THF.IR OWN WAV.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.—Dispatches telling of thopitfanticcombination effected by President McLeod, of the Rending railway, by which tho Reading secures control of tho Lehigh Valley aud New Jersey Central railroads aud their vast c.onl properties, and jiroposes to combine tlie anthracite coal producing and currying interests into one management, created a tremendous sensation in the stock exchanges and in railway and coal circles throughout tho country.

A Colonial Deal.

It is conceded to be the most extensive financial operation for years, the greatest in the history of railway financiering, and one the far-reaching influence of which cannot be computed. It means a colossal deal by which three-fifths of tlie anthracite coal of the country fs brought under the control of one mail, and in these days of mighty monopolies, of throttling the supply and advancing prices, the effect of such a consolidation of interests to handle an indispensable article like coal becomes of almost a personal interest to every one.

Kxcltement In New York.

NKW VoitK, Feb. 13.—Thursday was the greatest day on record on the stock exchange. Contrary to general expectation, not a failure was announced, and with the fall of the hammer of the chairman at 8 o'clock the day came to an end with the confusion and excitement just as great as at the opening. No one looking at the maddened, excited crowd of men shrieking at the top of• their voices would have supposed them to be business men capable of dealing in 815,000,000 worth of property in thirty minutes. But such was the case, and moreover, the value of the Heading stock alone enhanced in value 81,500.000 by the very actions of that excited mob. It would be useless to figure on the money made and lost. Hundreds of thousands were won and lost in the big game.

The transactions.on 'change exceeded alt previous records. Over 1,500,000 shares of stock were traded iu, of which (150,000 shares were Heading. An idea of the immense business done may be gathered from the fact that 300,000 to 400,000 shares Is considered a good day's business, and wlieu one day last week the figures reached 800,000 shares the matter was referred to as extraordinary. Of course the great feature of the market was Reading, which has advanced over twenty-five points in a few days.

Cnu*e of the Flurry.

The neatly-worked coal movement was responsible for the. condition of affairs. The Heading assumes control of the Jersey Central and the Lehigh Valley roads on a guaranty of fixed charges and 7 per cent, dividends on the stock. These roads control about 75 per cent of the coal mined in the country. The Lackawanna and Delaware & Hudson consent to the deal. It is pronounced the greatest event that has occurred in the railroad world since the West Shore move was announced. The New England is said to be in the deal in some way and the Heading and NewEngland were enormously active. The shorts were scared fearfully and ran to cover with all possible speed.

IMne la Reading.

Reading stock closed Wednesday night at 55%, but later the details of the'big deal were made public, and in the Windsor hotel 60 was bid for the stock. At the drop of Chairman Mitchell's gavel at 10 o'clock Thursday morning announcing the opening of business the 200 brokers gathered in the Reading group became like so many maniacs. Such a hustling, pulling and excited crowd of men has seldom been seen. It resembled the wheat pit on the Chicago exchange during "a squeeze." The stock opened in the board at 57,U Simultaneously sales were made at 50 and a few minutes 04 was touched. The activity in Reading continued all day, but later on the other stocks began to boom also.

Lean** and Contracts Signed.

Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co. announced oflicially Thursday afternoon that the leases and contracts which were signed Wednesday night have now been ratified by the boards of directors of the Reading, New Jersey Central and Lehigh Valley railway companies, by which was effected the combination of the anthracite coal interests. Samuel Sloan, president of the Delaware, Lacka%vanna & Western, said to a reporter regarding the combination: "The Liickuwanna is thoroughly In sympathy with the combination. Whllo we have made no formal agreement with tho Reading we shall act In harmony with that company, and wo •hall not be a competitive factor In the coal trade. We .shall act with the combined Interests both In tho output and price of coal. Tho object Is not to raise tho price, but to regulate production und to make prices uniform."

A tireat Combluatton.

It is acknowledged even by the independent producers that the. combination, with the Lackawanna included, will control 75 per cent of the~anthracite coal traffic of Pennsylvania. As one of the main features of the "deal" looks toward the abolishing of selling I agents the action of tho 'dependent producers and of the sell agents is the subjcct of some comment It is acknowledged that if the movement succcqds the selling agents will find their occupation gone.

SCORED 'EM BOTH.

Jerry Slmp.on, the Alllanre Co»gren«mHn from Kansas, Arraign* the Old Purlieu.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—The Farmers' Alliance arraigned the democratic and republican parties in the house Thursday on tho charge of extravagance. public expenditures and insisted that the leading parties were ignoring the principal legislation of the session in order to provide lucrative positions for favored henchmen of the dominant parties. Representative Simpson (Kan.) was the man to prefer these charges against the dominant parties, and his speech was one of the most amusing and exciting incidents of tho day. The. question of expenditure came up under a resolution reported by the committee on accounts to appoint Walter F. Halleck, an ex-union veteran, to the position of assistant doorkeeper of the house. After two or three democrats and one or two republicans had lavored the resolution in speeches paying high tribute to Maj. Ilalleck, Mr. Fitliian (111.) took the floor and insisted that it was time the democratic majority of the house was coming to ils senses. Wednesday it had passed a resolution giving two messengers to the minority of the house. To-day auother resolution was proposed for an assistant doorkeeper and to-morrow he supposed another resolution would come in giving some place to some pet of some gentleman.

It was at this juncture that the Farmers' Alliance leader from Kansas arraigned the dominant parties. Alluding to the times this session when resolutions for additional employes had been passed, he charged the two leading parties with log-rolling on these occasions and dividing the additional positions equally between the democrats and republicans. He continued: "It appears that legislation is lost siKlu of in this attempt to inaugurate a new system of reciprocity. [Laughter.) The democratic ami republican parties have adopted a lieureciprocity In this house In voting each '.her additional employes. Why. Mr. Speaker, 1 have a constituent of my own here from tin* state of Kansas why has done more for this country in regard to valuable* services rendered in the war than any man recommended to a position lu this congress. [Laughter.) He actually saved the army of lien. Pope from destruction in 18ISJ ariil savml the city of Washington from capture by the rebel army. [Great laughter.) He was a limn In the employ of the secret service and went through the lines Into Kiclunond. entered the rebel army, becoming a spy, anil got intelligence that would save the army of Po|e. As soon as he obtained the intelligence fie deserted. came through the rebel lines, swam the river, got across safely and informed (icn. Pope of the danger which menaced him, and he lias

Uience to show for It bearing the signatures of Gens. Pope and Sigel on it- [Applause.) "Notwithstanding Hits fact, Mr. Speaker, 1 havfc been unable to obtain even a messenger's position ior that man, simply because he does not belong to the party in power siin|ly because he Is neither democrat nor republican. (Laughterund applauscj Yet the great congress of the United Stales has been eonsumltu two or three days together in making positions for some men because of the fact that members on one side or the other want to get their friends In office. [Applause.) "So on have gone on until the whole city ol Washington Is besieged by a hungry horde of IMiliticai partisans who are anxious to reach down into tho jjockets of the lax payers anil take their money to pay political followers and friends for political services." [Great upplaust and laughter.]

Mr. Simpson's speech was interrupted by frequent cries of "Put him on the roll," "Amend the resolution," and "He saved the union," but the speech of the gentleman from Kansas had the effect of overwhelmingly defeating the resolution.

The military academy appropriation bill was taken up and consumed the remainder of the day.

MooitiiEAit, Minn., Feb. 12.—The failure of the Merchant's bank culminated Thursday in the arrest of Henry A. Itruns, the president of the' Institution. The charge against Mr. limns is that he misappropriated the funds of his depositors to the extent of more than $100,000.* Rumors of very ugly character are in circulation as to the use made of the money. The one most generally accepted is that Kruns bought wheal on the Chicago boa'rd of trade on the wrong side of the market last October, and, losing became desperate, made a big plunge, and lauded pretty nearly penniless. The case will be hoard to-day. The complaint is made by Robert lCnegrpn, who has been the bunk's bookkeeper for about eight years. The outcome of the hearing is lookii for with great interest aud important developments will duubtless be made.

The bank has done a heavy business, and has until recently had the entire confidence of the business men of the city and county. The. deposits have often reached Si'iO.OOO, and if reports be true the losses must of necessity be very heavy. A petition lias been presented to the district court for the appointment of P.

LONDON, Feb 12.— All that is mortal of Charles lladdon Spurgeon has been laid to rest in Norwood cemetery, und the interment of the once great divine was made the occasion for such an undenominational demonstration as probably litis never before, been seen in the united kingdom. The funeral services proper commenced Wednesday afternoon, when exercises were held for ministers and students of all denominations, and at 7 o'clock there was service for Christian workers und church members other than members of the tabernacle. Again at o'clock Wednesday night there was a simple religious service for the general public, the great tabernacle being crowded to suffocation at each event

Kt'inarkuhie Outpouring.

It had been announced that the door« would be opened for the final funeral services at 9:30 a. ill., but even the dawn of day saw a large throng assenibled outside of the tabernacle, many of those who composed it having held their positions in the dump and cold from tho conclusion of the miduight service. As tho day wore on the throng rapidly increased until it is soon a multitude.

It was a great outpouring of the masses, and for once the classes seemed to be forgotten, for men ol title jostled with laborers and artisans, and women in sealskins and rustling silks struggled for a place with other women whose humble garmentbetrayed their dire poverty.

Kvery

Sect

Represented.

AU denominations, too, were represented—Catholic and Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Wesleyaus, Quakers and Free Methodists and Congregutionalists. Possibly there were some L'nitnrians in the throng, but if there were they were there in the fui.v of the desires of the bereaved family, which, in deference to a well-known antipathy of the deceased, had requested members of that denoiu ination to abstain from partieipatio in the services. So large was the crowd by 9 o'clock that it required the services of a large force of police to preserve order.

The Tabernacle Puckeil.

At this time the streets in the front and rear of the tabernacle, as well ato the right and left, were one solid mass of human beings, the total number being estimated lit from 2.\0!0 I, 30,000. Thegreatest capacity of the tubernacle, even when every nook and corner is occupied, is 0,000, and consequently when the doors were opened it was but a few moments before the edifice was crowded to suffocation, while fully two-thirds of those who had journeyed from all parts ol the metropolis to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of the great divine were compelled to remain in the open

air.

The Service*.

The funeral services, which were conducted by Rev. .lumes hpurgcon, Rev. Or. Pierson, formerly of John Wanamnker's church, in Philadelphia, who has occupied the pulpit of the tabcrnacle for the last month, and Rev. I)r. Medhurst. Dr. Spnrgeon's first pupil, were very simple, being confined tc prayers, the singing of appropriate hymns and brief addresses by Pastors Spurgeon and Pierson. Simple, however, as was the service it

WII-

solenin and impressive, and at times during the prayers and addresses great sobs of grief seemed to rise from the vast imdience and ascend 'heavenward. .,

Home to the Tomb.

At the conclusion of the last prayct and while the benediction was being pronounced the lid was placed upon the coffin and it was removed tho hearse in waiting Then the solemn procession moved to Norwood cemetory. One hundred carriages followed the hearse, and behind these came a torrent of people on foot, filling the roadway nnd the sidewalks and extending back -farther than the eye could reach. It was estimated that not less than 20,000 people thitpaid mute testimony to the memory of the great prcaclicr. At the grave there was a short prayer, the hymn "Abide with Me" was sung and the I casket was lowered to its last resting place. 'Damhge Mult* Over an Kxplonlon.
