FINE WEATHER FOR THE OCCASION
The Procession Greeted by Enthu-
siastic Cheers.
PLANS OF MARYLANDERS

ATLANTA. Ga. November 25.-Although
the morning opened in gloom. the clouds
soon lifted and before noon New York day
had recorded itself as one of the most bril-
liant of the many elaborate occasions that
have been celebrated in Atlanta since the
cotton states and international exposition
opened.
The formalties began with the massing
of the Governors Horse Guards of Atlanta,
the Gate City Guards of Atlanta and a
squadron of the New York troops at the
Aragon Hotel, to escort Mayor Strong and
President Seth Low, the orator of the day,
to the exposition grounds. The pageant, as
1t moved out Peachtree street between
lines of admiring Atlantans. was bril-
liant one and evoked enthusiastic cheers
along the route.
Inside the grounds several thousand peo-
pie were assembled to welcome the caval-
Cade, which moved from the main entrance
to the New York building, where the eX-
ercises of the day were to occur. In the
empire state building the ceremonies were
opened with prayer by DR.. d. II. Parker
Morgan, chaplain of squadron A.
Brief welcoming speeches were then made
by Mayor King of Atlanta and President
Collier of the exposition, after which Mayor
Strong of New York spoke.
President Seth Low CT Columbia next de-
livered the GRAFTON of the day.

CADET sERGEANrs PROMOTED,
Changes in the High School Corn
Caused by ResixnatiOns.


Caused by designations.
A sergeant of the regimental non-com-
missioned staff rendered his resignation at
the close of drill last Thursday and ac-
cordingly there was a general advance
ment Of sergeants and changing about Of
guides in the Central companies at the be-
ginning of drill this afternoon. The officer
who resigned was the regimental ordnance
sergeant, C. L. Billiard. This officer in
tended to resign Immediately after the first
appointments. but held on until Thurs
day in the hope of receiving commission,
but as there has been no resignation
among the commissioned officers as yet,
he Withdrew rather than continue duty in
this position. First Sergeant Chas. Mayer
of company was selected to be the regi-
mental ordnance sergeant, and Second Ser
geant Willard S. Tisdell of the same COM
pany was appointed to fill this vacancy, as
he was the ranking second sergeant. AS
John o. Gheen, the left guide of company
c, was next on the list for promotion, he
b, and II. H. Hazen, tie leading fourth
sergeant, was changed from this position
in company d to that of third sergeant in
company G. Charles F. Fuller, who was
overlooked at the first of the year and
only received a corporalcy, was appointed
to fill the vacancy made In company d by
the promotion of Fourth Sergeant II. H.
Hazen. Tho private standing next in line
of promotion was S. NJ. Clark, who was
accordingly appointed to this position.
1t is rumored that the first battalion
quartermaster, John B. Kelly. is going to
resign as soon as he completes his work
of distributing the uniforms III the first
battalion. If this occurs it is very likely
that Second Lieut.. Howe of company c
will receive this position as he stands first
among the lieutenants of his class. AS to
who would be commissioned second
lieutenant in this case is a matter of con-
lecture, but it Is thought that Wade L.
jolly. the reSimental sergeant major, has
the best chances and would be the one
most likely TO receive the appointment
The much talked of inspection Of the regi-
ment on the White Lot will most prob
ably not occur this year on account of the
bad weather, but the companies will be
inspected at their respective schools Last
Thursday the first battalion, composed Of
COMPANIES from the Central only. was
formed and marched up Rhode Island ave-
nue.. where short drill and a preliminary
inspection was held. 1t may be next year
before the second battalion has a drill, be-
cause it is formed OF companies from the
three branch schools and it is hard
to congregdte them, but it is expected that
it will show up as well without practice as
it generally does.

HERMAN HATTENHAFT's CRIMES.
Killed His Two Children and Then
Himself.


NEW YORK, November 25.-Herman
Hattenhaft. physical instructor. killed his
two children and himself in Brooklyn yes
terday. He lived In Greene avenue with his
wife and two children, the latter very
young.
Hattenhaft went out in the afternoon,
taking the two children with him.
When he had not returned at midnight
his wife started out to look for the three.
The doors of the gymnasium where Hat
tenhaft was employed were found locked,
and were battered In by the police They
found father and children lying dead. The
two children had been shot and killed by
their father. who then shot himself. The
bodies were cold, and the presumption is
that the triple tragedy occurred during the
afternoon. Hattenhaft had been despon-
dent for some time, probably because Of
business troubles. Twelve years ago he
was a pugilist, and was well known in
Brooklyn as an athlete. He was at one
time the instructor in the Brooklyn Ath-
letic Club.
Another Triple Tragedy.
ALLIANCE. Greg, November 25.-Lloyd
Montgomery, che eighteen-year-old boy &C
cused of numbering his father and mother
and d. b. McKercher, has made state
ment to the effect that the latter killed his
father and mother and that he then killed
Mckercher. The police do not believe this
story. and say they expect Montgomery to
make a confession admitting that he COM
mitted all of the murders.

COMMISSION MERCHANTS.
They Will Now Take Out Vendors
Licenses.

AS exclusively announced In The Star of
Saturday, the Commissioners were con-
sidering the advisability of allowing the
commission merchants on Louisiana ave-
nue. to take out vendors licenses and by
that means overcome the law relative to
the obstruction of the street by their goods
Today Captain Miller. representing the
commission merchants. was informed by
the Commissioners that If the merchants
took out vendors licenses and kept fifteen
feet Of sidewalk clear of Instructions they
might continue the use of Louisiana ave-
nue.. Captain Miller replied that the mer-
chants were already paying a fee of $40
per annum as commission merchants, and
the entailment of this additional license
would involve an annual fee for licenses
amounting to $50. However. he thought
the commission merchants would comply
with the suggestion, and take OUT the adj
ditional license.
Will Accept.
Capt. Miller Immediately assembled ma
jority of the merchants in the store of Mr..
Andrews, and notified them of the action of
the Commissioners regarding the vendors
licenses After brief discussion it was
voted 10 b, the sense of the meeting to
take out the vendors licenses for the sake
of peace, and, as one of the merchants eX-
pressed 1t, to stop the persecution on the
port of the Commissioners
With the exception of Thanksgiving tur-
keys, indignation was probably the most
striking feature apparent on Louisiana

Ing adjourned. 1t was the expressed in
tertion of these doing business in that
vicinity to take out vendors licenses until

DUN & CO.'S REVIEW OF TRADE.


New YORK, January 4.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'s weekly review OF trade, which
will be issued Saturday, will say:
Failures for 1894 are fully reported
this week, being l3, ss5 In the United
States and 1856 in the Dominion Of
Canada. Liabilities in the United States
were Sl72, 992 $50. and in Canada Sl7,-
6l6,215. Neither the decrease of over
half In this country, nor the increase OF
over 40 per cent in Canada is surprising,
but the statement shows that most OF
the decrease in the United States
is In manufacturing liabilities, while
the entire Increase in Canada is In lia-
bilties of trading concerns. A few
States, including New York and Penn
sVlvania, show more failures than in
1893. la IL of the last 3S years report
ed liabilities have been larger than In
1894, though for this year aud 1898 the
statement is confined to commercial
failures, as il was not in former years.
The failures have been 1875 In every
Thousand firms doing business; the la
bilties have averaged 1892. n TO each
firm in trade, and in proportion TO the
volume of solvent business represented
by all clearing house exchanges, S2.63
for every $1,000.
The complete review Of different
branches of business places ia clear
light the fact that prices of commodl-
ties are at the lowest level ever known.
The fall since year ago has been 511
per cent, but very unequal in different
branches. In iron and steel products
II per cent; In wool 1874 per cent; in
woolens sand cottons about Is per cent
These changes contrast sharply with
the decline OF wages paid per hours
work, mhch average only 1.2 per cent
less than year ago.
The condition Of industries has been
largely governed by the fall in prices
aud while production is much greater
than a year ago, the aggregate Increase
being fairly measured by the increase
of S. "a per cent In hours OF work done
In November, compared with the pre-
vious year, it has been the controlling
feature in almost every important in
dustry that consumption has not kept
pace with the output, and has not sus-
tanned prices. In iron and steel the
lowest prices of the year are at the close
and the lowest ever known, the
demand calling for less than half
the usual quantity OF rails, with
large decrease 10 m6ay otter branches,
though probably the use of structural
forms was larger In 1904 than ever be-
iors. The wOoleh industry records a
production for the year about a quarter
less than the pormal, and for the last
four months % AZ per cent. less than in
1894 iu quantity OF wool consumed, but
in value of product the decrease was of
course greater. The year has been es
pecially noteworthy for the lowest
prices OF wheat and cotton on record.
Both suffer from wholly unprecedented
accumulation of stocks, the crops being
large. In other produce markets the
wear has been relatively less important.
