Brooklyn, May 4. Alter the long
meter coxology and appropriate hymns had
been "sung by the congregation, in the
Academy of Music, and prayer had been
offered. Dr. Talmage preached on "Narrow
Escapes," taking as his text Job xix20, "I
am escaped with the skin of my teeth."
Following is his sermon in full:
Job had it hard. What with boils and be
reavements and nankruptcy, and a fool of a
wife, he wished be was dead; and I do Lot
blame him. His flesh was gone, and his bones
were dry. His teetli wasted away until nothing
bat the enamel seemed left. Ha cries out, "I
am escaped with the skin of my teeth." There
has been some difference of opinion about this
passage. St Jerome and Scbultens, and
Drs. Good and Foole and Barnes,
hare all tried their forceps on Job's teeth. You
deny my interpretation, and say. "What did
Job know about the enamel of the teeth 7'' He
knew everything about it. Dental surgery Is
almost as old as the earth. The mummies of
Egypt- thousands of years oM. are found with
gold-filling in their teeth. Ovid and Horace
and Solomon and Moses wrote about these im
portant factors of the body. To other provok
ing complaints. Job, I think, has added an exas
perating toothache, and putting his band
against the inflamed face, he says, "I am es
caped with the skin of my teeth."
A Tery narrow escape, you say, for J ob's body
andsonl; but there are thousands of men who
make just as narrow escapes for their soul.
There was a time when the partition between
them and ruin was no thicker than a tooth's
enamel: bat as Job finally escaped, so have
iney. xnauK uoa: mau&uoa:
SATED AS Br FIEE.
Paul expresses the same idea by a different
figure when be says that some people are
"saved as by fire." A vessel at sea Is in flames.
You go to the stern of the vessel. The boats
have shoved off. Tho flames advance: you can
endure the beat no longer on your face. Ynu
slide down on the side of the vessel, and hold
on with your fingers until the forked tongue of
the fire begins to lick the back of your hand,
and you feci that you must fall, when one of
the lifeboats comes back and the passengers
say they think they have room for one more.
The boat swings under you, you drop into it,
you are saved. So some men are pursued bv
temptation until they are partially consumed,
but, after all. get off "saved as by Arc." But
I like the figure of Job a little better than that
of Paul, because the pulpit has not worn it
out; and I want to show ) ou. if God will help,
that some men make narrow escape for their
souls, and are saved as '-with the skin of their
teeth."
It is as easy for some people to look to the
Cros as for you to look to this pulpit. Mild,
gentle, tractable, loving, jou expect them to
become Christians. You go over to the store
and say. "Grandon joined the church jester
day." Your business comrades say, "That is
jnst what micht have been expected; he always
was of that turn of mind " In youth, tbis per
son whom I describe was always good. He
never broke things. He never laughed when it
was improper to langh. At 7. he could sit an
hour in church, perf ectly quiet, looking neither
to the right hand nor to the left, but straight
into the eyes of the minister, as though he un
derstood the whole discussion about the
eternal decrees. He never upset things nor
lost them. He floated into the kingdom of
God so gradually that it is uncertain just when
the matter was decided.
Here is another one. who started in life with
an uncontrollable spirit. He kept the nursery
In an uproar. His mother found him walking
on the edge of the house-roof to see if he could
balance himself. There was no horse that
ha dared not ride no tree he could not climb.
His boyhood was a long
SERIES OP medicaments;
his manhood was reckless; his mid-life very
wayward. But now he is converted, and you
go over to the store and say, "Arkwright joined
the chnrch yesterday." Your friends say, "It
Is not possible! You must be joking." You
say: "No; I teU you the truth. He joined the
church." Then they reply, 'There is hepe for
any of us if old Arkwright has become a Chris
tian!" In other words, we will admit that it is
more difficult for some men to accept the
gospel than for others.
I may be preaching to some who have cut
loose from churches and Bibles and Sundays,
ana who have come in here w ith no intention
of becoming Christians themselves, bnt just to
see what is going on; and yet j ou may find your
self escaping, before you leave this house, as
'with the skin of your teeth." I do not expect
to waste this hour. I have seen boats go off irom
Cape May or Long Branch, and drop their nets,
and after awhile come ashore, pulling in the
nets, without havinc cauirht a sinrl fish Tt
was not a good day, or they had not the right
kind of a net. But we expect no such excur
sion to-day. The water is full of fish, the wind
is in the right direction, the gospel net is
strong. Oh Thou who didst help Simon and
Andrew to fish, show us to-day how to cast the
net on the ncht side of thn shin'
Some of you, incoming to God, will have to
run against skeptical notions. It is useless for
people to say sharp and cutting things to those
who reject the Christian religion. I cannot say
such things. By what process of temptation or
trial or betrayal you have come to your present
state I know not. There are two gates to your
nature the gate of the head and the gate of
the heart. The gate of your head is locked
with bolts and bars that an archangel could
much in it! Do you not think, upon tho
whole, that Its influence has been beneficent?
I come to you with both bands extended toward
you. In one hand I have the Bible, in the other
I have nothing. This Bible, in one hand I will
surrender for ever just as soon as in my other
hand you can put a book that is better. To
day I invite yon back into the good old
fashioned religion of yonr fathers to the God
whom tbey worshipped, to tbe Bible they read,
to tbe promises on which tbey leaned, to tba
cross on which they hnngtheir eternal expecta
tions. You have not been happy a day since
you swung oil: you will not be happy a minute
until you swing back.
Again: There may be some of you wbo, in tbe
attempt after a Christian life, will have to run
against powerful passions and appetite. Per
haps it is a disposition to anger that you have
to contend against: and perhaps, while in a very
serious mood, you hear of something that
makes you feel that you must swear or die. I
know a Christian man who was once so ex
asperated that he said to a mean customer, "I
cannot swear at jou myself, for I am a member
of the church; but ir you will go down stairs
my partner in business will swear at you." All
your good resolutions heretofore have been

swings easily on its hinges. If I assaulted your
body with weapons you would meet me with
weapons, and it would be sword stroke for
sword stroke, and wound for wound, and blood
for blood; but if I come and knock at the door
of your house you open it and give me the best
seat in your parlor. If I should come to you
now with an argument you would answer me
with argument: if with sarcasm you would meet
me with sarcasm; blow for blow, stroke for
stroke: but when I come and knock at the door
of yonr heart you open it and say, "Come in
my brother, and tell me all you know about
Christ and heaven."
Listen to tn o or three questions! Are you as
happy as you used to be when you believed In
the truth of the Christian religion? Would
you like to have your children travel on in tho
road in which you are now traveling! You had
a relative who professed to be a Christian and
was thoroughly consistent, living and dying in
the faith of the gospel. Would you not like to
live tbe same quiet life, and die the same
peaceful death! I have a letter, sent roe bv
one who has rejected the Christian religion. It
saj s: "I am old enough to know that the joys
and pleasures of life are evanescent and to
realize the fact that it must be comfortable, in
ola age to believe in something relative to the
future, and to have a faith in some system
that proposes to save. I am free to
comess mat j. would be happier if I
could exercise the simple and beantiful faith
that is possessed bv many whom I know I
P not willingly out of the church or out of
tbe faith. My state of uncertainty is one of
unrest. Sometimes 1 doubt my immortality
and look upon the death-bed as the closing
scene, after which there is nothing. What shall
I do that I baye not doner Ah! skepticism is
a dark and doleful land. Let me say that this
Bible is either true or false. If it be false, we
are as well off as you; if it be true, then which
of us is safer?
Let me also ask whether your trouble has not
been that you confounded Christianity with
the inconsistent character of some wbo profess
it? You are a lawyer. In your profesion
there are mean and dishonest men. Is that
anything against the law? You are a doctor
There arc unskilled and contemptible men in
your profession. Is tbat anything against
medicine? You are a merchant. There are
THIEVES AND DEFRAUDEES
in your business. Is that anything against
merchandise? Behold, then, the unfairness of
charging upon Christianity the wickedness of
Its disciples. We admit some of the charges
against those who profess religion. Some of
the most gigantic swindles of the present day
have been carried on by members of the
church. There are men standing in the front
rank in the churches wbo would not be trusted
for $5 without good collateral security. They
leave their business dishonesties in the vesri-
ouie oi mo church as they go in and sit at tbe
communion. Having concluded the sacra
ment, they get up. wipe the wine from their
lips, go out, and take up their sins where they
left off. To serve the devil is their regular
work: to servo God. a sort of play-spelL With
a Sunday sponge tbey expect to wipe off from
their business slate all the past week's iucon
sistencies. You have no more right to take
such a man's lire as a specimen of religion than
you have to take tbe twisted irons and split
timbers that lie on tbe beach at Coney Island
..umra oi an American snip. It is time
that we draw a line between religion and the
Xrallties of those who profess it.
Do you not feel that the Bible, take Itall.in
sol, is about the best book that the world has
ever seen? Do yon know any book that has as

by explosion of temper. Now there is no barm
in getting mad if you only get mad at sin. You
need to bridle and saddle those hot-breathed
passions, and with them ride down injustice
and wrong. There are a thousand things in the
world that we ought to be mad at. There is.no
harm In getting red-hot if you only bring to the
forge that which needs hammering. A man
wbo has no power of righteous indignation is
an imbecile. But be sure it is a righteous in
dignation, and not a pctulancy that blurs and
unravels and depletes the soul.
There is a large class of persons in mid-life
who have still in them appetites tbat were
aroused in early manhood, at a time when tbev
prided themselves on being a "little fast,"
"high livers." "free and easy," "hail-fellow
well met." Thev are now paying, in compound
interest, for troubles they collected 20 years
ago. Some of you are trying to escape, and
you will yet very narrowlv. "as with the skin
of your teeth." God and your own soul only
know what the struggle is. Omnipotent grace
has pulled out many a soul that was deeper in
the mire than you are. They line the beach of
heaven the multitude wnom God has rescued
from the thrall of suicidal habits. If you this
day turn your back on the wrong and start
anew God will help you.
If. with all tbe influences favorable for a
right Hie, men make so many mistakes, bow
much harder it is when, for instance, some
appetite thrusts Its iron grapple into the roots
of the tongue, and pulls a man down with
hands of destruction! If. under such circum
stances, he break away, there will be no sport
in tbe undertaking, no holiday enjoyment, but
a struggle in which tbe wrestlers move from
side to side, and bend and twist, and watch for
an opporrunity to get in a heavier stroke, until
with one final effort, in which tbe muscles are
distended, and tbe veins stand out, and the
blood starts, tbe swarthy habit falls under the
knee of the victor escaped at last as "with the
EKin oi nis teetn."
There are men wbo have been capsized of
of evil passions, and capsized mid-ocean, and
tbey are a thousand miles away from any
shore of help. They have for years been try
ing to dig their way out They have been dig
ging away, and digging away, but they can
never be delivered unless they will hoist
SOME SIGNAL OF -DISTRESS.
However weak and feeble It may be, Christ
will see it, and bear down upon tho helpless
craft and take them on board; and it will be
known in earth and in heaven how narrowly
tbey escaped "escaped as with the skin of
their teeth." There are others who in at
tempting to come to God must run be
tween a great many business perplexities.
It a man go over to business at 10
o'clock in the morning, and come away at 3
o'clock in the afternoon, he has some time for
religion; but how shall you find time for relig
ious contemplation when you aro driven from
sunrise to sunset and have been for five years
going behind in business, and are frequently
dnnned by creditors whom you cannot pay, and
when, from Monday morning until Saturday
night you are dodging bills that you cannot
meet? You walk day by day in uncertainties
that have kept your brain on fire for the past
three years. Some wltbl ess business troubles
than vou have gone crazy. The clerk has heard
a noise lu the back counting room and gone in
and found the chief man of i he firm a raving
maniac; or the wife has heard the bang
oi a pistol in ine oacK rianor and gone
in stumbling over the dead boay or
her husband a suicide. There are
in this house to-dav 300 men pursued, harassed,
trodden down, and scalped, of business per
plexities, and which way to turn next they do
not know. Now God will not be hard on you.
He knows what obstacles are in tbe way of
your being a Christian, and your first effort in
the right direction He will cron with success.
Do not let Satau, with cotton bales and kegs
and hogsheads and counters and stocks of un
salable goods block up your way to heaven.
Gatber up all your energies. Tighten tbe
girdle about your loins. Take an agonizing
look into tbe face of God, and then say, "Here
goes one grand effort lor life, eternal I" and
then bound away for heaven, escaping as "with
tbe skin of your teeth."
In tbe last day it will be found that Hugh
Latimer and Jobn Knox and Huss and Ridley
were not tbe greatest martyrs, hut Christian
men who went up incorrupt from the contami
nations and perplexities of- Wall street Water
street Pearl street. Broad street State street
and Third street On earth they were called
bi okers, or stock-jobbers, or retailers, or im
porters; but in heaven Christian heroes. No
lagots were heaped about their feet; no inquisi
tion demanded from them recantation: no sol
dier aimed a pike at their heart: but thev had
mental tortures, compared with which all physi
cal consuming is as the breath of a spring
morning.
A PERSECUTED CLASS.
I find in the community a large class of men
who have been so cheated, so lied about so
outrageously wronged, that they have lost their
faith in everything. In a world where every
thing seems so topsy-turvoy they do not see
how there can be any God. They are confound
ed and frenzied and misanthropic. Elaborate
arguments to prove to them the truth of Chris
tianity, or the truth of anything else, touch
them nowhere. Hear me. all such men. 1
preach to you no rounded periods, no ornamen
tal discourse, but put my hand on your shoul
der and invite you into tbe peace of tbe gospel.
Here is a rock on which you may stand firm,
though tbe waves dash against it harder than
tbe Atlantic pitching its surf clear above Ed
dystone Lighthouse. Du not charge upon God
all these troubles of the world. As long as tbe
world stuck to God, God stuck to the world;
but the earth seceded from His government,
and henco all these outrages and all these woes.
God is good. For many hundreds of years He.
has been coaxing tbe world to come back to
Him: but tbe more He has coaxed, the more
violent have men been in their resistance, and
they have stepped back and stepped back until
tbey have dropped into ruin.
Try this God, ye who have had the blood
hounds after you, and who have thought that
God had forgotten you. Try Him and see if
He will not help. Try Him and see if He will
not pardon. Try Him and see if He will not
save. The flowers of spring have no bloom so
sweet as the flowering of Christ's affections.
The sun batb no warmth compared with the
glow of His heart The waters have no re
freshment like the fountain that will slake the
thirst of thy soul. At the moment tbe rein
deer stands with bis Up and nostril tbrust in
the cool mountain torrent tbe hunter may be
coming through the thicket Without crack
ling a stick under his foot he .comes close by
the stag, aims his gun, draws the trigger and
the poor thing rears in its death agony and falls
backward, its antlers crashing on the rocks;
but the panting heart tbat drinks from the
water brooks of God'spromise shall never be
lauuiy wouuaea ana snail never die.

Bedford. May 4. "While the contest be

coming county convention decidedly inter
estiiif; the question of instructing delegates
to the State Convention is just now occupy
ing the attention of the politicians. The

Charles "W". Stone is anxious for the dele

It would be very mortifying to the latter if

that J. D. Hicks', who has Blair county's

Atlanta, May 4. At the European
Hotel to-day M. Goldman, of Memphis,
shot J. "W. Howard, of St. Louis, and How
ard will die. Both men are strangers here
and there is a mystery over the shooting
which is yet unsolved. Howard, though
conscious, would pay nothing except that
his real name is Edward Skinner, and his
brother-in-law, named S. O. Doan, is in
Sherman, Tex.
The shooting was deliberately done. The
men came here together and were on appar
ently good terms. They went to Goldman's
room and the door had been closed but a
minute when the shots were heard. Gold
man walked out into the hall, and in the
confusion made his escape. Goldman and
Howard, as thev were known here, had been
in Atlanta at intervals since April 16.
They were believed to be showmen.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices
Choice green stuff is scarce, and prices are
more than maintained. Large quantities of
green stuff have been coming to market in poor
sbape. Good goods readily bring quotations.
The offerings of choice vegetables and berries
were light to-day, and markets were quiet for
me reason that there was not enough to go
around. Choice dairy products are good stock
at prices of last week. Good cabbage is scarce
and higher. Old cheese of high grade is very
scarce, and markets are very firm. Now cheese
is beginning to show up, but is too fresh to
meet the demands of trade. Tropical fruits of
choice quality are firm. Potatoes are quiet,
good stock is firmly held at quotations. Mar
kets have been overdosed with inferior pota
toes the pist week, and the rosult is general
depression. Holders of good stock arc, how
ever, very firm in their views of values, and
show no disposition to concede.

Old-Faahloned Calfskin Asnln In Fashion
Prices Here and Elsewhere.
The market for buff bides has been very act
ive the past week. There has been an advance
or c per lb. Heavy hides are nrm,.but bare
not shared in tbe upward movement The Ut
ter, however, did not share In tbe downward
movement of last winter. Calfskins are also
in good demand and prices are lc per lb. above
the lowest figure reached two or three months
ago. A leading Allegheny tanner express?d
himself as follows to-day: "1 cannot under
stand the great activity in calfskin trade.
ana advancing prices except on tbe theory
tbat the e onsumption of split leather is falling
off and consumers are going back to the good
old ways.
"It looks as though the old-fashioned calf
skin shoe was coming into fashion again, and I
would not be surprised to see calfskins going
up to old-time prices. Certainly the present
drift is in that direction."
The jobbing season for harness leather is
about over, until fall orders come in. which
will be early in July, according to precedent
Tho Allegheny tanners report stock as well
cleaned up for this time of the year. Tbe same
reports come from Cincinnati and Louisville,
where harness leather tanning are large inter
ests. Advices from tbe West are that the fall
trade will probably open earlier this season.
Our tanners look for fall orders by the mid
dle of June. From now until tbat time stock
is likely to accumulate,accofdinr to experience
of former vears.
From Boston comes the report of Tery firm
leather markets, and on tbe whole the outlook
has never been better at tbis season of tbe year
for a healthy hide and leather trade.
Tallow is a drug at old prices.

An Iowa Dlnn's Experience in Buying nnd
Selling Pomtoes.
Walter Peck, of lndlanola, la., was in the
city to-day trying to dispose of three car loads
of potatoes from that prolific region. In
dianola is a prosperous young town 20 miles
south or Des Moines, and is a center for one of
the most fertile sections of the Empire Stats of
tho West Mr. Peck gave his views of the
situation as follows: "In lndlanola, tbe price
of potatoes is 25c per bushel, and no better
were ever grown. Last fall they were sold as
low as 9c per bushel in our town, and slow at
tbat
Tho crop of potatoes in Central Iowa
last season was fair, but not extra large.
Tom aw to 250 bushels to tbe
acre was tbo average yield. 1 have heard of
400 bushels to the acre, in former seasons, but
do not think this amount was reached last sea
son, ineireignt on potatoes from lndlanola
tn Pittsburg is 21Kc per bushel, making the lay
down price here 46Jc A month ago I brought
three car loads to this market and did well
enough to try it over again. Last
season was a good one for apples around
lndlanola, and prices tbere tor the best are 25
to 35c per bushel. Two-year-old beeves are
selling in Central Iowa at $2 to S2 25 per cwt
Hogs bring within 5 to 10c per hundred of
Chicago prices. Poultry brings 4c per pound,
and spring chickens $2 40 per dozen. Eggs are
about as high in lndlanola as Pittsburg.
"I have found nothing in this city much be
low prices in Central Iowa, excepting horse
flesh. In my section the raising of fine draught
horses has become a specialty of late years,
and I find from investigation that we can get
better prices at home than people are willing
to pay here for a first-class team of horses."

CHICAGO There was an Immense trade to
day tn wbeat, and tbe market was an unusually
wild one, prices varying so rapidly that jumps
of c to lc were made in May and
June, and He to JJc in July without a trade.
Excitement was at fever heat and so anxious
were buyers at times that offers of Jc to lc
above what previous sales were made at were
rapidly accepted. Buyers fairly jumped for
the wbeat At times tha market was bare of
offerings for May and June, and the sharp ad-'
vance in prices in these deliveries carried up
the more deferred fntures. but tho advance
was not so great as in the nearer futures.
May opened lc higher, and sold up 6c more
reaching 51. then eased off and closed at 5c
higher than yesterday. Up to noon prices
ranged from 94c to 98c, and then jumped to 99c
to SI very quickly. June advanced 6c, and
closed about 4c higher than yesterday. July
was very erratic, and opened from Jcto lc
higher than yesterday's closing, advanced very
irregularly 33Kc more, and closed 3c higher
than yesterday. Orders came pouring in from
all quarters, the majority to buy, though a
good many selling orders were received from
parties, wbo, having profits in their favor, were
disposed to realize. Parties who had sold yes
terday In expectation of lower market on pros
pects of rain, covered freely to-day.
Trading was general and individuality was
almost lost in the shuffle. A prominent trader
nan reported as naving pougnt irceiy ana mere
were some parties wno tnougnt it was "snort'
wheat There was nothing new in tbe situa
tion, the excitement and nervousness being at
tributed to the continued dry weather in the
Northwest and bad crop news. Althougb
cloudy weather was reported in the Northwest
scarcely any rain has fallen with the exception
of a slight shower at Dnluth and St. Paul. Ad
vices from South Dakota report the ground dry
as powder and high winds blowing seed out of
tbe ground. Several dispatches of this tenor
were received from the Northwest To offset
these advices, however, a harvester company
claimed that if rain came within a week or ten
days the crop would be all right Tbe acreage
in the Northwest while smaller In some sections
is larger in others, and may on the whole be as
large as last year.
Tbere was another day of activity witnessed
in corn, the feeling being nervous and unset
tled, prices fluctuating sharply within c
range, lie traue was mainly in Juiy, inougn
there was more doing in August and Septem
ber than on yesterday. Business was in the
main local tbere being less doing on outside ac
count than noted yesterday. There were fran
tic sellers of J uly at 35c around the opening
and tbe market hung around 3435c some
time, afterward declining to 34c up to 35 to
34K34Jc, and final .quotations on all futures
wereac higher than yesterday. Stronger
cables and the advance in wheat were the lead
ing factors.
Oats were active but unsettled, prices fluctu
ating freely within a range of c The con
tinued reports of dry weather in the Northwest
made operators: nervous, and although no ac
tual damage bas resulted, shorts were anxious
to cover and bought freely. Opening sales
were at tbe same to a slight decline from yes
terday's close Offerings were light and the
demand good, both from local and outsiders,
and prices advanced KKc May sold to 26c
and a round lot of 200,000 bushels brought 2CJ
26cat private sale. The advance induced
free selling by longs, and as a good many of the
eariy ouyers naa Doen niiea up, prices receded
Ha but again rallied, and the market closed
steady at a fractional decline from yesterday.
Very little business was transacted In pork.
Early sales were made at Friday's closing fig
ures and a few transactions were made later
at 1015c advance. Toward the close the feel
ing was easier and prices settled back again,
closing quiet
A fair business was done in lard, bnt the
feeling was unsettled. Prices ruled 57c
lower, and the market closed tame at medium
figures.

interest centering in July. Prices declined 5

Insignificant 'Changes.
New York, May 3. The stock market was
quiet to-day in comparison with the large busi
ness of late. It remained feverish with no
marked changes except in a few shares, which
wore affected by special influences. This was
most marked in tbe granger stocks, Lacka
wanna, Oregon and Transcontinental, Manhat
tan and Wheeling and Lake Erie, both pre
ferred and common. Trading to-day was of a
professional character, but the pressure was
from Chicago. While tbere was a good demand
for specialties there was a feeling of disap
pointment about the condition of the railroad
war. There is nothing to show that the settle
ment contemplated is intended to cover any
thing but passenger business, while the war of
freights, which represents tbe most important
part of the railroads earnings, Is likely to con
tinue.
The market was up and down within narrow
limits, wiih no movement at all worthy of note
in the general list, and only in a few special
ties was there anything like life. Oregon Im
provement, the Chicago, St Louis and Pitts
burg stocks and one or two others made sham
upward spurts, bnt these constituted the only
features in tbe trading. Tbera was a better
tone developed toward the close on tbe scarcity
of stocks offering, and tbe close was fairly act
ive and firm at insignificant changes for tbe
day. St Paul, Atchison, Oregon Transconti
nental and Richmond and West Point were the
active stocks.

Strong Undertone to Local Securities, bnt
Business Slow.
There was a dull but strong stock market
Saturday. Sales were 60 shares. Philadelphia
Gas and Airbrake scored handsome advances,
the latter moving up SI a share. Westingbouse
Electric, Switch, Bridgewater and Wheeling
Gas were among the other good features. The
tractions were practically unchanged and neg
lected. There was the usual Saturday bidding
on bank and insurance stocks, with tbe usual
Saturday result holders refusing the terms.
There is every indication of increased activity
as soon as a settlement of the labor trouble
shall be effected, but in tbe meantime both
sides are disposed to move cautiously to avoid
entanglements. Buyers are a little under the
market and holders refuse concessions on the
ground that there is nothing calling for a sacri
fice. This places the market in awaiting atti
tude, with very little stimulus needed to give it"
an upward direction.
Sales were 10 shares Westinrhnnsn PTlei-trli.
at 43, and 50 Philadelphia Gas at 32.

Some of tbe Local Bunks Closely Loaned
Up Encouraging Figures.
Said a Wood street bank cashier Saturday:
"This mornlngl was telephoned by a neighbor
ing bank if I wanted a good loan of $20,000. 1
replied that we were a little short, and referred
the Inquirer to two other banks. The answer
came back that both of these institutions had
been applied to and tbat neither was in a po
sition to take the paper. I mention this inci
dent to show you that a few of the banks are
pretty closely loaned up. There is no dearth
of money, however, for regular business pur
poses. Tbe fact that funds are actively em
ployed shows a prosperous condition of busi
ness." Tbo Clearing House report, while not so
good as tbat of the previous week, was any
thing but discouraging.) The week's clearings
were Si.000.900 in excess of those of the corre
sponding time last year, which, however, was
only a five-day week. Still, the ira'n is suf
ficient to show a steady expansion of business,
which promises to increase as the season ad
vances and disturbing influences are removed.
Tbere is nothing in sight to cause mistrust of
the future. Tbe following is Manager Chap

WASHlNGTON,PA.,May 4. Annie Knes
trick, a domestic in the employ of David
McQuay, of the West End, was probably
fatally burned last night by tbe explosion of
a lamp. She was carrying 'the lamb up
stairs when the explosion occurred, setting
fire to ber clothing. She ran downstairs,
where the family was, and tbe flames were
extinguished, bnt not before she was terribly
burned from her yfaist np.
A physician was called, who stated that
she had inhaled the flames, and would likely
die. She is still living, but suffering intensely.
