NEW JERSEYITES ARRIVE.
One Hundred of Them Called on President CoIlerA Cold Day for the Ohio
 Delegates.

Atlanta, Dec 5.-Adjt.-Gen. William Stryker of New Jersey and Judge Sims of the supreme court of that state head ed by a party of about 100 Jerseymen reached Atlanta today and called on President Collier at the administration building. They presented a letter of re- gret from Governor Werts, who was un- able to attend on New Jersey day on ac- count of the approaching session of the legislature. MT. Collier made a brief speech in reply, extending to the New Jersey people a cordial welcome to the exposition.
 Cincinnati had another cold day at the exposition, but the programme as an nounced was carried out, with the addi- tion of an escort to the Ohio party by the Fifth United States infantry from Mc- Emerson barracks and a review by Gen. Nelson A. Miles. commanding general of the army. The address of welcome at the auditorium was delivered by President Collier and responded to by President Freiberg of the Cincinnati chamber of commerce. Other addresses were deliv- cred by Mayor King of Atlanta and Sec retary of State Candler and were re- sponded to by MT. Ingalls and Gen. Hickenlooper.

A LAZY LETTER CARRIER.
Rather Than Deliver the 1 etters He Hid Them Away-Iwelye Bushels of Them
 Were Found.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 5.-The post office scandal turns out to be a case of gross criminal negligence on the part of substitute carrier. Instead of, as re- ported, three bushels of mail matter be- ing found undeliVered, the quantity is nearer twelve bushels. The place in which it was found is within block of the postoffice in the loft of the armory and central fire house. Three long flights of stairs led up to it. Two weeks ago, while MT. Gerry, engineer of the fire de- partment, was hauling over some odd pieces of fire engine material, he mo- ticed lot of letters, papers, etc., and supposed they were refuse matter that the janitor had thrown away. Yester- day he had occasion to go into the loft again and found a quantity of general matter that had recently been mailed. He sent for Postmaster Sullivan, and by investigation it was found that hooks and crannies of the place were stuffed with mail matter from Baltimore, Phila- delphia, Glosgow, Montreal, Manchester and other English cities, Paris and other prominent points. At first is was thought that some lazy letter carrier had thrown away some circulars that burdened the mail, but on closer investigation many sealed letters were found. The matter was all sent between August and Mo- vember of this year, and was taken from thC oiiiSS iot dtilN0iy ny SuDSlltult carrier who was accustomed to the use of the armory as loafing place, and rather than do the work of delivering the letters he stuffed them into the hiding places where they were found
 Postmaster Sullivan is trying to have the mail delivered, but many of the ad- dresses on the packages have been torn out
 Large numbers of English and Irish papers and periodicals are received here and also many letters from abroad, and at times each month the carriers deliver very heavy mails.
 The United States commissioner in Boston today issued a warrant for the arrest of Thomas A. Rasow, substitute letter carrier, on the charge of illegally detainipg mail matter

the company for the amount named. The company is a corporation, with A. H. Andrews as president and Fred C.. Holbrook as secretary, and capital stock of $500000. It is one of the oldest concerns of the kind in the west, and the failure will cause consternation in financial circles-the more because 1t came without breath of warning.
 Shortly before o'clock the company made an assignment in the county court, the assignee being Fred A. Holbrook, secretary of the company. The deed of assignment places the assets at s500,000 and the liabilities at $400,000. The com pany is said to have been in trouble in the waters, financially speaking, for some months. Small sales and slow col leetions are alleged to be the cause of the embarrassment. The company made very fine grade of goods in it's line, and hard times necessitating economy in all kinds of business, the demand for ex- pensive office furnishings and fancy fur niture rapidly diminished Those in need of such things contented themselves with quality cheaper than that turned out by the Andrews company. The effect of this condition of trade was to greatly reduce the Andrews company's business, and the handsome profits previously earned were changed into steadily in- crpaSinP loss

ON A DUCK HUNT.
The President Quietly Slipped Out of Wash ington on Steamer for Few
 Days Sport.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Taking advan- tage of the admirable ducking wea ther President Cleveland this evening about 5 o'clock sailed from Washington on the light house tender Myrtle to pursue that sport in the North Carolina sounds and rivers for a brief period. The trip has been in contemplation by the president for some time, as a means of recreation after his labor of writing his annual mes sage. but his departure today was con ducted with so much quietness that even, some officials on duty at the executive mansion are still unaware that the pres- ident has left the city. The duration of his absence will, it is understood, de- pend somewhat upon circumstances. Five or six days, if game Is plentiful and ducks abundant. will probably be availed of for the shooting, and so far as can be learned al present such adjuncts to cv- iliZation as daily mails and telegraph facilities will not be in immediate prox- unity to the party for at least two or three days of the excursion. Persons in the vicinity of the presidents hunting ground had previously been communi- cated with and the usual traps, decoys and other paraphernalia for duck hunt ing expedition have already been placed and await the presidents arrival.

REPORTERS OBJECTIONABLE.

Their Presence in Court Cause for a New
 Trial, Claims the Proponent.
 Mobile, Dec. 5.-(Special)-A motion for a new trial was filed in the probate court this afternoon by attorneys for proponent in the noted Lavretta will case. The grounds contained in the mo- tion allege that the Mobile Daily Herald, an afternoon paper, published in this city, prejudiced the minds of the jury by holding proponent up to the ridcule and scorn of the public. Further grounds are that newspapers reporters were allowed in the court room during the course of said trial. The motion will be argued to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

 A TERRIBLE ROAST.
Senator TiIlman and Governor Evans Roundly Denounced by Exposition Exhibitors for
 Making InAammatory Speeches.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 5.-Senator Ben R. Tillman and Gov. Johnson G. Evans of South Carolina were denounced by the members of the Exposition Exhibitors association this morning. Resolutions condemning their speeches on South Car olina day at the exposition were adopted, and the two South Caroinians were re- ferred to as ranting demagogues, cut threats and moonshiners. The resolu- tions in part said:
 Resolved, That for the fame and good name of the Atlanta exposition, at which these men were permitted to speak, we denounce their speeches as being devoid of reason. sense and patriotism, and we repudiate the speakers. In this we feel confident we are but yoicing the sense of our country and the earnest feelings of the better people of all the southern states.
 Resolved. That we sympathize also with the mana cement of this exposition, that under the cloak of temporary au- thority two such fanatics should have been able to intrude their utterances up- on the otherwise healthy and satisfac- tory proceedings that have characterized this enterprise. But while dismissing the utteranceS of these men as unworthy of further notice from our association or the country, we do not forget that in the general economy of nature mankind must have his troubles and communities their af1ictionS. It is not many years since California was greatly annoyed by a brace of bandits known as Evans and Sontag, and the exhibition witnessed here on the 2Sth of November is but an evidence that South Carolina in its turn is enduring, through it's own indiscre- tions, season of torment from its Till man and Evans.

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 5-The Iron Trade Review says:
 While there are no indications of tbe end Of the wait by buyers of steel and Iron, the belief that there will be a gen. efai feadJustment of values Is now wide spread. The sensational drop in the prices or wire and of barbed wire indi- cates parallel movement at the lower end or the line to that which has taken place more gradually in Bessemer nip The Plttsburg and valley markets for Bessemer show that furnaces are taking more part in the selling each week. Some metal has been taken for the first quar- ter or lS96 at SIS in the valley, and spot sales continue to be made in a small Wav at rom $12 to $12.25 Billets are weak CT, and Tn speculative sales have not pre- served even $5 margin over Bessemer At Pittsburg SIS is the mill price. with $l.5O as the Wheeling basis Foundry iron shows more signs of weakness than at any time since the halt in buying Leading southern producers are holding to quotations, and the largest interest has ten weeks of orders on it's books. but there is cutting by furnaces started up since the summer, and with these. the price is off about 50 cents a ton. Talk or a combination among valley makers of pig iron has caused some comment in Pittsburg, but 1t is not believed there that an agreement to limit production can be made effective at this time In all finished material lines lower prices are heard on prompt business.
