road _Enr11ings Mark the Month.
New York Dec. 4.—-—R. G. Dun & Co.'1
Weekly Review of Trade says: “The
monthly report of failures shows de-
faulted liabilities of $11,610,195 in No
vember, against $12, 700, 856 last year.
Because of three large failures for $3,

$1,100,000 less than last year, and ex.
'«cept for these would have been smallei

“The decrease in nearly all branches 01
business shows that payments have
“been remarkably good and defaults un
usually small. Other evidences of the
state of business are/convincing, ex

been voluntarily advanced for nearly
uhirty thousand workers in woolens and
iron. Stocks are somewhat stronger

'lehe voluntary advance of 20 per cent

7branches, which may be justified, this
important department of the woolen in.
~dustry puts itself at the front, virtually
«declaring its ability to face any foreign
competition.
The wheat market has deceived
everybody, dropping in the face of, ar.
Ienormous foreign demand just when
some advance might reasonably have
"been anticipated. But in the long run
‘z‘the outward movement will affeci
:prices, although the surprisingly large
increase at the West indicates a con-
siderably greater yield than has been
anticipated. So the enormous 1eceipta
of cotton from plantations, ek ceeding
those to date from the great crop 01
about ten million bales in 1394, tends to
echeck all speculation, although both
foreign and domestic demands fox
zspinners have been materially re-
stricted. .
Nothing appears to indicate any

' 'DL-‘l-RRANT'S LAST CHANCE GONE.
JConc'lus‘ive Proof.I that Blanther Did
Not Murder Blanche Lamont.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 4.——Joseph E. Bian~
ther,‘ better known as Arthur D.
Forbes, who was manager and proprie-
tor of the Southern Purchasing Agency
of Atlanta, and who recently commit-
ted suicide in a. county jail in Texas,
was in Atlanta on the day When the
murder of Miss Blanche Lamont and
Miss Minnie Williams occurred in San
Francisco. The statement is made by
jzpersons in Atlanta who knew Forbes
’well and who had business dealings
with him, and to support their state-
ments the books and records which
were in Forbes’ office here have been
consulted, and it is shown that between
.April 1 and April 14, 1895, the time 01

could not have possibly been the mur-
derer of the young girls, and the decla-
ration made in a written confession, ad-
mitting that he'killed the young wom-
en, is false.
Mrs. Blanther, the widow of the sul
cide, has been exerting every energy
:and effort to show that her husband
was the real murderer, and that Theo-
edore Durrant. now under sentence ol
'death for the crime, is an innocent
‘man. Mrs. Blanther, who was deceived
iby her husband, is doubtless sincere in
'what she says. but her whole course 01
:action is based upon the alleged writ-
ten confession which, it is said, was
found upon the person of Blanthe1
when he committed suicide in the
Texas jail.
Baked His Sprained Leg .
Berkeley, Cal., Dec. 4.—E. B. Hinman
a sophomore in the University of Cali‘
fornia, has had his leg baked in an
oven at a temperature of 300 degrees
Fahrenheit to cure a sprain. This is 82
degrees higher than the temperature 01

"The sprain disappeared with wonderfu
rapidity. The injured limb was treated

Hinman' 5 leg was wrapped in absorb

The Potato Blter 1111.
Denver, 001., Dec. 4.——The farmers
of Colorado are disappointed at the
ffailure of an attempt to corner the po-
tato market. The chief market for the
crop has been in Texas and Southern
points. This year, when it was reported
that there was a shortage in the East-
. aern crop, the potato growers decided
'10 raise the price of the crop out oi
Sight. To-day they are trying to find a
demand for the potatoes, and the rail-
roads in Colorado that formerly han-
edled from thirty to forty carloads a day
for five months of the year find "that
traffic gone.
The business has been captured by
the farmers of Minnesota, who are now
supplying the South with tubers at 2G
cents per hundred less than the Colo-
rado farmers.
Jackson Will Fight Again.
San Francisco, Dec. 4.—-Peter Jackson
and Jim Jeffries have agreed to fight
twenty rounds before the Occidental
Club, at the Mechanics' Pavilion, early
111 February, for 76 per cent. of the re-
ceipts. The two heavy-weights will

The crowning act of a verbal pledge
n-ade between two men who were in.
1usiness in California some years took
1lace at the home of. J. F. Taylor re-
:ently.
About eight years ago J. F. Taylor
was in business in California, and be-
-ng in need of a partner, took J. C.
\Iew. After two years business grew
lull and after a hard struggle they,
verve compelled to give up. Without
iissolving the partnership the men
lecided to part, so made an agreement
.hat should fortune ever smile upon
"hem, they would hunt each other up
1nd divide. Mr. Taylor drifted into
Washington, engaging in business at
)akesdale for a time, and then bought
1. ranch on Cedar Creek, where he now
'esides. Mr. New went to Alaska, and
when the riches of the Klondike were
1era1ded to the world was one of the
irst in the country and succeeded in
naking a small fortune, besides se-
zuring three claims.
Faithful to the promise that was
nade in the shadow of a business fail-
1re, he hunted Mr. Talor up, and in
:ompany with an attorney, went to
.he home of Taylor to get his power
1f attorney for the disposal of his in~
zerest in some claims on the Klondike.
Hr. Taylor also received $27,500 as his
1a1f of the earnings of one of the
:laims. They have beenbffered $100,-
100 for the other three claims—Den-
rer Republican.

“That‘s easy,” he muttered, and
seizing his pen he wrote as follows in
reply: .

onions, soak them for five minutes in
pure cider vinegar, add a small carrot
cut into pieces about the size of a pea.

pepper, put the mixture in a quart jar,
screw up tight, and put away in the

this manner, they~ will not aifect the

“No.”
“Not even when you told her that
you had become desperate and were

“Not a bit.”
“Didn’t she offer you any little part-

“Yes, she did that. She said that if
