TUESDAY, Jan. 28-6P.M M.
Tho bull movement in stocks, which has had its
own way for couple Of weeks past. was brought up
with q round turn this morning. There was an ap-
peal from philip drunk to Philip sober"-from an
intoxicated stock market to a sober one, and
events proved the latter bore off the blue ribbon.
Cautiously this column has for many days back dis
played the danger signals which an unreasonable
advance invited but in the rearing tearing clamor
for higher prices they have been measurably disre-
gardcd. Despite of being mercilessly "chivied" by
exultant bulls who could possibility OF de-
cline, tho opinion expressed to the contrary has
proved true one as is demonstrated by the sudden
and very material falling OF in values to-day Almost
without exception the active list shows ut tho
end of tho session Of from to per cent from open
ing prices The greatest decline occurred in the
st. Paul common stock. the least in Erie and Michi
gan Central. Between these two ranged the rest of
the list, with quotations all lower, but sufficiently
iversined to meet the most fastidious of bearish
tastes. Tho decline, though well established, was
rather Of the nature of natural reaction than Of
positive break-values that had been pushed upward
beyond reason toppled q matter Of course
pronts ON paper were esteemed to be more secure IL
converted into profits in bank. and the whole mar
ket realizing the fact reduced 1t to practical shape
by selling out stocks. Anticipating much higher

Ing future for all branches Of trade. the do

been to I'LL up many depleted purse, to renew q

market and to restore equilibrium destroyed by
the lopsded condition Of values which will provide

market closed to speak generally at about the lowest

Pioneer of Assumption. (Napoleonville [La.]) 185?-1895, 1879-08-09

Among the things most required
in these days of tall buildings and
narrow places ofentrance and exit,
are means of escape in case of fire
for those who occupy the upper
apartments. Apparatus for this pur-
pose should be compact, portable,
and yet strong and reliable. To en-
body these desirable qualities in a
single device has been the aim OF
the inventor whose fire escape is
shown in the accompanying engrav-
ing.
The iron frame, A, which supports the Sc.
veral parts of the machine is secured in a
washstand or some other suitable piece OF
furniture, which is placed upon casters,
and made of sufficient weight and strength
to suit the purpose. A double drum, B, is
iournaled to the frame, A, and two ropes,
rope ladders, or chains are attached there
to, one in each groove of the drum. To
these ropes or chains adjustable seats are
suspended by means of hooks.
When the drum, B, is reyolved it imparts
through the medium of the gear wheels an
increased motion to the shaft, C, which in
turn, by means of cranks. D. and L, Of un-
equal radius, imparts rocking motion to
the shaft. f, that carries the pendulum or
weight, 81, which may be screwed up or
down on tbe rod to regulate the rotary
motion of the drum, B. Screwing up the
weight toward the shaft, +, will permit the
drum, B. to run with an increased velocity
screwing the weight down produces the
opposite effect. By means of this device
Pioneer of Assumption. (Napoleonville [La.]) 185?-1895, 1879-08-09

the apparatus may be adjusted to any
weight that is to be put upon the ropes or
chains, or to any required velocity.
A jointed folding frame, I, is hinged to
the top Of the frame, A, and supports two
rollers at its outer end.
In case of emergency the washstand is
rolled to acme convenient place, say o VIM
dow or balcony, and if time permits the
folding frame, /, is made to project over
the window sill or balcony. The end of ei-
ther of the ropes wound ON the drum is un-
hooked, and the imperiled person passes
the rope first over one of the loose pulleys
in the iointed frame, then passes it around
his body, hooks it, and let's himself down
easily and safely. By this time, if there are
other inmates exposed, second one un-
hooks the end of the other rope, and also
lowers himself to the ground, and in SO
doing causes the drum to wind up the first
rope, ready torepeat the operation III favor
of third occupant, an so on. Every person
descending winds one OF the ropes on the
drum, and thus prepares the machine for
another. Should it be required, q line with
q weight at one end may be provided in
the apparatus, which may be attached by
one end to hook on the pendulum rod.
while the end carrying the weight is let
down upon the pavement. By means of this
line so connected with the pendulum rod,
persons descending will be enabled to check
their descent at will. But while this may
be very convenient when time enough is
allowed, and calm and order prevail, yet
the apparatus is so constructed that in
pressing emergencies no time is required
but what is strictly necessary to roll the
stand in some suitable place, take hold of

the end of one rope, and let ones SO
down, that is, . few seconds at most.
In addition to the above mention
ed advantages, the apparatus herein
described will be found of great
service to facilitate the ascension OF
outsiders into buildings in confia-
grafton, for the purpose of affordfng
assistance, putting out fires, saving
valuables, etc. 1t will also be found
q s safe and convenientanxiliary to
masons engaged in erecting isolated
chimneys, to ascend and descend.
From the above it will appear OBJ
vious that the apparatus just de-
scribed possesses particular merits,
which can hardly fail to command
the attention of hotel keepers, own
ers or managers of large factories,
theatres, &C., and of all true phi
lanthropists generally.
Among its chief merits may be
mentioned :-compactness, simpli-
city, eheapness, comeliness, all
readiness, strength, reliability com
fort, and above all the PERFECT
SAFETY with which the most
nervous OF unskilled persons may
avail themselves of it in pressing
emergencies. With such an appara-
tus at hand, everybody will feel
personally secure against danger
from fire.
