Mrs. Vane Disturb the Slumber of a Alan Who Masqueraded In Woman' Clothes-Ue Sold Corn Cur Without Poetry. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Hallstead, Dec. 22. Considerable ex citement was created in this quiet vil lage on Friday evening' by the arrest of a mysterious man who has been mas querading in woman's clothes, provid ing afflicted humanity hereabouts with a never-falling corn cure. The ped dler struck a popular chord in the hearts of Hallstead's citizens and dis posed of quantities of medicine suffi cient to render the town cornless for generations to come. After a success ful day's work she, or he, sought the boarding house of Mrs. Ettle Vance and paid for a night's lodging from the generous supply of halves and quar ters that jingled In her nurse. Mrs. Vance assigned the corn dortresa td sleeping apartments and returned to Iir-r household duties and general medi tation. As the corn angel, sunk to pleasant dreams upon one of Mrs. Vance's newly-renovated feather-beds. the landlady's suspicions were aroused by a report that reached her ears to the effect that others had had doubts as to the Bex .of the mysterious woman who had departed from the time-honored custom and sold corn cure without ac companying stanzas of poetry. She finally went up stairs and listened at the door of the lodger's room. ' Her bus plclons were confirmed by the resonant 1 snore that broke the stillness of the bight. She? was convinced that there was something wrong with her mys terious visitor. She therefore de manded admittance. This was mod estly refused. The landlady then ral lied her male boarders and stormed tne bedroom. The door was forced open and one of the boarders rushed in and caught the lodger by the neck and Held on until a constable arrived on the scene. The lodger whose slumbers 'had thus been rudely disturbed was taken over to. Great Bend and lodged In the lockup. At the bastlle the ped dler admitted his disguise and said that he had assumed It In order to more readily dispose of the corn cure. He stated that he had been on the road for about three weeks and had. worked Bcranton, Wllkes-Barre and other towns down the vallev. and thnt Mr Vance was the first inquisitive woman he had encountered. The prisoner was kept In the lockup Friday night and all day yesterday. As no one has preferred a formal charge gainst mm, it is probable that he will oe released toaay or tomorrow.

BRITISH INVENTORS SCARED They Are Frightened Into Parting with Their Holdings at a Sacrifice of Wild Yarns of America's Shaky Finaneial Condition. New Tork. Dec. 22. According to a special cable- dispatch to the Sun, the financial and commercial war which England has virtually declared against the United States is being pushed rapidly. Friday's wild rush to get rid of American securities almost at any price continued yesterday till nearly the close of the market. The impres sion still seems to prevail among Eng lish Investors that by this mad con duct they are inflicting terrible pun ishment upon America for her temerity in opposing tho British Hon. Next week they will probably realize that It is a peculiar sort of revenge which offers to give back to tne offending in dividuals at thirty to forty per cent, discount property which had been pur chased from them. The attacks upon every line of Ameri can credit are now Indiscriminate and unsparing. President Cleveland Is de nounced In language which Is childishly abusive and unreasoning. He is the best hated man in London, an eminence of which he may well be proud. Still It Is universally declared that there will be no war, and that there is no danger of such a calamity. The excuse everywhere given for boy cotting all things American Is thnt the whole financial and commercial sys tem of the United States Is intrin sically rotten, and that he country Is bankrupt. The private English In vestor who is the real victim or an mis trouble unfortunately believes this Ir responsible Stock Exchange gabble and sacrifices his holdings. The very peo ple who gave him this bad advice today began to profit by It In common with the Americans who were tempted to buy by the bargains so strangely of fered. London bears reapea a ricn harvest. In the last hour's dealings yesterday afternoon their purchases in taKIng profits caused a recovery of two or three points in some stocks. It required only a visit to Throgmor ton street Friday night and yesterday morning to make it clear how arti ficial was the panic. There Is no end of noise, wild rushing to and fro, and wav ing of warlike news bulletins. Hut the volume of business done was ac tually small. The crash was chiefly confined to American stocks, whereas If there had been a genuine fear of hostilities the declines would have been Just as great In all the English securi ties. Tho Object In View. The policy followed by the real lead ers of the financial world In the past four days is easy to understand. They undoubtedly believe, most of them, that If a sharp touch of disaster be admin istered to the American business world It will cause a revolt in popular senti ment in that country and compel the president to withdraw his menaces. It Is worth while to suffer themselves some Inconvenience and temporary loss it they can produce this effect. Senti ment, ordinarily, hns no place In finan cial affairs, and It Is not playing as large a part In this as perhaps appears; but resentment has certainly had its Influence In Borne of the events of the past three days. One strong reason for this Is the fact that the English people of all classes continue to believe that President Cleveland is not sincere in his action or that he Is controlled by unworthy motives. The man who more than all others la responsible for the existence of this mistaken Impression In this country Is Mr. Chauncey M. Depew. He Is the best American In private life among Englishmen. His name and hln words are before the English people more than those of nny other American citizen. They regard his sentiments as representative. All the papers In Lon don quoted him as saying on Wednes day. 'President Cleveland has taken the wind out of the sails of other political leaders In this country, and hns be come simply, In one night, the only pos sible candidate whom the Democrats can nominate for president." This and more in the same line has been construed here as meaning that the president had descended Into llneo- jsm to meet tne exigencies of domestic pontics and personal ambition. Mr. Depew will probably denv that his words are capable of such a con struction, but so they are understood by the English people, and very bitter are their minds in consequence. There would be far less disposition to resort to every possible retaliation, fi nancial and In other directions, if this belief that England Is merely being flouted for a secondary purpose did not exist. Several American writers in the j imps ana otner papers are endeavor ing to correct this Impression, and with some effect. Efforts alan are hninv made to give Englishmen, an adequate jum, nuw completely ine Monroe doc trine Is accepted as a bolltical nvlnm liv the American people. If it were not for ine jMignsnmans lack of imagination and Insular abilltv to T)Ut hlmaalf In another's place he would easily be made iu appreciate ine American contention It is satisfactory to note that the flip. jjbiii, juuik ni:, Hinii or jir.

Tne contestants are meeting with very good success, and the amount which Will be realized from them will swell the gross receipts. The contest for tne whip between George Cool and William Williams was won by Mr. Williams, ne naving i6.fw and Mr. Cool $5.60. After the close of the con- test. Chairman Purdy, In behalf of the hose company, asked Mr. Williams to become an honorary member of the hose-company. The chamber set was won by Mrs. William Bell. No. 49 was the lucky number. The lap robe was won on ticket No. 87, and) was held by Frank Pickering. The quilt presented to the hose company by the Ladles' Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal church, was won on ticket No. 120, and was held by H. V. McCloskey, of Jer- myn. Charles Harding won the doll and E. M. Barnes won the placque, and John Qrlsdale won the'rug. The door prize was an express wagon and was drawn on ticket No. 1292, held by Wil liam Pollard.
