Says Once A. Week: "The Soutti no v

raw material?it now turns thousands of

fts&LV bushels of corn and wheat, instead of

ceti much of iron, in all |j
forms, for homo consumption, and j!
Southern forests are being turned into c
furniture, wagons, agricultural imple- v
monts, etc., in home factories. All this ^
tends to decrease the volume of railway j
traffic, but It certainly increases the i<
prosperity and self-reliance of the South. J
Railways in some of the newer Northern ?
States have sutlered from similar causes, J
but the communities forged ahead all ^
the same. It docs no barm once in j

According to trie Textile Manufacture n

were cotton, forty-nino woolen, ninety*
three knitting and twenty-ono silk mills,

other branches, In cotton Massachu- '
setts levls with nineteen new mills. 8

North Carolina lollows with sixteea sad f
South Carolina stands third with eleven. I*
Illinois and Indiana boast of only one
each. In woolen, also, Massachusetts
i* tends with eight new mills, Maine follows ?
with seven and Pennsylvania with six. 1
But Maine stands first and Pennsylvania
second in number of hands employed. ,
In knitting Pennsylvania leads with f
thirty-two mills, and New York follows f

nnd the caller s'nggering along the hall
with his hnud to lus h ad and blood flowing
down .his fnce. The pistol was

wounded raau wns tak< n to a room adjoining
No. 0. Th-i police wire notified
nnd a d .ctor nnd Ambulance were summoned.
Polic. ni ili McQowan renponded
to the call and took the blnck-whiskcrcd
man nnd his gray-headed companion to
Police Headquarters. The ouc with
black hair and wiskcra gave his name ns
Ira Hogshead of Greenville, 8. C , nnd
said that the elder :nnn wns his fatherin-law,
Kphrnim Cassle, and thnt h<-, too,
lived iu Greenville. They told their
story ns follows:
"We had been having a correspondence
with a man iu New York city who
gave his name ns James Mansfield, nnd
he offered to sell us $1,000 worth of
counterfeit money, which could not he
idcntifii d ns counterfeit, for $100, nnd
we mnde arrangements to meet him here.
When w? left Greenville we telegraphed
him that we hnd st-irtcd, nnd when we
reached PhiUdclpliia on Saturday we
telegraphed him aguiu. Our insti notions
were to go to the New York Ilotcl,
Poughkoepsie, and meet a man to take
us to New Y-ork. We came up on the
West Shore road to Newburgli, and then
crossed by boat to the Hudron River
Railroad, and arrived here at 10 o'clock.
We went to the New York Hotel and got
a room. We had been in ifr nhnn* li?tf
an hour when the agent of the man we
had been corresponding with entered.
"I was lying on the bed, resting,"
said llogfehead, "and we had a talk nbout
g??ug ty flowman whoJ
c?mo tojMiKS^utod uato go, but we
were no Vr&ra?ull night, aud we didn't 1
care to go to. Netr York to stay over
night. He wanted my father-in-law to
give hlin some money to buy the tickets
with, and wo did give him |5, but ho
afterward gave It back. Then the talk
continued, and liia manner and talk were
such that I considered my life in danger,
and I shot bim, thinking he was going
to murder and rob us."
When tho two men were searched at
Police Headquarters Hogshead had $176
concealed in his clothing and Csssle had
$146 concealed about bis person. The
revolver used was a British bulldog, 88calibre,
and belonged to Csssle, but Hogshead
bad it in his valife and took it from
tho valise to shoot his victim. Hogshead
said that they had brought it along,
thinking they might want to use it.
The wounded man was shot in the nese
at the corner of the right eye. He was

soon afterward became delirious. lie
was promptly admitted to Vassnr Hos
Eital, but before he wns taken thither Dr.
i oe attended to the wound and went
with Irm in a carriage to 1hc hospital.
After he had been there n short time he
was able to talk, but would not answer
any questions until Chief McCabc and
Chief Humphrey arrived. Then lie said
his name was George Appo, nud that he
lived in New York, but he would not
aay where he lived in that city.
"They tell me I am shot," he said.
"Am IT"
lie was told that he was. lie then
said
"The man must be crazy to shoot rac."
He then told the Chief that he wanted
word sent to Lena Milter, 111 Sixty fir<t
street, New York, second fl or, h's wife.
He said that he was in this city to visit
a skater and that he had become intoxi
cated. He said he had no grcon goods,

Chief Humphrey identified Appo na a
notorious crook. He has been here several
times, and last spring was ordered
out of the Nelson House as a suspicion
character. His father is the notorious
Quitnbo Appo, now doing time in Sing
Sing prison. Chief Humphrey says thnt
Appo came here on Saturday night and
registered at the New York Hotel.
Old man Cassle says that when Hogshead
shot Appo the latter was sitting at
the foot of the bed on a chair, ai d (logshead
was sitting on the I ed wi h an
open valise alongside of him, and that
Hogshead reached over into the valise
and got the pistol.
After Cassle and Hogshead had been
placed in a cell down stairs at Police
Headquarters Chief McCabe went down
there f or somcthinir and found Cassia on
hta knees in^MeK.^wLdgeh ad was also
on his knees Alongside of the old man,
with his face bu-ied in his hands.
A dispatch has been sant to Mrs. Lena
Miller informing hei of the shooting. A
preliminary examination will be held in
.he case tomorrow. Coroner Frost en
dsavored to get Appo to make an antc
mortem statement tnat afternoon, but he
would not. At this time he is delirious
Dr. Lane has not probed for the ball,
but he believe* it t<yk a downward
course. *
Appo is the son of the dwarf Chinese
murderer, Quimbo A|u>o, by an Irish
woman, Cathejrlniy rit/.jwitrick. Tin
father waa in prison many tlmo\ alwn\*

up for life for murdering Kelly, he revred
ten years [for stabbing to death Mary

?The grand old man was in admirable

From early morning.the scene in the

animated one. The crowd increased in
numbers os the hours passed by. It included

interested themselves in closely inspect

he was closely followed by D.ivic

was packed with members and the approaches
well crowded. Upon the
opening of the doors there was a di?or

years of age, was knocked down and
trampled on before rescue i by John
Burns, the vigorous Labor representative.
Tho melee fettled down at last and al'
got safely to their scats. Every sent in
the House except the government bench
was occupied.
The struggle for seats produced the
oddest mixture of members. Tho scating
capacity of the House is entirely t?.c

Dear Brethren:?I am reliably informed
thut an attempt will
be trade in the near future to divide
the Alliance on sectional lines. The appeal
is to be made to tae South alone,and
will be made on what is known as a
non-parti an issue. I ant not posted on
the det ils.but know that that is the gen(Jon
lixepuration for this has hem
made, and is being fostered l?y trying to
* * A l> - *?r . _ ?nuttr mv tnv
factions In the A'linnc; on the ouestion
of non-parti-anship; that the domina-t
faction are in favor of tiyiug to coerce
the Alliance into endorsing the People's
pattv, etc This is not only unfair, but
absolutely untrue. I defy any one to
point to the record nrd show where any
such attempt cv r was made at any session
of supreme council either by speech or
reso ution, or to any prominent A1Hnnccmnn
who fators it. If there tver
was a thing on which we was more
firmly united 11 an a-other, it is that
the Alliance should remain ''non partisan.''
This is t o sentiment, I am
Mire, of every one of the present olliceis.
I know it is of the executive committee.
The movement is bjing engineered by
those who arc Democrats first. It is a
partisan move for the pur, o c of destroying
tho power of the Alliance by
dividing tn once more ons'cliocal lints
I want you to seriously consider the
effect in ease tbcv are successful to any
great extent. I know they cannot he
wholly, for I know there are a host of
tiuc Allium: men in the Sou h who will
resent the attempt. To those who are
about to bj influence I by th's partisan
movement, 1 beg of you to consider well
the cons- qucnces that would follow if it
were successful. You k-ow how c tncstly
your represeutat v s plead with us
to bury the bloody shirt; to till up tho
ghastly eh sm that divides us; t? obliterate
thc'scctional barriers that had kept
us apart for thirty years, leaving us an
easy prey to our common euemv, tlie
money power.
The grandest work, the crowning glory
of I)rother Polk's life, was tho success of
his mission in reuniting us. When he I

with the message from tho brethren in |

us to uuits with you, we accepted, un'.LMVJUiftuaHjf

Our opponents in the North clamed
nnil insist-d that the objects of the
Southern Aliinnc, ns they called the
P. A. and I. U., was to mi-lead the
Northern Alliancemen away from their
licpublican moorings that the Deiuoc
atic party might come into power.
We know that in our work we prcssc 1
our principles regardless of the effect on
political parties, but the result has been
to the advantage of tlrr Dcmocra'ic party
as predicted. Should the present scheme
I of disruption succeed, it would confirm
the claim that was their object. Cona
der this well, as it affects yourselves.
You need the aid of your co-laborers in
the Noith and West. We have had not
only to meet the contention that we arc
a '"Democratic aid society," but that it
was a Southern Alliance, officered and
managed by 8. uthern men. We re
sen'ed the insinuation, knowing well that
it had been a question of titness for
office, and not of location. Now, when
the hand of death has removed him
whom we delighted to honor and a man
from the Northwest happens to b; elected
your president, shou'd division come it
will place us in a doubly embarrassing
posit ons. Cod knows, and your dele

eflort to'sccurc the place. I asked III other
Ellington, of Georgia, who placed me in
nomination to withdraw my name. lie
and other delegates from tlic South insisted
that I should rot. In de'crencc
to their wishes I accepted. Should the
blighted ambition of one man, or of a
thousand men, shatter our forces and
stny our progress? God forbid. The
meu who are attempting it are committing
a crime against humanity. Close
up the ranks, we are in the fight to win.
Men are nothing, the cause we love is
everything.
Yours fraternally,
H. Ij. Looms.
To Purchase Temple Farm.
Washington, I). C.--I11 the Senate
the bill appropriating $100,000 for the
purchase of Temple farm at York town,

A desire was expressed by Mr. Cockerel!
that the 8- nator fiom Vermont
would at ronic time look into the questi<

He was informed by Mr. Daniel, who

c munittcc on public building* and
ground*, that the va'uc of the lan I for
