At a Celebration of the Iowa State hood Centennial, a Serious interrup tion Occurred Vice President Bte Yenson Pell in the Mass Ex-Govern or Sherman Hurt Eurlineton. Iowa. -Oct. 1. The semi centennial celebration of Iowa's state i hood opened to-day in a blase of glory. The parade was the grandest ever seen here and was witnessed ty z&.uw peo ple. Governor Drake and -Vice Presi dent Stevenson rode near the bead of the column, followed by the Governor's staff. A full battalion of the Iowa Na tional Guard headed the column. Floats representing the progress of Iowa from 1846 to 1S9 were in line. ATter tne pa rade had formed for the opening of the semi-centennial festivities and had cov ered about half of the line of march. Governor Drake and staff and Vice President Stevenson and all of the State and local officials were conducted to a reviewing stand. Scarcely were i they seated when the stand gave way with a crash and the entire structure went to the ground, a mass of broken timbers. Women fainted and great con fusion at once reigned. Governor Drake and Vice President Stevenson were on the frtfrft tier of seats and were thrown backward upon the others and escaped fatal injury but nevertheless were bad ly shaken up and considerably bruised. Ex-Governor Sherman, of Iowa, was in the rear of the stand and fell at the very bottom of the mass. He was found with a heavy timber across his legs and a plank resting on his neck and back. He is badly hurt. Major Wyman, of Ottumwa, Iowa, is Injured in the spine and is paralyzed, how badly he Is hurt will not be known for some time. E. S. Burrows, treasurer of Des Moines, Iowa, may die, both of his legs being broken. Lafayette Toung, editor of the Iowa Capital, was badly cut and bruised about the head. City Clerk Fred Poor was bruised and cut. Miss Mary Lord Drake, the Governor's daughter, was slightly bruised. All of the staff officers suffered more or less. Governor Drake recovered from his shaking up and bruises sufficiently to deliver a short address this afternoon. Ex-Governor Sherman, owing to his aere. mav be seriously nurt, aitnougn he claims to be only badly bruised and shaken up. Secretary of State McFar- land is injured badly. Senator Kent, or Lee county, got his head cut. Col. H. O. Weaver, of Wapello, Iowa, sprained his ankle. Vice President Stevenson's left leg- is bruised and his left knee slightly sprained. Mayor Nauman was caught under the pile or boards and was held with one foot between two planks for half an hour before he was rescued. A score or more were nursing bruised heads and shins to-night. This afternoon State Commissioner P. W. Grape opened the exercises at the coliseum before a vast crowd. He was ! follow ed by Governor Drake, who spoke for 45 minutes despite his accident of this morninp. Vice President Steven son spoke at a banquet given in honor night. TAKE BOTH OFF THE TICKET. Thp latest nrooosition is for both Sewall and Watson to come down. It is made bv the Philadelphia American of Thursday in an edtorial headed, "Sew- all or Watson which; or neither." The American calls on both gentle men tn the interest of the election of Bryan to withdraw in order that Chair man Jones may name a candidate who would be acceptable to ail Interests. The editorial says: 'Bryan is acceptable to all. But Sew- ull Is not. Neither is Watson, vs e im nufim neither the Americanism of Sew- all nor of Watson, but neither Is recog nized bv all parties as the man for the crisis. Sewall Is not acceptable to the Populists. "The Democrats will not take Mr. Watson. What then are we to do? The answer: Call them both down, .fut up a candidate acceptable to all Ameri cans, such a canaioate can certainly be found. Who that man Is it is not for ns to say. It is not for Democrats or Populists or bi-metallic Republicans. The man for the place must not be the candidate of any party, but he must be the candidates af all." LINCOLN AND JUDGE DAVIS Philadelphia Record. Lincoln's love of story-telling was so rreat that he would frequently indulse in it when it broueht him mild rebuke. When not busy during the sessions of the court he was habitually whispering tories to his neighbors, frequently to the annovance of Judere Davis, who nresided over the eighth circuit. If Lincoln persisted too Ions:, the judge would rap on his dfsk and exclaim: Come, come. Mr. Lincoln. I can t stand this! There is no use of trying to carry on two courts at the same time. T must adjourn mine or yours, and I think yours will have to be the one.' However, as soon as the emup had cattered. the judge would call one of the min to him and ask. "What was that Lincoln was telling?" THE FUSION RITCUS IN INDIANA. Indianapolis. Tnd., Oct. 2. Mandamus ooit will be begun at once by Charles X Matthews.

If political causes are not obvious, In number per cent, less than in the panic quarter of 1893. failures for the quarter show liabilities of 11.1 per cent, less, amount ing to S73.285.649. against S97.809.e92 m the previous half year. The continued advance in wheat proves of the utmost imnortance. It has been 12.1 cents tor the week, and 10 cents since September 2nd. ana is mainly ttue to- snort crops abroad and good demand. Cotton has weakened after its sudden rise because the demand for goods has relapsed into hand-to-mouth buying, and print cloths are lower at-2.5 per cent. Some Injury has been done by recent storms, but the market seems not now in the humor to magnify them. There Is reviving interest in the stocK market, which has slowly risen an average of 79 cents per share forrail ways, though they are weaker. While east-bound tonnase is larere from Chi cago, in September 241.908. against 241, 154 last year, the westward movement of merchandise is small and rates are cut, so that earnings reported for Sep tember fall 3 per cent, below last year's and 8.S per cent, below those of 1892. There are unmistakably encouraging signs in the great Industries although the actual gains in working force em ployed or in new orders received are slight. But the strong demand for ma terial, for pis iron, hides and wool, as for cotton, does not diminish, and has already gone far enough to stiffen prices. In wool quotations are stronger, but represent actual sales more nearly than In past weeks, when buyers with cash almost made their Own prices. Buying of Bessemer pig again lifts. Pittsburg quotations to $11.75 without any general gain in the demand for fixed products, and steel bars for the first time are sold at 1 cent against 1.2 cent asked by the association for iron bars. Plates and rails are in less de mand, but there is heavy buying of sheets at the West. The movement westward of money continues, and for the quarter has exceeded interior re ceipts by $31,000,000. The gold ordered for importation amounts to $43,250,000 and arrivals thus far to $40,544,550. be sides $2.O0.OOO expected from Austra lia, which will raise the Treasury re serve about $130,000,000. The quarter that has passed has been most trying. but thinps would be worse than- they are but for the general belief that bet ter times fire near. CITIES ON RIVER BANKS. Mr. A. W. Haywood Suggests a Reason Why There Are No Large Ones on East Banks. To the Editor of the Observe;-: The onclosed newspaper slip is fr. in your paper. In answer to h ques tion, "Why are there no hie cities on the east bank of a river?" I susrir-'t the following answer: Becruise the prevailing breezes in the season of the year when malaria is most preva lent are from the Oulf of Mexico herce the east bank is more unhealthy than the west bank. Thfs breeze com ing from the southwest would blow the malaria from the city on the wwt bank fnd into one on the enst bank. The earlier settlers found ty exo-'rii'nce that the west bank was th healthiest and located on that side, but lid not know the reason why it was the health iest. In some cases they are built on the east bank (Wilmington. N. Cr Montgomery, Ala.; New Orleans. La.) but in these cases It was probably be cause the west bank was swampy or there were hills on the east bank. As a general rule cities are built on the west bank, and I suggest it is because of the reason I have given. In haste, yours trulv. A. W. HATWOOD. Haw River. N C. Oct. 1. 1896. TThe slip referred to above was from the New Tork Sun, containing- the in teresting speculation of Jeff. Chandler and Powell Clayton, in New Tork one day. asto why there were no great cities on the east bank of a river. Mr. Hay wood's idea is a pood one. But it ap plies to North America. How about other countries? Observer. A BIT OF CURRENT HISTORY. Gastonia Gazette. For a week somebody having the freedom of the Raleigh News and Ob server's editorial columns has .been waging war upon the Charlotte Obscr ver. The latter paper, unon public f n novneement that the trad-? for electoral fus'on had been completed, prompt Iv declared its purpose to support th Pryan and Rewall part of the tickt trd to scratch o thf Tom "Ws " Populist lay-out. Hereupon the Raleigh raner's writer led off at the Observer with a lot of stuff under an interroea five cantion which tinw!'iv taunted the Charlotte paper with bolting. Then was beheld the spectacle of a napr bragging and exulting over "electoral fusion." a trade by which Democrats were called upon to vote for Tom Wat son, taunting a straight Democratic pa per with bolting. Incident to this controversy, not im mediately incident, it is true, but ger mane, nevertheless, two paragraphs have appeared which serve to indicate the esteem in which each paper holds the other and to show how even honors are. Says the Charlotte Observer, referring to Senator Butler s strictures upon its course: "A candid friend once told us that the severest reproof that he had ever gotten on account of his personal hab its was from a woman who Tas th' nronertv of the town. To bo charged with double-dealing in politico 'jy this political trader and huckster in office.' is to be compared with nothing except the ipcldent above referred to. unless it is being read out of the Democratic narty by Dr. Mott.

The situation at the stock exchange to-day showed very little change. The volume of business Increased moderately, but the move ments in' the leading shares, as has been the case for several days past, were most erratic. At the start prices ere fractionally higher all around. chiefly because of the receipt of higher quotations from London and the exe cution of moderate buying orders fc-r foreign account. As the day advanced the bears displayed more courage and resisted the -efforts of their opponents to lift prices. St. Paul was a pivotal stock. It opened per cent, higher at 72 and promptly went back to 72, but at this figure a sharp contest de veloped, and despite free sales for both accounts, the stock held stuDDorniy. Finally the pressure to sell carried it down to 714. Sugar was another stock that displayed strength m tne eariy trading, risine 56 to 111. but in this case also the buyers were filled up and rapid decline to llur& ensuea. une continued selling is attributable to the unfavorable condition of the sugar trade. 1ni nartlv to the offerings of German Busrar in this market. The f closing of Spreckels'. refinery also had an adverse Influence. The decline in St. Paul and Sugar was followed by a reaction in the general list of to 1 per cent., while Leather, preferred. broke i to 65V4 and rallied to 66. Manhattan was the strongest stock on the 11st and advanced 2 to 91, closing at 91.

Among the specialties Illinois Steel rose 1 to 45 and later declined to 44. Speculation closed eak in tone. Net changes showed de clines of 4 to 2 per cent.
