RECTOR RANDALLs ADDRESS.
Given at Dedication of Church in Mon- tana.

Given at Dedication of Church in Mon- tana.
 The Virginia City, Montana, Madiso- mia prints an interesting account of the dedication of Christ Episcopal church, in Sheridan the other day. Concern ing the address of Rector A. T. Randall of St. Andrews church, Meriden, Conn.,, who is spending three months doing missionary work out there, the article says:
 "The address by Rev. A. T. Randall was one that should be heard to be ap- preciated It was. great, in that it touched the hearts of his hearers, and gave an impulse to better things. He first dwelt with appropriate tenderness upon the hal1owed. memories that clus- ter around events, not only of church and national importance, but also of the quiet home life hidden from the public gaze His text was from Joshua iv, 6, where the Israelites were com manded to place stones, as a memorial of their passing through the river Jor- dan. He cited instances, throughout the worlds history of the building of lasting monuments, that unborn gene rations might know of the deeds of their fathers, and lastly, he dwelt upon the loving associations that cluster around the church life, from baptism, confirmation and marriage, to the fun eral rites that close our earthly exist ence"

Prices on Stocks Generally Lower and
 Weak.

Weak.
 New York, Aug. 12.-Lower London prices, with considerable selling by for eign houses, were the only unfavorable factors in the situation on the local stock market this morning, and in con- sequence the opening, at prices general ly from E to 1 per cent below last nights closing figures, was followed by slow recovery in the majority of the active shares. The reaction was per- fectly natural as the desire to realize such profits as had accumulated on the rise of Monday and yesterday was stimulated by the slight declined in 'Americans'' on the London market.
 This confirms what was said yester- day to the effect that the market still lacks any considerable buying for in- vestment account, the movement since the extreme decline marking the feel ing which for the moment controls the trading element in Wall street. The general situation was favorable to-day, in spite of the London selling, since this was rightly interpreted. as having been caused mainly by traders realiza- tiCns. Such movements act as a safety valve for the market, avoiding the dan gers which continued heavy speculative purchases of securities would entail. Noteworthy was a further decline in the rates for Hong" sterling to 4.S7, the rate for sight bills remaining at yester- days figures, $4.SS1s.
 A somewhat insignificant fact in the news developments of the past few days has been the continued decline ill the London price of silver. The local Frice has also declined, but the certificates listed on the local market are less re- liable guides, because more susceptible to speculative influence.
 The London quotation to-day vas 311sd., after 8 steady decline from high figures reached about the middle of July. The chief cause is stated to be a commercial one, due to @ decrease in the demand for East Indian shipments, but a secondary cause no doubt is the disposal of certain options which had been purchased with speculative intent on reports of the possibility of the sue cess of the repudiation candidate at the November elections. That these op- tions have been thrown over is a straw which may show the trend of invest ment opinion. ss., s-sg

JUST EIGHTY-FIvE COTTAGES.
The Number So Far Erected at Cres-
 cent Beach.

Figures are often quoted as to the number of cottages now built at Cres- cent Beach and in nearly every in stance these have varied, running all the way from 100 to 200. Lately, in a conversation with Albert Manwaring, the veteran stage driver who was till ing the soil in sight of the depot while canvas yet remained the, only shelter for the outer barbarians there and the aborigines held the title of the land, the question was asked as to how many cottages are now there as one covers the ground from Black Point road to the White Beach house and he answer ed "Just eighty-five. Not one more nor one less, for counted them up only the other day" This, coming from so reliable source ought to settle the question.

SEVERE DEFEAT FOR REBELS.
Gomez and His Band Turned Back
by Spaniards.

HAVANA, Feb. 20.-Gen. Aldacoa reports
that he has been engaged with force Of in
surgents under Gomez, at the Mora planta-
treat Of the insurgents, who suffered some
loss, not enumerated In the report. This
body OF insurgents, 1t appears. was later met
by Gen. Linares at Zenea. where 1t is as
serted Gomez and Maceo had arranged to
unite their forces. When this information
was obtained. Gen. Linares sent mounted
MESSENGER to Gen Aldecoa. in order that the
emergency. The Linares column then took
up the best position under the circumstances,
and the Spanish artillery from neighboring
high ground opened fire upon the insurgents
that Gen. Aldecoa puzzled forward and met
the insurgents under Gomez some time after
they had retrested before the Linares column.
THIS last engagement is described as having
once more retreated. and finally made stand
at San Marcos. where their main body is be-
l!eved to have occupied strong positions. The
within about fifty yards of the insurgent
lines, the enemy charged with machetes.
The Spanish cavalry had in the meantime
been dismounted, and pushed forward as
skirmishers. keeping up a warm fire on the
insurgents position. Zen the insurgents
charged the skirmls we're called in and
formed a square around their horses. The
movement was admirably executed. and with
two sides Of the square firing, the enemy
beat hasty retreat, leaving many killed and
Wounded on the field. 1t is reported that
Gomez was among the wounded, but the re-
port has not been officially confirmed. The
retreat of the insurgents was the signal for
the cavalry to remount and push forward.
The Insurgents by this time had abandoned
their positions, and dividing up into small
parties, began retreating in all directions.
They were followed until nightfall by the
Spanish cavalry, who killed many more of
them, ana made a number of prisoners. Col.
Seguera is continuing the pursuit of the in
surgents.
