Trade Conditions.

Bradstreets weekly review Of the
trade conditions on Saturday says:
Liberal receipts Of gold from abroad
and q large increase in banknote cir
culatIon tend to relieve the financial
stress at New York. but the interior
is now feeling the scarcity of currency.
and commerce Is retarded to some
extent. Dispatches from lending
cities indicate conservatism In pre-
paration for future business and IRE
gularity In collections, with most
favorable news from agricultural Soc
lions In which the crops are being
marketed as freely as the supply Of
money will permit. Return to normal
conditions will be hastened by large
exports of farm products, supplying
credits abroad. upon which the much
needed gold may be imported. Pri-
mary markets for cotton goods are
quiet, although the mills are
still.well occupied filling old contracts.
Reports of the closing of the wooden
mills should not be given ndue signif-
canoe, more or less idle mach inery be-
ing customary at this time Of the year
and no additional new business is to
be expected until clothiers begin to
send duplicate orders.

Meeting Ends In FIQht.

Lexington, June "a publ,
speaking on the question of spec
ial school tax at Piney Academy
in Boone township, last night en-
ded in a sensational fight be
tween H. Clay Grub, the dis
tiller of Boone, and the principa
speaker of the occasion, Mr.. R
D. w. Connor, Jr., of Raleigh.
The following is a partial bill Of
particulars as reported by one Of
those present.
In the middle of his speech,
Mr.. Connor was interrupted by
Mr.. Grub calling him a liar,
prefacing this short ugly word
with the usual adjectives of con.
domination. Mr.. Connor was
game. Without any prelimin.
aries, he left the speakers stand
and made for Grub, shedding
his coat as he went. He met
Grub half way, landing a heavy
blow full in Grubb's face. Then
the speaker and his interrupter
clinched. For two minutes or
more a fierce fight isued on the
floor. First one party seemed to
have the advantage, then the
god of battles favored the other
side. Grub got Connor's finger
in his mouth and bit a hole in
same. Connor beat Grub with
his fists. 'Grubb's friends pre-
vented any interference with the
combatants. Finally, through
sheer exhaustion more than any
thing else, the two men separa-
ted, with honors about even.
Then Mr.. Garnor discovered
his bloody finger. He seized an
umbrella lfrom the corner and
with all his might let Grub have
it again in the face. 1t is not
known exactlywhat occurred next,
but the meeting was adjourned
sine die and Messrs. Hawkins
and Conner returned TO Lexing-
ton, from which place Mr.. Con-
nor left for Raleigh this morn

every reason to hope. So said Bassett
In breath and was gone next minute.
II was the last piece OF news that
heartened Tom most. the news that the
noble unknown believed In him still,
against judge and jury. and was still
heroically striving to save bis mlser-
able life. Who could he be? Some
friend Of Claire's? The thought came
for the first time. 1t never came again.
Claire was with the Judge. the Jury
and the world. She had not written
him one word.
Tom was row In prison dress. a
gaunt, dread figure. but they had let
him keep a slip OF paper that he had
often taken out OF pocket in bis own

He produced II now. 1t was the slip
Of paper Daintree had handed down to
him during the proceedings at Maryle-
