4 GREAT SUMAC CROP The recei pts of
sumac have beeu larger this season than they
have been since the war, Notwithstanding the
price paid is lower, only 90 cents being the

prospects for corn, the peoples necessities bave

New York, Sept. ID. The Chicago express

or 10 crowded coaches, had narrow escape
from catastrophe yesterday. While going
north at a speed of forty miles an honr, the
Locomotive jumped the track near Rogers
station, dragging the tender with it a distance
of two hundred yards perpendiculArly. None
OF the cars left the track. The engineer re-
manned bravey at his post. There is sharp
curve near the spot where the engine left the
track, and deep water close by on each side
of the track.

II hear from source that commands my

Germany to support the Russian demands at
the Belgian congress, and she was even more
offended at the attempt made by Germany to
assume the role of arbiter of Europe n the

plicated intrigue whereby Russia seeks to
embroil France and Germany in quarrel
concerning the Carlists, and to use this quar-

Boston Boot and Shoe Market.
THURSDAY. September


The shipments OF boots and shoes from this mar.
ket to places outside OF New England for the past
week have been 42,7l3 cases, against SENS cases
for the corresponding week last year.
Total shipments for the first six months OF the
year, sos POI cases, against sS936s cases tor same
period last year.
The shipments from Lynn for the week have been
1880 cases against 1851 cases for the same week last
year.
The shipments from Haverh for the wceE have
been 1902 cases. against 320 cases for the CORES
ponding week last year. -
The most noticeable feature Of the market this
week is the large number of southern buyers who
have never here purchased before, but who have
heretofore bought their goods in New York, There
is more or less complaint among manufacturer,
but in some cases this is chronic and In others the
trade is not satisfactory. Some houses are un.
usually busy and there are other manufacturers
who are cuTtailing their business. As whole We
think more orders have been taken and larger
quantity OF goods sold than was expected fort.
night ago. There is no buoyancy 70 trade, but
there are just about enough order coming along
to keep the wheels moving. Our advices generally
from the West are favorable, and farmers nre al.
ter all likely to obtain fair price for their pro-
ducts. There is q brighter look In most sections
of the South, although the small properties OF
fine goods that are taken by buyers indicates that
people will buy shos more for sexyice than fort
show. There continues to be u good demand for
boots, and brogans sell a little better. Pegged
work adapted tor womea's wear 10 also In very
good request, and there are fair sale. s

Democratic Caucus.

The democracy met in Granite Hall Satur-
day evening. At the proper time V. ID. Pink
ham stood up, waved his right hand. and all
sat down; he then sent G. w. Martin to the
chair; G. W. Stanley thought the chair should
have secretary, and it selected Chas, w.
Stafford. Upon the stating by the chair of
the object of the caucus, V. d. Pinkham
moved to postpone the nomination until news
came from The Other Caucus; but Pilsbury
Immediately gave him a hint in a whisper,
and Pillsbury, Pinkham, PARROT and C. B.
Morton, Staples, and one or two others, who
seemed to have the whole responsibility of
the occasion, formed group and conferred
in low whispers for a long time. Finally
Pillsbury spoke aloud to the audience, and
said he would not be candidate, believing sit
for the interest of the democracy OF the city
to nominate some other man." At this junct-
ure the chair invited g. W. Stanley to the
platform in consideration of his having voted
the democratic ticket at SO annual elections.
Stanley made speech, and alluded eloquent
" to having been "down-trodden." He was
cheered. As the Stanley episode subsidized,
the irrepressible Pinkham again arose, and
with chidlike simplicity moved that James
w. North be nominated by reclamation, hav-
ing heard that was to be in the programme.
But he was too hasty again, and got his
foot badly in it. Staples objected with digni-
ty, and moved that committee be raised to
receive votes, which was done. The hats
were passed around. and at the end of a quar-
ter of an hour the vote was declared to be for
w. 5. Badger, four votes opposing. 1t was
now nearly o'clock, but no official news
from The Other Caucus had been received;
the chair particularly requested all persons
to remain until delegation was received and
"hands clasped." To kill time Pilsbury
mounted the platform and spoke his little
piece about taxes; he closed by expressing
grave fears that his fellow democrats were
