ITS OBJECT ACCOMPLISHED , The Influential Combination of Capitalists is Apparently Satisfied , NO FURTHER FAILURES ARE REPORTED , tVntl Street Hlghta Itself After n Most . .Memorable l < "Inrrjr Hcnr * Are Still Ontflldo ofl'liolr IlulcH. Nnw Yonn , Nov. 13. The stock markft today , while still very nctlvo , showed less ox- cltctncnt in early trading nnd afterwards subsided Intj the ordinary appearance , wltb only the usual fluctuations , Tbo general fcclln ? In the street has undergone n marked change for the better , and the opinion of most habitues of tbo street h that the object 'of the Influential combination of capitalists which has forced the recent decline bus been accomplished , nnd with the affecting of the reforms In railroad business now proposed there will como n general Improvement In values. The Into reaction from low prices two days ago Is regarded as principally the effect of the coveting of short * , together with some buying by those who had thrown their holdlrgs over ou tbo scare. There were no further failures or bank suspensions to dis turb the oven course of events , but the bears 'demonstrated ' the fnct that thov bnvo not aa yet gene Into their holes , and nro still very much nllve. The natural tendency of prices to ad vance after the late severe drop was checked aud xvhiio fluctuations were on a compara tively small scale they were In some cases very material , though final changes were In most cases for fractional amounts only. The stock market this morning felt tbo Inlluenco of the suspension of the North Hlvcr hunk nnd the disclos ures In ronrd ( ? to tbo North American company , and first prices were gen erally fractions lower than yester day's final figures. A flood of North American was poured upon tbo mar ket in the llrat tew in mutes trading and tbo prlco dropped suddenly from 1(5 ( to' ' , a loss of lljtf per cent from last night. Although some of the others sympathized with this weak ness the market outside of North American was not specially active , aud with the absence of special pressure to sell there came a ma terial reaction , North American going back to 11JX end settllnff to about the lovcl of 11 for the remainder of the hour to 11 o'clock. A confident feeling was soon restored and tbo activity Increased towards the end of tbo hour , while prices advanced more rapldlythe cnlns over tliu lowest prices of the early dealings - ' ings extending to "kf per cent ? carrying the list beyond tbo prices of last evening. The market ut II o'clock wns active and strong at the highest figures of the hour. At noon money was tight at 12 per cent. Active buslness'was sustained In the stock mnrhetaftcrll o'clock , but the high prices of the llr.st hour were not surpassed and a de- cllnliiR tendency developed , but only a portion tion of the early advance was lost. The Vlllnrds were the most active , but St. Paul and other grangers wore still promt- lient. Later In the hour North American re acted to ! ) , but tbo general list was fairly well held , und nt noon tbo market was nctlvo and steady , generally at small frac tions better than the opening. After IS o'clock stocKs were quiet nnd firm. The best prices of the forenoon were ncnln reached. A decided weakness developed to- wnrd 2 , however. Sugar Kcfliiorlos became the lender , dropping from fi3 to 54J < ; St. I'aul J.Vto-JSKt Northern preferred 13f : to GOif , Atcblson 1 to ! ! 0 , ' . After some hesitation the decline wns resumed. Union Pacific scored a loss of 1 ? . The downward move ment then acquired additional force , the mar ket becoming demoralized , und before the do- .livery hour all the forenoon's advance was wiped out , with fractions In addition. At Ssl5 ) ) . in. the market was nctlvo and weak at the lowest prices of the day. . Ollldala of the North American company , have authorized the statement that it Is per fectly solvent. They say the creditors were called together simply to satisfy them ot the Bound condition of the company aud to obtain tholr co-operation. Iho company has made no assignment and Intends to make none. The Kvcnlng Post says : "Early prices for stocks , both In London nnd In this market , were lower , the effect of the suspension of .tho North Hlvor bank at the close of business yesterday , together with the xinderstanding that Its losses would require It to bo wound up. But later , when It was known tnat tbo fortnightly settlements In- London had been completed without failure and the Bank of England rate remained unchnngcd , there was a general recovery and by 11:80 : ncarlv every stock on the list except North Ameri can was up to last night's prices and many above , notably Northern Pacillc preferred , Western Union , Itock Island and Northwest ern.

Thinking ho was not In earnest Hapelyo jokingly asked if they were loaded. IIo found out that they were upon bearing the report nud a bullet whi/zcd past his head nnd crashed through the window behind him. Rapclyc , who had no weapon with which to defend himself , dropped to the floor and crawled bcliln da partition , whereupon the man emptied ono of his revolvers over Hapclyu's head. The bullets came through tno screen work nnd passed through the glass window on the op- po-tlto side of the odlce. Owing to the lateness of the hour no ono came to Kupelyo's assistance , and after lay ing in nn uncomfortable position for about n.i hour ho attempted to como from his hiding place , whereupon the man started to empty his second revolver and bullets were flying in nil directions.

Cnicioo , Nov. 13. [ Special Telegram to Tnr.BrK.1 Considerable interest has been aroused lu Methodist church circles by a story to the effect that Miss Frances "VVlllard's friends are making an effort to have nor elected a bishop of that denomination. The recent agitation of the question as to whether or not women are eligible for service as lay delegates to the general conference is , says Dame Humor , duo to the dcslro of thcso friends to secure the position for the great temperance advocate. Presiding Elder Truosdoll said this morn ing , when questioned In regard to the mat ter : "Aa to any woman's eligibility to bo elected to any olllco in the church , such as editor , agent , secretary or bishop , it depends entirely upon whether she can get a majority of votes , lay and clerical , In the general con ference. It ordinarily takes 1250 votes to so- euro an election , so you see Miss \Villard's election to the position of bishop depends only indirectly upon the admittance of lady dele gates to the general conference. As to her candidacy , I have heard nothing ; but If she can secure the required number of votes she will cqrtainly secure the position. .TUG si'jjuit nrxa. Nnshvllle Races. I.I.E , Tenn. , Nov. IB.

There have been frequent consultations nt ihowhlto house recently between the presi dent nnd the ofllclnls of the war nnd Interior departments relntlvo to the course to bo pur sued towards the Indians nt the Standing Itock and Pine Kldgo agoneie.-i. The o con ferences have been necessitated by the hoi- tlio attitude of the Indians and especially In view of the announcement that n Messiah Is among them and who has promised to deliver the white men into their hands for punish ment. For awhile there wus llttlo apprehen sions of trouble of any inngnltudo but a com munication received lit tho'Interior depart ment today from Agent lloyor at thu Pitio llldgo agency caused n great deal of uncasi- tifss. Ilu represented that while attending n heat dance the other evening a party of In dians became very insolent , and belligerent nnd when rebuked announced their Intention of going on the wurpath. An effort was made to arrest the offenders whereupon other members of their tribe interfered nnd the agent was compelled to order their release. This seemed only to increase their evil designs and they went away threatening dire vengeance upon the ugent mid all connc'cwd with him and it is feared that serious results might bo appre hended. With a view to averting trouble ho recommends that United States troops ho or dered tothescunoof the tnreiitoned disturb ance nnd bo present particularly the next time that rations nro issued two weoKshence. It wns also stated by the agent that there were many things of which the Interior de partment should bo Informed nnd that lie would have to come to Washington as ho could not toll it nil in a written document. Immediately upon the receipt of this commu nication Acting Secretary Chandler of the in terior department sent to the president , who' summoned the acting secretary of war , ( Sen- oral Grant , mid the greater portion of tha day wns devoted tothls matter. It waslhiully decided to leave the question to bosotUml by General Thomas II. Htigor , commanding the department of Dakota , who. a few days ago received instructions from the war flcpart- ment to visit Standing HOCK agency und othur points where trouble was anticipated and report - port the resuit of his observations at once to the authorities at Washington. As a pre cautionary measure it wns also doomed ex pedient to have troops contiguous to tlio spot when rations are to bo issued nnd which i. about eighteen miles distant from riilroad communication. Judge Chandler v/as not in clined to bo very much alarmed over .ho out look when Interrogated this uftcmcmi , say ing that It hud resolved itself into a uuestiou whether or not the agent should be permit ! n < 1 to como to Washington , "IIo would like to como hero and have a talk , " said the Judge , "but the Interior de partment thinks that ho can be of moro ser vice by remaining on the spot and attending to his duties. To be sure , thcro has boon con siderable muttering nnd discontent mani fested recently among the Indians , commence ing at Standing Hock , where Sitting Hull ! located , and extending do > vn to tlio Pin , ttldgo iigency. But the Interior dcpurtmon has been kept fully Informed of all that has transpired , and tbo proper measures will bo resorted to if discipline becomes a necessity. SUW rOSTMASTKUS.

TIIH.NEXTSl'KAKEIt. The fact tlmt Senator Gorman Is In New York nnd hns becu consulting with Governor Hill of that Btnto on the question of the spcakcrshlp of the next house has caused a great deal of comment In democratic circles at the eapltol. That this subject was discussed is known nml two significant points in regard to ISfti nro drawn from the interview. Thoilrstls that Gorman nud his colleagues are afraid of the tremendous majority in the next house nnd know that the only way to save It from blundering Is to have a quiet and conserva tive speaker. From his position of promi nence the next speaker of t lie house will bo in training for the tail end of the democratic ticket , therefore Governor Hill has an Interest - ' est In the selection of the coming innii. The second point educed from the Interview Is the fnct that Gorman nnd the democratic sena tors arc ofTerinr- their aid to Hill to secure the nomination for the bond of the ticket In 18W , with the speaker of the house as the vlco presidential nominee nnd Hill us the president. The former must naturally como from the west , as the latter is from the east. This is what the southern democrats rave about. They say that the senate , with the rilll democrats , will try to crowd out the south and put n western man lu the upcakur's chair. They are boiling mad over the pros pect and declare the senate has no right to interfere in house matters , especially the selection of a speaker. But this will not defeat - feat Gorman from making his deal with Hill. Of all the western men spoken of. thcro nro three to bo ioloctw ] from. They uro Bynutn of Indiana Springer of Illinois and Hutch of Missouri. Bynum is too loud-mouthed for Gormuu. Springer is effervescing and uncertain und the remaining man seems to bo the only one left. If ho can bo Induced to become n Hill man against Cleveland tbo combine's efforts must bo In his favor , but If the deal cannot bo nmde la this way the ( Jormun combination will hnvo to loon elsewhere for a speaker , perhaps further west than thoVeglons named. The outcome of tbo visit to Now York is watched with great Interest here. AJtVNKJIKSTS. The London fog which has hung ever the atricals for years Is lifting , and tbo American dramatist is forging to the front. The "Henrietta" wns a stop in the dlrco tlon of a HOV , ' order of things , supplement by'Brouson Howard's "Shonnndoah , " and now comes Beia-seo ami Do Millo's "Charity Boll" to widen the breach between thoEng llsli melodrama and the Amorlcau comedy. American playwrights are in the saddle and their work is already receiving the crltl cal consideration of audiences the world over It may have boon the name as much us any thing which attracted so representative an nudlenco f mm the snmrt world of Omnhn to iho Doyd last evening , for thcro nro ninny tender recollections associated with the charity halls of the pn.nt , but the nmno was forgotten nt the close ot the play , amid IU healthy honest sentiment ami Its masterful construction. The whole pith of "The Charity Ball" is centered In the third act , which Is admirably told and which holds the attention of the milllunce , where the two II rst two acts hnvo only caused it to wonder. The third act reveals .lohn Van Duron's study In the rectory of St. Mildred's. The rector Is a flno , manly typo , drawn in vigor ous lines nnd colored very pleasantly. Then * nro no platitudes upon his lips ; ho Is not namby-pamby ; n thorough out nnd out Chris- tlnn , but n man nt nil tliftc. * , having a heart for the do.solato and distressed , a mentor , a friend. .Inst such a iirle.it that would hell ) lift the burdens of llfo rather than make the load heavier by constant itteratlon of tbo sinfulness - fulness of flush. It Is the early morning nttor the charity hall , where the rector , his sister nnd his friends have been. The study Is lighted rather dimly by aim or two lamia. OuUldo the snow falls with dreary monotony. In the window the clergyman has placed the usual lump to warn unfortmintos that ho Is there , ready to assist nnd help thorn. Sim- Jen ly a door Is thrown open and n girl in her ball dross rushes in. She Is p.ileand dlshov- cllcd. Shu clnnccs Around , calls for John Vim Duron , between tbo bars of nn nnthom which the organist is playing on the church organ , and slnk.s down In n heap ou the the lloor , wec | > - Ing pltcously. The rector nmio.irs. . Ho lifts tno girl up and advances with her to the firelight. Ho then discovers that who Is Phyllis Lee , the girl , who until that night , has boon staying as a guest nt the rectory , nnd with whom ho has foolishly imagined ho is in love. She hns n tale of sh.imo to reveal. Follow ing her comes Ann Crugcr , one of those imn- Isturhigtingols which bring joy to scores of weary liunris by her inniiy chiiritlM. A model girl who is In love with the rector und who the most obtuse play goers wlUrcadllv understand Is going to nurry him. John demands the name of the man who has deceived Phyllis. The girl refuses to tell. Ann boaccclies her to retain hei'scerot. Hut the mystery is revealed to the minister. The man who his promised to marry Phyllis and failed to redeem his promise Is Dick Vim Duron , the rector's brother. John is ughiMt nt the discovery. At that moment Dick en ters , tired and blase. A hot nrguiuunt en sues. John forgoU that ho Is brother and rector , and wbllo In the midst of their discus sion the old mother enters to ttis.i "Her boys" good night , ns slid did in the days of child hood. When she leaves she takes with her a great deal of the bitterness out of tlio hearts of the two brothers. John exacts a promise from Dick to marry Phyllis. The rector calls her from an adjoining room and marries them on the spot. This net is n literary gem. Nothing approaching preaching It in dramatic power has been written tor many veara , There Is nothing to equal It In "Sliennndoxh : , " nothing that comes liny way near it in "Tlio Henrietta. " Messrs. Helusconnd Do Millohavc tried to touch in a&ontiincntnl way somoof the pre cious elements of our social lifo with a sorl- oii3 und a pleasant comedy pen. One of these elements is the sucredness and serenity of home , in winch is the pnro titmosphero of motherhood. Through .such a common chan nel of domesticity How the familiar waters of our everyday existence , bearing upon their surface the vagrant Incidents which like crimson nnd russet , leaves from tlio great bunks of life spin and disappear forever. The cast was excellent , well balanced nnd thoroughly in harmony with each other. But Mr. Putnam , who plays the leading role , hardly looks the Episcopal clergyman. IIo Is anything but ecclesiastical hi his appearance , notwithstanding that he wears the cloth , but his delineation of the character was artistic to a degree. Mr. Herman plays Dick very intelligently Indeed , which may also bo said of Mr. Burns' interpretation of Judgn Knox. Walter Thomas is assigned to the p irt of Alexander Kobliison , Iho leading Juvenile , and ho plays it with coiisuminiito art. Mr. Belts , the organist of St. M.'ldrcd's , was effectively portrayed by Mr. Gregory. Miss Carpenter , who impersonates Ann Crugcr , Is n now comer to Omaha , but hereafter - after she will boa favotito with theatre goers. A very competent actress , and withal u very pretty woman , sjiu plays the part with thu nicest discrimination possible. Miss Besslo Tyreo Is cutruitcd with the Ingluno role of Boss Van Huron , a sweetly sympa thetic character which she plays very nlcolv. Miss Ktliul Noybrooko is very delightful In the role of Mrs. De Pryster , "who dabbles In stocks. " A typo of character which Is founded nowheru but In New York and ono or two other big eastern cities. Miss Francis ( Jaunt , anil Eliza Logan were worthy of classed among Mr. Frohinnn's players.
