CONFIDENCE UNsHAKEN.
The COuntry's Business Continue in q
Healthy Condition.

Business failures occurring through
out the country last week as report
ed to R. G.. Dun 6 Co.: For the
United States 252, Canada 33. total
of 2S5 against POI last week and 266
the week previous; same week last
year 274. Much has happened of
late to depress business and shake
confidence, and yet confidence is not
shaken, and the volume of business
Is still close to the greatest ever at
tanned.
The bank failures at Boston caus-
ed scarcely ripple of excitement.
The failure of the speculative banks
at Berlin has been industriouly used
to depress stocks the past week, but
the average price of shares is higher
than week ago.
This country begins to realize that
with the only supplies of grain to
keep the millions in Europe from
starvation, besides meats, cotton
and oil, which other countries must
have, the United States is in a strong
or position than any other nation
and need not quake at every Euro
pean alarm.
Prices are settling downward,
with the enormous production, but
the fact that such production con-
tinues shows that the low prices are
not ruinous. The alarm about the
money markets has passed, and no
disturbance is apprehended this year.
Industries are, on the whole well en-
ployed, and it is especially notewor-
thy this week that there is better
tone in the branches eff trade which
have been most Embarrassed.

Thursday The'question- of the next
speakership was warmly discussed
and the fact developed that there
was much opposition to Mr.. Mills.
There was not on the part of the
anti-Mills men an expression Of ia

McMillin as an assertion that they
would not support Mills. An adj
journment was taken until day

S. M. Warren, Jr., a revenue Off
GER of Wilson, made haul On some
blockade whiskey Thursday after
noon. He captured the owners and
entire outfit as they were crossing
the Yadkin River at Glenn's Ferry.
Mr.. Warren got in the wagon and
accompanied the two men to Win
ston, arriving here late last mis- hit.
The team, wagon and contents
were placed in charge of Near
thurs livery stable. The officer re-
tired at Hotel Quincy and during
the night dreamed that the owners
of his seizure had gone to the stable
and skipped with their team. Upon
awakening he proceeded to the sta
BILE to find that his dream was a real
ization. The men took their horses
out of the stalls and found entrance
through the gates of Messrs. P. H
Hanes & Co.'s factory lot, and then
made good their escape. The wag
on and its contents of ardent spirits
and an old double barrelled shot gun
are still in charge of the officer, but
the horses and owners. which are
said to hail from Yadkin county, are
not to be found.

The McDougald Murder Trial.


No less interesting developments
than on previous days since last
Wednesday mark the proceedings in
the great McDougald- Connolly trial
at Fayetteville.
The testimony of Edgar Gillespie,
who alleged that McDougald came
to his house April 22d, and called for
water and a towel between daybreak
and sun rise, has been weakened pos
sibly by reputation of bad charac-
ter, and the evidence of John Will
liams on yesterday, who alleges to
have occupied one room in the house
with Gillespie at that time, and that
neither Gillespie nor his wife were at
the house; while Stephen McLane
testified that Gillespie told him it
was McDougald.
