HERE'S A CHANCE TO FIGURE
MONEY MARKET AN INTERESTING THEME
Some of the New York Banks Below the Re- serve Requirements Contraction
 in loans

New York, Oct. 12.-The weekly state ment of the associated banks shows the following changes:
 Reserve, decrease. ase................$2,294 $2, ,294, ,625 Loans, decrease. e.................. 3,596, 200 specie, decrease e................. 76,000 Legal tenders, decrease. 3,870, 700 Deposits, decrease. ........... 6,608, 300 Circulation increase. ...... 53700
 The banks now hold $14,176, 300 in excess of legal requirements.
 The New York Financier says this week:
 There is no cessation to the movement which is drawing down the reserve held by the New York clearing house banks the statement issued Saturday, October 12 showing a still further decrease of $2.294625 in this item. The total excess reserve now stands at $14, 76,900, of which a limited number of banks show the greater part. The currency contrac- tion may be checked within a few weeks. Some of the New York banks are below the reserve requirements and the usual results have followed, in the closing of loans, the decrease in the loan item for the week being $3.596. 200.
 The total loans as shown by the cur rent statement are $506.606,000, which is fully $16000.0 900 less than reported Sep tenlber IA only thirty days ago.
 The banks lost in cash last week s. 572, 200, of which principally the entire amount was in lesals. If this drain is maintained for any length of time there must inevitably occur further calling in of loans and a further shrnkage of that item.
 The deposits of banks now aggregate S533, ,491, 200, the decrease for the past week having been $6.60S. 300. This is a loss of not less than $41 900 since the 1st of September, but is $57,00O,00O less than during the corresponding week last year. The future. course for the' money market in view of the changes which have occurred lately remains an inter esting problem. A number of banks must be regarded out of the market, as they are fully loaned up, and the narrow mar gin of reserve is controlled by few of the larger institutions.
 There was a sharp advance in rates during the earlier part of the week, but it was more important as test than anything else, since the quotations brought out large offerings from the trust companies and other institutions, under which the market declined to its old figures. It would seem therefore that the money market cannot be artficially manipulated, and the marked advance must spring from legitimate causes.

CHICAGO COMMITTEE SENDS AN ADDREs

Washington, Oct. 12.-It was learned from an authoritative source today that none of the Central American govern ments will take the initiative in recogniz- ing the belligerency of the insurgent revolutionists in Cuba. The press of those countries, so far as can be judged from this point, is unanimous in it's sym pathy with the Cubans The fear is ex- pressed. however, that the recognition of the revolutionists by Venezuela, Nica- ragua. Brazil, Guatemela or even Mexico would be followed by the dispatch of several Spanish men-of-war to their principal ports, demanding both explana- tion and satisfaction.
 - AS Spain has a navy about equal to that of the United States she would have under these circumstances sufficient number of vessels for this purpose at half dozen points on the American continent As none of the countries on the western hemisphere, excepting the United States and Chill, possess a navy worthy of the name, no recognition of Cuban rights will be made by them for fear of conse- auences. It is said today that as soon as the United States or Great Britain or some continental power moves in the matter their action will be speedily fol- lowed by all the Spanish-American re- publics on this continent

A SAD DROWNING.
DR.. Robert L. Yaught. of Chatta-
nOOga Drowned
While in Bathing, Wednesday Evening,
at the Mouth Of Five Mile, on
the Great KanaWha.

When the news reached here last
evening that DIR. Robert L. Vaught,
OF Chattanooga, Tenn, had been
drowned in the Kanawha river at
the mouth of Five Mile Creek, it
spread rapidly, and soon the town
was all excitement and everybody
was running around anxiously seek
ing information, and hoping that
the report would prove untrue.
1t seems that DIR. Vaught, who
was up here to spend the summer
with his mother, who resides on
Five Mile, concluded to go in bath
ing at the mouth of the creek yes
terday evening, about 5 o'clock, and
was accompanied by Boyce Ster-
rett, young lad. He and the boy
disrobed on the bank and won't into
the water, aud getting out in the
stream the Doctor remarked to the
boy that he felt tired and weak,
and believed he was going down.
The boy took hold OF him, thinking
he was only fooling, but soon found
that matters were becoming serious,
and made frantic efforts to rescue
him, but in his struggles the cur
rent carried them out into deeper
water, and he was thrown off his
feet, and DR. Vaught sank to rise no
more in life. The lad called loudly
for help, but none came, and he
held onto him until he himself be-
came exhausted, and with difficulty
made the shore. His body was re-
covered in about an hour after
the drowning, a few yards from
where he sank.
DIR. Yaught was in the 33rd year
of his age, and was a son of the late
Rev S. X. Vaught, and was a young
man of exemplary habits, and
beloved by everybody who knew
him.
He chose medicine as his profess
sion, and several years ago located
in Chattanooga, Tenn, where he
was classed among the leading
physicians of that city, and whore
he had good and paying practice.
He made it rule to visit his
mother on the Kanawha, every
summer, and was here at the time
of his drowning, taking his vaca-
ton. The Doctor was unmarried.
The funeral will take place from
his mothers residence tomorrow
afternoon at , o'clock Interment

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Young Men Burned to Death in the
Oil Field.

Two Young Men Burned TO Death i'm the
oil Field.
The Sistersville Oil Review, of
Monday, contains the following
account of an awful accident:
cat the a Stewart we'll on the
Dye farm on the Ohio side of the
river, opposite Raven Rock, this
State, William Beegle, aged 18
years, and William MacMahon, aged
20 years, were so badly burned last
night while attempting to extin-
guish burning oil that both have
since died. MacMahon expiring
shortly after the accident, whilo
Beegle endured awful torture until
this morning when death releaved
his sufforings.
"The well had been drilled in
and was a 2O-barrel day producer.
1t is very good theory that the
boys went to the well and ignited
the gas, causing the oil to squirt
from inc casing ana take hre.
MacMahan had put forth the great
est efforts to subdue the flames and
he was terribly burned by the fire
coming in contact with his body
and head 1t was only a short time
until his injuries proved fatal.
"Beegle, at first, was supposed to
be only slightly burned, but later
developments indicated that he
could not recover and he died this
morning as stated. He is son of
Wilson Beegle, farmer in the
vicinity of Raven Rock.
"The rig, together with all the
combustibIe material of the well,
was totally destroyed"

Rnrrfng ami Panners.

Uncle Sam has many broad, un-
inhabited acres, but he, neverthe-
less, streuuously and righteously
objects to pauper immigration, on
the general principle that he has
more than enough paupers of his
own to maintain. AS a rule the
paupers who would flock to our
shores if we would let them in are
ignorant, impossible of education,
and without the faintest idea of our
mode of government or our social
usages.
But the United States is not the
only nation which objects to being
overrun by semi-civilized waits.
Even England, already overcrowded
by her dense population, is suffer
ing an inundation of them, and the
new Tory government is accord
ingly taking steps to restrict the
influx. During the seven months
ended with July last no fewer than
22,373 pauper aliens entered Great
Britain to find new homes there,
exclusive of 23,3f2 who passed
through Britain on their way here.
The Tory governments have always
been opposed to this class of immi-
grafton, although the liberal govern
ments have been Indifferent to the
matter.
Now that the two greatest lands
of freedom on the earth are closing
their doors to this class of immi-
grants, it is suggested that possibly
the governments of the countries
to which they belong will see the
necessity of providing for them at
home.-Register.

A Ceredo citizen Will Sue the Ohio
River RailrOad Company.
Mr.. Ben F. Wilson, of Ceredo, was
in the city this morning consulting
attorneys in regard to brirging suit
in a peculiar case.
Last Saturday night Mr.. Wilson
was a. the Ohio River depot here
and boarded the Ohio River train
for his homein Ceredo. When Con-
ductor Hanna called for his fare,
Mr.. Wilson handed him 20 cents, the
usual rate. The conductor demand
ed 10 cents extra as Wilson had no
ticket. Mr.. Wilson informed him
that there was no agent in the ticket
office at the time and that it was
impossible for him to purchase a
ticket.
The conductor then informed him
that unless he paid the extra he
would have to debark from the
train. Mr.. Wilson would not pay
the 10 cents thereupon the train was
stopped u the western suburbs, and
he was elected. He was compelled
to remain here over night, and will
now bring suit against the Com
pany for damages.-Huntington

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF
LIVER MEDICINES ?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. 1t
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.

on the trestlo at Willow Grove.
His body was literally torn to
pieces. He had just checked up
the Agent at Ripley Landing and
had started to walk to Willow
Grove, and in doing so had to cross
this trestle. He seems to have fallen
through the trestlc and was unable
to extricate himself, and in this posi-
ton was hit by the engine. At
this point the road makes
sharp curve and he was not
seen until it was too late to
stop the train. The Engine was
in charge of Charles Miller.
Mr.. Yates will be remembered by

Our readers are already aware
that a scheme for the further i'm
provement of the Ohio River is be-
ing evolved, which is likely to
amount to a great deal in furnish
ing better navigation all along the
river. The big meeting which is to
be held in Cincinnati on the 8th of
October, promises to be an import
ant occasion. Representatives. from
all the towns and cities of import
ance along the river are invited and
urged to be present. Our people
should soon assemble and appoint
delegates. This will be a matter re-
quiring deliberate action, as no
town along the Ohio is more deeply
interested in this work, than Point
Pleasant. Ifpossible, practical river
men should be represented at the
meeting, as well as the class ofmen
most interested in the commercial
interests of the city.
