THE FATE OF A Boom TOWN.
IT BRINGS ABOUT THREE CENTS FOR
EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED.


EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED.
The boom town of Fort PAYNE, Ala.
where millions were invested by New
England capitalists, was sold under the
hammer yesterday to K. n. Cullom. a
Birmingham capitalist, for the small sum
of SGO.OOO, says IA birmingham, Ala.
dispatch of Jan. 24 The purchase in
cludes 1000 acres of mineral lands, 20OO
town lots and various large industries,
including rolling mills, furnaces, facto-
ries, hotels and the like.
In July, 1892, the entire property of the
Fort Payne Coal and Iron company was
placed by order of the United States
court in the hands of "A receiver upon the
petition of AL. LOyles and Others of New
England. These were afterward juined
by the Old Colony Trust company of Bos-
ton, trustee, who asked for foreclosure of
a mortgage of $780, 900. The receiver
ship, though hotly contested in the
United States courts by other New Eng
land stockholders, was sustained.
Fort Payne was the first attempt of Or
ganized New England capital to found a
city in the South. and it has proved "A fiat
failure after several millions have been
squandered. The town was built to order.
In the fall of 1889 w. p. Rice and associ-
ates of Boston fl0ated ~, 900 shares of Fort
Payne Coal and Iron company stock in
Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Mass
achusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
New York city at $25 per share of 500,
realizing Il clean million. which was ia
ken IN lump to Fort Payne. Afterward
10000 shares of stock, reserved in the
treasury, were sold at $37 per share. This
soon went, and a blanket mortgage with
bonds aggregatlng $500. 900 was executed.
Immense sums were obtained from the
sale of town lots, which were also eX-
pended upon the town in water works,
hotels, railroads, sewer system, furnaces,
rolling mills ana all the accOutrements of
ii commercial and manufacturing city.
Then came the bOgs of financial depres-
sion in 1890, and Fort Payne retired, and
has remained in retirement ever since,
private and corporate expenditures hav-
ing amounted to S5.000,000. The eXpen-
ditures of the Fort Pavne Coal and Iron
company amounted 10 $4,000, 900, all of
which has been sold for 100000, or for
three cents on the dollar.
The result of this enterprise has been
to both eastern people and
TO SOutherners, the one in losing their
money and the other iU the check that is
given to eastern invest tment. Fort Payne
was the first of a serids of boom towns
that came TO the fronb in the South in
1889 and 1890, Middles boro, Ky, and
Hartman. Tenn, being other examples.
All have gone the way Fort Payne went.

III great respect. An emergency con-
frOnted MIR. Burke when Lieut.. Conway
and 80 sailors from the NIchteroy landed
at PernambucU. Lieut.. Conway and his
men had been deceived. Promises of
pay made to them in New York were un-
fulfilled, but they found they had signed
shipping articles which gave them no
right To appeal to their cOnsus. These
articles guaranteed them passage back to
New York If they failed to sign in the
Brazilian navy. The ship cleared from
New York with special clearance papers
from the Brazilian minister. In the
opinion of able lawyers she became "a
pirate the moment she hauled
down the American flag, and at
any time during her passage was liza
bic to seizure as Il freebooter. The Bra
lillian authorities were not inclined to
live up to the letter of the articles.
They were polite and full of promises.
but they allowed two ships to sail for
America without making any arrange
ment for the return of the men, who be-
came impatient. They had spent ali
their money for drink. The ratlons
which they were given at the arsenal
were NOT wholesome. They appealed to
the consul. The consul had no authori-
ty under the articles to interfere, but
took to the broad ground of American
ism. He called upon Admiral Duarte
and Insisted that the men be sent back to
America. His protest had the desired
effect. Another incident occurred when

stood HIM in food stead. Admiral Mello,

THE SHEEP BREEDERS.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING.
Notwithstanding the dullness of the
sheep business, there was fair repre-
sentatiOn of the members present at the
annual meeting of the Vermont Merino
Sheep Breeders association. which was
held in the lower room of the town hall
on Wednesday, beginning at L o'clock.
President John IL. Mead of West Rut-
land made brief remarks on calling the
meeting to order. lie referred to the
losses of prominent members which the
association had sustained during the
year and to the depressed condition of
the wool industry. No other business
has so many ups and downs as this, and
the fact that it is down now should en-
courage those who are breeding well to
look for substantial rewards for their
labor when the rise comes. as it must
very soon. With adequate protection
the industry will prosper. If the tariff
of 1867 were in force now, the breeding
of sheep and the manufacturing of their
wool would give employment to 10000
600 persons. The opportunities for com
parlson of our sheep with those of other
parts of the country afforded at Chicago
should have fitted us the more inttli-
gently and fully to meet the demand for
sheep when the demand comes and if
we keep up this association to its old
standard the breeders of the West will
know where to come when they want
new blood for their flocks. Young men
should be encouraged to embark in the
business. Too many old flocks are going
out of existence and too few new ones
are being established.
Charles A. Chapman, the secretary.
when called on for his report said he
had no formal statement to make eX-
cept what was embodied in the auditors
report. He did say, however, that on
the lst of January last there were on the
books of the association the names of
4l5 members. OF these, 10 had paid
up their dues in full. while the other
800 were in arrears. Some of the latter
had paid since January l and statements
had been sent to the rest He thought
Sl3O to 5000 would come in from them
in the course of "A very few weeks.
John A. James of Weybridge, the
auditor. submitted his report, as follows

The good Democratic New York Sun,

The good Democratic New York Sun,
which believes in protection but not in
the income tax, is in panic because of
the present shape of the Wilson bill,
which it thus luridly describes in an
editorial paragraph headed blouse Bill
No. 4, IL, A.:
This is the correct number of the VII
son bill for deficiency and larceny. 1t
is bill to reduce the Democratic party,
provide deficiency, continue culmina-
ton, leave the constitution unyindicated,
and for other and all purposes save and
except the production of revenue only.
House bill No. 1, IL, II is the work of
statesmen by accident only and states
men for defeat only. 1t represents the
ripe economic culture of alfalfa-grass
statists and cowyard financiers. 1t is as
fair as Injustice and as honest as stealing (;
and It shows degree of wisdom that
might do credit TO a cretinOus idiot

for her. but two bottles of DR.. Kings New
Discovery completely cured her and she
says it saved her life. MIR. Thos. EggeI =,

from dreadful cold approaching con-
sumption, tried without result every
thing and then bought one bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery. and in two weeks
was cured. He is naturally thankful.

Sanford and Secretary Chapman debated
the salary question. 1t was finally set
tied that Mr.. chapman should be paid
800 on condition that he pay the office
rent.
On motion of |. L. IIamblin the secre-
tary was instructed not to register or
transfer stock for any member who had
not paid his dues.
Secretary Chapman submitted the fol-
lowing resolution, which was unanimous
ly adopted:
Resolred, That the measure now before
congress, known as the Wilson bin, is In
every way detrimental to the sheep and
wool industry of the country and that we
hereby pray our representatives to use all
their strength to defeat it.
Tht II and lastly came discussion as
to whether or not the rule forbidding
the registration of lambs sired by rams
not in the ''stock ram list" should be en-
forced. Secretary Chapman thought it
of doubtful utility. In Mr.. Bissell's
opinion the fee for putting a ram in this
list, % cents, was very small and no
breeder ought to object to paying it..
Edgar Sanford. j. II. Mead and j. j.
Crane all favored the rule and its en-
forcement; and so it was allowed to
stand.
