WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
EFFECT OF SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
ON SECURITIES.


(By Telegraph to rirginian-P ilot.)
New York, Nov. 3.-R G. Dun &
Company's weekly review OF trade will
say to-morrow:
British disasters in South Africa
have brought to view something be-
sides the steady self-rcliance Of the
British people, that they hold not many
American securities to be dislodged in
any time of alarm, but are inclined to
take more when money looks for safe
inves tment.

FULLER TO HANG.
Convicted of Murder of Mrs. POttle
and Sentenced To Die On
January 5th Next.

The trial of Allen Fuller, the negro
charged with the murder of Mrs. Eu-
genia Pottle, ended at Macon, Ga,
Saturday, when the jury returned q
verdict of guilty.
The case attracted more attention
than any since the trial Of Tom Wool
folk many years ago, and when the
verdict was read there was a ripple Of
applause, which was promptly quieted
by the officers in charge of the room.
The case was given to the jury at
1905 o'clock Saturday afternoon and
promptly at 30 o'clock a verdict of
guilty was returned. There was a
large crowd assembled in the court
room all during the morning and a
still larger one when the jury came
back after finding the verdict.
After the verdict was read the attor-
neys for the defense polled the jury
and the verdict seemed unanimous.
Judge FELTON, then discharged the
jury. Before passing the sentence he
asked Fuller if he had anything TO say.
The prisoner replied that he did, and
rising, again stated that he was inno-
cent of the crime; that Redd killed
Mrs. Pottle. He said that if he had
not walked down the road with Redd
that night he would not have been on
trial.
He said that he had not had q fair
trial; that the witnesses who testified
against him were his enemies. He
reiterated that he did not kill Mrs
Pottle and his plea for new trial waf
pitiful, and he for the first time show
ed emotion.
When he resumed his seat Judge
FELTON, sentenced him to be hanged in
private January 9Th.
Alfred Redd, the negro whom Fuller
said killed Mrs. Pottle, was not i'm
plicated by any of the testimony in
troduoed, except that of the prisoner
who made a statement to the effec
that Redd did the killing. It is be-
lieyed by some that Redd had some
connection with the crime, but ther,
was no other evidence against hin
other than Fuller's statement.

DIR. Rekow and Mr.. Wirth, the Ger.
man experts sent to examine the
American meat-ezporting trade, after
inspecting the Chicago packing
houses, have expressed their surprise
and admiration at the perfection aud
cleanliness of American methods.
Germany's new law regulating the
Importation of live cattle and meat
products, passed by the Reiohstag
last winter, made provision for a
special examination of pork for
trichine. These gentlemen say that
our own methods of hog inspection
are far better than the new German
system. If trichin@ are found in
German pork, for example, the meat
may be put on the market after being
thoroughly cooked, while here pork
impaired in any way is worked up into
by-products that are not used as food.

It has been discovered in st. Paul,
Mimi, that electric ground connec-
tions, made by attaching wires to
water pipes, not only ruin the pipes
by electrolysis, but seriously inter
fere with the operation Of the water
meters. In one case meter through
which large quantity Of water was
being discharged failed to register.
This was an extreme case and easily
detected, but what the effect has been
upon the indicators in cases where
the current is not so strong the Off
GERS of the Water Board have no
means to determine. To protect
themselves. however, they have
ordered the removal of all electric
wires from the water pipes. It is a
measure of safety, too, for the en-
ployes Of the Board, many of whom
have been severely shocked while at
work upon the pipes and meters.

For many years trade unions ofmen
and women have existed, but strictly
women's unions have been fower and
not nearly SO successful. Tt has been
asserted time aud again that women
will not form trade unions; that wo-
men do not enter trades and profess
sions as a life business, but only as q
temporary Glide over" and aspire to
marriage as the only union instituted
for her we'll being and relief. The
only ground for these assertions is
that women have not yet to any great
extent successfully maintained trade
unions, which is perhaps because they
have not thoroughly understood how to
go about it. But the wheels Of intel
lect have not been still, the eyes
closed, nor the hands idle, and a more
practical and thorough understanding
of their position and worth in the in
dustrlal world is the result.
