Southern Industries.

The quarterly statement of Southern
industries prepared by The Trades
man, of Chattanooga, Tenn. shows
that for the first quarter of 1898, the
new industries established exceed
those of the first quarter of 1892 bv
1913. While for the first quarter of
this year only eight development COM
panies have been Incorporated. during
the same period last year 81 were
formed. The quarter just ended also
shows rs cotton wool mills establish
ed; SO flour and grist mills: 90 can
ming factories; 40 oil mills and the
building of 80 water works plants.
This quarter shows SO flour and
grist mills established, as against 90
for the same quarter of 1892.
The increasing demand for cotton
seed oil and its products. together
with the advance in the price, which
has recently taken place, accounts for
the large number of new oil mills Or
ganized during the quarter; total of
40 is shown as against 10 in 1892 and
8 in the same quarter of 1891, over
half of The total number being located
in Texas and the remainder scattered
throughout other cotton growing
States.
Twelve brick and tile plants are re-
ported, % cotton congresses, 81 cleo
trio plants, % foundries and machine
shops, 7 ice factories, 80 water works
plants, with SO other miscellaneous
industries.
That the extensive timber interests
Of the South are not only attracting
attention, but capital, is shown by the
fact that los new wood working
pants, have been established during
The past quarter as against 1872 in 1892
and 191 in The first quarter of 1891.
Tennessee heads the fist with thirty
three new industries in this line to her
credit; Georgia and North Crrolina
are close rivals with twenty-four and
twenty-three respectively. All of the
Southern States, however, are well
represented in this development, Miss
issippi, with seven, being the smallest
number.
In the quarter 76 textile industries
were established as against 20 in the
first quarter of 1892, and As in the
same period of 1891, and the very
general character of this development
is shown by the fact that only three
States-Arkansas, Kentucky and
West Virginia-are not represented in
, this total. Alabama leads the list
with twenty-five; North Carolina, six
teen; Georgia, thirteen; South Caro-
lima, eight; Virginia, five; Mississippi
four, and Texas and Tennessee three
each.

A Cascade of Hot Water.

At point in the gorge or canon we
halted by some tremendous boulders to
examine cascade of hot water. l have
seen what are called hot springs in many
places, but generally the warm water
ekes out from spring in low level.
This is the only place that | have ever
heard of where bot water in sufficient
volume to turn large mill comes from a
mountain side, rushing down in sue
cession of beautiful cascades to empty
into the river. The water is not warm I;
it is hot, absolutely so hot that the hand
of an Indian cannot be retained in the
creek for minute
The Indians say it is a sure cure for
all sorts Of sores To test this bathed

with troublesome fly and mosquito
bites, and can testify truthfully that l

effects of the poison, and the following
morning nearly every trace of the fly
stings had disappeared from hands that
were covered. This spot is called Puco,
or Yaquillo, and located few hours
above Quillocaca II Andes Trail.

TRADE REVIEW.
Condition and General Outlook of
The Prospects of the Country.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
lys The fact of the largest intlu-
ence in the record of the past week
has been the increased distribution of
goods, which appears with better
weathe: at nearly all points. The
strengthening effect is already felt in
some wholesale trades, and even in
some manufactures, building material
and in steel, and paints and glass are
helped as well as many forms of tex
tile and leather products. Collections
already improve at many points,
though still generally rather behind,
especially at Philadelphia and other
eastern points. The stringency often
seen about April LIST, does not appear
here, for the close pressure of some
weeks ago has led to adequate prepar-
alton. But while imports greatly ex-
coed exports, it is not safe to calculate
that the out-goes of gold will not
again disturb confidence. Hence the
break in important speculation has its
. hopeful side. Instead of rising after
the close of the Lancashire strike, cot
ton fell three-eights, which may accel-
crate exports, though stocks of Amer
lean cotton in Europe are still third
larger than usual at this season.
Exports in the four weeks at New
York have been SIS, 155, 900 less than
last year, indicating a total for the
month not far from $76,000,000,
while the increase in imports at New
York alone has been about 81 ,000,-
900, indicating for the month of more
than $97 100000. This great excess
in imports following an excess of
$4,000, 900 in January and February
is the basis of doubts about the imme-
diate monetary future.
The situation in the great industries
is distinctly improving regardless Of
the speculative uncertainties. Legiti-
mate business shows no unsoundness.
caution having largely prevailed and
The volume is the largest ever known
for the season.
Failures in the first quarter of the
year, 1902 in number, were fewer
than either of the past three years,
and though the amount of liabilities
is larger, the average liabilities is still
quite low, less than S14 800.
The iron and steel business is a
shade firmer, with an improved de-
mand for bar, plates aId structural
forms, and though rails do not sell,
Bessemer iron is firm and steel
stronger.
Nearly all southern points report
some improvement, and at Nashville
10 disturbance results, the banks being
we'll fortified.
At Galveston large increase in cot
'on Is noted.
AT New Orleans lumber, material
for building, etc., are strong and ac-
tive and other trades fair, with money
in ample supply.

ELECTRICITY VS.. steam.

The recent performance of the En-
pire State Express of the New York
Central, which ran at the rate of nine
tv-five miles an boar for ten consecu-
tive miles, has greatly interested me-
chanieal engineers and scientific men
generally. The remarkable record is
expected to have very important
bearing upon railroad schedules of
the near future. and is especially in
teresting at this time, when extraord-
mary efforts are being made to reduce
the time between distant points by
means of electricity. Until lately,
eighty miles, or perhaps eighty-three,
had been the fastest time made by any
railroad, and this speed of ninety five
miles an hour by complete train,
weighing in the neighborhood of 200
tons. and running over different
grades, throws new light upon the
question of attainable sneeds, and
gives some data from which to work
and figure for the future.

A List of Pardons.

January and February last the death
~ate at Coalburg was larger than
usual, some kind of epidemic of the
'owels, the exact nature of which the
physicians could not ascertain or the
he cause thereof, was prevailing
here.
Governor Jones recently directed
the convict physician, DIR. August
ZONES, and Inspectors Henley and Lee,
he former being a physician also, to
examine convicts there and report the
names of such convicts as are incura-
bic, or who were so weakened by
disease that they would probably not
recover if kept at Coalburg after
being weakened by the epidemic.
All the convicts at Coalburg are
hard labor convicts or what is better
known as county convicts. Nearly all
of them are confined for misde-
meanors or lighter felonies; it being
unlawful to put to hard labor for a
felony where the sentence exceeds
two years. Some of the conyicts rec.
commended to the governor on account
OF their physical condition have one or
two years to serve, while others had
only few months and some only a
few days.
There were thirty-one convicts re-
ported SO diseased as to justify their
pardon. The governor today tele.
graphed to Coalburg to have the con-
victs released, and to look after them,
seeing that they were safely returned
to their hemes.

Poisoned His six Children.

Eugene John Newman, of New
York, is accused of poisoning his six
children. Mrs. Newman and some of
the neighbors made the accusation and
the burial of the last child was stopped
until an analysis of its stomach could
be made. Mrs. Newman also thinks
her husband tried to poison her. OF
the six children of this household
three have died suddenly of gastric
troubles, one of meningitis and two,
it is said, of commissions, which may
have been the outcome of gastric
troubles. The father claims that they
inherited the disease from their
mother, and the doctors say it is hered-
itary Most of the children, it is al
legged, had small policies on their
lives in the Metropolitan Insurance
Company in New York.

JeR HARRISON Convicted .

The trial of JEFF Harrison, the
leader of the gang of robbers, who
held up two trains on the East Tonnes
see, Virginia and Goargia Road, some
months ago, which has been going on
in the Federal court at Birmingham
for several days has at last ended. The
jury being out for two hours returned
verdict of guilty. Dick Harrison,
Jef's brother, and Jim Brown,
cousin, who composed the gang have
already been convicted. They con-
fessed duplicating JEFF, saying he was
the leader of the gang and that they
robbed the train near Rome, Ca, in
December, 1891, and near Piedmont
in October, 1892, getting about "a, 900
in all. In the Piedmont robbing thu
mail pouch were rifed, the express
cars being robbed in both in
stances. 1t was for the robbing of the
mail that all of the men were con-
victed. jeff Harrison made hard
fight endeavoring to prove an alibi
and all along protested his innocence.
This is the worst gang of train rob-
bers that has operated in the south
since the day of RUDE Burrow. All
are young men, Dick being only
seventeen years old. JEFF will prob
ably get the heaviest penalty which is
life time Imprisonment.
