SENSATION IN WALL STREET

JAY GOULD MAKES EvERYflO'W' STARE BY THE MAGNITUDE OF HIS TRANSACTIONS.

New York, Feb., 17 —Wall street has not been so excited for along time as it was to-day, by a rise in Union Pacific. That stock, which, in the last few weeks, has ruled between

advanced to 77,^. Wall street was puzzled by these extraordinary fluctuations, and every form of rumor was1 current. It soon, however, seemed to be settled, as if by authoritative statement, that Jay Gould had effected arrangements by which control ofthe Union Pacific railroad passes into the hand* of a syndicate composed of some of the strongest gentlemen ifr Wall street. The names of these were variously reported, but it was generally believed that the syndicate includes Russel Sage, James M. Keene, Addison Cammack, C. J. Osborn, D. P. Morgan, W. L. 8cott and Frank Worth. It^ was also rumored that the board

is to be changed, some Saying that Jay Gould is to go out, and that representatives of the new buyer® Are to go irito the new board as one of the conditions of the transaction^ It was said with some emphasis that Gould wii! retire from the direction on March 1st, and that two gentlemen of acknowledged ability and character will- be added to the board. Gould, according to the" better informed, was the holder of 170,000 shares, and of these he has sold

and a check

was, to-day, handed him for the entire amount On the other hand, it was asserted that, in reality, Gould had only made arrangement whereby temporarily the company should nominally pass out of his control, it being well known that this course would lead to a sharp rise in Union Pacific stock. The lsst rumor is that Gould sold sufficient stock to transfer control of the road to Boston stock holders. Union Pacific first mortgage sold up to $1,10^, the highest point ever made in the market. 11 11.

Union Pacific railroad earaings for four teen days in February show an increase of

MATH OF BISHOP FOLEY. Chicago, Feb. 19.—Bishop Foley died a few mtautes before four o'clock this morning. The funeral services will be in this city on Friday, after which the remains of the late Bishop will be taken to Baltimore.

He has been prostrated by complicated disorders since Sunday, the 9th instM and since then, although the physicians believed they could control his disease, he has, at no time, been oat of danger,

Soon after midnight a singular change appeared, and it was immediately communicated to his physicians who found that, weakened as he was bv dysentery of

hours duration, the deadly

typhoid pneumonia will prove fatal. His mind was perfectly clear, and he prsyed constantly "while able to articulate. As his speech began to fail he turned to Dr. McMullen, and said:

Me fdeacan be form-

*d of the great profit-whlch this transaction has brought him. It is understood that Gould has fbr sometime conteikiplfcted retiring, from active business, and that this isthe reason for-this step. A gentleman well informed as to Gould's affairs stated that thtf safe of his Union Pacific interest was the greatest operation in the eventful history of this remarkable operator, and he was probably, to-day, wealthier than ever before, The purchase, it is claimed, on the part of a syndicate, would give them" such a hold upon Gould that they could keep him to his agreement to work with them for a bull campaign, and if he proved false, they cod Id throw their Union "Pacific on the market and break jt down. Even in Wall street it & seldom that a single transection for $7,0*0,000 ft madf, ahd-the'iale bfthii a mom AC of Union Fa'ciflc stock, following closely the .transaction forf3,006,060, which it now appears was recently made, attracted great attention. The Union Pacific, although earning dividends for several- years, has nevertheless been dormant, people being afraid to touch it because mere was such a concentration oi stock in single hands, and because one man could at any time he wished to sell such an amount of it as to temporarily over-rule all considerations of value or speculation. Now that the large block in Gourd's hands his been distributed, the stock is expected to become active. Men on change declare that Gould recently settled his bear contracts at the prices demanded oy the bull clique, and in addition bought stocks for long accOdttt. In consideration of this, the syndicate contrated to take

No lives lost. One! servant, was badly injured by falling from the third floor. From the Evansvttle Tribune,

Of the conduct of the persons at the fire night before last the Evansville Tribune says:

The transient gnestsot the house acted in a wild and unreasonable manner rushing from their rooms en dis* habille, and asking the mOst incoherent and unanswerable questions. For men accustomed to travel and the vicissitudes of the road, they conducted themselves very urteeemfy. Thd regular boarderst -however, and especially thft ladtes stopping at the tatel, acted very cooly. The morning papers slander the fair heroines by ststing that they mide a stampede for the stairs, frightened aad in their night rebes. This is a perversion ofthe facts, as not a lady came down stairs but was in a condition to receive a prince, their shoes, cuffs, colars and wrappers as neat as could be desired by the most fastidious.

When the fire was climbing up'the back stairs, the servants'quarters on the third floor in the rear were filled With a dense smoke, Which was the first- they learned of the conflagration. Two of them, Lizzie Weichel, a pantry girl, and Ltssie Brennan, leaped from their beds almost sofibcated. They both cried for help, while! the dense smoke almost smothered them the destroying the dement still kept creeping closer to them. Their cries were beartbreaUuf» but they were toldby
