An Illinois colonel felt it his duty to
praise these double acting arms. Said
he: "In platoon firing with the Belgian
musket. / can tell what | cannot with
any other arm. and that is. how many
pieces have been fired.

kick like a mule, and burst with the

A good anecdote is told of lad on one
of the Union gunboats. The vessel was
just going into action and our soldier
was upon his knees, when an officer
sneeringly asked him if he was afraid.
NO; | was praying" was the response.
"Well, what were you praying for?"
Praying" said the soldier. that the
enemy's bullets may be distributed the
same way as the prize money is--princi-

were openly advising holders not to part with
their shares, there IVES marked lack OF buying
orders brought out by the decline. Two stories
were started to account for the weakness, one
being that parties who have examined the
property with a view to purchase were dissatis-
fed with 1t and had started a liquidation and
one that the reports of the passing Of the dlVl-
dend had been started by persons who waited
to get the stock at lower figure. The subse-
quent weakness in Rock Island gave color TO
this latter theory, as the same people VINO con-
troll Chicago and East Illinois are also proml-
nent IN hock Island.
The weakness in Chicago and East Illinois
checked the improving tendency in the gen.
eral list, but it was not until tho bear attacks
upon Rock Island that the decline extended to
the general list. The Chicago party joined
forces with the bears and the grangers were all
attacked, but without special effect until the
issue Of the statement Of the earnings OF the
st, Paul for December with its decrease In the
net of 81, 900, when everything gave way more
freely and in the grangers material losses were
sustained. Sugar refneries sympathized
closely with this movement but attracted little
attention.
The Chicago and East Illinois stocks rallied
partially but the rally had no apparent effect
upon the rest of the market, and the downward
movement was continued right up to the close,
which was weak at the lowest prices. Inc
Coalers were active, but well held throughout,
as was also New England. The final losses Of

A drizzIing Monday morning rarely brings

report quietness all along the line. Fancy
apples are about the only article in short sup
ply. Good potatoes, both Irish and sweet, are
steady. Choice onions are very firm at quota

slow starting up, fact which dealers charge
up to weather and the wretched condition Of
country roads. Trade has picked up some in
the past few days, and joDbers are well stocked
up with view to big spring trade. There is
little doubt that the full quota will be called
for, but the season is slow starting out, and
dealers look for a rush when once the ball
starts up. As it is, the regular customers who
are away from railroad communication are shut
out from the world of commerce by oceans OF

-Advices from the Belcher district 20 miles
west of Gainesville, Tex, state that the menin-
gifts epidemic which broke out there week
ago is spreading with alarming rapidity. More
than 30 persons have died during the week and
many others are beyond the hope Of recovery.
Out of the whole number attacked oy the dis
ease, not single person has recovered. EVe5-
thing that medical skill could suggest has been
done to save life, but to no avail.
The various appropriation funds in the
hands of the State Treasurer Of Montana have
been practically exhausted. The State Treas
urer has informed United States Marshal Irvine
that he will not allow any more bills for the
support of conVicts until the Legislature makes
the necessary appropriations. This is crisis
in the situation of State affairs and it is thought
it will have the effect of forcing the Legisla-
ture to pass some measures this week.

OIL Declines From the Start, With Nothing z
DOinR-Field NOIeu-
There was very little doing in the oil market
yesterday. 1t was the dullest session for long
time. The opening was fairly steady, with
Pittsburg light buyer, but tired longs soon
began to realize. There were sales at log, 1857
and los, showing a steady and uninterrupted
decline. Then, along IN the afternoon, the
bung few out and away it went The close was
weak, at the lowest point of the day.
The range was: Opening LOG, highest 1867,
lowest and closing 1045<. Trading was light at
all points. Saturdays clearances were 5l4,0OU
barrels.
The McCalmont Oil Company's Stone-sypher

The direction of the field now bears toward
Cork, to where there is possibility of extend
ing it. The territory is good one. no dry holes
having yet been found. The present produc-
tion of the Stone-Syphcr is 40 barrels day.

NEW YORK, February 3.-The stock market

while there was only a moderate volume of
business, the declines scored in some stocks
were large, and everything traded in, with a
few unimportant exceptions, is lower this even
ing. The opening was marked by a firm tone,
though there was no special feature outside of
Pacific Mail, which was advanced again by the
Rufus Hatch party TO the best figures yet at
tained, but notwithstanding the repeated asser-
tions that the movement was based on the
merits Of the property only and not upon hopes
OF subsidy, the stock was unable to hold its
advantage and sank away IL per cent from it's
best figure.
The bears received some encouragement from
the continned weakness of the Chicago and
