I Washington, December 29.—Subscrip- , tions to the fund for the benefit of Mrs. Logan received by Mr. Ionium up to date aggregate $25,000. Gevel*nd Improving. Washington, December 29.—The presi dent is steadily improving in health. He has not resumed his office work yet, how ever, as his physicians advise him to secure as much rest as possible. Itnynionil’H Failure. New York, December 29.—Charles H. Raymond, a dealer in supplies at 121 Chambers street and 103 Reads street, made an assignment to-day for the benefit of his creditors to James M. Oakley, with preferences amounting to $206,699. Ray mond has dealt in hardware supplies for twenty-five years, having for his heaviest customer the United States government. He dealt mainly by sample, carrying no stock worth mentioning. His warehouse was at 103 Reade street, and up to about a year since, he was reported to be very wealthy, and his credit was of the best. But since then he has been lax in his payments. He once owned sixteen or eighteen first-class pieces of real estate in Brooklyn. This assignment to Jus. M. Oakley, of Jamaica, L. I., was filed in Brooklyn this afternoon. The amount of liabilities is unknown, but they are estimated to be nearly $500,000. Raymond is a silent partner with George II. Creed in the supply business and at their establishment nothing was known regarding the financial trouble of Ray mond. The Thrilling Story of Their Capture Continued.

A New Iran, Steel und Charcoal Oompaay lo Or ganize and Halid Furnace*. Chemical Works aad a New Town With $5,060,000 Capital. Nashville, December 29.—A movement of vast importance to the material wealth and prosperity of Nashville has taken shape. A company called the Nashville Iron, Steel and Charcoal Company will, this week, be organized and have for its objects the erection, during the year 1887, of two charcoal ttfty-ton|furnaces, und alto charcoal and chemical works under the Pierce patents, for the treatment of 80,090 cords of wood annually, for charcoal, wood alcohol, acetate of lime, and other woo l products. Inexhaustible iron ore beds lie within easy railroad and river communica tion with this city, and an unlimited amount of wood can he delivered in Nash ville by .way of the railroads and Cumber land river at prices not higher tliuti the average furnace companies of the United States imy. The citizens of Nashville have agreed to donate a site near the city, running 1003 feet on the Cumberland river and 1600 feet, deep, in all about, forty acres, on which to erect the furnaces, roiling mills, steel and chemical works. Tiie promoters of this movement are members of the Standard Charcoal, Iron and Chemical company, with a capital stock of $5,000,000 Their headquarters are in Nashville, and the officers are: E. W. Cole, president; J. M. Head, vice-president; J. C. MoRoynolds, secretary, and H. M. Pierce, general manager. Among the stockholders are such men as E. W. Cole, Dr. T. A. Atchison, T. D. Fite, Judge How ell E. Jackson. J. C. Neely, of Memphis; E. H. East, M. A. Spun - , J. M. Head, 11. M. Pierce, and others. The books of the new company will be opened in the offices of the Safe Deposit Trust, and Banking company at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning. The above gentlemen see in Nashville the capital and largest city in Tennessee, and, next to New Orleans, one ot the most important commercial cities in the south, over two hundied cities and villages and an immense agricultural district being de pendent upon her for their supplies. They believe that the establishment of large iron and steel industries will not only be remunerative to those organizing and operating them, but that such industries will be of inestimable benefit in building up Nashville. In order to carry out at reasonable cost these extensive plans, the company have purchased very near the corporate limits of Nashville an immense tract of land of nearly five square miles. On this they pro pose to build a new town. The entire tract cost in the neighborhood of $300,000. On this property all of the works above re ferred to will be located. The Northwest ern railroad will run a branch road from a point near their machine shops to the new town. The owners of the property will in addition lay a track from a point on Spruce street to town, and run dummy cars to and from Nashville every thirty minutes. This will connect the new town directly with the old, so that each may derive all the advan tages to be furnished by the other. A cable railroad company with $330,000 | capital has been chartered to build a cable I road from Confederate Hill, in the extreme \ east of Nashville, to the extreme west of | Nashville. ^ PUSHING UP POWL/ERLY. Murmurs Among tlie Uluglits Against Their I'hliT. Chicago, December 29.—A morning pa per says that the movement in opposition to Powderly’s mandate in reference to tlie anarchist liind and the united labor party hus been started by the socialists, it is in the form of a letter to Powderly from an outside standpoint, to be signed by 190 leading socialists. The knights of this city are protesting against what they claim to be his arbitrary interference with the rights of the local assemblies. A letter, which, it is stated, will be dispatched this week, sets forth the amount of the assessment' which each member pays pro rata, which is levied for the support of the district stale and | g: neral assemblies, and claims that after j ali these obligations, are discharged and the local expenses are paid, each assent j bly should be at liberty to devote any ; surplus which it may have at the end ot | any quarter for the promotion of any object which it. may see fib. It iurther j characterizes Powderly’s recent order as I having been issued by him at tlia request j ot a small clique in Chicago, who do not ' represent tlie majority of the knights and i who wish to govern by the use of the chief j executive’s whip. It warns linn against being led away by old fogies in tlie labor movement. It protests against the action he has taken, and explains that his action ; will be interpreted as having been taken ! in the interest of capital and old political parties. It asks for the appointment ot a committee to investigate i he labor matter in this city and demands me revocation ot the order issued. It also explains that uu- , 1-ss the latter is done his authority in this city in the majority of local assemblies will : not be recognized. I,,.I i s Hear When They Do Something. Alexandria, Vn., December 29.—The annual meeting of the Virginia Midland j Railroad Company, adjourned from week t 0 W eek since the 12th lust., met at noon L-dav at the office of the company, Gen. Wm F Payne being president and E. Snowdens secretary. It appeared, upon j the appointment ot a committee on ere- | dentiafs, that a quorum of the stock was ..resent. No business was transacted, how- , ever, and the meeting adjourned till Jan- ■ uarv 5, 1887. I Leavenworth, Kansas, December 29.--- When the Rock Island train arrived last night four men in charge of another hastily left the rear conch, and jumping into a hack were rapidly driven toward North Leavenworth. A reporter caught a glimpse of the man covered by the other Four and saw the well-known face of Fred Witrock. The detectives, with their prisoner, were driven directly to WitroeK’s residence. When the reporters, who had followed, reached the house, the party had entered. In a moment thereafter njoans could be heard in the house coming from the mother and two sisters, who were clinging to the now noted train robber. The reporter besieged the house but failed to gain admittance until reinforced by Colonel Anthony, of the Times, who employs one of the Witrock sisters as a book-keeper. With Anthony’s aid an entrance to the house was effected. But both newspaper men were promptly ejected by the detectives. Their subse quent efforts to interview the inmates of the house through closed doors and win dows produced small results. But shortly after midnight the detectives who brought Witrock to this city left Witroek’s house with their prisoner and repaired to the hotel, where they took a room and re tired. While the two officers were absent with young Witrock from the house, Mrs. Witrock was induced by the reporter to toll wlmt she knew of tlie case, as her son’s connec tion with it could not be concealed. Be tween broken sobs she admitted that Fred had participated in the robberv, but would be released, as he had confessed all to the detectives. She said that shortly after the robbery Oscar Cook came to Leavenworth and visited her one evening, and after talk ing to her for some time said Fred was in trouble; that ho had made a large sum of and steel works. The Daily Age, of this city, claims that, it contains errors in the Tradesman’s Alabama statistics. The Ago says: Instead of only six furnaces building in Alabama, there are thirteen in process of construction and ten actually projected, the building of the latter to begin us soon as t he former are completed. Of the fur naces building, 11 are within a radius of 10 miles of Birmingham, the other two being at Sheffield. Ot the furnaces projected six are within a radius of ten miles of Birming ham, and three at Sheffield and one at Florence. The Age estimates the annual capacity of the furnaces now in blast and projected at 872,800 tons, and of the plants projected 357,000 tons, or what will alto gether very soon assure Birmingham or tho Ala ama district an output of a little more than 1,200,000 tons of iron. GATE CITY GOSSIP. A Batch iff Items From the Shite Capihil. Atlanta, December 29.—The cold wave flag flops in vain from the custom house cupola und Atlanta still enjoys warm weather. The clouds are somewhat ominous to-day, however, and it is not im probable that we will have an inclement, day for new year’s calling on Saturday. The number of houses will bo few in At lanta, but n large number of ladies will congregate at each place. Interstate Agricultural t'onvcntlnn. Atlanta, December 29.—Governor Gor don has received a circular letter from Governor McEnery, of Louisiana, notify ing him of an interstate agricultural con vention to be held in St. Charles, La., on the 22d of February, 1887, and asking the appointment of delegates from Georgia agricultural societies, farmers’ clubs, etc., and promising hospitable entertainment lor the same. Al|iha Tail Otnrgn. Atlanta, December 29.—The delegates to the Alpha Tau Omega national congress continue to arrive on every train, and the session opened this morning with about a hundred present. The ddress of welcome on the part of the fraternity was delivered by Mr. W. A. Hay good, a prominent young lawyer of this city.

This she agreed to do, and the money was left in her possession. Some time after this another young man who lives in this city, but whoso identity she refused to divulge, called and left another package of money, and, on two other oc casions two other young men called at dif ferent times and left money, which they said hud come from Fred. When asked if she know the amounts or sum total she said she did not; that they were large pack ages, but she had never counted it, believ ing implicitly in Fred’s story, and thinking she was aiding him by caring for his property, and not dreaming but that he came by it honestly. She had no occasion to use any of the money, having money of her own. When asked how the detectives happened to be here searching her house she said, “When f read of Fred’s arrest I immediately wrote to the express company telling them of the money and requesting them to come to Leavenworth and that is undoubtedly why wicy are here.” This seemed to bo about all Mrs. Witrock could tell and lb,, reporter passed to another room where two of the detectives were seated. In re sponse to a question as to the amount of money they had recovered they disclaimed any knowledge of any money having been found at the house. They were told what Mrs. Witrock had said and then admitted that a large amount had beeu secured. When asked where it had been secreted he said that some of it was found under a barn, but not on Mrs. Witroek’s premises. They after wards denied this story, and said that tlie details as told by Mrs. Witrock were sub stantially correct. At t his juncture a knock was heard, and the officers who had been absent with Fred Witrock returned. Pinkerton was asked abou the amount of money recovered. He at first deniecithat it was that he was here for and that any money bad been recovered. When asked what an empty tin box had contained which was standing near by, ho said it was $19,000, and bore all indications of not having beeu tampered with, but could not say. PINKERTON FULLY EXONERATED MRS. WITROCK and family. They had only done what others would do under the circumstances. “They have done nothing wrong,” said Pinkerton, “and I anticipate that wh -n we come to examine what we have g< Atlanta, Dec saber 29—The public session of Alpha Tau Omega convention has been postponed from Thursday to Friday evening, and the exercises will close with a banquet that might. To-day’s session was private, but well attended, and the convention is pronounced a success by the fraternity men. A Noonday Blaze. Atlanta, December 29.—About noon to day the fire department was called out by an alarm from box 26, and the fire was found in the residence of Mr. A. M. Speed, way out on Simpson street. It caught on the roof from a defective flue, and was ex tinguished with buckets of water without serious damage. Stewart'* Opinion. Atlanta, December 29. —The Constitu tion will, to-morrow, print an article from J. A. Stewart, a well-known expert, in which the cotton crop is claimed to reach only 6,000,000 bales. A Stilt stolon. Atlanta, December 29.—John Harde man. colored, living at Smyrna, in Cobb county, lodged a complaint with the police department, to-day that the body of his son buried in Smyrna Sunday afternoon had been stolen from the grave, and he believed was in a medical college in At lanta. He took out search warrants and officers went through the three colleges here. A number of stiff's were found but the body of the missing boy was not among them. The old man went home much disappointed and perplexed. The Atlanta liblt-s. Atlanta, December 29.—The Atlanta Rifles, a new and popular young military company, gave a ball at the Kimball House to-night, which was quite a success. Tho object was to raise funds for purchasing dress uniforms, as the members are only provided with fatigue uniforms now. ON CHANGE.

Another report states that the Dervishes defeated Abys- sinians at Sabderut. MR. HEALY’S SPEECH. Mr. Healy in addressing a mooting at Glasgow said he was glad to see signs which indicated that Mr. Chamberlain was returning to the liberal fold; bethought it was extremely unlikely that laird lFar- tington would enter the conservative cabi net. Regarding tile plan of campaign which the national league is conducting In the interest of the Irish people, Healy denied that there was anything dishonest in the movement. POLITICS, The Pall Mall Gazette says: Lord Ran dolph Churchill is not satisfied with the explanation of his resignation which the Marquis of Salisbury has put forth, and has declared his intention of explaining the premier’s explanation. This, Lord Randolph says, unduly narrows the issue, and he will emphasize what he calls the growing divergence between himself and Lord Salisbury on nearly every political question. Lord Randolph will also, the Gazette says, maintain that the govern ment’s army and navy estimates which he opposed were excessive. The Gazette adds that Lord Randolph Churchill expressed the conviction that new toryism, of which he is the representative, will eventually predominate over that represented by the majority of the present cabinet.

Lord Chamberlain hus changed his mind and has informed Lord Salisbury that he will do his best to induce Lord Hartington to accept office. The situation therefore has materially changed. It is possible that Lord Hartington will accept office, although the whig unionists distrust Chamberlain's good faith and are prepared to urge Lord Hartington not to accept office. Simp ly owing to that distrust, tlie queen will hold a council on Friday when parliament will be prorogued to January 27. N|min. THEY'LL HANG THE PRIEST.

When Logan whs nominated he stated positively to his friends that ho would not conduct that kind of a campaign. There should not bo a drop of whisky in his era, who were in many cases interested i his polities. The lead- in the grocery trade, remonstrated, but ho remained firm. They told him he would certainly be defeated. ‘Very well,' be Baid, ‘I want to run on that plan and get beaten If necessary.’ The result surprised every body, as he was elected by an overwhelm ing majority. It is a mistake that Mrs. Logan planned his campaign. Logan did this himself, but perhaps his wife’s advico had greater weight with him than any ono else. When he made a few spceclies in Kansas last summer he was suffering very much nt times with rhcumaiic pains, but it is my opinion that his death was hurried on by being overworked since that time.” SAYS SHE SOLD OUT HER PARTY, j Mr*.

In tho state senate two years ago Senator Bills, in defending his position in antagon ism to that assumed by bis party on tho liquor issue, made a direct charge that Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, tho noted advocate of pro hibition, had at a previous election receiv ed $1000 from tlie state central committee in consideration of having successfully used her influence to keep out of the field a prohibition state ticket. This assertion found wide circulation at the time, but was never publicly denied by Mrs. Foster herself, although sl’ie sat in the senate gallery and heurd Senator Bill’s charge. It was renewed last summer by a Dos Moines correspond ent of Life, u strong prohibition organ but anti-Foster. John S. Bunnells, chairman of tlie republican state committee at the time was understood to have lieon tho financial agent through whom tho alleged negotiations with Mrs. Foster were con ducted and the money paid. A state offi cer, in speaking upon this topic to-day, said that the brother of Mrs. Foster, linving been delegated by that lady to hunt down the authors of the charge against her, is now intent upon securing a retraction of these damaging accusations. In order that no doubt may linger about the $1000 matter it is understood that Mr. Rimiiclls has prepared an absolute denial of having been directly or remotely connected witli the affair, and will demand its publication in Life in contra diction of the articles supposed to have been the productions of Mrs. Laura Berry, of Dus Moines, and Mrs. Lucy Hooper, of Mount l’lensunt,. Mrs. Berry was seen to day and stated that she felt quite confident Mr. KimiicUs would not put liis numc to any such statement, but tliut if he did she would lie compelled to refresh his memory by producing certain evidence previously furnished by himself of a decidedly contra dictory character.

After this demurrer and motion to quash were o erruled an amended answer to tho petition was tiled by counsel for the road, and the judge announced that he would proceed at once to hear argument on the merits of the case. Roth sides of the ease were then fully discussed. General A. R. Lawton and J. R.
