LoNGWoRTH NEARING HOME.
Congressman Is Expected to Stir Up
 Cincinnati Affairs.

Cincinnati. September 20.-oSpecial) )- Word has been received from Congress- man Nick Longworth that he will reach Chicago Saturday, and will at once leave for home This means that he will be in this city Saturday night. and it also means that there will be important poit- ical developments shortly thereafter. The mayoraty boom, which has been care fully matured during the absence of Mir. Longworth. will be brought out and dis played before that gentleman, and he will be urged to accept it as his very own and to go into the field and clean up the dem ocratic machine.
 In the meantime much significance is attached to the fact that Charles P. Taft Is absent from the city, and there are those who believe that he is away on d mission which has for It's purpose the unfolding to President Roosevelt of the beauties of the Longworth mayoralty proposition.
 Much depends upon the tip which is ex- pected from the President. If he says 'cut loose." as he did to Burton in Cleve- land. local republicans believe that Long worth will jump into the fight.

NOT GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL

Ensley, September -(Special.)- There is much dissatisfaction among the resident property holders on Ave nue E at the action of the city coun- ell in refusing their petition to extend the paving of Avenue E from Twenty second street to Thirtieth street. One of them, a prominent business man, said: "The city council certainly gave us cold deal last night in turning down our petition, showing more con- sideration to the nonresident, unim- proved property holders than to the citizens of Ensley who have bought, built and live on heir own prop erty. We were informed by several members of the council, who voted against us, by the way that if we got q majority of the property holders the improvement would go through and notwithstanding the fact we had d good majority our petition was turned down. There was no logical or even reasonable argument advanced against us, the only argument being that the town was torn up with the present improvements and so on. We did not contemplate beginning the im- provement next Monday, next week, or next month, for the ordinance would have to be drafted passed by the council. bids advertised and the con- tract let, and other details gone into and had the council taken favora ble action last night, the present improve ments would be completed long be- fore the new work could possibly com mence. Then the proposition has to be financed said an alderman. By whom? Not the city council certainly, as those who signed the petition stand ready at any time to pay their assessment in advance; as stroke of high finance the action of the council last night was the limit, refusing the citizens of Avenue F the right to pave the street and pay for it. Of course there were some conscientious objections from owners of property along the proposed Improvements, a very few of whom live in Ensley. An investiga- tion will show they bought their prop erty at very low figure, but ask one of them to sell and they will name a figure that would stagger the most hardened real estate agent in Ensley. Now what has caused this advance in prices in this locality? The fact that the petitioners to the council have built handsome residences, every one of which has contributed to the en- hanced value of the adjoining proper ty, and yet these residents who toll not, neither do they spin are given the preference to the wishes of as representative a body of citizens as ever appeared before any legisla- tive body; why did the council do this?"

Dun & Co.'S Review.

New York. September 2O.-R. G. Dun x Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Distribution of fall merchandise at re- tail increased steadily except in some section where the weather has been un- favorable. Jobbers are still following large consignments of dry goods and kindred lines, and reports from the in- terior indicate confidence in well sus- taned business during the autumn and winter Some interruption was caused by the religious observance, and there are still complaints of caution at eastern cities regarding future operations, on ac- count of the financial situation, but on the whole mercantile collection are more prompt.
 Manufacturers have orders on hand as surfing active machinery for some months, even in the industries where conser- vatism is notabIs feature, while each week puts a vast quantity of agrieul- tural products beyond the reach of carly frost, which is now regarded as the only serious menace to the great farm staples.
 Producers of pig iron appears to have reached a basis upon which business can be transacted, and increased inquiries have checked the downward tendency Of quotations.
 Textile plants are still busy, with the exception of some curtailment in woolens and cotton mills make better returns than any other large industry as to the amount of business on hand. Primary markets were somewhat disturbed by the extensive decline in the price of raw cot ton. new orders decreasing as prospective purchasers endeaYored to secure conces- sions in prices of goods commensurate with the change in cost of material. Financial stringency is also felt, but not to such a degree as before the present period.

LEAVES HOSPITAL BY
 FIRE ESCAPE ROUTE
Wounded Negro is Chased By
 Mounted Policeman
POLICEMAN'S HORSE FALLS
Officer Is Badly Hurt, and Meanwhile the Negro Whom Joe Nix Shot Tuesday Night Is
 at Large.

Already shot in the leg and lying in a hospital after a desperate struggle with q policeman, the hero of a 10-cent novel. Will Flemming, colored, slid down the fire escape last night, outran d police man on horseback and was at last tragic ally saved from the bullets of that officer by the horse stumbling on a rock and fiinging the rider to injury over it's head.
 This, however, was a realistic experi- ence, and no doubt the colored hero is having his wound tenderly dressed some where by d buxom, wigged friend.
 Will Flemming is the negro who Officer Joe Nix shot Tuesday night after des- perate encounter The negro dismount ed from a South Ensley car at Fourteenth street and threatened to shoot the motor man. Nix rushed at him with his gun, the negro snatched at t and diverted the bullet to his leg. A crowd battered the wild fellow in the head with rocks, while he and the officer were struggling on the ground
 Finally he was conquered and carried to the Hillman hospital He stayed there until last night at o'clock Then he left.
  which is on the top floor, when the negro left his cot, scrambled out of the window with only his night clothes on, scrambled down the fire escape and away. His fellow patients immediately notified the nurse, who called police headquarters and two mounted policemen immediately started in pursuit.
 At Twentieth street Policeman Parker spied his white phantom limping along and immediately gave chase. ready to shoot as soon as he came within distance. After very exciting race through al- leys, the policeman's horse stumbled, and he was thrown over the animals head on his face.
 MT. Parkers face was badly lacerated and his leg was seriously injured. He was picked up and hurried to police head quarters in a cab, a doctor dressed his wounds and Lieutenant Hagood sent him home. While the wounds are not dangerous they will be very painful.
 Meanwhile, the negro is gone.

COTTON FABRICS DECLINE

New York. September 20-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Whether attributable to the improve ment in the financial situation or because of favorable weather, allowing additional crop development, there is a perceptiby better feeling in commercial lines. Re tail trade was hardly brisk as desired because the warm weather while helping crops has not stimulated fall buying. Reports as to iobbing trade in the main are favorable, though the andertone of l conservatism is still perceptible.
 Easier money conditions are reported to have stimulated buying of raw wool and a number of lines of cotton dress fabrics for next spring have been opened , at advances On the other hand, the re cent drop of 14c in cotton consequent oa the enlarged movement of the new crop, has made for further ease in cotton yarns, and there are reports of lower prices for mems woolen wear for spring Collections as a whole are better. but there are reports from some markets of more numerous requests for renewals and some large manufacturing enterprises with profitable contracts on hand have sought and received assistance to tide them over the light money period. The feeling in iron is better but the quota tions are no firemr in some lines and markets are low Still further reduced quotations for copper have evoked only 8 small amount of buying and lead is also lower with restriction on the output Of both metals in progress

COAST WELL GUARDED.
Gen. Fred Grant Says New Workers
 Need Not Fear.

New York, September 20.-Even if the navy should be engaged elsewhere New Workers need have no fear of their homes in case of an attack by war ships of a hostile coutnry, according to Maj. Gen. Frederick D. Grant commanding the De- partment of the East. While General Grant declines to make any comparisons between the work of the navy and army gunners in the forts, he did say this:
 "I am convinced that the gunners in my department can shoot well that they can put warships out of action fully as fast as they can come up against them."
 Considerable discussion has been engen- dered between army and navy men over the quality of craftsmanship displayed in each branch of the service. General Grant said he was glad the navy gum ners were such good marl>smen, but army craftsmanship had always been one of his hobbies.
