Charleston, Sept. 15. — Tho News and Courier has issued its annual trade review of the business of Charleston for the year 1895-{XI ending Sept 1. The total business of the city is shown to be |67,20o,129, a substantial increase over the ligures of the preceding year. There was an increase in the nee trade in this market of nearly $200,000; in the phosphate rock traltio, of $225,000; in the fertilizer business, of $125,000; in the lumber trade, of nearly a similar 'amount, and in the grocery trade there was an increase of over $500,000. The b' stness of the city is shown to bo in a most healthy condition at the present time, and tho outlook for the coming fall and winter is better than in a decade. TILLMAN IN PENNSYLVANIA. The South Carolina Senator Has a Lively Discussion at I’ottsville. Pottsvii.le, Pa., Sent. 15.—Represen tative C. N. Brumm of this district and Senator Ben R. Tillman of South Caro lina met upon the same stage in a pub lic hall in Myersvillc, the homo of tho congressman, and the greatest excite ment prevailed during the discussion. Personalities were indulged in between the two speakers and upon several occa sions a riot was feared. The discussion was impromptu. Mr. Tillman had gone there to hear a silver orator named Thorpe deliver a speech. Upon tho conclusion of Thorpe’s speech, the senator was invited to speak, but declined. He would yield, ho said, if Mr. Brumm would repeat what he had said of the senator in a speech at Potts- ville a couple of weeks ago in a speech in reply to one made by Mr. Tillman the week previous. Mr. Brumm as sumed tho stage and a bitter discussion between him and the senator ensued. Senator Tillman, in opening his re marks, after his invitation to Represent ative Brumm, stated that the represent ative had criticized him ud his people and state in his Pottsville speech, and ho was there now to defend himself. He referred to Mr. Brumm as a traitor to principle. He then began to query him as to his former advocacy of the greenback theory. He forced Mr. Brumm to admit that ho believed that with the government’s stamp paper could be made money. To this the sen ator retorted by saying that if the tiat of tho government could make money out of paper, why could it not make money out of silver. Mr. Brumm referred to slavery as be ing one of the most injurious effects from which labor in this country had suffered and that the rebellion of the south was the effort of that section to continue the iniquitous system of bond age.

T.io Agricultural Department I**uo* It* Crop Report For the Month of Septem ber—A Falling OfT of Eighteen I’olnt* In the Condition of Cotton—The Apple Crop a Failure—'Other New* Item*. Raleigh, Sept, 14.-Thc railway com mission gave a hearing to tho leading railways with a view of ascertaining whether their present through rates dis criminate against any local rates in North Carolina. Tho Southern railway was represented by Vice Presidents Baldwin and Andrews and General Counsel Henderson. The question was asked by the commission whether the cut rates have so far increased business as to make it profitable in comparison with the former rates and whether the rates are based upon the long and short haul section of tho interstate commerce or aro only in effect to competitive points. The commission reduced passenger rates a quarter of a cent, making them 8 cents per mile firstclass and 2 I 7 cents soeondclass. The commission found that the long and short haul clause was violated by at least one road and tiered that the local freight tariffs be so reduced as to bo proportionate to the cut through rates. A hearing as to the reasonableness of reduced rates will bo had Sept. 22. TERMS OF CO-OPERATiON. Kcpub'.lrnn mid I’opuli*! State Cuiuinlttvc* Make I'ublic Thalr Flan*.

The Kngincor of One of the Train* Thought Ho Had a Clear Track and DHcovercd Hi* Mistake Too Late—Steamer Three Friond* Arrive* at Fernandina—Latest Cuban War New*. Key West, Sept. 15.—Passengers who have just arrived from Havana on board the Mascotte bring nows of a terrible collision of two trains, filled with fresh troops from Spain, that had just landed, in which 100 were killed and more than 100 wounded. The train was on its way to Guanajay, loaded with troops, and another had left that city. Tho insur gents stopped both trains at different points.

Fla., stating that the sus pected filibustering steamer Three Frit nds has arrived at that port, pre sumably from Key West. No particu lars were given. CONDITIONS IMPROVED. A I’i>ttrr Fi*»-!lrijj L.*l*ts In luduttrlal mid Murcautilu Circle*. Cr. \ttanooga, Sept. 15.—The Trades man’* southern correspondents report no marked change in industrial and mercantile circles, but conditions aio improving and a decidedly better feel ing • xists. Despite the fact, however, that money is easier, and manufactur ers. generally, agree that prospects, in all lines, arc more encouraging, tho numl-erof plants in operation has not increased, reductions aro being made in wages, and tho recent bank failures at Now < hlcans have caused slight restric tion. just when tho crop movements wen* beginning to stimulate trade, l Taken as a whole, the business for the past week is marked by greater volume in some lines, but tho conditou is still a waiting one. In the iron and steel market there is promise of more activity. A fair amount of business is being done in pig iron and inquiries aro more numerous. t*outbern furnaces report heavy sales for the week. In tho Birmingham dis trict the iron movement is especially ac tive and prices are slightly stiffer. The lumber market shows more ac tivity, Lnt prices continue unsatisfac tory Yellow pine is on a steadier basis and dealers report improved collections. There is some inclination to buy a little ahead, as higher prices aro expected. Tlx* feeling in hardwood circles is more confident and sales aro increasing. The cypre.-s trade is also looking up. The lexlile industry is fairly active, but a number of mills are still curtail ing production. It is hardly probable, however, that there xvill be many iolo spindles among southern plants by Oct. 1. Several new cotton mill concerns are organizing and enlargements continue to lie reported. The coal mines are increasing their output to accommodate tho fall trade, which promises increasing activity, de spite political disturbances. More Trouble I'eareil at Martlimbtirg. Vam khukg, Ky., Sept. 15. — It is feared that further trouble will result from the political row at Martinsburg Saturday night. Thomas M. Irwin, who was struck on the head, is one of the wealthy ini ii of tho vicinity and a Royal Arch Mason. He is not expected to live and Ins friends are swearing ven- g Ninro. Marshal Volers is recovering. Ga.tries Miller, Oscar McCann and Bar ney Candy, of the 12 rioters, aro in jail.

Washington, Sept. 15.—Bryan and Watson have been formally notified by the Populists of their nomination for president and vice president, respect ively, by tho St. Louis convention. Bryan is notified by Senator Allen, chairman of tho Populist committee ap pointed for tho purpose, in a letter dated Madison, Neb. Tho important points of tho letter are as follows: It was known at the time that you had been nominated by the Democratic pirty at its convention held at Chicago a few days before that time, and that you would in all probability accept the same i» a formal manner. Your nomination by the People’s party was not, therefore, made witu any thought that you were a Populist or that you ac cepted all the doctrines declared by the St. Louis platform. It was due, largely, to (lie fact that the money question is the overshadowing political issue of the age and because you have at all times been an unswerving, able and fearless advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold on terms of equality at the mints of the l’lilted States at the ratio of Id to 1. It has at no time been expected, or is it now. that you will abandon your adhesion to the Chicago platform, nor that you will accept all that is declared by the Peo ple’s pnrtv platform, however more grati fying the latter would be totlie Populists. It must be understood that the part)' does not abate one jot or tittle of loyalty to its principles, we have declared ourselves in favor of man)' important* reforms and go farther than you or your party have gone. These reforms are, in our judg ment, essential to the liberation of tho people from present unjust and iniquitous industrial bondage. In accordance with precedent of ouf party, we take this method of notifying you of your nomi nation. The People’s party will exact of you ni promise farther than those made m your public utterances and exemplified in a life devoted to the welfare of the race, nor will we ask you to abandon .the party of which you are an honored member. In your nomination our party has risen above mere partisan surrounding, adopting a high plane of patriotism, believing that a division of forces would result in the elec tion of William McKinley. Your extensive and intimate knowledge of public affairs and the duties the office will impose, gained in a life that has been devoted to upholding the cause of the peo ple, as well as your keen insight into the condition of our country, in our judgment highly qualifies you to bring about a change in a way that will work Injury to none and justice to all, thus making our government in fact, as it is now in form onlv a ••government of, for and by the peo ple.'” Fuller Notifles Watson. Watson is notified in a letter from Marion Butler, chairman of tho national Populist committee. The letter is two columns long and recounts tho history of tho Populist party, giving the rea sons from his standpoint for its exis tence. The striking features of the let ter arc given below: Such is our form of government that the citizens of the United States must shape its course for good or evil through the agency of polit ical parties. When there is no political party that represents the principles of good government, no party t hat stands for right and the interests of the laborer, tho wealth producer, and nil who strive to make an honest living by fair and legitimate means, then it is im possible for the majority of the voters to express their will at the ballot box. When all the political parties stand for the selfish interest and personal greed of money changers, corporations, trusts and monopolies, as does the Republican party under the leadership of John Sherman, and the Democratic party under the lead ership of Grover Cleveland, then the pro ducing masses are victims without an al ternative, To w.tlihold their votes will i furnish them no relief, whi e to cast4heir votes for either party is to sanction tln ir own spoliation and to strengthen the ' power 1 hat oppresses them. Another party, an American party, was wanted. There was need for such a party ■to keep alive the American spirit of 177i'». , to advocate and enforce the principles of the declaration of independence, to advo cate the rights of American labor and American manhood, to restore prosperity to a suffering people, and to rescue a great and rich nation from the quicksands of bankruptcy and ruin. Thus the People s party stands for the great principles of a republican form of government as repre sented by the forefat hers, and came into existence to restore the government to the Grailini; tit a ICallroMil Ci>tn}>leteil. R 'leigh, Sept. 11.—The grading of tho railway line between Starr and Aabeboro has been completed and 102 convicts employed thereon have re* tnrned, 70 going to the state farm at Wadesboro and 20 coining hero. This new line connects tho Aberdeen and West End road with the Asheboro brancli of the Southern, and give* flic latter entrance into the long leaf pine section. Two Not ml Outlaw* Killnil. Birmingham, Ala,, Bopt. 15. — B irt Tina her, the notorious Bibb county outlaw, and hi.* pal, known us “D o” Panther, were killed by Deputy Sheriffs lb nry Cole and J. Hall of this city, near Herz Greek, Walter county. Ever since the murder of Deputy Sheriff Griffin B )• -, at Bloektou, three weeks ago, Coio and Ball have been on the hunt for the outlaws, for whom u larger ward was outstanding. N people. The People’s party was the first politi cal organization in 20 years that made an honest demand for the free and unre stricted coinage of silver. In 1MU2 the Democratic politicians de- umiuttd the principles of the People’s party. In Is'.Si these same men were forced to purge themselves to their modern false doctrines and return to the principles of Jefferson and Jackson. That party, in its national convention, nominated for the presidency William J. Bryan, a man who was ready to renounce the false god* of a corrupted rcpublicau- it-tn. The People’s party, true to its principles and true toils teachings, nominated for tin* high office of vice president a man worthy to have headed tlie ticket, a man who represents what Mr. Bryan repre sents. ami, therefore, presents to the peo ple today in the persons of Bryan and Watson the best silver ticket in the field —a ticket more representative of Ameri can interests than any Other, a ticket that stands for just the opposite to that for which the Kcptihlirnu ticket stands. If tin* people win this fight for financial reform, it must lie accomplished by the co operation of the silver forces of all po litical parties. To secure such co opera tion of the different parties it is necessary fo have a co-operative ticket. Therefore, Bryan and Watson is not only the liest tulver ticket, but It ia also the true co-op erative ticket. We have the honor, representing the second national convention of the People's party, to formally notify you of yotiruom- Iiiatum for vice president of the United States, and hope you will accept the higli trust and carry our banner of “equal rights to all and special privileges ta none” to victory against the combined minions of special privileges, aggregated capital and organized greed.

The Zulu Bible is one of tho interest ing forms of the Scripture among tho vast number of Bibles printed in the Bible house in New York by the Amer ican Bible society. Th»* statistics of tho society are interesting and surprising to any one unfamiliar with them. The so ciety’s 20 cent Bible and 5 cent Testa ment aro probably the cheapest books in the world. Tho Testament for 5 cents is marvelous. It is a small book, but tho type is clear and plain, and the cover, a soft one of cloth, is neat and attractive. The figures on tho inside of tho 1806 edition show that 12,442,000 copies of the book have been printed. The Biblo is in the 1895 edition, and tho figures show t hat at the time of its issue 2,300,- 000 had boon printed. That number has now been largely increased. It has been estimated that in busy times an average of ono Bible and throe or four Testa ments arc turned out every minute by tho plant in tho house for every day in the year. About two-thirds of all tho Bibles printed are given away, and the ethers are sold at cost. Last year the society issued 1,750,283 Bibles and Tes taments. Tho English editions and edi tions in tho common European lan guages are all printed at tho Biblo house. Some of tho languages of tho extreme east, like tho Chinese, can bo printed more cheaply by native work men in tho country to which they be long. Tho Canton Bible, which is in the colloquial tongue spoken by most of tho Chinese in this vicinity, is printed at the Bible house. In the past 80 years of its existence tho society has issued 61,- 705,841 volumes of tho Holy Scriptures, in nearly 100 languages and dialects. In tho first 25 years of its existence it printed nearly 8,000,000 books, in the second r.early 19,000,000, and the total issue of tho third 25 years was 82,448,* 136. An o’d gentleman interested in tho work has estimated that there have been Bibles enough printed to supply every person in tho world with one.— Detroit Frco Press. LI ami tlio Antlrnllwry Hpook*. In n letter from China last rummer I told tho story of tho first, railway that was laid in that country and how tho government bought it and tore it up be cause it interfered with tho passage through tho air of Fung-Shuy, tho spir its of tho dead, that are always present and exercise, an omnipotent power over tho affairs and destinies of mortals. The superstition cost tlio government $1,500,000, and Li is supposed to share it with tlio rest cf his race. But ho seems fo have recovered somewhat, f"r when ho was talking with General Wil ton recently about tho plan of construc tion cf several lines cf road in China ho was asked what they were going to do about tho Fung-Shuy. 'i ho old man laughed and retorted: “They will have to take care of themselves. Wo need tlio railroads moro than tho Fung-Shuy,” Some years ago, when he constructed a telegraph lino between Tien tsin and Peking, tho wires and tho poles were fre quently cut down, and he was put to a gr« at deal of troublo and expense keep ing them in repair. Finally ho sent for tho magistrates of all tho villages along tho route and told them that tho mis chief must stop. They replied that it was done hy tho Fung-Shuy. “All right,” replied tho viceroy. “If tho Fung-Shuy cut another wire or pull down another pole, 1 will hang tho mag istrate of tho nearest village.” There was no moro interference with tho telegraph after that.—Chicago Rec ord. To Replace MLisIug I.«*k*. An inventor cf a new form of artifi cial leg says that if a man is so unfor- tunata as to lose his leg ihero is no rca- ecu whatever why any ono beyond his own immediate friends should ever know it, Tho new leg is said to be re markably truthful in its simulation of the motions of tho natural limb. It is a curious co- trivauco of hinges, screws and clastic hands. Extending downward from where tho anklo should bo to a point midway between the heel and the instep aro ♦wo steel mis placed one in front of tho other. Ono rests on a sort of roller hinge and allows tho foot to give or bond with each step. The other serves the purpose of bringing the foot back into plaro after tho st**p has been taken. Any lateral movement of these rods is prevented by the sides of the slot through which they move. A screw and a nut at the top of tho rod also prevent tho leg from turning and thns givi i>g trouble in walking. Tho similarity to uainro in the form and action of tho limb is increased by the placing of nu artificial heel tendon within tho foot at the back of tho anklo joint. This ex tends through a hole in tho leg to a nut about half way up. It gives an aston ishing flexibility and control of tho artificial limb in walking.—Detroit News. Index to New Advertisements.
