in their weekly review Of trade, say:

titious price made for wheat and cotton

ment report as to wheat indicated much
smaller yield than anybody really expects,
but that has become so much the rule that
the report had no real influence and the
principal effect was the serious deprecia-
ton caused by large sales In anticipation
of the report, which seemed to be thorough
ly known in advance to some spectators.
The government estimate as to cotton was
unexpectedly favorable, and has caused q
decline Of more than half a cent in a sim
gle week. Railroad earnings for the first
week in June were Al per cent. larger than
last year.
1T is not the time to look for marked
Improvement in industries and the best
thing that can be said Of them is that none
have as yet been seriously disturbed by
threatened labor difficulties It seems not
improbable that all such difficulties may
be averted, except perhaps the controversy
about wages Of iron puddlers and tin plate
workers.
1.-THE demand for boots and shoes seems
slightly better Notwithstanding an advance
of IA cents per pair is demanded on some
staple qualities. The textile manufacture
ers are making no Improvement. The ac-
emulation Of cotton goods continues.

It Seems to BE the Custom to Humor

The way some men are managed is

ance who had dropped into the office.
Il have never had any difficulty in man
aging men and getting the proper
amount of work out of them, and I
think I have some executive ability,
but doubt whether could manage q

men managed. happened to be near
one of the dry docks during the shift
ing of an old propeller from the dock to
the shore. It wasn't what anyone
would call an expert job, but if you had
seen and heard the foreman of the gang
Of workmen you would have thought
that he was moving battleship. The
propeller had been removed from the
hull to the dock and a new one was to
be put in its place. Planks had been
placed over the space between the dock
and the shore, and all that the men
had to do, besides pulling, was to bs
careful that the propeller shouldn't roll
Oft into the water. They had strong
tackle and long rollers, and after they
had stretched and fastened the tackle
it was an easy job. The foreman di-
rected every movement, and the way
he bossed the men was amazing, but
they didn't seem to mind it. Swear!
Well, you ought to have heard him, or,
perhaps, you ought not to have heard
him. If anything slipped a little bit
he swore, and if something didn't move
just right he swore. He would tell one
man to do something, and an instant
after he would undo it himself, swear
ing all the while.
FINALLY they moved the mass of iron
to the ends of the planks and began to
pull it up the incline. The foreman
acted as if he were in hot water all the
time, and it was a wonder that he didn't
fall overheard. Some of the men went
ashore and hauled on the tackle, and
two of them attended to the rollers.
The thing was heavy, and it hid to be
moved slowly. Pull, there! What tn
ell you doing? Going to sleep? Hold
On! Now! Pull! Once more! Hold
on! What's the matter with yer? Hold
fast, say! Here, you, shift that roll
er! Not that way! Gimme that! Now!
Easy! Once more!' have left out the
cuss words, but perhaps you have some
notion of how he went on. I watched
the men to see how they took that kind
Of treatment. Not one Of them said Il
word during the half hour that stood
there. They were not foreigners, and
they were not stupid. In fact, 1 thought
any one of them was the equal of the
foreman in intelligence and knowledge
of his trade. They were inclined to be
sullen, 1 thought, but they did just
what the boss ordered, no matter how
many times he swore at them and
nagGed them."-N. Y. Herald.

GOLD ERA in SOUTH AFRICA.
The Telegraph Has Advanced Even More
Speedily Than the Railway.

The Telegraph Has Advanced Even More
Speedily Than the Railway.
In measuring the advance of new
country we look naturally in the first
place to the development Of it's public
works. The establishment of the gold
industry on the Randi has proved a
most effective stimulus to railway con-
struction in South Africa. To-day Jo-
hannesburg on land which in
1886 was part of an absolutely barren
wastes approached by three distinct
lines which connect it directly with the
four chief forts of South Africa-Dela-
goa Bay, Durham, Port Elizabeth and
Cape Town. OF these lines, the earliest,
which. traverses the Free State from end
to end and links the Randi with
Cape Colony, was not opened until July,
1892. The Pretoria-Delagoa Bay line
was completed in the autumn of 1894,
and the extension of the Randi railway
to Charlestown, the connecting point
with the Natal line, was only effected a
few months ago. These, together with
some subsidiary lines, represent total
of 1000 miles of railway constructed.
mainly under the stimulus of the gold
industry in the Transvaal. To this total
two considerable pieces of railway con-
struction, accomplished in the interest
of the gold industry in the Chartered
company's territories, must be added.
OF these, the first extended the main
trunk line of Africa from Kimberley
successfully to Vryburg and Mafcking,,:
in 1890 and 1894, and the second, the
Beira line, by securing rapid passage
through the lily country" brought Sal,
isbury into easy communication with:
the east coast of Africa at the port so
named. Taken together, they measures
342 miles. It should be added also that
the extension of the funk line from.
Mafeking toward Buluwayo is in proc
ess of construction.
To have driven 1850 miles of railway
in six years is remarkable achieves
ment for country in which the Euro
pean population is still considerably
under three-quarters Of million, and
which has not hitherto been character
lied by the rapidity of it's progress.
The telegraph has advanced further
and more speedily than the railway.
Here the chief gain has been in the vast
regions northward of the Limpopo,.
opened up by the Chartered company.
The wires were carried from Matching
to Victoria in December, 1891; they
reached Salisbury, $40 miles beyond
Mafeking, in February, 1892, and to-
day telegraphic communication has
been established between Salisbury and
Islantyre, in Nyasaland. Nineteenth

the Wreck.
OTHER NEWS OF THE DAY

PITTSBURG. Pa, October 1.-Two freight
trains collided last night at Philson. on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, making one
Of the worst wrecks in the history of the
road. One man is dead, two are probably
fatally injured and several others are miss
ing. probably lying dead under the wreck.
Details of the wreck are meager and diff
flcult to procure. the storm having left
telegraph lines in a bad condition.
The grade at Philson is very heavy. the
line descending at the rate of over 100
feet to the mile. The accident occurred
at 1870 o'clock last night.
The engines were smashed to scrap iron.
The other train was also badly wrecked
and debris was piled nigh the tele-
graph poles RescGing crews worked all
night.
Two bodies are reported to have been
covered so far, and it is believed a number
of others are still under the wreck. The
wires still down at points east of Bow
man station, which is west of the wreck
and but meager details of the accident can
be obtained. A special telegram from Cum
ber!and to an afternoon paper states that
the entire train crew, consisting of the
engineer, fireman. conductor, two brake
men and a fiagman, and two tramps. who
were stealing ride, were killed. Thirty
four cars, which were loaded with coal
together with the engine and caboose, are
piled upon the track and traffic both east
and west is entirely suspended
Trains Delayed.
The names of the killed and injured have
not yet been obtained. The Baltimore and
Ohio eastern express, which left PittsburG
at . o'clock last night, was held at Rock
wood, where the Somerset and Cambria
branch to Johnstown intersects the main
line At daylight it was decided to advance
the train to the scene of the wreck, where
the passengers were transferred around

Temple cup series of games. During the
early morning it seemed that it would be
impossible to reach baltimore in time for
the game, but the Baltimore and Ohio OIL
cials stated that they would make an ef-
fort to get the club into Baltimore by 3::sO
or 4 pm. 1t is hardly probable. however.
that a game will be played before tomor

short speeches were made. one from the
hotel balcony and the other at the fair
grounds. Mr.. Bryan came near being held
at Grafton by subpoenae until this after
noon. When that place was reached, after
IL o'clock last might, some newspaper cor
respondents caused the arrest of two al
legged pckpockets, who had been following
the train for some weeks, and they asked
that subpoena be issued for the nomi-
nee's detention, claiming that he was an
important witness for the defense.
The proceedings before the ma gistrata
lasted until 4.30 this morning, and resulted
in the refusal to issue the subpoena, and
consequently Mr.. Bryan was not detained.
The trip this morning was continued in
the special car, chartered by John T.. Nc
Graw, national committeeman OF this state.
The arrangements for the trip through this
state have been much better than at any
other place.
