The entire market went against them to an extent that made them squirm.

The victims showed light for a little while soon after the opening, but it was no use; so they devoted the rest of the day to closing out their contracts at the best figures obtainable. Against Pension Sharks. New York, Oct 25.—Lord Coleridge,chief justice of England, visited the stock exchauge accompanied by several friends. President Hatch introduced him in a brief address. He said: "Considering the importance of the position which he holds in England; the influence and power which he their wields; the interest which he has expressed in all things connected with this country, and his friend lin*ss to everything that is American, I take great pleasure in introducing to you Lord Coleridge, the chief justice of England." On the latter stepping forward to address the members of the exchange he was received with a burst of applause, which was repeated when he ended his brief address. In a few w%rds he thanked all present for the way in which they had received him and for the hearty sympathy and friendship manifested to him and through him to the country which he had the honor to represent, He further hoped that America and England would continue united in financial, commercial and business interests, and, above all, that the bawls of friendship would be riveted more firmly than they ever had been before. All present then united in singing "God Save the Queen," which rang out in a volume of sound that filled the place.

Lakxvi-LE, Conn., Oct. 25.—The following notice has been posted In prominent places about the village: Washington, Oct. 25.—Pension Commi» sionor Dudley's fight against the swindling pension claim agents, begun by the suspension of fifteen firms, has created a stir among the whole thieving body of these gracious scoundrels. That they will be more alarmed is probable, for the fight has only begun. It will be continued, the commissioner says, until the nest is broken and the practices of the swindlers stopped. Mr. Dudley is aware that obstructions will be thrown la his way. The pension agent has always been strong in congress, and the dishonest ones appear to have been depended for success upon their influence with mercenary members, while the honest agents have stuck to such business as they could properly do, and have loft pension matters in congress to be taken care of by the members. Mr. Dudley says that whila there are many of the thieving claim agents, there is a large proportion of them in this city and throughout the country who are not only honest, conforming strictly to the laws and practice of the pension bureau, but are mou who do not misrepresent or take extortionate fees, or fees for which they cannot or do not render service. It should be a gratifying thing to learn that this is the fact, for there are now registered on the books of the pension bureau the names of 16,000 pension claim agents who are practicing before it The number of agents having places of business in this city has not yet been ascertained. The namee of only thirty-seven persons or firftis engaged in the collection of claims appear in the district business director, but that list is very incomplete, 'lite pension bureau can furnish the list complete, and its appearance would probably be almost as annoying to the dishonest agents as the news that the thieves among them were to be no longer allowed to plunder soldiers or their families. Philadelphia, Oct. 35.—In the General Episcopal convention the Rev. Dr. Hills, of New Jersey, from the committee on the state of the church, to whom was referred a preamble and resolution of Mr. James H. Fisher, • lay deputy of the diocese of New York, concerning common rumor that certain ministers of the church have long introduced during the celebration of the holy communion ceremonies not authorized in the book of common prayer and symbolizing erroneous or doubtful doctrines, reported that they had given the same the most careful consideration, and have reached the unanimous conclusion that this subject is beyond the competency of this committee, and that it is amply provided for by canon 22, title 1, entitled "Of the use of the books of common prayer," to which they earnestly call the attention of the church. The committee's request to be discharged from further consideration of the subject was granted. The committee on the state of the church prosr-uted a final report through the Rev. Dr. Ilills. It began by referring to the establishment in this country of the American branch of the Anglican •church, aud said that there are at present in the Protestant Episcopal church of the United States 48 dioceses, 15 missionary jurisdictions, 67 bishops, 2,500 other clergy, 3,000 organized parishes, anu more than 353,000 communicants. Since the last meeting of the convention four bishops have died. Two foroign missionary bishops have resigned their jurisdiction, aud eight clergy have been elevated to the episcopate. The report referred to tho inadequate number of candidates for • holy orders, and called special attention to the work of the church temperance society. Church music, it says, has made progress. The enriched book of common prayer is hailed with delight. The report concluded with a resolution that the views of the state of the church there presented be transmitted to the house of bishops, with the request that they prepare a pastoral letter for publication. The resolution was adopted. The committee on expenses presented resolutions that in future each diocese should provide for the expenses of its bishop and clerical deputies attending the convention, and that no part of the personal exjienses should be borne by the parishes or people of the city In which the sessions are held. The Rev. Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, moved as an amendment that the church of any city in which the general convention meets be requested to provide hospitably for one bishop and one clergyman from each diocese and no more. The Rev. Dr. Knight, of central Pennsylvania, from the committee, said it was possible for the committee to recommend that the assessment should be two or tiuve times the present assessment on the dioceses. Tho larger dioceses would have no difficulty in raising the money, but the smaller ones think they have a more serious use for their funds.

A full attendance is requested." For many hours after the appearance of these apparently innocent posters there was much guessing indulged In by the villagers as to what could be their purpose. It finally leaked out. The notice was the signal of another skirmish i»the religious war which has been in progress bere for some months, and which originated in thp erection of a'lifesice crucifix in front of the Catholic chuith. The Cath.lic pastor refused to remove the image at the request of some sixty of the most prominent Protestant residents of Lakeville, and the Catholics boycotted all the storekeepers whose rignatures were appended to the petition. The Protestants retorted soon after by refusing the use of the lake steamer and grove to the Catholics on the occasion of the opening and dedication of the convent. Then at the October town elections, after the closest contest in many years, the democratic ticket, on which eight Catholics were candidates for office, was chosen by « small plurality. The transactions were among the largest recorded iu the exchange. In the last hour there was a pell rnell scramble for stocks, owing largely to a report that the shorts in New York Central would be placed upon the rack agaiu. It was said that orders had been issued to certain houses to call in this morning all the New York Central they had loaned. The amount was estimated at 50,000 shares, and as the stock has been loaning at a considerable premium for some time, the short interest in the stock is presumed to be large. Li. L.

Russell Sage expressed it, "got his D'ltch up," and is going for the scalps of tlit.se whom he recently characterized ns "sneak thieves." His stocks have led the market for two days with a violence that has taken a good deal of financial vitality out of the bears. The opinion is freely expressed that the son of the commodore is particularly desirous of capturing the dandy locks of Mr. Henry N. Smith—indeed, wants to clean him out altogether. Mr. Vanderbilt is known to have very pronouoed views as to the owner of Goldsmith Maid, and is said to have had him specially in mind when he launched his recent invective against the bears. His aversion to Mr. Smith would seem to corroborate the story that Willie K_'s associations with that gentleman did not result to the advantage of the younger Vanderbilt Tho Ehode Island supreme court has been engaged for two days trying a libel suit by a coroner against a newspaper that commented on his conduct at an inquest.

Cincinnati, Oct. 25.—The society of the army of the Cumberland formed at the Burnet house and marched with a band to the Grand opera house, where it was to hold a business session. Tho society was led by its president, Gen. Bheridan, who had Gen. Rosecrans on his right. Following came Gen. Wood with Gen. John A. Logan. After these were Generals Newton, Carlin, Morgan, Kimball, Parkhurst and 150 others. Gen. Sheridan called the society to order. Prayer was offered by the cliaplain. Tho reports of the committees were ad. It was stated in explanation of the absence of any mention of tha death of Gen. Steedman, that he had never become a member of the socioty. Gen. R. D. Musscy offered a resolution, which was adopted, that the committee on memoirs take the necessary steps to have a sketch of Gen. Steedman's military career published in the annual record. Gen. J. 8. Fullerton, treasurer, reported a balance at the beginning of the year of $530, balance now in the treasury $197. He stated that a large number of the members were delinquent, many of whom could not be found by letters. After the appointment of committees and the acceptance of invitation from the chamber of commerce, the Cuvier club, the Duckworth club and the Lincoln club, the meeting adjourned. Now the ladies of the place have taken part in the struggle and they appear determined to retrieve the., fortunes of the Protestant side. The call posted about the town was inspired by Mrs. Rudd, wife of the superintendent of the steamboat company, whose boat was refused to the Catholics, and Mrs. George Harrison, one of the most influential ladies of the Tillage. Their object was to form an association, the members of which would be bound to discharge all the Catholic help in their employ,, and subsctibe to a fund for the importation of colored servant girls frotai Ifcw York, or, if nocoesafy, from the south. As all the servant girls employed in Lakeville are Catholics, the talk of replacing them, it was seen, would be no easy oue. Hence the secrecy observed and the cautious wording of the printed posters. The meeting was held at Mrs. Harrison's residence and was attended by more than a dozen ladies. Those who were present naturally  say what happened, but it is understood in the village that nothing definite was done at the meeting, mauy of the" ladies who Were present being ignorant of the Sbjeot of the gathering Until it w«s announced to them by Mrs. Harrison. It was also thotlght desirable to have a larger attendance. Fitiatoa Wholesale Market*.

Every one who heard the storv said, "He is capable of it." As yet nothing has developed to give color to the report, and, considering Mr. Vanderbilt's bitter animus, it does not appear at all probable. District Attorney Corkhill is very anxious to be assi&Uxl in the fight .1 gainst the robbers by every person who has (uttered from the extortionate practices and misrepresentations of the agents. All soldiers who hsrve received circulars from them, or paid them fees for services not rendered, or for promises of service they were unable to perform, are desired to report to Mr. Corkhill or Commissioner Dudley, inclosing the demands made by the agents ana to state what amounts they have from time to time paid to the men with who) they filed their claims.

Be makes Another Escape From The news of the meeting has already spread among the Catholics, and has induced again the mum spirit of hostility which existed just after the circulation of the petition for the removal of the cross, but which has been dormant since the town election. The success of the Catholics had appeased them somewhat, and they were anxious to put an end to the boycotting »f the storekeepers. But the fear of dMfetoMlag the priest and • disinclination on the part of everybody to be the first to trade with the boycotted grocers were so great that until this day the Catholics of Lakeville purchase their kitchen material in the village of Salisbury, four miles distant, and eaohew the local dealers. One of the principal aggravations to the Protestants, and more especially to the Protestant mothers of the town, is the fact that at the election in the first week in this month Father Lynch, the pastor of the Catholic church, and the man whom they charge with being the oaaee of all the bitter religious feeling between them and the Catholics, was elected to the office of school visitor for the next three years. The Catholic school was opened this year, and the priest has compelled the Qatholic children of the town of n»ll»iilj. Ill which there are nineteen public schools, to attend the new parochial ■ehool. The result has been that in many of the public schools where formerly there were from thirty to one hundred scholars the average attendance is less than a dozen. In one school, in which four teachers are employed, and where there were formerly fifty pupils, there can seldom be found more than eighteen in attendance. The Protestants think that a man who is so opposed to the public schools as the priest has shown himself to be should be relieved from the obligations of school visitor. the Government Asylum. Washington, Oct. 25.—The Star says : "Copt. John P. Walker, of the third cavalry, who has caused a good deal of annoyance to the military authorities by his erratic actions when under military discipline, and who has more than once been relegated to the government asylum for the insane therefor, has again disappeared from there. It was only a short time ago that he escaped from the hospital, but was found and returned. This time he made a more successful escape, and is now supposed to be as far off as New York, word having been received from him that he wished his clothing and effects shipped him there. Since his recent return to the hospital a closer watch was kept upon him than formerly, but he succeeded in removing the bar to the window of his room, and with the aid of a rope made of sheets and pillow cases safely reached the ground and was off. It is probable that he will be apprehended and brought back by the military authorities. Several additional names of agents have been sent by Commissioner Dudley to Secretary Teller, with the recommendation that they be suspended, and it is probable that another list will be made out in a day or two. Two of these firms are among the most prominent ones in .the country. They employ many persons, send out lying circulars by the cord, and the bureau is provided with evidence of the shamefaced manner in which they have dunned their unfortunate clients, accompanying their demands for money with threats to have the cases concerned postponed or dropped, when the agent had no' power to prevent the approval of a claim once filed. The evidencn against some of the men recommended for suspension is believed to be . conclusive. One case is that of a deceased soldier's mother, who writes to the commissioner of pensions: "Something over a year ago I received a letter from N. W. Fitzgerald & Co., pension attorneys at Washington, stating that there were many who were entitled to pensions that were not aware of that fact. I answered him, and he sent me a blank to fill out stating the case. I gave him a full statement that my husband, though in feeble health, had several thousand dollars' worth of property at the time of my son's decease; that my husband died in 1875, but that he had left me some means. Fitzgerald informed me that I had a good claim, and at various times afterward he called on me through the ipails for money, I sent him $10, but having been informed by ap attorney of this town that Fitzgerald was misleading me, I wrote to know whether I have any claim or not." The woman has been informed that she has no claim, and that a plainer case of swindling could not be conceived.Presidential Preferences. Moijnk, 111., Oct. 25.—The Western Pjpwman, a largely circulated agricultural monthly published here, in its August number sent out a request to its subscribers asking every reader to send a postal card naming the person he desired to be the next president, The invitation has been generally accepted. Based on something over 30,000 preferences, the result is figured down as follows: Of the entire number of votes sent in James G. Blaine gets 22 per cent.; Chester A. Arthur, 14 per cent.; Benjamin F. Butler, 10 per cent.; Samuel J. Tilden, 9 per cent.: Robert T. Lincoln, 8 per cent, and John A Logan, 5 per cent. The votes show that Blaine is popular in the east and Arthur and Lincoln in the west. Butler's votes are mainly from the south, Louisiana sending a strong representation. Tildln is evidently the favorite candidate in Kentucky, In percentage Wade Hampton pairs off with Senator John Sherman and Roscoe Colliding with Gen. Sherman.

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct 25.—Mr. Christian K.

He blames a clergyman for having put the reporters on his track. He says there may be something in the clew, and he will follow it as soon a«-the excitement quiets down.

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 25,—In the United States circuit court Judge McCrary rendered a decision upon the question of the right of the state to regulate interstate commerce. The case arose out of a suit against the Illinois Central railroad company's 1 jceiver for damages for overcharges upon freight which was shipped over the company's road from points in Iowa to points in Wisconsin, and originated under the tariff law of 1847, since repealed. Judge McCrary held that the act in question, if it applied to through shipments, related to a subject in its very nature national, and if the power of the state to pass such an act were conceded, it would necessarily include the potfhr to discriminate against the commerce of states. For theeereasons such a law would be in violation of the federal constitution. It is not within the jDjwer of one state, in the case of a railroad, part of whose lines lie in an adjoining state, to fix the rates to be paid, for that would, in effect, give it the power to demand more than its share of a reasonable charge for the entire distance covered. It would be giving the laws of such a State extra territorial force. Easton, Pa., Oct. 25.—Peter C. Smull, in the Belvidere (N.

New York, Oct. 25.—The relations existing between the various branches of the democratic party in this city are not as cordial as some of the leaders would like to see. Thomas F. Grady, Tammany Hall candidate for senator in the sixth district, is the bone of contention. The county democracy refuse to support him and consequently each organization will put their own candidates in the field. The only union now is on the county ticket. „ An attempt, and almost a successful attempt, was made to defeat him at the election. Daniel Pratt, a Protestant democrat, was nominated for sohool visjtory on a Protestant democratic ticket, and the republican nominees were substituted for the Catholics on the regular democratic ticket. Most of the property owning Protestants supported this ticket, but the Protesant miners employed by ex-Senator Barnum were fearful that if .they departed from the beaten path of democracy they would be forced to look elsewhere for employment Therefore, they -voted the Catholic democratic ticket, and, therefore, the Catholic democratic ticket wae successful and Father Lynch is school visitor over nineteen schools in which there is not a pupil of his belief. He has suggested that some of the schools that have so slight an attendance be closed and the scholars be sent to the schools in which the attendance Is larger. He made the proposition on the plea of lowering the town tens, which are this year twelve mills or two ■"»»« greater than ever before. Bu the Protestant member* of the school hoard have steadily refused to listen to him. They do not consider that the erection of a Catholic school should interfere with the economy of the public school system. The state contributes 11,900 per year to the support of the school* at the town, and the remainder of the expense (13,800) is borne by the town. Another is that of a father whose claim was presented by E. H. Gels ton & Co. and rejected by the office. Shortly afterward the same claim was filed in the name of the mother. This operation netted Gelsen two fees, the second one being downright robbery, of course, as the rejection of the father's claim closed the case. Commissioner. Dudley is determined to make a clean sweep, now that the work has begun. He has had a circular printed inquiring of applicants for pensions the amount of fee paid to the attorney lu the case, the terms upon which it is being collected, and other circumstances worthy of mention. A copy will be mailed to every applicant on the office list, and the replies will show the methods of practicing attorneys. Mr. Dinsmore denied in positive terms that the Pennsylvania railroad company or any of its officers, agents, employes or confederates had influenced or induced him to commence this suit. To Adopt the Greenwich Kleryltall. R041E, Oct. 25.—The reiDort of the committee of the geodetic Association was presented at a general meeting of the conference and adopted after an animated debate. The report favors the universal adoption of the Greenwich meridian and also recommends, as the point of .departure of the universal hour and cosmopolitan dates, the mean noon of Greenwich. The conference hopes that, if the whole world agrees to the unification of longitudes and hours by accepting the Greenwich meridian, England will advance the unification of weights and moasures by joining the metrical convention of 1875. Tho government of Italy will be requested to officially communicate the foregoing action of the conference to all other nations.

St. Louis, Mo., Oct 35.—Sixty-three of the leaders in the late switchmen's strike have been indicted by the St. Clair county grand jury at Bellville, I1L The charge is conspiracy, except as against the most prominent ones, against whom three or four indictments have been found. They are not only charged with conspiracy but with intimidating and threatening and assaulting the men who took the places of the strikers. Five arrests were made, two In East St Louis and three in this city. Those arrested are William Wilson, Charles Joyce, Tony Ferringer, William McLaughlin, and Michael Bruzell. The last named is supposed,to have been the chief organiser of the strike. The strikers acknowledge their strike a failure, and are applying for their old places, but none of them are being taken back.
