RESOURCES OF MISSISSIPPI

Mississippi contains 20, 600, 900
acres Of woodland consisting
mainly Of pine, gum, oak and
cottonwood. Along The Gulf
coast numbering is the most I'M
pogtant industry, and each OF the
towns there is the centre Of a con
siderable Lumber trade. Although
this has been carried on there for
more than half Il century, only a
small portion of theavailablo tim
Der has been cut, aud The mill
men are not yet compelled to
build tramways or 20 far f,om the
banks Of streams. All of these
rivers run south TO the Gulf. and
are valuable aid IN getting the
logs to the mills and the lumber
to market. The Yazoo Valley IS
as abuBdantly wooded as this
coast region, but in diiiareat
varieties OF timber--gum, oak,
cypress and magnolia predomina-
ting. Its Importance as lumber
region for the future and lis I'M
mense supply of available timber
haye only rccentlybeen recognized.
As result, there haye been large
Purchases by companies aud syn
dlcates of these lands, over
2,00a0t0. acres having boon
purchased IN the last few years.

Tao remainder Of the State,
outside Of the small areas Of
praillcs aud the farni lands, bears
Il hardwood forest OF white oaks,
ashes, sweet and black gums,
hickoues, black walnut, poplar,
sassafras, which ~ variety,
quantity and quality IS rarely
cqnaled, but the products uf
which, for Accessibility or deval-
opment, do moi iiad as yet ready

the tnest lumber, oak, hickory

agricultural land In the swamps
of the Yazoo delta and the rich
bottom lands oi the Mississippi
and Pearl rivers, this growth
attmns the noblest proportions
aud forms a rominent and valua-
bic part Of the forest.
The pine tmiber along the coast
and the accessible rivers is mostly
removed, and is Tn te replaced by
the Cuban or loblolly pine, while
the abandoned fields and clear
lngs farther nJrth arc occupied
mainly by the short-leaf pine. The
iurpeutine industry is but little
developed in this State, which ac-
counts for the less widespread de-
yastatlon Of ihe pine woods than
IN other Southern States, but the
production Of naial stores is cx-
pected to iUcreass with the

NEW TRUST ORGANIZING.
Effort to Combine All the Cotton Mills-The
Idea an Impracticable One.

NEW YORK. Aug 5.-Vice- president Geo.
Sherman. of the Central Trust Company,
being interviewed by reporter to-day in re-
gard to the alleged Cotton Print-cloth Trust
said he has been in consultation with sew
eral capitalists last week in regard to the
formation of a cotton print-cloth trust, and
that his company had consented to act as
the trustee of such trust. after the papers
had been submitted to and approved by the
company's lawyers. Emerson Mcmillan,
whose name appeared on the circular sent
to the officials of the cotton-mills at Fall
River, telegraphed to Mr.. Sherman that
the use CT his name was without authority,
aud that he was not connected with the
scheme in any way. Mr. Mcmillan is presi-
dent OF the Laclede Gas Company, of st.
Louis
FALL RIVER. Mass, Aug. 5.-The scheme
TO buy up the cotton-mills of this city, and
OF the country as well. is looked upon by
mill men as absurd. "a syndicate could
gam nothing by purchasing the controlling
interest IN cotton-mlls in this country,
even If it were practicable" said a we'll
known manufacturer to-day. THE only
possible object trust of this kind could
have IN view would be to corner the mar
ket on cloth. As soon as that was done the
printers would build their own mills. or if
the syndicate forced prices high enough
English manufacturers would flood this
country with goods. The idea is a r1dic-
ulOuS one"

DEFALCATION AT FRANKLIN.
Discovery of Shortage in Business Firm
for Which Sir. White Is Responsible.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FRANKLIN, Ind, Aug. 5-Last week the
county papers published an item stating that
Thomas White. member of the firm
of Thompson, White 81 Co.. proprietors of
the Franklin starch-works. had sold his in
terest In that institution, and also his
property in this city, to Samuel Cutsinger,
of Edinburg, for $4,000 cash, and that Mr..
White would soon GO West and locate. On
Saturday Mr.. White made an assignment
for benefit of his creditors. To-day a rumor
was current that Mr.. White was defaulter.
The Journal correspondent called upon q
member of the firm and learned that the
rumor was correct. though a great effort
had been made to suppress the facts. The
facts. as learned, are as follows:
Mr.. White has been the book-keeper for
the company ever since it has been doing
business in this city-for the past eight or
ten years-but not until last week did the
company have cause to suspect Mr.. White
OF wrong-dolng.. AT that time member OF
found stubs that indicated sums of money
paid out for corn that had never been re-
celved by the company. This led to an in
vestlgatlon of the books and accounts of
the firm, which revealed the fact that Mr..
White was a defaulter in large sum. the
exact amount of which the firm are unable
to tell, as they know not how long White
has been defrauding them. One member of
the firm stated that Nh. White might have
been perpetrating thefts for years. from
the fact that when the company was
doing good and profitable business they
never suspected him of fraudulent acts
When accused of being a defaulter by other
members of the firm, Mr.. White made no
attempt at denial. To make good notes
upon which Samuel Cutsinger, member of
part of the sum in which he is defaulter,
Mr.. White has transferred property to Mr..
Cutsinger valued at $4,000.
The deIalcation will in no wise cripple
the firm, az it is composed of some of the
the county. The transfer of property may
shield Mr.. White from prosecution by the
firm.

KENTUCKY ELECTION.
The Democrats, as Uusual, Carry the Bourbon
State-Republican Gains.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 5.-Returns from the
election, to-day. for State Treasurer show q
Democratic victory. Stephen c. Sharp, of
Lexington. the present Treasurer. was nom-
mated for reelection. The Democratic
counties so far heard from show an increase
for him over the majority given Buckner in
1887. There have been some surprising vic
tories for Republican candidates for the
Legislature, but this has been due in all
cases to local issues. In Republican coun-
ties, where ex-senator Colson, the Repub-
1ican nominee for Treasurer. was expected
to make heavy gains. there has been rather
a decrease. Louisville gives Sharp $500
majority, and the State, probably, $4,000.
The Prohibition vote is light. The votes
for convention to revise the Constitution
probably Will show sufficient majority to
call the convention.
Returns received up to midnight indicate
that Sharp. Democratic candidate for
Treasurer. has been elected by $4,000 ma
1ority. All of the Louisville legislative
districts return Democratic members. The
Republicans gain Senator in the Frank
fort district. The new Constitution will
have a majority.

Physicians Pronounced Life Extinct.


Special to the Indianapolis journal
ELKHART, Ind, Aug. 5.-After undergoing
a prolonged sickness the young daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. +. M. Bosheler, of this city,
was pronounced dead, yesterday morning,
by three physicians, her heart and pulse
beats being perfectly indistinguishable.
Her eyes were glazed, her jaw had dropped,
and the death rattle was heard in her
throat. The father drove to Lagrange, a
distance of thirty five miles, had a grave
dug and took all the steps necessary for the
burial to-day. In company with several
relatives he came back to Elkhart this
morning to be half crazed with delight, on
crowd of excited people. who informed him
that, after lying in her shroud several
hours, his daughter had returned to life
and was rapidly improving. She is now
considered out of danger, and while the case
is poser for local physicians, the family
and friends are in ecstasies.
