KEW IORK, July 57.-ln spite of or rrob
ably because of the two additional failures
on tha Stock exchange E. S. Hooiey Co.
of this city and William Barrett of Boston
today's slock market showed general im
provement and the s. I nation as a whole was
viewed with more checrfulnesa
The Hooiey failure iru regardd as an
Inevitable sequel to that of W. L. Stow &
Co.. wbuh came lait Friday. The failure
cf Mr. Barrett was wholly unimportant.
The market displayed a hesitating tone at
the outset, many of the railroad stocks
showing fractional declines. Blight Im
provement soon followed, prices went oft 1
to 2 points, with even greater declines in
the specialties, as soon as the (allure came
out. Evansvfiie at Terra Haute, a Hooiey
specialty, declined H points and the entire
list reflected considerable confusion.
By the end of the first hour the situation
seemed well In hand and the prices ad
vanced, save in a few Instances where pres
sure continued to be directed upon certain
stocks.
Kerne Blamee the Traits.
In connection with the failures In Wall
street, James R. Kene, whose son-in-law's
house, T. J. Taylor & Co., was among these
to suspend, is quoted by the Herald as fol
lows In an interview at his country home
In Cedarhurst:
"Do you think the general prosperity Is
likely to be affected by the serious decline
In stocks r was asked.
"I don't sea why it should be," Mr.
Keene replied. "Business is good, crops
are exoelle.nt and gross earnings of rail
roads are larger than they were last year.
I have no doubt that their net earnings
will be correspondingly large. In spite of
all this people have no confidence. They
are appalled at the tremendous decline that
lias taken plaoe, the explanation for which
lias not been reasoned out by them."
Financiers Mast Stag) Decline.
Mr. Keen continued:
The extremity af the danger should bring
relief from a concert of the financial and
, raliroaa iritmanu t stia? further decline,
which must gain .in force if It contlnuea.
Perhaps the beat reason for the present
situation has been the absolute unwilling
ness of the public for some time to buy
securities. If you have sellers and few
buyers ft Is easy to predict the result.
I believe over-capitalisation and the dis
astrous collapse of three or four recently
organised trusts have paralysed the buyer,
produced a general fright and terrible
liquidation r good securities to protect
holders. Despite this liquidation, which
has reduoed the average values of securi
ties Hi per cent, bank loans have not been
reduced, nor has the surplus reserve been
materially increased.
It would be natural to look for a oorre
s ponding decrease in bank loans in conse
quence. This has not occurred, and 1 have
not seen anyone yet who has fathomed
the reason lor it. It may ue SBieiy aaia
that this singular result, so contrary to
all previous experiences, has caused much
anxtety and produced grave apprehensions.
Explanation of it may be possible from
people who understand the Intricacies of
the movement of money and shifting loans.
Buyers will eurely be attracted, however,
as in Wall street convulsions of the past.
Third Fatlaro Is asasaaees.
Another Stock exchange failure . was
recorded soon after the opening of today's
market, when formal announcement was
made on the exchange of the suspension

The convicts msde immediately for the
office of the captain of the guard, R. J.
Murphy. There they seized Warden Wil
kinson, his grandson, Harry Wilkinson,
Captain Murphy and several other officers
and guards
A desperate fight took place. The con
victs were armed with knives and razors
and assaulted Warden Wilkinson and his
officers. The warden's clothing was slashed
Into shreds with a razor, but the blade did
not touch the flesh. Turnkey Cochrane
fought the convicts with a chair, raining
blows upon them right and left. Finally
he was felled by a knife thrust In the back.
Guard Cotter was cut In the abdomen so
that his entrails protruded and he died this
afternoon, while Palmer was severely cut
about the head. The floor of the office was
covered with blood.
The officers were easily outnumbered snd
soon relieved of their arms. Then using
the officers as a shield, the convicts started
for the armory post on the outskirts of the
penitentiary grounds. They passed a gat
ling gun on one of the walls but the guards
were afraid to use it. When the armory
post was reached officers there attempted
to interfere but were qulrkly overpowered.
Then after further arming themselves with
rifles, knives, pistols and ammunition, a
dash was made for the country.

morning when an Iceberg about 200 feet high

The engines were reversed, but before the

BROWNSVILLE, Pa., July 27. William
C. Arnold, S years old. a well-to-do farmer
of Jefferson township, Fayette county, was
taken to Jail in Unlontown tonight charged
with the murder of his son. His wife, Mary
Effie Arnold, aged 2, also is charged with
murder, and the legal course will be taken
with her also as soon as she has recov
ered from the childbirth that forms a part
of the unusual tragedy.
Late on Friday night Dr. LHley was sum
moned to the Arnold house, where he found
a woman and a new-born babe. He was
told by one of the parents that he had
been called in to kill the child. The physi
cian examined the babe and drew from its
er's bouse, seized his four-horse team and
wagon, robbed the house of everything of
value, took the farmer with them as a
driver and headed for Bald Mountain. Evi
dently it is then intention to reach Ala
baster cave, situated near this mountain.
All the convicts are still at large.
Among the officers carried off by them
Is General Overseer McDonough. Some
fears are felt for his safety, as he bears
the especial ill-will of the convicts.
Later in the day Governor Pardee ordered
Company H, of Flaoerville, to the scene,
and Company C, Second Infantry, of Ne
vada City, was ordered to be In readiness
In case it should be needed.
Warden Wilkinson was the first to re

the convicts having taken his hat. Captain
Murphy appeared afterward, minus part

Before 1870 conclaves were held In the
Qulrtnal palace, one long wing of which
was always ready without any special
preparation But ln the case of the VaUcan
apartments of three or four rooms for each
cardinal have to be specially prepared, and
as there are sixty-four cardinals the amount
of work Involved Is very great. The aoo
tlon destined for the conclave comprises, oa
the ground floor of the Vatican, the three
suites which surround the famous Court
of Sandamaso, the rooms under the late
pope"e apartment, and the tower, with the
rooms about the sala ducal 1.
On the second floor the rooms about the
Loggia Raphael and the pontifical offlnea,
comprising all the apartments formerly
occupied by Cardinal RampoUa, who has
left the Vatican altogether, will lie used.
The whale will furnish commodious lodg
ing for about 500 people.
Poor Rooms ta a CardlaaL
Each of the cardinals during the con
clave will have a suite of apartments com
prising four rooms, made up of three bed
rooms, one tor the cardinal, cne for his
conclavist and the third for his servant.
The fourth room will b used as a salon
or dining room, according to taste.
When lots for apartments were drawn
the American cardinal crew No. S, the
modest apartment of Commendatore Pue
clnnelll, the master of the house. It is a
few steps up from the ground floor on
the left cf the noble staircase entering
from the Court of Sandamosa. The car
dinal's bedroom la decorated with paper
of an ordinary yellowish gray and it con
tains a small black iron bed, a marble-top
dressing table, a small writing desk, an
armchair, an iron clothes stand, a little,
high movable mirror framed In Iron snd
wood and a prie dleu at the elds of the
bed. Over the bed bangs a picture of a
Madonna.
Adjoining this is the conclavist's room,
which is smaller, containing about the same
furniture, txcept that the chairs are sim
pler, with cane bottoms, and with -a mirror
and clothes pegs attached to the walls.
A smaller room, witrj a ramp led. Is for
the use cf the servant. The fourth room
will be of little use, as It is without a
window. The apartment Is lighted by elec
tricity. It will probably be hot, as It has
a full southern exposure.
The cardinals liedroom treasures only
fourteen feet by eleven.
