MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

Business is rather slack again, and until after
inauguration day the thoughts Of the people will
naturally be turned towards Washington. Trade
has also been somewhat impeded during the week
by Indictment weather. Money matters are very
quiet and the stock reports show that there is
little doing. Receipts of produce are limited but
prices arc generally we'll maintained.
NEW YORK. March 1 The business doing in

stocks showing advance, extending to I. per CT.
There was no vim to the speculation, however,
and the bears soon proved that they still have the
masking of quotations, aud under the pressure

FRI AT EVENING, MARCH j.

IN THE q. s. House Of Representatives,
two or three days ago, Mr.. Kennedy, repuo-
lcsn, Of OHIO, stated that colleague, NV
Crisp, Democrat, CT Georgia, had been elect
ed by the suppression of the negro vote, as
shown by the small number Of votes cast IN
his district. Mr.. Crisp mildly remarked
that as be had no opposition, the sma'lnes'
of the vote was readily accounted for, but
that at the recent election, when he did
have opposition, though developed only
three days before the election, twelve thou
sand votes we're cast, while In the republican
district which sent Mr.. Spooner, OF Rhode
Island, to the House, where there was act
i've opposition during the whole campaign
only six thousand votes were polled Inat
simple TACT, however, he said, would not
warrant him in asserting that the democrat
ic vote in the district referred to had been
suppressed To make such an assertion, he
said, he would require the most positive AND
direct evidence. There are men and men.
Mr.. Kennedy is a man, but, fortunately Tor
the human race, all men are not like him.

A PRIZE FOR MEMPHIS.
FOREIGN CAPITALISTS REALIZE HER
UNEQUALLED ADVANTAGES
AS a Manufacturing site-A Proposition
to Build a Large Factory Here to
Manufacture Layman's Safety Car
Couplers.

ii. ID. Layman, secretary OF the Layman
Safety Car Coupler Company, OF Little
Rock, Ark, with capital stock OF 81, O00,-
600, is in the city for the purpose Of locat-
ing the works Of the company here, pro-
yided satisfactory arrangements can be
made. MIR. Layman comes with very
strong Endorsements from prominent citi-
zens, business and railroad men Of Little
Rock, where there have been repeated
practicable tests Of the wonderful inyen-
ton and preserver OF human life. All OF
the tests were thorough demonstrations d
the fact that the coupler is safe, certain
and practicable, the link and pin always
being in the head, and that Il will
couple on TO any other kind OF draw
head and bolt on n straight or curved track
and may MS readily be coupled by the use
OF other links.
This coupler meets the requirements Of
long-felt necessity in railroading, and ut
no distant day will be adopted and used
by all ruads. That the demand for the
coupler will DO great is unquestionable,
and the corporation will no doubt in a few
years be one OF the largest and wealthiest
in the United States Mr. Layman pro-
poses TO place in Memphis 1000 shares OF
the worcestershire paid up capital stock Of
said company at -. % per share (par value
s25), and further agrees that II !, ZOO shares
OF stock are taken by Memphis capitalists
they shall be represented on the board OF
directors OF said company by three OF their
number, one OF whom shall be an officer
OF the company. Some OF the stock has
already been placed in the hands OF prom
inent railroad men here who have tho
uttermost faith in the future success OF tho
| company.
A model Of this great invention Is at the
Merchants Exchange, where II can DO
seen, aud Mr.. Layman will be glad to ex-
plain the merits thereof 10 all who may be
interested therein. Thecompletion OF the
Memphis bridge will make this one OF the
greatest railroad ceniers in the South, and
realizing this important fact It will be tho
intention Of the directors and officers OF
| the company TO locate their mandatory
here, where a strong competition can be
had in freight rates and tho advantage OF
iron transportation. IL is hoped that our
wide-awake business men will become in
tercsied In this enterprise and secure for
Memphis the factory-onc Of the greatest
foundations Of wealth, prosperity aud
future greatness city can possess.

of President Hadden to an APPEAL man
yesterday.
1t followed an off.hand observation from
the same official that the paving bricks or
dered from West Virginia several days ago
were looked for every day.
"The pavement problem in Memphis is
solved at last" said he.
As the eagle chicken hawk, sparrow
hawk, owl, and other birds of prey pounce
upon their victims, so did TnE APPEALS

thus kindly impaired.
"And what may be the solution?" he
asked.

blocks, on streets used Tor heavy traffic;
bricks on those for ordinary uses, and
gravel on those in tho suburbs"
After moment or two OF silence, 10

'0ur main difficulty in the past has
been with foundations for our pavemenis.
Concrete, such as was laid under the bricks
on North Court and under the granite
blocks on Third, removes the source OF
anxiety and annoyance. II will endure
for fifty years, mayhap one hundred.
Should the brick superstructurcs now be-
ing laid yield under the pressure OF traffic,
they may be removed, and the foundation
be found intact for cedar blocks"
"But you said nothing OF cedar or other
wooden blocks in your first proposition.
Do they figure In the solution2'
81 mean, merely, that should those liv-
ing along streets paved with bricks. after
that material has broken, under time and

the number OF graduates. and by the In.

and Handsome Returns.


The various committees In charge OF the
Knights Of Homer celebration and picnic,
next Friday, at the East End Dummy

many and intricate details.
In addition TO the pleasurable character
that ever belongs TO the orders annual
picnics, the approaching one has another
attraction for the local public, that Of be-
ing for the benefit Of the Pennsylvania
sufferers.
How readily the public has responded
to this distinct effort for that noble cause
is apparent in the fact that not less than
1000 tickets have been sold. Since most
OF these will no doubt be used, and are
not required by ladies, the enormous
crowd that will be present can DO approx
mated only. Anticipating that many will
prefer to drive out, an entrance TO the
park from the boulevard side has been
made. No improper characters can secure
admission TO the grounds. Following are
the committees who will take charge OF
the affair:
