GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
NUMBER OF COTTON BPINDLE9 AND
LOOMS IN THIRTEEN STATES.
An Increase of Over One Hundred Per
Cent. Since ISSO—A Comparison of the
Aggregate Value of Production Still
Brighter Prospects For the Future.
Baltimore, Feb. 6. —The Manufacturers’
Record has compiled, through direct re]>orts,
a list of every cotton mill in the south, giv
ing the name and location of each, and the
number of spindles and looms in each.. The
number of cotton mills, spindles and looms
in fb' south in Janu*rv\ 1888. was:

Total ..204 1,495,115 3<,OM
These figures show an increase of over 100
per cent, in the spindles and looms since
1880. The mills now under construction and
those for which the money has been secured
and upon which work will shortly be com
menced, and the additions to the plants of
old mills, will r[uir©, as shown by the re
ports, 242,000 spindles and 4,80*3 looms. Thus
by the end of 1888 the south will have in op
eration about 1,780,000 spindles and 38,800
looms. The increase of over 100 per cent,
in spindles and looms is especially noticeable
when it is remembered that the increase in
the balance of the country during the same
time was only 20 per cent.
The reports from the southern cotton mills
show that the aggregate value of the pro
duct in 1887 was $43,000,000, against $21,500,-
000 in 1880.
The Record says the best possible proof of
tiie advantages of tho south for cotton man
ufacturing is the experience of those in the
business, and this experience is best shown in
the oonstanfc enlargements of mills in opera
tion. All through the south old mills are en
larging and putting in new machinery.
GENOA TRAIN ROBBERS.
Burrows Held In $7,500 Bail, While Brock
Gos Out on $730.
St. Louts, Feb. 3.—ln the preliminary ex
amination of L. W. Brock and Jim Burrows,
at Texarkana, Brock made a confession of
the train robbery at Genoa, December W. He
said Rube and Jim Burrows caused the en
gineer to bring the train to a stop, and under
the instruction of Robe Burrows, who was
the leader of the gang, he entered the express
car aud there met three men whom he intim
idated with a six-shooter and, handing a bag
to one of them, compelled him to put the
money contends of the safe in the bag. He
put about in money and other
valuables in the bag, missing a package of
about S6OO. He then started for the mail
car, but on advice to leave the mail alone h*
turnod away.
The three men started out on foot for Tex
arkana, and on the way divided the booty,
his share being SBOO. About two miles from
Texarkana they were ordered to halt Ly a
party, who immediately began firing on
them, and they returned the fire as they fled.
In the fight they threw away their slicker*,
the clew which led to their arrest. An hour
later tho party again came together, and
they struck across the country away from
Texarkana.
The fireman, J. 8. Craven, recognized Bur
row’s as the robber whose mask slipped off as
he entered the engine cab. Both men were
bound over in $7,000 bail. Burrows waived
examination.
Jim Burrows, the Genoa (Ark.) train rob
ber, has been taken from Texarkana to Lit
tle Rock for safe keeping in the penitentiary
there, he having tailed to secure $7,500 bail.
Brock, the informer, was released on $750
bond, and tbe readiness with which two
prominent merchants of Texarkana came for
ward as security for a supposed stranger,
and the surprisingly small amount of the bail,
has given much strength to the rumor at
Texarkana that Brock is a Pinkerton detec
tive who was delegated some time ago to join
the robber band and betray them. He de
parted for Dallas immediately after being
Liberated.
KNIGHTS AND THE POPE.
Dr. McGlynn Say* Positively That Mr.
Powderly Sent an Emissary to Rome.
New York, Feb. 3.—Mr. T. V. Powderly
yesterday sent the following telegram to the
Herald:
“Dr. McGlynn’s statement that I sent an
ambassador to Rome is utterly false. I sent
no money or ambassador ibere.”
A reporter visited Dr. vie Glynn at the
rooms of the Anti-Poverty society on
Cooper’s institute last night. After reading
Mr. Powderiy’s despatch the doctor said
quietly:
“I shall not quibble with Mr. Powderly
about the word ‘ambassador,’ and, of course,
I have not said that Mr. Powderly’s emissary
had audience of the pope himself, but I have
simply to ropeat my assertion that I know
positively that such an emissary was sent to
Rome and went there for Mr. Powderly or
for the order, and that money to defray at
least a part of his expenses was asked of the
general assembly of the Knights of Labor at
Minneapolis.

STBtKEftS AT SHENANDOAH.
Rhr Strikers and One Officer Wounded la
the Melee—-The Excitement Intense.
Cincinnati Shoemakers Say They Will
Make no Concessions —Labor Notes.
Reading, Pa., Feb. B. —The first bloodshed
of the miners’ strike took place Friday night.
Tho coal regions are in terrible excitement,
and in all probability more serious trouble
will follow. The men are embittered and
driven to desperation, and the state authori
ties will probably yet be, called \ipon to quell
the difficulty.
Shenandoah City was the scene of the ter
rible riot which resulted in the shooting of
seven men. While the employes of the
Shenandoah City colliery, which is owned by
the Reading company, were on their way
home they were met by a lot of boys, wl*
hooted at them and called them scabs. The
men kept on and paid no attention to the
boys until they became so rough that the coal
and iron policemen were compelled to inter
fera A few minutes later some five hundred
strikei-s pounced upon the men, who had as
saulted the boys, and the officers opened fire
on the crowd.
John Cathers, Mike Haffern, Patrick Bren
nan, John Brown and two Hungarians and
one of the coal and iron police officers were
wounded, but none were Killed. One of the
Hungarians, however, is thought to be fa
tally injured. The police captured four of
the assailants, and they werejgtaken to the of
fice of ’Squire Shoemaker. The mob quickly
surrounded the ’squire’s office, and in their
efforts to release tlie four men broke all the
window panes of his office. The prisoners,
however, were secured and locked up. Later
on the mob made a rush for the office of
’Squire Monaghan and broke in the entire
front of the building.
The excitement is intense. Lieut. Mover,
of the coal and iron police, is severely criti
cized for opening fire on the men, he having,
it is alleged, fired five shots from his revol
ver. The Reading company is concentrat
ing a large number of special officers in
Shenandoah, and if there are any further
attempts to interfere with the company’s em
ployes there will be trouble.
Cincinnati Shoemakers.
Cincinnati, 0., Feb. B.—Still no change in
the situation as between shoe manufacturers
and their locked out employes. A member of
the executive board of the manufacturers’
association said this morning:
“The resolution unanimously adopted by
the association at a meeting Monday last ex
plains clearly and fully the position we have
taken and which we propose never to aban
don. This is the resolution; ‘lt is the sens*
of this association that we notify our em
ployes (other than foremen) that in conse
quence of a violation of tho agreement ex
isting between us and District Assembly No.
48, Knights of Labor, that we close our fac
tories at noon to-day and remain closed until
we can obtain reasonable guarantee that the
existing agreement shall be respected.’
“The present trouble was not brought
about by reason of an unfriendliness enter
tained by us toward th-i Knights of Labor
organization. Our action, however is a sig
nal that hostilities have commenced against
a clique or radical element of that order,
against an element which is always an xious
to serve on shop and other committees for a
recompense of $3 a day, and which, thero
fore is a chronically disturbing element.”
Tke locked out workers appear to be In
anything but a depondent mood also, ami
claim that they will make no concessions to
their former bosses whatever pressure may
be brought to bear to that end.

fathered near the mill and expressed tho
opinion that the mill would not be in opera
tion long with the present talent. Twenty
three policemen were on duty within the
inclosure and it is stated that each workman
is provided with two revolvers. The strikers

BOHEMIAN ANARCHISTS. ]
-
They Send a Letter ’to Nina Van Znhdt
Eulogyzing Her Husband.
Chicago, Feb. 3.—Miss Nina Van Zandt,
,the proxy widow, received the following let
ter from Prague, Bohemia, yesterday:
“At the annual meeting of tke young An
irehists of Bohemia, held January 10, 1888,
the following resolution was adopted unani
mously with great enthusiasm:
“We, the young Anarchists of Bohemia,
sxpress to you, highly respected wife of our
ideal, our heartfelt condolence and our
greatest sorrow over the death of our noble
leader. In dying so bravely for a good
cause he has tied us all v. ith new common
bonds. Among the men who offered their
lives while fighting for our highest ideals he
will always b 9 in the front rank. At the
same time we must express our abhorence to
the tribunal of a land which not long before
could pride itself on being the freest on
earth.
“In the name of the young Anarchists of
Bohemia. * A. Werich,
“A. SCHUELER.”
Miss Van Zandt was highly flattered by
this letter. It had never occurred to her
that she achieved fame not only in America,
but also in Europe, and when she was told
that Socialists and Anarchists in England,
France? Germany and Austria are her ardent
worshipers and that her pictures adorn many
t dwelling of the European proletarians
she could not suppress a smile of gratifica
tion.
CHATTANOOGA’S SCHEME.
They Want to Dam the Tennessee as a
Protection From Floods.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. B.—The sub
ject of a levee for Chattanooga is a matter
of serious contemplation just now. The
greatest objections are the constant danger
bom overflow and a sufficient supply of
water for navigation in the dry season. A
plan which meets with great favor is being
discussed vigorously at present. It con
templates the damming of the Tennessee
river at headwaters and at Muscle Shoals.
It is claimed that as the river there is nar
row, and the banks firm and high, it can b*
done with great success, and at compara
tively slight cost. Many of the most con
servative business men of the city are inter
ested in the subject, and a private company
is being talked of to put the plan in opera
tion. Both state and Federal aid will also be
asked.
Fielden and Schwab are Grateful.
Joliet, 111., Feb. 8. —Governor Oglesby
has been at the state prison for two days.
Yesterday he accorded an interview to
Fielden and Schwab, the Anarchists, who
expressed their gratitude to him for saving
them from the gallows. The governor has
taken no action in the case of Joe Maekin
because the petition for pardon has not ye*
been presented.
