series of excursions run by the Erie

Honesdale and New York occurred yes

couple of hours and considerable
money in the city. The far-famed

marvellous drawing powers.

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an at
tack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. l gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for ply
sician and it was under his care for a
week. At this time the child had been
sick for about ten days and was hav-
ing about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon OBJ
tanned relief it would not live. Cham

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York Aug. 23.--Affairs In the
STOCK market took on a cheerful APP
pearance from the opening today and
there was no material setback in the
advance In prices from start to finish,
though the dealings were decidedly ir-
regular at times during the day. 1t
became manifest at the opening that
the inside interests in Brooklyn Tran
SIT were prepared to offer a very de-
termined resistance to any further de-
cine in that stock which they have
not been doing for some time past.
Today the price was never more than
IA above last nights level and was
extremely feverlsh all day within a
range of about points. But pres
sure against the stock was relaxed
when the determined nature of the
support became evident. There was
some disposition to cover short con-
tracts in other stocks which have
shown sympathetic weakness with
Brooklyn Transit. The cessation of
the bear campaign left the way open
tor an unopposed advance and there
was large element inclined to buy
STOCKS. The advance in American To-
Dacco was the most conspicuous move
ment or the day. A deluge of Offer
ings was encountered at about every
point, which caused temporary halt.
nut after the absorption of these the
upward movement was resumed. The
extreme rise was over points. Com
tinental Tobacco stocks rose and over
z points, respectively, in sympathy.
Sugar showed momentary weakness at
the opening, but was increasingly
strong as the day progressed and is
up 21aon the day. There wereheavy
takings of the leather stocks, which
have gained 1h and 23s, respectively.
In the railroad list business was ex-
ceedingly well distributed and a large
number of stocks show gains between
l and 2 points. The most notable
feature of the trading in this depart
ment was the tendency to turn to the
middle and low priced stocks, while the
high priced and established dividend
paying stocks were almost universally
left Quiescent.
Net gains of points or upward are
shown by Baltimore and Ohio, Erie
first preferred, Hooking Valley, North
ern Pacific, Fort Worth and Rio
Grande, Chicago and Eastern Illinois
and st. Paul and Duluth rose an eX-
treme points. A much more cheer
full sentiment was reflected from for
eign stock markets today and London
was a buyer on balance in this market.
Total sales. $4,000.

CARBONDALE.
coUNc1LMEN WOULDN'T MEET.
Attorney Burns, of Scranton, Was
Prepared to Address Them.

A joint meeting of councils was ar
ranged for last night, but notwlth-
standing the fact that the corridors
of the City building contained a quor-
um of each branch, no meeting was
held
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of acting on the bids for surface
water sewers. Some councilmen want
ed to give the contract to Blair d
Kennedy, while others, preferring to
follow the advice of the city solicitor
who said that inasmuch as the bid
exceeded the appropriation such ac-
tion could not be legally taken wanted
to reject all bids and advertise again.
Attorney l. II. Burns, of Scranton,
was presented and prepared to ad-
dress the solons in behalf of Blair &
Kennedy. 1t Is understood the plan
was to have their bid accepted and
draw up a contract for enough of the
proposed work to use up the appropria-
tion.
However. the indications are that
there will be no surface sewers con-
structed this year.
