The New Bell


for Emmanuel Church arrived on Thurs
day of last week and was raised to the
tower IN Monday forenoon by five OF the
rigger gang, Melvin Davis, foreman, OF
the Powder Works, with their rigging.
Thirty Others, great and small Of the con-
gregatiun, helped hoist it to the top OF
the old brick church, and when 1t was
set on the floor Of the tower a cheer OF
JOY went up from many young Threats.
1t was set i'll the frame a few minutes
before Don and when it rang out a clear
sonorou 0 another cheer went up
from the boys who will long remember
the hanging OF the bell.
The bell weighs about 1900 pounds,
and with the frame and wheel, 2O50
pounds. 1t is OF steel alloy, has a clear
silvery tone which was heard three miles
OF Monday las far as Thos. Nortons and
Albert Summerill's) and car be heard,

Prof. VIM. Megill,


In this age of advanced science, so many real
Nv wonderful discoveries are be!ng made that
no one has a right to doubt untll they nave IN
vestigated. Prof. Megill came here a short time
ago and in spite Of prejudice has demonstrated
the genuineness of his theory and power, ana
bmlt up a large and constantly increasing prac.
tice, Many cases that have received no dement,
from the Oid-time treatment are at present rap
idly improving under Prof. MegilVs care. Mag,
nrfic healing has been attracting wide spread
attention ali over the civilized world within the
last few years aud often cases OF stubborn
character and long standing, give up ana aOan-
doned by medical mel as hopeless and incur
able, have been cured in a few treatments by
Prof. Megill. The painful operations OF the
surgeons knife and the quack's harmful drugs
are being supplanteh by this more humane and
natural treatment. Prof, Mepill is a thoroughly
experienced and trust worthy practitioner ana
can refer to many almost miraculous cures right
in this neighbOrhoOd. All pains are relieved In
from two to fifteen minutes without the knife
or medicine. Prof. Megill will be practieularly
glad TO receive incredulous persons and feels
sure OF his ;.bihty to satiSS them.

THE RICE MARKET.

Especial to News and ObServer)
New York, August There
is no abatement in the vigor or vol
ume of business; the patronage
pretty evenly distributed between the
various grades in domestic and foreign.
Under scanty stocks and unusually
large demand there is strength OF
market which sends out the old crop
and ushers in the new at full values.
The incoming season has bright be
ginning; never was the situation clean
er and freer of adverse features, and IL
the marketing of the crop shall pro-
coed at wise ratio, prospecting prices
are assured for the more fortunate
who made crop. Even if the production
exceed any no Improbable, bounds, it
will be far short of requirements which
have been greatly increased by the de
mand of Porto Rico, and this year
further enlargement may be expected
on account of the short crop in potatoes.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note cargo lots quiet; spot goods
steady, with weaker tone on forward
offerings of cleaned.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, August 1.-Business today
was on reduced scale and there was
a more general disposition to curtail op-
crations pending the settlement of the
steel strike. The announcement over night
Of general extension of the strike order
caused some hesitancy at the outset in
the general market, but outside from a
sharp dip at the end of the first hour,
and again toward the close, the tendcncy
was distinctly upward throughout The
final prices were about the best for At
Gibson, st. Paul, Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific, which accounted for the most
active dealings in the railroad division.
Reports have been current for several
days past of a fixed price at which the
United States Steel stocks would not be
allowed to break by the alleged pool be-
hind the Stock This level was exceeded
earlier in the week and spectators gen
orally were interested in watching the
opening in the stocks this morning When
5000 shares of the common stock came
out on a scale down to 39a and a figure
ives made Of 80 for the preferred, repre-
senting losses of "a each, support was i'm
mediately forthcoming and a rumor gained
currency that the level for today was
hxed at 39% and SO respectively.
Professional operators made but feeble
Efforts to depress the stocks in the s,Ibse-
quent 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 Whether this superstition was
correct or not, or because the short in
terest had been unduly extended in the
railroad list, the fact remains that all
of the grain carrying roads showed con-
spicuous strength at various times No
doubt the Changers were helped by the
rise of about cent in wheat, but Atch-
sons Improvement could not be directly
traced consistently to the fluctuations in
corn which was higher. Business in the
United States Steel stocks was ON an
even smaller scale than yesterday. but
they moved pretty steadily upward,

touching 40a4 and so respectively and
ended at the highest of the day. a 1um-
Der of minor railroads made somewhat
sensational advances, the extreme rise IN
Lake Erie and Western common and pre-
ferred being s and 10 respectively, and
st. Lawrence and Adirondack 6ss. No
news attended the upward movement in
these stocks aside from the placing Of
the latter on five per cent dividend
basis. Industrial stocks aside from Su-
gar were without any special change ana
the fluctuations in even that stock were
within comparatively moderate limits.
Some weakness developed early in the
Coalers on talk of renewed dissatisfac-
tion among mine workers but their losses
were cancelled later on, except for Lack
awanna which ended seven points OIL
Monetary conditions were unchanged but
sterling exchange was stronger, demand
bills being held rigidly at 4SS There are
no prospects for gold shipments this week
to Germany. In the closing dealings
prices were on the upturn again, and
the ending was very firm.
Railroad bonds were quiet and some
what irregular. Total sales (par valuc)
81 140 ,000
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last CALL
The total sales of stocks today were
$4,000 shares, including the following:

COTTON.
New York, August THE market for
cotton futures started weak with prices
lower. The shorts were confident as !,
natural result of recent decided successes,
the bulls were satisfied that an advance
in the immediate future was very unlikely
and that under the circumstances, unload.
ing was the order of the day. The in
fluences at work were strikingly bearish;
in fact, there was little upon which to
base full convictions. Liverpool broke
. to 5l1 points instead of the two points
only due on our closing of yesterday. the
crop advices were much more encouraging
than in some time, the weather condi-
tions averaged up favorably, though Gem
SPOT cotton was slow at the best.
The first prices showed declines of 9
to IL points, which were Increased after
the call to IL points on the December
option. which sid down to 40. This break
uncovered number of stop loss orders,
the execution of which and pressure of
local, Southern and Liverpool selling,
made the low prices. On the break, the
of al
heavy buyers, particularly the shorts, who
were active in securingftheir profits. The
market rallied four to five points soon
after the opening on this buying, but
only to break again to the low level
mentioned on the posting of fuller de-
tails regarding the extent of the rain. On
second break traders who were identified
with the bull movement during June and
July and August options, and who sold
out three weeks ago turned up heavy
buyers. Their purchases absorbed all the
offerings, and prevented any further
break, and later had such steadying
influence on the general market that the
selling movement ceased and prices
rallied three to five points from the low
quotations mentioned, and thereafter held
steady on about that basis during most OF
the afternoon. d
The last hour witnessed feverish va
riations with sentiment favoring curtail-
ment of short accounts rather than furth-
or bear operations, pending receipt of to-
morrow's cables. The close was quiet
with prices net four to seven points
lower.

Prizes for Road Members.

In some English counties prizes are
offered for the section of road which
is kept in the best order throughout
the year. There is an honorable rival
ry among the roadmasters for obtain
ing these rewards, and the winners are
proud of their distinction as champion
road members. When all the roads are
preeminent for their excellence, it can
not be an easy matter for the most
critical committee TO make the awards,
but the effect of the competition is to
put every man on his mettle and to
increase the efficiency of the road serv-
ice. How different are these methods
and processes from those which pre-
vail in rural America, where highway
commissioners draw their salaries and
set tgangs of laborers at work few days
before election or where farmers in the
autumn. when there is nothing else
to 90. unite in weeks voluntary serv-
ice as road members.
