GOOD TIMES LOOKED FOR
DUN & CO. STILL GET ENCOUR
AGING TRADE NEWS.
The Past Week One of Sensations In
Stocks, and of Moderate Trading and
Changes in Other Speculative Mar
kets— Money In Good Supply In
Nearly Every Section.
New York, Sept. 21. —R. G. Dun & Co.’*
review of trade for the week says:
It has been a week of sensations in
stocks and of moderate trading and changes
in other speculative markets. The volume
of legitimate business continues to improve,
though less than many anticipated. Crop
reports are altogether favorable as to corn,
but loss clear or satisfactory respecting
vi heat or cotton. The general average of
prices has again declined slightly, and the
fall since Aug. HI is nearly 1 percent, the
advance in July and August having been
about 2}-*' per cent.
In stocks the severe reaction, averaging
$3 per share, culminated last Saturday, and
t here has since been an average advance of
$1 50 per share, with a rapid rise in some
securities that had been sold for future
delivery on foreign account or otherwise.
BANKERS DISAPPOINTED.
Bankers are somewhat disappointed be
cause the movement of products and the
demand for money do not increase as rap
idly as the reports of large croi s had led
them to expect. But the crop which is
most important in railroad or financial
respects is not large; the yield of wheat is
8.1,000,000 or 90,000,000 bushels short of a
full cron, with much uncertainty and very
contradictory reports about the outcome in
the spring wheat regions.
Heavy rains, late i:i the season, have also
injured cotton, certainly to some extent as
to grade, and probably as to quality, though
no accurate estimate of the injury can yet
be made. That the crop is unusually late,
alto, and in parts of the south the disturb
ance caused by yellow fever interrupts op
erations.
A feeling still prevails that a large bus
iness may be expected for the coming sea
son, though fuller supplies of monoy at
western and southern centers may cause
the demands upon New York to be lighter
than usual.
THE MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
The official reports show that the monoy
in circulation of all kinds was about
81,361,000,000 Sept. 1, against $1,321,000,000
a year ago. Reports from interior points
show that money is generally in ample sup
ply, though the market is tight at Atlanta.
Collections have so far improved that com
plaints are now very few. For speculation,
money here is in abundant supply, but for
commercial uses the market is growing
harder.
It is still noteworthy that a feeling of
great confidence as to the future prevails,
and the iron market grows harder at Phila
del phi a.
Coal moves largely on past contracts and
the output thus far is 8 per cent, in excess
ot last year.
In wool prices are a shade higher, but the
demand for goods is still unsatisfactory.
Purchases of manufacturers are more mod
erate.
FOREIGN TRADE.
Foreign trade has improved a little, hut
the exports for the past three weeks from
New York are still 9 per cent, below last
year, while the imports here show an in
crease of 9 jter cent.
The preliminary statements for August
show that the exports of breadstuffs, pro
visions, cattle, cotton and oil were $8,577,
338 smaller than for the same month last
year, or 28 per cent., but last year’s exports
for that month were exceptionally large.
Wheat ha- been moderately active with
sales of 29,000,000 bushels, and cent net
advance m price, while corn lias declined
1 , oats Jj'c., and oil %c. Pork products
are highe . Cotton has advanced l-16c.,
with sales of 404,000 bales, and eoffe
with sales of 406.000 bags. Hides are
steady, but leather has advanced fully le.
The rapid advance in bar silver from
43.50 to 44.19 per ounce, marks
an increasing European demand for
Indian products. Meanwhile the exports
of wheat from this country for July and
August amount to 18.500,000 bushels, flour
included, against 35,750,000 bushels last
year, and the supply remaining for export
is probably about 24,000.000 bushels greater
than last year’s exports for the rest of the
crop year.
Ihe business failures occurring through
out the country during last week number,
for the United States, 200, and for Canada
28, a total of 228, against 217 last week.

the Carrollton Railroad.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 21.—A bill has
been filed in the United States district
court for the appointment of a receiver for
the Rome and Carrollton Construction Com
pany in favor of the Chattahoochee Brick
Company. The Chattahoochee Brick Com
pany claim that the Rome and Carrollton
Construction Company are indebted to
them for work done on the road and for
material furnished to the amount of
#157,1147 75. The Chattahoochee Brick Com
pany ask that the construction company bo
made to render an account for the work
pe: formed by them under the contract
made between them on Nov. 1; that the
amount of damage done them be ascer
tained; that a decree be rendered fore
closing the mortgage held by them on the
road; that provision for the sale of property
be made; that a decree be rendered against
the construction company for the amount
ascertained to be due the Cbattahooonee
Brick Company; that the defendant be
restrained from interfering with the prop
erty, and that a receiver be appointed to
take charge of the entire line, with au
thority to hold and nia :age it, subject to
the order of tho court, and that the Rome
and Carrollton Construction Company b?
made a party to tho bill.
THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT.
The Cbattahoocheo Brick Company had
a contract wnh the Rome and Carrollton
Construction Company for building about
100 miles of Ihe Rome and Carrollton road,
which runs from Chattanooga to Carroll
ton. The brick company claims that the
construction company was obliged to
complete the road by July 1 or
forfeit a subscription of SIOO,OOO
made by Chattanooga. The brick company
claim that they were ready to build the
road, but that the construction company
violated their contract, causing them to
lose $08,191. The construction company
refused to pay for the road at its comple
tion on account of some misunderstanding,
and in order to save the road
the Chattanooga subscription the
brick company allowed trains to be
run upon it. They say that the construc
tion company is making some sort of ar
rangements to turn the road over to the
railroad company, and hence the filing of
the bill. Judge Newman ordered that the
defendant be made party defendant, to the
bill and granted a temporary restraining
order, and fixes Saturday of next week as
the time for the hearing of the bill.
FELLED FOR HIS MONEY.
A Negro Found in the Woods Near
Atlanta Dangerously Injured.
Atlania, Ga., Sept. 21.—Early this
morning someone reported at police head
quarters that a negro was lying dead in the
woods near the glass factory. As the loca
tion was outside tho city limits the sheriff
was informed of the matter. Deputy Sheriff
Perkerson went to the place on horseback
and found the negro, but he was not dead.
His skull was crushed and there were ugly
knife wounds about his head aud body. He
was brought to the city and taken to the
Ivy street hospital. His name is Gus Spear
and ho has been workiug on the East Ten
nessee railroad. Last night lie was paid
off and started to Atlanta with his money
in his pocket. That was the last seen of
him until this morning, when he was found
in tho woods. Spear was unconscious, and
could give no account of wfiat had happened
to him. When found, his pockets were
empty, showing that he had been robbed.
Tho sheriff thinks he has spotted the men
who made the assault, and the arrest of
three negroes will probably follow.
BAGGING FROM PINE LEAVES.
A Successful Test of a New Substitute
for Jute.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 21.—An im
portant test was made here to-day, which
promises untold benefits to the entire south.
Two bales of cotton were covered with pine
straw bagging, at present manufactured
near Wilmington, N. C. They were put
through the cotton press, where they were
subjected to a pressure of 1,000 tons, and
were given to a gang of longshore
men, who used their nooks freely, tossing
the bales about for fifteen or twenty
minutes. The bagging stood the test.
Water was next poured over the bales, and
was shqS as freely as by the jute bagging.
Fire was applied to both jute and pine
straw bags, and there was no difference in
the result. Tests were also made as to the
staining of cotton, with equally satisfac
tory results. At the close ot the experiment,
which was witness si by many members of
the cotton exchange, it was the unanimous
opinion that a substitute bad been found for
jute. The two bales were sent to New
York to-night, and will be exhibited at the
New York cotton exchange. The new fiber
is made from the leaves of the pine, which
is the prevailing forest wood all over the
south.

HORRIBLE POISONING.
A Woman Sets a Trap for Her Hus
band, and Both Perish.
Ottawa, ONT.,Sept. 21.—A horrible esse
of poisoning is reported on the shores of
Lake Temiscamingue. For some time past
Mrs. Boivine has been anxious to get rid of
her husband. An opportunity occurred on
Sunday last when the man complained of
feeling unwell. His wife sugge-ted a dose
of epsom salts, but instead prepared a (lose
of strychnine. The Inis',mud was suspicious
of the mixture and refused to take it. To
satisfy his scruples the woman took a spoon
ful herself.
OVERREACHED HEKSELK.
This induced the husband to take a full
dose, but the woman miscalculated the
strength of the poison, thinking that a
spoonful would not hurt her. A man
named Greiner called m shortly alter, and
found the woman’s muscles twitching’ from
the effects of the poison, uud her husband
in convulsions. The woman explained what
was the matter, and tho man wont for as
sistance, but when it arrived both were
dead.

Kentucky, the Senate bill was passed
authorizing the L misville Southern Rail
way C 'inpany to construct a bn Ige across
the Kentucky river in Kentucky.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1888.
KILGORE DELIVERS THE BILL., i
Mr. Stewart Introduces a BUI Sug
gested by the Incident.
Washington, Sept. 21. —Representative
Kilgore, acting chairman of the House
committee on enrolled bills, called on the
President this morning, and delivered to
him the Chinese exclusion bill.
The President has received official in
formation of the refusal of the Chinese gov
ernment to ratify the amended treaty.
In the Se. ate this morniug Mr. Stewart
introduced a bill regulating the presenta
tion of bills and joint resolutions to the
President of the United States, which, after
brief discussion, was referred to the com
mittee on rules.
It makes it the duty of the speaker of the
House and of the president of the Senate
to have bills and joint resolutions presented
forthwith to the President in person, and to
have them reported to their respective
houses.
Mr. Stewart also offered a resolution re
citing the statements in the public press
that the presentation of bills to the Presi
dent is frequently delayed for several days,
and sometimes for weeks, by the House
committed oil enrolled bills, and resolving
that the .Senate, as a branch of the legisla
tive depari meat of the government, call the
attention of the House of Representatives
to such delays in presenting bills to the Presi
dent of the United States and ask the House to
require its officers to present such bills
without unnecessary delay. He desired to
submit some remarks, but ns it had been
agreed thatjthe agricultural department bill
should be taken up immediately after the
morning business, he deferred his re
marks until that bill would be disposed of.
It was ordered that when the Senate ad
journed to-day it would be to meet on Mon
day.
All last evening and all this morning Mr.
Kilgore kept getting telegrams from San
Francisco and Sacramento democrats urg
ing him to deliver the Chinese exclusion
bill to the President promptly, lest the
democrats of California should suffer by
the delay. Inasmuch as China has rejected
the treaty the Presideut w'ill probably sign
the exclusion bill.
CRAINE AND THE TRUSTS.
He Aske Right of Way for a Bill But
Objection is Made.
Washington, Sept. 21.—1n the House
to-day Mr. Craino of Texas asked unanim
ous consent to offer a resolution authorizing
the committee on the judiciary to report to
the House at any time for immediate con
sideration a bill providing by legal and
judicial proceedings for the suppression
and prevention of trusts. He asked that
the resolution be referred to the committee
on the judiciary because the House had
practically no committee on rules, three
members of that committee being absent.
He was informed that none of them would
return. Both parties had denounced the
combinations or conspiracies called trusts
and the president had declared tho opposi
tion of the administration to them. It
seemed that the committee ou ways and
means was confessedly unable to present to
the House any measure on the subject of
trusts, and he thought it was due to the
people of the country that the House
should be authorized to havo the right-of
way with legislation of that character.
Mr. Hopkins of New York objected.
PUBLIC LAND LAWS.
The House Passes the Bill to Suspend
Certain of Them.
Washington, Sept. 21.—1n the House
to-day, Mr. Holman, from the committee
on public lauds, reported back the bill tb
suspend the operation of the pre-emption,
timber, culture, and desert land act. The
bill was so amended as to strike out all ref
erence to suspension of the laws, and as
amended it was passed. It now simply pro
vides inat during the pendency of measure,
now before congress in relation to the for
feiture of certain lands heretofore granted by
congress to railroad corporations, and
thereafter no act done or performed by any
such corporation shall in any wise enlarge
the right or claim of any such corporation
to any lands covered by any such grant,
or diminish any right now existing in the
United States to declare forfeiture thereof.
This provision shall not be construed to
effect or diminish, or waive any right now
existing in behalf of the United States to
declare forfeiture of lands embraced in any
such.

Her Mother and a Doctor.
Washington, Sept. 21.—Mrs. Cleveland
and her mother left this morning for a ten
days' trip in the Adirondacks under the
escort of Dr. Ward of Albany, who accom
panied President and Mrs. Cleveland on
their former Adirondack trip, and who has

land at Oak View for soveral days. Con
gress has kept Mrs. Cleveland here
all summer. She was to have
gone to stay with Mrs. Lament at
Sorrento, and thon was going with
the President to the Adirondacks, but the
summer passed and she could not go to Sor
rento, and now the President has about
given up all hope of getting away for more
than two or three days at a time; so Mrs.
Cleveland has reluctantly changed her
plans. She is very well, thanks to the quiet
comfort and good air of ()ak View.

mer, Saulsbury and Hale, the vote was

GAINESVILLE’S STORY.
A Detailed Account of the Trip to
Fernandina and the Outbreak.
Gainesville, Fla., Sept. 21.—8 y order
of Gov. Perry, the Gainesville Guards, to
the number of twenty-six, rank and file,
left here on a special train at midnight on
Thursday to go to Fernandina to quell a
riot in progress there. The Ocala Rifles
joined the train at Waldo. At Starke eight
men got on, and at Baldwin fifteen men
from Ellaville joined the party, occupying
the same car with the Gainesville Guards.
The train arrived in Fernandina at day
light.
The Gainesville Guards were commanded
by Capt. J. K. Webster, Capt. Lambeth
being pro tem. first lieutenant. They were
in Fernandina five days.
Arriving there on Friday morning, after
being up ail night, they immediately went
on duty, Friday night slept under arms in
the armory on the window blinds, unhung
and placed ou chairs for this purposo.
Saturday all the company were on picket
duty around Mr. Howell’s house and ex
posed to the rain and storm during the
night. They had no extra clothing, and
consequently no change when they came
off duty.
HARD LUCK.
Sunday night they again slept in the
armory, as before, on the blinds and under
arms, ready for an instant response to a
call. Monday night the Gainesville guards
and Ocala rifles rebelled against this treat
ment, aud went to the Egnnmt hotel for
beds at their own expense. Tuesday after
noon, at 4.20 o’clock, they left for home on
tho regular train. The Gainesville boys
bore the brunt of the duty, for the reason
that they were better disciplined than the
other commands present.
The question of quarantining the Guards
on their return from Feruaiidina was dis
cussed by tho local board of health.
Finally, it whs decided to admit them. On
their arrival, they were worn out bv unex
pec eel and unprepared-for exposure to the
weather and hardships. That some were
sick, did not at first cause any suspicion,
and they were visited by friends and rela
tives. Their symptoms growing suspicious,
everybody began to realize the dread possi
bilities of these being cases of yellow fever.
the patients.
Lieut. E. Evans was first stricken sick;
then Privates B. Miller, J. A. Ammons and
J. Waugh quickly followed. J. Hodges and
W. Wilson completed the roll of the sick.
011 Sunday the doctors attending these
cases held a consultation, and found that
all had similar symptoms, not yet suffi
ciently developed to decide positively that
it was yellow fever, but seriously tending
that wav. .Sunday night there was further
development, and It was at once declared
to be yellow fever. It was announced in
the churches, and the people immediately
began preparations for fleeing from the city.
AU night long every available vehicle was
kept going, and by daylight there was but
a small number of people left in town.
Ropes were stretched around the infected
houses and armed guards stationed with
orders to allow no one to emerge from them.
Yellow flags were nailed on tiie gates and
those remaining in the city realized the
situation before them.
AN EXCITING SUNDAY.
As tha day wore on. many refugees re
turned to got such medicines and disinfect
ants as prudence suggested, told the where
abouts of their places of refuge, and laid in
a stock of provisions. Only two provision
stores wore open. These were full of cus
tomers, eager to get off before nightfall.
Wild reports of new cases and deaths were
heard. On Monday evening Lieut. Elam
Evans died.
Tuesday dawned bright and clear, and
the reports from the sick ones were favora

TEXAS REPUBLICANS.
A Proposition to Fuse Results in a
Wrangle.
Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 21.—The re
publican state convention met yesterday,
held two sessions and adjourned until to-day
without accomplishing anything definite.
The two sessions ware devoted to a wrangle
between tho no ticket, or fusion faction
and the straight-outs, the former securing
the chairmanship.
A resolution was introduced by Judge
Osterhout of Belton, declaring for a fusion
electoral ticket with four union labor and
three prohibition electors on it, but it was
laid over.
The convention adjourned to-day, after
adopting a resolution declaring it inexpe
dient to nominate a state ticket, owing to
the fact that there is no reasonable proba
bility of its election. A resolution was
adopted indorsing the national ticket and
deploring the outrages recently committed
in Fort Bend and Washington counties.
