[ Special Telegram to tHi URE. ] Share speculation suffered a numi bcr of reactions during the week , but Diet general tendency was in the direction of Im provement. The bear elements made some vigorous assaults on the Missouri Pacific nnd one day forced.tho prlco down 4 points , but n.s the wee ! ; progressed they lost their grip on this sleek , and also over the the general mar- kut. In fact soiiio leaders on the short side Were most rnvonous buyers In Into transac tions. The moral effect of the Increase In the Pennsylvania dividend was very marhcd and the peed feeling which It engendered re ceived a stimulus later on by the agreement of the granger roads to advance wheat and Hour rates in the northwest. The revival of confidence nnd a numburof converts miulo by the bull side were chiefly results of these two events which undoubtedly caused Bomo of the November Interest and dividend money to drift to the stock exchange for ins'cstmcnt sooner than It otherwise would have done. The Im provement for the week in a largo number of stocks ranged from 2 to OJ4 points. Lower prices were generally made Monday mi'd Tuesday and the highest near the close. Not only did speeulaUon broaden , HO far as the character of the buying was concerned , but it took a wider scope iu regard to the stocks dealt in , many of the low priced shares hav ing come prominently to the frbnt. The rail- rpad bond market showed some hesitancy nnd irreguliirity In early dealing , when there was u further break of U points in some of the Chesapeak & Ohio's. iJJf lJf in Kmistw ft Texas and -IJi iu Mohllo & Ohio debentures. The lust named subsequently recovered and Kansas & Texas issues advanced sharply. The closing llgures for general 5s and On were ! MC'li' points above opening quota tions , the bonds having been taken for foreign account anil considerable short interest hav ing been dovulopcd by the borrowing rate , Which rose to a premium. As the week wore along there was a perceptible incrcnxo in the demand for all classes of mortgages , and there was u greatly improved fouling in thi.l department of the exchange. Leading houses which transact an investment busi ness had moro orders to buy booked than foi 8omo time pust and the inquiries come from individuals of both small and large means , The inquiry was not merely local , but ex tended to Kuroic | , some of the foreign bunk ers having received cables for a number ol the Standard mortgages. The result of thin was an iidvaneo in many cases oi 1 to 4J points. The foreign exchange > change market lapsed into dullness HOOII after opening ami a slight reduction in rates ensued , but near the close nrmiies'i rigiiln prevailed under u better inquiry from remitters and a small supply of commercia ! bills. Arbetnigo dealiug in stocks did not have much effect , us London frequcntlj bought and sold on the same day , and the op erators In the aggregate were not important Good bonds were linn and uniform. Thu demand ran cliieUy toI's , which ave still be inglaken by depository bunks. There was BOIIIO demands from individuals to eseiipi taxation.

Deadwood Is the natural center 'of supplies for all this extensive region , and she boasts pro-eminence over nil competitors , und will maintain that honor us long as the moun tains themselves exist.

[ Special Telegram o the HUE. ] Indiana has been counted upon .o second General HIack's nomination for the ice presidency. Most of the Indiana men > ere in official positions uro for LSIack , aud ho general's friends have entertained the iclicf that Indiana was determined on hav- ug second place on the ticket , nnd while it night present u candidate for first place , vould not present any for second. Uut some f the Indiana democrats are confident that Governor Gray lias got to bo reckoned with. They do not profess to know whether ho vauts the nomination , but they say if ho does , vant it nothing can prevent his getting u olid delegation from his state. It Is a little Ignilleant thtvt Congressman Matson was icartily for General Black when ho went iome from hero last spring and ho has como lack for Governor Gray. The governor ms some claim on the gratitude of his > ; irt.y iu his state. Lust winter ho declined , o bo a candidate for the senatorship when its friends were confident that lie could ; asily be elected because his election would mve promoted the republican lieutenant ROV- irnor to bo governor. It Is still remembered igainst Senator Voohces that ho got lieu tenant Governor Malison to resign nnd take in internal revenue colloetorsliip , aud so 'eavo the way open for the election of a re- mblican to succeed him , although this result if course was not anticipated , but Governor Si-ay's friends credit him with u single net of iclf-abnegatlou in refusing to allow his nnmo o bo used In the senatorial election. The governor's hold is not entirely sentimental. He is a very usluto | > olitieian and a man of nueh force and his friends believe no combi- intioii can preventhis getting the state dele gation and they ure inclined to think ho will ivnnt it and that there will be a popular de- nand for him that will make it unnecessary "or him to exert himself much.

The UHnihtun driver holzcd the whip and added its resounding sounding crack to his vociferous entreaties treaties and denunciations. The tw < outriders ran along the sides of tlu team , shouted and swore and pelted th ( mules with stones , while ten bows of cov bolls suspended above the ton collar ; added their clangor to the confusion and the whole cortege rolled over th < roughest cobble-stone pavement on th < American continent , awakening ai angry city from itb comfortable blum bers. bers.Tho wealthy contractor was alone that morning , nnd ho occupied ovorj corner of the singe in bitch rapid sue cession and varied irosUions , that if thi City of Mexico had been twice as brow as It was , ho must have boon ii disagi'oc- ablo.jolly before reaching the suburbs.

" "Ah , Don Edgaro , I am so sorry to have to molest you in your Journey , but won't you do mo the favor to alight for a moinent'f1" Now , if there was ono quality on which that gentleman prided himself more than on another , it was the su periority of manners. Ho was known as the polite American of Mexico , and so , when addressed a simple request in such courteous terms ho was fain to comply. Ho therefore alighted und tried to dose so promptly , but his motions wore not bO graceful as usual ; there seemed : i trom- .ulous excitement , almost a btngger , in his movements , when ho looked about him. him.Four Four moil armed with cutlasses , rifles and revolvers stood ready to receive him. The upper half Of each face was covered with a blackmask. . They were evidently natives-save ono , whoso bend , broader than the others at the temples' , and ruddy . /ace below the inaslc , ended ilia thin , frotr/.ly , tow-colorod goatee , downed to indicnt'o nn Englishman. Mr. Wood , noting him carefully , thought ho hud seen him before , but fsiilod in every attempt to place him. "Seuor Wold. ' * siiid the spokesman , advancing , "I am pleused to mqet you and regret that you are not able , to I'o- ' ciproeato the cordial sentiments I en tertain for you. t must say , Amiguillo , you wear a charming hat Und such things arts so conunin to you that I am sura there will bo no' obstacle to ex change. See what a poor plug I wear , and so unmiited to my years and posi tion in society , it fits wolt. too. And also , Senor Wood , you nro said to pos sess au excellent Wiitch ; that , sir , would bo an oxti'o lively convenient article to have in my profession that I may bo prompt in meeting the stage ml thus avoid tircbomo watching. 1 will accept it with permission. " Mr. Wood was rapidly learning to adapt hinibojf to circuniHlaueos. Ho knew he must submit to being stripped , SO ) handing over too watch with the best grace postriblo ho said , with a sinilo and a how , ' "May I present 5011 with a pistol , us good as there is in the repub lic , except your own. " "Ah , scnorl now you flatter me ; I ac cept in your name , Amiguillo. " . ' 'And , UM ) , senor , I admire your coat ; let us exchange. Your trousers , too , will fit mo nicely , and yoUr boots , oven if a little largo , will bo bettor than these. Hnvo the goodness to bo seated on my old coat and we will assist you in removing them ; we ave oxpurienco valots. " To liavo observed the fiico of Edgar Wood now you would have thought . ho was engaged iu a frolic. I have heard him say , in tolling this story , that ho felt all through the performance as if ho were being joked by a friend. ' 'And now , " continued the ladron , "wo will trouble you , Senor Wood , to pa-ss out your valise , if you will bo So obliging. " Mr. Woo ; ! hesitated for tha , first time and looked around , but there wus ; no mercy ; the muzzles of the three pieces looked iuto his eyes , while ha replied , " well if insist. " "Very , gentlemen , you He handed out the heavy valise , which was taken aside by the Mexicans , while * the English looking thief kept guard at the btogo door. When the precious cargo wu'rt removed to a short distance from its * owner , tlve ' bontiuol muttered to him in English , "If you will give mo $2,000 unseen , from your belt , you can save the rest ; otherwise , I'll lix every dollar you've got. " Mr. Wood felt 6uro ho had somewhere soon the face , of which th mouth and chin wort ) exposed , but if ho ( inspected thu truth , he kept it to himself , and quietly handed ever the .money to the man. In a few minutes , 'the acarly empty ViilJse wasj returned , and the party bade the traveler uAiou , wished aut Journey. In his disagreeable llx ho could only ride till ho mot the return stage , and go with it to the capital , under shelter ofa shawl lent him by a sympathetic lady among the piibbcn- gors , , with whom , at noon , ho entered the patio , from which ho had so exultingly - ingly sallied iu the early morning. The idle populace , as usual , rushed in with the stage , and witnessed the discomfit ure of the american , as ho darted across the pavement and made his way to his room. When Mr. Woods emerged therefrom ho made his way to the English bank , to deposit the papers wived in his belt , and there encountered the second sur prise of the day. The teller , who re ceived and credited hiia with the amount , was the counterpart of the English robber of the morning ; but ho had no beard , nor could Wood recall that ho had over seen him adorned with that symptom of manhood. It was im possible thatTio should be a hul.-oa ; his position iu the bunk , his onsy , solf-pos- tossed manner , not brazen , but natural and innocent. No , it was a mibtuko. The next day , there being several Mexican merchants to start for Vera Uruz , Mr. Henry Yorke of Wood & Co. , was dispatched with them in the morning stage. Ho went well armed , and had the name of being a fighting man. But as yet no crowd of Mexican passengers has frightened a band of robbers from its ontcrprlro , and so , ai sunribo , Yorko discovered two small squads of horsemen bearing down on the stage from opposite directions. "Tho are six of them , " he said , "and wo are nine men , with only ono woman. Are wo to fight gentlemen or shall wo surrender ? " ' Mexicans never surrender , " cried ono of them , "Wo will light to the last drop of blood. " "Vos , alwava , " answered the other oighl . nl ht.shall bo killed ; oh , I shall bo killed ! " shrieked the frightened \\oinun. "Wo shall defend you , Sonoru , " they declared. The horsemen drew near. All were masked and armed. Ono party jKissodtho coach , wheeled and in stantly roturded. Meanwhile Yorko sprung from the stage , which had boon stopped , and calling to hlu fellow-pas sengers to join him , fired hlariflo at the nearest of the gang nnd killed him. Ho then began discharging his revolver ver , as they closed in on him , and lookIng - Ing about for hit ) companions discolored thoin all in tholrscats , pallid spectators of his recklessness. In nn other instant a pistol ball struck him down. Evidently the Indrones had only eon- tempt for the Mexican passenger's , for they rode directly forward to the fallen American , whose body was morollossly hacked In pieces with'their snbros , for a warning to all those who resisted their robberies. The entire treasure of Wood & Co. was taken from the person ot YorUoand his valise ; and the passengers , the lady not oxeopted , wore robbed ot every ar ticle they possessed , oven to their outer clothing. When the ladroncs left , their captain opened an embroidered jacket , revealing the form of a woman , and cried out with a sneer , "You are men , Adios. " When the stage , returning , entered the patio of the Hotel Iturbid , with the body of Mr. Yorko , it was mot by Mr. Wood , to whom the lady passenger de clared that his partner had boon killed by nn Englishman of the band , whoso lower face was ruddy , narrow and thin , ending in a little shadowy beard ; that ho had reached into the coach and shot Yorko in the back , through the open doorway of the opposite side , as ho was firing rapidly at the gang , and that , as he withdrew his head his beard dropped from his chin and she had secured it , At 10 o'clock that morning ho wont to the English bank with the woman , and prosontud a check for payment : As the teller laid down the money , ho saw the little wad of board on the counter , picked it up and looking at it curiously , said : "What is thisV" At the same moment Mr. Wood discovered that his companion trembled violently and was becomingly alarming palo. and lost no time in leaving the bank. The woman was sure of the identity of the man , and would listen to no pos sibility of her mistake. As for Mr. l-'tl- gar Wood ho was confounded , but he 'did the customary thing , and sot an English detective on the track of Mr , Carlos Watllls1 the teller ot the English bank of Mexico , Tlio next payment wont to the line in charge ofa paymaster and a mounted guard , of whom thui'hief was one of the most successful ladroues of Mexico , rind who gave siJo conduct to the. treasure for which lie well . ure ) wiw paid.- Two months passed. No outward sign indicated any depravity on thi } part of Mr.Vatiils. . He lived modestly , and boo'tnod a retiring , rat he r studious man. HJSMilo dissipation was his horseback riito each mor.ning and night. The time had conic for another pay ment to , the moil of tile contractor , and again ho determined to 'go in person' with the money , and by stugo. This time , ho selected a day when a fair com plement of Mexican men , having.uom- incrciul relations with Vem Crux.would travel , and wont accompanied also by two Americans iirincd with rilles.and revolvers. The English detective with H com panion , both well armed , rode out in the biuno direction a half hour after the stugo loft. The road had not been so infested of late , but the American's understood 'tho danger to which they were exposed in the transportation of treasure , and made their disj > o ; ilion accordingly. Mr. Wood and ono com panion occupied the front seat of tlio coach looking to the rear ; the third man of the party sat with the driver , as being a crude shot with a Winches ter rifle. Wlien they stopped for coffee , at 8 o'clock , no one had appeared to molest th stage or create suspicion. AH they left the little inn the detective appeared in sight , but the sUige mitde no delay , and the party were again on tbiiir way. Suddenly tlio inside passengers do- teotod the effort of thq driver to stop his cumbrous team , and hoard the voice of an American by his side shout to him , "If you stop , I'll kill you ; drive on and drive hard. " Then a rillo shot and another Shout as ho passed down his rillo , and called for a fresh quo , which , ho received at ouco. Mr. Wood and his companions , look ing from the coach , saw they were pur sued by eight horsemen , who were now within'20U yards'at the rear. Leaning from the coach window he cried out to the driver , "If these fellows catch im , you are a dead muni" The threat told wonderfully on the speed of the team. Meanwhile the band approached and the three Americana fired together , throwing the ladrones into confusion and forcing a halt ; but they rallied at once and six horsemen of the eight were drawing near when the driver's companion by another shot brought a man to the ground. At thin moment the dotoctivu and his guard appeared in the rear of the band and M. Wood ord ered the driver to slow up. The robbers - ' bors discovered the trick , for turning they saw the reinforcements in their rear and lost no time iti leaving thu r.ond and making off across the valley towards the mountains. The stage mot no further advorituro , and Mr. Wood was ableto return to Mexico iu a week. The afternoon rif his arrival ho accompanied the English bank manager iind the detective to the hospital of Gaudalunn and found there , to tno surprise of tlio manager alone , the teller , Mr. Carlos Wutlils , suffering from a shattered lug. It is not my intention to mystify the reader nor to prolong uncertain coudi tions in this little sketch , i maythere fore Bay , without more ado , that Mr. Watfill's character hud boon known to the detective who had followed him to Mexico to get possession of his person , if possible.for uttering counterfoil Bank of England notes. And now an oppor tunity offered by which the Mexican government could rid iteolf of : i rogue , and do a courteous act toward n nation whose good will it dcfaired , although diplomatic relations between the two countries were suspended. If Wutlils was tried in Mexico it was by no moans certain that a conviction could be secured under thodo laws. It was indeed , a chunco if the Americans might not. be made 10 suffer for killing men who had not attacked them. In this view of the case Mr. Watllls was sent , across the water with the English olllcor , and having been convicted in London of the crime of counterfeiting , was sentenced to twenty ycara1 penal servitude. iV Desperate Kiicounlcr. .luck Crawford recently told n reporter the following blood-curdling story : "Well , I'll toll you , but you mustntt give it away in print. It occurred in 18SO , when "Gcroninm was on the war path with his murderous Apaches. I was out deer hunting near a range of mountains west of my homo , and about noon unwiddled my norse on a mcbii , or piece of high table land , and after picketing the animal out in the grass sat down to cat bomo cold lunch from my saddle pocket. After finishing the lunc.h I concluded U ) lot the horse graze for a while , und leisurely strolled out on n long arm of the nicna , the sides of which wore very precipitous a script perpendicular wall extend 600 feel to the plain below.
