the pay roll Of the company at
one time-are bending their en-
ergies toward turning out the
completed machines within con-
tract time.
The other great locomotive
works in this country are like
wise pressed to the limit of their
capacity and compelled to decline
orders, except for delivery at
distant dates.
The railroads of this country
have neither engines nor cars
enough to handle the traffic that
is pouring in upon them without
the slightest prospect of decreas-
ing in the early future, and in
this march of progress, the south
is conspicuously to the front.
Richmond has its locomotive
works, Newport News its ship
building, High Point its furni-
ture, Charlotte and Colum bia
their cotton mills, Mt. Pleasant
it's Phosphate, Birmingham it's
iron and steel, Beaumont it's oil,
Memphis it's woodworking estab-
lishments, and so on through the
list. In all of these communities
is reflected the prosperity of the
south, but in none of them, per-
haps, isl the evidence stronger
than at New Orleans. Special
correspondence from that city in
this weeks issue of the Manufac-
turers' Record says:
In commerce, in finauce in
manufactures, in rice and oil, in
lumber, in railroad building and
in municipal development the
progress is truly striking, and in
the promise for still further adj
vanCement the conditions of to-
day hold out opportunities of the
most attractive sort. Indeed, it
would, almost appear as if New
Orleans and this whole region
were only just getting in good
working form; that what has been
done were largely of a prelimi-
nary character and that what is
still to be done will far surpass
everything heretofore accom-
plished. For instance, it is a
great achievement that New Or
leans has by almost unanimous
consent agreed to bond itself for
a most comprehensive system of
sewerage and drainage, and I'M
der the operations of the new
sanitary laws the city has be-
come one of the healthiest in the
country. The commerce Of the
city, domestic and foreign re-
ceipts, amounts for the year to
sos, 100000, an increase overlast
year of $33,OO0,OOO. The bank
clearings for the year were $780,
100000, an increase of $4,000
900. 1t is stated that in new in
dustries and in the improvement
of those already established about
100000 have been invested
since the beginning of this year.
All the old houses in the business
center of the city, some of which
had been vacant for years, are
now occupied, and the demand is
now greater than the supply.
What is said here of New Or
leans may be said of many south
ern communities, and all the
South is prosperous.

Kansas, Wisconsin and Washington,
and the Democrats seven, namely:
North Carolina, Delaware, Arkansas,
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and
Missouri. This insures 81 Republic
ans and "a Democrats in the next SEN
ate. The result of the contests, owing
to the meager returns received is still
in doubt in Nevada, Idaho and Colo
RADIO, with the chances favoring the
election of Democratic legislatures.
Although the returns from the
doubtful congressional districts were
slow in arriving the indications are
that the Republicans would control the
next house of representatives by q
narrow margin. In the present house,
with membership of 357, the Repub-
licans have Al majority. Under the
new apportionment the Fifty-eighth
house will consist of 1856 members, a
majority of which is 1874. The 13
southern states, not counting West
Virginia, but incluolng Missouri, have
125 Representatives. The Democrats
have carried 116 of these districts and
the Republicans probably five, two in
Tennessee, one in Kentucky and two
in Missouri, with two in North Caro-
lima, one in Virginia and one in Ala
bama doubtful, according to the latest
returns. To obtain a majority in the
next house it was necessary, therefore,
for the Democrats to secure IS votes
in the north and west. In this ter
ritory they have at present So rep
resentatives. The latest returns indi-
cate that this strength has been held,
with the exception of one seat each
from Idaho, Montana and Nevada, and
as to these states Lne returns at this
hour are not conclusive. Adding 40
to 116 gives the Democrats 1865. The
Democrats show they have made a
gain of three in Pennsylvania, one in
Nebraska, one In Delaware, one in
Wisconsin, two in Maryland. one in
Colorado and probably four in New
York, swelling the total to 178. This
leaves them 16 short of majority,
with the result in five doubtful south
ern districts to be heard from and
doubtful districts in the north and
west from which the returns are aS yet
inadequate as follows: West Virginia,

Washington, Nov. 5. - Chairman

headquarters were too meager to per-

original declaration that the Demo-
Gratis would have a majority of % in
the house. He claimed gain Of five
seats in New York, two each in Mas.
sachusetts, Maryland and Kentucky,
one in New Jersey and others from
various states.
The returns received at Republican
headquarters, with about 15 doubtful
districts to hear from, indicate that
the Republicans will have the next
house of representatives.
The next United States senate will
be Republican by at least 16 majority,
against the present majority Of 20.
The present senate contains 81 Re
publicans and "a Democrats in total
of 80 seats, there being two vacancies
from Delaware, where the Republican
legislature failed to elect. The terms

congress. There is also a vacancy

burg, fell from balloon here and was
instantly killed She had ascended to
a height of 1000 feet, hanging by her
arms, as she started, being unable to
draw herself up to the trapeze bar.
In vain she struggled to draw her
body up tc the trapeze bar, but each
effort only exhausted so much
strength Finally the climax was
reached, when the form was seen to
culver and leave the balloon. Over
and over it turned until the body fell
to the ground. crushed and broken.
