Scale.
Cornered.
Under the head "An American Cor-
; ior , " n rccnnt number of the St. Jnmcs
Gazette prints the following clover sat
ire :
From Eoklcl U logins , President of the Now
York ft PorUopolh railroad , to John Stam
ford , General Manager of the sumo.
Ni\V YOUK , Sopt. 1 , 189 . My Dear
Sit1 : nm sorry that you wcro unable
to coma to Now York to consult with
mo further on the subject of our last
conversation. I hivvo , however , laid
the matter before flvo of our directors ,
and they nil agree that now will bo an
excellent time to depress the stock and
recover at lower quotations what wo
have sold nn the late riso.
The road is doing EO marvellously
well that at the next soinl-annual meet
ing of directors wo shall bo able to per
manently increase our dividends. That
will give the stock a grout impetus ,
and send its price many points higher.
Therefore , before this meeting it is ne
cessary to do something to break the
price , nnd obtain some more stock for
ourselves. A very largo quantity of
our shares are hold in London , and wo
must contrive to make the Englishmen
sell ; and , as you know , it takes a good
heavy fall , with considerable bud news ,
to force the Britishers to part with
anything they fancy.
The railway horizon has been so clear
lately that a good , sharp war ot rates
would have a most demoralizing cITcct
on the market , and would undoubtedly
send prices tumbling. Wo will , there
fore , at once inaugurate ono by reduc
ing rates on all classes of business. Our
financial condition is so good that a
short railway war will notdo , us much
harm ; and , of course , as soon as wo
have forced the price of the stock down
sufficiently low , and got as much of it
as wo want , .the rates will bo restored
and the war cease. I have already
"gone short" of the stock.
As boon as you can make the necessary
nrrangoinonts , issue an announcement
that , on account oftho underhand way
the other roads are behaving and the
vast amount of secret rate-cutting now
in forced in solf-do-
progress , wo are - -
fence to reduce our rates. Very faith
fully yours , E. HioQiNS.
From John Stamford to his Brother Frank
Stamford.
PoHKorous , Sopt. 4. Dear Prank :
You have oflou asked mo to give you a
tip by which you could make something
on the market ; but I have always bcon
afraid to toll you any secrets. However ,
ns you are now in England and several
thousand miles away from the specula
tive conlor , 1 don't mind giving you a
tip.New
New York & Porkopolis stock is now
, soiling at 105 ; before you got this let-
"tor it will have dropped to 95 ; a week
later it will bo at 00 ; and at that llguro
you can safely buy it , for that is to be
the bottom , 'in thrco months from now
it will bo soiling at 120. Your affec-
. tionutc brother , JOHN.
Extract from tho"Now YorkStockbrealcor,1
Scptemb'cr 10.
The announcement that the New York
& Porkopolis railroad had made a re
duction of 60 per cent on all classes oft
traflic fell like a thunderbolt on the Exchange -
t
change yesterdayand gave the "bears"
.their long-wished-for opportunity to
smash the markot. Prices wont down
with a runnnd , Now York& Porkopolis ,
which opened at 105 , sold , below par.
The manner in which this and certain
other stocks wore raided plainly showed
the existence of a strong "boar" clique
organized to depress prices. The other
roads will meet the cut at onco. and the
situation is , to say the least , decidedly
gloomy.
Another oxtr.tct from same , September 1G ,
The railroad war waxes liercor and
fiercer. The Now York & P.orkopolis
lias made a still further reduction in
passenger rates , and is already carrying
freight at nominal prices. Strange to
Baytho market has shown a remarkable
undertone ; and although the "bears"
have vigorously assailcu it , they have ,
during the past two days , been unable
to make any impression on prices.
Twice they have forced Now York &
Porkonolis down to 95 ; but at that fig
ure it has shown remarkable elasticity
and almost immediately rebounded to
90.97. Largo blocks have bean taken
for London account , and it seems as
though some strong parties on the other
Eido of the Atlantic wcro sustaining this
markot.
From Ezclticl HlgRlns to John Stnmfor'l.
Nuw YOUK , Sept. 17. Dear Stom-
ford : I find that it is absolutely impos
sible to buy How York" & Porkopolis
stock without running the price up.
The instant a bid is made for it it
bounds up as though cornered ; and RO
far from being able to got "long" of
the stock , I have not yet been able to
cover my "shorts. " My broker tolls mo
that London has boon purchasing
heavily , and that all my sales have been
talcon on English account. Tbo rate
war has lost its elTcct , and so now wo
must have a big strike all over the sys
tem , It is no use doing things by
halves. If we don't break the market
somehow wo bhull bo unable to meet
our contracts.
Therefore , issue a general order that
on account of the heavy losses ttio road
has recently incurred the wages of all
engineers , conductors , switchmen , dro
mon , trackmen , yardmen and mechanics
lira reduqod by0 percent. Not a man
on the road will stand that and in a
wcok wo shan't have a train running on
the on tire system. If that doesn't bcaro
these Englisk fanciers of our stock into
soiling I shall bo surprised. Yours very
faithfully , E. HiaaiNS.
Extract from tlio New York Stocltbrcaker ,
Oct&bcr ,
Yesterday , ns had boon expected for
some days pust'a glgiintio strike took
place on the Now York & Porkopolis ,
nnd not awheel hns boon turned during
the last twenty-four hours. In spite of ! ?
this gloomy outlook the market has
shown extraordinary strength , and all
efforts of the "boars" have boon un III
availing. London appeared as a buyer
on ovcry blump , and fresh purchases of
Now York & Porkopolis were made 3fK
the Britishers. The porclstoncy with
which this stock has bocn bought for
foreign account is . - . - .
a pu/--.lo to the
"etroot" and well known -
a broker to
day in commenting on it ron rlted that
there was a mauvtiis quart u'houru in
Btoro for Eouie one.
Another extract from same October 10.
The wildest excitement rolgnod on
' "Clwngii" yesterday. N.O sooner had
the goner sounded thun an excited
crowd gathered around the Now 1'orlc
fc Poi-konolia corner , and bidding for
that otocu commenced ; but while tliorc
wore dozens of blotters with orders to
buy , there wore nppurontly no sollors.
and the stock was rapidly bid up amidst
the wildest excitement. It jumped flvo
nnd six points at n time until it stood at
180 , and nt that figure some purchases
wore Directed ; but only enough stock
was forthcoming to whotlho appetite of
these who wanted If nnd then H con
tinued its upward career until it reached
2-50 , nt which prlco it now stands. Many
"boar" votoraiiB have fallen in the com
bat ; nnd it is rumored that a largo and
well known operator , who Is also n rail
road president , is in trouble. If this report -
port bo true , some curious revelations
may bo expected.
Another extract from same , October 11.
The deal in Now York & Porkopolis
culminated yesterday with the most dis
graceful revelations. Mr. Ezekiel Hlg
glns , president of the road , announced
that ho was unable to meet his engage
ments , being heavily short on the stock ,
which had been cornered by a clique of
London capitalists , the banking firm of
Brnchrach Brothers being said to bo at
its head. With his failure was also an
nounced that ot five directors of the
same road. What n reflection' on our
national credit. The directors and
president of ono of our largest
corporations forced into bankruptcy
through "bearing" the shares of the
company of which they are the head.
It appears now that the war of rates
and tlio strldo wore both Inaugurated
for the express purpose of smashing the
marlcot ; but that by some moans Brach-
raoh brothers discovered the plot , and
immediately organi/.cd a syndicate to
corner Now York & Porkopolis. The
brokers of this syndicate had orders to
buy every share of that road olTorod for
sale ; and not only has it now obtained
entire control of the company , but It
has laid hors do combat some of our
foremost , and apparently . most . unscru- . _ . _ _
- 4 - t t
pulous , operators. President Hlgglns
and General Manager Stamford both
resigned last night ,

LONDON , Oct. 15. Dear John :
Thanks for the tip. I had no money to
invest myself ; so I wont to Alfred
Brnchrach , of Brachrach Brothers , and
ottered to give him some information.
Ho said if ho used it ho would pay
handsomely , so I gave him your letter.
He sent mo a cheque for 1,000 to-day.
Hope you did woll. How the stock did

Origin of "My Uncle. "
The term uncle's , as applied to a
pawnbroker's shop , sajs a writer in
Notes and Queries , is said to bo a pun
on the Latin word uncus , a hook.
Pawnbrokers employed a hook to lift
articles pawned before spouts wore
adopted. "Gone to uncus , " therefore ,
is exactly tantamount to the modern
phrase , "up the spout. " In French the
concierge of a prison is called uncle , be
cause the prisoners are "kept there in
pawn'1 by the government. In the
seventeenth century a usurer was called
"my unclo" in the Walloon provinces
because of his near connection with the
spendthrifts , called in Latin nepotos ,
nephews.

The untimely death which a'nnually
carries off thousands of human Doings

Ono of the most alarming symptoms of
this dread disease is. In fact , the in
eradicable hope , which lurks in the
heart of the victim , preventing him
from takincr timely stops to arrest the

The recent death ot Jiimos C. Flood ,
the money king , hns rocnllod his pro
gress from poverty to nHluonco nnd In-
liucnco nnd naturally recalls to the Now
York Telegram the circumstances that
in half a century or loss of time have pro
duced so many mon whoso dollars run up
to the seven figures.
Ono does not have to go very far back
to discover the ploboinn origin of some
of our most wealthy citizens.
John Mnokay Flood's partner In days
gone by who has married his daughter
to a prince , once wore on his hands thorough
rough blisters raised by the pick of the
minor. Flood was the partner of ' 'Billy"
O'Brien in the proprietorship of "Tho
Auction Lunch Rooms , " that nourished
about twenty years ago on Washington
street , opposite the San Francisco Post-
ollico. They wore small dealers , the
lunch supplied was cooked by Mrs.
Flood and brought down to the saloon
by her. It consisted of a round of beef ,
a few potatoes and some broad , butter
and radishes. The two other bonanza
kings wcro Mackay and Fair. Flood
and 6'Brion ran the saloon to make
money for working tlio Consolidated
Virginia. Machay attended to the
minor's work and Fair attended to the
deals. They have later had "not a few
troubles and bickerings that caused
dissensions , but the money still stays
with each.
It is not so many dozen years since
the founder of the Astor family came to
this country as a small dealer in furs.
Ho bought land where it could bo ob
tained for almost one of the tunes of an
old tambourine , and held it until it
promised too much to bo easily parted
with. Its value grow at oven a greater
rnto than did his progeny. The disas
ters of 1837 wore taken advantage of by
William B. Astor in that memorable
year. Ho bought up real estate at ex
tremely low prices , and so assiduously
devoted his talents , time and money to
the acquisition of land that ho had
825,000,000 worth of It to divide at his
death in 1875. This land "corner , " as
it maybe called , which each generation
has added to. has gathered , as the fixed
stone is said to gather the moss , the
almost fabulous pile that has made the
nnmo and fame of the family known in
this and every other land where Mam
mon has its votaries.
There is Jay Gould , whoso wealth
has boon estimated at $300,000,000. Ho
caino to Now York from a little village
up the state with nothing'but a plucky
spirit , a lively temperament nnd a pat
ent for a mousetrap "and n good tr.vp
it was , " ns his son George said recently
on the witness stand in one of the city
courts. Since then Gould lias dealt in
traps designed for bigger game for
lambs , bulls and even boars and has
become in financo.a weasel that is hard
to catch asleep. Previous to the death
of his wife whom ho loved dearly ho
was known as a humorous follow at
times ; and when , not long ago , stories
concerning his bad state of health wore
circulated , ho olTorcd proofs of their
falsity in the fact that he "could shake
Wall street to its foundations by simply
standing on the steps of the Slock Kx-
cnango building and waving his hand. "
Cyrus W. Field began life ns a clerk
in n New England store , and was once
employed by the late A. T. Stewart at
the munificent salary of SSOayoar. This
was not quite to his liking and ho took
to soiling newspapers. Ho had a faculty
of keeping money and knowing how to
invest it. His pile is estimated at abaut
$20,000,000 , and if you were to ask him
how ho inado it ho would answer :
"Hard work. That will accomplish any
thing. " Ho received , it is said , $ -500,000
from Colonel Elliott F. Shepard for his
newspaper property , the Mail and Ex
press.
Shepard who , by the way , is also a
millionaire , but who was simply a poor
lawyer until luck secured him an nl-
linnco with ono of the Vanderbilt girls
has already derived moro fame from
his newspaper property than Field
could over hope to attain as a news
paper man. Love gave Shepard his
million , but to the bible ho owes his
fame.
Andrew Carnegie , the author of
"Triumphant Democracy , " began life's
labors as a boy in a cotton mill. Ho was
successively engineer , telegraph
messenger , operator , railroad divi
sion superintendent and oil specu
lator. Ho is now a 'millionaire
iron manufacturer , and-not unmindful
of his early days. He has two hobbles ,
co-operation and education , and unsel
fishly devotes money and time to their
propagation. Ho says "a man who dies
worth n million dollars dies in dis
grace. " That ho is in earnest is shown
in the fact that ho gives away , every
years , seven or eight times as much
money as ho spends.
Senator John J. Jones , of Nevada ,
who is several time a millionaire , is the
most popular senator who visits Now
York. The announcement in any of
the dailies to the olToct that ho is in
town is sufllciont to bring to him
crowds of visitors. But the friends
whom the senator most welcomes are
not members of 'first class sonioty , but
horny-handed sons of toil with whom
the world has not dealt very leniently.
They know the senator from the early
days of California , when ho worked be
side thorn for a day's pay. Ho doesn't
forgot old. tlmoa , or fall to remember
the old friends who shared the vicissi
tudes of his younger days. Some years
ago ho mot with reverses that nearly
reduced him to his old position at the
foot of fickle fortune , but a boom in the
Consolidated Virginia mine sot him on
his foot again and ho once moro rolls in
millions.
Potter Palmer , the Chicago million
aire , earned his first salary as a clerk in
a little country store in a Pennsylvania
village. Ho madtfini money by Judi
cious investments inrlTal ostnto in Chicago
cage , and though Ml lost S2.COO,000 , In
the Chicago Ilro nnd had to borrow on
mortgages SI ,500,000 , to retrieve him
self , ho is ngaln qri typ , with several
snare millions to push his schemes
along. r *
"Llttlo Jake ? ' Soltgmnn , of Michigan ,
who has n couple of millions at his com
mand , is a director in nine banks and
four railroads , and is the owner of a

doesn't amount to much , as ho stand0

St. Paul has n man who owes his for
tune to a streak of good luck. His nnmo
is Donnls Ryan , nnd ho began his cti-
roor on a western railroad with a pick
and shovel. That was in the days when
labor was highly repaid , nnd , as Dennis
was very tlU'ilty , ton years' savings
placed him above dependence. Ho al
ways had nn eye to the future , and ono
investment of $5,000 in aColoradcnnlnp ,
which ho made a few years ago , is said
to have netted him $2,000,000. ,
Edwin Blowltt , president of the First
National bank of Fremont , Nob. , is re
garded as n typical Ncbroskan by his
follow citizens. At the ago of thirteen
he drove an ox-team across the plains ,
barefooted and friendless ; at olghtcori
ho was $10,000 in debt. Ho is now' at
the head of ono of the largest horse
ranches in the west and worth over a
million.
The women of America who have
sprung to wealth from poverty in a few
years would make a creditable list , a
fair sample being Mrs. Parnn Stevens ,
who owns.tho Victoria hotel In Now
York , and who was in her girlhood a
waitress in a'Lowoll , ( Muss. ) restaurant.
Her husband began life as a stable boy.
Both are now worth $0,000,000 , and the
hotel is the headquarters for the English
aristocracy of this country.
Disarming ; nn Unseen P.ic.
'This was sometime a paradox , " as Hnmlot
says. Since , however , the people of America
and other lands have ucou enabled to nit
Hostottcr's Stomach Uittcrs against that un

but an easy po sibility. Wherever malaria
evolves Its misty venom to poison the air ,
and decaying unwholesome vegetation im
pregnates the water , there , in the very
stronghold of miasma , is the auxiliary potent
to disarm the fee nnd ussuro efllcient protec
tion. Fever nnd ague , bilious remittent ,
dumb ague and ague cake , no matter how
tenaciously they have fastened their clutch
on the system , are llrst forced to relax their

chiefly recommend the bitters to persons
dwelling In malaria-cursed localities , for it is
a certain buckler of defense against which
the enemy is powerless. Cures , likewise ,
