Albany, Ha., Sept. 1.—The Cannon
Ball train from Montgomery to Albany
met with an accident which came near
proving disastrous. The train was in
charge of Conductor Wightmau, with
Engineer John T. Taylor and Fireman
Ed Scoville on the engine, just this
side of Georgetown is Mercer's creek,
which is spanned by a trestle 45 feet
high.
During the night a portion of this tres
tle was undermined and washed away,
a fact which was not known until Engi
neer Taylor discovered it when only a
short distance from the last span. He
realized the great danger instantly, and,
telling his fireman to jump for his life,
he applied his air brakes and brought
the balance of the train to a standstill
just as he and his engine went through
the hole and fell 45 feet to the creek be
low.
It was a terrible leap that Fireman
Scovill made, rolling and tumbling down
the embankment, but that was nothing
compared with the fall of the brave en
gineer. who stuck to liis engine in the
face of death and saved many lives by
his heroic action: and best of all, he was
rescued from his wrecked engine two
hours later without serious injury. Fire
man Scovill was not hurt either, and as
sisted in cutting the debris away and re
leasing liis brave chief.

Minneapolis Leads as the Great Wheat
Center of the World.
Minneapolis, Sept. G. — The grain
crop year closed Friday, and a full re
port of the wheat business for the last
12 months in the principal markets of
the country has been received here. On
the whole, the business for the country
was heavy.
Every city in the country except Chi
cago shows a falling off from two years
ago in the amount of wheat handled.
Chicago lias an increase of 8,000,000
bushels.
Minneapolis continues to lead the cit
ies of the world as a primary wheat
market, the receipts last year being 65,-
004.210 bushels against 71,940,790 for the
preceding year and 14,000,000 more than
for any other year.
The flour mills of Minneapolis ground
in the crop year just ended 48,000,000
bushels of wheat, and shipped out 8,013,-
821 barrels of flour, or within 106,000 of
the highest output for that season.
Duluth and Superior together received
39,743,907 bushels of wheat, against 49,-
844.211 bushels the preceding year, and
shipped in the same time 34,529,859
bushels, leaving only 5,000,000 to be con
sumed in local milling. Chicago re
ceived 52,532,834 bushels, and shipped
35,936,744, the receipts for the former
year being" 44,260,307.
Chicago also received tliis crop year
80,000,000 bushels of com, 79,000,000
bushels of oats and 15,000,000 bushels of
barley, besides other grains.
Washington, Sept. 5. — Saturday’s
conference at the treasury department,
the details of which have just leaked
out, created somewhat of a sensation in
Washington. It has settled the mem
bers down to the firm belief that the
president intends to make an issue of the
repeal of the tax on state banks. The
stand he has taken is very generally ap
proved and more especially so as the re
peal of the prohibitory tax is to be
hedged around with such safeguards
that wildcat money will be impossible.
There is reason to believe, too, that the
president will call sharp attention to the
question of an income tax when he sends
liis regular message to congress.
The tendency of the president in this
matter lias made the Democrats in the
south and west generally feel cheerful.
The}* anticipate harmonious action and
an era of good feeling in the Democratic
party as soon as the silver question is
disposed of. The president is dead in
earnest in carrying out full}* tills pro
gram outlined in the Chicago platform.
The tariff bill he will urge upon congress
will be a real measure of reform anil not
a simple tinkering with the matter. Of
course full details of the conference at
the treasury department are lacking.
Enough has leaked out, however, to
warrant the belief that a strong forward
step is intended, and that congress will
be given something else than the silver
question to think about in the near fu
ture.
Already Begun.
It is said that Secretary Carlisle is,
even now, engaged in drafting a bill for
the repeal of the fax on state banks. He
has called to his assistance, for confer
ence, some of the leaders in the house,
and the outlines of the measure are well
under way.

A Short, but Bright Resume of the
Week’s Business.
New York, Sept. 4.—Bradstreet says:
j The clouds over the general business sit-
! uation throughout the country have
j continued to break away. This is the
| second week in which an actual im
j provement has been recorded, as indica-
ted by an increase in volume and distri-
| button of merchandise report's! at Cin
cinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City
and Omaha. More travelers have been
sent out from these and other points, and
manufacturing industries there as well
as at larger eastern centers have in a
number of instances begun starting up,
some without special orders.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: The industrial situation
mends but little. The sigjs of improve
ment observed a week ago were scarcely
sustained, for, while 12 textile and 13
steel concerns have resumed after stop
page, 55 textile and two steel concerns
have stopped. In addition, 13 others
have reduced working time, and several
have reduced working forces.
A more satisfactory indicatiion is that
the failures are greatly diminished yi
importance and some in number. The
number reported during the past week in
the United States is 365 against 148 for
the same week last year, and in Canada
29 against 28 last year. In the eastern
states the failures number 149; in the
western 142 and in the southern 65, show
ing an improvement in each section.
SUICiDE OF GRAVES.
Burnaby
It wil
of national banks as state institutions,
and the repeal of the 10 per cent tax will
permit them to issue currency the same
as national banks now do. The currency
will be based upon state, municipal and
other bonds, or private securities of such
a character as to meet the approval of
the government authorities. The gov
ernment will have supervision over the
banks as it now has over national banks,
and the government is to be security for
the issue.
All state banks now existing or organ
ized in the future will be permitted to
issue currency, provided they comply
with the requirements of the law. but it
will provide against the issue of curren
cy by any fiauk which does not comply
with the full text of the law; that is,
the 10 per eei^t. tax will apply to such
banks. That feature of the present na
tional banking law allowing banks only
to issue currency to the amount of 90
per cent, of their bonds will probably be
retained.
Business Revives Abroad.
London, Sept. 4.—Ten thousand more

pounds.

ders. had they not been embarrassed by
the coal strike.
The McKinley Turin.
Since the McKinley act went into op
eration the Welsh tin plate trade has suf
fered greatly, and the manufacturers
say they were quite unprepared for tiio
new difficulties raised by the coal fani
ine.
The closing of the tin plate mills de
prives 7,000 men of work.

the signiorage of the bullion purchased
under the bnerman law.
He estimates that the deficit for the
year will be $50,000,000, which would be
covered by ttie coinage of the seigniorage
and the issue of certificates on the silver
purchased to Sept. 1.
The need lor money, especially paper
currency, is so pressing that the secretary
will recommend the issue of certificates
in advance of the actual coinage, which
would enable the treasury to meet its
obligations without making further in
roads on the gold reserve.
