GRAND JUNCTION, TENN, December s.
The weather to day was rainy, with q
high wind in the morning which subsided
somewhat during the day, though the rain
scarcely ceased moment. The work done
by the dogs was extremely fine under the
circumstances; in fact, was good all
through and at times brilliant.
Gus Bondhu and Bessie 4 ere the first

from yesterday. The wind was blowing
fearfully, which, with the rain, rendered
it almost impossible for the dogs to locate
birds. Gus Bondhu won the heat.
B. NJ. Stephenson's Lady q beat Major
J. w. Murnan's Spor tsman in long and
very exciting heat, in which some re-
marksbly dne work was done. Lady c is
q very small bitch. bat a fast, wide ranger
and very stylish. She was double winner
last season. Sportsman is very large,
handsome dog, and ore Of the best in the
country. He won the Derby last season.
Mr.. Stephenson has cause to be proud of
his victory over such grand dog.
DIR. j. N. Maclin's Gath Mark, winner
of the all-sge setter stake at High Point,
beat J. W. Gill's pointer Richmond. This
was close rafting heat, in which much
fine work was done. 1t looked for time
like the pointer would defeat the eastern
winner.
William Titterington's pointer Trinket

THE PUBLIC HEALTH
Thirteenth Annual Convention Of the
American Association at Washington
Election Of New Members.
A Number Of Interesting Papers Read
Before the MeetiRg-The
Relations Of
Rainfall and Water Supply on Cholera
The Virus Of Hog Cholera-Dis-
eased Meat Abroad.

WASHINGTON, December s.-The Amer
ican Public Health Association met in its
thirteenth annual convention in this city
this morning, with DR.. James A. Reeves
of Wheeling, w. Va, in the chair.
The first business transacted was the
election of 125 new members.
DR.. H. B. Baker, secretary OF the State
Board of Health, of Lansing, Mich, read
an interesting paper on "The Relations of
Rainfall and Water Supply to Cholera. "
DR.. Bakers paper was illustrated by sew
eral statistical tables and diagrams, based
upon the statistics of cholera in Calcutta,
India, from 1865 to 1884 inclusive, and
and the meteorological reports Tor the
same period. These reports showed that
cholera and rainfall bore a statistical rela-
ton, the mortality being greater in seasons
of little rain, and vice versa. The tables
showed also that the mortality was greatly
reduced upon the Introduction in late
years of good water supply.
DR.. D. E. Salmon then read paper on
"The Virus OF Hog Cholera, in which was
given in detail the experiments made by
the Bureau of Animal Industry.
The Hon. Erastus Brooks of New York
said this was q commercial as we'll as q
sanitary question. He referred to the &C
ton of the French and German authori-
ties in prohibiting the Importation OF
American pork.
DIR. T. s. Verdis of Washington saio III Tie g
assumption that our animals arrived in
Europe in diseased condition was only
an excuse to keep out the American cattle.
Mr.. Brooks said ths. -hile. tnis was
prau....v true, it was not the whole ruth.
The alleged improper packing of pork,
rendering it unfit for use when it arrived
in France, was the svowed cause OF the
prohibition in France. He referred to the
retaliatory measures. He thought 1t was
our duty to see --s food sent abroad was
properly packed.
DR.. Reed, of New York, offered reso-
iution recommending legislation, national,
state and municipal, to provide protection
for the people against the sale OF diseased
meat.
The resolution was referred, and the
Association adjourned until this evening.
The evening session was devoted to the
reading OF papers on various topics OF
public interest.

The death Of MIR. W. II. Vanderbilt
yestero sy-much more sudden than was
that OF Vice President Hendricks-was
shock to the whole country, 70 which he
wss, perhaps, better known than any
other man out of official life, for his
wealth and phenomenal ventures in
finance. While in conversation with
Mr.. Garrett, president of the
Baltimore and OHIO Railroad,
without the least warning, he
fell over on his face and was dead be-
fore his friend could reach TO help him.
Elsewhere we pub)ish the particulars of
the sad affair, together with the comments
OF conspicuous financiers as TO its probable
effect upon the markets. Tnis will
not be appreciably felt, as Mr.. Wander
bat had been out of the market
for some time, and all his stocks and bonds
were Of A1e first class and were held as
paying investments and not for specula-

in fact, forwarded his resignation to the

Mr.. Cleseland's election. The message
contrasts We: favorably with some of the

PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Weekly Review of ihe Trade Outlook
Advancing Tendencies.


Advancing Tendencies.
lsPEcIAL TO TIE APPEAL.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December S.-De-
ember opens on advancing tendencies in
iron, steel, wool, leather, carpets, boots and
shoes and lumber. There is no aesuTs snce
that this upward tendency will continue
far into JanuarT, as it is due chiefly to an
unexpected activity in duplicate orders and
to the movement of consumers of heavy
material to guard against an unexpected
demand. Carpets will advance because Of
dear wool, restricted output and exhausted
stocks. Hosiery is ordered freely and
mills are resuming with full force and
time. All the textile interests will be full
of orders for the spring trade. Duplicate
orders for Southern and Western markets
are coming in freely.
Boot and shoe makers in New England
contemplate a successful combination
against what is termed trades union dicta-
ton. Business is active and prices are
firm. New branch houses are being
established in the West, to deal directly
with manufacturers, and this course is
also pursued In the dry goods interest.
The wool markets are fairly active and
manufacturers are buying for winter con-
sumption; 80 per cent of the manufactur-
ing interests will petition against change
of tariff duties. A large number of looms
and knitting machines are being put in
place here and in New England textile
centers.
The iron trade is activs and firm prices
rule everywhere. Heavy transactions
have been ciosed this week in crude
finished iron, foreign and home, as we'll as
in bridge materials, steel rails, old rails,
etc. The stream of requirements for ma
chinery and motive power for roads, en-.
gines, ETC., is 80 strong that Manufacturers
are induced to cover probable require
ments.
Increased activity is reported at CIR and
locomotive works. Business, footing up
$780, has been handled by manufact
| urers OF electrical light devices within ten
days for cities, towns and for manufactur.
ing and private houses.
The lumber and coal trades are in vigor
ors conditions in Atlantic and lake mar
kets. Prices are firm. Freight rates by
water and rail continue to advance.
During the past week large amount o
house, factory and building work has beer
| projected in New York and Philadelphia
| as well as in Western cities. Architects
| builders and investors aye preparing foi
| an early revival of building activity il
| the spring. Makers of machinery have
| just closed large contracts for milling
mining, railroad and machine shops ap
| pliances, for delivery in come of tn,
Southern States between February 1st anC

| Competition will play an active part il

founded belief that between an assured
conservative management and restrictet
output and increased demand and the en-
| couragement afforded good investments il
nearly every avenue of trsde and industry
