THE CLOSING SEASON. Amusemtttts. Amusements. 'eSatxaiuafccc's. THIRD STREET CHAT.

Active Stocks Weak and Some Dull Oues Firm The State Trade. The stock market during tbe past week, when judged by the Dumber of shares that changed bands at the local board, was much more active than during tbe preceding week, but the activity affected only one or two stocks oa the local list. There was daring tbe week no change In tbe influences that ought legitimately to afreet tbe price of stocks. There were no failures of special importance during the week, the crops are secure, money is abundant and trade, mining and manufactures, though dull, are generally reported to be in a healthy condition. Tbe country appears to be moving along In a very satisfactory way for everybody except tbe holders of Stock Exchange securities.

The result of tbe operations at tbe board on Saturday was a decline for some stocks and an advance for others, but as a general thing the weak stocks were the active ones. Thus Northern Pacific preferred, in which two thirds of the entire business of tbe week was done, fell from 43 to 41. the close on Saturday it had got back to 43, showing a loss of about S3 a share on the week's operations. On the other hand, Jersey Central, which was quite dull, went up from to 51 and closed on Saturday at 50. Northern Pacific common lost about yt during the week.

A comparison of the closing prices for the rest of the list on Saturday last and on the Saturday preceding show only small fractional changes. The most important feature of the New York stock market was a decline of about six dollars a share lu New York Central, following the announcement of a new issue of bonds. The effect on the price of tbe stock would not have been so great had not everybody connected with the New York Central Company, from Mr. Yanderbllt down, persistently denied that any such issue was Intended until denial was no longer possible. This deceit gave the bears a splendid opportunity, which they did not fail to impjove.

The indications of Improvement In the Iron trade are faint enough. but there is a little activity, which will probably swell Into larger proportions. During the past two months a large amount of The Base Ball Championship and the Union' New Schedule. In just two weeks the championship season will be brought to a close, but very few of the clubs will disband before November The Ath letic managers seem disposed to close tbe season on October 10, when their players' contract ex pire, and they have declined to arrange a series of games with tbe Philadelphia Club. What disposition will be made of tbe down town Key stone ground for next season Manager Thomas Pratt has not yet determined.

Tbe Union Association has made an ofter for it, but there is a strong probability of an Eastern League club locating there. The feeling between the national agreement associations and the Unions daily grows more bitter. The statement made at the Baltimore meeting of the Unions that the National League had made overtures looking to a reconciliation with and recognition of the Unions is most vig orously denied by A. G. Mills, president of the National League and chairman of tbe arbi tration committee, in a loiter to The Sporting Life: in conclusion Mr.

Mills says: "The Union Association, by means which even some respect able newspapers have undertaken to defend, has managed to exist to the present time with the corpses ot but four of its clubs buried by tbe wayside this season. What promise ot permanence, much less of reputation and prosperity, can be found In its career 1 leave toothers to estimate. Bui I invite the clubs of the national agreement to consider what chance of success would have should thev recoanlze or in any way allll iiUe with the clubs of the Union Association, and thereby not only aid in perpetuating that association but also condone acts which tbey have pledged themselves to resist and which, if sanctioned and persisted in, cannot fail to wreck pro iessionai bait playing. The Union Association has made another change in its membership. Omaha, which was to have taken the Pittsburg's place, has been dropped and St.

Paul lias been taken In. A new schedule has been arranged, running from Sep tember 27 to October It. It provides sixteen games for each club, to be played at Milwaukee, Cincinnati. Kansas City and St. Louis.

Per To DIRTY STREETS DOWN TOWN The Foul Condition of First Ward Thoroughfares That Seed Cleaning. The vile condition of onr streets. by reason of the inefficiency of the Highway Department, and the effrontery of the contractors who are paid for cleaning the streets and do not do it, are taiuiliar topics to Philadeljibians," said William Hark ness, a member of the committee of one liun dred, of 1537 South Ninth street, on Saturday. "The streets being always in a vile condition the people Irve come to the pass when they expect nothing belter.

They have become resigned to the condition of altairs and carefully pick tbeir way through the dirty streets inwardly thanking their stars that mailers are no worse. Down in the First ward, where I live, matters have, however, become so bad that the patience of the citizens baa. given out and repeated complaints concerning the condition of the streets have found tbeir way to the Controller's office. Within a lew days such a complaint, signed by twenty six worthy citizens, was sent In to Controller Hirst and the contractor has since been scratching In a few spots throughout the ward, just enough to make the general vilcness more visible by contrast." A careful examination of the thoroushfareJ of the ward showed that the description of their condition had not been overdrawn. It would be a comparatively easy task to name the places where some attempt had been made to remove at least a portion of the accumulations of dirt iroin the streets.

These are on Fourth street, from Tasker to Reed on Fifth, from Tasker to Wharton on Sixth, from Tasker to Iteed, and on tii cross streets rtinnln; from Fourth to Seventh. Elsewhere throughout the ward the streets were in a disgracefully dirty condition, the gutters being choked with weeds and flit hand the inlets blocked up, causing the water to back up in tiie gutters in black, foul puddles, sending out pestilential odors upon the air for blocks around. Taylor street, west from Eighth to Tenth, was so dirty as to cause a doubt whether it had been cleaned this season. At the corner of Ninth street the gutters were full of stagnant water, sending out vilo odors. On the north side of the street, opposite the paint works, the gutter was closed with plank and dirt for twenty feet.

Opposite the Seventeenth district station house tlio gutter, which was closed by loose stone, was in a most filthy condition. Loose paving stones were scattered on Guirey street to Dickinson street, and there was a pile of filth at Its intersection with Passyunk road. The residents in thisslreet declared that what cleaning was done they had to do themselves. Fiithy gutters were found at Twelfth and Dickinson, Eleventh, above Tasker, Twelfth and Tasker and on Front street, from (iroenwltlch to Dickinson. Marter's lane, a small street south of Dickinson and running from Front to Olsego, was so choked with dust and dirt that no gutters were visible, the curbstones being lost in the accumulation.

At. the foot of Reed street, opposite the freight station ol the Pennsylvania Railroad, lie several cartloads ot dirt, which a clerk employed in the office declared had been there for two months. On Front, below Heed, dead cats lie decomposing in the hot sun. The residents on Wyoming street, from Corn to Second, said that no cleaning had been done there for two weeks. On Wheat, Corn and Rye streets, little thoroughfares opening upon Second, the inhabitants, mostly women, say they do all the cleaning that is done.

Passing over many streets the description of whose vitencss would simply be a repetition of 1 lie foregoing, Jackson street is readied, which merits a special notice East of seventh this fclreet has not been cleaned for some time and has a luxuriant, crop of weeds, some in blossom and others gono to seed. Some tine specimens have been gathered bere and labeled with cards, giving the location, height and other valuable statistics for the information of the Highway Department. On Tree street, at Seventh, the gutter was choked, causing the water to set back ud irrigate the soil, on which grew a most, fruitful and picturesque crop of weeds, tall enough lor the birds to build nests In. At Seventh and Moyamenslng avenue an artificial lake adds variety to tho scenery. This lake is caused by a break in the pavement and the choking of tlieguttcr.

Here geese disport, themselves, feeding upon the weeds and bathing in tho water close at hand. II AGAR, CAMPBELL DIM si MCSEUH rrrr a rbb ooo THH AARROOHH HI 11 AXD A A KRR If AAA Win TUB A A OCU LAST WEEK I.tTIA ZARATE. LAST WEEK lfner's LAST WEEK Mexican Fairy. Age 21 ears. Weight 4..

Scott Wo Recalled by His Death. From tbe New York Sun.

Toronto, September 25. The name of William M. Scott, who died bere the other day, was heralded from one end ol the continent to tbe other about two years ago when he won tbe sum of $150,000 In a single game of poker. Scott was a native of Newburgh, N. where he lived when be played bis famous game.

Tbe players In the game were tbree well known citizens ot that town, one of whom the victim, had Just become heir to half a mill ion. In is was a man named weed. coll also bad money and was surrounded by wealthy friends. The third member of tbe party was a former Sunday school teacher, a dentist named Dr. Montrevilie M.

Hedges. It was shown after ward that the poker pot was adroitly run up to $150,000 on bets of at least K.000 each. Tbe dealer was Dr. Hedges, the shrewdest player of the three. As be deftly dropped the last card on the little round table he called out to know what the other players wanted.

Scott said be wanted only one card. Of course the question arose, was he drawing to All a straight or a flush? Weed applied to the dealer for two cards, and tbe question to be decided in his case by the others was whether he was drawing to eet four of a kind or to fill a full hand, a straight or a flush. Hedges rested on his oars. He had enough, which was, of course, interpreted to mean that It was anything from a straight or a full hand up to a straight flush. The drawing over, the faces of the three brightened up, and it is safe to say that never before bad three lonely men in a little game held three such hands of cards.

When the betting had got up to $6,000 or $3,000 Weed wanted to stop, because," as he said, there Is not one of us that will pay if we lose such an amount." It was not stopped, however. After a little Hedges, who had stood pat with his hand and engaged in the bolting as it went around until the pot was pushed up to 130,000, called Scott. Then came the lay down, and afterward Hedge's memorable words to Weed "This Is dreadful, ain't it?" Of course the simple minded Weed was taken In. He had received a fine hand that would have nerved even the most timid gambler up to a strong belting point. It was lour of a kind and they were aces at that.

In any ordinary game a bold better would have done as Weed did go to the bitter end. Scott's one drawn card was the corn breaker. Did it till a full hand or a straight 1 was the question that ran through Weed's mlndconlinuously while the chips, representing thousands of dollars, were being thrown into the pot. "Of course, If it's eitltcr my four aces will beat him," lie argued, while It isn't possible that Hedges drew belter than four aces in the deal." When the end came Weed was struck almost dumb. His four aces were worthless, for while Hedges stood pat on a king full, Scott had drawn in the one card he took the right color and the proper number of spots to make his hand a straight flush, the only thiug that would down four aces.

But the poker game was a small one in comparison with the game that followed. It was a game of faro. Weed was aaln the loser to the enormous amount of 150,000. The game was played between Scott and Weed for the purpose of giving the latter a chance to win back his $150,000. If Weed won it was toollset the claim against him and the two were to call It square.

eed jumped at such an opportunity. The game was played In the dental laboratory and the betting ran up very fast until it stood at in favor of Scott. Of course the money was never paid and it was after this Unit lie trouble over the poker debt got Into the courts. Scott died bere, at the house of his sister, and his remains were taken to Newburgh for interment. He was only 32 or 33 years old.

GENERAL LILLY AND LABOR. His Iron Clad Contract Labor Threatened Kcvolt Against Him in the Coal Itegions Special Dispatch to Thk Timks. Mauch Chunk, September 28. There is trouble threatened lor General William Lilly, who has fust been placed on the Blaine Electoral ticket in place of the late Mr. Lelsenriug.

General Lilly is ono of the principal nnd active members of the firm of Ueorge B. Alarkle A composed of George B. Markle, his son John Markle aud General Lilly, aud they are large coal operators at Jeddo. His nomination as a candidate for Elector, following the nomination of Calvin Wolls, owner of a "rat" newspaper that Is subsidized to the amount of 20, 000 by employers to destroy organized labor, has created quite a stir among the work Ingrnen of the upper coal regions. The reuson given by the worklngmen for their protest against General Lilly, Is that Ills firm, with his knowledge and co operation, prepared an ironclad agreement, giving up all control of wages, for llielr workingmeu to sign; and as the worklngmen say, such an agreement as could be accepted only by contract Italian or Hungarian laborers.

The following is an exact copy of the humiliating contrnct General Lilly's firm presented to their worklngmen and demanded Its acceptance as the condition of continued employment Jeddo, Pa. las the undersigned an entplove of O.

partly cloudy and Monday: cooler. Satin Antique and Duchesse are two of the new black silks that Fashion has pitched upon. Satin is old and everybody knows Satin de Lyon is old enough to be known to most people who care about silks. Satin Antique and Satin Duchesse are between the two. Satin de Lyon has little of the satin sheen; it is only one remove from gros grain cr taffeta.

Satin Antique has a faint twill of a novel sort, too fine to be conspicuous, and yet distinct, tiny channels almost lengthwise but the leading characteristic of it is its slight peculiar satin sheen. Satin Duchesse is more like satin It lacks the full reflection of satin, the steady shining light. It is sprinkled with star dust. The surface is the surface of satin. The light it gives is bright with out being continuous.

It is sparkling, scarcely brilliant, delicately luminous with tiny points of light. These two fabrics are decidedly a feature of fashionable stately dress and silk has never taken a more beautiful form. Satin Antique, $1.50 to $3. Satin Duchesse, $2 to $4. Southeast from center.

rrnTT. Ocneral Manager, Ceii'l IVrf A ciA business has been done by the Ilessemer steel rail mills at remarkably low prices. Sales were made at from down to 2f. 00 and a good many builders and managers of roads needing rails for repairs took advantage of the exceptional low prices and ordered heavily. The Pennsylvania mills are safe up nntil the end of the year and many of the contracts call for Utter deliveries.

An advance is now probable, especially for small lots, but this will be limited by the price which outside mills can afford to accept for rails. There is no change in bar iron. In nails the market is sluggish, owing mainly to tbe efforts of new concerns to crowd stoiks. There Is very little activity in crude Iron. Special gi ades of gray forge sell well, but foundry Is dull and buyers are backward.

Quotations have not changed for two or three months and concessions are only to be had on large orders, which are very rare. Structural iron is under fair inquiry. Foreign Irons sell very slowly. There is a good deal of firmness In some special sizes and qualities of coal on account of their scarcity, butoutsldo of these demand is Irregular and prices weak. buyers are still holding back their orders, on account of the loug talkcd of break In the combination.

This week's restriction will probably Improve prices and demand. A good deal ol cutting is reported in domestic sizes. Eastern shipments sire very and freights are low. When the Eastern and Western demand is presented freely, as it must be before long, the market will be strong and very active. Bituminous coiil is making very little headway, so far as now orders are concerned, though heavy deliveries are being made on old contracts.

The distribution of lumber during tho past week has been quito active, owing to the anxiety of builders to complete operations before the coming of unfavorable weather. Abundant sui plies of all kinds are on hand and prices are not firm, exccptlugln the case of best qualities. The furniture houses are buying slowly, being pretty well supplied with seasoned material. Aslight advance Is reported in fnth and good cedar shingles. Lumbermen are not disposed to make concessions to attract buyers.

The demand for wool is moderate and there is no strong upward tendency In prices, owing to the large supply of desirable stocks within easy reach. A quarter of a million pounds were sold in one lot to one Eastern manufacturer. Arrivals are liberal and sales last week were considerably in excess of those for the previous week. Manufacturers nro buying freely and are carrying larger stocks, but there Is plenty of room for Improvement. The carpet manufacturers are making full lime and also show a willingness to carry larger stocks than earlier in tho season, owing to the receipt of numerous orders and tho generally Improved prospects for fall and winter trade.

Ingrains are in good demand, but are in many cases superceded by Brussels, owing to the decline in the price of the latter. The market for woolen goods is still somewhat uncertain, owing to the backwardness of fall demand and the unwillingness of manufacturers to anticipate tho market. Prices are strougly in favor of buyers, but buyers do not seem inclined to take advantage ot the fact. The demand for hosiery and knit goods Is still a little backward, but a largo amount of stock is moving and it is probable that the distribution of hosiery und knit goods of all kinds will be larger this year than ever before. There is a tendency to now designs nnd patterns, which will help to stimulate trade.

Programmes at the Theatres. The regular opera season at Haverly's Theatre begins to morrow night, when Falka will be revived. "A Night in Venice," a new opera by Strauss, will be given at tho Joseph Murphy comes to the Chestnut in Kerry Gow," and Harrison nnd (iourlny come to the Arch In "Skipped by the Light of the Moon." At the Opera Housolhe Eric Hayley Combination is to give Impulse," a London success of ono or two seasons back. Miss Lillie liinton comes out as a star at tho Arch Street Opera House, Mr. Kyron appears In Hero at the National and Tony Pastors Company plays at tho Central.

There aro fresh oddities on the programmes of the Eleventh Street Opera House and the three uime Entertaining Reading. The just issued fall number of Strawbrulse Clothier's Quarterly Magazine contains the usual variety of well written articles on such sub jects as relate to fashion and home Interests, em. bracing art and economy In the household, styles for ladies and children, with hints for tbe Im provement ol the warden and the kitchen, and some suggestions tending to Increase. the social enjoyment of our young folks during tho long evenings of the fall and winter.

An Account of Saturday Night's Meeting by a Democratic Spectator, To the Editor of Tub Times: In your report of the so called Independent Irlsh Auierlcan meeting, which was held on Saturday evening in Friendship Hall, your article reads that 200 men joined tho new organization, etc. Your reporter has quite evidently been misled or has been told a misstatement.

There were not more than 275 people altogether in the hall, and it was quite evident to everyone present that fully three fourlhs of those were Democrats of that typo who don't turn their coat quite so easily as by listening to pronounced Republican speeches from men directly identified with the Republican party. I went there by lu vilation to attend nn Independent meeting of "Irish American citizens. I did as fully 2U0 of those present did, and came away with a firmer determination than I ever had of remaining with the grand old party which has been for twenty years making such grand and heroic efforts to wrest the government from the hands of designing men who at tho nppronch of each election preach protection lor the mechanic and work ingmcn. I venture to assert that there were not twonfy men out of (ho entire number present who put down their names and Joined the new club, by whatever name the managers of Mr. Blaine chose to call It, the man whose conduct was Infamous towards tho unfortunate, misguided patriots whose lives were sacrificed on British scaffolds and who could if he willed, while Secretary of State, have at least raised his voieo in their behalf.

Why, It is adding Injury to insult to ask the Irish American citizen to support suchamnn. Will you ask the men Willi Irish names who were present and addressed the Democratic meeting (for such it was) what they thought of the ovation tendered when the nnmeof Uovernor Cleveland was announced, and to ask M. J. O'Cal laghan when It was that he cast his first Republican vote? If fellows of his stamp think they can with their Ignorant blunders mislead patriotic Irish American citizens, they will find out to their grief that it Is a labor in vain. w.

BLAISE AND TIIE IRISH. gome Errors Made by Careless and Enthusiastic Organs Corrected. To the Editor of Tun Timks: In your issue of Friday morning appeared an extract from a Washington dispatch to the Milwaukee Sentinel to the effect that a gentleman (presumably a book agent, from his glib talk), wbo has recently been in nearly all the small towns of Indiana, states that tho Irish Catholic priests aro working vigorously and earnestly for Rlaine all over the State, and, more than this, that tho Irish Catholic bishops of the State are out for Blaine.

This may be all very encouraging to the Mends of Mr. Blaine, but to show how utterly unreliable are these statements and others of the same kind that are being made every day it may be well to know that there are only two Catholic dioceses in Indiana the Diocese of Fort Wayne and that ofVincennes. In the Diocese of Vincennes there nro one hundred and twenly nine Catholic priesls, only tifteen of whom are Irish Catholics. Out of a total of one hundred and two priests in the Diocese of Fort Wayne only ten are Irish Catholics, not Including the professors at tho University of Notre Daine. There are no Irish Catholic bishops at all in Indiana.

The Hishop or Fort Wayne, Right Rev. Dr. Dwenger, is German by birth, whilst Right Kev. Dr. Cliaiard, the Bishop of Vincennes, is of an otu jiuiiimore ianiuy anu was uorn and brought up in that cily.

Gentlemen returning from Indiana and others should, therefore, remember that It is unsafe lor a man to talk unless he knows what he Is talking about. As to working vigorously and earnestly for Rlaine ali over the State," they are doing nothing of the kind. The Catholic priests of Indiana, as elsewhere, have matters of far greater importance to tend to. Their mission Is to save souls, not to slump for candidates, and should anyone of them enter the arena of politics, in defiance of the well known rules of the Church on this point, it is more than probable that ho would be Invited by his bishop to rusticate for awhile in sonic retired cloister.

Philadelphia, September 27. CHOOSING A DEACON, Peculiar Mode Adopted by the Mention itcs In Selecting a Church Otticer, From the Lancaster Examiner. On Tuesday tho Mcnnonites of the Hammer Creek district, which embraces the churches of Hess and Hammer Creek, mot at tho meeting house at the last named place for the purpose ol selecting a deacon. At 8.K0 A. M.

the exercises wore opened with singing by the assembled congregation. This was followed by a short sermon by Rev. Henry Longeueckcr, of Salunga, prayer by Rev. Longenccker, sermons by Rev. Jacob N.

lirubakor and Rev. Christian Romberger and prayer by Rev. Brubaker. Afler these exercises the selection of a deacon look place as follows There were eight candidates for tho deacon ship, who wero nominated a few Sundays preceding the day of this meeting by votes from all the members of the several congregations who wished to vote, the voting being done verbally before the officiating ministers In ante rooms to the churches. Rev.

Christian Rlsser and Deacon David Lcaman went to the ante room of the Hammer Creek Church and took eight books, placing In one of them a slip of paper on which was written the authority conferring tho title of deacon. Repairing to tho main room, the books were placed on a table beforo the candidates. Each of the eight candidates then chose a book. A profound silence fell over the assemblage. Rev.

Christian Romberger began opening the books, looking for the slip of paper, passing successively tho lirst man, the second, third, fourth, tirth and sixth, but when he opened the book or the seventh the paper was found nnd the suspense In which the assemblage was held was broken. This gentleman was N. Hoy, of near Lllltx. Rev. Mr.

Romberger then Instructed the newly eieeted deacon in his duties and afler Kinging tho meeting was dismissed. Deacons are selocted when a vacancy occurs and this was tlie last selected for a number of years. Hence the meeting was of unusual interest and the attendance large. l'UBLIC SCHOOL SESSIONS. Superintendent MacAIister In Favor of the Two Sessions System.

"The question of introducing one session a day In the public schools," said Superintendent James MacAIister on Saturday, "Is, I think, and finally settled. At the last meeting of the Educational Council in New York the result of tho experiment tried at Rochester, where the one session plan lias been adopted, was discussed, and a majority of all the school superintendents and authorities on education decided that two sessions a day were best. The argument presented by the adherents of the one session plan was based on moral grounds. They claimed that the recess intervening between the two dally sessions was calculated to throw the pupils Into contact In the school yard oftencr than nccessnry nnd that It was wise to avoid this intermingling and school. yard iissocl tion as much as possible.

Tho argument on the other side Is taken lrom a hygienic point of vlow nnd I Indorse it in my own personal opinion. Young children cannot stand any continued strain on their mental powers, and for that reason they should not be kept In constant application for any length offline. Tho teachers should take as much responsibility for Uio conduct of llielr pupils In the school yard at recess as they do In maintaining order In the class room and the evils of association complained of would be prevented." A Little Lad and His Pretty Pot I.lr.ard. From the Savannah News. A little three year old in Johnson county while playing about the yard called to his mothor: "Come here and see this great big lizard snapping at me," The frightened mother hastened to the sccno and found the urchlu rubbing the deadly companion as though they had Jiiudo friends.
