GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. The Industrial Developement in the Past'Week. Regarding the industrial situation a general feeling of confidence prevails throughout the Southern States. The advance in the pvice of cotton is maintained, the fact that planters are holding hack the large crop of rice for higher prices shows that they are in no need of money, ancl the pe /coful ending of the strike in New Orleans removes the only trouble existing iu busine-s circ/es.

A daring; attempt was made to rob a Webern and Atlantic Lain at Adairsville, Ga., Friday ni.ht. Instead of securing ny booty the robbers were driven off by the trainmen ;.nd oue of the robbers is supposed to have been badly injured. The train which the robbers attempted to rob left Atlanta at 7.45 o’clock Friday night. It consisted combi- of an engine, mail car, three nation baggage and express car, pas-etiger coaches and one sleeper, When the train reached Adairsville it -topped . As it pulled away from the stet ua ihree men got on the rear p’at foim of the baggage and express car As they entered ihey were met by a vol lv from the trainmen. The robbers re turned the fire and a regular fusilade en- sued. In the melee the train was stop- pod and the would-be robbers hastily de¬ em ped. As they entered the woodsone of them was seen to fail and. the others picked him up and carried him off. Alter every- thing had quieted down J. A.

The anarchists continue to send threaten- ing letters t > Barou Reiile, president of the Carmaugh Company. Another ex- plosion of anarchistic origin was reported late Fridav night from Columbes, a sub- of Pari. NEW ORLEAN’S BIG Is Brooiit to a Close Tironji lie In¬ terference ot (Jov, Foster, The Most Extensive Labor Movement of the Kind Ever Kuowu. New Orleans’ big strike collapsed at 8 o’clock Friday morning. It was the most ambitious labor movement of the kind ever attempted in this country and very nearly succeeded, and perhaj s would have done so but for the interference of Governor Foster. The strike was alto¬ gether on the question of unionism. It was an attempt to prevent the employ¬ ment in any trade or industry of any but uuion men. The amalgamated council organized ah the trades of New Orleans —sixty-one in number—into unions this spring and theu set about raising wages, reducing the hours of labor and compelling em¬ ployers to take only union men. The street hands struck and won a signal vic¬ tory. Strike after strike followed during the summer a? d fall, the men being \ Ic- tnrious m all of them. On October 22d the teamsters, loaders and warehousemen struck to compel the merchants to employ union men. The amalgamated council took up their tight, and on N vember 3d ordered a general strike of ail trades out of sympathy, and, in order to bring the merchants to tenn«, it was intended to paralyze New Or¬ leans, to effect every industry anei to bring the matter home to every man, woman and child in the city, so that they would unite in insisting upon the mer¬ chants conceding the demands of their employes. DRIFTING TOWARD ANARCHY As a strike it was a success. There could have been no more complete one. Only four nu n < ut of 15,000 ordered out refused to obey the call of the council. For a week New Orleans was without bffhts, cars or carriages. The factories closed up; the city’s business was killed ; its steamboats tied up; its railroads, newspapers and theaters w'ere all crip¬ pled. Neither the mayor or the police seemed inclined or able to do anything. The city was drifting rapid y into anarchy. But when Governor Foster reached New Orleans he a?sumid charge of the city and restored order. THE MILITARY COMES IN. The governor’s proclamation Thursday had a good effect. Next he followed this up by assembling the militia at the arsenal. After swearing in new men and showing that he had a sufficient force— 5,000 men—to make his orders obeyed, he announced his intention of getting the gas and electric light plants fo work Friday and the street cars runuing. The leaders of the strike recognized that they could not hope to win without an encoun¬ ter with the militia and bloodshed. Then the men, too, became restless and uneasy. auspices Negotiations were reoponed under the of the governor, and after par¬ leying for terms the amalgamated coun¬ cil surrendered and withdrew its demand that none but union men should be em¬ ployed, and asked only that union meu should not be discriminated against. It was recognized as a complete surrender and the strikers all returned to work Friday morning. THE IN6TIGATORS DENOUNCED. Under the terms of the agreement a they large number of the strikers found, when returned to work that their places had been filled by non-union men. This was particularly the case with the car drivers, the carpenters, the tramsters and the loaders. A crowd of 1,000 or more strikers, who had been thrown out of jobs, assembled iu Exchange alley, the headquarters of the commute of five, and roundly de¬ nounced the members of the committee who had led them to defeat and even threatened violence to them. Although the strike is ended, the movement against the men instrumental iu bringing it on will not be abandoned. The chances are that the amalgamated council will break up as the printers and many of the union men threaten to leave it. The defeat will be a severe blow to unionism in New Orleans. WILL BRING SUIT . The suit against the members of the committee of five and the heads of the different labor unions for violations of the interstate commerce act, will be vig¬ suffered orously prosecuted by the merchants who by it. Steps have ateo been taken to impeach Mayor Fiizpatrick and secure theremovaL of Chief of Police Gastor, both of whom it is charged sympathized with, aided and upheld the strikers and made no ef¬ fort to preserve the peace, or protect citizens. The constitution allows the impeachment of the mayor upon the pe¬ tition of twenty-five property-holders. The case is to be tried before the civil district court. Criminal proceeding will also be begun against all strikers who were impl icated in the violence. A disp sition is >hown by the mer¬ chants and other emp oyt rs to press the advantage they have gained and prevent a recurrence of a strike like this has been. The loss to the city has been im¬ mense. Probably 25,000 people have been idle fora week, Using $500,000 in wages, while the employers probably lost 50 per cent, more, as this is their busiest season of the year. The receipts of pro¬ duce have been amazing—about a million a day—of which probably half has been diverted by the str ke, and including the direct loss to New Orleans for nearly a week’.- complete suspension of business, it will be between $5,000,000 and $6,000,- . A BOILER EXPLODES HarHag Five Unfortunate Men Into Eternity. A frightful boiler explosion occurred on theReadiDg railroad, Dear Schuylki l river, at midnight Friday Dight. Five mm were killed and teveral injured. The killed were: Engineer Cowey, Fire¬ man Meyer, Conductor Kendrick and an unknown man. The engine bad just been coupled up to the train when the esplosion followed. There were men in¬ jured a hundred yards away. The • : *I school enrollment for the United . i?-t j - tr'H* i4. BUSINESS REVIEW. The Election Did Not Cause Any Bad Effects. R. G. Dunn & Co.’s weekly review of trade says the presidential election has interrupted business to some extent in all pans of the country during the pist week, but by no means as much as usual. At nearly all points the value of trade has been fairly maintained and the un¬ precedented iy activity of industries hason- been interrupted by the election holi¬ day. A severe storm throughout most of the northern states has embarrassed the movement of products and has check¬ ed some trades, but was very welcome to dealers in winter goods, who had found the unusually mild weather some¬ what depressing to iheir business. The distribution of other products has been fully up to the average and the reports regarding collections are from almost all points qnite satisfactory for the season. The money mirkets have not t een dis¬ turbed, though their working has been somewhat closer at several important points, and foreign necessities and the scarcity of commercial bills have caused some decline in foreign exchange. It is feared that Russian needs and the failure to place the desired loin in Paris may cause further withdrawals of Russian bal¬ ances in Philadelphia Eastern Europe. trades At most have been dull, but iron is firmer, and the colder weather brings mure demand for boots and shoes. The manufacturers of tobacco are pressed trade to their full capacity, the wall-paper is large, and the trade in chemicals steady. At Baltimore business is good, with increasing export!, and southern collec¬ tions better than was expected. At I ittsburg the production of iron in¬ creased, tut also the demand. The gen¬ eral tone is slightly better wrought than before, with larger orders for pig. Glass, especially plate, is in large demand. The prospects are more encouragiug at Louisville and business is fairly active, but at Nashville trade is fair and at Little Rock depressed by small receipts of cotton. At Memphis the election interfered to some ex¬ tent and at New Orleans business was, until a few days ago, at a standstill on account of the great strike. The output of pig-iron, November 1, was 171,080 tons weekly, an increase of 18,055 tons during the month half of October. Produc¬ tion in the last of 1893 seems to be not far from 4,188,000 tons, and stocks in October have been reduced 77,- 000 tons, which indicates a consumption larger than a year ago. The deliveries of rails for the year are small, not over 1,250,000 tons. Bars are more active, owing to car building, but plates are quiet and new orders for structual work are scarce. RAILR0AD MAGNATES Endeavoring to Remedy the Demoral¬ ized Condition of Rates. There was an earnest and protracted Monday, conference in New York City, of owners and presidents of southern railroad and steamship lines. A gener¬ al desire to. remedy the present demoral¬ ized condition of rates tnroughout the South led to the calling of the meeting by Mr. W. P. Clyde. Every railroad and steamship line which was invited (o send representatives reported. H. B. Plant presided. Every important Toad running into the south, including the Louisville and Nashville, Illinois Central, Central of Georgia, by H. B. Holmes, the various Richmond Terminal lines and the southern California railway were represented usually by its president and two or three other officers. The objects of the meeting were fully explained by Mr. Clyde and others, and a long discussion disclosed the fact that there was practical unanimity as to the necessity of taking immediate action to stop the existing rate cutting and pre¬ vent threatened complications among southern railroads. There was a gener¬ ally expiesscd disposition that the rail¬ road people should themselves regulate the rates of transportation instead of per¬ mitting a few shippers to do it. A com¬ mittee was appointed to rtvise and re¬ port a plan of action. One of the im¬ portant suggestions made was that an ex¬ ecutive board o f the Southern Railway and Steamship Association be appointed to consist of the presidents of the re¬ spective lines, instead of traffic mana¬ gers as at present. STREET CAR STRIKERS Are Causing, Considerable Trouble in Columbus, Ohio. The street cir strike, which was in¬ augurated in Columbus, O , several days ago, took a threatening aspect with the attempt of the company to start their cars Thursday morning. About seven*y-tive policemen, under Chief Murphy, were taken to the Long street baras before seven o’clock, and prepvra ions made to run out the cars. 1 wo non-union motor- men and two conductors were on hand and took their positions after Chief Mur¬ phy had driven|the atrikers from the com¬ pany’s premises across tho street in>o 'he commons. The cars were fi.led with policemen and succeeded iu getting a good start. They were stopped and turned back before reaching SouMi Barns, had where a large number of stiikors with congregated. The sympathizers the strikers are notifying the shop hands and all union men to turn cut an i prevent the cars from running. DEPOSITING SECURITIES; Holders of Bonds of the R. & D. Mak¬ ing Themselves Safe. A Baltimore dispatch sa\s: The de- positors of the underlying securities of the Richmond and Danville railroad wit a the Mercantile Trust and Doposit Com¬ pany, of Baltimore, assumed e nsiderab e activity Saturday. The committee lia* secured about three millions of securi¬ ties of various classes.
