In Attendance at the State Dem
 ocratic Association
IN SESSION AT RALEIGH.
Ransom, Mansur, Chauncey F. Black and Other Speak
 ers-A Great Success.

RALEIGH, N. o., Sept. 2o.-This morn ing there arrived on the Atlanta special the following gentlemen, who came here for the purpose of attending the meeting of the State Democratic Association of clubs, which met here today in the Academy of Music: Hon. Chauncey F. Black, Law renee Gardner, Charles H. Mansur and Josephus Daniels.
 The day was ushered in by the marching of the clubs behind national music. At Il o'clock the exercises were opened by Col. Julian s. Carr, president, in short and graceful opening of the program me, which was eloquent and elaborate, setting forth the demands upon the southern peo- pie for them to remain with the democratic party.
 He was followed by Senator Ransom. The senator arraigned the republican party for it's neglect of the south, and defended the democratic party and the senate tariff bill. The senator Said that the currency problem was the only one left to be dealt with by the party, and it would be taken up the 4th of March next. lie believed in gold and silver being equal, and in re- demption of paper money by the metal.
 Be spoke of the millions saved to the country by the democratic party and closed with tribute to the north and an appeal to all northern people by that party which was born with the union and which had put these people on an equality With all respects with those in any part of the land.
 Senator Ransom was followed by Charles H. Mansur, whose effort had most happy and wholesome effect upon the audience. Prominent citizens said that 1t would be of iEcalculabie good for the state and urged the speaker to give his services later in the campaign.
 MT. Mansur's speech was chiefly devoted to detailed and studied defense of the tariff bill and he closed with a warm allusion to his lifelong sympathy with the south and with beautiful tribute to it's people.
 Adjourn ment took place until 8 o'clock when the academy was packed to over flowing.
 lion. Chauncey F. Black began his re- marks in witty vein saying, s'I am a democrat from Pennsylvania, which brought down the house. "The reputa- tion of Pen nsylvania is aone of tue best' said he in ''this part of the world. U The speaker continued h a happy vein coming up slowly to careful discussion of live issues and industrial needs. He was en- Enthusiastically received.
 MT. Black was followed by Hon. Law renee Gardner, who provoked great ap- plause. Mir. Gardner made rapid review of the democratic party, pointing to it's leaders with a challenge for their equal. He urged active work by the clubs, and in- digDantiy denied that the conditions re- gently existing were in any way chnrgeable to the democracy.
 He urged the clubs to stand together, take counsel with the leaders and keep away from present beresies.
 The meeting was a great success and brought together a great crowd from all parts of the state.

FOUND WHICH PLACES THE ATLANTA
 MURDER AT WILL MYERS DOOR.
 ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 20.-It developed today that Will Myers, who is wanted here for numbering Forest Crowley, changed bis clothing after the murder on Tuesday at Folsom's European hotel on Marietta street. Myers registered at the hotel Mon- day as 0. D. Moorlein. collar which was left in the room is marked Myers. Crowley's purse was among the clothing. All the money had been taken, but some of CroWley's papers were in it.
 Myers had made some calculations with a pencil on cuffs. At first it was thought this calculation referred to the prorata of the murderers. There is not much doubt, {, however, that the figures related to the price of mules, which Myers pretended he wanted to buy from Crowley.
 A fellow. passenger on the East Tennessee train on which Myers left the city, says that the young man was in a gay mood. Myers introduced himself to some passen. gers in the parlor car as Myers and talked entertainingly with them.
 J. w. COnly, sport. was arrested today in Chattanooga. He was in Atlanta on Tuesday and left here with Myers. It is thought that he had something to do with the murder. Myers is supposed to be in Cincinn nati where he formerly lived.

REVIEW OF TUE IRON TRADE Pig Iron Production on the In-
 CT ase Rapidly
AND IN EXCESS OF DEMAND.
Stocking Up by All Works ln- dicates a Healthy Future
 for the Trade.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 20.-The Iron Trade Review says today: The fact that pig iron production has advanced so rapidly in the past six weeks without cousing any accumulation of stocks, the report on September 1 showing that coke iron on hand had further decreased in August, has been taken as an index of considerably en- larged consumption. It is true that the weekly rate oi pig iron production Septem- Der was greater than in fourteen months, not been long enough in blast on that date to effect stocks.
 There is no question that production is now in excess of current demand, and in Bessemer pig, which is being produced by more than four fifths of the furnaces in Allegheny county and the Mahoning and Shenango valleys, further weakening in price is noted. kor deliveries after this month there have been sales as low as SIPS at Pittsburg. Steel billets have shared in the decline, aud $16.60 can be done for forward deliveries. Here and there fair amount of trading is reported in foundry iron, but the bulk of the buy ing is of the small lot order for quick ship ment and foundry men are not unanimous as to distinct improvement. Pipe foun- ders are generally well supplied with work du0 5OutucIu luIudCCInCu nave bOlu oOlhC round lots of iron ou this account.
 There are evidences that the low freights made some months ago from southern points were prolonged to certain northern territory after the general advance took place. While the railroads have been freer buyers the past month, their pur- chases are not of the kind for which the iron trade has long been waiting. Car shops are more active, and car wheel founders have more to do, though prices are at the lowest point. In finished mate rial there is sharp competition, and buyers are getting the advantage of the anxiety of large producers to keep up the present pace of operations. In nearly all cases the mills are delivering more material than they are selling, and cut prices are inevitable.
 The hopeful phase of the situation Is the wide distribution of demand, indicating that stocking up is the general policy. Mills in the Pittsburg district and iu the central west, including Chicago, seem for the time being in better shape than those in the east, though there is some indica- tion that the latter are returning to the western producers what they have long been paying to the east.

PERFECTLY sOLVEN T

WAS THE FIRM, BUT THE DEATH OF ONE MEMBER CAUSED SUSPENSION.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 20.--James M. White, a well known member of the cotton ex- change, died this mornng at his home in Brooklyn. The cause of death was con sumption, combined with gastric fever. Mir. White was 16 years old when in 1S6l he went into the office of J. L. Abbott x Co.
 He worked his way up in the cotton bus" iness and only by his own resources when his parents were poor. With l.. Il. Zerega he started the firm oi Zerega & Whit. lie later dissolved partnership with MT. Zsrega and started the present firm of J. M. White & Co. Mir. H. H. Johnson is his partner. Just prior to the close of the cotton mar ket today J. E. Totten, the attorney for firm of J M. White & Co. sent the follow ing notice to the superintendent oi the cotton exchange:
 ''Owing to the death of J. White and absence oy sickness of the junior partner of this firm, lam obliged 10 announce temporary suspen sion of this firm.
 ''J. NJ. WHITE & Co.,,
 By J, E. Totien, Attorney.'
 Later MT. ,otten said: ''The firm of J. M. White < Co. would have liqaidated its accounts on October l anyway on account of the ill health of MT. White, the senior partner, but MT. Johnson would have run the business.in his own name at the same place, and possibly will do so, as the firm is perfectly solvent. All accounts will be settled at 100 cents on the dollar.'

A PLATFORM FALLS,
Carrying Down a Large Crowd Dis tance of Thirty Five Feet-One
 Fatality Reported.

AKRON, O., Sept. 20.-A wooden plat form between two South Akron buildings collapsed at 7o'cock last night, carrying seventy five people down distance of 35 feet. Twenty five persons were more or less seriously injured, and one, Joseph Ryan, aged IS, received injuries from which he died few hours later at the res- idence of his parents.
 The platform had been built for the use of a carriage repository, which had re- gently been leased by an athletic club. The club announced an opening entertainment for last night, and the platform became crowded with men anxious to secure good seats for the entertainment.
 A terrible scene of confusion followed the collapse of the structure. Friends hurried to the relief of those struggling under the wreckage, and in their eagerness to release the sufferers many were tram pied almost to death in the dark alley. The police finally appeared, drove off the crowd with clubs, secured a light and went at the work of rescue in a systematic manner. Several of the injured may die.
