MOVEMENT Or MONEY
As Figured Out by the financier, an Authority
 on Such Matters.

New York, June 1.-The Financier says: There is seemingly no cessation in the movement of money toward this center. The statement of the associated banks of New York for the week just ended shows an increase of $1, ,2d6, 100 in the excess reserve, which is now over $40, 900, 900, as compared with the low fig ure of less than half this amount re- ported some months since, when the banks had been paying for the second is- sue of government bonds.
 While the demand for money is seen in the increase of 2,448500 in loans for the current week, the statement can hardly be regarded as a favorable indi- cation of reviving business since the loans in this market are offset by the heavy receipts from the interior, the gain for the present six days from this source being in the neighborhood of $350O,000 The net deposits, as might have been expected increased heavily, the gain be- ing $4,326, 900. The gain of net cash dur ing the week was $2,327 500, of which Sl,056,6 600 was in specie and S1,271 900 legal tenders.
 Despite the unfavorabe feature mem toned, it is a fact that the New York banks have only twice exceeded the present volume of loans, namely, on De- cember 8 and December 15, 1894 and the heavy increase on those dates was prob ably brought about by figuring new United States bonds as loans to the gov- ernment. On November last, however, deposits were reported at $595, 5,l04,9O0 the highest figure reached during the year, or BPS, ,S75, 800 more than the banks are carrying at present, while loans on that date were practically the same as those reported in last weeks statement.
 There is room for encouragement in this fact, but to demonstrate really prosperous era, the statement will first have to show that the money, while com ing to New York in the natural order of business, is yet needed at other points and, therefore, is being withdrawn in- stead of remaining to swell the idle sur plus fund.

AKnottv Problem

The question as to who will be in com mand of the Alabama state troops at the brigade encampment, which begins on June 20 at Mobile, seems to be agitat- ing the minds ofsthe troops to a consider able extent. judging from the large mum Der of inquiries received daily at the adjutant-generaPs office and by other gentlemen here who are supposed to know. The matter of seniority of the three colonels decides it-the one longest in continuous service as colonel being entitled to the command that is, if no brigadier is appointed.
 The Age Herald man today interview ed Capt. Paul Sanguinneti, state oI,l- nance officer and the man to whom the keeping of the record of all com missions issued and cancelled has b zen intrusted for a number of years, and he stated that according to the records in the office Col. Price Williams Jf., of the First regiment was the senior by a number of years, and that there was no record of his ever having resigned his office ofecolonel, his comm ssol be- ing marked "extended" at each elertion.

Attempted Assassination.


just after dark one night last week
man on horseback stopped at the gate
of James Johnson, farmer three miles
north of Kenton, and called to William
Wisdom, farm hand, telling him that
neighbor half mile distant wished
to see him. Wisdom went at once to
the neigh boris, but finding the message
a fabrication started to return. On the
way back he was confronted by the un-
known man, who, having hitched his
horse near by, stepped into the road
and snapped his pistol in the face of
Wisdom, who ran for his home. The
assassin, taking near cut across an
orchard, again got in front of the flee
ing man, and as he came up fired two
shots, one of which took effect in the
stomach. After he fell his assailant
beat him over the head in horrible
manner, fracturing his skull and entire
ly severing one ear. His cries for help
brought Johnson to his aid, and the
murderous assailant, taking his vic TINS
pocket-book, containing only So, ran to
his horse and escaped. Wisdom cannot
recover. No arrests have been made
yet, nor motive for the act discovered,
but the guilty party is supposed 70 live
in the neigh borhood.

rho cold wnve ln Florlda.

During the recent cold spell the mer-
curry dropped to IS degrees at Key West
and Palm Beach, the only points in the
state above freezing. There was a bad
freeze and snow at Tampa, an unprecc-
dented event in that portion of Florida.
Orange and other fruit trees are prob
ably all killed outright, except the
oldest and toughest of them, for they
were naked, budding and full of sap,
therefore particularly susceptible to
cold. The loss will aggregate many
millions of dollars. The average life of
tree is 80 years, which means fully
twenty prospective crops for trees now
beginning to bear. All early vege-
tables were ruined, and 1000 boxes
of strawberries, which would have
been shipped from February 20 TO
March 10, were completely destroyed.
The plants are also ruined. There will
probably be no early Strawberries from
Florida this season.

Verdict for Defendant.

CHATTANOOGA, Feb. 8.-The jury in
the suit for damages of Mrs. Rowena
Hurst against D. B. Loveman returned
verdict this morning in favor of Mr..
Loveman. Mrs. Hurst was employed
by Mr.. Loveman in one of the depart
ments of his store, and was injured in
the fire that consumed the building on
December 26, three years ago, by leap
ing from a window on the third floor of
the building to a ladder erected for the
purpose of her escape. Mrs. Hurst has
since been an invalid, and sued Mr..
Loveman rS1O, 900 damages, which was
refused as stated, the court holding
that the tenant of any building is not
responsible for what his employees may
do in the case of fire or other panic.

Gold Mine in Virginia.

Capt. c. Patteson, of Buckingham,
Va, reports remarkable developments
of gold mining in Buckingham county.
He says the sum of $1OO, 900 was earned
in one year alone from a single mine,
and on the gold vein one nugget worth
$500, one worth $3.50 and one worth 500
have been found. The sum of 81. so
day is the largest amount made by
one hand in single day by the old
fashioned placer-washing. He says,
however, that the cost of getting out
the gold has been SO great that it did
not pay for the expense, but that a dis
covery has just been made that obviates
this. The discovery is that gold is solu-
BILE in the cyanide of potassium. That
is called the cyanide process, and from
samples and all indications it seems to
be peculiarly applicable to Bucl1ing-
ham gold. This process, it is said, will
extract over 30 per cent. of the gold.

An AwfnI Suspicion.

1t has been rumored at Chattanooga,
Tenn, that the mortality among the
children of the poor and ignorant,
chiefly negroes, was far too great to
result from natural causes. Many be-
lieved that this state of things was un-
natural, and claimed that there were
numerous instances in which parents
put their infants out of the way to OBJ
tain insurance carried on their lives.

by President Plunkett of the state
board of health to make a thorough
investigation into the charges and dis
cover the extent of this horrible prac-
tice, if carried on in Chattanooga.

NASHVILLE, Feb. 8.-Gov. Turney to-
day sent in his first veto message, as
follows:
To the Senate-Senate bill No. 124,
entitled, ga bill to be entitled an act to
authorize the city of Memphis to reduce
assessments in certain cases." is re-
turned disapproved.
My reasons for the veto are that its
provisions are confined to one locality,
are inconsistent with the general laws
of the land in that it grants rights to
one class of the community that cannot
be extended to others, nor to other
cities and towns similarly situated.
The law would be subject to the con-
struction of delegating to the Legisla-
tive Council of Memphis the power to
reduce assessments by State, county and
municipal authorities.
A general law of the character indi-
Gated by the bill would, in my opinion,
be proper one, and l recommend that
such be enacted, the reduction to be
made only in cases in which the owner
of the property is in no way originally
responsible for it's destruction.
