Brooklyn, July, 1889. ODD FELLOWS. Mt. Ararat Lodge No. 144, of the Independent Order of Odd FelloWB, held a regular meeting last cvoning at its roomB, 12 1 Furman street, in the Seventeenth Ward.

District Deputy Grand Master John McElravy, of District No. 2, Kings County, was present with his official staff. After the reception of tho grand officers tho following officers were installed: Horace Proal, noble grand; Robert Thompson, vice grand; Scott Blaisdell, recording secretary; John T. Gardiner, treasurer; Joseph Oppenheimer, representative Babylon a Place for Splendid Match Slaking.

The places that are suffering from a dearth of Summer boarders are hoping for guests enough in August to make up the deficiency of July. There are few resorts that have the usual complement of people. It is not easy to account for the falling off. The advance in the price of board last season, being the second in two years, mav have something to do with it, though it cannot be said that tho rates are burdensome. The railroad accommodations have not contributed to tho decline, because they were never better.

The discussions that have been going on as to the rates of fare may have created a prejudice against the company and turned public attention to places that are more favored in this respect. When a hundred or more cottages arc permitted to stand idle at Far Rockaway, a good many more at Rockaway Beach, and half empty hotels and boarding houses are the rule in seven out of ton olaces. there must be something wrong some from Brooklyn who arrived this week are James Lynn and family, Percy W. Clark, Miss Mamie Garnett. Mr.

and Mrs. W. P. Hagcrman and family, Walter L. Byrn, Mrs.

H. E. Brady, Mr. and Mrs. Kimball, Captain C.

Grattan and family, Mrs. William Mallison, Miss Mary Mallison, George Lyon, George C. Elliott and son, George Jerome W. and Miss Sarah E. Leverich, Misses Ella and Grace Horton.

Ezra Buisseau celebrated his 90th birthday recently. His bodily health is good and his mental vigor is unimpaired. There is but one older person in the village, Mrs. Beulah GoldBmith, aged 05 years. The coming harvest home festival on August 1, under direction of Professor D.

P. Horton, of Brooklyn, bids fair to be a gala day in the hiBtory of the town. Northport This quiet littlo spot is becoming more widely known on account of its beautiful sceuery, rolling fields and superior harbor. The hills are covered with tall oaks and chestnuts, which shut the sun out of the valleys and make life bearable when tho thermometer is registering the 90s. It is a business village as well as a Summer resort, as the farmers and boatmen all come here to trade.

The harbor is indeed a charming sheet of water, perfectly safe for bathing and yachting, and fish run in its waters and afford sport for anglers when they cannot be found elsewhere. The village has natural drainage, the land iB so rolling, and malaria is an affliction unknown in the community. The natives are easy going, good natured and jolly, but well educated and thoroughly posted on all public questions. Secret societies flourish here. The Masons (and Odd Fellows have prosperous lodges; there aro a large chapter of the Order of tho Eastern Star, a literary and social union and then the societies usually associated with well regulated churches.

Wo have for pastor Rev. J. H. Stansbury, Methodist, and Rev. George H.

Cleveland, Presbyterian. Wo have beside the services of the Protestant Episcopal and Baptist denominations. Sunday evening tho pulpit of the Methodist Church is to be filled by the Rev. Charles S. Wing, of the Fleet Street Church, Brooklyn, in exchange with the Rev.

Mr. Stansbury. As if to play a drawing card, Rev. Mr. Cleveland advertises to preach Sunday cvoning on the subject.

"A Mother in Law." There will be an exodus of Methodists from the village next week to the camp meeting at Dix Hill. A pleasant social event was a visit from seventy six members of Butler Odd Fellows' Lodge, of South Norwalk, who were royally entertained by the brethren in this place. Society has been interested in the marriage at New Durham, N. of Miss Mary M. Nickerson and Mr.

J. Jud son Dean. The bride was a successful teacher and the author of several essays on school work. The hotels anil boarding housos are enjoying a fair share of patronage, but no place can be said to be crowded. August is a better month, usually, aud no one feels discouraged.

Wall Street, Saturday evening, July 20. In an article presenting the most satisfactory explanation of the recent gold shipments to Europe given by any authority, the Financial Chronicle, says: "First of all it is very desirable for a right understanding of gold movements to and from the United States to remember that the underlying or primary cause of them is the balance, adverse or favorable, of our foreign trade. Generally speaking that is true tho world over: it. is for the payment of these balances between nations that bullion is transferred. But in Europe the connection between imports aud exports of merchandise and the current settlements ia so involved with other influences as to bo almost or quite a minor consideration.

Especially is this a fact with regard to Great Britain, whose carrying trade is enormous and whose investments, fixed and temporary, are of so large a volume as to make 'evory country tributary to it. With us, on the other hand, merchandise imports or exports must bo the basis of the gold we ship or receive. We do not overlook the shipment of securities, which is every year a quantity to be estimated; but it is by no means a constant quantity or one approaching the regularity in volume of our foreign trade. Sometimes the flow is large, sometimes it is very small, of late it has at a minimum. Hence wo arc brought back to the trade balance, as always the point to be first investigated, and when that balance is found against tho United States, unless a large volume of securities is passing, gold must go out.

We start each year in debt to the outside world. The amount of American railroad securities held abroad is not a very large item: other foreign investments here are also large and extremely varied in character. Beside, there is also considerable of Europe's floating capital employed in the United States, no doubt to sonic extent fluctuating in amount with the changes i Amet. Trust. Amer.

DiHtrict Deputy Grand Master James Cornelius, of the Second Masonic District, was announced as in waiting, and the right worshipful brother was received with the honors due his rank and station. Woi Bhipful Master William H.

Sutton in appropriate remarks welcomed him to the East and incidentally referred to the many pleasant occasions lie liad had in the right worshipful's company and expressed the hope that, aBthe brother's visits had been less frequent of late than they had in the past to Hill Grove, the lodge in the future would move frequently have the pleasure aud benefit of his presence and counsel. Right Worshipful Cornelius replied by thanking the lodge for the. manifestation they displayed in his welfare in his new office and alluded to the many friendships he had formed in years gone by of craftsmen of Hill Grove and that it was always a pleasure to him to visit and participate in their communications, for ho always in their company felt himself at home and hoped that he would be able to visit them often during his administration. Might Worshipful Marion Grimes, past district deputy of the Third Masonic District, was also announced and cordially received with the honors due his rank. After the transaction of considerable routine business the lodge opened in due form to work tin: Entered Apprentice Degree, the first section of which was conducted under the able guidance of the worshipful muster, who illustrated the several parts with considerable skill.

Bight Worshipful Brother Marion Grimes impressively bestowed the aprons and eloquently conjured them to their line of rectitude and duty in life. Right Worshipful Cornelius presented the working tools and elucidated their use. The demand of a souvenir and ihe i'oreible ness of tiiu dependence of man were illustrated by the worshipful master. The second section was interpreted by Worshipful Master Nathan, of Tuscan, who, in a commendable manner brought to a close the work of the evening. Among those seated in the East were Right Worshipful Brothers James Cornelius and Marion Grimes, of the Second and Third Masonic districts; Worshipful Brothers Nathan, of Tuscan; Crandall, of Ridge wood; Pomeroy, of Exu; Saul, of Yew Tree; Smith, of Acanthus; Critcherson, of Neptune; 67H 9b' 71 Oaniilia southorn i Central Now 1VJH Central Pacific Chattanooga A Ohio 20W Cherf.

While the Long Beach Hotel has a goodly list of guests, the transient travel is as nothing to former years. The week day travel 'to the near by sea shore is very slim during the week, but on Sunday there are too many people for the limited accommodations and there is no end of vexation and discomfort.

The Eagle's correspondents outlino below the interesting occurrences as the prominent resorts Baiwlon The season at Babylon was never more lively than at present. The hotels are all well tilled, and nearly all of tho cottagea are occupied. It is a good season, aud on every hand are to be Been evidences of activity. The city people who make Babylon their home come here for pleasure, and they find it in large quantities. While, the cider portion of the Sttiu mercolony enjoy themselves in such dignified pursuits as becomes them, their sons and daughters drive dull care away in tenuis playing, yachting, driving, bowling, bathing and flirting.

For it must be admitted that at Babylon Cupid puts in his finest work. There are a great many Brooklyn people here, not a few of whom own cottages. Mr. B. D.

How much all these classes of debt aggregate it would be idle to estimate; but the interest and earnings due from us to the foreign owners on account of them are an annual charge of by no means small proportions for which we have to provide the money to pay each year. We are also indebted for our travelers' credits, and this is an increasing item.

One banker illustrated the situation by supposing that a hundred thousand of our people have gone to or are living in Europe this year and that they spend an average of $1,000 each in addition to purchases which go through our Custom House. Perhaps neither of these assumed numbers is extravagant, and yet if we may accept the figures as given wo have to pay to Europe this year the very large sum of $100,000,000 (less otl'sets from foreign travel here), simply to meet what our people are spending abroad for health and pleasure. One other unknown item, nowhere recorded, is the freights paid. The carrying trade is in foreign hands. With these facts in mind, turn for a moment to our imports and exports of merchandise as reported through our Custom House by the Bureau of Statistics.

During the calendar year ISSN there was an adverse balance of 57,09 I For the six months since January 1 the adverse balance is fully as much more. The supposition is that imports, because of the high duties, are invariably, on the average, undervalued, so it is assumed by statisticians that the adverse balance is much larger than the official totals shows. Rut without making any allowance on that account, we think we have given facts enough to indicate the urgency of the need for gold exports during the past six months. With the flow of securities to Europe at a minimum, with travelers' credits at a maximum, with annually increasing interest engagements falling due, with a trade balance largely against us, even taking no count of freight or undervaluations, can any one bo Bnr pried that gold should have to be exported The report of the Bureau of Statistics shows that exports of wheat for the year ending June :50 amounted to Olio. 2 l(i bushels, of which UO.

went from the Pacific ports. The exports for the same time in ISS7 8 were ISO. bushes, of which ao.oO.'t,:! 1 went from Pacific ports. The movement of flour for the last fiscal year was 9,020.880 barrels, equal to 40,020,087 bushels of wheat. This makes an export of only bushels of this grain during the year ending Juno 30, 1S89.

The value of the wheat shipped was $41,2:54.770: of flour, and of corn The total value of all breadstuff's exported for the year was $120.2 1 against for the previous fiscal year. Estimating cotton at petroleum products amounting to $49,420,847, and cattle, dressed meats and dairy products estimated at $100,000,000, we have a total of of our various products exported during the fiscal year ending June 30. The stock market has been irregular again this week. On Monday at the opening there was a sharp rise in Lead and in Sugar Trust, on tho theory that lasl week's scoop had shaken out weak holders and that the market for tliese properties was ripe for a recovery, but there was an immediate decline in these specialties and Chicago Gas Trust, which had an unsettling effect in the early trade. Then came a gradual improvement in the trust properties and in the railroad stocks and the tone was generally strong for the remainder of the morning and in the afternoon until almost when the tendency was downward in consequence of realizations aud bearish pressure, and the market was weak at the'eiosc.

On Tuesday the rone was steady to strong at the opening, but tin re was a fall in Lead and in Sugar Trust, followed by a gradual recovery and about the Northern Pacific and the Oregons took the lead. The. tone was generally strong for the remainder of the morning, but the movement was irregular in the afternoon tending downward in the iast hour and the market closed weak. On Wednesday there was an unsettled tone at the, opening and in the early trade with the tr.i'ot stocks weakest, but the market partially recovered after 11 o'clock, and, although dull, it ivas until toward when there was Alice Keersy, Thomas A.

"Didn't know that Martin was a hero, eh Well, I don't know that he was, but he made a record. He was down at his home in Illinois, steering clear of the draft, when one day all the troops in the neighborhood were ordered down to Vickshurg, where Grant was slowly cornering Pemberton. An officer of one of the regiments which marched lo the front was left'behind for some reason or other, and in a day or so startc out to catch his command by hard riding. Ho was a friend of Martin, and the latter thought it would be a pleasant jaunt to accompany him on his way for a few miles. The two were riding briskly along at aboil! the time Martin was getting ready to turn back, when suddenly the form of a man in a Confederate uniform appeared above a pile of rocks on an adjacent hill.

As soon as he saw the horsemen the rebel dodged down behind the rocks, evidently witli the intention of hiding until they hail passed. It at came into the heads of Martin and his companion that it would be a fine thing to capture that rebel and iead him in triumph into camp. So they tethered their horses, assumed the stooping position of stealth which is traditional with detectives and skirmishers, and crept softly up the hill through a cornfield, Martin grasping an old rusty musket which he had brought along for the purpose of bowling over belligerent rabbits or designing turtle doves. With beating heart and bated breath the two reached crest ot the hill and peered quickly over the rocks. They were confronted by a company of Confederate scouts, with leveled carbines, their intended prisoner in command.

Well, Martin threw away his musket and broke for the cornfield, the officer following; but they were soon overtaken and brought before the man whom they dreamed of leading into camp an their captive. Tiiey were put through pumping process for information as to the whereabouts of the Federal troops, and Martin promptly evolved the hopper that a heavy force of cavalry was right at their heels. But the story had just the opposite effect from that which Martin had intended. The leader of the scouting party rushed them to their horses, and, placing them in the center of tho troop, rushed them oft at top speed through by roads and cross country. The riding was hard, and in deploring ilis mistake Martin concluded to try another tack.

His wits are by no means slow, and by the time the first stop was made he approached the leader and said: 'See here, don't you know that you arc violating tho agreement entered into between Grant and Pemberton as to the inviolability of non combatants I'm a non 'Haven't heard of any repjjed the leader curtly. 'Why, Just before I left home an agreement was published whereby both leaders pledged themselves to refrain from molesting those not engaged in actual warfare. Perhaps you've been out some time and haven't received the "The rebel seemed much impressed at first with Martin's plausibility, and the prisoner's heart rose in a flight of hope. But his hopes were sadly shattered when his captor's face suddenly lost its piizzicd look and ha said: 'Well, I'll just lako you down to Pomberton and find out about "So off they went again, and Martin's shrewd fake carried him clear to Vickshurg.
