TRADE TOPICS.
Bradstreet’s Review of Business for
the Past Week.
Bradstreet’s bulletin is to the effect
that the most striking features of the
business of tho p)ast week are the in¬
fluence of improved crop prospects
and the continued large demands for
iron and steel, with one of the largest
makers in the market as a buyer of
BesBemeT png. Most of the commer¬
cial and industrial features of the week
before are retained. The volume of
trade has not varied materially, but in
instances is larger than the corres¬
ponding period last year. Trade in
almost all lines is fairly active for the
season, and the general tendency of
mercantile collections is toward greater
ease. Commercial travellers are being
sent out in all leading lines, and re¬
ports from those now on the road ap¬
pear to meet expectations. Among
larger eastern cities no striking changes
iu the condition of trades are reported,
with the exception of an improvement
in industrial lines and in the lake trade
at Buffalo, and a rather smaller vol¬
ume of business reported from Balti¬
more. Pittsburg iron furnaces are
sold months ahead, and at Philadelphia
the strike among the textile workers
remains unsettled.
Fair orders are being received by
jobbers and merchants at both Chicago
and St. Louis, but no pronounced delivery re¬
vival in the demand for fall is
expected until after August 1st, coun¬
try merchants preferring to await the
corn crop prospects at that time be¬
fore giving orders. Cotton and steel
industries there ore refusing orders
except at full prices. A fair business
is reported from Kansas City, although
needed rains throughout Kansas are
expected to improve things in the near
future. Excellent crop prospects in
Nebraska have resulted in more activ¬
ity at Omaha, where trade in some
lines is in excess of that of 1894.

Do I Igs of the Chiefs and Hoads of the
Vai-lous Departments.
* The first installment of the exhibit
of the agricultural department at the
Atlanta exposition was shipped from
Wash.ngton to that city Saturday,
several cars being necessary to carry
the freight. It is the intention of
•Secretary Morton that his department
exhibit shall outshine all others.
Gold coin to the amount of $120,-
000 was withdrawn from the subtreas¬
ury at New York, Saturday, to be sent
to Canada. It was paid in greenbacks
and assay office checks. J. H. II. Nesa-
lage, of the former firm of Nesalage,
Colgate & Co., states that the gold
shipment contemplated before the dis¬
solution of the firm has been canceled,
all reports to tho contrary being erron-
eous.
According to reports received by the
ninrine hospital service, the yellow fe¬
ver is making largely increased ravages
among the people of Cuba. The
medical inspector at Havana states that
in the week ended July 25th there were
seventy new cases in that city and
twenty-three deaths. From Hiogo
and Tokio, Japan, comes the report
that in the week ending July Gth there
were 104 new cases of cholera with
seventy-nine deaths.
It is announced that a few days ago
the government bond syndicate de¬
posited with the sub-treasury $2,000,-
000 in gold in exchange for legal ten¬
ders. This was done for the purpose
of making good to the treasury the
amount of gold withdrawn by various
houses for shipment to Europe and
other places during the month. This
deposit brings the government gold
I balance up to the highest point reach¬
ed since the syndicate has completed
its payments on account of bonds.
Secretary Carlisle is angry over the
alleged interview with himself, pub¬
lished iu the Richmond State , in which
he was made to say that Mr. Cleveland
would not be “a willing candidate”
for a third term, and that the secre¬
tary “did not want” the nomination.
The interview was written by the edi¬
tor of tho State, who is an internal
revenue collector. He called on Mr.
Carlisle in his official capacity, and
whatever Mr. Carlisle said was not for
publication. . Two days afterwards the
alleged interview appeared.
Internal Revenue Receipts,
i Commissioner of Internal Revenue
I Miller has submitted his preliminary
I report for the fiscal year ended June
I7th.
| The total receipts from all sources
I I of internal revenue for the year were
$143,245,977, a decrease for the fisoal
I year just ended of $3,922,471 as com-
I piarod with the year 1894.
| The expenses of this bureau for the
I fiscal year ended June 30th, 1895, will
I approximate $4,008,253 and deducting
I Ibis from the disbursements made in
I connection with the assessment and
I payment of the bounty ou sugar
I amounting to $10,391, the net cost of
I collecting will be about $4,037,861.
I The exact amount expanded for the
I collection of internal revenue cannot
I be ascertained exactly until all accounts
I of collectors for the fiscal year are re-
I coived and adjusted.
I No More Seed.
I Secretary Morton’s antagonism to
I the existence of the seed division of
I the agricultural department reached
I its logical conclusion Saturday in an
■ order abolishing the division, to take
■ effect October 1st, by which date W.
IE. Eagan, chief of the division, by the
■ same order is directed to have its work
■ wound upr.
The abolishing of the seed division
■will throw out of employment ten peo-
Iple, I besides the chief, at present, and
will result iu depriving fully 150 more
lof occupation during the busy season
I—the winter months—when it is cus-
tomary to send out the bulk of the
seeds. The chief has a salary of $2,-
000 a year. There are two clerks at
$1,200 and eight at $840. The extra
force employed in the winter season
is paid at the rate of $1.50 per
day. It is probable that Mr. Fagan
will be appointed to another branch
of the service after his resignation as
khief the seed division takes effect.
Warnings to be Sent Farmers.
Professor Moore, chief of the weath¬
er bureau at the capitol, has issued
a new order to officials of the service,
impressing upon them the importance
of giving special attention to those
agricultural, commercial and other
property interests in their localities
that kny are to be injuriously affected by
unusually severe weather condi¬
tions, such as cold waves, frosts, heavy
rains or snows, violent xvind-
pterins, etc., to the end that
those interests may be protected
as far as possible by timely warn¬
ing of the expected occurrence of the
onditiona mentioned. The order pro-
ides how this information shall be
inseminated and places much of the
rork at the discretion of tho local
ificial. Warnings are thus to be sent
IRWIN COUNTY. GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1895.
A MIJLTI-MTJRDERE]
EVIDENCE IS ACCUMULATING
AGAINST THE MAN HOLMES.
Bones of Human Skeletons Found
Hidden in His House.
A Chicago speoial says: Not so
sensational a find as that of Wednes¬
day was made by the men digging in
the basement of the Holmes building
Thursday, bat it was one which may
go much farther towards securing the
conviction of the murderer. One of
the workmen found in a pile of rubbish
a letter signed “H. H. Howard,” and
dated May 5, 1895. The signature is
one of the many aliases used by
Holmes and one of the commonest of
the lot. This letter is in his well-
known bandwriting and is addressed to
an occupant of the building whom the
detective who took possession of the
letter before the reporters oould get
hold of it refused to name. It is be¬
lieved, however, that the letter is to C.
E. Davis, the jeweler who occupies ths
building with Druggist Robinson.
The letter inquires particularly as tc
the doing of Janitor Quinlan, and asks
where he now is. It then goes on in a
jocular manner to discuss the fate of
the Williams girls, and asks of the re-'
cipient whether he has seen them oi
their ghosts about the building. Spec-
ial inquiry is made as to the partitions
in the house, and in conclusion the
writer expresses the belief that he will
not have to stay in jail much longer.
It was at first reported that two letters
had been found, but Detective Norton,
who has charge of the material found
in the cellar, denies that this is so. He
declares that the two supposed 'etters
were only parts of the same letter.
A new accusation now rests against
Holmes that he made away with Mist
Cigrands, with whom he lived in ths
house at Sixty-third and Wallace
streets just before he had the William!
girls there. The neighbors remember
little of the girl, not even her first
name. She was a stately looking
blond, about twenty-five years of age,
and lived with Holmes something lesi
At northwestern cities—Milwaukee,
Duluth, Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Sioux Falls—-there is the customary
volume of midsummer business, with
prospects for a greatly improved fall
trade. The feature of the week at the
south is in the rather more satisfactory
report from Memphis, Chattanooga,
Augusta and Galveston, where orders
have been received in some instances
in excess of expectations, and the vol¬
ume of business is larger than at the
corresponding period last year. At
such points aB Charleston, Savannah
and New Orleans no material change
is reported as compared with a week
ago, and the like is true at Birmiug-
ham. Atlanta reports rather less do¬
ing in dry goods, notions and groce¬
ries, but that the outlook for trade
this fall is good. The volume of busi-
ness lias fallen off at Jacksonville. The
most disturbing influence in Louisiana
is the withholding of payments of the
sugar bounty. business fail-
The total number of
urea in the United States for the week
as reported to Bradstreet’s is 237.
The week before the total was 214 and
in the week a year ago it was 237.
A VERDICT FOR MASSEY.
Tho Suit Against the Norfolk Pilot
Brought to a Close.
A Norfolk special says: The jury in
tho case of John E. Massey, state su¬
perintendent of public instruction,
against the Norfolk Pilot and others
for libel, rendered a verdict Saturday
afternoon giving Mr. Massey $1,600
damages against the Pilot Publishing
company, Samuel W. Small and R. E.
Byrd. Tho jury, before leaving their
room, took a pledge not to divulge
the individual standing of the body,
so nothing is known of how they stood,
except that ten of the members wero
for heavy damages ranging as high as
$30,000, one was for giving Mr. Mas-
Bey 1 cent and the other, was for the
defense.
Judge Heath, of counsel for defense,
moved to set aside the verdict, which
was refused by Judge Prentis. It is
said that the defense will not take an
appeal. Massey’s attorneys to be
Mr. appear
satisfied. One of them said that so far
as the matter of money was concerned
that $1,600 was as good as $16,000,
and that all Mr. Massey really desired
was vindication before the country.
MILLlltEN ARRESTED
On a Warrant Sworn Out by Judge
Phillips of Washington.
A private dispatch received from
LaGrange, Tenn., announces the ar¬
rest there Saturday morning of Ben¬
jamin Harrison Milliken, private sec¬
retary to Senator Harris, of Tennes-
see, who was indicted by the grand
jury at Washington sworn out by
Judge Phillips, charging him with
housebreaking and attempting assault
on his daughter, Miss Fertrude Phil-
lipg, 0 n the night of July 4th last.
“In Union, Streiiffth and Prosperity Abound.”
MORE HOLMES HORRORS.
A Certainty tliat Four People Were
Killed In Ilia Castle.
A Chicago special says: Unmistak¬
able evidence of murder at the Holmes
castle, in Englewood, was placed in the
hands of Inspector Fitzpatrick Satur¬
day. That at least four people have
been cruelly murdered in this chamber
of horrors is now a practical certainty.
The skeleton of one of Holmes’ vic¬
tims, supposedly that of Mrs. Julia
Connors, is now in the inspector’s office
in the city hall. The other skeletons
which came from the same place, will
also be placed in his possession. A
fourth body has been traced to Phila¬
delphia and its recipient there will be
no doubt discovered in the course of a
few days.
The man who produced this start¬
ling evidence was closeted with the
inspector and Detectives Norton and
Fitzpatrick from 6 till 9 o’clock Sat¬
urday night. The inspector declined
to make his name known at present,
for the roason that it would handicap
his further investigations.
This man’s story is that he first met
Holmes in response to an advertise¬
ment which appeared in a daily news¬
paper for a machinist. This was in
the summer of 1892. He worked for
Holmes in that capacity for several
months
CANNOT Floor IN TEXAS.
Governor Culberson Down on the
Fltz-Corbett Mill.
Governor Culberson, of Texas, has
issued a proclamation prohibitive of
the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. He as¬
serts that it is a flagrant defiance of
law and will bring disrepute upon and
foster a-spirit of disobedience of law.
The proclamation itself is as follows:
“Whereas, Texas, with her hospita¬
ble and intelligent population and lim¬
itless resouroes, needs do incentive of
violated law to induce immigration or
investment, and whereas, the consti¬
tution of the state enjoins that the ex¬
ecutive ‘shall cause the law to be faith¬
than six months. When she went
away Holmes told Jeweler Davis,
as tbs letter claims, that he had
succeeded in “marrying her off.”
It will be remembered that this
is very much like what ho told con¬
cerning the disappearance of Mrs.
Connor. He said at the time that he
had married her off in California.
Miss Cigrand came to Chicago from
Indiana. She associated but little
with the neighbors and even the other
inmates of the building were in¬
complete ignorance concerning her
habits, Holmes was not often
seen with her and on these
occasions he kept aloof from his ac¬
quaintances and introduced her to no
one. Mrs. W. L. Doyle, of 747 Sixty-
third street, knows more about this
girl than anybody else, it is believed,
but the Central station officers will not
permit her to talk about the case.
The building in which Holmes’ Chi¬
cago crimes were i)robably concocted
and accomplished will not be pulled
down. P. E. Chandler, a broker who
holds a mortgage on it for $12,000 ad¬
vanced to Holmes with which to
build, was told by the building inspec¬
tors that all that was necessary was to
improve the upper portion. This
will be done and an order of fore¬
closure has already been seoured
from the court and an order will
be asked for allowing the im¬
provements to be put on. The prop¬
erty is now worth $40,000. Besides
the principal there is $4,000 bank in¬
terest and taxes due on it.
A few more bones were found Thurs¬
day in the same bole in which those
were taken the day before. They were
the vertebrae and a portion of a hu¬
man shoulder blade. The force of men
has been doubled, and the work is
progressing much faster.
The belief is gaining ground that
Holmes’ wife, who lives at the suburb
of Williamette, knows more of tho
crimes of her husband than she cares
to tell. ,It is probable that she will be
nut in the sweat box.
WISCONSIN BANK CLOSED.
The Depositors, However, Will be
Paid in Full.
The Keystone National bank at West
Superior, Wis., has been taken charge
of by C. H. Brush, the national bank
examiner. The heavy drain of the
last two months has caused the
deposits to decrease from $280,000
to $227,047. The bank claims its assets
are $291,000 and liabilities $259,747.
The city had on deposit $28,000 and
the state $75,000. Other local deposi¬
tors bring the amount up to $187,000.
It has always been considered one of
the strongest institutions in the city,
and since 1890 has paid good divi¬
dends to its stockholders. The assets
are amply large to protect all deposi¬
tors, and in all probability it will re¬
sume in the near future.
Tlie “Pilot” Assigns.
The Norfolk Pilot has assigned,
liabilities $17,000. Judgo J. E. Heath
was made trustee for the creditors.
The company will^be reorganized, and
will issue hereafter a four-naee naner
“Now, therefore, I, C. A. Culber¬
son, governor of the state of Texas,
by virtue of the authority vested in
me by the constitution and laws there¬
of, do hereby urge the various officers
charged with such duties both to pre¬
vent the commission of such offenses
and cause offenders to be punished.
And all persons contemplating warned future
infraction of said laws are to
desisist therefrom and are put upon
notice that to the limit of executive
authority I shall take care that the
law is faithfully executed to the end
that such offenses may be prevented
and offenders punished-.”
RATE WAR INAUGURATED.
Big Cut In Freight From the North by
Steamship Lines.
The rate war on goods coming south,
between the Ocean Steamship Com¬
pany and the Merchants’ and Miners’
Transportation lines is on in earnest.
For two or three days past, wholesale
dealers have been receiving circulars
from tho office of the Ocean Steam¬
ship Company at Savannah announc¬
ing heavy reductions on all classes of
freight. The circular stated that the
rates would go into effect on July 29.
The reduction is quivalent to about
60 per cent, on all classes of freight..
Circulars were also received from
the officers of the Merchants’ and
Miners’ Transportation company, an¬
nouncing a similar heavy reduction in
rates on all classes of freights, and the
reduced figures offered were identical
with those made by the Ocean Steam¬
ship company. Unless the rival lines
agree to go back to the old basis of
rates, the contest between them will
likely prove very interesting.
THE OFFER ACCEPTED.
Savannah and Atlantic Bondholders
Join the Central iu Reorganization.
The Savannah and Atlantic bond¬
holders have accepted the offer of the
Central reorganization committee.
This was the only road remaining out
of the reorganization syndicate
Bonds were at onoe deposited. Thurs¬
day closed the depositing of securities,
but it is believed there will be a fur¬
ther extension.
Was a Blank Cartridge.
The schooner Carrie E. Lane, which
the Spanish gunboat compelled to
heave to off Santono while bound from
Cienfugos to .the Delaware break¬
water, arrived at Philadelphia Sun¬
day. Captain Quick denied that the
vessel was fired at, and said that only
a blank cartrige was shot across her
bow as a signal for the Lane to heave
to. This she did promptly, and no
objection nor protest was made when
the vessel was boarded and searched
by the Spanish marines.
Large Building Burned.
Fire early Sunday morning almost
bompletely wrecked the five-story
office building at Nos. 28 and 30 West
Twenty-third street, New York.
Scbarles Bros., toys, and Joaquin &
Co.’s French millinery showrooms,
which occupied the whole of the
ground floor, were totally cleaned out,
and their loss, added to the losses of
the other ocoupants of the building,
will briug the total damage done by
the flames up to at least $200,000.

DERATE CLOSES.
THE WORDV BATTLE BETWEEN
HOUR AND HARVEY ENDS.
Twenty-Four Hours In all Consumed
in the Debate.
The Horr-Harvey silver debate came
to an end at Chicago Monday. Every
seat in the art gallery of the Illinois
Club was ocoupied when time was call¬
ed for the closing session of the great
war of words and the walls wero lined
with listeners eager to catch the clos¬
ing remarks of the contestants.
Twenty-four hours in all had been
consumed in the debate, which ran
through eight days, and 115,000 words
in all wer# spoken, according to the
original agreement. The two gentle¬
men still had 2,500 words in which to
close. This is to be submitted in
manuscript any time within seven days
to be inserted in the book which is to
be published. During the entire de¬
bate Mr. Harvey read from a manu¬
script. The audience was on every
occasion composed mainly of free sil¬
ver men and did not seem to weary of
Mr, Harvey’s reading, but cheered
him at every opportunity.
Mr. Harvey denied that he had been
furnished with money by silver mine
owners to aid in the debate and the
tone in which he said: “I was not
hired to talk here,” seemed to indi¬
cate that he thought his opponent
was:
Resolutions were passed thanking
the Illinois Club for the use of their
house and expressed appreciation of
all that had been done by various la¬
dies and gentlemen to assist in carry¬
ing ont the debate. A resolution was
also passed thanking Messrs. Horr
and Harvey for the information which
they have presented to the public
since the debate began.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Situation as Reported
for the Past Week.
A review of ths industrial situation in the
south for the past week indicates that the
usual midsummer dullness among, industries is
not at all iu evidence this year, but on the con¬
trary they are more active than for two years,
especially the iron, textile and lumber indus¬
tries. Reports from all ovor the south indi¬
cate an increasing demand for lumber, but no
advance in prices. The iron foundries, mills
and furnaces ail over the south are busy, and
new furnaces that have been out of blast for
four years are resuming. Iron is stiff at pres¬
ent quotations. There have been several ad¬
vances in wages during the week, chiefly
among textile plants. Reports from Alabama
indicate a revival of interest in gold operations
and the purchase of several abandoned gold
mines by new companies that will work them
extensively. Among industries reported
the the thirty new fol¬
for week the most important are as
lows: A $75,000 cotton compress at Birming¬
ham, Ala.; extensive mines to be opened min¬ near
Birmingham, Ala, and Montreal, capital Ark.; $100,000, a
ing and smelting company, Hope
organized at Little Rock, Ark., and the $100,000,
Oil and Delinting Company, capital
at Hope, Ark. The Standard Cotton Seed Co.
has been chartered at Little Rock, Ark., with
a capital of $100,000; a $50,000 metal and stove
polish manufacturing compmy at Wheeling,
W. Va.; a $100,000 Bewer pipe and drain tile
factory Will be built at Elmendorf, Texas, and
a $20,000 oil mill at Williamston, N. C. Two
cotton mills will be built at Greensboro. N. C.,
with a capital of $200,000 each; a 10,000 spin¬
dle mill at Lnmberton, N. C., and one to cost
$60,000 at Salisbury, N. C. Woodworking Orleans, La.,
plants Gum will he established at New S. C.

CHAMPION CORBETT HURT.
He Is Badly Bruised In a Bicycle
Collision.
Jim Corbett was seriously hurt in a
bicycle race at Asbury Park, N. J.,
while practicing at the Athletic
grounds for his race at Manhattan
Beaoh with Bob Fitzsimmons. He w,as
spinning around the track ata2:30gait,
paced by a stranger, whose name he
does not know. Behind Corbett was
his brother Joe. The stranger fell,
Corbett went over him, and Joe tum¬
bled over both. The champion was
badly bruised, and is unable to raise
his right arm. His leg was cut from
the hip down, and it is necessary to
support him when ho walks about.
The accident will prevent Corbett from
racing with Fitzsimmons. The wheel
ho was riding was a gift from Zimmer¬
man, who won oyer one hundred races
on it while abroad.
WILL QUIT BUSINESS.
Union National Bank of Denver Will
Wind Up Its Affairs.
Tho Union National bank at Denver,
Col., of which W. H. Woodbury is
president, has closed its doors. It
will liquidate its affairs and go ont of
business. The Union bank was closed
during the panic in 1893, but subse¬
quently resumed business and later
was consolidated with the State Na¬
tional bank, which also has been closed
during the panic. It is said deposi¬
tors will lose nothing and business will
not be seriously affected.
