New York, Aug. 26-The announce
ment of the failure of Hilton, Hughes
& Co. had only a passing effect upon
the markets for securities at the open
ling.
There was a disposition to hammer
the list at that time, but the decline
was only fractional and was soon check
ed by a further reduction in the rates
of sterling, and cable advices from
London that Kuhn, Loeb & Coz and
other banking houses intended to import
additional amounts of gold on the
steamers sailing from the other side
this week The first decline was equal
to 1s07 per cent, but after las most OF
the loss had been recovered. Still later
there was another downward turn, the
extreme apathy shown by the bulls IN
viting another attack. AT the lowest
point, Illinois Steel showed a. decline or
five points; Baltimore q Ohio, ~; Min
nesota Iron, 2; Bay State Gas, 312, and
the general list a to IA. Heaviness Of
Baltimore & Ohio was attributed to the
report that Expert LIttle's statement
of the affairs of the company Will make
a very unfavora.ble showing, but as far
as known nothing new has developed
concerning the property. There was al
most an entire absence OF outside Or
Gers and the movements were sluggish
throughout. Near the close there was a
little more pressure to sell in conse-
quence OF advance in rate of cali loans
to 10 per cent. The market left off dull

THECHOIR'S TRIP.
A Rehearsal to BE Held This Even
ing at Unity Hall.

n
ing at Unity Hall.
The three hundred members of the
tabernacle choir who will go to Denver
will have a rehearsal this evening at
Unity hall, in addition to which sew
eral matters of Importance may be
discussed.
It has been decided to abandon the
proposed Sunday evening concert at
the tabernacle, owing to the objections
of those in control to the use of the
building for such a purpose. In lieu OF
this however, the church authorities
have made a loan to the choir, which
may be paid back just as soon as is
convenient. The idea of asking finan-
cial aid i'll the shape of a popular sub
scription has also been abandoned, and
the members of the choir will have the
satisfaction of again advertising Salt
Lake City in particular. and Utah in
general, at their own expense.
In consideration Of the fact that the
choir will be but one night on the
road. sleepers will not be generally
used. but instead the comfortable
chair car viii be provided. Those
who prefer a sleeper. however, will
doubtless be accommodated.
The special train leaves Salt Lake
on Monday at 10 a. m, over the Union
Pacific, and will reach Salt Lake early
the following Sunday morning over the
Rio Grande Western. 1t is understood
that any who desire to come back over
the Colorado Midland will have d
chance so to do the two trains coming
together again at GlenwoOd Springs.
Quite a number of the friends of thA
singers have signifed their intention
of accompanying the choir. and it will
not be at all surprising if five hundred
Salt Lakers are found in the chief city
Of the Centennial state during the
week beginning Monday next.

AN IMPORTANT MINING DEAL.
susanvilIe Placer Property Pur-
chased by a Seattle Syndicate.

A mining deal of some importance to
northern Grant was contaminated at
Susanville last Saturday afternoon.
wherein a Seattle syndicate became
owners of extensive placer grounds and
water rights near that place The orig
inal owners and parties to the deal
were the Ives brothers and Jack Rich
ardson, and the properties disposed of
consist of three claims, situated at the
mouth of Bear creek. These claims.
though only partially developed, are
fine producers.
The purchasers of the mines are en-
terprising and experienced mining men.
and as an indication of their intentions
have purchased the Lane brothers wa
ter ditch, which they will U.S. in the
operation Of their property next spring.
Initiatory steps are also being taken
toward tapping Camp creek, four or
five miles from their camp, and ditch
ing it to the mines, thus assuring them
sufficient water for all requirements.
With the opening up on such a scale
of few more of northern Grants
placers, old-time life will be instilled
in business enterprises and the pocket
books of the residents will be swelled

dren made il necessary for him TO give
closer. examination of the bodies OF
children than he was allowed to give
by the perents and teachers.
President Smith thought it was get
ting of the track to talk about health
certificates when he subject of discus
sion was really vaccination. He be-
lieyed from what he saw while away
that dependence could be placed in vac
cination and that the children should
all be treated.
DR.. Wood suggested that as vaccina-
ton was not compulsory under the
law. the only way to reach the children
was to keep them out of school unless
they were vaccinafd. There is no way
TO compel adults TO be vaccinated eX-
cept by making a law to that effect,
but he doubted the constitutionality of
such law.
At the request of President Smith
Dr. Wood gave an interesting descrip-
ton of the enforcement of the Act to
Mitigate in Japan, and afterward told
of the manner of cremating bodies in
Japan. President Smith also described
the appliances used in cremating bodies
