COLORING LEATHER.
In Germany a New Process Of Coloring
by Electricity Discovered.

In Germany new process of coloring
leather is being exploited. Electricity
is utilized. The leather is placed upon
a zinc table, which forms the positive
pole. The dyeing material is poured
over this, and the negative pole con-
hected to the leather Under the ac-
ton of the current, the coloring matter
penetrates the leather, and patterns
may be designed upon the surface by
covering it with a pattern plate con-
nected 10 the negative pole.

He stepped upon the scatfold with as
much calmness as an ordinary man
would take train. He left his cell
singing and acting very much as ne
groes act at q revival, and said he was
ready to 60. Just before he was led TO
his doom he smoked cigar which the
sheriff had given him, and thanked
that officer for his kindness. Sheriff
Riser had been very considerate for
the welfare of the condemned man,
and was anxious that death should be
instantaneous, but the moose slipped at
the drop and the unfortunate man
strangled. He was pronounced dead
by Dr.. j. FL. Mccullough and his
body cut down within Is minutes af-
ter the springing OF the trap. The
prisoner made no public statement.
In answer to a question he said he had
nothing to say. He had previously
stated that he had no intention of kill
ing Hargroves when he struck the
blow. While the black cap was being
fixed the doomed man, who in a few
seconds would bs in eternity, told the

To Be Investigated.

COLUMBIA, 8. c., Sept. Off what
has been whispered about in the last
few days since the revelations made
by Governor Evans as to what certain
people know about the affairs OF the
State Gispensary be true, then the
outside world may look for spicy
reading next week bearing upon the
big State scandal. The State board OF
control has been called in extra session
to fully investigate the scandal and
see what is behind it. Colonel Willie
Jones, chairman of the State board OF
control of the State dispensary, yester-
day notified the four other members
of the board that there would be an
extra session on Tuesday night next.
The hrst Tuesday night in each month
is the time for regular meetings. He
was seen by a representative OF The
State and asked why he was going to
hold an extra meeting. lie replied
that in view of the recent charges
made by Governor Evans against Lii
quor Commissioner Mixson he did not
see ho W the State board could do other
wise than investigate the matter.
There werA charges and counter
charges by Governor Evans and Com
missioner Mixson and these naturally
reflected upon the management OF the
dispensary. In feet, if charges like
those of Governor Evans had been
made by any reputable citizen it would
rest on the board to sift the matter:
This investigation was due the board
itself, he said. and due the people of
the State, and due also Commissioner
Mixson. In answer to the question of
what the probable action OF the board
would be, he replied that he did not
know. AS chairman of the State
board he felt that it rested upon him
to assemble the board and let it take
whatever action it saw proper. In
his letter of notification to the board
he made no mention of his reasons for
calling the meeting, but simply
stated that certain business demanded
their immediate attention.

Arkansas Rolls EN- Up.

LITTLE Rock, Sept. 9.-The returns
from the State election, received up to
noon today, show steadily increasing
maiorities in the various counties for
the Democratic candidates. Desha
and Newton counties are believed to
be the cnly counties which elect full
Republican tickets, while the Populists
are now confined to Clark county.
where as two years ago, they captured
Eve representatives in the legislature
and the Republicans four. It will be
al least two weeks before all the re.
turns will be in, but enough is now
known to make the estimate of 65, 600
majority for the Democrats and as
sured fact.

Price Must Advance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The cotton
report of the Department OF Agricul-
ture for September shows a decline
from the August condition of the crop,
which was 80.1 to 64.2 per cent, a de-
cline of 1879 points. This is the low
est September condition report in the
last twenty-seven years. The States
averages are as follows: Virginia, 80;
North Carolina, 70; South Carolina,
70; Georgia, II; Florida, 72; Alabama,
&c; Mississippi, 81; louisiana, 60;
Texas, 62; Arkansas, 60; Tennessee, 81
Missouri, 81; Indian Territory, CO.
Oklahoma, 65. There has been gen
eral decline in the condition of the
cotton crop throughout the cotton belt
in the past month. A few counties
and parishes in Mississippi and Louis
lana report fairly good crops, but the
omplaint is almost universal that the
excessive heat and dry weather have
caused the plant to shed leaves,
blooms and bolls, and that, where
rains have fallen, they have come too
late to be of material benefit. The
plant has consequently matured prem
aturely and bolls have opened SO rap:
idly that the crop is being gathered
earlier than for many years. Some
counties report that the crop will all
be harvested by October 1, others by
the middle of October. A few coun
ties in Mississippi report damage to
open cotton by heavy rains. The staple
is much lighter than usual in conse'
quence of drought and heat; and the
shedding of leaves and bolls will result
in material damage to the yield from
the top crop.
