THE DRUMMER EVANGELIST. ,
Big Work and Bis Pay at South. Boston,
;' Virginia. r
A. telegram to the Richmond Dispatch
gives the following particulars of the
recent work of Evangelist Fife at South
Boston, Virginia: - ,
South Boston is throbbing With reli
gious fervor, and Evangel ist Fife has
aroused this place to a point of Christian
enthusiasm such as it has never before
enjoyed. Yesterday's special trains
brought crowds to hear Mr. Fife, and
the town was overrun with men, women
and children, all seeming to think of
nothing but the salvation of soulsjf
SALOONS .CLOSED.
Two saloons have been voluntarily
closed by the proprietors, who have
been converted during the meeting.
CONVERTED.
Three hundred people have professed
conversion and the rejoicing of relatives
and friends are to be seen'and heard on
the streets all through the day. The state
ct leeung here is indeed remarkable. It
is novel and new to South Boston, but
is none the less happf in its effects and
influences.
The sum of $1,700 has been collected
and presented to Mr. Fife, and yet the
people are not satisfied and say this sum
does not begin to pay the evangelist for
his great work.
Mr. Fife left tms evening for his home
in North Carolina to rest until next Sun
day, when he begins a meeting in Dan
ville. A Pair of Thieves.
Victoria Knight and Maria sPittman,
colored women, were brought before
Justice R. H. Bunting yesterday morn

articles, such as table cloths, napkins
and crockery ware from The OrtonMr.
J. E. Montague, the proprietor, suspect
ed these two women, and on Tuesday
employed detective Hunt to "hunt 'em
up," which he did. A search warrant
was served and some of the stolen
goods were found in their house. The
cas- being set for yesterday .afternoon,
The State witnesses were examined but
the defendants waived an examination.
They were required to give bond for
their appearance at the Criminal Court
and failing to furnish bail were sent to
jail. Mr. Marsden Bellamy appeared as
counsel for Maria Pittmanand Mr. John
D. Bellamy, Jr., for Victoria Knight.
A STOWAWAY
Trying to Steal Himself Into This Coun
try is Stowed Away in Jail.
The British steamer Bramham, Capt.
H. Lawson, sailed from West Hartlepool
for this port, and after being out two
days, a stowaway, Thos. Wales, was dis
covered aboard. So soon as she-
arrived here the Custom House
authorities were notified that Wales, the
stowaway, was neither a passenger nor
one of the crew, and they required of
tjie Captain a bond of $1,000 for his re
turn, which was given.
Upon complaint of the Captain, Uni
ted States Commissioner R. H. Bunting
issued a warrant for the stowaway yes
terday, and he was arrested and brought
before the Commissioner. Upon the
admission of Wales that he was a pan
per and was thus stealing himself into
the country, he was stowed away,in jail
until the departure of the vessel.
The Oyster Market.
The condition of the Baltimore oyster
market is of some importance in the
bivalve vineyard. Monday, in that city,
the receipts were about 45,000 -bushels,
most of which were brought in small
schooners and bugeyes from the vicinity
of Smith's Point, on the Potomac. The
first cargo of dredged oysters this sea
son arrived that morning. The cargo
was brought up on the schooner Robert
L. Rogers, Capt. Evans, and numbered
507 bushels. The oysters were not very
large, but of good flavor, and were sold
at eighty cents per bushel. Later in
the day the schooner William Somers
arrived with 800 bushels of dredged
oysters. These, too. were readily sold
at eighty cents. The prices about the
wharves were: For "scrapes, 50c. to
$1.15, according to size; Herring Bay
catch, $1.00; Chester river, $1-15; Kent
Island, 85c, and for a few steaming
stock which were brought up, 40c.- was
patd.

It is the finest periodical reading room

more of our people do.not avail them
selves of the inestimable opportunities
it affords to put good reading matter in

at so little cost-only .$2.00 per house
hold per year for the u5e of the reading
room, which is open day and night.

COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES.
Net receipts of cotton at ail the U.
S. ports yesterday were 43,143 bales.' '; .
Cotton receipts at New Orleans are
about ao.000 bales ahead of last year.-;
' The killing irosts reported m all
parts of theotton belt have apparently
not had much effect on the market.
Receipts of cotton at this port yes
terday were 1,298 bales; against 1,553
bales the corresponding day last year.
Middling cotton was quoted on the
Wilmington - market yesterday quiet at
7j3c per pound; quotations same date
last season, 9 c.
Futures closed steady in New York
yesterday with sales of 189,500 bales;
October, 8.058.12; November 8.18
8.19; January 8.538.54.
Maxton Union: The heavy rains
and cool weather of lasjt week and the'
week before damaged cotton considera
bly. It is now estimated that the yield
will be one-third less than was calcula
ted on a month ago. Surely the present
ow price cannot continue much longer.
A letter received at the Star of
fice from Messrs. H. P. Hubbard & Co.,
and dated Oct. 10th, states that they
have received six thousand replies to
their "guess" circular, and the average
of four thousand of these guesses is
7.544,221. In their circular of same
date they say:
The movement continues in excess ot
all precedent, and is for the present the
controlling influence. Until it lets, up
the weakness of the Southern spot mar
kets is likely to effect a further decline
here, which would no d6ubt be sharper
were it not that the demand from the
public for futures at prices which look
attractively cheap continues to absorb
a very large quantity of the cotton sold
here.
This demand is more general than we
nave ever known it, originating in a
arge measure with that portion of the
Southern cotton trade generally distin
guished for its conservatism and careful
observation. This would seem to be
the most conclusive evidence of the
theory so often advanced, that the pres
ent receipts are no criterion of the
crop, unless indeed they are corrobora
tive of small crop estimates.
Savannah News : , The continued
heavy cotton receipts would appear to
prohibit any increase in the price of the
staple. The receipts at nearly all the
other ports, as well as Savannah, have
been very heavy for the past two weeks.
Yet from the unanimity of the crop re
ports as to the heavy damage by the un
favorable fall weather seems to preclude
the possibility of another such large
crop as last year's and to justify the gen
eral estimate of a 7,500.000 bale crop.
The explanation generally given by the
cotton men, and doubtless the true one,
is that the farmers who held their cotton
last year when they should have sold
and thereby lost millions of dollars,
were so badly burned that they will not
consider the question of holding back
on any condition. They are rushing
their cotton to market regardless of
price. That the crop is being rapidly
marketed is evident. From many
points the reports state that the
crop is already nearly all harvested
and will , soon be all marketed. A
gentleman who arrived from Bulloch
county last night said that the cotton
there had been nearly all picked, and
that the farmers seemed determined to
rush it to market as fast as possible.
He said that the cotton was piled up
around the railroad stations awaiting
shipment, and that in many instances
the agents refused to receipt lor cotton
on account of its unprotected condition.
If the farmers would -only hold their
cotton now, with the prospects for
short crop ahead, they might be able to
get a cent a pound more tor it in Janua
ry or February.

Charleston News and Courier: The
announcement that the railroad comrais-i
sioners had decided to maintain the
present reduced tariff ' on cotton was by
no means welcome news to the railroad
Officials. They had hoped that the com
missioners would recede from their orig
inal position and not insist upon main
taining the rates which went into effect
on the 20th of September. The railroad
people think that the new cotton rates
are without any reason and absolutely
unfair to the railroads. They have not
yet receiyed official notification of the
intention of the commissioners and will
not take any action until definitely ad
vised. Should the commission insist
upon maintaining the rates no w in effect
it is very probable that they will seek
redress in the Courts. The Richmond
& Danville, Atlantic Coast Line and
South Carolina Railway counsel have
the matter- under consideration. Very
much will depend upon the decision of
the Richmond & Danville people. The
Port Royal and Western Carolina divis
ion of the Richmond & Danville system
will be the heaviest losers by the deter
mination of the commissioners to
enforce a rate 20 per cent, lower than
has ever existed in this State. The cot
ton case will Very probably be made a
test case, and will allow the Courts to
say to what extent the-commissioners
can go in increasing or lowering rates.
