Leading oontnern newspapers wn icn nave been received, publish stories o the rise and fall of Fall River as a: maaufacturin g city which are somewhat at variance with the tacts. Instead of ?beinjr 'i deserted village.T as these papers rep resent, fall River gives pro mise of i more active and sturdy; growth than ever, If the changed conditions in the past two weeks may be taken as a basis for prophecies. Last week ? the mills sold J70,000 pieces of goods and the week previous 349,000 pieces... " thus disposing of more than three weeks production in .two weeks, witn me r aemana . still . very eood. These fls-nres n t.sknn from brokers' reports of the trading among print ciom mins. . They do not include sales of eoods bv the Iron iSorks Mill, King Philip, Stevens, Globe Yarn, Sanford or Barnaby Mills, and do not deal with the production of the Jesse Eddy Woolen Mill or the largest low grad hat factory in New England.; it was an exmbitlon by these latter con cerns that surprised mill men and busi ness men a few days ago and has since brovoked: renewed interest in Jthe local tnarket among the leading factors in the dry goods trade. Their products are classed with the best made. They are running !in full, just as are all other local concerns, though their goods are being sold on a low margin of profit. ! In the past two weeks more than a half dozen corporations have paid quar terly dividends ranging from li to 2 per Cent, audi none of them are reported as going behind. There is less than a week's production of (roods on hand and the demand for many grades of "wide fabrics cannot be met for some weeks to come. In directions other than that of cotton manufacturing the city is also showing signs of much fu ture prosperity. The talk of removing the t'all Kiver line traffic to another ter minus has no foundation and the busi ness of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad is showing a profiable increase in this section. Citizens out side of the mill investment interests agree in believing that the battle for the survival of New England's cotton industry is to be -fought, and thev are ready to! go on with the fight at any time. HE TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. Lexow's First Witness Commits Suicide. New York, April 1. Carl Priem. who was the first witness to furnish the Lexow investigation committee with testimony regarding police corruption in this City, was found dead in his room at No. 51 East Third street about 11 o'cloek to-day, having committed sui- ciae Dy taking poison. Priem returned from Europe about two months ago and went at once to live in the house where he killed himself.

The Mexican Congress convenes here to-night and it is believed that unless a reply 0is re ceived from Guatemala, acceding to certain demands made bv Mexico before the session opens, President Diaz will make a strong declaration of his noliev. and will probably ask Congress for the power to declare war against that country, in case he. should think it necessary. The difficulties in the wav of a settlement of the troubles between the two countries have greatly increased in toe last lew days and negotiations are now practically suspended. The Trouble Over.

Richmond, Va.. April 1. The citv council to-night set apart $10,500 to purchase a site for a monument to Gen eral J. E. B. Stuart, the great Confed erate cavalry leader. The site is on Broad street, in the centre of the re tail district. When Stuart was killed the council committed the citv to the erection of a monument to him, and the matter has been recently revived. It is thought that the Stuart Monument Association will now press the matter of collecting funds for an equestrian statue , . . , The usual cublic debt statement was not issued yesterday but will appear to- asy.

After a careful consideration of the matter the ministers unanimously voted no, a reso lution being offered to that effect by Kev. t. . iMarr, of the Al. m. church. The pastors here are almost a unit in opposing this kind of unlicensed work, as . they believe that more general harm than good results. Each denomi nation has its special evangelists, and revival wofk falls within the province of these men, and with these the Salis bury pastors are willing to co-operate and not the sensational kind.

CUBAN INSURGENTS TO BUT A BOAT Eastern Ship-Builders to Furnish Them a Torpedo Bot With Which They Propose to Do Execution. Washington, April 1. Information of a somewhat sensational character has been received iu3Yash'iiigton with in the past 24 hours with resect to the rebellion in Cuba. The officials inter ested have been informed from sources which they deem entirely reliable that a prominent Eastern ship-building firm has agreed to furnish the insurgents with a torpedo boat at an early day which will be used to destroy the Span ish war vessels now cruising in Cuban waters. Whether the firm in question will build the boat or furnish a steam launch which can be used as a torpedo boat is not known, but it is asserted that a swift boat of some character which can be used for torpedo purposes will soon be in the hands of Cuban sym pathizers in this country. It is pro posed to equip the craft with a full sup ply of torpedo tubes and start her im mediately to the Cuban shores. The Spanish government is said to be aware of this expedition and to have notified the State Department officials. What action the latter will take cannot, at this time, be stated, inasmuch as no nformation bearing upon the matter will be given at the department. A vessel such as that referred to above would possibly destroy several Spanish cruisers before she was captured, even though she should be finally unlucky enough to fall into the hands of the Spaniards. In such event, it is said, short shrift would be made of the officers and crew, who would be treated as pirates and executed without mercy or delay. The Orioles Defeat the Atlantas.

She said she concluded to do it : last Wed nesday and came to this city to carry out her plan. She first went to the Da vidson House, but could get no room to suit her.
