The Ear-Congressman Hopes Some Day to
Become the Speaker.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Ames J. Cum-
mings will be the Tammany nominee for
congress in the Tenth district of this city,
vacancy caused by the death of Andrew
J. Campbell. If Mr. Cummings should
be elected, he will be the oldest Democrat-
congress. William M. Springer of Illinois,
W. D. Bynum of Indiana, George W. Fith-
AMOS J. CUMMINGS.
ten of Illinois and W. H. Hatch and R. P.‘
Bland of Missouri, who ranked with him
in point of service, were defeated at the
last election, which would give Mr. Cum-
mings pro-eminence of rank for longest
service. All those named were prominent-
ly mentioned at one time or another for
the speakership, and if they should be left
at home again the next time and Mr.
Cummings is re-elected he would be a.
formidable candidate for the Democratic
nomination. for speaker. , -
The oldest members of congress on the
Democratic side are from the south. Some
of them have been in congress longer than
Mr. Cummings, but Mr. Cummings is
sound on the money question, from an
eastern point of view, and on other points
of party policy, and might therefore stand
a better chance for the speakership than a
southern man, as the southerners hug too
closely the idea of free coinage and are
too radical on the tariff question. Mr.
Cummings’ campaign will therefore be
one of more than usual importance and
will be watched with more than ordinary
interest.
The Tenth congress district includes all
the voting districts between Houston and
Fortieth streets on the west side. Mr.
Campbell, the Republican nominee, re-
ceived 18,845 votes; General Sickles,
Tammany candidate, 12,987, and George
Karsch, the Independent-Democratic nem-
tnee, 2,331. Altogether there were 33,000
votes cast, of which 1,000 were, blank.
Every effort is being made .to secure for
Mr. Cummings the indorsement of other
Democratic organizations, in order to off-
set the great edds against him.
The Republican candidate will probably
be John W. Marshall, who has never held
an elective Office. He is a stalwart Repub-
lican, friendly to the regular organization.
Gladstone ‘on Local Option. _
LONDON, Oct. 5.—Mr. Gladstone has
written a letter to the temperance congress,
in which he says: “While profoundly sen~
sible of the immense importance of the
liquor question I cannot pretend that I
have mastered its difficulties. I have no
doubt that, the local Option principle is
sound, .but they must be of very sanguine
temperament who believe that it is suffi-
cient to dispose of the entire question.”
Dr. Billings’ New Post.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.—Dr. John D.
Billings. formerly assistant surgeon gen-
eral U. S. N., who was .placed upon the
retired list Oct. 1, today entered upon his
new duties as medical director of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania hospital and di-
rector of the department of hygiene of the
university. Dr. Billings has a worldwide
reputation as a physician, surgeon and
hygienist.
Lawyer Baker’s Insurance Paid.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.——The Mutual Re-

widow of F. R. Baker, who was said to
beinvolved in Bookkeeper Samuel See-
ley’s $300,000 embezzlement from the Na-
tional Shoe and Leather bank, $10,000,
the full amount on the life policy. This
payment virtually removes the stain of
suicide from Baker’s memory.

WILL START. IN BUSINESS.
The Accused Declares That He Will Prove
by His Future Conduct That He Is
Not a Vagabond—\Vishes to
Provide For His Mother.
NEW YORK, Oct. ‘5.—-William S. Henry,
the so called bad son of the murdered
miser whose dead body was found on the
afternoon of J une'14 last in the basement
of his house at 95 South Portland avenue,
Brooklyn, who, charged with the murder,
has been in Raymond Street jail awaiting
the action of the grand jury, was released
from custody today.
The‘grand jury returned ‘a presentment
to the court of sessions. in which they
stated that they considered the evidence
which the district attorney and the Brook-
lyn police had against William was in-
sufficient to justifya verdict putting him
on trial for the alleged crime, and they
recommended his discharge.
Acting on the recommendation of this
p ,sentment, Judge Moore discharged
lliam. The fact that the grand jury
had failed to indict William was made
k wn to him by his counsel, Foster L.
Backus, a couple of days ago. William
was therefore prepared to take an imme-
diate departure from the jail. He packed
his valise yesterday and had all his be
longings removed to the house of his
' _ ther Walter, the so called good son, in
atbush, last night. '
William was brought to court today by
an undersheriff. He made the trip from
the jail to the courtroom on feet. He
was in a happy frame of mind and greeted

arrivedat the courtroom, he 'foundfhis

the wealthy clr‘ man who worked so,hard
to vindicate l ’m; his insane brother’s
wife; Mrs. Henry,,his aunt, and a numbei
of other women who 'had been neighbors
him in the courtroom.
Walter Shook William’s Band.
The women greeted him from a dis-
tance, but Morrison Hoyt and Walter
Henry shook his hand. and they held a
long consultation. While Waiting to be
called to the bar to be discharged William
chatted about his imprisonment and about
his future purposes. He said that he was
very glad, of course, to be discharged.
“But,” he went on, “I have only high
commendation to speak of the officials 01
have treated me. I shall go from the
a visit to my invalid mother, whom l
have not seen since the death of my in
ther.
she has been since that event.
"From there I shall go to the home of
my brother in Flatbush, where I ' will
probably remain until I make permanen'
arrangements. I intend to make my
home in Brooklyn, and I intend to show
the people that I could never have com-
mitted the crime with which I was charg‘
ed. I intend to go into business for my:
self. I have had several propositions un-
der consideration, but cannot say posi-
tively what I shall do. It is certain, how-
ever, that I shall go into the gentleman’:l
furnishing business, and it is not improb-
able that I shall take my share of the es"
fate and open up a store in adesirable part
of New York city. I understand that
business thoroughly, and I am sure I can
be successful.”
\Vill Provide For His M'oth'er.
After being liberated William said:
rest of her life and prove to my relatives
and many friends that I am neither a vag-
abond nor a bad son.”
Foster L. Backus, the counsel for Wil-
liam, said:
. “What evidence I have as to the identi-
will give to Chief of Police McKelvey.
have an excellent description of the. . .

AN ENCOURAGING ANALYSIS
Business Is Beginning to Assume it Really
Encouraging Form—Cotton‘s Latest
. Spurt—The Other Markets—Fail-
ures of the Weik.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-—R. G. Dun & CO.'§
Weekly review of trade says:
Commercial failures in the third quar-
ter of 1895 were 2,787, with liabilities ei
832, 167,179, averaging 811, 521 per firm
against $10,028 last year, about 15 per
cent more. The rate of commercial mor-
tality, 2.84 failures in a quarter for every
1,000 firms in business, is lower than last
year, and the proportion of defaulted liai
billties to the solvent business represented
by payments through clearing houses is
but 2.49 per 81, 000 against 2.77 last year.
The defaulted liabilities per firm in busi-
ness average 826. 92 against 826. 39 last
year. The defaulted liabilities of the man-
ufacturing class average 820, 865 against
819, 763 in the same quarter last yeag; in
trading $8, 577 against $6,443 last year,
and the banking failures, not included
above, have been 31, with average liabili-
ties Of 8114, 000 against $110,036 last year.
These comparisons need only a few data to
cast light on them. In the third quarter,
when failures are usually low, the average
of liabilities in prosperous years fall below
810,000. the number below 2 in 1, 000
firms, the defaulted liabilities below $2 per
31,000 exchanges, and below $25 per firm
in business. Thus the analysis indicates a
condition approaching, but not yet reach-
ing, one of general prosperity. Compar-
isons of prices this week show the lowest
range ever known for wholesale prices of .
all commodities, notwithstanding ad-
vances since March of 20 per cent in cot-
ton goods, 40 per cent in boots and shoes
and 53 per cent in iron and steel products,
while in woolen goods there has been
scarcely any advance, and in all food prod-
ucts taken together~a fall of 17 per cent.
A fall is shown in food products of 23.2
per cent in the five years since October,
1890, in wdolen goods 22.5 per cent, in
iron products 16.4 per cent, and in cotton
goods 12.5 per cent, while boots and shoes
are a little higher, and in leather and
hides much higher than five years ago.
The cotton market has mounted above
9 cents and yields a shade with realizing,
but as the crop is late and, quite largely
held back does not yet feel the influence
Of the receipts natural at this date. Re-
ports of injury and low estimates of yield
have impressed all minds, while few re-
member the stocks brought over. Re
ceipts are growing, but for the month
have been 275.000 bales less than last
year. Wheat is a shade stronger, although
western receipts have been 6, 550,494 bush-
els against 4,487,104 last year, while At-
lantic exports have been only 1,088,179
bushels against 2, 791, 489 last year. Corn
is but little lower, though beginning to
move quite largely. Scarcely any damage
appears from recent frosts‘ and storms,
but the, season will be remembered for
heavy frosts in May and September, only
about four months apart. .
A Hopeful Spirit.
Reports from other cities at the end of
the quarter are highly cheering in facts
recorded and reflect a hopeful spirit. Be-
yond question, the quarter has showp as—
tonishing improvement in some branches,
and retail distribution hasgenerally been
good, though not commensurate with
speculative wholesale purchases as prices
were rising; hence there is a marked de-
crease in buying, which some branches of
industry begin to feel. The volume of
business shown by payments through
clearing houses is 14.7 per cent larger
than last year, but 11.7 per cent smaller
than in the same week of 1892.
Railroad earnings for nine months show
by classes of roads the gain or loss of each
month compared with 1894 and 1892, ev-
ery month showing some aggregate gain
this year over 1894, though not in all
classes. Compared with 1892, all classes
fall behind each month. September shows
a gain of 3.5 per cent over last year, .but
a loss of 12.2 per cent compared with 1892.
Stocks, although dull, have been strong.
with a slight advance, more because gold
exports have ceased than because of active
trafic. The big corn crop and the belief
that the Pennsylvania new controls the
Lehigh and will raise coal rates are both
helping.
The Pennsylvania has ordered 40,000
tons steel rails, and other roads 85,000,
' but the steelmakers having bought their
pig, Bessemer is lower and also Gray
Forge, and the demand for finished prod-
ucts is decidedly smaller, so that the aver-
age Of iron prices turns downward for the
first time since February. ,Coke workers
gain 6 per cent more wages, and coke is
raised 18 to 33 per cent. Leather and hides
are but a shade Weaker. The demand for
cotton goods is strong, as they have ad—
vanced 2'.) per cent, while cotton has risen
04 per cent. Wool speculation continues
with enormous transactions, 10,960, 200
pounds for the week, and for the month
35,030,170 pounds, of which 19,165,700
was domestic, against 37, 288, 400 in 1892,
i of which 20,197,800 was domestic, but the
