NEW INDUSTRIES IN THE SOUTH.
Record for the First Quarter Of 1904
steady Growth.

steady Growth.
tBy telegraph to tho Dspatch.l
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, March 25.-The
Tradesman's report OF new industries es-
tablished in the southern States during
the first three months for 1891 shows to-
tai Of 853 against SS7 in the corresponding
period of 1890 and 612 in the correspond
ing period of 1889. The figures for the
quarter show healthful and steady growth
IN the South's material DEVELOPMENT.
During the three months there were es-
tablished in the southern States 6 agrlcul-
tural-Implement works; 6 barrel-factorles
II boot and shoe factories Ga comparative
ly new industry in the South, only two
having been established in the first quarter
of 1890, and one in the first quarter of
1880: breweries Il bridge manufactu-
ring establishment; 2 car-works; 10 can
ming factories; 45 cotton and woollen-
mills (Which is somewhat below the num-
Der established in the corresponding quar-
ter of 1890, but the distribution is general
Georgia leading with u. South Carolina
with 8, Texas with 7, and nearly every
other southern State being represented I;
IS large development and Improvement
companies organized, Texas leading with
light companies organized; % -four and
grist-mills AZ foundry and machine
shops. against 43 in 1890 and 45 in
1899 Crexas leading with 10; Virginia with
9, the balance being equally distributed);
Q blast-furnance companies organized,
against % in the corresponding period of
1880. and II in 1889; gas-works companies
organized; % ice-malufacturing plants;
53 mining and quarrylng companies incor-
ated; 4 nail-works; 8 oil-mills. against II
in the corresponding period OF 1890; pot
teries; / rolling-mIll company; SO street
railway lines Incorporated; II tanneries;
32 water-works chartered; 14l woodwork
ing plants, and 79miscellaneous industries.
The phosphate excitement in the South
is shown by the fact that 80 new compa-
MES were organized during the quarter, 10
of which were formed in Florida.
The extraor 1Inary activity in railroad
building in the South is evidenced by the
fact that during the three months 93 new
railroad companies were incorporated, of
which l3 were in Virginia, 13 in North Car
olina. II in Georgia, 10 i'll Alabama, each
in West Virginia, Texas, and South Caro-
lima. and IL in Tennessee.
The TrddesmGn says that the present in
dications point to continued activity in
southern States in all industrial branches.
and the ensuing year gives more flattering
promise of substantial development in
manufacturing growth than any previous
year. q most gratifying feature of this
being the diversified character of the new
industries.

A DEVELOPMENT AT NEW ORLEANS.
Interesting Story Anent tho Hennessey
Case Touching Record -Doctoring.

lBy telegraph 90 the Dispatchl
NEw ORLEANS, La, March 25.-The Pioa-
ytne this morning prints an interesting
story in support of a charge that the re-
cords of the Louisiana Flectric-Light Com
pany were dOctored in order to make il ap-
pear that the light at the corner of Basin and
GirOd streets was burning dimly at the time
Hennessey was slain. Martin Cash was an
employs Of the company and was recently
discharged. Be was among the witnesses
summoned before the grand jury. Cash
said he was a clerk appointed by the city,
but paid by the electric-licht company To
compare the police reports of lights with
the company's reports, investigate dis
crepancics. and make corrected light re-
port. lie was thoroughly posted as to the
work OF the trimmers andinspectOrs. The
light near his house Is on the same circuit
as the Girod-street light. He got home Of
ter II o'clock the night Hennessey was
killed, and when he passed the corner of
Glrod and Basin the light there was burn
ing brightly. In looking over his reports
next day be found that from 1920 to II the
light had been burning dimly, but that
subsequent 70 IL o'clock il was bright.
O'Malley came to him III November and
sought information touching the number
Of the Girod-street circuit, the inspector
who attended IL, and other particulars.
Each night the circuit-boOk was turned
over TO the Inspector, who then made his
entries. A typewriter copy for the main
Office and a letter-pTess copy for the works
was made in the morning. The book was
then turned over 10 Cash. and at the end
of the month Cash sealed with wire the
book Of reports and placed them on shelf
over his desk. Mr.. McGrath and the Su-
perintendent of the works were the only
persons having access TO the books.
About the beginning Of March Cash OBJ
served that the October book had been
tampered with. the wire seal being broken.
Mr.. Cash examined the book and found
that the figure 40 had been added after IL
in the report of Circuit No. Ton which
the Girod- and Basin-street light is To-
catcd) for October 18th. making it appear
that the light at Girod and Basin was burn
ing dimly between 0:30 and 11:40, the time
of the shooting.
On March 5th Cash turned the books
over to Mr.. McGrath. The next morning
he received subpoena from the Criminal
Court az witness for the defence. IN
spectors Riley and Meyer and the two
dynamO-men were also summoned. de
was not asked TO bring the book. Sus-
pecting he was wanted To testify as to the
light and fearing it might be attempted to
hold him by the 1l.40 entry, he went into
McGrath's Office and asked to see the press
copy Of the reports. He found that the
copy had not been tampered with and
showed that after IL o'clock the lights
burned well. SO he went to court and in
tended if placed on the stand TO say the
original report had been falsihed and TO
call for the press-copy TO prove his asser-
ton. He was never called.

FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED.
The Well Known Whitney Car Wheel
Works i'm Trouble.
[By telegraph 20 the Dispatch.l


PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 25,-The firm
of A. Whitney d Sons, car-wheel manufac-
turers. is financially embarrassed. The
firm is now composed OF John Il. and
James S. Whitney, surviving sons OF the
founder. James S. Whitney declined TO
give any details of matters beyond admit
ting the bare facts.
The car-wheel works were founded by
Asa Whitney in 1S4S. When the works
were built they were among the finest IN
the country. An immense trade was soon
built up and the works were in flourish
inc condition. The founder died, how
ever, about 1874. leaving an estate esti;;
mated at 81, 900, 600. The management fell
TO three sons, but it was discovered that a
daughter had large dover interest In the
property. The interest on this inheritance
was not paid and the works were mort
gagged TO secure IL.
Since then the works have been doing a
fair business, but have been gradually fall
ing behind younger establishments: They
have not sold TO the main railroad lines,
but most OF their wheels have gone to
small southern roads. Last year the rating
of the firm by the commercial agencies was
cut down to between 5000, 900 and $500, 900.
but their credit was good at that amount.

O'MALLEY AND HIS JURY.

Said.
fBy telegraph to the Dispatch I


New ORLEANS. La, March 25.-The grand
Jury will meet again tomorrow and con-
tinne its investigation of the O'Malley and
Hennessey jury workings. From what can
be learned great deal of valuable testi-
mony has been elected and there is basis
for half a dozen indictments, against
O,NIalley nnd others. These will be all
Brought in together, probably about
Saturday, so as TO lay the whole
business Of the peryersion of justice
before the Court at once There
are also n number of parties of whose guilt
the jury is morally convinced, but cannot
obtain direct evidence sufficient to indict;
Their names will probably be mentioned
in special report, which will have all the
effect of an indictment upon the public
mind. The special report will be ready
about the time of the findings. The Par;
ish-Prison raid will cot be taken up until
afterwards. Very little sleep is being lost
over that portion of the case. If anybody
should be indicted it will be because there
is direct evidence of their participation IN
the attack. and there is very little Of that
sort of testimony.
