The appreciation of the fair is general. There are plenty of assurances that the next fair will have the magnitude of an exposition. I The interest in the political campaign this year has certainly not been anything like as i intense and as general as it was two years ago. It is now getting pretty warm. The f usionists. first oil all, want to to get a ma jority in the Legislature. Next to this the Populists want toi elect their judicial ticket, while the Republicans rank as second the Congressional ticket. " our correspondent is assured by Demo crats who are extjremely observant and who have canvassed ii many sections that the "Legislative tickejt is all right. There is more concern as to the judicial ticket. If the Democrats db earnest work until sun set election day ajad poll their full strength -they can win by from 5,000 to "10,000 ma ioritv.

' New Yobk, Oct. 29. Business at theStock Exchange was more active, but the activity was at the expense of values. As of - late the anthracite coalers were the features of speculation, but to-day the high priced in vestment stocks and the Grangers received more attention. Liquidations were quite pronounced in the case of the coalers, Grangers and other issues, there having been a steady dribbling of long stock from the tin boxes throughout. For a 'long time past the bu'ls haye been boasting that the effort of the bears to dislodge long stock were unavailing and that each attack only served to increase the short interest. They can say so no longer,; for to-day there was enough stock and to share, so : far as the bears- were concerned. - The drop in tire anthracite stocks were partly due to rumors that stove coal had-sold as low as $3 per ton, against $3.85,. the schedule price. Jersey Central was i also af fected by the statements that the neb earnings for the nine months ended Sep tember - 30, 1894, had increased $1,301,965.

Around the opening it was difficult for the crowd to decide whether to buy or sell, but wiule in the state of uncertainty' there was an effort made to liquidate, which defined the course for a time, prices easing off only to become hrm about the "put" price and later to partake of the conspicuous strength of corn. The tone softened and hardened several times, but the final feeling was firm, although prices were fractionally under Saturday at the close. December wheat opened at 52ic, sold between 52e and 5li to 512, closing at 52ic bid a shade under Sat urday. Cash wheat iwas steady and un changed. - -1 ' . ! I - There was a strong marset tor corn to day, particularly for the near by deliveries. The feeling came from different sources, which seemed to be of varied importance. November at one time was 2c higher than Saturday's close, but the desire of early buyers to realize caused prices to recede, tne close showing a gain oyer that day of but ic. May, while strong, did not tully participate in the advance of the nearer deliveries. May corn opened from 50i to 50ic, sold between 50i and 50ic, closing at 50gc, ic higher than Saturday. Cash corn was strong and lie hieher. if- Oats were about asusual sympathetic with corn. Early buyers realized before the close so that the full gain was not sustained. There was nothing of independence . in the trade, nor anything that could be called a feature. May closed J to Jc higher than Sat urday. Cash oats were ic higher. . Provisions opened easy on the condition of the hog market, which was weaker for most frades. Little interest was taken in the usiness, although the strength of corn caused some buying, which brought about a revival in the tone and caused a moderate rally to prices. The close was 2i to 5c higher than Saturday for January pork, 71c higher for January lard and 21 higher for January ribs. i ' -;j .

WASHiKGTorj, Oct. 29. Attorney General Olney to-day sent to Secretary Carlisle -the folio wing communication: - :x "I have the honor to acknowledge your letter of the 18th instant, enclosing copies of the letter of Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, to the commissioner of internal revenue, and of the letter of the commis sioner of internal reyenue, and concluding as follows: 'I have therefore the honor to request that you furnish this department with an opinion as to the course which should be taken by the office of the internal revenue in the event that 'the State officers of South Carolina seize spirits in the bonded warehouses in that State.' : . . "The legal status of distilled liquors in a bonded warehouse of the iJnited estates and under the control of the collector of internal reyenue is definitely stated and settled by section 924 of the Revised Statutes of the. United States, which declare that 'all prop erty taken or detained by any officer or other person under authority of 'any -revenue law of the United States shall be irreplev iable and shall be deemed to be in the custody of the law and subject only to the orders and decrees of the courts of the United States having jurisdiction thereof.' "It need not be held, as has been sug gested, and perhaps might well be, that since the tariff act of August 28, 1894, the taxes due on distilled liquors in a United States bonded warehouse can be paid only by the distiller. Whether that be so or not, a tender of such taxes by a sheriff or other like State officer is necessarily ineffectual as against the statute above quoted, since it is beyond the power of an internal revenue colleoior to accept it and thus nullify the provisions and defeat the policy of a statute which aims to absolutely exempt such liquors from the operation of the process of a Btate court. Such tender, which for the reason stated, the collector is incompetent to accept, must be also ineffectual, because no officer of South Carolina has been given the right or power to make it the legisla tion of South Carolina not authorizing any, such tender, nor providing any fund which cart be used for that puf pose. - ' ; - "The result is that the provisions of tfie South Carolina Dispensary law of 1893 must be regarded as ineffective and inoperative as against distilled liquors held in a United btates bonded warehouse under the control of the collector of internal revenue." ' The Interior Department was again opened to the public to-day after a two day's quar antine on account of the infection of small pox therein . Every possible precaution has been taken to prevent the spread of the dis ease, and each room in the department has been thoroughly fumigated. In addition to this, all the outgoing mail is disinfected and the whole clerical force has now been vacci nated. About thirty, clerks employed in the law division, where the contagion broke out, have been sent to their homes, and fifty oth"s in different parts of the build ing have een giyen a twelve days' vacation.

The United States Supreme; courtjto-day reversed the decision of the Circuit court in the case of John C.

Eno raised the point that the State cqurts were without jurisdiprion and that he could be tried only in the Federal courts.

Jones, a maiden lady, at her home a few miles from this city, on the 21st inst., where she was found hanging by the neck, has confessed the murder. .His preliminary hearing was held this morning soon after, midnight when he waived examination. He was immediately removed to Sparta, fears being entertained that a mob might attempt to take him from jail. The crime is of a revolting nature. Three years ago Buxton, by a series of ob scene letters purporting to come from a witch and directed to Miss Jones, hypno tized her and caused her iruin. The inti macy was ; continued to 1 the day of her death. By the same system of deceit, the; infatuated woman consented to be strung up by the neck in the belief that it rwould cause the death of Buxton's wife. The second time the ex-: periment was tried Buxton pushed the chair on which the foolish woman stood from under her, and she swung into eter nity. Buxton took what money there was in the house and left for home, a short dis tance away, where he was arrested, brought to tne city and lodged in jail. His motive for committing the murder is that he was tired of the woman. Buxton has a wife and three children. IThe murdered woman was a near neighbor of the Buxtons. and lived alone. . 1 i-- 1 1 As soon as court was called to-dav Bnxton waaferoueht in and pleaded emiltv. and was immediately sentenced to Waupon for lifey Three Men Killed and Many Wonnded some of the Inmates Thrown Fifty Feet in the Air and Lodged in the Trees ; Parties Suspected Re wards Offered for the Perpetrators. Baltimore Sun ) Wilkesbabbe, Oct. 28. A large Hunga rian boarding-house at Laurel Run, this county, was blown up by dynamitards at 3 o'clock this morning. Three of the in." mates were killed outright, four fatally in jured and half a dozen seriously hurt. Twenty-four sticks of dynamite were placed under the building, each being about njne inches long and weighing about half a pound. A wire connected the sticks with a battery, Bituated about fifty yards awav. When the signal was given and the current turned on only about, half a dozen of the sticks exploded. They were sufticient, how ever, to completely wreck the buildine. not a beam or plank of which was left standing. several 01 tne inmates who occupied beds in the upper floor were hurled fifty feet in the air. Some of them escaped fatal injuries by alighting in the trees near by. Half dazed by fear and sleep, they managed to muiu kju. wj me iimua untu tney recovered their senses and were able to rpnoh th ground. . j One of the wounded lately after the explosion he saw four strange men running down the roadway leading to the village of Miner's Mills. They carried lanterns.. While he lay on the ground auother stranger approached him and rifled his pockets. He also cut the belt which encircled his waist and carried it away. Another of the injured gives it as his opinion that the men seen on the ground .....v. mo cauiumuu were tramps. The djnamiters used Pitfshnrcr Hno; which fact may lead to thpir ri;., dynamite of that character is used bv the railroad contractors, whose tool-house is near the scene.

Most of the larger stores oblige their customers more or less by taking back goods, but most of them haggle about it and make it unpleasant. Few of the little stores take anything back. They are smooth as oil in selling, but rough with dissatisfied buyers, especially with strangers. If a merchant, big or little, put obstacles in the way of your proper freedom in this" respect, his goods are not so good as they look in the store, or he is too "close" to be safe. ; The use of this thought is to keep you from parting with money where you can't get it again if you want it.
