MEMORIAL SERVICE. In accord
ance with former notice published in
this journal, memorial services were
held in the Congregational Church
Saturday afternoon, August 9Th, at 2
clock, under the auspices of the
Grand Army Post, in honor of Gen.
u. S. Grant the man who, under the
providence of God, saved the union and
preserved the government of this great
free nation from destruction. The
weather was unfavorable and it rained
in torrents at the hour of meeting, yet
the church was comfortably filed
Rev. j. [. Creighton presiding elder
of this NJ. E. Conference delivered the
discourse on this occasion which was
one of the most appropriate and beft-
ting euologies on the Generals life,
character and principle, we ever heard.
He reviewed the history of Gen.
Grants life, touching upon the prin-
cipal points of interest in his army.
national and private life. He brought
out the full force and power of such a
life as Gen. Grants and It's effect upon
the nation. That in his death, posi-
bly,, more good might be accomplished
than in the history of his illustrious
life. He spoke of the extreme love
and affection he bore to his wife and
family; the power and force of charac-
ter he exhibited while in command of
his army; and of his faith and assur-
ance of success in whatever he under
took, especially his faith in God. The
last hour of the Generals life was a
living example of his great faith in
the father of US all The church was
beautifully decorated with flags, black
and white Grape and evergreens. Over
the pulpit hung life-like picture of
Gen. Grant while on either side of this
hung the pictures of Abraham Lincoln
and James A. Garfield The singing
was appropriate to the occasion and
well rendered The Grand Army boys
were largely represented aud attended
the services in body under command
of D z. Carey. The Post was great
ly pleased with the discourse as we'll as
all those who heard it.

The second entertainment of the
Peoples Popular Star Course, by Miss
Helen Potter, proved like the former,
a very entertaining one. Her read
ings were excellently rendered and her
approximations were superb. She sus-
tanned her reputation of being
Americas greatest reader without
doubt. Her intelligent audience,
though small, appreciated the evenings
entertainment to the highest degree.
IF she should ever visit this city
again she will be greeted by larger
audience.

WICHITA FALLS, Tex, March 16.-Last

teen persons in Vernon, Wilbarger County,

PENNSYLVANIA COAL MINERS.

Large Meeting at Irwin Station-SeveraI
Mines Concede in the Fourth PooI-Dis-
satisfaction Growing in Carbon County.
PITTSBURGH, March 16.-The largest and
most turbulent meeting of miners held in
this vicinity for years gathered at Irwin
Station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad Sat
urday, and excepting short recess at
noon, continued in session from an early
hour until late in the evening. President
Costello arrived at two o'clock and was
escorted to the Opera House, where he was
received by over 1000 miners representing
eight of the largest mines on the road Sew
eral hours were spent in heated discussion
of the situation, after which, by an almost
unanimous vote it was decided to immedi-
ately demand restoration of the rate pre-
vailing before the fifteen per cent. reduction,
which had been ordered and accepted two
weeks ago This action if adhered to cuts
off from eastern cities Pittsburgh coal for
gas making purposes. Reports from the
fourth pool Monongahela River states the
Frazier and Fryes and the James Harris
Company's mines have conceded to the de-
mand and notified the miners committee to
resume work on Monday at the three-cent
rate. The river is steadily rising and the
pools have been filled with empty boats but
not one has been loaded.
That there has been any advantage gained
by the operators in the past week cannot be
conceded. They have stood firm and have
seen mine after mine go ont and join the
army of strikers. They have seen some few
open at the old figures but none at the old
rates. The miners, ON the other hand, have
witnessed the closest organized effort the
men ever knew in their lives. But there are
many of them without cent or pound of
flour in the house and there must be a
ch;slge in the situation before many days.
There has been no change in the situation in
the Panhandle district reported.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March 16.-There is
a feeling of dissatisfaction growing among
the miners and laborers of the Hazleton
district and portion of Carbon County. 1t
is probable that general demand will be
made for the restoration of the ten per cent.
wages taken from them in January. The
Knights of Labor fraternity is rapidly
growing.

Metropolitan Merchants Report q Larger
Volume of Business-The Failure Rec
ord.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Telegrams
from nearly all the larger cities to Brad
Street's announce an improved feeling as to
the outlook for general trade. At most
points. with TIE arrival of better weather,
there has been an increased number of
sales in dry goods and other staples, al
though interior purchasers do not appear to
be taking goods in excess of immediate
wants. Dry-goods jobbers at Eastern mar
ketS continue to find cause for encourage
ment, while commission agents report their
trade relatively fiat. The check put on the
movement of merchandise by the striking
employees of the Gould railways has dis
turbed trade in the region tributary to those
roads, particularly at st. Louis. In some
lines of business at large Western
cities renewed activity is apparent. The
commercial demand for funds at Chicago
and elsewhere West has increased and for
the above and other reasons traders have
been inclined to look with more favGr on
the prospects for business during the earlier
portion of 1885. The industrial situation in
the East is rather worse than better. The
Pittsburgh region softcoal miners, yariousIy
reported from six thousand to nine thousand
in number have stopped work, demanding
three cents instead of 215 cents per bushel.
The carpet-weayers' strikes near Philadel-
phia and at Yonkers, N. Y, are unrelieyed
while in addition to the former industrial
troubles in New England there is more talk
than before of the necessity of shutting
down the cotton mills, owing to the present
appropriateness of the business. One en-
cOuraging sign is more hOneful feeling in
the general Eastern pig-iron trade. No adj
vance in prices is expected in the near fu-
ture, and no boom in any event, but makers
and their agents are inclined to look more
favorably on the situation and outlook.
The speculative markets have vibrated
sharply under reports of impending war be-
tween Great Britain and Russia. Railway
stocks, wheat, corn, petroleum, cotton and
hog products have felt the influence. In
creased speculative activity in breadstutfs,
hog products, oil and cotton have been more
conspicuous than enlarged transactions for
exports. Wheat has been exceptionally ac-
tive during the week.
Nearly all grocery staples are weak.
Coffee, sugar and spices are lower and dis
tribution is no heavier. Dairy products are
quiet Butter is lower and cheese barely
steady. Wool prices are not improved and
although steady in some lines the tendency
is now downward.
There were $50 failures in the United
States reported to BrddstreePs during the
week, against 222 in the preceding week,
and 1876, 233 and 140 in the corresponding
weeks of 1884, 1888 and 1882 respectively.
Classified by sections and compared with
last week the result is as follows:
