THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

IN Iieb, volume Of business the stock mar
,,st worked toward a lower level in the greater

almost entirely Of the operations Of professlonal
traders. As a rule, final declines were sina"'
amounting in most cases 10 insignificant lrA'-

hin, sor prominent market interests, who ap-
rarentlv were willing 10 buy attractive stocks
or the decline There were no adverse FACTORS
affecting the actual worth of securities indeed
the general trend OF news in the day was eA-
,ren1elv encouraging for the advocates Of hlsh-
or values Money market conditions were more
.,oo,,rag,nr while the course Of the foreign
exchange market set at rest Tuesdays ruIio's
reearding the possibility Of gold exports ster-
ling rates declined sharply. In the foreign mar
kets money rates exhibited an easier tendency
and the Bank Of England made no change IN
its minimum rate Of discount
II Is not generally believed in well Informed
foreign banking circles that gold will be shipped
10 Europe in the immediate future, o. that I'M
r,ortant exports OF the metal viii be made IN
the course OF the next twelve months. Exports
of general merchandise from the United States
are increasing rapidly, and il is expected that
the outward movement or grain thls Kan VIII
supply q sufficient amount Of exchange to onset
this country's large debit balance in Europe.
Already the European demand for American
corn and wheat is heavy. adequate reflection
of which Is presented in the official statement
OF exports in September. According TO the best
Informed bankers there is now no occasion foT
alarm over the position Of the local money mar
ket. Owing 10 the heavy purchases Of govern
ment bonds by the Federal Treasury the New
York banks have received from the Treas

Prince AIorecht, as the emperor's representa- tive, entertained all of them. at dinner, and it was toward midnight when the party broke up. At s q. m. or quar- ter past they had themselves called, the emperor having directed that the battle begin at z The field of the maneuvers is situated quite a distance by rail from Frankfurt-an-der-Od Oder, and the princes and generals had to assemble at the railroad station at 4:30 a. m. to catch the special train. Even then the em- peror was afield before them.
 Tons of gunpowder were burned dur ing the. day. Sixty thousand infantry and 200 pieces of artillery were in ac- tion. The reports near and distant of the many thousands of rifles, which blended into a sound like the humming of vast thrashing machine, was bro- ken at intervals by the tearing, rip saving effect of the firing of the ma chine guns.
 Emperor William Major General Cor bin, Major General Young, Brigadier General Wood, Lord Roberts, General French and the other visitors and the numerous staff, in all 100 horsemen, looked on from a hilltop midway be tween portion of the hostile lines.
 The opposing forces were freshly re arranged on the field after the guests and unofficial visitors accompanying them had returned from Frankfurt-an- der Oder, the emperor remaining tire lessly on his horse. The engagement was resumed, and at the end of the day the "blue" army was adjudged to have won superior positions.

The minister Q posts and telegraphs, Signor Galimber ti, and the leading officials of his de- pertinent have examined a plan sub- mitted by an engineer named Piscicelli for the establishment of system of electrical delivery of the mails by which letters are to be transmitted in aluminium boxes along overhead wires at the rate of 24S miles an hour. A, commission has been appointed to re port upon this system before institut- ing experiments between Rome and Naples. Between these two points the inventor claims that he can deliver letters in twenty-five minutes, while the time to send mail from Rome to Paris by this system, Signor Piscicelli says, could be reduced to five hours.

There To-Day.
 Thomaston, Sept 11.--Nearly three thousand volunteer firemen were pres ent to-day from all parts of the state to take part in the first annual fire- mems parade. They were reviewed along the line by about 12,000 people, two-thirds of whom were visitors. The weather was excellent and the decor ationsN were elaborate and handsome. Band stands were erected all along the line and among the bands which par ticipated in the parade were the Second Regiment band of New Haven, the Wheeler & Wilson of Bridgeport, the American and Military bands of Wa terbury and the Hatch band of Hart ford. The feature of the day was the formation of the parade. Arches had been erected all along the line and be- hind each arch formed the company whose name was inscribed on the arch. At the order of the grand marshal, William Sanford, the companies marched through and took their places in line. As the last company fell in the head of the procession was on Main street one-half mile away
 The reviewing stand was near the Thomaston club and the firemen were reviewed by many visiting fire chiefs, who were the guests of the Thomaston fire department One of the most distinguished visitors was ex-Fire Chief Hendricks of New Haven. Af- ter the parade dinner was served by the ladies of Thomaston under three large tents erected on the green. The waitresses were all young ladies who offered tlAir services.

The Washington bee., 1902-04-19

From the cab window Fickler had seen
a red flag, the signal of danger, way
ing down the track The distance was
probably 500 feet. The engineer with
all haste applied the air and reversed
the lever. The heavy train responded
with a jar and rumble, and, sliding
with ever-decreasing speed, came to a
stop within 20 feet of a little child, a
girl OF about two years Of age, wearing
a red cloak with lace collar.
The child was standing between the
rails as if rooted there, gazing at the
locomotive with the liyeliest curiosity.
1t was the color of the cloak, a mere
speck Of red in the cOnverging lines Of
steel that had saved her from death
under the wheels. As the train was
slowing up. Whitsell gave the whistle
leeway and with hOarse screams and
the bell tried to frighten the child into
a realization OF her danger. There
was a horrible fear in the hearts Of
both men that the train would not
stop in time.
The whistle attracted the attention
of the inmates of a miners house near
the track. A woman ran swiftly to
the track, seized the child in the red
cloak, kissed it as she hugged it to her
breast, burst into weeping as she car
ried her Justify crying burden dowr
the slight embankment. She forgot TO
thank the train crew, but that didn't
matter. They were used to stopping
a danger signals.
