BROADBRIM'S J. Y. LETTER.
One often hears of a man being In the
Insldo of tbo ring on Wall Street, and he
Is supposed to have somo tallsmanlc secret
by which be bas positive knowledgo of tho
hour when stocks will go Up or dow.
Never was there a greater fallacy or blind
er error, as the wrecks that line tbo street
will show, and these thoughts are suggest'
edbytbo announcement tbat James It.
Keene Is now figuring In tho Sugar Trust
ono of the most gigantic speculations
yet conceived, and at present, to all ap
pearances, carried to completion, when tho
profits accruing from this thrifty culld will
not be lsss than twenty-live millions of
dollars a year.
It is now about twenty years ago since a
slim, boyish, bright-looking fellow ap
peared on tho Stock Board of San Francis
co. Ho had not been there long before he
began to be feared, for as a mad plunger
the Golden City by the sea had never seen
his equal. At that time the San Francisco
Stock Board contained as deiperalo a set
of gamblers as ever were congregated in
auy body m the world; but among that
reckless crew the boldest held their breath
when Jim Eccne came Into tho pit. Cool
as an iceberg, impassive as tbo Spbynx,
losses made no more Impression on bim
than winnings, and in a very short time
Jim Keene was regarded as a millionaire
Somo one, some day, will write the history
of .the Big Bonanza, when millions were
played with as boys play marbles in the
street. It was a wild time, tbat mining
crazo, when Consolidated Virginia sold
for twenty-five dollars a share and paid
two dollars a month' dividend on that.
What could it mean? The Floods, the
O'Briens, tho Mackays and Fairs grew
rich; but thousands upon thousands were
ruined. Yet In the midst of these dlaas
tcrs ono man stood unshaken as a rock,
and that man was James R. Keene. How
much was he worth? Nobody knew. He
was .a high roller, but no one had the
guage of his bank account. One thing,
lioweyer, Swas certain, that his check
seemed good for any amount for which he
saw fit to draw It. Tho field of speculation
got too narrow for Mr. Keene after tho
crash came; so Mr. Kcono came to New
York. lie had beard there was a person
named Gould living somewhere around
hero, wbo occasionally did a little specu
lattng, so ho thought he would come on
and down bim, and it was given out by his
San Francisco admirers that there was not
room enough on Wall Stieet for two such
magnates as Jay OQUld anil Jamos IU
Keene,' and that one of tbem would have
to go to the wall, and that ono would not
be Jim Keene. It 'is not now necessary to
go Into history of (his California plunger.
lie was soon a recognized power on the
street, and as If the excitement of gambling
in millions of stocks was not enough to
work off his extra steam, he had to get a
racing stable on which he lavished count
less thousands; nor was he satisfied till
Foxhall, ridden by tbo English" jockey
Archer, crowned bim with tho honors of
the Grand Prix, when be presented the
winning jockey tbo cntiro stake of twenty
five thousand dollars. With that
triumph his luck changed, and he bas never
seen a lucky day since. Four yars ago ho
engineered a mighty wheat trust, and be
was going to corner all the wboat thero
was In tho market and ralso the price ot
the poor man's loaf. It required a bun-
dred millions of dollars to back up the
scheme, but a lot of nefarious rascals were
found ready to speculate on the people's
life-blood or anything else, so tbat they
could hoard up their Ill-gotten gold. The
syndicate engineered by Keene bought
right and left of futures, and they thought
they had the market sure.but the Almighty
defeated them. Ono of the most bountiful
harvests that the country bad seen for
years camo to lbs aid of the people, and
Keene. with his band of piratical confeder
ates, went to tho wall. No one knows
how much he sank, but he went out of
Bight llko a stone in the sea. Several
times since wo baye heard reports that
Jim Keene 'was getting on his legs, but
up to the time of the Sugar trust James
Keene was a yery lame man. It Is not
certain that he Is In any way connected
with it now; It may bo only a Wall Street
flyer.
This week Musgraye fc Co., highflyers In
the stock board went undtr. Years ago
they wcte a power on the street, and It Is
putting It very mild to say tbat their check
was good for a million. To-day tbey are
utterly and hopelessly bankrupt and ruined
Yet, for twenty years they were supposed
to be on the Inside of everything. It is
not many years since that Henry Clews,
as smart as a steel trap, went under for
more than a million, and he is one of the
very few men who, getting badly tripped
up on Trail streot, ever get on their legs
again. Of course,comblnat!on aro formed
to Bull or Bear certain stocks on which
the parties forming tbo pool have a corner; the Advocate, in Lcblghton and the sur
but there Is no such thing as a general rounding community, many of whom are
knowledge of the entire market, and there friends and acquaintances of mine, I take
are tlmss when Jay Gould, Yanderbllt,
Russell Sago or Addison Cammack are just
as likely to get caught as a greenhorn from
tho country,
Wo aro now approaching another specu
lative season and it is a good time to raise
tbo danger signal, There Is a great deal
of capital In the country seeking employ-
ment; the rates of Interest aro yery low,
and holders ot capital get desperate, and
feel like taking a little flyer on almost
anything. This Is best seen on the race-
courses, of which there aro several. At
Sheepshead Bay the Futurity Stakes were
run for last week, and the purse was sixty
thousand dollars; but this sum, large as It
seems, !s all paid for by the people. There
were twenty thousand people to tee the
race, and the admission fees with grand
stana ana pauuocK privileges were over
thirty thousand dollars. A hundred book-
makers paid a hundred dollars each for the
privilege of makltiR beta i then tliero was
tho restaurant prlYlleco and Uio beer ptlr-
Hcrc and the tlgar privilege and lots of
other privileges, and tbo entries of the
horses, so tbat tbo bli? purso was all paid
for by the people, and a round million
chanced bands on tbo raco.
Now, while there Is no doubt that there
Is a Rood deal of jockeying, pulling and
dishonest driving, there Is a preat deal less
than Is commonly supposed, and the best
proof of this is that in one-half of the
races this year It was the bookmakers ana
tho gamblers who lost tho tnonoy, and Jt
was tho outsiders who won.
Therefore I say, look out for tbo stock
market, and no matter how alluring too
bait, don't bite; If you ,do too will surely
come to grief. Remember, slow and sure
is the best lu the long run.
Tho amusement season Is fairly upon us
and It opens well. Tho plays presented
for popular support are above the average
of former years, and those presented by
tbo Madison Squaro and other first-class
companies are unexceptionable In charao
let and tone. Tho amusements of a peo-
plo are a matter of very grayo concern
and It Is in the Interest of everybody,
church-goers or non church-goers, that the
amusements afforded at our theatres shall
bo of tho highest moral character. No
estimate can bo formed of tbo effect tbat
tho Afadlson Squaro Company has bad
upon tho theatre-going public. It may be
Said to have begun with Hazel Klrke, as
produced by the Mallorlcs years ago,
During the phenomenal run of that won
derful piece it was no uncommon thing to
see dozens of clergymen with their families
In tho boxes Mr. Bedchcr and Doctor
Collycr being very frequent visitors, At
last tbo Madison Square Theatre became
recognized as the family theatre par ex
cellence of tho metropolis, and tbat char
acter Jt bas maintained from that day to
this. The absolute necessity of an estab
lishment of this kind has not failed to lui
press Itself on' our neighbors on the other
side of tho river, the tiro houses there have
already adopted tho Madison Squaro stan
dard the Amphion Theatre and the
Grand Opera House, conducted by two of
the most enterprising managers to bo
found In either city, Messrs. Knowles and
Jforrls.
As a test of tbo Improvement In public
taste, the Grand Opera opened this week
with the great Jladlson Squaro success of
Captain Swift, played by the Madison
Squaro Company. Tho play Is clean all
through and powerful In every act; there Is
nono of tho mawkish twaddle of the so
called Society play; virtue is rewarded and
sin punished, and the moral Is boyond all
praise. Tbat this Is what tho public want
Is evidenced by the fact that the houses
have' been crowded all tho week, while at
tho Amphion, tbo late Bartley Campbell'
play of Siberia has been tho leading
attraction, receiving the most flattering
support.
GUmore's jubilee at Manhattan Beach
Is always a great event and thousands of
people have crowded Coney Island to do
honor to the great leader. We all loye
Patrick Sarsfield GUmoro, and It goes
without saying that the women adoro him.
and no wonder, for lie is not only a great
musician but an Irish gentleman from the
crown of his head to tho sole of his foot
and he has under his baton one of tho fin
est bands on the planet. You can't con
sider GUmore and his band In two parts
thcro Is only one bis band Is Gilmorc,and
GUmoro is bis band. Long may ho be
spared to us to render sweet music and
give Innocent and exquisite enjoyment to
thousands wbo bless his -name.
But as I mentioned a week ago, there Is
another mufllclandnwalbe boacU-at Brigh
ton who cannot bo Ignored, and that is
Anton Seldl, tho leader of the German
Opera. Seldl is a great leader too, and is
a favorite of tbo ladles, Who baye named
the Seldl Club after bim. Seldl Is a ffag-
ncrlte and deals largely In classic music,
much of which Is so highly keyed that one
has to be away, away up, to appreciate it
to tboso who can, It is yery fine, no doubt
but when I want to onjoy myself I gener
ally go to Manhattan where GUmoro and
his band are quite good enough for me.
By the way, speaking of music, the re
port comes to us In tangible shape that
Colonel Mapleson, of Her-Majesty's Opera,
Is going togiyeus another season of Italian
Opera. "Whom the gods would destroy
they
first make mad," and this would
seem to bo tho case with Mapleson. His
last break was when ho came hero with
Pattl four years ago, guaranteeing her five
thousand dollars a night to run against
Abbey, who had just opened the Metropol
Itau Opera House. Abbey had an 1m
mense company, and his expenses could
not have been much short of eight or ten
thousand dollars a performance. Maple-
sen's expenses were nearly the same. The
opcra-colng people, divided between tho
two bouses, did not pay the 'expenses.
Abbey lost a hundred thousand dollars aud
paid all his bills, wbllo Mapleson dodged
the sheriff and got out of town owing
everybody, and loaded with the curses of
actors, slugcrs, ballot cltls, scene shifters
and musicians. It was a complete and
disgraceful collapse, and I was In hopes
that wo were finally rid of tho manager of
Her Majesty's Opera. When ho lands no
doubt the sheriff will bo waiting to creet
Dim.
It was a delightful surprise on Saturday
night at the Academy when John L. Sulli
van announced himself as a candidate for
Congress from the wsthetlc city of Boston,
IKhat made It particularly unique, John
had his boxing gloves on at the time, and
a term of twelve months In the peniten
tlary in front of bim, John might make
first-rate Congressman for all that.

SPECIAL FROM JOHNSTOWN.
Johnstown, Sept. 17, '80.
Editor of Advocate:
For the benefit of the many readers of
pleasure in handing you a few lines of
news regarding our unfortunato town
Johnstown regarding which you all have
read so much since the great calamity that
has befallen the once prosperous and enter
prising little city.
During my recent short visit to your
growing little town, I haye been entirely
unable to answer tte multitudinous ques
tlons or my many inquiring friends, to
their satisfaction, and It may Interest them,
to read through your columns, an item re
gardlng the present condition of Johns-
towp, etc., etc
It affords me great pleasure to be able to
say that the town has considerably Improved
In many ways since the great disaster. The
work of cleaning up the debris, etc., which
bas been In the bands ot the state since Its
commencement after the flood, has made
decided progress, and is still being pushed
with the usual vigor, This can continue
for somo tlmo to come beforo reaching the
point of complcxtion. Tho streets, and
principal parts of town aro cleaned, and
travel and business Is going on In tho old
tlmo style. Tho work of cleaning tho cel
lars is a predominant object In this work at
present, and this Is being pushed with all
possible vigor.
Tho next great necessity Is tbo cleaning
of tbo Stony Creek and Conemaugh River
bordering on the town. Tho advisability
f having this work done promptly Is now
bolng Investigated by the State Board of
Health, ana wo oro alt hopeful of an early
movement in this matter by tho state. This
is not only a great task, but an important
measure In tho sanitary condition of the
town. It will also guard against overflows
rainy seasons where tbo banks of the
rlyers aro ycry low.
New wooden buildings, many of them
temporary houses, or shanties of an Iin
proved kind, as you would call them, are
rapidly spotting tho flooded district, and
this creates a hopeful spirit such as is nec
essary to assuro tho rebuilding of Johns
town. About three hundred of these
buildings are now scattered hero and there,
Many permanent houses, however, are also
on foot, and the doubt as to whether tho
town will ever be robnllt, Is entirely dis
carded. Business is opening up in all lines,
and there Is an upward tendeney In oyery
direction. Even thoso who have lost tbelr
all, and rcallzo that they can never reach
their, former level again, are going right
ahead, and are, seemingly, trying to at
least make the world all tho better for bay.
Ing lived In It. Tet, with all this life In a
business way, the great flood bas left Its
never-to-be-forgotten marks. Many of our
people aro apparently 15 yoars In advance
of their real ago Incident to the Ineffable
agony they suffered on the fatal Friday
nlgbt,and the Irreplaceable losses sustained
through this flood. The writer included.
Tho town Is In a yery healthy condition
at the present time, and nothing serious In
the way of epidemics Is now looked for by
our medical experts, who ha ne good
work In preserving tbo -sanitary condition
of tho town ever since' tho flood.
For tbo benefit of tboso people who are
anxious to build on higher grounds, and
thereby secure themselves against any fur
ther trouble by water, which trouble, how
ever, Is not likely to molest Johnstown
again, a site for a new to has been laid
out, northwest of Johnstown proper,which
is to be called "Westmont." This town
wlll.be reached by an Inclined Plane,belng
situated 000 feet higher than Johnstown
and will have all the conveniences that
Johnstown will enjoy. As thfs will be
placo of homes, everything has been done
toward selecting a very agreeable, location,
While this may diminish the future popu
lation of Johnstown proper, or old Johns
town, yet the business houses will
remain In the old locations, henco It will
bo no detriment to the rebuilding of the old
town.
Lots on this new sito will be ready for
sale within a few days, when all those wbo
desire to build a new home can secure
building lot at a low cost.
Few dead bodies aro being found at
present, yet many, no doubt, remain im
bedded In the sand. Yours Truly,
Wallace Mantz
