The Vienna Grain Congress estimates.
that the grain crop of Europe will be
less than that of 1890 by 258,000,000
bushels of wheat, and 400,000,000 bush-
cls of rye. This year the United States
can more than make good the deficien-
cy in the wheat and can furnish a fair
supply of rye.
Europe’s needs and our abundance,
together with the return of gold, has,
quickened the commercial pulse, and
affected the prices of stocks. It looks
as if many of the conditions of 1879 and
1880 were to be repeated, and we were
to have good times.
It should be borne in mind, however,
that Europe, although sadly in need of
our bread-stuffs, is poorer than ten
years ago. Then, too, the McKinley
bill, which will prevent Europe from
paying her bread bill in merchandise;
will check somewhat her purchases.
On the whole, however, there is a
bright outlook for the farmer and the
business man, but the speculator will
have to be very circumspect or he will
get badly hurt.

Mrs. Edmonds Found.
Yesterday afternoon, J. Wesley Ed-
‘ Edmonds received a telegram from
friends in New York informing him that
his mother, who mysteriously disap-
peared from her home in Bridgeport,
was safe, and had been living quietly
with them for the last two days. She
informed her friends that she had no
desire to return to Bridgeport-at pres-
ent, and wished them to notify her son
to that effect. ,
Upon receipt of the telegram Mr.
Edmonds departed for New York and
visited his mother. She refused to say
anything concerning her whereabouts
since she left Bridgeport. Her son
thinks that her mental faculties were
impaired and thinks she left home
while suffering from mental abberation.
He intends to have her examined by
some of the New York specialists, hop-
ing that they may be able to give her a
beneficial treatment. '

A Pistol Drawn.
A lively time'cccurred this morning
in Kellogg 8*. Horton’s grocery store at
the head of Belden avenue, between
Carl Jennings the clerk, and an Ital-
ian named Frank Lagregor. The Ital-
ian went into the store to get a bill
changed, and when he had received the
change he protested that he had given
a two dollar bill and only received
change for one. Jennings insisted that
the bill was a one dollar bill, which he
produced, but the Italian still insisted
that he gave him a two dollar bill..
During the heated argument the Italian
became Wild with rage and shook his
fists and howled, which frightened
Jennings into opening a drawer and
pulliugforth a good-sized pistol, "which
had the effect of quieting the Italian
and hastening his departure from the
store.

Mysterious Disappearance.
Mrs. George Joyce, a widow, lives
on Taylor avenue. Sunday evening,
her son George, aged about 16 years,‘
came home with both eyes blackened,
abadly cut lip and his shirt flecked
withblood. He said that he had been
pounced upon and beaten by several of
the toughs of that neighborhood. He
washed the blood from his face and
hands, and soon after went out of the
house, since which time nothing has
been heard of him. His mother fears
that hehas, either in a 'fit of temporary
aberration caused by his punishment,
wandered off, or has been foully dealt
with. Searching parties have scoured
the woods and swamps in that vicinity,
but without finding him.

East Norwalk.
To THE EDITOR on THE GAZETTE :
If the party who complains through
your paper about the East Norwalk
station being closed after 8:07 every
evening, and who, finds fault because
no seats are provided outside, will
make his numerous grievances known
to the President of the road, perhaps
particular accommodations will be
forthcoming to meet his especial wants.
As to his charges that loafers con-
gregate nightly about the station, to
the annoyance of himself and others.
so far as I am able to learn the night
watchman, and the man who patrols
the track regularly in that vicinity fail
to confirm them. My own observation
too, might count for something, if I
were called upon to testify. Can it be
that the party who declines to make
complaint, either verbally, or over his
own signature, sees double when leav-
ing or boarding the train ? If so this
may account for his observing what
others have failed to notice.

Combining Newspapers.
A report for which good authority is
quoted says that there will soon be'a
significant change in connection with
two of the New Haven newspapers.
The Palladium, it is said, will be re-
moved to Chapel street and be issued
from the Union office, with the object
of cutting down the expenses of both
these papers. Then it will be necessary
. for .the two papers to support only one
office, one press, one general outfit
and one business manager.
And it is also said that there will be
necessity of more than one owner. The
present ownership. of the Union is veiled
in mystery, or rather in the name of
James T. Moran, as attorney for the
principal owner. There is strong evi-
dence, however, that the $18,500 which
Mr. Moran holds of the $20,000 of
Union stock is either owned personally
or controlled by Lynda Harrison, who
desires to have at his command two
papers of different political, principles
in the next campaign and who alone
will shape the course of'each in regard
to future political - lssues.
If these reports are true, the change
will practically mean only the long
talked _ Of consolidation of the two
papers—New Haven Register.
O.
Col. Skinner’s Resignation.
Rumors of important changes in mil-
itary circles are still rifc. A gentleman
well posted in military matters said yes-
terday that Col. Skinner would certain—
ly resign in a short time, the tacit un-
derstanding being when he took the
ofiice that he was to relinquish it in a
short time.
It is a well known fact that the mor-
ale of the regiment wasnever so poor as
now, and competent 'military critics
think that a thorough shaking up is its
only salvation. The office of successor
W111 probably devolve upon Lieut-Col,‘
Crows of Norwalk and Capt. Sheridan
Will undoubtedly succeed Crowe.
The informant was of the opinion that
Major Cornell Will not be considered
in the election of the prospective colo-
nel.———Bridgeport Union.
We can understand why Major Cor-
nell will not be considered in the elec~
tion of the prospective Colonel, but. we
fail to understand how the office, of suc-
cessor can devolve upon Limit-Col.
Crowe, as be, together with 001. Skin-
nerand Major-Cornell, promised at the
time of his election to the Lieut.-Colo-
nelcy, that he would resign in a short
time.

comgleted With the exception of the interior
finis , and Will be one of the finest bank
buildings in the state. The basement floor
will be occupied by the Tallapoosa Journal;
With thouppor floors in offices. .
The Littlefield block, adjoining, is nearly
ccmE eted on the exterior. The Morrison
bloc , on Head avenue, opposite, is well under
way, and the McBride block, opposite the
Tallapoosa Hotel, is u to the second story.
Wiscousm parties ave about completed
negotiations for a three story block, corner of
Head avenue and Lyon street, running
through to AleWins avenue, to be devoted en-
tirely to furniture, carpets, undertaking, etc.,
and several other brick blocks on Head avenue
are alread contemplated.
The Glo e Construction Company have un-
der contract_ fifteen reeldeuces in different
parts of the City. that they are now building
,for. sale to new comers on monthlypayments.
This company have been very successful in
plaoing their stock,on which 14 per ceritanuual
divulends is guaranteed, and their plan of in-
vesting the proceeds from the sale .of stock in
building houses for new comers who purchase
lots an sell the same to them on monthly
payments is a very beneficial one, both for
the-City and tne settlers who desire to own
their own homes. The company hope to place
enough of their stock to build 100 houses un-
der thiiflan during the comin year. , '

and made large earnings, it has been obli ed
to look for many of its discounts in ct er

prosperity of Tallapoosa.
he sewer built by the city from Spring
avenue to Kirker street is now complete , an
action Will be taken by the City Council short-
ly on the question of the city putting ina
complete system of sewerage or granting the
charter asked for by New York capitalists to

The City Council has ordered a large
amount of plank and gravel sidewalk on many
of the principal streets, over eight miles hav-
ing lately been constructed or ordered, the
same being first paid for by property owners.
and afterward kept in repair by the City. A
large amount of street work is constantly be-
ing done by the City, and the amount available
for this purpose the coming year Will be
double the amount of last. ,
The City Assessors. have completed their
assessment for ’91 With footings as follows:
real estate.
$928,661.00; total, $1,097,957.70, not includin the
property of the Richmond &. Dnuville a11-
road, which Will swell the grand list about
$100,000; nor does it include any of the .manu-
facturiug industries in the city, which are
exempt from taxation. The Digest for the
year shows an increase of $400,000 over last
year, and if made ninety days later would
show an increase of at least 75 per cent. as the ,
improvements now in pro ress would easily
add $100,000 tothe list. are the manufac-

A company is being formed to erect an Op-
era House on the corner of Taliaferro street
and Head avenue, to cost $18,000. It Will be two
stories on Taliaferro street and three on Head

this purpose, and the building ‘Will, Without
doubt, soon be underway. . .

With mineral properties, and in their opinion
the mineral wealth of Tallapoosa and the
country surrounding, will in the near future
be an important factor in the building of the
at .
ill/he improvement and repairs-on the Talla-
poosa Hotel are completed, audit is now one
of the best appomted hotels in the State.
Under themanagemeut of George E. Leith,
the proprietor, it has become very popular
and is full to overflowing continually. In
fact. all the hotels and boarding houses in the
City find it difficult to accommodate their cus-
tomers and the problem of how to entertain
the people who will visit Tallap005a With the
advent of fallIis a very serious one.
A company is being formed for the manu-
facture of edge tools at Tallapoosa. and While
all of the negotiations are uoths yet complet-
ed sothat we can announce it as absolute]
certain, there is little doubt but that they wi
be com leted and work on the plant begun in
a very s ort time. . . .
The busmess of the Georgia-Pacific flail-
road at Tallapoosa is rapidly increasmg. and
their freight and passenger receipts for the
month of July were nearly $7.000. With the
oompletionand operation of the manufactur-
ing industries now building Tallapoosa Willbe
one of the most important stations on the line
of their road. " .
A'moyement is on foot to . establish a large
sanitarium in the city. With the advantage
of a mild ande uable climate valuable min-
eral waters. hig elevation and perfect health-
ulness, asanitarium at this place would be
an exceedingly profitable venture. - . .
Arrangements are being made for an exhibit
of mauufacturedproducts from Tallapoosa‘
industries at the Piedmont Exposition, to be
held at Atlanta during the mouth of October,
and'all of Tallafioosa’s industries Will be rep-
resented. This xposition is by far the largest
in the South, and attracts a large number of.'
people. from all sections of the country. _
Lithia Springs Park is now at itsbest, and is
one of the most. delightful spots imaginable.
There is nothing to compare With it in natural
beauty and artistic arrangement of flowers,
shubbory, etc. in the state, and under the
supervmion' of Mr. Uber, the gardener, .10 has
been changed from a Wild woodland into a.
beautiful garden in the brief space of a year
and shows effectually the productiveness o
the natural 8011 of the place.
Two new boarding houses of 20 rooms each
are now be erected in the manufacturing Sec-
tion, oppomte the glass works. but these are
'entirely inadequate to the present demand.

in that portion of the city.

manufacturing section .during the coming
week. Other parties W111 start ten houses
already rented to the Howe Stove Works, an
negotiations are being;r eomgleted now for the
erection of 100 additional ouses for opera-
tives in the manufacturing section. .
Nearly all the houses now building Will com-
.pare favorably with any northern city, being
of modern architecture, many of them ro-
vided With bath _rooms, electric lights an all
modern conveniences. Over $125,000 15 repre-
sented in the buildings now gomg up'lll the
city, and this Will be doubled by the buildings
to e started during the month of Se ember.
Work in the street departmeutpf t 8 com a-
ny is progressm steadily and Will be exteu ed
to all portions 0 the company’s roporty. It
is the pohcy of the company to 0 this work
thoroughly and as fast as commensurate With

The retail trade of the oity is something phe-
nomenal for a place the Size of Tallapoosa, and
the merchants alread established are deing an
exceedingly profitab e busmess. _With a. Bay:
roll of $1.000per day, a lar e portion of w .1011
is expended in the city, an With the certainty
of this being .doub ed before the end of the-
year, the City is to- ay. :1. most 1nv1ting field
for any branch of retail busmess, and many
lines are as yet entirely Without representa-
tion.
. The demand for stores andresidences is far
in excess of the supply. Every new building
in the busmess center of the city is rented be-
fore commencing its construction, and there
are no vacant houses obtainable for rent. The
city needs. and needs immediately, at least
twenty additional store buildings and 400
houses for rent and sale on instalments. This
field ofiers an exceedingly profitable one for
the investment of capital.
Property values are advancing daily and
busmess property has advanced fully 50 per
cent. since our last report .m July, and is or
changinghands daily. ReSidence blro erty is
commencmg to move freel and t e demand
for lots on which to build iouses is very act—
ive. ~
The wage earners of Tallapoosa at present
number over.600_by actual count, and the pay-
roll for the city is Over $6,000 per week or $1.000
er da . With the operation of the newmanu-
actnring industries that Will emlploy fully 1,000
additional hands, the pay-yo ' of the city ,
would be more than half a million dollars for
the coming year, which 1 easily support a
po ulation of from 5,000 to 10,000 people.
though the past week has been extremely
warm in all sections of the United States, the
temperature in some lplaces reaching 100 to 115.
the thermometer at allapoosa has not re 's-
tered over 92 degreea With no erceptible u-
midity in the atmosphere and t 19 nights cool
and delightful. ' _ .
The company are now_devot1ng their ener-
gies to selling ofi‘ a portion of then propert
or investment and iin rovement. and its Ian
out $1,000 or day, even
in the dullest mont i of the year or Southern
enterprises, and the .sales ourng September,
from present indications, Will be double this
amount. The stockholders of the company are
takingan active interest in the sales _ of prop-
erty and many of them are improvmg their
purchases by the erection of houses, that find
ready purchasers at handsome profits.
Applications are received oonstantly from
manufacturers of different lines in various
sections of the country, to locate at Tallapoosa
but the Management desn'e to secure only
those who haye been successful in the past- and
who are looking for a location .to better t err
condition rather than for securing a bonus.
During the present week the city” has been
visited by nearly 100 stockholders or the com-
sales already average .-
pany from all sections of the country, thirty of ‘ ' >
them coming from Philadelphia on an excur-
sion from that obint. W}thout exception they
were all agreea 1y surprised 'by the Situation
of affairs, and the only critmism the weredis-
posed to make was that the company 5 property
and the advantages and deve opmeut of the
city were not described or stated strong
enough in the company’s printed matter.
Larie investments were made in olty lots, and
muc of the roperty purchased Will, be im-
proved immec atelyby the owners. '
. Although the syndicate commenced purchas-
ing stock at $3.55 per share on August ist, very--
little has been offered, which is something re-‘
markable in View of the fact that the present
1181; of stockholders numbers over 10,000, and it
would be exceedingly strange if some among
this large number should not be forced by ad— .
verse circumstances to realize on their stock,
when the could do so With handsome profit.
uch as as been offered has been taken by
other stockholders of the company, under an
arrangement made to allow the purchasers of
lots a certain amount of the stock at the Jul
price. This establishes the fact that the stoc
of the company has been mostly purchasedby
boua fide investors who .will iold it for div:-
dends, and for the advance in the stock itself.
The October diVidend, semi-annual. on the
stock Will be declared by the directors during .
Septemberuand the transfer :books closed 0c-
tober 14th till the payment of the d1v1dend. It
is hoped to make the cash divulend at that time
2per cent. on the par value of the stock and
carry a surplus to the d1v1dendlfund, suffiCieut
to guarantee an_equal amount for April.
The company is now offering a limited num-
ber of alternate lots for this purpose, and de-
sires to dispose of them as far as pOSSible to
those who Will improve the lots or hold them
for an investment, rather than to speculators.
The present de ressmn in a large number of
Southern towns ias greatly benefitted Talla-
poosa, in the matter of securing much more
than its proportion of investors and home.
seekers coming South, Scores of mechanics
have moved to the City from surrounding
towus, and all have secured immediate employ-
men . -
Considering the fact that it is midsummer.
when few Northern people are coming South
on account of the deep-seated ,et entirely false '
impressmn that its summer c_ imate is oppress-
ive and unhealthy. the activity of Tallapoosa
is something phenomenal. ,
. Every department of the company’s business
is in the mostexcelleut shape, audits property
is increasmglin value daily and is in active de-
mand, and t e resent condition of the enter-
prise in genera is far better than its projectors
would dare have hoped in its inception, only
one year ago the coming October.
One strong Oint to recommend the promises
of Tallapoosas prosperity IS' the fact that its
manufacturers represent varied lines, there be-
ing only one of any line in the City, and all are
such classes of manufacture as are adapted to
the location. . _ .
. None of the industries 13 experimental. nor
induced to locate by reason of any exhorbitant
bonus offered. For illustration, the Ha es
Chair Company and the Hitchcock Mann ac~
turing Company were induced largely by the
cheap'lumber to be obtained, which is a arge
factor In their manufacturedproduct. Oak and
hickory lumber can be obtained at from $5 to
$10 per thousand, instead of from $30 to $50 per
thousand as in the North ; as they use about
3.000,000 feet each year, it does not require a
great amount of figuring to see a large profitm
this item alone. Other advantages are absence
of taxation, superior ship ing famhties,
chea er labor for common WOI‘}, cheaper fuel
and ess of it, on .aocount of mild Winters, vir-
tually no com etition and a home market.
This same 1'. eory applies to such of our man-
ufacturers as use iron, in' its various forms,
lass, cotton, wool, etc._ While the company
as offered substantial inducements in the way
of additional capital and securing loans for
many manufacturing industrieS, the main rec-
ommendation that has induced manufacturers
to locate here has been the superior advantage
of location in a section where raw material can
be secured at a nominal cost. ' -
It seems to have been fully demonstrated
that the policy-of interestin the masses, rath-
er than a few, in the stock 0 ‘ the company,was
a true one, and is sure to make such a success
of the enter rise as has never before been seen.
