tanned than on either Of the days last
week when prices dropped. There was
no apparent cause for the weakness in
either the railroad or the business world,
but many are inclined to look upon it as
O natural consequence OF the too rapid
rise of the past ten days.
A SCARCITY OF FUNDS.
The day was the first of the month
and there was q scarcity Of money
to loan, owing to the disburse-
ments for interest being made by the
banks, and rates on call were high
dunng most OF the day, reaching Ii per
cent. at one time. There was also
another failure announced, but it was not
of sufficient importance to have had any
influence upon the course OF prices.
London was seller for no apparent
reason, but this gave the bears IN OPP
portunity TO hammer the list with more
success. and many stop-orders were
reached in the early trading. 30 that the
market throughout the day was quite
demoralized.

The selling was principally in arbitrage

MANY EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW.

In perhaps majority of the puipits
of this city appropriate reference was
made on Sunday to the death of Mr..
Ellyson. Several pastors delivered very
touching eulogies on his life and cha
racter.
Rev. DR.. Frost, at Leigh-Street Bap-
ist. and Rev. DIR. Landrum, at the Sc
cond church, both spoke of the loss that
had been sustained by the Church and
State and the former discussed at some
length the life and character of the de-
ceased.
Rev. J, r. Harrison. of Glade Spring,
in his sermon at the Manchester Baptist
church Sunday morning, alluded in very
affectionate terms to Mr.. Ellyson, whom
he had known intimately for great
many years. He added with trembling
voice and tears in his eyes that no
eulogy would ever do justice to him who
had been called hence and to whom the
Baptisis owe 50 much for the spread OF
the GOSPEL.

Mrs. Bumgardner was born in Georgia

years ago. Early in her youth she came to

West Virginia, near the Ohio River. She
is remarkable woman in many respects.
At the great age of 104 years she does not

she wore at the time-was hemmed and
stitched as prettily and as deity as the same

smokes a pipe regularly, preferrIng

her eight children are still alive. She had
40 grandchildren and 35 great grandchil-

NOT SUFFERING NOW.

Different state of Aff,irs in Guthrie From
What Hns Bcen Reported-A Letter
Tint Cast. Considerable New Light on
the Subject.
j. D. Watson, Esq, calls attention to a
letter received by II. S. Lydick, ESQ.,, from
friend named D. G. Satterla, in Guthrie,
Oklahoma. which gives different story of
the state OF affairs there from that lately
published broadcast According to this
letter, there is no suffering in and about
Guthrie, except that incident to all new
settlements where general comforts, the
product of ages of settlement, are not ex-
pected.
The writer states that Guthrie is still i'm
proving. The Legislature is in session, and.
though there ought to be Republican ma
jority on joint ballot, the Democrats pooled
with the Ashland people, and by the aid of
three traitors from Oklahama City, made
alliance men presiding officers in both
Houses, it being charged that the Oklahama
men were secured with the promise that
they should get the State Capital. The
writer, evidently bitter Republican, bases
his hopes on veto from Governor Steel, a
veto which cannot be overridden.
The writer adds that but few are suffering
in Guthrie, very few having asked for aid.
All kinds Of food are dear, as there was
nothing raised to any appreciable extent
except corn and melons. Wheat was good
but the average sown was quite small.
There are no mills to grind grain, which
causes some trouble. The cotton crop was
good. He says there are not nearly so many
attorneys in Guthrie as formerly, indicating
prosperity ami absence of litigation, though
Satterla predicted there would be much
contesting after the 23d instant, as settlers
were to get their deeds on that date with
large number of contests already filed.

THE ARMY IN FRANCE.
1t is I'm n srnte of Preparation. Though the
sky Is Peaceful.

1t is In n stnte of Preparation. Though the
sky is Peaceful.
rBY pUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.l
PARIS, September 27.-The result of the
recent maneuvers of the French army has
been made known. According to the re-
port of the officers, it has furnished absolute
proof that the French soldier marches
much better than he did, and gets ready
more quickly. He endures fatigue we'll
and is more obedient to discipline. while he
also shows more respect than formerly to his
superior officers. Nor does he waste his
ammunition as much as it was feared he
would, and he has not lost confidence in the
use of the bayonet. The horses, too, be-
hayed well in the field. but the artillery
was not very rapid in its movements, but
was very solid when it was fixed.
The question of smokeless powder, the
superiority of which it was thought would
be absolutely demonstrated by these maneu-
vers, is still not settled, though 1t is very
improbable that return will ever be made
TO the old form. 1t is said that only a real
war can ever really decide the superiority
of the one over the other. And, happily,
the present relations of the European powers
make it look as if the opportunity for the
practical experiment is buried deep in the
future. II smokeless powder should be used
in actual warfare many more orderlies
would certainly be required than are now,
for it would be very difficult to watch the
movements of the enemy, as the soldiers
hide themselves as much as possible. The
report goes on to state that it is decided to
abolish all shiny material, glistening helmets
and other bright parts OF the dress of the
men, which enable them to be seen by on
lockers at a great distance.
