! NEW YORK. January 4-The stock
market started off wen this morning
and the traders felt much encouraged
when they found that the upward move
ment inaueuratod on Saturday continued
to make progress. While the advance
except I'm a few instances, was by no
means large, and the volume Of bust
ness was confined TO limited proportions
the fact that there was little or no pres
sure to sell at the higher range caused
good feeling TO prevail The general
run Of stocks moved up 1-S03-i per cent,
but Consolidated Gas rose ., TO 139; Me
tropolitan Traction. IL; Edison Illumi-
Mating. III: Delaware and Hudson, I Is,
and Omaha, I.
The last-named was favorably in
huenced by the growing belief that a
dividend Of per cent will be shortly
declared on the common stock. Reading
advanced only fractiOnaly, on the decis-
ion Of Attorney-General McCormick'
of PENNSYLVANIA, that the charter or the
company could not now be successfully
attacked. and later lost more than the
early Improvement The refusal OF the
the directors Of the Manhattan Company
on the petition of Hendricks, who claims
that unearned dividends had been PAID
did not prevent that stock from declining
a point, and it closed within a traction
Of the lowest of the day.
The market continued as quiet as ever
and closed weak in tone. Net changes

Especially Reported for the Beacon.l
CALIFORNIA, Nd, Jan. 0, 1897. There
was happy gathering of smiling faces
at the residence Of the pastor, i'm VIII
liam and Mary Parish, on the 2sth ulti-
mo, being Holy Innoceut's" Day. to
witness the beautiful decoration of a
Christmas tree prepared by the thought
ful minister and his family rs a token of
remembrance to the little flock of which
they have charge.
Just few days prior to this memora-
BILE event the hearts of these children
were gladdened by the visitation of
Santa Claus, who is ever mindful of the
innocents, and always takes occasion to
make his annual tour over the world on
the eve of the cath of December to her
aid the glad tldings that are in store for
the little ones on the following morn.
To add more sunshine to this joyful
time, the kind shepherd had prepared
something that pleases the youthful heart
above else, an exquisitely Illuminated
Christmas tree.
At O'Clock the children began to as
semble at the hospitable home of the
minister, and soon commenced to real
ize that there was q treat in store for
them. Fifty-fye in number gathered
around the tree with eountenances
wreathcd in smiles, and thirty-two
grown persons also, for what makes in
nocent childhood rejoice makes happy
the hearts of parents. Soon the tree
was lighted up and halo of enchant-
ment reigned supreme. Really it was
pleasure to watch the eager, expectant
faces; the expression was that of child
ish innocence jubilant over feast
Thirty-two prizes were awarded for
faithful attendance at Sunday School
during the past year, and in addition to
this there were one hundred and twenty
bags of candy distributed, each baptized
child of the parish being the recipient of
one.
Refreshments were served to all pres
ent and the entertainment lasted from |
to p. NJ, and am sure not one left
the residence of the pastor that did not
realize and appreciate the kind and un-
stinted hospitality of him and his fami-
ly. AS all pleasures have their draw
backs, this was in no wise an exception.
The happy thrcng reluctantly dispersed,
bidding all a smiling adieu.

The Races at wise's Store.

The regular old sports of our section
assembled in large numbers at Wises
store, Medley's Neck, on Saturday last
to see the crack race between two mares
belonging to Wilson Bond and Theo
dorc Latham's. Many the contests they
had had already, but this race was after
thorough training and would be the true
test of their speed. On time. the horses
were brought out on the track, blanketed.
Latham's mare being handled by that
veteran trainer Henry Swailes, who
gave us far off memories of Nellie War
rem and Nellie Walker, and Bonds mare
was handled by himself, who is an adept
in such matters. The track was a straight
one and was about 500 yards. They are
of and here they come ! under the whip
for every jump. Bonds mare won by
about length and pandemonium reigned
