Brushing the withered cheek of tbo

Representative Livingston, of Geor¬

Smith, had a conference Friday with
Secretary Carlisle regarding the gov¬
ernment building at Chicago which it
is designed to move to Atlanta and
erect on the exposition grounds at that
place. Mr. Carlisle stated that the
building was sold oil the 12th instant
to a Chicago wrecking company, that
the contract had been made out and
the company’s check received, but that
the contract was not signed as yet nor
had the money been turned into the
treasury. He stated that be would be
governed by the wishes of congress in
the matter; that if congress desired
that the sale should be set aside he
would do so and the building should
be removed to Atlanta, agreeably to
the wishes of the exposition managers.

The city council of El Paso, Texas,
has passed an ordinance forbidding
women from wearing on the streets of
that city what is known as the divided

A Knoxville special says : The coal
miners’ strike iu the valley of Bast
Tennessee will soon be off. and all
miners at Coal Creek will return to
work, about 150 in number. The
miners at Olhver’s will, in all proba
bility, also go to work, This will
leave only the Jellico miners out. The
supply of coal will soon be abundant.
The severest and most damaging
hail storm that ever occurred in west
eru Texas is reported from Buchel
county. The ground was covered
to a depth of six inches with bail
stones, some of which were as large as
oranges. Crops were totally destroyed
and many sheep and poultry build¬ were
killed outright. The roofs of
ings were riddled.
The twenty-first annual session of
the national conference of charities
and corrections began at Nashville
Thursday, President Lucius S. Stores,

the report of the committee on state

said that much trouble had come from
the great influx of indiscriminate for¬
eign immigration.
Iu the federal court at Ban Antonio,
Texas, Jack Davis, a well known citi¬

attempting to bribe Bob Dow, a cus¬

Chinamen into the United States from
Mexico. Dow testified that Davis of¬
fered to pay him $50 per bead for get¬

The celestials were to be employed
near Bracket in picking cotton, The
sentencing of Davis was temporarily
suspended.
President F. G. Ernest, of tho New

TRADE TALK.
The Past Week was Rather a Dull
One.
R. G. Dun & Co’s Review of Trade
for the past week says:
“Btorms and floods, prolonged gold
strikes and largo exports of have
done their utmost this week to give
business a vacation. But the wants
unsatisfied during the past year, bela¬
ted and much lessened and yet greater
4dw; awy ~' "i ' b ** ' uali.nr, -turns'
caused a volume of trade quite large
for the season. While the iron indus¬
try especially and many others to some
extent, have been restricted by scarci¬
ty of coal ami coke, the number
of works resuming has been great¬
er than the number stopping from
other causes. But it is a symptom not
to be overlooked that the demand for
manufactured products, instead of in¬
creasing, appears for the moment
rather smaller than before and indif¬
ference of buyers is shown in cancella¬
tion of orders hitherto given. It is a
waiting season, but the disposition to
wuit is this year much intensified.
Works in operation are fairly busy in
closing tip orders for a belated spring
demand, but there is even more shrink¬
age iu orders for the future than was
noticed last year as the precursor of
coining dullness.
“There appears no increased demand
for cotton goods and manufacturers
have agreed that the accumulation of
