Atlanta, August 28.—In organizing the
Atlanta Manufacturers’ Association the
people of the Gate City have embarked in
a movement which should challenge the
attention of every city in the state, and
one which they could follow with marked
benefit.
The object of the association briefly
stated is to foster and encourage existing
manufacturing interests, and to induce the
organization of new ones; but in the de
tails of the association are its most valuable
features. The natural disposition of capi
tal no\y is toward the south. Our southern
country is more prominently before the
people of the north as a place for the prof
itable investment of their money than ever
before. North and east the many diversi
fied industries, which are almost unknown
among us, are as crowded and over run as
are the professions here. Men with capi
tal are constantly on the lookout for some
promising investment.
ATTFNTION TURNED SOUTHWARD.
To all these the south presents
a most inviting field. The inter
course brought about by our exposi
tions and the travel north and south have
removed the prejudices engendered be
tween the sections by the late war, and the
people of the north arc becoming convinc
ed that the people ofthe south are a right
respectable and civilized class of beings,
and that a man from the north is fully
g rotected and respected in his rights.
ur heathful climate, cheap and abundant
labor, splendid water powers, vast coal
beds, virgin forests, limitless fields of cot
ton, and inexhaustible supplies of raw
material of every kind, present unparal
leled inducements to manufacturers.
Then, too, the scarcity of diversified in
dustries in our midst makes the success of
early comers surer and their profits great
er. Besides northern capital there are
northern skilled laborers, northern manu
facturers, northern inventors eagerly look
ing for a field in which to organize and
push their several industries.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SOUTH UNKNOWN.
The principal barrier in- the way
of southern cities is the difficulty
of getting before these people our
many advantages and inducements. A
northern man desiring to start an enter
prise in the south comes to Atlanta, or
Columbus. He presents his letters of in
troduction to leading business men, and
though they are courteous and civil,
he finds them busy with their own affairs,
and without time to devote to him. Then,
too, they are engaged in other lines of busi
ness, and are wholly uninformed about the
matters which are important to him. They
know nothing about mill sites, labor, raw
material, or any of the things ne wants to
know, and discouraged and disappointed
he goes back borne and gives us a black eye
to the extent of his acquaintance and in
fluence.
It is to meet just such difficulties that the
Atlanta Manufacturers’ Association is
formed. This organization will have head
quarters where their secretary can always
be found. The duty of the secretary will
be to procure and have always ready for
inspection the
FULLEST INFORMATION AND STATISTICS
about Atlanta’s advantages and induce
ments to settlers and manufacturers. Mill
sites, powers, labor, material, everything
that would be of interest to a person de
siring information about the city will be
found tabulated and collated there. A man
without money who has a scheme in which
he sees merit can go there and obtain an
audience of capitalists and readily organize
a joint stock company. Men who have
money to invest in an enterprise can go
there and be at once placed m communi
cation with other gentlemen who have en-
terpriseses in which they are seeking to
interest capital, i
The value of such an association is in
calculable, and properly managed will in a
few years be the means of locating here
hundreds of small industries.
WE WANT SMALL INDUSTRIES.
One of the mistakes made by
southern people is the desire to
go into something big. They will
invest in a million dollar cotton factory,
but if you propose to them to go into a
joint stock conjpany with *5,000 or 810,000
capital to manufacture spools, shuttles,
chairs, tables, sun-bonnets, brooms or any
sucli every-day article they decline at
once. And yet there is more money to be
made by the man who owns a half interest
in a $10,000 manufacturing concern than
by the one who has $5000 stock in a million
dollar cotton factory. These small, diver
sified industries arc just what is needed to
make the south prosperous and independ
ent, and give employment to the young
men who are growing up with no iields ol
employment open to them. Atlanta has
taken a step in the right direction, and one
that should be followed by other cities in
the state. The Manufacturers’ Association,
if carried out on the line proposed, with a
competent industrious man ns secretary,
must result in great benefit to the city.

Atlanta, August 28.— Atlanta is having
another spell of scorching weather.
However groundless they may lie, ru

The teachers’ institute, which adjourned

Members of the Alpha Tim Omega fra

A letter written by Mr. J. W. Clayton,
an ex-whisky dealer of Atlanta, winch « as
published in the New York Evening Post
and copied here, has excited a great deal
of interest here. It spoke of Atlanta as a
finished city and pictured it in a deplora
ble light. The Constitution published
three columns and a half of interviews o
business men denying the truth of Mr.
Clayton’s statements.
Tin* Louisville Exposition.
Louisville , Ky.. August . 2S.-To-day
has been a notable one in Louistille, mu
so by the fact that the fourth southern ex- |
position was thrown open to the public for j
the first time. The event was celebrated
in a moBt appropriate way, and everybody
enjoyed n holiday. In deference to the
"vent business men closed their establish
ments and business was generally sus
pended. People from the surrounding
country commenced to arrive early this
morning, and by noon the streets and ho
tels were well filled with strangers. The
procession was one ofthe chief features of
interest during the day. It was made up
of but three organizations—the police de
partment, the fire department and the
militia. Governor Knott,who was to have
officiated as the chief figure at the opening,
was unable to be present because of sick
ness. The exposition was opened by Hon. i
\\ . C. P. Breckenridge. This promises to
be as successful un exposition as its three
predecessors have been.
WINS HIS BET.
A N’eiv York Prrssiiiiiu .lumps from till* Brooklyn
Itrlilge for u YViiger.
New York, August 28.—Lawrence Dono
van, a young pressman, jumped from the
Brooklyn bridge early this morning to
win a bet of 8500. He was picked up unin
jured.
The bet was made two weeks ago, in
the course of a discussion abo- t the
chances of escaping alive from the venture.
Donovan had clothed himself in a pair
of well-padded drawers and canvas shoes
with two pounds of lead on the soles. He
was taken in a covered wagon to the centre
ofthe bridge, where the distance to the
water is about twenty-eight feet greater
than where Brodie tumped at Praper
point. He alighted, ran quickly to
the side of the bridge, climbed
down to the cable, to which he
swung by bis hands long enough
to straighten out, let go and went
straight down to the water, came to the
surface all right and was able to swim a
hundred yards. His friends awaited him
with a boat, .took him ashore, where I
he was arrested. There were plenty |
of bridge policemen at tlieir posts, but
Donovan was over the side before they
could lay hands on him, and it was of
no use to follow him after that.
Donovan, who jumped from the bridge
to-day, was brought into court this after
noon, received a sharp lecture for his folly
and was fined *10.
ON CHANGE.
A Very Bull Huy 111 (lie SI.irk Market. j
New York, August 28.—News received ;
on tiio street to-day was very meagre and [
had little effect upon the prices. The day j
was the dullest for many weeks and flue- i
tuations were small, generally under !. per j
cent, for the entire day. The acknowledge- j
ment of a demand for an increase in .
wages on the New York Centra! road :
was made to-day, but had no effect.
The most important movement in prices
was a drop of 2! per cent, in Manhattan
consolidated. Prices opened steady. The
changes from last evening’s figures were
insignificant, and were evenly divided be
tween gains and losses. Trading was ex
tremely dull, except in special stocks in
the afternoon, when prices yielded small
fractions, closing steady. Business amount
ed to but 95,000 shares. There was not a
single active stock, .ban Francisco com
mon stock led. In some of the usually
active shares there was nothing notable
recorded. The final changes are for frac
tions only, although Pacific Mail advanced
13 and Manhattan consolidated lost 1 per
cent.

Athens, August 28.- Greece lias again
been visited by an earthquake which him
been tlie most disastrous in Moron, and in
which the loss of life according to tlie best
information reaches tlie enormous figure
of 300. The village of Pyrgo nml the town
ofPhillntra, both situated on the western
coast of Morea, were the chief sufferers,
and those furnish, it is believed, all that
have perished, In Pvrgo not a house is
left standing, while PhTliatra is almost
swept from the face of tlie globe,
swallowed up in the convulsions of
the earth. The shocks were experienced
throughout Greece in a greater or less de
gree. In the town of Zante every house
was damaged, and the inhabitants fled in
terror to the open country. Several towns
in Italy were also visited by the earth
quake, but not to any serious extent, Na
ples, Brindisi, Foggia, Caserta and Toronto
being of the number.

fighter,’ ” he went on. “Well, his: ex
perience of Clmrlie Jones at Nyack, when
he broke his jaw, proves that. The
interview says, too, that he ‘stepped
out’ of Tammany hall; but he didn’t, lor
lie was kicked out, and he was the last
man, by the way, who was kicked out.
And when he was expelled lie made a fine
speech, In which he said that he never
could be forced or coaxed into any other
organinatlon, but would get back to Tam
many if lie bad to crawl in|through a win
dow.”
“That’s so.” exclaimed another. “He
says now thnt the county democracy was
organized as a protest against Tammany
methods. That’s good, when you stop
to consider thnt he was at the timo Kelly’s
chief lieutenant nnd chairman of the
discipline committee and that the
county democracy was more of a
protest against. Henry D. Purroy than
against any other man. The very man he
drove out of Tammany, E. Ellery Ander
son, by grossly insulting him on the floor
ofthe hall, he is now booming as the
leader of tne county democracy. A nice
reformer be is.”
“Did on notice his slap at Dick Croker?”
asked a third; “says he is dictating the
nomination ol Grant or Dugro for mayor.
That's simply a bit of malice because
Croker refused to support his views in the
McCabe case. It’s very like Purroy,
though.”
“lie admits that some .of the county de
nim racy district organizations are in a bad
way,” remarked tlie first speaker, “and
well lie might, considering that .Mayor
Grace himself has openly stated within a
week that tlu-re was no organization left of
tiio county democracy. No wonder ho
favors a citizens' movement. I f the county
democracy ever needed some sueli
ruse to pull it out of tbe mud, that time
lias arrived. His remarks about Flynn’s
expulsion are lunny though, considering
that It is not so long ago that tlie county
committee decided that it had no right to
expel a member, but could only get rid of
him by having him dropped by the district
committee which elected him. But the
whole interview is only a bid to tlio citi
zen’s movement fellows to open negotia-
I lions with Mr. Purroy and his'friends.”

GLADSTONE ON THE IRISH QUESTION.
London, August 28.—Gladstone’s' pam
phlet on the Irish question ends with a
postscript dated August 22d, and which is
as follows:
“Since these pages were written the
principal intentions of the ministers in re
spect to Ireland have been announced.
The statesmen who in January deemed co
ercive measures necessary do not now pro
pose them, although agrarian crime has
rather increased, and Ireland ba3
been perturbed (so they saidi
by the proposal of home rule. This is a
heavy blow to coercion and a marked sign,
of progress. J am cotiqbrned to say that
on no other head do the announcements
supply any causes (or congratulation.
First—The large Irish subjects ripe for
treatment ere to lie referred lo commis
sions of inquiry. This is a policy : while
social is in question) of almost indefinite
delay.
Second—Moreover, while the commis
sion is to inquire whether the ratts of judi
cial rents are or are not such us can be paid,
tlie aid of the law for levying the present
rents in Novell tier has been specially and
emphatically promised. This is a marked
discouragement lo remissions of rent and
li powerful stimulus to evictions.
Third- A project Inis been sketched of
imposing upon the state the payment ol'all
monies required to meet the difference
between these actual rents and what the
land can fairly bear. This project is in
principle radically bud, ami if would be an
act of rapine on the treasury and tlie coun
try.
Fourth—Whereas, tlie greatest evil of
Ireland is tiiat its magisterial und adminis
trative systems are felt to lie other than
Irish, no proposal is made for n recon
struction of what is known as tlie Dublin
castle government.
Fifth—It is proposed to spend large
sums ofthe public money on public works
of ull kinds for the material development
of Ireland under English authority and
the Dublin castle administration. This
plan is, first, in lira
degree wasteful; second,

just to none of our nationalities, rests upon
no recognized principle, and is especially
an unjust limitation to the Irish national

! New York, August 28.—As the time for
the fall conventions approaches interest in
the possible candidates continues to in
crease and all sorts of wild guesses are in
dulged in as to who will be the candidate
of the various organizations. An interview
j with Fire Commissioner Henry D. Purroy,
i ofthe county democracy, was published m
a morning newspaper yesterday, in which
! lie expressed his views very freely con-
; cerning tlie present political situa-
1 tion. In that interview the names
of Sheriif Hugh J. Grant and I*. Henry
Dugro were mentioned as possible'Tam
many candidates for mayor, and it was in
timated that they were being pushed for
ward by Commissioner Richard Croker,
whom the county democrats claim is now
' practically buss of Tammany ball. Tile
truth, is. however, that neither is a candi
date, nor will be. Sheriff Grant stated
positively yesterday tiiat he would not be
i a candidate, and lie added tiiat he hud
1 every reason to believe tiiat Mr. Dugro
would not be.
“As for Commissioner Croker dictating
' tlie nomination or being a boss in Tam
many hall,” lie added, “that is nonsense.
| The committee of twenty-four rule Tam
many Hall without any boss, and when
: tlie proper time comes they will doubtless
find a candidate for mayor who will lie sat-
1 isfactory to tlie organization and to tbe
I voters of New York. W^o tbe man will
he 1 am not prepared to say, but I am con
fident tiiat lie will be elected. Certainly
ids name will not be Hugh J. Grant and
almost as certainly it will not be P. Henry
Dugro.”
j 'The Purroy interview caused consider-
I able excitement among the politicians and
no little amusement as well, especially
among the Tammany men. “Henry D,
Purroy posing as a reformer I Will won
ders never cease ?” said the leader of that
organization while chatting with a group
of bis political associates last night, at the
Hoffman house. “He is called a.‘political

Rye, August 16.
Among tbe bright newspaper men of
tin's state we know of no one tiiat shines
more brilliantly than Capt. Kidd, the edi
tor oft hat sparkling journal, the Spring-
field Daily Monitor. Mr. Kidd was bom
in New Castle, Del., ill 1828. Capt. Kidd is
not a relative ofthe famous pirate king of
similar name. In early youth—that is,
when tile captain was a little Kidd, he
hunted the festive oyster as a means of
livlihood and lias been known to bag
catches of this luscious game
ivas a “devil” in John Fagan’s
worksat Philadelphia until 1844.
He served an apprenticeship as a machinist
at Wilmington, Del. In 1818 he drifted to
Chicago where tlie ocean air and exhilarat
ing breeze from a stock yard greatly bene
fited ids rugged nature. In the winter of
I '53 ’54 he landed in Springfield. He was
I successively deputy sheriff, crier of the
! United States court—a seventeen years
I “sit” assessor and collector for Spring*
i Held. Captain Kidd has always been a
democrat, because he is built that way.
| He wus an orphan when four years old
' and completed his scholistie career
in six weeks, Delaware time. He married
i an estimable ludv and has bad six receipts
! for the event. Ills son, a bright chip off of
! tlie old block, is on tbe Kansas City Times.
| The captain avers that ho has had a tough
row to hoc. lie started the Monitor in 1873
and the daily in 1878. He has made a suc-
I cess in journalism and wears the golden
spurs of knightly journalistic honors. We
! present a fine picture of the captain to-day.
i lie is represented in the attitude of read
ing the riot act to his bosom friend, Bill
' Springer.
A liiiuil Sheriff.
New York, August 28.—The Hullivan-
I Herald fight is off, owing to tlie hard-
heududness and obduracy of the sheriff'
of Queens county, on Long Island, where
Hie match was to be. The pugilists and
their backers und friends were on the
I spot, and tickets had been sold in large
numbers for reserved seats, but the sheriff’
was on hand with such a display of force
that Sullivan seemed glad to make haste
away from the neighborhood.
