The Chains of Columbus,

LONDON, Oct 3l.-From Rome it is stated
that some of the Genoa papers declare that with
view of stimulating interest in the celebration
OF the fourth century of the discovery of Amer
ica by Columbus, the Chevalier Baldi has pub
lished the secret he has kept for twenty years.
viz: his possession of the identical chains with
which Bobadelia loaded the wrists of Columbus
when the latter was sent back a prisoner to
Spain in the year 1900. The Chevalier SAYS he
secured these valuable relics after long and
expensive journey, made in Spain and America
for the purpose, and that he has kept the story
of his discovery and possession of the secret fo1
twenty years for private reasons, which nc
longer are binding on him.

Mr.. Hamiltons friends and counsel have done
everything possible to saws him from going TO
the penitentiary, but now there is no legal power
save the Governors pardon that can save him.
An appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court,

served out greater part of his term. petit
ton asking the Governor to stay the execution
of sentence and to pardon Mr.. Hamilton, will

The Vital Points in the Value of Stocks.

The Vital Points in the Value of Stocks.
The activity in stocks continues to be the
leading feature of the business situation and the
dealing was the heaviest lately known last week
at New York and Boston. At New York it
reached 100000 shares. The prominence of
stocks which are not paying dividends is notice
able. When it comes to quotations, it is curious
how much value is affected by nearness of To-
cality. By familiarity and by the prestige of
great names, all Of which may be vain relances
for income and for the future security of the in
come-the two really vital points in the value
of a stock There are not quite 100 active stocks
now quoted upon the New York Stock Exchange
of which but fifteen are above par. The rise of
the c., c., G. & l. and other Western Wander
bilts is seemingly attracting the most attention.
This rise is based theory that all these roads
Lake Shore, West Shore, Michigan Central
Ncikel-plate, Alton g. Terre Haute, and Three
Cs, etc.-are to be taken into omnibus con-
solidation, of which the New York Central has
got to furnish the horses. Now if all these poor
relations are improved at the rate their stocks
going up it will be clearly at the expense of
the New York Central Consolidation does not
make freight. as do new settlers, or increase of
crops. While there may be good grounds for the
advance in the Decline stock, there is not for the

Freight Business Over indianapolis Roads.
The train records show that there were re-
ceived and forwarded over Indianapolis roads,
last week, 16,098 loaded cars, against Is, 946 in
the week ending Oct "a, and &c. 30 the CORE
spending week of 1884 The east-b bound move
ment last week was the highest of either week
in October, 1885. Practically speaking there is
no seaboard business, while to interior points it
does not reach the usual tonnage at this season
of the year, which goes to show that Pennsyl-
vania and New York are fast consuming the
grain of their own production. West-bound the
tonnage has never been exceeded the last week
in October or, in fact, at any season of the
statistics: The Bee-ne in the week ending
Oct 81, 1885, brought in l, 1873 loaded cars; the
c., st. L. & p, 1893; the l.. B. & W., 6l5: the
c., H. & l., 279, which it will be noticed is a
heavy west bound movement. North and south
roads are now doing the heaviest business of the
year. and it is nearly all of local character and
carried at paying rates. In fact. the tonnage car
ried by all roads of local character is
quite satisfactory and will be still heavier for
some weeks to come, as the new corn and hog
crop will begin to move 1riskly with cooler
weather. Below is given the number of cars re-
ceived and forwarded at this point in the week
ending at II o'clock NJ, Oct 81. as compared with
the corresponding week last year:

NEW YORK, Oct. 3I-The officers of Typo
graphical Union No. 6 to- day signed an agree
ment with the New York Tribune withdrawing
all tnelr charges of bad faith and broken con-
tracts suspending their boycotting, and pledging
themselves to so advise all labor organizations
ana request from them similar action. This is
Inc result OF an adjustment which the officers
nave reached on the basis first agreed upon with
the tribune during the height of the Blaine
campaign, in September 1884, but afterwards
reJecIed by the typographical union themselves.
Inc tribune remains out of the union as it has
been Tor nine years; works under its old rules
and regulations, with its old foreman, and makes
absolutely no change among its employees, most
OF whom have been non-union men for many
years. and intend to remain so. It agrees to
continue paying its present wages to its weekly
nanos, Which are in nearly all cases above the
union scale, and to advance its rate for piece
composition to 46 cents per thousand. This is
the price named in the memorandum to which it
agreed last year, but which the union afterwards
rejected
In speech to his men, this afternoon, an
nounclng the agreement Mr.. Whitlaw Reid
thanked them for their conduct to their employ
ers during the long struggle and said that in
consideration of their splendid loyalty, he should
do more than the union asked, or he had agreed
to doa year ago. He therefore advanced the price
tor piece composition, above the union scale, to
Al cents per thousand.
Over onehalf Of the Tribune printers are
Democrats, politics not being allowed to inter
fere with its relations to it's employees 1t is
SAID the typographical union apprehends gen
eral movement among the other newspapers for
reduction to 40 cents per thousand, and that
this was their reason for accepting the terms
they rejected year ago. and being willing now
to adjust their difficulties with the Tribune on
the basis of its remaining a non union Office.

Demand for Railway Supplies.

Inquiries sent out by the Railroad Gazette, of

generally encouraging facts regarding the pres

pear to be experiencing the bad effects of the re-
cent depression as yet only one establishment
reporting an excess of orders over last year at
the sa me time. Others report the demand about
the same with prices stationary while still others
report substantially no business and no expecta-
ton of revival of orders for twelve to eighteen
months to come. 1t is worthy of remark, how
ever, that none of these companies think bust
will be any worse. but all are looking for it
to improve
Car works are generally not SO well en-
ployed as two years ago, but there is little
change from year ago. Prices are from 10
to 20 per cent. lower than in 1889 Some
works, however, report orders than
last year at this time, and prospects better.
Large manufacturers of journal bearings report
the significant fact that the old brasses returned
indicate that the railroads are wearing them
completely out before ordering new. Neverthe
less. they regard the GU loo as far from dis
couragine One carwheeI works reports an in
crease of 20 per cent. up to Sept l over the cor
responding period of last year.

railroad supplies are the bridge builders. With
scarcely an exception, they report large orders
