LINsLY STUDENTS ENTERTAIN
A Varied Programme OF orations, Essays
Music and Debate.

The spacious armory OF the LinSly
Institute was well filed last evening
with an audience that was al once eX-
pectant and satisfied. 1t was the long
looked forward to entertainment by the
members OF the Literary Society con-
nected with the Institute. The stu
dents ably acquitted themselves in the
various roles, and the unmiStakable
signs of appreciation which everywhere
appeared must have been gratifying
indeed. to scholars and teachers alike.
The programme opened with a neat

way OF change in the previous sub
jectS, VIM. II. Grocote gave rather a
pleasant essay on Manners. The in
strumental duet, by Hazlett +. Freeze
and Mr.. Gilchrist, met with apprecia-
tive response, and was followed by a
defamation, "Spartacus to the Gladi-
ators." In the hands of Thomas Il.
Sweeney this old time piece seemed to
take n new lease OF life. George w.

scene was made all the more effective

were in Roman garb. The original

was meritorious. Hazlett Freeze gave
an essay OF "Electrcity' and made

TIRE NEW LAW AS TO DEEDS.
A General sentim ent thst II should Have
Been Amended

The publication yesterday morning
! ~ the REGISTER Of the full text OF the
act amending previously existing laws
relating TO the acknowledgement OF
deeds, gave the general public and TO a
large extent the legal fraternity "a we'll
It's first authentic information respect
! ing the Measure, and there was general
surprise expressed ~ attorneys that
the Legislature should haze enacted
a law OF that description, ito take ef-
feet from its passage" The bill was
approved by the Governor February
96th, and for fifteen days thereafter, or
until the 18th OF March, there was no
certain means OF knowing Just what
changes had been made; and the
Acknowledgement Of deeds went
forward under statute, which, as
matter Of fact, had been repealed.
That this sort OF thing might easily
lead 10 trouble is apparent at glance,
and y will not be the fault Of the Leg
islaturc if litigation does not grow out
OF the matter.
Several leading attorneys were .r'er-
viewed upon the question by reporters
FOR the REGISTER, yesterday, and they
were unanimOhs in condemning the
rae: that the law toOlt effect from its
passage, pointing out that even ~ this
time, there must be county officials ana
scores OF attorneys unacquainted with
the provisions of the measure, and that
deeds involving large sums and vast To-
terests would be fled for record, Tor
days to come, under the provisions Of
the old law. Under the old law
a very general and simple
form OF acknowledgment has been
usual fof deeds coming from cor
porationS, almost anyone being capable
OF drawing what was sufficient In the
Hew law, long and strict form OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has been substituted,
and the statute will have to be con-
suited with care. Attention was also
called TO 'hc fact that all
corporation deeds drawn since
the approval Of the acl, under
the rid law, will have 10 be closely
scrutinized, ana IN retransferring, AT any
time in the future, buyers ~i!' naturally
want the statute complied with, ncce'-
stating deeds Of correction, etc. TO say
nothing Of the loop-hole afforded liti-
garts
When the form Of remedy for this
source Of possible trouble was suggested
by the reporter, one leading attorney
said the best thing for the Legislature
20 do, before adiourning, would be TO
pass an act legalizing in lump all
deeds made according to the old prac-
ticc from the date OF the approval OF the
new law up t0, cay the first
OF July coming, thus correct

TREND OF TRADE.
FOREIGN INFLUENCES AGAIN DISTURB THE
HARRIET A LITTLE
Watch Increases the Prevalent Conservative Feel
ing-Spsaulation is Very Active in Some Lines.
Great ShriDkage in the Output Of Iron
Owing to the Coke Strike.

NEW YORK, Marcn l3.-R. &. Dun i
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: For
, U..n ,uuuences nave again disturbed the
market little and increased the preva-
lent conservatism OF feeling. There Is
more active speculation In breadstuffs,
pork products and cotton, which have
all advanced. and the outlook for farm
ers has RARELY been better at this sea
son tnan il is now. CT the great indus
tries nearly all are expending and en-
ploying labor fully, but the coke strike
and other causes have produced re-
markable shrinkage in the output OF iron.
The weekly output of all furnaces in
blast March ! was but 134, ,526 tons, a
decrease of - per cent. in month. So
great a decline would be d sign of i'm
pending disaster ii it were nc properly
attributable in large measure to tenn
porary causes. Belief that the coke
strike will soon end in cheaper supplies
of fuel, while the railroads west OF Pitts
burg have just agreed to reduce their
charges, prompts consumers to expect
lower prices soon; and though the mar
ket here has better tone, Northern
No. l is quoted as low as Sl7,
and Southern at S16.25. The rail
combination has at last been
formed, but the demand is small. Bar
iron is weak, but in structural there Is
more activity. The prospect for the
building trades is rather dull here, but
at other cities, particularly at the west,
it is remarkably brisk with the single
condition that threatened labor strikes
do not interfere. Wool manufacturing
is doing remarkably well, though the
price of goods do not advance. The
mills engaged on dress goods, knit
goods are especially active, aud the
worsted works are on full time with fair
prices. Reports from other cities are
fairly favorable. Boston notes more
buyers OF boots and shoes from all parts
of the country.
At Philadelphia the wool trade is ac-
tive with light supplies.
Al Chicago wool receipts are larger,
wheat much larger, and cured meats
show an increase as compared with last
year.
Pittsburg notes no change in iron or
rails, but some Improvement in window
glass.
Cleveland notes hopefulness for spring
trade. Detroit observes prospect OF
great activity in building.
Throughout the West complaints OF
slow collections grow more frequent and
the money market, though nowhere
positively stringent, IS generally firm
with more active demand. The volume
of business continues larger than year
ago, but the range OF prices OF farm
products included is over 10 per cent
higher. Wheat rose ~ cents, reacted
about l cent yesterday.
The business failures occurring
through the country the last seven days
number 973, as compared with total OF
255 last week. For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 252.

PARNELL's APPEAL
To the American People for Aid for Ire
lands Freedom.

LONDON, March l3.-The following
manifesto was issued by Mr.. Parnell
this evening;
House OF COMMONS, March -.
TO The Irish People Of America:
FELLOW CoUNTRYMEN:-In 1850 and
subsequent years you assisted me pow
erfully by your influence upon Amer-
can public opinion, and with your gen
erous financial support, TO create the
great movement of the Land League
Without your aid so freely given and so
constantly maintained, Ireland could
not for one moment hav" .,,.. moo
...a,ust ner oppressors, still less could
she nave attained the singular position
of power and the promise OF success
which she has occupied during the last
five years.
At the instant when victory seemed
near and certain the hasty ana meddle-
some interferences OF English pOliti-
clans i'm the complex organization OF
our party and movement aided by a
sudden panic among some young raw
recruits, eagerly seconded by few
malcOntentS, Office seekers and enyiouS
persons who crept into our ranks. tenn
porarily destroyed the unity of our
forces and sapped the independence OF
many Irish representatives..
Ii now becomes my task to restore
this unity and reconstruct our move
ment, chOpping off all unSOund mate
rials, taking elfectual precautions
against the admission In future into
our army Of any weak, treacherous,
Self-seeking elements. Fortune has nm
veiled the danger and given space for
this reconstruction before the general
election, and disclosure has brought
about a realization OF the inSuilicieucy
of Mr.. GladStone'S proposed solution of
the situation to secure the legitimate
liberty, happiness, prosperity OF your
brothers and sisters in ireland. This
disclosure was timely and all important.
The delegates, who, at my request,
are now crossing the ocean to your
shores, are well qualified with expert
ence, ability and patriotism to fully eX-
plain and defend my position, which all
that is sound, courageous and reliable at
home have assumed TO meet with this
crisis. commend them TO your hoSpi-
talitv, and am confident that you Will
extend to them the most favorable re-
ception and hearing.
They are each and all well tried sold
ierS who have constantly distinguished
themselves in oar war against coercion
and British miSrule which despite intim-
idation and influence of the most un-
ScrupulouS and far-reaching character,
have bravely defended me during these
dark and trying moments. With con
fdence even greater than in 1850 ap'
peal TO you once more to assist me in
Quelling this mutiny and diSlOyElty TO
Ireland, to help me secure a really in
parliamentary parry SO that
we may make one more, even though 1t
may be our last effort TO win freedom
and prosperity for our nation by consti-
tutiOnal means.
Your faithful servant,

What is Going on In the Belmont Field
and Vicinity.

BELMONT, w. VA, March l3.-Iour
correspondent has finally mustered suf-
ficient courage to take peep al the
Belmont field to see how 1t looks since
the recedence OF the waters. You have
already been told Of the wreckage and
losses caused by the food; Of the desc
lation and general castaway appearance
OF everything. Since then some effort
has been made TO restore things
20 rights. nut II is pretty
tough job. Many people have
gone away because OF lack OF work.
Where one used to see score OF men,
now he will soc a single individual trail
ing through the mud with wrench or
a piece OF pipe in his hand. Some or
the wells that were under water have
had their derricks, etc, removed ana
are pumping. What comes out OF the
wells In many Instances is water. How
so much water got in the holes, and
when the oil is going TO rettrn In re-
sponse to the Pump is what Is myst'fy-
ing a good many.
The Ruttencutter wells are mostly III
a bad condition. Two OF them are still
under water, one derrick topped over.
One OF the wells is being pumped and
the usual amount Of oil produced.
The Brown-Duncan Co.'S three wells
on the right of way are aggregating
about 100 barrels since the water left
them. The derricks and other NOV
able property on the two wells
at the mouth OF the creek were carried
away by the recent flood. They have
just got them rebuilt and will renew
operations shortly.
The Watson Co.'S two wells on the
south side Of the mouth Of French
creek, are reported 10 be doing 100 bar
tels each.
The Acre and a Half Co.'S two wells
are reported both pumping with an out
put OF about II barrels.
The Simpson Oil Co.'S well was not
injured by the flood. IL IS doing very
little, possibly from three TO five bar
relS per day.
The Prince No. l, since the water
went down, is steadily doing 100 barrels.
The tubing in their No. 2 parted some
days ago. and they are preparing to
draw It, Their No. 3 is flowing out OF
the casing, but until Wednesday the
water was so high IL could not be saved.
