New York, May £.—Europe camo in
as a decided buyer, mid bought about
25,300 shares this morning, and tills
made traders somewhat bullish, and
they worked hard in the hope of bring
ing about a rally, but every time they
seemed to bid long st<«:k seemed to come
in, mid they did not make any money on
their trading today. I'll) the whole the
market was weak considering die de
cline of yesterday, mid the fact that the
Loudon market was decidedly in favor
of the bulls. A number of weak spots
were again apparent in today’s market.
General Electric broke 4 per cent, on a
rumor that the company was in bad
financial circumstances. 'The stringency
">f the money market in mercantile cir
cles has caused liquidation every day,
ns people seem to prefer to part with
their stocks rather than put up with
margins.
The Grangers look as though they
wore going lower. Quincy was fed out
whenever there was a demand for it.
mid in Omaha the least pressure put,
the stock down 1 por cent.
The only stock that exhibited any
strength was St. T’.iul, which the Lou
don buying steadied. Distilling and
< attic Feeding was again bought by in
siders on rumors that no bonds would
be issued. The market may have fre
quent rallies, but we think prices will go
still lower.

SUN'S REVIEW.
New York, May 2.-Tbe Sun’s cotton
review The rise in Liverpool, the fear
that some of the groat southern rivers
would overflow tile bottom lands, a
stroiurer southern in.irket and a deinanu
to <*<>ver shoi*t caused an advance <-nrl.v
in the dav, but later on sales to realize
caused a’loss of all the early advam e.
and the market closed at a small decline
for the day. Weather yeports from tie
south were rather more favorable, rhe
signal service prwlicted clouring" weatlici,
ami in some parts ol the southwest ji
higher temperature. The depression m
Wall street appears to have had some
effect. From later advices there was
rather less apprehension of disastrous
floods. Offerings of lyng cotton were
l;ir ,r 4* rose 10 points, but lost
this and declined 3 to 5 points, closing
with sales of 196,700 bales. Liverpool
advanced 6 points, closed steady for
near months, ami barely steady dis
tant months, with spot sales of 6.000
bales. In Manchester yarns were irreg
ular and cloths quiet. New Orleans ad
vanced 11(814 points, but lost this. Ro
eeipts at ports were 4.393 bales, against
12.136 this day lust week, and 11,246
Just year. Middling uplands 7 3-4 cents
here,'with sales of export of 4.505 bales,
and for spinning 175 bales. There was
an advance of 1-1,6 of a cent at, five of
the southern markets.
New Orleans opened firm but closed
easy with spot sales there of 6.500
bales. Exports were 5.410 bales to
Great Britain. Receipts at three _ in
terior towns were 232 bales against

J. s. RESCUE A- CO.
Now York. Al iy 2.—Further reports
about the probable overflow and rising
of rivers in the south caused some local
buying, and large covering by shorts.
Liverpool followed our advance, but
weakened at the close.
Our market advanced 8 points from I
the opening and ruled firm for a while, I
but reacted Sharply as soon as local |
buying orders were filled. Speculation
is still very limited, and the uncertainty
about, finaneial matters here :uid abroad
is the principal cause for the dullness. (
On any further decline wo would advise
purchases, and think o->tt.on Cheap on its
merits at present prices.

SPECULATION IN STOCKS.
• New York, May 2.—The bears were
again in control at the Stock Exchange
and succeeded in bringing about a fur
ther material decline in prices for soinq
stocks. Opening quotations were I-I(<(,'

receipt of buying orders from London,
jmt a reaction soon set in and for a
time great depression prevailed in the

worthy. Only about 2.000,000 bush, went
round. It all seemed to have been pro

dispose of it. The market turned weaker
in the last hour influenced by the in
crease in the visible supply, where a
large decrease was expected. A reaction
ensued, however, just at the close and
the market closed firm. In corn the
sentiment was firmer and higher prices
ruled, a fair portion of the advance bi

The people uro very much nroused over
the condemnation that,

to the world that they bad b(\vou<l (lie i
sliadow of a doubt di’iilt. out justice to 1
the correct man, ami furrheriuore to
let it. be known that they have do apol
ogy to make in rug'.iil to their actions!
jin the matter.
Editor X. (J. (Jonzah's. of 'Pho Co-i
lubia. StkVte, was handkd without tin'
I usual regulation gloves, and strong and
spicy donuncia tory resolut ions were |
presented to the meeting, and unani-j
nmnsly adopted ini regard lo a number
|of his edirorials dwi'lling upon the l>en
jinirk. lynching. It seemed to be the
general opinion that the editorials that
came out in the Columbia Slate, written
i«j iniH< t Gonzales on the recent lynch
ing at Denmark, did th<* people of Barn
wi'll county a. great iujustie*', and the
cardinal purposi* of tlie meeting was to
denounvo the writer.
The meetiing was heUl in the court
lioiisi*, and at. 1:.“»() in the afternoon
(’hairinan W. B. Itice, a prominent cit
izen of Springtown, culled it to order.
(’ol. Sojourner, Mr. T\ S. Weakcs, Dr.
Millor an I Hon. J. M. Skinner delivered
short and pith)' speeches denouncing the
actions of Eilntor Gonzalos, The Green
ville Ne-w’s, (’harlcston News and
(’ouricr, Charleston Sun and T'he Colum
bia State.
The remarks wu-n* attentively listened
to by those present, ami a number of
times the speakers were interrupted by
vocifi'rou.s exclamations of approbation,
which clearly demonstrated that tin 1 meet
ing was thoroughly in sympatliy with
I hem.
After the speaking the committee ap
pointed to <!i a ft. the resolutions, coin
posed of Miwsrs. .1. C. .Miller, chairman;
Simon Brown, .1. D. Eekler, William
Domain and John Simons made tlusr
report to the assembly.
Dr. Milh'r then rend the following res
olutions, which were unanimously
adopl<‘d amiidst enthusiastic cht‘ering:
Whereas, a brutal assault w. s made up
on an innocent and unsuspecting girl of
14 years of age, while mi her way to
school on the morning of the 14th of
April, 1893, near Denmark, by an un
known negro, who with drawn knife
i lu-- ;d* lii’d tin- life of the terrified girl,
lira; ed her down an embankment of the
Soulli (’ar.diiia railroad and there, after
choking her io insensibility, endeavored
to ravish her and then fled And, whereas,
wo hold that our women must be protected
al ail hazards from the brutal assault o(
any man, wheimr white or black, ami that
the punishment of death should be speedily
inflicted upon him; Ami, whereas, the cit
izens of Denmark together with those of
lids and adjoining counties, made dillf
gent search for the rapist for 11 days
(during which time tiny appichemled 25
meti mid promptly presented each lo the
girl for Identification) 23 of whom Miss
Maxtor promptly said was not the man,’
and against W'hom there was no evidence
lending lo show that any of them was
the right one; so that each man was
promptly turned loose and in most cases
their expenses paid back to the place from
whence they came, and no violence what
ever was shown them.
Os one, Henry Williams, the 18th man,
.the girl «ald, “He looks like the man”—
yet the citizens of Denmark desiring to
mote out exact justice wdh magnanimity
seldom witnessed and almost irnparalelled,
gave every cliame to establish his inno
cence by sending men Who rode nil night,
to gel up his witnesses. An alabi was
established to the satisfaction of all, and
Williams was protected, eared for and
clothed. Having caught one John Peterson,
alias John Peter Richardson, by putting
men on his track and running him Into tlie
efty of Columbia, and who attempted to
prove by negro witne-ses he was not in
the town of Denmark on the 13th or 14tli
of April but claimed to have been else
where—which claim was shown lo be false
for it was clearly established by competent
and responsible witnesses that he was in
tin* town of Denmark Oik Thursday, April
131 h, ami played cards all that night and
left on Friday morning, the day the deed
was committed, about sun up, and whom
the girl said, “Tie looks like the man” ex
cept Ids eyes and nose and subseunontly
Tie is the man,” and of whom .Joe Witcher
said I am noi the man, bm 1. know the
man, he is John Peterson, his real name
is John Peter Richardson,” and in pres
ence of tlie girl described the dress and
clothing of Jolui Peterson as arrayed on
the morning of the 14ih. After hearing
(lie description the girl said that w r as the
man.
Mr. Noise said cm flic day of investiga
tion of John Petei son that Sllvy Bronson,
the witness sent over by Governor Till
man by whom John was lo prove an alabi
and with whom he claimed to have stayed
all night (Thursday night) that John fold
Silvy that the while people ( wcre after him
because he had whipped two W'hlte chil
dren near Denmark (and on the same day
ami after the examination Silvy told sev
eral tin y have got the right man, he told
me he was the man and if the Lord w’ould
let him get out of this scrape he would
nev< r get into another), and of whom Mr.
McClendon said in the presence of tlie i
crowd w’hen Mr. Mayfield said for the r
committee the girl said “lie is not the man”
“yes, she said that, but she aiso said
that he looks like tlie man except his eyes
and nose, and if he is not the man I
would not recognize the man,” and tlie
citizens assembled believed he was the
man and they hung and shot him mi tlie
spot where lie committed the 'h*ed; and,
Whereas, the editor of th<* St;Ue, \ r . G.
Gonzales, has made himself particularly
obnoxious, by besmirching the citizens of
Denmark, and grossly insulting all others
who have the manhood to protect the vir
tue of their wives anjl daughters, and by
his editorials has aroused the passions of
the negro race saying ‘ i*>at a sense of
injustice and wrong rankling in tlie hearts
of the other race will not put guards on
the roads; Injustice engenders bitterness
•md hatred aad a desire for .revenge and
the defenseless women will lie the vic
tims,” thus inciting negro men to attack
and rape white women when unprotected
in order that they may be avenged for
the punishment ot’ John P» terson, alias
John Peter Richardson; ami by bis edi
torials has already aroused the negroes of
< ohimbia and other places to make in
cendiary speeches for the purpose of at
taching Hie negro vote to a hand full of
sore beads, dead lK?efs, alid political hacks
for the purpose of overwhelming white
supremely in South Carolina as he at
tempted to do by the Haskel movement
in 1890, and said Abie Haskel is one of the
principal stockholders and directs, and
controls the policy of the State of which
Gonzales is hireling editor, and like Judas
Lsearlot lias sold his native start? for so
much silver and now’ seeks to deliver the
same;
Now, therefore, we, the citizens of Baru
wcdl
Resolve, Ist That we tender to the peo
ple of Denwark our congratulatoin on
having caught the flend and our deepest
and sincerest sympathy is hereby tendered
the grief stricken father.
2d. We commend the action ot those
citizens who hung and shot John Peter
son, alias John Peter Richardson, tho
num who assaulted the helpless daughter
of one of our best men with intent to
commit a rape. We further say to the
people of South Carolina and tho world
ilun we will inflict tho punishment of
death surely and speedily upon any man
who makes an assault upon our wives
daughters or sisters, bo tho man white or
black. If tho editor of the State or any
one else doubts it let them cornu and try
It.”
| 3d. We further believe the government
was made for the people, and the whole
people are law unto themselves and justice
Is more essential than mere forms of Jus
tice, and that the verdict of a Jury of Jive
hundred num, either of whom Is as good.
If not better than Gonzales of the State,
is entitled to as much respect as the ver
dict of twelve men lu ttie court room and
the endorsement of the action of our fellow
citizens of Denmark, which wo hereby
proclaim, must silence if It doea not satisfy
those critics who for political purposes now’
clamor that a trial under tho forms of
law should have been accorded to the brute
in human form whose lustful hands sought
to pollute and desecrate one of our daugh
ters.
4th. We regard the man from whose
heart such an editorial emanated as one
who loves not man and fears not God and
would incite the negroes to rob every
woman in South Carolina of her virtue
for the purpose of obtaining his political
ends, and we believe that the man who
•iuild do or seek to have negroes do such
deeds puts himself beyond tl.c pale of
social recognition, makes himself an out
law to society, a flt prey to fall at the
hand of an outraged people, blacker at
heart than the rapist and as worthy of a
worse fate than John f’etereon.
sth. That we condemn the policy of the
State as a paper as now edited for tlie
purpose of producing discord, edited by ,«i
man who sought to ovenvhelm the vtate
by a black cloud of ignorance and vice
'l'he meeting was a very quiet and orderly
one and everything was transacted in a
businesslike manner.

WAS THE CADLE
JURY PACKED?
That is the Question Athens is
Asking.
Excitement Over the Verdict is
Running High.
Several Jurors Expressed their Opinion
Before Hearing the Case. .
Athens, Ga., Alay 1. —(Special.)—The
citizens of Athens are busy talking
about the jury in Cadle-Beusee mur
der ease. They are indignant, to say
tlie least of it, and numbers of promi
nent citizens have asked the Chronicle
correspondent to slate to the outside
world that outside of a small ring, the
citizens are unanimous in denouncing
tlie justice of the verdict. I learned to
night that several prominent merchants
have decided to call a mass meeting and
denounce the jury or the juryman who
swore that his mind was Impartial be
tween the state and accused but had pre
viously circulated a petition among the
citizens asking the reinstatement of one
of the accused in the position he was
discharged from. I have heard that on
entering the jury room this juror ex-)
claimed:
"I will stay here forty years or 1 will
have an acquital.”
Another juryman who was heard to
have expressed an opinion said:
“I will Stand by you, too.”
A man religiously inclined said ou en
tering the room, “I am for acquital,”
and then fell on his knees and prayed
aloud for an acquittal. This man was
heard to have expressed himself and had
heard all of the evidence.
The defense knows how to select a
jury. A merchant said io me this even
ing:
“1 believe that jury went there with
their minds made up and from what I
can learn nearly all -of them were pre
expressed. There is something wrung
somewhere.”
On Saturday night the Banner
published that eleven were for acquittal
and one for punishment. When usked
to write his opinion of the justice of
the verdict Mr. James M. Hamilton,
well known in Augusta, wrote:
"Tlie verdict was a great surprise. It
will ever remain a fact that Cadle was
killed but tlie jury says that the Beusse
boys and Briggs are as innocent of his
blood as the angel Gabriel.”
Another gentleman asked to write his
opinion wrote:
“It was an outrage and a travesty on
justice, a public meeting should be held
and the names of the jurors furnished.
Such a verdict should be presented to
tlie jury commissioners with the request
tii.it they never be allowed to serve on
a jury again. There is but one solution
of tlie matter, it is this, they had made
up their minds before the evidence was
heard in the last trial. I believe it is
duty of the Grand Jury to see that tlie
proper investigation is made and see
that no one who is guilty goes unindlct
ed.”
I interviewed every merchant On tho
business streets and I never heard such,
a widespread condemnation of a jury..
Aliiny are asking if the jury wdS packed.
Not a few are clamoring for an investi
gation and great is the excitement,

ask support of all workmen in South.
