The Speculative Halt.
philadelphia Record.l

The drop in shares which has followed
upon the action of the Court of Appeals
In the Northern Securities case does not
indicate any loss of actual value. 1t is
only a result of a change of mind upon
the part of speculative owners. The prop.
critics involved are intact. The decis-
ion OF the court did not break a rail or
blow up locomotive, or bring on a
washout or landslide. Neither did it
interfere with the growth of winter
wheat or stay the march of potato bug
Awaiting in confidence and without
tremor the final action of the United
States Supreme Court in interpreting the
Sherman antitrust act, the non-speeula-
tive business affairs of the country will
move along serenely. The healthy IL
quotation now going on, by Withdrawing
money from doubtful enterprises, will
make 1t more plentiful for legitimate I'M
dertakings. There may not be so much
dash and daring IN the field of industrial
enterprise for the next twelve months il
we have come to halt in the general
movement toward consolidation, but
there will be more soidity and safety.

Bangor News: In the list of teachers
in the different towns, which our faithful
correspondents have sent in. we note
that few men still linger along in the
profession, which is encouraging. About
ten years ago the ola time pedsgogue
was nearly extinct in Maine. Like the
buffalo and the great aux, he had been
driven to death by the all-eouQueriug
schoolms'am. For four or five years his
name did not appear in any OF the towns.
Then one or two showed themselves as
curiosites, and now they seem to be on
the gain once more. When the Leeis a.
ture meets 10 extraordinary session xt
September it ought to pass bill for he
better protection OF the schoolmasfer.
Otherwise, we fear he will cease TO exist
except perhaps in some museum as
specimen of what walked upon earth
before the advent OF the schoolma'am
and the shirt waist.

The Governor has made a systematic and pains

While nothing has been left undone
to make the coming carnival a sue
cess in every way from pleasure
and financial standpoint, knowing
there will be a great number of visi-
tors in the city who, perhaps. will not
attend the festivities, Rev. S. S. Hol-
comb, superintendent of the Gospel
Mission" has secured a large gospel
tent, which will seat 1000 people and
will erect it on the corner of Fifth
avenue and Main street Monday, and
will hold undenominational gospel
meetings daily at 10 a. m. and p. m.
during the week. Every minister and
Christian in the city is invited to at
tend the services. Good music and
congregational singing. Bring your

OF TOM VINlNG FROM BEING
CRUSHED BY COTTON BELT
ENGINE.
His Wagon Smashed Into splnters
and Vegetables Scattered
Profusely.

While Tom Vining was ATTEMPTING
to get across the Cotton Belt railroad
at Main street and Third avenue
about 1880 o'clock Saturday morning
the switch engine pulled some cars
over the crossing, going south, and
a street car was on the north side of
the track. Mr.. Vining in attempting to
cross over, whipped up his horses,
which became frightened at the car.
and took down the track eastward.
The switch engine was backing up
and crushed the wagon in to many
pieces. Mr.. Vining, seeing the dang
er he was in, jumped from the wagon
in time to save his life The damages
amounted to about $45. The wagon
was one-horse wagon and used to de-
liver vegetables. He had about SIS
worth of vegetables in his wagon
when the accident happened. The
peas, beans and raddishes were
strewn all over the track. This is
one accident like many that are going
to happen at the same point. The
Cotton Belt uses Main and Third at
this point as a common switch yard
and the city should take some steps
to prevent it.

Floal Parade.

Mr.. L. O. Knox said last night that
the floral parade would be one of the
finest ever given in city the size
of Pine Bluff, and would far eclipse
the usual floral parade. There will be
fourteen or more handsomely decorat-
ed floats. He says there is an ambi-
tion on the part of each of those who
will have floats to have the most at
tractive one in the parade. There will
also be a number of handsomely deco
rated buggies, carriages and traps.
