NO EVIDENCE
OF PANIC HERE
ENORMOUS BUSINESS TRANSACT
Ed BY THE MERCHANTS ON
MONDAY.
MONEY SEEMED TO Be PLENTIFUL
Not a Single Arrest Was Made During
the Day, Despite the Enor-
nous Crowd.

Not sin business depression
began neal.y year ago has there
been a day in Columbia where the
volume of business transacted. COM
pares with that of Monday. Mer-
chants. bankers, restaurant keepers
and stock men all testify TO the SPLEEN
did business that was transacted in
the city on First Monday; they all de-
clared that it reminded them most
forcibly of the good old days before
there was any suggestion of financial
depression and when. prosperity was
at it's zenith.
The crowd here Monday was the
largest that has been in Columbia for
business purposes purely in long
time. While there were not as many
people here as there were on the day
that Carmack and Patterson spoke,
the crowd Monday came to transact
business; they bought and sold and
they paid their bills. Almost every
line of business in the city was profit
ed by the crowd here. Several of the
merchants report that their collec-'
lions were better than for any one
day during the year and a number of
others declare that they sold more
goods than ON any previous day, bar.
ring specially advertised reduction
sales.
Especially profitable to the lunch
houses and the restaurants was the
business of Monday. Some of the
lunch stands had made, as was
thought, special preparation for the
day, but everything in sight was eat
en- up before anything like all the
people had been fed and still the
crowds came One restaurant on the
public square sold out threee times.
The eating houses in the vicinity of
the stock yards also did land office
business.
Despite the unusually yarge crowd
in the city and the apparent album /
dance of money there was not sin |
gle arrest made during the day by the
police One member of the force stat
ed that he did not observe but two
men who he thought even had drink |
and they were behaving themselves.
With business rivaling that of the
best First Mondays before the sa-
looms were eliminated and not a sin
gle arrest for drunkenness the day !
constitutes a magnificent argument
or saloonless city.

LUNCHES WITH MURPHY l.
Mayor Meets Boss Second Time Tins
Yem-Peace2

Mayor Mcclellan and Charles F. Murphy. the
Tammany leader. lunched together yesterday
between 1 and o'clock at the Hardware Club,
opposite City Hall Park. This is the second
meeting this year. The other time the Mayor
was accompanied by William F Sheehan. and
Mr.. Murphy by Daniel F. Cohalan.
Among Tammany men the conference yester-
day is interpreted as meaning that the Mayor
and Mr.. Murphy have not abandoned the peace
pact made three months ago Whether the talk
yesterday involved Senator McCarren is mat
ter of conjecture. Probably it did II is known
that the Mayor is disgusted at the record made
by the state convention. and he also is utterly
opposed to having William J. Conners continued
as state chairman There is a strong feeling of
opposition in the Tammany organization to
Conners as the head of the state organization
and it is worse now than it was before the state
convention.
Senator McCarren is depending the Mayor
to be neutral between him and Murphy He
is confident of beating his opponents at the pri-
maries next September if the Mayor will keep
hands off. Mr.. Murphy. it is said contends that
the Mayor should stand with the Tammany or
ganization in everything. including Tammanys
opposition to McCarren.
