THE oouNrRY,s rRosPERITY.
It Sill Keeps marching on-rhO Iron Iu
dustry is Doing Very Well.

1t Still Keeps marching on-The Iron In-
dustry is Doing Very Well.
New YoRK, Oct. 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review OF trade, says:
the first week OF October shows more
activity in spite of the near approach
Of the presidential election. Business
distinctly better at the south on ac-
count OF the improvement in the price
Of cotton, more active at the west with
improved crop prospects and only
slightly retarded at the east.
At Pittsburgh manufactured iron is
quite active and in large demand at well
supported prices, while business in
glass is fair, but strike OF coal miners
embarrasscs the Monongahela trade.
The iron industry is doing we'll. Not
withstanding the resumption of work
by many establishments which were
idle long time on account OF strikes,
the consumption of pig iron apparently
exceeds the production andthe demand
gives a decidedly sitter tone to the mar
ket. Bar iron is still very disappoint-
ing and rails very dull, but the demand
for structural iron keeps the works
busy, and plates are surprisingly active.
The business failures during the week
number 900, compared with POS last
week and go the same week last year.

bottles or old Scotch whisky. Though the gen

play over their counteuances, making them
gayer and more handsome than ever The news

A NOVEL Building.
It's Frontage to Be Entirely Of Glass
and Aluminium.
From the Nel0 York 10 rtiser


From the Netg York AduertiSer.
A novelty in architecture is proposed In
Chicago in the shape Of building to be
constructed, so far as the exterior Is con-
cerned, entirely Of aluminium and glass. IL
will be the first time in the history of archi-
lecture that aluminium is used for the ex-
terror Of building, and It is safe to say that
| this limo walton will command great atten-
ton all over the world. The metal has been
used to considerable extent for interior
work, such as ratings, elevator cabs, letter
boxes, etc. but never has it been used save
in a petty way, on the outside.
The first story will be of ordinary hight.
and the stories above IL feet, 10 feet inches
and II feet in the clear. The windows will
occupy the entire distance between the
stories save the small amount Of space re-
CURED for the mullions, and each window
will have two sheets Of plate glass II feet
long, Joined at the center with line of
aluminium, making practically one plate OF
glass % feet long. 1t will be seen that the
dimensions OF this glass are equal to that Of
very good sized room. On each side OF this
large plate will be a smaller window, say
or feet wide, provided for the purpose of
ventilation, etc. The mullions between the
two windows will be covered with alumni
lum plate
Thus the two fronts OF the building, which
is to be located at the corner Of State and
Madison streets, will present a beautiful
surface of aluminium bronze and plate
glass There will be three columns ON the
State street front and four on Madison
street, RAINING up she entire hight of the
building, the metal of these columns being
In ornate and pleasing forms, developing at
the cornfce into interlacing palm leaves.
A few difficulties Of minor consequence
were encountered in celebrating these
plans. but 1t is believed that they
have all been overcome. Provis.
ion has been made for convenient ac-
cess TO these large windows for the purpose
OF washing. and also for keeping the metal
surface clear OF SCOT. The window frames
will be covered with gold leaf and the ra-
diators within the building, which, owing
to the large amount Of glass will be visible
from the outside, will be gilded, and pre-
sent pleasing appearance. One Of the
great advantages of this lavish use Of plate
glass will be in the fact that merchants can
have immense signs on the windows IL they
choose. One pane of glass will take a sign
twenty-five feet long and as broad as may
ha daairad

NORTHERN AT CAMBRIDGE.
a Grand and Glorious Rally OF Decatur
Democrats


Democrats.
BAINBRIDGE, Ga, Sept. 13.-The demo.
Gratis of Decatur county, despite an almost
continuous rain and storm all the fore
noon, had grand and glorious
rally here to-day, being ad-
dressed by Gov. Northen in a 2-hour speech,
at once the most masterful and convincing
heard here in years. On account of the
prevailing storm the speaking was had in
the court house and every inch OF available
space was occupied during the two hours of
the speaking. Scores and hundreds Of en-.
thusiastio democrats from all over the
county were here, and a large number OF
colored people also. An appeal by the gov
ernor to all who intended voting for Peek
and other third party candidates to hold up
their hands
FAILED TO ELICIT SINGLE RESPONSE.
The same appeal to all who intended vot
ing for Weaver, the south-hater, met the
same lack OF response.
Unfortunately there was very little
heather material in the crowd for this great
democratic missionary to work upon else
there would have been many more con-
versions to report. The speech was of the
kind that do the cause great good by putting
the people to thinking, and has already
done good. Old Decatur is aflre from the
Ochlockonee TO the Chattahoochee with
democratic enthusiasm tonight. and clubs
are forming in every district, polling every
man and finding out where he stands, and
on Oct. 5 old Decatur will be found still In
the right column with a round majority.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
Amusements and Terrors OF a Deep
Wafer Diver.
From the NeSo York Advertiser.


From the NeIo York Advertiser
Edward H. Littleheld. a native Of Block
Island and resident of Providence, now 66
years old, modestly claims TO be the most
experienced submarine diver in the world.
And truly he has had some wonderful ex-
periences in his forty-four years in the
business. Mr.. Littleheld has taken 100
bodies out OF sunken ships and has walked
all through and around some fifty vessels
lying from IS to l6S feet deep.
The deeper one goes in the water the
greater IS the pressure, and uader the or
binary system the air cannot be forced
down to the diver if he is 200 feet deep, and
will not hold his suis out from his body
much below 100 feet. In that case the
diver must go down by slow degrees to
avoid the numbness caused by the tighten
ing Of the suit. In 1860 MIR. Littlefeld went
down los feet to recover the bodies of
lady and her daughter who were drowned
on the ship OF the husband and father. OF
this be says:
''Now, it's queer, but there's something
about bodies under water Did you know
that if you went into the cabin of vessel
where one was that it would start toward
you, almost as IL it were ahvel It Is that
that makes the shock so terrible. You
can't avoid them. They come as if they
wanted to be taken away. Well, the cap

weighed 200 pounds, and the suit weighed
265 more. l knew there'd be a terrible
shock. so got all ready. The door gave
way at last, and broke into kindllng wood
like a fash. The conclusion of the water
flung the bodies toward me like lightning.
l shut my eyes, aad reaching out to grab
the bodies, caught the woman's face as she
few toward me.
II signaled and was taken up. Then
went down to hunt for the little girl. |
found she had come out when her mother
did, and foated under the cabin table.
Why, that table was set just as when the
vessel sunk, and there was food on the
plates at that very time. was pulled up
