Baltimore and Ohio was the only stock New York bought, letting the mar ket go flat In the street there was feverish rally.
 Coppers began flat on New York's quo- tation for metal, and Paris refrained from supporting Tintos, which London beared Then Paris began to buy, causing a rally yTintos at 59A, having been at 57B.

The order from Judge Estee came
after a good deal of correspondence
had passed between his honor and Su-
perintendent Of Public Works Nc

CAMBRIANS AT SALTAIR.
Welsh People and Their Friends Have
Delightful Outing.

Saltair was invaded by the Cam
brians yesterday. and they had q fine
time. The occasion was the state Welsh
excursion which attracted not only
those people from the city, but also a
large number of PSYCHOLOGISTS from
Spanish Fork, where the recent festi
val was held.
The weather about the middle of the
afternoon was a little threatening, but
moderated afterward and withal was
quite pleasant. The afternoon was
spent in boating and bathing as well
as in social amenities, which were
heartily enjoyed.
In the evening a programme of I'M
usual excellence was rendered, consist
ing of patriotic and comic songs, dances
and a chorus by portion Of the Taber-
nacle choir who rendered the contest
number which was granted a prize at
the Spanish Fork EisteddfOd.
The opening number was a chorus
led by William Evans, which was fol-
lowed by a song by Professor Evan
Arthur, who sang in excellent voice,
the audience joining in the chorus.
John w. Lloyd was then introduced
and sang a song entitled 1.-The Little
Old Thatched Cottage" Joe Parry
then danced a quickstep, much to the
enjoyment of the audience, and was re-
called.
John p. Jones. a citizen of Spanish
Fork and Y years Of age, followed Mr..
Parry, and his graceful movements
would cause a young man to look well
after his laurels.
One of the most enjoyable features
was a Welsh song by Mrs. Mary Isaacs
of Spanish Fork, lady 81 years of age.
Her voice for one of her years is of
great sweetness and she delighted her
hearers, who gave her a hearty encore.
My Native Land" was sung by Reese
James.
The last number. Jerusalem. My
Glorious Home" and the browning fea-
ture of the evening was the Eisteddfod
prize number at Spanish Fork. Pro-
fessOr Evan Arthur led the chorus and
the rendition was most delightful.
Quite a number of Hibernians from
Park City came down yesterday and
spent the day very pleasantly and
quietly at Saltair.
The attendance at the beach yester-
daV was about 600.

NJ B. Camplin and large force of men

still another big fire is burning not lar
from the famous Rambler mine.
The rains of the past week have sup
pressed the fires in a number of places,
but they have broken out anew and
worse than ever. Special Agent Camplin,
with a force of forty men, is now IN the
vicinity of the Rambler fire. All are

TROUBLE FOR CA1LIsTER.
Republican State Chairman Likely 10

To hold over or not to hold over. That
IS the question that is agitating the mind
of Chairman +. II. Callister of the Re
publican state committee these days. Mr.
Callister wants to hold over so bad il

fair for him to be chairman only long
enough to call the state convention to or

Yet a project is on foot to throw the

ously. His ambitions, which have grown
and iourished and waxed copiously large.

elected 10 succeed Wesley Knowing Wal

Now the word is being passed around
that Colonel Lannan desires 10 encompsss
the defeat OF the SEeepman. If this be
true-and there seems small reason for
doubt Cdllister is as good as gibbeted
lie might have known, so goes the talk
that Colonel Lannan would give him the
bounteous jolt as soon as opportunity Of

Colonel Lannan mindeth well the last
city campaign when Callister on the huSt-
ingS denounced the organ OF the storm
as creaky instrument; one withal that
played no professional for the party Of
Hanna, but rather occasional. Deep
into the mind OF the widely known editor
sunk a bitterness conceived OF Callister's

WAR ON RATTLESNAKES.
Pike County Talks of DISCRIMINATING
Them in the Interest of Visitors.

Few spots in Pennsylvania offer so
much that is inviting as Pike county.
1t appeals to the summer guest on ac-
count of its high altitude and pictur-
esque surroundings, and many beau
tiful summer homes have been erected
there. The greatest enemy to the in
terest of the "One green spot as Pike
is Familiarity called, is the rattlesnake,
and a rather novel plan has been pro
posed to rid the county of these rep
tiles. w Gordon Parker is the orig
inatOr of the scheme, and he is sup
posed to have other influential men
back of him.
A plan is TO raise enough money,
either by popular subscription among
the summer residents or by interesting
a few capitalists to offer a bounty of
rs cents or more for each fresh
snake skin. This would make
the rattlesnake business a thriving one,
and it is thought that in a short time,
few years at the longest, the rep
tiles could be stamped out. The Snakes
are, this year, believed to be unusually
numerous, and only recently in Sho-
hole township three men narrowly es-
capped from them with their lives.
The presence Of these reptiles keeps
hundreds of people out of the county
each year. Patrick Ford of the Irish
World, who spent several months at
Bradner Woods with his family,
promptly ended his visit after seeing
a snake that had been killed in the hay
field. Mr.. Parker has made his plan
known through the medium of an ap-
peal to the regular visitors and prop
erty owners of the district, in which
he urges the action outlined above. He
says also: CLOSE friends have de-
clined 10 visit me here because of the
presence of rattlesnakes. During my
trip last month from Lackawaxen to
Pond Eddy l found that the reptiles
were pretty evenly distributed. and
infer il is about the same throughout
the county. For the good of the com
munity these horrid reptiles should be
stamped out. 1t is not at all impossi-

when the reptiles are least active. and
all of them that can be found will be
Killed. This will be repeated so long
as 1t shall be necessary to the work
or determination, or at least until the
rattlers shall be so diminished in num-
bers that the district will be as nor
mally safe for the human family as
any other in the state. The plan, how

the suggestion and appeal of Mr.. par
ker. 1t must receive popular indorse-
ment and support before il can become
operative; but the probabilities are
