This is no hyper¬ bolical description, as the record of the last live years will show. During that time it has built and put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton aetory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pntupa arge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬ tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory opened np the finest granite quarry in the United State*, and has many other enter¬ prises in on temptation.

OPENING ARGUMENT The Old Roman In the Bell Tel¬ ephone Case. COGENT ORATORY BROUGHT INTO PLAY.

The case is No. 846, the United States against the American Bell telephone company. Judge Thurman made the opening ad¬ dress for the United States. The case grows out of a suit brought by Acting Attorney General Jenks in the circuit court of the United States for the dis¬ trict of Massachusetts to have canceled two Bell patents granted Alexander Graham as inventor of the telephone, on the ground that the patents were obtained By fraud. After the Bell company had entered its demurrer the opposing counsel appealed and went to the Supreme Court. At first the judges voice was low and husky, but clear soon gathered strength and remained ana strong to the close of his forty minutes’ speech. His manner of speaking was plain, simple and di¬ rect, and in his choice of words he used the homely Anglo-Saxon that was as in¬ telligent to the laity present as to the learned justices themselves, and standing erect, facing the court, his right hand holding his eye-glasses and his left slowly at the and pocket distinctly, of his trousers, and ho spoke ab¬ with an sence of oratorial flourish. When he desired to emphasize some point in his argument, it was done with a simple downward sweep of his right hand. He was only interrupted twice, and then by questions of no pertinency as showing tne opions of the justices. When lie took up the opinion of Judge Colt, of Massachusetts, overruling the govern¬ ment's demurer, he said that it seemed to be sin in the eyes of some judges not to blindly follow the decisions of theii predecessors, be particularly and this, he said, good “seemed old to true in the commonwealth of Massachusetts." “We, in the west,” he continued with a smile, “don’t think so, and if a judge renders a wrong decision, and another judge gets Is a chance to do reverse his deci¬ sion, he very apt to it’ When the judge had concluded he drove out to Oakview and remained until this morning as the president’s guest. A conference, in which the presi¬ dent, Judge Thurman, Speaker participated, Carlisle and Representative Scott was held there. Whit© Men Shot by a Negro Officer.

He said to-day: “It was the strangest thing that ever happened to me in my life. It was that story dreamed in the Enquirer that caused it. I I was choking a grave robber, and when I awoke I was choking Spring¬ er, and he was nearly dead. If I had re mained asleep a few seconds longer, the best friend I have in the world would have met his death at my hands. I am almost afraid to go to sleep with him to night."_____ IMPORTED FEVER.

C., known -throughout the south as “the earthquake mayor,” arrived it towu a few days ago to attend the meet ing of the Peabody trustees. He wat seen at the Fifth avenue hotel Saturday afternoon by a reporter, and was asked his views regarding the present yellow fever epidemic in the south. He said “It is a demonstrated fact that fellow fever is imported, and it would seem that common sense would dictate an entirt suspension of communication between the southern states and the home of yel¬ low fever in the tropics. This seems ti have been deliberately set aside for o year or two past, and the consequence ir that, with swift steamer communicatior from Tampa to Key West and Havana, and, as alleged, a contraband trade be tween the west coast of Florida and Cuba in full blast, the disease has beet imported into Florida. absolute non-inter “Nothing less than than half the dur course for more year, evil. ing hot If weather, the present will remedy business this great arrange ments between Florida and Cuba are maintained, we shall soon have yellow fever common in the Gulf states certain lv, and perhaps in those further north, fhere seem to be local influences, corpo rate and private, in Florida, which are dependent upon this communication with Cuba. It is a question for tha coun try at large, and especially for the south ern states, to decide whether the lives of their citizens are to be endangered interests and their immense business are to be permanently relatively injured to satisfy business what seems to be the small in Florida. “There can be no doubt that the loca. health officers at Key West and Tampa as well as the officers of the United States marine hospital service, have ac quiesced in this rapid communication with Cuba during the past two years.

They have really escaped death very lightly being this year in Florida, the rate not more than one in eight; in Memphis ii was very much heavier. The danger in the future is too great to admit of pro¬ crastination. The whole subject has been discussed elaborately by the highest sci entific and medical authorities in the columns of the Charleston World during shown the past month.and all experience that in these articles proves conclusively yellow fever is a direct importation frenj the tropics.” A Fatal Game of Card$.

NEW YORK SPARING NO PAINS TO GAIN SUCCESS Stumping up tha Hudson In a Canal Boat— Tha President About to Sell Oak- »le» — Tha Indian Affaire Commission—Notes. Washington. D. C., Oct. 10,—[Spe¬ cial.]—A prominent correspondent here has wired his paper a number of interest- interviews cn the prospect afforded by the coming national election of one party surviving the ether, upon the theory that one of the great political organiza¬ tions is bound to go under anyway. tion The of most the interesting he political specula the of the day, presidential says, next election, to is the re¬ sult future of either party in the event of victory or defeat, it has been freely pre¬ de¬ dicted that if the republican party is feated again this year it will go to pieces as an organization, as did the whig par¬ ty, which it succeeded. Likewise with the opposition. If, after twenty-five years of exclusion from control of the government its renewed experiment in is power doubtful is repudiated if it could by again, the people, it as now con¬ stituted, ask for popular support. In case of defeat to either party, therefore, it is likely that it will be reformed upon lines very different from those upon which it appeals to the people in this critical year. The President to Sell Oakview. Washington, Oct. 10.—The president has definitely decided upon the Oakview, and already entered into nego Rations therefor. It is understood fur¬ ther, that when the sale is completed he will purchase a fine old place on the heights of Georgetown. This latter is one of the oldest in the District, and, in addition to the fine old house and pictur¬ esque grounds, there is an historic inter¬ est attaching to the place. Upon the oc¬ casion of Lafayette's visit to this country he was entertained there at open-air fete and, after strolling about the spaciout grounds, through the paths bordered by tall, the fantastically clipped box large hedges, he led way indoors to the draw¬ ing room, where, with the hostess, he trod the measures of the stately minuet. The president and his wife first noticed the place in their frequent drives through Georgetown to and from Oakview, and became so charmed with it that finally Mrs. Cleveland one morning drove through the gates leading requested up a gravelled path to the house, and the permis¬ sion to be 6hown through place. As may be imagined, the request was at once complied with by the owner, who conducted the president's young wife through the quaint rooms with the same stately courtesy which had characterized her grandmother’s manner upon that memorable visit of Lafayette over half a century ago. The Tariff Bill Discussion. Washington, Oct. 9—[Special.]—It looks to-day as if the senate might only indulge in a general debate on the tariff bill, and that a recess over the election or adjournment sine die may take place in ten days or two weeks. There are probably republican not more than eighteen the or twenty senators in city, and the democrats cannot boast of many more. The senate committee on epidemic dis¬ eases has reported as a substitute for the resolution or Senator Call relating to a proposed resolution medical conference asking the on yellow fever, a president to direct the chief of the medical bureau of the army vnd navy and marine hos¬ pitals bers of service a conference to co-operate to be held with here mem¬ in December, and to report the result of that conference to congress.
