NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The stock mar
ket was again very dull to-day except at
on an average on a higher plane than the
final figures ON Saturday. Trading in
general, however, presented little or no
feature of interest, being confined to the
scalping operations Of room trades. The
AtchsOn statement was seen TO have
been quite effectually discounted although
the bears on the strength OF a large de-
felt showed no fear and started in at the
opening of business 10 hammer the stock
down. The drive was severe and price
of the stock was brought down 15per cent.
Heavy selling was done by the best of
houses, but the local contingent were not
idle. The movement extended to Mis-
souri, Pacific and that stock did not show
Tecuperative power. The Atchison suf-
fered not only more i'll the decline but it
failed to recover until the rest of the list
grew strong. The close was active and
strong and generally at the highest prices
OF the day. Missouri Pacific went down

The railroad bond market was more
active than any day so far this year.
The tone Of the market was very strong

WHY THIS SILENCE q?

Not a word do We hear from the class
of moralzer's who sit in judgment upon
people who suffer from disasters, con-
cerning the destruction of DR.. Talmage's
church by fire. Where are they and what
is the cause of their prolonged silence !?
Though twenty days CT more have elapsed
since the catastrophe, not word have
they said as to the reason of it. This is
the more strange because of their usual
promptness in giving the why and where
fore of calamities Is their silence owing
to the fact that they cannot exactly har-
monize their pet theory with the event !?
1t u theater or place of secular amuse-
ment had burned down, and a second one
erected on the same site had met with z
similar fate, and both had been destroyed on
Sundays, what logical deductions would
have been drawn therefrom. How mani
fest in their eyes would it have been a
special visitation of Providence. But
tn ough the Brooklyn Tabernacle burned
down on Sunday, just as a former one
did that stood in the same place, the
moralizers who presume TO know ali
about Divine judgments, as they call
them, have failed to say anything about
the matter.

ELoPED IN HER NIGHT CLOTHES.

Mounted "a Fleet Horse She Rode Away
Behind Her Young LochinEar.
The Arkansas Register.
An elopement took place recently in
Fort Smith that for unique development
rivals anything on record. John Meadors
had for a long time been clandestinely
making love to Miss Josephine Grain, the
daughter of q well-known citizen. Miss
Grains father objected, as some fathers
have way of doing, and the love-lorn
swain bethought himself of ruse whereby
he might foil papa When finally the old
gentleman began to talk of doing some
shooting, if his intentions were persisted
in, Meadors determined that the time had
come TO act.
So he fixed it up with Miss Grain, and
this morning they had arranged to fee
ere the cock crew. John went to the
house before daylight and entered his
sweetheart's room, but it was sometime
before he could arouse her. The noise
awoke the old man, and lie came charg-
ing in just as Meadors went out the win
dow. The old man made chase, and
Meadors gave him the slip around the
house, where he jumped on his horse,
quickly followed by Miss Grain in her
night clothes, who perched astraddle be-
hind him while the horse lit out IN the
orthodox Lochinvar fashion.
Papa, now considerably irate, gave
chase, but he couldn't keep up with the
nag, and the couple soon gave him the
slip in a cornpatch, where Meadors Sc
creted his shivering sweetheart, while he
rode back to town for dress and a JUS
tice. An hour later the two were married
under the spreading branches of pecan
tree.

A CVNIC's OUESTE Ms.

Speaking of lately deceased General
this paragraph is going the rounds of the
papers: AT ,AHtietam, just after he
had taken the bridge. and while the
fghting'was almost haRdsto hand, Con.
f,derate 'oficer gave 'him the Masonic
sign. He recognized itinsoantly and sent
the officer uHharmed TO the rear" A
cynic asks, why The answer is they
both belonged to thes same order. But
the cynic comes back by asking, were
they not both members of the great
brotherhood of mankind Were they
not both Americans, and would not the
knowledge of these facts had similar
result Or if both belonging to the same
church, would such ties have been equally
availing ? if not, then self-imposed
obligation is stronger, and held more
sacred than the common ties of universal
brotherhood-than those of nature, or
than those of religion. But we leave the
cynic TO answer his own questio n, and to
wrestle with his own problem.

A MARVELLOUS NEWsPAP Err,

A great, wonderfully great newspa-
per is the New York World It's rapid
and stupendous growth is really phe-
nominal wonder in the eyes of ALI men.
In May, 1888, when Joseph Pulit ter left
the West and bought out the W mid Of
fee, the paper had but limited Gircula-
ton, and the venture was regart led by
shrewd business men as a hG2ardt nus an
dertaking. In his salutatoly, he mod
estly said: "There is room in this great
city for journal that is not only Cheap,
but bright not only bright, but arge
not only large, but truly Democratic de
voted more to things that are new Il ian to
those that are old" Events have pl 'oved
that there was room enough and to pare.
The paper is simply towering sue cess.
Its circulation for the week endinlg on
the 18th of October, aggregated 2,26! l,6s0
copies. The average number of da lilies
for the past six months has run ul2 to
342 206.
No wonder its proprietor is build ing
the finest and largest printing house OF
the world. II is to be 800 feet high, c on
tanning fourteen stories, and will cost
over 100000. The corner stone was
laid few days since, but the cor. uer
stone of its unparalleled prosperity was
laid when its present owner took char ge
of the paper.

REMOVING THE DEAD

The Work Continues-Forty- five Bodies Re-
moved saturday-Four Identihcations.
The work of removing the dead from
Prospect progressed rapidly Saturday,
Forty-fve bodies being removed This
was more than on any one day previous.
There were four bodies identified
Mr.. John w. James, who before the
flood lived at 55 Main street, was present,
aud identified the body of his wife. The
body of child bore some resemblance to
lost one of his, but it could not be pos.
itively identified.
The body of Mrs. Elizabeth Schatz, of
No. 1875 Union street, and that of her
daughter Annie were both identified
by Mrs. Schatz's son.
A body was raised in the afternoon
nat was thought by DIR. Wakefield to be
that of Miss frankie Wagner, daughter
of DR.. George Wagner, of Market street.
There will be further attempts to ideati-
fly the body before it is buried. DIR. Wag-
oner his wife, two single daughters, a
married daughter, Mrs. Frank Bowman,
Of Woodvale, her husband and their two
children, were all lost. They have all
been found except Miss frankie.
a son of Peter Mullin, ST., of Cone
msugh borough, recognized body as
that of his father. Mr.. Mullin was a
sncarman in the Gautier Works, and left
a large family.
a great many people, mostly women,
have been present all the time, hoping ia
mud some missing friend or relative. AS
uany as five hundred are thought to have
been present Yesterday.
The work is pursued Systematically,
When coffin containing child is to be
opened one group of anxious watchers
gathers around, and when large coffin is
to be opened another group forms q
circle TO examine carefully the remains as
the lid is raised, And there are some
who watch every corpse in the hope oi
finding at least one member of a whole
fan lily that is still missing.
Yesterday afternoon the workmen be.
gan opening very small coffin. AS usua
large crowd was auxiously watching
When the coffin was opened it was found
to contain foot and part OF leg badly
burned. The foot had on Iady's but
toned shoe. 1t was likely all that re
NAMED of some body that had beer
burned at the bridge.

Tho TemnorarY Bridges.

Many of our people feel much concern
about the temporary bridges that now
connect different parts of the city. II
they should be taken away by high water
would put many people to great incon-
vsnience and loss. In this connection il
it may be interesting to note the follow
ing action recently taken by the Flood
Finance Committee, after hearing the re-
port of Mr.. Schenk:
Resolved, That the existing temporary bridge
on the site or Lincoln bridge be replaced
by wooden truss bridge to be placed at an ele-
walton OF four feet above the present abutments
and that the Councils OF the bor0ughs OF Johns
town and Millville be requested to authorize
such construction and the change OF grade re-
quired therefor.
Resolved, That such work should be done to
the Franklin street bridge, WoOdvale bridge,
Poplar street bridge and the Cambria bridge in
the way or sheathing and weighting the piers as
VIII tend TO strengthen them, and that re-
serve OF lumber for bridge construction shall be
provided and kept I'm readiness to quickly re-
place such OF these bridges as may be carried
away by hoods.
Resolved That Joseph Morgan, Jr., be re-
quested ana authoritized to take charge OF the
matters provided for in the foregoing resolu-
tion, and TO take immediate action.

Nea rIy 81 900 900 Contributed fer the Con
emaugh Sufferers.
New York Sun, Thursday.
The Consmaugh Valley Relief Fund
has been closed by the action of the Ex-
ecutIve Committee, which held meeting
Of the Mayors Office few days ago. Mr.
j. Edward Simmons, the Treasurer, made
his final report, and as result of the ac-
ton of the Committee a letter was sent
TO Gov. James A. Beaver. authorizing
him to draw the balance now in the hands
of the Treasurer, j. Edward Simmons,
amounting TO SIC, 199. So, and closing the
New York fund.
The total receipts of the New York
Conemaugh Valley Relief COMMITTEES
were $516. .937. 80, and the disbursements
to date, $500, 1884. This does not in
clude the several hundred thousand dol
lars sent directly, and which did not go
through the hands of the committee. The
collecting, acknowledging, and transfer
ring of this money has been done without
any cost whatever to the fund.
Mr.. J. B. Kremer, Secretary of the
Flood Relief Commission, wrote to the
Mayor two weeks ago, asking for full
