The registration in Blackbird hun
dred is particularly pleasing to the
Democrats, and it is said by their

Death of Stephen Minuer:-A we'll know

Death Of Stephen Minuer:-A we'll known
resident of the vicinity, Stephen Min
ner, died on his farm near Blackiston
Cross Road on Thursday last after a
weeks illness, in the 73rd year of his
age. He had been a sufferer for some
time with chronic diarrhea, sbut the
sudden carrying off was from an at
tact of paralysis.
Mr.. Minner was held in high esteem
in his neighborhood, was a good and
successful farmer and could the popu-
lar wish have been regarded, it would
have been for him to round up his
four score of years before taking his
departure. The remains were inferred
Sunday morning in the family burying
lot at Bryn Zion Church, Rev. G.. r
Ellis officiating. He leaves besides
his widow, six children-Miss Joseph
inc, Mrs. B. F. Middleton, W. H.
Edwin, Eugene and Arthur Minner
Eugene remains home with his mothei
and will most likely succeed his fathei
on the farm.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. Feb. 14.-COTTON-The
. cotton market was In peculiar position
to-day, being more or less inundated by
possibilities of erratic changes not gov
erned by the regulation influences The
local Situa ton was menaced by the posi-
bility of liquidation following the late adj
vance, While, on the other hand, the pos
Sibility OF further advance was not lost
sight of. This sort of thing had the effect
of restraining business: yet the market
was very active, nervous and subject to
frequent and very wide fluctuations. The
market opened at decline of l. to 10
points upon old crop position, and . to Z
on new crop months. owing to heavy sell
ing following the receipt of unsatisfactory
cables. Excitement was intense at times,
but prices made a quick recovery on indl-
cations of renewed heavy buying for
Liverpool and continental account, and al
though longs We're disposed to meet this
demand. prices moved up II to II points
from the lowest figures. and at noon We're
at practically Yesterdays closing range
Subsequent changes We're within the fore
noon range. with the undertone of the
market still quite firm on bullish statis-
tics at Liverpool. and arbitrary holders

No Action Taken.

A meeting of the subcommittee of the
vestry. OF st. Paurs church was held
Tuesday night, but, as was stated by one
of the committee. no action was taken in
regard to calling of a pastor The COM
nittee is as yet unable to agree upon
any one man. Rev. Mr.. Baker Lee, who
preached an excellent sermon at ST.
Paul's, Sunday last, made a most favor
able impression upon the congrega ton,
and it is thought there are some mem
bers of the vestry in favor of extending
the call to him.
