realizing bonanza. Large sums of
money were lost at that. Checks
signed by him and in favor of New
comb, Pearl IL Co., the United States
National Bank, Halgarten IL Co. and
Cohnpoper u Co., it is said, were paid
out Of the treasury by Folks clerk
under instructions. 1t is also said
that Polk was in pool in the Mem
phis and Charleston stock and lost
heavily. He carried these stocks to
Texas with him. 1t is thought that
between fifty and seventy thousand
dollars went in this way. The com
mittee state the testimony showed
that subsequently O'Conner demand
ed money, out of the treasury, and
was always given what he wanted.
Capt. Fleming said that Polk told
him (Fleming) at ole time that if he
could ever get O'Conner's heel off his
neck he would kill him.

contained sensible article entitled
"EDlightened SeI6shness," in which
= great amount of good advice is
given the citizens of that town. They
seem inclined to do just as Milan did
nine years ago-place a fictitious
value on their real estate just because
a railroad had reached them; and
then do nothing themselves to de-
velop their resources. They will find
that they are killing their town by
their l0,enIightened selishness.

Governor Bate was inaugurated in
the presence of an immense assembly
at the Capitol last Monday, Chief
Justice Deadrick administering the
oath Of Office. Gov. Hawkins and
Gov. Bate went into the representa-

enthusiasm was manifested by the au-
dience. Gov. Bate is one of the
most popular men ever raised to that
position in this state, and deservedly
so. too. His inaugural address was
patriotic and appropriate to the Occa-
sion.

If iron and cotton can be manufac-
tured so much cheaper in the south
than in the north, why is it that a
few southern papers are fighting so
vigorously for protective riff,
while New England is willing to re-
turn to free trade? IT seems to US
that the south can stand free trade
better than the north, if it he true
that we can manufacture cheaper.

THE GREAT ROBBERY.

We give below brief synopsis of
the report of the investigating COM
mitttee of the legislature regarding
the treasurer's defalcation:
After briefly reciting the facts con-
nected with the flight of Polk and
his capture, the report states that
owing to the testimony adduced by
Capt. Jas. G. Fleming, the confden-
tial clerk and book.keeper of Col.
Polk, the committee was enabled to
find how the funds of the Office were
expended. When Fleming entered
the employ of Polk in March, 1878,
there was deficit of from $40, 900
to $40, 900 in the treasurer's accounts.
The deficit became larger as time
passed by, and when the bill settling
the state debt at 1903 was passed
he was very far behind. just before
the passage of this bill in 1881, Polk
was defaulter to the extent of SAL
600; but nevertheless he settled at
the time with the legislative commit
tee. Thomas O'Conner, one of his
bondsmen and president Of the Me-
chanics' National Bank of Knoxville,
furnishing him with SIS, 900 in mon
ey and certificate of deposit on his
bank, for $4,000. After the adj
journment Of the Legislature, Polk
returned both the money and the GER.
tifcate to OConuer. When the leg.
islative committee examined his books
in April, 1882, Folks deficit was
S216, 500, 90. Checks to the amount
of $4,000 on various state deposito.
ries were deposited by Polk in the
First National Bank of Nashville, and
the bank was asked to delay presen-
tation of them for "A short time.
While doing as requested, the banks
declined to credit him on the
hooks. The credits were entered by
Polk on his books, and the committee
thought all was right, aud 50 reports
eo. Although the First National
Bank of Nashville refused to assist
him as he wished, the Nashville Saw
ings' Bank gave him false credit of
S33, 976.75, the credit appearing on
Pulk's books and those of the bank.
False credit for S57, $50 was given
him at the Merchants National Bank,
of Nashville, as the books shows.
False credit for $4,000 was e ven
him on the books of the Mechanics
National Bank, of Knoxville, and
for $40, 900 on the books of the Bank
of CoIum aia. These banks are state
repositories. The Legislative com
mittee passed upon his accounts and
said they were correct A statement
WAS made to the committee by the
president of the Merchants National
bank to the effect that checks when
were to he held over for few days
were given to the bank by Polk. The
Ulcers of the hank thought every
thing was right and held over the
checks The action OF the banks in
giving false credit is severely CRITICS,
ed by tn Committee, who suggest TO
the attorney general of the State the
advisabiliIy OF taxing steps to recover
from them the amount of the deficit
since the time the false credits were
given. 1t Is claimed by the commits
tee that Pnlk's DIFF lit would have
heen d covered but for this action of
the banks. and 100000 would have
been saved.
The committee includes in its re-
port the various investments made by
Polk. Col. Polk went to New York
last summer to fund tennessee bonds
under the act to settle the debt AT 90

there is a marked decrease noted. The
only assignments of consequence in New

Markets in the Old World.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Manchester
Guardian in its commercial article says
that there had been but little business
done Thursday. The buyers only had a
few orders of Importance i'll hand. De-
spite the slackness of the demand sellers
do not appear to be anxious for fresh bus
mess, They are impressed by the firm
ness of the cotton market, and adhere
steadily to their quotations.
Political affairs and the cotton failures
in Liverpool increased the quiet tone
of the Mincing Lane markets during
the past week. Common sorts
of coffee are firmer, Rio showing a
tendency to improve. Plantation CeyIon
is irregular and easier. There has been
some pressure to sell China tea by auc-
tion. Indian teas are firmer. Bengal rice
is firm, and prices have improved I'D. per

has not improved, Ceylon cocoa brought
higher prices
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 2.-The leading
weekly grain circular says that the bet
ter feeling noticed in the beginning of the
week has continued, and has received
fresh impetus from the publication
of the stock of wheat in Liver
pool, which, contrary to expectation,
shows a marked decrease; There was
an average attendance at to-day's market,
and there was ali improved feeling.
Wheat was steady and in moderate de-
mand at Id. advance. Flour was in
better inquiry at recent prices. Peas de-
clined I'd. Corn was in fair request and
slightly easier.

ST. LOUIS RING INDICTED.
The Grand Jury's Final Report Scathes
the ScoundreIs Roundly.


ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2.-The grand jury
made final report to-day and returned
indictments against Josph H. Mcintyre,
State Coal Oil Inspector, Z. Butler,
leading Democratic politician, and David
W. Caruth and DR.. Frank J Lutz, Police
Commissioners. The indictments allege
that these parties conspired and combined
to Obstruct the administration of the law
with reference to gambling, lotteries
and gift enterprises, and to dictate
and control police appointments with
view to carrying out their schemes, po-
lltical and otherwise. They are charged
further with attempting to induce eX-
Chief Of Police John W. Campbell not to
interfere with gambling, lotteries, ETC.,
and acting in this did remove
him without cause from office.
The report of the grand jury is
very scathing in its language. 1t asserts
that combination Of notorious persons
exists for the purpose of obstructing the
laws with regard to gambling, censures
the Governor for granting pardons,
especially to convicted gamblers,
and recommends the withdrawal
of the pardOning power from the Gov
ernOr and the appointment of a State
Board of Pardons. 1t further recon-
menus JhaI Ine power OF appointing the
Board of Police Commissioners be with
drawn from the Governor, and that they
be appointed either by the Mayor or Cir
cult Judges. 1t also severely censures
the use of blank designations by the Gov
ernOr. Among the other indictments
are the following: Henry S. Newman,
State Commissioner of Labor Statistics,
charged with selling nOtaries commits
sions; Hugh q. Brady, member of the
Legislature, charged with bribery; w. F.
McChesney, leader of the gamblers
ring, charged with attempted bribery;
