Echoes of the Panic.
Associated Press.
Chicago, June 16.—local paper
says : “Kershaw & Co., will meet all dentands
for margins made upon them today,
notwithstanding their failure to go
through the clearing, house yesterday.
The announcement of the firm’s
complete solvency comesin an official
way and from sources that cannot be
questioned. The report that Rosenfeld
began suit against Kershaw is a mistake.
The rumors doubtless grew out
ol the fact that Lindblom began
suit and guarnisheed the
American Exchange National bank, laying
his damages at $25,000, although it
only involvesa check tor $10,000. Rosenfeldhas
commenced suit against Wilshire
and Eckert, but he Jias not garnisheed
the bank. This statement is in
the nature of a promise that $600,000,
which will be made up forthe fiim today,
will be paid in full, $300,000 having
been paid yesterday. This will tide
over a large number ot small houses,
which are now hanging on.
In generaljinancial circles the second
day of the panic was even more quiet
and eventful than the first. There seems
to be no doubt that all the banks have
demanded wide margins on their wheat
loans, or that collateral now held by
them is more than sufficient to save
them from loss. The banks have not
kept the condition of their books to
themselves,but prudently let one another
know just how they stand. All that the
board of trade now asks of the banks is
that they do not ask for more collateral.
If they do, the grain men look fora panic
of the worst kind.
Notice was posted up in the window of
Kershaw & Co’s, office this morning
which stated that the firm expected to
pay all differences today.
When the market opened at 9:30 a.
m.. the first sales were seventyone for
June and seventythree for July. The
failures of yesterday numbered fifteen.
They were Crosby & Co., $75,000; H. R.
Matthews, $60,000; J. A. Edwards & Co.,
$50,000; B. M. Crafts & Co., $40,000; B.
J. McCleary & Co., $25,000; Pickering &
Co., $20,000; S. D. Eldredge &
Co., $18,000; Gregg. Son & Co.,
$15,000; Hord Bros. & Co., $10,000; T. E.
Balding & Co., $10,000; Hibbard & Co.,
$10,000; M. S. Robinson & Co., $8,000;
Yourt & Bros., only $5,000; S. C. Orr,
$5,000. Total, $361,000. Including the
failures of the day’ before, M. Rosenfeld
& Co., Hammill & Brine, aq_d E. E.
Bailey & Co., there is a total of nineteen
firms, with aggregate liabilities approximating
$2,000,000.
The facts in regard to the deposit of
money tor Kershaw & Co., yesterday at
the American bank, on which
he founded his promise to
pay in full, are made public this morning.
Wilshire did deposit $600,000 to
the credit of Kershaw & Co., yesterday
morning. WhenC. J. Kershaw left there
at 8 o’clock, after an hour’s consultation
with Wilshire and several bank directors,
there was nearly $800,000 on
deposit subject, as he supposed, to his
check. He hurried down to the office of
Armour & Co. At 10:45 be was told his
checks were being thrown out by the
American Exchange National bank.
The trouble was that immediately
after Wilshire produced $600,
000, to go as he supposed,
to the credit of Kershaw, Irwin, Green
& Co. demanded half of it. President
Irwin is senior partner in this house and
had this advantage, that he could credit
the money, as he was disposed to. When
Kershaw’s check for $200,000 from the
house went down for certification, it
was thrown out. Some big checks had,
however, gone through all right before,
aggregating perhaps $150,000
Armour said this morning: “ The
amount of loss to this market is not
nearly so severe as some unfortunate
ones are claiming. Most of the failures
so far are of men who were broke before
this panic, and who were waiting for
a good excuse. Nobody can lose
money on Kershaw, for he is margined
way down. I offered 72 34 for one half
million bushels of wheat to a bank
yesterday, when the market on the board
was nominally 70 cents, and the bank
would not sell it. The banks all say
they will not sell. There would have
been a great deal of cash wheat taken
yesterday, but you could not do business.”
Dynamite Plotters.
Associated Press.
London, June 16.—The following is
from an official source: “Information
has been received in London which leaves
no doubt the dynamiters have arranged
to commit an outrage or series of outrages
during jubilee week,but the authorities
have full knowledge of the conspiracy
and those engaged in it, and are
confident they will defeat the plotters*
For months past reports of the movements
of plotters abroad and their probable
accomplices in England have
been received in Lon don amost
daily. The chief ports have
been watched during the same period
in view of the arrival of certain suspects
without previous notice having 'been received
from British agents abroad. The
movements of Patrick Casey and his asst 
ciates in Paris, who have been very active
lately, have been closely followed by
special detectives, and others outside
the Casey ring are also known to have
been watched. O’Donovan Rossa’s
complaint to the New York police on
June 3d, was absurd. He requires little
watching. Others in New York and
elsewhere are more important and are
constantly being shadowed and reported
up.”
Troops Ordered East.
Associated Press.
Washington, June 16.—An order
has been issued from the war department
directing Company B., Fourth
Cavalry, now in Arizona Territory, and
Company B. Sixth Cavalry, now in New
Mexico, to garrison Fort Meyer, near
this city. Both these companies have
seen long and arduous service in the
Indian country. The Fourth Cavalry
Co., under command of Captain Lawton,
took a prominent part in the Geronfrno
campaign and is now chasing the hostile
Apaches in Arizona. It will not take its
new station until relieved by Gen. Miles.

LOTTERY LUCK.
Dallas, June 16.—The topic of conversation
in railroad circles today was
Charles H. Funnell’s luck. Mr. Funnell
had onetenth of ticket ;No. 52,749 in
the Louisiana Lottery, and consequently
drew $30;ooo. Mr. Funnell is a native of
Canada and thirty three years of age.
He has been in the railroad business
eighteen years. He was at first with the
Missouri Pacific at St. Louis and afterwards
wiih the same road at Galveston.
When the Texas and Pacific went into
the hands of the receivers he was appointed
chief clerk in the general freight
agent’s office, which position he still
holds.
FIENDISH CRIMES.
Dallas, June 15.—For several days it
has been known that the authorities had
their attention attracted to a new outrage,
which, in the interest of justice,
was withheld from the public. The vietims
of this outrage, committed under
the most atrocious circumstances, are
two colored girls,3 and 10 years old, residing
on Camp street. After the crime,
leaving the children for dead, the demon
fled and for several days his whereabouts
was a mystery, but it was understood
at a late hour tonight that he has
been located, with the certainty of his
arrest within fortyeight hours.

A BLOODY BREAK BY HILL
COUNTY PRISONERS.
The Sheriff and His Deputy Attacked,
But Come Out First Best—Cutting
Affray at Houston—
Capt. Hay Out on Bail.
A BREAK. FOR LIBERTY.
Hillshoro, June 15.—About 12:30 p.
m., today a bold attempt to escape was
made by four or five of the prisoners at
the county jail. As Sheriff Cox and
Deputy Lee Graham entered the main
hall to feed the prisoners, they locked
the main door behind them and threw
the combination on all the cell doors
save one occupied by Steve McClanahan,
the alleged crazy prisoner, which
door is always left open. They then
opened the inner door and Deputy Graham
stepped in to deposit their
meals, Sheriff Cox standing at
the door. Four prisoners, Nip Allan,sentenced
for horsestealing; Granville Oliver,
indicted for horse theft; Steve Me
Clanahan. sentenced for horse theft, and
Prince Jackson, colored, sentenced for
assault with intent to murder, were concealed
in McClanahaa*s cell, and as
Graham stepped inside the runround
they rushed out. He immediately steppad
batk into the main hall, but before
the door could be closed they rushed
against it and were in ' the main hall.
Nip Allen had a brickbat tied in one end
of an undershirt sleeve and hit Graham
on the,head, stunning him. Prince Jackson,
then jumped on Graham, and theother
three on Sheriff Cox. He drew his
pistol and fired, but with three men on
him he missed the mark. They struck
him on the head twice, when he weakened
and fell to his knees. They, jp'abbed
his pistol and after a scuffle secured
the keys, and unlocked the outer
door which would have admitted them
to freedom had they gotten through it,
but just as they succeeded in unlocking
it, Herman Eastland appeared on the
scene with a shotgun and, poking • it
through the iron bars, fired. Jackson
then grabbed the gun and succeeded in
pulling’it from Eastland. At this juncture
Nip Allen shot Eastland in the
head with the sheriff’s pistol. Mrs. Cox
rushed in where the battle was raging,
and as the r.egro Jackson threw the gun
down on her husband and attempted to
fire, she knocked it aside and the
weapon failed to fire. As feoon as Graham
recovered he went to the assistance
of Sheriff Cox, who recovered the
keys and locked the door, and, with the
keys as his only weapon, he fought the
four prisoners, one of whom was armed
with a pistol, one with a shotgun and another
with a slungshot, driving them
back into their cells and preventing their
escape. The alarm having been sounded
by the gunshot, the hall leading to the
jail was crowded by this time with citizens
armed with pistols, guns. etc. Sheriff
Cox was cut on the head in four places
and has a bruise on one arm. Mr. Eastland’s
wounds are painful though not
necessarily dangerous. Deputy Graham’s
wounds are painful but slight.
There were nine prisoners upstairs,
though only Four took part in the fight,
and all four of those were badly cut by
the keys in the hands of Sheriff Cox.
McClanahan, who has been playing
crazy for two or three months, was in the
thick of the fight and as soon as the
fight was over went back to his crazy
antics.
A BLOODY FIGHT.
Houston, June 15.—Tonight a fearful
affray took place at a boardinghouse
in the Fifth Ward. The house is kept
by Mrs. Hennessy. The difficulty was
between Ed Powers and Jasper Bilby.
Powers’ throat was gashed on the left
side about three inches. He also had
two stabs in his arms. Bilby received a
shot through the right thigh. Mrs. Hennessy
received a shot in one of her arms.
After Powers received the cut in his
throat he was taken to the Fifth Ward
Hotel where the wounds were sewed up.
About two “years ago,Powers was shot
by a tramp near Overton while stealing
a ride on a passenger train. The conductor
of the train was killed at the
time. Owing to the excitement that
prevails and the lateness of the hour no
particulars can be obtained a? to how
the difficulty commenced. It is evident
Bilby used the knife and Powers the
pistol. Powers is in great danger.
ADMITTED TO BAIL.
San Antonio, June 15.—Capt. Silas
Hay, fatherinlaw of the late C. B. Me
Kinney, sheriff of LaSalle county, who
was charged with killing George Hill at
Cotulla, and applied for bail and was refused,
had the decision of the lower
court reversed today* and was admitted
to bail in the sum of $10,000 before
Judge Noonan this evening, the case
having been transferred to this county on
change of venue. In the case of Jim
McCoy, the slayer of McKinney, who was
refused bail and appealed, the ruling of
the lower court was sustained and the
prisoner was refused bail.
