I'll q STOCK II ARA LL
Tendency Distinctly Upward Effect of
 Steel Strike.

Steel Strike.
 New York. Aug. 7.-Business to-day was on a reduced scale and there was a more general disposition to curtail op- erations pending the settlement of the steel strike. The announcement over night of a general extension of the l strike order caused some hesitancy at the outset in the general market, but aside from a sharp dip at the end of the first hour and again toward the close the tendency was distinctly up- about the best for Atchison, St. Paul, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, which accounted for the most active dealings in the railroad division, Re- ports have been current for several days past of a fixed price below which the United States Steel stocks would not be allowed to break by the alleged pool behind the stock This level was exceeded earlier in the week and spec ulators generally were interested in watching the opening in the stocks this morning.
 When 6,000 shares of the common stock came out on scale down to S95s, and at S9 for the preferred. represent ing losses of F each, support was im- mediately forthcoming and rumor gained currency that the level for to- day was fixed at 39A and S9, respec- lively Professional operators made but feeble efforts to depress the stocks in the subsequent dealings and were more inclined to bid up the general list on the theory that the backing to the steel issues would have sustaining effect on all other properties. From whatever reason, it is fact that all of the grain-carrying roads showed con- spicuous strength at various times. Business in the United States Steel stocks was on even smaller scale than yesterday, but their prices moved pret- ty steadily upwards, touching 40& and 90 respectively and ended at the high est of the day.
 A number of minor railroads made somewhat sensational advances, the ex- treme rise in Lake Erie and Western, common and preferred, being SG10, Iowa Central common and preferred, 33a dD5h and St Lawrence and Adiren- dack 62s. No news attended the up- ward movement in these stocks aside from the placing of the latter on per cent. dividend basis. Industrial stocks, aside from Sugar, were with out any special change and the fluctua tions in Sugar were within compara- lively moderate limits.
 Some weakness developed early in the coalers on talk of renewed dlssatisfac- tion among mine workers, but their losses were cancelled later on, except for Lackawanna, which ended points off.
 Monetary conditions were unchanged, but sterling exchange was stronger. There are no prospects for gold ship ments this week to Germany. In the closing dealings prices were on the up- turn again and the ending was firm.
 Railroad bonds were quiet and some what irregular. Total sales par value GOO.
 United States bonds were all un- changed on the last call.

THE CROPS OF NEW ENCLAND
WEATHER BUREAUS REPORT ON
 THE CONDITIONS.
Crops Generally Reported to Re in n Satisfactory Condition in This Sec tfnn-Co,. nftcuf In Naed f IF ai

tton-Connecticut In Need of Rain
 In a statement of the weather and crop conditions in New England com piled by the United States weather bureau from the reports of correspond ents throughout this section for the week ending Monday, August 5, the following interesting facts appear:
 Showers have occurred during the week that have been of the greatest benefit to all crops. The temperature has been about normal, and there has been just about the right amount of sunshine Droughts which have threatened have been dispelled, and nearly all reports are sanguine of a more successful season than it was possible to expect in the early part of the season. Rhode Island and south ern Connecticut need rain but other localities are experiencing the most de- sirable weather.
 The maxima of the temperature of the week have ranged from 90 degrees to 58 degrees, and the ninima from 75 de- grees to 46 degrees. The temperature averaged from 23 well distributed stat ions was 67 degrees, average Is one de- gree below the average lst week and two degrees above the average of the corresponding week of last week. The average temperatures at the several weather bureau sta tlons in New Eng land were: Eastport, 60; Portland, 66; Northfield 66; Boston, 72; Nantucket, 68 The average temperature at AL bany, N. r., was "A. This is about the normal temperature for the week, though in some localities it has seemed unseasonably cool.
 The rainfall in Maine has made up for the deficiency that was being ex- perienced at the close of last week. Rhode Island and southern Connecti- cut are in need of rain, and some pas lures are not affording sufficient grass for stock Tn most localities the rain was very opportune and of particularly great help to hoed crops. The average rainfall of 20 well distributed stations was 92 of an inch. The amounts at the weather bureau stations in New England were: Passport, 30; Portland, 80; Northfield, 100; Boston, .15; Nan tucket, 1,20 inches.
 The satisfactory conditions of crops continues. Late sown grain has been greatly helped by the rain, and will un doubtedly make fine crop. Fodder in pastures is deficient in some places and cattle are being fed from barns, and some have died in the fields. It Is re- ported that the bees are not storing much honey, due to the cold weather early in the season. Grains are in good healthy condition. The rain has helped the late sown grain to a great extent. Having Is practically completed. Veg etables and fruits will be about the same as the average, except apples, which give no more promise than for merly. Tobacco is fine and some cut ting will be done next week. What is most needed to keep the crops in best conditions from now on is plenty of sunshine, without diminishing the rain- fall.

Clarlnda. Ia. June 2S.-At the hour
when he was to have been married
and while the bride and her guests
We're awaiting his appearance for that
event Thomas j. Rogers committed
suicide. During the day Rogers ar
ranged for the minister to perform the
ceremony that was to unite him to
Miss 1nez c. Plank. The wedding was
to have taken place at the home of
the brides parents. About twenty of
the friends of the young couple, who
had been invited, assembled shortly
before q o'clock. the time set for the
wedding. AS the hour passed and the
groom did not come a messenger was
sent to see what was the matter
The joy of the nuptinl party was
turned into grief and CONSERVATION
when half an hour later the announce
ment was made that Rogers had ta-
Ken his life. Instead of going to the
home of the bride the young man
had shut himself in his room and shot
himself. The bal! entered the skull
just above the ear and passed back
through the head, but it was nearly
an hour after the shooting before life
was extinct. Rogers three years ago
Inherited $4,000 from his father. OF
this he had spent all but $50. This
fact, 1t is thought, weighed upon him,
although he had never shown signs of
being depressed.
The only incident indicating that he
contemplated suicide occurred an hour
before the shooting. Rogers asked his
sister. Mrs. G. j. Hyflin, with whom
he lived, to go to his wedding, but she,
being i'll, told him she was not able to
do so. He then remarked that she
would be sorry. This sister, who was
was In an adjoining room, heard the
report of the revolver and went into
Rogers room to find her brother lying
In front of the piano clutching the
weapon in his hand. Rogers was born
and raised at Clearmont, Mo.

Thursday evening, June 9th, 1901,
at half past nine o'clock, at the resi-
dence of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. MIC. Mills, No. lis West Seventh
Street, was solemnized the marriage of
their youngest daughter, Miss Hattie
Gloria Mills with Mr. Robert Ashmore
Kennedy, of Manchester, Iowa. Only
about twenty-five of the immediate rel
atives and near friends were present.
The guests were received and welcom-
by the bride, and AT the appointed time
she with the man of her choice took the
place assigned and were united in holy
wedlock, by her pastor, Rev. Richmond
A. Smith, of the First Baptist church,
who used the impressive ring service
The rooms had been made most attrac-
tive under the skilled direction of Miss
Brownie Eberhardt and Miss Beth
Moreland The bride was peculiarly
sweet and attractive in her gown of
white Batsie trimmed with white
spangled net and ribbon, and carrying
a bunch of lilies of the valley. The
groom wore the conventional black.
Many friends who were not able to wit
ness this pretty home wedding, feel an
unusual interest In the affair as the
bride has grown to young womsnhood
in our midst, and has widened her &C.
quaintance and gained sincere regard
for her welfare, by her gracious win
ming personality, and her willingness to
give pleasure or render assistance when
possible by her sweet voice. For the
past two years she has been the leading
soprano in the Presbyterian choir, but
always has responded to all outside de.
mands.

John u. Roney.

In the death of John G. Roney, which
occurred last Sunday at his home on
Butler street, this city loses one of its
very best citizens. He was a man of
stirling integrity, devoted husband,
kind neighbor and reliable friend.
Though firm and ardent believer in
the creed of the church of which he
was amember, 'and jealous laborer in Its
vineyard, he accorded to others the
same right to their beliefs that he claim
ed for himself. He had no enemies and
all who knew him were his friends.
He was born at Bangor, Maine, on
November l4th, 1S47,and was resident
of this city for the past twenty-five
years. In 1884 he was joined in mar
riage with Miss Joanna NJ. Tierney,
who survives him.
The funeral services were held yes
terday forenoon at st. Mary's church,
in this city, and were largely attended.
Solemn, high mass was celebrated with
all the pomp and ceremony of the Cath
Ollie church. Rev. Father Bernard was
celebrant, Rev. Father Murtsgh was
deacon, and Rev. Father Hanley
was sub deacon. After the mass Rev.
j. j. Hanley gave the final absolution
and preached the funeral sermon, which
was an eloquent tribute to the life and
memory of the deceased.
He took for his text the words of oul
Savior, BLESSED are the dead who die
in the Lord for their works do follow
them" He showed how the Catholic
church honored her dead, especially the
magnilicence of its ritual, in doing
justice to the memory of its devoted
and deceased members. In vivid colors
he portrayed the loss sustained by thu
community in the death of Mr.. Rooney
and his kind words must have beer
balm for the grief of the loving wife
the fond mother, the sisters, brotheri
and hosts of other relatives and friend,
in attendance. lie spoke of Mr.. Roney'

Manchester a RAILROAD Center.

Our former townsman, Capt. j. F.
Merry, is helping in every way possible
to make Manchester's 4th of July cele-
bration decided success. He has had
thousands of bills circulated in which,
under the above caption, the following
complimentary paragraph appears:
"There may be other towns the size
of Manchester that In morals and man.
ners, in intelligence and patriotism, in
enthusiasm and enterprise Of its citizens
excels the Dairy City, but if so, the
writer of this article cannot locate
them. Other towns may excel in some
particular, but for an all around, de-
lightful hometown, Manchester is not
and can not be surpassed And when
Manchester undertakes a celebration,
everybody knows it means high order
of intelligence and patriotic entertain
ment, and on this, the first Fourth of
July of the new century when Manches-
ter celebrates the incoming of q new
railroad, and the fact that hereafter it
will appear on the map as a railroad
center, it is expected that money will
be freely used in elaborate decoration, in
furnishing all kinds of legitimate enter
tainment, in providing excellent music,
and an grafton commensurate with the
importance of the occasion. No one
who visits Manchester will be dis
appointed. She has had many large
and enthusiastic gatherings in the past,
but her celebration of July 4th, 1901,
will be the browning and happy event
of nearly half a century of patriotic
and successful history. Gladly we take
off our hat and exclsim, all hail to
plucky Manchester"
These kind words show that notwith-
standing the fact that Mr.. Merry has
sold all of his Manchester property, and
become resident of another city, there
is still a warm place in his heart for
Manchester and Manchester people.
