ing to the interruption Of Geographic

New YORK, Dec. 15.-R. g. Dun &

kindness of several thousand ,nanufac-
turers, who have forwarded statements
of the pay rolls of November-this

ison of earnings for that month, which
shows an increase in total payments OF
1872 per cent. over last year, but de-
crease of 1873 per cent. in comparison
with 1892 The accompanying state.
ment of hands employed shows in the
ablishments 10.2 per cent more wero
employed than a year ago. but Sc per
cent less than in 1892. The average
earnings for over o50,000 hands is per
cent. larger than in 1893. but is l4H
per cent. less than in 1892, and this
statement takes no account of hours
of work in the month out of establish
ments not working at all this year. In
some Of the industries more hands are
at work than in 1892, but in others the
decrease is large. With the other
statements, which are now being re-
ceived daily, more exact comparison
will be possible.
Contradictory changes in business
are quite in order this season. Neither
the larger orders in some branches.

with last year in November.
THE exchanges through the clear

shown an increase of 1913 per cent.
over last year, and decrease OF 24.6

The shortage dates from last July. On
the 10th of that month four $500
checks passed into the Citizens
bank. Only three of those checks
have ever been accounted for. They
were last in Huntington's hands. In

ALBANY, n. y, Dec. l5.-John I. Nc
Donough, delegate-at-large to the
Constitutional convention. denies the
statement of Superintendent of Prisons
Lathrop that the new section OF the
constitution prohibiting competitive
prison labor will in any way compel
all of the prisoners in theinstitution to
remain idle He says: THE prisons of
the state can be employed the year
around with active employment if the
superintendent will put them at the
work of making articles for the prisons
ers themselves, and for the $4,000 pris-
oners uow cared for in the various

Then large number Of them can be
put at work on the roads of the state.
England does not sell the product Of

DEBs GUILTY.
Inc Strike leader Held for Contemplate
Gets Six Months, and Other Defendants
Three Months in Jail.

Three Months in Jail.
CHICAGO, Dec 15-Eugene Y. Debs
was found guilty of contempt by Judge
Woods Friday.
Debs was sentenced to six months
imprisonment and the rest Of the de-
PENDANTS to three months in jail. with
the exception OF McVean. who has not
been sentenced yet
All of the defendants were in court
with the exception of Leroy ". Good
win, whose whereabouts are not
known and who could not therefore be
notified. The contempt for which the
defendants were arraigned was a vio-
lation of an injunction issued July =,
by Judges Woods and Grosscup which
forbade all men not to interfere with
trains in any manner whatsoever.
1t was claimed by the United States
district attorney that Debs and the
other officers and directors of the
American Railway union repeatedly
violated this order of the court by is
suing directions to their licutcnants all
over the country to call out the men
and advising the crippling of the com
plcte railroad system OF the United
States, if possible. The defense made
was that Debs and his assistants had a
right to order strikes and to continue
to conduct their side Of the fight
against the railroads.
Judges Woods and Grosscup were
both on the bench when the. bearded
little bailiff raped the court to order.
They sat in the United States court OF
appeals and gave several decisions OF
minor Importance before Judge Woo;ls
came to the decision for which the big
crowd was waiting.

children were thrown into a panic at
the home of Mrs. Geo. c. Truesdel1, by
the accidental tipping over of large

about until two or three Of the older
lads dragged them into the halls, where
the burning clothes were pulled off.
Several of them suffered painful in.
juries, and one or two narrowly es-
capped fatal burns. The interior Of the
residence was DESTROYED.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. lit is not like
ly that C. A. Blixt, the self-confesscd
murderer of Catherine Cling, will be
hanged. He will be brought before
Judge Hicks. OF the district court Mon
day, where he will enter plea Of

able criminal lawyers, to defend him,
but when they attempted to hold a
consultation with him Sunday, Blixt re-
fused to have anything to do with
