NEW YORK. Oct 1.-THE new agreement for
River was the subject of much discussion in the
dry goods trade to-day. The new plan includes a
shutting down OF various mills for eight weeks
between Nov. l and Feb. l. The market showed
no absolute gain to-day on the strength of this
announcement but there stronger feeling
prevailing among sellers. The quotations on ex-
ira s still 15-16c. but sales at this figure are
reported. In the local market trading slow
again. The weather Is said by jobbers to be un-
suitable to the sale Of seasonabe goods and light
trading is the rule. The market for staple cotton
was quiet in all lines. Converters made no heavy
purchases. The cuttng-up trade was Of heavy
caliber, hut did not meet the expectations Of
sellers. Export goods were in quiet request.

was found not guilty to-day of the charges
which were made against her by the Calu-
met Electric Street-railway Company. from
whom she recently secured $12. 900 for i'm

Fast Runs Over the Vanderbilt

A well-known general passenger agent
of a Chicago line was lately compIimented

but what is worrying me is whether, in
the summer and fall of next year, the ex-
hibit will be as favorable as the present
year" The general manager answered

trail Traffic Association territory has been
unusually large this year Several large
meetings have been held at indianapolis,
Cincinnati and other points in this section
and excursions have been run on week days
and Sundays in larger numbers than In any
former year. and for that reason there is
some room for anxiety as to passenger
business next year, but the freight men
have no cause for worry, at least for the
present, as the country is full Of freight of
all classes. Much of the grain crop of 1897
and all of that of 1898 is yet to be shipped to
market, and the prosperous times with the
iron industries and manufacturing inter-
ests generally mean good business for many
months. From this time on. in freight traf-
fic, comparisons will be made with the
months of 1897 and 1898 when the business
with the railroads began to improve hand
somely.

To attend a. banquet in Chicago one night
and stay until the lights are put out and to
go to the theater in New York the following
evening, says the New York Tribune. is
something out of the ordinary run. but that
is just what some Vanderbilt system off,
Gals have done. Aside from this departure
from the routine these same railroad off,
Gals have been doing some remarkable
travelling within the last five days. Last
Thursday a special train composed of four
cars and an engine started from the Grand
Central Station at $3.50 o'clock in the morn

New York Central. President Newman, of
the Lake Shore, and Marvin Hughitt. pres
1dent OF the Chicago & Northwestern.
Twenty-four hours later this train crossed
the Mississippi river. That was feat in
itself, as the running time of the Central's
fastest limited train to Chicago is Just
twenty-four hours. After a visit to the
Omaha exposition the party returned to
Chicago and there Mr.. Depew made two
speeches. After the dinner of the Hamilton
Club, in Chicago. on Tuesday night the re-
turn trip was made. Mr.. Depew and Mr.
Galloway boarded their cars at 1890 (Chi-
cago time), or 1870 o'clock in the morning
New York time and the word was given
to the engineer. AT $50 o'clock TUESDAY,
night the train rolled into the Grand Cen
trail Station five hours snort of the twenty
four hour run. On the return trip were
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Samuel r. Galloway
G.. Creighton Webb, and two of Mr.. De-
pews friends. The fast time was cele-
brated by theater party here last even

A PETITION TO THE COUNCIL.
To Publish Ordinances in the Spanish
 Language.

A large number of Mexican citizens have petitioned the city council for better understanding of the ordi- nances that they may obey them. If man Is unfamiliar with a language in which a law is written it is apt to be first expounded to him by an officer and its meaning Is likely to be further impressed upon him by a jail sentence or fine. A knowledge of law ac- quired in this manner is seldom for gotten, but this advantage is offset by so many disadvantages that the sixty three Mexican residents yesterday ad- dressed the council as follows:
 ''To the Honorable Mayor and Com
 mon Council of the City of Phoenix:

SOUTHERN MILITARY CAMPS.

The conclusion of some northern pal pers that the south is unhealthy be- cause the military camps located in this section of country have typhoid and malaria fever is so absurd that it is hardly worth noticing. Take Chickamauga, for instance; there Is not healthier spot in the United States. And still there is fever and disease at Chickamauga. The reason is very simple-the sanitation is bad; it is not properly looked after. Put 40,000 men in camp, and unless there is perfect cleanliness and a regard for the ordinary laws against contamina- tion of drinking and cooking water, there is going to be typhoid fever. It does not take a cavant to discover this Eternal vigilance is the price of health in a military camp-Nashville American.
