This isproof to our mind that we kill

the re-action, a firm tone which lasted
until the close, was imparted to the
dealings. Reading, Manhattan and
Western Union, were the special fea
tures of the trading, the advance on
the first two being something phe
nomenal, j The opening was very
strong, the advances over yesterday's
final figures ranging up to If per
cent in 'Richmond & West Point.
The market was extremely active and
E rices jumped up very sharply, Man

The re-action was equally as sudden,
the end of business the excitement
of the stock market subsided and the

was over estimated.

was no, benefit to bC'gained from the New York, Sep
settlement except that. which might
accrue to the creditors of the B. &
O. They are essentially the same
parties who have taken preferred
Stock and bonds and it! is simply a
matter of bonding the floating debt.
This may have saved the B. & O.
from going into a receiver's hands on
account of the floating debt but that
is all that has been done.
I So far as the telegraph settlement
is concerned that is farther away
now than ever. The Baltimore &
Ohio is now in strong hands and will
be run in conjunction with the Penn
sylvania and Reading for the benefit
of the latter; and if Mr.j Gould iauys
the telegraph system it will be on the
syndicate's terms and there may be a
fight of years before a consolidation
is made.

I think you voiced the sentiment of ''
the people of this city and others in '
the btate; who are interested in the
matter, when you said in yesterday's
issue that some effort should be made
at'onco tio learn from tho President
what his I intentions may be in refer
ence to attending our State fair to bo
held next month. It is to be hoped
that some immediate effort will be
made in this direction.
Would it not be well for you to
urge the appointment by tho city or
the Agricultural folks of some one
(not a delegation) to go to Washing
ton to press the invitation already
made to the President, and to learn
from him what his intentions in the
matter may be? I think this course
would be prudent, since the Presi-
dent is being pressed to accept so
many invitation. r mi

That is to say your lungs. Also all

When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
yohr lungs cannot half do the work.
Ami what they do they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia,

A colored man named R. H. Alston
was wanted, but it seems he got an
inkling of what was going on and
left the city before the police could
catch him. In the preliminary trial
before the Mayor it was learned that
on one occasion Jeffries,, while haul

Hatcher, another colored drayman,
and got him to take two barrels of
sugar to RJ H. Alston's store. On
another occasion one barrel was de

Emerr paid $12.00 for the barrel
of sugar and sold it to a baker in the
city for $21.45. The sugar delivered
to Alston, it is supposed, .was sold at

Jeffries. Emery was arrested for re
