THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN. THE DAILY SUN. Tuesday Horning August 1. NEW YORK. The Coming Fair. J.ntut ,'VVirj from the Ditastcr—Fifty Killed and One Hundred and Twenty Wounded— Scene* at the .Jlortfue and at the Dotpital. New York, July 31.—Thousands of | .. . i. •! 4 4 . , J people congregated around the Bellevue V e arc pleased to announce that the I ^ 03 ^ ital this coming, eager to hear Board of Directors of the Fair Associa-! something from their friends who were tion is now at work in earnest, and we supposed to have been killed or injured have no doubts now Of tho success of the S b >‘ yesterday’s explosion. A large force r . v . • .i , ,, , of police were engaged in preserving or- air. All obstacles m the way of the A general rush and excitement was operations of the Bisectors are removed, occasioned. Of the forty dead bodies and it will proceed more actively than that were brought to tbe Bellevue Hos- ever with its work of preparation. * P ital yesterday, twenty have already been , r , . . , .. 1 removed by their friends for interment. Onetho most important questions. of th ' bodies stm afc tbe hosp ital, connected witii the success of the Fair, j have been recognized, and will be re moved to-day. In the morgue there are eleven victims of the explosion yet unrecognized. On one slab are the bodies of n woman and two children; on another slab, those of a woman aud child, and on another, that of a woman; there are five bodies of men. Host of the bodies present a frightful appearance, for in addition to the fact that they are swolen and the features dis torted by water, they have, in most cases, been terribly scalded. Since early morn ing a regular stream of people have been passing in solemn file in and out of the morgue, either from curiosity to witness the awful spectacle of the nurecognized dead lying there, or with a painful inter est of trying and yet fearful of not recog nizing amoug the yet unknown victims the features of relative and friend. There are about sixty injured victims of the explosion in the wards at Bellevue Hos pital. The surgeons slate that at least half of them are beyond recovery, v."About 9 o’clock this morning the body of Malildy Nelson, aged seven, killed by the explosion, was found' in the water at the slip of Staten Ferry. The latest news from the disaster is that 50 were killed and 120 wounded. H. W. Wilson, merchant of Louisville. Kentucky, was severely scalded. Colonel Muchi will die. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAIi. Office of Atlanta Daily Sun, ] Atlanta, July 31, 1871. ) that of tl.o trials of speed in horses, will bo settled by tho meeting of Directors to-day. It is much to be hoped that the Directors will not deprive the Fair of an exhibition of blooded stock, as a very largo proportion of the attcndace on fairs is induced by the trials of speed. Some of tho Northern States have discarded horse racing at their agricultural fairs.— This may be admissible there, wliero the population is so numerous as^to sustain such action. But here, where the popu lation is sparse, it requires every possible inducement, not discreditable, to obtain visitors to the fairs to make them suc cessful. The Secretary of the Association, Mr. Echols, starts for the West to-morrow to work in tho interest of the Fair among manufacturers and stock raisers. Wo publish tho following notice from the Secretary Sechetary’s Omci, Atlanta"Agricultural and Industrial Association, Ailanta, Ga., July 31st, 1971 At a meeting of the Directors of the Association which met at 8 o’clock this the .Secretary was instructed to an nounce to the citizens aud business men of Atlanta that tho list of premiums for the coming Fair in October will be issued at ,once. Special premiums offered by individuals or firms will be advertised in tbe city papers and in the Premium List, The Secretary and .the Superintendent of Grounds are ready to transact all busi ness connected with their offices.

It seems that there is no depth of deg radation into which women do not de scend when they leave the paths of recti tude. Downward and still deeper into the quagmire of corruption and rotten criminalty they continue to sink, until all that is in them of humanity seems to fly from the foul, reeking embodiment of moral stench and filth. The law is too lenient for such characters; they ought to meet with instant sand summary pun ishment as a sacrifice to outraged mor ality. Last week two white women and black apes were committed to answer the charge of a violation of the State code, and yesterday three more cases were added to the list. Sam. Manuel, negro, and a white wo man, were bound over for fornication. Hamp Whitehead, colored, and Lizzie McDonald, white, bound over for forni cation. Booker Lawson, an apology for a white man, and Ferreby Lawson, a negro wench, were also bonnd over for the same offence. These cases were all examined before Justice Butfefe, and revealed an amount of degraded sin we did not suppose to exist. It is to be hoped they will never be allowed to go at large again. There is no such thing as reformation for creatures who have sunken so low in the scale of human degradation, and it is further to be hoped that they will be fully and com pletely abandoned to the clutches of the law/ Policeman Kicklighter deserves the thanks of the public for his services in hunting up these miserable wretches.— He proves himself a good and efficient officer, and. well deserving of promotion and compliment. TUc Hoard of Trade. We find that there is an enthusiastic movement on foot among our merchants to have Major B. E. Crane, of the firm of Williams, Langston & Crane, made Presi dent .of tho Board. Mr. Crane has not been in the city for some weeks, but gen tlemen who feel the deepest interest in the success of the Board of Trade move ment, are anxious to have him selected as President. He will make a good one.— Ho. is an active young man, and one of the best merchants in Atlanta; aud if the choice should fall upon him he will exert himself to make the Board a successful Jjatesl 1’arliciMnrs of the Ills inter. ‘Fifty-nine deaths have been reported thus far, and one hundred and forty-two wounded. The Westfield attracts large crowds to where she lies moored at the foot of East 13th street, in charge of Coroner Young. All human remains, bits of clothing, etc., have been removed by the firemen to the Morgue. - • The force of the explosion was upward, blowing away the main deck, the cabin deck and the hurricane deck, in almost a straight line across, a little forward of the center of the boat. The bulwarks forward were blown away, and the metal shade around the funnel lies at the bow, crumpled as if it had been paper. Iron pipe, an inch thick, joined to the steam supply chest, was torn away like doth and hurled against the side of the boat. Two water tanks were forced backward toward the stem a considerable distance. The after part of the cabin is compara- tivdy uninjured. FRANCE. iTIiscellaneoits French Matter3. Paris, July 31.—The fact that but few ballots were cast at the ^municipal elec tions, and that the great mass of voters abstained from the exercise’of franchise, is generally attributed to the continued state of siege of Paris, which exercises a baneful influence upon all classes of so ciety. The immense porcelain factories at Sevres, the work in which has been en tirely suspended since the commencement of the siege of Paris by the Germans, is to be at once re-established. Thel acceptance of the resignation of Jules Favre, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been confirmed. President Thiers is consulting with Gen. Cissey, with a view to increasing the army. , The number of Communists awaiting trial is 32,900. In order to render a dis position of so great a number of cases possible, a bill has been introduced in the Assembly increasing the number of judges and removing all restrictions from those judges who have, at any time, committed themselves against the Ver sailles Government. g£The result of the first and supplemen tary elections for members of the Mu nicipal Coundl of Paris has been de clared. The Council is composed of 38 Conservatives, 7 moderate Republicans, 27 Republicans and 10 Ultras. Thiers, replying to a delegation from ihe occupied provinces, intimated that, in six weeks the occupation by tbe Ger mans would be limited to Champaire and Lorraine. TENNESSEE, Jrrest of a Counterfeiter—Death of Captain Todd. Memphis, July 31.—R. B. McGee, for merly a citizen of Trenton, Tennessee, and prior to tbe war, President of the branch of the State Bank at that place, was arrested here to-day, charged with passing counterfeit money. On search ing his baggage §1,200 in counterfeit United States notes were found. Owing to the high social position enjoyed by McGee, bis arrest has caused considera ble sensation. Capt. David H. Todd, formerly of Lex ington, Kentucky, and brother of Mrs, Abraham Lincoln, died at Huntsville, REMARKS FOR THE WEEK. During the week ending to-day, trade has been unusually brisk for the season. It has been a source of pleasure to see so many evidences of prosperity. The week has been marked by several important events for the commercial men of our city. The first is the movement set on foot for the establishment of a chamber of commerce, which bids fair to have a happy termination. This is a subject which had been previously pretty well canvassed and received the endorsement of every intelligent business man in the community. At the meeting held for that purpose on Saturday night, Mr. Nor- cross struck the key note when he refer red to the defenceless condition of Atlan ta, and her inability to meet, with a uni ted front, any encroachments sought to be made by railroad and other monopo lies. While other cities have their organ izations by which they were fully protec ted, Atlanta has suffered grievously from freight discriminations. All this, he ar gued, must bo remedied, if wo would, have Atlanta a great commercial empo rium. With Mr. Norcross we most fully agree, and hopo.that on the meeting of next Monday night final organization will be completed, and then our commer cial status will take shape and develop it self into activity. Another, and a lamentable, incident of the week was the injury, to a great extent, of the cotton crop by the recent storms. The promised crop was small, but now is much more so, judging from conversations with leading planters. We cherish the hope that the injury has been exaggerated. As we have remarked in a previous article, this cannot fail to influ ence the cotton trade of the coming sea son. Tho third event of interest was the re duction in breadstuff’s. The Western market was very fluctuating, but the ten dency to fall has been very strong, and as we write flour is reduced 25 cents, and so of the rest. This we deem an impor tant fact at this time, and one indicative of still further decline. In general matters, such as dry goods, money, hardware, etc., much spirit has been exhibited, though: the tendency to speculate has been interfered with by the tightness of money. REMARKS FOR TO-DAY. The general turn of the market to-day has been dull, and but little retail or wholesale demand has been felt. Mon day, as a general thing, is a dull day, as it is spent in surveying the situation for the coming week. As business does not set in in good earnest till tbe second or third day, much fluctuation in quotations is not to be looked for. The leading de mand seems to be for breadstuffs and dry goods. In agricultural implements there is much competition, and quite a strong tendency to “come down” on other deal ers. This branch has, in the past year or so, grown to be quite an item in our trade. It is one which we are proud to see encouraged, as it indicates intelligent farming. We have been told that all im proved patterns have been eagerly bought up. During the year the seed trade has developed into some prominence, and is still receiving a great deal of attention. We learn that one of our most intelligent young dealers contemplates making ar rangements so as to get his supply of seeds direct from the growers instead of th8 dealers. This movement, if effected, will occasion a revolution in prices. FINANCIAL. Money matters have been quieter than at any previous time during the week.— Our eagles seem to be afraid of getting their feathers clipped. Atlanta cent, bonds seem to be very uncertain, for which one Banking House quotes them at 83®85c., (the quotation found in our lisT;) another, of equal reliability, values them at 7o@80c., which, it will be observed, is an important difference.
