On this they were encountered, by aa -oocopan ef the bouse, whom; they assaulted in bis and then made their Xaereaeecj toss piaa tar rw- berypfpr. Belknap, who known to carry targe sums of money and valuable about his personam first visit was when the men appeared at the front door late one night and asked the girl to call tb Doctor down stairs. Their strange actions aroosed the servant's suspicions, and she slammed- the door In their face. About two o'clock in the morning y' a'" few' days rlater Dr. Cowan, who sleeps in a room back of the office on the first floor, beard noises at the window opening out into the yard, lie got np and mode a noise, and heard the burglars run off.

Boeing that he was' discovered the man knocked the doctor' down, and another one came Trout the side of the wardrobe and kinked him several timee. He cried out as loud a he could, and the assailants escaped by the back way. When seen yesterday by an Kkquikkk reporter Dr.

Cowan was hardly able to walk trota hia Injuries. He s1d he had notified the police and furnished, the detective with as accurate a description of the intruders as be could. He ts firmly of the opinion that there was a plan tp rob Dr. Belknap, and the men bad been in the bouse some time when be discovered them. FACTS A51) FANCIES.

The. general list closed higher than opened, which Is a pretty good sign of better prices. Several of the stocks wert positively strong, notably Pacific Mail, which Is often the leader of a rise. The prospect of a settlement among the North-west road had much to do with the better feeling of the day. St.

Paul, it Is thought, may nave an advance, particularly as It has been sold of late by the small-walsted bears. Gould stocks showed the white feather during the morning rally, and shortly after went lower than the previous day. It was fairly after two o'clock before the load of despondency was lifted and things rallied enough to allow the poor bulls to sigh. Rochester add Pittsbcko got such aa impulse on the down track that she kept on falling during the rally of the balance the list- The most sanguine bull among the black- board watches only claims three points rally. kn concedes that the market will Mien be a sale.

Whejt will the temper Ah! that's the only and great question to the speculator. He should watch It. HeedlL Follow It. Opiktox seemed to grow that it was time for a rally, and that there was a turn on the long Bide. But underneath most every fellow is a bear.

The long expected decision in the Metropolitan Elevated troubles was handed down by Judge Van Brunt, to the relief of many anxious waiters. Wrkst the "pups" are all killed off, drowned, it will be time to count on a new litter. With worthless stocks shaken out of the market good stocks will be of more value. Mb. Gould permits or aids the fall' In stocks, otherwise Cam mack, Worishoeffer, Smith and all the bear crowd would be of no avail.

Ho could squeese them, any how. IT should be remembered that the heft of the trading Is done by the room, speculative brokers, scalpers and eighth-chasers, to whom rise ofone or two points is a big thing. They talk "aw fat bad" about Oregon Transcontinental In Mew York, and some of the papers sass the President "right smart." Yet the tissue calmly says it is put down to buy on. The great mystery to the uninitiated Is the weakness of Gould stocks. It is, doubtless, the old story of making the stocks he owns ick In order to cover his short lines on other properties.

Htuamoexy enough, the Southwestern fancies did not break, as all the fellows ex pected. Perhaps their turn may come to-day. Uottld seldom does a half job. What he goes for be gats. AT the meeting of delegates from the various Chambers of Commerce, held in Washington, for tho purpose of asking that silver coinage bo stopped, II.

P. Boyden was mBdeT3ecretary; PtTitotEi'v opened yesterday at lie, advanced to declined to esc, advanced to declined to Mic, advanced to declined to Vic, advanced to and closed at ftic, sales. Ama midday the bears Jumped on Jersey Central, and before you could wink she dropped one point. This rtock has stood above the wreck of matter and ruin oljfortunes as if she were copper-bottomed. Trie comment on tbe market Is "the pa tient is gradually slaking, and, though it oc casionally has feeble rallies, nnder the Influ ence of stimulants, it soon falls back again, finding a lower level than before." To an outsider there is too muoh talk of a collapse, and Iho utter worthlessness of some of the stocks that yet command a market, to make it certain that stocks are to go muoh lower before a considerable reaction.

When Gould sold Western Union below 68 and Missouri Pacific to 82, It looked for a moment as if there would be a rattle in the market: bot the balance of the list was brave ly bought, probably by the same party. Capital is on the side of the bulls. It was the big dividend-paying stocks that are now traded In so largely. The bulk of these things Is In tin boxes. Some day when tbe temper ehanges tbe truth will be suddenly dis covered.

What heaps of money have been sunk on be "new enterprise" of the last decade, from Ohio Central to West Bhorel Yet the Just suffer with the unjust. Western Union must yielo before an uncalled for rivalry that must wYeck all hands. It is to be noticed that so far the Vander- bllts have stood the racket amazingly Lake Shore surely can not be earning I per cent, at tbe cut rates prevailing. Either tho "old man" Is long of the stock or he hopes to settle matters soon. Ibui was a lively play among the leaders Just before the eloeev Missouri Paoifio rallied to dropped suddenly to 82, made 83, closed at Western Union from 68 to 68.

Movements have begun, and Mr. Gould may be said to have once more taken an active part. If you can guess what his moves to-day mean yon will have the key of the market. Tub opentng was steady and quiet. Less long stock dropping oat and wearing away prices.

A demonstration was mad against Missouri Paclfle In the first hour with which Union Paciflo and Union Telegraph sympathised somewhat, bat tbe others held obstinately and re rased to decline. By soon a rally was fairly la progress, aud one point had been gained en some things. Kxw Yobk, April JA The decline la Ore gon Improvement la ascribed to rumors that tbe company owes laborers 275,000, requires SbOO.00 to complete and oqulp Its projected road, has a floating Indebtedness of ttOO.OCO, and tbe refusal of tbe 3f ortbern Paclfle to surrender thirty thousand acres of coal land claimed by tbe Oregon luprovwaent. There is bearish talk against Missouri Pacific. Friends say the St Paul Is ail right.

Judge VanBrunt decided that tbe Metropolitan Ele vated was entitled to Judameat relieving 'all parties tn tbe action from tbe old agreement. The Oregon Improvement Company rumors are largely eoatradleted. Twelve hundred thousand gold dollars, was exported to-day. and six hundred thousand dollars is already engaged for shipment to-morrow. ksw roil Q70T4tiu rrrrs at.

Certainly this Is an important year in political affairs. Any greenhorn knows that the year of a Presidential election, from the time the little mnnleipal and township eon tests of April begin until the idea ot November have rendered their popular verdict in national concerns, is a bnsy time among tbe politicians of all calibers.

From the occupant of tbe White House down through all the grades of publlo service, even to the hoaxers and rakers of the Street-Cleaning Department, every body Is Interested, and has his favorite, for whom he Is bound to get in his best work. the telegraph and correspondence columns of all the papers barve been busy for a month past telling how tbe straws of little contests here and there, In city, connty and State, have been Indicating currents favorable to this or unfavorable to the other aspirant for tbe highest A little seven-by-nlne burg- somewhere in Pennsylvania chooses a delegate to some district convention favorable to Blaine, and the Important event mnst be telegraphed all over the nation. Seme benighted swamp- region of Illinois sends someone or two of its malaria-yellowed citizens to a county convention Instructed to oppose Logan, and the item Is deemed Important enough to demand the expense of a special dispatch to the big dallies of Chicago; and so it goes all over the land. Here Arthur bas an advocate, there ulaine gets a boom, elsewhere Logan lays out the rest of them. All the welfare of the nation hinges and turns on kuch minor events.

The political stew-pot has bee' otVthe ehlmney-erane here in Cincinnati a good wa 1ncl Kirfnn1tOi mer when the spring elections approatjedj and though the managing boaies d4S their best to keep themselves out of sight at that time, and only did their work behind the enrtain, all tbe same they that somehow every thing should, if possible, bring grist to their mills. The day before the spring nominating convention for city officers, with our usual impartiality, we pointed out to tome ot our aspiring friends among the Republican office-seekers the difficulties with which they were threatened. Our surprise is great that none of our friends of that political persuasion have Called on us since with a brass band to thank us for oar great klndnesi. We certainly expected that at least Major Jim Morgan would gather up a little squad and come around, as we cordially Invited him to do. But he didn't, and our reward only consists in the sweet consciousness of a friendly service rendered without hope ot fee or reward.

But our friendly services must not be restricted or our kind disposition restrained by the ungrateful failure to receive proper acknowledgment. For some reason or other tbe Republican press Is not maklne very prominent mention of the important fact that next Saturday the Republicans of Hamilton County are to choose delegates to the State Convention, which meets at Cleveland next week, April 23d and 24th. It therefore remains for tbe EjTQrrisrK to bring the fact into needful prominence. There are fifty-bight delegates to be elected. nd their Journey from here to Cleveland and back will take op all of three possibly four days, including the two allotted to the convention.

Therefore it will be a tolerably expensive trip. Counting railroad fare, hotel bills and Incidentals, the Journey will have the effect to quite attenuate a new fifty-dollar silver certificate. Therefore not a great pro portion even of the large class of self-sacrific ing Republicans with which Hamilton County abounds are in tbe condition of pe cuniary plethora to warrant them In attempting the delegates Ip. Ho, then, the bosses have an Idea that it lint necessary to make tbe election such Very prominent matter, or otherwise there might be a lot of delegates elected who couldn't goat all. But this Is not our Idea of the fair thing to do.

Wetlilnk all the boys ought to have a chance, and then If any thing should prevent any of them going after having been duly and honorably elected after the forms and methods provided by the Ba- ber law, some of the better endowed brethren can arrange to serve as proxies, snd then the Impecunious Brother can find it both agree able and profitable to remain at home. That's the reason why we think the fact of the elec tion next Saturday, betwean tbe hours of and 8 p. for delegates to Cleveland, ought to be prominently announced. Then there is another thing that is a mat ter of serious concern tons. We have often pointed with pride to the fact that here in Hamilton County we have of Republican office-holders, and of those who would like to be office-holders, and of those who used to be office-holders the ins, the outs and the ousted about as mild-mannered, unrevenge- ul and self-denying a set of gentlemen as can be found anywhere outside of the Cannibal Islands.

Then we bave often delighted our selves with the contemplation of tbe brotherly barmony that exists among the cliques and clam of that grand old party. And our tollel tude is awakened lest these gentle-minded. generons creatures should in their anxiety for each others' welfare either forget altogether to go to the polls on Saturday evening, or on tbe other hand rush thore pell mell. each determined that the other shall be chosen to go to Cleveland. Just suppose, for Instance.

that Billy Cappeller's friends in tbe Second District should get on their walking boots and do their level best' to send to Cleve land a whole lot of men who would Insist on making Amor Smith the dis trict delegate to the Chicago Convention In June; or suppose tbat dear old Ben, over in the First District, flushed with. Joy over the handsome majority by which his ward re. elected him to Council, should gather bis hosta and put tbem on the war-path to elect Cleveland delegates who would insist upon sending Ben Bntf erworth as their delesraU; to Chicago. Can't any body and every body see at a glance that It is a chief duty to arrest such catastrophes as theseT They would be utterly subversive of all party discipline, and If such things were allowed who can tell what tbe end would bef It must not be allowed. Tbe great interests at stake forbid It.

We call upon tbe valiant Clark Montgomery, with his Revenue boats, and tbe noble Colonel Whitfield, with bis Post-office hordes, to come to our rescue and make this primary election sueh an oocaslon aa it deserves to be made. Can't these gentlemen see that all the pollt- eal Interests of tbclr friend Arthur are In tbe scale, and that tbe scale will be irretrievably tipped bis way or tbe other way by the result of the Cleveland Convention And then, are there not other interests at There are tbe Congressional contests of next fall. This State Convention business will, have much to do la settling them. If the Gunny bag Breeches can not go to Cleveland from the First District and be eleeted to Chicago, what chance can Foraker have of tbe Con gressional nomination? Does the Honorable Benjamin -Eggleslott intend to- permit his protege and neighbor to be beaten in hia own door-yard Does Billy Cappeller, tbe latest investigator. Intend" to let Asoor 'Smith or Saheiby Or any ef these ebaps walk on with the plum right from nnder his nasal organ, and se destroy utterly hia own Influence Fact Is, the boys must be around.

It win do well enough for George Cox and Leo 6ebot and Jim Morgan and Sam Beresford, with their eyes upon the probabilities ot next fall, to keep out of the State Convention squabble; but the rest of these patriots must do something, and they most get la their work with eommend-able promptness, for the time ts short.

The First Visitation From tho Sraad Destroyer Since 1873. For the first time in twelve years Ludlow, this morning felt the need of a Fire Department, and, in consequence, she appealed to Cincinnati for aid.

The fire was first discovered, at half-past one o'clock in the cellar of A. H. Korea- man's dry-goods store on Ash street, be tween Locust and Carneal streets. Tbe flames quickly spread throughout the whole building, which is of brick, two and a half stories high, and in dimensions 80 by 70 feet. The upper part of the building was used as a residence.

It was entirely con sumed, and the loss will approximate W.000. There was f900 Insurance on the stock, but a small portion of which was saved. The flames then enveloped a double cottage adjoining, tbe property of Jasper Day, occupied by him and his family. This also was destroyed. At two o'clock tbe fire had seised niton the rroeery store of J.

H. Grieuie on the other side of the dry goods store, and had laid it in ruins. This, also, was of brick, two and one-half steries in height. There was no insurance, and the building, with a large part of tbe Is destroyed, entailing a loos of over G.0"Q. Tho total loss from tha fire is olaead There was no organized Fire Deonrtmnnt in the vlllnce, and the frightened citizens had only buckets wltb which to cope with the name.

Tbe Cincinnati Fire Department sent over two engines, which. did not arrive on the ground until the fire had already spent its lorce. Houses and buildings adjoining the burning ones were badly scorched and caught lire many times, but were kept from burning by the strenuous eflorte of the bucket brigade. Tbe streets, were crowded with frightened people who were hastily moving the furniture from their houses, fearing that the whole town was about to be swept away. STEOKAMP'S SNOOZE, The Strange Freak of a Drunken II an Xdist Night.

5 A lady living at 51 Baynilller street stepped out in the back yard about ten o'clock last night, when to her horror and surprise she stepped upon a man who lay on the brick walk in a condition much like that when he first came into this world. The fellow Jumped up with a cry that -made the lady think he was one of tbe museum wild men. Of course, she was scared, and screamed several times. Several male occupants of the house ran out and grabbed the fellow, and slugged him, and then called patrol-waeon No. 4.

The officers wrapped hiui up in the stretcher, and his clothes, which were scattered ail over the yard, were gathered together and thrown Into thewsgon after him. At Third-street Station the strange and bewildered individual gave bis name as Joseph Strokamp, and said. he lived at No. 26 Dandridpe street. It seems that he was on a soree and wandered Into the yard, and, becoming possessed of the idea that ne was at home, undressed nimsell and retired on tbe cold ground.

The weather was pretty chilly, but it didn't seem to make muoh difference with Strokamp. A YOUNG BUROLAB Caught With Stun Taken From a Billiard Hall. Some time during night before last thieves get into Rose's billiard hall, over the Atlantic Garden, and stole a set of billiard-balls, three nunarea eigara ana a quantity or cigarettes. They had -effected an entrance by forcing open a rear window, which tbey reached by going through tbe water-closet on the second floor of the Palace Hotel. A young man who was the last to leave tbe hall when it was closed Monday night was suspected.

Last evening Mr. Rose saw him in BUlighelmer's hall and called him out on the street and accused him of tbe burglary.

He said he had a pal in tbe Job named "John," who boarded on Fifth street, but "John" could aot be found. FRIGHTFUL ACCIll EJTT. A Man's Shall Broken By the Bursting of Aa Emery Wheel.

About five o'clock yesterday afternoon an emery wheel burst at the Robert Mitchell Furniture Factory, Injuring one man In a terrible manner. George W. DeOarmo, who was tbe nearest to tbe wheel at the time of tbe explosion, was struck over the left eye by a. piece of the stone, and fell prostrate, bleeding from an ugly wound. Dr.

O. D. Xorton, was summoned Saiekly, and be found tbat a portion of De armo's skull, About tbe else of a silver-quarter, bad been broken and the pieces forced back into the brain. There was but one thing to do, and that was to try tbe trephine Cp ration. The wounded man was removed to Dr.

Norton's on Fourth street, and the operation successfully performed, the skull being removed from the brain ia three different pieces. The doctor says there Is every hope for the man's recovery.

Several 'loads of brick bave been damped on Ninth street and carried down into the cellar, and tbe work has been going on quietly but vigorously.

Opera-house last night to greet Miss Clara Bernstein on the occasion of the testimonial concert tendered her la every 1 comprised the very best xnusie-lotlng element' of' the eltyy- and her success -with the audience was as complete as tbe meat exacting could re? quire. "Every thing was applauded to the Wjth all participating.

Indeed, to such an extent was this carried that the programme was almost doubled ia length. Tbe ample stage was handsomely set. At either side were tastily-arranged masses of foliage plants, wblle.the mala portion was occupied by those members of the' Cincinnati Orchestra who, the leadership fMr. Michael Brand, lent material aid. Mr.

George D. Kewhatl and Mr, George Bowen also appeared In favorite numbers. It remains to speak or Miss Bernstein, or Mile Bernetta, tbe name under which she sang in Italy; She Is undeniably a handsome woman, not in tha sense that tbe term is generally accepted, but in the way of requirements for the successful pursuit of her ehoeen art. She has a bright, intelligent face, fine figure and graceful carriage, and was thoroughly easy and se -possessed In A warm round ot applause greeted her first appearance for the recitative and air "Casta Diva," from "Norma." What surprised most was the wonderful range of her voice. It ot large volume, too, and showed fine possibilities for strongly dramatio roles.

Her middle tones are far the best, and tbe sometimes doubtful character of the extreme opper notes tends to raise a doubt as to the advisability of cultivating these when the material was at hand for a mtczzo soprano voice tbat would have been mora even through its entire compass and more pleasing to the ear. However, all this Is said with a reservation, for we do not feel that the young lady Is at her beet on the concert stage. She Is only half herself. Hcenlo surroundings and the spirit that such things inspire are a powerful aid, and Miss Bernstein will never be thoroughly known to nntil such opportunity o.lerg. Ail the selections she made nse of may be cited as strictly test numbers.

She was recalled after each one, aud generously rewarded with floral trtbntes of handsome and varied design. She will be beard to-morrow evenlue aa tbe principal soprano In Mr. Nem bach's new opera, "Harvest Home," that will be snug in Robinson's, The 80th Of the present month. Mr. and Mrs.

Hensehel. of Boston, assisted by the Apollo Club, of this city, will give a concert in Robinson's Opera-bouse.

Max Bruch; "Romance" Auoer: songs from Klnculey's "Water Babies," Henscnel, for Mrs. Henschel, and a ballad, "Henrv.

the Fowler," Loewe; air from "Rlnaldo," Handel; air, "Jeando Parts," Boil-diea; "Couplets de Vulcain" (Philemon et Briucls), Gounod, Mr. Henschel, and a duet for Mr. and Mr. Henschel, "Oh, that we two were Mayintr," The selections of the club will be made at an early. date.

Tbe Cincinnati and Germanla Mannerobors have consolidated, and are now known as tbe Cincinnati. Meslc Vereln. Tbe new association seems to have been Imbued with new life, and Is very energetic.

New Son, of the Journal presented charges against Devlne. foreman of the composing-room, alleging unfair and tyrannical treatment, and requesting an Investigation, to be followed by his removal and the substitution of a Union man.

Kew de clined to entertain any charges against De vine, and there tbe matter stood Until to night, when the Union again met and adopted the following: Resolved, Tbat the Indianapolis 'Journal office be, and tbe same Is, declared and that all Union printer are hereby pro hibited from working therein nntil said es tablishment Is made fair and square. Wm. Stevenson, aliae Kokomo Bill, a wit-nese in the Barrels black-mailing case, has been indicted for perjnry. This evening an infant was left on Wm. Long's door-step, with note: "This baby was born from aa honored mother.

Its name Is Goldy. We make you and your wife a present of It." Long transferred the foundling to police care. 'A gang of adroit burglars are working the town. This morning It was discovered tbat five business bouses bad been entered, but nothing of special value was taken. General Gresham and Governor Porter de cline to permit the use of their names for delegateaat large to the National Convention for the reason that, being office-holders.

It would be indelicate. While nothing has been beard from Harrison, bis friends continue to nrge him as a delegate, notwith standing he is a possible dark horse. If it is a matter of indelicacy for Porter and Gresham, being office-holders, to stand for delegates, tbe same rule, It is argued, applies to Harrison, who Is a Senator. Besides, it will injure Colonel Dick 'Thompson, who expects the Chairmanship of the Indiana delegation. But few of the delegates to the State Convention have so far reported.

It la said of the National delegates already appointed In this State that Gresham new has as many friends among them as Harrison, and for this reason Harrison's presence wilt be an additional source of embarrassment, should It fall to them to vote for an Indiana man on the Presi dential tioket. Preceding tbe resolution was a preamble citing the foreman as unfair, unjust and unscrupulous; that he bad played the part of a Tyrant ana ouuy; naa asea nis position the advantage of bis son: bad denied the right of petition, and had been guilty of other offenses, all of which the Union stood ready tn prove, could the printers be granted a hearing. The resolution will go Into effect to-morrow, at which time all Union printers will withdraw from the olflce. Since the great strike in IK7S the Journal haa been a non-Dnton etablishment. and the management claim tbat only thirteen Unionists are now in Its employ; but It Is thought the number will be found greater.

The action. ot the Union will prove embarrassing In politleal sense, coming as It does upon the eve-of a campaign, and doubly so totome of the Journal's pet candidates, who were bot recently nominated to high pdsitlonR. M. M. Hurley, of Kew Albany, and a member of the Republican State Central Commit tee, reports that 8.
