A BOOM BOUND TO COME.
All the Conditions For Better Times
at Hand.
Th>* Stocks of Goods Piled Up By
Overproduction Practically Wiped
Out and the Slightest Increase in the
Demand For Staples Will Necessi
tate the Turning- of Every Wheel
Now Idle—Money Going Begging
For Borrowers.
New York, Jan. 26.—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade to-morrow
will say: “Secretary Carlisle's decision
to issue bonds, and the eariy reports of
large bids for them, helped to accelerate
the recovery of industries and trade, as
was hoped last week. The sale of the
amount offered will check anxiety about
the maintenance of note redemption, re
move the only pretext for further issues
Of paper, and thus give a solid basis for
greater confidence regarding the financial
future.
“The increase in the number of hands
employed adds to the purchasing power
of the people, and dealers' stocks are so
reduced that any sign of larger consump
tion quickly gives mills more orders. In
ahort. the conditions are such that, if cot
interrupted by adverse forces, they
would naturally bring a steady revival of
business.
THE INDUSTRIAL GAIN.
“The industrial gain is more definite
than a week ago. Few establishments
have stopped work, while many have re
sumed or increased production, and
though these are not works employing
thousands each, the aggregate increase is
Oonsiderable. Reductions of wages con
tinue, and about a quarter of them are of
CO per cent., the rest ranging from 7 to 17
percent.
“In no direction are the quotations of
manufactured products higher, but while
■ome have actually declined, the general
tone is somewhat stronger.
THE IKON MARKET.
“Thus, distinct improvement is seen In
♦he demand for iron products at Phila
delphia, though for some, which it was
thought could not go lower, quotations
have been reduced. Sales of pig are
larger. though 110 50 is now the open quo
tation for Bessemmer at Pittsburg, and
Southern forge is sold for $6 75 at Birm
ingham, the lower price telegraphed last
week having been, it is stated, for a lot of
inferior quality. The Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company has made contracts for ore
which reduce the cost of its iron 22X
cents per ton. and lower contracts for ore
and freights are also reducing the cost to
consumers of lake ore. Connelisville coke
is quoted at $1 per ton, with the
number of ovens in operation
practically unchanged. The increase in
the demand for iron products is mainly
in structural forms, cast pipe, wire rods,
barbed wire, and wire nails, while in rails
and other railway iron business is re
markably small.
THE TEXTILE ntDCSTRIBS.
“The textile industries have increased
their working force mainly in knit goods,
underwear and carpets, though several
woolen mills have started and others are
reported about to start.
“Cottons are not stimulated, as was
hoped, by the reductions announced, and
the effect has been to make buyers of
other goods hold off, so that the market is
‘weaker.

lowest rate on record for that period,
while for short loans 1 per cent, rules.
Demoralization in silver was caused by
abandonment of the proposed import duty
by the government of India, ana also of
the fixed price for council bills at London,
but foreign exchange is not seriously
altered. Domestic trade is the key of
the situation, and the clearings outside of
New York are 24 l percent, smaller than
a year ago. This is partly because the
average price of commodities is 12.8
per cent, lower than a year ago, having
fallen 4.8 per cent, since Oct. 1, while
British prices, according to the London
Economist, fell 2.5 per cent, from Oct. 1
to Jan. 1.

brapstheet's on the impeovemknt.
Bradstreets to-morrow will say: “The
Improvement in industrial and commer
cial lines heretofore reported continues
to grow moderately, and shows gains
from week to week, although more con
spicuously in manufacturing than in
commercial lines. This is indicated
by the, record of sixty-two resumptions of
more important manufacturing establish
ments this week, compared with seven
teen shut-downs. The sudden and severe
changes in the weather has checked ship
ments of merchants at many western and
northwestern points, although orders for
seasonable goods have in many instances
been increased with the cold and storm.
Stocks of general merchandise at interior
points almost without exception remain
light, and although purchases from job
bers are generally for nearby wants, the
accumulation of these is aggregating a
considerable volume.
“More conspicuous increases in sales by
jobbers are of dry goods, clothing, shoes
and hats.
IRON AT CUT PRICBS.
“There is a much bett r demaud for
iron, although at cut prices, and quota
tions in some lines of iron and steel are
below the figures at which it was sup
posed possible to produce it.
“The sales of raw wool are large,
notably at Boston, although quotations
are shaded.
‘•The demand for ginghams, prints and
general "wash fabric, -- from eastern job
ers is steady only, cuts in prices in some
lines being the principal inducement to
buy. Dress woolens are quiet, though
the spring styles have opened.
“Eastern cotton mills are active, but
their product is not selling freely.
"Aside from the depressing influence of
the unprecedentedly low range of prices
for leading staples a heavy drag on gen
eral trade now is the uncertainty as to
the outcome of the tariff legislation.
MONEY PILED CP AT PHILADELPHIA.
“The accumulation of funds at Phila
delphia emphasises the dullness, but
there are gains in sales in some lines,
notably among jobbers of dry goods and
manufacturers of morocco.
“Baltimore reports that the hopeful
feeling continues, and that the sales of
milinery, crockery, glassware and drugs
are larger.
“There is a slight improvement in mer
chandise lines at Pittsburg, where the
raw iron and steel markets report im
proved demand.
“There are more orders received at
Richmond, and the feeling favors im
provement.
"The outlook is bright at Charleston,
hut trade is quiet.
“Business remains as before reported
at Nashville, but there is improvement at
Memphis in dry goods and groceries.
•‘Gains are reported in general lines at
Savannah and at Atlanta, while the re
ports of the preceding week as to Augusta
and Birmingham continue unchanged.
"There is a better demand for hard
ware at Mobile and the outlook is bright
er.
“Trade is only fair at New Orleans, but
the money market is firmer, owing to the
demand caused by delayed payment of
sugar bounties and to carry cotton. A
larger volume of trade is announced at
Galveston.”

Atlanta Run Down.
Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 25 H J. Collins,

$1,030 in cash from Liveryman T. A

Fla. Chief Arthur Connolly this morn
ing received a telegram from Marshal

stock, and was absent a week or ten days.
During this time Collins, it is claimed,
was very busy collecting Mr. Shelton's
money. He gathered together about

A NEGRO HANGED AT JESCP
Jerry Muraiord Expiates the hillim*
of James Roberts.
The Crime Committed st Nshunts In
1890—A Refusal to go to a Well for
a Bucket of Water the Only Provo
cation for the Murder—The Whites
Abused in the Speech From the Gal
lows.
Jesup, Ga.. Jan -36.—Jerry Mumford. a
negro, was executed here to-day for the
murder of James Roberts in February,
1890. near Xahunts, in this county. He
was indiefed at the special term of Wayne
superior court, in December, 1883, and
was tried, convicted, and sentenced at
the same term. He was ably represented
by Col. R. C. Cannon, of Waycross. while
Solicitor General Brantley took care of
the state's interests.
During the trial it was proven that
Mumford requested Roberts to go to the
well for a bucket of water and on his re
fusal to do so he (Mumford) went away,
borrowed a pistol and shot Roberts. The
defense had no rebuttal testimony, but
his attorneys pleaded for mercy, which
the jury in their verdict refused to grant.
Mumford was about 25 years old, and
was what is known as a ginger colored
negro. He was born in Camden county.
He had a wife. Xone of his relatives
were at the execution.
READY TO MEET HIS FATE.
Mumford stated to the Morning Xkws
correspondent at the jail this morning
that he was ready to meet his fate. He
slept soundly last night and eat a hearty
breakfast this morning. When seen at
tho jail Mumford was smoking a cigar,
and appeared cool and quiet. He re
marked that had he known he would have
been furnished with no better than the
10-cent suit which had been given him,
he would have purchased one for himself.
He was taken from jail at 12 o’clock,
with a chain around his neck and hand
cuffed. One man had hold of the chain,
and one man on each side had hold of him,
while the guards were in the front and
rear. He was taken to the rear steps of
the court house, where he was allowed to
make his statement to an audience of
about 250 people, white and biack. While
he was making his statement one man
stood on his left holding his arm, another
on liis right holding the chain, and
a third stood behind him holding a Win
chester rilie in close proximity to his
body, with his thumb on the hammer of
the rifle.
A SPEECH ON THE GALLOWS.
Mumford was frequently interrupted
during the statement, which in substance
was: "That lie wanted all to take warn
ing. He had shed the blood of his fellow
man and was now about to pay the pen
alty of his crime. He had made peace
with his God and would moon be on the
right hand of Jesus in heaven ; that he
was betrayed by his own color for $2, and
arrested by an officer who received sls for
his services. At this time, he becoming
chilled, he was allowed to enter one of the
offices in the court house to warm himself.
On his return he reiterated what he had
first spoken, and added that it was the
hight of the white people's ambition to
hang or persecute a negro. He had
pleaded guilty to the charge and asked
mercy from the court here below, which
was refused; but now ho would soon be
in heaven, when the one that presides
there is both judge and jury and he was
promised mercy. The balance of his re
marks were rambling.
Ho was then taken to the scaffold and
executed. The drop fell at 1:02 p. m.
His neck was not broken. Drs. Tuten
and Little pronounced life extinct in
thirteen minutes. His body was shipped
to the Augusta Medical college at 8 o’clock
to-night.
LIBERTY FOR LUNATICS.
The Minnesota Law on Commitment
Declared Invalid.
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 26.—The supreme
court of Minnesota handed down a decis

Frank Hoskins, editor of the Henning
Advocate, and Mrs. M. J. Blatsdell, of
Fergus Falls, known as the “Minne
sota blizzard, - ’ from insane asylums.
The court holds that the' law
passed last winter regulating
the commitment of insane persons to the
asylum is invalid, because in violation of
section 14, of the United States constitu
tion, and also of that section of the state
constitution which provides that no por
son shall be deprived of life, liberty and
property without due process of law.
Four hundred and seventy patients who
have been committed to the state asylums
under the law passed last winter can, if
their friends so elect, be taken from the
asylums and recommitted.

STRIKERS GIVING IN.
The Hat Factories at Danbury to Re
sume Work.
Danbury, Conn., Jan. 26.- The back
bone of the hatters - lockout and strike is
probably broken, and there is little doubt
that all of the factories that have been
closed for nine weeks against the unions
will be running independently next week
on full time, and with almost as many of
their old employes as they care to take
back. The fifty men who returned to
work in the twelve factories that opened
yesterday were increased in number by
several hundred more this morning, and
some of the shops have nearly’ a full com
plement of help to-day.

MILLS IN M'PHERSON’S PLACE.
Senator Voorheea Explains the Tem
porary Appointment.
Washington. Jan. 96. In view of the
comment that has been created by tne re
port that Mr. Mills has been made a
member of the finance committee of the
Senate. Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the
committee, to-day said: “The committee
finds itself with a vast amount of work
on its hands, and with the tariff bill to be
considered, every member will be needed.
Mr. McPherson, unfortunately for him
self and tho committee, is ill, and com
pelled to be away from the Senate for
some time. A few days ago I received
a letter from him in which
he expressed his regret at his
inforeed absence, and asked that
in view of the labor before the committee,
someone might be selected to fill his
place on the sub-committee on the tariff.
There is no available member on the com
mittee for this work among the demo
crats besides those who are already on
the committee, and it became necessary
to go outside the committee. That ex
plains why Mr. Mills will act as a mem
ber during the absence of Mr. McPher
son. The service of a good democrat was
needed to make up the loss occasioned by
the absence of Mr. McPherson, and Mr.
Mills was selected.”
DEBATE ON THE INCOME TAX.

Washington. Jan. 26.—The committee

discussing proposed amendments under
the five minute rule. The vote on the
bill shall then be taken in the House on
Thursday, Feb. 1. The speeches of Mr.
Reed ana Speaker Crisp, it is presumed,
will be postponed under this arrange
ment from Monday until Thursday, and
at their conclusion the vote wiil be taken.

Virginius was presented last night on
the opening of the Warde-James engage
ment. The audience nearly filled the
lower part of the theater, and a better
jierformanee is seldom seen.
Mr. Warde was easily the leading actor
of the play, and in the wide latitude of
sentiment and passion coincident with
the character of Virginius he acquitted
himself with all the fervor and intense
dramatic vigor of which he is so distinctly
the posessor, and which roused en
thusiastic appreciation of his ability.
Mr. James, with the limited opportuni
ties of the part of Appius Claudius pre
sented a firm, animated and inspiring
characterization of the decemvir and
shaded the part with the grace, the
strength and the manliness of his pres
ence and with the conceded cleverness of
his intellect.
Mr. Herman, as Icilius, was strong,
natural and impressive, and Miss Bow
man, though’a trifle light for the role,
made a pleasing and acceptable Virginia.
At the matinee to-day “Julius Caesar’’
will be presented, with Mr. James as Bru
tus and Mr. Warde as Marc Antony.
To-night “Othello - ’ will be presented,
with Mr. James as Othello and Mr.
