1t there is any business where the i'm
portance of little things is almost every
day forced on the attention, that busl-
ness is farming. Many a farmer
knows from sad experience what it is to
lose some, if not all of his crop, not
from bad weather, but from machine
that looked well in a warehouse, but
failed TO work in the field. The best
precaution against disaster in harvest
time is Deering binder or mower.

WHERE THE MONEY is.

If any argument was needed to show
that the principal part of the money
wealth of this country is horded IN the
rich, manufacturing states, a recent re-
port of the comptroller of the currency
would convince anyone of the truthful
ness of the statement. His report on
the distribution of the money of the
country, as shown by the condition of
the banks, including the capital, sur
plus, undivided profits and idividual de-
posits, shows the following:

John Williams tcolored), after being at
liberty for two years, having escaped from
Shuman's chain-gang April 1, 1888, where
he was serving out a sentence of twelve
months imposed by Judge Harden, was
arrested yesterday morning by Deputy
Sheriff Humphreys, of Magistrate Rus
sells court, after lively chase
Since his escape from the chain-gang
Williams has been in the city frequently,
but the officers were unable to locate him
Last Saturday Simon Desser, one of the
chain-gang men, met Williams in Yama-
craw and tried to arrest him. Williams
drew knife and advanced on Hesser, and
the officer pulled the trigger of his pistol,
but the cartridge failed to explode, and
Williams made his escape.
Yesterday morning Officer Humphreys.
who was on the lookout for Williams, saw
him going down jefferson street, and started
after him. Williams is n desperate Grim
inal, by reputation, and the officer used
caution in approaching him. The negro
went up Jefferson street to State, and,
crossing State, went to West Broad street,
and as he was turning the corner of Mar
garet street the officer. who was behind him,
showed pistol in his face and said, "You
are my prisoner
Williams was surprised and looked at the
officer quizzically. The pistol almost
touched his forehead and the determined
look of the officer told him that If he did
not obey the situation would be pretty
serious for him. After recovering from
his surprise Williams said, doggedly:
What do you weutw
81 want YOU was the officers reply, aud
a pair of handouts we're slipped over one of
Williams wrists The negro looked at the
officer and then a. the shining barrel of the
pistol which was leveled at his head. He
was holding his coat in the other hsnd, and
seemed to be meditating whether TO go with
the officer or not.
Put yonr hand in that handcuff," or
dered the officer
AT this juncture another negro ran up,
and asked the officer not to shoot Williams.
Williams did not move a muscle, and was
watching the officer closely. The officer
again ordered him to put his hand in the
handcuff, and twas not done until the click
OF the pistol was heard and
Williams calmly but reluctantly placed his
hand III the cuff and allowed it to be locked.
The coat which he had under his arm inter-
fered with the handouts, but Williams re-
fused to put it down until it was taken
from him and then rock was found in one
OF the pockets. He was taken to Magistrate
RusselPs office, and when questioned he adj
mitted that he had escaped from the chain
gang. He said he left on account of cruel
treatment, and had been living in the Fort
ever since.
A crowd followed the officer and prisoner
on the way to the magistrates office, and a
good many people thought that Williams
had killed somebody. A committal was
made out and officer Humphreys took the
prisoner to Jail, where he will remain until
the chain-gang guard comes for him.

A special meeting of the city council will
be called tomorrow night, at which it is
pretty well settled that ]. A. G. Carson viii
be elected to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation Of David Wells.
A committee OF three, consisting of Alder
men Cam, Haines and Nichols was appoint
ed by the caucus, which decided to select Mr..
Carson, to call on him and urge him to &C.
cept, and the committee has received his
acceptance.
It has leaked out that P. D. Daffin came
very near being the new alderman, and it
is surprise to him and his friends outside
the caucus how he was fioored. From two
reliable sources it is understood that he had
majority of the caucus vote.
THE VOTE IN THE CAUCUS.
One statement ia that Mr.. Dafin had
seven Of the eleven votes, and another is
that he had six, and, the minority being a
rather large one, advantage was taken of it
W suggest some one VINO would command O
fuller vote OF the caucus
One of Mr.. Daffin's friends said last night
that when Mr. Daffin had 3 clear majority
OF the vote of the caucus it should have
been followed by a motion to make his
nomination unanimous, thus assuring his
election.
A member of the council, when asked by
MORNING NEWS reporter who will be
elected tomorrow night, said 1t has been
mutually agreed by the committee to with
hold the name Of the gentleman decided
upon, although the alderman admitted that
the only reason for secrecy lies in the fact
that the gentleman's election is not assHed
Mr.. CARSON LIKELY TO BE ELECTED.
1t could not be learned last night that
Mr. Daffin'S friends in the council will op-
pose Mr.. Carson, although it is known that
Mr.. Daffin is not in the best humor after
learning that he had a majority vote of the
caucus.
It is understood that in the event of Mr..
Carsons election Alderman McDonough
will be given the Craftsmanship of the water
committee, and Mr.. Carson will take Mr..
McDonoughs place as chairman of the as
sessment committee.
Mr.. Carsons friends say that he will be a
progressive alderman, aud a valued addi-
zion to the board. Mr.. Carson is the Junior
member of the firm of j. P. Williams &
Co., naval stores and cotton factors, and a
representative man in commercial circles.
