swift Running Elevators.

The swift running elevator is one of the
curiosities of the present time. The COM
petition of builders and experts has sue
ceeded in accelerating the speed until in
some instances it has reached 500 feet a
minute. A few years ago 200 feet was con-
sidered very rapid travelling. IL is en-
couraging to hear from an expert that
there is not much actual danger in the
modern swift running elevator. II an ac-
cident should happen the advice is to keep
cool and remain still until the car reaches
the end of its journey. Then IL will stop
quietly of its own accord. Chicago

Il THREE-CORNERED FIGHT.

Two Men and a Woman Try for About
an Hour to Kill Each Other.
CHICAGO, Nov. l.-Wm. J. Miller and
his housekeeper, Mrs. Albert Polio, we're
to have been married tonight, but we're
prevented, after an extraordinary three
cornered fight, in which the third party
was the divorced husband OF the would
be bride. Miller is painter and recent
ly broke his leg in a fall from ladder.
To-day, while he was in bed nursing the
damaged limb and conversing with
Mrs. Polio about the wedding, the former
husband of the housekeeper suddenly
broke into the room with yell of rage.
Polio grabbed Miller by the broken leg
and jerked him from the bed, breaking
the healing fracture. A heavy hammer
used by the latter was on the floor, and
Polio seized it and dealt Miller blow.
Frantic with pain, Miller attempted to
defend himself and the woman Joined in
the melee. She got hold of the hammer
and commenced using it on Polio. Blows
we're showered on his head and body
and the blood from the wounds of the
two men covered the clothing of the
three and spattered over the furniture.
For almost an hour the struggle con-
tinued, until the police, who had been
told of the affair by some children, en-
tered the room and found the three
graphing and still striving for su-
premacy. Miller will die. Polio is un-
der arrest, seriously injured.

Excitement Oh Wall Street.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-The excitement
to-day in Wall street was greater than on
any previous day since the present de-
cline began, and while the downward
movement in general was not so great,
an unusually heavy drop in the Willard
stocks was made from a lack of move
ment in the others. The power of the
bears was concentrated upon the Willard
shares, and stocks as rule would un-
doubtedly have advanced had it not been
for the depressing influence Of the slump
in those shares. The movement proba-
bly, winds up the last combination in
Wall street. The stocks being we'll dis
tributed and the general business of the
country in prosperous condition, which
the adjustment of the existing railroad
difficulties has brought about, and an
easier money market assured, there will
be an improvement in the stock market.
The closing was better for most stocks,
though few were away down.

was known that it was real tragedy the
grand stand was deserted by the ladies'
Police we're quickly on the ground and
arrested the three men, who
were Dick Howard and Robert
Howard brothers and their brother-in-
law, James Bickerstaff. There were four
balls in Dawson, two of which inflicted
fatal wounds. The cause of the shoot
ing had its origin in family trouble,
Dawson having married and deserted
Miss Howard, sister of the two men
named. The parties all have strong
friends. The prisoners have secured
eminent counsel, refuse to talk further
than to claim that they we're justified
and ask suspension of public opinion.
Dawson was the son of Hon. w. G. Daw-
son, prominent and wealthy citizen of
Alabama, now residing in Eufalla. The
Towards belong to one of the oldest and
most respectable families in Georgia.
The body of Dawson was examined by
a coroner's jury tonight and the inquest
was postponed until o'clock.

The Stock Market Tirner.

New sYoRK, Nov. 12. - The stock
market to-day showed a materially bet
ter feeling both in the street and outside
and there was most gratifying conf
dence displayed. The action of the
clearing house committee in coming to
the relief of the banks in difficulty was
the means of restoring the confidence of
many, while the improvement in the sit
uation abroad was also powerful factor
to that end. Not only was the active
stocks much higher all day long, but the
inactive specialties which yesterday
could not find buyers at any price, to-
day we're taken at advanced figures, and
the heavy slump in those shares was in
great measure made up. Liquidation
in the Wizards is now believed to have
marked the elimination of efforts to
force complete liquidation in the street,
as these stocks had resisted the force ap-
piled for much longer time than any
other group of stocks on the list. The
impression is that now the situation
has been changed for the better and the
improvement in the condition of affairs
will be followed by higher prices all
along the line.

Il have known Wheelock and Driscoll

that has occurred between that time and

than any other newspaper in the United

up as dictatOrs and censOrs on all questions
OF public or private character. They
have willfully misrepresented every inter
est in the northwest and, l am firmly con-
vinced, would blackmail Jesus Christ, il
there was dollar in it for themselves.
They think they have got possession of the
earth and now they ara reaching out for
some of the planets. We have got to have
a newspaper in the northwest which will
give the news and represent the interests
Of the northwest fairly and impartially.
Wheelock and Driscoll think that their

that they have got to be fair or get out of

Killed on the Race Track.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Nov. 11.--A terrible
sensational tragedy occurred to-day on
the race track at the Chattahooche VAL
ley exposition, now in progress in this
city, which has created intense excite
ment, owing to the prominence of the
parties involved. Among the attractions
Of the day was q gentlemen's trotting
race in which several we'll known gentle
men entered. Among them was T.. G
Dawson of Glenville, Ala. There were
probably $4,000 persons on the grounds
and the grand stand was packed with Ia
dies and children. Immediately after
the close OF the race, Dawson drove into
the open space Immediately in the rear
Of the judges stand, directly in front of
the grand stand and got out of his sulky.
In a few seconds the crowd was startled
by the report Of pistol and the sight Of
Dawson running, pursued by three men
who were firing at him. Dawson was
seen trying to get his pistol from his
pocket as he ran, and as soon as he se-
cured the weapon he turned on his pur-.
suers and returned the fire. Some thir-
teen shots in all were fred. Dawson fell
and expired in few minutes. The at
tack was 80 sudden and in such public
place that many imagined it was q sham

alone prevented g panic. AS soon as it

He Says the Gerrymander was Large
lY the Cause of the Repub-

Bad Effect,
The Presidents Proclamation.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-The following
is the proclamation by the president of
the United States:
BY the grace and favor of Almighty
God the people of this nation have been
led to the closing days of the passing
year, which has been full of blessings Of
peace and comforts of plenty. Bounti-
ful compensation has come to us for the
work OF our minds and of our hands in
every department of human industry.
Now, therefore, l, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States of America,
40 hereby appoint Thursday, the 9th
day or the present month & November,
to be observed as day of Norayer and
thanksgiving; and I do invite the people
on that day to cease from their labors, to
meet IN their accustomed houses of wor-
ship and to join in rendering praise and
gratitude to our benefcent creator for
the rich blessings he has granted us
as a nation, and invoking con-
tlnuance OF His protection and
grace for the future. I commend to
my fellow-cltizens the privilege of re-
membering the poor, homeless and sor-
rowful. Let us endeavor to merit the
promised recOmpense. In testimony
whereof, have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the city of Wash
ington this eighth day of November, in
the year of our Lord, one thousand,
eight hundred and ninety and OF the in
dependence of the United States the one
hundred and fifteenth.
(Signed) BENJAMIN HARRISON.

y The Decker T. Howell Failure.

New YORK, Nov. 12.-The assignee of
Decker, Howell & Co., William Nelson
Cromwell, makes the following state
ment: The liabilities are between $1O,-
100000 and SIG, 5,0OO, 900, most of which
is due to banks and bankers on loan g..
Theiassets are largely in excess of the
liabilities and nearly every loan is we'll
sesrred by collateral. The firm deliv-
cred to me as part sof its assets about
8, 100000 Of securities in a box. This
goes to show that the failure was not due
toIack Of securities, but to the extreme
money stringency, which prevented the
firm from completing its daily amount of
borrowings. In the current management
Of its business it was the practice Of the
firm to borrow several miliions each day
on call in addition to the time loans

gained 1900 votes during the cam.
paign, Which lasted but three weeks.
That was even more than had any right
to expect. It is certainly very gratifying
to me-" "What do you think of the re-
suit in the state?" was asked. THE re-
publican victory on the state ticket was
splendid. The unfairness of the gerry
mander was manifested most clearly by
the recent election. The republicans
carried the state by popular majority
of over 10000, while the democrats Sc
cured two-thirds of the representatives
in congress-, and the republicans one
third. This shows the effect of the
gerrymander very clearly" HAS the
cause of protection suffered any by the
recent democratic victories throughout
the country?" Protection is stronger
to-day than it ever was, and it will con-
tinue to grow in favor. The tariff bill,
which was the issue IN the campaign, was
but three and one half weeks old when
the election occurred, and many of it's
provisions have not yet gone into effect.
The bill was misunderstood and shame
fully misrepresented The latter was
done by the importers, many of whom
are not citizens of the United States and
are free traders" -
"What will be the future of the bill?"
II am sure that it will win in the end.
All great measures have met with tenn
porary defeat. The emancipation of the
slaves and the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the constitution may be
pointed to as examples. The same issue
will come to the front in 1892, and it
will then be better understood. Our de-
feat this year is not greater than it was
in 1882, two years after Garfield was
elected. The republicans have not had
majority in the house Of representatives
but twice since 1875. We have little
to fear in future if we have free ballot
and fair count" Major Mckinley came
to the city on business aud number of
friends called upon him in the evening.
He said he would take rest for a few
days and leave for Washington in about
two weeks so as to be ready for the open
ing of congress on December LIST. When
asked if there would be any important
legislation enacted during the session, he
said that he did not know of any. s'We
did not leave much undone the last ses-
sion, he remarked, with smile. Major
Mckinley feels confident that the senate
will pass the Lodge federal election bill
before the close of the session.

Terrible LOSS of Life.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The British tor
pedo cruiser Serpent has foundered at q
point twenty miles north of Cape Finis-
terre. Out of total of $50 souls on
board only three were saved. The Ser
pent went on the rocks during a storm
Monday night. A heavy wind prevailed
at the time of the disaster. Owing to
the violence of the storm it was impossi
BILE to send assistance from the shore.
Tremendous seas swept the decks of the
doomed vessel, carrying away group
after group of the unfortunate men on
board. The news of the wreck was con-
veyed to Corunna, distance of sixty
miles, oyer mountain roads. The Ser
pent's complement was 40 officers and
mv2> The others on board were going
ont to relieve men now on ship at an
African station.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
MADRID, Nov. 12.-An official telegram
from Corunna says the Serpent was
wrecked off Cape Buoy, near the village
Of Camarinas. There we're 276 persons
aboard, of whom only three we're saved.
The bodies of three ladies have been
washed ashore. The governor has Or
dered the authorities at Camarinas to
render every assistance in their power.
AN 1LL-MADE VESSEL.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Serpent was
built after the ideas of Admiral Cooper
Key, who insisted upon immense horse
power, which, according to previous no.
tions, was out of all proportion to her
displacement. She could maintain a
speed of II knots an hour. Lord Bras
sey, in his Naval Annual, adversely criti-
cised the vessel. He said the economy
of weight had been carried to excess in
the construction of the ship, that her
plating was too thin and that her arma-
ment was overdone. In the seaway, he
said, her heavy top weight would be a
detriment to her speed and would undu-
ly strain the hull. The vessel was 225
feet long, while she had draught of
only 14112 feet. The relatives of the crew
of the Serpent and the dock yard people
there are full of gossip about the lost
cruiser. It is claimed she was
unseaworthy and that she broke down
on all her trial trips. Commander Ross
is said to have been in the habit Of treat
ing his men with undue severity. The
Serpent started last Saturday on her
maiden voyage. She was commissioned
for service in Africa last June, but was
detained by several mishaps to her ma
chhery. She and her consorts we're
cordially disliked by the SER
WGs The Serpent has q bad record.
Sheshroke down more than once in the
mRnenEsrs of 1883. Several admirals
condemned the whole class as crank.
The Lloyds agent at Corean telegraphs:
1T appears that the Serpent was running
for shelter in one of the bays north of
Finesterre. It is not known whether she
fo1ndered or grounded on the fearful
reefs that are continuation of the
Galician mountains. If she foundered,
nobody need be surprised but the ad,
miralty. # she grounded on the reefs,
she could not stand minutes battering
in the heavy sea-"

Heavy Failure.
New YORK, Nov. 11.-Decker, Howell
& Co., New York brokers, failed to-day.
w. Nelson Cromwell, assignee for the
firm, made the following statement con-
cerning its affairs this afternoon: "The
liabilities are about $10,000,00O and the
assets at present market prices larg ely
exceed that sum. The liabilities are due
almost entirely to banks and bankers or
loans made in the course of business and
are we'll secured, The cause Of the sus-
pension was inability of the firm to bor-
row the necessary amount of cash re-
quired in the days business. The firms
transactions we're very large, it being
necessary to borrow several millions dai-
ly. The firm had abundant collateral to-
day and it was not for lack of security,
but inability to make it available, was
the sole cause. It was simply matter
of absolute inability to get money on the
best securities, owing to the extraordina-
ry money stringency now prevailing. As
securities are special line, there may be
disposition on the part of creditors to
sacrifice them on the market, but such q
course would be suicide. The character
of the securities show that
their price on the market is
far below their actual value
and If the creditors have good Judgment
to hold their securities, they will be am
ply protected" Joseph S. Decker, SEN
ior member of the firm, said: "Our fail
ure is due to the simple fact that we
could not get money to carry on our bus
mess. We had ample assets but could
not realize on them. The distress which
has been caused by our failure is not To-
cal; it is worldwide" The firm of Deck
or, Howell & Co. was one of the most
prominent On the stock exchange. It
was identified not only with Willard
stoc 8, but with the Standard Oil inter-
ests as we'll, aud also carried accounts Of
the biggest stock operating firm in Chi
cago. After the failure of the firm was
announced, the sales of stock under the
rule for its account were made in the Ed
ison general electric stock, which forced
the price down to 65, decline of 241@
points. A large amount of the Great
Northern preferred, Northern Pacific
common and preferred, North American,
Manitoba, Western Union, Wisconsin
Central and Missouri Pacific was also
sold under the rule for the firm.

President Bogrsm had retired within two

Order and complete peace prevailed in
Guatemala and the rest of the Central
American states, all assuming neutral
position in the matter, which is looked
upon as unimportant and merely local.

which it had. The assets of the firm
comprise largely what is known as Vii
lard securities and during the last few
days it has been impossible to get money
on them. But these securities have alb
solute value and merit, vastly above the
temporary price made under this abnor-
NAL decline. Shrewd investors are aware
of this and are buying up stocks to put
into vaults and take the rise that is sure
to follow. If creditors use good judg-
ment and do not act hastily, they will
not only be paid in full, butwill leave a
good surplus for the estate.
