The body argued the insurance
license matter, but did nothing with
it. Recently the insurance COM
panies' license was raised in this city
from $40 apiece per annum to $15.
To meet this increase, which
amounts to about 5000 per year, the
companies threaten to raise the rates
in this city to such a figure that
they will realize $1,000 more per
annum in future here in Mexico
than they did before the license was
raised 5000. Mayor Lupton said
Mr.. Fetter, the representative of the
insurance men, offers to reduce the
rate from che proposed increased
figure provided the Council would
lower the license and keep two men
at the fire engine room. The Mayor
was in favor of lowering the license
if the companies would decrease the
insurance rates. He said that our
business men and others had to
carry insurance and he thought if
our peoples pocket books were
benefited it ought to be done. Ben.
C. Johnson and ]. M. Davis oppos-
ed a reduction in the license. Mr..
Johnson thought it was "backing
down. to the insurance companies
and he was bitterly opposed to it.
J. M. Davis said if necessary he
thought we could insurei in non-board
companies and Withdraw from the
underwriters. He said Mexico now
paid as high a rate as Salisbury and
they had no water works there. Mr..
Sannebeck thinks the companies
are trying to ''run a game of bluff
and that they tried it 10 Sedalia and
it failed.

LACK on CONFIDENCE
Has Caused a Further
Check 10 Business.
LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT.
Slight Decline Recorded in Prices oi
Corn and Wheat.

NEW YORK, O,t. 7-R. g. Dun s. Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says:
IL is difficult GO detec any signs of I'M
provement. While there has been some
addition to the number Of manufacturing
establishments aud the number of hands
at work during the past week, IL Is be-
coming painfully clear that the orders
obtained do not suffice TO keep EN- ployed
at full time even the limited force at
present engaged. Business transacted is
still far below that of last year in volume,
In railroad earnings the decrease being
1915 per cent, and in payments through
the principal clearing houses outside New
York the decrease is % per cent.
Rep orts from other cities disclose dis
tinct check Ia business. There is, on the
whole. less activity and less confidence re-
garding the futurs than there was a week
ago, and this is In many cases attributed
to the uncertainty regarding the none
tary future which delay In the senate
causes.
While the volume Of all kinds of money
In circulation has increased S2l, ,377, PAT
during the month of September, and is
now greater by almost slOS 00O, 600 than it
Wus bilIlS ycttTt INC
ment Is now, as has been all the time, due
to lack of confidence rather than to
lack of currency.
The Financial Situation.
1t is observed that. while the bank cir
culation increased In September $5,052, ,3l7,
the amount Of bank notes in the treasury
has increased s4,657, 1874. and several of
the banks which took out additional cir
culation have re eired 1t, and sold the
bonds deposited. The stock Of money In
New York banks has increased rapidly,
and the retirement of clearing house GER
tificates here and at other cities shows
great improvement in the monetary situa-
ton.
There is not such encouragement as
might be desired in the Industrial reports
for the week Many concerns are work
Ing short time. An increased number of
establishments is reported in operation.
The markets for stocks and products
have been comparatively dull. The move
ment of wheat has been fairly large and
the price has declined about cents, while
corn has also yielded about INT. Cotton
Is Ia cent higher, without distinct reasons
In crop prospects,
Failures continue to decrease In num-
Der and Importance, though not as much
es has been hoped The number reported
In the United States during the past week
has been $40, against l84 for the same
week last year, and in Canada As, against
B6 last year.

a SUCCESSFUL MISSION.
Some Of the Armenian shoemakers Nave
Been Induced 10 Leave Auburn {.

AUBURN. Ne, Oct. 7-Some Of the
Armenians who fought Auburn and Lew
iston people only last Saturday night, aud
who went through the streets during the
early part of this week with their hands
on the butts Of their revolvers, and some
of the union men who have entertained
bitter feelings against the foreigner, had
regular love feast yesterday.
The new state Of affairs has come about
through the efforts of Messrs Vaughn
and Barsel, the two Armenians who have
cople here TO induce their couutrymen to
leave their places in the shops and return
to Massachusetts At $3.50 o'clock last
evening "A reporter saw Mr. Barsel at the
De Witt House in Lewiston, and. in an
swer to few inquiries, that gentleman
said:
six OF my countrymen have left their
places In the shops aud two OF them have
left the city. Twelve more will undoubt-
edly leave the shops tomorrow, aud doubt
II the remaining six will remain when
they find the Others are gone
"Mr. Vaughn and are not here In the
interests of trades unions, but to recall
some Of our countrymen from an awkward
and, in certain respect, false position. Ii
is against our principles to take another
mans occupation from him. We are our.
selves organized 'or protection and the
elevation of our teople, and we wish to
avoid anything that might be regarded as
degrading"
The streets have been quiet, and the
union leaders rel pice. as they knew that
the riotous demonstrations were against
the success OF their cause. During all OF
the trouble several Of them have aided the
officers a. Auburn ball in keeping inside
the shoemakers who were there at times
when the excitement began to run high In

Morris tribune., 1893-12-13

Among a large class of craftsmen the
wish has long been entertained for the
discovery of hard, compact and even
grained wood. having all the charac-
teristics of lockwood and for which 1t
would form an efficient substitute. For
many years past the gradual dimin-
ution in the supplies of lockwood and the
deterioration in its quality have proved
serious facts in more than one occupa-
ton, including engravers, hardwood
dealers, etc., especially the former, on
account of the higher price asked for
the material and the difficulty OF Sc
curing it of the needed size and firmnesa
of texture so as to insure the artistic
excellence of the engraving.
While by far the most important use
of this wood is for the engraver s art,
it is also applied to numerous other
purposes, such, for instance, as weav-
ing shuttles, mathematical Instruments
turnery uses, carving, cabinet work,
etc. The fact is interesting as well as
important that lockwood is the nearest
approach to ivory of any wood known
and will therefore probably increase
gradually in value as it becomes scarcer.
Small wood, under four inches, is used
considerably by fax spinners for rollers
and by turner's for various purposes,
rollers for rink skates, ETC., and if free
from splits is of equal value with the
larger wood.-New York Sun.

They Never VIII.

A woman stood at the corner of Baker
and Twelfth streets and waved her par
asol for the car to stop.
The driver nodded his head.
She waved parasol in one hand and
shopping bag in the other.
The driver nodded and pointed and
stopped the car on the other side of the
street.
She came linping over the pavement
with swapping eyes and flushed face,
and as she put her foot on the lower
step she exclaimed:
fare you all blind and deaf on this
carp
The conductor rang two bells and
made no answer, and when she had taken
a seat inside passenger asked:
"Why didn t you explain that she was
on the wrong side Of the street for the
car coming DOWN.
My dear man, it would have been
breath thrown away" he replied.
t'That woman lives around here and
has been riding on this line for five
years. I've explained and explained,
and SO has every other conductor, but
what good has it done? Not one woman
in 90 will ever get it through her head
that car can't stop in the center of a
crossing and block a street, and SO we
must put up with her sass and look
for our relief beyond the stars. De
