Tall, com manding, and of a dlstiDguUhed ap pearance, the truths which he ut tered were literally hurled out at those who were antagonistic to him, and when he was done, not one among the many hundred before him could say that the the grand ad dress did not team with truth and wisdom. Indeed, it seemed that the Immortal Lincoln had returned to earth and was using the great Southerner as the medium through which to warn the rank and file of the party of which he was once the leader, that they were being lured on to destruction through the false cry of "prosperity." Some good Christian woman in the audience whose heart overflowed with God's love to all mankind, shouted "Amen!" or "True! True!" at fiequent Intervals, but in this she differed from others only in the fact that her approbation was audible. If all the voters of Day county had heard this speech and would vote strictly in accordance with what they felt was strictly right, Mark Hanua would look over hereafter the elec tion and say, "There's a place that needs fixing, and right away. The brightness of God's truth is shining there, and the gentle showers of His love are developing humanity there into a community of patriarchs whose motto is, "I,et us te happy through making others happy. They wish neither to rob nor be robbed, and hence are dangerous to our Re publican institutions. They will be like the little leaven which leaven ed the whole. They mast be dug out, root and branch or, better still, we will place part of our standing army there to keep them down! The country must not learn from these people that true happiness and naiioirai greauie can tu., ... through following God's laws and the teachings of the Declarat ion of Independence." Strangled to Death in a Fit. Baltimore, Nov. 1. Max Cohen flfty-flve years eld, was found dead this morning at his home, 1426 East Monument street. When Mr. Co hen failed to appear at the usual hour, an investigation was made. His body was found partly out of bed, with the bd clothes wrapped around the neck and head. His faco was frightfully distorted. Phy sicians who were called in decided tbat death had resulted from suffo cation. It is conjectured that Mr. Cohen became entangled in the bed cov erings while In an epileptic tit, as he was subject to that trouble. It is said that he was taken with a tit several years ago, while filling a gasoline stove, and fire resulted which caused the deaths of several persons.

Of over $5,000,000 in ex ports, only $15,000 worth went in American vessels. Buy Shipbuilding Material. Glasgow, Nov. 6.

EXTREMELY WARM WEATH ER HAS BEEN UNFAVOR ABLE To RETAIL BUSINESS. FAILURES REPORTED FOR OCTOBER. .io. uoil.. indt Miuwi a Gain Otw Lat Yer of Our Manufacture! OooU KxportKl-Tlie Coal strike Ifaa Caud au Adanc In Price of Anthracite Coal Nkw Yokk, Nov. 2. Bradstreet's review to morrow will say: Unreasonably warm weather con tlnues ths leading directly unfa vorable feature of distributive trade because of the check given to retail distribution, oool weather is necessary to restore business in most line of dry goods, wearing apparel acd shoes. Conservatism in view of the near approach of the Presidential election is undoubted ly an element exercising consider able influence, particularly in stock speculation. But a conspicuous exception to this Is found in the reawakening of demand and tho advance In prices shown in the iron trade In widely separated sections This is really one of the mo3t im portant developments of the week and is taken as indicating that con sumers" stocks are down to a mint mum. Clearing statistics are encourag ing, those for October particularly so, although quieting stock specu lation has apparontly limited tho week's total. Failures naturally show expansion over tho same pe riod a year ago, but are much more favorable man in preceding years. Following the ending of the an thracite coal strike has come the announcement of an advance in wholesale prices of from 25 to 30 cents per ton, and the impression is that retail rates are not likely to show any marked reduction very soon Speculation on the various ex changes has ruled rather slow. In wheat the moving factor has been the reiteration of the stories of Ar gentine crop damage, which was In strumental in inducing some ad vance, much of which was lost la tor, la cotton fear of frost damage has been the moving factor, and scored from Hie Iowapo''Veafcnea ast week. A distinct and marked mprovemmt in the demand for both crude and finishtd iron and steel is noted. Although the export demand for iron and steel is quieted of late, that for cotton is apparently undi minished and this week witnesses the hoaviest single day's exports from New Orleans ever recorded. Nine months' trade returns show a gain in manufactured goods ex ported o: twenty-two per cent, over a year ago, while tho increase In agricultural products was only 95 per cent., and later increase being mostly due to higher prices of cot ton as compared with last year. The outlook is for an aggregate ex port of manufactured goods this year of at least $440,000 000, a total never heretofore approached. There were at b failures reported for the month just closed, an in crease of 64 per cent, over last Oc tober. Had One Good Laugh Then Committed Suicide. Mt. Vernon, N. Y , Dispatch, 31st. ult. - The young man who committed suicide in this city yesterday by drinking carbolic acid has been identified as J H. Tobias, who was formerly employed as clerk at 709 Broadway. N. Y. The dead man was an Erfelish Jew, and his broth er and sister live in London, ina bility to find employment led him to take h s life.

Please write to my sister and tell her that I died of pneumonia " So far as can be learned, Tobias had never been In Mount Vernon before, and it is supposed that in comming here to kill himself he followed the example of Robt. Mc Curdy Lord, the broker, who came from Bayonne, N. J . and leased a house on Chester Hill in which he committed suicide in order that his wife might get the $50,000 insur ance on his life. Tobias was identi fied by Solomon Fox and Jacob Freidmannof 32 East Sixty-seventh street. Afraid of J ustice. Hickory Times-Mercury. The Democrats at Smlthfield who got drunk in the last campaign and raised cain generally by all kinds of force and intimidation, now, since il,. r for it, the scoundrels squall out for the calf r pe and say, "we are being persecuted!"
