CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business In the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, September 1S.-The wheat
market was more active and stronger,
with an undertone decidedly bullish, and
the feeling nervous. Fluctuations were
again narrow and trading to large eX-
tent local though there was more buy
ing for foreign account reported both
here and in New York. The opening fig
ures here for the leading futures were hc.
above Yesterdays clusings, and by noon
the market gradually climbed up another
lac or to 1872 for December and S31sa
S3Ac. for May. No excitement attended
the advance for the news that came over
the wires vas SO favorable to holders
that n higher range of prices was inev-
table and the local calping crowd were
not long in shifting to the hulsidc. Offers
were at no time large. Outside markets
were all stronger, New York and ST.
Louis averaging nearly lc. higher, with
cash wheat in st. Louis dong better.
This was one OF the strongest features OF
the market here to-day. At no time du-
ring the day did prices get below outside
quotations of yesterday, and the final
closing range was at the top, being
Tsa1 sc. higher for the day.

Murphy Advance. We saw while over
at Professor William Beal's one day this
week some of the most beautiful speci-
mems of corundum that were taken from
his mine about twenty miles distant
from Murphy. We doubt if there is an
other corundum mine in Western North
Carolina that would proveso valuable to
seekers of this class of mineral, as the
one in question. The Professor also
laid before our gaze some splendid sam
pies of corundum sand which is very val
uable. Though he is not very eager to
dispose of this property we learn that it
can be purchased at very good figures,
considering its remarkable value. John
Mccall who has been serving ten years
sentence in the penitentiary at Topton,
was pardoned last week by the Governor,
Mccall is a noted cook and will go to
Valleytown to live. He was very highly
complimented by Gov. Jarvis for the
manner in which he cooked the Govern
or's meals while here last week.

OUR INFANT NAVY.
MIR. TRACY FOLLOWING IN
WHITNEY'S FOOTSTEPS.
He Decides to Build Two More
big Cruisers, and orders for
Their Construction will be I'M
meCliateIy Given, Etc.


WASHINGToN, d. c., September 1S.-
Secretary Tracy to-day finally decided to
build two three thousand ton cruisers in
the government navy yards. Before tax
ing this action he made inquiry of the
leading ship builders firms as to whether
there was any possibility of modifying
the designs for vessels retaining mean
while the full strength and speed so as to
secure bids within the limit of the cost
fixed by Congress. The ship builders
were of the opinion that this cOnld not be
done. One firm replied that under such
circumstances they could reduce their bid
| by $40 900, but this would still leave the
bid far in excess of the appropriation.
Secretary Tracy regarded the law as
mandatory upon him to construct ships,
and that he had the discretionary power
to build them i'll the navy yards il the
bids were too high in his Judgment, even
if they fell within the limit fixed by Con
gress. So to-day, as already stated, he
decided to undertake the work, and or
,ers will Immediately issue to carry out
his intention.
One vessel complete will be built at the
| New York navy yard, as well as the ma
CHlllCly lOl lIlC OlHCl, "lIllC lnC Illlll anu
boilers of the second vessel will DC con-
structed at the Norfolk navy yard. By
this arrangement one set OF patterns can
be made to serve for both ships, being
first used at New York and then sent to
Norfolk. 1t was bclived that under or
binary circumstances both vessels could
be constructed at New York, but that
yard is now pretty well occupied with
work and it was also the secretary's
wish to distribute as Earascould he done,
having due regard to economical con-
StruCtion.
1t might be mentioned that the wishes
Of the California people to have the YES
sells built at the Mare Island navy yard
were carefully considered; but the fact
that the cost of the ship would probably
be increased by at least $15O,OO0 by
building it there was sufficient to turn
the scale against in the present instance,
where the most rigid economy must be
Observed to make the cost approximate
the money appropriated by Congress.
Secretary Tracy is hopeful that he will be
able to build ship at Mare Island
soon after the plant is in place.
Bond offerings to-day aggregated
S591 $50, all accepted at 1.2S for four
per cents, and 1.O5&l for four and a halls,

RELEASED ON BAIL.
Foster Finds a BOndSman and
Doesn't Go to JaiI,

Sandy Foster, colored, who went gun
ming for Robert Smith, also colored,
Tuesday night, had a hearing before
Mayor Blanton in the police court yes
terday morning. Sandy looked remark
ably cool and calm for man who had
fired couple of big leaden bullets at his
fellow Traveller along life's torn-up road
bed the evening previous, and the thought
of going to Jail seemed to be the farthest
away from his razzled-dazzled mind.
He paid close attention, however, to
the evidence given into the court by the
man he had tried to puncture with the
aforesaid bullets, and when that part Of
the testimony was reached wherein the
honesty of Sandy was discussed by the
plaintiff, the formers features were visi-
bly, affected. A smile Of scorn, and look
of whitening contempt were conspicuous
in his hitherto uncOnCcrncd cOuntenance,
and it was plain to all bcholders that
Sandy did not like to have his little pee
cadillocs and "indiscretiOns" laid open
to the gaze Of a curious public-a public
that delights in attending courts for the
sole purpose of witnessing the untang-
ling of the skeins of varied and general
dcviltry and the systematic dissection OF
private characters by the inquisitoria
defenders of the law.
At the conclusion of the testimony it
was evident that Sandy was ''in for it, "
and his attorney, Mr. Thomas A. Jones,
said that if his client was bound over to
court Smith should be bound over also.
Mayor Blanton did not agree with the
learned counsel for the defence, and told
Mr.. Jones that Foster must give a bond
of 5000 for his appearance at the Octo-
Der term of the criminal court to stand
trial, or else he would commit him to
Jail at once.
Foster finally secured a bondsman in
the person of Mr.. S. +. Chapman, and
was released from custody by the Mayor.
Smith was told to depart i'll peace and
he departed.

Shot and Killed by a Negro.

ATLANTA, September 17.-At six o'clocE,
this morning negro named John Egan
appeared in Mr.. Frambrough's yard in
Rutledgc. He was a suspicious looking
character and was ordered to leave the
place. Instead of leaving, the negro be-
gan to dispute and at the same time
drew a pistol and fired. The ball took
effect in Frambrough's bowels and re-
suited in his death before a doctor could
arrive. The negro fled but every effort
to catch him is being made, Blood
hounds have been telegraphed for.

LOUISIANA BONDS.
A Robbery of Nearly Half a MIL,
lion Discovered.

NEW ORLEANS, September 1S.-Therc
are no new developments regarding the
Seminary and Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College bonds other than the fact
that the bonds are on the market, p. F.
Herwig holding $23 900 Of them. There
now seems to be no doubt but the State
has been robbed of bonds amounting to
27S,400 and interest paid on them
amounting to $4,000 more, making in
all $34S, 400. Marshal StOddard who
was treasurer Burke's cashier up to July
1888, states that in 1886 some of the
coupons of these bonds were presented
for payment; that he refused to pay
them, and called Major Burke's atten-
ton to the matter and heard nothing
further about it. Maj. E. A. Burke,
who was treasurer for eight years pre-
cecding the present administration has
been in London several months. \
friend cabled him yesterday regarding
the payment of the coupons, saying that
about $4,000 had been traudulently
obtained from the interest fund Of the
State. Major Burke replied by cable
IF any loss, every dollar shall be pro
tccted. Will sail on the first possible
steamer from London"

A NEW NATIONA1. PARTY
by Mr., Chamberlain
AT HudderS1ieICI.

= LONDON, September 1S.-Speaking at a
political meeting at Huddersticld last
evening, Joseph Chamberlain predicted
that an alliance between the liberal
unionists and conservatives would con-
linue until the agitation i'll favor OF a
separation of England and Ireland was
killed. He thought at the time the
alliance was formed that it meant his
sacrificing for a long time many cherished
political objects, but he had found that
le had not been called upon to make any
sacrifice. The government was carrying
liberal legislation through parliament,
and unionst leaders had learned
to work together and to trust
each otner. He agreed with the
suggestion of Lord Harrington that
new national party ought to be
formed, pledged to effect internal reforms
in Great Britain and Ireland, and whose
policy should be the maintenance of unity
and the strengthening of the empire.
The Gladstonians, he said, "are break
ing up. Their centre of gravity is nowin
their tail Their head has lost all its di-
rccting energy. Sections of the Glad,
stonian party are adopting political
hcresies, and favor resistance to law and
socialism. If new party was formed
its program would be as far removed
IRON the new doctrines of the ultra.
radicals as from the fossil toryism of the
past" He was confident that many
Gladstonians would be glad to adhere to
such new party which would constitute
strong parliamentary power.

Al Black Mountain Station just
East of AsheViIlc.

THE CITIZEN has received the following
appeal from committee of ladies COM
posed of Mesdames James A. Nancy and
Julia Pcyton Washington, soliciting as
sistance in the proposed erection of a
house tor divine worship at Black Noun
tain station, on the Western North Caro-
lima railroad, sixteen miles east of this
city:
"An appeal is respectfully made to all
who are charitably inclined to aid i'll
building a church at Black Mountain
station, where the need OF one, of any de-
nomination, is felt. Black Mountain be-
ing the nearest point accessible to Mount
Mitchell, (the highest peak east of the
Rockies is much visited, and no place in
the mountains of North Carolina is more
beautiful or healthful. But it is deSti-
tute of any church, and the native popu-
lation being entirely unable to build one,
a few visitors are making the effort to Sc
cure the needed assistance. Any con
tributions, however small, will be cheer
fully accepted. Further information
cheertully rendered by the Rev. j. II. Pos
tell, Asheville, N. c.
Mrs. JAMES A. NANCY,
Mrs. JULIA p. WASHINGTON"
We hope that those who are able to do
so, will literally aid the ladies in estab,
fishing a suitable building for religious
purposes at Black Mountain station.
Un-RepubIican and Un-American.
The Charlotte Chronicle, on the sub,
cct Of punishment Of lynchng says:
IfNorth Carolina intends to assert her
power, and to maintain her dignity, no
alternative is left. Laws must be en-
acted to deter lvnching. 1t would be
next to impossible to convict a mob OF
murder but a wholesome statute would
be that sequestrating the property of all
those engaged i'll any lynching.
1t is true mob cannot be convicted OF
murder; but such as arc participants in
it, if detected as many of them can and
may be, can be punished on conviction
by fine and Imprisonment as accessories.
The punishment suggested by the Chron-
icle is un-Rcpublcan and un-American,
and carries us back to the old days OF
attainder.
The Chronicle yields the very point at
issue by saying that mob cannot be
punished with proper severity because OF
its numbers. That idea carried out to
the full recognizes the rights of anarchy
and the impotence of law; and we are
sure the laws are not impotcnt of the
rood people who will stand up to them
