considerable increase in the activity of the
cotton market last week, the stiffness in
the prices of cotton inducing holders Of
discretionary orders to press in the best
possible manner. Prices generally hard
ened. Business was well distributed over
Indian, Chinese and Korean markets, and
there were moderate sales at South Ameri-
can and other minor markets. The home
market continued fair. Yarns were firm,
with considerable forward business. Strikes
are now considered impossible, owing to
the want of unity among the master
spinners. The Continental cotton trade is
active and healthy.

American Band Concert.

Many who were disappointed in not
hearing music in Golden Gate Park yester-
day made up what they lost by visiting the
Mechanics Pavilion and listening to the
music by Roncovieri's American Band.
The attendance was unusually large the
music charming, and the pictures which
were thrown on the large screen above the
musicians to illustrate several of the num-
bers were appropriate and in every in
ment. Roncovieri's idea of music and pic
lures has taken firm hold on the people,
as is evinced by the increased nightly at
tendance. Another excellent programme
tonight.

ADVENTURES OF A BELL.


the River; Now Is ins Norm ondOm.
There is bell now hanging over private
schoolhouse of a Mormon prophet, in Salt
Lake City, which has a curious and some
what amusing history. 1t was the first
church bell that ever rang out over the
plains of Iowa, having been erected in the
tower OF the First Presbyterian Church of
Iowa City.
few years after its installation a
trouble arose between the pastor and the
people over the question of salary, which
resulted in the formers making an at
tempt to capture and carry away the bell
to square accounts" The good man had
gone so far as to secure ladder and ascend
TO the roof of the church, when the church
officials got wind of the affair and rushed
to the rescue of their property. They per-
mltted the bell to be lowered to the ground,
but then seized upon 1T, loaded it in a
wagon and drove away. The ladder was
also simultaneously removed, leaving the
enraged parson wildly gestlculating from
his pulpit in the tower. This exciting
event in the early history of Iowa City
was promptly embalmed in verse by a
local poet.
The subsequent history of this same bell
has touch of romance about it. The
''pillars" of the church, who took away
tne prize In the wagon, carried 1t, as alter
ward appeared, to river near at hand and
buried it in the channel. AS it happened,
one of the citizens concerned in the bust
ness afterward developed sympathy with
the Mormons. He impaired information
concerning the bell to another of like sym
pathies, and through them its rem oval
was effected. 1t was conveyed secretly to
the vicinity of Bloomington-now Musca-
tine-on the banks of the Mississippi
River, and there deposited in the chan
mel of stream known as Devils Creek.
Thence it was carried to point near Mont
rose, ILL.,, where it remained for some
years buried in the sand. 1t was then ex-

Il Pteth0ric Condition Ertsts in the LON
don Money Market.
LONDON, March 10.-The money market
last week relapsed into its former plethoric
condition. The Rothschilds' Chilean issue
was fully covered within two hours. Anv
amount of money was obtained at 1 Lie
per cent. The Canadian Pacific COLLAPSE
had a demoralizing effect and drove all
business in the direction of gilt-edged
securities and the mining market, where
another boom seems to have commenced.
Buying orders poured in from the CONT
nent and immense blocks of the shares of
South American ventures were easily
placed by syndicates in Paris at profit.
Foreign securities remained firm in antici-
patton of the Rothschilds carrying through
the conversion into 81 per cent of Ell, 00O,-
600 of Russian As.
Home railway securities were quiet, the
traffic reports and Board of Trade returns
being unpromising.
Mexican and all South American securi-
ties, except Chileans, were weak. Cana
dian Pacific fell ten points, and although
a rumor that the Dominion was about to
issue a new loan was denied, Canadian
Pacifics remained very weak.
American railroad securities were also in
the worst condition. Heavy sales from
Wall street and rumors of reduced diyi-
dends depressed the market all around.

BATTLE FLAGS REMOVED,
Doric Hall Emblems Laid Away for an
Indefinite Period

The group of old battle flags which fol
almost thirty years have been the center
of veneration in Doric Hall at the State
house were last week removed. When
they will be again displayed is uncertain.
The work of removing them began early in
the week under the direction of the ser

Each color was carefully wrapped in big
sheets Of paper and laid away.
The reason for removing them is be-
cause that portion of the State house is to
be rebuilt The colors were placed in Doric
Hall in 1866, just after the close of the
war. In 1886, after part of them had
fallen from their positions, they were rear

LONDON, March 1o.-A dispatch from
Moosh to the Telegraph says that depu-

commission and narrated the whole
story of the butchery. Their statements
fully corroborated the worst details that
were published. The evidence made a
powerful impression on the commission.
Other dispatches to the Telegraph, de-
clare that 600 eye-witnesses, who have been
examined, all deny that the Armenians
provoked the Sassoun massacres and ex-
onerates the Kurds from the brutalities.

Serious Accident.

Our Harmony correspondent sends
us the following: Whilst Mrs. Charles
Young and Miss Mollie Shaffer, of N.Y.
ersville, were passing through this
place on their return home Tues
day evening, their horse frightened at
some old building material lying
around the old factory; the horse COM
menced backing and ran the buggy
down into the Waste race, throwing
the occupants out into the mud aud
water and demolishing the buggy top.
Mrs. Young had a six months old babe
on her lap when the buggy went over,
which was almost drowned, as the
mud and water covered the child.
This Is a very dangerous place; the
race being from eight to ten feet deep
and the road is between the race aud
factory and is only about twenty feet
wide. The supervisors and the coun-
ty commissioners have been repeatedly
urged to put some improvements here,
but they have not done so. Perhaps
damage suit will be cheaper.

The parade started about ll.30 p. m,

that of last year. Everything also had
the additional advantage of looking
new and freshly painted. A slight
rain fell during the progress of the pa
rade.

and pleasing features added, including
the Lightning Drill artists, the Aus

their act in the concert, or afterpart,
much to the disappointment of all the
spectators), Military Maneuvers and
others of more or less Importance.
Only few rehearsals were had with
the entire assembly before the opening
day and consequently many things
went wrong; but the audience kindly
overlooked them. Taking everything
into consideration the show is good

with IL grace and simplicity that would
have reflected credit upon one far more
experienced. The young ladies were
invited for six O'Clock supper, and the
gentlemen were received at eight

superb; everywhere, clusters of stately
palms formed hidden alcoves where
the dancers could retire during the in
. termissions, whilst the subtle fragrance
of countless roses and carnations lent
an added charm to the generally pleas
ing effect. Music, both classical and
popular, was most artstically rendered
by Miss Elizabeth Dennis. whose skill
and talent did ample justice to the
grand piano, which was one of the
many handsome presents received by
the fortunate hostess. AT ten O'clock

which the dancing was renewed. To-
