Opportunities for Investment.

1t is probable that large amount of money
which will be released by the annual settle
ments will seek investment in local securities
and real estate. AS the stocks of about 200
corporations are listed. there is a wide field in
which to operate, AS to real estate. every in
vestor knows that it is perfectly safe. With
such opportunities to make money at home 1t
is almost crime TO take it away to enrich out
siders. Protect and patroniZe home interests
should be the motto of every business man.

LIS Taking Rest preparatory to the Good
Times Coming.
A few of the produce commission merchants
opened up for few hours on New Years morn
ing to dispose of poultry that had been delayed
by snow blockades but with this exception
trade was altogether suspended. The supply of
turkey failed to come up to demand and prices
advanced sharply over the rates of Christmas
turkey. There was plenty on the way as ship-
pers have large faith in Pittsburg's absorbing
power in this line, in holiday times. but large
quantities failed to reach their destination in
time.
AS result of these vexatious delays the New
Years turkey was &c to 7c per pound more ex-
pensive than that eaten at Christmas. For the
balance of the week prospects are for cheap
poultry. especially il the weather continues
mild. The last week of 1889 proved one of the
best of the year to produce and live. stock
dealers Cereals and groceries have been quiet.
The leading jobbIng houses are spending the
New Year in stock taking.

General Booth, has written letter to the
Journal des Debats, in which he denies that

are not placed to the account of the general
budget OF the army. and asserts that General
Booth is the sole author of SIN Darkest Eng

Commissioner Smith has published reply to
General Booth, in which ho asserts that he un-
dertook the work as set forth in the book I'm

that the scheme was to be directed by a sepa--

TO PROTECT WORKMEN,
A Bill for the Benefit of Employees and
Employers.

Employers.
PARIS, Jan. 1.-The law promulgated to-day
TO prevent coercion and unjust dismissal of
workmen, was originally prepared soon after
the banquet given in honor of Gambetta by the
minor servants of the railway companies In
France. When Gambetta was Prime Minister
of France he decided that an engineer who had
saved a train at the risk of his own life should
be awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor.
The Senate, however, felt differently and
thought that the bill which has now been pro-
mulgated and was presented at the same time
as was the suggestion of the award, was too
radical
But since then strikes have been so frequent
in France and other, countries as to alarm the
Moderates and Conservatives into this act.
The bill secures advantages to the employees
and the employers. and provides that workmen
employers must give before discharging thom.

EuRMAN is INNOCENT.

ConcIusivs Evidence that He Had Nothing
to DO WIN Farmer Foote's Murder.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 2L-Additional facts
have been learned regarding the Foote
tragedy, which prove conclusively that
Lewis Furman had no hano in tho
atrocious murder. Mrs. Furman's con.
fession is true, exsapt so far as it re-.
lates to Furman. This is proved by tho
circumstances subsequent to the tra-
gedy. She is very cunning, and it is
the opinion Of the authorities engaged
on the case that in view of the fact chat
she made him a party to the crime in
her previous confession of the inquest
she felt that she must again bring him
into the affair in some manner.
Detective Black OF this city, who was
engaged by ex-Congressman S. G. Mil
lard to find evidence which would prove
the innocence of his client, says that
proceedings have been begun TO have set
aside the indictments against Furman,
as he can prove an alibi and show beyond
