Details of the Alms nn(I Object* of tile Nnnufbc. tirern’ Assni'latlon—It Will Foster nail Kii- coursKe Kxlstlmr Institutions mill Induce the Orgmtlntlon or New Ones. Special to Enquirer-Sun. 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. A Postal I'lcrk Am-steil. Atlanta, August 28.—William Peake, acting railroad postal clerk on the Rich mond and Danville railroad, was arrested in the Atlanta post office this evening tor opening letters. Tito Krtviiiiindi* Not nisliiinili'il. Atlanta, August 29.—The Savannah base ball club deny the rumors of their disbanding. A special from Savannah an nounces that they will pass through At lanta to-morrow en route for Nashville. Striiy Shots. Atlanta, August 28.— Atlanta is having another spell of scorching weather. However groundless they may lie, ru mors are still current here that the Louis ville and Nashville railroad has secured a controlling interest in the Central railroad and will henceforth dictate its policy. The teachers’ institute, which adjourned yesterday, had 559 teachers enrolled, against 413 last year—500 whites and 59 colored. The daily average attendance was 151 against 128 last year. Governor McDaniel is in Monrot to-day. Members of the Alpha Tim Omega fra ternity living within a hundred miles ol Atlanta are requested to send their ad dresses at once to Mr. Frank A. Warren, secretary, Atlanta, Ga. It is said a pleas ant surprise is in store. . ... , 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. ON THE TRACK. The Result of Yesterday's Hares at Snratnim. Saratoga, N.

YYo congratulate the county on 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. Violent Klincks in Mgypt.

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.” TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.

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, regri _ . f out' former solicitor-general, Hon. T. W.

Sixth—The limitation of tlie local gov ernment in Ireland to what may at this moment lie desired for (Jreat Britain is just to none of our nationalities, rests upon no recognized principle, and is especially an unjust limitation to the Irish national desire. In ray opinion, such a policy for dealing with the Irish question ought not to be, and cannot be, adopted. IndHiiri. RESOLUTIONS BY THE CONSERVATIVE AS SOCIATION.

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 many fin bird. He slereotypi 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.

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.
