G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
Possibility That the Annual Gath

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The Evening Post
today says: If an agreement concerning
rates to the G. A. r. encampment is not
arranged between western roads before
Dec. Z, it is likely the encampment will
not be held at Denver. The roads. ar
a controlling number of them, are will
ing to make the 1 cent rate demanded
provided the encampment officials will
postpone the encampment The veterans
are unwilling to set a later date before
the roads have formally granted the ra te
desired. Cleveland is making strenuous
efforts to secure the encamprnent ana a.
is said to have furnished satisfactory
assurances that the one cent rate to that
city can be secured

NEW YORK, Dec. There was a com
paratively narrow market for stocks to-
Cay, and the tone was not we'll defined
at any time. y large and confident buy
ing of few railroad stocks was in evil
dence, but this was partly offset by the
sharp weakness Of a number of indus
trials and specialties and the whole mar
ket turned Downward with the appear
ance of the bank statement, and with the
additional influence of a three point break
in sugar. Sugar was heavy throughout
on doubts regarding the approaching div
idcnd, which rumor has proclaimed would
be increased. Reports of a protected
new refinery near New York had a mark
break the price in the final dealings. Peo-
pies Gas, Glucose, Smelling and Ana
conda also weakened early In the trad
ing. American tobacco showed a strong
recovery from recent depression, and the
coa!erS had q rise on the cold Wea ther
The bank statement was a surprise. The
heavy loan expansion is supposed to be
due largely to preparations for interest
requirements for December l. but the
usual december preparations for Jan. l
are expected to become effective soon
and the revival of the interior demand
for currency toward the last of the week
suggest caution in the borrowing of
money for speculation. The gains III cash
OF $l,S42,SOO was unexpected, and served
reserve requirement of S., 1874, &c., growing
out of the large addition of S11 77S. 900 &c
deposits. The inroad Of $4,000 upon
the surplus would otherwise have been
much larger. The continued large de-
mend for bonds at advancing prices was
a notable feature of the trading.

excitement Of such occasions 1t Is COM
mon, too, to hear a dozen different
men telling single nozzlemen to divert
his stream to dozen different spots at
the same time. All this Is natural.
Everybody Is filled with the desire to
render all the assistance possible under
such circumstances, and whether they
can think Of any really practical SER
vice or not. they feel bound to give evil
dence Of their willingness. But while
the spirit is highly commendable 1t. is
often the cause Of costly confusion. It
Is fact that rs well-organized firemen
can accomplish more in the way Of ex-
tinguishing a fire and saving the
goods, than any mob, however large
or willing. 1t will be Of great advan-
tage to the town and to fire sufferers
when the people realize these facts. AS
rule, people who do not belong to
the fire department, can render most
assistance by standing back and keep
ing out Of the way, except when called
upon by proper authority. This matter
Is Of such Importance as to warrant the
interference Of the police for the pres
ervation Of order. To arrest q we'll
meaning citizen in the act Of trying to
assist neighbor In trouble would
look hard; but 1t is going to take some-
thing like this to make people realize
the danger Of interfering with the fire
department in the discharge Of its du-
ties.

cles gives Of the evening which he and
Mrs. Eccles spent at Mr.. Rouss' home,
last Sunday. Every Sunday evening
from 8 to 10 o'clock Mr.. Rouss has a
literary, musical and social function at
his house, at which a dozen actors,
musicians and artists appear. Rouss
sits back like king and calls upon
one after another to play, sing or re-
cite, and after that all are invited to
the dining room, where there is great
spread. Mr.. and Mrs. Eccles were Mr..
Rouss guests of honor last Sunday
evening. Mr.. Eccles details the differ

dinner there Is another round OF
amusements, after which the guests

dining room to devote their attention
to ice cream, wines, etc. Mr.. Rouss
has habit Of giving each performer

SAYS a New Bedford, Mass, special
of the Sd to the New York CONNER
cial: 1.-THE New Engalnd Cotton Yarn
company having announced that after
October it will do away with selling
agents and will dispose of its yarn d.
rect to consumers, it is expected that
a great deal Of money now paid to
middlemen will be saved. 1t will be
necessary, however, to maintain
maintenance of these offices will cost
considerable money. The proposition
to dispense with the middlemen. has
been put forward strongly Of late, and
If the yarn concerns plan proves sue
cessful, it will not be surprising If it
were followed by the cloth men. In
these days of sharp competition and
small dividends all are alive to the
main chance and are seeking to save
an extra dollar"
This refers to one Of the most import
ant problems with which the mill men
have to deal. 1t looks curious; but it
is an actual fact that not one out Of a
hundred Of the large cotton manufac-
turing concerns has any direct dealings
with the people who retail their pro-
ducts. The spinner, for instance, sells
his yarn to the commission man, or
rather consigns 1t, and the commission
man disposes Of it to the weaver. The
spinner does not know where the yarn
goes to nor does the weaver know
where it comes from. The commission
man occupies the same relation to the
weaver and the wholesaler. Many of
the commission men are wealthy; but
few Of them are reliable. When they
make contracts advantageous to them
selves they, Of course, carry them out
to the letter; but when the changing
market makes contracts disadvanta-
geous they generally give a lot of
trouble. Until within the past few
years the commission men have prac-
tically made prices to suit themselves;
but now the manufacturers seem to be
making some headway, and there Is
probability that there will be change.

Neither side is disposed to consider the
other side in it. The betting in New
York, however, continues to favor Nc

formation as we are able to gather
we would say that these odds are
pretty close to the correct figures. Ia
ken all in all, the chances Of Mr.. Bry-
an do not look any better than at this

feature in the Democratic hopes is
the tendency Of the country to alter

NWITHIN THE TOWN.

DEPUTY Sheriff Harshaw took Fred
Mcknight to the chain-gang on Mon
day.
Trade has been only fairly good
during the past few days, being inter
fered with to some extent by the wet
weather.
AMr. w. N. Ashe fired his big brick
kiln last Friday afternoon. He expects
to get rid Of the water and smoke to-
day and will commence pushing the
fire to a white heat during, the after
noon.,
Ihe water problem Is growing inter-
Ming. Many consumers for mechan-
ical purposes are satisfied that the
rates as now fixed are more than they
can stand. The town council Is care
fully getting all facts as to cost OF
pumping, etc., with view to securing
an adjustment on satisfactory busi-
ness basis.
-Messrs. Elder and Faris have about
completed their survey Of the town,
and Mr.. Elder is now at work finish
ing up the map. According to the
measurements Of the surveyors, the old
surveys were pretty nearly correct az
to the location of the mile posts. A
great many people have been under
the impression that the York cotton
mills property, or at least half OF the
main building, Is within the corporate
limits. The survey shows otherwise.
Only about half Of the company's
warehouse and four cottages are with
in town limits. The surveyors will
make their official report within the
next few days.
There are now 26 cadets at the K
M. M. A., with three others expected
to come in during this week or next
Commencing last Monday, DR.. ]. D.
Mcdowell, Of Yorkville, took. charge OF
the classes in physiology and chemis'
try. He will devote two hours to the
work every morning-from until IL
Having graduated high up In those
branches, the doctor is especially well
prepared to teach them, and the facul-
ty of the academy Is to be congratulated
on having secured his services. Dur
ing last week the furnishing Of the as
sembly room, which has not been need
ed heretofore, was completed. 1t con-
sists Of 124 pretty opera chairs, arrang-
ed in semi-circles around raised plat
form. The room presents handsome
appearance, and looks as If 1t should
answer all reasonable requirements.
There will be occasions, however, when
it will be crowded. Uniforms for the
cadets have not yet been received; but
they will probably be on hand before
the close of the week.
Although Yorkville has fire-fight-
ing facilities that are fully adequate to
all requirements, and a well-organized
fire department, capable Of dealing with
almost any emergency, recent develop
ments have illustrated anew that
there Is sore need for some regulations
that will properly dispose Of the mobs
that usually answer the fire bell. The
excitement that leads unframed people
to throw looking glasses from second
story windows, and carry feather-beds
carefully down stairs, is generally un-
derstood. One sees it at nearly every
fire that occurs in Yorkville. In the
