The market was broad and strong yes
terday, after somewhat weak opening,
the realizing sales of Thursday were
continued for a time and they succeeded
in forcing prices down a little at the be-
ginning of the day. When the evening
up of accounts had taken place, however
il became apparent how wide is the buy
ing demand. There had been hundreds
of thousands of shares sold and yet with
hardly point decline in prices AS soon
as the selling was over there began a
buying demand, equal to that of Wednes-
day, when nearly million shares were
purchased. The fact is particularly no.
ticeable that nearly the entire market
is feeling the effect of the impetuous
bullishness. No particular shares or
classes of stocks are reaping the benefit
The New York exchange will not be
open today, the directors having agreed
yesterday to close on account of the
naval parade. The two days close had
its effect yesterday afternoon, though
it does not seem that prices were much
changed on account of it. The people
who were conservative and wished to get
out of the market over Sunday for fear
OF decline were not much more potent
II any than those who believed there
the holiday. The street is confident on
the whole and disposed to believe prices
will go higher next week, which seems
to be the logical view
The earnings of the Southern Railway
for the second week of August increased
$4,000 The Southern has increased the
wages of the employees of the road to the
point at which they were last cut. an
advance Of about 5 per cent The general
opinion of the street is that the return
ing and Strengthening prosperity of the
South will be a fine argument for the
road. Unless there is a yellow fever
scare the business of the Southern will,
it is believed, increase materially.
The gross earnings of Louisville and
Nashville for the second week of August
decreased $4,000. The decrease from July
l was the same amount, or, rather it
should be stated that the roads earnings
did not decrease until last week. Louis
vile is another of the roads that has
much to fear from the scare of yellow
fever.
The New York News said yesterday of
the troubles of Peoples Gas:
During the conference between Mr..
Benedict and former Gov. Flower yester-
day relative to the trouble between the
Peoples Gas Company and the Indiana
Natural Gas Company, Mr. Benedict, it
is understood. made certain demands on
the Peoples Company which he insisted
he had right to make under the con-
tract between the two companies. These
demands were refused by the People $
Company and the counsel for the Indiana
Company has now been instructed to take
legal steps to enforce the alleged rights
of the company against the Peoples Com
pany. These instructions were given this
morning. Gov. Flower says the company
will go on earning and paying its 6 pei
cent dividends, but even he does not hest.

For silo l3 feet in diameter the
outside of the slaves being six inches
wide, the inside of the slaves should be
one-seventh of an Inch narrower 1t is
not necessary to pay any attention to
beveliDg the slaves, and indeed ques-
ton whether it is not better not to bev-
ell. If the slaves are set up without bev-
cling, the point Of contact will be the
inside edge and perfectly tight joint
will be secured at that point. With the
tub silo it seems that the simpler we
can make it the better While some
have had the slaves tongued and groov-
ed and others have had them beveled
just as good results are secured where
the slaves are simply set up with no
treatment whatever, but are used as the

empty, as in the case Of a dead bee,
you may not notice the yellow bands.
These bands are not uniform in APP
pearance. The front part of each of the
three bands, as at A, B and G. is dis
tinct yellow, the other part, as at K,
less so, because this part is covered with
a kind of hair or feathers. These hairs

The actual chemical result of the eS-
plosion Of charge of gunpowder cannot
be told with accuracy.
The general idea of what happens is
that when the temperature of the ignit-
ing agent reaches 4S2 degrees F. the
sulphur bursts into flame; the saltpeter,
acted upon by the heat, frees the oxygen
with which it is highly charged, and,
combining with the charcoal, forms car.
bonic acid and oxide, while the nitrogen
is liberated.
The products of combustion are ap-
proximately 81 per cent Of solid matter
and 43 per cent of permanent gases -

FATHER CARROLL'S RETURN
His Pensioners Expect Him
Home Either Today Or
Tomorrow.

The regular monthly meeting of ST.
Patrick's Catholic Club was held last
evening, but owing to the absence of the
president, Father Carroll. no new business
was brought up. The usual reports were
read by the secretary and teasurer. The
plan to hold a picnic on July A, in Bran
han Park was brought up for discussion,
but the members decided that 1t would be
better to wait until Father Carroll arrived
home and get his idea on the subject.
Father Carroll is expected home either
this evening or tomorrow morning, from
Germany. where he has been for some
two months past in search Of health. He
will arrive on the new North German
Lloyd steamer Kaiser Friedrich, which
is making its maiden voyage. There will
be no demonstration on Father CAROLS
return, as he wishes his home coming
made as quiet as possible. Father Talon,
who has been in charge during Father
CAROLS absence, will have a coach in
waiting at the dock when the steamer ar
rIves.
Father Carroll said in his last letter to
his assistant that his health had been
greatly built up since his absence and
that he would probably return home in
good condition. The voyage to Germany
was a painful one for the worthy rector,
and he suffered greatly. 1t is hoped that
the homeward trip will be more pleasant.
Owing to the enforced departure OF
Father Carroll, the work on the proposed
new parish school and hall which is to
be built in Bramhall Park, has been
greatly DELAYED. He was in hopes that by
this time the new structure would be in
the course of construction. However, i'm
mediately on his return, the work will be
started. and when the building is com
pleted it will be like St. Patrick's mag
nifcent church, second to none in the
State.

THREE BILLS SIGNED.
Two Of Them Had Been Signed Be-
fore. and How it Occurred.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON. Tune IA, 1S9s.-Governor
Voorhees, yesterday signed House bills
Nos. 70 and 122 and Senate bill No. II.
The bin No. 122 is corrected Squire Troll
ley bill, and Senate No. u is a corrected
Paterson and Atlantic City paving bill.
Some weeks ago the Governor signed
what he supposed to be two measures,
but it was discovered hat errors had
crept in in the engrossing department.
In the Union county trolley bill. which
authorizes the Freeholders of M county
in the State to sell trolley franchises on
public roads at public auction, al amend
ment was omitted. This amendment pro-
vided that before such a sale should take
place the consent of a majority of prop
erty owners along the proposed trolley
road should be obtained. The paving bill
was originally introduced in the interest
of Paterson alone, and was afterwards
amended so as to apply to Atlantic City.
This amendment was also misplaced. and
the bill in its original shape given to the
Governor for his signature. Both bills
have since been correctly engrossed, and
were accordingly signed.
House bill No u amends the Town
