Street Operators Took Cheerful View of
 stIe Situation,

New York, Feb. 4.-Wall street oper- ators took a more cheerful view of the situation than for some tine The news from reliable sources that the govern ment loan will be largely oversubscrib- ed and that, too at prices considerably above those named by the Morgan sym dieate imparted greater confidence in financial circles and led to free buying of securities. In addition tosthis, there was the highly encouraging report of the St. Paul road for the fourth week of January, showing an increase in earn ings of $16S,000 as compared with 1895. The Rock Island statement with it's gain of nearly $5S000 for the month of January was also better than expected.
 As exchange continued to rule at about the low rates current yesterday and the indictions being that consid- erable gold will be imported to pay for foreign subscriptions to the government loan the bulls had pretty much every thing their own way. That the market has great inherent strength was plainly attested by the way in which 1t took the break of nearly four points in Mis- souri Pacific. This stock fell from 241a to 20% on runlors that receiver was about to be applied for and that Rus sell Sage and George Gould were at variance These stories were promptly denied in most emphatic terms by the operators named and the stock rallied to 23$. While it was on the down grade the general list held remarkably firm, only fractional declines having been recorded outside of General Elec- tric, which ran off IS per cent.
 At the afternoon session speculation developed stilr greater. strength and sharp advances were recorded right through the list. There was brisk de- mand from the shorts and a livelier ir- quiry for the long account. The im- provement was equal to A@31s per cent. United States Leather preferred rose BIS, Sugar 21s, St. Paul, Rock Island and Consolidated Gas 2 each, Northwest, Burlington and Quincy and Delaware and Hudson IFS each, Louis- vile and Nashville and Jersey Central 1% each, Southern Railway preferred IF and Tennessee Coal and Iron 1B per cent.

FAIR HAVEN.
Earnest Appeal to the Christian Workers
 in Fair Haven by Mir. Biederwolf

fAPptfi io NhfiSlluH
 in Fair Haven by Mir. Biederwolf.
 The first evening service of the Mills meetings in Fair Haven was held in the Grand avenue Congregational ute service of song, led by MT. Hillis and g. choir of fifty voices, Mir. Bieder- wolf read the eleventh chapter of Johns gospel. The opening prayer was by Rev. N. C.. Cheney, pastor Of the East Pearl street M. F. church. Mir. Hills sang Where He Leads Me" in his usual effective manner. MT. Biederwolf took for his text a part of the twenty fifth verse of the eleventh chapter of John: Though He were dead, yet shall He live" He drew three truths from the story of the raising of Lazarus. In the first place it was a season of great con- cern for Mary ahd Martha when they sent for Jesus. This should be time of great concern for us. There are Lazarus to be raised and friends to be brought to Jesus all around us. DO the people of Fair Haven want a great re- vival, then pray that there may be a spiritual awakening and baptism of concern for our loved ones.
 The second truth is connected with the coming of Jesus Christ Himself. No doubt the two sisters were grieved at the delay of the Saviour in coming to them, and yet His coming at late hour wrought hope "The Master is come and calleth for thee" Jesus Christ is just at present in your midst tonight, as He was in Bethany of old. MT Biederwolf urged the people of Fair Haven to believe that their friends were to b saved. "Only believe and thou shalt see the glory of God" The bless ings received in these meetings will be measured by what you are willing to believe that God will da. When the Saviour came to the sisters no sacrifice would have been too great, no toll too hard to undertake if only Christ would restore their brother. MT. Biederwolf here made an earnest appeal for the setting aside of all that would conflict with the meeting and for a spirit of toll and sacrifice on the part of the people.
 The meeting was we'll attended con- sidering the bad weather most of the seats being occupied. The meeting this afternoon also the one this evening will be addressed by MT. Biederwolf.

PARSONS MUST ANS YER

For tl,e Killing of Irving J. Buckley-The
 Hearing Before Justice HotchlSiss Held in
 the Congregational ChurcIi-Attended by
 Large Crowd.
 Prospect, Feb. 4.-Edwin A. Parsons, who shot and killed Irving J. Buckley of this place, was bound over to the su- perior court in Waterbury on a charge of murder in the first degree late this afternoon. The day of his trial was set for February IS next. A son of Par sons fainted away when he heard the decision of Justice Hotchkiss. The hearing was held in the basement of the Congregational church and the room was filled with anxious and interested spectators during the entire two hours occupied by the hearing. The doors opening into the adjoining room were thrown open to accommodate many of the people who were unable to gain entrance into the main room. It seem- ed as though the whole village of Pros pect had turned out to attend the hear ing in a body. Three witnesses were placed on the stand to make state ment of the states case. These were Dr. Graves of Waterbury, John Stokes and Sheriff Sweeney of Naugatuck. The evidence introduced showed that Parsons was on his way home the night before the murder occurred, and was passing a pond where several boys were skating. The boys saw him coming and called out Hello, Parsons" and Parsons responding by asking them how was the skating. He started his horse again when young Buckley cried out to him to stop for a minute, and the lat ter moved towards the, road. Buckley asked Parsons why he had told about the town that Buckley's father had been stealing chickens, to which Par sons replied he had said no such thing, and during a discussion which followed drew a revolver and shot Buckley in the hip.
 Parsons received the finding of Jus tice Hotchkiss with remarkable cool ness, and he maintained that appear ance throughout the whole hearing. His wife and a daughter, Sadie, of New Haven, were present, and all were af- fected, especially when Parsons was bound over. The latter embraced his wife and members of his family a long time before leaving the basement in company with Sheriff Sweeney. His lawyers were H. c. Baldwin and Will liam Kennedy, and they introduced a long argument in their clients defense. The states side of the case was in charge of John M. Sweeney, who was engaged by the borough to prosecute for murder. Parsons will remain in the lookup at Naugatuck over night, and will be taken to the county jail at New Haven tomorrow to await his trial Justice Hotchkiss, who presided at the hearing, is the juror who gained for himself the title of '3The Lone Juror," in the famous Stannard murder trial some years ago. The remains of young Buckley were buried yesterday.
 Prospect is thoroughly excited over the hearing tonight, and it Is the sub- ject of all conversation in every part of the town

like @ man with money and the gout. These practice marches are much in- dulged in nowadays by the regular troops, according to Harper's Weekly Two companies of the Twenty-third in- fantry, under Captain Lea Febiger, marched from ForIu Clark to the East Nuces river, in Texas, last October. Their orders were for the officers and mem to carry the usual field equipment -heavy marching order excepting knapsacks. Three days rations were carried by the men in haversacks, while the blanket rolls contained change of underclothing and shelter tent. 1.-The command not having transportation of any kind on the march, should it be- come necessary to communicate with the post for any purpose whatever, may do so by bicycles, the use of which on the march by enlisted men owning them
 is hereby authorized" say the orders. The report of Captain Feblger says: "Each officer and man carried three days field rations, the fresh vegetable portion being optional, which in all eases was greatly reduced, and even more so on the second day out; haversack, cam teen and blanket roll, the. last consist ing of. one shelter half (new pattern) and pins, one blanket, change of under clothing, blouse (marched in flannel shirts, one pair of socks, towel, soap, etc., and the additional rations that the havenack would not hold (about one day's) and their respective arms and belts. The total weight of the pack averaged about forty pounds, when not wet, divided as follows: Haversack, packed, six pounds; canteen, filled, and cup, four pounds; cartridge belt and ten rounds, one and one-quarter pounds; rifle, nine and one-third pounds; blan- ket roll, nineteen pounds. All officers and me1 did their own cooking in meat ration can and cup.
 "FNour privates and one musician, with Corporal John Reeves in charge, constituted the bicycle corps, carrying their haversacl5s and blanket rolls on the handle bars and rifles strapped to the frame. They constituted daily on the march the advance guard, and were ready for use as messengers and collr- iers. Two of the machines, being second hand, very old and worn, gave out on the march; the other four came success fully through, though not of the most expensive pattern" So much for bi- cycles.
 "There were numerous complaints of the government shoe, and they wore much worse than those purchased out side. The new shelter tent with the elongated rear end was very satisfacto- ry, except that it is far from rain proof in anything like a heavy shower" In deed, no tent is proof, for that matter.
 ''The haversacl1s were rendered conn pletely unfit for garrison inspection purposes, on account of the grease from the bacon carried in them" and in con- clusion the captain says that "both off, cers and men appreciated and have been benefited by the experience"

south African Lions.


 South African lions are, beyond ques- ton, the boldest of all predatory ami mals, and those of Mashonaland are perhaps the boldest ofsalL During the night, their natural hunting time, they attack draught animals, or even men, within a few yards of the camp fires, and are constant and serious danger to travellers i'm districts remote from the main tracks ofttradens From the Zambesi, through Mashonaland, and north to the Limpopo, a chorus of conn pIaints rises in the pages of recent trav- ellers, whose cattle or followers have suffered from their attacks. MT. Selous has recorded the pursuit of the post from Salisbury by lion, and the loss of the mail-bags, which the animal tore from the back of the pack horse.

He was awakened by the Hons roar, and almost immediately saw one of the tethered donkeys knocked over. It was not five yards from the fire, but in the darkness and dazzle of the fire he could not see the attacker. "We knew instinctively that a lion had killed the donkey, and was standing over him not five yards from where we were, but it was hopeless to fire unless We saw something, or at least could make certain of his whereabouts.
