creditors on
stock accounts aggregate $4,000. Ad
mission of insolvency also is alleged.
No receiver has been appointed for this
firm tonight.
The collapse in the pool today was
brought about primarily by the refusal
of banks TO make further advance on
stock as collateral and the inability
or failure of those who were long on
it to make good impaired margins.
The suspension of the two firms most
vitality concerned was. therefore. n
natural result. Several individuals
also are said to have lost heavily. In
all $4,000 shares of Columbus & Hook (
ing changed hands at a range of from /

ficially denied. but 1t seems moro than
likely that circumstances will force 4
the exchange to take some cognizance I
Of the matter. In fact. some prin-
cipals of the pool were before the
governors. and an authoritative state
ment probably will be issued tomor-
row. According to common belief
James r. keene was active in the
of Columbus & Hooking. Y
Some of his associates said. however. 4
that the Keene interests in the stock
had been withdrawn a long time ago.

freight office committed suicide early
today by jumping OF the steamer City
of Buffalo, few miles OF Erie.

Yost told his wife In their stateroom
n moment before. She thought ne

TO his leaving her.
So Yost put on an overcoat over bis
pajamas and went out.
Mrs. Yost soon began TO take her
husbands statement more seriously
and gave the alarm.
The captain found Yost's overcoat
on one of the paddle-boxes. Yost and
his wife were going to Rochester, to
