JACKSON, Miss, June 22.-Will Purvis,
the Marion county whitecapper, has been
resentenced to hang. Purvis was oon.
victed of killing young man who had
given evidence against whitecaps, and sen
fenced TO death. The day for the execu
tion came and thousands assembled to
witness the hanging. But the sheriff for
some reason or other was not equal to tho
emergency. The rope was tied SO THAI
when the drop fell the moose slipped and
Puryis went to the ground like chunk
of lead instead of dangling in midair,
The sheriff made as il he would try IL
again, but the crowd surged around him
prevented his movements, 80 that the con
demned man was taken back to jail, where
he has since remained. His lawyers
claimed that the law had been vindicated;
but Judge Terrell ruled otherwise, and
sentenced him be hanged again on July 81

CAPTAIN HoMeATE CONVICTED.


Al Appc11 aap n-eo 49,
Come Up In october.
wAsarssTox, 5uns r. For the second
time within six months the Jury In the
case Of Captain Horny w. Howgafe
charged with forgery and embezzlement
from the government while In the signal
service bureau. remained out AL night,
unable to reach an agreement. The main
point Of contention In the Jury room was
the responsibility Of Captain Howgate for
acts Of his subordinates.
The jury wrestied with the problem
throughout Thursday night and at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning reported that
It was unable to agree. Foreman Grove
asked instructions from tho court and
Judge McComas reviewed portions OF this
charge on the question Of forgery.
He pointed out THAT II the jury was con-
WINGED from the evidence that the defend
ant, either with his own hand or the hand
of another, made or procured a false writ
ing In tho body of the voucher set out in
the indictment, and with intent to Dc
fraud the United States, verdict Of guilty
should be rendered.
The Jury at /: 80 p. m. brought In YER
dict OF guilty on each Indictment, one In
dictment being for forgery and one Tor
classification Of accounts. The jury added
o recommendation to mercy. An appeal
on q bill OF exceptions has been taken to
the district court Of appeals, and probably
will como up in October.
Captain Howgate and his daughter, who
has been with him throughout the two
trials, took the verdict calmly, though the
daughter broke into tears as the convicted
prisoner was taken back to jail.

Best AdyIcss Tell of a Rising Tide Of
Trade and Industry.


Trade and Industry.
New YORK, June 22-R. @. Dun & Co s
weekly review Of trade says: From all
parts Of the United States the best adj
vices obtainable tell OF rising tide Of
srade and industry which threatens here
and there to mount too far and too fast.
The volume of all business is by 90 means
equal to that Of 1899 as yet, though In
some important branches larger than in
that or any other, year. Two influences
of tremendous power contribute to the
rise-encouraging crops news and conf
dent replenishing of stocks, which have
been for two years depleted to the utmost.
Excepting two heavy rains In Texas,
crop reports this week have been highly
encouraging. Future injury to cotton
cannot be predicted, but as yet nothing
Indicates yield below 100000 bales,
which would not be supposed to threaten
famine II the commercial and mill stocks
were remembered, now exceeding by -
100000 bales a full consumption until
Sept /. Receipts continue small and con-
sumption close to the maximum here and
abroad, though the marketing of british
goods is not entirely encouraging, Liberal
purchases of all products by the South do
not indicate belief that any serious mis-
fortune impends.
So the strong trade In wheat growing
states accords with brighter crop pros
poets. Reports from spring wheat states
and from the Pacific coast are SO cheering
that, although the loss of winter wheat
was large, those whose estimates havs
been most accurate In recent years nov
vary in predictions from 4So, ooo, ooo to 47o,
900, 900 bushels.
Failures for the week have been 2es II
the United States, against ei4for the sam,
week last year. and 81 In CapAda, agains
