PITTSBURG, April 12.-Rev. DR.. Charles
r. Zahniser, pastor of the Third Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church of this city, who
returned today from a meeting of Union
Presbytery of the Cumberland Church, held
at Vanderbilt, Pa. yesterday, reports that
the Presbytery decided in favor of union

Is to 3.
DR.. Zahinser says the action Of Union
Fresbytery virtually decides the question
of union as far as the Cumberland denomi-
nation is concerned. One week ago about
fifteen Presbyteries had not voted, but
since that time several have taken action.
The vote of the union yesterday gives
the Presbyteries in favor of union a lead

byteries yet to vote. II all decided against
the union movement.

extensively as factor In the trading dur
ing the call. Then four $1,000 lots were sold
at S9ss.
After call, however, there were some
so, 600 bonds sold. and the range of prices
was s91s TO sos. The prices were on about
the same level as that which have ruled for
some days past.
The most animated selling was In the 6
per cent debentures of the United States
Electric Company, as there were twelve
$1,000 lots sold at 1861, an advance over
the bid price of yesterday of half point.
Altogether some $4,000 Of these bonds were
taken at that price.
When the supply was exhausted on that
range additional bonds were taken at 1O5sA
and 1861. A bid of 1O55s was made for
$4,000 and then it was advanced one
eighth, but without result.
At the close the bid was 1O5%, and the
asking price was 1861. A bid of 1861 was
made for $4,000. or any part. The aggre-
gate Of the sales reached $4,000.
The trading in telephone per cent bonds
was more active than usual and the prices
ranged from 1O7A to 1075s. At the close the
bid was 1O11s and the asking price was 1OS

10TH was asked.
Twenty shares of Capital Traction Com

to the extent of about 400 shares from
93A to 93h, and at the close the latter was
bid and "a was asked.
There was still less done in the common
stock, although it was offered at lower
figures than have prevailed since the down.
ward movement started. The stock was
offered in large or small amounts at 36A,
and when no purchaser appeared the broker
who made the offer bid 3634 for fifty shares
and offered them at 81.
A still lower offering resulted in a sale at
3612, and an offer was made to buy or sell
on that level, but without result. A block
of 500 shares was offered at 36A, but even
that failed to arouse a buying interest. A
sale of fifty shares was made at 36A.
An offering of 1000 shares was made
al 36b, and finally a sale of fifty shares
was made at that price. The bid at the
close was SO and 36B was asked.

Dove Shooting in Randolph.

Numerous Randolph people are
complaining because doves arc being
shot in the central part of the town,
and it seems there is just cause for
complaint Not only does the shoot
ing mean slaughter of birds which
somebody may prize as pets, but the
life Of men is endangered by stray bull
lets. The doves find roOsting places
on the covered part of the bridge and
on the roofs of nearby buildings. The
grist mill is naturally a favorite place
for the birds because they find plenty
of food there.
II is said that the persons who, from
hiding places shoot the doves, are not
all young boys, but include many who
are old enough to know better.
The practice has been carried on for
some time and is considered now to be
a menace to the safety of the public
as we'll as an outrage to the people
who own the doves. Unless the shoot
ing is speedily stopped, stringent meas
urcs will undoubtedly be taken by the
authorities.
