LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE
American Securities Weak as Result of
 Pennsylvania Strike

London, Sept. 23-The Stock Exchange had, on the whole, quiet experience last week. The decision of the government re- specting the Parliamentary general elee- tons was virtually a death blow to busl- ness, which Is not likely to show signs of reviving life until these are over. Indica- tions of dearer money are not wanting and the Chinese outlook is discouragng. South Africa Is the one bright corner on the hori- zon. The war is to all intents and pur- poses at an end, and a great development of trade is expected to follow close upon the heels of peace.
 A dull, dreary week closed with a gen eral downward trend, although consols, af- ter touching 9S, finished at 989s.
 As a natural result of the Pennsylvania coal strike American securities were de- cidedly weak, showing a depression of from to 8 points on the week, although a bet ter tone prevailed yesterday and some lines closed higher. Illinois Central rose F point, Reading seconds F. Reading A, Baltimore and Ohio A and Union Pacific A.
 On the other hand, Louisville and Nash vile fell N, Union Pacific preferred #, Chesapeake and Ohio A, Denver and Rio Grande preferred A and Southern Pacific d the lowest figures, Berlin operators ex- pecting pronounced revival before the end of the year.
 Mining shares were somewhat neglected, Bands falling B. This was not strange, as many purchasers at very low prices had been unloading at the higher quotations recently obtainable
 One weekly commentator on financial matters dwells upon Americas new role as a money lender, saying: America, so long the principal debtor to Europe, only few years ago had to place war loan on this side of the Atlantic. Now she has become a great reservoir of wealth, from which the most powerful states of the old world do not hesitate to seek to replenish their resourcees."
 At last Thursdays meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bank of England Chief S. s. Gladstone, governor of the bank, made the significant statement that the reserve possibly would be reduced by the end of the year.

TWO ELDERS WERE
 PAINTED BLACK
Mansfield Mob Takes Them in Hand and LiberaIIy Ap-
 plies the Brush.

Mansfield, O., September 2S.-Another mob broke loose here this morning and El- ders Ephraim Bassinger of Bluffton and Silas Mott of Lima were its victims. The two elders got off an Erie train early this morning unknown to the authorities. They were recognized by @ small crowd at the depot which refused to let them enter a cab, then followed them up the street and surrounded them near the centre of the city They were then taken by the mob to the Richland Buggy Works, where Bas- singer disrobed, but the crowd tore Moot's clothing from his body as he refused to disrobe himself. paint bucket and a brush were then secured and smokestack varnish, a tar-lke substance, was dobbed over them from head to foot. It matted in their hair and no part of their bodies escaped but their faces. Their bodies were then. partially covered with their clothing and the elders were marched to the home of F. H. Leibi, Zion follower here, who was driven out of the city last Sunday. They there promised not to return to Mansfield but later they said that they agreed not to return unless Overseer Piper ordered them to come. They then were marched to the city prison and imprisoned.
 By applications of lard and benzine the black varnish was cut and after new out fits of clothing were furnished they were deported on a Pennsylvania train at noon.

BERLIN MARKET
The Bourse Experienced Exceedingly
 Bad Condition During Week

Berlin, September 23.-The bourse last week experienced exceedingly bad condi- tions. Heavy falls were reported along the entire list of industrials. Yesterdays prices were the lowest of the year. The week began with the announcement of reduction in the price of rolled iron goods by the Silesian syndicate from 121 marks to 1SO This caused a bad break in iron and coal shares. As a consequence the Bours yesterday was almost in a panicky state. Heavy selling orders for iron and coal shares from German outsiders, re- inforced by the bears reduced quotations violently. The falls in iron shares ranged from 10 to 20 points and in coal shares from to 9. The weakness of the bourse caused considerable surprise because money grew easier all the week and the first re- turns from the great coal companies show ed such splendid results Indeed the money market improved beyond all expectation. Private discount declined ss during the week, closing at AS. Loans for the nonth- ly settlement command from 4B to 5B
 The Rhein Westfaelische Zeitung asserts that the government intends to raise a loan of hundred to hundred and twen- ty million marks at 9h per cent in Ger many before the end of the year.
 Germanys coal imports during August showed an increase of 199,243 tons over Au- gust of 1S99 the exports showing an in- crease of 77,S12 tons Iron imports increas- ed 151,141 tons, the exports decreasing 113 tons. The incomes of German, railways last month aggregated 155,000,000 marks, or an increase of 100000 marks upon the figures of August 1899.
 The sugar market Is strong, in conse- quence of the dry weather prevailing throughout Europe and the heavy Ameri- can buying. The investigations of Herr Licht, the sugar expert, show that the average sugar contents of beets through out Germany equals 17.44 per cent as against 15.7S per cent in 1899.
 Of late travel to the United States has been unprecedentedly heavy.
 From Bermen, the North German Lloyd steamers took 5,563 passengers last week. the Grosser Kurfurst carrying 1,9S0.

MEXICO GENEROUS
Over $e,0OO Subscribed for Benefit of
 Galveston Sufferers

City of Mexico, Sept 23.-The American colony and sympathizers have to date sub scribed over 5000 for the Galveston flood sufferers and the lists are still open.
 An article in a Los Angeles paper advo- eating the annexation of Mexico to the United States and charging that American residents are conspirlng to bring about an nexation has aroused much comment. The Mexican Herald denies that Americans in this country are abusing the hospitality this country so generously offers to con- spire against the political integrity of Mexico. Such articles do intense harm to American interests by arousing the sus- picion of Mexican people and infaming their minds against Americans.
 The Mexican Journal adds that the accu- sation is insulting to every honest and self respecting American in Mexico, and is cal culated to revive the dying prejudice and reinforce attacks of a class of papers here whose capital largely consists in feeding the suspicious of reactionists and enemies of the present progressive administration, which is cordially friendly to American capital and enterprises, as 1t also is at the Capital. It was only the other day that we showed how President Polk, in 1S47 refused to listen to the project of the mili tary and jingo party in the United States for the absorption of Mexico. We are con- fident that the same spirit animates lead ing men of the United States. In the great American newspapers we find con- tinuaf expressions of good will towards the country and cordial interest placed in its progress and welfare.

HOWARD TRIAL
Evidence is Not Yet All In-Number of
 Witnesses

Frankfort. Ky, September 2..-The evi- dence in the case of James Howard wa.5 not contluded today, as was expected The prosecution consumed the entire day in its rebuttal of testimony with the exception of one witness, who was put on the stanu this afternoon for the defense. This was Robert Craft of Clay County, who identi- fled a picture of Howard which he had taken in October of last year, and which showed that Howard wore no mustache or beard of any sort at that time, and was consequently good testimony for the de- fense, in view of the testimony given by witnesses who testified that the man who jumped over the rear fence of the capitol grounds at the time of the shooting of Goebel wore a mustache.
 The prosecution made deep inroads in the defenses testimony this morning by introducing a number of other witnesses who swore that Howard was not in the Board of Trade Hotel at the time of the shooting, as he testified, and as others who testified in his behalf said. Among those who testified as to who were in the hotel office at the time and who also swore Howard was not there were s. T. Pence 
 respectively, and Robert and VIII Triplet
 The jury this afternoon was taken to the state house grounds and allowed to view the scene of the tragedy and other points of interest in connection with the case. The defense will introduce some witnesses in rebuttal Monday. The testimony in- troduced will be mainly with view to breaking down the testimony of Bowman Gaines and others who indentified Howard as being on the can1t-i Srnnnds on the morning of y also to fur ther impeaoh .,uovreneld and other com monwealth witnesses
 At the afternoon session of court Robert Triplet testified that he was in the Board of Trade Hotel at the time of the shoot ing. He recalled several parties in the hotel office at the time and was positive Jim Howard was not there. R. J. Sidwell was introduced by the prosecution for the purpose of impeaching Witness Poor of the

ROLLING MILLS
 WILL NOW RESUME
After Having Been We'll and Ex-
 tenSiveIy Repaired.
NEARLY Y TWO THOUSAND MEN
At Birmingham Are Effected Hopeo Work Will Begin This Week, and Mills be Run at Full
 Capacity Soon

The Birmingham and Gate City rolling mills will resume operations soon as practicable, and thus give employment to about 1,500 men who have been idle since July 1.
 The Age-Heralds special dispatch from Cincinnati. printed yesterday morning. told of the agreement reached between the Amalgamated Association and the Re- public Iron and Steel Company and the American Steel and Hoop Company. The terms of the agreement were not obtainable at the time the dispatch was filed, but, as will be seen by the press dispatches this morning, both sides made concessions. The rate of wages to be received by the iron and steel workers under the new contract does not differ greatly from the rate under the contract that expired on June 30.
 Since the local mills shut down last sum- mer they have been thoroughly repaired and put in first class condition They are ready to go into operation, and it was officially stated yesterday that they would start up at onee probably within the week. They will not be run on full time at the beginning, but as the demand for the pro- duct increases the output will be increased. When the mills closed down the last of June they had several thousand tons of the finished product on hand, a considera- ble portion of which remains still unsold.
 The resumption of work at the rolling mills will add several thousand dollars to the weekly pay rolls of the city, and thus benefit the merchants. When running on full time the two mills employ from 150o to 1900 men, all of whim receive good wapeS

Removing Distractions from the
 Tennessee River.
WILL IMPROVE NAVIGATION
The Chapin Goal & Ice Company to Enlarge Its Plant t-Twenty-fy Ton Machine Ordered
 An Interesting Relic

Florence, September 22.-(Special.)-Th present low water in the Tennessee river the past three months has greatly facili- tated the work of removing Instructions to navigation. The steamer McPherson and crew of men are at work removing ob- etructions at Limestone reef, five miles above Decatur. The steamer Lookout and a dredge boat are working near Johnson vile, dredging sand bars and getting out trees and other Instructions. A large force of stone cutters are at work at Kellar's quarry, three miles below Florence, getting stone ready for the new system of locks for the proposed Colberts shoals canal and locks. The government appropriated $100,- 00o for the continuance of this work last year. It requires an annual appropriation of s60,000 to keep and operate the Muscle shoals canal between Florence and Deca- tur. The river and harbor committee on it's tour of inspection last year down the Ten nessee said that they would recommend in their report, continuance of the locks and canal from lock 9, the foot of the pres ent Muscle shoals canal to this city. This will make the river above Florence navi- gable the year round, while at the present time the smaller boats can not reach the lower lock from the fact that raccoon bar and other Instructions make the river im passable in low water. The fall rise comes about the first of November when the larger craft from the lower river resume their freight traffic. During the low water of the summer season the large boats make Riverton the terminus.
 S. s. Broadus, cashier of the Merchants Bank of this city, is recipient of very in- teresting relic in the shape of an old sword cane from Maj. D. D. White of Moulton, Ala, editor of the Mouton Advertiser, one of the oldest papers in the State and the South. The cane is of ebony, with ivory handle and has very fine steel sword, The cane was given to Major White in 1865 by a gentleman whom he does not remember by name but the handle has the initials of the gentleman. The cane was made in the cen- tury and bears the inscription, U. T. Y. to M R. G.
 The Chapin Coal and Ice Company have closed contract with the York Manufac- turing Company of York, N. r., for 25- ton ice and cold storage plant to be ready for operation by the first of the year. The ice company has been successfully oper- ated for the past ten years but the pres ent plant is too small to supply the de- mand and they have been compelled to put in a new plant. The ice company will be able to supply Sheffield, Tuscumbia and the towns of this immediate section next season.

though these were often impracticable. Occasional sales were made to China. Ac- counts with the Straits, Java and the Philippines made a poor showing, and Af- rican trade was disappointing.
 The feeling among manufacturers is that 1t would have made little difference whether or not the spinners' federation had adopted a resolution to close the mills, because eighty per cent of the machinery would inevitably have been idle, as only supplies enough to run the other twenty per cent are obtainable.
 As usual the Parliamentary elections will interfere with business for the next few weeks.
