Nr.w YOIIK. Nov. 0. [ 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

Good bonds were linn and uniform. Thu

Indiana I'olltloH.
WABIIINOTUX , Nov C. [ 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.

After all had regaled. 'themselves of the
princely repast President Hughes set the ball
rolling by excusing himself from any orator
ical ( light by calling upon General
George S. Smith for a speech. The general
responded in his usual felicitous vein , nnd
concluded by stating that the captains of the
respective sides should be heard from. The
general nlso Toad a letter of regr.et from
Judge George B. Lake , ' who , while he was
with the banqueters in the spirit , was pre
vented by a press of important business from
bcjng there in person. Ho is ono of the
oldest members of the club and has always
taken a lively interest in its affairs.

Instead of calling on the e p'tiilns M the
general had suggested , President Hughes

because l'ip was on the winning side. The
mayor was an active memlxjr of the old
Onmha Sportsmen's club , which was or
ganized in IStW and remains intact to the
present day. His reminiscences of the hunt
ing in the early days were immeusoly en
joyed by all.
Captain Pannclce , of the losing side ,
was next called , and rifting lie
claimed exemption from any decjainatorj
effort inasmuch as ho did not "go out" pii tht
day of the hunt.
President Bechel succeeded. Ho Was pro
fuse in his thanks for such a square mcnl ,
and hoped they would invite him next year.
His views on the propagation and protection
of llsh and game struck a responsive chord
in the heart of every sportsman present.
B. E. B , Kennedy , president of the State
fish commission , nnd the original president
of the old Oiimhii Sixirtsman's club , was
next called upon , His remarks were dovotet
exclusively to the old days when the

Youth's Compunion : Mr. Edgai

As to other personal furniture , hii
comfortable figuro-was adorned with i
line gold watch possessing a nationa
reputation for beiii\'fy \ throughout the
republic ot Mexico , uud a- hat coveret
with gold lace and bungles that made i
the envy of all the b'ijaux in town.
Under these couditions Mr. Edgai
Woo < l entered the ten-mulo stage , tha
stood in the patio dt\ho Hotel Iturbldo ,
for a trip down thii country to pay of
three thousand laborers u month'i
wages.
The htago started out amid the usua
hubbub. The driver gathered up hii
lines , bhouted at all tlui mules togothei
and at each ono by name. 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.
As it was , however , the grand exhibi
tion of style nnd enterprise wag soon
over and the team settled down to the
comfort able hnbit of the country , a
very slow trot tin rather soft roads ,
while the pnssengor settled himself in
the corner , lighted a Vera Cruz cigar
and began to indulge in the pleasured
of immigration.
"This mouth , " ho considered , "will
cost , mo $ " 0,000 , for which outlay the
government pays mo 9100,000 , which is
$80.000 clear gaiH , In two more 1 shall

mired mo last night when I said my
adieu ; " and ho looked at his pistol , his
line watch and elegant hat a rlllo-ball
whistled through the couch window , fol
lowed by 11 command of "pararsol"
( halt. )
There is no discussing such nn order
given under such circumstrnccs.
It was not possible for Mr. Wood to
say just how no looked , but ho felt very
palo , when a pleasant , gentlemanly voice
at the window inquired , "Have I the
honor of addressing Senor Edgaro
Wood ? "
"That is my name , sir. "
"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 ,

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.

the following blood-curdling story :
"Well , I'll toll you , but you mustntt
