 JAMES MCINTOSH, Trustee of the Creditors of J. N. Hous- ton"
 This announcement created the utmost excitement and in a short time crowds of depositors were surrounding the bank anxious to ascertain the exact condition of affairs.
 MT Huston is now confined to his bed with an affectation of the eye. To re- porter pr. D. I. Smaley. Mir. Illusions physician, said:
 MT Huston has been in a critical condition for more than two weeks past. His eye sight has almost failed him. He is not able to read his name, except by the aid of powerful glasses. The as- signment was hastened by the condition of his health. His creditors will be paid in full and Mir. Huston will have a neat fortune left. His assets are S300. 900. while his liabilities will not be over $f50.- 900 at the outsde.'
 Mr. Illusions son-in-law, Howard Cor don, has been cashier of the bank until recently when he was compelled to go to New Mexico for his health.

the benefit of the gold reserve, make the government a great gold grabber; and 1t is not a requirement. of the people or of general business, but it is the govern ment that makes gold thus sought after. If the government put itself into po- sition of not being obliged to borrow there would be no more gold craze.
 AS to the effect of the present loan, think the benefit will be almost incalcula- ble. I think it is generally believed that the amount called for will be sufficient to carry the government through to the next administration, when the govern ments income will undoubtedly be in- creased. This being true, there will not be a recurrence of borrowing. Last year an improvement came in general busI ness immediately after the sale of bonds to the Morgan syndicate, which, as my recollection is, took place in March. In April iron advanced and all other com modities improved, and we had period of prosperity for six months, which caus-> ed us to hope that the countryS business affairs would again reach a healthy nor nal condtion and such undoubtedly would have been the case but for the fact that in the autumn the gold reserve rap] idly diminished and the necessity for new loan became apparent. Instantly business was chilled and not until the last two or three weeks, since it has be- come apparent that the wants of the gov ernment will be supplied by liberal sub scrptions, has there been any appear ance of activity or confidence.
 .The manner in which the loan has been placed will prove more beneficial than that of last year. That loan was sold at a very low rate, and 1t was dis appointment to the business of the coun- try and abroad. This time it is different Last years loan was at 104, this years IS at 11O to 112. It has been placed at home, has been subscribed for indiscriminately and the fact too that it has been offered in the aggregate five times over will have the effect of establishing the credit of the government on high plane, to which It is certainly entitled. It will have an ex- cellent effect aboard. It demonstrates the faith our people have in the govern ment and their ability and willingness to rescue from embarrassment when re- quired."
 My prediction" said MT. Baxter, in conclusion. ''is that good effects will inn mediately be felt and the country will ex- perience the greatest relief it has felt since last October

The Iron Age Review.

New York, Feb. 5.-The Iron Age in its weekly review of the iron and metal trades tomorrow will say:
 The heavy and widespread subscrip- tions to the new loan cannot help having a good influence on the general business situation of the country, and In that inn provement the iron and allied trades must have their share. Few are likely to forget, however that it is merely palliative and not a cure for the evils of the currency situation and the financial position of the government so that busl- ness men will take advantage of the bet ter feeling in a conservative feeling.
 The iron age is drifting. There Is conn parativelyelittIe doing. Some Bessemer pig is selling from second hands at SIP to $12.50 at Pittsburg, while steel is peddling at $1750 to SIS. There has been some fn- quiry for and moderate selling of wire rods, and a moderate run of business in finished iron and steel all over the coun- try, but there is no vim Tn the business.
 In foundry iron there has been some activity. The Chicago furnaces have lowered their price and have captured considerable business in their own mar ket. In the south the cast iron pipe men have placed orders for about 19,000 tons and some tonnage has been placed
 A large business has been done in cop in tidewater markets at low prices. per for early delivery. and the market has decidedly stlffened. Lead too, has shown rising tendency and spelfer IS unquestionably in better shape.

MRS. SHELDON'S AFTERNOON.
Unique Entertainment by the Eloquent " Mas
 ter Oueen."

Notwithstanding a gloomy afternoon and heavy, drenching rain, there was a surprisingly good audience at O'Brien's opera house yesterday afternoon to hear the promised lecture by Mrs M. French Sheldon on her experiences in Africa, entitled From Sultan to Sultan Her story was charmingly graphic, and even without the aid of a we'll operated stere- opticon giving vivid views of the scenes and peoples of her vstationS, she would have held the audience enchained by in terest. The ennobling motive with which she went to the dark continent to prove that God was in Africa and love among savages was the cue with which she ex- alted her auditors to proper appreciation of a wonderfully thrilling story. There were eighty views presented of Mrs. Shel- don's rare collection. Her beautiful gown, as worn by her in Africa, was dazzling with the corruscations of jewels presented her by princes and savages of the African nations and tribes. as well as decorations bestowed by high scientific orders of Europe.
 Mrs. Sheldon showed in one of her pie lures Massai warrior with a long steel spear which she then and there prom ised to bestow, through Superintendent J. H. Phillips of the public schools of Bir mingham to the Birmingham public li- brary.
 Mrs. Sheldon's lecture was enthuSias- tically received through She has been urged to appear here again and 1t is possible she will some time next week under the auspices of one of the churches.
 Yesterdays address was for the Mercy Home and the public library. Mrs. Shel- don was very happily introduced by MT. Samuel Ullman of this city, who told fitly why the savages had called her the Mas ter Queen"

 Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 5.-When word reached Fl Paso today that the house of representatives, had taken a hand in the suppression of prize fighting and passed a bill making it felony in the territories gossip became rife concerning the great carnival which is to eake place near here in the next two weeks. Dan Stuart, when asked what effect the bill would have upon his carnival if 1t became law said: "None in the least. The English par1ia- ment may pass a similar bill tomorrow and still the carnival will go ahead IS advertised
 John J. Taylor of the firm of Looke & Taylor, who gave MT. Stuart his cue upon which the preparations have been made, was seen and MT. Stuart's state ment was confirmed. If those most in .terested were disconcerted over the news they concealed their feelings from those not on the inside. MT. Looke is in Chi huahua, and reports from there are said to be of character to make the sports feel safe. On the other hand the minis ters union and other parties opposing the fights are confident that the legislation of today if 1t becomes a law rufns the last chance that Dan Stuart had of keep ing his word with the sports of the coun- try. They claim to have positive assur- ances that Governor Ahudma will not under any circumstances allow the fight in his state. and that the doubtful strip talked of is ridiculous,

gage car instead of the rear coach, as was expected, and rushed him to the jail and placed him in an iron cell.
 The negro answers the description giv- en of him by Mrs. Grissom, but she has not had an opportunity as yet to iden- tify him. A mob of masked men num- bering twenty-five or thirty stormed the jail at 930, breaking open the doors, dis arming the sheriff and reached the cell in which the prisoner was confined, but on account of no leader their plans were miscarried and the crowd dispersed The sheriff placed guard in the jail after this and commanded them to pro- tect the prisoner at all hazards.
 It is thought that no further attempt will be made tonight at lynching the ne gro, and when morning comes it is likely that the sheriff will have conveyed his prisoner to a place of safety and beyond the reach of an angry mob. With few determined men and well-laid plans the negro would have been carried before Mrs. Grissom for Identification and lynched before 10 o'clock. It is generally believed that there is no question as to this being the right man. The sheriff addressed the crowd at F o'clock and told them that he and his deputies were we'll armed and would shoot the first man who entered the door.

A Few Points From Practice.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
 tleman writes that journal:
 This year, my wheat crop being light
 one, I moved it with machine and
 stacked it. Every day gave the poultry
 what I thought they should have. The
 result was. we got more eggs than we
 ever did before. It would pay every
 farmer to have wheat to feed to poultry,
 wheat urthreshed, and after they have
 picked it out clean from the heads you
 have the straw for bedding. Wheat fed
 this way gives the hens exercise without
 throwing their feed among litter to make them scratch for exercise.
 Instead of giving the poultry water we
 give them plenty of milk. which is a
 great egg-producer. In early spring I
 park off each different kind by itself, so
 as to get eggs from each kind and have them pure. Each morning I take a spade
 and spade up bunch of green grass and throw in each park; then each day feed little meat; give them egg shells and oyster shells spade up some ground in each park for them to scratch in, and by feeding wheat and a little corn I get as
 many eggs from the chickens parked up
 as those that have the whole range of the farm.
 Instead of clipping one wing on each hen take a pair of shears and cut the feather part only on some of the wing feathers, not the feather bone part and 1t will make the wing look better than when clipped.
 A lady near here picks her chickens just before moulting time and saves the feathers and she says the poultry do
 much better than to let them shed them
 selves; they feather oue quickly and go to laying sooner. I shall perhaps try it
 another season myself. We all know that hens do not lay any through moult ing season, so the quicker 1t is through with the quicker they will begin laying. By picking them before moulting they will get their new crop of feathers before l cold weather sets in.
 I believe where you want to raise good many chicks that the best way is | to have an incubator and brooder, as | then there is danger of chicken-lice | among your little chicks I have had great experience with roup; all one win | ter I fought against it. I tried every | remedy I could hear of and the only sure | cure was the ax. What money I spent | on medicine could have bought all the | chickens I tried to cure, and the same l may be said of cholera-the ax is the | surest cure and the safest.
 | Where you do not have an incubator I | think 1t the best plan to have two good | breeds-one for the layers and the other | for the mothers and sitters. The black Minorcas are stlendid layers; so are Leg | horns and Wyandottes; the Plymouth Rocks make good mothers. Indian games | are fine for their eating qualities and weigh well; are a very healthy bird, but are not great layers. Cockerels Weigh | from ten to eleven pounds. like the | rose comb varieties, because when we have severe, cold winters their combs do not freeze. The Houdans, or a cross with | the Houdan, are excellent layers; for sue

KENTUCKY DEADLOCK.
Senator Blackburn's Stock Is Improving.
 Great Excitement Prevailed.
12-S-tue-thu-sat


 Frankfort, Ky, Feb 5.-The greatest crowd that has ever attended joint bal lot was present this morning. The gal leries were crowded and some women were present at first but their fears got the best of them and they went away. The greatest excitement prevailed and the crowd was with difficulty kept from pushing onto the floor of the house.
 When the name of Mir. Hayward was called he asked to be allowed to explain his vote. He said he was for sound money, but was confronted by peculiar crisis. He was not moved by a threat, but in order to secure the greatest good for the greatest number he would vote for Black burn. This announcement was received with great applause. Senator Hayward has heretofore voted for a gold standard democrat. Senator Holloway, who has also voted that way, voted for Blackburn. Senator Stege voted for Hunter.
 The result of the ballot was as follows: Hunter 66, Blackburn 62, McCreary 2, Bate l.
 MT. Clarke offered resolution that the joint assembly go into the election of a librarian. While he was reading his res olution the chair reconsidered a motion to adjourn. The democrats demanded the yeas and nays on the motion, but the chairman would not recognize the claim, but put the motion. The demo- crats hissed the lieutenant governor and say his ruling today will make trouble tomorrow.
 The credentials of Representative-elect Beckham were presented to the house by MT. Hines and MT. Beckham was then sworn In. He arrived in the city this morning after driving sixty miles through-the country to arrive In time to vote for a senator. He will serve on the same committee as the late Isaac Wilson. Senator Oglive made his appearance on the floor of the senate this morning for the first time. His physicians accompa- nied him and watched him closely. This makes the last democrat to come, and gives them the same number as the re- publicans. ~

Most spring colts are weaned only little before the pastures are frost-bit- ten. The change to dry feed, and often of not very nutritious quality, is peculiarly hard for them the first winter. Some ex- ira grain will pay more than its market price to feed them. There is no kind of feed that is better for colts than oats. The hulls prevent the grain from injur- ing them. Begin with a pint of oats at a feed and gradually increase till the colt takes a quart at feed, or two quarts per day. The cost with oats as cheap as they are now is very little.
