MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

New York, July Especial 1.-THE bears
were gladened with kilograms today an
nouncing more rains and some severe ones
in Texas, but the bulls protested that they
were in the wrong places and were mere
showers and did not amount to much any
way. Still, taken in connection with the
very favorable weekly crop report from
Washington the rains served to depress
prices, which opened at the highest and
closed at the lowest of the day. August
opened at 7.19 and closed at 7.12 bid, with
the tone dull. There seemed to be no buy
ing today, except to take profits on shorts.

where everything else fails-is so far
greater to-day than that OF any other
remedy that it has no competitor.
Among the thousands of testimonials
tnat have been received by the proprietors
OF Paine's celery compound this spring
none have been more noteworthy than
those that come from the national capital.
The enthusiastic letters OF Judge Powers
and of Congressman Grout were recently
published in this paper. Above is good
likeness OF one of the ablest members on
the Democratic side of the House, leader
OF acknowledged ability, personal friend
OF the President, man OF great weight
Congressman Elisha L. Meredith of Vir-
ginia. A letter from him, dated February
4, from the House of Representatives, says:
after fair trial l have no hesitation
in saying that l believe Paine's celery
compound all that is claimed for it, and it
gives me pleasure to commend it."
A letter from Congressman Robert Neill
of Arkansas contains the following:
My home is at Batesville Ark. During
the last spring and summer my eldest
daughter, then II years of age, was in
very poor health, suffering from general
debility, nervous prostration and frequent
slight feyers. She had the best medical
attention, but apparently with little bene-
hit. In the latter part of September last,
while still feeble, she began the use of
Palnes celery compound and improved
In health continuously. In three months
she had fully recovered and is still in
perfect health. am bound to think the
remedy is an excellent one and do not
hesitate to recommend it to the suffering"
Lieut. 9. A. McAllister. writing from
Hotel Oxford, Marc 2S, said:
For several years past have been a suf-
ferer from severe attacks of dyspepsia,
caused by TOO close attention to business.
On the advice OF a physician | took sew
eral bottles of Paine's celery compound,
and have been greatly benefited thereby
Since the first of last September / have
gained % pounds, and am now feeling in

WENTOUT UNDER PROTEST
Superintendent Weaver of the
Almshouse Was Deposed
Yesterday.
Edward Reddy, the New Appointee,
Now in Charge of the City
Poorhouse.

The control of the Almshouse changed
hands Yesterday as peaceably and quietly as
though there was to be no bitter legal battle
over the uperintendency, and to all in
tents and purposes Edward Reddy, the
gentleman appointed by the Board of
Health to succeed P. L. Weaver, is in full
possession.
When Mr.. Reddy and his brother, who
also acted as his attorney, arrived at the
Almshouse yesterday morning they were
courteously received by Mr.. Weaver, who
descended the stairs to meet them.
The entire party adjourned to the super
intendent's office, where Mr.. Reddy made
formal demand for the control of the in
stitution, stating that he had been ap-
pointed by tn Board of Health and pre-
senting his commission.
II know that you have been appointed" I"
said Mr.. Weaver, "but deny the legality
of the entire proceeding. and l desire to
reserve all of my legal rights"
Attorney Reddy then took hand in the
conversation and said that as a contest
was inevitable il would be better to have
the matter amicably arranged. His
brother, he said, had no intention of in
terfering with any of Mr.. Weaver's legal
rights.
IL WAS UDeu dgIetu III OIueT 10 pro-
tect Mr.. Weaver in his contest the for
mality of an ejectment should be gone
through.
Accordingly Mr.. Weaver was escorted
out of the building, Mr.. Reddy's hand
resting lightly on his shoulder. This
ceremony having been performed, Mr..
Weaver was invited to return as private
citizen, and all went back to the Office to
talk over the affairs of the institution.
Mr.. Reddy told the employees that he
was the superintendent and instructed
them to obey his orders and no others.
Certain of the books of the Office had
been locked up in the safe of which Mr.
Weaver alone has the key, and it was
agreed that they should remain there
pending decision in the case.
Mr.. Weaver then retired to his cottage
on the grounds where he proposes to re-
main until the matter is settled in court,
while Mr.. Reddy made an inspection OF
the institution to familiarize himself with
the duties of mis- Office.
NO effort viii be made to dislodge Mr..
Weaver until the legal battle is over.
Late last evening word was telephoned
from the Almshouse that Weaver had
abandoned the fight TO the extent of civ
ing up the books. He had had a long and
amicable talk with Captain Reddy, who
desired 10 give Mr.. Weaver and his family
every extension of time required in va
eating his present location.

from 130-Mrs. Browning's place of abode
but he thought she did. He also saw
Flynn pass down the street with a woman.
He did not know who the woman was.
Flynn was with him during the night.
he told witness about his friend being
sick, and having to go for doctor; but
did not say what was the nature of her
ailment.
The prosecution attempted to show by
the witness that Flynn had avoided his
usual baunts for several days after the
discovery of the dead babe, OF whose
paternity he was accused, but Mr.. Tighe
was d disappointment. He testified that
he had met his friend in the usual places
the day following and for several DAYS
after.
The cross-eXamination failed to shake
the witness testimony, and Judge Lowe
discharged the prisoner without hearing
any argument
There is nothing to show any connec-
tion between the defendant and the MUIR
dered enid, remarked the court, 'and l
dismiss the case without comment"
Flynn's acquittal will be source OF
gratlncanon to his many friends here and
In Portland. While in the latter city he
operated extensively in real estate, and
spent 100000 there and in the adjacent
towns
The Oregonian spoke of him as follows
II Flynn should really prove guilty
OF this heinous offense his nature must have
undergone a fearful change since he migrated
from mere TO California. Here he was regarded
as the soul of honor, who would injure no one.
TO say nothing of committing a crime. 1t is
true, when he left this city, he was heavily
burdened with debt, which, though, grew out
OF legitimate business operations in which he
found himself engaged when the financial
avalanche rolled upon the entire Northwest in

THE FROST FIGHTERS.
VisaIia Orchard lists Believe in the Lib
eral Use of Water.

Nisalia Orchard lists Believe in the LID.
eral Use of Water.
The question of how to preserve the
fruit trees from being injured by frosts
has caused much thinking and expert
menting on the part of California orchard
lists of late years. A number of these
living in the vicinity of Visalia, Tulare
County, believe that they have solved the
problem. They tried smoking the or
chards during frosty weather until the
foliage was as smudgy as the roofs OF
factory town, but to no purpose.
ct last these men made an experiment
in the use of water, and during the cold
snap in the middle of last month large
quantities of water were turned from the
canal upon the lands of Thomas q Son, ID.
G. Anderson, the Grant Oak Fruit Com
pany, G. T. Lindsey and S. c. Brown.
The ground was saturated with water on
all these farms. The other orchardists
surrounding used smoke. The results OF
the two experiments NAV be seen at the
State Board of Trade rooms, at 10 Post
street. Side by side are quantities OF sam
pies of deciduous fruits, received yester-
