ENDED HER LIFE.
Suicide of ST. Louis Woman in
New York.

New York.
New YORK, March 12.-Tonight S.
81. H. Peal son, proprietor of the Cole
man house, at Broadway and Twenty
seventh street. found woman in the
hotel dead. See came there early yes
terday morning, and registered as Mrs.
f. Carter, of st. Louis. When found
she had bullet wound in her breast.
Beside her was a bottle containing
laudanum and morphine. She was
about twenty-five years NOld, had blue
eyes, wore brown dress, sealskin coat
and muff, brown plush hat trimmed
with blue, black silk underskirt and
button shoes. She had an umbrella
with a silver handle. There is no mark
or anything that gives clue to her
identity.
The chambermaid went to the wom-
ans room this afternoon to do it up.
She could not get in, and, as the key of
the room was still in the lock on the in
side. the chambermaid's paSs-key would
not open the door. A hall boy was sent
around to the fire escape, and he got
into the room from the window, to find
the woman lying on the bed, dead. Dep
uty Coroner Conway was then sent for.
and after his arrival he found a glass
with a portion of a milk punch in it.
This stood by the side of two bottles,
one of which proved to contain NOR
phine, the other laudanum. On the
floor was revolver. Upon examining
the body the deputy coroner was
of the opinion that the woman
had been dead two hours before
he got there. On testing the con-
tents of the glass, he said the milk
punch had been mixed with laudanum.
There was a bullet wound in the left
breast of the woman, which is believed
to be the direct cause of death. The
theory advanced is that after drinking
half of the milk punch, which had
previously been mixed by her with the
laudanum, the woman stood before the
looking-glaSs Gin the room, and then,
shooting herself through the heart, fell
back Oh the bed.
The bottle found in the room, which
contained laudanum. bore the label of
an Eighth avenue druggist. On inquiry
he produced record, showing that OH
January 13. 1891, some laudanum had
been sold to a Mrs. Johnson, and the
signature of the buyer of this poison
bore considerable similarity to the
handwriting in which the name "Cal.
teri appears on the register of the Cole
man house.
ST. LOUIS, March 11.-Nothing is
known here of Mrs. +. Carter, whose
suicide is mentioned in New York
dispatch, the dispatch stating that she
was registered at the hotel as from st.
Louis. The belief here is Selt the
name, and perhaps the residence, were
assumed by the suicide, who wished TO
conceal her identity and residence.

TRADE REVIEW.
Condition and Genral Outlook of
The Prospects OF the Country.

Il. e. Dun 81 Co.'S weekly review of
traid says: There is a some what bet
ter tone in business, because the mon
ey markets are little less stringent.
But it cannot be said as yet, that there
is any distinct improvement. In ev-
cry direction unusual conservatism
prevails; orders are relatively small !,
the volume of business is restricted
and waiting policy rules. New York
banks have received some money from
the interior, but are not yet clear
that it is best to retire the clearing
house certificates because there is said
to be weakness which may yet re-
quire liberal extension of credit.
Other cities have drawn less from
New York because their business is
restricted. Some gold has come al
ready from abroad and more is ex-
pected within the next week but the
exports of products do not increase as
much as has been expected.
Trade at st. Louis is very satisfacto-
ry with good orders for the fall, and
business is ahead of the average for
the season. Louisville reports easier
money aud business fair in volume:
at Nashville trade is quiet and fair,
and at Montgomery improving. At
Columbus trade is fair with collections
unimproved, and at Atlanta satisfac-
tory in volume, but collections are
very slow. Trade is dull at Augusta,
though crop prospects are good, and
at Mobile crop prospects are fair and
tratss satisfactory. Jacksonville re-
ports country buying small and col
lections slow, and at Charleston the
dry goods trade is fair and money
easier, but collections very slow. At
New Orleans little improvement is
seen, and money is very tight, but a
better feeling prevails, for crop pros,
poets are bright.
The decrease of nearly 10000 tons
in the weekly output of pig iron is
not unexpected at this season, nor is it
an unfavorable symptom. Unsold
stock have decreased 900 tons, but
the markets are dull and concessions
common.
Exports of products are light, for
two weeks at New York being only
$12,812,610 against S15,979, 1853 last
year. In June the exports of bread
stuffs, provisions, cotton, oil and cat
tie amounted to $50, 7O5, 1861 in value
against $42 1872, 200 for the same
month last year with noteworthy
discrease in the quantities of most pro-
ducts though in wheat and oil the less
in value is due to the fall in prices.
Failures during the past week were
374 in the United States against 1888
last year for the same week and in
Canada %, against % last year.

The statistical report Of the Iron
and Steel Association for 1892 has
just~been issued. Reviewing the do
mestic iron trade for 1892, the report
says that prices utterly failed 10 re-
spond to . verylgrcat demand for con-
sumption, and it cannot, therefore, be
truly said that our iron and steel I'M
dustries were prosperous in 1892. 1t
was a year of good profits for very
few iron and steel manufacturers, OF
small profits for many, and no profits
at all for large number. Seeking
for the cause of the depression, the
opinion is advanced that, while other
influences have had their part, the
principal cause is to be found in our
capacity to produce much more iron
and steel than the country could con-
sumo. notwithstanding the enormous
consumption the last few years. A
somewhat gloomy view of the future
Is taken.

The Atlanta Herald very pertinen

The Atlanta Herald very pertinently
remarks: "It is a long lane that has
no turning. The business men of the
country have becp travelling a long
dusty way, and the turning point is
obliged to be not far off. Brighter and
better days are not little way ahead
The sun shines hot, and it 10 oks like a
long distance to the top of the hill,
but we will all get there after awhile.
Many man, with his heavy load,
feels like throwing the burden into the
corner of a fence and leaving it there,
but every load has already cost its toll
and sweat, and we say to every weary
traveller, Cheer up, keep going, set
your jaw, pull ahead and persevere to
the end.'

ONE not acquainted with the fac

One not acquainted with the facts,
might be led to believe from obser-
vation, that the people of our Southern
towns and cities wanted to sell out and
quit the country. Such a supposition
is far from correct, however. AS a
rule, they are what is termed Gland
poor" that is, they have more proper
ty than they need, and more than they
can improve-it thus becoming bur-
den. rather than benefit. No people
on earth are more welded to the homes
of their nativity than Southerners, and
in nine cases out Of ten, where piece
of property is disposed of, the pur-
chase money is used in maze improve
ments on other property. 1t is
probably no doubt fact, however,
that often prospectors are scared away
from our towns and cities, by the i'm
preston that too many people are
anxious to sell out. 1t therefore be-
hooves our citizens to use discretion
along this Ene.

The raising of early vegetables and
fruits for. Northern markets is a grow
ing and profitable industry in many
sections Of our Southland. The annu-
al returns from this source to our
Southern farmers is several million
dollars, still it should be many more,
and no doubt will be, in few years as
they learn more of its profitableness.

duce to afford to ship it, generally sue

He Likes Coco Neignpors.

In the southwestern portion of Van.
derbilt's estate of 5000 acres Ashevflle,
N. c. is o little track of land of IA
acres which the millionaire does not
own, and, though it is entirely sur
rounded by his possessions, is tract
that he has in vain tried to buy.
The little piece IS owned by negro
named Collins, who makes his living
by hauling on Ashville's streets.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt commenced to
purchase the land he now owns he
struek q snsg when he came to Collins.
The negro stubbornly refused to sell
and finally named price that was
$500 more than the higest figure Of
fered him by Vanderbilt.
The millionaire at first refused to
pay it, and when he finally did agree
to give Collins the amount he asked,
then Collins backed down and refused
to sell at any price. In vain the mon
ey king pleaded and threatened; the
negro, who, it is believed, was encour-
aged by outside parties, remained firm,
aud Vanderbilt could not buy. Col
Inns cooly remarked that what he
wanted in this life was good neigh
bors, and now he had the chance for
the first time. He said that he es-
pecially liked Mr.. Vanderbilt, and
believed he would be nice neighbor.
Then Vanderbilt fenced in the negroes
property, being compelled, of course,
to allow him an Gu let, but this had
the opposite effect.
Collins was tickled, and expressed
his delight in unmeasured terms.
"Now Pm fixed," he declared. 81
have good fences without any cost to
me, and l can let my stock run loose
without being worried about bother
ing neighbor Vanderbilt"
An SO this state of affairs exists.
Some day Vanderbilt will give him an
immense sum, and Collins will be
swell fixed" for tho remainder of his
life, and somebody else will likely get
bit out of the purchase money also.

Warm Times In South Carolina.

Since the new dispensary law went
into effect in South Carolina, there
have been two elements assiduously at
work. The one in trying to evade the
law, the other in trying TO capture Of
tenders. In Charleston blind tigers
spreading into existence surreptitious-
ly on the very day the law went into
effect, and since then the Governor has
had the city flooded with spies. When
sufficient evidence is gathered to con-
vict an offender he will be arrested,
his place of business condemned as q
nuisance, the premises will be
searched ana the goods and chattles con
ficated to the State and carried away.
This is the programme mapped out
by the Dispensary law, and this is the
programme that Governor Tillman pro-
posed to enforce. 1t is no secret that
the enforcement will be resisted by
force, il necessary. In fact, it is no
secret thst good many Of the inhabi-
tants have armed themselves, and are
prepared to defend the sanctity Of
their premises, and the popular scnti.
ment 10 on their side.
