THE OLD FLAG.
Though many and bright are the stars that
aprear i ..
In the flag ot our country untuned;
And the stripes that are Bwclling in majesty
tliero
Like rainbows adorning the world;
Their licht is unsullied, as those in the sky,
By a deed that our fathers have done.
And they're leagued in as true and holy a tie
In that motto of "many in one."
In the death of General John P. frartranf t
the Grand Army loses a prominent and
active worker. He was the fourth Commander-in-Chief
of the organisation. He
served the term of 1875-76. His life and
war record have been published by the daily
papers, and it will not be necessary to give
them here; but one feature of his soldier
career has not been published recently, one
which is decidedly interesting. General
Hartranft was the hero of one of the most
brilliant charges recorded in history.
His regiraent.the Fifty-first Pennsylvania
Infantry, achieved historio prominence at
Antietam. Here the famous charge across
the stone bridge which spans Antietam creek
was made by the Fif ty-flrst Pennsylvania under
the command of Hartranft, then Colonel,
assisted by the Fifty-flrst New York, under
command of Colonel Robert B. Potter. The
enemy's rifle pits and batteries commanded the
approach to the bridge; but, after repeated at
tempts by other troops, Colonel Hartranft led
his regiment across the narrow roadway of the
span and gained a position on the opposite side.
This remarkably daring piece of work brought
Colonel Hartranft into prominent notice, and
lie was shortly made a Brigadier General.
The Loyal Lesion.
Last Wednesday was a busy day for the com
panions of the Loral Legion in Philadelphia.
The National Commandery held an all day
meet ng and transacted considerable important
business. Officers for the ensuing year were
elected, among them ex-President Rutherford
B. Hayes as Commander-in-Chief. In the
evening the regular quarterly meeting of the
Pennsylvania Commandery was held in the
Union League Club building. Over 200 were
present, or whom were the following from
Pittsburg: Joseph F. Denniston, W. Si Foster,
W. G. McCandlass, William McClelland. Will
lam McConway and D. M. Watt. General
Hartranft was remembered, and a telegram of
sympathy directed to be sent to him. Few of the
companions had any thought his end was so near.
The names of four dropped companions were
restored to the roll, and 40 new ones elected.
Ot the former was Colonel S. M. Jackson, of
.Apollo, while of the latter Western Pennsyl
vania furnished the following named: Robert
P. Crawford, P. F. Hodge, Hillis McCown, W.
J. Patterson. James Sheafer, James P. Speer,

burg; W. B. Kroesen, Etna;T. B. Lasbell, Mead
ville; W. H. Longwell, Oil City, and Charles C.
TownBeud, New Brifrnton. A banquet was par
taken of, which surpassed any previously pro
Aided. There were speeches and songs and a
general good time.
At the last meeting the following named
were elected: F. H. Collier, John lowing,
Thomas W. Fitch, Hartley Howard, John J.
Lawrence, A. S. il. Morgan, J. B. Murdoch,
M. Speer, Robert E. Stewart and E. & Wright,
ot Pittsburg, and Aaron T. Gregg, of Mononga
hela City. It is expected tnere will be addi
tions to these at the regular February meet
ing. Reunion of the ScTenty-Elffblh
The reunion of the Seventy-Eighth Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, held at Punisutawney, Pa.,
last Wednesday, was a successful affair in
every particular. The town was handsomely
decorated. The citizens of Punxsutawney
generously provided for the survivors of the
regiment at the hotels. One hundred and
tixty members were present
Steps were taken to erect a monument over
the grave of Colonel William SiruelL The old
officers of the association were re-elected, and
the time and place for holding the next reunion
ot the regiment were referred to the Executive
Committee, but from all indications Butler will
be selected as the place. The Secretary of the
organization. Comrade H. H. Bengough. of this
city, was strongly and heartily indorsed by
ringing resolutions for appointment as Pension
Acent in this city when a change occurs.
The Executive Committee of the organization
is composed of Comrades Elwood and Ben
gough, of this city; Lowry, of Butler; Gillespie,
of h reeport; Kueent, of Grant; Crawford, of
Kittanmnc: Hiiberry, of Indiana, and ju. J.
Dinsmore, of Punxsutawuey.
A Pleasant Entertainment.
Garey Circle, No. 7. Ladies of the G. A. B,.
held an entertainment last Tuesday evening at
Grand Army Hall, Thirty-first ward. Hisses
Fisher and Loomis and the Kennedy Children
furnished excellent vocal entertainment.
Recitations were contributed by Misses Bur
nett and Hughes. A Stump speech was deliv
ered by Jack Fariow. Mr. Gowen furnished
come plantation melodies which were very en
joyable. Miss Lulu Denny contributed some
select reading. The music was furnished by
tbe Parlor Quartet, Prof. Thoma. The affair
was highly buccessful and enjoyable in every
way. Much credit is due the ladies of the
circle.

AHIYE OF INDUSTEY.
Lively Times at the New Town of
Wilmerdinfr. Which Has Been
us
CHRISTENED EAST PITTSBURG.
Country Eoads Unimproved, and Danger of
Another Had Blockade.
HOUSE BUILDING GOES BEAYELT ON
Things are lively out at the new town of
Wilmerding. It has lately been christ
ened East Pittsburg. Lots are selling rap
idly at the rate of 545 a front foot. Build
ings are going up as if by magic The
place will soon be large enough for a bor
ough, If not for a city of the second class.
Its rapid growth is casting a shadow over
Braddock, which has heretofore depended
largely upon that territory for support.
Tbe cause of this sudden rise of a town,
almost unexampled in Western Pennsylva
nia, is to be found in tbe statement of a
gentleman who enjoys the confidence of Mr.
George "Westinghouse. He said yesterday
evening: "Within two years all the West
inghouse interests will be centered at Wilmer
ding, or East Pittsburg, as it is now called.
This will make it one of the greatest manufac
turing centers in the country greater, even,
than Pullman."
Advices from different parts of the country
represent the roads in no better condition than
at this time last year, with a prospect of a gen
eral blockade the coming winter. For this the
people are chiefly to blame. They have been
urged time and time again to stir up tbe
authorities on the subject, but have done little
or nothing. When they find themselves cat off
from the market and their produce rotting in
their cellars and barns they are ready to com
plain, but then it is too late to repair the mis;
chief. Bummer is tbe time to repair roads.
This is a matter that affects the city as well as
the country, as it increases the cost of produce
to the consumer, and concerted action should
be taken to put and keep tho roads in good
condition, to which end the city should stir the
country up. The road laws are not what they
ought to be, but if they were properly carried
out there would be very little cause tor com
plaint of Impassable highways. Allegheny
county is rich enough to have tho best roads in
the State.

Business last week about held its own in vol
ume and distribution, without material change
In values of staple products. Money was strin
gent in the East, where it was subjected to ma
nipulation by the loan crowd, but it was easy
here at 56 on call and 67 on time. There is
an ample supply in the country for commercial
purposes. It is only tbe speculative interest that
feels the pinch. There was. an easier feeling in
the iron trade, but general conditions were un
changed. The feature of chief interest in local
securities was a shrinkage in natural gs
shares, led by the Bndgewater and Philadel
phia companies. Both showed some recovery
at the close. Heal estate was active, with a
large number of sales, some of them Involving
large amounts of money. The outlook is
for an active market tbe rest of the
season. The developmentf of tbe Ar
buckle well was the only event of much
consequence in thepetroleum market. Trading
on 'Change was light, and prices adhered very
closely to the dollar line. Clearing House fig
ures continue to show large gains over last year
in all branches ot legitimate trade.
Tbe lateness ot the season is hurrying up the
builders. Business was good last week. Sixty
two permits were taken out, involving 176,225.
An unusually small number of large houses
appear in tbe list, but this is not to be re
gretted, since there isjjreater need of small
ones. The most important is the Central
Traction Company's building on Wylie avenue,
which will cost 57,000. E. M. Hill was author
ized to put up two brick two-story dwellings on
Margaretta street. They will cost him 110,000.
S. Rauwolf will erect a three-story brick on
Fenn avenue. He thinks it will cost him
10,000. Last but not quite least, L B. Mellon
secured permission to erect two brick two-
story dwellings on Bippey street, at an expense
of $12,000. No one was enterprising enough to
undertake a block. Capitalists must be edu
cated up to that point
Mr. J. F. Pollard is doing a good work for
himself and for the city, at Valley View Place,
where he has just bought from Messrs. Black
& Balrd a number of lots, and will commence
building cottages on them at once. This is his
second or third purchase at the same place.
On the lots first acquired he has erected a num
ber of very handsome dwellings. He proposes
to sell them on small cash payments, the bal
ances like rent. This will afford a good oppor
tunity to many to secure homes. Valley View
is well named, as a magnificent view of the
beautiful East Liberty Valley can be obtained
from any part, of the place. It is very con
venient to Fast Liberty, Lawrenceville and
Sbadyside, and the Penn avenue cable is
within three minutes' walk. Mr. Pollard's ex
ample is encouraging and worthy of imitation.
The outcome of tbe land boom in Southern
California has been to sink a good deal of the
Eastern capital that has been invested there,
and to leave tho country in worse condition, so
far as probable future progress is concerned,
than before the boom. There is no occasion to
pity tbe speculators who work up these booms
in real estate; but they contrive to rope in a
good many honest men who have a little money
to invest and think they see their way to get
ting large returns. The genuine settlers are
suffering severely from high taxes, the assess
ments having been made on tbe basis of an
artificial value, about four times the real value
of to-day. It is the bona fide settlers men who
have bought land to uso or have established
business there who are to be pitied. It is a
good thing that the speculators lose by their
operations. No doubt in time men will learn to
let these land booms alone and to let the towns
alone in which they are being worked,
m
Knowledge is power. Many years ago the
father of a Fourth avenue real estate broker
lived and farmed in West Virginia. He had
tbe best house for miles around. Those were
the days of stage coaches and private convey
ances, for railroads had not been thought of.
Within a mile or two of bim lived several other
farmers, who kept public house, entertaining
man and beast, Travelers, however, frequently
passed them by, captivated by the appearance
of the fine mansion, which towered above tho
surroundings, and were occasionally accom
modated, especially if they were of genteel ap"
pearance and well informed. When they came
to pay their bills they were informed, much to
their surprise, that there was no charge against
them. They had been entertained simply for
tbe sake of tbe Information on the leading
questions of the day that they were supposed
capable of imparting. They filled the office of
the modern newspaper. In this way the farmer
kept himself posted on politics, religious and
social events. He was the oracle of the neigh,
borhood, was honored with office, and by
judicious investment", in which he was fre
quently aided by his guests, became very
wealthy. As a class, American farmers are the
most intelligent in the world, but they cannot
know too much, andshould lose no opportunity
to acquire knowledge, even if they have to pay
something for it It is power to them.
The fashion of placing objects like coins, in
scribed bricks, eta, under or in the corner-stone
of an Important building is very ancient. It is
supposed to have originated with the Chaldeans.
This fashion prevails In America to a greater
extent than elsewhere. In Fittsourg it is a
common occurrence. While it lends a dignity
and a solemnity to the ceremony of laying the
corner-stone of any public edifice, still it has
nothing but its antiquity to recommend it. The
present state of human civilization and happi
ness wouldjnever have been possible If everybody
lived to be half as old as Methuselah. The an
cients bnilded with the idea and hope that their
structures would last as long a9 time continued.
That was a good idea then, and has' been the
means of giving late generations about all the
correct knowledge tbeyhavo of the earliest
civilization. In this fast age, however, the
stateliest buildings often do not outlive the
memory ot some who saw the foundations laid.
Modem buildings seldom serve the purposes
for which they were erected for a period of one
century. The age requires sew things a con-J
fpETHE PPJOTSBUR(?ff DISOSirNDlY, OCTOBER ' '20;
stant Improvement, and old buildings are pulled
down and replaced without any regrets what
ever. If a coin, or any other "relict" of a hun
dred years ago, should be found under the
corner-stone, the circumstance would bo for
gotten by the public in less than a month.
BEGINNING TO EALLT.
Good Trading at tho Stock Exchanco For a
Short Day.
Considerable business was transacted at the
Stock Exchancra vesterdav for a short day,
and the feeling was more buoyant than usual,
indicating that the brokers are seriously think
ing of getting down to work. They had better,
for autumn is flipping away, and tho year will
6oon be a memory. The sales were 683 shares.
Almost the entire list was firm and fraction
ally higher. Central Traction was the weakest,
spot selling down to 8 It closed freely,
offered at that figure. This is hard to under
stand. The road is making rapid progress, and
will be ready for the holiday travel. No more
assessments will be required to complete it It
passes through the best portions of the city,
and taps a country district that is rapidly
settling up. It will undoubtedly have a large
patronage. This should insure good dividends,
in addition to running expenses, interest etc.
Philadelphia gas was fractionally higher and
firm, bids being below the views of
holders, there were no transactions. There
were a. few offlca sales at slight concessions
from Exchange quotations. Tho other natural
gassers were steidy, with no particular change.
Electric was firm and featureless, waiting for
something to turn up. Friends of tbe company
think it will come out triumphant from Its
legal entanglements. Bank and insurance
stocks were firm and inactive, with some ad
vances and no declines.
A broker remarked: "The great tronbre
with stock dealing hero is that brokers hold
out too long for trifles. Instead of selling at
fair profits and making quick turns, as in New
York and Chicago, they niggle and halt over
small fractions, and often miss a sale by it
By adopting a broader policy and paying less
attention to trifles they would do more business
and make more money. The pinching process
works no better in stocks than in drygoods or
groceries, and by pursuing it brokers often
miss a big thing while wasting time over a
small one. Liberality is always rewarded. If
less attention were paid to eighths there would
be more business on 'Change."

Clearing Houao Flonres.
The local money market was easy yesterday.
There was a fair demand for funds, 'and rates
were steady and unchanged. A large amount
of clerical business was transacted. Currency
was still scarce.
Tbe Clearing House statement shows a small
decrease in exchanges for the week as com
pared with last year. This Is easily accounted
for by the decline of speculation. Last year it
was large. Now it Is scarcely taken into ac
count The figures for tbe day, week and year
are:

John M. Oakley & CosWall street corres
pondent wired yesterdaj evening: AH the pro
fessional statisticians bad figured on a loss to
the banks on actual cash ranging from two to
three millions, whereas the bank statement
shows a net gain of over a million in cash.
This great disparity called attention to the un
certainty attending financial estimates, and as
themonev market is tbe cynosure of all eyes
figures relating to it were observed with special
interest The bank statement is made up on a
system of averages, which may be approxi
mately correct in tho long run, but which is
peculiarly unreliable for any ono week. The
stock market is in the clutches of money lend
ers, and quotations which have natural ten
dency to rise are pinioned by usury.
Bankers all agree in saying that there is no
prospect of relief from high interest for weeks
to come, but perchance bankers are to money
what bulls are to stocks, always bullish when
they are high, and the higher tbe quotations
made the more bullish. Human nature is
pretty much the same with bankers as with
other persons. As it was, tbe bank figures for
a moment further stimulated an already stiong
market but the close was at concessions.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, with no loans, closed offered at 1 per cent
Prime mercantile paper, 67. Sterling ex
change quiet and heavy at S4 81 for 60-day

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
Petroleum Winds Up tbe Week Belorr tbe
Dollar Line.
Oil was In an uneasy condition yesterday, with
bearlshinfluencespredomlnatlng.chlef of which
were tbe two new wells recently brought in,and
continued selling in New York. The bullish
factors were greater firmness In refined and in
crease in consumption. Between these two
fies tbe fluctuations were narrow and local
trading light Oil City did most of tho buying.
It eased off just before the close, causing the
market to fall below the dollar line. The open
ing quotation was 100K, tho highest 10 tbe
lowest 89 and the closing 99.
There was no fresh field news of Importance.
Friday's clearings were 206,000 barrels. The
outlook for this week is rather mixed. If New
York remains on the bear side much longer
Oil City will have to back down. Nothing
further was said in regard to the rumored cor
ner. There is not enough oil to make a very
big one.

THE BANE STATEMENT
Has a Good Effect on Railroad Shares
Early Wenkneia Succeeded by Some
Strength Pullman tbe Only Foil.
lively Weak Feature.
New Yobk, October 19. The stock market
was quiet to-day, but feverish and irregular,
with considerable weakness in tbe coal stocks
and Grangers, while the trusts and the rest of
the regular list were in the 'main' firm to
strong. The opening was rather heavy, except
for Cotton Oil, which was up per cent, and
large purchases by a, certain broker aided in
carrying the price of that stock up 1 per cent
farther.
The others followed slowly, but realizing by
tbe traders at tbe top figures Induced some
hammering by the bears, and tbe advances In
the general list were all wiped out with some
thing in addition before the close of the first
hour. Jersey Central and Rock Island were
specially weak at this juncture, the former
dropped to 122 against 124 last evening, and
never recovered the decline. Rock Island lost
ltf to DOM.
The pressure was then removed and price
again rallied, and when tbe bank statement
was Issued, showing an Increase in the surplus
reserve, which brought it up above the legal
requirement, the upward movement became
accelerated. There was too little time left to
establish any marked advances, and tbe closing
Hgures were generally close to those of the
opening.
Among the specialties Pullman gave way
readily, and scored a loss of 2 per cent but
tho market was devoid ot other special
features. Cotton Oil is up 2 per cent to-night,
and Jersey Central is down a like amount,
but the other changes are for Slight fractions
only, with the single exception of Pullman.
Tne railroad bond market was dull again,
sales reaching only S449.0OO, with stagnation as
the only feature. Sales of railroad bonds for
tbe week were $4,357,000, against $1,008,000 last
week.

Tbe Longs Unload and Rattle Things in
the Wheat Fit A Ball and Bear
Fight Over the De
cember Options.
Chicago Trading in wheat was quite heavy
to-day at a lower range of prices. Local opera
tors were on the selling side at tbe opuiing,and
a great deal of long wheat came on tbe market
shorts covered freely, and there was a great
deal done in the way of evening up trades.
Borne local operators formerly on tne bull side
were prominently identified on the selling side.
Opinions differ greatly as to the future course
of tbe market Some houses doing a foreign
business are discouraging selling for the pres
ent A feature of tbe nfarket was the fight be
tween the bull and bear interest around 81c for
December, and 83c far May. Large buying
orders were on tbe market at tbe best prices,
and also touching the former price several
times, but few of the buying orders could be
executed. The market .opened weak at 3Ko
lower, declined &Ac more, held firmly at tbe
close and closed steady about a lower than
yesterday.
A fair trade was transacted in corn. The
feeling was easy early, but later became more
steady. Offerings were fairly better, while de
mand was confined mainly to shorts. The mar
ket opened a shade under yesterday's closing
prices, was easy for a time and sold off slightly,
ruling steady, and closed a shade over yester
day. Oats were active but weaker and lower, due
to good receipts, the weakness and decline in
wheat and selling by longs. There were in
creased offerings and no demand of conse
quence except that from shorts. Prices re
ceded Hlis, and the market closed quiet and
steady.
Less activity manifested in pork, and the
feeling was slightly easier. Prices averaged
2K5c lower, and tbe market closed quiet
A firmer feeling was manifested in lard and
trading was fairly active. Prices ruled 2X5
higher, and the market closed steady at outside
figures.
Trading In ribs was moderate. Prices ruled
about 2K5c lower.

THE LETTER G SAVED IT.
The Destruction of a Cotton Factory Pre
vented by a BXaaosIc Emblem.
Savannah Kews.l
An interesting incident is fold at Jewell's
about the letter "Q," and how it saved a
cotton factory. It was in the brimstone
days of 1864, when Sherman was making
Rome howl in Georiga. His men rode up to
this factory, listened for a minute to the
hum of its spindles, glanced at Mr. Jewell,
the elder, who was standing at the door,
and, -in obedience to their commander,
started to fire the building. At this instant
Mr. Jewell poiuted to the tower oa which
the Masonic sign "G" was printed in very
large tpye.
The leader cried out to his men, "Hold a
minute!" and then, began to exchange signs
with the factory owner. Finding that the
latter was a true Mason, he made his men
march onward to other spoils.
When baby was sick, we gave her Castorla,
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria,
When she became lliss, she clung to Castoria,
Wnen she had Children,she gave them Castoria
