An unfortunate episode closed the week's
record , when a prominent brokerage unit
bnnklng house was obliged to send notice to
the Stock exchange that It had been falsely
announced as having failed.
Circulated 1'nUo ItrpnrtK.
A Wall street news agency had boon
guilty of a blunder , or worse , In sending
out a bulletin representing that this firm
had made nn assignment. Wall street Is so
ncutoly nervous that it Is icady almost to
bcliovo nn.v thing , nnd under such conditions
even the staunches ! and strongest men nnd
Institutions can bo damaged by rumor-
mongers. The flrm whose credit was today
impugned has close Vandcrbllt relationship.
It U not Improbable that the fact will cause
proceedings to bo Instituted looking to the
punishment of the rumor-mongers , who have
been cither wholly unprincipled or most in
excusably reckless.
How Wall street feels on this score is
aptly nnd tersely rollccted in a telegraphic
letter which the Stock exchange house of
WocrishoolTcr & Co. sent out tonight to its
clients nnd correspondents Wocrlshoeffer
ACo. represent the "most conservative cle

opinion of the brokerage nnd b inking com

liquidation on the exchange accompanied bv
all kinds of minors and a vast mass of abso
lute and malicious lies.
To Protect Wall Strct 1'lrnm.
"Tho latest culminated today in the report
of an assignment by fl. B. Hollins & Co ,
which induced the ilrm to send a formal
letter to the Stock exchange , which was
read from the rostrum , denouncing thcso
rumors as absolutely false. They announce
their perfect solvency nnd that should end
the matter. It is now time for decent people
to take a hand nnd close the mouths of
those who at.irt by Insinuation and end in
circulating what are almost formal state
ments , affecting credit nnd prices to incrc.vso
their ill-goiten gains. Any man who oven
ic peats in good faith should be compelled to
dlsoloso his authority or bo considered uer-

The initial hcrosso game of the season
was plajcd at the old ball park jesterday
afternoon between the teams of Oniiha and
Lincoln before a rather attenuated but very
select crowd of spectators.
Owing to some little hitch In the pre
liminary arrangements the ball was
not put in motion until lulf past
4 , thirty minutes after the scheduled time.
When it was started , however , there was no
dilljd illy ing. Doth teams had the lust ot
local pride nnd glory upon thorn , and for two
hours thcro was sufllclcnt vigorous action to
hiuo stirred the sluggish blood of an
anchorite. The crowd scorned to
enjoy the siwrt immensely , nnd
at various stages in the conflict at
tested to their appreciation with the
most vociferous chceis At 4:110 : Major
Dcmls faced the ball off and the bittlo of
the athletes began. There was but llttlo
uroparatory skirmishing , but from the very
jump it was Greek against Greek , the Grec
ians Jrom the shoics of the Sillno rivulet
Rotting decidedly the worst of it , both as to
the concerted action as a team and
individual work. In passing the ball
Captain Peddio's white shirts displajcd by
far the best judgment , and at thu termina
tion of thirty-tiro minutes of llio liveliest ex
ercise imaginable Prlckett sent the llttlo
sphere hurling between the Hags of the Cap
ital City's goal amidst the partisan shouts of
the crowd.
In this opening bout Messrs. O'llanloy ,
Dorn , Prickott and McDougal covered them
selves with dust and glory for Omaha ,
and Mockett , Grifilths , G iscoigiio and John
son did likewise for Captain Walton's side.
Tlio umpires were Messrs Anderson and
O'Day , and referee H. Jones , all of whom
acquitted themselves cicditabl.v and com
petently.
After the customary ten minutes rest the
knights of catguttcd crosse were again at It ,
Lincoln lighting as if the fate of the
nation depended on the outcome.
The Oniahas , too. were strung
taut by the excitement of the Hist Innings ,
and fought like Trojans Their most deter

naught , and at the tcimination of ten brief
minutes the supple ami active Grinilhs
caught the ball In hlsiciossc , made a splendid

Itaum has been issued by Commissioner

The older sajsth.it hereafter all pending

donee ib Hied , the object aimed at being n
piactical return to the method in
vogue piior to Jbb'J. Whenever
any evidence shall bo received in

snapped to the case and the llio card will
bo at once placed at the top of the file box of
the examiner in whoso chaigo the case may
bo Whenov or any examiner shall h iv o dis
posed of all thu cases on his desk additional
cases presented bjp the file cards at the

action , and tlio proper call for evidence shall
bo made , or pending inquiries answered , or
the case , if found to bo complete , shall at
onio bo submitted to the boaid of review
for llinil adjudication.
It is calculated that under the new ad
ministration a chock is going to bo given to
the rapid giowth of the pension list , oven
without the tissistanco of any legislation
When the pension appropiialion bill was
passed at the last session of i ongiess It was
expected that the amount nppropiiatcd
would bo about f 15,000,000 short of the ex
penditures for this fiscal jcar It was an
ticipated that a dollcicncy of that amount
would have to bo piovidcd for at the coining
session , 'llio average number of oiiglnal
pension cases passed on each month is
expected , however , to bo but about ono-thlid
what it was under the former administration
of the odlco , and that instead of a dcllclcncj'
thcro will bo a suiplus of about $0,000,000.

Inquiry nt the Department of Justice as to

Nowhere is it made compulsory to close the

an opinion on the subject , as It will probably
como to him for judicial determination , but
prominent oniclals in the Dop.utinent of Jus
