Manhattan Was the Banner Stock of the
Day.

Manhattan Was the Banner Stock of the
Day.
New York, Aug. 9.-Speculatlon at
the stock exchange started off quietly
enough and for some time after the
opening there We're but two movements
that attracted attention. General Elec-
trio disappointed it's friends, declining
ia to S6A despite the renewed talk
about arrangements looking to work
ing agreement with it's leading COM
petitors. The weakness of the stock
induced the bears to sell the grang-
ers, but 1t was found uphill work to
press this group, especially as Manhat-
tan and other specialties showed un-
wonted strength.
Manhattan was really the banner
stock Of the day, rising with scarcely
a reaction of Importance from 116 to
119A, with final sales at 119 against
1855 yesterday. No other explanation
for the rise than the covering Of q
large short interest made some time
ago was Forthcoming.
In the remainder of the list there
was a noticeable absence of offerings of
long stocks and the bears were con-
siderably disturbed both ON this &C
count and because of the fact that
the gold engagements for tomorrow
steamers We're comparatively small, and
that the frost news from the west
yesterday failed to materialize. On the
contrary the accounts from the corn
growing regions are most flattering and
it is beginning to be acknowledged
even by bear spectators that an enor-
nous yields is already assured The
effect of this was seen in the stock
market during the afternoon and Mis-
souri, Pacific and the grangers moved

MENYION REY. u o. COLLINS.

The Tribune Speaks of His Address at
Northfield-The Program in Charge of
International Christian Workers.
AT Mr.. Moody's Mortified convention
this week Tuesday, the International
Christian association, which will hold its
annual convention in this city for eight
days beginning November Z, had charge
of the meetings, and Rev. John C. Col
Inns of this city, who is general secre-
tary of the international Christian
Workers association, spoke in the eve
ming.
The New York Tribune's correspon-
dent says in regard to Mr.. Collins and
his work in the organization the follow
ing:
''Mr. Collins has made national rep
utation as an organizer and promoter
of Christian work. He is man of
medium sze wears a full black beard,
and is jealous and energetic. He was
born in western New York in 1850 and
was graduated from Yale in 1875. He
at once took up the work of home
missions in New Haven and has been
active in that work ever since. He
soon came to the conclusion that #
the Christian workers of the country
in various lines could be brought to-
gether, much good would result They
themselves would be strengthened and
| encouraged, while their efforts, being
brought to the attention of others,
would stimulate them to go and do like
wise. In 1886, therefore, Mr.. Collins
and few others like minded with him
| met in Chicago and organized the In
erna tional Christian Workers assocla-
ton. 1t now has 1.400 members, in
GLIDING all the Christian Workers OF
| the United States and Canada, and the
reports of its annual conventions give
| a complete and valuable record of what
may be called applied Christianity. The
association is in fact a clearing house
| of Christian effort and 1t has already
made for itself a permanent place
among the activities of modern Chris
tianity. All this Mr. Collins explained
| in a short address last night"

MOTHERS Care.
Ceaseless Vigilance Dur
ing August Heat.
Cholera Infantum Takes on
a DeadIier Aspect.
Death-Returns Pouring In
at Health Depts.
Fatal Diarrhea Induced by
Improper Infant Diet.
No Touch of Summer Disease
With LaCtated Food.

Eternal vigilance, especially during
the heated season, is the price of baby's
health and very existence.
The fatalities in midsummer among
the infant population are nothing short
Of appalling. The two causes are in
fantile Indigestion combined with de-
bilitating high temperature. Or, in
other words, diet untitled to baby s
needs in summer. The i'll effects of
the intense August heat are far reach
ing. Many little ones droop and pine,
without appetite and strength. Their
usual diet fails to nourish or more often
is wholly rejected. In this weakened
condition the mistake of overlooking,
that anxious parents too often fall into.
instead of nourishing the little ones,
only brings on diarrhoea,
And diarrhoea, with the temperature
high up, results in cholera infantum.
The extraordinary mortality from va
rious forms of infantile indigestion this
summer has led to careful inquiry, and
the best authorities on the subject In
the large cities have freely expressed
their opinions.
Several of the best known physicians
in New Haven were interviewed yes
terday, and the following question
asked
In view of the large death rate this
summer of infants in New Haven, what
do you recommend !?
The general sentiment of the profess
sion was voiced in the following state
ment from one of the most successful
practitioners among children. He said
There is nothing equal to lactate6
food, and its use is fast becoming gen
eral among the profession. We fine
that it is retained on the stomach wher
all other food Is rejected or proves
burdensome and a menace to the child's
health.
For cholera infantum find it mos
valuable, and T generally prescribe its
use at once when called to attend such
cases In almost every case where mo
theirs are unable to nurse their infants
I find that lactated food answers bes
of anything
Many happy mothers in New Haver
have used lactated food successfully
where everything else failed. This foot
has kept their children strong and wei
during the dangerous summer season
and they have recommended it to thei
friends, who have had the same happ,
experience

Hartford Times: According to the Of
fetal returns furnished by the North Ger
man Lloyds Steamship Company, 1856 per-
sons were drowned in the Elbe disaster.
OF the crew, which numbered 1856, IS were
saved; out of 48 saloon passengers four
we're rescued, and only one of the 151
steerage passengers escaped. The testi-
mony of the survivors seems to show that
during the first few minutes after the col
lisiOn occurred the officers of the Elbe
thought there would be time enough in
which to put out all the boats and save
everybody on board. Suddenly, before
even two boats had been successfully
launched, it was discovered that the Elbe
was going straight to the bottom and that
there was no time for anything. 1t was
then that the chief engineer, the purser,
and a number Of the crew managed to get
possession of a boat from which they tried
to exclude every passenger. The engineer
deliberately pulled Mr.. Hoffman's little
boy out of the boat in order to make a
place for himself. The sole female sur
vivor has told of the almost fiendish eff
fort to prevent her from being taken into
the boat. 1t is a savage story. While
the men who were guilty of these brutal
tiles were nominally officers of the ship,
yet it is to be noted that, with the excep-
ton of Third Officer Stollberg, they were
not officers in the line of command. The
purser and his three assistants and the
chief engineer made up five of this prec-
ious party of fifteen. The two pilots, the
English pilot and the German pilot, were
also able to secure preferred places in the
boat, and while it is a wonder that any
passengers succeeded in getting places in
it, it is to the credit of all the higher Off.
GERS of the ship that they did not seek to
save themselves in preference to saving
the other lives that were intrusted to them.
We notice that the French papers are
criticising with great severity the English
officers of the little Scotch tramp steamer
Crathie, who by their gross carelessness
caused the loss of the Elbe, and ther
sneaked away without saving the life o.
/ a single passenger of the ill-fated vessel
They attempted to excuse themselves, but
the effort was lame one. We hope the

ROCKvILLE.

The grand list Of the town of Vernon
shows a total amount Of SO 1884, 452, an
increase Of 1926, $3.50 over last year. This
is the first time the grand list of the town
ever exceeded $3,0OO,O00, although the
actual value of the property in the town
issbelieved to be $12,0O0,000. There are
1914 dwelling houses valued at 81, 1885,
495; mills, stores and factories, value
1875, 100; bank stocks, 1867 1893, and
8046 acres of land valued at $110,393.
The figures show that the board of as
SCISSORS and board of relief have made a
beginning, although small, in increasing
the property assessment of the town. The
recent agitation started by Mayor Henry
in regard to the reassessment of property
in more equal and just manner, and the
growing sentiment in favor of a change il
our tax system, have at last had a slight
effect upon the action of the town officers.
Their action in the matter is highly com
mended, as it is many years since the
towns grand list has shown any particu
lar increase, the town officers apparently
taking about the same figures every year
and If the assessors saw fit to raise the
assessment Of any property, the board Of
relief would generally be willing to lower
the assessment to the old figures.
