DUN'S REVIEW.
Au Account of Trade and Busi
ness the Past Week.
New York, Jau. 25-Rarely has
there been more business staples
and manufactures at principally
unchanged prices than during the
period since Nov. 1st. This week
seems to have marked the climax
of euormouB dealings a* figures
which have become familiar.
There was a heavy trade in pig
iron at better prices, and a large
distribution of dry goods at a finn-]
er range bf quotations, aud a rush J
to secur? prompt delivery in boots
and shoes. All things indicate
hat busiuess may have escaped
one of these weary readjustments!
of prices which proved so tryiugj
of recent years.
The jobbing trade in the inte-;
rior is good. Collections continue
excellent. Bank clearings of the
leading cities have increased.
Railroad ?am mgs show gain. The
iron aud steel industry is steady
bnt manufacturers cousider freight j
rates to the sea coast excessive.
Leather is irregular in demand.
Hides in Chicago has fluctuated
wildly. Wood has decliued this
week. Cotton has maintained its
recent advance.
The money situation is excel
lent. Grain in the northwe.t is
inactive and stocks less active.

The Townes Suit Has Keen Set?
tied.
The Townes case was settled to?
day. The city pays $10,000" to
Willis G. Townes, of New York,
and Dr Henry H. Townes, of South
Carolina. The payment is to be
made when such a judgment has
beeu handed down xrom the South
Carolina courts as the City shall
direct.
The Townes case-the suit was
brought inTS94-as set out in the.
complaint, was that some twelve
or fifteen years prior the Augusta
canal companv-the Augusta canal J
company and the city are now all
the same-unlawfully and without
the consent of the plaintiffs, caus
ed to be built adam across the Sa
vannah river, and upon their said
ands, and did wrongfully dig up
the same and make large excava
tions thereon and built thereou a
tone dam ; that said dam being
built across said river caused tLe
water therein to ba backed up and
raised far above its level in the
natural flow of said stream, and
thereby causod a large portion of |
the plaintiff's said tract of land,
which lies next to and adjacent to
said river, aud which was formerly
cultivated, to become so sobbed
and saturated by said backwater]
as to be unfit for agricultural pur
poses, and the plaintiffs further)
charged that the back water caus
ed in the said river by the erec
tion of the said dam, has caused fri
considerable portiou of their Baid
tract of land to be overflowed aad
reudered useless and thereby and
on account of the said sobbing and
overflowing of said lands deprived
the plaintiffs the use of same.
OVERTURES FOR SETTLEMENT.
Recently overtures for a settle
ment wore made. The city was
not averse to this, nor were the
plaintiffs. The canal dam de
mands $15,000 of repairs. The
last mistrial came with nine votes
against the city. If the plaintiffs
won the city was confronted with
continuous damage suits. Else]
the dam must be moved. To move
the dam would cost $40,000. Even
then the damage suits were not en
tirely wiped out, for the Townes
property claims islands in and up
tbe stream that might be overflow
ed by a new dam.
Th* city has spent between $3,
000 and $5,000 in the litigation.
It was' unwilling to make neces
sary repairs to the dam while the
litigation was pouding, and the
dam must have the repairs. It was
: ! concluded to settle the action for
the sum named, and the negotia
tions to that end were closed up
to-day, W. H. Barrett, Esq., city
attorney, representing the city.

BAY STA'
THIS COUNTRY'S ARID AREA
It is Larger Than the Domain of
Some of the Nations of Earth.
The arid region of this couutry
is larger than the entire area of
some of the nations of the earth.
It includes portions of Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada,
Arizona and New Mexico, and'
smaller portious of North and
South Dakota, Nevada. Kansas
and Texas, hundreds of thousands
of acree in California, two-thirds
of Oregon, one-third of Washing
ton, and almost all of Idaho
altogether a total of over a million
square miles, enough, in fact, to
accommodate one-half the people
of the United States when the
land ia made productive.
To allow all this splendid
couutry to go to waste would be
contrary to the spirit of a practical
nation.
All this arid land needs is irriga
tion. Already a large part of it
has been converted to fertility by
the artificial supply of water.
Gradually and strongly the experts
of the government have urged
upon cong *ess a policy of assistance
which will convert many of these
acres into fertile fields. In this
way the suggestion has come that
to the river and harbor bill there
shall he- added a provision for
storage reservoirs in the Far West.
If it should be done land thut is
uow of no practical value would
soon be worth ten or twenty dol
lars an acre, and thus it happens
that far Western influences are
openls in favor of the proposition.
Something like five millions of
dollars is the first suggestion in
the way of the new departure.
LIEUT TOTTEN PROPHESIES
England, Germany and America,
he Says, will Unite for Peace.
New Haven, Conn, January 25.
"The twentieth century will see
the reunion of Israel and Judah
into one house aud the fraternity
of that house with Assyria and
Egypt, which triad God hath
blessed. These three are England,
Germany and America. Their
reunion with Judah settled at the
central land will assure the world
of peace throughout a golden age."
Thus prophesies Lieut C. A. L.
Totten, formerly professor of
military science at Yale. Prof
Totteu's prophetic writings have
made him well known. Continu
ing he says i u part :
"Qneen Victoria's reign is the
chronological counterpart of that
of David. The emplacement of the
date of the Queen's death and of
the new King's accession upou the
scroll of chronicles of Israel's
monarchs is significant."
In elucidation of this Prof
Totten quotes Biblical chronology,
and adds:
"He whose right it is to reign
without end will soon assume the
everlasting sway. We are now in
a new atmosphere, and we doubt
not that events will speed along to
tremendous consummation at an
accelerated rale. Victoria's reign
was mathematically perfect, both
square and round (64 yeare.) Thie
ie eight by eight, the square of the
number, always indicative of that
which is 'rjew,' and two to the
sixth power, which is hexagonal
and with the radius measures the
circle. Victoria rou tide thc.
measure of the past and auotbei
measure ai d measure are at hand
The fact is, we live in tremendouf
days at the borderland of -vas!

SUPPOSED DEAD MAN
CAUSES A SENSATION.
The Body About to be Put Away
When Charles Crawford Sat
Up and Bejran Talking.
Vew York. Jan. 22-Charles
Crawford, a negro, who tried to
kil1 his wife, and then shot him
sell ;n th^ Ieruple, was taken to
the St. Nicholas hospital in Ne
wark, on Saturday uight.
At the hospital door the ambu
lance iriver told the sister in
charge that he nelieved the t man
wasde&d. There was no physician
at the hospital at the time, and it
is crowdtd with cabes. The sister
stepped ii to the ambulance, con
vinced herself that the patient
was dead, and told the driver to
take the body to the morgue. The
driver did FO, and the body was
placed ou a ruller el ak at Mull in's
morgue to be pin away.
Joseph Murphy, an assistant at
the morgue, examined the bjdy be
'fore it could be placed in the mor
gue building, and found the man
was breathing. In a few minutes
Crawford sat up and utl.ered some
words. He was immediately driven
back to the hospital and placed on
a cot. Crawford was alive last
night. The surgeon? probed for
the bullet, but could not find it.
Crawford .lived with his wife,
Sarah, at No. 232 Central avenue.
They disagreed about, money mat
ters, and Crawford was jealous of
the woman, who is an octoroon.
The quarrel occured in their apart
ments. The other tenants of the
house heard a pistol shot, and then
saw Mrs Crawford run down the
stairs with b^ood on her face. The
bullet struck the woman near the
right temple, and ploughed a fur
row aloug her forehead without
injuring the skull. A second shot
was heard in the room, and a po
liceman found Crawford lying in
sensible across a bed, with a
wound in his head and a cheap
pistol clutched in his right hand.
Mrs Crawford was treated at the
city hospital, and returned to her
rooms yesterday.

A Brief Story of The Exposition,
Its Grounds And Buildings.
The South Caroliua Inter-State
and West Indian Exposition will
open iu tho City of Charleston,
S. C., December 1,1901, and close
June 1,1902. The Exposition
Company has been chartered by
the State of South Carolina, with
a capital Btock of $250,00. Active
work upon the Exposition project
has only been in progre-s since
about the first of last, mountb
and what has been accomplish
ed in the.period that has elaps
ed since then is without parallel
in the history of exposition
building. The site of the Ex
position will be on the
eastern bank of the Ashley Iii ve]
within a mile and a ho If of th?
business centre of the City oi
Charleston. Tho grouuds ar?
beautifully situated, and will lnuc
theuisnlves to tho most artistic
treatment. Ono half of the groundi
will be devoted to the Main Ex
position Buildings, the Midway
ConceB ions and the Administra
t ion offices of the great show. Tin
remaiuiug part of the gnuuds wil
preserve their present great natura
beauty, and will be devoted to th<
buildings and exhibits made b;
the Government and the severa
States of the Union, which wii
take part in the Exposition.' Som
description of the anhitectura
features of rho Fair will be of
meral public iu'erest.
The Exposition grounds are
divided into two main sections,
one consisting of the old Washing
ton Race Course property and the
other of the Wagener farm, for
merly the Lowndes place. The
Architect-in-Cbief has adopted the
general plan of developing the
Race Course proper on purely con
structive lines and of preserving
as far as possible the natural
beauty of the Wagoner place. The
Race Course property has boen
employed for years for purely
agricultural purposes, no races of
.any importance having been given
there since the War between the
States. This part of the grounds
is entirely level. No better site,
in the opinion of expert artiste
and builders, could be found.
About 22 acres have been reserved
on this part of the grounds for the
Midway Concessions. The main
Exposition buildings surround
a grand court at the western ex
tremity of the old Race Course.
This .will be in bhape someth
ing lake an elongated hoseeboe,
with the Cotton Palace, or main
Exposition building, occupying
the toe of the shoe, with the Com
merce Palace and the Agricultural
Palana occupying respectively the
two sides of the shoe. * These
buildiug8, with their connecting
colonnades, will extend fora dist
ance of about one mile. Within
the horse-shoe there will be a
Suuken Garden covering several
acres, with a lake in the center.
A wide esplanade or Alameda about
60 feet iu width will surround this
garden.
At the northern eud of the
garden there will bf? a grand Plaza
from which a spleudid view will
be obtained of the main Exposi
tion buildings. The vistas open
ing out fr>m this point through
groves of palmetto trees which will
line the outer edges of the walks
around the Garden will extend for
a distance of 2,000 feet. Just
north of the grand Plaza will stand
the Auditorium building, directly
opposite the Cotton Palace, from
which a view may. bo obtained of
the entire Court of Palaces, with 1
the Sunken Garden, and its trees
and flowers and tho sloping banks
which surround it. Each of the ,
Exposition buildings will be 400
feet in length, with an avfrage
width of 100 feet, and, as already
stated, will be counected by
colonnades, the construction be
ing such that the colonnades can
be used for exhibits.
Among the special attractions
of the Court of Palaces will be
fountains and bits of statuary i
and handsomely designed columns
of the Spanish type, all contribut
ion to the beauty of the scene.
At one end of the Sunken Garden J
a music stand will be erected, and ,
at the other end a pergola or lattice j
work screen, against which will '?
grow during the Exposition period,
the most beautiful of tropical .
vines. In the centre of the Plaza 1
there will bea sun-dial ten feat in
height a ucl thirty feet in diameter. 1
Which ever way the eye looks,
there will be visions of beauty.
Toward the south, the great Cpurt s
of Palaces, toward the east, the 1
towers at the entrance to tho
Midway, and looking across the
entrance way the groves and
minarets of the Wagener place.
The main Exposition buildings
will be the Cotton Palace, the
Commerce i alace the Agricultural
Palace, the Miuing and Forestry
Building, the Auditorium, the
Administration Buildiug, the Ma
chinery and Transportation Build
ings, and other structures devoted
to railroad exhibits, to restaurant
purposes and to public comfort.
Besides all these there will stand
on the Wagoner place the Uuited
States Government Building, the
Woman's Building, the several
State ard City Buildings and the
Negro Department.
The Cotton Palace will be the
most imposing of the Exposition
buildings. It will cover upwarsd
of 50,000 feet of floor space, will be
550 feet in length and at least 100
in width. One of the features of
thi? building will be amaguificent
portico, In theceuterof the build
ing will rise an imposing dome to
a height of more than 150 feet. In
this buildiug will be displayed the
products of the cotton mills of the
country, aud, as South Carolina is
the leading cotton manufacturing
State of the South and the second
cotton manufacturing State of the
Uuion, it is expected that the dis
play in this building will be the
most complete and attractive that
has ever beeu made.
The palaces of Agriculture and
Commerce will each contaiu about
40,000 square feet of floor area, in
addition to their connecting ar
cades which will contain in all
about 20,000 square feet. Each of
these buildings will hav? a central
dome and smaller turrets at tho
corners, emphasizing the entrance
to these as well as the ceuter pedi
ment?. The iuierior of these build
ings has been particularly design
ed for both effective and artistic
treatment and practical utility.
The windows in all of these will
be carried at least eight feet above
the floor, the roof trusses being
sonstructed upon the cantilever
principle, thus avoiding the usual
massing of unsightly wooden
framework and emphasizing the
graceful lines of arches and circles,
starting from the,principal domes
iud carried through the wings and
approaches.
The Administration Building is
jf most attractive design and will
be occupied by the officers and
staff of the Exposition. The Archi
tect has departed widely from the
usual style in designing this struc
ture. The principal Exposition
entrances and exits have been
;ombined with it. The central
lome of this building will bo about
?eventy-five feet in height and each
(ving will be flanked by other tow
ers of lesser height but equally ar
tistic design. In harmony with
the Spanish Renaissance type,
which will prevail throughout the
Exposition architecture, the build
ing will be covered with a wide
over-hanging roof of corrugated
Spanish tiles. At the cenire a
wide balcony or porch will project
boldly into the grounds. Inside
the central dome, which will be
three stories in height, a richly
decorated colonade will support
the overhanging gallery.
The Mineral and Forestry Build
ing will contain between twenty
and thirty thousand feet of floor
apace. This building will stand
directly opposite the Administra
tion building. It will be circular
in form, with flanking towers. The
interior will be open from the
ground to the rafters and the ex
terior effects of strength and solid
ity will be gained by huge masses
of walls, the enrichment of this
structure being secured by special
ornamentation of its principal and
Bide entrances. The windows of
this building will bo high above
the floor line and the whole effect
of light and shade will be gained
by overhanging wide cornices ;
rhe Spanish Renaissance and the
Spanish Mission type of architec
ture, as exemplified in Southern
California and in Texas, being
combined ina most effective way.
All of the main Exposition
buildings will be connected in the
l? ge circle surrounding the Court
of Palaces.
