THE FARMERS COLLEGF. C7GLEMSON'S TRUSTEES HOLD THEIR ANNUAL MEETING. Officers E'ected and Cnmnttte s So'ect-d Tbe R-SIgnatton of Prof. , provements to bi M.dM-Tba Rtaah of App'i.cants for Admtssion. COLUMBIA, S. C. Jan. 14.-Governor Titlmau and Secretary of StateTindal returned yesterday from tne annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of Clemson College. The board met on Weine-day night, every member itetng present. It continued in s-esion :)t Tnursday and until late Thursday night, practically holding all night ses sions. There was a mass of business to con sider and act. upon, and the trustees preferred getting through with it te putting It off to another inetting. The board re-elected Co!. R. W. Simpson chairman and Dr. P. H. E. Sloan sec retary ani tre:surer. The following executive cortui te composed of men who live nearest the institution was elected: Col. RL. W Simpson, D K. Norris, Col. R. E Bow en, Hon M. L. Donoldson and Col. D. F Bradley. - The committee in charge of the fer tilizer department of the college is com posed of Governor Tillmnn, Secretary of State Tindal and J. E. Wannamaker The following committee on the Ex perimental Station was selected: Col, D. K. Norris, M. L. Donaldson and ('ol. R. E. Bowen. The faculty was author ized to employ two more tutors in any department if found necessary. It has been known for some time that there was little harmony between the Board or Trustees and President Craighead on one side and Prof. J. S. Newman, Professor of Agriculture on the other.. Exactly what brought aboat these strained relations is not known, as the members of the board do not care to talk on the subject. Finding that a lack of harmony in any of the departments would be detri mental to the college, the trustees re quested the'resignation of Prof. New man. The resignation was tendered as requested and was, of course, accepted. It will take effect on the 1st of Febra ary. A committee of three was ap pointed to select a suitable man to fill the vacancy. The committee will re port to the next meeting of the board, which will confirm or reject the selection as it thinks proper. Prof. Newman has been with college almost since work began on the buildings. He came to this State from the Auburn, Ala, Agricultural College, in which he held a position similar to the one at Clemson He is a valuable man and - the board knew . it, but preferred that every person connected with the insti tatioa should work together as one - man. Considerable time was given to the consideration of financial affairs. It is feared that there will be a falling of in the income this year owing to the expected small business in fertilizers. This has heretofore formed an impor - taut part of the income of the college. Nothwithstanding this prospect the board oidered several improvements to be made. The dairy is to be completed and an addition made to Mechanical Hall. This building has not been large enough and the necessity of more room was appreciated. The foundations for an addition to the hall were begun some time ago. The wing to be built is to cost about $3,100. ...~ The purchase of another dynami waraithorized. The institution now has a first class electric system in it, -bas the dynamo in use was not consid ed large enough for the demands 'ikely to be made on it. The room of every student has a twenty-canidle power incandescent light in it. The engineer of the college was ord - ered to make a survey of the Seneca River with the purpose in view of building a dike for the protection of the bottom lands of the Institution. The lands are frequently everfiowed in the Summer af ter a freshet. The dike is to be built some time this year. A track is to be built to the college from thse Air Line Railroad, whaich is over a mile away. The oobject of this spur Is to allow the haulmng of coal and other' freight to the college by cars andnot by wagons as now. The Trustees find that every depart ment Is all right and will be working smoothly when the institution opens in February. Three- or four months ago they was some trouble over the food and the cooking, or, in the student vernacular. "the hash." The "hash de partment," as the boys some times call It:, is in fine shape an Ahe boys have *had nothing to 4ia' about for a long time. Jek board give' for the unusually' low sum of $7 a month is suj ttal and palatable. A first '-iscaterer is in charge of the cook lug department and the food is pre. pared In a most wholesome manner. The Board appropriated $1,000 for a printing outfit. When this is bought the college will do most of its own printing, which now costs a good deal of money. The maximum number of students at the last session was between four and five hundred. Provision has been made for six hundred boys at the com lug session. There are, however, many more applications than there wiil be room for. The mariner in which the applicants will be admitted has been given in this paper. The following is a table by counties of the n'umber of old students who have signified their intention to return and of the number of new applications for ad mission. It is probable that about fifty more old students than the number given wit] return: County. Old Stud'ns. A&ppl'nts.

LousvrLLE, KY., JanuDary 9.-John Newton a student at Russellville. Ky, committed suicide last night. He used mo-phine. When found in his room this morning the following advance account of the tragedy, written ty himself, was discovered on the table: Jack Newton, of Cadiz Ky., .who had been attending school he-re for the. last six months, was found dead this afternoon in Dr. Harrell's of fice witha dagger in his heart. No cause is assigned for the rash act. Newton had always been considered an eccentric fellow by his fellow stud ents. He was about 20 years of age and the son of the R-:vF. M1.

Puillin has1not yet been heard from at any points As to whether he has stolen this money and does not intend to return to Ashville opinion is very much divided, with per aps a smring preponderance in his favor. Pailliman bad been iu wretched healtb,- had frequently to take morphine and carried a morphine syringe with him. His wife and friends believe his mind affected, and that he has wandered cf and perhaps been assaulted and rob - ed, It Pulhiam was a deliberate theif he comdt as well as not have taken as :much more money than be did. Thorough examination of the affairs of the bank by (ffiaiais and experts has so tar failed to develop any further shor tage.

MARIETTA, Omno, January 9.-Henry Saner, a respectable German. and is wife were murdered last night in their home near Pinchtown, four miles north and their son is missing. Their barn was burned and the house was set on fire, but the neighbors arrived in time to extinguish the blaze. Mr. and Mrs. Saner lay full length on the kitchen loor, their clothing burned from their bodies, having been saturated with oil. Neighbors put out the blaze and saved the bodies and house. The floor was covered with blood3, which ebbed from eight bullet holes mn the left side of Mrs Saner's head, and from a would caused by a heavy blow in the back of Saner's head. Niear Saner lay the barrels of the gun.- They were bent as if from I heavy blows. A visit to the fire at the barn revealed nothing except the burrnt carcasses of horses, co ws and other stock. Mfany supposed that the boy was burned in the barn, but there is nothing to warrant Ahis save his ab sence. The coroner soon arrived and Saner's pocketbook, containing $326, was found. It is b-:lieved that the entire family was murdered and that robbsry was the object. Ac a P-aical Dodge.

The men were directed to protect them, siiveS as well as possible by keepin eis to the parapet, which rff-rded some sheier except against shells bursting ov.rbead. The salient angle bacire :Ttenable, and a small squad et Com pant F, St Mattaew's Riths. was left there. The oowbardment was terrific and Grand all night. The fi.et withd:cw at the approach of darkness, as was their custom. The i:e of the Parmt uns slackened somewhat, but the iiortars kept it up ince3santly. Fou:- or ive shells could be seen to start at the same time from a battery behiad the hiu orallel, and this was frequently repeate d The shells would come lhmiing through the air like imeteots. bursting. as the enemy's gun :er seemei to desi.n they should, sometimes in the air, sometimes on the parade and sometimes on the parapet. During the night it was reported that the enemy were ad:ancing to charne our works. It was a relict to men and of ticers to belisvs that the last struggle was about to be made, and that the aw fut cannonade was about to be exchanged for musketry and a hand to hand fight with the bayonets. The enemy again die piay ed a calcium light, this time turn ing it upon our fort and lighting up the works brilliantly. Except in the shadows it was light enough to read ordinary print. To have tried the experiment, however, would have been certain death. The men kept in the shadows of the parapet and traverses. Msj. John Glov er bad command of two companies and was charged with the 'iefence of the sea lace and fiank wall outside of the sally port. SIXTH OF DECEMBER, SUNDAY. D ylight came at las', and with it th quickening of the dre from the Parrots of the enemy. The fleet came up again and joined in the bombard mnt, and it soon became as grand and trrribie as it was yesterday. The fort was going rapidly. A large detail was constantly at work, but the covered ways and entranc s to the magazines and bomb proofs coula scarcely be kept open. The entrance to the cov rred way leading into the salient was entirely closed by the sand-drifts caused by the enemy's shot and shell. M'e bombardment was a repetition of yesterday. Men fell on every side and the litter-bearers and surgeons had as much as they could do. It wes the custom to send tne wounded up to the nir y at night. Our opportunities per mitted us to remove very few of the dead from the island during the latter ays of the siege. The suffermne of the men was some what allayea by digging wells in the bomb-proofs. Tolerable wter was thus obtained, but not in sufficient quantities. . The heat was in tense and the air in the bomb-proofs became very foul and hardly supported ife. The light of tue lamps, kept con stantly burning, could hardly penetrate the gloom. The Rtev. A.. F. Dickson, sur worthy and efficient chaplain, held tie usual Sunday's religious services, Pnd the voices of the men, singing the praises of God, could be heard- amid :he screaming of solid shot and burst Eng of shells. A bout 2 o'clock I?. M4. Col. Harris and Dapt. F. D. Lee, of the engineer corps :ame down from the city to inspect the Fort and report its condition to Gen. Beauregard. They were of the opmnion that it could not be held much longer. rhe work was, in their judgment, un enable. Under the directions of Capt. Eee the damages done by the enemy's un bad beent promptly repaired till he last parallel of the besiegers w as ompleted. It was then no longer pos lble, and it was very hard to keep From being entirely buried by the sand Irifts occasioned by the bursting shells. Ehe parapet of the sailient was now mtirely gone, and the ditch in front illed for a space of af!ty feet or more. At dark the enemy's sap reached the litch at a point to the east of this fi:l. About 4 o'clock, after Col. Harris and :apt. Lee had made their report, we eeeived the order of Gen. Beauregard ;hrouh the signal corps to evacuate :he fort. The plan of evacuation had seen talked over and agreed upon by Dl. Keitt and the officers commanding egiments, in anticipation of receiving ne order. No one of us can claim for 1mself the honor of its arrangement. he order of Gen. Beauregard did not x the details, and our plans were not hanged. In the event of our failure o receive the order to evacuate, as we ould not successfully resist an assault. s we resolved to make a sortie, and grow our command upon the enemy in their last parallel. We were resolved to sell our lives as dearly as possible, mud1 have no doubt thatcur assault of the eiiemy would have been a very hon ~rable death struggle. In accordance with our plan of eva ~uatin the honor of covering the re treat fell to the 25th S. C. V. With a part of that regiment I was to cover the retreat of 'ail the troops from the fort, except a small detail under Capt. Eluguenid, who were to be left to blo w ip the magazines and tire the last gun. a the approach of night the Wee Nee Volunteers and Beauregard Light in Fantry were ordered to march in from the Sand Hills. This, no doubt, creat ?d the impression on the enemy that Fresh troops were coating in to relieve the worn out garrison. At dusk Capt. rawford, with the 28th Georgia, noved out of the fort. This regiment ook with it a 12-pounder howitzer, to me used, if occasion required, by the f7h Georgia in covering the emrmarka tion of the troops at Cumusmg's Point. Ihis duty, at the request of .Major lardner, had been assigned to the 27th. . breast work had been hastily thro wn icross the island not far above BS-ttery regg, where a stand was to be madte n-the event of the enemy's overwhelm rig my commnd, and following the re treating column. Our guns had been tilent for thirty-six hours. It had bie ome impossible, as I have already taid, to use the few guns which had rnot seen dismounted by the enemy's lire. N ow, ho wever, fire was reopened from the only mortar which we had fit for i. The only other one in the fort as an old Revclationary pieces which [ recognized as having seen at the Cit adel when I wzas a cadet. It had been spiked by the breaking of the priming wire, and had been useless for several :iays. Oor firmng of this piece was at irregular interva?ls. Besides this mor tar one gun was also used. As soon asi the 28th Georgia, left, that portion of! the wall occupied by them was :-overed by the Ciarendon Guards, (Company L.) r'nder the command of Capt. Jose ph C. urgess. Our men were directed to seep up a steady lire, not bo rapid :as to reate the impression that we were de og it for effect, nor yet so slow as :o nduce the belief that the garrison had een weakened. We were anxious to make the enemy believe that this new ife asocained by fresh arrivals. The fire of the enemy was kept up briskly, and their shells were falling all around. As soon as I had information that the 28.h Georgia h-ad erthbarked, ?tidthat the boas were reg^y for an other detachment, 1-sent off Coanpan ies R. D, E, G and H. They, lke the Georgians, took with them a 12-pound er ho vitzer. We tried to con':eal i1ho fact from our own men that we were evacuating the fort, and did all that we could to cause them to believe that fresh troops were near to take their places in the garrison. Great circuim spactior: and caution was regired. The -enemy were in our ditch :trd not cuore than fity feet from us. (I have recrntly hal a corversiitPori with Capt. Il-my, of the cruiser Cu rleston, who told ice that he was with the troops in our Jitch.) A panic among our nen woul1 have been at once fatal to the whole movemxient. No troops could hav- behave-i better then the prrison at Fort Wageer. The St. Matthew's tfiles, C.mpany F, Cp. Mar; in iI. Seilers, were posted b. hind the il ink wail on ihe outside of the fort. While the events jus: nar rated were transpirin ins:de of the fort, First Sergt. Carsotn, of Company F, one or the nest non-commissioned cliicers in the service, was kil!ed. Had he been spared he would certainly have attained a p,'strion be-tter suited to his ability. hits comrades, with their bay onets, dug a grave in the sand behind the flank wa!l and buried him there. The rooming of the enemy's guns and bursting of snzellb were his funeral sa lute. Truly he was buried with the honors of war. A courier arrived from Cuiming's Point with the informa'ion that the last de, aehment sent off had embarked. I next. sent off comwparies ii, A and K. Col. Keitt and his sutff 1-fc about this time. I nad no-v wi..h roe inside the fort Company 1; Company F was still tioloutg its position behind the outside wail. Our susDncse -as v- ry great. Every slack in !ho enemy's lire caused our hopes of escape to sink: The next shot was welcomed as the harbinger of success. We kuew then that our movements were not discovered. Com pany I had been filling all the posts made vacaut by the withdrawal of the others. Bth companies F and I be haved with great bravery and coolness. They now knew that they were cover ing a retreat, and that if pursued they must be overwhelmed. by superior numbers. Napoleou's old guard never acquitted themselves with greater credit. A messenger at length came with the intelligence that the last detachment sent was off and the boats again ready. I led out Company I in perfect order and was joined at the sallyoort by Capt Sellers with comyany F. Lient F. B Brown and ten men of Conpany I were detailed to report to Capt. Huguenin. Chat oflic-r wri.h this detaili, and a few more men of otb'r commanrs, had been ordered by Col Keitt to light a slow watch c mmunica ing wi-h the magaz tre, in which was a qiantity 'f powder 'ihe match was so timed that the rn ig -z:ie would ne blown up after the last, troo'ps had left the fort. The journ-y to C-ixnming's Point was a perilous trip: shells were falling and buret-ng arou:nd and over us. We kept in tne shad a' cast by the fort. The calcium light of the enemy lighted up our works as urilliauty as on the previous night. The shadow of Wagner exteuded nearly to Cumming's Point. Tne sail ors of the Confederate irnaclad gun boats were the oarsmen who rowed .he boats upon whici we embarked. We were carried to steamers in waiting just above Fort Sumter. An officer of the navy conmanded each of the small boats. . The ski;1 of the oarsmen was astonishing. The boats kept abreast with the lenght of an o-ir from the gun wale to thet en-I of the blade separating them. The cars thus inr~erlocked never tou-:hed or mnierfered witl each other. Tne bombardment of Wagner by the enemy was still goimng on after we reacned the steamers. It had not then been discovered that the work had been evacuated. Tne boats returned for H~uguenin and his party, but before they came baek we heard firing of small arms in the direction of Cumming's P'oint. Great fears we::e entertained that the brave captain and his detach ment had been overtaken. In a fe w minutes, however, he and the officers left with him and nearly all of the men arrived. The botcs whilch had returned from the steamers to Cumming's Point for Huguenin's party were everhauled by the enemy's picked boats as they came out of the creeks and were mak ing their nightly rounds. We lost of the garrisbn fitty-seven men captured by tha enemy, a few of them - naval ofiers and the rest sailors and soldiers. Six of the men were of Company I. We reached Fort Johnson and disem barked in safety. As soon as the ne ws was communicated to our batterries that the evacuation of Morris Island had been accomplished they arAd the gunboats in tne harbor opened with all their guns on that island. Three rockets were sent up. which was the prearrang ed signal for opening fire. We an all of the detachments of the regiments had reached catmp we found that the killed, wounded and missing of the 25th S. C. V. footed up 132, near ly one fourth of the men taken to Forl Wagner. We heard to-day full particulart of the plan of attack that was to have been made on Fort Wagner. Gillmore and Dah!greu's correspondence was in terpreted by our signal corps. The fleet was to come-up at the usual ncar and join the land batteries in the bombard ment, which was to continue with great fury till 9 o'clockr in the morning, the hour of low tidie. During the cannon ade troops were to be massed behind the last paralled At the hour, appoin ted for toe assault a red flag was to be run up on the Ironsides. The batteries and ships were at this signal to cease tiring. A brigade of infantry was to pass on the beach bet ween the Ilank wall of the fort and the water, and at tack us in the rear while another body of troops came over the last parallel ad assail us in front.

If people would only realize, says the few York Ledger, how easy it is to each children good manners when hey were little, it seems to me they gould never neglect to attend to it. .he youngster is allowed to go his own ray, to violate every rule of courtesy, ometimes of decency, until his habits ,e to an extent formed. Then there s a great breaking up of established otions and the child is punished and agged and worried *for doing that vhich it has heretofore been permitted o do without criticism. It becomes ,gered, sullen, unsettled and irritable, and has a strong sense of justice vhicb, by the way, is more common in bildren than people, as a rule, give hem credit for-it feels outraged and ,bused, and becomes unmanageable ,nd rebellious. The best school of canners for a child is the parent's ex mple and home training. Company aanners are, by all odds, the worst~ ele ent that ever entered into a family. st why people -hould ind ulge them elves in all sorts of careless, indiffer nt and ill-bred habits when they ar e lone at home, and put on a veneer of ourtesy, amiability and polish when omebody comes, is one of the many ysteies or this very mysterious thing hat we call life. How much easier i t ould be to maintain the steady uni orm deportment, to follow out the aue theories and hold to the same inciples Sunday and week days, lorm and shine, alone or in society. reneers are a makeshift.

C., January 9--The steamer Wareimo, which arrived last night, brought advices from Honolulu under late of January 1. On Decem ber 19 Minister Willis demanded of the Provisional Government that it sur render to the Queen. President Dole replied, refusing to consider the de mand. The Government is keeping the answer of Dole to Witlis's demands secret until it shall have had time to reach the President. The following summary, however, has been obtained f;om good authorty: Dole begins by noting that this is the first official communication his Government has ha: intimating in any way the policy of President Cleveland towards Hawaii. By no action of this Government has any matter con nected with the late revointion been submitted to the authority of the United States. This is carefully ar gued. No intimation has ever been made to the Provisional Government of anything having been done or con sidered in the premises until the al leged conclusion of the President now presented by Minister Willis. An ex haustive resume is given of the series of political struggles leading uD to the revolution, including the acts of Kala kaua before 1887 and his obstructing and dictating legislation by filling the Legislature with office holders. The climax was reached in the opium scan dal when Kalakaua took a bribe of $71, 000 previously prepared for the Legis lature. The citizens then united to overthrow the monarchy. This was averted by submission to the new Con stitution, which took most of his arbi trary power away. Thence on till his death he constantly chafed and sought to evade these restrictions. The inside history of the attempted revolution of 1889 is then recited, and of Liliuokalani's participation therein. The opposition then shown by her to the rights and interests of foreigners was aster her ascending to the throne constantly emphas'ze4. It became vi olent during the latter part of 1892, as shown by her preverse appointments of our Cabinets in opposition to the will of the Legislature. The events of the last week of her reign are recited, the resuscitation of the defunct lottery bill, the removal of the Wilcox Cabinet all through the Queen's personal infia ecce. Dole recites the attempted coup d'etat action of the committee of safe ty and two mass meetings of foreign ers and natives. The comnittee deemed the presence of American forces necessary for the protection of life and property and requested Stevens to land them. Dale denounced in the strongest terms as a falsehood that Stevens was ever asked to have his forces assist in the revolution or that he ever did so. The Government disclaims having ev er authorized Damon or any other per s ns to make terms for the Queens sur render, and denies that he ever report ed or was asked to report such terms. Damon made those terms on his own responsibility. Never before or since the revolution did the members of the committee on safety confer with Stev ens about the overthrow of the Gov ernment. The provisional Govern ment is responsible only to those who constituted and are now maintaining it in power. It is amenable to no for eign Power on earth. It has always been faithful to its constituents and by no acts or intimation has ever offered to sutmit its right to the United States or any other Power. For thea3e reasons the Government must refuse to consider the proposition of Minister Willis. No allusion is made by Presi dent Dole to Willis' appeals to their patriotism and moral sense nor to the terms'of amnesty secured from the Ex- Queen. Stole to Support his FamUy, PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.-ifter twenty-seven years cf service Theo. F. Baker, paying teller of Consolidated National Bank, thisafternoon stood be lore United Stats Commissioner Craig a prisoner charge'i with embezzling *47, 000 from the bank and with -falsifying bank's books. Baker attempted no de fence, and said his stealings had extended over a period of twenty years. In de fault of $15,000 bail he was committed to prison to answer the charges before the United States Diatrict Court. Baker first went to the bank in the capacity of a runner. His attention and apparent faithfulness brought its re ward, and he has bten gradaally promoted until in 1891 he was mad-s paying teller. A short time ago a bookkeeper named Vanduzen discovered that his books had been falsi fied, and he found a shortage of $30,000. The discovery and probable suspicion that might lall on him so worried him that he fell ill, and while sick he con fided the matter to his physician and at the sametime protested his innocence. The physician called at the bank yester day and told Vandazen's story to the offi cers. President James J. Watson called a meeting of the board of directors and they met this morning. Baker was called in and at once confessed that he was the guilty man. He said that he had been stealing in small amounts for twen ty years and that the total of his defalca ion was about $47,000. His method of staling was to alter and erase the amounts ini the i'ndividual ledger while the bookkeeper was at dinner and then absrxac~t cash fcom the money he had for tne day's business. He had always been able to make his book balance when the examiners made his examinations. Baker said that he had never gambled or speculated and the money he took all went toward supporting his family. His salary as paying teller was $1,800 a year. MuIst Show Up. WAsmINTON, Jan, 9-A surprise was furnished in the Hawaiian matter by the action of the House Committee on Navai Affairs this morning, which voted unanimnonsly to favorable report the Boutelle resolution to the House. This resolution is an ironclad one, call ing upon the Secretary of the Navy to inform the Hou-e by what authority instructions were issued placing the navail force under orders of Minister Blount and to furnish copies of all or ders or suggestdons issued by himself or any otlicer of the navy since March 4th, 1893, concerning the use of the naval forces at the Hawaiian Islands. An amendment was made changing the date to March 4, 1892, so that the opera tions of the navy in Hawaii'under the Harrison ad ministration would include The Secretary of the Navy is directed to furnish the information and is given no option to withhold documents which he might consider secret or the publi city of which at this time might be re garded as contrary to phbic policy. But one Democrat and one Repuolican mmber were absent from this meeting Boutell did not object to the amend ment. Chairman Cummings of the Naval Committee will report the Bou telle resolution to the House imomediat ly but says that it cannot be consdered until the debate on the Wilson bill has finished. B~outelle, on the other hand, thinks that the resolution can be called at once and be debated for fif teen minutes each side as provided for in the rules. Han Over. WOOD wARD, Ala., January 11.-An engine of the Woodward Iron Company collided with a hand car to-day with the following result: J. V. Neal, sec tion foreman, killed; Louis Frizzle, section laborer, killed; James O wens, section laborer, killed; Jim Jackson, section laborer, fatally injured. The men were on a hand car returning to the furnace. The engine was just leav ing with an Iron train. ThIck smoke blown on the track by a heavy wind prevented the crews from seeing each othr. The Uniucky Year. For a generation, perhaps longer, 1893 will stand in history as the un lucky year. Commercial failures un precedented in modern times have been thickly sprinkled along its pathway. The depression and hard times have not been confined to the United States alone, but singula ly enough have been shared by all English speaking peoples. The largest single bank failure record ed for the year was that of the Nation al bank of Australia, which went under in April with liabilities amount ing to 837,500.000. Australia and all England's south Pacific colonies were shaken to the centre financially. The next largest failure was perhaps that in which the American Erie railway, with a floating debt of $6,000,000, went into the hands of a receiver in July. It was a terrible year financially for rail roads, with 30 of them at present in the hands of receivers. It was also a year of unparalleled accidents and loss of life on tracks and trains. There were 29 serious accidents and collis ions, most of them during the World's fair months. An average of over three persons a day was either killed or badly injured on railway trains in 1893. Fire, flood and storm keep pace with the otner misfortunes. Certalnly not less than $100,030,000 went up in fLame and smoke in 1893, mostly in the United States. The most destructive single fire, however, was that which occurred in London, July 17, with a loss of $7,500,000. Large areas in Bos ton and Chicago were burned out again. In Boston two great fires oc curred, one of them destroying $2,500, 000 worth of property, sweeping over the identical ground ravaged by the fire of November, 1872. March 23 a tornado struck several of the southern states, causing in Mississippi alone a loss of 18 lives and over $2,000,000 worth of property. Aug. 27 a West Indian cyclone swept up along the coast of Georgia and South Carolina, crushing and drowning nearly a thous and people, destroying crops and mak ing thousands of negroes destitute. A still more terrific storm visited the gulf coast Oct. 2, involving the loss of 2,000 lives and an incalculable amount of property. Not less dIs istroas was the great cyclone on the coast of wes tern Europe, Nov. 19. A storm so de structive to~ shipping has not been known on the British and French coasts in half a century. Even these storms in America and Europe are in significant, though, when compared with the calamity that overtook the town of Kuchan in the Persian prov ince of Kaorassen. There on the 17th of November an earthquake shock caused. the loss of 12,000 lives. Of lynching horrors and train robberies the melancholy year of 1893 goes down to history laden full. May we make no such unhappy record in these respects for 1894! With so many sickening events crowding one another upon the observation and memory, with the want and bitter hard times all around them, it is scarcely to be wondered at that so many persons lost their mental balance, forgeting themselves some times in insanity, sometimes in suicide In New York city alone there as been an average of a suicide a day dur ing the whole of 1893, The nnmber of thousands taken off by the cholera in Asia, eastern Europe and north Africa there are no means of knowing. It must have been at the lowest 50,000, howeter. Eignteen hundred and nmne ty-three has given to mai s lessons of suffering and terror. It is ended now, If mankind shall learn from the woe and want It uncovered to be just and kindly, then Its losses wiil not be all loss. At any rate It is gone. What ever comes after can be no worse. We breathe a deep, long drawn breath of relief and turn our faces with new hope and determination to 1894. 'The tide is Tarning. NEW YoREE, Jan. 12.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say: Special telegrams from leading trade centres to Bradstreets brings evidence not only of much that is encouraging regarding the outlook, but that the tide has actually turned. It appeard beyond question that business in industrial and corn nercial lines has for some time been at low ebb, and that a movement in a direction of an expan sion of the volume cf business has ap peared. The pendulum which swung in one direction from May last u.il 1894 should soon be seen swinging in the op posite direction and Bradstreets points as an evidence of that fact to the increase of 34 per cent, in the production of pig iron within three months, to an excess of deposits over payments at some of the largest savings banks in the United States aud to resumptions in work at industrial establishments in all directions (even thouah with lower wages and on shorter time) as contrasted with the epidemic of shat~ downs prevalent .a month and more ago. In addition there is direct evidence that the tide is rising at vario' points. An increased movementa of f .rai stock at Atlanta and heavier demand there for farm machinery and manufactured pro ducts is reported. Auausta announces that cotton factories have orders ahead. while from Charleston and other points word is received that while city trade is relatively quiet, the "cross conds trade" at the South is healthiul and active. As soon as Southern planters and o'hers have arranged with factories for the coming year, the demand in general lines in the South is expected to assert itself more viaorously. Merchants at Louis ville have begucn to appreciate that the worst is over and to regard the future of trade hopefully, There is more inquiry for whikey and tobacco, the crop of the latter being short and prices advancing. Very little doing at Baltimore and the outlook is not thought bright.j At Charleston rice is one cent higher and there is a better teeling in trade cir les. At Nashville spring business is opening wiena signs of life and the trade is fairly satisfactory. Thete is only a fair vohr.me of business at Metmphis, but at Chattanooga there is a heavier de mand bor hardware. A moderate vol ume of business wish fair collections is reported from Moble and from Birming barn, The New Orlean money m irket is lighter on account of delay in securing oounty payments by sugar planters all of which he,s an effect on general bus ness. Lttle Rock says trade is unbavor abie in all lines and unseasonable wea ther at Galveston has had.an influence. From various portions ot the South re ports are received that cotton is being bed tot an advanc3. Cheeky Chinese. SAN FRANCIsCo, January 7.-The Chinese here have torn down the Govern ment posters put up in - Chinatown in forming tbem that the ofiice had been opened bor their registration under the Gary law, and Chinese placards warning their countrymen not to register have takean the npla of the posters.
