A PRISON EPIDEMIC.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. 3L-One more
death occurred in the penitentiary yester-
day, making a total of fourteen. The
coroner found that death resulted from
some epidemic disease unknown to the
jury. Coroner Bond has filed report
with the board of penitentiary commits
soners, in which be states that the sani
tary condition of the place is horrible in
the extreme, and calculated to breed an
epidemic in its worst form. He describes
at some length the filth piled up in the
different quarters of the prison. The re-
port says that the attorney general and
Private Secretary Files, representing
Governor Eagle. Immediately drove out
TO the prison and made personal inspec-
ton. That a contiguous disease in its
worst form has taken hold of the inmates
now admits of no dispute The poison
theory is fast fading away. The man who
died today Was not in the Helena crowd,
and has not been out of the fatal walls for
several days. He was in perfect health
yesterday at dinner The physicians of
Little Rock laugh at the poison theory.
The people are becoming nervous and
cholera is being talked of. The Arkansas
Medical institute students are scared and
refuse 10 handle dead bodies sent TO the
institute from the penitentiary.
Tue penitentiary is inside the city limits,
and Mayor Fletcher instructed City Physi-
clan Dickinson TO make thorough sani-
tary examination OF the prison. DR..
Dickinson, in his report, recommends the
enforcement of the sanitary regulations to
the full limit. As result of this lime and
other dissufectSnts were taken to the
prison this morning and 200 conviots were
set to work cleaning the premises. Mayor
Fletcher has also directed the arrest of
Secretary of State Chiss, Attorney Gener-
al Atkinson of the penitentlary board,
Prison Inspector Carroll, S. NJ. Apperson,
VINO represents the lessees OF the peniten-
tiaIy, and Calvin Pemberton, warden Of
ths prison, on the charge OF violating the
sanitary ordinances. Mayor Fletcher de-
clares that the epidemic at the pententi-
airy is the elimination Of the lease system
and that the responsibility rests with the
state. He intends TO have every person
arrested who has anything TO do with the
management Of the state prison, except
the governor. Up TO noon none OF the
above named persons had been found;
therefore no arrests had been made.

A telegram from President Charles
Dickson, of the New Orleans Olympic
club, states that the purse of 5000 of
fered for the Ryan-Dawson battle had
been increased TO $4,000, and notified
Ryan that training quarters had been
secured for him at Bay St Louis just
why the club raised the purse is not
clear, as Ryan had already signed for
5000, but it is thought that Dawson
held out for an advance, and that this
was given in order to induce Daw-
son to come to New Orleans, in the face
of an offer of s., 600 from the California
Athletic club Ryan will go south in
few days and viii train with Billy
Lavigne for the contest.

Secretary G.. A. Chapman has COM
pleted the annual report Of the Board
of Trade, and it is as follows:
MANUFACTURES.
The increase in nearly all lines OF
manufacturing since the last report
of this Board is very gratifying. Com
pairing the figures given in the totals
below with those for 1886, we lind
that in this interval of six years the
production of stone has been more
tnan doubled: that of brick has in
creaed thirty per cent: lime ninety
five per cent: flour and feed thirty per
cent; creamery packages forty-hYe
per cent: cigars one hundred and
twenty per cent; while there has
been a substantial advance in nearly
all other lines. and several new and
important industries have been es-
tablished, such as the manufacture
Of candies, fiber ware, knit goods and
pork packing. Cement also appears
for the first time in these reports, the
figures for former years not being at
tainable. The amount of cement
has, however, been greatly increased
during the past year: the total pro-
duct amounting to $4,000 barrels of
cement, and shipments of 1850 car
loads.
In the comparative tables following
the volumes of the several lines of
business are given for the years 1869,
1877, 1886 and 1892, since in these years
this Board made full reports on the
business of the city; the period from
1869 to 1892 covering nearly the whole
time of the existence both of the city
and of the Board of Trade, and the
intervals of from six to nine years af-
fording good opportunity to show
the gradual increase and develop
ment of the industries thus listed:
