WILLIAM LUCAS
PASSSE AWAY
)NE OF sHINNsToN LAND MARKS
HAS GIVEN UP ALL THAT IS
MORTAL.
succumbs to Bright's Disease After {
Long nlness.-For Years Was Prom
inent in His Community.

William H. Lucas, OF Shinnston, i
lead. On last Monday he breathed his
last and his spirit took its flight into
the realms of the great beyond.
Mr. Lucas was in his 72nd year. He
had been great sufferer for the past
eight months, although he WAS not con,
fined to his bed all the time. His suf
fering was caused by a complication OF
diseases. but Bright's disease was the di-
rect cause of his death.
The funeral services were held at his
-esidence on Rebecca street in Shinnston
Wednesday afternoon. conducted by the
Odd Fellows order, of which he was a
aember. Intcrment was made in the
unity burying ground about one mile
west of Shinnston.
The death of Mr.. Lucas removes an
other of the old landmarks of that com
munity. His demise is greatly regretted
by all who knew him. Being man of
influence as we'll as affluence, he has been
closely identified for many years with
the development of that section of the
county, where he was born and reared.
Mr.. Lucas was married to Mrs. Mary
e. Lowe in 1890. He has no children.
His wife survives him.

In another column will be found an
advertisement of an extraordinary ma

diclted therein is actual, and there is
no reason to doubt THAT it is, there is

faithfully since the first of last January.
and yet he has been unable to find any
thing ITO do. He is unqualified for most
any job, and is willing to take one that
will Justify him, one at reasonable sal
airy. That seems to indicate that bust
ness is on standstir, md yet every
thing else bellies it. What the wrong is
in this instance is not known, but it i
thought that because he is a stranger
home people hesitate to employ him,
and yet he can furnish fine references
and his people have been identified with
the business of the city long enough and
well enough to entitle him to considera-
ton. 1t is to be regretted that such a
situation should prevail and for the good
Of the city and general confidence it is
matter of anxiety with the Telegram
lest the incident is indicative of less &c
tivity than formerly prevailed.

Disciples of Ingelow.

Thirty-four young ladies from Reyn-
oldsville, composing the Ingelow Club,
formed trolley party last Wednesday
afternoon and came to Punxsutawney,
where they took six o'clock dinner at
the Pantall Hotel. They arrived here
about three o'clock and from that hour
until their departure, late in the even
ing, business was at a standstill in PUNK
sutawney. So much grace, beauty and
talent on the streets at that hour OF the
day is unusual here. or course it is an
ordinary occurrence in the evenings
when it is possible to see dozen such
bevys passing up the avenue in rapid
succession. The young ladies evidently
enjoyed the outing and Punxsutawney
has reasons to feel honored by their
visit. t.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

to-day than for the past several days.
Quotations reduced &c.
In the future market the bulls were
once more in the ascendency. Liver
pool came in with bullish reports fol-
lowed by an advance in New York.
The local market responded with an
opening advance of 80 points in July;
August, Il; September, 49, October 5,
and the more distant positions points
each. After the opening a further i'm
provement took place. The advance
was in the nature of a reaction after
the sensational declines of the last two
days. There was much taking of prof
it's by those who had done the selling
since the opening of the week and this
buying gave the market it's strongest
support. The market sold off 10 to 20
points, but thereafter recovered most
of the loss and closed with net gains

SPIRITS. The domestic demand for
turpentine was a good one to-day, and
the closing was currently reported as
satisfactory in tone. The opening was
firm at 471sc, sales III casks, and the
closing steady at 47Ac, sales of 527
casks. One element of the quotation
insisted upon an official posting of
steady, whereas the factors insisted the
tone should be firm on the closing sales.
The demand was not understood to be
general, but was confined to a few ex-
porters, who took a large share of the
offerings. All through this season the
domestic demand has been a good one,
with the takings for home account cut
ting an important figure In the daily
movement. The receipts were 867 casks,
and the exports 1887 casks.
ROSINS. The rosin market opened
firm and unchanged, sales 1879 barrels,
and closed firm and unchanged, no
sales. The demand was moderate, and
the day closed without finding the Of
ferings in factors hands taken. The
accumulation is by no means unwieldy,
however, and no uneasiness is express

day were 2,O47 barrels and the exports

was largely ascribed to the work of
the bear clique, with a view of de-
throning the New Orleans bull leader,
who was out with an emphatic denial

prior to this denial the ground was
taken that the position of the bull pool
still was impregnable and that the
market would soon recover. In short,
the attempt to force down the near
months was sure to fail to the extent
of keeping them down. Extreme eau
