slon.
Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—Two firemen
were killed and and one injurod by the fall
ing walls of the Jackson building this after
noon. The three men were at work in the
ruins of Sunday’s fire. The high walls were
condemned yesterday as dangerous, and
would have been pulled down to-morrow.
A few* minutes after 4 o’clock a terrible hail
storm broke suddenly upon the city, and
people on the street shouted to the firemen
that the Pryor street wall was toppling.
The three had already started for tho street,
but the crash came before they could get
out
ONLY ONE ESCAPED.
One of them fortunately got in a door
way, and escaped with a few injuries.
IV. P. Leach fell upon the sidewalk under
a mass of brick.
H. O. Howell was buried just inside under
the grating portion of the falling wall.
Leach was taken up lifeless, and carried
to the undertaker’s.
A force of firemen and police began work
at once to recover the body of*Howell.
RECOVERY OF THE BODY.
The body of Howell was extricated at SI
o’clock to-night. Heath apparently re
sulted from suffocation, a; his face was
black and only his breast bone "as frac
tured. The body was carried to the under
taker’s and laid beside Leach’s. Coroner
Avary delayed the inquest till to-morrow,
because of its public importance and the
determination to fix tho liability where it
belongs. Each of the dead flroinnn leaves
a wife and four children in almost destitute
circumstance. The widest sympathy' has
been aroused for them, aud a popular sub
scription will be started to-morrow
for the benefit of the families.
Several hundred dollars were subscribed
for both families to-night. Howell was a
cousin of E. P. Howell, and not a nephew,
as reported.
Fire had broken out among the debris
and the men were there to put it out.
The storm also completely demolished the
Baptist mission church, near the Hast Ten
nessee shopa. The loss is about SI,OOO.
The fence of the base hall park was
blown down, and buildings were sligntly
damaged in different parts of the city.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Standard OU Millionaires Make a Little
Deal lu Gas Mtock.
Chicago, April 24. — A special dispatch
from Ht. Louis says: “The New York-
Philadelphla syndicate which stole into
St. Louis about throe weeks ago and paid
$3,500,000 for the Laclede Gas Works has
just distinguished itself by capluriitg
the other gas company at a nominal
cost of $5,500,000, making a total
investment iu S-'t. Louis of $9,000,000 in less
than a woek. The agents were supposed t’>
bo acting for tbe Vanderbilts and August
Belmont. When, however, James O’Con
nor and W. W. Gibbs appeared upon the
scene it became evident that the Equitable
and United Gas companies of New York
and Philadelphia, in other words, Roeka
feller. Warden, Gibbs and other
Standard Oil millionaires were at
the back of the purchase. lu
accordance with the usual formula the
gas companies of the city will lie consoli
dated, an immense trust form -.1, and $lO,-
000,000 of bouds, and $2,500,000 of preferred
stock issued, the syndicate thus coining into

BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.
The Preeent the Brightest Period in Its
History.
Baltimore, April 24. —The Manufac
turers' Record in this week’s issue will
publish special reports from leading bankers
all over the south as to the condition of
business in their vicinity, stating that the
views of the bankers were secured because
they are the best possible authority on the
financial condition of their section. The
Record says:
In the north there is complaint of dullness;
in the south activity never before equaled is
seen in every line of industry. The people are
not only hopeful but enthusiastic. The steady
progress of late rears has brought about
a season of prosperity which has infused new
life into everybody, ami the whole south is alive
and at work.
PRO NBA AT A DISCOUNT.
Drones are at a discount: energy and enter
prise, ceaseless, tireless vim and push are now
the controlling factors in tbe south. Reports of
bankers scattered from Virginia to Texas with
out exception tell of great improvement in
business; of activity in trade and manufactures,
and of enthusiasm which pervade* ail classes
of citizens, farmers and business men alike.
COULDN’T BE SURPASSED.
This, says the Record, is probably the most
uniformly favorable summary of tbe condition
of business in an area as great as tbe south that
could ever have been made In giving some
reasons for this prosperity tbe Record
says that during the last two years
it has reported the organization in the
south of upward ot 10,000 new industrial
establishments, covering every line of manu
facturing and mining from making pins to
building locomotives, and this building of nearly
0.000 miles of railroad, and the product ion of
the largest crops ever raised in this section,
which yielded fairly good profits to farmers.
PRODUCTS OF THE SOIL.
During these two years the s. .uth raised over
14,0 #O.OOO bales of cotton, over 1,000,000,000
bushels of corn, nearly 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat and 180,000,00i bushels of oats, the total
value of these au 1 other agricultural products
reaching an aggregate of unwards of $1,000,-
000,000. or an average of $800,000,000 a year.
SPECIMENS OF THE REPLIES.
The character of the reports from bankers is
shown in the following from a few of them:
Tiie First National Bank of Florence, Ala.,
reports: "Business n a sound financial as is
and activity unprecedented in this section, with
money easy. Thirty or forty new factories have
been located here in the lust few months.’’
The Firsl; National Bank of Athens, Teun.,
says that section was never before half so pros
perous, nor the outlook half so flattering.
MORE PROMISIN'!} THAN EVER.
The Planters’ Bank of Danville. Va., reports:
“Prospects more promising than ever before."
The First National Bank of Fort Worth, Tex :
“An era of unprecedented prosperity," and
adds that farmers are jubilant over crop pros
pects.

speaking for all that section, says: "A better
outlook than for twenty years and the people
united and enthusiastic.”
The First National Bank of Romo, G., says:
"Business is very active and increasing aud the
people are full of h*pe and enthusiasm.”
Lehman, Durr &Cos., bankers of Montgomery.
Ala., say: ‘‘Not a single mercantile failure for
the year and everything bright and promis
ing.”
A NEW ERA.

says: “Brighter than for ten years.”

There has been very little book emboidery
since the middle ages; probably not a dozen
good examples were ever executed in this
couutrv, and some difficulty was exper
ienced in fludmg anybody to take the com
mission. A clever young woman from the
Cooper Union art school, who has designed
many of the beautiful and highly Japanese
bird flights and 11 >wer sprays aud delicato
grasses and brauches of youog leaves which
make the summer cre(ies and tissues and
and oriental silks exquisite, ant whose
work has appeared on some of the ornate,
embroidered altar cloths which pretty peni
tents sometimes offer at Easier as the visi
ble fruits of their lenten retirement, finally
undertook the task.
A heavy dark green silk velvet was tue
stuff selected, and the design was Mrs.
Harrison's monogram tor the middle of the
cover, surrounded by conventionalized
sprays of the Indiana golden rod, aud tbe
whole inclosed in a border repeating the
leaves of the burr oat, the characteristic
Hooeler tree which Mrs. Harrison remem
bered in the patterning of her inuguratiou
gown. Tbe velvet was stretched flat in a
frame and the designs worked out in gold
and siver threads, the only materials which
can be trusted not to fade or tarnish In wear,
a sufficient margin being loft not to cramp
the binder, and the bottom cover being left
wholly plain. The work, when completed,
attracted so much attention that it would
not be the un’ikeliest thing in the world if
it started a fashion. Dozens of young
women are trying to copy it, and they do
not find it difficult if only they are cau
tiously modes, and choose simple patterns
suited to the limitations of the spaoo at
command. Now and then a fine volume is
worth the pains of the quaint old erclesias
|Botj embroidery, but it would be labor
wasted ou books to be tossed one side iu
a month and a day.
Sometimes one wonders where all the dress
designs which the host of pattern books
send out month after month are obtained.
This is a point on which Mrs. Chapin, the
handsome wife of the Brooklyn mayor, got
a little light while on a shopping tour the
other day. Mrs. Chapin always dresses
well, and on this occasion she wore a par
ticularly well-fitting and deftly draped
cloth gown. The cash girl responded very
slowly to the tap which summoned her to
take the purchases for wrapping, and when
she had passed out of sight with the bundle
she might have gone home for luncheon for
any sign there was of the reappearance of
Her blue eyes and yellow braids. The sales
woman apologized for the delay vary
sweetly and the delinquent bad a contrite
face and a story of detention by the pres
sure of Easter shoppers when the brown
paper parcel was finally returned.
There was trouble too at the cashier’s
desk. The change was a good many min
utes in the making, and when the little cash
carrier whizzed along the electric railway
into the depot just above the saleswoman’s
bangs the money which should have been
forthcoming was short half a dollar. “So
sorry to detain you,” said the lips below the
bangs.
At the other end of the counter a young
girl was sketching. She had a drawing pad
in her hand, her eyes studied Mrs. Chapin
and her fingers fiew. She hail the right
side of the pretty gown ou paper, then sue
made an errand to the counter opposite and
filled in the left panel. In a moment or two
she lifted her finger. The spell was broken.
Tire floorwalker himself was bringing the
change to a farthing ad escorting the cus
tomer t-> the door. Did Mrs. Chapin pene
trate the little mystery? Well, 1 am in
clined to believe that before the by-play
was ended she had an inkling. Did the
copying of her dress annoy her? Most
wome i under such circumstances feel them
selves a iittle flattered.
The house in question sends out a huge
quarterly catalogue. The girl who stole
the dress pattern earns a large salary sup
plying the designs. She originates them,
she picks them up on the streets, she com
bines three or four or half a dozen good
imported gowns. Dresses to be useful for
such a catalogue roust possess two merits,
they must be simple enough to be within
the reach of the home dressmaker and they
must be good form, iD the prevailing mode.
To be responsible for them is no sinecure,
but a bright girl can hardly find a more
profitable business; it nets this one who
gives her whole time to it $2,500 a year.
The prevalence of the Directory aDd Em
pire fashions revives the fancy for fine,
hand-wrought braiding and embroidery.
Why is it that we are able to get so little
of such work done in this country? All the
best of it is imported and must be imported
until skill is greatly increased among
American needlewomen. Knowing the
wretched wages paid for slop sewing done
on contract, some practical women are try
ing to discover what stands in the way ot
our workingwomau, that they cannot put
thought and intelligence into such dainty
stitches as are taken by the French and
Belgians, and so get the finer and better
paid grad as into their hands. Mrs. Annie
Jenness Miller has a Directory gown in her
Easter wardrobe, which she shows with
some pride as an example of American
braid i g, but specimens of work as good as
the imported are rare.
It is the same with the costly underwear.
Yesterday one of the Easter brides-eleet
was choosing her trousseau. For a single
set of undergarments iu filmy linen, hand
embroidered till each article was little more
than lily sprays held together by lace ten
drils, she paid $420. Would you suppose a
woman would purchase a suit of that sort
ready made? But she couldn’t get it made
to order unless she allowed months of time
for the firm to get the work put out to
needlewomen m Bordeaux or Marseilles.
We can’t humor extravagant fancies in
America. Our needlewomen would fare
better if they could minister to luxury, even
of such a senseless description.
Now and then one comes across a woman
who ranks with the shrewest speculators
and dealers in city real estate. One of
these recently bought a house in Harlem
for $21,000, and sold it within a week for
$20,000. Another woman who keeps her
eyes well open to what is doing has been
picking up quietly a few nice little bits on
the wonderful west side. If she were to
realize on her investment to-morrow she
would find that she ha I acquired in four or
five years a tidy little fortune. If sne holds
on she may find the little fortune expanding
into a big one. A widow recently put her
husband’s life insurance into a three story
fiat, lived on the top floor and ronted the
other two. As laud rose iu value she s >IJ
out and bought elsewhere. She has turned
her money over three times in all and will
shortly be independent, E. P. H.
