Uooda at Bottom Prloesjl THE MAT?:?- OAi Tiio Flurry Over ths Ilecont Failure Nearly at An End, And Fears that Other Banks Will Be Involved Being Eapidly Dissipated. General Grant, Though a Heavy Loser' Safe From Anything Like Absolute Ruin. Nkw York, May 7. The failures ol yesterday are the sole topic of conversa tion on the street to-day. Lon before the Stock Exchange opened groups of speculators were gathered around Its en trance, despite the heavy rain, excitedly discussing the situation aud indulging In speculation as to what the day would bring forth. Many expressed tho belief that the worst was over, and that no further failures would occur. Some even went so far as to assert that before many days the Marine Hank would resume. This was scoffed at by the more conserva tive speculators, who asserted that the only time the bank would open its doors would be to allow the entrance of a re ceiver. However this may be, the Insti tution remains closed ami there Is uotthi; slightest indication that business will be resumed. THE AMOUNT INVOLVED In the failure of the Marine Bank is vari ously estimated at from one to live mil lions. It was the depository for a larue number of private bankers; held about one million in New York city funds; held all the surplus revenue of Long Island City; is supposed to hav had a large de posit from the Erie K&ilway, and besides had a large line of regular customers on the street and throughout the country, much larger than its capital, which was ouly $100,000, warranted. Its President, James 1). Fish, Is one of the oldest financiers in New York, and was a bank president here when there were only seven others. He was looked upon as a shrewd, conservative uiau, and his judgment was always considered sound Iu money matters. Although not one of the luminaries, he was one of the strone men of Wall street, and perhaps one of the best known. He originated several Ideas which have of late years broadened and developed the money market; was one of the founders of the Produce Exchange; and in various ca pacities proved himself to be a most careful aud judicious manager. During President Graut's administra tion Mr. Fish attended to much of his financial business, and a strong friend ship sprang up between the two. Young U. S. Grant, the President's son, having shown great business talent, it was partly through the instrumentality of Mr. Fih that he was put on the street. He made a number of fortunate investments, and was so careful and so prosperous in a small way that upon his retirement from the Presidency General Grant placed NEAKLY ALL HIS MONEY Ht the disposal of his son. It may be re membered that on the very day and al most lu the very hour that General Grant was notitled of his defeat at Chicago, a telegram brought him the intelligence that "the boy" had made $100,000 lor him. When the General read his Chicago dis patch he turned In his chair ami said: "Well, a man can't have everything his own way, the boy has made a good stroke to-day, However." U. S. Junior and Ired ward formed a partnership about four years ago, and about two years later the General and Mr. Fish became special partners in the concern, each paying in $100,000. Young Grant had a small fortune of his own, and his marriage to Senator Chaffee's daughter Is supposed to have given him $400,000 more. It is not kuown what capital Fred Ward possessed, but he was a shrewd young broker, and for a long time the firm made money "hand-over- (1st." They dealt In risks which some of the larger houses wouldn't touch, such as mining stock and the smaller class of corporation bonds. They also advauced money on a high rate of iuterest to Government contractors, tak ing their chances on the contracts being properly filled, and on the Government making payment for work unfinished. When they won on this paper they coined mouev, but when they lost, thev lost ev erything. How far the crash will INVOI.VK GENERAL GRANT Is not yet known, but an Independence is secured to him for life, there being $250, 000 of trust funds deposited to his credit with Drexel, Morgan &. Co., the interest on which he is emitted to. This is the fund raised for him by the wealthy men of New York a few years ago. The fail ure cannot affect it. His private fortune, however, will probably be eaten up In his desire to save his credit and the credit of his sons. Fred. D. Grant, it will be re membered, resigned his Colonelcy in the army about three years ago to take a po sition iu a Southern railroad. He finally became connected also with Grant & Ward, but the extent of his interest is not kuown. New Y'ork, May 7. Cashier Vail of tho Garfield Bank says the Marine Bank owed his bank $1,000, and that tho Gar field Bank has no paper not sound. Long Island City Is threatened with bankruptcy, because the taxes for the year were tleposited lu the Marine Bank. General Grant told General Collis Inst night ho didn't know exactly how he stood, but If he had gone dowu town early in the day tho failure of Grant & Ward would never havo occurred. It Is generally believed that the General lost $100,000, and his son what ho had; but the General's presented fund of $250,000 remains intact. Mr. Camp, of tho Clearing House, said to believed tho Marino Bank would bo wound up. The failure was maiuly duo to overdrafts by Grant & Ward. No other banks are in troublo. Several examined yesterday, about the standing of which there had been adverse rumors. From what is learned this morning tho collapse of Grant & Ward was mainly owing to the drop In various tlinisy fancy stocks during tho past year, since which there has been some rchypothecation of securities similar to the Bonner case a few years ago, It is charged that a Brooklyn con corn which recently put up $300,000 se curities with Ward for loan, are unablo to gtt tBe moiio or coateral bacK, WhhI N Ht tho office this morning. It Is stated that the firm has settled outstand ing louus to a large amount. Not Quits Bulned. Nkw Yokk, May 7. It Is stated that General Grant's New York City property and the Long Branch residence Is settled upon Mrs. Grant and the $250,000 lund Is in trust, guaranteed by the ex-Governor Morgan estate. A CONGRKSSION'AL. TILT. Crtmerala Keifer and Slocum Indulge In a Few Personalities Over the Fits John Porter Matter. Washington, D. C, May 7. There was a lively tilt in the House this morn ing. In discussing the Fitz John Torter bill, Mr. Keifer spoke of Porter as bear ing on his forehead the brand of con demnation, and in closlug said be had not intended to say anything against Porter. General Slocum said ho was glad he had done so, for General Porter and the country would regard It as a compliment. He was surprised that Mr. Keifer had not brought In Charles Garfieldand Elden (witnesses In the Kelfer-Boynton case) to sustain him lu his attack on Fitz John Porter. Applause on the Democratic side. Mr. Keifer retorted that he was sure the gentleman would resort to something to support Porter which was below the dignity of a member. Applause on the Republican side. After debate the House refused to refer the bill to the Committee ou Military Af fairs, and then refused to concur iu tho Senate amendments. The Cause of Charley Ford's Suicide Crazy for Morphine. Richmond, Mo., May 7. Bob Ford has arrived here from Kansas City to attend the fuueral of his brother Charley, but Is not Inclined to talk much about the causes leading to his brother's suicide. He de nies the report that Charley was financial ly embarrassed. The suicide's wife, formerly Miss O'Hara, It turns oat was mistaken for one of his sis ters. The young widow caine up from St. Louis this morning. They were married May 15, 1883. She takes Charley's death very hard, and on meeting the family broke down complete ly. The funeral Is to take place at two this afternoon to the cemetery near the Ford homestead. The family seem to think that Charley's act was not premed itated, but that while waiting for his father to come from town with the mor phine he found the pain unendurable, aud knowing that he would probably not live long, suddenly decided on suicide to es cape his afflictions. ON' TRIAL FOH M CUD Ell. E. B. Wheeler Arraigned for the Mur der of Print Matthews In Copiah County Miss. Ha7.lehirst, Miss., May 7. The trial of E. B.

Memtiiis, Tknn., May 7. A fatal affair occurred yesterday at Marion, Crittendeu County, this State, between W. U. Hardin, ex-Sheriff, and a man named Murray.
