Concerning the reslcnation of Assistant Ad
Jutaut General John McCormlck, a Phila
delphia paper Jn !ts issue or last Sunday printed
a number or statements in which the truth 's
very badly twisted. The statements in ques
tion were evidently written by some one who
fcnew little of the trntb of the matter. Depart
ment Commander Dennlston regrets exceed
insly the publication. Said he: "The article as
a whole is misleading Some of the statements
contained In it are false. There
was no tronble at all, as is alleged in
the article, about Comrade McCormlck's res
ignation. I presented the matter to the Coun
cil of Administration and Mr. McCoimlcK
purely as a buInes matter. Mr. MrCormlok
had not time to properly discharge the duties
of his 'race, and when tliocaeas stated he
did not hrsltite about resigning-, considering It

"1 mean every word of that letter," (aid
Major Denniston. "McCormick is a conscien
tious and bard worker and has been very kind
to me. I am sorry that his resignation was a
necessity. I strongly denrecate the misrepre
senting of this matter. There are no hard feel
ings over It, and will be none unless thev are
stirred up by jnst such publications as the one
I have spoken of. The matter should be al-
aowea to arop."
Tbe National Encampment.
As the time of the National Kncampment
draws nigh 'she Interest In It grows both here
and abroad. It will doubtless be a notable gath
ering and one of tbe greatest ever held. Pitts
burg will not be behind in representation.
Probably more comrades and their wives will
go to Boston than ever attended a National
Encampment before. Commander In Chief
Alger, in General Orders No. 15, from national
headquarters, says:
"The Commauaer inlChief has personally ex
amined into tbe arrangements that are being
made for the entertainment of our comrades at
Boston on the occasion of the twenty-fourth
National Encampment, to be held there begin
ning Tuesday, August 12, and he is very happy
to announce that all comrades who attend will
receive a most cordial and enthusiastic greet
ing, and that ample accommodations will be
provided for all. Tbe railroads are making
more liberal rates than were made last year,
and be believes tbe rate will prove satisfactory.
"Department commanders are earnestly re
quested to urge upon the comrades of their re
spective departments that as many as can who
attend, come properly udiformed in order that
tbe grand parade, which lakes place on 'lues
day, the 12th of August, may show as many as
possible uniformed comrades iii line. In order
that comrades may easily recognize those with
whom they served, they are requested to wear
the badge of their corps and division on their
hats or caps.
"The parade will take place on the 12th day
of August, and will be participated in by the
comrades of tbe Grand Army of tbe Republic
exclusively, except the last division, which will
consist of the Sons of Veterans. The depart
ments will form in tbe order of seniority, ex
cept that Massachusetts will tako tbe left of
tbe G. A. It. divisions, in accordance with a
resolution adopted at the Twenty-second Na
tional Encampment. Each department will be
a division under command of the department
commander. Department commanders will, on
or before July 5, report to these headquarters
the number of ixmrades w bom tbey expect to
take part in tbe parade in order that proper as
tignments may be made. A desirable route for
she line of march has been laid out."
Uomrnde Oebmler'a Sliver Weddlnar.
The comrades of Post S3 and the ladies' aux
iliary entered into a conspiracy .'ast week. A
deep laid scheme was hatched and on Tuesday
evening their designs wcro carried out. Com
rade IL O. C. Oehmlcr. who is a tipstaff in tho
Criminal Court, was notified on Tuesday that
there would be a special meeting that night of
tbe Board of Trustees, of which he is a mem
ber, at the bouse of Comrade J. R. Hutchin
son, also on the board. Some of the ladles
made arrangements to take Mrs. Oehmlcr tn
tho post room of Post ES, telling her that a pre
sentation was to be made there. Comrade
Oebmler was also conducted to the post room
about tbe same time. Entering the hall they
beheld a table heavily laden with many nice
bits. Here were assembled a large number of
comrades and their ladies. Then the meaning
of all these strange and mysterious movements
began to dawn on Comrado Oehmler and bis
wife.
It was the night before tbe twenty-fifth anni
versary of their marriage their silver wed
ding was at band. Comrade William A. Stone,
In a feeling address on behalf of tbe post and
ladles, presented to tbe happy couple a band
some silver set. Comrade Uebmler was so
taken back that he could not respond, but
Comrade J. P. Stewart did it nicely for him.
Then all sat down to tbe banquet, in tbe prepa
ration or which tbe ladles bad distinguished
themselves. A large number of comrades and
their ladies were present, and a very enjotable
social evening was spent. Comrade Oebmler
and his life partner were loaded down with
congratulations and good wishes.
A Monument to Pheridan.
Commander in Chief Alger In General Or
ders, No. 16. addresses the comrades of tbe
Grand Army as follows:
"Nearly two years have elapsed since the Bo
tlety of the Army of the Cumberland formu
lated a plan to erect an equestrian statue in
honor of the great 6oldier. General Philip H.
Bherldan. and your present Commander In
Chief was appointed treasurer of toe fund. A
site has been selected for tbe monument on
Pennsylvania avenue in the city of Washing,
ton, and13ongress nas appropriated sufficient
Jonas to nuiia toe pedestal to the same. In
order to complete the fund an additional sum
of about f3u,000 is needed. I therefore ask
most earnestly that the Grand Army posts
throughout the country take the matter up at
once, contributing from 10 to 25 cents per mem
ber, and forwarding the same to me at Detroit,
or bring it to me at the encampment in Boston!
August next.
t. Comrades: Let ns all respond to this noble
-work promptly, so that during our lives we
may see the work completed. lt ns show to
tho world our love lor this great leader of men,
our late comrade, who contributed so much to
tbe success of the Onion cause. Let us act at
once and generously. Let your gifts be accom
panied with a list of names of the contributors.

enoucb fun to lasttbem a whole year. Com
rade Powers nine has challenged Comrade A
aReeE'nme, of Post 157, to a game or base
ball and the result of the conflict between
these veteran players will doubtless be awaited
with breathless interest. Comrade Barr. oZ
Post 157, will have his shooting gallery at the
picnic. The fare for the round trip is 25 cents,
wnlch Includes the incline. The admission to
the grove will be free. Trains will leave for

Excursion for Post 3.
It Is proDable that Post 3 will take an unusual
departure in the near future. During last
Monday's meeting Comrade Eaton proposed
that the post treat its members and families to
a steamboat excursion for the purpose of giv
ing all a day of enjoyment and getting ac
quainted. It is propoed that the post defray
the expense of the hiring of the boat, musio
and all suah expenses and that the ladles look
to the provisions and bring baskets as would bo

nor considering tho matter and will report at

THE NEWS ASD GOSSIP OP THE 0ITI
Among the rumors on Fourth avenue yes
terday was one which caused consi'derable
talk. It was to the effect that Harry Davis
had purchased from Mrs. Sawyer, the Ca
sino building on Fifth avenue, with lot 30
by 120, for 5169,000. It was further stated
that the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Bil
liard Company was back of tbe deal.
Mr. Davis was promptly interviewed for
particulars. He said he had not bought tha
property, but had succeeded it leasing it lor
five years, with the privilege of renewal.
Whether he would purchase it or not was
further along, but stranger things had hap
pened. He n HI at all events make extensive
Improvements to more completely adapt It to
threatlcal purposes.
A Quratlon Ililtflr Answered,
A communication from ''Owner" requests an
answer to the question! "Do you think tbere
Is danger of a reaction In values In roil
estatof" It Is hard to tell what may happen
years linhoe. It "Owner" had limited bll
question to the present or Immediate future,
the nuswer would have been easy to make,
Tboro is no apparent eatiio for reaction, or
evou, depression, The oily Is not oversold,
Demand lsaotive foralllesorlptions of prop
erly. This will Increase as the oity grows In
population and business, Not buyers are en
taring llm market every day. Homes Are
bi'liiK established At A rats hitherto unknown.
It I emmaled tlmt73 percent nf the pur.
elisiti are for Improvement. This, leaves, a
oouumrAtlvely small margin for speculation,
Undsr tuple conditions, wliloli ore potent to
All, reaction Is well nigh Impossible,
It Is not likely tlmt values will show muoli
oliange for some time, exoept in special eases,
but they will be maintained on their present
level, and move up as tho olty expands, Kn.
banoKinent of this nature Is natural ud
healthy, It Is a mark of progress In tbe activi
ties of tbe olty, and a guarantee of stability.
Ho long as Pittsburg stands at tbe head of the
Industrial movements of tho country, (o long
will ber estate Interests be seccute.
Events In Loi.nl Neourlllee.
The event of tbo week In borne securities was
tbe break and rally of We&tlngbouse Eleotrlo,
consequent upon tbe Increase ot tbe capital
stock to S10,XKl,OuO. If tbe stock bad not beea
held by strong bands tbere would have beon a
panic, As It was, at tbe critical time enough
inside support was developed to stay the tide
and restore the stock almost to Its normal mar
ket value. The lowest point tnuohed on the
decline was 6. It closed at 3S bid.
Auother feature was the sale the first this
year of a small lot of Yankee Qlrl mining
stock. This resurrection was due to a report
that tbe company had concluded to dispose ot
some of its nropertlts to an English syndicate,
who will push tho work of development. There
was nothing strikingly new In the remainder of
the list.
Brokers were encouraged over the Improve
ment in business tho last two or three days of
the week. Buying orders were reported to bo
coming in quite liberally. There is a great deal
of idle money on the street, as a rci-ult of the
July settlements, some of which, no doubt, will
be risked in speculation, and to this reasonable
supposition is due tbe better temper of tbo
local stock market.
.Business News and Gossip
Sales ot local stocks last week were 1.133
shares. Electrlo led in activity, with Philadel
phia Company second.
As an encouragenieut to holders of city rail

terday evening: "Suon after the Market street

it, and in a few years It rose to 400, making
them rich. The same thing may happen in
Pittsburg."

Tbe stock market yesterday Was a little off
in business, but generally steady in tone. Tbo
only sale was 100 Electric, taken by Morris &
Brown at 88K. It closed at 88 bid, showing
almost oomplete recovery from tbe depression.
It has been carefully bandied.
Other features were scarce, brokers being
unwilling to unmask their batteries at the
close of tbe week. Philadelphia Gas and Citi
zens' Traotion appreciated a trifle, but Central,
Pleasant Valley and Luster submitted to slight
concessions.
The bank list was less spotted with fignres
than usual on Saturday, when a good deal of
tbe bidding is to make quotations, but every
thing was firm. Ouly three of the insurance
interests received attention. Tbe market
standing of these stocks has been improved by
a good run of business this season, enabling
tbo companies to keep up dividends.

Statement All Right.
New York, July 12. The stock market to
day was Intensely dull, though it presented a
firm front throughout. The dealloga in all ex
cept a few specialties, and Sugar Refineries,
however, were confined to the limits of about
per cent. Those stocks which have lately
become prominent for tbo advances made,
such as Hocking Valley, Mobile and Ohio and
tbe Chicago and East Illinois stocks, made
further gains, thongh only in the case of the
first named was tbe movement of special im
portance. The entire gain was not retained at
tbe close In any case.
Sugar Refineries continued to respond to tbo
proposed scbeme to reorganize the trust, with
the belief that tbe Insiders will support tho
stock. The buying, however. Is largely for tho
short account, and its elimination seems only a
matter of a short time. The stock opened un
changed at 7CK. and roso rapidly on a largo
business to 78Ki but reacted to 76J at tho
close, tbe supply of stock at tbe high figures
being more than tho demand.
The bank statement, awaited with so mnoh
Interest, showed a handsome gain In surplus
reserve, which leaves it at about tvhero it was
two weeks ago, but tbe result bad been so
thoroughly discounted that it had no effect
in either the rise or depression In prices. Ths
close was very dull and firm at slightly better
futures than those of the opening, Tito final
ohtmges aro la all cases fraotloual amounts
only,
Railroad bonds wore quiet, with a business of
SAJ4.000, but the market, like that In shares,
fnilfld to develop any feature of Interest, and
the final changes aro, In all cities, Insignificant
fraction, , . .
(internments were dull ard steady. State
bmitlj wprs dull And featureless.
The export of tuetile from the port or New
York during Hie week amounted to IdlU.SOO
(not Inoliitllug tho slilpniints uv to-day' steam,
em), of wliluh 4ffiWws In gold and tUAQ
liver. The Import of ueut for the week
Amounted tn 1.137,278. of wulol) 1333,263 m In
gold and I33,9UA silver.
The i'mi My the Improvement was princi
pally due to the passage of too silver oonfer.
enoe bill, hut London alio was An Important
faotor. the purchases for foreign account
having been greater than the soiling In the
early pari of His week for the same m'oount,
Hallroad earnings make a very favorable show.
Ing as compared with previous years. The re.
ports of rate trouble In tbe'West Are largely
exaggerated. Money here has ruled easy and
ths sunnlv nf funds has been larus. hut rates
abroad have ruled higher than of late. Tha
doniaud for ernp purposes will soon set In and
the movement of ourrenoy will be reversed.
That Ii, that money will go from here to tbe
West.

Improved Condition of Affairs The Situa

Bpe elal to J ohn 11. Oakley ft Co.l
New York, July 12. We referred in our
yesterday's letter to tbe fact that our foreien
friends were amone tbe first to appreciate tbe
Improved condition of affairs in tbis country,
and that tbey bave been and would be buyers
of our stocks. We bave since received the let
ter nf our Edlnburg correspondents, Messrs.
Walker &. tVatson, in which they say:
"Tbo fall in prices has been considerable, and
it is to be noticed that durinc tbe entire month
European selling has predominated, wbile the
buying bas been chiefly for account of tbe
Americans themselves. When tbis feature is
present it is generally safe to anticipate an
early turn of th,e tide, and a more or less pro
nounced recovery of lost ground. Especially
may tins be looked for when, as at present, in
trinsic values bave undergone no change for the
worse. In fact, general business throughout
the States is represented by those best qualified
to judge to be exceedingly prosperous jnd It is
but to be looked for that the railroads should
participate in this prosperity.
"That tbey are doing so is abundantly proved
by tbe traffic earnings which continne to show
a marked expansion. Of conrse, some stocks
are too bigb, but tbe general level is not in.
dated, and in manv cases prices are decidedly
cheap. Tbe liquidation of tbe past month bas,
in short, bruught the whole market, both as
regards prices, and tbe state of tbe account,
down to a comparatively safe and bealtby po-

sltiou, from which we expect at least a tempo
rary recovery.
"How far that recovery may go. and bow
long it may last, will very largely depend on
the course of the money market, and regard
ing that, we do not seo much to fear In tbe im
mediate future. As for railroad rates, these
are not likely to be seriously disturbed as Ions
as the carrying business keeps good, though no
donbt occasional friction here and tbere may
be looked for."
Our Mr. Gibson, In cabling ns from tbe con
tinent to-day, states that the excessive rains
bare materially injured tbe crops, and ex
presses the opinion that this will ensure an ad
ditional demand for our cereals.
To-day's market has been steady without
great activity and without esoecial ioaturea.

THE ELLIOTT CASE.
A Matter of Interest at Carnegie's

Not a relative of President Elliott, of
Harvard, but belonging to a branch of industry-
and labor no less meritorious than,
that of tha Cambridge educator, Mr. Hngb,
Elliott is given a place in these columns.
By his many iriends and acquaintances in
Pittsburg and Homestead Mr. Elliott will
be easily recognized in the portrait accom
panying this article. For a long time a
rgulator in Carnegie's steel works at Home
stead, thongh still a young man, ha il
I favorably known in labor circles.
Yoa want me to tell my experience from
the beginning," he said, smiling. "Well,
that would be a rather difficult thing to do,
for the beginning, if my parents are right,
was when I was about 3 years old.
Hugh Elliott, earner JtttventS end Amity
itretli, llumtileiut.
"Yes, when I was an Infant there was tronble
In in head and tlirn.u, causing a noise when I
breathed anil iiipga nf the nnstrlls. All
through my boyhood IsulT reo: from catarrhal
trouble, I nod to keep my mnutli open In order
to breathe freely couldn't get any air Ibroacb,

''During the last fw years I bare suffered a
Sreat deal of tbe time from headaches, Al
mes there would be a compressed aching feel
ing across my forrheail and tne bridge of my
nose. At other times there would be pains in
my temples and tbe back part of tbe bead.
After tbets
IIEADACniS WOULD HE SO SIVEBB
as to make me sick and unfit for work. Dark
spots would swim befnra uiy eyes. I would ba
dizzy and faint, and when I would stoop over or
rise no suddenly everything would appear to
swim and whirl before mo.
"Slnco I have realized tbat catarrh had really
ahold upon melt has extended rapidly. My
tbroat and chest troubled me all the time. I
could feel the mucus and phlegm dropplngback
into my throat, which was frequently uncom
fortable, raw and Inflamed.
"Across my chest thero would come a tight,
heavy feeling as if something was binding me
or pressing down upon me. It seemed as if tbs
air passages were partially closed up so thatZ

jiy ceart oegan in oe tne cause or a gooa
deal of uneasiness. It would beat hard and
fast and this would bo followed by a slow Irreg
ular beating, and a sensation ot giddiness or
falntness.
The pains In my head, the singing, buzzing
noises in tbe ears became almost unbearable.
An abscoss formed in tbe left slda uf my head
audi got so tbat I could not bear out of my
left ear at all.
"I bad known for a long time ot tbe wonder
ful success with which Drs. Copeland fc Blair
treated catarrh, but I thought tbelr charges
were beyond my means. I learned one day,
however, from a friend who was a patient ox
tbelrs
HOW LOW TITE CHARGES REALLY WXRB.
"I put myself under thoircare at once. I did
not expect to get well in a day or week of a
trouhlo that I bad bad practically all my life,
but I wjs patient and regnlar in following their
treatment and taking their medicines. As a
result I find myself in first-clas3 condition now.
My bearing is restored and I feel well In every
way. Tbe catarrhal trouble has disappeared
and I am more grateful for my recovery than X
can very well express to you."
Mr. Elliott lives at the corner of Eleventh,
and Amity streets. Homestead, and will cheer
