Nashville, Sept. 24.-Thc General AS
scmbly has closed its extra session with
out taking any action either as to the abb
rogatiun Of the present contract between
the State and the lcssccs of tho convicts,
or as the to abolition Of the lease system.
In the Senate resolution providing that a
settlement of the prison question be left
to the Governor and State board of Pris-
on Inspectors was tabled.
The legislature having failed to do any
thing in the way of settlement. the AT
tention of the public is now turned to
Briccvillc *. +. Wade, State Supcrn-
tendent of Prisons said:
81 anticipate trouble. The sixty days
armistce expires on Sept "a, and at that
time you may look for another uprising.
bc'icve that the authorities ofthe State
will nave to again proceed to Anderson
county and by decisive action suppress
forever the miners outbreak against law
and order"
]. E. Goodwin, sub-lessec Of convicts at
Bricoyille, called upon Gov. Buchanan,
and asked him that he place some of the
atntc militia on gnard at that place, for
the event that All attempt he made to free
the convicts or injurc The property OF the
sub-lesseeS. Coy. Buchanan refused to
do so in The absence of any overt act on
the part of tho miners.
1t is thought here that if any attempt
he made to free the covcts, it will be
made by Kentucky miners, who could
recross the State line into kentucky be-
fore the Governor could bring ept the

THE WEATHER'S WORTH
Mtli,0nh of Dollars Each Day to the
Country.

New York, Sept. 2l.-Dun's weekly re-
view of trade says that the hot weather
at the west is worth to the country many
millions every day, Each clear ana
cloudless day places millions of bushels of
corn beyond the possibility of harm from
frost and great part Of the anticipated
crop is already safe. Large crops mean
that the farmers will he enabled to pur-
chase more freely of the products Of other
industries and will pay this fall a vast
amount of Indebtedness. In the four
months ending Sept, about aG}2 per cent.
of the mortgage debts on farms in Kansas,
az about 0,O00.00O had been paid. Sew
oral millions will thus be returned to the
lenders, who will powerfully affect all the
markets by their efforts to find new use
for their money. Meanwhile gold is also
coming from Europe, and though the
foreign banking institutions are doing
what they can in self defense to restrain
the movement they fail to prevent active
buying of American securities by foreign
investors. With money coming far stocks
and bonds as we'll rs for wheat and cot
topi aud with the liquidation of the farm

ness this fall are unuaually bright Aud
actual improvement is seen in nearly all

COMMITS SUICIDE.
Balmaceda ends his Career With a Pistol
Ball.

New YORK, Sept. 20.-The Herald s
Valparaiso special says ex-President
Balmaceda, of Chilli, shot himself through
the temple in his room at the Argentine
legation, in Santiago, at $50 a. m, Sun
day. The story became known here this
afternoon and created the greatest excite
meEt. Every part of the city this even
ing is brilliantly Illuminated, and on ev-
cry hand is heard the sounds Of rejoicing
Later accounts from The capital confirm
the sensational news and gives the de-
tails of his suicide
1t now seems that Balmaceda left Santi-
ago on August 20 last, in the hope of max
ing his escape from Chill, but seeing that
every avenue Of retreat was cut off lie re-
turned there on Sept: . aud went direct
to the Argentine Legation. Since his re-
turn to the Argentine Legation, in Sanii-
ago, Balmaceda has been in an extremely
nervous condioion.
ALL WERE FUTILE
All the different schemes Of flight were
considered by the hunted ex-Prcsident
Senior Urribura went to the theatre Sat-
urtlav night When he returned to the
Legation lie had long and earnest talk
with Balmaceda relative to the lattcr's
ideas, previously brochcd, also the ad-
visibility of giving himself up to the Jun
ia. Balmaceda and Senior Urribura
went to bed at midnight Sonora Urrbu
ria, about s n. IN. heard pistol shot in
the bed-r that had been neSignrd to
Bamaceda She notified her husband.
Upon breaking in the door of Balnlacc-
da's room it was found that lie had shot
himself. The body was still WARM.
There was gaping wound in the temple.
The body WAS undresscd and lay on the
bed The revolver was still held in his
right hand. Domingo roro, Balmaccda's
brother-in-law, soon arrived at the Lega-
ton.
san DIEGO, September 2l.--Thc news Of
cx-Prcsident Balmacada's suicide was
not kown to Captain Mannzin, of the
ltata, till it WAS communicated to him by
an Associate Press reporter.
"My God - he exclaimed, on being
told Of the tragedy, THAT was
what l had expected. There was no
chance for him o escape. You do not,
because you cannot, know the fury of
Chilean mob Under such circumstances
it would have been instntiahe. Ec would
certainly have been torn to pieces had be
been detected trying to escape"
