Excitement In Orland.

oRLAND, Jan. Is Especial THE usually
quiet village OF Orlsnd was thoroughly
excited Saturday night. For some time
hints Of mysterious visitors have been rife
at the stores and blacksmith shops, and
the ever vigilant officers were on the alert.
Some said ghosts had been uneart he'd
by taking up the old Eastern river bridge;
others thought the new steel bridge was
attended by evil spirits, and that the un-
earthly sounds proceeded from the dis
turbed "demons of the river", but these
liant police OF Orland. One man from
Duck Cove who visited Oriand recently
declared he had seen the monster.
Such was the condition Of affairs in Or
land Saturday night. That night, Bake,
who lives in what is famliarly known as
the Newman house, was aroused by tre-
mendous pounding on his door. IL
turned out to be Lieut.. Hartman, who,
like Paul Revere, was summoning the
neig hbors up to arms.
Now whether through fright or a sort of
double vision, the street seemed to be
alive with armed men, and bristling steel, i,
and in the tall elms that skirt the street
there seemed to be perched birds, beasts
or devils.
Every man was ordered to his post, and
| the shining epaulets OF officer Mooney
oatshone the silver badge Of the sta!wsrt
| policeman under the hill.
OF all the unearthly yells that ever
pierced the evening air, none ever equalied
those that came from those elms. In the
pale moonlight the faces of the brave men
wore I he shen hue Of death.
Officer Mooney addressed the men in a
few we'll chosen words. Grave men,"
said he, "you may be facing death, for If
you miss your aim that spirit of evil may
cause instant annihilation to Us all. Lieut..
Hartman, see that every man does his
duty. Advance and fret"
The blast of musketry was deafening.
moments suspense, and then through
the smoke, down at the feet of Ensign
Baisdell fell-Will Pickering's old
guinea hen.
Whoever has heard the cry OF one OF
these birds will not wonder at its effect
on the strained nerves OF the good peope
of Orland. II this tale is exaggerated in
the least you can attribute it to Biake's
excitement; it is as he told it to the
writer.

TIE MARKET FAVORABLE
Despite the Fact That Merchants Are
Waiting For Election.

New York, October 5.-Bradstreet's to =
morrow will say:
Despite some irregularity both as to
demand and prices, due partly to warm,
rainy weather, but likewise a reflection
Of hesitancy to embark largely in new
business pending political events, the gen
eral tone Of trade is a favorable one, and
conhde nee as to the outlook for business
in the balance of the year is notable.
Some diminution In the volume Of job
bing business is noted at larger western
centers, and continued rainy weather in
the northwest alike checks the move
ment of wheat to market, Injuries the
grade of the same and -discourages re-
tail and jobbing distribution. Ten cent
cotton is the key to the very favorable
report which comes from the South, and
the character of reports from this section
Is more nearly favorable than for many
years past at this time. The indisposi-
tiOn to contract heavily as to the future
is perhaps most marked in the iron and
steel trade and here also the most marked
tendency towards weakness In the cruder
forms Of production is noted.
The industrial outlook has been i'm
proved by the signing Of the tin plate
scale, but the anthracite coal situation
is, on the surface at least, rather more
unfaVorable than a week ago, more NIL
ners and mines being idle and produc-
ton steadily diminishing. Specially
good reports come from the boot and shoe
and allied trades, which are active with
prices firm and tending upward. Special
weakness is noted in the sugar trade ow-
ing to the practical break in the raw su-
gar oornersas much as to the passing Of
the canning season and the reported in
tentiOn Of the refners to reopen the war
in prices. Special strength is noted in
provisions Eand hog products, in which
the very Strong statistical position is re-
ceiYing more attention. The strength OF
the railroad situation is reflected in earn
ings fully equal to last year, and in some
instances, larger, and the announcement
that rates are to be advanced on Novem-
Der 1. October disbursements were the
heaviest ever known, and are partly re-
hected in current bank olearings, which
are the largest since last June.
The rail situation is the cynosure OF
eyes IN the iron and steel trade.
Though comparison is made with
year ago when business was active, prices
advancing and speculation rampant,
business mortality has not materially
increased. Business failures for the week
number III as against 16g last week and
146 in this week a year ago.

Cotton is slightly higher on reports Of
rains and rather smaller than expected
in receipts. Influenced by the satisfsc-
tory prices farmers are reported willing
to sell and advices as to trade and col
lections are uniformly good. Cotton
goods partake of the strength of the raw
material, though demand is quiet at first
hands. Southern yarn manufacturers
have advanced quotations but 1t is noted
that they, no less than the northern man.
ufacturels, are unwilling to contract
ahead heavily In the present uncertain
situation as to raw supplies. There is
a growing feeling however, that lower
prices of cotton are unlikely. Woolen
goods note the effect of the warm weather
on retail distribution while quiet at first
hands, but rather more activity in wool
has been largely at the expense OF the
prices.
Wheat, including flour, shipments for
the week aggregate 4,459, 167 bushels
against 4, ,242, SO bushels last week and
