Many of the most important conclusions
may be drawn from these data without
waiting for tho slight corrections Of the
final statement. IN 1894 the January
failures reached n higher aggregate than
I'm any other month for three years, be-
cause the yearly settlements brought
homo disaster 10 many who had been
weakened by the panic of 1893. There
followed a swift decline IN magnitude Of
Liabilities. tnd throughout 1884 the range
was comparatively low, both in manu-
featuring and in trading, and did not
month a considerable rise nearly every
year prccedes the annual settlements.
In 1873 the failures following
such settlements were unusually
low, and the range would again have been
low through most OF the year except for
specially large manufacturing failures In
two months May and Juue-whlch in
cuded the C0rdage Company for nearly
SiO000O0O, The Walter Wood Harvester
Company. and the Manning Brewery The
December rise was slightly greater than
i'm 1851. and subsequent failures in January
indicated that the wrecks had been less
thoroughly cleared away. This year the
marked rise boo March was directly traced
TO the fact that several large manufac-
turing and two large dry goods houses had
failed 10 distribute goods produced or pur-
chased IN 1880 and the subsequent de-
crease promised a fair summer record
when there came the political agitation
and alarm already mentioned This dis
turbance affected manufacturing concerns
first and most largely. though others OF
importance afterwards suffered.

FISH DYING BY THOUSANDS
Owing to some disease, the nature of
which our fishermen are unable to i'm
agine, the fish In Lake Centennial
have sickened and are dying In my
riads, as many spOrtsmen report, the
edge OF the lake being bOrdered with
''shincrs," forming a band six inches
to a foot wide, while In the deep wa
ter bass from six inches to a foot long,
as we'll as catfish and other varieties,
are either dead or dying. Mr.. Bur-
ton, who called the attention OF sew
eral OF the same kind OF phenomenon,
says something of the same kind &C.
Cured seven or eight years ago, but
can give no idea of the cause. Fisher
men who observed the situation left
the lake and were advising their
friends last evening not to buy any
fresh-watcr fish, unless from abso-
lutely reliable persons, as fish in such
condition can scarcely be wholesome.
The lake is very low, which might ac-
count In some measure for the sick
ness OF the fish, but on the other hand
it Is extremely clear and pure, and
withal very deep, so, unless the on
tamination is from extraordinary
sources the only reasonable supposi.
tion is that the fish are suffering from
a disease.
A negro was seen yesterday who
had scooped up two dozen or more
bass and, In fact, so sick are they that
they hardly offer to get out Of the
way and might be caught with a dip
net by hundreds, 1t is said.

During Thursday night of last week some
unknown miscreants committed an outrageous
act of vandalism by ATTEMPTING to tear up the
track of the Moss Point Railroad near the
Standard Oil Co.'s warehouse, and having
failed to accomplish their purpose they set fire
to the cattle guard. They also cut the tele-
phone and telegraph wires between Scranton
and Moss Point. As soon as the information
reached Sheriff Moore he proceeded to investi-
gate and repair the damage done arriving in
time TO put out the fire, which he accomplished
at the cost of much trouble. Their mean and
despicable act, for which there is no justifable
pretext, is condemned and greatly deplored by
the good citizens of this town.

The people OF Moss Point all along

but on November 2 yielded to the de-

and expected him to arrive on the
night OF November 2. On November
3, news came from Biloxi that DR..
Cant had been stricken with the yell
low fever, on the very day he va ex-
pected in Moss Point. There a be
no question but that he Is sick, and
as he is q years old and a free man, he
could as easily had the yellow fever as
anything else. Now, suppose he had
reached Moss Point and had gone to
bed at DR.. Grifin's, where he was to
be entertained while here and there
taken with yellow fever, would this
not be an official introduction OF yell

IN MEMORIAM.
We can scarcely realize that EMEtINE
BOWMAN is dead; that her lovely image is but
a memory, and her radiant spirit a dream
that has past. Her friends, and who were
not her friends? are 10th to understand that
she has left them forever. So young, so
bright, and winning, so full OF life it is hard
indeed to give her up. Her brief span OF en-
istence was a book Of spotless pages, and
spake no guile. Her presence was a ray of
sunshine, dlffuslng light and fragrance
Truly the spectre Of death has plucked a
flower just blossiming to sweet maturity to
shed its exhalations among its mates in par
adise. Gently as the dying echoes of softest
music heard at midnight her radiant soul
was waited to its Makor. The desolate
home, the fearful faces, the almost despair
ing hearts left behind, bitterly attest the
aching old which now marks, and ever will,
her earthly habitation. But why should we
weep? She has crossed the river but a little
space In advance OF those who loved her, and
beckons them to join her beyond the Pearly
Gates, where suffering and sorrow and part.
ing are no more, and where earthly ties so
hard to sever, are indissolubly united. Could
esteem, admiration or affection, save so
bright an object from the untimely grave,
this tribute had not been essayed; but the
u%nsparing Archer has sought the ''shining
mark" and we are left to mourn.
