Throughout the island general dis

At the meeting of the Board of

the schedule.
Letters from the chief of police

lecting a new site for a schooihouse

new scboolhouse of two rooms be
built at Nahiku. A motion to
that effect prevailed and the action

Prosecutions 60 Follow an Attempt to
Murder a Negro Postmaster.
Tie recent shooting of the ne
gro postmaster at Hogansville
threatens to entail no end of
trouble for the people of that
town, says late dispatch from
Atlanta, Georgia. A post Office
inspector has flushed three days
investigation of the shooting, and
it is stated that, as a result of his
work, two of the most prominent
business men in the town will be
arrested on the charge of attempt
ing to assassinsto the postmaster.
The people Of the town are called
upon to face u most uncomfortable
state Of affairs. They have never
yet patronized the negro post
master directly, ihe old postmast-
er, Hardway, maintaining his
old post Office, aud sending for
and obtaining, in bulk, the mail
matter for all his white patrons.
Their letters were mailed on the
train. The ex-postmaster will be
prosecuted for this, and the letters
can no longer be mailed on the
trains. When this action was an
nounced, the citizens conceived
the plan of having their mail sent
to the nearest post Office, and
sending a carrier for it. They are
now told that this will be in vic
lation of the law, which permits
only the govern ment to maintain
a post route. Feeling is high
among both whites and blacks.

In discussing the financial situation at
New York, Henry Clews says: THE ex-
traordinary interest taken in the mayoralty
canvass acts as disturbing influence. In
vestors are naturally sensitive to any SEEM
ing possibility that either the Tammany or
the George tickets should succeed; and
with so much confusion and uncertainty as
exists as between the chances of the four
contestants in the field, the temper of the
market oscillates with every change in the
political kaleidoscope. The attitude of the
bear contingent is significant. Consider
ing the weakening effects of the past reac-
ton, they are much more cautions than
might be expected, avoiding large lines of
shorts and generally adopted mild tao
tics, barring their enterprising canards,
which are far from mild.
While Wall street is taking resignedly
this interruption in It's adjustment of the
value of securities to the changes in the
conditions that control their earnings, we
find no change in that great revival of our
industries and trade which has started this
movement. Step by step, the great recov-
cry progresses, and has now reached every
branch of trade In some industries, manu-
facturers are taken by surprise at the ex-
panded prospects that are opening before
them. 1t is something more than had been
hoped for that, WITHIN six months our
whole range Of home markets should have
risen from comparative prostration to a
state of healthy prosperity. But added to
this, we have plain evidences that our
growing grasp upon the export trade-which
had been regarded as only an incident of
the exceptionally low prices connected with
the oepression-lS natural result of our
national development which has come TO
stay and 10 give us a new and profitable
expansion of our trade. This new drift has
become especially conspicuous in the iron
lily taking large orders over the heads of the
British ana German competitors and also
III the electric industry, in which we are
equally successful against foreign manufac-
tuTcrS.
me best expression of the extent of the
revival of trade is afforded by the condi-
ton OF the transportation interest. A true
measure of the recovery in railroad traffic
is afforded by the following statement of
the gross earnings of twenty-one railroads
for the fourth week of September, Just re-
ported, compared with those OF the same
week of
