THE WEST VIRGINIA CROPS.
Conditions Throughput the State
Now Much Improved

CHARLESTON ". Va, Aug 4.-The
secretary of the Board of Agriculture has
just made his monthly crop report. It is
somewhat late. The crop conditions over
most of the State are brighter at present
than at any time during the past four
weeks.
These conditions are the result of the
rainfall that<was more or less general the
18th and goth of July. For some time pre-
vious some sections were suffering from
drought. From recent reports frequent
and heavy rains have prevailed in the eI-
IRENE northern and western. parts Of the

MAYOR DEPRIEsTs sLAYERs.
Hot Chase for the Men Who Killed
the CuIIOden Executive.


HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Aug. 4-John
Depriest, Mayor of Cullcden. was murdered
while assisting in raiding a speakeasy in
that town early in July. His murderers
were Lee Higanbotham and Monroe Tins
ley, and it now looks as though they will
soon be captured. a reward for their ar
rest has been offered and relatives of the
murdered man are here from Lawrence
county, Ohio assisting in locating the slay-
eTs of the young meyor.
Last night a searching party came upon
both Higanbotham ard Tinsley in the
mountains near the CabeIl-Lincoln county
line. only few miles away from the scene
Of the tragedy 1t is alleged that on Tues
day night Hfganbotham visited his family
IN CuIioden and departed for the noun
tains few hours before daybreak CARRIED
IN woman S attire, even to a n-bonnet
This led to party being formed yesterday
which went in pursuit, and last night they
came upon the murderers at the point
above stated. Higanbotham and Tins1ey
had, no doubt, been at this point in the
mountains ever since the tragedy, for here
were discovered cooking utensils and pro-
visions enough to- last them at least
month more. Every effort will be made to
capture them, and it is believed that inside
OF tWentY-fOur hours they will be behind
the bars of the Cabell county jail
Depriest, the murdered mayor, was born
and raised in Lawrence county Ohio and
was one of the prominent young men of
that county. He was elected Mayor of
Cuiloden ten months ago, and since that
time had done much toward reforming the
mountain village. which for years had been
considered one of the most lawless places
in the county

of the new Jim Crow law, which went

ed before the Supreme Court. case has
just occurred which Will cause a test to
be made of the new law. It remains to be
seen, however, whether it will involve the
full merits of the statute, or only some
essential points
The case grows out of request OF Con-

of the Chesapeake and Ohio Road to per-
nit Guard l. W. Baker, of the penitentiary
force, to carry a colored prisoner in the
white car his train. Baker refused to
go into the car set apart for negroes, as is
provided by the new law. Then the law
was produced by the conductor, and he as
signed the prisoner to a seat in the color
ed car. The guard refused to CO. saying
that he was acting under Instructions and

and the train came on to Richmond, leav-
ing the guard and his prisoner
The railroad company intends TO make a
test of it. being confident that under the
law it is intended that the negro prisoners
shall ride in the ''coloreds' coaches They
say the whole intent of the law was to
c0nPeI the negroes TO occupy separate
compartment and that to permit them in
other coaches would both be a violation of
the letter and spirit of the law. This is
the section under which the officer relied
for his course: BE it further enacted that

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say: AT
the end of last week it was apparest
some large financial and speculative in
terests were taking an aggressive posi-
ton on the bull side of the account This
week has witnessed the development. un-
der such auspices, of an active and rising
speculation. Transactions have each
lay attained very respectable dimensions
and though the manipulation and pro-
fessional activity contributed largely to
the interest in the proceedings there
have been more evidences of outside
participation than for long time past.
Buying of stocks by commission houses
has, in fact, recommended on a scale that
costrasts sharply with the lack of any
such support to prices for several months
past. London also has taken a part In
the demonstration, and although the
foreign participation was maintained in
it's character, Europe was a considerable

BRADsTREET's OPTIMISTIC.
Settlement of the Mine Strike Has
Favorable Influence.


NEW YORK, Oct 26-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Despite some irregd-
larities. growing out of unreasonable
weather conditions, heavy price changes
in leading staples or increased conServa-
tism in some trades as the election ap-
proaches, the general business situation,
as a whole, is encouraging and new ele-
ments or manifestations of strength APP
pear from thine to time. Perhaps the
most notable feature OF the week IS
found in the industrial situation which
has been distinctly improved by the
apparently official and final action
taken toward ending the anthracite coal
miners strike. In view of the fact that
most of the miners have obtained i'F-
creased wages, the effect on business in
the producing regions can hardly he
otherwise than beneficial while the trade
at large must reap benefits from the
return to normal conditions. Other
lines of trade which showed improvement
are those of shoes, leather and kindred
products at the East, which are reapinS
the benefit of better distribution in the
country at large, and rather more than
an average business has been done In
wool at the East with holders more IN
clined to demand full prices for their
products. The continued weakness of
cotton is an element of uncertainty In
the dry goods trade, but the firmness of
these products, in the face of the 11ac
decline in price from the high
est, is tribute to the strength of the
competitors as whole. The situation
in cereals shows little change.
