NeW York. March 29.—Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say: "General trade for the
t Kjrd week In succession, continues to
shPW evidence of improvement. In no
ot her direction is this sd plainly indi
cated as in the tendency of prices. A
wf ek ago encouragement had been ob
tained from a generally unexpected ad
lance in cotton and wheal. Following
their flight reaction the week had wit
nessed a firm cotton market, further im
provement in wheat, with a sympathetic
afluence on corn and oats, the effect
i is greatly emphasised this week
advances in quotations, not only for
coke, but prospectively for Iron ore and
for Bessemer pig iron, for steel billets
and actually for manufactured iron at
western markets.
Higher quotations for cut meats west
arc the outcome of restricted supplies of
cattle and this is behind an increased de
mand for shoes for fall delivery, as quo
tations for leather continue upward on
the comparatively scarcity of hides.
The firmness In cotton at the late ad
vance has shown itself in higher quo
tations, not only for print cloths, but
other varieties of cotton goods, some of
them VSV*c higher than a fortnight ago.
• A moderate movement is announced
from Memphis. Nashville, Birmingham,
Vlanta and Augusta, dry goods, groceries,
• hardware and plantation supplies feel
ins the change most. At Chattanooga and
Savannah trade is quiet, but at Jackson
ville there has been a decrease in vol
ume. The movement in dry goods at
Yew Orleans has felt some increased de
mand, but shipping Interests continue
disturbed. The season is backward at
Galveston, with trade only fair.”
R G. l>un & Co.'s weekly review of
trade to-morrow will say: “Signs of im
provement are all the more satisfactory
hr ause neither accompanied nor appar
ently produced by a speculative craze.
Dealings in stocks, cotton and wheat, are
not diverting all the interest and capital
from productive Industry and legitimate
trade, though these products are all a
vha le stronger. But railroad earnings,
bank clearings and the industrial indi
cations are more encouraging this week.
]■ s a remarkable feature that the lifting
tin- year begins at the bottom, so to speak;
raw materials are raised before there is
anv larger demand for their finished prod
ucts, a thing not often done with suc
cess. Hides rise, then leather, and then
shoes; cotton rose, and afterwards some
cotton goods; coke was advanced and
afterwards Bessemer pig. In all these
cases it is reasoned that the larger de
mand for consumption, though yet want
ing, must come when it is seen that prices
are going up.
Higher wages for coke workers have
been followed by a formal advance of 40
cents in the price of coke, and now Besse
mer pig has risen 35 cents at Pittsburg,
and 25 at I'hdadelphia.
•Raw cotton has been hoisted until a
stronger market for goods resulted, w ith
some advances In price. The ton® of the
goods market has been decidedly Im
prove], though It does not yet appear that
the retail distribution has correspondingly
Increased. But the stocks of retail deal
ers are lighlt, and when they feel that
prices are bound" to rise, the demand may
grow rapidly.
A better Indication of general Im
provement is that the exchanges through
the principal clearing houses for the week
are 21.5 per cent, larger than last year,
and only 14.1 par cent, less than In 1893,
tnich may probably mean the advent of
decidedly better conditions.
Little encouraging can be said of for
eign trade, the exports for March being
nnaller than last year, while the Im
ports for the full month will doubtless
show some Increase. The rates for money
are higher, as usual just before April 1,
and the commercial demand Is somewhat
larger.
“Several large failures this month have
twilled the aggregate of liabilities for
the three weeks of March to $11,271,121,
against, $10,061,991 last year, of whi-ch
16,411,342 were of manufacturing concerns,
against $4,469,118 last year and $4,824,779
In trading concerns, against $4,225,082 last
year.
"The failures this week have beeen 234
In the United States against 238 last year,
and forty-two in Canada, against thirty
last year. But the recent increase Indi
cates past rather than recent conditions
cl unsoundness.”

FOR HER BROTHER'S Ml UDKR.
The Coroner'* Jary Find a Verdict
Against Lottie Small.
The coroner's Jury in the case of Jess
Small returned a verdict yesterday morn
ing of murder against Lottie Small, the
sister of tfw* dead nuui.
The inquest was held at the office of
Coroner Goette. The principal witnesses
before the jury were Lydia Small, wife
of the dead man; John Redmond, his
Stepfather, and Lottie Small. Lydia Small
said that the quarrel between her hus
band and his sister began over the rob
bery of the hencoop the night before. Lot
tie began to ettrae her brother, anti he
threat en<ed to whip her with a switch he
hal In his hand. He threw Che switch
away, but the girl stabbed at him with
an open knife she had in her hand, ©tab
bing him in the left breast. Jess then
knocked his sister down and slapped her
face. .
John Redmond, the father-in-law, said
that Jess and Lottie were quarreling to
gether in front of the house. He walked
down into the field a piece. When he came
back he saw Lottie on the ground and
Jess bending over her. He did not know
whether the stabbing was done while the
girl was on the ground or before. Jess
ran to him pointing to his wound and ask
ing if he thought it would kill him.
Louie Small said she was afraid her
brother was going to whlt> her. She stabbed
at him, but did not intend to cut him.
Small made a statement to Rev. F. T.
Thompson of the Provident Baptist
church on March 25, in which he said he
was in the wrong in the difficulty with l.is
sister because he followed her after she
had gone out of the house. He said that
he struck her, threw her down and struck
her again, and then discovered that he was
cut, knowing nothing about being cut
until he got up from off the ground. He
requested that this statement be made to
the court as he said that it was his de
sire that his sister chould be turned out
of prison.
AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Connfy Treasurer Russell Suing the
City for Property Claimed by Him.
County Treasurer Waring Russell,
through his attorney, Mr. T. D. Rockwell,
filed suit In the superior court yesterday
against the mayor and aldermen of Savan
nah for $5,000 damages.
He alleges that he Is the owner of cer
tain property which the city is using as
parts of streets, but for which he has
never been compensated. The property
referred to consists of sections of Aber
corn, Lincoln and Habersham streets,
commencing at Gwinnett street and run
ning south on Abercorn thirty feet, on
Llneoln thirty-eight feet and on Haber
sham forty-six feet.
In 1871 he put a fence up on Llneoln
street at Gwinnett and was placed on the
information docket on a charge of ob
structing the streets. It was then he made
an agreement with the ‘city signed by
Mayor John Screven, to the effect that.
If he would remove- the obstructions, he
might look for compensation to the city
In ease It was determined by competent
authority that the land belonged to him.
In 1875 In a suit for ejectment brought by
Thos W. White and others It was decided
In the superior court that the land men
tioned, a strip along the south side of
Gwinnett street belonged to Mr. Ruasell.
The petition states that the mayor and
aldermen have been using this as street
property, and he has been deprived of the
use of It, which has damaged him to the
extent of $5,000 and for this, after twenty
years, he comes in and asks for judgment.
DAVIS WASN'T TRIED.
The Solicitor Unavoidably Absent
and the Case Went Over.
Lemuel Davis was not tried In the supe
rior court yesterday on thq charge of
murdering William M. Rawls, according
to programme, on account of the inability
of Solicitor General Fraser to be present
in court.
When the court met at 10 o'clock there
was a large crowd of spectators on hand
to hear the testimony. A note was re
ceived stating that Mr. Fraser would be
unable to attend, and Judge Falligant
asked D. R. Groover, Esq., who is en
gaged to assist the state, if he desired to
go on without the solicitor general. Mr.
Groover said he did not.
Hon. F. G. dußignon, who represents
the defendant, said he had made all ar
rangements to go on with the trial yes
terday, and if It was not proceeded with
then, his engagements were such that
he would not able to try it at any other
time in the term. Under the circum
stances Judge Falligant said there was
nothing to do but continue the case for
the term, and it took that course.
The criminal business of the superior
court, with the exception of some grand
jury investigations, has about been con
cluded, and Judge Falligant will start on
the docket of civil cases on Monday.
NOBODY HERB KNOWS SHEAR.
The Hnubund of the Young Snleide
la New York.
Cora Shear, the young wife of Lent
Shear, an engineer who said he had been
living in Savannah, committed suicide by
in New York Wednesday night by drink
ing carbolic acid.
Shear and his wife lived happily to
gether to all appearances. They were mar
ried about four months ago, he said.
Wednesday she told her husband she had
drank a couple of glasses of beer. He re
proved her, and she got a glass and
poured a dose of carbolic acid into It and
drank it. She was taken to a hospital and
died In a few hours.
Nobody hear seems to know Shear. In
quiry among the engineers failed to find
any one who had ever heard of him. His
name does not appear in the city directory
and the impression is that he either gave
Savannah as a fictitious place of resi
dence or that he came from some other
Savannah than that in Georgia.
HAIL AND CROSSTIE.
The Southern Iron Car line of Georgia
and the Railway Equipment Company of
New Jersey has filed a bill in the chancery
court at Knoxville, Tenn., to collect $226,-
000 from the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railway. The complainants allege
that In IS9O and 1891 they furnished the
defendant company 1,100 hopper-bottom
gondolas of 60,000 pounds carrying capacity
each, unejer a lease of contract for ten
years, and that the railway company
since the reorganisation of the Southern
Railway Company has refused to comply
with the contract and refuses to use the
gondolas. The complainants allege that
they were at an expense of $1,000,000 in
building the cars, and that their actual
loss, by noncomplianee with the contract,
is $226,000, for which they sue.

Various Matter* of Intrreat From
Thriving Thomnsville.
Thomasville, Ga., March 29.—Eli Whit
ney, the son of the inventor of the cotton
gin, who has spent the winter In Thom
asville, left for home to-day. Mr. Whit
ney was born In 1825 and is a well-pre

Victor F. Lawson, propletor of the

The recent pardon of Eugene Howard,
of this county, by Gov. Atkinson does
not meet the approval of our best peo
ple. The only possible reason for it is
that Howard is a white man. and that
reason Is worse than none. He stole a
lot of corn and fodder and plead guilty
to the charge. The sentence was only
SSO or four months. The excuse Is given
that Howard’s family needed his work.
This same excuse would well nigh empty
the penitentiaries if worked out to its
legitimate results. It is hard enough to
convict criminals; troublesome and ex
pensive, and when they are convicted to
have them turned loose Is discouraging.
As it is, many good citizens suffer more
or less petty pilfering* and stealings,
rather than go to the trouble and annoy
ance of having the guilty people pun
ished. Such acts as this pardon of How
ard by the governor will most certainly
not encourage citizens to try to have the
laws enforced.
BUSY FARMERS.
A Fine Conrthonse to Be Unlit nt
Wriichtsvllle.
Wrlghtsville, Ga., March 29.—Farmers
are busy putting in their corn crop. There
is about fifty per cent, off in the use of
commercial fertilizer up to date at this
point. A greater diversity of crops be
ing prepared for with the view of to try
to live more at home.
By recent action of our grand Jury we
ar to have erected an imposing court
house, to cost $15,000 or more.
The new tower and tank for the artesian
well is now in readiness for water, and
the citizens will be very glad of this,
for they have been quite a while without
water from the well.
Prospects for a good fruit crop is very
promising.

WESTERN FARM SOIL VERY DRY.
■
Cloud* of Dust Envelop Farmers
Planting Their Crops.
St. Paul, Minn., March 29.—Reports
which have been coming to the grain and
elevator men the past four or five days
from the country have been very dis
quieting. Last fall, when the ground froze,
it was in the dryest state ever known In
the northwest. The snow fall during the
winter was very light. Up to date very lit
tle rain has fallen, yet farmers have been
forced by the open spring to go to work
and get In their crops. Wherever they are
at work they are enveloped In a cloud of
dust. Such a situation has never before
been known in the northwest. The lack
of moisture in the soil at this time of the
year Is without parallel in this region.

Tight Lartng and Lxk of Ont-Do>

(From the Detroit Sun.)
The large, pretentious brick resilience at
86 Miami avenue, in this city, is the home
of the heroine of this interesting story.
She is Miss Margaret Stenhaugh, and her
experiences during the past four years aro
published here for the hrst time.
Miss Stenhaugh iR a pretty girl of about
20 years and is to-day the true picture of
the ideal, healthy, robust and jovial Ameri
can girl. She was not always so, as is
proven by the accompanying statement
made by her.
“ Four years ago,” she said, I was such a
scrawny, puny little midget, pale and ema
ciated by an ailment peculiar to us women,
that mv father and mother gave me up to
die. ■ The local practitioner, whose name
was Dr. Glassford. (I was at that time living
at Scotland, Ont.,) said it wns only a matter
of days when 1 would be laid away in the
churchyard. “ I could not walk. 1 became
ao weak, and regularly every night my
father used to carry me up stairs to my
room. I can distinctlv remember my tell
ing him that he wouldn’t have to carry me
about much longer, and how he said, while
the tears glistened in his eyes, that he
would be willing to do it always, if he
could only have me with him.
“ At this time, I read, or was told by some
body, of the wonderful cures that were being
wrought by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People, and my father went to Brant
ford, where he purchased a couple of boxes
from W. Wallace. I commenced taking
them, and I thought for a time that they did
me no good, but very shortly I noticed a great
change. They began to act on my trouble,
and in the short space of six weeks I was
able to walk. I continued taking the pills,
and in six months I was in the condition
you see me now. I fully believe that they
alone saved me from the grave, and you wifi
always find myself and the balance of onr
family ready to talk about the good Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills did for me.”

15th day of December, 189.1.

An analysis of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People shows that they contain,
in a condensed form, all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore sha'tered nerves. They are
an unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia," partial paralysis, St. Vitus’

palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms of weakness eith"r in
male or female, and all diseases resulting
from vitiated humors in the blood. Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all dealers,

ENGLAND'S WARNING TO FRANCE.
The Speech In Parliament Ha* aa I n
favorable Effect on 'Change.
London, March 29.—Sir Edward Grey's
remarks in the House of Commons last
night produced a disquieting effect on the
stock Achange this morning. French
rentes fell t* and consols and Egyptian
unified ',4. .
Commenting on the present aspect of
the Anglo-French situation, the Globe
says: “England can safely call upon the
world to Judge whether she should face
France’s, deliberate provocations in Af
rica and Siam, or whether it would be
come the dignity of Great Britain to
turn the other cheek to the smlter any
longer.”
The Pall Mall Gazette rays: “France Is
warned since last evening that she has
not a shred of pretence that she doesn't
know that her advance into the Nile
valley would be regarded by England as
an act of open and avowed hostility.”
The Star says: “We deeply mistrust
the statement of Sir Edward Grey in
the House of Commons last evening,
which latent to France; first, becaus ■
it Is the fruit of anew spirit that has
unhappily crept Into liberal foreign pol
icy, and second, because we are aghast
at the magnitude of the claims to which
wc are thereby committed.”
The Daily News correspondent In Paris
says: "M. Lamarsell has given notice of
a question to M. Hanatotix, minister of
foreign affairs, in the Senate as to Sir
Edward Grey’s statement. M. Hanatoux
conferred with Premier Ribot and agreed
to reply on April 4. The official world
does not see any quarrelsome intention
in Sir Edward Grey’s declaration, but the
latter has fal'en with startling effect upo.i
those wanting to climb into great finan
cial and political situations through
Africa”
The Daily News learns from its Cairo
correspondent: "Sir Edward Grey's state
ment has caused a profound sensation
here. It is the absorbing topic. The An
glophobe section Is especially struck by
the clear, firm attitude of the govern
ment. The declaration cannot fall to
have a good effect here."
The News Is Informed th.+t a cabinet
meeting will be held to-morrow to con
sider foreign affairs.
Paris, March 29. The De
bats says In commenting upon
Sir Edward Grey's statement before the
House of Commons last evening: “These
recriminations are unfounded. We do
not admit that France's silence as to
England's claims to the Upper Nile region
meant consent. France was no party to
England's treaty with Germany and Italy,
in which these claims were admitted. We
must object to Sir. Edward Grey's con
founding British and Egyplian rights. The
khedive, in the eyes of Franco. Is the sole
and legitimate chief under the sultan's
sovereignty. We do not know that we
have any expedition on its way to the
Upper Nile regten. hut we do know that
France under all circumstances will rec
ognize the porte's and Egypt's rights to
the Upper Nile, and nobody's else.”
HORRORS IN A REFORMATORY.
Inlinmnn Treatment mid Gras* Mis
management Proven.
Denver, Col., March 29.—The Colorado
assembly met in Joint session last night
to listen to the report of the Investigation
made of the prison reformatory at Buena
Vista. The utmost secrecy was made of
this investigation and no acts had been
made public In advance. Powerful friends
of the interested parties have strenuously
denied the truth of the rumors of mis
management and Inhuman treatment. The
report Is damaging In the extreme. In
his letter transmitted the governor says
the findings arc f*tf kre fully sus
tained by the evidence. He declares that
no excuse can be offered for the inhuman
and unjust punishment, sanitary condi
tions. hapliazzard parceling of criminals
and dishonest purchase and disposal of
provisions. He ends by saying that the
institution has been a reformatory only
in name.
The committee report finds Deputy
Warden Hoyt guilty of Inhuman and cruel
treatment and In appropriating for his
private use supplies and provisions de
signed for the use of the criminals. The
board Is strongly condemned for misman
agement.

brought matters to an interesting stage,
and the republican incumbents who have

Thurber, It was said the appointments

Itor nt Athen*.
Athens, Ga.. March 29.—Mr. D. P. Haeel
ton. one of Athens best citizens, tells a cu
rious stoCy about his house. He does
not believe hi ghosts, but says that every
night at a certain hour a window In his
•room raps like someone knocking upon
it. Ho has tried every conceivable way
to solve the mystery, but It cannot be
solved. At one time he thought 1; was
the water In the main throbbing at the

AN INDIAN PREACHER,
Who In CniiMlng Considerable
Trouble at Amerleti*.
Americus, Ga., Inarch 29.—War-Hochee,
an Indian preacher, has been working
among the negroes of the city for the past
two weeks. He preaches, practices med
icine and dentistry. He has succeeded In
convincing a large number of ignorant
negroes that he is not only a great evan
gelist, but also the great medicine man
who has power to heal all their Ills.
He tells them that he is a ward of the na
tion and that his annual pay of $3,000 per
annum 'is as sure as that the people pay
taxes.”
Tax Collector Dunn yesterday Issued fi
fas against him for his state taxes both
as a physician and dentist, which he
promptly paid. This morning he was be
fore the mayor (feathers, paint and all)
charged with violating the city ordinance
against itinerant venders. Hu was fined
$lO, which he paid. He came out cursing
and threatening the authorities, claiming
to be exempt from all taxes or interfer
ence, There Is talk of his arrest for vio
lating the stat£ laws regulating tho prac
tice of medicine and donistry. When the
policeman went to the negro house where
he boards yesterday to subpoena him to
appear before the mayor he found more
than thirty negro women waiting their
turn to enter his room one by one to be
examined and treated.
Last Sunday afternoon he read from the
pulpit a note he pretended to have re
ceived from the white pastors of the city
begging him to preach in their churches,
which offer he refused.
