(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Dec. 31.—Dun’s Review will
say on January 4: ,
Most marvellous of all the phenom
enal evidences of advancement in busi
ness during the year was the progress
made in manufacturing. It is impossi
ble to be too extravagant in delineating
the mqvements of the industrial world.
Never in the history of this or any other
nation has such development occurred
within this space of a twelve-month.
The expansion of productive capacity was
enormous, the improved methods of work
and organization were conspicuous, wise
economies were introduced, but more than
all other factors that made for perma
nent prosperity was the conservative re
sistance to price inflation.
IRON AND STEEL.—After the reaction
of 1900 the level of prices remained de
pressed for some months, hut gradually
responded to the increasing demand as
excessive accumulations were absorbed.
From a condition of glut there arose al
most a famine, greatly exaggerated by the
stubborn strike. Some idea of the changes
in size of supplies may be found in the
comparison of furnace stocks of pig iron
as published in the Iron Age. which
amounted to . r i45,663 tons on January 1.
The figures steadily dec lined throughout
the year until only 223,462 tons were held
on December 1.
Asjide from the slight fall during the
period affected by the stfike there ap
pears almost a steady gain in production,
closing with the maximum quantity on
record. Judging by the amount of busi
ness already placed for 1902, the current
year’s yield may not unreasonably be
expected to surpass seventeen million
tons. Output of rails was beyond all
records, yet contracts for 1902 already as
sure another high water mark of probably
three million tons.
COAL AND COKE.—AII records of out
put for hard and soft coal were surpassed
during 1901, despite the scarcity of cars
that retarded operations. A feature of
great advantage was the expanding ex
port movement, which reached more en
couraging proportions than in earlier
years. In ten months the value of ship
ments was $19,087,353, against $17,820,864
the year previous. Coke ovens made a
penomenal record, establishing a new
high water mark of weekly output at
244,529 tons late in November.
THE PRODUCE MARKETS.—WhiIe
I£oo was the best year ever experienced
by domestic agricultural interests, the
opening year of the new century was in
many ways more profitable, and the two
together have put the farming popula
tion in much the most satisfactory posi
tion in the nation’s history. Formerly
the season of harvesting and crop moving
brought heavy borrowing of funds at the
cast, but interior conditions have changed
to such an extent that western banks
are lenders at New York and Chicago,
and while there is still a large move
ment of money away from (he East dur
ing the fall months, it is of funds that
were held here for the account of interior
correspondents. There is a steady ten
dency to enlarge the acreage South in
the leading crops, yet supplies do not
increase, owing to the better demand
both for home consumption and export.
HcAt and drouth caused a serious cur
tailment of the corn crop, which proved
the most important event of the year.
While this influence naturally induced an
advance in price that practically prohibi
ted exports and thus seriously affected
foreign commerce, it was by no means
an unmixed evil, since the return to
growers wa? even larger than in a year
of normal production, while the enormous
yield of wheat was absorbed by stock
feeding and foreign consumers in place of
corn. Hence, instead of a low price' for
wheat in proportion to the heavy crop,
there was maintained an even higher
average quotation than in the short crop
year preceding.
Meats naturally reflected the expen
sive position of fodder, and it was grati
fying to notice that exports were not ma
terially reduced by the 'high level. Cot
ton passed a season of wide variations, in
the early months attaining the highest
price of the decade, but falling back
sharply ns the spinning situation was ren
dered unfavorable by exorbitant raw
material. Crop estimates were also far
apart, causing Irregularity and a ten
deucy to await more definite informa
tion. The outlook grew much more
cheerful from the producers point of view
when the closing month brought a higher
I rice than 8 cents. Expanding crops of
jmgar had the effect of lowering prices,
while competition of refiners caused a
still larger fall in the finished product,
to the great benefit of consumers. Petro
leum was less fluctuating, the extremes
of the year being 6.90 and 7.65 cents for
jefined in barrel cargoes. Extensive
fields in the South were developed, which
tended to hold prices down. Exports of
the staple products reached a new high
record, notwithstanding the lower average
prices of oil anil cotton, and the scarcity
of corn. The crop year opened with a
new record of wheat and flour exports

tar surpassing any previous monlh, while
for five months ending November 30, the
aggregate was 126,928.162 bushels.
BANK RECORDS.—In the year of big
things it was natural that new high rec
ords should be recorded in deposits and
loans. Financing of big syndicate opera
tions and unparalleled stock market deal
ings combined to raise the total of loans
and discounts to $914,623,000 on February
16. against $825,830,600 on September 15,
1900, the top point of that year. On the
same date deposits attained their zenith
at $1,011,329,000, compared with $914,810,-
| 300 on March 4, 1899, the record prior to
1901. At the time of more than a billion
deposits the banks only held in actual
cash $265,684,700, or $12,852,450 above the
25 per cent, legally required. On March
2, there was a new deposit record of sl,-
012.514,000 but loans did not attain their
maximum until March 9, at $918,789,600.
PRICE OF SILVER.—The year of 1901,
brought almost a uniform decline in sil
ver throughout the entire period, culmi
nating in sales during December at 24.94 d
ir London and 54 cents at New York. It is
found that but two months on record,
August and September, 1897, found this
metal selling as low. At that time the
bottom was touched at 23% or about 2c
an ounce lower than the low record of
1901.
THE MUTUAL LIFE LEADS.
Enormous Figure* That Show the Company’s
Stability and Strength.
(Special to News and Observer.)
New York, Dec. 31.—One of the best
evidences of the unexampled prosperity
of the country as well as of the general
movement of business for profitable, per
manent, protective and absolutely safe
investments, is found in the volume of
business done by the great life insurance
companies. Nothing nearly approaching
it has ever been known, the business of
the three leaders, the Mutual, the Equit
able and the New York ? .have been very
large. The Mutual has written an
amount vastly beyond its highest record
of other years, and every dollar of it has
been on the most carefully selected
risks in approved localities and without
demoralizing conditions of any kind. The
Mutual’s rank as the largest, strongest
and most stable life insurance company
in the world is still easily maintained.
It has returned to policy-holders and
reserved or expended in their behalf the
enormous sum of over one billion dollars
($1,000,006,000.) No other company in
the world has come near to these figures.
Schley Writes to the Children.
(By the Associated Press.)
Cumberland, Md., Dee. 81. —The pupils
of the Central High School at Lonacon
ing have received a letter from Admiral
Schley thanking them for resolutions
sent to him. In the course of the letter
the admiral said
‘•This tribute of devotion touches a
sweet chord of the sympathy and love
I hold so closely in my affection for the
younger ones who are preparing to take
our places in time and turn. My soul
goes out to them in their toiling over
the tasks they have to accomplish, and
in no less degree to the patient instruc
tors who so faithfully strive for the best
results. I sympathize so much with
the students, for I yet remember that
in the heyday of my young life my love
of study increased in the exact ratio of
the square of the distance which separ
ated me from study.”

For Elon College,
Elon College is to receive $32,000 as a
New Year’s gift.
The Southern Christian Conference un
dertook last spring the task of raising
$12,000 and F. A. Palmer, a wealthy bank
er of New York, promised to contribute
an additional $20,000 should the sum be.
raised.
Yesterday was the final limit for the
collection cf the $12,000 from the people
of the Southern Christian Conference.
Banker Palmer's agreement, was that
the money should be paid in by January
Ist, 1902.
"I am sure we will have $12,000,” said
Mr. John A. Mills, the treasurer of the
fund, yesterdav. “I have received over
SI,OOO today and every mail brings in new
contributions.”
Elon College is the educational institu
tion of the Southern Christian church.
When the pledge was taken to raise $12,-
000 by Southern Christians for their
college there was little doubt but
. that the undertaking would be a success.
The contributions have come from every
Southern State and Alabama has been
foremost in contributing to the fund.
Banker Palmer, of New York, has
given largely to education and is very
much interested in the Southern Christian
church. His $20,000 donation in addition
to the 812.000 subscription fund, will give
Elon College a handsome endowment
fund. It is an admirable institution and
worthy of its New Year gift.
' A FAMOUS CASE RECALLED.
Points of Resemblance Between the Crop
sej and Cluverious Mysteries-
The case of Nell Cropsey, of Eliza
beth City, N. C., says the Richmond Dis
patch, presents some resemblances to
that "of Fannie Lillian Madison, whose
death occurred in Richmond in March,
1885; but they are by no means “on all
fours.”
Lillian Madison was 22 years of age;
Miss Cropsey was but 18. The post
mortem upon the body of the latter vin
dicated her chastity; but that upon the
body of the former had quite a different
result. Each girl went into, or was
thrown into the water hatless; in neither
instance was the clothing of the deceased
disarranged. Upon the head of each
was a dark bruise; but neither skull was
fractured, though a blood vessel of Lil
lian Madison’s was broken.
In the Madison case the blow (whether
from accident or violence) was over one
eye; in the Cropsey case it was on the
left temple, causing a dark discoloration.
The brain was not injured. On the other
hand, Lillian Madison’s brain “was” in
jured. Yet she must have been alive,
though possibly insensible, when she
touched the water, for in her clenched
hand was found cakes of mud that she
had grasped from the sloping side of the
Old Reservoir, where her dead body was
found.
Lillian Madison had been in the water
but twelve hours; Nell Cropsey had been
in the water five weeks. Water was
found in the lungs, but not in the stom
ach of Lillian Madison. There was none
present either in the lungs or stomach
of Nell Cropsey; at least we have seen
it so stated. But whether water was
there or not does not “prove” there was
no drowning, so many are the exceptions
to the general rule noted in the books.
It seems unsettled whether Nell Crop
sey was first killed and then thrown into
the water, or was shoved in, or whether
she jumped in of her own motion.
Like questions arose in the Madison
case; but the theory of the prosecutioi#
was that Lillian was stunned by a blow
from her perfidious lover, Tommie Cluv
erius .and was by him then tossed over
the low picket fence which separated the
water in the reservoir from the gravel
walk around it.
The prosecution prevailed in the courts,
and Cluverius was hanged in January,
1887. He never gave any satisfactory
account of his whereabouts on the night
of Lillian's death; was stolid from first
to last, and never confessed. However,
it has been said that in the privacy of
his cell, just before his execution, he
quite significantly got the attending min
ister to read to him the Fifty-first
Psalm.
Cluverius ever denied that he was with
Lillian at any time on the fatal night.
Neither he nor she was a resident, of
Richmond. They came here on that oc
casion by appointment and from differ
ent counties. Wilcox admits that he was
with Nell Cropsey on the night when she
was last seen alive. His story is that
he left her crying because he had
strenuously objected to her going on a
visit to her relatives in Brooklyn, N. Y.

THE IBJUNCTIOH DISSOLVED.
Restraining the Northern Pacific From Retir
ing Preferred Stock.
(By the Associated Press.)
Minneapolis, Dee. 31. —Judge William
Loohren, of the United States Circuit
Court, today dissolved the temporary
injunction issued in the case of Peter
Power against the Northern Pacific
Railway Company by Judge Elliott, of
the District Court of Hennepin county,
Monday.
After the decision was made orally by
Judge Lochren at the close of a day’s
argument by the attorneys for both
sides, an effort was made by the plain
tiff's attorneys to have the court fix the
amount of bond which would be re
quired in order to appeal from the de
cision and to stay all further proceed
ings in the lower court pending the
appeal. Judge Lochren refused to allow
a supersedeas bond in any amount to be
given-
Judge Lochren held that the Northern
Pacific was acting within the authority
of its charter, of the contract entered
into between it and its stockholders as
incorporated in the certificates of pre
fered stock and the agreement entered
into November 13 in attempting to re
tire the $75,000,000 of preferred stock, in
the manner alleged by Mr. Power.
He also held that railroad corpora
tions could not do indirectly what the
law prevented them from doing directly
and that any method, by which consoli
dation of two or more competing and
parallel lines would be brought about,
would be illegal and a writ of injunc
tion would lie to restrain the consum
mation of the plan- But that there was
nothing in the case as presented to him
that would indicate the stockholders of
the Northern Pacific Railway Company
were attempting such a consolidation-
Mr. Power’s attorneys tonight author
ized the statement that the fight had
just commenced and that they would ap
peal to the United States Supreme court.

Kill Consolidation.
(By the Associated Press.)
Helena, Mont., Dec. 31.—A definite
plan of action to defeat the proposed con
solidation of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington railway sys
tems, was unanimously agreed upon to
day by the Governors and attorney gen
erals of seven Northwestern States, in
which these roads have mileage. Legal
action will be immediately instituted in
Minnesota courts with this object in
view, and to quote Attorney General
Douglas of Minnesota, “the thing will be
fought to a finish.”
Just how, when or where these suits
will be brought, neither Governor Van
Sant, of Minnesota, nor Attorney General
Douglas would state. The conference
adjourned late this afternoon after adopt
ing resolutions condemning the proposed
merger as contrary to sound public
policy, and pledging support to any prop
er legal action, which may be brought
to test its validity Other resolutions
were adopted calling on Congress to in
vestigate the subject and favor the grant

Commission to fix maximum rates upon
inter-State business.
MONEY IN TOBACCO.
Fine Prices Thi Year May Result in Misfor
tune For NextTYear.
“The good prices that tobacco has com
manded this year may be unfortunate in
the long end,” said Mr. J. Bryan Grimes
yesterday. “The farming classes are
wild over tobacco in the east as a re
sult of the fine prices realized, and
there is a disposition to plant for an
unusually large crop.”
“The farmers of Martin, Pitt and
Beaufort who raised tobacco this year
have made good money,” said Mr.
Grimes yesterday. “The crop in those
counties was unusually fine and the
yield will approximate fifteen million
pounds. It has been the main money
crop for our farmers. I should say
that very nearly all the tobacco raised
in that section has been sold. The farm
ers realized good prices and were wil
ling to bell. The prices of last year
were more than doubled in a great many
instances. In Martin county a number
of farms were purchased on time.
I am informed that farmers who pur
chased their farms on time last year
have not only paid the purchase price,
rent year as well.”

Miner’s Theatre Burned.
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Dec. 31. —Miner’s Eighth
Avenue Theatre was destroyed by fire
early this mornipg. The “Merry Maidens”
burlesque show had just given a long
performance and the audience had been
out of the building only about fifteen min
utes when the fire started. It was caused
by a lighted cigarette.
The theatre building was old and four
stories high. After the fire started the
chorus girls and employes of the theatre
fled to the street in a panic. It is be
lieved they all got out safely. The fire
spread with amazing rapidity. From the
theatre building it jumped to two three
story dwellings cn Twenty-sixth street.
At an early hour this morning it was im
possible to say to what extent they would
be damaged.
The loss as cow estimated will be $200,-
000. So far as is known no one was
hurt.
The condition of President John F.
Pidcock, of the Georgia Northern Rail
road, who is ill at White House, N. J.,
is still extremely critical. Dr. Hedges, a
specialist, said yesterday there is no
very great hope of recovery.

(By the Associated Press.) *
New York, Dec. 31.—With services of
and sons, with tolling of bells
and ringing of chimes, with the blare of
thousands of horns and the sharp crack
of revolver and pistol shots with the
screeching of whistles and cries from
the throats of thousands the old year
was bade farewell and the New Year
welcomed last rflfinight- Watchnight
was held in many of the churches
throughout Greater New York and
many chimes rang their farewell to the
old year.and greetings to the new,
Roman Catholic churches did not mark
the passing of the year by midnight
masses as was done last year, the ser
vice then having been directed by the
Pope because of the advent of a new
century.
Old Trinity and its chimes were the
principal magnet for the horn blowing
crowd in the down town portion of the
city. Thousands gathered about the his
toric old church.
The scenes about Grace church and in
Herald Square were similar ones. The
din, too, in the Tenderloin early in the
evening was terrific. But the noise and
confusion that broke loose from steam
whistles to horns on the stroke of mid
night was the climax of the celebration.
Will tha Four Burglars Hang?
It is understood that an appeal will be
made to the Governor for executive
clemency in behalf of the four burglars
in Buncombe county who were sen
tenced to be hanged and whom the Su

trial. Judge Douglass dissented as to
two of the burglars, who were on the
outside of the building. The chances for
executive clemency are more in their
favor than as to the other two men.
