The south's Progress.


The Manufacturers Record of December
10 says: The organization of new manufac
turing enterprises in the South goes steadily
on, notwithstanding the severe financial strin-
gency which restricts all business operations
throughout the country. The indications are
favorable for an early improvement in money
matters, and then we may look for very de-
cided increase in activity throughout the
South With money troubles promptly settled
the coming spring would show greater devel-
opments than have yet been seen in this Sec
ton. During the week there have been
organized a $4,000 nail works company at
Salem, Va; $50, 900 lumber company at
Pulaski. Va; 1000 lumber company and
$4,000 lumber company in Florida; a
$780, 600 manufacturing company in Lynch

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. l0.-The city
was excited yesterday over the issuance of a
license to James Hurst, white man, with
considerable property and four children, to
Mary Angelina johnson, colored woman.
When the wedding guests assembled in the
parlors last night the presents were spread
out on table and the groom waited in the
parlor with the minister. Angles footsteps
were heard descending the stairs. Some one
told her she was wanted in rear room, and
she went there. to find Jas. Russell, colored,
an old flame, who had been thrown over for
Hurst.
He urged her not to throw herself away on
any poor white trash, but to marry him.
Angles heart softened, and she told Russell
,to come along and they would be married by
the minister Hurst had hired. When Angie
appeared leaning on the arm of Russell the
guests were surprised. She announced:
''Dar; Il be wedding here to night, people.
but Jim Hurst won't be the groom. Mr.. Rus
sell and / will be married. | don't want any
white trash husband
Hurst said he would not pay the minister
and the party broke up, the guests carrying
away the presents they had brought. Hurs
tried to get at Russell to thrash him, but was
held back by his friends. Hurst has $4,000
in the bank, while Russell is a laborer of nc
means, and very black.

The Mckinley Bill and Wages.

The new tariff put duties high on earthen
ware, linseed oil, steel, iron, thread, wool anC
woolens in order, it was said, TO enable EN-
poyers in these industries to increase wages.
Prices have been increased, but not wages
Thursdays dispatches from many points indi
Gated that instead of being put up, wages are
being put down.
The pottery bosses at Trenton, for example,
have given their employees notice that wages
will be reduced. The American paint works
at Fall liver, Massachusetts, will shut down
for an indefinite period. The Oliver Iron
and Steel Mills of Pittsburg, Pa, were closed
Thursday morning, throwing 5000 hands out
of employment, and the same number OF
hands went on strike Wednesday at the Clark
Thread Mills at Newark, New Jersey.
The house that circulated the forged ex-
tracts from the London Times during the
campaign of 1888 failed some time ago from
a ''heavy drop in the satinet Market and
since the passage of the Mckinley tariff the
president of the Protective Tariff League and
controlling stakeholder in the Rittenhouse
Wooden Manufacturing Company has failed
by reason of his having bought $1,000, 900
worth of wool for tariff rise.

nelaware,s Able Senator.

Hon. George Gray, of Delaware, has
participated in the debate against the infa-
nous Force bill in the Senate. Mr.. Gray
has shown himself ready debater, and
evinced considerable legal acumen in his
examination of the measure pending before
the Senate His exposure Of the obnox-
ious character of the dimiciliary visits au-
thorized by the bill, was surprise to Mr..
Hoar and other friends of the measure,
who professed to believe that that part OF
it had been stricken out. Mr.. Hoar al
leged that it was the fault of the printer
that it was retained in the bill, but subse-
quently admitted that it might have been
his own fault Mr.. Gray's speech COM
manded the attention of the Senators gener-
ally, and made plain the fact that Delaware,
though only half represented in the Senate,
may still feel commendable pride In hav-
ing so able representative in the upper
house of Congress.

The Delamater Failure.

The firm of Delamater Il Co., bankers,
of Meadville, Pa, failed on Friday OF last
week. and the bank is closed The firm is
composed of G. B. Delamater and two sons,
Thomas A. and George Wallace Delamater,
the latter being the late Republican candl-
date for Governor. There was over $780,
900 of the states money on deposit, and
there are judgments against the trm Tor
Sl0O. 900 that were entered up with the
assignment. Besides, the treasurer Of
Crawford county had $4,000 on deposit,
the sheriff of the county $1,000, and the
prothonotary 81 200, Altogether the failure
is for over 100000. There are number
of causes contributing to the failure, but
the chief one was the campaign expenses
of George Wallace Deamater. He and
his father, it is said, spent 5000, and
they must have calculated upon getting
whole somehow by the influence oil the
Governorship 1t is well for the state
treasury of Pennsylvania that Delamater
was not chosen. There might have been
another Quay affair, with no friends to
make good the deficit As it is, says the
Philadelphia Record, ''there are some dark
chapters in the story of the failure, and it
will require vast deal of calculation on
Senator Delamater's part to convince his
personal and political friends whom he has
imposed upon that they have not been
shamefully treated by him..

A Break for Freedom.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Dec. 6.-Paul Kappes,
Young business man Of this place, who was
arrested while robbing a grocery store in
town, and two alleged horse thieves, who
gave their names as James and Charles Long,
and who were awaiting trial at the January
term of court, broke out of Jail last night.
There is another horse thief in Jail, who was
sick. Under pretense of visiting him Kappes
entered his CELL and sawed off one of the iron
bars of the window, making an opening of
about eight inches. Through this the trio
crawled and gained the yard, which is sur
rounded by a wall 20 feet in height. Here
they must have received help from the out
side for a rope half an inch thick, with knots
tied in it, was found hanging from the wall
The rope was fastened to a peg on the inside
by the convicts. tits not known which direc
ton they took. The remaining horsethief,
who refused to accompany them on the plea
that he was innocent and would stand trial,
told the sheriff that they went toward Me-
chanicstown, Md. Sheriff Taughe nbaugh and
a posse ofamen were securing the country all
night and today, but their efforts were fruit
less It is now believed that they left in
team, as stranger hired a team at a livery
in town last night, and returned with it this
morning, and left on the first train. The
other prisoners say they knew of the scheme,
but would not leave.
A despatch from Gettysburg on the 9TH
says Paul Kappes, one of the conyicts who
escaped from the Jail at this place on Friday
night, was captured this afternoon at his
uncle's house. not more than half mile from
town, by Chief of Police Meyers and Officer
Wilson. Suspicion was aroused by the
mysterious actions around the house today.
On inquiry the authorities found out from
mo-, blrr ybp MO DRINK that the had
remained there all night, but that the horse
thieves had left early this morning. A dill.
ligent search was necessary to reveal kappes'
place of concealment, as he was between the
floor Of the garnet and the ceiling of the room
below, with the boards fastened in their
original position. Kappes uncle and two
brothers were also arrested and placed in
Jail, Kappes and the one brother being put in
irons.

The Republican leaders in Congress give
no heed to the voice of the people as ex-
pressed so emphatically last month. They
seem to have been seized with mad
haste 10 fasten npon the people every
measure that was condemned by them.
The second session had scarcely begun be-
fore the Lodge Force bill was called up,
and there seems disposition to force an
apportionment bill basedupon the unreliable
returns of the English head of the Census
Bureau, Porter. Although a score OF
bills were presented in the House TO re
duce some of the unnecessary taxation
imposed by the Mckinley bill, there has
been no haste shown to consider them,
and it is likely they will not come from
the committees where sent, but die there.
