THEY RETURN THANKS.
Resolutions Adopted by the Har-
mOny Alliance of COpiah
County.

Whereas, We believe the triumph
of the high aims and noble purposes
of our order founded upon the piinci-
Piles of truth, equity and justice, will
effect the emancipation of the tOiling
masses from the grasp of organized
monopoly and the development of a
better state mentally, morally, social
ly aud financially" we pledge to each
other anew our fidelity in umitcdly la
boring with eternal vigilance until
this happy state of affairs has been
attained unto; and,
Whereas, We note with apprecia-
ton any influences, by whatever spir-
it inspired, either from within or with
out the order, thaC may converge to
the accomplishing of this end and,
Whereas, Mr.. 5. ii. Ably, editor of
the Crystal Springs Meteor, by his
repeated attacks upon the Alliance,
by copying from other papers false
reports against some of our leaders
and failing to correct the same when
| they have been proven false to the
satisfaction of searchcrs after truth,
and by his insinuatiOns against the
| Democracy of the order, when its
members are those who have been
the defenders of Democracy and who
have led where it would have been an
honor to him to have followed, is
helpful to our cause in causing our
brotherhood to rcpel these apparent
reflections and to stand more united
and as we believe what he is doing Is
exciting the disgust of many intelli-
gent persons who are not members OF
our order; and.
Whereas, Said editor seems so fan
separated in feeling from the masses
as to he incapable of understanding
and approaching their motives and
their aims, but is unaware, perhaps
as indicated above, helping on oul
cause therefore be it
Resolved by Harmony Alliance
That the thanks of this Alliance are
hereby rendered said editor for the
good work he is doing the Alliance
and we indulge the hope that he may
yet be blessed with many days and a
continued supply of adiectives with
which though ideas may often he
wanting, he is always well furniShed)
in which he may carry on the good
work.
Resolved further, That the BROOK
HAVEN LEADER be requested to pub
fish this preamble and resolutions,
and that papers friendly to the Ali
ance, and especially the Mississippian
be requested to copy.

Okolona, Miss, the official organ Of

an esteemed and worthy brother, who
has from the first inception of the or
der in our State proven himself to be
a noble defender and expounder of
the principles set fourth in our declar-
alton of purposes and reform de-
mands and,
Whereas, We deem it the duty of
every true Alliance member i'll our
State, to join in sympathy and mani
fest the same by subscribing for the
paper of our unfortunate brother :;
therefore be it
Resolved by this Alliance, That the
President appoint a committee of three
whose duty it shall be to solicit sub
scrip tons t. the Messenger, and re-
port at next meeting.
Resolved, That copy of these

to express his appreciation of the
courtesy of Rev. w. A. Alexander,
clerk of the Synod, for assistance

PANIC IN OIL CITY.
Brokers Go About Crazy as Prices Slide
Gradually Toward the Forties.

Brokers Go About Crazy as Prices Slide
Gradually Toward the Forties.
OIL CITY, Aug. 7.-One of the hardest
blows that the speculative oil market has
received in years was the panicky break
from 5Sl4c to SOC to-day. On July 6, 1882,
with the Cherry Grove field at its top notch,
and production from all fields amounting
to 100000 barrels per day, prices declined
to 4914c. That was the lowest price from
that time until to-day, although during the
bank panic of 1884, forced by the strin-
gency of money, many holders of long oil
sold at a sacrifice, and prices touched
Size on June "a. The exact cause of to-
DAVIS panic would be hard to state. The
extension of the Noblestown and McDon-
aids fields, and the Improvements of the
old wells, together with the report from
Gallery that the burning well on the New
ton Garvin farm had been eXtinguished and
was doing 20 barrels per hour, had nothing
10 encourage a holder of long oil, or to ring
in anv new buyers. The weakness of other
speculative commodities made its effects
felt in the early hours of the oil market,
and several good-sized selling orders were
executed without materially affecting prices.
Some of the longs tried to take advantage
of the supposed strength of the market TO
unload, and the decline started, slowly at
first, but gaining ground by each thousand
barrels that were thrown on the
market on account of exhaust
ed margins In the last five
minutes it became veritable panic. Just
how excited and weak the feeling was may
be Judged by the fact that while oil was
selling at 54jSc one broker bid SOC for 1O, 900
barrels and got it, ard that, too, after prices
had already broken cents. Fifteen thou
sand barrels were sold by the same broker
at SOC, and more was offered at the same
price when the gong rang at closing time.
The feeling was a trife better after the close
and 50Izc was bid.
