| "A New York letter says: "Within the
two or three days past there has been more or
| less complaint with merchants in the leading
| trades, that business does not improve as
rapidly as was anticipated with the advance
of the season. I refer most especially to those
branches that are directly dependent upon
the West and Southwest. Advces from the
travelling agents of well-known dry goods
houses are pretty unanimous in representing
that, though the harvests are abundant, the
farmers, as a rule, are disposed to hold back
the grain in the hope of forcing higher prices !;
they say they are confident they can get vi a
bushel for wheat, and this in the face OF the
fact that there have been something more
than average crops in almost every grain-pro-
ducing country in Europe, and that the for
eign demand upon us in consequence will
neither be unusually urgent nor extensive.
AS consequence of this policy, of course,
the farmer is without the cash which would
enable him to be a purchaser OF goods anu
to discharge already existing obligations.
Collections hence are not as prompt as they
might be- These are the chief reasons why
mercantile business with all that class OF buyers
is as unsatisfactory as it is, but, us the former
cannot hold on to his grain forever, 1t IS

GEORGIA ELECTION.-The Georgia State
election was held on Tuesday of last week.
The vote throughout the State was not as
large as was expected. There was a falling
off in the vote of both parties, and there was
considerable apathy among the colored people
who were expected to vote solidly for Gartrell
for Governor. A. II. Stephens was elected
Governor by a majority of about $4,000 as
nearly as the official returns so far received
indicate.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS.

At the suggestion of two or three promi-
nent citizens, the Legislature injected some
Constitutional questions into this campaign,
and now the Democratic Executive Commit
tee would, it seems to us, force their adoption
in very questionable way. When these prop
ositions came before the Legislature, they were
voted for by two distinct classes. One party
wanted the measures adopted, while the other
party was willing to submit the question to

floating in graceful curves over his
coat collar. His waistcoat is of choco-

81 years old, but looks older, and has

messenger to Spottiswood, the printer,
and while he occupied that micros-
copic position he had carved with a
nail a mans head upon stone he had
picked up near the Houses Of Parlia-
ment. This head attracted the atten-

great sculptor Foley to take him as

Gnitean's Will to be Contested.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Dr. Hicks
received letter from Geo. Scoville,
dated Chicago, saying that he would
come on there next week, for the pur
pose of contesting Guiteau's alleged
will. Hicks believes that Scoville
has been furnished money by specula
tors for the purpose. Hicks, however,
will contest his right to Guiteau's re-
mains to the last. One weak point in
the will is the fact that Chas. Reed
who drew up the document, is not
willing to testify that Guiteau was OF
sound mind.

The Condemned Man.

Samuel Ridgway, the man who was
sentenced to be hung on the 22d Of
next September, for the murder OF
John Sherwood, seems to be quite in
different to his fate. On his return
from the District Court yesterday,
Deputy Sheriff Parker asked him
what they had done to him in court?
"Oh, nothing much," he replied.
"They just sentenced me to stand on
my head till l peg out"
He is kept in solitary confinement,
in the front cell on the east side OF
the Jail, and scarcely ever has word
to say. His cell is the quietest in the
Jail.

FRANKLIN, Pa, July 29.-John G.

to be 100000 to 100000. Craft lost
heavily in the oil market, and used the
bank funds to cover his losses. The
stockholders are ready to meet all de-
mands, and the business will con-
tinue. No run is likely. Craft is a

Mr.. Barth related to a barroom
gathering that Miss Miller put on
boxing gloves and fought five rounds
with a yonng man at Sacramento
picnic. He gave circ,uustantial ac-
count Of the encounter, extravagantly
praising the girl for the skill and en-
durance which he said she had shown.
But she is not pleased by that kind OF
commentator, and sues him for slam
der, alleging that the story is substan.
tally false. She did put on the gloves
but only for few minutes, and there
was no boxing, except that her oppo-
nent let her hit him as much as she
pleased, which was very little.

THE LEMHI COMPANY.
A New Organization that Already En-.

Erect 4 Smelter Soon.


A few days ago a TINES reporter
visited the Wolftone, one of the five
claims recently purchased by the
Lemhi Mining and Smelling Com
pany of Philadelphia.
The claims are situated on the
South Fork Of Deer Creek, and about
three miles from the sawmill of the
Robertson Brothers. They lie about
1000 feet above the level Of the creek,
and are reached by very precipitous
trail just completed.
Superintendent A. y. Footc kindly
offered to show the TINES representa-
tive through the mine, and insisted
upon his seeing everything for him
self. The vein lies between lime and
quartzi,e-the latter being the foot

Magiunts' Plan.

New York, 5.-Herdld's Washington:
Delegate Maginnis, of Montana. pro-
poses an excellent way to put stop to
the political power of Utah, polygamy,
and TO place polygamous Mormons under
the proper control of the law. His prop
osition is to let Congress divide the Ter
ritory Of Utah, incorporating the western
part with the state of Nevada, the south
eastern part with the state of Colorado,
and the small northern part with Idaho
and Wyoming. Congress has abundant
power to do this, and it is evident that
when it is done the Mormon power will
be broken. Part of the Mormon popu-
lation will be then citizens of Nevada,
and will be there only the minority of
the whole state, and Part will become
citizens OF Colorado, in the minority
there. The main portion of the Mormon
population wonld thus become citizens OF
states which have already established
constitutions and laws, to which the Nor
mons would Of course be amenRble. Ma
ginnis remarks that such . division of
Utah and distribution Of its parts would
not only be perfectly legal and proper,
but would have the advantage that the
new boundaries would be natural instead
of artificial.
