THE SCItANTON UBUNE-TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 13, 1896. SILVER IS AT THE . LOW WATER MARK White Metal Drops to 64 3-4 ia the New York Market WALL STREET NOW PASSES IT BY No Oae Hat Faith That It Will Ad vance at a Itesult of the Election. Wheat Export on the Increase. Gain of 2,720,000 Bushels Sent Abroad Over Previous WeekGold Contiuues to Flow This Way. New York, Oct. 12. Of the many problems now being studied by finan ciers, stock operators and others who study ante-election indications, closely, the must interesting is the steady and further decline In the price of silver, which today touched 6514 cents an ounce for certificates and 1)4 for commercial bars, against 64, the last quotation being the lowest price of the year. This decline was partially due to a similar drop In the London market and was also Influenced by further delivery of certi ficates and liquidation on the part of the big Bilver pool which was formed last summer, when It was supposed that Bryan might have a chance of election. In such an event silver would naturally rise In value in Jumps and bounds. While silver declined wheat remained stiong at the highest llgure with a good demand fiom abroad, and const quently more jruld Imports In prospect. The ac tual amount of wheat on passage In creased 2,720.000 bushels over last week. From various estimates it Is figured that fully $G,iXH),000 In gold will arrive here or been In transit on the Atlantic by the end of the week. The announce ments today were of $500,000 gold sold by the Hank of England in American eagles for export una $125,000 consigned to Muller, Hchnll & Co., which Is now en route here on the steamship Yumurl, from Havana. The amount of gold Imported last .veck was $2,213,290. At the opening of business today the treasury (told reserve amounted to 124.2-iO,04l. It was also said that the gold withdrawn from the sub-treasury mi Saturday decreased to $00,600. Most of this gold is said to have been with drawn for hoarding purposes. Under these conditions the average layman might naturally be surprised that the predicted boom in the prices of stocks In anticipation of McKinley's election, would follow. It did not and the causes assigned were various. BROKER'S OPINION. One well known broker, whose opin ions are always the result of thought Fald: "While my natural position In the stock Is that of a bull, I have not be lieved since the Maine election that the market will discount McKinley's elec tion until the day after election. There is a large speculative interest in stucks, and outside buying or selling is not brisk. Brokers are cautions about tak ing orders, and the general tendency is to watch and wait. Hut of one thing we may be certain. If Bryan's elec tion was in any way forecasted prices would not be within an average of ten points of where they are. Every one would be rushing to buy silver and get rid of stocks. Are they? No. "The market is also largely affected by various separate conditions. Thera are rumors affecting Chicago Gas, Sugar, Manhattan and various rail roads which cannot yet show an In crease in business due to the grain movement. 1 lie IU1H1II UL Dim iiiuic fiuiu uaa little effect on stocks, I believe, be cause of the high rate of interest. Per sons argue that gold is tlowlng here to be loaned: but they do not consider that every dollar sent by Great Britain or Europe for that purpose is an evi dence that foreign countries are con vinced that their money is safe here and that we are In no danger of r?pu dlatlon. To my knowledge a prominent a very prominent banker cabled to his European correspondents last week that McKinley's election Is as sured." Other financiers argued that the stock market was quieter than might be ex pected owing to the spirit of .timidity which tempts the hoarding of gold. They said that whenever gold is at a premium, however slight, stocks are Invariably depressed. Even with these causes for advance ment or depression the stock market grew stronger as the day advanced and held its own fairly well. HONOR FOR JOHN PHILIP S0USA.

A Zurich, Switzerland, House Will Take 100,000 Tons. Washington, D. C, Oct. 12.

A German Nobleman's Tragi o Death While Touring, Monterey. Cal., Oct. 12. A young German toblemaa and artist Count Von Ballestrem, was killed at Point t'armel last night. A constable hurried there and found Charles Ablger wan dering listlessly around the house In Which lay the dead body of Ballestrem. Ablger surrendered, claiming that the shooting was accidental. The men had been traveling companions and friends for six years, and this was their second trip to Point Lobos, of which Ballls trem had been making studies. Ablger said: "I took a notion to go hunting just about sundown. Balles trem objected and grabbed the gun. We fcagaa a playful tusala and to my hor ror the gun went off and lodged the full charge of shot in' his side, killing him instantly." The authorities have no doubt that the shooting was accidental. The de ceased was related to some ofhe best known noble houses of Germany. His mother is Countess Von Ballistrem. One of his uncles was a president of the German Reichstag. RIOT QUELLED BY A WOMAN. Wife ofSherlffQuinn Shows Pluck in an Emergency. Kewanee. III.. Oct. 12 Thirteen pris oners attempted to break out of the Henry county jail last night while the sheriff was away. Several were Intoxi cated, and a battle ensued between them and the ones who had planned the delivery and kept sober to carry It out. A deputy was overpowered and narrowly escaped being beaten to death. The riot was finally -quelled by the sheriff's wife with the aid of two revolvers. Deputy Sheriff Stlers had gone up town and this fact had become known to the Inmates of the jail in some way. They were not -confined In cells, but were all together In one- loom. The outcries brought a crowd to the outside of the Jail, and some one sent for Deputy Stlers. As soon as he ar rived he passed in to the jail with a loaded revolver, but a chair was hurled at him, knocking the weapon from his hand. Then the prisoners threw them selves upon him, kicking him and beat ing him with pieces of the frames of their beds. Meanwhile Mm. Qulnn, the sheriff's wife, seeing the deputy's peril, rushed to her room and snatched up her hus band's revolvers. Rushing to the open lng through which food Is passed, she pushed the weapons through, at the same time crying for the prisoners to beware, as she was going to shoot. The sober ones saw she hail the drop on them, so they ca'nied the others and quiet was restored with the help of the deputy. TIRF WRITER SHOT. Gwynoe Tompkins, Known as "Grey stone," Is the Victim of a Jealous Husband Who Carried a Gun. Washington, Oct. 12. A mysterious affray occurred this afterncon In Georgetown, resulting In the shooting of Gwynne Thompkins, a turf writer and stable owner, well known by hi J non do plume of "Oieystone" by John Collns.a clerk In the ofllee of the com missioned of the District of Columbia. It occurred in the West End hotel and Tompkins is supposed to have been shot in the arm and side. How seriously he is hurt, however, cannot be stated, ua he was at once carried off by his friends In a carriage and has not yet been located by the police. Collins whs arrested and Is now In a police station. He will say nothing about the shouting, although a package of letters which hi has in his possession and of which he seems to be most solicltlous Is believed to have something to do with It. Tompkins has had a divorce grant d recently from his wife, herself a wri ter of some reputation, over the signa ture of "Helen Dare." She suddenly disappeared from New York two year. ago, was later located In San SsjariciKCo in company with Norman Broughat, u prominent sporting writer, to whom Bhe was married a few days ago. The letters which Collins holds nro said to have been written by Tompkins to Mrs. Collins, seeking an appointment with her. The husband was on hand In stead of the wife and when Tompkins appeared, the shooting commenced. Tompkins was taken tu the Garfield hospital und his wound dressed. The officials there say his injuiies are not serious. MUStW TELEPHONE RATES. Postoflice Department Will Not Pay Over $50 a Year. Washington, Oct. 12. Telephone companies supplying Instruments to poBtofllces nnd branch postodices In many of the large cities of the country will have to reduce their rates or take out their telephones. All telephones in the Washington postoflice and Its various branches were removed today by order of Frank Jones, first assistant postmaster gen eral. The postoflice has been paying from ISO to $120 a year for the use of the telephones, and in view of the cut rates to other patrons the demand was made for a reduction. Mr. Jones re duced the matter to an ultimatum of $.10 a year. The company said it could not furnish the Instruments at this figure without a loss. Mr. Jones says there is no more use of these postoflice telephones than there Is of others in business houses and professional ofllces where the rates have been reduced. The matter will be referred to congress for action. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Itearciiment Refused in Case of Geo, XV. Potter vs. Scranton Traction Co. Pittsburg, Oct. 12.

ATTACKS REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES Vigorous Letter to Samuel Bancroft in Which He Says that the Platform Should Justify All Constitutional Democrats in Refusing to Vote for llryan and Sewall. 1 Wilmington, Del., Oct. 12. Ambassa dor Bayard writes a letter to Samuel Uuncroti, Jr., In which he attacks the Chicago platform vigorously, and said it should Justify constitutional Demo crats In refusing to vote for Bryan and Sewall. He also attacks the Republi can candidates, and expresses the hope thut. Palmer and Buckner electoral tic kets will bo placed in every Btate. Mr. Bayard says: "It seems scarcely possible that any one could be In doubt In relation to'my personal opinion upon the very serious issues now placed before our country men by the machinery of the several political organizations. The evils which surround us and the perils that con front us have not grown In a night, nor have they come without warning. The dangers of disregarding sound finan cial principles have been distinctly foretold and reiterated; and, looking over the lust twenty-five years as a representative of Delaware In the sen ate and as a citizen discussing else where public measures and policies, I cannot discern any failure on my part to speak with absolute plainness in op position to the facts of the tlnnncial and commercial policies which are re sponsible for the present perilous and distressing conditions. In such a crisis, language of reproach, nf crimination, would be useless, or worse, and unworthy; but each man, upon his own responsibility, must ask und answer the question whether men collectively or Individually, can, with justice or self-respect, abandon a Just und vital principle In the hour of its exigency, and Just when the necessity of Its maintenance Is greatest, and lly from the field when the assault Is fiercest and courage Is most needed to defend the right. Whether the princi ple Is embedded In the text of the writ ten charter of our government, or Is found in statutes Intended to give ef fect to the constitution, the measure of duly and fidelity Is equal; and in these seasons of excitement, alarm, and pas sionate unreason, which are almost In evitable In the history of any rintlon, a patriotic, sincere, and self-respecting man will hear and heed the summons, and will foci the real trial of his soul to support, In the hour of their dis tress, the truths he has deliberately weighed and avowed it to be his duty to sustain for the welfare of the coun try to which his faith and allegiance huve been plighted." AGED WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH. Tripped, While Carrying n Blazing Drawer, Into the Flames. Gettysburg, Pa., Oct. 12. The funeral of Miss Eva Hull, aged 82, will be hld tomorrow morning.
