New You. July 15.—R. O. Dun &
Co.’a weekly review of trade say a there
ia a somewhat better tone in buaineaa
becanae the money marketa are a little
lee* stringent. Bat it cannot be aaid aa
fltot that there ia any dlatinct improve
ment. In every direction naoal con-
re rvatiam prevaila, orders are email, the
volume of buaineaa is restricted and *
waiting policy rules. Improvement at
Boston is alow, owing to extreme sales
for money. At Pittsburg no drop is
seen ia iron, though trade is very dulL
The glass trade is in fair condition and
the flual business dull. At Cincinnati
trade is quiet, money a shade easier and
bank deposits increasing. At Cleve
land trade ia good in -groceries, but
otherwise dull; collection are slow and
money close.
At Indianapolis business is waiting
and collections are not satisfactory ex
cept in groceries and in Detroit trade is
light, money is close and out of 28 char
coal furnaces in Michigan only three
are in operation. Chicago reports un-
oanal caution among bankers, thongh it
is believed that the worst is over and a
fair trade in merchandise, though col
lections are slow.
Improvement ia expected from the re
sumption of bnsiness iii the iron and
silver regions and the building tiado
shows signs of revival with material 20
per bent cheaper than last year, real es
tate dealings 75 per cent less and re
ceipts of moat product smaller. Jobbers
are cautious at Milwaukee and many
manufacturers are working short time.
At Minneapolis confidence is strength
ening, the lumber trade isgood and col
lections are fair.
At St. Paul a better feeling is seen,
though trade is exceedingly cautious.
Omaha reports activity in groceries and
fair trade in hardware, but other trade
quiet. No improvement is noted at St.
Joseph and trade at Kansas City is
quiet, with liberal receipts of hogs and
cattle. Trade at St. Louis is very satis
factory, witn good orders for the fall,
and business is ahead of tha average for
the season. At Denver trade is quiet,
but collections slow. Louisville reports
easier money and business fair in vol
ume. At Nashville bnsiness is quite
fair and at Montgomery, improving. At
Little Rock business is more . hopeful,
with good crop prospects, and ot Co
lumbus trade is fair with collections
Unimproved, and at Atlanta satisfac
tory in volume, but collections are very
■low. Trade is dull at Augusta, though
crop prospects are good, and at Mobile
crop prospects are tair and trade satis
factory. At New Orleans little im
provement is seen and money is very
tight, bnt a better feeling prevails, for
crop prospects are bright.
Poor Floor Reports.
Minneapolis. July 15.—The North
western Miller, in its weekly review,
says: II is seldom that the mills make
as poor a showing as to flour ground as
they did last week. The output was
only 183,260 barrels, averaging 22,210
barrels daily, against 150,745 barrels
the week before. 147J«00 barrels the cor
responding time In 1802, and 180,265
barrels in 1801. The small production
last wsek was largely due to the Fourth
coming on Tuesday, all sxcept two of
ths mills being shut down that day and
a good many on Monday as wall. This
week will show s heavy increase, as
some of the mills whoss turn it would
now be to shut down, on t£e rule of
of stopping every other wHk, are under
full headway. The number running
Wednesday was 15, and they were pro
ducing at the rate of 24,000 barrels per
24 hours

were doing a good deal pt export busi
ness two or three weeks ago report re
duced sales in that quarter. . The do
mestic-trad* has been poor right along,
beingioonteed largely to regular cus
tomers buying in small lots, and there
is no change. The foreigners continue
to bid for ell grades, even including
bran snd shorts, but their views are us-

seller as to preclude very free trading.
A number of firm* are sold ahead on

THE BRAVE ACT
Of Young Mr. Moomaugh in Trying to
Stop a Runaway Team.
Yesterday between one and two
clock considerable excitement waa
caused by a runaway ou Broad street.
A Mr. Dove, cf Madison county, had a
wagon with two mules hitohed to it
standing on Broad street- There was a
little ohild in the wagon 5 or 6 years
old, and perfectly helpless and entirely
at the mercy of the frightened animals.
As the team went flying up the street,
the little fallow kept bis teat in the
bottom of the wagon, everyone fearing
to see him dashed out and badly in
jured. Many a: empts were m.di by
different persons to stop the team, and
as it passed up in front of the Savings
Bank, Mr. B. H. Moomaugh ran for
ward and attempted to jump upon the
back ot one ot the animals. Catobing
hold Of some ot the harness, it slipped
out of place oi gave way, thus throwing
the daring young man between the
mules and the wagon. He clung on to
the harness] for a few yards and was
thrown violently to the ground when
pissing Souddsr’s jewelery store.
Mr. Moomaugh was bruised np some
what, but we Ore glad to say nothing
ssrious reunited from his fall. It \
a brave act and deserves commendation.
Thai frightened! animals tamed- the
oorner end went on up College avenue
to Baldwin’s oorner, where they were
finally stopped. Fortunately no dam-
she ^as done to the'ebild or the team
It was a touching coene, as the mad
dened animals went forward, to see the
little ohild sitting quietly in the bot
tom of the wagon, seeming to be un-
eonaeloos of the danger.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.
A Buggy Badly Cut Up and Greatly
Damaged-
A few d»ys ago Mr. J. L Henson, of
Puryear’s district, came into the city
and purchased a handsome buggy from
Mr. Z. W. Betts., The buggy was car
ried home, and perhaps that night, or,
at least, before it was ever used again,
some miscreantentered the buggy
house of Mr. Henson and, with a knife,
cut out the dash-bnrd and other parts
of the vehicle, including the cushions,
literally cutting these pans into strings.
When Mr- Henson went out to hitch up
the next morning he found his buggy
ruined, and it hal to be carried to tbe
shop for repairs.
Mr. Henson-alao reports that a widow
lady living not far from his home was
treated the same way. A good buggy
was literally cut to pieces, and so badly
damaged as to be nnfit for use. Also,
another person in the same neighbor
hood was treated in the same manner,
having bis buggy so badly ir jored as to
be unfit for use.
Such conduct as this is reprehensible
in the highest degree, and if the gailty
party or parties could be caugbt, the
penalty of the law should be inflicted

rency to the par value of bonds deposit
ed by them, instead of 60 per cent as at
preeenj allowed. A committee of five
member* was appointed by the chair to
co-operate with other commercial bodies
in securing necessary legislation. The
resolutions were unanimously adopted.

SERIOUS TIMES.
Charleston May b9 tha Scene of a
Little Revolution.
Charleston, July 15.—The mailed
hand of Governor Tillman made a move
today agAinat the blind tigers in'
Charleston, There have been running
now just two weeks sinoe the dispen
sary law went into effect, and while it
is true that every house in Charleston
has a supply cf stimulants stored away
enough to last six months the blind
tigers which sprung into existence on
July 1 have been doing a thriving busi
ness. For about ten days the city has
been thronged with tbe governor’s
•pies. Two days ago the assistant at
torney general of the state arrived here
and for two days has been in consulta
tion with the spies and the prosecuting
officer of the county. Today the at
torney general applied to a magistrate
for search warrants but that officer re
fused to issue them owing tqalaokof
some legal technicality.
Tbe ooune of the proceedings if taken
as now sketched out will, It may be
safely stated, precipitates storm and
outcry far surpassing any which baa
yet attended the inauguration of the
lew. Magna charts, rights of trial by
jury are proposed to be practically set
aside.
Simultaneous with the arrest of tte
accused on charges of violation of the
dispensary law and before , trial and
conviotion his place of business is to
be condemned and abated as a nuisance,
thepremism searched and the goods
and chatties confiscated to the stete and
carried eway. This if the program
mapped oat by the dispensary law and
this the program that Governos Tillman
proposes to enforce in the metropolis of
the state.
Itia no secret that its enforcement
will be resisted by foroe if necessary.

Mrs. Scott was born in Jackson coun

Mrs. Scott wsb a model Christian
lady, as sll will testify who knew her.
She was liberal in giving to the church
and the poor and needy. We cannot
sa; too much in her praise.
She leaves no children to mourn her
death, but a host of relatives and
friends.
Her remains were interred at Pen
dergrass yesterday at 11 o’olock.
