2TBW YOIIK , Oct. 2. [ Spccla to the Ilnr.l
Ifegardlng the failure of Hiatli & Co. , and
Henry M. SmUJi to day , a prominent broker
fiays , "Tho effect of the failure is likely to bo
a quiet ma ket after to-day until the street
discovers the extent of the losses. It Is
claimed that Henry Smith owes the film of
William Heath & Co. n out $1,000,000 , nnd
that the firm owes Its customers about the
same amount. Heath & Go's two scats in
the New York stock exchange are good for
560,000 , so that Wall sheet houses will lese
very little by the lallure. It i moro likely to
strengthen the hands , of the bulls , as Smith's
operations liave often prevented Iho market
from advancing. It Is stated that Smith
Is alto responsible for the * failure
of Souttcr & Co. , having owed them
about 250,000. It Is the opinion of a number
of people on the street that Smith's lalluie
was brought about by William II. Vandcihilt ,
who advanced the maiket in older to break
Smith as a punishment for Smith's betrayal
of William K. Vandeibllt when they were
operating together. It Is emtlmatcd that
lleatli was shoit from W,000 , to 100,000 shai e.s
of stock for Smith's account. All settle
ments as far as Wall street Is conceined wcro
completed before S o'clock this afternoon
by buying In all the stock on which HeaUi < fe
Co. wcro borrowing.
Henry N. Smith was ono of the best known
of the great speculators on the street and
ranked In his operations with Corn-
mack and Wocrlbholicr. Smith was a mem
ber of tbo famous Twenty-second
street crowd of bears , and lias lost
his money on the short side of the stock mar
ket. Smith two j ears ago was considered
worth 85,000.000. When Cornelius Vandcr-
bltt , eon ofV. . H. . set about bulling Lake
Shore without taking his father Into his con
fidence It has nlunjs been supposed that H.
SI. SmIUi was one of his associates. The
disastrous result of Cornelius' venture Into
Wall street on his own hook everybody
knows. Ho would have gene broke had not
W. II. Vanderbilt come In and personally
taken his son's contracts and saved thelnmily
cicdlU Then Cornelius was pensioned and
pledged to keep out of the Wall street game.
It was afterward gossip on the stiect that all
the while Cornelius had been buying Lake
Shore W. H. Vanderbilt had been selling.
As fast as tlie money went out of the young
man's pockets it went into tlio purse of the
old man.
There was talk of trouble for II. tit. Smith
tlneo months ngo when a great advance had
begun In Vantjcrbllt stocks. Smith steadily
denied any embezzlement , but linally was
compelled to go nshoio and cover an enor
mous line of short stock of nil kinds at a
tremendous loss. Ho wns nt ono time a
partner of Jay Gould in tlio old linn of Smith.
Gould & Martin , lie owns tlio celebrated
Fashion stud farm near Trenton , N. J. Ho
was n special partner In the firm of C. J.
Hudson & Co. , but his failuie does not effect
tills linn at all.
Henry M. Smith assigned with preferences
for wages and salaries. The amount is not
blntcd. It Is claimed that Smith owes Heath
about n million dollars , and the linn owes
about the same amount. DilTeicnces toVaIl
street houses nro not likely to amount to over
$100,000. It is stated Unit Smith was also
responsible for the failure of Sautter & Co. ,
having owed them about $230,000.
NKW YOUK , Oct. 2. It was rumored last
evening that a prominent house was in finan
cial difficulties , and the stories took dennlte
shape before the open Ing of the boaid this
morn Inc. The statement was that William
Heath tt Co. wcro likely to fall , aud that n
meeting had been held between Gould and
Cammack to consider the advisability of as
sisting him over his present dinictiltle.s , but
shortly before noon tno announcement was
made on 'Change that William Heath & ; Co.
weio unable to meet their obligations. The
shock Is not nearly so great as was antlci-
paU d. Humor saj s the house was short 100-
000 shares of stock , and thn failure Is gene
rally attributed to the inability or unwilling
ness of a prominent speculator recently re
ported to bo in financial trouble to icspond
to a demand for additlonal.marulns.
The linu was composed ot William Heath ,
Charles K. Quincy and Thomas K. Davis.
Heath has been prominent on Wail street tor
ubout twenty years aud lias been conspicu
ously Identified with nearly all leading oper
ators In the fctieet during that time. Henry
'M. Smith , about whom rumors ot financial
ti oublo have been alloat lor some time , nnd
who has been a very heavy lH"ir operator ,
hays : "The failuio of lleatli At Co. Is mninlv
duo to my opciatlons In the stock maiket. I
supposed tlio lirm stiong enough to carry me

now , unfortunately , I am placed wheio 1

Heath < fc Co , , have Just assigned to A.H.

Fright Ail nnd Fatal Explosion.
PtTTsnono , Oct. 2 , Shortly after 3 this
morning a battery of hollers at the Solar lion
works , exploded with dlbnshous effect. The
room in which the explosion occurred was
Immediately filled with stcain , scalding fa
tally four men and badly burning fourteen
others. These fatally Injured are : Fianlt
Martin , badly scalded ; James Cattoe , top of
head almost severed by n pleco of Hying lion ;
Frank Murray , a boy , tenlbly binned ;
K. Hurt Henderson , teriibly burned ;
some of the others weie seriously , though not
fatally injured , several having aims broken ,
others being badly bruised and cut by living
dcbiis. Scarcely had the icvcibei-atlnnsiiom
the explosion died away when the fienzied ,
frightened wives , mothers , and children be
gan to rush upon the .sceno and
peer anxiously into the faces of gasping , dy
ing men becking to identify their own.
Children , nearly nude and screaming at the
top of their voices crowded and Jostled each
other In the mad rush for Uie mill. Anivlng
there , there was a silence for a moment , and
then a woman's wall was heard , and then an-
oUierand another , until the shrieks , moans ,
nnd cries of anguish mingled In n discordant
chorus. The injined were lound Ijlngln all
positions , and some to lar from the boiler
that il seemed impossible that thev could have
been injured by the explosion. Those most
seilousTy injured were taken to the West
1'cnn hospital , others were removed to their
homes.
Two of the victims , Thomas Cattoe aud
John Murray , died at the hospital this morn
ing. Three or four others are not expected
to live. Tlie explosion was caused by mud
eating through the mud drum. Pieces of the
drum are not moio than a thirty-bccondth
part ot an Inch thick.

who died this morning , live more arc pro
nounced fatally Injined , nnd their deaths
momentarily expectul. The names are :
Charles Hey wood , Jo eph Gitze , Patrick
Henderson. Thomas Stern , and William S.
Daniels. The others tire icsliiig easily aud
no doubt will iccover. Tbo coroner adjourn
ed his investigation until to-morruw.
Ho Wants to lloltl the Job.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 2. Indian Commis
sioner Atkins telegraphed Maj. Gassmart ,
Indian ngcnt nt Crow Creole , to.tl.ty , nulling
him why he has not reported on the progress
made in removing the settlers from the Win-
ncbago and Crow Creek Reservations. There
Is a suspicion that the agent Is not acting as
decisively as ho should. He has been re
tained in bis place now for six months main
ly on account of the trouble over
these reservations. Several weeks ago ,
ills successor was agreed upon , but the ap
pointment hnd been withheld until the diffi
culty over the two reservations could be
gotten out of the way. Now it looks ub if
Maj. Gassimiii was going to disappoint Secre
tary Lamar and the Indian commissioner In
his tactics with the settlers. Ho has been
accredited at the war department by Sccre-
tanLamar. . and any time no calls for troops
at Fort Sully ho will iccelve them. Latest
icportH from Crow Cieek were that not a
seitler hud left Big Bend. These will be
driven out first and theicst will bo attended
to more leisurely.

The result wns n gennlro surjulso to every
one , nnd local sporting men f.roppcd n goodly
amount of cash on the icMiit. A moio dls-
njrrceablo day can hardly bo Imagined. After
two weeks of punshlno nnd ha'my weather ,
to-day was cold nnd stormy. The rnco was
announced for u o'e'ock. At noon
a cold , chilling wind sprni'g up
Irom the noiMionst. At 1 o'clock ic
began to pprlnklo slightly and hundreds of
peo.o ) ' who had intondud to sao the raea gave
up the notion and t > tnvcd at home. The icel-
ing among men who do not. rlsl : their money
in pools wast lint PhaUas would ho an easy
hands and this was repeated a moment later
when Phallnscamedn hlng down the track
with Kd Blthcrs holding tlio ribbons. Pluu- !
las did notFCem in ills best form. Tludtrst
time Bithcrs drove him up under tlie wire ho
broke badly. Ho nteo roomed Inmo although
tills was hardly jierceptlblu at the stait.
Wilkcs. however , eccnicil In perfect condi
tion and in nil the practice woik never left
his feet. The track was in fair condition
when they c.ame out but crew n little slippery
under a steady fall of rain during the prac
tice work and tcorinp.
After four scores , In two of which Phatlas
broke bctorc leaching the wiie , the horses
wentawnv for their Jlrst trial. Pools wcro
now selling Harry Wi.kes 5V > , Thai as 5 > 40.
When the horses went away they wcro neck
nnd neck. Wilkcs had drawn the polo before
the lirst furlong had been trotted. Blthers
tried to pass Wilkcs. The increased
pace was , lio\\ ever , too fast for Phallns and
no wont up into the air. Ho caught his feet
rmickly but had lost a length and a half ,
wilkes was not disturbed by the affair and
was trotting easily , reaching the quarter pole
in : ifl seconds , n 2:24 : gait. Phalias drew up a
trllle nndcama within n length ot Wilkes and
than loll back a little. Wilkcs stepped a iit-
t.o taster , however , and the next quarter was
made in ! H seconds , a 2:10 : gait. Down the
farther side of the track Phnllas trotted well
but the third quarter was only trotted in
85 seconds , n 2S3 : gait. Here , for the lirst
time , Phalias sefinca to recover himself. He
rushed upon Wilkes and threatened to over
haul him. When the uvo turned their laces
home.waid they were going like the wind.
Phallns trotted superbly , but Wilkes' lead at
tlie three-quarter pole w as too great. Tlie labt
quarter was trotted in 82 # seconds , n 2:0 : j
gait , and was as pretty an exhibition of speed
us has been seen on this track lor manv n
start fii tlio second heat was ex-en , but Phal-
la could Jiqytay.on.tlic. ground vUo broke

was acting did not urge Wilkes , letting him
goto the quarter in & > ] > end to the half In
1 : ( fJ } < 5. Dither improved his opportunity and
crowded Phalias along. Between the hnl
and thieo-quarter jwle the the stallion trotted
grandly and compelled Wilkes to do his Iwst.
It looked lor n moment like PhaUas' heat.
He was steadily gaining on Wilkes and
Fh6uld have eihaiucd him at the lower tin n.
Instead he went off his feet just opposite thy
la t red post , and was outof the race. Wilkes
logged home In 2:20i : amid the cheers ol his
backers. The poolroom w as almost deserted j
now. Wilkes friends insisted on tlie box
being opened , however , and a lew poo.s weio
sold nt t'J5 to & 1 on Wilkes- . I
In the thhd and last heat Wilkcs had anoso
the best ot Phallns who broke. He caught
his feet , howeser. and hustleit Harry to tlio
quaiiLTiuS4'li , tlio faslc-bt first quarter of
the d y. Many now cipccted to see Phalias '
win the heat. He was out-trotting ; Wilkes1 ,
but between the quarter and half posts
bioke twice. 1'ach time Dither caughc
him -well and on this farther stietch
he again ehowi d speed. It looked like a C.OMI
