j Npw York City (Special).?Following
the election there lias been more or
less of an advance In the prices of provisions
of almost every sort. In some
lines this is attributed to special
t-auses which make it likely that high
prices will prevail throughout the winter.
In other cases the advance Is
V-ohsidered by dealers as merely a reaction
from vht weak market of several
weeks ago.
Pork at wholesale lias gone up threeeighths
of a cent a pound siu.-e tin
election, but is more than half a cant
Cheaper than in midsummer. A decline
in tln> prices of nil hog products
is always expected in the fall, and the
fact that it lias not taken place this
year is considered by dealers to ho almost
equivalent to a rise. In other
words, the price of pork now is about
one cent a pound higher than it was
:i year ago at this season. The quantity
in the market is about the same
as usual; hut for some reason or other,
more pork is being eaten.
The inexplicable vagaries of the
popular appetite tire well illustrated
just now by this market. While all
other pork products are advancing In
price, ham. usually considered the
choicest, is cheaper than it has been
in years. For almost the tirst time
on record bacon costs more than ham.
the difference being about two cents
iu the pound, wholesale. The great
consumption of bacon by the increased
United States Army is re
sponsible for much of this, but the ,
retail grocers. It is said, find very
little demand for ham. in spite of its
low price, while housekeepers are using
more bacon than ever before.
Whether there has been new action
by the Beef Trust or not. there has
been no advance in the price of dressed
beef in this city. It is cheaper now at
Wholesale than it was six weeks ago.
though it has rallied somewhat since
me election. Tlie prices quoted by |
, one wholesaler were 11s follows: At
the end of September, nine and n quarter
cents a pound: just before election,
eight and a quarter cents; now, eight
and three-quarter cents.
Dealers are looking for an advance
In poultry very soon, though prices
have not yet changed. The movement
of mutton, it was suggested, may be
in the same direction. The cold
weather has caused a jump in the
price of vegetables, especially peas,
beans, egg-plant, and ultra.
Eggs and butter are already selling
nt winter prices. Itutter costs twentyfive
and a half or twenty-six cents a
pound, about the same as at this time
last year. The best eggs are twentysix
cents a dozen, which is three cents
per dozen higher than in November.
1SJ?P. A commission man gave the
following explanation of the peculiar
conditions which have brought about
tills advance:
"The regular winter falling off in
the supply lias surprised us by coining
a month earlier than usual. It appears
that the hens are moulting prematurely,
and have stopped laying. Furthermore,
we have not the usual large coldstorage
supply to draw from. The
storing of eggs is usually a matter of
speculation, and last year, on account
of the open winter, it was not profitable.
Millions of dollars were lost on
cold-storage eggs last year, and there
><> mum Hesitation about going
Into the snnio enterprise this year that
the number stored is admitted to be
far less than in previous years."

THE ELMIRA FORGERY CASE.

Kltnirsi. N. Y. (Special). -The csise of
Mayor Frank II. Flood, who wsis sirrested
and released on Slo.iMin hail,
charged with forgery by Catherine
self under conviction for the same
offense, took :i 11 odd turn Wednesday.
it was announced that Miss l.oonic,
in the County Jail, had made aitoiher
atlidavit retracting tlie critninnl accusations
she had made against Mayor
Flood. Tltis atlidavit was given by
the notary who acknowledged it. Herbert
N. ltabcock. to Joseph 1'. Kustaee,
attorney for the Mayor.
Miss l.oonic. when questioned concerning
the mutter said that Mr. I bibcock
came to her with the information
that the Mayor was
prostrated, and would commit suicide
unless she made the retraction,
and to save his life, so site thought,
she made the retraction. Mr. Itabcock
declares that site sent for hi111
voluntarily and dictated to hint the
ret met ion.
Later in the day Miss l.oonic was
visited by J. John llassell. attorney
for the prosecution, she having expressed
a desire to make an atlidavit
retracting her retraction. She said
she had made it because of the representations
about the Mayor's prostrated
condition.
Mr. llussctt says that he does not
need the evidence of Miss l.oonic in
the ease, as lie lias an abundance of
other evidence.
Mayor Flood, instead of ' ing in a
state of collapse, has been about the
streets visiting his patients apparently
as unconcerned as he was before
the arrest was made.

on the exact spot where his fiendish
crime was committed. Preston Porter.
Jr.. or. as lie was familiarly known.
John Porter, paid a terrible penalty
for the murder of T.ouise Frost, an
eleven-year-old schoolgirl. It was (1.2:t
o'clock when the father of the murdered
girl touched the match to the
fuel which hail been piliMl around the
stake. and twonly minutes later a last
convulsive shudder told that life was
extinct. A number of reporters and
telegraph operators with portable instruments
were with the lynching
party. The wires w e cut. and reports
of the lynching, in the form of
bulletins, were telegraphed direct 'rout
the scene of the occurrence.
The executioners, who numbered
about :t(M> citizens of I.itieolti County,
had not the least semblance of the ordinary
mob. Their every act was deliberate,
and (hiring till the preparation.
as well as throughout the sufferings
of the negro, hardly an tituiecessttry
word was spoken. C.ritnly they
stood in a circle about the lire until
the body was ctitirelj consumed, and
then i|ttietly took their way back to Linton.
from whence tliey departed for
their homes shortly afterward.
While wagons went for fuel, chains
and the iron rail, otic man stood by
holding fast to tlio end of the rope'
about the negro's neck. Two score
men broke up the boards and assisted

When everything was ready the man

With his eyes raised, liis lips moved as
if in prayer. lie was not hurried. After
he had prayed a few moments.
Porter stepped upon the hoards and
placed his hack to llie upright iron.
Then a half dozen men hound him
with chains. A man dashed the oil
from a large can on the hoards. Then
the hoards were piled ahout the hoy
knee high. The crowd fell hack, forming
a semicircle facing the negro.
For a few moments there was absolute
silence. Twenty feet in front of
the negro a hotitire hunted and
crackled. Its ruddy light threw him
into hold relief. Faces of the men
ahout were illuminated hy it. Porter
looked ahout. then east his eyes up,
and again his lips moved. K. W.
Frost, Louisa Frost's father, stepped
forward, struck a tnatelt and touched
it to the oil. It hlazcd tip, sparks flew
into the air and the wood began to
crackle. Almost instantly the negro's
trousers caught lire. The lianas crept
slowly upward oil his clothing and
the sparks tlew in a cloud. Porter
turned Ills head and tried to keep his
face as far as possible front the increasing
Dames.

Suddenly the rope holding his hands
burned through. Then the arms, head
and shoulders slipped through the
chains. For tut instant the hotly stood
erei t. the arms were raised in supplication
while burning pieces of clothing
dropped front tlietn. The body then
fell over away from the lire, the head
lower than the feet, sti'.l fastened to
tlie rail. The chain held fast. The
hoily was tlivn in such a position that
only the legs were in the lire.
The cries of the nejjro were redoubled

lai'Kc pile made over the prostrate
liody. Tliey were soon ignited, and

"Oh, <Jod. have tm*rcy on these men,
on ilit* little iirl and her father!"
These were the Inst words of the ucero.
They were uttered after a series
of uroans.
Then tlie crowd began to disperse.
A little after seven o'clock not one
person could he seen about the tire. A
smouldering heap of charred remnants
of hoards slowed dimly across
the level prairie, and till was desolate
about the spot.
I'orter murdered Louise Frost, eleven
years old. near I.linen, and after
his capture he made a full confession.
The details of his crime, as he told
of it: were so revolting that public in
initiation rose nt once to white heat,
and the people and press at once declared
that he must suffer Immediate
death tts a punishment.
The general sentiment expressed approves
the execution of the negro, but
deprecates the method adopted.

People Should Be Careful in Select*
log Books for Children.
Bill Arp. In Atlanta Constitution.
I?et us move right straight along and
keep in the middle of the road. All is
not lost save honor, nor will the north
dare to cut down our representation in
Congress?such a move would alienai*
their new southern converts, for southern
Republicans are at heart all lilywhites
and have no use for the negro
in i>olities. Southern Republicans
have been under the ban so.dallv ever
since tho war. and they realize that it
is because they ;ier allignrd with the
negro. Captain uRn'v is right when
he says, "but for the negro in politicthe
Republican partv would have a
good chance to capture and hold the
south. The captain is a Republican?a
Tennessee in, a banker, and h:is traveled
much, and his party up north
ought to give weight to his opinions.
He is a gentleman, a man of integrity
and stands high in financial circles ail
over the country. Financially he is a
success and liberal with his money
but will not take Carnegie's advice and
give it all away before he dies. Yes.
the nigger is still in the wood pile, and
the Joke of it is the nigger don't know
it. There are not a dozen negroes in
this country who care a Hraw about
voting. If the white office sockets
would let them alone they wouldn't go
about the polls on election day. What
is wanted Is to purify tfi(? candidates.
If this can be done it: Atlanta why not
elsewhere? We all rejoiced over the
ele tion of Major Mints, for be ran for
mayor as a gentleman and had no heelers.
nor would he ask any man for his
vote or allow any corrupt electioneering
by his friends. He stubbornly re
fused to promise anything to anybody,
and, strange to say, was elected. Rut
the Republican party is growing very
fast in this section, and will grow into
respectability if they will let the negro
alone. Mr. Howry is right. Some years
ago when we had suffered a similar
defeat my friend Newt Tumlin was
greatly distressed, and told me in a
whisper that there was onlv one woy to
I get even with them, and that was t<?
jlno 'om. Well, there are lots of folks
jining 'em around in these parts. an?l
it is hard to Dll wlto is a Democrat
and who Is not. They tell ire that a
Democratic officeholder and two of the
executive committee of tills county
voted for McKinley, and our neighboring
county of Polk went for him by
500 majority. Maybe that is an evolu
tion that will stop the threatened re
dueiion of our representation, for our
Republican friends don't want, that to
happen any more than ye do. and they
will ille a protect and light it.
What we want at the South is to preserve
our good name, our historic lion
or and our traditions. A section tli it
liaK product d Washington. Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, Jack-on and Polk, as
Presidents, Clay and Calhoun and D e

minds of our children. We want a literature
that will not. continue divisions,

might accept or reject. In duo time
they came. and I took up tho nintn

civil war. The hook was opened at
random and there was an ongravirg of
William 11. Reward and the first para

into ofliro when he was confronted
by three audacious commissioners
from the rebel states." Audacious!
.lest think of it. I was mad
and got up and walked about and then
played on the piano a little and then
opened the hook again at Mr. Calhoun's
picture and read another paragraph,
which said that there was little difference
