BALTIMORE. Sept. 3.-The Manufactur-
ers Record OF this week publishes six
pages oi special letters from leading
bankers in all parts of tie south as to
the financial conditions and prospects OF
the general business and farming inter
ests. These reports informally show
that Immediately after the Barring fail
ure, southern merchants and bankers
pursued a very conservative policy and
at once commenced to curtail all their
operations and To make preparations for
long period Of monetary strlngency II
it should come The effect OF this, while
icsSening the volume OF trade has been
the reduction of the Indebtedness and the
placing of all business and banking inter-
est on very solid financial basis. 1t
also resulted III the borrowing OF less ad-
vance money by he cottunp planters than
for many years and hence the present
crop has less Indebtedness a Galnstit than
the crops OF former years,
In all parts pt thc South farmers are
reported as less III debt than tor years,
many reports saving their Indebtedness
is smaller than a any time since he war,
due in part t. enforced economy on ac-
count OF the monetary strlnScncy since
last fall and IN part to the large crops OF
OF the last few years. The low price OF
cotton in the spring caused the planters
to pay more attention to raising their
own TODD supplies and the South will
probably be less dependent upon other
sections for corn and wheat than ever
before. 1t Is estimated that the grain
crops OF the South this year will aggre-
gate nearly TOO, 100000 bushels than
in 1890 and tins added to the large yields
Of fruits and vegetables, will keep at

interests. Yields of wheat, rice and to-

COL. HENRY CREIGHTON KILL.
ED YESTERDAY.
Col. CrichtOn, Returning To His
Home Near BiltInore, Is Struck
and Instantly Killed by the
Engine of a aPassenxcrTrain.

along the railroad track. When near
his home the passenger train came along
1t was behind time, and running on a
down grade at speed of about 35 miles
an hour. Engineer 2 d. Bird saw a
man on the track, about 100 yards
ahead. He supposed that the man
would get off. But in a second or two
he saw that he apparently did not hear
the train and he blew the whistle alarm,
and reversed his engine, doing ali in his
power to stop the train.
When the signal was blown Col. Crich-
ton heard it and started to step off the
track. But he was too late. ust as he
had one foot on the outside OF the track
the pilot of the engine struck him. He
was thrown upon the bank. His neck
was broken, LETT leg broken, all of the
ribs on the left side and all but two of
the ribs on he right side broken.

A gentleman from philadelphia now
i'll Asheville, who was on the train which
was delayed yesterday by the wsshout
near Marion, tells The CITIZEN of the
noble work of colored man, which
doubtless saved passengers on the train
from another terrible wreck.
The colored man, whose name is not
known, lived with his family near the fill
which was washed away. The heavy
rains had raised the waters so that the
ca bin in which they lived was in danger
| of being carried from its foundations He
removed his family to place OF safety
| lust then he heard a roar and sound o
rushing water, and knew that the ti
had been carried away. Knowing, too
that the west bound train was abou,
due, the thought OF its rescue flashed
through his mind, and he set out at the
top OF his speed to give notice OF The
washout. He had the train stopped and
the trainmen were told OF the accident.
1t was Just eight minutes before the
train was to have come up to the wash
out. What the result would have beer
but for the brave and thoughtful coloret
man, is fearful to contemplate.
The passengers, when told of the he,
roic action OF the man, made up purs,
| for him. The amount is not knowr
but it was not very large.
Deeds like this, the saving of perhaps q
dozen, maybe more, lives, should not e
without substantial reward. viii tn,

first thought was for the safety of th'
