He was nccompaniod by Deputy Allen
Brown and Win. G. -Baldwin, th ■ noted
detective, who is a brother of the Blue-
fields chief of police. The posse found
ShiadejV hiding' pbtee s.hortly Is'fore
dark. They expected Ho take; him, by
surprise, but ns they stealthily approach
ed ho opened fire with a Winchester'.
The officers then opened on the m<>on-
, shiner and a fnsilade was kept up for
thirty minutes. The chief of police was
shot through the stomach, nhd-iDeputy
Blown 'through the groin. Detective
Baldwin escaped injury and succeeded
in arresting Shrader. The wounded
men and the prisoner were brought to

better grades of goods.-and"'as this must
continue for months the adjustment to
new conditions must be gradual,
The money market rinntintjes to reflect
a legitimate increase of commensal dife*
maud which comes mainly from dry
goods commission houses, but is it noted
that although the last week of August
is at hand the requirements from the
West and South for crop movement pur
poses are by no means ojt ordinary mag
nitude.
The,liabilities of firms fkiling for the
second week of August amounted to
only $1,613,309 and for the last three
weeks to only $?,‘i02,O7(5, of- which $2,-
033.200 were of manufacturing and $3,-

Secretary K"S*. plated this morning,
t tia’t he' did not think Uiat the confer
ence of last evening was of a great deal
of value or importartce a* a medium of
draydng_the contending parlli-s together
and he did not aitpact that it would 5e
fruitful in results.' He thought that the
presence of the representatives of the
labor organization? was a public.demon-
itration of the fact that they deelre to
•b» honorable and above ^>oard Ip -theirt
course, and that they are desirous of
bringing the strike .to an end. He take*
exception to some, r' the statements of
Mr. Orapo in regard-to the mill men
of this city desiring to pay high wages.
He says that up to 1888 it was undoubt
edly true thn^ the spinners of this city
received mote pay than those of other
textile centres,, but in that year there
was a general levelling. At that time
the cotton trade was In a flourishing con
dition and an advance was made In
wages. It is now true that in no place
are the wages of spinners 5 per cent,
below those in this city, and then* are
some centres where they are slightly in
excess of what they receive here. The
pay of spinners here at tho reduction
wo ild Ik* Considerably less than that of
.spinners of liOiisdale and Berkeley.

Mr. U gers was s -verely «at down upon

"Now,, there is no necessity in the
world for It. On the contrary, If It ean
have any effect at all.Mt muat be a infla-
chlevous effect. This Mr. Rogera calls
the convention avowedly for th# purpose
of discussion. Of discussion the Southern
people hays had their fill (for thirty
yean*. TbeV have done little except to
’discuss.’ and it would not be strange if
practical Northern men -were setting
them down aa merely Incarnated ver
bosities. What the South now need* Im

cisely what the exchange has been or
ganised to de, and le now doing.^ We
have perfected a moat thorough organi

are right, therefore, in discouraging and
