W e y l e r B e l i e v e d t o H a v e Sustained An­other Defeat—A Spanish Garrison Said to H a v e D e s e r t e d - Cubans Make a Success­ful Ba ld i n t h e Suburbs of Havana. j .

NEW Yoajs., Dec ki-A. Times special from Key West, Fla., says: Psumiiiigms on the steamer from Havana last night say that a car load of wounded Spanish soldiers arrived there yesterday. It was rumored that most of them came from the v icinity of Ban Christobal and Candelaria, there being 500 on the train.

No statement could be had as to what battlefield they had come from, hence their arrival threw Havana into a state of excitement, rumors prevailing that Wey ler had sustained another defeat; other statements were made to the effect that the vanguard of Maceo's army had been

It is stated that Weyler is on the eve of attempting to storm some of the hill tops where Maceo is entrenched, and Otis has raised great expectations in Havana.

Yesterday afternoon it was current rumor on the streets there that another garrison of Spaniards had gone over to Maceo, carrying with them their arms, ammunition and stores, bat the location of the place was not gives, though it is supposed to be near Palacios. Over 450 men were in the garrison.

Late in the afternoon guerrilla fighting was reported across the bay from Havana, just beyond the line of forts, a small party of insurgents malting a dash into the suburbs: They succeeded in killing three Spanish soldiers, capturing one cap­tain and firing several houses. They lost five men killed.

The American correspondents in Havana have had friendly warnings to the effect that Weyler is contemplating deporting several of the more outspoken ones, as their reports do not suit him.

TROUBLE AHEAD. ,

The Notorious Steamer Laorada Most go to Valencia.

MADIUD, Dec 5 —A dispatch received here from Havana asserts that the rebel leadtr Maceo has left the province of Pinar del Rio on board a ship.

PHILADKUPHIA, Dec. 5.—It is said that Secretary Oiney has cabled to Madrid the facts in regard to the steamship Laurada, but the vessel, it is reported here, will be seized by the Spanish government when she reaches Valencia, and a suit will be brought for forfeiture against her.

Capt. Hughes left the vessel at Messina last night and was succeeded in com­mand by Capt. Lapsley, his chief officer, who was formerly master of the British steamship Czarina. The latter has never been mixed np with •filibustering expedi­tions.

The chatterers of the vessel demand that she shall proceed according to the terms of her charter, as the cargo, which is of a perishable character, is awaiting her at Valencia

The Spanish warship Hernandez left Gibralter last night to assist the authori­ties in preserving order in Valencia, so bitter is said to be the feeling already worked up against the Laurada

Crowds of Visitors—Plans for t h e I n a u j u -

WASHISTGTON, DOB. 5.—Mark Hanna's rooms at the Arlington this morning were crowded with visitors.

Senator Proctor of Vermont, was one of the first to call, and he was followed a little later by John Hay, whose nam* has been frequently mentioned to connection with the portfolio of state Mr. Hay and Mr. Han"» chatted for some time.

Meanwhile Gen. Porter, Mr. Payne and Senator Parker discussed in an informal way the plans for the inauguration, which it is purposed to make the most brilliant of any in American history. Colonel Myron

mittee from the district of Columbia, was sent for at 10 o'clock, and upon his arrival another conference was held with refer­ence to inauguration matters.

Colonel Parker some weeks ago en-dorsed S. M. Woodward, a prominent merchant of this city, for the chairman­ship of the inaugural committee. This action led to a protest from some of the district Republicans forth* reason that Mr. Woodward is a Democrat, although in the campaign Just ended his sympa­thies were wholly with the gold standard element. On the other hand many of the most substantial Republicans in the city cordially approved his selection, owing to his high standing as a business man.

CHICAGO, Dec 5.—Thomas Edwin Al­laire, ten years of age, has begun suit, through his guardian, for $50,000 against St. Lake's Hospital for alleged damages wbich he received before he was born.

Three days before his birth his mother became an inmate of St. Luke's and was directed to enter the elevator to ascend to the women's ward. She was thrown from a chair by a jolt of the elevator and her left leg was crushed. '

When the plaintiff was born his left leg was drawn and the muscles contracted. It is three inches shorter than it really ought to be, and he will be a cripple for life. "

D i d N « t Shirk I t s Unt ies . ALBANY, Dec 5.—-A great deal of dis­

cussion has taken place regarding the work of the state prison commission in regulating the question of eonvict labor under the provision of the new constitu­tion. It has been charged that the com­mission has evaded its duty, and thrown upon the state superintendent of prisons the' entire responsibility for the employ­ment of the convicts in the state prisons. Secretary Augustus Sherman of the com­mission today pointed out that under the law the sole duty of the commission is to assign labor and industries to the prisons, and there its duty ends. Then it becomes the duty of the superintendent to dis­tribute such labor and industries so as­signed by the commission among the penal institutions under his jurisdiction.

SAN FBANCISCO, Dec 5 —There is still a good deal of excitement here over the big fight and the cries of fraud in connec­tion with the referee's decision are as nu­merous as ever. Colonel H. I.

T h e Eas iness «f t h e Money Market One of the Most Hopefu l Features of the F inan­cial S i t u a t i o n - I t W i l l Fac i l i ta te t h e Recuperat ion of Trade.

N«W YOBBj DecU, [Special.]—During the past week there has been no material change in the aspect of affairs to Wall street. Thisijeing the closing month of the year, when all branches of business are making up their annual accounts and preparinglor their yearly settlements, it was to be expected that transactions in securities Would^be held in check and operations' largely postponed until the opening of 4he New Year. At the same time the stock market has shown •steady gain in confidence, and buying orders have had a quick effect in strengthening values. The feeling is very confident in favor of a more active market and a high­er range in prices in January, and so pronounced is tins expectation that it would not be surprising if the movement expected for next month should be partly realised before the close of the 5 ear.

One of the most hopeful features of the situation is the extreme and yet still grow­ing ease in the money market. A more complete change than that which has oc­curred In respect to credits within the last four weeks could not be imagined, From October 31 to November 28, the loans and discounts of the New York htttks in­creased $17,600,000, the deposits gained $34,200,000 and the surplus reserve has risen $14,400,000. The banks Swear to have almost exhausted the supply of dis­countable paper, and the rates on time loans against collaterals have fallen to fig­ures which imply that the banks expect the rate to remain exceptionally low for several months to come. The local rate of interest indeed has fallen below that of London,-and with some very, unusual results. Bankers here have bought ster­ling export bills, to an amount estimated high m the millions, in order to get the advantage of tbi* difference between the London and New Yo-k rates and in the hope of getting the higher rate of ex­change which may be expected sixty to ninety days hence. Virtually, these operations constitute a loan to London. They prevent the influx of gold here Which would arise if the bills were sent forward, and they constitute a means for offsetting the adverse international balance which usually occurs during the early months of the year, and, therefore, will either di­minish our exports of gold or bring gold this way in January or February, accord­ing to the condition of the trade balance. This movement, though common as be­tween European countries, is almost with­out precedent as between New York and London; but it is wholesome in Its effects; for it prevents a derangement in the Lon­don money market which could do us no good, but possibly harm; and it saves two unnecessary large transfers of gold over the Atlantic, first one eastward and then another in the reverse direction. It is these operations that account for the cur­rent relatively high rates of exchange and for the absence of gold import* under a trade balance of probably 20 to 30 mill­ions of dollars in our favor. These trans­actions indicate the strength of our pres­ent financial relations with the rest of the world; and it is the more remarkable' that they should come as a part of the natural process of readjustment growing out of the late perilous state of our cur­rency conditions.

(The ease in the money market and the low rates of interest, present and prospec­tive, are matters of special importance to the country in its present condition. In a case where business was inflated and credit unduly expanded, an easy money market might be a questionable benefit, for it could easily develop overtrading and excessive speculations. But coming after a great business collapse, when credit is needed to restore impaired capi­tals and to resume suspended operations, it then vastly facilitates the recovery of trade and quickens the process. One re­markable feature in the present business situation is the comparative absence of distrust as to the solvency of men of bus­iness; which'is something very different from what might have been expected after such a severe depression as has lately smitten the nation. One of the features of this month is usually the apprehension of a crop Of failures; but, at present, whisperings of such disasters are scarcely heard. In brief, the feeling in credit cir­cles is a really healthy One; and this fact, coming simultaneously with an abundance of capital seeking employment, is a sure forerunner of a sound and active course of business at large. In this connection, it is satisfactory to note thai, in trade cir­cles, the feeling is unqualifiedly hopeful. Merchants feel no disappointent because business has not "revived Instantly upon the iesult of the election. They knew that any spurt in trade at tike close of the season was out of the question; and they see enough to satisfy them that affairs have now entered on a phase in which a great revival of trade is inevitable. In every branch of operations the feeling is that of entire confidence in the spring trade. This applies to all sections of the country, and one looks to vain for a shadow of pessimism anywhere.

JOHN WINTERS OF LEE.

Struck by a Lehigh Val ley Train and F a t a l l y Injured.

CAKASTOTA, Dec 5.—As the 5:85 pas­senger train on the northern division of the Lehigh Valley road was coming south last evening, and when between Oneida Creak and South Bay, the engineer saw a man with a load of shingles driving upon the crossing. He gave ample warning, but the man paid no attention and the hind part of the wagon was struck, throw­ing the man off and breaking the wagon. The train stopped and picked up the man, who proved to be John Winters of Lee, who has bean living with his nephew, George Wright of Union Corners, about two miles north of this village. The horses escaped injury and, curiously enough, did not attempt to run through all of the excitement. The in­jured man was brought to this village and conveyed to the Delaney House, where Dm. Colegrove and Taylor made an ex­amination. It was found thas his skull was crushed and a part of his ribs broken. He was conscious when picked upend told the conductor who he was and gave him a real estate mortgage he had with him for safe keeping. He seemed to real­ize that he could not live, but was uncon­scious before he got here.

The injured man died at 8 A. M. today without having recovered consciousness. He was about 65 years of age Coroner Miles of Oneida was sent for to hold an inquest.

The deceased was a lifelong resident of the town of Lee and is well known all through that section. His wife, now de­ceased, was a daughter of the late Farnas Cross. He leaves two children, L. D. Winters of the state of Washington and Mrs. Almeda Le Clere of Oneonta.

CAUDBH, Dec. 5.—The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of tins village have made arrangement with Mrs. Clara O. Hadley of Mumford, N. Y., to deliver her famous illustrated temperance lecture in the town hall on Monday even­ing. The lecture will begin at 7:80, and 70 stereopticon views will be given. No admission will be charged, but a collec­tion will be taken to aid to defraying nec­essary expenses.

Tomorrow evening Rev. E. N. Jenks will preach before the annual meeting of the Camden Branch Bible Society in the Congregational Church.

Last evening two Well patronized and enjoyable socials occurred. One was en­titled a Mother Goose Sociable and Was given in the parlors of the Presbyterian Church under the auspices of the Y. P. S. C. E. of that denomination. The other was styled An Apple Social and was held at the M. E. Church by the members of the Ep worth League.

Firs t Meet ing of t h e Central Mew York Club for t h e Season.

The Central New York Farmers' Club resumed Its monthly meetings in Uticaon Friday. The following members were present: J. E. Graham, J. H. Marvin, New Hartford ;|Solomon Hoxie, Yorkville: John W. Wood, Carroll E. Potter, Thom­as Grace, Marcy; Charles Seymour, Kirk-land; R. M. Davis, Utica; George G. Chassell, M B. Coombs, Holland Patent; R. A. Jones, James Cavana, Whitesboro; Giles Smith, Deerfleld: Herbert Tyler, New Hartford.

President Graham directed the atten­tion of the club to the members who had died during the year. A. letter was read from A. G. Williams of Westmoreland in reference to the death of Jonathan Tal cottof Rome. An eloquent tribute was received from Hon. W. Cary Sanger on the life and character of the late Hon. Amos O. Osborn.

Verbal tribute was paid to Messrs. T. D. Curtis and Washington Garlock, two of the early members of the club, and an appropriate resolution in memory of de­ceased members was passed.

President Graham addressed the club. He said the club wanted to take up a lit­tle different line of work this year. He" advocated taking up some subjects in re­gard to official expenses and taxes.

Mr. Hoxie said the question which in­terested him was what class of dairy cows produce butter the most cheaply. We should have testa to develop a race of cows giving rich milk.

It was decided to postpone discussion till some future meeting. . Mr. Potter said: Another subject that

we can take up is the outrageous expen­ditures by the officials of this county, which the taxpayers have to pay. I do not approve of a judge of the supreme court having supreme power. These economic questions should interest us.

George A. Sanders was invited to pre­pare a paper on the subject and present it at the next meeting.

The name of Edwin Waller of Mont­gomery county was added to the mem­bership roll, after which the meeting ad­journed.

I ta l ians for the Canal Contracts. Over 200 Italians have arrived in this

city within the past three days, says the Syracuse Standard, and each train from the north brings in a large force of Ital­ians armed with picks and shovels ready to begin work on the canals. One of the provisions inserted in each canal contract bonds the contractor to employ none but American citizens. Whether this pro­vision will be enforced remains to be seen.

Amsterdam Sentinel: The majority of laborers to be employed on the canal work in this vicinity under the $8,000,000 ap­propriation, will be Italians. About 200 of them are located near Fort Hunter. Another lot are expected to arrive from New York this week. They are paid ten cents an hour. The company pro­vides them a shelter for which they pay $1 per month. They board themselves buying provisions from the company store. The contractors have taken out a liquor tax certificate and will dispense all kinds* of liquid poisons to the laborers. The outcome of all this will be that when the work is completed the contractors will have all the money, the Italians having worked merely for their board. There are large numbers of unemployed Amer­ican citizens in this section who would be glad of an opportunity to go to work. They are not given a chance even at the $1 per day rate of wages.

"Let your speech be yea, yea, and nay, nay," says the Good Book, "for whoso-ever is more than these cometh of evil." The Shakers abide by the spirit of this rule. Their words are .few, simple, sin-cere and direct. They waste no energy in idle talk; they use it in thinking and doing. And whatever they do they do with their might They are content with nothing short of the essence and principle of the things they investigate. They take pains and are patient.

Charles H^Andrus, Woodruff House Livery, watertown, N. Y.

Mr. Charles H. Andrus, for 82 years a livery­man in the county of Jefferson, well known as a man of sterling integrity and high moral char­acter, makes the following statement over his own signature:

"For many years 1 have suffered with catarrh of the bead and throat which made me deaf. Sued my head and ears with roaring noises, never ceasing night or day. My ears grew woree from year to year until people screamed at the top of their voices to make me hear. I had consulted physicians and specialists in all sections with no help. In this condition I called upon Surgeon Low, who told me he could cure me, and he has removed all the noises and re­store.] my hearing entirely in 90 days'time. I would give my livery and every penny I have in the world rather than go back where I was when I consulted this eminent surgeon three months ago. c . H. ANDRD8."

rail and Winter Announcement!

Not being able to meet the many readers of this paper face to face just at this busy season of the year, but, having a matter of the utmost importance to lay before you, we hope you will give our words the same careful attention that you would doubtless grant us if we were able to call upon you for a little personal chat over this matter of importance—this matter that concerns you directly; this matter that you should think about and decide upon according to your best judgment. W e refer to the purchase of goods in our line that will be necessary to your comfort and happiness during the coming winter. t

The changing seasons bring to everybody certain wanns which can not be ignored, and it only remains for each individual to decide whe're they can best and most economically supply themselves with these necessities. Knowing that you want good quality, knowing that you want something late in style and knowing that most of all you want the benefit of the lowest prices you can possibly find, we earnestly urge you to see our new fall and winter stock of Boots, Shoes, Slippers and Rubber goods.

W e want you to investigate our goods and prices because of an un­wavering faith in our ability to show yol>the best inducements of the season, which will result in sales for us and satisfaction for you. Our stock is stylish and well chosen and we are nicely prepared to meet all demand? of the season. We represent all things as they are and reg­ulate the price by the true value of the article.

Xou are well aware that times have been hard all over the country and people everywhere have felt a disinclination to purchase further than their absolute necessities required. This state of affairs has naturally been keenly felt by manufacturers and jobbers who have grown restive under the decreasing demand for their goods. The result of this was very apparent when we went into the markets to purchase our fall and winter stock. We found everywhere an intense competition and a general tendency to secure our orders by offers bor­dering closely on the cost of production. After a careful study of the situation our buyer proceeded to take advantage of these con­ditions and lay in a stock of goods at prices lower then have ever been known to the trade. The benefits of this favorable opportunity we are now about to hand ovtoer our patrons by merely adding a close margin of profit to these goods and putting them at your disj posal with all the advantage of hard times concessions accompanying

them. We think you have only to see them in order to be convinced that

while dollars may be scarcer than usual with y^ou, the dollar which

you have - has never before been able to purchase so much good

honest value. Here is a fair proposition: If we deserve nothing, give us nothing;

but if you find our goods and prices satisfactory acknowledge it with your patronage.

Waiting for your coming in the midst of *a stock of seasonable goods which we consider unexcelled in style and assortment, certain tbat our prices thereon are graded down to the closest living margins, we can not but feel perfectly confident of meeting your requirements in the best and most highly satisfactory manner.

W e have stated our case and words will go no further. We only close as we began by urgently requesting you to come in and see our fall and winter stock and let us prove that we not only have the ability and inclination, but that as a matter of fact we do offer the best inducements of the season.

Hoping to see you soon and promising our best efforts to make

your coining pleasant and profitable we are

Very truly yours,
