By Southern Associated Press. New York, Aug. 30.—R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Improvement in the markets and prices continues, and whereas a few months ago everybody was nursing the faintest hopes of re- covery, it has now come to be the only question in what branches, if any, the rise In prices and in the Increase of business may go too far. A strong conservative feeling is finding expres¬ sion, not as yet controlling the markets or industries, but warning against too rapid expansion and rise, In some directions the advance In prices clearly checks future business. The industries u ’ e tK) f only doing better than anybody expected, but are counting upon .a great business for the rest of the year. Since the speculative spirit and the jiower of combinations pushed up prices of hides, leather and shoes, the demand has distinctly declined, at least for the present, and many works are out of order, while few are now receiv¬ ing enough to support a full produc¬ tion. Shipments from the East in Au¬ gust foot up 356,376 cases against 355,844 last year and 323,494 in 1892. The prospects for wheat have hardly improved this week, though the price has fallen 1 1-4 cents. Western re¬ ceipts have decidedly increased, but are only 3,905,905 bushels against 6,428,- 294 last year, and Atlantic exports are only 1,373,356 for the week, flour in¬ cluded, against 3,271,118 last year. In the past four weeks Atlantic exports have been only 4,368,589 bushels against 11,701,863 last year and this alone Is quite enough to explain the failure to maintain the sensational advance in prices which so effectively checked the outgo. Corn is coming forward more freely and the price has declined 1-4, with the promise of a great crop. Pork and lard are a shade lower. Cotton is ristfs as If. there were no surplus of 3,000, bales American ear- ried over to the new crop year, which begins with next week. Whether ex¬ aggerated or not, reports of injury have impressed traders and purchases in three days here amount to 955,800 bales. The price has advanced to 8.19 cents, and as there is no large supply of actual cotton available at this time, he market price can be easily moved. Itut if the yeild is as short as buyers believe it is not a good sign for busi¬ ness at the South, since the abundance of old cotton in foreign markets must hinder exports at higher prices dur¬ ing t! -1 very months planters are forc¬ ed to sell most of their product. Al¬ ready dispatches indicate that trade at many Southern {mints is slack. The volume of domestic trade is but slightly better than in previous week, exceed¬ ing last year by 18.8 per cent, against 16.3 for earlier weeks of the month and falling 8.1 per cent, below 1892. against 9.1 in earlier weeks. Railroad earnings in August have been hardly .(if! per cent, larger than last year, hut 10.3 per cent, smaller than in 1S'92, the loss on Grangers and South¬ western roads being large. Tonnage castbound from Chicago was 1SG.<,10 In four weeks of Air;ust, 189,192 last year and 207.095 in 18112. Failures in three weeks of August show liabilities cf $0 519.300. manufacturing .$3,517,377 and railing $2,852,989; in the same weeks last year liabilities were $8,214,479, manufacturing $2,845,338 and trading $3,884,414. Failures for the week have I. . n 180 in the United States, against l.'b last year, and 42 in Canada, against HI Inst year. Bradstreel’s Review. Ne w York, Aug. 30.—Brads reet’s to¬ morrow will say: The concluding week of August surprises even he more op¬ timisin'. with a striking Increase ! n the volume of business of jobbers in staple lines at such centres as New- York, Bos¬ ton, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. I’atil. .Minneapolis and to a moder- <e extent at distributing points in t ie i,uth Atlantic and Gulf Sta’cs, among Them Charleston. Chattanooga. AiU:na, Savannah. Jacksonville, Birmingham and Dallas, in dry goods, millinery, fists, clothing and groceries, the aiPumn demand is making itself felt with the prospect for a further improvement in i 1 , mediate succeeding weeks. This sit¬ uation is encouraged hy the practical .ettaintj of an unprecedentedly huge crop of Indian corn and phenomenal liaiiest of wheat in the Northwest, as well as hy the unexpected upward fi, and of prices of steel and iron, fol¬ lowed hy a corresponding gain in le- imilil. The gain in quotations for steel and is one of the sharpest within a wed; on record, and following, as it dees, nr, advance of about 50 per cent. the lowest , x . levels , reaehed , , , in 1893- f: , urn 1 y j. i- enough to raise the question of whether a veritable boom is impend¬ ing in this market. A jump of marly $2 per ton for Bessemer pig within a week, $1.50 for billets, $1 for charcoal ulg. and Western mills refusing to take ,T,]’-]S for future delivery except at value render these industries excited, All forms of finished irons and steel GRAY, JONES COUNTY, GA., SEPTEMBER 5, 1895 will tend upward in price. The total volume of general trade for the summer has beeu larger than in 1804 and in many instances than in 1803, with the outlook today for even a better fall demand than many had an¬ ticipated. The upward and onward im¬ pulse of this week is noticeable. All winter lines of goods have felt an un¬ proved request, and manufacturers and jobbers in dry goods, hardware and groceries announce the receipts of many orders for September delivery. Even in Texas, where the south of the State ha* suffered from drouth and at the north from continuous rains and where the cotton crop is to be short in consequence, country merchants report a better demand in some lines and fair demand from wholesalers. The gen¬ eral course of prices has been indicated with reference to the leading metals, and higher prices for cotton stimulates advances in quotations for ginghams and prints. Wool is firmly held, largely owing to the strength of London mar¬ ket. LIBERTY BELL. Judge Thayer Decide* That the Bell May Go to Atlanta. By Southern Associated Press. Philadelphia, Pa.. Aug. 30.—Judge Thayer, rendered an opinion today, de¬ ciding that the city could take the Lib¬ erty hell to the Atlanta exposition. The opinion was delivered in connection with a bill in equity recently filed by certain well known citizens against the city, Mayor Warwick, Jas. L. Mills, presi¬ dent of select council, W. F. Hartman, president of common council Director of Public Works Thompson, and Chief Eisenhower of the bureau of city prop¬ erty. The complainants appeared in the role of citizens and tax payers, and asked for an injunction to restrain the defend¬ ants from taking the hell to the Atlanta exposition, on the grounds among other things of the illegality of the appropria¬ tion to pay the expenses, and, also be¬ cause such a trip beyond the city limits would be putting the bell to a use other than its proper and legitimate one. Judge Thayer refused the motion for the injunction, and ordered that the hill he dismissed with costs. In his opinion, Judge Thayer says, among oth¬ er things, “Independence bell, or the Liberty bell as It is commonly called, is the property of the city of Philadel¬ phia. The property of Philadelphia in the Liberty bell is ns absolute and as untrammelled by conditions as is the title by which any individual holds his persona) property. It. la the prop of the corporation and entirely under its control. It may not make an unlawful or fraudulent use of it, and against such a use a court of equity might enjoin it. But to warrant such an interference, the use must plainly appear to be a fraudulent or unlawful use. “T am clearly of the opinion that there are no conditions of law or justice which forbid sending the bell to Atlanta, and that so far from violating any princi¬ ple of law in so doing or any public or private right, the city authorities are in the performance of an act both lawful ai d laudable, and which not only does not deserve legal animadversion, hut is In itself entirely proper ami praise¬ worthy.” HIS HEAD CUT OFF. Peculiar Accident to Fireman ou Pennsylvania Railroad Engine. By Southern Associated Press. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 30.—David A1 lison, fireman on Pennsylvania Railroad engine 1313, was killed yesterday in a peculiar manner at Milwood coal tip¬ ple. The heavy iron apron of the tip¬ ple was lowered just as the fast run¬ ning engine shot under it. The cab of the engine was torn completely off. Allison was standing on the foot board of the tender. His head was cut com¬ pletely off, and fell into a gondola car while his body was left standing on the engine tender. The engineer escaped by jumping. It is reported that the tipple tender has been arrested hy Westmoreland county authorities, and will be held P< tiding an investigation. Allison was 25 years of age, and resided with his fam¬ ily at Derry. A GIRL’S SIN. Slip Had Been Criminally Intimate With a Negro. By .Southern Associated Press. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 30.— News leached this city last night of the hanging of a negro by a number of indignant citizens of Simpson county. The story, as it reached here is as follows: John Mulligan, a prosperous farmer in Simpson county, had a handsome daughter 14 years of age. who he compelled to work in a field with negroes. The daughter became enciente some months ago and charged a neigh¬ bor’s son with being the cause of her trouble. Last Sunday a child was boru to the girl.

Hutchinson was destroy¬ ed by fire Saturday morning, five miles from Winneconne. Several of the crew of eight had a narrow escape from being burned. .1. P. Smy-k. of Oshkosh was the captain and owner. The boat was worth $10000, DWYER WAS NOT PLEASED. In Ills English Racing Ri|irrlrncs He Found Little Fair Play. Michael F. Dwyer, tile turfman, set foot on American soil yesterday for the first time since he went away last March to have a shy at the British horsemen on their own ground. He came home on the steamship Fulda, and but for the announcement in last Sun- ,| a y morning's World his home-coming would have been entirely unexpected. He had intended coming on one of the ships of the American line, but chang- ed his mind nt the last moment. The most important piece of inform*- lion tthat Mr. Dwyer brought with him was that his racing partner, Rich¬ ard Croker, has made every arrange¬ ment to return to America, and will be here within the next thirty days—that is, If nothing occurs to make him change his mind. Mr. Croker has been kept fully advised of the political sit- nation in this city and, although Mr. Dwyer would not admit it directly, he | believed that the time lias about come for him to return, if not to take the Tammany reins into his own hands, at j least to help those of his friends who now find themselves in a quandary. Of his own experiences abroad, Mr. Dwyer, with his customary diffidence, was inclined to say but little when he was seen by a World reporter. The great plunger was never a very good talker. That he had had a .good time and had thoroughly enjoyed himself was quite apparent. His trip abroad has done him an immense lot of good iu a physical way, even if he did have some misfortune with his horses. He looks to he much heartier and strong¬ er than he was when he went away. With all that, however, he admitted that he was glad to get luick to Ameri¬ ca once more. He qualified this some¬ what, though: by saying that he may return to England at some time in the future and have another go at the game over there. This first trill of his has beeu some¬ what in the nature of an experiment, and when he goes again he will be pre¬ pared to make use of all that he has learned in his kindergarten- experience in British racing. One of Mr. Dwyer’s most marked traits is his vengefulness. He feels that he was not fairly treated across the water and it will be strange if he does not go back ready to get even, in every respect. "The only horse that I have left In my stable.’’ said Mr. Dwyer, "le Harry Reed. The others that I took over have gone Into English etables and 1 hope that their new owners will get a 'whole lot of good out of them. Per- ha^-d'iey will and perhaps they won’t. “Still I do not want to complain too much about the treatment I have re¬ ceived. I knew Just what I would have to expect when I went abroad and If everything did not come my way I have only myself to blame. They do things in a different way .in England from what they do here, and the man tha1 i gue* there expecting to have every- thing his own wayy will come back with a very different Idea. I must ad- mit that T was not altogether pleased with my treatment on English race- j tracks. Not once did they ever give 11 - the best of it in a handicap. In fact, it was almost invariably the oth¬ er ^vay. My horses and those of Mr. Croker had to pack up the weight wherever it was possible for the in to pile it on 11 s. “From the very first my horses were handicapped far above their real worth. The English handicapperg seem to have had an idea that we hail nothing but world-beaters in our string, and thus it was all odds against our ever being al)!e to will a race Banquet was an ,,ld horse when I took him there, and t)lP W oights they put on him were sim- p ] y enough to anchor him. A good horse, he was scarcely given a fair ,-fiance to slhow what was In him. "When I found that they were not going to let me win a handicap, X had to put my horses into selling races, where I could fix the weight to suit myself and make it something within the powers of my horses. Then the Englishmen took advantage of another ritfit that was allowed them fiy the rules of this kind of races, When 1 " they would bid my horse up and I edlicr had to pay a round «»m to re- Inin him or else lose him. If I was i,eaten, some one of the other owners in rare wollM claim my horse, and 1 WO „| ( j h av e to let him go. In that way they got all that I had, except Harry Reed, and I guess they would have fiad him, too, if the starter had not left him at the poet in the last race in which he started. He had an excel- j,. n y (fiance to win. and I am sure that they knew it. It’s a hard thing to sa y that your horse has been left at the post intentionally, but I must admit that t felt a good deal that way in this instance. Anyway, I was very much disgusted, and it was as much that aa anything else that hastened my inten¬ tion to return to America. So, T Just <111 it them, and here I am. Harry Reed is corning home, too.” “How did you make out in the way of betting, Mr. Dwyer?” “I understand that there have been rriany reporta of our large winnings and our large losings, too, while we were in England. Well, you know how that is. They can get up those reports very easily and without much foundation. As a matter of fact we did have some hud days, but then that does not signi¬ fy anything, for I have had Just such days here and never felt very bad als/uf it. f did lose considerable money on my own horses, but I managed to pick out a few good things in the sta¬ bles of other owners, and I had enough money on them to cover .what I had lost on my own. It is a« easy to pick out a good horse there as it is here. It/s easy, too, to get your money down in large lumips if you want it.” Jockey Willi- Sims did not accom- panv Mr. Dwyer on his return. He tarts for home today, so as to be here in time .. to . ride Handspring for Phil. l>uver in t.he Futurity. VOL. 1. NO. 36. SOCIALISTS OF CHICAGO.

The Socialis¬ tic labor party carried their red emblem j through the streets today, tint its color 1 was concealed by a covering of black. 1 They held a celebration this afternoon In the backyard of a saloon on Oly- bourne avenue, at which Oscar Neehe and Michael Schwab, two of th an: r ehlsts pardoned by Gov Altgeld, and Lucy Parsons were present. The day was made the occasion for the presen- tation to the party of a handsome red Hag by the wives and daughters of So- ciallsts. On the grounds it was UU- furled amid great cheering, but it was not waved in obedience to orders from the mayor, The gathering of Social- ists, some of whom declare themselves to he anarchists. and others who would be insult d with any other name. was not so large or enthusiastic as similar as- scinblages have been, The speakers were M. V. Britsius and Michael Schwab. Mr. Schwab said his follow- ers would succeed if 11 hundred thous¬ and of them were thrown into prison, lie urged those present not to go home and sleep, but to rally their people and teach their children to light against op¬ pression . HOUSE OF COMMONS . The F.vnennHon of Egypt tlie Niili- Jeet of DiseilHNlon. London, Aug. 30.— In the House of Com¬ mons today, Dr. G. H. Clarke, Radical member for Caithenessehlre, in order to raise a debate upon the question of Eng¬ land's occupation of Egypt, moved to re¬ duce the foreign office estimate. In sup¬ port of tits motion lie declared that it was time the Government should do something In the direction of the evacuailon of Egypt. Mr. Curzon. under foreign sec¬ retary thought It not a fit occasion upon which to debate so large a question, in view of the fact that the attendance In the House was greatly depleted, in the face of empty opposition benches, compre¬ hending the absence of Sir William Mar. court and many of his colleagues In the late Government lie (Curzon) declined to enter into the question. He would only say that he saw no signs of a drift In the English pom In Egypt. Sir Charles Dllke (Radical) Insisted that England was bound in honor to evacuate Egypt. After a brief discussion the motion submitted by Dr. Clarke was withdrawn. THE REBELS REPULSED. tin) tin- SjiihiIhIi Loss Win Only Two. Havana, Aug. 30—A dispatch from Puerto Principe says that Col.

Lexington, Ky., Aug. 30.—Late re¬ ports from a portion of Harlan county, bordering on the Virginia line where a fend has been raging between the He! tons and Taylors, are to the effect that the Brooks hoys, five in number have enlisted under Taylor’s banner, and bud Jim Jackson who fiae killed several men, and is now out on hail for shooting with intent to kill, has joined the Heltons. The hanging of Talt Hall hy law quieted the blood-thirsty mountaineers in that section for a time, but the rev- ernie men who have been busy in Ilnr- Ian county, trying to break up illicit dis¬ tilling have stirred up the factions again. The county is almost inaccessi¬ ble, but both factions are said to be well armed and all conditions are fav- orable for a genuine feud. SPANISH REINFORCEMENTS.
