TTddesman's report Of new industries IS
tabIished in the southern states during the
first three months of 1891 shows total OF
$50 against s37 in the corresponding period
Of 1890, and 612 in the corresponding period
of 1859. The figures for the quarter show a
healthy and steady growth in the souths
material development. During the three
months there were established in the south
ern states agricultural implement works,
g barrel factories, IL boot and shoe
factories Il comparatively new industry in
the south, only 2 having been establshed
in the first quarter Of 1889; brewerles, !
bridge works, 9 car works, 10 canning FAC
tories, IS cotton and wooden mills (which Is
somewhat below the number in the CORE

ponding period Of 1890: ) potteries, one roll
ing mill company, So street railway lines
incorporated, 70 tanneries, 81 water works
chartered, 14l wood working plants and ~
miscellaneous industries.
THE PHOSPHATE EXCITEMENT.
The phosphate excitement in the south is
shown by the fact that thirty-two new COM
panies were organized during the quarter,
nineteen of which we're formed IN Florida.
The extraordinary activity in railroad
building in the south is evidenced by the
fact that during the past three months
ninety-three new railroad companies were
incorporated, of which Is we're in Virginia,
13 in North Carolina, u in Georgia, 10 in
Alabama, Z each in West Virginia, Texas
and South Carolina; and II in Tennessee.
The TrddeSnldn SAYS that the present in
dications point to continued activity in the
southern states in all the industrial
branches, and the ensuing year gives more
hattering promise of substantial develop
meut in manufacturing growth than any
previous year, a most gratifying feature OF
this being the different character of the new
industries.

AN ANCIENT W RICK.
Discovery of What May Fave Been a
Ship of One OF the Popes.


Ship of One OF the Popes.
From the Neto York Home Journal
A most interesting discovery has just been
made at the old Cirque Port Of Sandwich.
The Stour, q river which has perhaps more
frequently changed its course than any
other English river, has lately entered an
old channel near its confluence with Peg
we'll bay, laying bare wreck which has
probably occupied its present position for
several centuries.
This vessel is one of foreign build, and
the wood is in fair state of preservation,
owing to the fact that it has for many years
been entirely embedded in the sand 1t is
q matter of loal history that a little over
300 years ago, in the the reign of Henry
VIII, an italian vessel belonging to one of
the popes sank at the entrance to the then
flourishing port OF Sandwich.
The sand silted round it, forming great
bank, and blocking up the entrance to the
haven, aud it is recorded that from this
date the prosperity of Sandwich as a seaport
greatly declined. IL is believed, with some
show of reason, that che ancient wreck now
discovered is identical with the Papal Car
yke, OF Carrick, which sank at this spot in
the Reign Of Henry VIII.

DOWN ON TIE ALLIANCE.
New England Farmers Don't Want
Any Branches.

any Ii G-@NLCI-
Boston, March 25.-The Herald has dis
patches from several points IN New Eng
land, voicing the sentiment Of the farmers
on the proposed alliance movement IN the
eastern states.
A dispatch from Pittsheld says 1t Is the
sentiment Of leading Berkshire county
farmers that the New England tour Of the
alliance leaders. Messrs. Kyle and Simpson,
will be practically failure.
Henry A Barton, Jr., Of Dalton, ex-naster
Of the state grange, said 70 Herald reporter:
81 do not believe that the state grange
is at all in sympathy with the movement l
am Of the opinion that farmers generally,
and am acquainted with the leading mem
bers ali over the state, are not in favor OF
the alliance. Personally do not believe It
will be successful in New England
CAN'T AFFORD TO GO INTO IT.
Henry Noble Of Pittsfeld, an eI-member
Of the state board Of agriculture. who has
been leading farmer in Berkshire for
nearly half a century, said: 81 DO not see
how the New England farmers can AFFORD
TO go into this thing from political point
of view or any other"
Charles A. Mills Of Williamstown,
member of the present state board OF
agriculture, says: II am not in favor OF
the farmers alliance in New England Any
movement to make the farmers more
en- Dasse is. in my opinion, unpatriotic.
All classes and professions should work
together. ! do not believer organizing the
classes in this country"
CAN'T HELP NEW ENGLAND.
G. T. Dean Of Cheshire, president Of the
Berkshire Agricultural Society, says: Il
have taken much interest in this subject,
and do not see how the alliance can be Of
any benefit 20 New England
Leading farmers IN Southern Berkshire
express doubt about the success OF the ALI
ance in New England.
A dispatch from South birmingham, in
Middlesex county, says: Throughout this
section of the state there has developed
among the farmers but very little interest
in toe tour of the farmers alliance leaders.
One of the best-informed members Of the
Patrons of Husbandry in this section. and one
who occupies position Of prominence in the
councils Of the state and national grange, said
that he regarded the alliance movement at
the west as a rope of said with not sufficient
adhesiveness to hold together for a great
length Of time. The alliance movement
will never be a success in New England, he
said, where the farmers feel we'll satisfied
with what they are accomplishing through
the Patrons Of Husbandry.'
