MINING PANIC.
Boom in Pacific Coast Mining Stock
- Knris q xiaatroas CUpe.
San Fraxcisco, Dec. S. The exclte-
j ment which prevailed yesterday in mining
1 shores has not been equaled, since- IS7& Old
stock speculators who thought tho glory of
the Golden State had departed with the uevr
constitution, braced up and looked on with
amazement at the crowds that besieged tho
brokers offices! The facts that Consoli
dated Virrlnia had reached nearly fifty
seemed to only whet their appetite to get
more, and when the more prudent ones
to.'d them the tide was about to turn, they
only laughed in their faces and said: "O.
it's good for a hundred." When the morn
ing board opened, Ophir was sent to 31",
the highest price reached since the big
Sierra Nevada deal, when It sold for. an
even hundred. Gould and Curry, not to bo
outdone, went to 13X and then Consoli
dated Virginia, which closed Wednesday
niglit at 4914. opened at 52. Yesterday
morning every thing boomed and fortunes
were to be had for the asking of them.
The session, however, had hardly closed
when news arrived from iruna City.
Nev.. that the Fiankels had Kone up for
million. This was a staggerer, and th
weak oces sold off. Hardly had the people
recovered from the blow when the-an
nouncement was made that R. C. Hooker,
one of the stauuehest brokers of Pine street.
and 6on-in-Iaw of ex Senator istewart, c
Nevada, had pulled down his blinds with
liabilities runtime up Into the iiunureus n
thousand!). Had this latter aiinounceiueu
been quickly -flowed by another
enuallv irrave Jchmaeter. the result would
have been a general stampede all along the
line, . being ruin . to many, rortunately
none' took place, and those who were play
ing for their all were given a few minutes
breathing time before the worst overlook
them. Owing to these features the Sa
Francisco board resolved to hold no session
at 11:30. but to have the next at two p. m.
This was to allow brokers to overhaul thei
books and give them a chance to see where
they stood. .
. When the second session opened Consoli
dated Virginia dropped to 42. The news was
quickly communicated to the street and To
the second time during the day a pani
seemed imnfinent. This was rendered still
more acute when the announcement wen
Torth that Greenbaumc btrauss had sus
pended for nearly a million. ; They were

MOEN WILL MOAN.
"Tine" -Wllnon, Accused by P. r Morn of
Ittarkmailing, Open the Clone t and
Show the Skeleton lie Claim to be
Moen's Kirt but Inconveniently-Karly
Vora Son.
.Pkovidesce, It. L, Dec. 2. Unable to
bear the strain upon his taiud any longer,
"Doc" Wilson, broken down in health and
weeping like a child, told tho great secret
which has existed between him cad P. L..
Moen, of 'Worcester, for bd many, years.
He told the story in the presence of four
reputable citizens, who furnished, it to the
press. '
'I am looked upon as a blackmailer,'
he said, "and those who believe I haver
been bleeding that old man hokl ro in as
much contempt as a yellow dog. But I
will not stand it any longer. I am mora
sinned against than sinning, and now tha
truth shall be known. My name is not
Wilson, nor am I the son of James Wilson.
My father is. tho man who is accusing mo
of blackmail, and my name is Levi Moeu,
the lawful son of P. L. Moen, of Worces
ter." Mr. V Hson then went on to tell tne story,,
of his birth and the wrong done him by
his father. His story is that he is the ou
of Mocn's first wife, and that ho wts L.k-n
'a few months after the marriage. Moen
being a deacon and professedly a high
toned christian, did not wish to face tha
scandal of such an early birth for his first
.born, no a bargain was made with ono
Jonas Wilson, of Danielsouvillc, Couu., a
stage driver, by which the babo was
transferred to the latter'a tcare,
and was broughto up as a Wilson. Tho
boy lived and toiled in the humblo sphere
to which otio says Moen consigned him,
and it was not until he was a young maa
grown that he learned the secret' of his
birth. For that secret ho was indebted
to the religious remorse of his supposed
father, Jonas Wilson, who, being Oon his.
death-bed, and not caring to-pass the por
tals with the.burdcn on his soul, drew tho
lad toward him and told him" who lie was.
After Wiison died the young fellow se
off for Worcester to meet' his father face
to-face. Theirlirst meeting, Wilson says,
was exactly as has bceu described. He
did meet Moen on that particular morning
p and after observing the" signs of pealth
and luxury that cabounded, he demanded
of Moen somo reparation for the wrong
done to one who sliouldbo tho heir to all.
Moen at first refused to acknowledge the
lad and woul have driven him forth, but
the boy "faced his millionaire pnrejit
defiantly and upbraiding him forj he wrong
done his mother and himself he said:
'I will force you to acknowledge ir.?,
and world shall know you for what you
are.' Then the banker Lccumo alarmed'
and gave me 100." 0
By appointment ho met Moon tho next
day and consented to shield his unnatural
father from shamed The father had in tjfe
meantim'ti married again.ijtfter the diut-h.
of "Doc's" mother.o a.nJ married into a
family which would have scorned Mvcn,
had they known of tho scandal. Then, ac
cording to Mr. Wilson's story, tho,
Wilsons, who knew the secret of
his parentage, seeing "Doc." had
money, and knowing it came fromcMocii,
begaiPto urge claims upon him. Their de
mands increased, and to Satisfy them ho
had to apply to Moen for money, and in
"that way much of the csum received from
the banker was Bpcnt. Mr. ilson says
thathesedemands upon him grew so ex
orbitant that he was almost impoverished
by them. The Engly suits were settled,
in
M
hi
he said, at Mocn's suggestion, and with
oen's monev, because tho latter feared
is relationship to Wilson would corao,
out some' way tin the trial.
Wilson has letters, which, ho says, are
written by Moen," acknowledging the re
lationship, and calling him 'Dear Son."
These letters Wilson produced yesterday.
He says he is the injured one, as instead
of being reared as a gentleman, and
brought up amid the luxuries w hi ca
ll is father's wealth could,- pur
chase, he (5'as cast adrift, reared
as a peasant boy. 'without education and
.without afiy of the "refinements of lifo
which would have been his. had his cruel
parent done right.0 '"Mr? Wilson says' he
can no longer endure the calunyiies with
which he is assailed, and that his con
fession of tho secret i3 true in every re
spect. Moen interposes a weak denial.

Commissioner Miller, of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, while not yet havin
any official data on tho subject, estimate
the November oleomargarine tax receipts
at 400,000, half of which probably comes,
from license tax. He thinks the tax on oleo
margarine will net a revenue of 2,000,000,
or perhaps more, during the coming SscaL

Archbishop Walsh Converted.
Loxdox, Dec: L-Rer. Dr. Walsh, Arch-
bishop of Dublin, in an interview with.
a reporter of the Pall Jfalt Gazette says that...
at first he was startled as well as grieved .
at the Parnellite campaign against land 4
lordism. He has since, however, become
convinced of the equity and necessity 'of
the course which was being pursued. He
felt no fear that the church would
lose her moral influence. The present
movement was, in his opinion, imperative,
in order that a rent-fixing tribunal might
be established whose functions' would be .
independent of both landlord and teuant.
The preservation of socia'. ordfr in Ireland
depends on the possibility of a;x;cil to
such a court.
