Market Better All Around ant
Americans Close Firm.

LONDON. Oct. H.-Money was much
wanted in the market to-day. Discounts
were Arm. Business on ohe Stock Ex-
change was moro cheerful. owing to the
favorable Eastern news. The reduction
OF Lloyd's war rates for insurance was
regarded as being a most hopeful sign,
Consols made a good recovery and home
rails bounded up on the discovery that
stocks had been oversold.
Americans were mostly harder and
quiet, the worst OF the dcpre ssion ~
America being regarded as past. They
closed firm. Grand Trunk recovered
smartly. being rather oversold. Kaifirs
were quietly firm, Japanese securltit'
had a better tone and Rio Tintos were
strong. Copper was steady and gooc
business was transacted In the metal

Stocks which had sagged on negative
news from st. Louis concerning report
ID runs on two strong financial !nstitu-
tons there, rallied a bit in the final
dealings, but still showed some weaken
ing signs. although the prices at the
close were mixed and In some instances
higher than the opening. Trading was
dull.
There were Indications to-day that the
Vanderbilt following in the stock market
which used to be fairly large had taken
new life. Some OF the members OF this
faction who had been heavily lit In the
Junior Vanderbilt issues have determined
TO make a market for these stocks, as
they are rathor difficult to carry in time

Northwest and New York Central, 1t Is
believed, is due to their efforts

opening and continuing until about
o'clock, when there was a reaction
Pennsylvania was an important factor
In the early trading. 1t was soon dis
covered hat the Philadelphia houses
which have been selling the stock lately
had changed their position on the mar
ket and were buying. Erie was helped
by the good showing the road made
for September. and Reading was helped
alphabetically. The report OF better
trade conditions in the iron and stee
market was also an add, while. the an
npuncement that the American Tlr
Plate Company had put In operation
additional mills was used as a bull argu
ment on the Steel issues. One director
OF the company said during the day
that II 1t was not for the Steel Corpor
alton the steel trade would be demoral

have sold at s35 a ton a rear ago now
would be selling below so.
Copper showed considerable strength
during the day, although there were
some indications that the Standard Oil
crowd was selling. at least brokers that
usually act for them were. 1t was no.
ttceable. however, that a number OF
brokers who do not usually touch the
stock were buying 1t. This led many
to believe that the oil crowd was CON

II was noticeable during the day that

ForbIds Cooking Ct Onions.

Indianapolis, April 3O..-The Ap.
pellate Court Of Indiana has decided
that cooking onions is bad for the
neighborhood, thus affirming deois-
ion by the lower Court. II
The family Of James Shroyer, Of
New Castle, lives over the store Of
Campbell Brothers, who do general
dry goods business and carry with it
the millinery business also. The
Shroyer family is fond of cooked
onions, and the odor pervaded the
store below and proved very offensive
to the merchants and their customers.
Campbell Brothers brought suit for
an injunction, and an order was issued
by the Circuit Court forbidding the
cooking of the onions, and from this
Shroyer appealed. The question was
then carried to the Appellate Court.

Gen. Gordon Was Honored With $50, 900
Horse.

To the Editor Of The jour nal: see
that feature of the reunion at New
Orleans will be the presentation of q
horse to Gen. John B. Gordon. This
recalls to mind that this is not the
frat time that this grand old hero has
thus been honored by his old comrades
and followers. g
[ have in my possession a letter
written by my brother, Capt. John
Y. Beding6eld, who was in Gordon 8
brigade. The letter is dated "Camp
Goth Ga. Regiment, Virginia, Febru-
ary 29th, 1864" just thirty nine years
ago, and says:
General Gordon went home on q
sick furlough about two mouths ago.
During his absence the brigade made
up money enough to buy him horse.
A committee was appointed to make
the purchase. They paid $4,000 for
very fine horse. The general re-
turned yesterday evening, and the
presentation, has just taken place.
The entire brigade was drawn up in a
compact column, one .of tho commit
teemen in few remarks presented the
horse, and the general responded in a
beautiful speech. He is fine looking
man and an elegant speaker"
Perhaps there are { number Of Gen.
Gordon's 8 old comrades who remember
the incident.

A Pork Campaign.

The large sales of western hogs in
South Carolina last winter have had
the effect Of stirring up the people Of
that State to sense of their duty
and self-interest in providing their
own supplies.
1t has been demonstrated abundant
ly that hogs can be raised at decided
profit in most parts Of the South and
that the policy of keeping his smoke-
house in the west, which has cost the
southern farmer so dearly, may be
easily abandoned for the wiser and
more profitable policy of producing his
own work.
Some communities of South< Caro-
lima are making notable progress on
this line with prospects Of fine results
ID the early future.
Such is Union county, in which the
Importance Of raising hogs and the
possible profits Of doing SO are attract
ing much attention. The Union cor
respondent Of the Charleston News
and Courier reports that Mr.. s. NJ.
Gilmore, prosperous farmer Of that
county, drove to town last Saturday
wagon that,held thirteen fine pork
ers which he readily sold at 8 cents q
pound. Mr.. Gilmore said that it was
the easiess thing in the world to raise
hogs and that any Industrious, sensi-
Bile farmer can make money at the
business if he will pay proper atten-
tion to it. He did little interesting
figuring on his wagon load Of young
hogs which attracted so much notice
in Union. The thirteen averaged 20
pounds each and brought8 8 cents a
pound thus paying the thrifty farmer
$72.80 in cash. Allowing $40 as the.
profit on a bale Of 8.cent cotton, it
appears that thirteen young hogs such
as Dir. Gilmore took into Union are
about equal in profitableness to seven
bales of cotton. About fourteen acres,
again, are usually required to raise
seven bales of cotton. So that it ap. ap..
pears from Mr.. Gilmore's experience
that one pig pays as well as one acre
of Scent cotton; and tho pig is raised
without bit Of trouble,' while cots,
ton is different.
Georgia, asa State, is much better
adaDted to hog raising tbSn Sopth
Carolina and the peopletof this State
are moving nearer and nearer tcsard
Independence in this respect. 4
The number Of Georgia farmers who
raise their own meat is far larger than
it was even five years ago, while the
number of those who have meat to
sell every year is steadily increasing.
Our people are marching along the
path that leads to independence and
wealth. Atlantis Journal.

All through the speech the negroes
would cry out, Oats SO, Hurrah!
SO fur true, mastcr,' and when the
speaker spoke Of the matches there
was general shout Of approval.
While the speaking was going on a
drunken private soldier was cursing a
gentleman, who looked as if he would
give anything in the world to knock
him down, but hesitated to etart a
general row in which the odds were
SO against him. I don't think his
patience would have lasted much long
cr, when an officer ran up behind the
soldier and jerked him down to the
ground and chokcd and cuffcd him
and then ordered some others to carry
him off. They commenced dragging
him OFF, kicking, struggling and ours

day. remember how delighted I felt
to sec yankee soldier treated in that
way. and saw what looked like an
old bullet wound in his back, which
| thought was the most natural place
for yankee soldier to have wound.
If the negroes had not been SO used to
looking upon the white people as their
natural masters, with whom they had
lived for so many years in love and
confidence, the efforts to stir up their
passions would have been successful
and bloody scenes would have been
witnessed in the South.
One fourth of the effort made upon
the negroes of the present day, with
the white people pinned down with
hostile bayoncts rs they were then,
would have different result. A.

Atty FOR CORRUPTION

Minneapolis, July 11.-Frederick w.
Anes, Ioismer colonel of the Thir-
teenth Minnesota volunteers and
former superintendent of the Mime
apolis police department during the
administration of his brother, DR.. A.
A. Ames, now occupies cell at the
Hennepin county Jail.
The prisoner will be taken to the
Saltwater penitentiary this morning
to begin a six-year sentence.
County Attorney Fred H. Boardman
received information from the sr-
preme court yesterday forenoon that a
decision had been reached in the
Ames case, that that decision was un-
favorable to the convicted man, and
that the decision would be filed this
moEning.
Col. Aames had evidently prepared
himself for this final ordeal-the cul-
minating act in series-of
Sensational Incidents.
He had evidently calculated upon un-
favorable action by the highest judi
cial tribunal to which he could appeal,
for during the past week or two he has
been getting his private affairs in
shape for his departure for Saltwater.
Col. Ames was found at his home
a once happy and refined home that
has been terribly saddened by the un-
fortunate developments Of the past
fifteen months. After taking affection
ate leave of his children and the sor-
rowed wife who has continued loyal
and true and her husbands best and
most comforting adviser since he was
indicted nearly year ago. the former
proud commander Of Minnesota's gal
liant contingent in the war in the Phil
ippines accompanied the deputy sher-
iff to the county jail The prisoner was
then placed
Behind Prison Bars
for the first time in his life. He was
calm, yet his somewhat expressionless
face showed plainly that he fully ap-
preciated the terrible position. When
asked if he had anything to say be-
fore he left to serve out his sentence,
Col Ames simply and firmly said:
II have nothing whatever to say.
The decision of the supreme court
in this case does not surprise the pub
lie in the least The trial and all the
preliminary proceedings had been
watched with very great interest, and
there was feeling that the result Of
the trial was entirely warranted by
the facts and that the case having
been carefully and impartially tried,
there was absolutely no loop hole
through which the condemned man
could escape the sentence of the dis
trict court.
