The money market is without new feature.

and the withdrawal of the S45 5000, 900 Rof

9S to 81. The measure and its probable results
upon the money market are freely canvassed
and public opinion Is generally adverse TO H.

it of interest.

GENERALITIES.
Bursting of an Emery Wheel

An emery wheel in the iron and brass foundry
of K. Hinman e. Co., at Syracuse, N. Y, burst
on Tuesday afternoon while running at full
speed, the pieces flying in every direction. One
piece, weighing perhaps four or five pounds,
went up through the ceiling, cutting jost
quite in two, another went downwards through
the floor and then passing through the window,
embedded itself in brick wall opposite, while
smaller pieces flew everywhere about the shop.
A boy was running the machine at the time, but
miraculOusly escaped injury. The explosion
resounded like the discharge OF a cannon, and
it is wonder that no one was struck by the
fragments.
A Melancholy Case OF Drownins.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of last evening
says:-H. III. Williams, of New Cumberland
was drowned in the Yellow Breeches creek
about one o'clock last night. Mr.; Williams, in
connection with number of others, all EN-
ployes of H. r. Mosser, was engaged in remov-
ing RATS from the river into the creek, and, is
presumed, was struck by the rope whilst endea-
voring to lift it over some obstacle upon which
it had caught and precipitated him into the
water. His companions saw him appear twice
on the surface of the water, but were unable to
rescue him. The search is still progressing with
unabated interest. Mr.. Mosser has offered a
liberal reward for the recovery of the body of
Mr.. Williams, but the swollen condition of the
stream renders the work Of search difficult.
The melancholy event has cast a deep gloom
over the entire community.
Torpedoes Put To Good Service.
The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company use on an average thirty-five thou
sand torpedoes annually on their numerous
roads. These explosives are called ''fog sig
nails" and are used in heavy weather, when
the signal lights on the towers cannot be
seen from the engine. They are intended to
prevent accidents and have done very good
service in that respect since their introduc-
tion. To make them thoroughly effective
three are placed on the track short distance
apart, so that if one should fail to make re-
port two would remain to perform that SER
vice. The explosion of torpedo under the
wheels of the engine is a warning Of impend-
ing danger, and the engineer always stops
the train in obedience to it,

The location Is beautiful one, ex-
tending from the river banks, up and
over the slopes and bluffs that rise to
q considerable hight. lnterspcrsed
with valleys, gorgos aud ravines.
The principal business streets are
in the valley,..while most of the fine
residences and public buildings are

that extend back from the river.
The live aud energetic citizens of
Ottumwa have boon unceasing in their
