It’is no unusual thing to see great,
rugged fishermen, bronzed and hard¬

All had shares in the losses of the
storm. Not one of them could claim,
exception from the universal d«prea
sion. There were a thousand duties to
be attended to, and they had little time
to spend in conversation.
Bo long as the festering dead lay Tin
buried, one did not have tho heart to
detain them from . their work. Just
imagine fathers and mothers bury

dren, in their extreme sadness, bury
ing their dead parents. Everywhere
one could see graves, wherein as many
as ten people were buried. Some
were drowned; others killed in the
wrecknge. There are liund eds of
bodies that are still unburied. Some
are under the wrecked buildings,
while the balance are floating on the
bosom of the bav of Caminada.
Beneath some of the wrecks there
are many decaying bodies, but they
canno t be taken out and given even

in describing that scene, for the cruel

Four hundred . , miners,who . . have . been
out on a strike for two months in the
Coal Creek and Bricevillc districts, re
turned to work Monday morning, as a

was a ten per cent reduction in the

for accepting the compromise was that,
their wives and children were starving
and that they must feed them.

The trial of the sixteen soldiers
charged with the lynching of Richard
Drummond at Bricevillc last August,
was commenced at Knoxville Monday
through habeas corpus proceedings
before Judge Sneed, of the Knox
county criminal court. A number of
witnesses on both sides were examined,
when the defense offered to rest its
case, but the prosecution objected on
the ground that three important wit¬
nesses were absent. The state was
given two days to produce them and
the court adjourned until Thursday.
A Harrodsburg, Ky., special says:
The jury in the case of H. C. T ass
more, for the murder of Richard Bax
ton on October 25, 1887, returned
a verdict Saturday morning for ac
quittal, being out less than a half an
hour. This is the fifteenth court the
case has been put through. As a re
suit the jury stood seven for capital pun
ishment, four for life and one for ac
quittal and they have been growing
more lenient every court since. The
case has cost the state over $30,000,
several jurymen being taken from ad
joing counties as well as witneses.
Advices of Sunday state that New ^
Orleans has raised a relief fnnd for the
storm sufferers of about, $75,000 in all,
and steamers, luggers, skiffs and
trains have been sent in every direc
tion to extend relief. The only new
development is tho intelligence from
Bayou St. Andreas, leading from the
the Grand isle district, that there are
a hundred deaths along that section,
making 1,660 deaths between Chen
iere and Bayou Cook. A great many
people are leaving their former homes
in the storm-stricken section, and flock
ing to New Orleans.
Tho Nashville Safe Deposit and
Trust Company made an assignment
late Saturday night for the benefit of
its creditors. The total assets are
$224,056.56, while the liabilities amount
to $224,056.56 The American Na
tional is a creditor to the amount of
$9,500, the Continental National, of
Memphis, $5,000; Fourth National,
$10,000; First National, of Nashville,
$5,000, and Nashville Trust Company,
$9,500. The cause of the failure is
due to the fact that the company could
not realize the cash on their assets. It
is claimed that the creditors will be
paid in full.
Judge Gary Nominated.
A Chicago special of Friday says ,
Judge Gary, who presided at the trial
of the Haymarket anarchists,
placed at the head of the republican
judicial ticket for re-election. The
democratic convention some days ago
declined to endorse him, and instead
named for the place on the ticket Ed

1 Bespectlully, \v. J. Northen,
Governor ot Georgia,
j | The following is the letter received
by Governor Northen from Mayor
Lamb:
J lie Excellency, It. J, Northen,
(love"nor of Georgia:
My Dear Sir—Your favor has been
received, with $6.40 included, for
which accept my thanks for and in be¬
half of the suffering of this city.
The conditions are daily growing
worse. It now looks as if every man,
woman and child in the city, except the
those who have immunity from
disease, will take the fever. A great
many negroes are sick, many more
than we had in 1876, and I am under
the impression that it is for want of
the white race to feed upon, although
there are many white people yet who
may have the fever.
I am praying for frost and aid.
Without the former, we must have the
latter, or starvation is inevitable. The
outside world does not understand
thoroughly our situation. In a few
words, it is this: No business; no
money; city treasury depleted; sick¬
ness and suffering everywhere. We
are, therefore, compelled to ask for aid
j from a generous public, which up to
tll ; 8 time j ias i, e en kind; but, with the
: f ever on tho increase and both money
and provisions coming in slowly, I am
compelled to appeal again for assist
ance While we have as yet no dis
turbances among the negroes, should
they become maddened from hunger,
j-p w hites would he powerless to de¬
{end themselves against such odds,
j apprehend no danger unless in that

can assure you,
anything but pleasant. I am trusting
in a kind Providence to guide mo in
these trials; and—please understand
uie—1 have not a word of excuse to
make for myself, but have feelings of
sympathy for a few men who left
Brunswick in her dire distress and
said to a charitable people abroad,
“The people of Brunswick are not in
distress.” If they were in the city
to-day and understood tho situation,
and should be struck with remorse,
they feel like praying to a merciful
Father for forgivness. You will par
don me, but 1 was anxious that you
should know that we had one or more
citizens who made the remarks referred
.to in this letter.
I feel it my duty to keep you advis
ed of the situation, knowing at the
same time that you are doing all in
your power to assist us.
My clerk this morning was stricken
with fever, ft lias no respect for por
sons.
With my best wishes, I remain (in
haste) Your friend,

TRADE TOPICS.
Report of the Past Week’s Business by
Ban & Co.
It is difficult to detect any signs of
improvement. While there has been
some addition to the number of manu¬
facturing establishments and the num¬
ber of hands at work during the past
week, it is becoming painfully clear
that the orders obtained do not suffice
the to keep limited employed at full time even
force at present engaged.
Reports from other cities disclose a
distinct check in business. There is,
on the whole, less activity and less
confidence regarding the future than
there was a week ago, ami this is in
many cases attributed to the uncer¬
tainty regarding the monetary future
which the delay in the senate causos.
The stock of money in New York
banks has increased rapidly, and the
retirement of clearing house certifi¬
cates at New York and at other cities
shows a great improvement in the
monetary situation.
There is not ns much encouragement
ns might be desired in the industrial
reports for the week. An increased
number of establishments is reported
in operation, but the sagging of prices
in print cloths and sonic other cotton
goods, and in the more important pro¬
ducts of iron and steel, discloses great¬
ly retarded business. The demand for
iron products is, on the whole, less
satisfactory than it was a week ago.
Steel billets are selling at Pittsburg
for $18 per ton, and there is practical¬
ly no demand for rails.
In tho manufacture of wool thero is
still a remarkabblo hesitation and
the demand for consumption is much
restricted, so that the purchases of
wool at tho principal market, notwith¬
standing some speculative buying,
have been only 2,626,996 pounds,
against 6,727,400 for the same week
last year. The movement of wheat
has been fairly largo and tho price has
declined about two cents, while corn
has also yielded about one cent.
Cotton is 1-4 cent higher, with other
distinctions in crop prospects, and
pork products are also somewhat
higher—pork, 75 cents per barrel.
Oil has advanced sharply, and after
some reaction closed 2 cents per barrol
higher than a week ago. It is possible
that the surplus currency in circula¬
tion lias the natural effect of stimulat¬
ing speculative activity. Happily, diminished the
changes thus far have not
the exports of products, which con¬
tinue fairly large.
Failures continue to decrease in
number and importance, though reported not as
much ns hoped. The number
for the United States for the past week
was 320, against 184 for the same week
last year, and in Canada 45, against 36
last year. Tho disposition to include
all banking and financial failures with
those of commercial and manufactur¬
ing concerns during tho past, year, has
led to estimates which de much injus¬
tice to mercantile interests.
THE VIGILANT WINS

America’s Pup.
A New York special says: Bowling

In His Action Pardoning the Hay

A Chicago special says: That the
democracy support Governor Altgeld
in the pardon of the anarchists, and
his denunciation of Judge Gary, was
publicly demonstrated at the county
