IS GIVEN VERDICT FOR $500 DAMAGES VentreSs Sues Street Railway for $l5,000 THE COURT IS ADJOURNED Judge Inzer Clears the Docket In Etc. wah Circuit, Court and Leaves
 for His Home at
 AshVilIe.
THE COURT IS ADJOURNED

Gadsden, October 6.-(Special )-After having been out but a few minutes the jury in the case of ventress vs. the Ala bama City, Gadsden and Attalla Railway company yesterday awarded the plaintiff $500 damages for personal injuries.
 Ventress sued the railroad company for S5,O00. He was q passenger, and the company claimed he had not paid his fare and was standing on the rear platform al the time the injuries were sustained. Judge Inzer instructed the jury that, all though MT. Ventress had not paid his fare when the accident occurred, he was a passenger just the same. and according to the law the company should have used every precauton to protect him from dan ger That the road had failed to do this was shown by the fact that the car had not been stopped within 100 feet of the steam railroad crossing as required by law.
 This morning Judge Inzer adjourned the fall term of the Eeowah circuit court and left for his home in Ashville. This is the first term Judge Inzer has presided here, and he has made a very favorable impression. All the cases on the docket have been cleared off, and there will be no more business in this court until the next term.
 The prohibition meeting that was held here today had the largest attendance of any gathering ever held in Etowah ccun- ty, the attendance being nearly twice sas large as the rally that was held here two weeks ago. pr. Upshaw, who addressed the assembly, made an eloquent appeal for his cause and was interesting at all times. The ladies of the city served a delightful lunch to the prohibitionists in the park at the rear of the court house.

A new tasteless and odorless discovery which can be given secretly by any lady in tea, coffee or food. Heartily endorsed by temperance workers. It does it's work so silently and surely that while the de- voted wife, sister or daughter looks on. the drunkard is reclaimed even against his will and without his knowledge. Many have been cured in a single day.

ORE TIED UP IN TRANSIT.
Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars
Worth of Nevada Production
So Held.

: GOLDFIELD, Nov. 5.-Charles
Snyder, president of the Western Ore
Purchasing company, is in camp for
the purpose of trying to get ore from
the sampler, as well as from the
mines, on a more rapid movement.
He says that his company has been
forced to restrict the acceptance of
ore because all the available space
where it can be stored is filled, and
that it is not all due to the smelter
trust, either. He said last night:
lowing to the immense volume of
business that has poured into Nevada
in the past year or two the trans
portation facilities have not been suf-
ficient to take care of the business.
This condition of affairs exists in
other states, too, and as result 1t
is almost impossible to get our ores
to market. We have had cars of ore
in transit for the past three months,
and that ore has been paid for. AT
a rough guess, l should say that our
company has at least $750,000 worth
of ore in transit or at the smelters,
and we are making an effort to get
the cars that have been sidetracked,
to their point of destination. To do
this it was necessary for the company
to employ eight men, who have been
stationed at the different railway di-
visions to look after cars loaded with
our ore, and they will be pushed
through with all possible speed. We
ought to be getting steady returns
from shipments already out. and then
we will be prepared to accept ores
as they are offered. 1t is an unusual
condition of affairs, and am not pre-

TERDAY.
CHECKS MADE ON AC-
COUNTS WERE COMPAR-
ATIvELY LIGHT, DEPOS-
IT'S EXCEEDING THE
AMOUNT OF THESE.

Resumption of business by the
banks of Ely yesterday morning was
attended with results which officials
of the Bank of Ely and the First Ma
tional bank said last evening were
more than pleasing.
Checks we're made by depositors
on accounts in the banks IN very
small number, particularly so in view
of the fact that they had been cut
off from access to their funds for
a week
Deposits, on the other hand, came
in in large number. The two banks
received from depositOrs a large
amount of currency, deposits rang
ing from $50 up into the thousands
Among those who came in with cash
and passed it over the counters were
not few new depositors. Ever,
thing in the situation tended to give
proof of the truth of the assertions
of absolute confidence in the strength
of the banks which have been heard
on the streets constantly.

NEW YORK, Nov. BIT is under

which prevailed today because of
election was utilized to excellent ad-
vantage, the breathing spell enab-
ling the adjustment of several i'm
portant matters. 1t is confidently be-
lieved the market will open tomor-
row in better shape than in some
weeks.
Gold engagements since the begin
ming of the present movement now
amount to $32, 2,000.0 900. which would
more than bridge the loss in surplus
reserve last week.
The disturbances which are sweep
ing over the exchange market and
arousing concern in foreign markets
were indicated yesterday by rise of
foreign exchange in New York con-
siderably above the point at which
gold could profitably be imported.
The fact that it is still coming this
way indicates the determination of
New York bankers to strengthen their
position even at loss. Inc high
rate for bills was caused by the de-
mand for exchange to cover the ar
rivals of gold.

rency to get notes into circulation
are meeting with considerable Sue
cess. The department is daily send
ing out large shipments of national
bank currency and the aggregate

ernment bonds now pledged to secure
public deposits and their re-deposit to
secure circulation. The plan suggest
ed for the increase of circulation is,
according to the officials, working ad-
mirably. The president is consulting
with members of his cabinet respect
ing currency legislation to be recon-
mended to congress
| 1t may be stated that none of the
multitude of currency bill projects
appear more promising to the presi-
dent and his constitutional advisers
or more likely to secure the approval
of congress, than the measure re-
| ferred to by the president in his last
message. That is the plan commonly
ascribed to Secretary Shaw and ap-
proved by many bankers and business
men. The presidents description oi
the measure was as follows:
According to this plan,' nationa
banks should be permitted to issue 8
specified proportion of their capita
in notes of given kind, the. issue tt
be taxed at as high a rate as neces
sary to drive the notes back wher
not wanted in legitimate trade. Thi.
plan would not permit the issue O.
currency to government hanks as ad
ditional profits, but to meet the
emergency presented in times o
lstringency."

General Manager Pope Yeatman
arrived at McGill Monday night and
has since been giving attention to
matters at the smelter and concen-'

today visit the mines.
Mr.. Yeatman has been too busy to
this time with detail matters and
general affairs requiring his atten-
tin to make any expression for pub
lication. 1t is known, however, that
he is much pleased with progress
that has been made at McGill.
Report was current in the city yes
terday that 400 men had ben laid off
at the smelter upon the return of
Mr.. Yeatman. This report was abso-
lutely without foundation. 1t is stat
ed on good authority that his visit
will bring no decrease in operating
forces. If anything. it Is very much
more likely to occasion increases.
About thirty men were laid on at
the smelter the first of the week
These we're employed on work which
has been completed and their SER
vices dispensed with simply because
there was no further need of them.
Yesterday number of men employed
at McGill came to the city with pay
checks which they drew on or depos-

returned to the smelter during the
day.

FALLING OFF IN CORPORATIONS
Decline in Capitalization In Month Of
October very Marked.

NEW YOR.>, Nov. 5.-According
to the Journal of Commerce new
charters filed in the eastern states in
October for capitalization of corpora
tions with an individual capital. of
81 100000 or more represented to-
tai capitalization of $79,1O0. 900,
which compares with SIG ,000,000 in
September and $13S.55O.000 in Oc-
tober of last year. The grand ~ II
of all companies Incorporated in Oc-
tober with capitalization of $780,
900 and over including other states
than those of the east was $132, ,425,-
900 against $113.660.000 in Septem-
ber and 1870 $4,000 in October a
year ago.
Conditions generally in October
this year initiated to greater ex-
tent than in any previous month of
1907 against the promotion of new
enterprises of any sort. 1t is not sur
prising therefore that the aggregate
incorporation. should fall so largely
below those of last year.

afternoon in the private Offices of
Mr.. Clafiin. 1t is stated on the author
ity of men prominent in the whole
sale dry goods district that John
Wanamaker has received strong
backing from merchants acting un-
der the leadership of A. d. Julliard,
of A. d. Julliard & Co. His confer
ence with John Clafiin is open, 1t is
said, to only two constructions. The
one that is generally believed to be
correct is that the Wanamaker inter-
ests in New York and Philadelphia
are to be taken over by the Associat-
ed Merchants company. The other
purpose that could have inspired the
conference. it is declared, would be
to get an extension of credit.
In the trade it is stated that the
large financial resources at the dis
posal of John Claflin, as president of
the Associated Merchants company
would admit of the handling of such
"a gigantic mercantile transaction as
the taking over of the John Wana-
maker concerns. The recent capi-
talization of the New York and Phil
adelphia companies at $500, 900
each makes the undertaking a $15,-
900, 900 deal. This represents nearly
as much as all the other concerns are
appraised, as the Associated Mer-
chants company is now constituted.
