TRADE CONTINUES GOOD.
A FALLING OFF IN THB NUMBER
OF FAILURES.
The Holiday Trade Reported Satisfac
tory at Moat Points-General Trade
Heavier Than Usual for the Season
at Many Points—The Movement of
Products Continues Enormous.
New York, Dec. 24.— The buiineae fail
ures occurring throughout the country
during the last six days, reported to R. G.
Dun & Cos., number for the United States
857, and for Canada 85, or a total of 292, as
compared with the totals of BSS last week
and 330 the week previous to last. For the
corresponding week of last year the figures
were 833. representing 303 failures In the
United States, and thirty in the Dominion
of Canada.
The holiday trade is not always a just
measure of the prosperity of the people, but
It is satisfactory to know that at most
* points it is unusually large this year. It
Indicates that the people feel able to expend
more liberally than usual, and it returns
i large outlays to the manufacturers of holi
! day goods.
GENERAL TRADE.
* The general trade this season Is usually
.light, merchants being engaged in taring
stock, but at many points it is reported
* larger than usual and eyen larger than last
year. The volume of trade measured by
■ the clearings at various cities outside of
New York was 8 per cent more than lust
‘ year for the first half of Deoember and
r' later reports show an increase of about 9
i per oent.
The movement of products oontmues ex
! traordlnary.
Reports from other cities show less com
plaint as to ooilections and large trade in
progress. At Baltimore the trade in cloth
ing, dry goods and boots and shoes is good
for the season.
At Philadelphia the Jewelry trade is un
usuaHy busy; the grocery trade light, bat
equal to last year's; the trade in tea, ooffee
and Bugar fairlv active, and in ohemioals
quiet and steady; while tobaoco, liquors
and wool are quiet.
Southern oities report lets oheerfully than
others, the low price of cotton causing dull
ness.
THE GREAT INDUSTRIES.
The great industries close the year with
more than the usual activity, even the
woolen mills having orders enough to keep
them fairly employed and a number have
recently started, but none shut down.
Cotton manufacturers find a good de
mand and numerous enlargements of plants
are reported.
Shoe factories oomplaln that the osual
orders are lacking, and yet they are fairly
active.
Paper mills are busy and making many
additions of machinery and buildings.
The iron manufactories have been turning
out more pig than ever before, though some
works stop for the holidays, and the tone of
the market is stronger, with rather more
demand for finished produots. Speculation
continues moderate, wheat having risen 1%
cents, with sales of 18,000,000 bushels, corn
'fearing declined 1 oent and oats a fraction.
Coffee It unchanged, oil X cent higher, and
pork unchanged.
cotton’s drop.
Cotton baa dropped one-sixteenth below 8
cents, with the reoeipts from the planta
tions exceeding last year’s to date by 560,000
bales.
Avery large output of ooafl leads op
erators to expect lower prloes.
The stock market has been stronger, with
an advance of $135 for the week. The new
railroads built in 1891 cover 4,158 miles,
making 171,000 miles in operation.
Exports oontlnue enormous, for the three
weeks in Dsoember from New York exceed
ing last year’s 35 per oent; and remittances
abroad having closed, foreign exchange is
heavy and declines to $4 88%.
The treasury has paid out 11,400,000
more money than it hat taken in during
the week, although tbs receipts of internal
revenue are large for the month—more
than 86,200,000.
Money is plenty and cheap, and there is a
general feeling that favorable conditions
will continue for some months.

A FALLEN GIRL'S HARD LOT.
Her Identity Discovered by a Man
and Life Made Miaarabla
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 34.—Two well-known
young men, W. E. McMillen and Lem Deem,
were arrested to-day for fighting. At the
tame time a young girl, giving her name as
Emma Jones, was taken in custody. The
arrests were made in a building on
Broad street. It developed that the
f;irl's real name was Hmythe and that
or months she has been clerking In a lead
ing Whitehall street millinery establish
ment. It is also said that she belongs to a
family of high standing in Indianapolis and
that she came here to save a d.sgra -e to her
family and lead a respectable life among
strangers, wbo did not know of her false
step. To-nigbt the girl was in a
delirious condition and would have
taken her life but for the attention of
friends at the boarding house where she has
been living.
A STRANGE STORY.
She tells a very strange and pathetio
story. Some time ago she met McMillen at
her boarding house. He discovered wbo
she was and made her life miserable
by his persecution. She left the
boarding house to escape him,
and ten days ago was taken
sick in the house of a highly respectable
lady. Yesterday the girl, who was in bed,
was horrified by reoeiving a note from Alc-
Millen. Among other medloinee prescribed
by the physicians attending was whisky. A
bottle of this was at hand and to settle her
nerves the girl took ad ae. It overoome
her and in a dazed condition she got up and
left the house.
MET HSR PERSECUTOR.
On the street she came face to faoe with
MoMlllen, and together they went to a
place where the girl says he gave her some
thing to driuk, after which she says she
remembers nothing until to-day, when
found by the polieo In the room on Broad
street, at the door of which McMillen and
Dean were arrested for lighting. The lady
in whose employ the girl has been speaks
of her conduct in the highest terms, and a
good deal of indignation is expressed at her
treatment.

FORBIDDEN CITY OF OLD MEXICO.
Never Entered by White Man and In
Existence Before the Conquest.
From the Chicago Tribune.
City of Mexico, Dec. 18.—Juan Al
varez, who has just returned from an ex
ploring expedition in the southwestern part
of the republic, reports that he haa found a
city which has never been entered by white
men, ar.d which hrs evidently been in ex
istence before the time of the conquest of
the country by thf> Spaniards. It is an old
Aztec'city, and the approaches to it are so
guarded by nature that tt is an Impossibility
to reach it if the inhabitants du not want a
traveler to get in.
The city lies in the almost inaccessible
mountains in the region lying in the ex
treme southwestern part of the country,
and is so far away from dvifisatlou that
few white men have ever been in the neigh
borhood. It was by the purest accident that
Alvarez became aware that a city was any
where in the vloinity, and after he found it
all of his endeavors to reash it were una
vailing on account of the persistent opposi
tion of the natives.
He had been traveling over the mountains
In search of an outlet to the Pacific ocean
when be came to the top of an elevated
plateau and orossed to the further edge.
He had a magnificent view, and, while
looking over the country, saw what he
took to be hooaes in a far distant valley. A
close Inspection with a glass soon convinced
him that what he saw was really a collec
tion of houses, and be at once sec about
reaching the place to seo who lived in that
part of the country.
After days of hard work olimblng over
cliffs and mountains he reached a place
from which he obtained a good view of the
city, and saw that it was regularly laid out
in streets and was peopled with a race who
knew something about oivilization. The
houses were of stone and were surrounded
by yards lu which were growing flowers
and shrubs. On all sides were evidences of
taste shown by the inhabitants, anti it was
evident that be bad found a city which
was not known to the outside world.
A careful examination of the country
showed him that the city was within a
natural amphitheater and was accessible
from one side only. He saw that the only
means of aocess was through a long aud
narrow defile which led into the mountains
from the Pacific coast side, and he started
to reach the place where be could find this
entrance. Ho made an outline drawing of
the city as it appeared to him from the dis
tant mountain top, and this is all he has to
show that there is a city within the heart
of the mountains, for he waß never allowed
to reach the spot.
From this drawing it is plain that the citv
has not less than 4,000 Inhabitants. The
houses are all of stone and are supplied
with doors and window*. In tin center was
a large building, w hich was undoubtedly
the temple of worship, for on its walls ooul.i
be seen sculptured designs representing the
deity. It was in the shape of the ancient
teocalli, which are to be found lu many
parts of this country, aud tho people could
be seen passing in aud out of it dunng all
houis of the day.
After ten days’ arduous work Alvarez
found himself at tho foot of the mountains
on the western slope, and set about search
ing for the canyon leading to the city. He
had so well marked th-: lay of the land that
he had no difficulty in finding the eutrance,
but ho wns met by a band of Indians who
refused to let him proceed. They offered
him no violence, but insisted that he should
return. He told them that he had come
over tbe mountains aud that be did not
know how to get back.
After a consultation he was told that be
would have to remain awhile as a prisoner,
and two runners were sent into tho mount
ains, who returned in a day with orders
from someone in authority, and Alvarez
was blindfolded and placed on the back of a
mule. He traveled in this condition for
three days, only having the bandage re
moved from his eye* at night.
Ou the fourth day he was told to remove
the bandage, and when he did so he found
himself on the borders of the Pacific ocean.
Tbe Indians bad gone, leaving him with
nothing to guide him back to tho place
where he had teen the city.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1891.
A SUPERB INSTITUTION.
THE GEORGIA NORMAL AND IN
DUSTRIAL COLLEGE DESCRIBED.
lira. W. W. Gordon Tells of Her Visit
to the College and What Bbe Saw
There—The .'lane for Girls Who De
sire a Practical Education —Every
thing Betokens a Prosperous Future.
A Suggestion With Respect to Chat
ham County.
The Board of Ladles of the Georgia Nor
mal and Industrial College met Gov. Northen
for the first time by appointment at
Millegeviiie on Dec. 17. Seven of
the eleven ladies were present. Few
people, I am sure, realize the great
work this Institution is doing for the yonng
women of Georgia; aud yet it is a subject
in whioh every citizen in the state should
feel an interest.
I am sura I echo the sentiments, not only
of the board of ladies who were present,
but also of the governor, and of the other
visitors, when I say that this normal col
lege, its buildings, its corps of teachers and
its 134 Dupils, called forth the surprise and
the admiration of eaoh and every one.
The grounds comprise twenty acres, lo
cated in the heart of the town. In the cen
ter of these grounds rises a stately and
spacious brick structure, admirably planned
and substantially built by the state of
Georgia. Its wide oorridors, broad stair
cases and large, well-lighted classrooms;
its sunny, cheerful library, its spacious
chapel ana Us thorough system of heating
and ventilation, oil commanded our heart
iest admiration. Every department is
especially provided for. One room is fitted
up as a cooking school, for these young
women are to be taught to cook, and to
cook well. Another room is arranged as a
dressmaking establishment, where a score
of bright girls were learning under an ex
pert and practical teacher how to out aud
fit by rule.
There was a room devoted to telegraphy,
where ten or twelve clever young peopje
sat, each at her oam instrument, sending,
receiving and reading messages by sound,
in a manner that certainly did them much
credit. There was one room full of embryo
typewriters and stenographers, all alert and
eager. In another room was a class of
twenty or thirty. learning practical book
keeping, and their beautifully kept lodgers
showed the neatest and most legible of hand
wrlting. We went in to listen to a class in
arithmetic.
The governor propounded several difficult
suras, which the pupils dashed off correctly
on the blackboard in a manner that did
them wonderful credit, and compelled me
with grief to admit that such fraotions were
altogether too "vulgar” for ms.
One of the most interesting rooms was
that devoted to free-hand drawing. About
forty girls wore busy in this department.
Some were modeling in clay, others were
designing patterns for tiles, wall papers, otc.
I saw thoro a beautiful original design done
by a young girl who had only be
gun in this room a few weeks
ago. She was from away up in
the mountains of Georgia and she had never
seen or known of anything of this kind
until she entered this institution, whore her
freat natural talent at once asserted itself.
hero were designs there also by a girl of
about 15, which would be gladly utilized by
some of the noted art exchanges in our
largest cities.
Iu the “studio” of the oolleee drawing
from casts is taught, as well as crayon
drawiug, and painting in oils, and In water
colors. Music, both vocal and Instrumental,
Is also taught, but these branches are op
tional, and if pursued are subject to an ex
tra charge of $5 each a month.
The regular curriculum provides a full
collegiate course. Including Latin.
Tho corps of teachers, takea in its en
tirety, is tae finest I have over seen, and I
have been tbrongh and investigated a
great many of the best schools in our large
cities.
No girl in any station in life nee 1 desire
a finer education than she can obtain In the
Georgia Normal and Industrial College, and
she gets In addition practical instruction in
brauches that are not taught at all in the
usual courts at other schools and colleges.
These young women are so evidently in
earnest I There is no nonsense about them.
They have oome here for a purpose, and
they are carrying that purpose out with all
their power.
Every girl that graduates from this col
lege, and goes back to her own section of
the country, will be like a light set on a
hill that cannot be hid.
What a power she will be! How she will
help other struggling girls to something
higher and better! There are two kinds of
letters that are constantly coming to the
teachers of this oollege. One kind comes
from the young women who crave knowl
edge—who long for a ohance to get an edu
cation. Many of these letters are very
touching. One writes: "I am lama. I
cannot partake of these advantages myself,
but I have a young sister who has much
talent. How can I get her inf and what
would it cost? We are very poor, but we
would try to raise the money to educate my
sister,” etc., eto. The other kind of letter
is an appeal for a graduate of the college
to be sent to fill some Important position,
for skilled and well-trained workers are in
great demand.
After wo had gone all over the building
and had seen the classes at work we went
over to the dormitory. This is in the old
executive mansion which has been re
modeled as far as practicable to fit it for
this purpose.
It has large cheerful rooms and lovely
grounds but it can accommodate only fifty
pupils. This is a great pity, for the oollege
can recieve and teach about 300. All tbe
pupils who are not among these fortunate
fifty have to go to the expense of boarding
in the town, which entails an additional
outlay of SSO a year. It is to be hoped that
eomo future legislation will give the $13,000
needed to add enough room to accommodate
a couple of hundred more pupils with board.
How much better lodged and fed those
yonng girls are than pupils were thirty
years ago in the largest and most noted
French boarding schools in the oity of New
York! Here were large bad rooms, kept in
beautiful order by the girls themselves;
each with its cozy coal fire, bright
lamp, comfortable chairs and conier
table; here was a cheerful dining
room with its array of tables, each
seating six girls—the table linen spotlessly
white, the glass and china bright and shin
ing. All the waiting on the tables and the
washing of the dishes, etc., is done bv
details of six of the girls. These serve
weekly in their turn, under the supervision
of the lady matron, who fills this post with
marked ability.
Tbe big, convenient kitchen Is presidsd
over by an old-fashioned oolored ocok, who
furnishes the girls with excellent home fare.
In the face of all these privileges one
fact stared me In the face and made me
sad.
Among all 'these young womo there wa.s
not a single one from Chatham county 1
Ti e yearly cost at this Oollege to one of
those lucky fifty who can get board in the
dormitory is but SIOO. This sum includes
the uniform, which consists of an Oxford
cap and a neat dark brown dress. There
are no extras, except a small sum for books.
Those who board in tbe town must, as I
have said before, spend about $l5O a Syear,
instead of $ 100.
With such an education, offered at suoh
o price, our rising generation of girls ought
to ho a most cultivated and usefin one.
The college library is one, as yet, only In
name. There are no books —but there
ought to bo some.
Who will send me tome standard works
for that library? not novels or trash, but
books of history, literature and travel. If
every one In Savannah who has a book case
would take the trouble to go over it and
select one or two volumes which they oould
well spare, we could send a large box of
books to the normal oollege to start the
library, and if only 800 of our citizms
would form a loan association with a sub
scription cf 5 cents each a month, wa
c juld send a girl from here to that state
normal reboot every year, thus giving her
an absolutely frw education. She could
ropay that association by easy Installments
after she had began to be eelf-supporting.
This plan is pursued in Mississippi and
other statee with great success.
Mrs. Atkinson, the wife of W. Y. Atkin
son of Coweta oounty, to whose untiring ef
forts in the legislature Georgia owes this
normal college, was unanimously elected
president of the board of lady managers,
and Miss Hunt of Sparta, secretary. Th „e
interested in the oollege ere urged to try to
send books for the library, and to aid this
important instituli >n in every way in their
power. Mrs. W. W. Gordon.
WEDDED AT WAYCBOSS.
Theodore A. Bailey and Miss Agnes
Parker Married.
Waycross, Ga., Dec. 24.—One of the
prettiest events that has occurred la the
social life of Way cross this season, was the
marriage at the Methodist church Wednes
day night of Miss Agnes Parker to Theodore
A. Bailey, a prominent youDg dentist, of
this city. The ceremony was performed by

BURGLARY AT THOMASVILLE.
Tho Cracksman Gets sls Out cf B. F.
Waters’ Store.
Thomasville, Ga., Dec. 24.— A very
neat piece of burglary was practiced upon
B. F. Waters Monday night. His store
was entered and sls in caeh and some
whisky stolen. The thief entered by using
olbit and brace, doing very neat work.
His scheme had been well planned and tho
neeeseary cutting and boring had been
marked off during the day time. Strangely
enough, tho scoundrel left $1 In small
ohauge iu the cash drawer. This would
seem to indicate that he was not a mean
man if ho was a burglar, as he could have
taken tho small change as well.
Mr. Auld has bad shipped from a Florida
miuo to Tbomasviile a carload of oxide of
iron ground uo and packed in bags like
guano, lie claims that it has oured the root
rot in orange trees and he thinks it wl!l
provo a specific agaiust blight in pear trees,
hence the shipment. It will be given a triol
by our pear growers.
