FIRES IN sEPTEMBER.
Monthly Report shows Loss Was Over
 s20,0OO.

The report of the Montgomery fire department compiled yesterday for September shows that while there were not an unusual number of alarms sent in to the department. the firemen had to cope with several serious fires and in one or more instances under the dif- faculties of long distance runs and i'm convenient water supply.
 Two fires that helped materially to increase the monthly loss were those that destroyed several negro dwelling houses and a store in North Montgom- cry. The blaze was the burning of three box cars loaded with cottons The cars with their burning load had to be drawn by an engine out of the rail- road yards to a place in North Mont gomery convenient to 6 fire plug and on that account the blaze gained head way and necessarily increased the loss.
 Fourteen alarms were answered du- ring the month. one of which was re- ceived by the box telegraph system and the others by telephone. The charac- ter of the buildings involved were one three-story brick. one one-story brick three two-story frames, six one-story frames and three railroad freight cars.
 The value of the threatened property was $32,S50, and the value of the con- tents of such property was $55,665.25 :. The loss on the buildings was $s.644 10 and on the contents $l2,S14.ss which was under insurance amounting to s27,3oO on buildings and $45,91A.25 on contents.
 The amount of insurance paid for losses on buildings was SS,144.10 and on contents $9.974 .93 which made Q loss of $4,S40 over and above the insu- rance paid on losses.
 During the month the department re- eeived 4,0O0 feet of modern improved fire hose and found use for 1t several times in laying long lines of hose. at one time line of hose over 2,o00 feet long having been laid in order to get a stream of water on a burning house.

WILL NOT TAKE STUMP.
Chairman Taggart Announces Judge
Parker's Course of Action in
Present Campaign.

New York, Oct. 7.-Chairman Tag
CART at democratic headquarters gave
out the following statement Thursday:
Shortly after his nomination Judge
Parker set about the consideration OF
his course of action toward the conduct
of the campaign. He consulted many
men of large experience in such mat
tiers and made an examination OF the
course of every successful candidate.
That done he decided, as it was neces-
sary for him to do, what his course
should be, and he caused that decision
to be made generally known. 1t was to
the effect that he would not go upon
the stump; that such speeches as he
should deem it desirable to make
could be made at Rosemount, follow
ing in that respect the Mckinley pre-
cedent of 1896. That decision made
and announced he proceeded to work
along the lines he had marked out for
himself. He believed then-as he be-
lieves now-that he decided rightly.
and no amount of entreating would
bulge him. His record during all his
life proves that clamor will not move
him one iota. The incident is closed
and those in charge of the campaign
fully approve of the determination of
Judge Parker"

GROWS BRIGHTER.
Trade Outlook Is Helped by Many
Features Which Are
Favorable.

New York, Oct. S.-R. G. Dun's
Weekly Review of Trade says: with
the crops almost beyond danger, prices
of securities at the highest point since
May, 1903, and idle machinery resum-
ing at many factories and mills that
have been closed for months, the bust
ness outlook grows steadily brighter.
BY far the best feature of the situation
is the confidence manifested by an in
creased disposition to provide for flu
ture requirements. This is by no
means general, but it is noticed at pig
iron furnaces, wooden mills and among
dealers at widely separated points,
particularly those located in the agri-
cultural sections. Mercantile collec-
tons are also more prompt.
Failures this week in the United
States are 222, against 223 last week.
225 the preceding week and 2S9 tn"
corresponding week last year. Fall
ures in Canada number 25, against IS
last week, 80 in the preceding week
and II last year."
Bradstreet's says: Popular esti-
mates of leading crop yields continue
to enlarge, corn has passed out of dan
ger of serious frost damage in the
west, and distribution, both at whole
sale and retail, expands as cooler
weather approaches. Additional IA
vorable features are the continuance
of the good tone in pig-iron, freer buy
ing by railways of material and rolling
stock, and heavy general crop move
ment helping collections north and

ing. Mr.. Cook issued lengthy state
ment to the public giving his reason
