We spent a few hours in MancheS-
ter, one day this week and were
quite agreeably surprised to see so
many substantial evidences ofgrowth
and prosperity in the place. A num-
ber of handsome brick store houses
have taken the places of the old
frame ranges of a few years ago, and
several others are to be erected dur
ing the coming summer. Handsome
new residences are to be seen all over
the place, many old ones have been
frightened up with fresh coats Of
paint. The new bank recently open
ed by Messrs. Thompson & Wilkin-
son has quite a handsome little build
ing, both inside and out, as has also
the Bank of Manchester, which has
been in successful operation for two
or three years. The town has a
splendid system of water works. Ev-
cry business and dwelling house is
supplied from the system with pure
clear spring water. The Stone Fort
Paper Co., with its three mills, manu-
featuring news, book, cover and
wrapping papers, and wood pulp, is
the largest enterprise of the place,
but the spoke, handle and stave fac
tory is also doing quite lucrative
business. The railroad company is
getting material on the ground for a
new depot, which is much needed
improvement. Altogether the place
shows more evidences of thrift and
prosperity than any small town we
have ever seen. 1t has the best and
most solvent set of merchants it has
ever known in its history, and they
are all enjoying good trade. Right
here we want to whisper little
secret into the ears of McMinnville
merchants, tO-wit: Manchester is
drawing considerable trade from the
Viola section of this comfy. In
view of this fact it might be well for
McMinnville merchants to look after
the matter of road improvement be.
tween this place and Viola.

Tennessee Woolen Mills.

A Lebanon correspondent writes
the American as follows:
"The stockholders of the Tennessee
Woolen Mills have been called to
meetat the court house here OH March
6, for the purposeof organization, and
the election of officers of the compa-
ny. The mills are located at Nc
Minnville, and were formerly the
property of Cantrell & Faulkner.
After the failure of the firm, this
company bought the mills, paying
therefor $4,000. The capital stock
of the company was fixed at $50, 900,
and of this amount $35, 900 has already
been subscribed, an amount which it
is thought will be sufficient to run the
mills. 1t is not known who the of
ficers of the company will be, but il is
thought that BIr. G. E. Cartwright
will be made General Manager, and
Mr.. Bailey Cantrell Secretary and
Treasurer, these being the two prin-
cipal offices"

THE STORM.
Great Damage from Wind and Hail
Last Tuesday.

a severe wind and hail storm swept
over various portions of Tennessee
last Tuesday, leaving great destruc-
tion in its path in many towns and
country sections.
At half past three o'clock in the
morning the storm struck Browns
vile, in the western part of the state
unroofing many residences and bus
iness houses. The rain which fol-
lowed greatly damaged many stocks
of goods. The loss at Brownville is
estimated at $4,000. Great damage
was also done through the country
near Brownsville, and one woman
was killed.
At one o'clock in the afternoon two
spans of the railroad bridge over the
Tennessee river at Johnsonville
were wrecked by the wind.
About dark on Tuesday night a
terrific wind and hail storm passed
over Humbolt, destroying several
houses, and shattering the windows
in numbers of the others.
The storm passed over Smith coun-
ty in the morning, doing
considerable damage at Caathage,
Rome, and other places.
The railroad depot at Winchester
was unroofed. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were broken at every
point touched by the storm, OF
storms, as there seems to have been
several of them abroad in the state
on that day.
Some damage is also reported from
various points in Arkansas, Ken
lucky and Ohio.
The Tennessee and Cumberland
rivers are both rising rapidly.

has been informed that morning paper

any such decision. 49, :"

WASHINGTON, d. o., March ll.-The
Ways and Means Committee has not
been progressing rapidly In tho prepar'
alton Of the Mckinley bill. The reason
OF this is tho divergence Of views on the
part OF certain members OF the majority
in regard 10 particular schedules. 1t Is
understood that four OF the Republican
members OF the committee are In favor
OF reporting u bill with free sugar and a
bounty as one Of its features; one mem.
Der is opposed to any cut at all in the
sugar duty; ono wants a small cut and
no bounty, and two want To make quite
n heavy cut with no bounty. With
things in this situation, tho proposition
to leave this matter for settlement In the
House is receiving serious Considera.
tion. AHlS q.
Another proposition, and one moro
likely to be adopted, is to formulate a
bill passing over the disputed schedules
md have these arranged in series OF
caucuses embracing all the Republicans
in the House. Then, II a diversity OF
opinion should exist among the men,
bers themselves 30 as to preclude Bct.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 11.-At
the meeting OF the Pan-American con-
ference yesterday report was received
from the committee appointed to con.
slider the best means Of extending and
the facilities for commercial,
postal and telegraph communication be-
tween the several countries that border
upon the Cult of Mexico and the Car
ibean sea. The committee says the tel.
egraphic service meets all requirements,
and is to ba considered satisfactory.
Cable communications are by two lines
from the United States to the Republics
OF the South. Present rates make it
practically impossible to do business over
these lines, and the committee recon-:
mend that steps be taken to secure a
moderate scale OF charges. This failing,
then charters should be granted to in
dependent cable companies, the maxi
mum tolls to be fixed in the charters. q
The committee says that plans have
been discussed by capitalists in this
country for the establishment Of direct
and rapid steamship service between
Tampa, Fla, Mobile, Ala, and the ports
Of Colon, Port ,Limon, Costa Rica, and
Greytown, Nicaragua. Such aline would
shorten the time OF transporting mails
from New York or Chicago to Colon to
six and a half days, the steamers making
stoppages enroute to Port, Limon and
Greytown. Similar lines connecting
New, Orleans with Caribbean's ports are
suggested by the committee: - s.;
The committee, iu conclusion, recon.
mends to all nations bordering on the
Gull Of Mexico and the Caribbean sea
the granting Of government aid for the
establishment. OF tirst-class ship service
between their several ports on such
terms as they may mutually agree upon
with reference, to the service required:
