Judge Plowman of the Eighth Judicial
Circuit Court, requested all the ATTORNEYS
of the Lawrence County bar to be present
ut the circuit court. At the stated hour
nearly all of them were on hand and
Judge Plowman stated that he wished to
call the attention Of the bar to a matter
that had been a source of much annoyance
to him in the past. He stated that a great
many times that clients in his courts had
even come to his house at midnight ami
had made complaint against certain mem.
bers of the bar charging in some cases EN-
bezzlement. 1t had frequently reachedhiS
ears that certain attorneys had not only
not fairly and justly represented their
clients at court, but had actually been
guilty Of selling out to their opponents,
and he wished the members of the bar 10
organize a bar association for the purpose
of maintaining the honesty and integrity
of the bar and to relieve him of the IT,
spOnsibiliiy. A committee was appointed
for the purpose of framing a constitution
and bylaws for a bar association.

The triennial conyocation of the Episco-
pa olelgy OF south Dakota was held at
Sioux Falls. The conference with Bishop
Hare, who lives there, was important, as
1t brought together the clergy TO receive
advice from the bishop and help him by
relating their experiences. The work OF the
Episcopal Church in this state is narticu-
larly important on account of its large
work among the Indians. There are al
ready seventy-seven missions established
ana HE work is constantly growing.
These missions are presided over either by
regularly ordained ministers from the
Sioux NIB or those who will sooner or
later BE- ordained.

FIRE.
Several Large Buildings Almost
Completely DESTROYED.


Philadelphia special: Fire was discov-
cred in the six story brick building at 1l6
Chestnut Street, occupied by Charles j.
Webb Il Co., dealers in yarns and wool
ems, and within half an hour no less than
SIX adjacent buildings were in flames.
The Webb building was fanked by the
five story chemical works of Charles Len
ming at III South Fourth Street. The in
tiammable substance with which the
buildings were stored spread the blaze
with amazing rapidity and a general
alarm was sounded. The Webb building
had been Quilted from roof to cellar almost
before the firemen could put the first
stream On ii and they then directed their
energies to saving the adjoining buildings.
The flames first spread to us Chestnut
Street, occupied by II. b. HestOn e. Co.,
commission merchants, and burned
through to Englc Street, a small thorough
fare in the rear. The blaze then extended
on the right to the buildings of Bucking-
ham N Parlson. cotton yarns, 120 Chest
nut Street, and James E. Mitchell, wool
ems, 122, and on the left to Richard A.
Blythe, No. III, and Keyser, Fisher Il Co.,

flames were largely confined to the rear.

THE WEEK IN TRADE.
THE BUSINESS WORLD AS SEEN
BY DUN & co.
Advances in Wheat, Flour and
WOol-General Trade Was lr,
regular-Says He is Not After
Eu sits Place.
Dun 4 Coz Review.

New York special: r. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade will say:
The speculation in cotton has lifted tho
price IS of a cent during the past week,
and quotations here are so much higher
than at Liverpool that free exports can
not be expected. 1t seems no longer pos
sible to hope for a good crop. The ac-
counts of injury and loss grow more dis
NAL each week. and while they may be
somewhat exaggerated the general outlook
is decidedly unfavorable. But for the ex-
traordInary supplies carried over from
last year the manufacturers abroad would
be in trouble. but the prices Of goods rise
each week, adding to the profits of mills
which on both sides of the ocean can use
for some time to come old cotton bought
at low prices. 1t is not yet clear how far
the consumption will support the manu-
f~acturers at the present rate, and at present
prices for goods, though the demand from
dealers is naturally urgent, while for the
raw material is constantly rising. There
is still some chance for a strike in the
Fall River mills, though the rise in price
will make it easier for the mills to grant
some advance in wages.
The wheat market has been excited
without much discoverable reason, and
the price has advanced over ) cents for
spot and 81 cents for December deliveries.
1t may be said that crop prospects abroad
are not quite as favorable as they were a
month ago.. and, with a short supply at
best in this country, the market is liable
to be unusually sensitive. Western re-
ceipts for the week have been 1901 1858
bushels, against 5,432,254 last year. The
exports from Atlantic ports, flour in
Glued, have been 1,SS7 ,50l bushels, against
2,440.5S4 last year.

DURRANT'S TRIAL.
The Attorney Insinuates that Bev.
Gibson Committed the Murders. y

AAbO NIQN kCvs
Gibson Committed h Murders. y
San Francisco special: The department
OF the superior court in which Theodore
Durrant is on trial for the murder of
Blanche Lamont was a scene of excite
ment Thursday. The announcement by
the district attorney that "the people rest"
and the subsequent statement of attorneys
for the defense that the would be ready to
proceed brought a crowd to the city hall
that could not secure admission to a hall
ten times the size of the room set apart for
the trial. Although the occasion was of
gravest Importance to Durrant he was
the most cool and impressive individual
present.
Shortly after the converting of court At
torney Eugene Duprey, for the defense,
began his opening statement. His init
nation that the murder was committed
not by Durrant, but by Rev. John George
Gibson, pastor Of Emmanuel Church,
made a significant allusion to the resem-
blance of the preachers handwriting to
the lettering on the paper enclosing
Blanche Lannon'S rings, created a marked
III paw buEi's anu
The district attorney has presented IA
strong chain of clrcumstantial evidence,
which would at first create a strong sus-
piciOn OF the guilt of the defendant. We
claim that beyond a strong suspicion the
prosecution has failed 10 60. Where did
Blanche Lamont forfeit her life? When
did she meet her death? Who caused her
death? These questions have not been
answered. A fourth question is the cause
Of death. 4 fifth is not and cannot be
answered: What was the motive of the
accused to takc the life of Blanche La
mont? Under the testimony thus far we
claim to ask the court to instruct the jury,
without one word. to acquit. We insist
that the proper proof is wanting to con-
meet Thu defendant with the murder. We
will show that other men had access to
Emmanuel Church. Proof may point to
others"
