THE WALL-STREET OAIIE. Bow It la Played, sod the Sort of Property That la Transferred. "Gath'a" Sew Tork Letter. Tba amount of mere knowledge and suggastion In Wall atreet ia not very large. A newspaper man who baa been looking at affairs for years can acatter more thoughts aronnd a broker's office than the broker and all bis customers, perhaps; but when it comes to business tbe newspaper man has not provided bimself with the credit nor courage, and, however entertaining he may be as a suggester, he is a lame quantity as a gambler. Brokers and men of that class expand by experience until they very seldom take time to argue anything. Tbe last and greatest efficiency of a man is to go and do the greatest thing. Wb.n they have talked over a war in the Cabinet and the press they call upon a general to execute the job. He very seldom sits down to argue with his government. If be is gointr to keep bis commission and receive bis great opportunity he shows by his promptitude that tney have not mistaken him, and be ia apt to say, when asked when be can move: "I can move now!" It is just the same in finance. Yon and five ether men who can command five millions of dollars have thought it well to go and bny property. Yon cannot buy it from individuals. It a represented in atocka or bonds, which are brought to tbe Exchange and put up there for sale. A part of tbe game is not to let it be known who is doing tbe buying. Yesterday, perhaps, of the atocka yon want there were not quoted more than a thousand shares. Tbe oroker goes In and offers for all the stock he can get an advance of 2 to 5 per cent. That quotation is flashed all over the country and setnp in every xchance and broker's office. "Hello," says somebody to bimself, quietly. "I see that stock is up. I reckon it is my time to sell." So he telegraphs to New York, to some broker there, to sell for him 500 shares. Similar orders come from other sourcea Again the stock moves up and a bigger area of people prick np their ears and wonder what is coming next. So from a hundred sources driblets of stock come in, and the broker covers it all and assembles it, and bands it over to his coterie of customers, who say to themselves: "That man is an efficient broker: he did well by us." Tbe commissions are paid np and the broker is bappy, and at the next turn in the same stock he gets bis share of the selling to do. Apply this to tbe case of Mr. McKean. of Indiana, who controlled tbe Vandalia railroad stock. His line lay off there unsuspected, a portion of tbe Pennsylvania system. A little circle of capitalists and railroad owners and speculators, beaten at one end of tbe country, wonder how tbey eaa circumvent their enemy at the otber and'distant end. Tbey do not.likeao be known as principals. Tbey bethink 'them of a broker who ia a universal factor, and he chooses tbe right instrument, add perhaps sends him to the spot and commences overtures, saying: "For your particular stock and as much more as you can control, up to a certain amount, we will pay yon a price higher than your atock has sold at for ten years. We wilt treat yon just as fairly as yoa are treated now. Indeed, we will give you a guarantee to that effect, that yoa shall conduct this part as yon bave before. It ia merely a transferal to some otber parties of tbe property." The man sees an opportunity to realize on what he has been managing for years. He reflects that this is a world of mutations, and that what be is now to receive will put him beyond all possibilities. If tbe broker negotiates for this stock he gets bis commission, just as if be bought it on the Stock Exchange; provided he made that arrangement. Tbua brokers reqnireat times to be diplomatists, and tbe possession of a temperament, of reputation and of integrity goes a long way toward insuring tbe faitb which will sell out a great estate in a railroad or any other form. But tbe broker who is used on large errands of this kind is not a very frequent personage. There is another kind of a broker, such as I saw yesterday. I waa in Wall atreet, and a man stepped np to me with whom I had an incidental acquaintance of years. I had even forgotten his name. He probably knew all about me that waa worth knowing. Said be: "Come over here to Clewa'a office; I want to show you the prettiest office down town." So I stepped over to the ground or pavement floor of the Mills Building, where the sign of Henry Clews was to be seen on every window. Within the door was a kind of area, in which were disposed a dozen or twenty chairs. On the wall were tbe quotations of every sort of thing brokers deal in grain, railroad shares, petroleum trusts, cotton, etc A young man was continually changing the quotations as tbey came in every minute. Telegraph instruments of every sort were bringing news from Chicago, the oil regions, New Orleans, London and wherever the mundane crowd was busy hypothecating the future. A small man with a high bead, quite bald, seemed to be tbe least energetio personage in the room. This was Henry Clews, a native of England, from about Staffordshire, who came to America and served his time in the financial quarter, and finally became a banker, and when tbe government aold its bonds he got a share to dispose of, so that he married the fine-looking niece of Secretary Belknap. After exchanging a few sentences with Mr. Clews, I said to the man who introduced me: "Is this a busy day here?'' "Yea Tbey have sold two million bushels of wheat here this morning, and every ten thousand bushels of, wheat bring the same commissi on as a hundred shares of stock." So tbe great exchange of hnman nature and Interest starts up every morning soon after 9 o'clock, and the telegraph has connected the speculators of the world with each other, and personal property is the favorite commodity on tbe globe. Losses by Fire. ErSeclel to the Indianaoolis Journal. Brazil., Ind., June 15. A two-story frame building and a new one-story brick store-room, adjoining, were burned last night. They were the property of Samuel Weaver, and were located on West Main atreet, near the C. & L C. depot. Weaver's lo.s on buildings aggregates $2,500. mostly eovered by insurance. A. T. Finlay, grocer, lost stock valued at .$500. fully insured, and Tom O'Connel. saloon stock and household effects, valued at $000, partly insured. Tbe origin of tbe fire is unknown. Boston, June 13. St Mary's Episcopal Church was gutted by fire this morning. Loss, (10.000. The fire is believed to be of incendiary origin. More Bloodshed In Rowan, Louisville. Ky.. Jane 13. A special to the Evening Times from Lexington, Ky., says: "Mews reached here this morning of another dastardly and cold-blooded attempt at assassination in Rnwan county. Last night as ex-Sheriff William Ramey and his son Henry, the latter twenty-four years of age, were riding from Morehead to their home in the country, they were shot from ambush and probably fatally wounded. It is not known who the parties were. Barney and his son were not members of either of the Rowan factions. Lately, though, tbey bad refused to join the Craig Tolliver crowd, and it is thought that this refusal is tbe cause of the probable double murder." Forty-Nine's Money. PrTTBrna, June 15. In an interview, to-day, T. B. McGuire, of tbe general executive board of tbe Knights of Labor, denied emphatically the reports about shortages in tbe accounts of district assembly No. 49, of New York. The funds, he said, were all right, and there was the most amicable feeling among the members. He also intimated that the "Fortv-ninera' would make a strong effort to re-elect Powderly. Quiet In the Coffee Market, New York. June 15. The eoffee market has assumed a natural tone and there was no excitemrt in the trading at the opening this morning. When tbe gavel fell for tbe first ca'l some hesitation was shown by buyers and the early transactions were a little below last night's closing prices, but in a few moments the hesitation disappeared and the bidding became bolder and prices advanced about 10 pointa John Randolph of Roanoke. In the opinion of the Boston Herald, if Queen Victoria should "command'' Phillips Brooks to preach at her chapel aha may receive an anawsr similar to that which John Randolph gave when he was asked to kneel to the Czar at a reception. The statesman renlied: "I am. John Randolph of Roaroke, a free-born citizen of Virginia. I do not kneel to anybody but my God.'' Obituary. La Crosse, Wis., June 15.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS

A Resident of Kokomo Charged with Conspiracy to Commit Arson. Vindication of Captain Herette Band Tournament at Fort Warne Shocking; Death of a Child Fatal Runaway Accident-Xotes. INDIANA. Fromlneot Citizen of Kokomo Placed Under Arreat oo a Serioas Charge. Special to tbe Indianaoolis Journal. Kokomo, June 15. Jahue C. Pickett, only son of .Nathan Pickett, president of the Howard National Bank, was arrested here to-day upon a warrant sworn out by II. IL Friedley, State agent for the Royal Insurance Company. The filaloeh brothers, now in jail, a notice of which appeared several days ago in the Journal, state that they were secretly taken into the upper rear room of the Pickett & McNeil hardware store by Mr. Pickett, where a contract was entered into between themselves and Mr. Pickett to burn the Dixon Block. They were to receive $25 apiece as a reward for burning the building, and a promise of as much more when he obtained his insurance money. In accordance with the above agreement, on the night of Jan. 13, after three attempts, tbey succeeded in starting a fire in some bay that bad been secreted in the ceiling. Soon the entire three-story block was wrapped in flames, and $90,000 worth of property was burned. Until recently the origin of the fire was shrouded in mystery. Pickett & McNeil carried an insurance policy of $19,000 on their stock of good a After tbe fire they made a sworn statement to Mr. Friedley that they only had goods to the amount of $8,000. This was ground for suspicion, and the insurance companies immediately set detectives to work on the case, with the above result. The confession of the Malosh boys, last week, and the arrest of Pickett to-day, have created a sensation in Kokomo business circles. Pickett lives in an elegant residence on East Sycamore street, and is supposed to be worth $15,000. He is now engaged in tbe importation and breeding of blooded horses. In a few minutes after bis arrest be gave a $5,000 bond for bis appearance at the next term of the Howard Circuit Court, his father and Frank Price, his business partner, going on his bond. Tbe blow falls heavily on the aged parents of Mr. Pickett, wbo are wealthy members of the society of Friends, and upon whom there bas never been a stain of dishonor. Captain Huette Exonerated. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. jErrERsoNViLLC, June 15. The first of the cases against ex-officials of the Southern prison and sureties on their official bonds, tried in the Cireuit Court here, resulted in a verdict favorable to the defendant. The case alluded to was against Cant. M. I. Huette and bis sureties on official bond, and was tried last evening. Tbe court sustained the defendant's demurrer to the complaint, and the plaintiff failing to amend and having nothing further to offer in tbe case it was dismissed. This completely exonerates Capt. Huetle from all charges that have been made against his official conduct while clerk at the prison. Tbe people of this city bave all along believed that Capt. Huette was not guilty of any willful wrong doing. The only thing for whicb be can be blamed is for allowing himself to be made tbe dupe of others. In the case of the State against Jack Howard, ex-warden of the prison, and sureties on his official bond, motion was made and leave granted to give time to paragraph the complaint. The ease against Capt. John Craig, ex-deputy warden, has not yet been called. War on the Salvation Army. Special to tbe Indianaoolis Journal. Richmond, June 15.

Within tbe past week a capitalist from the oil regions of Pennsylvania has been in the vicinity leasing underground rights to gas and oil deposits, and offering to buy up tbe right to large tracts of land about the city, with a view to sinking a well. The interest in real estate and city property is daily increasing, as reports from the sur rounding springs and wells show the pressure of gas and oil so strong that by touching a match to the surface a sheet of flame burns over them.

What do you think of the situation for 1S38T" The Governor's cold became alarmingly severe. but be managed to reply that he never poached oa another man's preserves. "Well, then, of tbe situation in jsew xorkl" "It is quiet, but we have the advantage." "Is there much frictiou in your party" "Very little. I never knew the rival organizations in New York city so calm and fraternal. If they have any jealousies and troubles they keep them to themselves and do not longer thrust them into State and national politics to the peril of the common cause. I have never had the slightest difficulty down there. The Senators and Assemblymen when tbey come here sustain each other so that you couldn't possibly tell a County Democracy man from a Tammany man. Tbe situation almost belies something I once heard Mr. Tilden say. Did you ever hear the old man's reflection on harmony in politics?'! 'Not that I remember. "Well, one day in tbe early part of 1880 and before the national conventions, while there was a great deal of talk for and against 'the old ticket,' I was down in New York with a friend of mine from Elmira. He had never met Mr. Tilden, whom he justly regarded as a very great man, and he besought me to present him to the sage. So I took him around to the house in Gramercy Park, and we sent in our cards. Presently we felt rather than heard' that soft, cat-like rustle which betokened the old man's approach. I went forward with my friend and presented him. Mr. Tilden looked him over and then quietly squatted down in bis chair. He didn't ask us to be seated, for confidentially speaking, the old man's manners never were his strong point. But his sitting was the signal for us to do tbe same. My friend thought, of course, that he must show off his acute knowledge of the situation, and so he hegan: " 'What a pity it is, Mr. Tilden, that we can't bave more harmony in our party?' "The sage looked at my friend almost contemptuously. Then be faintly said, 'Do you expect harmony in politics? " 'Why, yes, to an extent at least' "Tbe old man hitched his chair up closer, thrust his mouth to my friend's ear and whispered: 'You might as well look for peace in h 1 1" ' Advice for the Boys at Washington. ShelbyTi:i8 Times. It is amusing to observe with what confidence the average Indianian holding official position at Washington talks about the situation "out at home." " It is equally amusing to observe how uniformly away wide from tbe mark he shoots. We feel a conscious pride in seeing our Hoosiers in tbe newspapers of tbe great East, but it would be advisable for a fellow always to bare something to say before he chases down a reporter to be interviewed by him. After capturing a newspaper man he shonld not talk twaddle and slishslush for the sake of saying something. Tbe man who talks too much will be sure to let in some error, no matter how careful and conservative he may be. Really, it is the opinion "out at home" that we can attend to our own affairs much better without the aid of the Indianian at Washington. He tried to engineer for us, at long range, our little legislative rnkus last winter, and camo within a hair of spoiling the whole business. Tbe men on the ground know pretty much bow the cat jumps. Royal Visitors to .Mr. Cody's Show. London, June 15.

A Perfect Paradise. Boston Transcript. Miss Goshington Oh, I should think you'd rather go to tbe beach. Do you know that I think the seabeash is a perfect paradise? Fogg Yes; tbe style of dressing at tbe beach does remind one of the fashions prevalent in paradise. Omaha Bee: There seems to be but little attention paid to the car stoves these times. A few months ago ail the papers were demanding that they shonld go. This painful silence of late suggests subsidy.

MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL

Frofessor Riley's Hop-Louse Invest iga tion and the Result Thereof. Congressman Sara Randall Expresses Some of His Views ia Very Forcible Language Redaction of Salaries General Notes. THK HOP LOUSE. Prof. Riley Makes Some Discoveries Which Will Be of Value t'o Hop-Kaisers. Washington, June 13. Professor Riley, the entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, bas made public the result of an exhaustive personal investigation into the habits of tbe phorodon hamuli, or hop louse. His discoveries are expected to prove of great value to bop-growers. as he has succeeded in learning the habitation of this plant pest during the winter months and tracing it through the various stages of insect life. Before the Profesaor's investigation it was not known how or where the insects survived tbe winter. As a result of his inquiries, the Professor has satisfied himself that the eggs laid by tbe female at the close of the summer are de posited in plum trees, where the insect hatches in the spring and resides until the third generation. This third brood, unlike its predecessors. is winged, and immediately after development abandons tbe plum tree and attacks the hop vine. In the autumn a counter migration from tbe hop vine to tbe plum tree occurs, trie winter eggs are deposited, and the cycle of life goes on in tbe same fashion. It is a notable fact that in regions where the cultivation of hop vines is a new industry, growers have had complete immunity for a while from this pest. Ia California to-day they are not troubled by it The Professor believes that the phorodon humuli bas been brought to this country from .buroDe on plum atock, and there is reason to believe that tbe phylloxera, the dreaded grape pest, was carried from this country to Europe on grape-vine cuttings, tnererore California cop-growers are warned to beware of importing plum stock from Eastern hop regions. These discoveries render it pos8i Die to check the ravages of the bop louse, either by tbe use of insecticides in the spring time, before the insect has reached tbe winged state, or by the destruction of tbe sheltering plum trees. Tbe experiments will be continued with a view to protecting the hop vines after they have become infested with lice. SAM RANDALL. The Pennsylvania Statesman Kxpresaes Him self In Vigorous Langua ge. Special to Cincinnati Inquirer. While an Enquirer representative was sitting in the office of the First Assistant PostmasterGeneral this morning, cooling himself, Mr. Eb Henderson came in, and soon after ex-Speaker Sam Randall. General Stevenson asked Hen derson about the condition of the Democratic party in Indiana. "The party is in a better condition, and is in a much better humor toward the administration than it was a year ago, and the people have about settled down to the inevitable, that Mr. Cleveland will again be the presidential candidate, and, in my judgment, he will carry the State," was Henderson's reply. ''Will Indiana want to furnish tbe candidate for Vice-president?" asked General Stevenson, with an expression on his countenance denoting a little anxiety. "No," answered Mr. Henderson. "Indiana is tired of furnishing candidates for the tail end of tbe ticket, and we don't believe, under the circumstances, that it would be any advantage to us in the campaign of '83. Senator Voorhees," added Henderson, "is strong with the Democracy of Indiana, but be has had the disposal of so much patronage within tbe last two years that in its distribution he has not been able to please all classes. I do not think it would be just to him to force a nomination at this time." At this juncture Mr. Randall entered the room and, after the usual greetings. Henderson rose to leave. As he did so he invited Mr. Randall to call at the Internal Revenue Bureau and see him. "Ill not come, said Mr. Randall, savagely. "Mr. Miller the Commissioner, is not my style of a Democrat. I helped to make him Commissioner, but I am sorry I did so. I was not so much for Miller, however, as 1 was opposed to the other gentleman. I believe that the Demo crats ought to have the offices, and there are too many Republicans retained in tbe Internal Kevenue Department to suit me." "Why, Mr. Randall," said Henderson, "the Commissioner claims that 90 per cent, of tbe Internal Revenue force are Democrats, including the whole country." "Hell." ejaculated the ex-speaker. "The whisky-gangers and storekeepers are appointees of the collectors, and appointed in my district upon my recommendation, and the Commissioner of internal revenue is entitled to no credit for any of these changes. Your Chief Clerk Biddis was a good Democrat when in the State Senate in Pennsylvania, and he was appointed to his present position upon my recommendation; but it appears that be bas lost all his manhood, and simply speaks and acts through Miller." "Mr. iJiddis seems to be an efficient omcer," remarked Henderson. "I presume he is. but has got to be a weak Democrat. But, Henderson, you are an Indiana Democrat, aud I hope you are all right, as they usually are. Mr. Randall seemed to be in had humor, and made no effort to conceal bis disgnBt at the course of Mr. Miller in retaining so many Repub licans who are not protected by the civil-service law in his bureau. "I generally say just what I think," said Mr. Randall, "not only to my intimate friends, but to the President bimself. I believe the party would be in better condition if Senators and members of Congress would be frank and honest with their friends." Mr. Randall said that the man he bad had ap pointed postmaster in Philadelphia bas changed all of His subordinates, ana tney are now all Democrats. "The boys who do the work," be said, "have got the places, while in New York city, sixteen hundred subordinate Republicans are retained." MINOR MATTERS. Modification of the Recent Order Consoli dating; Internal Revenue Districts. Washington, June 15. The President to-day issued an order modifying his recent order con solidating internal revenue districts, so far as it affects the collectors of the districts in the States of North Carolina and Iowa.
