DEATH OF TWO NOTED MEN.
ANDREW G. CURTIN.
Pennsylvania's War Governor Paasea
Peacefully Away.
- . -.. -
At Bollcfoul, Pa., Andrew Oregg Curtln.
th most famous of all the "war governors,"
whose services to his country In the capacity
of chief executive of Pennsylvania during the
wsr of the rebellion were most conspicuous,
breathed his lHt at 5 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, nftrr a lingering Illness. The malady
which ended his distinguish! career, was
founded In nervous derangements, brought
on by mental slrslu In connection with bis
huiiis luterests. and complicated by
the lotlrmltles of old age. He was 7! years
old onthe22dof lal April. A tall ou the
leu last winter Involved troubles from
which he never entirely recovered, and
during th extreme best ot last summer
chronic stomach trouble were aggregated by
the weather. All this helped to hasten the
end. although bts final sickness confined him
to lied only four days prior to his death.
Throe physicians havo been In constant at
tendance. Ir. (jeorge F. Harris Is his sun-in-law.
and he has been associated wlOi Doctors
l'alrlamb and Dobbins In assiduous attend
ance upon him. During the twelve hours
preceding his death the patient was uncon
slous. mni the great change came so quickly
and peacefully thnt only the susenstou of
respiration and the stilling o! bis heart
marked the different- ltween the sleep ot
lite and death. The members of his Immediate
family were all beside the deathbed when he
passed awny.
Andrew Gregg Curtln was born In thetown
In which he died, April 22, 1H15. five years
beforo tho Missouri slavery agitation arose,
w hich ended in the war with whloh his name
Is so memorably linked. Seventeen years be
fore his birth his father, Holimd Curtin.eame
to B"llefoute from Ireland and began tho
manufacture of Iron, his furnace being one of
the llrst built lu 1'ciiusylvanla. t'nliku most
of the Irish Immigrants of that time, he
brought with him wealth and a good educa
tion. He married the daughter of Audrow
Gregg, also of Irish parentage, who was
member of Congress, Inlted States Senator,
aud Secretary of State for Pennsylvania and
an unsuccessful candldnte for governor.
Young Audrow was given a good education
finishing at the Milton Academy aud Dickin
son College. Ho studied law with William
V. Porter and with Judge Heed while attend
ing the law department of Dickinson, aud be
gan practicing at llollofonte In 1837. Ho soon
won prominence, especially ns a Jury lawyer
and in criminal eaes, but but tits natural
tastes and gifts and the Inlluenee of his ma
ternal grandfather pressed hlin Into politics.
When only 8" he mad a State reputation a- a
stump speaker for "Tippecanoe niid Tyler
too, and III IMS lie iei mo campaign .--
ing in Pennsylvania for Henry l lay.
As Governor ot the state he was ncllve In
raising mid equipping troops, and the splen
did organization ot the Pennsylvania reserves
was owing to his exertions. He was Indefati
gable in his mlnl-trations for tb eomtort of
'ennsylvanla s soldiers in tne neui. on me
march, in the camp or in tho hospital. No
"-rsona service in tills nenaii was too owi
ng for him to render, and again and again
lis presence inspired our soldiery, and his
sympathy cheered tho wives aud children of
tiiealment ami I lie widows and orphans of
those who never returned. To him, above nil
others, the stnte is Indebted to the establish
ment ot the Soldier's Orphan school, aud ttie
country owes to him the splendid example of
ennsvlvaula e car for tho children o ner
soldier dead. And his native state was holl
ered by his appointment as minister plenipo
tentiary to one of the great powers of Europe,
and ho wns eminently successful lu establish
ing and malntnlng tho roost cordial relations
of Russia's great e nolre with our llepublio.

Tho American Wool and Cotton lteportcr
says of tbe wool trade:
The market since tho 21th tilt has been
steady with a fair trade: if it has gained no
strength It certainly Is no weaker. If there Is
not so much demand as dealers like to see,
still the aggregate purchases of many
smull buyers amount to considerable
In a week ns the record at that date
shows. Tbe general belief Is thnt our
market is down to the world's level on
prices, and that It is not policy to put
them any lower, although the trade is ready
for transaction every day in the week but
Sunday. There Is not, so far as we know,
any disposition to part with stock outside of
the rangi- of current quotations. While tr.ere
has been rather a miscellaneous business
done this wnek, there bos been more line do
mestictaken than for some weeks previously
aud the sales of forelgu wool greatly exceed
those made between the lsth and Jlith ult.
The sab s of the week amount to l.oU.r,4o0
pounds domestic ami 1,7 jy.500 foreign, mak
ing a total of i.4r.7.M)0 for the previous week,
nud a total of 1.11)7.080 pounds for the cor

HO IMPROVEMENT IH TRADE
TRUST STOCKS DECLINE.
Low Prices for Wheat and Cotton Affect
General Business.
It. O. Dun A Co.'a "Weekly Review of
Trade," says: Tbe lowest prices ever known
for wheat and cotton necessarily Imply some
what restricted consumption of other pro
ducts. With the chief money crops ot the
West and Houtn sinking In valu, It Is not
strange that purchasers of manufactured pro
ducts are smaller than was expeeted. Wheat
suffers most from accumulation of stock In
sight, and the exports lu September were un
usunlly small. For the first wk of October
Atlantic ex K)rts were, 1 .0H7.371 bushols against
HBH.746 latt year, and Western receipts were
only 4.0IS.C0O against 0.130.670 lasr year, and
these figures give sonio encouragement, but
have little Inlluenee In view ol Ike unusual
visible supply.
torn receipts at tn west nave been only a
third as large as they wer Isst year, with
exports amounting to nothing, but tbe price
has not further declined after the heavy fall
during the previous fortnight. Pork products
ore weak In tone, though only lard is quoted
lower. The aw demand In dry goods is Dot
as large as H has been, and in spring goods
the market I called remarkably dull, though
there Is relatively a good deal doing In cur
rent orders for fall trade. Cotton print
cloths am a shade stronger. Woolens arelnss
active and while there are numerous small or
ders for fail goods the demand for spring
goods is as yet not more than about three
quarters of tbe ordinary quantity nnd mainly
limited to the cheaper grades. Sales of wool
for the week have been 0.92Q,U50 pounds,
agaiust A.1171,400 two years ago.
The volume of domestic trade Indicated by
the exchanges at the principal clearing
houses Is l.ls per cent, larger than a year
ngo, but lu comparison with 181K1 shows a de
crease of 'ii.S per cent, llaiiroad earnings
thus fur reported for September are 8.7 per
cent, less than last yenr and 17.5 per cent lees
than in 18!iv. Tbe stock market continues to
reflect belief in reduced earnings, and tbe
average of railroad stocks bas dcl!ued 88
cents r share, while the trusts stocks have
declined 43 cents nor share.
September the liabilities have been smaller
thau in any other month this year, only 0,-
