Capt. Patrick Rogers died in Cincinnati

thus refers to deceased
Capt. 3. FIRST went on the river about
1925 as second engineer on the Belle Gre
ole. He was sfterward engineer on the
Cincinnati, Montezuma, New YORK, Isabella
and other steamers. The first boat of
which he was part owner was the Convey
snce. About 1881 he married, sold his In
terest in the Conveyance, sndI
quit the river He and Cap
tain Hercules Carroll purchased al
saw mill, which was burned only day on
two after they became the owners. This|
made it necessary for Capt. Rogers to &C

mouth in the Louisville trade. About 1885
he and Capt. Carroll opened Steamboat
agency, and it was while in this busines
that Capt. r. negotiated the sale Of the

The Hog Markets Elsewhere.

The Cincinnati Gazette, of Tuesday,
says:
The market for hogs, which declined on
Tuesday last about 25c, Eoon recovered,
and has since bean steady at about $685.
$3.50, with all arriving selling readily,
but yesterday and to-day, the weather be-
ing warm, caused a slight depression, and
light to heavy averages sold at SC 25@6. so
gross. The packing to date is about 49,
900 head, which is a little short of the cor
responding time last year, and the packing
in other Western cities falls short about
125,O0S SO far. This is accounted for by
the unusually good weather for feeding,
and the fact that producers cannot obtain
as good price for their hogs as they cell
culated upon, and are, therefore, in no
hurry to send them to market. The result
IS likely to be that the hogs will be rushed
into the market, late in the season, to an
extent that viii subject them to a further
decline.
The Louisville C0mH.ereiql of yesterday
remarks: The market opened fairly active,
and prices were well sustained, with con-
siderable frDlness throughout the day, and
about sll offered were disposed of at full
rates. Sales of light to heavy average
were made at 5000 80 per GENITAL gross.
Receipts continue light, and our city pack
ers are the principal operators, there being
little or no shipping inquiry.
The weather has been favorable for
Strengthening purposes, and all the estab-
lshments were actively engaged to-day.
About Q, 800 head were killed, making the
total slaughter up to this evening over

Chairman, calling upon the Baptist
Churches between the Cumberland river

the propriety of forming new association.
Il seems that delegates from the churches,
within the bounds of Bethel and Concord
Associations, held meeting on the LIST Of
November in Springfield, to consider this
matter, and quite number of the church
es within the bounds referred to, deter
mined to form the proposed association,
but unanimity was desirable and hence the
appointment and appeal Of the committee.

Action of the Heard of Managers.
We have heretofore stated that the me-
chanicseand manufacturers of this city con
template holding grand exposition IN
this city, somewhat similar in char9fter to
the Cincinnati exposition, TO whlch al the
mechanics and manufacturers of tennessee
shall be invited to contribute. Tine Board
of Managers appointed by the Mechanics
and Manufacturers Association, held a
meeting last night to discuss all bndness
matters pertaining to said exposition, Mr..
Weakley in the Chair.
Capt. Stockell from the Committee On
Industrial Hall, reported progress, and
stated that tho vacant lot on the corner of
Union and Summer streets, had been
chosen as Il desirable place to locate the
Industrial Hall building. A plan Of the
hal. drawn by an architectural firm of this
| city was also presented being the draught
| of building, the estimated cost of which
was about So, 500. According to this plan
the building will be 102x165 feet, fronting
on Summer street.
In answer to a question by one Of the
Board, II was stated that the exposition
would remain open TO the public from one
TO three weeks, and probably for longer
| time.
All thu mechanics and manufaesurers Of
this State are invited to send articles for
exhibition, and the Publication Committee
expect soon to send full information to
every portion of the State by advertise
ments, handbills, circulars, ETC., as il pas
agreed that free use of printers iuk'
! would not fail to prove profitable invest
ment.

the exposition, presented 10y the Commit

fogs in London, some smart frosts, and a
fall Of snow in Yorkshire have given warn
ings Of the rapid approach of winter. 1t
has, however, been fine time for tilling
and seeding the ground, and farmers have
done much in the hope of remunerating
crops. The early sown plants are healthy
and strong, thong the averages, as yet,
show but small Improvement on last
years prices; still, having nothing IN plen-
ty beyond wheat and barley, they have
been freely selling to meet Christmas rents,
and, indeed, with foreign demand still
reducing the native produce, some begin
to think very perceptible reduction will
soon be made in the stack yards and barns.
Experience has habituated British growers
to SO many disappointments that they are
content to move on, even IN unthrifty
times; and in fact the long pressure in
many cases has decreased their power to
wait for better opportunities. But Little
difference in prices has to be noticed dur
ing the week; but here and there pro-
vincial market has given way where hold
ers have been needy. The well stored
granaries of London are certainly great
hindrancss to any important upward move
ment for the present. AS, however, it is
now evident that winter will come before
the Baltic ports are free, and that the ca
mas of North America will soon be closed
by frost, together with the Azoff and Black
Sea, thd stores Of London may be greatly
reduced before the opening spring, and
even before thed the waste of the war in
France may make an extraordinary drain
