Excitement in MudvIiIe.

From che Baltimore American.
Such excitement in old Mudyi.le-gosh!
you never saw the like!
Most ev'ryone paradin' in regular Sun
day dixie.
The cause Of it was Dewey-a report said
how as he
Was goin' through on Number Nine Ear
rives, five fifty-threeD
We didn't stop to question ner investigate
this news,
Cause no one care to spoil a chance to
yell some an enthuse.
The village got excited-gosh all hemlock!
an gee whiz.
The patriotism in us you could hear u
boil an sizz!
We all allowed we'd gather when ola
Number Nine came in,
An the way that we would boiler 1t would
shore.y be a SIM
1t was Dewey he's a-comin'!' an twas
"Dewey's gon' through
II was Cit your throat in order, an just
holler till you're blue!'
Jed Perkins grabbed his musket- turnin'
loose the dIngdest shouts!
Them as noticed Perkins action got away
they had their doubts
AS TO how that pesky musket ii would
carry on when Jed
He would go an press the boton-some
considered him as dead.
But Jed he kept a yellin', When l hear
Mines whistle toot
l will pound the bloomin' welkin with
real fuss-class salute!"
Dad" smottle got us laughin' til our
sides they shorely hurt!
He had no flag ner nuthin' so he took his
undershirt-
The red one-an he fastened paper stars
across the breast,
With a whitewash brush he striped it, an
a bean pole done the rest.
There is was a-wavin' grandly in the
breeze, an Dad" that proud
That he wouldn't bow in answer to the
cheerin' of the crowd.
like Dawkins got excited when he heerd
the news, an he
Rushed home to Mrs. Dawkins, yellin' like
q wild Feegee!
Mrs Dawkins thought her husban' had a
cappuetic fit,
SO she started fer the doctor, jus like
what she had been bit
BY RATHER an her screamin'-oh! you
never heerd the like!
There she was, a-flyn'. follered close be-
hind by yellin' Tike.
Doctor Crowbait saw 'em comn'-scaredl
wal now, ] calculate,
He jus grabbed his hat and scooted at a
mighty lively gait.
Mrs. Dawkns chased the doctor, and like
Dawkins chased his wife
Mudville never saw such sprintin' in the
hull Of ell its life.
Toff Dewitt, the town policeman, rushed
an sadded up his nag,
Wonderin if it was a lynchin' or a simple
game Of tag.
Final, Doctor Crowbait stumbled on a
stone an tainted white.
An a barb wire Tense it captured Tike
an held his trousers tight.
like he on'y yelled the louder, scared the
life from Mrs. D.,
TIL the crowd at last 1t tumbled an ex-
planned the mystery.
Then they tended 10 the doctor, an they
helped him TO his breath
Jus by givin him some water, which he
hated worse'n death.
BY an by we got the tidins that the
story wasn't true,
Dewey was still in Maniller, so he wasn't
comm through,
! Wall, we jus stood there. the picter of
dispair, tn Bin Duff said,
This excitement wasn't wasted; Dewey g
far from bein' dead
Likely some time in the future he'll go
through on Number Niner
An you ought TO heerd the cheern' that
went up an down the line!
! So we've wrote a invitation which the
same is this, to wit:
! Midwife, May the 9th.-Dear Dewey,

favorable outlook. The demand for Flour is
fairly good, with steady tone TO values. The
market is about bare of Corn, ana the recent
advance fully maintained. Oats strong with a
good inquiry. Pork HIS been again marked up.
but other Provisions are unchanged. Groceries
steady. Coffees sustail n strong tone The dry
fish trade is brisk, market well supplied with
all kinds, except light sailed pollock, which are
exceedingly scarce and wanted. and quoted 25c

New York, Tuesday. October TO-
Stocks. The London market continues to
tie fairly cheerful. Consols showed a
upward tendency. In short there seems
to be an impression In London that the
effect of an outbreak OF war between
Great Britain and the Transvaal has been
fairly we'll discounted and that II there
should be no war such a rise would take
place in prices as would put tina bears in
a most awkward predicainent; although
our market opened steady 1t quickly de-
veloped dropping tendency on what YVES
thought to be liquidation by the buyers
of last week. southern Paoifio was sold
down but the traders thought that the
Issue of the new stock will be followed
by decline. Further, 1t was argued that
the present borrowing demand for the
stock is only due to the possibility OF
arbitragelng between Southern Pacific
and Central Pacific and that when the
new securities are issued, houses which
are lending large blocks Of the stock viii
have their stock returned resulting posi-
bly, in some forced selling on the part Of
sCme of the smaller houses On th,
whole, people who are In close touch with
the affairs of the road maintain that the
earnings are all that can be desired and
that the stock may be safely picked up
on moderate declines There was some
telling of B. X. I. by so-called brokers,
but 1t was not of very confident charac-
ter and when the rest of the market
strengthened up, covering by the same
brokers was largely instrumental in
bringing about the advance in this stock
The market closed fairly strong but
business all day was restricted, commits
sion houses doing little or nothing.
The government has decided to antici-
pate i'm nediately the November interest
ON bonds. and also the interest payments
up to July l, 1900, at discount of 2-lO
OF one per cent per month. Should the
hondholders avail themselves of this
offer, it is calculated that some $50, co.,
600 would be released, aud should bring
about material decline In the money
rates. Money today was loaned from to
10 per cent.
