with the sending OF delegates to
New England from various loca
tions in the South to impress upon
the mill men the advantages of
their respective sections. The re-.
suit of such visits have been gen.
orally Disappointing, but az the
Record remarks, what else could be
expected? No manufacturers is going
to invest 100000 or $4,000 in a
locality he perhaps has never seen,
simply on the representations of
strangers, nor will he commit him
self as to his purpose to visit or the
amount Of his Investment until he
has made his own Investigation and
perfected his plans.
The Record very sensibly con-
oludes that:
mot mill will be built by
Northern capital in any south
ern State until the men who propose
building IL have thoroughly exam.
lned the available sites throughout
this section, either personally or
through competent representatives.
If they intend Investing In the South
they will select the very best local.
lty, considering power, transporta
tiou facilities, cheapness of property,
nearness TO raw material, chances
OF obtaining operatives, etc. Their
business Judgment tells them that il
is better to spend, perhaps, several
months in examining all the proper
ties which may come 10 their atten-
ton. and spend, perhaps, 1000 or
900 III dong 30, than to select Que
OF a balf-dozen places, and find too
late that they have overlooked a
better base for manufacturing"
This is the true business view to
take. The VIRGlNIAN fully believes
with its Baltimore contemporary
that the mill owners OF the North
are looking Southwark, and it is
grstihed with the information it
lmparts that the Record has knowl
edge that cat least nine big corpor
atoms in New England have begun
to make preparations to get ready
to look for factory sites in the cot
ton States. and it estimates that
these companies will eventually in.
vest from $1,000, 600 to 81, 500, 900 III

PHILADELPHIA NOT alone

PURIPICATION FOR PITTSBURG
A Strong Pressure Is Being Made to Have

Municipal Legislation Needed.

Philadelphia, Sept. 19.-Philadelphia
VIII not have the exclusive attention of
Senator Penrose's investigating COM
mhhtee. for from the present aspect of
anairs the "LeXowing'' process will
be carried out to Plttsburg, where
STRONG pressure Is being brought to
bear on the committee to pay the smoky
city a visit.
state Senator Penrose was seen to-
day and questioned as to whether the
committee had authority to investigate
the municipal affairs of Pittsburg. In
reply he said:
"The committee was appointed on
the petition of the Municipal associa.
ton, of Philadelphia, but as far as the
committee are concerned they would
very cheerfully go to Pittsburg IL the
people of THAT city desire 1t. AS Mr.
Magee has stated that he would well
come the committee into Allegheny
county. I do not believe there would
be anybody left to dispute its author
ity.
THE committee could certainly hear
voluntary testimony. even If there was
any question as to its Jurisdiction. One
OF the objects of the committee Is to
recommend legislation at the next ses-
sion of the legislature looking towards
Improvement in municipal government.
and they will undoubtedly visit other
cities with the view of comparing their
municipal institutions. 1t is proba BILE,
therefore, that they will visit Pittsburg
in any event"
THE committee" he added, "will un-
doubtedly begin active work in Phla-
delphia the first week in October, and
as it does not have to report until Janu-
ary, 1897. 1t has ample time to complete
the Investigation"

WILD MAN OF STONY CREEK,
Farmers Unable to determine the Identity
of q Chicken Thief

LaPorte, Ind, Sept. 19.-For a week
past farmers living near Stony creek,
Noble county, have missed chickens
and sheep from their places. Yester-
day John Holly, a farmer living on the
creek, reported that at an early hour
in the morning his wife was awakened
from her sleep by weird noises and an
unusual commotlon in the sheep pen
back of the barn. Holly arose. and,
taking his gun cautiously approached
the sheep pen. He had not gone more
than few steps when he saw the
nude figure of a man, his face COW
cred with long hair run in the direction
of the woods. Holly quickly fired. but
the unknown man disappeared in the
darkness.
The neghborhood was aroused and q
posse oI men started in pursuit of the
wild man. In the heavy timber land
they came upon the smoldering en-
bers of fire. on which chickens and
sheep had been roasted indicating
that the depredations had been com
mitted by the man whose identity is
enveloped in mystery. 1t is said that
about three years ago n farm hand
named James Sweet was driven out
of that community. and was never
heard of again. 1t is now believed the
wild man is Sweet and that he is
suffering from some form of derange-
ment.

ed a case of molasses and feathers in

severe and Welna was discharged.
