FIRST TIME SINCE JULY il
The Associated Banks of New York Show an Increase in the Reserve Still En-
 larging Circulation.

New York, Sept. 12.-The New York Financier says this week:
 For the first time since July II last the clearing house banks of New York city show an increase in the reserve. The statement for the week ending September 12 does not, however, reflect the full ef- feet of the heavy operations incident to the imports of over $23,OOO,OO0 of foreign gold to this side. The net increase in cash, for instance, is reported in the statement to be only $1S49O0 the loss of s25SO 900 in legal tenders having been counteracted by gain of $2764900 in specie That the banks at the close of business Saturday held more cash than the statement credits them with is al- most certain, but the gain will be slow in showing.
 A great deal of cash went to interior points, especially to New Orleans last week, the transfers having been accom- plished by means of gold deposits here and credits at sub-treasuries at the points of destination, and this has proba- by had some effect in making perplex- ing statement
 That the gold imports, however are re- lieving the strained situation of the past few weeks Is plainly apparent. Instead of the heavy contraction of several mil lion in loans which has marked the state ment for weeks past, the decrease last week was only $391 900 and the decrease in deposits was less than $1,500,0O0. The heavy forward crop movement, hastened in the south by conditions now prevailing there, and in other sections by favorable rates, are bound to continue the gold imports and thus enable the New York banks to ship funds to the interior with greater ease than would have been the case had crops been slow in moving. It will be a sign of greater activity over the country, therefore, if the reserves of the New York banks are slow in increas- ing this fall. The banks are still enlarg- ing their circulation. The increase last week was $732, 200. Following are aver ages for three years

The gathering system Of sewers
for San Antonio, as designed by
the eminent engineer, Moses Gray,
was said to be 70 miles in extent.
This gathering system, we were
informed, would be completed for
the sum Of $332,0OO. At least that
was the calculation of the kinder
garten, endorsed by Mr.. Gray.
Mind you, no contractor bid that
amount, or any fixed total amount,
it was simply calculation of the
kindergarten. But the city fathers
gave US to understand that the cal
culation Of the kindergarten ad-
mitted of no question.
But where are we at? All work
stopped on the sewers, and costly
litigation ahead, and why?
Now, instead of further foolishly
listening to the innocent childish
prattle of the kindergarten, and
the idolatrous worship of their lit
tie joss, S. NJ. Gray, by his
frenzied followers, let us figure
little for ourselves.
Seventy-three miles Of completed
sewers for $332,0O0 Let's see; Z;
miles equals say 3S5,440 feet-and

close Of the present session and to

Speaker Reeds explanation of
why he reversed his ruling in the
fifty-first congress, that the
presence of a majority of the entire
number of members entitled to
seats in the house was necessary
to constitute a quorum, and last
week ruled that a majority of the
living members OF the house was a
legal quorum, is perfectly logical.
He was compelled to make his
first ruling on short notice and not
desiring to take any chances chose
that view of the question, which
could not possibly be upset by the
courts. At the time it will be re-
membered that the democrats were
threatening to carry every ruling
he made into the courts. Since
then he has made a careful study
of the matter and become satisfied
that a majority Of living members
are a constitutional quorum.
For the second time since he
has been a member Of the senate,
Qusy's committee room has been
burglarized. The first time was in
1888, when he was chairman Of the
republican national committee.
There is no doubt that the object
of the burglary in both instances
was the same political informal
on, ich it was thought could be OBJ
tainedisom Mr.. Quay's private pa
pers. The Iasr burglary was no
more successful than lie hrst' as
about three weeks ago she
senator had all his important
private papers removed from his
committee room to his house. Mr..
Quay's health has not been good
of late and his physician has or
dered him to Florida to remain
there until the weather gets
warmer in Washington. He de-
clined to discuss this last burglary
before his departure further than
to say that somebody had taken a
lot Of trouble aud the chance for
a term in the penitentiary for
nothing.
The Cuban question is now up to
Mr.. Cleveland, the house having
voted in favor of the original sem
ate concurrent resolution, declar-
ing in favor of the immediate rec
ognition of the belligerency of
the Cubans and Of taking steps
looking towards the independence
Of Cuba. Nobody seems to be
authorized to say whether Mr..
Cleveland will pay any attention
to these resolutions, but the i'm
preston prevails in Washington
that he will not. Many believe
that the report prevalent here a
month ago that Mr.. Cleveland had
promised the Spanish minister to
take no action before June, was
true.

WASHINGTON, April 6, 1896.
The republican leaders in con-
gress are men of too much expert
ence in such matters to allow
themselves to become the tools OF
the democrats and to begin fight
ing each other, instead Of the COM
mon enemy. They know that the
little hope that democrats allow
themselves to indulge in OF ever
res.Inlng control OF this govern
ment again is based entirely upon
their ability to stir up dissension
among the supporters OF the sew
eral candidates for the republican
presidential nomination. Notwith-
standing the action and talk
OF a few of the over-Zealous
friends OF some OF the repub-
lican candidates, your correspon-
dent has no hesitation whatever in
asserting that the contest for the
nomination will not be allowed
either before or during the St.
Louis convention to degenerate
into a cat and dog fight that will
leave sores for the democrats to
throw salt on during the cam
paign. Each of the candidates
have warm supporters among the
national leaders Of the republican
party, and each of these leaders
will use every honorable effort to
bring about the nomination OF his
candidate, as he has perfect right
to do, but there will be no blows
below the belt with their sanction,
and when the nomination shall
have been made every man of them
will be found cordially sup.
porting the nominee. In Wash,
ington these things are we'll known
because republicans all know the
cordial personal relation which
exist between Speaker Reed, Gov
errors Mckinley and Morton, and

LETTER FROM FAIRFAX.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
BUSH HILL, Sept. 29.-On Thursday
evening last a most pleasant and agree
able surprise was in store for Capt. Fl.
w. Kearney and family, near this
point, by the unexpected arrival of DIR.
William Kearney, whose home is st
Prospect Depot, Prince Edward county,
Va. He had been on visit to rela.
tives in Jefferson county, w. Va, and
stopped of on his return. Of course
the captains family were more than
glad to have him with them during bis
stay. He left for his home on Saturdf y
evening.
On Friday evening last just at dark
an ugly looking tramp took possession
of the dwelling house occupied by Mrs.
Emma Brown and her two children
and also servant girl, and refused to
leave for the time being until his hun
ger was satisfied, when be went on i''s
way. This lady's home is in qui +
lonely place and she is entirely unpro-
tected from what might be re
oeated visits from such creatures.
We hear that her husband is very sci
dom ut his home at night. This being
so he should leave some one else to
protect his home and family against the
raids these tramps may make.
The public school in West Eud, con-
Quoted the past session by Miss Eva
Cowling, opened yesterday with good
attendance of scholars. The patrons Of
this school are 10 be congratulated upon
the fact that Miss Cowling fills the bill
as its teacher, ss evidenced by the mark
ed improvement her pupils have made,
as we are creditably informed.
We have been informed that the pub
lie school at Franconia will open on
next Monday. October 5th. Miss Fan
ME Weadon, the popular and efficient
teacher, will assume charge of the
same. Her assistant this session will
be Miss Sarah Cox, from Woodlawn.
The former assistant, Miss Leila Beat
tie, gets the publ cschool an Annandaie,
near her fathers home. Miss Beattie
made many friends in this part OF the
county.
We are glad TO state that the new
Bethel Methodist Church, near Fran
couia station, has been nicely wains
coated on the interior, adding much to
it's appearance; also a raised platform
on which is placed handsome pulpit,
the centre piece on its top, representing
u closed Bible, is an object of mechani-
cal skill. Comfortable seats are also
provided, which, with the addition Of
paint this week, will add great deal
to its improved appearance. Mrs.
Vaughan, near Hay6eld farm, will pre-
sent, we hear, to the church six-light
chandelier. A lady friend in Washing
ton will also donate handsome Bible.
Substantial friends have thus helped
the church in this way, and we trust
that God may abundantly bless them
in their missions of love. A number of
ladies will see that the church is Dicely
carpeted and also inside blinds
fitted TO each Of the eight large win
dows. A protracted series of meet
ings will begin at the church

condition since her late accident and

We have been requested by Mr..
Oreon Triplett to say that the statement
in the GAZETTE of the 21st instant in
regard to the late accident is incorrect
in several particulars. Miss Lula Smith
is not an adopted daughter, but step
daughter, instead. She did not accom-
pany Mr.. T. to the market as stated,
but was on visit to Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean and he called there for her pre-.
vious to leaving the city. The name OF
the gentleman that was with Mr.. Trip
lett and Miss Lula was Mr.. Hunting
ton, instead of Anderson, as stated.
Mr.. T. says he has no recollection Of
striking his horses with whip-oae OF
them was a young one, and as he
neared the railroad track made sud-
der lunge, which was the only thing
that saved them all from horrible
death.
