By two O'Clock the Place Vendome was
throng ed. Three bands played while the work
men were chipping the base of the Column.
Engineer Abode arrived. Rochefort followed.
The people cheered Rochefort The arrange
ments being all completed. the bugles sound
ed. and the cables were stretched. The
column stood firm, but windass gave way.
Abodie wanted two hours to repair this ac-
cident At 5 o'clock it was announced that
the column would not fall till seven. There
was a,5eneral cry of disapprobation. Abode
was accused of completely with the Yer
saiilists and threatened with the guiilo-
tine. At half:past 5 the cables were again
stretched. The column swayed, then swept
magnilicently down, bursting Into fragments
as it struck the earth. The crowd cried,
s.Vive Ia Commune" The bands played the
Marsaillaise The statue Of the Emperor was
detached first from the column with the head
broken of by the fall. The Nationals spat on
1t and struck at it with their rifles. Orators
made all kinds OF extravagant speeches, alter
which the crowd dispersed and the soldiers
moved off waving the rec flag.
VERSAILLES, May lG-Evening.
Tradesmen from Paris say that many thou
sands of men, friends of order, are anxious for
a fearful revenge or the Reds upon the entry
of the yersailllsts. TheJ complain of being
made to fight the Versaillists against their
will. A correspondent. is informed that the

Paris adTices report FIVE papers suspended.
Several persons were injured by the falling OF

ONE OF the effects Of carpet bag and
scalawag rule in Charleston, South Car
DINA, has been to close the public
schools for an indefinite period, and
they will not be re-opened until provis,
ion is made for paying the teachers
what is due them, and for the support
of the schools in future. The money
for the support OF free schools is raised
by general tax, and by law is Sc,
apart for the purpose. The State
Superintendent of-ducation declines
making any statement as to what has
been done with this money. or why it Ii
not forthcoming. There appears to be
considerable Indignation at the present
condition OF affairs, but nobody suggests
how it is to be remedied. There are
grave suspicious that the school fund
has been sacrificed by tie officers who
should have guarded it, in satisfying
the profuse appropriations OF the late
corrupt Legislature.

printed at Fairmont: So
In the yea. 1860 the county levy ior
Marion county amounted to SIX tno9'
sand two hundred and eighty-two DOL
lars and forty cents In 1917 the
amount Of the levy for county ,pur'
noses was eleven thousand seven hun
dred and forty-two dollars and ninety
five cents: nearly twice as much as IN
the DAYS of Democratic government
Now there is no reason why it should
cost more in 1870 than in 1860 to ad-
minister the affairs OF this county. The
large increase Of expenditures is tracea-

Newman and Hardin.

New light has been shed upon the
recent letter of Rev. j. P. Newman,
which has attracted attention from it
extraordinary zeal in urging the re-
election OF Mr. Harlan to the Senate,
and the mendaclous means bv which it
was proposed to consummate that Oh
ject The most respectable Republican
journals in Iowa state that the letter in
question was not merely addressed to a
private friend, but was autographed and
distributed to the ministers OF the Meth.
odist Church throughout the State. The

favor Of Harlan, by an appeal to secta-
ran Partially. tits, therefore, in every
sense partisan circular, concocted by
one who appears TO be as much an
adept in political tactics as the mos;
expert wirepuller; for he was careful
to recommend attention to the "prmar,
meetings" aud the nomination of the
right men.
When we recall how Harlan, as Sec.
rotary OF the Interior, got himself pre-
scented with service of plate, by a com
pulsory contribution levied on the clerks
IN his own Office, it is naturally suggest

and looted the bill for lithographiuy

WOOL TRADE EXCITEMENT.
The Advance in Raw Material and
Fabrics.

Inc huS0uCc lu -"
Fabrics.
The continued rise in the prices OF
wool and wooden goods has caused an
uncommon excitement among dealers
The rise commenced some six or eight
weeks ago and appears not to have
reached its full extent. The reasons
for the advance are said to be the small.
ness of the clip this year and last year,
the large demand and consumption In
Europe during the war, and the fact
that nearly all the mills have been
enabled TO run this year, the supply Of
water being ample. Mr.. A. I. Stewart
at New York, is credited by some with
having engineered great corner in the
wool market, and with having already
realized a profit of one million dolarr
in his operations, but inquiry among
the trade tails to establish the fact
the story seems TO be based on the
circumstance that Mr.. S. has bee,
obliged, during the past two or three
years, to take possession OF a carPe'
factory and several wooden factories
ON which he had mortgages, aud run
them on his own account. He has, o
course, been large buyer, and, ap
prehensive of higher prices, has laid IN
an ample stock Tor future uses.
The advances in the prices OF WOO
have been about as follows:
Common Mexican, which used to sell
from ghteen 10 twenty cents pound, Il
-elIing al from thirty to thirty-two cents
Carpet woods, usually quoted at thirl.
cents, gold, are held at thirty.seven ano
hall cents. Cape woods have gone ~
rom thirty-five to forty cents. Australian
wool from forty-two to tifty-two cents
and what are called extra Aoeoes, wh,ct
are standard in the wool market Xix,
mlddling in the cotton market, are
quoted at sixty-one to sixty-four cen!>
MS against forty-seven to fifty cents SIX
weeks since. Even shearings, which
are the shorter wool which grows on
sheep between the time of their shear
ing in the spring and their slaushtering
in the fall and are used for making
hats, sell at forty cents per pound,
instead OF twenty-five cents the old
price.
The various wooden manufacturers al
home responded, Of course. to this rise
in the raw material. Carpet yarns have
advanced from 371c per pound to Coo
per pound. Two and three-ply carpets
are l24 per cent. dearer than they were
and Brussels, which recently fetched
81 90 are held at $2.l5. All kinds Of
wooden cloth and clothing material have
advanced on an average OF 10 per cent,
with an upward tendency. The utmost
activity is manifested in the trade. The
manufacturers have orders ahead for
everything they can make for several
months to come, and is as usual, the
tears of the retail dealers OF higher
prices still to come, lead them to rush
IN aud supply themselves at present
rates.
