YOUNG MAN, GO SOUTH.
Hoke Smith on the Progress of
the South.

Hon. Hoke Smith, secretary of
the interior, in an interview at
Baltimore with the Manufacturers
Record in regard to the business
outlook of the South, based on in
vestigations during his recent trip,
says:
81 have never seen the south
look SO prosperous, especially
Georgia.
"Hard times are rapidly becom-
ing extinct, and / believe that the
southern states are moving on to
the most prosperous epoch in their
history.
Georgia farmers will make this
year better corn crops and more
meat than ever before.
at is safe to say that the food
supply of that state, if properly
distributed, will be sufficient for
two years consumption.
"Cotton is sufficiently advanced
to secure good crop, and while
Texas is behind in probable pro-
duction. Georgia and the adjoining
states will furnish an average
yield"
Secretary Smith says he believes
that the industrial boom in the
south, which was temporarily set
back by the late panic, is on again.
Cotton manufacturing was never
more successful in the south than
it is today and all through the cot
ton belt new mills are being erect
ed and Old mills are being en-
larged.
Much of this is being done by
home capital, although a number
of New England people are max
ing large investments in cotton
manufacturing companies in the
south.
In the iron districts of Alabama
a nuber of furnaces have recently
gone into blast, and the workmen
in that section are now fully en-
ployed, and many of them at in
creased wages.
ALI over the south the demand
for labor is constantly increasing
and at good prices.
Conditions were never better for
a return of prosperity unexampled
In the history of that section.
IF our people continue in their
present conservative way, much of
the flow of eastern capital which
has has hitherto travelled else
where, will come to Us. The place
for Young man, an old man, a
rich man or poor man willing to
work and anxious to improve his
fortune" concluded the secretary,
''is in the south"

OBJECT OF THE SALE.
Scranton Base Ball Association After a
Clean nil Of Health.


"A mistaken idea seems to have been
created by the present financial trouble
of the Scranton Base Ball club. The
placing of the affairs of the associa-
tion in the hands of the sheriff has
given rise to the opinion that the asso-
citation, its franchise and all but it's
memory Is near the end of its exist
ence. A few understand the situation
correctly and realize that the present
legal muddle was the result Of a delib-
crate effort to put the affairs of the
association in such shape as will per-
NIT 1t to sell It's franchise.
Burdened with debt, the franchise,
II sold two weeks ago, would not have
brought the $500 said to have been
offered by Fall River. In addition to
that sum the buyers would have had
to shoulder the debts, and that Is not
pickle business men rush for with
their eyes open. The franchise Is SNon
to be sold at sheriff's sale. II ii g
bought in by the present owners they
will be enabled to sell again without a
debt to be taken into consideration.
Tim Hurst. the National league UNI
pire, is in the city and Is negotiating
for the purchase OF the franchis. He
says ne represents others who win
take a part interest. Report indicates
that Hurst is here In the interest of
Pat Powers. president of the Eastern
league, who wants to see Newark slip
into the gap.

Tor rImmorol Purposes.

London, Oct. 27.-The trial of Count
Emich, of Alt ngen-Westerburg,
who was charged with inducing q
young girl named Lizette Schweisofer
to come to London from Germany and
keeping her here for Immoral pur-
poses. took place in the criminal court,
Old Bailey, today, and resulted in a
verdict of guilty. The count was or
igina1ly arrested on an extradition
warrant charging him with abduction.
This was withdrawn and the prisoner
was discharged, but as he was leaving
court he was rearrested on the charge
of procuring. 1t was shown that the
young girl was compelled to lead an
immoral life, and turn over the money
she obtained to the count and his COM
panion, a woman named Olga Bauern-
feind.
Count Enrich was sentenced to two
years imprisonment at hard labor.
The woman, Olga Bauernfeind. who
was tried Jointly with the man, was
found guilty and sentenced to prison
for eighteen months. Gellem. an .ac-
complice in running the girl, was sem
fenced to six months imprisonment.

SHIFFER CLAIM SETTLED.
A Cause of Much Bother Has Now Doubt
Icssly Been Removed.

THE Frank Shiffer claim is in a fair
way to be amicably settled. Mayor
Connel. City Solicitor Torrey and Con-
troller WIdmayer, on Saturday, had a
second consultation with Attorney
Rhoades. who represents Shiffer and
made an offer of s374 as final settle
ment which 1t Dis Likely, Mr.. Rhoades
said, would be acceptable.
The original claim was for $4,000.
Shiffer bad 1.-THE contract for construct
ing the approaches to the Swetland
street bridge and when the city was
compelled to cease operations to avert
litigation with adjoining property
owners, Shiffer signed release from
the contract and accepted $4,000 for the
work he had already done
When the contract for the Linden
Street bridge approaches, Including the
Swetland street bridge approaches was
recently let to King & Cleary Shiffer
felt that he ought to have his con-
tract reviewed and entered a claim for
the S6, 1000 balance. He also entered the
plea THAT HE was of unsourd mind
when he signed the release. The city
felt neither legally nor morally obli-
gated to consider the question of the
release, but agreed to consult with
regard to the Justice of the amount paid
fer the work done.
Councils will be glad when THE matter
Is finally adjusted for THE auditing COM
mittee has been bothered at nearly
every meeting with thls claim.

1T MAY FALL THROUGH.
Not Enough Money Available for Improve
ment Of Ninth and Robinson Streets.

Another futile effort was made Sat-
urday to bring about an amicable ad-
justment Of the difference between the
attorney and the property holders on
Ninth and Robinson streets, portions Of
whose land Is wanted for the WIDEN
ing and Improvement of those thor
oughfares.
1t looks now as If condemnation pro-
ceedings will have to be resorted to or
the project dropped entirely. The lat
ter is the more probable. The value
Of the needed land Is somewhere in the
neighborhood of $1,000. The money
available for the purchase Of the prop
erty is less than $500. About $2l0 will
be left over from the original appro-
priation of $3.000 the city engineer hav-
Ing estimated that the cost of the i'm
provements in themselves will be 81, $50,
and to this councils have added 81, 500,
transferred from the remaining bal
ance Of the fund for purchasing ap-
proaches to the Linden street bridge.
This will not begin to settle the
claims and as there Is no other money
In sight, the West Side will probably
have to wait until the next meeting OF
the estimate committee, which occurs
in March. before steps can be taken to
provide suitable approach.

TIMOTHY HEALY'S PAPER.
1t Is Said lie VIII Start 1t with Money
Made in Mining Stocks.

london, Oct. 27.-It is understood
that the $4,000 with which Timothy
Healy will start a new daily news
paper in Dublin in opposition to the
Freeman's Journal, the organ of the
arti-Parnellites, is part of the total
of 100000 which he and Messrs.
Chance and O'Driscoll. ex-members of
Parliament. have made in the stock
market in the past few months by spe-
culation in the South African mining
boom.
Mr.. Healy is encouraged to believe
that his new Parliament organ, which
started with q capital of f37, 900. is Al
ready a profitable enterprise. But the
Independent has the good will and re-
Spect of the people of Dublin behind
1t, which is more than can be said of
the venture that Mr. lHealy is about to
embark upon.

Scranton Foot Ball Club Played an
Excellent Game Saturday.
Shamokin, Oct. 27.-Shamokin and
Scranton played very exciting and
hotly contested game here yesterday
afternoon, the latter team winning by
a score of so in two twenty-five min
ute halves. About one thousand spec
tators watched the game, which was at
times exceedingly rough. Scranton
outplayed the home team at every
point, their interference being superb
and their tackling hard and sure.
Brennan, Wilson, Jones and Mari,
the latter an old Lehigh Varsity play
er, did the best work for Shamokin,
while the individual playing of the Wis.,
tors was lost in their excellent team
work. However, Decker. Allen and
Coggins made some excellent tackles,
while the three center men, Cleveland,
Connery and Murphy, held like stone
wall
Jones kicked off in the first half for
Shamokin, Decker catching and gain
ing ten yards before being downed.
Posner went through left tackle for
eight yards and Connry followd
through the same place for five more.
Decker ran around the left end for
twnty yards and Thayer plunged
through Mansfield and Liver for eight
more. Shamokin now received the ball
on tumble. Brennan dashed around
the left end for ten yards. Jones tried
left guard, but could not gain, however.
MARI edged around the left end for
three yards.
On the next play Scranton received
the ball on tumble and behind a cloud
Of Interference. Owens ran thirty yards
around the left end for a touchdown
Decker Kicked the goal making the

line. where Decker carried the ball out
of bounds. Connery plunged through
the line for fifteen yards, and lost the
ball on a tumble, Wilson falling on dt
behind the line, making a safety. Score
so.
In the second half neither side scored
though 1t was very evident that Scran-
ton could have scored again If they had
played faster game. 1t could easily
be seen that the visitors were tr-yingf
to shut Shamokin out as they played
very carefully and slowly, taking no
chances and combining themselves to
short plunges through the line.
One minute before the second half
was finished Thayer plunger through
left tackle and end for ten yards and
was thrown so hard by Brennan that
his ankle was sprained.
