marvellous medicine also cured Mr..
Long of severe attack of Pneumonia.
Such cures are pccitive proof of the
ma,chless merit of this grand remedy

GEN. LEE DECLINED A HOUSE.
The records OF the meetings of the

The records Of the meetings of the
City Council of Richmond contain no
more interesting page than that which
bea,s the absorption of a letter from
General Robert E. Lee, declining to ac-
cept house which the council propos-
ed 10 present to him.
The record reads as follows: At
meeting of the council Of the city of
Richmond, held on the 9th day of No
vember 1868, Mr.. James A. Scott offer
ed The following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That the sum of SEC. 900 be
appropriated for the purchase of a
house and lot to be rendered to General
Robert E. Lee and family, free OF rent.
and that a committee of three bs ap-
pointed to effect that object.
Ate subsequent meeting of the coun-
cil Mr. s. ,tt, from the special ccmmit-
tee, laid before the body the following
letter and asked that it be spread upon
the journal:
Hdqrs Army Northern Vireinie,
Nov. -, 1868.
To the President of the City Council,
Redmond, Va:
Si,:-My attention has been directed
to resolution reported in the newspa-
9ers as baviug cen introduced into the
uody over which you preside, having
Tor it's object the purchase by the city
of Richmond of a house for the use OF
my is mily. I assure you, sir, that no want
of appreciation OF the honor conferred
upon me by this resolution or insensibil-
iiy to the kind feeling which prompted
1t, induces me to ask, as I most respect
fully do, that no further proceedings be
taken with reference to the subject.
Tue house is not necessary for the use
of my family, and my own duties will
prevent my residence in Richmond. L
should, therefore, be compelled to de.
cline the generous offer, and trust that
whatever means the City Council may
nave to spare lor this purpose may be
devoted to the relief of the families OF
our soldiers in the field, who are more
in need Of assistance and mere deserv-
,ug of it than myself. I have the hon.
or to be very respectfully,
Your obedieDt servant,
R. E LEE, General.

The stock Market.

New York. Sept. 1.-The feature of
to-days market was the vigorous eff
forts Of the bulls about midday to lift
the market out of it's listless and heavy
condition by sharp advance in the
Nanderbilts. The effort miscarried and
invited such a flood Of realizing that
the day, which was in many cases as
much as 81 per share below last nights
level. The bears had a hand in the
decline, but the demand from shorts to
cover was light and rallies in the gen.
eral list were of small proportions. The
movement of railroads generally
through the morning was exceedingly
small either way except in a few in
dividual cases. Chicago and Eastern
Illinois was pushed UP over two points
above par, but relapsed nearly points.
The movement of the specialties in the
nrsL hour was good deal mixed, Con-
solidated Gas and Tennessee Coal
shooting up points. But the tobacco
stocks, Brooklyn Transit and Sugar
were heavy in tone. Only little be-
fore noon Omaha and Northwestern
were pushed up on revival of the old
story of the absorption Of the former
by the latter. About the same time APP
pearance of the New York Central an
nual report showed in detail the rather
striking economies effected by the con-
solidation of that great system. The
result was a rise of points in Omaha,
of 3-S in Northwestern and nearly 2
points in New York Central. A num-
Der of other Vanderbilts sympathized to
the extent of a point and the Union
Pacific stocks were bid up a point, Civ
ing color to rumor that the much
talked-of Transc9atine9tal cQnsolida-
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1899-09-02

ton was about to be perfected. The
very heavy blocks Of Union Pacific
stocks coming out on the rise and the
detection by the bears of selling for
long account brought determined raid
and a realizing movement all along the
line The gains which had been ex-
tended in some cases to near point
were quickly wiped out and the general
level of the market fell below last night,
Brooklyn Transit dropping points
Central Pacific lost / 12. The market
was very listless during the last hour
and closed generally easy at an aver
age decline. London sent higher prices
and bought here to a moderate extent,
but this support was without avail to
sustain the market. The fear of an
unfavorabe bank statement was
heavy weight on the markt A further
decline in the surplus reserve was ex-
pected to be shown by tomorrow 8 bank
statement.
There was not much doing in the
bond market to-day but prices We're
relatively more firmly held than in
stocks. Total sales, par value, $780,
