THE SOUTH.

Special reports 10 the Manufacturers
Record show that throughout the entire
South there Is a gradual hutsteady improve
ment In tho sentiment regarding business,
and the outlook is encouraging for marked
activity after the new year. A great many
railroad enterprises, some short lines and
some of considerable extent, which have
been held In obeyanoe for the last 'welye
months, are being taken up again with good
prospects for early construction. In num-
Der OF cases contracts for building have been
definitely closed, and the indications are for
lager railroad building ia the South during
the coming year than We saye lad for sew
eral years
Industrial matters also show steady
improvement, and while some people who
had unwlsely expected an Immediate boom
have been disappointed, there is notable
change for the better In all directions. Con-
siderable shipments of iron are being made
every week to foreign markets, and it is now
regarded as an established fact that the
South will assume an ever-increasing i'm
portance in the iron markets OF the world.
Contrary to the suppositlon Of some people,
these sales are being made at profit, and
foreign buyers who have been testing sample
lots are gradually given very considerable
orders. The opportunity Of Southern fur
naces to increase their shipments abroad is
largely helped by the great increase In
steamship service from Southern ports, af-
fording more regular despatch and lower
freight rates.
Among the industrial enterprises reported
for the week are the decision of Northern
people to carry out the plan projected some
months prior to the election Of building
$500, 900 cotton print mill at Birmingham: a
$50 00J electric light plant at Jacksonville,
Fla; iron nail works at Central City, Ky a
200 barrel -four mill at Hopkinsville. KY, de-
velopment Of coal lands near Catlettsburg,
Ky; negotiations pending for the purchase
OF 40. .00J acres OF land in West Virginia for
large mining operations; S25,t0) water
works at Franklin, La $50, 900 woodwork
ing company at Aberdeen, Miss; water
works at Grenade, Miss: three new cotton
mills in North Carolina, and the enlargement
OF another Mill in the same State; a $4,000
Kaolin Company at Langley, c., electric
light and water works at Hampstead, Texas;
gas works at Newport News, Va, and a num-
Der of other miscellaneous enterprises.
While the list Of new and prospective in
dustrial enterprises reported for the week is
less than the usual weekly average several
years ago, 1t is considerably longer than any
list published by tho Manufacturers Record
during the last three or four months.

despatch from Perry, N Y, says-An entire
family, including three helpless children and
an Invalid mother, were all destroyed In the
flames, which consumed their home on the
farm OF Irving Thompson, four miles north
OF this village, at o'clock Sunday morning
The details OF the fearful holocaust have
aroused the sympathy and horror OF every
lnhabitant Of the village. The names OF the
dead are: Luther Greenman, his wife and
three small children, Annie, aged 6; Lottie,
aged 8, and baby Arthur.
Greenman has been in the employ Of
Thompson for several years. Greenman re.
sided with his family in one OF the farm tene-
ments. He was regarded as an excellent
workman and was in fair way to soon be-
come an Independent small farmer.
Mr.. Thompson was arou sed at 6.45 o'clock
by the cries OF his wife, who told him that
the entire lower portion Of the Greenman
tenement was in flames. Mr.. Thompson
rushed from the house ald hurried to warn
the family. At this time the fire had prob
ably been burning for a quarter Of an hoG-
When he neared the house he grasped
piece OF cord wood and burst in the front
door, When the door was opened the
smoke and flames rushed out, making 1t i'm
possible and dangerous for him to enter.
The cries OF the children could still be
heard on the upper floor, but 1t was impos-
slble for Mr.. thompson to render them as
sistance, and In a few minutes the cries
ceased Mr.. Thompson called two OF his
hired mon to his assistance, and with theii
aid secured ladder and attempted to enter
the house through the bedroom window, in
which the entire Greenman family was In the
habit Of eeping.
When the windoW was opened Mr. Thomp-
son saw the body Of Greenman lying near
the window, as II the unfortunate man had
made one last effort to call for help, and the
smoke and flames had overpowered him.
The flames, famed by the drafts created by
the opened door and window, again drove
Mr. Thompson away.
By this time some OF the neighbors had
hurried to the spot. but they too, were
powerless to rescue the people, and were
oonpolled to stlsad passive until the dwell
Ing became mass of embers An attempt
was then made to lnd the bodies.
Greenman's corpse, charred and shape
less mass of flesh, was found first The face
and arms were dishgured beyond recog-
milton. but the cenchsd fist indicated too
plainly the awful agony which the poor man
must have endured. It is thought that he
was aroused by the smoke, and WAS suGc-
Gated while attempting to give the alarm.
Mrs. Greenmans body was found among
the ruins OF the bed. The blackened bodies
OF the children lay few feet away

"A rather painful occurrence hap
pened last week, which seems to have

comfortably. "A young man who had
been cast ashore from yacht in storm

stranger, but a gentleman, and knew
how to recommend himself to my ladies.

REINFORCING THE BLOOD.
An Interesting Operation 20 Restore
Exhausted vitality.

An interesting surgical operation, one
which is new 20 Springfield. was per
formed about two weeks sEo by DIR. w.
A. Smith, one OF the new members OF
the fraternity In Springfield. Mass.
says the Republican. The operation was
the infusion into an exhausted system
of saline solution TO increase the sup
ply OF blood For years there have been
occasional operations OF TRANSMISSION OF
blood from the veins Of one person TO
those OF another TO meet the same pur-
pose. but the operation Is so dangerous
that II Is rarely attempted, except IN
cases OF the most urgent necessity. The
danger comes In the likelihood Of buh-
bles OF air getting into the blood which
is transfused. and these bubbles usually
mean death. When they have run their
course through the veins and reach the
heart. the heart needs to be kept full,
and the slight resistance OF the air Is In
sufficient 10 keep the valves working. IL
was for this reason that the old method
went out. But out OF II grew the method
OF infusing solution OF salt and water
into the veins The blood Is saline and
the solution Is transformed into blood
rapidly and produces an effect which is
not only stimulating but permanent II
