| BEEF cATTtEAAs The marke
this week has been quite fully supplied
and the weather somewhat unpropitious
operations have been rather slow
There were quite q bumber OF good
cattle in the yards, and but few Of q
lintfior'a grade aS we're here last week,
Prices are scarcely up to'those Of last
report, the general opinion being that
they nave receded }c-some dealers
marking the decline ehade above and
others q shade below that fraction.
Prices ranged from 50 90 to 81 90 per 100
lbs. Several hundred which we're not
sold will be reshipped East at the own
ers' risk. ''' - p.
Prices to-day for beef cattle ranged as
follows: Best beeves IS 00@7 o. that
generally rated first quality a 75@6 Os
medium or good fair quality s. 100
4 Is; ordinary thin steers, oxen and
COWS SO O0@3 IS; inferior and lowest
grades of cattle 80 00S0 00-general
average of the market TO-DAY 81 So ex-
IRENE range of prices g 0O9700. Most
of the sales were from 81 90 to s. %
per 100 lbs OF the receipts l59 head
came from Ohio, 1864 from West Vir-
ginia, 1881 from Virginia, SO from
Maryland, and Is from Penpsylvania-
total receipts for the week 3473 head,
against 343l last week, and 24S2 head
same time last year. OF the offerings
1924 head were taken by Baltimore
butch ers, 923 head sold to spectators
for Eastern markets, 764 to York
county dealers, $50 to Carroll county
md. dealers, and SO head to country
dealers-total sales for the week 292O
head, against 1889 last week, and 1908
head same time last year.
SHEEP AND LAMBS-The market
has been very dull this week and prices
4c lower, there being no out of:town de-
msnd and the receipts heavy, the net
mum bering quite as many as last week,
and the butchers generally having sup
piled themselves. We quote fair to
good sheep at 44@54c, and good to extra
at ST &c per ID. gross. Stock sheep in
fair demand at 50 2593 50 per head
Lambs at 81 O0G4 90 per head. Re-
ceipts this week 394l head, against 5552
last week, and 1896 head same time last
year.
HOGS-The receipts this week were
again quite full, as tor several weeks
past, exceeding those of last week, and
nearly az large as the heavy run of the
week before. Prices show some little
change, sales having been made un Ter
last weeks lowest quotations, and few
at the top figure noted then. The mar
ket has been only moderately active,
closing at stand still, the weather be-
ing rather unfavorable. 1t is rather
too early to anticipate future quotations,
which will be determined by the receipts
in the at present unknown future. We
quote fair to good corn fed logs at S. 80
@6 ST.. extra at 81 90, common at
Sc 25GD6 80, and stillers at Sc 25@6 629
per 100 lbs net Receipts this week
1886 head, against S6l3 last week, and
$40 head same time last year.

TERRIBLE POSITION OF A BOY.

Saturday afternoon boy about II years
OF age, while crawling a'ong the leads OF
house on Thursday St near Bryant, for the
purpose OF clearing the distractions in the
water pipe, slipped and rolled over the edge
oi the roof. In his desperate efforts 10 save
himself he succeeded in grasping the raised
edging OF wood and lin that bordered the
roof and so hung. suspended by his hands
forty feet above the street, utterly unable to
regain his footing. The accident was wit
messed by woman or the opposite sidewalk
and her screams brought at once to her side
three men, who saw with horror and amaze
ment the predicament OF the poor boy, who,
without cry or struggle, was hanging over
certain death, With only the frail grip of his
weak hands. They ran across The street
INTO the house and upstairs toward the attic
when, as they reached the second story,
sudden thought struck the last man, and he
LEFT his companions TO go up without him.
Underneath where the boy was hanging is
q small Old-lashioned porch, which projects
out about three feet from under the centre
window OF the second story, and out of this
window the woman on the opposite side of
the street and those with her saw a man step
on the porch and look up AS he stood he
was Immediately under the hoy, but too
close TO the house Tor his apparent purpose,
the boy hanging just over the railing he
stepped over the latter, and, with his feet
resting on the edge OF the platform of the
porch, and one hand Prasping an iron sup
port, he waited. 10 the meantime the other
Two men had reached the roof, and were de.
scendng, when they discovered the impos
sibilily Of reaching the boy in safety, and
one oi them called fir rope. Before any
one could move TO the aid Of the exhausted
boy, he, with a shIill cry, let 90 his hold
and Tell. As lie approached the man on The
porch the latter was seen 10 reach out his
free arm under him, aud then the boy was
grasped by him. \ cry Of horror wen. up
from the crowd as the man was seen to
stagger and swing around the end Of the
porch with his load but hls hand held It's
grip on tue IRON, ami moment afterward
lac carried the boz through the window and
turned him over to his mother, who had
only just realized that something was wrong
The name .oi the man whose presence d
mlnl enabled him to save lie, aud whose
courage made him forget the risk OF losipu
his own, is Campbell Wlllams.-Sa Fran.

This is Rev. Edward Hale's story A man
had sold himself TO the devil, who was to pos
sess him at a certain tim unless he could pro-
pound a question to his satanic majesty which
lie could not answer he being allowed to put
three queries to him. The time came for the
devil to claim his own, and he consequently
appeared The first question the man asked
was concerning theology, to which it caused
the devil no trouble to reply. The Second he
also answered without hesitation. The man )
fate depended on the third. What shonld it be-
lie hesitated and turned pale, and the cold
dew stood on his forehead. while he shivcled
with anxiety, nervousness, and terror, ami
the devil trumphantly sneered. At this
junctu-e the mans wife appeared in the room
with bonnet on her head. Alarmed at her hus
bands condition, she demanded to know The
cause. When informed she laughed and said
