Dr. Lansing, who at the Methodist conference at Salem, Mass., openly accused President Cleveland ot intemperance a day or two ago, has made as full and complete an apology as It Is possible for him to make. When called upon for evidence of his statement fhat the President frequently uses intoxicants to excess he was unable to furnish any. He had simply made his statements from reports which he had heard, and the truth of which he knew absolutely noth¬ ing. Tte Is one of the sort of men who never let an opportunity pass to declare that what. Is seen in newspapers cannot he depended upon. Men of his stamp are the ones who furnish newspapers with unreliable statements. Very naturally the President felt that he was the victim of a great outrage when the Rev. Dr. Lansing's statements were called to his attention, and he de¬ clared very emphatically that they wer* without foundation. Such men as Fred¬ erick R. Coudert, E. Ellery Anderson and Chauncey M. Depcw, men who have frequently been quests at public dinners with the President, and who have had many opportunities of seeing him when intemperate habits would show them¬ selves if he possessed any, have come forward promptly to give their testimony of the untruthfulness of Rev. Dr. Lan¬ sing’s accusation. Ministers of the gospel ought to be par¬ ticularly careful in making statements that are calculated to give a wrong im¬ pression of others, because they are sup¬ posed to be not only charitable but cer¬ tain of the truth of whatever they say.— Savannah News. GARTHWAITE—Thomas Garthwafte, of Ecclefechan, Scotland, who used to make Carlyle’s clothes, died recently. “They tell me that Tam was a great man in London,” he used to say, “but he never was thocht sae muckle o’ here. He wisnae ill tar please. He .lust wrote for a suit and I sent It. and he wore it till done, and then sent for another, and never a word about lit. He was a gude enough man that way.” GRAY, JONES COUNTY, GA., APRIL 18, 1895 GROWS BETTER AND BETTER. ; i: (H SINESS WORLD CONTINUES TO REPORT PROGRESS. NOTH13TG VERY MARKED, HI T GEN- EHALLY GOOD. lletter Wages Coneeded In n Number of Establishments. By Southern Associated Press. New York, April 12.—Bnidstieet's will say tomorrow: The feature in trade cir¬ cles is found in the prices movement, more particularly those for cattle, dress¬ ed beef and petroleum. Drouth, low prices awd “hard times” within two years have resulted in a shorter supply of cattle, prospectively 3(1 per cent, less than last year. Live cattle are $1.00 higher per 100 pounds than last year, dressed beef is 2 l-2e. per pound higher than the average last year—the highest since 1875. The comparative scarcity of high grade cattle is emphasized by the fact that present quotations, when made in previous periods of scarcity, have never failed to bring a supply when one existed. Petroleum rose 1:52 1 -2c. on Thursday tie. higher than on January 1, and 73c. higher than a year ago, which is more than three times the lovlest price in 1802, and the hi chest quotation im 1S70. Beducod pro¬ duction and increased consumption indi¬ cate the former lias been overtaken, which, with reduced stocks, provinces e'-eiteimiemt in the market . Among more important Southern cities reporting actual gains in the movement of merchandise are Atlantia, Augusta. Savannah and Galveston, hut improve¬ ment is slight. 'File outlook is regarded more cheerfully at New Orleaints, where sugar bounty difiburseimeriiR ar * expect¬ ed soon, but at Jacksonville and Bir¬ mingham general trade is quiet and in some lines slow. Nashville and Mem¬ phis retain improvement previously re¬ ported. Improved weather helps trade at Charleston. At Chattanooga, dry goods and hardware are relatively most active. Dun's Review. New York. April 12.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: ProKress toward better binds, ness continues, but it is slop l and meetis many obstacles. In speculative aspects, and In wholesale demand for goods, the week shows improvement. Mm*y markets) are undisturbed, and -a little more active. But. among the Chief ob¬ stacles is the anxiety of operative*) to secure better wages, even while many i anufaeituring works -are running with¬ out profit, and others at (lie risk of loss. In -a number of establishments! better wages have been conceded, thus in¬ creasing the purchasing power of ihe people, hut strikes have largely over¬ balanced settlements, several of them having thrown about 12.000 workers out of employment this yipok. Retail trade has improved on the whole since March as the approach of Faster brings mota- business, but distribution to individual consumers still lags behind mirehas.es of jobbers and suoli demand for products as springs from building and other in- yestmefclts looking into the future. Grop prospects will greatly effect the course of trade for some months, and the general situation has little influence to discourage. For consumers the worst feature is tho rapid .advance in meats. For the first time- in a long period, prices of commodities average a shade higher than a year ago and imi Great Britain also, owing to different causes. A slight advance occurred in March. On both sides of the ocean the lowest level ever known may naturally he fol¬ lowed by some rise. Domestic ti-ade shown by payments through clearing houses is 7.!) per cent, larger than last rear, but 20.2 per cent, smaller than in 1.803. About, this time two years ago retail business begun to drop off and mills to close, but half the difference in the volume of business is duo to the fall in prices. Tho last week for exports was especially marked, showing an in¬ crease of IS per rent., hut March re¬ turns for the priw-iiinl products show a decrease of $5,253,481. or 11.5 per cent., against an increase of 10 tier cent, in imports at New I York. The output of pig iron April 1st was 158.132 tons, weekly, practically the same as March 1st. with a decrease of 1.080 tons in unsold stocks during the month. Doubtless heavy stocks were taken up by manufacturers ini antici¬ pation of a strike in coke -works, hut the apparent consumption!! is larger than at any other time for some months nod only a sixth less than in March. 1802. Bessemer iron has advanced a little further, to $10.75 at Pittsburg, but there is no change whatever in prices of finished .products, during the week, and while the demand continues good for struct uni. and is liberal for bar the marked decrease in demand for wire, owing to ilio scant purchases of farmers for fencing, affects the outlook. Tt -e-ems probable thiait pig iron must re¬ cede unless a larger demand for finished products is soon developed, ihe shoe manufacture eontures to lead all great industries, with shipmlruhs over 20 nor cent. larger in a number of cases than a year ago. though not in value, while orders have leer more liberal at ad vanned prices. Sales of wool are particularly interest¬ in''. amounting for the Week to 0.030.- 200 pounds, and for the five ww-V« ore. vim is to 25.021.200. against 25.277070 in the snipe weeks of 1802. Tn brief, sales are close to the quantify required for a full consumption, and the long de¬ lay in placing orders and the lateness if the season make the proportion of mills' at work larger than usual. No 1m- oroYemeni in prices appears and domes, tic wool does mint respond to recent low ad¬ vances in foreign markets. The nrice for wool encourages manufactur¬ ers to eonxnete more vigorously with foreign goods of many kinds than thev had expected, and for the medium and cheaper grades of goods they have more ’ban the usual demand, because pnr- '‘h-’f-'es of consumers have for two years been comparatively small. The better goods fare not so well, foreign competi¬ tion brtng more eff'“-five, but there is a good demand for dr*ss goods. In cottons continued strength appears with further occasional advanced of a quarter and an eighth in print cloths, and the aggregate is'fair. Many agents are sold well ahead. Money is easier, and supplies are again coming from (he interior, while foreign exchange lias been at the exporting point. More commercial paper is now offering, principally in dry g< ods, though Ihe amount is not large. Failures for the first four days of April show led liabilities of $1,188,523. of which $445,810 wove of manufacturing and $742,683 of trading concerns. Fnll- i res for the week were 207 im the United Stales, against 218 hist year and 27 in Canada, against 34 last year. GOOD FRIDAY. \ Very General Observance of llie Day In New York. By Southern Associated Press. New York, April 12.—Today being Good Friday, all the churches of (lie Episcopal and Roman Catholic faiths held special services. Although not a legal holiday in this city, the custom of observing it has grown to a great extent. Tt is a legal holiday in England. Tn Ger¬ many, even the church bells and organs are hushed. Mayor Strong signed the common councils resolutions providing for the closing of all tlie city's departments-' not required by law to bo kept open. Nearly all the city government officers and employes took a holiday. Tlie finan¬ cial' and law departments were compelled by law to remain open, but little business was transacted. Tlie Stock Exchange, including the foreign exchanges were closed. Tlie banks were open of course as they had to he. but had little to do, and as so many business men have taken their customary Good Friday vacation, extending until Monday morning, a very light day is expected tomorrow also. The Court of Oyer and Terminer was adjourned yesterday until Monday and all rooms of the Court of General Ses¬ sions took similar action. Business and professional men who came down town as usual this morning looked and felt lonely and many took half of the day a nd went home about noon. The Lyceum theatre and also Daly’s will be closed this evening. The others arc all open. There is a bill now before the Legisla¬ ture to make Good Friday a legal holi¬ day. Efforts have been made from time to time to pass such a bill, but they have thus far been nnsueessful. THE WHITECAP TRIAL. Argument Finished a ml the Fuse Given tn the Jury. Atlanta, Ga., April 12.—The defence and (lie prosecution in the whiteeap trial consumed today Im argument. At 7 o’clock .tonight the ease against John Quarles and David Butler was given to the jury. The main issue is whether the Federal Court has jurisdiction over the case. The theory of the defence is that it lias not. The defence does not deny 'that Henry Worley, a revenue in¬ former, was hanged, and Hunt a band of kuklux bunged him.; but. they rest their ease as far as this matter is concerned on informing the propisition that it was not for that IVoHey was hanged, hut. for betraying The oath-bound elans of Ihe kukluxes. If this is proved, then t!he case fails; for iit is founded by the government on the idea that im inform¬ ing against illicit distillers, Worley was enjoying a right, and privilege guaran¬ teed by the Constitution! and the lav's of the United States, which makes the determination of the kuklux band to kill him a conspiracy under Federal Statutes. The defence also claims broad¬ ly that Butler and Quarles are innihcent of participation in tllie hanging of Wor¬ ley. The Government claims that Quar¬ les and Butler are conspirators. The issue in the case is conHplraey and not ain over tact. Mr. Bell opened for the Government and was followed by Mr. Robinson, for the defenice. Mr. Rucker, assistant dis¬ trict attorney, made the next speech and Col. W. C. Glenn, leading attorney for the defence, closed 1 for Iris side and Col. James, United States district, attorney, made Mile corneludiinlg speech. Judge New¬ man reviewed the case and turned 1 it over to the jury at 7 o’clock. STEVENSON’S ESTATE. Tlie Estate Will Realize From $100,- OOrt To $150,000.

April 12.—Tlie reports cir- eii'ated in the United States that. a meeting of insurgent leadens would lie held in Guntn-aro in the province of Puerto Principe on April 10th for the purpose of promulgating formally a declaration of independence, -were erron- eons. No sueh convention lies been held, nor is it known in wet I informed circles that a meeting of the character di tsoribed was intended. The reports evidently had no firmer basis than pass¬ ing rumors.

Mr. Sifton, attorney general of Mani¬ toba, said that the Legislature of Mani¬ toba.

Tlie Advance at Full River tin Ex- citing Topic. Providence, R. I., April 11.—When the 2,500 operatives of the Atlantic mills, Olneyvllle, went to work at 6:45 o'clock this morning intending, according to pro¬ gram to labor fifteen minutes and then to $o out on a strike, they discovered that their plans had been forestalled by the managers. Signs were posted on the gates notifying the operatives that the mills would be closed until further no¬ tice. At 9 o’clock the strikers held a meeting and discussed tho outlook A vigilance committee of twenty-live was appointed to guard the mills and keep on the lookout for scabs. Other eommlt- t es were appointed to arrange for so¬ cials aijd entertainments in the manufac¬ turing centres of the State for the pur- pose of accumulating funds for the sup- jioi't of the non-union strikers. Strike In Lowell. Lowell, Mass., April 11.—The Beldlng woolen mills were shut down today be¬ cause of a strike of spinners about 75 In number for an advance in wages. ’Tlie weavers were recently given a restora¬ tion of tio- It) per cent, reduction of last fall and live per cent, additional. The s demanded a similar advance and being refused struck this morning. Restore Old Rates. Povidence, R. I., April 11.—The United Slates Cotton Company of Central Falls today announced an advance to old rates on April 22. This is an increase of 5 to 10 per cent., applies to both mills and af¬ fects 750 hands. At Full River. Fall River, Mass., April 11.—The state¬ ments made at the weavers’ headquar¬ ters last night relating to an advance In wages by the American Linen Company are not well founded. The mill authori¬ ties said this morning that no advance had been granted and none would be granted at present. The Iron Works company's advance was an exciting topic of discussion among ithe mills today. The fact as stated In the morning papers that it was no philanthropic measure Is prov¬ ed beyond question but neverthe¬ less It l.s a business move that has rais¬ ed the highest hopes in the minds of operatives. Tho secretaries of the union say special meetings will be called at an early date and formal demands will bn made for a restoration of the cut down In wages made last. August. If the demand Is not granted the operatives will not work. Manufacturers are at odds in regard to the Iron Works Company. One of the leading ones said the advance Is a bluff to bull the market and if wages are Increased all around they will only be of goods assisting in moving the iarge block now held by the American Printing Company and the Iron Works mills. He thinks the man who raises wages in it hose times Is Insane for the margin is to small to warrant a change in the scale. Another manufacturer says the Iron Works have made a new rate and nothing Is left for them but to make the same one. STRANGERS AT H03IE. Atlnu.tu Men Find Intruders on . Their Promises. Atlanta, Ga., April 11.-—(Special.)— When Mr. T. L. Langston, of flic v bole.-ale grocery firm of Langston Sr Woodson, mitered his home, on I’each- troe street, last might about !) o'clock he was considerably taken by surprise to find a strange man comfortably seat¬ ed in a large rocker In the reception the room, apparently at home and enjoying ur.-il'ly sourroiHidings. Mr. I/angstoi i par demanded the f.tratutor’s creden¬ tials, aind when he failed to produce- tnom. or to give any satisfactory account of himself a policeman was called and the stranger hustled off to the lock-up. This morning the man had sufficiently regained his senses to tell the police that he wa.s Charles Jones, of West Point. II<> was, he said, a slave to the morphine habit and could 1 only account for Ms presence in tin* Langston man sion by having been under the Influence of the drug when he entered. 'PM-re were no articles missing in the house and this .morning Jones was »hipi>ed back to his home im West Point to keep him out of further trouble. Several days ago when W. R. Atkin¬ son, a butcher, living on Hayden street, went home after business hours he found a stranger silting in the room with his wife. The man declared that ho was a friend of the butcher's and hail an appointment v.8th Mm to go a-fishing with him. The butcher, how¬ ever, thought the man' had designs upon hjs matrimonial happiness, and ejected the stranger at the muzzle of a big pistol, firing two shots at him be¬ fore he found the gate. The butcher’s wife declared that she had never seen the man before; that he had just come in tund sat down, saying he had an en¬ gagement to go a-fishing. It is thought likely that this mys- tirious Individual was Jones, who turned up in the Langston home last night. He is an abject slave to the morphine lialiR, and as he told the police when he left today, is liable to do almost anything when under Its influence. DETERMINED MINERS.

"What were these kuklux going to do?” asked Col. James.

I told I iemiphil! he would subject himself to perjury.” and Mr. Bell was pint on tin* stand rehearsed the conversation between him and Mr. James. He said that Hemphill had said Butler was not at Blood 1 ! own. Ob Glenn cross-examined Mr. Bell. Mr. Itucker wins placed on the stand.
