BUNK'S TRABE REVIEW. Industrias Situation Safe for Sev? eral Months. New York, Oct 25.-R. C. Dun & .Co's Weekly Review of Trade tomor? row will say : With mills, shops, fac? tories and furnaces assured of full op? eration until the end of the year as a rule, and many contracts already run sing far into 1902 there is no occasion for anxiety regarding the industrial .situation. Jobbers are still urgently asking prompt deliveries by manufac? turers of staple lines, while opening tranasctions in fancy goods for the holidays are unusually early, showing that dealers anticipate a large trade. Prices of commodities rule firm and * collections are satisfactory, even ^southern payments coming forward pomptly now that the tardy cotton crop has begun to move freely. Each week the situation as to iron - and steel becomes more encouraging, orders now running to the middle of 1902 in many finished products. De? spite the extensive addition to pro dcutive capacity last year, there is still much work in progress or prepa? ration, promising many new plants ready to start next year. The feature of the week was the placing ? of . enor? mous orders for steel rails, practically assuring another record breaking out? put In cotton goods the situation is disturbed by the action of a large manufacturer, who advanced wages 5 per cent, a short time ago, and again this week announced a 5 per cent rise to go into effect on Nov. 4th. Most satisfactory prices are received by domestic wheat growers, last year's figures being surpassed, not? withstanding the large increased yield just harvested. Smaller crops of other cereals and hay caused the use of much -wheat in fattening live sotck, and -with lard more than two cents above last year's prices and mess pork $3 a barrel higher, this has been a most -profitable proceeding. Cotton lost part of the recent ad? vance, owing to heavy port receipts and the failure of frost to appear as ?arly as expected. Picking progresses rapidly and a good yield is almost as? sured. Failures for the week numbered in the United States 240 against 205 last year and 29 in Canada, against 28 last year. _ * Secretary Hester's Statement. New Orleans, Oct 25.-Secretary Hester's weekly statement issued too? day shows for the 25 days of October a decrease in the movement into sight compared to last year of 115,000, an increase over the same period year be? fore last of 234,000.

NINETEEN BURNED TO DEATH. Awful Result of a Fire in Phila? delphia. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct 25.-Nine? teen known dead and property loss . amounting to upwards cf $500,000 is the awful result of a fire which occur? red today in the business section of this city. The number of injured is not known definitely, but fully a score of victims were treated at various hos? pitals. Police and firemen are tonight delving into the ruins in search of Jbodies supposed to have been buried beneath the debris, as it is feared that others besides the known dead may have lost their lives in the flames. The buildings destroyed were the eight story structure 1219 and 1221 .Harket street, occcupied by Hunt, Wilkinson & Co. upholsterers and furniture dealers, and three three story buildings occupied by small mer? chants. The big furniture buildings extended back a half block to Com? merce street and was owned by Henry C. Lea. At 10.20 o'clock the blaze broke forth in the building occupied by Hunt Wilkinson & Co. The origin of the fire is unknown. It is said that an explosion of naphtha or gasoline in the basement was the cause, but it is denied by Mr. Wilkinson, who says there never was a sufficient quantity of either explosive about the building to be responsible for today's terrible disaster. Rumor has it, also, that an elevator constructor at work in the basement permitted the flame of the lantern to communicate with some of the gaseous liquids stored in the base? ment and that this was the cause of the conflagration. A company in London is undertak? ing to supply four-cent meals to the hungry. There are places in New York where a person can get a good, wholesome meal for about six cents. Wilmington Star.

Admiral Schley Spends Day Upon Stand. Testimony of Several Witnesses Contradicted. Washington, Oct. 25.-When the Schley court adjourned today Admiral Schley had not completed his testimo? ny in chief. He took the stand about half past il o'clock, after former wit? nesses had been recalled for the pur? pose of making corrections in and ad? ditions to their testimony, and contin? ued his statement until the court ad? journed at 3.40 p. m. This adjourn? ment 20 minutes in advance of the us? ual time was due to the fact that the admiral's throat had become somewhat sensitive as a result of his continuous talking yesterday and today. He had made complaint to the court of the condition of his throat immediately after concluding his rceital of the story of the battle of Santiago, and Admiral Dewey, who evidently himself had noticed the difficulty, responded by showing a willingness to adjourn the court. Mr. Raynor, however, ex? pressed a desire to proceed, saying that he had a nubmer of questions which he wished to ask, and Admiral Schley assented to his counsel's sug? gestion. A quarter of an hour later Admiral Dewey himself renewed the suggestion for an adjournment, and all concerned agreeing to this proposi? tion the court adjourned until Mon? day at ll o'clock. The day was a notable one in the court. By large odds the largest crowd that has yet attended any of the sessions was present, and earnest in? terest was manifested throu^iout the proceedings. Long before the begin? ning of the morning session all the seats reserved for visitors in the court room were occupied, and the greater portion of the space in the rear of these seats was covered by men and women standing. They not only stood upon the floor but upon the window sills and tables, and even the elevator machinery in that portion of the hall was covered by men. On only one ocasi?n was there any attempt at ap? plause, and this was suppressed before I it had reached any magnitude. The chiei event of the day was the admiral's relation of the events of July 3, when the American fleet sent Cervera's squadron to the bottom of the sea or to the beach. He told his story of this historical occurrence in plain words, and in unaffected style, but the narrative was straightforward j and to the point, indicating close fa? miliarity with all the phases of that event. He said that the Brooklyn for a time had sustained the fire of all four of the Spanish ships, and also the fire of the Spanish land batteries. Explaining the historical turn of his own flagship, the Brooklyn, he said that she had not approached within less than 600 yards of the Texas, and thai; he never had considered that ves? sel in the least danger. He 'also stated, in response to an interrogation from Mr. Raynor, that he had never during the battle engaged in any col? loquy with Lieut. Hodgson, and that he had not used the. expression attrib? uted to him by Hodgson. This refers to the alleged colloquy in which the admiral is charged with having said damn the Texas. Admiral Schley also gave the details of the reconnoisance of May 21, when the Spanish ship Colon was bombarded. In this con? nection he denied the statements at? tributed to him by Commander Potts of the battleship Massachusetts. At the opening of the court Lieuten? ant Commander Harlot of the Vixen was asked this question by the court : "Did the Vixen carry a verbal report from Commodore Schley to the com? mander-in-chief July 2, that there was unusual activity shown by the enemy in the harbor?" "To the best of my recollection the Vixen received by megaphone from an officer on the quarter deck of the Brooklyn on the night of July 2nd, such message as that, and to the best of my belief did, as she uusally did, carry such messages to the flagship and to other vessels of the squadron." In response to Capt. Lemly witness said he had no recollection of the de? livery of this message to the com? mander-in-chief. Admiral Schley Cross Examined by Judge Advocate Lemly. Washington, Oct. 28.-The cross examination of Admiral Schley began today before the court of inquiry and i hardly more than a third of the ground was covered when the court adjourned I at 4 o'clock. After Admiral Schley concludes two other witnesses will be called in his behalf. Admiral Barker and Capt. Thomas Borden. The lat? ter was an officer of the marine corps aboard the Brooklyn. The judge ad? vocate then will call his witnesses* in rebuttal, of whom there are understood to be more than 15, and it is probable that Admiral Schley's counsel will call witnesses in surrebuttal. The crowd present while hardly so large as on Friday last when Admiral Schley told the story of the battle of Santiago, showed unabated interest in the proceedings. Nothing sensational developed and the only outburst in the court occurred when Mr. Raynor, Ad? miral Schley's counsel, objected to a line of inquiry of the judge advocate designed to criticise Admiral Schley's alleged failure to formulate a plan of battle, with the declaration that as Admiral Sampson was in command his junior had no right to plan an order of battle. Admiral Schley concluded his direct examination, which continued only about 10 minutes after the court con? vened this morning, with a statement j of the effect of the fire of the respect- j ive fleets at Santiago, showing that 36 j per cent, of the hits suffered by the j enemy were scored by the Brooklyn's J 5-inch guns, while his ship received 70 per cent, of the hits from the Span? ish ships. Capt. Lemly's cross exam? ination was very searching. Admiral Schley, however, appeared to be un? ruffled throughout the examination, frankly admitting on several occasions that he could not remember little details after the lapse of three years. One line of inquiry which the judge advocate tried to press to show that Admiral Schley did not proceed "with dispatch" from Key West to Cienfne gos by attempting to contrast the speed made between Charleston and Key West with the time between Key West and Cienfeugos was curtailed by a decision of the court, which confined the questions to the time sub-sequent to^May 19, the day on which the fly? ing squadron left Key West., The \ judge advocate in his cross examina? tion dwelt upon the interview between Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley at Key West before the depar? ture of the flying squadron at which the latter testified that Admiral Samp? son instructed him not to expose his ships to shore batteries until the Spanish fleet had been destroyed, on the fact that Admiral Schley issued I no written order of battle, on the question of coaling off Cienfuegos and the steps taken there*to ascertain the presence of the Spanish fleet. He was cross examining the witness upon matters connected with the cruise of the squadron from Cienfuegos to Santiago when the court adjourned. The retrograde movement, the firing upon the Colon and the battle of San? tiago, which constitute the main fea? tures of the precept, were not touched upon today. * RACE RIOT IH LOUISIANA, Three Whites and Eleven Ne? groes Already Killed. New Orleans, Oct. 28.-The Pica? yune's Amite City special says : Three white msn and ll negroes kill? ed is the startling and terrible news ! from Washington parish tonight, j Your correspondent has just conversed j with a man from Franklinton and he I confirms the above information, but he knew nothing of what has happen? ed since yesterday evening. The first news of the race riot was brought here today by Corneli is Mixon, who, with his mother, left from near Franklinton this morning. He stated that white men rode into Franklinton at 2 o'clock this morning asking for help, saying that the negroes were up in arms threatening to exterminate the whites. The scene of the trouble is at or near Balltown, where a negro was bnrned last week for criminally as? saulting a white ?vornan. This was not the cause, however, of the murders yesterday, in which three white men and ll negroes wore killed and several wounded. Mr. Mixon saw and talked with many men from the scene and they said that worse trouble was ex? pected today as a:rmed men were flock? ing to the scene and it was reported the blacks were equally active in pre? paring for a battle. "P. B. Carter arrived from Frank iinton tonight after dark and told your correspondent that the situation was terrible and that trouble is feared. He said Joe Seals and Charles Elliott and another white man whose name he did not know, were dead and E.* H. Thompson, a white man, wounded, and ll negroes were dead. His in? formation was up to last night and was obtained from people who went to Franklinton for help. At 3 o'clock this morning a posse left Franklinton for the scene in charge of SherifffSim mons, and from all over the country armed men were hurrying to the same place. Mr. Carter said that probably 500 men were under arms today in Washington parish. The trouble oc currd at a negro camp meeting and the origin as near as can be ascertained was as follows : "Creer Lott, a nergo, was running a refreshment stand and a constable, a white man, name not given, went to him and asked for his license. He had none and became impudent, cursed the constable and defied him. The consta? ble withdrew and obtained assistance. He returned with several white men when the negro LDtt rushed out and fired pointblank into the crowd, kill? ing Joe Seals and Charles Elliott. The whites returned the fire and kill? ed Lott. Then a negro preaeher|named Connelly rushed oat of a house with gun in hand, attempting to shoot, when he was killed. His daughter also was killed, it is said, accidental? ly. In the shooting which followed another white man was killed and E. H. Thompson wounded, and seven or eight negroes killed. The shooting had no direct connection with the burning of the negro Morris in that section last week but it is undoubted? ly a sequel to that tragic event. Since that time it is reported that the negroes have been balding nightly meetings, preparing to attack the whites. Balltown is about 20 miles from Franklinton in a sparsely settled sec? tion. It is isolated and almost entire? ly cut off from the outside world. Franklinton is 277 miles east of this place and there are no telegraph or telephone lines. FAKE STORY FROM NEW YORK. Granddaughter of Gen. Hampton Said to bo Starving. Columbia, Oct. 28.-A senational and remarkable story seems to be on tap in New York. The story that is offered is about a "starving grand? daughter of Wade Hampton in New York." The story is offered by some newspaper men in New York. Inquiry here developes these facts: Gen. Hampton has no grand-daughter in New York. All of the grand-daughters he has are fortunately well provided for and are in good circumstances. So far as every grand-daughter of Gen. Hampton is concerned it is a fake. : His eldest grand-daughter is the daughter of Col. John C. Haskell and is happily married to Mr. Frank Lindsey, of Roanoke, Va., where they live. Mr. McDuffie Hampton, of Co? lumbia, has three Lttle girls, all liv? ing here. Mr. Arthur Hampton, who is in the treasury service and is sta? tioned in Maine, h?.s a little girl. The only other Hampton is the widow of Wade Hampton, Jr., who survives her husband. Mrs. Wale Hampton, Jr., was a daughter cf Judge Phelan. There are no children of Wade Hamp? ton, Jr. Mrs. Wade Hampton has ? been doing literary work in Washing- j ton and New York. There are no grand-daughters in New York.

Will Build Up the Republican Party in This State. j Columbia, October 25.-Dr. V. P. Clayton, who was in the city today, makes the following statement in ref? erence to the appointment of Mr. George R. Koester as internal revenue collector : "The appointment of is a novel de? parture, but we have unusual condi? tions to deal with and I am taking an optimistic view of the situation. To my mind .the great desideratum here is a Republican party directed and controlled by patriotic, conservative and intelligent white men, at least the equals in all respects of the dominant influences in the Democratic party, and as a preliminary to the oragniza tion of such a party it seems neces? sary to annihilate, the old Republican machine which for a generation has been a reproach to the national party and a cancerous sore on the body politic of this state. "This machine has heretofore drawn : its chief support from the collector's patronage, which has been used for the sole purpose of controlling delega? tions to the national conventions and loading the votes for spot cash or the promise bf patronage. Mr. Koester will certainly have a free hand to re? turn to merited obscurity the class of men who have manipulated the machine, and if he does this and pav? es the way for others to build on form? er foundations he will merit the ' well done of all good men', and the wisdom of the President in making the ap? pointment will be apparent. Personally I feel no grievance at the appointment. I was never in any sense a volunteer candidate, and only consented to allow the use of my name iin that connection with the distinct understanding that if appointed it ! must come as the best solution of a I difficult situation. The responsibility was the President's. He has acted with great deliberation, with the manifest,purpose to do the best thing possible, and I sincerely hope good results will follow." % By-Products of *he Coke Oven. "In a coal like the Connellsville coking coal, containing from 29 per cent, to 35 per cant, of volatile mat? ter, there is from 8,000 to a little over 9,000 cubic feet of gas per short ton. On this basis the 30,000,000 tons of coal coked in the United States last vear would produce more than 250,000,000,000 cubic feet of eas," ac? cording to the Engineering Magazine. "Allowing-one-half of this production for consumption in the oven, we have remaining over 120,000,000,000 cubic feet, or about one-half the annual nat? ural gas production during the height of that excitement. To convert this fuel gas into illuminating gas in? volves a change in the operation of the oven, so that gas produced with the recuperation air and gas may be burned in the flues instead of the rich coke-oven gas. Ammonia, that is ammonia sulphate, is the most valua? ble of the by-products of cokemaking, ? it having a market value of about $20 per ton. The yield of this by-pro j duct from each ton of coal coked is about twenty pounds, or a total vield 1 of over 300,000 tons for the 30,00*0,000 tons of coal coked last year, which would make the value of this bv-pro duct over $6,000,000. The yield of tar ! is about sixty pounds per ton of coal coked. By-product tar is superior to j tar that comes from the gas works. It contains a less amount of pitch, and its fuel value is about $5 per ton, which would give a value of nearly $5,000,000 for this product from the j coal consumed in coking last year, j In their primary state the combined j by-products of cokemaking have a j value of close to $1 for each ton of j coal coked. After passing through the | complex processes of modern chemis- j try, these have a much greater value." I HORACE HALE DEAD. Denver, Col., Oct. 25.-Horace Morrison Hale, president of the Uni? versity of Colorado, who died today, was born at Hillis, N. H., March 6, 1833, of old revolutionary stock. After graduating at Union college, Sche? nectady, N. Y., he adopted the profes? sion of teaching. JHe came to Colo? rado in 1863 and served two terms as territorial superintendent of instruc? tion before he became president of the University of Colorado. The de? gree of LL. D. was conferred upon him by the Ohio Wesleyan University in recognition of his distinguished career as an educator. GREW ON JACKSON'S GRAVE. Richmond, Va., Oct. 26.-Dr. J. J. Lafferty, editor of the Christian ad? vocate, has in his possession one of the strangest of canes. . It was made from a sappling that fed on Stonewall Jackson's body. . At the time of the burial of Jackson some one set out a mere twig upon the grave. It grew in time to be a sap pling several inches in diameter. Friends of the Jackson family de? plored the fact that a bush had ever been allowed to grow there and Mrs. Jackson had it removed. The men found that the root of the sappling had found its way into the plain wooden coffin of the soldier and had twined itself about his skelton, lt was taken up and a cane was made of a part of it. This cane was artistically carved and given to Dr. Lafferty. Sigerist, a foot-ball player, in Co? lumbia, Ohio, had his neck broken on Saturday and cannot recover.

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 27.-A despe? rate man fought his way clear of two city detectives here today and after a thrilling chase made his escape. In his race for liberty he utilized a two horse wagon team, a horse and buggy and a riding horse, all forcibly taken, while two dead bloodhounds mark the first portion of his trail. Officers believe the man is one of the gang that held up the great northern express near V/agner, Mont., last June, his attempt to get change for a> $20 bill of the series secured in that robbery attracting attention of the po? lice to him. This morning a raw-boned man about five feet ten inches high, with florid complexion, offered the bill in payment of a small purchase made in a storehouse on the public square. Difficulty in making the change caused the salesman to closely notice the bill which proved to be on the Montana bank. The police were quietly noti? fied, the clerk meanwhile delaying the matter of change. Detectives Dwyer and Dickens were soon on hand and approaching the man demanded his name. "Ferguson" was the reply and after another question or two Detective Dwyer informed the man he was un? der arrest. Quick as a flash Ferguson had a revolver in each band and start? ed for the door. A hand to hand fight ensued, both officers grappling with the stranger who proved" more than a match for them. Using his pistols as clubs he fought his way to the door and fled down the street. A passing ice wagon caught- his at? tention and the three nergo occupants were soon out of his way. Then at a fire engine clip the wagon was headed acro.\- the Cumberland river bridge int? t?ast Nashville, a fussilade of she ts following it. O i r Woodland street went the flying tear. Lr* a sudden turn into First stree 1 '?* >ught it to grief. One of the horses iv 'I and broke his leg, but the fugitive was not to be delayed. Run? ning across First street he held up an old negro who was driving by in a buggy and the flight continued. Out into the commons he sped. Once the buggy overturned but was quickly righted. Finally the tired horse was abandoned and after a drive into Shelby park on foot the supposed bandit secured another horse hitched at a point near tue park. Then after a sensational ride the horse was left and the flight continued on foot. Further out pursuers found two of their bloodhounds shot to death a short distance apart and after that trace of the man was lost. The sheriff with a large posse is out tonight scouring the country for the missing man. When the buggy was abandoned the man threw away a- wal? let containing $1.040 in ten and twenty dollar bills of the Montana bank. The money was recovered by Chief of Police Curran. Si00,300 STOLEN BY ROBBERS. Berea, O., Oct. 26.-One of the boldest safe robberies ever perpetrated in this vicinity occurred at an early hour this morning in almost the heart of the village. The hardware store of Lawrence &, Brightman was entered, the large safe was wrecked and the robbers made good their es? cape, carrying with them booty aggre? gating in amount more than $100,000. Baldwin University bears the heav? iest loss. C. C. Brightman, the junior member of the firm, is also the treasurer and a trustee of Baldwin university? and all of the available papers of the institution which were left in Brightman's custody were kept in the safe. Bonds, deeds, notes and mortgages of the university aggregating $100,000 in value were secured by the robbers. Many of the notes held by Baldwin university were of long stand? ing and bore numerous endorsements, making it impossible to produce them in duplicate. A diligent search for the thieves has been instituted but as yet no clew as to their wherabouts or identity has been established. A fact regarded as most singular is that the explosion of the safe was heard by parties residing a half mile north and more than that distance southwest of the centre of the town, fahile those residing in the business district were unaware that an explo? sion had occurred. The force of the explosion was most terrific. The safe was constructed on fire and burglar-proof principles, yet the heavy doors were twisted from their hinges as if made of paper, and large pieces of the safe doors were imbedded in the walls of the building, one section weighing 50 pounds being blown clear through a board parti? tion into an adjoining room. Six men are believed to have been engaged in the affair. Report of Dr. Rixey on Illness and Death of McKinley. Washington, Oct. 26.-4In the line of duty, while receiving the people was shot by Leon F. Czolgosz" is the official statement filed with the sur? geon general of the navy by Dr. P. M. Rixey, medical inspector, U. S. N., as the introduction for his report upon the wounding, illness and death of the late President McKinley. The cause of death is thus stated : "Gangrene of both walls of stomach and pancreas, following gunshot wound. ' ' The report itself is remarkable for its exhibition in the closest possible detail of the exact state of the patient during his mortal illness. It is the shape of a ship's log almost, showing at intervals of a very few minutes, sometimes a single minute, rarely more than hour, the patient's progress towards the* end. But perhaps the most valuable data contained from a medical point of view is the accurate registering of the medication of the case -not a single morsel of food nor a dose of medicine, or a bath is omit? ted in this account. Included in the running story at the proper intervals are the bulletins which were given to the public as the case progressed. The census reports show that the trend of the negro population is to? ward the large northern cities. TURNIP SEED, Onion Sets-leading varieties. Also assortment of Garden Seeds.
