The Philadelphia brokers who hold the
mortgage are reported to be leniently
disposed, knowing the condition of the
financial market, and the fact that about
one-third of the money necessary to
clear the mortgage has been raised, and
they may decide to allow the trustees
some months further time.
DR.. Mclean yesterday made the fol-
lowing statement III regard to the ru-
mored deal: Negotiations are pending
for some sort of an exchange between
our church and the First Baptist. On
next Sunday morning, in order to test
the acoustic properties Of Simpson Tab
ernacle and its perfection as house Of
worship, our people will meet there ard
hold joint services with the Baptists.
Their choir will conduct the singing and
their pastor will deliver the sermon.
Their Sunday school will be held there
while ours will be transferred tempo
rarily to the Baptist church, at the cor
ner of Sixth and Broadway. The Bap-
tist people do not say whether they will
buy or not, but are desirous of knowing
what they would get If they should have
the opportunity.
'The question of possible sale to the
First Baptist church was agitated by a
member of a committee from the First
Methodist church. who met with us to
devise ways and means for retaining
our property. He spoke to the Baptist
church trustees about it, and as there
had been contemplated change of some
sort they may have been favorably i'm

An Interesting Exhibit

On Monday, the 10Th inst, an interest,"
ing exhibition is scheduled to take place
in this city, being a display of gold-sav-
ing hand-power machines and at the
same time to have a contest to decide
superiority There are many dry wash
ers or the market, and each manufac-
turer claims his machine has no equal in
its line. This contest will in measure
settle the controversy that is now waged
so vigorously.
The exhibition is being arranged by
George H. Parker. whose place of busi-
ness is at Ill East Second street. Prizes
will be offered and material furnished
to make the tests. A vacant lot on Los
Angeles street. between Second and
Third, has been secured for the display,
which will probably continue several
days. The contest will not be confined
to dry washers. Machines for working
wet gravel or dirt will also be given an
opportunity to show their merit.

alton to Aid the Unemployed
The regular weekly meeting of the
Northwest Improvement association was
held last night at the corner of Bellevue
avenue and Montreal street. President
A. c. Summers occupying the chair.
After the regular business had been
disposed of Judge Charles Silent ap-
peared before the meeting as the repre-
sentative of the executive committee
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association, in behalf of the unem-
ployed He urged that the amount of
s1450 at present lying in the city treas
ury, which had been inadvertently placed
there several years ago by the associa
ton; but which properly belonged to
the North Hill street improvement fund.-
be taken out of the treasury and applied
to the grading and sidewalking of the
said street by means of the unemployed,
who would be paid 81 per day for their
services. Judge Silent also suggested
that another fund of $2066, which con-
sisted of money paid by the assessment
district be also used If the former fund
proved insufficient, provided the prop
erty owners relinquished their claim to
their pro rata share of the money, and
that whatever remained over after the
completion of North Hill street be ap-
piled to improving the approaches to
Elysian park through the northwestern
part of the city.
On motion the following committee
was appointed to thoroughly investi-
gate the matter, with power to act:
President A. C. Summers. Secretary j.
M. Davies, A. A. Bailey John l.. Slaugh-
ter, Daniel Innes, Thomas Kelley and

meet today in room of the city hall, at

Report Of the Committee on the Most
Feasible Location

The committee appointed by the Main

a route for boulevard from Los An

in an easterly direction in as near a
straight line as possible to the Mission

to be continued as may be found most
desirable by. the boulevard committee,

rect route. the best grade and the least
expense.

Wheat harvest is at its height The
sandy and light lands are giving an
excellent account of themselves bet-
ter this year than the heaviest clay
lands. Those best informed are of
the opinion that the brilliant pros
poets of a month ago will not be justi-
fed. The yield will be fair not equal
to either the crops of 81 or '95. The
quality as a whole. will not be as
good as last year. But there is moth
ing in the least disconraging in the
outlook. There will he a good, fair
crop and prospects cf a profitable
price, and the farmer will realize bet
ter than for years. .
Oats are heavy. rye good, corn
light, potatoes fair and vegetables ex-
cellent. There will be abundance and
to spare, at prices which will GO a
long way toward relieving farmers as
class from floating Indebtedness.
Ten cents a bushel profit on this
crop will doubtless pay every dollar
due and to become due this fall, other
than time loans at low rates. There
is little inquiry for money and many
borrowers, where mortgages are due
this fall, have notified loan agents
that they are or will be prepared to
pay in full or in part. The outlook
lis encouraging.

CANovAs, the Spanish premier, was
assassinated on Sunday last by an
Italian anarchist. The assigned PROV
ocation was the execution of Barcelona
conspirators some months since.
While it may have a beneficent result
upon the Cuban cause it is not believed
that any such consideration entered
into the motives of the assassin. Can
oyas was an extreme royalist, or con-
servatiye, an able and vigorous states
man, with pronounced views which he
executed with a strong hand. There
are any number of surmises as to the
result upon the home government of
Spain. The republican party is assert
ing itself, but it is believed premier
will be selected whose policy will be
more liberal, ard that the crown will
not suffer.
