The BliQhtinQ Frost.

The weather bureau Monday fur
nished the following special bulletin
to the press:
"The unusually warm weather
that prevailed last week throughout
the Missouri and Upper Mississippi,
etc., Valleys, the Lower Lake re-
gion, Middle Atlantic States and
New England has been followed by
wave of extremely low temperature
throughout those same districts, the
extremes, both of high and low
temperature, exceeding IN many
cases the record of any previous year
for the first half of May.
"The warm wave began on We'd
nesday, the 8th, in the Missouri
Valley, with maximum temperatures
ranging from 80 degrees to 100 de-
grees, and moved gradually east
ward, reached the Middle Atlantic
States ana New England on Friday.
The cool wave set in the northwest
on Friday night, frosts being re-
!, 2prted Saturday morning as far
South as Kansas and Missouri, and
extended to the Atlantic coast by
this morning, producing light frosts
as far south as Chattanooga and
Lynchburg. Killing frosts occurred
Sunday morning IN Nebraska, Iowa
and Michigan, and this morning in
Michigan, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia.
warnings of these frosts were
sent out by the Weather Bureau on
the day preceding their occurrence
to all the districts affected.
"Snow occurred along the lakes
in Michigan and Wisconsin. A
storm which developed suddenly
during the last twenty-foar hours
and is now central in the Ohio Val
lev, will probably cause a still fur
Their fall in temperature as it moves
eastward, producing freezing
weather in the Lower Lake region
and in northern portions of New
York and New England"

The Southern Exposition.

Work at the grounds of the Cot

ton has progressed rapidly during
the past week. The Fine Arts
building is rapidly approaching
completion, and the Transportation,
Agriculture, Machinery, Govern
ment and Forestry buildings are
-..Sc.diy taking on the appearance of
completed structures. The Elec-
tricity building is almost finished.
On the night of the 10Th of May,
the International Order Of Railway
Conductors, which meets in annual
convention in Atlanta this week,
will give ball in the Electricity
building, the use of the structure
for that purpose having been
granted by the Exposition manage
ment. Several thousond delegates
with their wives and friends will at
tend. The building will easily ac-
comodate the large crowd, and the
immense floor will furnish splen-
did dancing platform. An army of
workmen is engaged on the grounds
and buildings, and the Exposition
daily approaches nearer to the pic
ture which will be presented when
it opens.

spicuous agitation in favor of ma
tional free coinage in the south and
the west, which has caused some
uneasiness at the east; yet that
excitement exists only among the
least intelligent and least interested
classes, and has had the whole
some effect of arousing the more
influential citizens to action calcu-
lated to enlighten public opinion
upon the true practical merits OF
the question. Already the fanati-
cal pro-silverites are beginning to
show an abatement of their furore,
and a great work Of education Is in
process which promises to settle the
SILVER question upon an absolutely
safe foundation. Foreign observ-
ers seem to be in a better position
for observing the drift of these
great national agitatlons than we
are on the spot. We limit our
observations to our respective local,
tiles, and hence get merely sectional,
estimates of the situation. They
see the whole field and can better
Judge of the issue of the conflict,
and from such Impressions as they
have received it looks as though
they are counting upon the success
of the friends of sound money. |
do not hesitate to express my own
undoubting conviction that their
expectations will be realized.
We have now reached IN advan-
ced stage of the spring business,
an ! in some branches Of trade the
seasons demand is abating; but
yet there is nothing to show any
impairment of the spirit Of conf
dence and the improvements of bus
mess that set in at the earlier stage.
Some check to certain branches of
manufacturing has arisen from a
premature and indiscreet demand
for higher wages. That, however,
may be regarded as only tempo
rary incident; it suggests however
the encouraging inference that the
demand for labor is increasing.
The returns of all the clearing
houses of the United States, for
the last week of April, show an
increase in bank clearings Of 2O.7
per cent. over the same week of
1894 and are almost identical with
those of 1892, showing that bust
ness has regained its ante-panfS
normal volume. The crop reports
are generally encouraging and, in
wheat, indicate probable increase
over the crop of 1894. The iron
trade, almost alone among the
industries, remains dull; which
seems to be the effect of makers
having demanded an advance in
prices which buyers are not yet will
ing to pay. The gross earnings of
the railroads, IN spite of the light
ness of grain freight. are showing a
very general increase.
These symptoms indicaee that the
recovery in business is genuine and
destined to permanency. The effect
upon the market for securities can
not but be beneficial. The course
of prices of stock for the moment
may depend very much upon the
action of the foreign markets; but,
at the same time, local speculation
may be expected to be stimulated
by the fact that the recent rise in
prices has added some 100000, 900
to the value of stock dealt in at the
New York exchange, which means
very large profits to the "bull"
spe culators, and consequent stimu-
lus to buying. HENRY CLEws.

Jefferson County.


The B. & o. Field, in an article on
West Virginia, says of Jefferson
county:
Jefferson county is the eastern ex-
tremity of tie State, and is noted for
the great fertility of its soil and its
rich mineral resources. The eharac-
ter of the soil is clay, loan and shale
for grain and grass unsurpassed in
the State and seldom equalled in fer
tiIity. The adaptability of the soil
for grain and stock raising is unex-
celled, while the nearness to the east
ern markets gives it Jefferson
county, an advantage over other sec
tions of the State. Spring lambs,
poultry, butter, eggs and all kinds
of farm produce from the country
are in the eastern city markets from
two to four hours from the place of
production, whiIefruit cultivation is an
industry with great possibilities. The
cement works on the Potomac river,
below Shepherdstown, turn out
superior quality of hydraulic cement.
Harper's Ferry, at the junction of
the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers,
rests nthe centre of a triangle formed
by the three heights, VIZ: Maryland,
Lou6oun and Bolivar, each being in
different State. Here is good
water power and splendid locations
for factories.
The-county has first-class shipping
facilities, having both the Main Line
and Valley Division of the Baltimore
& Ohio r. r., the Norfolk & Western
r. r., and the Chesapeake & Ohio
canal.
Iron ore of from fifty to sixty per
cent. of pure iron, and in paying
quantities, has been mined and
shipped to some extent. Washed
specimens of lead have been picked
up. A great iron industry will be
built up here, and the ore will be
developed on an extensive plan.
Limestone and marble are in album
dance, also building stone.
Nowhere has the hard woods been
more in request than the hickory,
walnut and white oak of Jefferson
county. Bark and sawed lumber is
plentiful in the market.
Charles Town, pushing, active
town, is tue county-scat. A number
of factories have been located here
recently, and the town has grown
rapidly.
