A EHIP CAAL Prop, tltl in to Conn On Fr.im IHr. mlnclmm to ha London, Nov. i,V ,.Special. ?i;e proposal to const met a sliip canal from Birmingham to the sea, which was re-vived soon afterthe Manehcsierseheuto received the sanction of parliament, has made considerable progre-- s toward maturity. Three out of lour rival schemes have been rejected, hut it is understood that a hill lor tho construc-tion of a canal through Staffordshire and Cheshire w ill he stihmiltcd at tho next session of parliament. The route proposed is by the Muck country to Wolverhampton, thence north to Stoke and the Potteries, and llienee through Kidsgrove and Whcllnck to Winsford, where it will join the Weaver, within thirty-fiv- e miles of Liverpool, making the whole distance from Birmingham to the sea to the new waterway about niuety-si- x miles. Tho minimum width of tlie caual will bo seventy-tw- feet and it will be capable of 'accommo-dating vessels of throe hun-dred tons. in sptto of tho cabled announcement that Baring Bros, had received heavy support, a panic set in and sold. Trices everybody went off with such rapid-ity that it was almost impossiblo to do business. December wheat went went down to 88, May corn droppeaTo 30f, and January pork to $11.45. Then news of a better tone on the New York stock exchange was received, and a re-covery followed. December wheat ad-vanced to 93. The remainder of the list advanced proportionally during the remainder of the session. The Panic Averted. London, Nov. 15. The Times refer-ring to the finaucial situation, says: "The city has passed through a crisis verging on a panic. 'The worst is over. The Bank of England, by prompt ac-tion has averted a lamentable catastro-phe by proving vast reinforcements to its stock of gold to meet the exceptional demands. It has also prevented the downfall of one of the greatest and most respected English financial houses, which, if fallen, would have brought down in wide-sprea- d ruiu a large num-ber of smaller but important firms." The Foreign MnrVe. London, Nov. 15. Stocks opened buoyant on the news that a large lirm reported yestorday as in troublo had arranged their difficulty. The market afterward declined. American securi-ties reached two per cent. Quotations are all now better all around. At the close prices showed fractional advances for most American stocks. Solid at a linrk. London, Nov. 15. The banking house referred to by the Times as Bar-ing Bros. & Co. have lieen helped through by the Bank of England, the Rothschilds and several London joint stock banks who niade large advances to tho lirm. Baring Bros.' position is now considered secure. Banking the Bullion. London, Nov. 15. The amount of bullion gone into the Bank of England on balance today was 1,012,000 pounds. mmm panic. The Kocied Powers Unite to F.osist the ; Awful Title That Threatens to Them Up. IATE3T I'KOM WALL STREET. ' The Groat Bar.lt of England, the Both-ucbil-and Others Open Up Their Pletliorio Vaults.; New Yokk, Nov. 15. Private cables received before the ' opening of the stock exchange announcing - the troubles of Baring Brothers and stating that the banks of England, Rothschilds , mid others had taken up accounts cf Baring Brothers amounting to 15,000.-C0- 0 pounds, created a profound sensa-tion. A conference of brokers was at once held who decided to have brokers In every stock that could bo handled to bid advanced prices at the opening to avert a sudden shock. As a resujt, prices for nearly all active stocks open-ed above lust night's quotations. , A scene of wild excitement and pos-itive panic existed in all portions of the list. Stocks were thrown over in the ' moat reckless manner, and tho losses in the first hour exceeded anything seen since tho present decline began,- every ono was trying to sell out their hold-ings without regard to loss or gain. The deaiiugs wore simply enormous and tho rapidity with which quotations melted away was something unprece-dented, there being no halt in the downward movement before the end of the hour. Lackawanna dropped 8 to Jer-sey Central 0, Northwestern 4, Rock Island 4, Pullman 5, Atchison 5J-- and tho most other active stocks 2 to 1. Vil-lard- 's best held at and showed less ex-citement, but the recent heavy shrink-age in these stocks left less room for further lo.ssi s. The dowuward move-ment was finally stayed however, and at 11:80 o'clock a better tone prevails with some improvement in prices. At 11 o'clock a semi-pani- c prevailed, prices gave way and brokers were dis-mayed at the prospect. Lackawanna led the downward rush with a decline of 9 per cent from 132 to 123J. Atchi-son sold down to 24, Rock Island to 01, and sugar to 50, the lowest prices on record for those stocks. Canada Southern and other regular dividend payers were thrown over, as woll as I the speculative stocks, Canada South-ern dropping to 43. . 'After 11:15 there .was a rally caused by the following cable from London The guarantee fund to Baring Broth-- r era & Company amounts to ten mil-lions sterling. Various financial, bank-ing and discount homes, guaranteeing the accounts state that the crisis is over 'and failure has been averted. Kidder, Seabody & Co., agents here for Baring Bros, it Co., London, say they have private advices from London that the trouble has been completely arranged. The troublo was doubtless caused by the depression of Argentine i securities. "Our house is nowise af-fected." ,: The Evening Sun says: The facts re-garding the extraordinary monetary situation, which prevailed in London the past ten days, may be summed up authoritatively as follows: Owing to the extent of their operations on rail-roads and land in South America, the Barings have been more or less embarrassed f lr over six mouths. Last Thursday week Baring at the conclu-sion of business decided it im-possible for them to continue. Friday morning the 7th hist., they notified the directors of the bank of England who immediately convened and startled the whole financial world by raising the rate. The proceedings were most unprecedented and called a halt. Speculation at every money cen-ter in the world tho present week has been one of most painful suspense In banking circles and this feeling wab reflected in a minor degree in New York. The article goes on to say that of the eleven million pounds furnished Bar-ings, the banks of England furnished Beven millions and other members of the relief party the remainder. The Barings are allowed three years to readjust their affairs. All actual poril is now believed to be past. Millions in Sight. Boston, Nov. 15. Kidder, Peabody & Company have asked for the infor-mation regarding the reported liquida-tion of Baring Brothers and their own business connection there-with. They stilted that Thurs-day they had np intimation of such a step on the part of their Lon-don correspondents and on that day had cable transfers to a large amount one for (iO.OOO pounds. Yesterday thoy suspected everything was not right. This morning the New Yprk branch of Kidder, Peabody & Co. tele-graphed that. Baring's had gone into liquidation. This of course Was notification to slop drawiug ex-changes on them. It is evident there need be no auxiety on the part of creditors of tho firm. Their as-sets, in oxcess of liabilities, are probably 40,000,000 pounds. They have been virtually carrying the Argentine republic loan and holding dissatisfied customers to whom they sold parts there-of. , Kidder, Peabody & Co. state that in any case the bank of England woDld help BariDg Bros, over tempo-rary difficulties, and all their difficul-ties canuot be more than temporary. The connection of Barings with Kid-der, Peabody & Co. have been of a most intimate nature, but their rela-tions cannot lead to any complications which will affect the Boston lirm.

A Valuable Goli Watch and Chain the Capital Prise - DoscemUd Through a Skylight. Tie enterprising-burgla- r who has been tnking notes by the wayside and Invoicing the frame as well us the stone fronts rolled up his sleeves last night ami with his brawny arm went forth to feather his nefarious nest fur the rest of the wiuter. The lirttt attack was directed nt Schadcs sympos-ium on Main street. The place had been open and tho s playing to an enthusia.stio audience un-til midnight at which hour the doors were closed. A solitary light was left burning and when the niaurauder ar-rived he found plenty, too much light in fact on the deserted landscape. They resolved to transpose tho old rule and began to work down from the top. The skylight was attacked as the weak point, and removing that a rope was attached to the roof. Upon this they descended and the work began. There was but a little "chicken feed" consisting o( small coins In the till. This was left unmolested. There were three six shooters in tho arsenal however, and these they pocketed nfter which they attacked the safe. A chapter of inden-tures shows a desperate eltort to crack Its vaults, but It failed to yield and the contents amounting to several thou-sand dollars, were there undisturbed when the proprietor arrived this morn-ing. Tho matter was at onoe reported to the police, but no clue ha yet been unearthed. A Visit to Conlej'a. It Is no secret that at Mrs. Kate Con-ley'- 110 North West Temple street, s a rich harvest for the burglar. The lady hns a very valuable collection of rare diamonds, a large amount of jew-elry, while tho appointments of the parlor aro almost regal In their wealth. It was several hours before the visit was mndo to the dwell-ing that Mrs. Conloy detected the pres-ence of suspicious parties In the locality but scarcely expected that they had de-cided on her residences for the attack. Her husband had absimtod himself on "lodgo matters" until n late hour, and Mrs. Conley ami the domestic were tho only persons in the house when they heard a gnaw-ing at the window. Both sprang from thoir beds and hastening to the point the visitors were put to flight. Ac-cepting the admonition the lady ap-pealed to a private vault this morning where her valuables were deposited. This was the second report from tho marauding horde. Tackled Mr, Tliomss. Tho next place at which the burglar presented was the residence of Mr. K. K. Thomas, 44'i South First West, where a capital pri.n was drawn. Effecting an entrance through a window of the dining room the burglars strode noiselessly through th hall and enterod Mr. Thomas' apart-ments. On a chair rested hi clothing which was removed, systematically to au outer room where the finishing touches and delicate traces were ad-ministered. When Mr. Thomas got out of his bed this morning he w as ulothesless. A hurried search was made w ben It was discovered that a valuable huutiugcase. watch and chain had departed as had also between 8 Mid $10 in change. There was nothing left by which the thieves might bu identified. - - STOCK YARDS SOLID. The Union Stock Yard Company Will Add Immensely to tha Prosperity of This City. THIS ENTERPRISE A SURE SE0T. Mr. W. 0. B. Allen Has Returned From Omaha and Is Enthusiastic Over the Outlook. Mr. Wr. C. B. Allen, one of the orig. inal organizers of the stock yards, ar-rived from the east last evouing in Salt Lake. He gave a Times reporter a lengthy and interesting interview re-specting the great enterprise to be es-tablished in this city. ' Mr. Allen, while absent, visited Omaha. Kansas City and Denver, lie had business at each city In connection with the stock yard enterprise. The plans and specifications now being pre-pared cover a great many details that required a consultation over. Meetings were held at Omaha with the parties who are the original Investor in tiie stockyard enterprise and for which syndicate Mr. John W. Rodefer, formerly cashier of the Union National bank of Omaha, acts as trustee. Mr. Uodefer expressed great confidence in the stockyard enterprise and appreci-ated the great interest taken in this subject by the entire business meu of Salt Lake city as well as the stock men through Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Wy-oming. The White & Sons company gave Mr. Allen letters to the railway and stock yard people stating that they were now prepared with their plans for a packing house plant, including the cold storage system, artificial ice factory and the oth-er necessary buildings for carrying on slaughtering, packing, canning and fer-tilizing' connected with the business and asking for a definite proposition and location for their grounds and trackage in order that they might be-gin the work of construction. The systom of plans submitted by Supt. Chillis of the Union stock yard company of Kansas City covers about twenty-fiv- e acres including buildings, stables, yards and sheds for the handl-ing of cattle, sheep, hogs and horses. The exchange building which includes the office of the stock yard company, offices for the various commission firms, probably a bank, etc., has a frontage of about 130 feet, is two stories in height and has a depth of fifty feet. .The present plan also contemplates a hotel and restaur-ant separate from the exchange build-ing, although it is possible that restaur-ant privileges may be provided for in the latter building for the present. An understanding has been reached by which it is probable the railway companies will construct and operate a joint track from their main lines running through the length of the en-tire stockyard tract and other lines he added from time to time for storage, switching and packinghouse use. Tho importance of Salt Lake City as the market place for the products of the vast region lying between the Rocky and Sierra Nevada ranges for a distance of 500 to 700 miles in each di-rection, has become apparent to cap-italists and railway companies in the east. That it is necessary for a distrib-uting point between the Missouri river and the Pacific coast is as clear today as it was twenty-fiv- e years ago that Chicago would become the metropolis and commercial distributing point of the west. The packing house and stock yard companies of the east have been inves-tigating the entire western field for the purpose of extending branches which will control the trade of the far west. A movement was started last spring by four of the principal packing houses of the world which has resulted in a change of base from Chicago and the Missouri river points to San Fran-cisco. This syndicate has pur-chased somo 2000 acres across the bay from San Francisco, with a water frontage which is now being laid out into a new suburb; and at which point extensive stock yards and packing houses are to be located. The necessity for an intermediate live stock and packing house point to complete the chain of stock yards has brought Salt Lake City into national prominence. The result has been the incorporation of the Union stock yard company of this city with over 120 incorporators. It is also probable from the in-terest taken in the east and expressed at the meeting which Mr. Allen attended that a large manufacturing and devel-opment company will be the outgrowth and auxilliary to the original organiza-tion. The confidence in the growth of Salt Lake city as a railway and indus-trial centre for what is termed the inter-mountai- n region is unbounded. HEALING WATERS. A DENVER MAN TELLS OF MANY CURES OF SCIATIC RHEUMATISM. Bse Ths Town Itrgln to Jump lsitvllls Made linTr as Ip Crsck will Moat Suroly Ilnlp to Msks Salt I,Rko. Referring to Salt Lake's advantages none are so prominent as the position it ocoupies as a natural sanitarium. There are the hot and warm sulphur springs, which, if located In any other country but conservative Salt Lake, would be advertised to the world. A gentleman who has lived here less than two years states that in Denver he was troubled with sciatic rheumatism and was in a constant state of nervousness. Siuce visiting the springs frequently, ho is nearly recovered from the sciatica and his average weight has increased fifteen pounds. Another Instance of the curative qualities of the hot springs water upon sciatica is that of the case of a man who complained for years and who tried all supposed euros, except that of riding a bicycle. He finally adopted hot spring bathing, and very soon was enabled to stand by tho flume discharging the hot water into the pool for one hour or more at a time. He is now thoroughly cured of sciatica. A gentleman who has lived in Salt Lake lor a year past, yestorday said: "I lived in Denver from the day It had 1200 people until coming here. - I like this town much better than 1 did Den-ver when that city was In Salt Lake's stago of growth, and the prospects seem better here than thero at that time. Leadvllle made Denver, as Deep Crook will most surely help to make Salt Lake. From reports made to mo by some old Colorado miners who have been over there to look the ground over, 1 learn that the prospects are more assuring than they were at Lead-vllle in the beginning of that city's set-tlement. Of course the railroads have got to push out there and as soon a.i they do yon will see this town begin to jump. At tho beginning of the Leadville developments. I remember that so many meu came to Denver that it was impossbln for them to find sleeping room. Men would give a dol-lar lor the privilege of sitting in a chair in the hotel offices; a $5 bill would not have secured a bed. All the balls and lobbies were filled with cots, and the owners of such places, as also those who took advantage of the situation and erected tents containing cots, made for-tunes. All tho business of Leadvllle came to Denver, and of course, all tho money. All kinds of merchandise was constantly short, and no matter what Denver has to draw upon now, it Is true that Leadville's dii very was ll foundation of Denver's future, prosper-ity and success. The same thing will happen here; but railroad facilities must rapidly increase, and they will Increase. There will be two roads there, one as soon, almost, s the other, and there will bo plenty of business for them both. I feel sure that in five vears Salt Lake will have 100,000 people. MINING STOCKS.

Progress or the Proceedings and Evldenoe Si) tar as tt Has Xtaea Introduced Both Respondents Deny the Commission or Adultery. London, Nov. 15. The trial of the O'Shea divorce case opened before a special jury this morning. Parnell, the was not represented by counsel and O'Shea was the only promi-nent . figure present. . Mrs. O'Shea's counsel said he did not intend toxross examine any witnesses or call any in behalf of Mrs. O'Shea, or take any part in the proceedings. This collapse of the defense caused an im-mense., sensation and involves the con-demnation of Parnell to . pay the costs. Coward briefly opened the case for the petitioner. He said as he under-stood the case the respondent donies that she committed adultery, as did also' tho The respon-dent further alleges that petitioner con-nived at adulacry or wilfully separated himself from her. Lockwood, counsel for Mrs. O'Shea, stated that he did not intend lo cross-examin- e any of the witnesses for the petitioner. He would not call any witness on be-half of Mrs. O'Shea nor take any part in the proceedings. Clarke, of the coun-sel for Captain O'Shea, said Lock wood's announcement seriously altered the position'. Now that neither rarnell nor Mrs. O'Shea would take an oath it was therefore undefended that con-tinuous acts of adultery hail been committed by respondent and witness would prove that while the respondent was visiting Bed-ford square she was visited by Parnell, who wont under the name of Smith. At another house ho visited her as Stuart.' On one occasion he had escaped by the balcony to avoid O'Shea. The respondent and Parnell actually lived together at Eastbourne and Brockley. Parnell could not face' the evidence. le allow-e- l judgment to go by default because he dared not to go into the witness box. He did not wonder at Pamoll's refusal to answer tho charges of faithlessness, falsehood and the betrayal of the friendship of the man who had trusted him. O'Shea stood for parliament in 1880. Ho was introduced to Parnell who dined with him aud Mrs. O'Shea, Mjs. Steele being one of the party. "Nothing excited O'Shea's suspicion until '81, when Parnell visited the respondent at Eltham. His annoyance over Par-Hell- 's approaches to his wife led O'Shea to send a challenge. Mrs. Steele saw Parnell who assured her there was no ground for jealous suspicions. Asbea wrote Par nell . and tho latter replied. He answered through assurances for a divorce, which he said was filed in December last. Parnell then put in a simple denial, Mrs. O'Shea made a de-nial and counter charges against the husband, . alleging that ho committed adultery with a number of persous, including her own sister Mrs. Steele. She also charged him with cruelty and having connived at her adultery for a series of years. The plea al-most ammounted to a confession of adultery.. Her husband would be able absolutely to disprove every possible suggestion against him. He could show the charge of connivance groundless. That w hen Osborne first heard of the intimacy he challenged Parnell to a duel. Mrs. Steele afterwards restored the relations between O'Shea and wife. Parnell was again invited to Eltham. In '82, after Parnell had been released from Kilmainham jail, he re-newed his visils to Eltham and almost hal slept there.
