PRICES of BUILDING mArEniALs.
with the Exception of Brick, There
La Littlo Advnncc.


The unprecedented demand for all
classes of building material since the
storm OF September s has had practically
no effect on the prices OF the various ma
terials used in building, with the excep-
tbon of brick. Sheet iron is about per
cent higher than month ago. but the
advance took effect September 1, before
the storm. There is no change In the
prices OF nails or roofing material
No advances are scheduled in tho lum-
Der trade; in fact. such proceeding
would be almost impossible here without
a corresponding advance all over the
country since Houston is so close 60 the
big lumber mills of Southeast Texas.
AS previously noted in The Post, the
brick manufacturers and dealers have run
the price UP from 50 per 1000 until in some
cases as high as SIS has been paid.

"As to the issues they must depend
largely upon the national and interna-

years. It may be laid down primarily,
however, that the Democratic party
will never vary from its established
fundamentals, strict construction OF
the constitution and an answering
adherance to its principles and an
economically administered government
for the benefit Of the governed. The
silver question may solve itself. Should
the amount Of gold produced be ample
to maintain sufficient volume of me-

Of prices, the silver question will be
subordinated; but should the supply
fall short Of the demand Of trade, the

CHAIRMAN JONES ON THE RESULT.
Saws the Future win Determine the Issues OF
Next Campaign.

United States Senator James K.
Jones, chairman Of the Democratic
National committee, gave out an inter-
view last Thursday, the first since the
election. Among other things he said:
1.-THE election result was great sur
prise to all Democrats. All were so
confident of success that the sweeping
Republican victory came as a severe
shock. Even on the evening of the day
before election, re-assuring telegrams
came from leaders that New York was
safe for Bryan, and from leaders In
other pivotal states that the Democrats
were sure to win. 1t was these fore
casts that buoyed us up to the last
moment, and made the actual result
more startling. But Mr.. Bryan Is a
great man, one Of the greatest LII
America today, and his influence VIII
be felt for many years to come III
American politics. He is a giant IN
intellect and simply indefatigable In the
prosecution Of a campaign. whether
he will be a candidate for the pres
idency in the near future remains to be
seen; but it Is not probable that ne
will It Is more reasonable to presume
that he would decline the nomination,
even should it be offered to him.
Reorganization? Oh, that's all
nonsense. There's nothing in 1t, and
II will blow over in 80 days. 1t Is
precipitated by those who deserted the
party and gave aid and comfort to the
enemy, and does not represent the
strength or the spirit Of the genuine
democracy. What they would do Is to
adopt all the policies Of the Republi-
can party and be Democrats only in
name. But granting that there's Is

Says Charlotte dispatch Of We'd
nesday: Last night two old ladies, Vio-
let ]. Colley, aged rs, and her niece.
Jane Cathcart, who lived alone in a
house on main thoroughfare five
miles from Charlotte, were murdered,
robbed and their bodies burned. The
old ladies were generally reported to be
wealthy. It is known that they had a
good deal Of money. They had lived a
retired life for years and seldom ven
tured away from home, not even to the
city, except when business compelled a
visit. The house which they occupied,
stood within $50 feet Of the roadside.
Near 1t was a small building, which
they used as kitchen and in which
they kept their stores. People passing
along the road this morning noticed
that the small house had been burned.
There was no sign of life about the
place and an investigation showed that
the dwelling had been ransacked from
top to bottom, indicating that a most
thorough search had been made. for the
money which the old ladies were sup
posed to have kept in the house. Bu-
reaus, desks and cabinets had been
opened and their contents strewn
about. Every nook and corner Of the
house bore evidence Of having been
searched. The general surroundings
and the absence Of the old couple point
ed all too plainly to case Of murder,
robbery and arson, and 1t was no sur
prise when a search Of the ashes Of the
small building revealed two burned
stumps, the bodies of Mrs. Colley and
her niece. The supposition Is that the
old ladies were attacked while they
were at supper, after which their resi-
dence was sacked and the house in
which their bodies lay was fired. For
years past they had been known to be
accommodating money and had probably
81, 200 saved up. There Is absolutely no
clue to the perpetrators Of the deed.
The neighborhood people are greatly
excited and both city and county oft1-
cials are using every effort to get
trace of the murderers.
