A Tr.mh iont Figure in the World of Trade • ttnd Finance. Theodom Havemeyer, vice jn-csi dent of the American Sugar .Refining Company, divl lVlonihiy morning at "his home in Ne\v York. Iu # tke death ol Theodere Havemeyer one of the most prominent figures in the world of .rade and finance passes from view. He .was the first presi dent of the great trust' which controls the world’s sugar market, though he was succeeded a few years ago by n younger brother, Henry .(). Havemeyer, the vice president of the company. Of the two, Theodore has been, perhaps, the better known so cially, while the younger brother j s a tower of prominence in business. It was the latter who looked after the larger interests of the firm anil after wards of the consolidated companies. It was he who conceived and brought about the consolidation, and lie has been the ruling and governing spirit in the sugar trust. REDUCES PRICES OF COAL. Fxport Product Can Be Put in Mobile. Alabama, at small Cost. The result of opening up tho War rior river, in Alabama, it is said, has been to reduce the cost of coal deliv ered at Mobile by about $1.60 per ton. The conditions under which coal is being mined along tho Warrior are very crude, and whet, the development has assumed moie extensive propor- tions and more ttferfect and elaborate methods are employed, export coal will undoubtedly be mined at very much less than t ie present cost.

The first reference in congress to J the Tnrko-Grecian war came soon af j ter the senate opened Thursday, when I Mr. • Allen, of Nebraska, introduced i the following resolution: Resolved, That the established policy of the United States of avoiding entangling alliance with the European powers is in no respect violated by our sympathizing with the Christian people of Greece in their present heroic struggle against the advance ment of the Ottoman empire; and that, in the judgment of the senate, it would be a recognition of the wishes of all, for tho executive to express to the government of Greece the sympathy of the American peo ple.” Mr. Allen supported the resolution by citing precedents in which the United States had expressed sympat by for those struggling against oppres sion. He also read from manuscript a detailed statement of the affairs of Crete from early times. At the request of Chairman Davis, of the foreign relations committee, the Allen resolution was referred to the foreign relations committee, Mr. Davis promising speedy action. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, made a sensational speech against the disor ganized condition of the senate and house committees, and declared that tho speaker of the house, who was called “The Great White Czar,” should be known hereafter .is the “Great White Filibuster.” CONGRESSMAN HOGjIaN DEAD. For Many Years a Member of the House of Kepresenta fives. Representative Holman, of Indiana, who has been ill at his home in Wash ington with spinal meningetis, died Thursday afternoon. Hon. W. S. Holman was born in Dearborn county, Indiana, September 6, 1822. He was judge of the court of common pleas from 1852 till 1856, was then elected to congress as a democrat and has been nominated successively since, suffering only three defeats, in 1874, 1876 and 1878, and serving with those exceptions from 1859 to the present time. He has been an uncompromising en emy of trickery and won the name of the. “Great Objector” from his fear lessness in opposing doubtful meas ures aud the schemes of lobbyists. Perhaps no man in either branch of the national congress was better versed ig statutes. GEORGIA EPWORTH LEAGUERS Meet In Their Fifth Annual Convention In Atlanta. The fifth annual conference of Geor giaEpworth Leagues was called to order in the Sam Jones tabernacle at Atlanta Thursday night. Two thousand del egates were in attendance. The big hujlding was packed by a large and enthusiastic audience. GOES THROUGH SIBBE MORE WORK OE TRAIN IN AEAltAMjfl THREE MENJffI Another disastrous wreck, caused evidently by the band of wreckers which has played havoc with the Louisiville and Nashville’s roads in Alabama of late, was visited on that company’s No. 3 southbound passen ger for New Orleans about 1 o’clock Thursday morning Asa result three men are dead, two others are said to be dying and a num ber of others are less seriously injured. The train left Montgomery at 9:40 p. m , loaded down with passengers. It was going rapidly when it reached Wilcox, a little station seventy-two miles south of Montgomery. Just beyond Wilcox is an ugly tres tle. When the engine reached it the wheels left the track, broke through the trestle and the engine, the mail, baggage and smoking cars were piled in a heap in the little stream Iwjow. Engineer Alvin Adams, of Mobile, and Fireman Jordan Jones, colored, were fatally injured, being scalded. Both have since died. An unknown tramp, who was stealing a ride, was also killed. How the other occupants of the cart which went down escaped as they did with only a few bruises is a mystery, as the cars are said to have een de molished. The sleepers and all of the passenger coaches, except the smoker, were derailed, but remained upon the roadbed. As soon as day broke it became ap parent that the train had been feloni ously wrecked and after the almost identical method employed in the dis astrous Caliaba wreck last January aud the McGee switch wreck of a few weeks before. The spikes holding the rails on the crossties had been drawn and the rails pushed seven or eight inches out of line and pinned down again. The heavy engine when it struck the crossties crushed through the bridge, the foremost cars following it, but the other par t of the train broke loose and saved perhaps a hundred lives. Dogs were put on the trail of the wreckers about noon and two negro suspects have been arrested. The chase is being continued, however, with all vigor. The detective force of the Louisville and Nashville road have been working assiduously for months trying to discover the mysterious wreckers, but with little effect. FIVE-STORY BUILDING COLLAPSES Two Hundred People Kmployed Therein Have a Fortunate Eficape. Half of the five-story brick building owned and occupied by the Atlanta Paper Company, at Atlanta, collapsed and fell in a mass of debris at 7:30 o’clock Thursday night. The big building was being repaired and the front wall on Pryor street had been propped up so that the lower sections of it could be strengthened. The supports were evidently not suffi cient to sustain the great weight of the top floors, and without warning the crash came. Had the building collapsed two hours earlier the death list would have been very large. About 200 persons, mostly young girls, are em ployed by the Atlanta Paper Company and the Empire Printing Company aud they left the building just before 6 o’clock for their homes, leaving only the night watchman and aif office boy in the building. Both of the latter narrowly escaped the collapse. TEXAS CONFEDERATE SHAFT. First Monument in the Hone Star State , Unveiled at Sherman. The Confederate monument erected in Sherman by the Mildred Lee camps of Texas was unveiled Wednesday with appropriate ceremonies.

The unveiling was attended by prominent ex-Confederates from every section of the state, and the day was fittingly observed. NO. 4i Bl’bG Yul Y IS BELLIGERENT.

In the case of Willhim Beckroge, against YV. J. Hailing- and L. C. Boach, in the United States court at Charleston, S. C., Friday, the plaintiff was awarded SBOO damages for the seizure of a trunk full of whisky made by the defendants as state constables. In his charge to the jury Judge Si monton said that ordinarily the seiz ure xvithout warrant of a package, as in the present case, was a ease of tres pass. Harling and Roach, however, aver that the fact that they were constables was justification of their act. They claimed the legislature as their author ity for their act, but Judge Simontou showed that the acts of the legislature were limited by the federal constitu tion and laws, and the legislature could pass no act in conflict with the United States laws. Judge Simontou charged that the seizure was a violation of the United States commerce act recognized by law by the state of South Carolina. Judge Simonton explained the Wilson bill and showed that it was only intended to assist the enforcement of the prohi bition laws, but it could be of no ef fect in this state under present cir cumstances, where the entire state is dotted with liquor shops. The result of this suit means a great deal of money to liquor dealers ail over the north who ship to Charleston purchasers for personal use. The attorney general has given no tice of his intention to make a motion for anew trial. SMALL KANSAS CYCLO E. Houses Blown Down, Cattle Killed and Several People Injured. A small tornado which passed one mile west of Newton, lias., Friday night wrecked several houses, injured three occupants, killed many cattle, uprooted orchards and groves, and smashed thousands of panes of glass. J. W. Weams had an arm broken, his wife was rendered unconscious and was severely bruised, and the little daughter of J. C. Chandler was slight ly hurt. It is not thought that any fatalities will result. The storm happily spent itself a short way outside of Newton and wrought no further damage. The storm lasted only fifteen minutes. It came from the southwest aud was pre ceded by a heavy rainfall and followed py a terrific hailstorm. UNCLE SAM HARD HIT. Canada's w Tariff Bill Is Prejudicial to Our Interests. The new Canadian tariff bill is such as will hit the United States pretty hard. In that regard it is popular at Ottawa, but doubly so on account of the preference it makes in favor of British goods.
