FALLS CHURCH HOSPITALITY.
Special correspondence Of rnr Rnrun1rcAN.


FALLS CHURCH, VA, Aug. 1S.-Having
noticed in your issue of Thursday an entirely un-
called for and unjust arragnment of the citizens
Of this quiet place by one d. Turner OF your city,
take the liberty of making few statements In
reply, which trust you will publish, in ordcrthat
the public may hear both sides Of the question be-
fore forming an opinion in this matter. The ex-
ceedlngly modest and retiring Mr. Turner says
that after many invitations he decided to visit
Falls Church and help the good people
build up their town ard county. This
was klnd-very kind--in him, but not at
all original. In fact dozen would.be editors
had already preceded him, and, afterissuing glow.

terprises, with manner and terms of publication,
and collecting subscriptions far and wide had
jumped the town, leaving the too. .credulous in
habitants to bcmoan the loss of their money Per.
haps the respectable-looking stranger from
Washington had no such intention: but he should
remember the old saying that" "a burnt cbilddread

men of this vicinityiare lacking in business enter.
prise and courtesy. 1t is sad-very sad indeed
that the efforts of this great philanthropst, who
spent the enormous sum Of $50 In Transforming
this rural village into great and populous city
should fail of appreciation. A word.in answer

who compose the population of Falls Church 800
had never heard of d. Turner before his article
appeared i'm your paper. The other ten were
probably the class who frequent the corner gro
ceries, and made the acquaintance Of the stranger
more for the purpose of gossip and drink than
anything else. Even admitting that one person
was wanting in hospitality, is that any reason the
whole body OF citizens should bo abused? win

NEW YORK, Aug Is, 800 p. m.--From the OPEN
ing this morning almost to the close there was q
continual supply Of long stock to liqudate ac-
counts, and the decline was general, although
mostly in the Gould stocks and low priced fancies
The trunk lines held their own idirly we'll. The
money market was again an important element.
The demand being large nom good borrowers at G
per cent until noon, when many loans were made
at Lilo; after two o'clock the rate advanced TO u
and in some cases a was paid. We are led
to believe that the rates Of u and u were
largely due to manipulation. They soon
brought free offerings, and the rate declined
to per cent This change had the effect of
frightening the floating short interest and
the market closed with small rally i'm progress
The continued absorption Of money by the Treas
ury which has directly caused the higher rates
for money, will probably induce holders Of fives
and skies to present their bonds for payment and
relief to the money market would follow. The de-
cline in exchange to-day of half n cent per pound
will again give ultimate relief butsome days must
elapse before such relief is felt and temporary
stringency in the money market is to be expected

WASHINGTON GROVE, Aug. 1S.--The day
opened bright and clear, with not a cloud in the
sky. The meeting last night was largely attended,
and was in charge off. S. N. Haslup, of Spenccrs-
vile. At this meeting two penitents presented
themselves at the mourners' bench. The family
prnyer-meeting at half-past six o'clock a. IN.
brought out but few people. The regular prayer
meeting at half-past eight showed an in
creased attendance, large number of
people from tho country being present. The
preaching at halfpast ten o'clock was by DR.. J. II.
Dashiels, of Hagerstown, who preached brilliant
sermon to the largest number of people who have
assembled on these grounds since Sunday. He
took for his text the tenth verse of the third chap
ter of john" Jesus answered and said unto him:
Art thou master of Israel aud knowest not these
things?"
THE cHI1DRES's MEETING
at two o'clock was conducted by Rev. II S. France,
of Winchester, Va. The little ones recited Scrip
ture verses with surprising aptness and accuracy.
The young peoples meeting at half-past three
o'clock was postponed until half past six, and q
preaching service was substituted in its stead,
which was conducted by Rev. Mr. Smith, of WASH
ington, who took for his text the fnh
chapter of Daniel and thirtieth verse
"In that night was Belshazzar, the king of the
Chaldeans slain" During this meeting the can
didates for the different offices in the county made
themselves obnoxious by their continued loud
talking. There are altogether on the grounds be-
tween six and eight hundred people Rev. Will

which is situated about one mile from the en-

made trip to the spring this morning. and on
their way back killed young snake, the species
OF which could not be learned. The party from
