-MlAURIN AND BURKEfT,
The Democratic and PopuIist Nominees for Governor, Meet in Joint Debate and
 the Pop Got Worsted.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 3.-The democrats aid populist nominees for governor, Messrs. A. J. McLaurin and Frank Bur kett, discussed the political Issues of the day at Representative hall tonight. Ev- cry seat in the hall was filled. It has been several years since opposing parties had joint debate here and large audi ence was present. MT. Burkett went over the regular populite ground, arr
 raigning the old parties for high tariffs and opposition to silver, holding the de- mocracy responsible for the hard times and panics through which they have been struggling the past two years. MT. McLaurin's reply was crushing. He held his opponent up to ridicule and proved his inconsistencies in a happy style. MT. McLaurln stated among other things that while he was not here to de- fend MT. Cleveland's financial policy, he believed him an honest man. There is no doubt of the defeat of populism in Mis- sissppi. MT. McLaurin will be elected governor by an overwhelming majority.

A Re form Party Convention.

New York, Oct. 3.-At a meeting of the state committee of the democratic party reform organization, held in this city to- day, it was resolved to call a convention of the organization to nominate candi- dates for state offices to be filled at the coming election. The convention will be fheld in the Clarendon hotel, Brooklyn, on the evening of October 4. This action was stated in no sense to be regarded as inimical to the state ticket nominated at Syracuse by the democratic convention. The members of the committee state that the action of the Brooklyn regular organ ization at their judicial convention, held yesterday, has made it necessary for the reform organization in Kings county to arrange to put complete local ticket in the field, Owing to the provisions of the present ballot law, it was deemed advis- able to call state convention to meet a technical contingency and in order that the candidates to be nominated by the reform organization should not be placed at an unfair advantage in the arrange ment of their names upon the ballot.

NEW ENTERPRISES REPORTED.
Mr. Thomas Seddon Says Steel Plant Is Sure
 to Re Built

Baltimore, Oct. 3.-Reports to the Man
 ufacturers'' Record show that the high price of cotton is greatly stimulating the business interests of the south, and while purchases of goods do not yet show any very large increase, merchants and bus mess men generally are anticipating a great improvement in all directions. It Is stated that the higher price of cotton as compared with last year and the in- crease in grain production will make a net difference to southern farmers of over $l0O,000,000 as compared with 1894. In iron interests there is considera ble elation in Birmingham over the success Of pig iron made in that district in the manufacture of basic steel. The presi- dent of the Sloss Iron and Steel com pany of Birmingham, in letter to the Manufacturers Record, says:
 T think the successful manufacture or basic pig and it's sale and use by the best steel manufacturers in the United States is the best thing which has hap pened to this district since my connection
 with the iron business. While those of
 us who know our business felt confident
 that we would have no trouble in making
 basic pig. it had not ben demonstrated. It's complete demonstration will, in my
 Judgment, cause, in the early future, the
 building of a large steel plant here, and
 l feel confident that we will demonstrate
 that Birmingham can manufacture basic
 steel more cheaply than any other point
 in the world, just as we have demon
 strated that we could beat the world in
 the manufacture of pig iron for foundry
 purposes. -...3..-- s-.=H

THIRD EDITION.
THE DURANT TRIAL
Enlivened by Contempt Proceedings Against Female Reporter and Man Who
 Threatened Juror.

San Francisco, Oct 3.-A monotonous session in the Durant trial today was re- lieved by the contempt of court proceed ings in the case of Secretary H. l. Mccoy of the Young Mems Christian associa- tion, who last Thursday remarked to a juror in the case that he would be hanged if he did not vote to convict Durant. Me Coy admitted the conversation, but sa d it had been made in jest and to a juryman who was an old friend of his. He re- gretted the remark the very instant that it was uttered and had regretted 1t ever since. He said he had nothing against Durant and his remark had no significance.
 Judge Sanderson of the supreme court, who overheard the remark and reported it to Judge Murphy said that Mccoy d d not deliver the utterance in the manner of a man who really contemplated vo- lence to a juror. The court said he was satisfied that Mccoy meant nothing his remark, else he would impr.son him for the limit allowed by law. As 1t was he fined him $250 or an alternative of five days in jail, but suspended judgment until Saturday.
 The attempt of the defense to sustain the roll call for Dr. Cheny's lecture on the afternoon of April 3, failed in an inn portant particular today. The roll showed that student Garvin was absent from the lecture.
 Garvin testified that he was present. Durant's counsel sought to show that Garvin had been absent from a clinic the day before, the roll call of which was on page opposite to that containing the roll call of the third, and that this caused confusion and transposition of the ab sence mark. In this they failed, as MT. Garvin said he did not know whether he attended the clinic or not.
 Durant's counsel claimed that on April T,,ra mt l.t,I "a Doc another student, left the college al 12:30 return until 1:3O, when Durant went to the college and remained until the close of the lecture at 4:30. Ross was put on the stand this afternoon, but he could not possibly say what day the walk was taken. He was not certain that it was in April.
 Another student who met Durant and Ross while on the walk could not fix the ( ate.
 Several more of the students of Du- rants class were called but could not say that he was at the lecture room on April 3.
 The proceedings closed with contempt proceedings against Miss Carrie Gun ningham, a reporter who refused to di- vulge the name of the person from whom she got the information that Mrs Leak saw Durant enter the Emanuel church with young lady when he was thought to have gone hither with Blanche La mont. Miss Cunningham was given until tomorrow morning to answer with an al- formative of imprisonment.
