The firm has of late recerted many new orders and the employees working * an. full time. Most of the cotton mills at Fall River, Mass., which have been stopped temporarily, started on full time Mon- day. The improved condition of the cloth market and the reported ad- vancement of the cotton crop served to restore a measure of confidence among manufacturers. The eiu-tiiilinent lias amounted to Git a l‘wy quarter of a million pieces. Th woolen mills opened its lifter a four months’curtailment, i planned to start only the dye house at present, other departments being opened as the work progresses.

Acting comptroller of the currency, Collin, says there is much encourage¬ ment to be found in the bank state¬ ments now coming in from the last call. Me expects to grte a recapitulation of them in a feAV days, but from those already in, he finds that the deposits throughout the country have greatly increased, indicating thereby that eon- fideuce has been sufficiently restored to induce people to take their money from their hiding places and put it in the keeping of the banks. Loans haA’e not increased so much as he would like to see it. But they have increased, Avhich shows that bus¬ iness plans are being put into opera- tion. The rate of interest is low, proving that the banks have confi¬ dence in tho reliability of the indica¬ tions that good times are to return and that they are Avilling to assist reliable enterprises for small compensation.

A Pittsburg special says: Monday was fraught with exciting instances in matters pertaining to the miners’ strike. Mutiny in the triW ca m p, a m ,„ der in the deputies’ ranks, filing of criminal and civil suits against the DeArmitts and the hearing in the in- junction case against President Dolan and others kept both sides to the struggle busy and on the qui vive all day long. The hearing in the injunction case before Judges Stowe and Collier was perhaps one of the most important and interesting ever held in a Pennsyl¬ vania court. was a hear in S which both ^ a pi- . , , have a decisive effect miner!* on the conduct °f the great coal strike, * hich has been on since July 5th. From the testimony adduced aud from the ex- pressions of the court it can safely be Pab l that there will be some surprise. That the injunction will be materially modified there can be no doubt. This, on .te face, would indicate a victory ior tne striKers* Judge Collier said in court that the strike would go down in history as one of the wonders of the century and remarkable on account of utter lack of disorder, for which the strikers are commended. He said: “There can be no question as to what our duty is un- der all the testimony, but I am some- " hat in doubt as to Avhether or not the order should be modified. We cannot determine this without a con- kultation.” Judge Siowe said: “This injunction "ill not justify the issuing of an at- tachmerit against any marchers who Hre not in company Avith the men named in the injunction.” He let it be understood that the in- junction _ is not so sweeping as has been thought; that only the five men named in the writ, Patrick Dolan, William “Warner, Cameron Miller, Uriah Bellingham and Edward Me fay, trespassing are restrained on the company from marching s proper- or *Y- The others mentioned can be only those found in the company of the five named in the injunction. As near as cau be learned, the strikers under the injunction can march, but not at Mated time*, long as they are not iu company with any of defendants. Threatened suits against the New York and Cleveland company thei/ for re- miner? Lining the wages of striking have been commenced. It is anticipated that about 150 suits will result. Each will be for salaries rang- iugfronr*i5 i„S 2 0, which represents ngainst a.^^.^1^ W. P.

SATISFACTION ON FIELD. CRIMSON GORE ACTUALLY SHED Combat Was Fast and Furious From the Start—Prince Henri Was Finally Placed Hors du Combat. A dispatch from Paris says: The count of Turin and Prince Henri of Orleans fonght a duel Avith swords at 5 o’clock Sunday morning in the Bois de Marechaux at Vaucressen. Leontieff acted as umpire. The fighting Avas most determined and lasted twenty-six minutes. There were five engagements, of which two were at close quarters. Prince Henri received two serious wounds in the right shoulder and the right side of the abdomen. The count of Turin was wounded in the right hand. Prince Henri was taken to the residence of the Due de Chartres and received medical attendance. The seconds of Prince Henri of Orleans were M. de Leontieff, gov¬ ernor general of the equatorial prov'- inces of Abyssinia, and M. Raoul Mourichon The count of Turin’s were General Count Avagradorde Quinto and the Marquis Carlo di Ginori. The condition of Prince Henri is reported as satisfactory as could be expected. The doctors, after consul- tation, haA'e expressed the opinion that no important organ Avas touched, but absolute rest was necessary for re- covery. Owing to rumors at Naples and -else¬ where the public had not expected the duel to come oft’. It Avas therefore quite private. The official account, furnished by the seconds, recites the circumstances leading up to the en¬ counter. It says: “The count of Turin, considering the letters of Prince Henri of Orleans to Figaro offensive to the Italian army, wrote to him on July 6th, demanding a retraction. This letter could not be answered until August 11th, the day of the arrival of Prince Henri in France. The prince replied to the count’s demand by telegram, maintain¬ ing the right of a traveler to record his experiences.” The official account then describes the arrangements for the duel and gives the names of the respective seconds, and says at the first interview they agreed that the encounter Avas inevitable. By common accord the conditions Avere settled as follows: The Aveapons to be duelling swords; each combatant to use that of his oavu country, but the blades to be of equal length, either combatant to be at lib¬ erty to maintain the ground he gained and each to be allowed the space of fifteen metres within Avliich to advance or retire; each assault to continue four minutes. The combat to be re¬ sumed in the positions occupied and only to terminate on the decision of the four seconds or the adA r ance of the doctor, when one of the adversaries was manifestly in a state of inferiority; the conduct of the meeting to be en¬ trusted alternately to the tAvo parties, lots to be drawn at the commencement. This latter feature of the arrange¬ ment was due to the formal objection of the seconds of Prince Henri of Orleans to the direction of the en¬ counter by a fifth party. At a later meeting the seconds decided upon the rendezvous. The details of the duel show that the encounter was very sharp and de¬ termined. ASSASSIN GOLLI TRIED. Sentence of Courtmartial Will Not Be Known Until Its Approval.

Eeft His Poor, Crippled Child To Die In the Woods. Some days ago a crippled child ab out five years old was left in the woods in the suburbs of Atlanta, Ga., to die. His discovery was due to ac¬ cident and when found the body of the child was frightfully lacerated by insects, presenting a horrible and revolting sight. Tuesday “Bud” Fuller, the father of the child, was arrested at liis home in W'oodburv, Merriwether connty, and placed in the Atlanta jail charged with the crime. Fuller said he had carried the child to Atlanta for the purpose of having it treated. He had been told that it could be cured. Said he: “I went to the Grady hospital to try to place it there, but it was too high for me. They said the lowest price was $10 per week. I then AA-ent to see j) r> Goldsmith and Avas going to have him treat the child. They told me tb ere that he was in New York and would not be back for ten days. “I then tried to get a nurso to leave the child with, and asked several per- sons if they knew of anyone.

Boston Transcript Attacks Her Recent Atldress as to Lynching.. The Boston Transcript in its issue of Tuesday attacks Mrs. Felton’s recent address, editorially, as follows: “Never Avas a stranger or more start- ling address at an agricultural meeting than that delivered by Mrs. W. H. Felton, of Cartersville, Ga., before the agricultural society of the state Avhen she said: “ ‘As long as your politicians take the colored man into their embrace on election day, and make him think that he is a man and brother, so long will lynching prevail, for familiarity breeds contempt.’ “We should be sorry to belieA'e that the women of the south would uoav be foremost in stimulating and develop¬ ing that tendency to the employment of lynch law,which lias already reached the point where it causes a reproach and blight upon the state, If the colored man is made to feel that he is not a man and brother, how can he be blamed for acting the part assigned him, and sometimes being a bruie? “Perhaps the wonder is that in the midst of such an almost friendless sentiment as Avas here given voice, the colored element should to so great an extent adhere to progressive human standards, and Avhen it comes to de¬ claring Avho are the Avild beasts of Georgia socially, the black man would not get ail the votes. ” MARTIAL LAW INVOKED To Prevent Miners From Tresspassing On Mining Property. A dispatch of Tuesday from Pitts¬ burg, Pa., says: Martial law has been declared in Plum, Patton and Wilkin¬ son townships by Sheriff LoAvry.

No one Avill be allowed on the company’s property, who fails to have a pass signed by Su¬ perintendent DeArmitt. WANTED MOTHER’S MONEY.

HIS CRSE DIFFICULT TO DECIDE. A Mass of Conflicting Affidavits Decides the Governor to Take More Time For Investigation. H. S. Perry, the condemned mur¬ derer of Bely Lanier, at Decatur, Ga., and who was to have been hung Inst Wednesday, has been respited by Governor Atkinson until the 8th of September in order that he may have time to consider the application for clemency. The executive order is as follows: “To tho Sheriff of DeKalb county: “Whereas, H. S. Perry was convicted in the superior court of DeKalb county, of the crime of murder, and was sentenced there¬ for to be executed on the 18th day of Au¬ gust, and, “Whereas, Further time is needed by me for the consideration of tho ease, and in or¬ der that other evidence may be submitted which it is represented to me can be had. “You are, therefore, hereby directed to postpone the execution of said sentence of death upon the said H. S. Perry until Wed¬ nesday, the 8th of September, 1897, when, in the absence of any legal order otherwise directing, you will proceed to execute the final judgment of the court in said case. Herein fail not. W. Y. Atkinson, Governor.” In the conflict of evidence Governor Atkinson finds it hard to determine what is the truth about the killing of N B Lanier by Perry The governor has spent some time in considering Mrs. Perry’s affidavit, and other evidence bearing on the statement she made. He considered the dying statement of Lanier, and dent for Judge Ragsdale, who was present when the statement was made, The two statements of the case of the killing, that by Mrs. Perry and that by Lanier, are in conflict. Mrs. Perry says Lanier outraged her; Lanier says he did not, but that at Mrs. Perry’s request he went to find her husband, and located him in a house of ill repute, and because of this he was shot. There are witnesses in corrobora¬ tion of Mrs. Perry’s statement to the extent of testifying that Perry said immediately after the killing that he did it because Lanier outraged his wife. Lanier in his dying statement says that Perry, in the act of shooting him, declared that Lanier had out¬ raged Mrs. Perry. On the other hand Lanier denied that he was guilty of any improper conduct toward her, and reproduced a letter which he said was written by Perry and delivered to him by Ike Shepherd, in which Perry said Lanier had come between himself and wife and must leave Atlanta or take the consequences. Altogether the case presents some knotty points which the governor must decide for himself, and liis de¬ cision is looked forward to with great interest. ECKELS’ NEW JOB.
