Money.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. -, 1897.
II is easy to make money when
all conditions point to return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts? We have a
conservative administration. The
country will be governed in fair
ness TO the interests Of business
men. The tariff question IS set
tied. The political situation IS
such that nothing adverse can be
done with the currency question
for three years. Liquidation IS
finished. Leading papers in ku-
rope recognize the deficiency OF
their crops. The United States IS
the only country in a position to
furnish necessary supplies Ex-
change has dropped sharply. Sc
curities have advanced handsome
~. Reactions are natural, healthy
and to be expected. The market
declined this week from one 10
three points, but promptly recov-
cred, and is now advancing.
In the great period Of bushes
revival from 1870 to 1881, when
money was Gearer. securities sold
much higher. Strong people may
combine to sell the market down
to accumulate cheap stocks, but
the future is bright with promise,
and in our opinion all good securi-
ties are a purchase. There rarely
comes an occasion 50 favorable for
the making Of money.

CONFEREES MAKE
TARIFF REPORT.
Dingley Gets in the Long
LOOken-FOr Agree
ment.
DEMOCRATS WANT TO TALK.
The Two Parties Conferred Together, but
the Democrats Are Saving
Their Thunder.

Washington, July 19.-The Repub-
lican members of the tariff conference
committee called in the Democratic
members at 10 o'clock this morning.
Among the Democrats there was a
disposition to allow the Republicans
to have their own way, and make re-
port at once, so that the debate in the
lower branch of congress could pro-
ceed this afternoon.
Before the full committee met, the
Republican members held half an
hours consultation III the appropria-
tion's committees room, at which, as
the final act of their labors, they af-
fixed their signatures to the confer
ence report. When the bill was SUBJ
mitted to the Democrats, the Republi-
cans said they were ready to report,
and would report the bill today.
The house was crowded early today
with members who animatedly dis
cussed the new tariff schedule. Soon
after assembling, Dingley submitted
the conference report ON the tariff
bill, and made an effort to get the
democrats to agree to vote this even
ing, but they insisted on two days for
debate and without reaching any
agreement as to when the vote should
be taken, Dingley took the floor and
spoke in favor of the adoption of the
conference report.

One of Them Was Killed and the Other Fatally

Two negroes, Edwin McKaver and
London Valiant, jumped from an F.
G.. & P. train, one mile above Everett
city, yesterday morning. McKaver
was killed and Valiant will die.
The dead body of McKaver, and Val
liant, in death agony, were found by a
party walking along the track shortly
after the train passed. The people on
the train were not aware of what had
happened and the train did not stop,
The most reasonable suppositlon is
that the men were stealing a ride and
jumped to AVOID detection.
Both were identified at Everett.
McKaver lived at Sterling and his
body was taken to his home on yester-
day afternoons Southern passenger
train. Valiant is being attended to
at Everett but cannot recover.

JUMPED FROM THE TRAIN.
Rash Act of Henry Carroll Resulting in His
Death.

Death.
The wife and two children of Henry
Carroll, colored, foreman for the
Southern railway on the Mallory dock
left for Sand Hill with the excursion
that left Brunswick over the Southern
railway at 9:45 yesterday morning.
Carroll boarded the train at George
street, to give his wife parting mes
sage. The train started, and before
the conversation was finished, had
reached the Monk street crossing,
running at good rate of speed. Car
roll jumped from the second car, and
fell to the ground, with his left foot
under the wheels. The momentum of
the wheel, in severing his foot, threw
his body around upon the track. The
unfortunate man was cut into two
pieces, held together only by the skin
of his back.
He died instantly. The train stopped
and, as it happened, Coroner Jen-
nings was on board, bound for Ever
ett City, in response to another urg-
ent demand fot his services there. He
decided to ans wer the Everett call,
