RICHMoND's MIXED BANQUET.
Some of the Features of That Noted
Social Gathering.

Social Gathering.
The special correspondent OF the Pitts
burg DlsDatch, VINO was present at the
banquet given by some of the cOlored peo-
pie of Richmond to District 40 on Thurs.
day night, telegraphs, among other things,
the following: The colOred people of
Richmond gave a complimentary banquet
this evening TO the delegates OF District
40, which was one Of the most interesting
episodes of the session. Two tables,
stretched the length ot Harris Hall,
were crowded with dele rates and guests.
Whites and blacks were about even
in numbers, and they were seated with
out reference to color. Among the white
ladies' present were three of the cleverest
delegates to the ssemblv-Misses Hena-
pin and Stirling, of Philadelphia, and
Miss Lee, of Minnesota. The master of
ceremonies was DR.. Ferguson, a physi-
clan OF high reputation, aud ut rly white.
An address of welcome, excellent in COM
position, was read by Col. Wilson, mu-
latto. A response was made by j. G.
Farley. a colored photographer; and a
really eloquent speech was delivered by a
young attorney named Scott, who is quite
black.
All OF these speakers disclaimed any
desire on the part oil the colored race to
compel recognition as social equals. The
only social equality That had ever existed
was thrust on them Dy the whites, and
this peculiar feature OF the question was
brit hv discussed in good set terms by
e ach one OF the cOlOred orators.
A leading feature of the evening was
the speech of Victor Drury, who was IN
troduced by DR.. Ferguson as one OF the
fathers of District 40. 1t was only few
minutes in duration. but was one of the
most thrilling aud eloquent | have ever
heard. He seemed to be inspired by the
occasion to flight of oratory unusual
even in him, thou IN he is noted as one OF
the greatest OF living orators. Speaking of
the aims of FOrty-niue, he said that what

Across south Am erica.

The great work Of completing line of
transportation from the Atlantic ocean al
the mouth of the Amazon river to the Pa
cific at Lima. in Peru, begun fifteen years
ago, but for long time interrupted, is
again in progress. The distance across
the continent by this route 10 over 1920
miles, of which about 1000 miles are COW
cred by navigation up the Amazon and
it's tributaries A part of the distance is
already covered by railroads, but the last
30 miles are the most difficult part. The
difficulty and cost of this comparatively
short line will be seen when it is stated
that to complete it will probably take
from five TO six years and cost from S15,,

POLITICS IN LEON.
A Possibility of Electing a Demo-
cratic Ticket.


TALLAHASSEE, oct. 1S.-The Republi-
cans OF Leon county are preparing for a
very active canvass. All the tickets are
fractional tickets, and Independent can
didates have formed themselves into two
regular tickets strongly arrayed against
each other. One is headed by Mr.. ID. s..
Walker, DR., Independent, tor the Senate,
with four colored men Ior the Assembly.
The other is led by Mr.. S. Baer for
the Senate, and four cOlored men
for the Assembly, all Republicans.
The Democrats are waiting
quietly tor an opportunity to put tortn
a ticket just before election day, with the
hope of eecting 1t. An earnest effort is
being made to induce Gov. w. ID. BloX-
ham to accept the nomination for the
Senate, thereby heading a Democratic
ticket. Gov. BloXham is undoubtedly the
most popular man in the county.
A recent editorial in the MORNING
News has had the effect OF arOIslng me
people of Florida to the danger threatened
by their dissensions throughout the d ate,
of losing to the Democrats the United
States Senator to be elected this winter.
The spirit of Independentism so promi-
nent few weeks since is now on the
wane, and it is safe to say the next Legis-
lature will be largely Democratic. and 1T
will number among it's members some of
the most prominent and reliable men IN
the entire State. Capt. S. Pasco, Chair
man of the Democratic State Executive
Committee, Will be elected to The Legisla-
ture without opposition from Jefferson
county, together with the entire Demo-
cratic ticket.
In convention assembled, at Crawford
vile. the Democrats Of Wakulla declared
in favor of Ex-Governor William ID. Biloxi
ham for the United States Senate. He is
now Surveyor General OF Florida.

TRADES PULSE.
A Large and Healthy Movement of
All Kinds of chandise.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia resume OF the
weeks business shows a large and
healthy movement OF all kinds OF mer-
chandise and manufactured products.
LUMBER.
Receipts OF lumber, including hard
wood, have been in excess of current re-
quirements, the surplus going into stock.
Prices are strong for white and yellow
pine, spruce, oak, cherry and walnut.
Furniture manufacturers are buying
winter stocks, and retailers, both here
and in Philadelphia, are stocking up.
IRON AND STEEL.
The furnace production is absorbed at
SIG to $40, according TO quality and In
Tended use. Bar iron is 1.75 to &c.; nails,
81 to 81 20; bridge iron, &c. to &c; steel
rails, $34 to $36. Mills and furnaces are
everywhe OVersold, and inquiries are
numerous for winter requirements. There
are as yet no signs OF over production.
LEATHER.
Manufacturers of leather are fully sup
Piled with all kinds, but are holding their
own. Slaughter sole is 25c. Boot and
shoe manufacturers throughout Msssa-
chusetts report an active demand tor both

Materials of all kinds are abundant and
cheap, and architects and builders pre-

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION.
The years construction to date is
greater than for like period of ten or
fifteen years past. Enterprises are now
engaging the attention OF city capitalists,
calling Tor loans which will aggregate
$4,000, 600.
TIKI COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK.
The result of the close margins OF the
two months preceding sept. mas been
an increase in the volume OF Liabilities OF
a decreased number OF failures. Bank
loans are easier of late under improving
trade prospects. Railway earnings are In.

THE INDUSTRIES.
Production is equal to consumptive re.
quirements, ard any attempt to crowd
| prices to higher level will result in q
curtailment OF demand, with weakening
prices. Textile mills are straining every

is no occasion for higher prices, either

even under an increasing export demand
and any attempt 10 force an advance mus

shorter hours. Much apprehension eX

and some other producers will advance t,
