The New York Bulletin, of Saturday, re-
ports: Tine speculative market has not been
particularly active, but goodly number of
contracts changed hands, and the tone was
feyerish throughout. The developments
would seem to show loss of strength on the
general position and waning confidence
among some of the bulls The evidences
of a desire to unload were more prominent
than before, and while the Offering has
- e,reaf- and a shading on values has been
shown on most of the business transacted.
This tone Is apparently due to the impression
that Liverpool has already reached Its ex-
treme point of buoyancy, and Dc we are much
above That market further aid from abroad Is
not be expected. The short interest, also, Is
neither an anxious nor large one at the mo ;;
ment. and the probabilities OF a large and
early crop are having more influence, espe,
cially as it is rumored that the agricultural
bureau report will be out tomorrow and give

Still Out.


The pay ordinance for the month of July
came up again for passage at the meeting
of the Council last Wednesday evening,
snd after long and earnest discussion on
striking out the two Questionable bills,
the body adjourned without passing the
ordinance nor coming to any agreement in
view of a compromise. The opponents of
the bills showed disposition to make
compromise but the Street Committee firm
ly urged the passage of the ordinance as
it was.
Mr.. Randall stated the stone in the eul-
vert had been meausured by two engineers
and that the bill on file called for about
$17 more than the measurements figured,
and that the work was not let to the lowest
bidder.
The Street Committee were willing to
submit the measurement to a County Com
missioner, one whom the Mayor claimed
to be experienced in figuring on such work,
but Randall & Co. would not consent to
this as they thought there were enough
men in Ashtabula competent to make the
measurements.
On the road scraper matter there was al
so long discussion without any satisfaeto-
ry result. The Solicitor finally prepared
resolution to strike the bill from the ordin-
nance and refer it to committee of three;
one of the committee to be selected by the
Mayor, one by Messrs. Randall, Manning
and Butler and those two men to select a
third; this committee to make a thorough
test of the scraper, and the Council to
abide by their decision in regard to paying
the bill. Mr.. Fisk said he was willing to
abide by the decision of a committee COM
posed of men who had used the seraper.
As noone volunteered to father the resolu-
ton no action was taken on it, and motion
to adjourn was carried, leaving the matter
in the same shape it was at the last meet
ing.
How the matter win end no one can fore
tell, but the longer it IS deferred the more
feeling it will create. a
If some of our citizens should sue the
Village for their money it would be an easy
matter to secure judgment and the sale
of steam fire engine or some other neces-
sary property Of the Village and would haye
tendency to bring things to focus.

THE COUNTY NE VS..
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.
KINGSVILLE.

Eds TeL.:-The barn of Mr.. Joseph
Clark, three-fourths of mile east oi North
Kingsville, was this day consumed. The
fire was discovered about noon, with Mr..
Clark and family absent-on their way to
Williamsfeld-as report says. The rally of
neighbors scuceeded in saving the house
which was very close to the barn and out
buildings. The first persons who came to
the rescue were of the opinion that all eff
forts to save the house were futile and then
Quilted the house of contents. The second
parry coming up were confident the house
could be saved and heroieally set them
selves with the others 20 the task and final
ly succeeded-having drained two or three
wells and cisternS. Report says that a
tramp occupied the barn last night and
that this morning Mr.. Clark ordered him
of the premises and probably he revenged
himself by turning incendiary.
Report also says that the insurance run
out some six weeks ago,
We also learn that dispatch overhauled
Mr.. Clark and family at Jefferson, apprising
them of their misfortune and that they
this eYening-have returned.
Oil exploration have commenced at Flick
engers mill derrick. The knowing ones
say that every indication faYors the pres
ence of oil and gas all about here. Especi-
ally in that locality. 1t takes money to
develop the articles in question and the
necessity of it may well nigh be the means
of developing greenback party here.

We would cali attention to some that hap

WHAT THEY SAY OF ri FEW FACTS FOR THE

The Encampment.

Captains Waite and Bartlett of the Ash
tabula companies, went to Niles last Satur-
day 20 report to the officers of the 10th
Regt. what inducements were offered by
the citizens of Ashtabula to have the an
nual encampment of that regiment held
here. Painesville had not reported and in
fact did not report until WEDNESDAY, when
it was decided by Col. Robbins that it
would be held at Painesville. It looks as if
there vas some trickery in allowing Paines-
vile three or four days to solicit after Ash
tabula had reported at the appointed time,
and there is not a very kindly feeling felt
here towards Col. Robbins. We should
not blame our military in declining to
participate in the encampment. X
