GUATEMALA’S CROESUS.

'Oncea Slave, Now Worth Millions. Em-
ploys the Son ofa Former Owner. ‘

Don Juan Knight is popularly sup—
msed to be-the richest man in Gna-
temala. He is said to be worth $7,-
500,000. And yet, previous to our civil
war, Don Juan Knight was a negro
slave, the property of Daniel Upton.
who lived, in Dadeville, Tallapoosa
county, Alabama. ‘ '

Born in the bondage of slavery, John
Knight 'never knew his father. His
parents were separated at a sale 01

‘ slaves before he was born. At the
close of the war, .when the slaves were
declared free, he walked to New Or-
:lcans. He was twenty years old and
hadn’t a dollar to his name. Now his
annual income is over $400,000.

’And more than this, by the strange
irony of fate, he has, in the days
of his affluence, befriended those
who formerly claimed him as a part
of their goods and chattels. The son
of his former owner is in his em-
ploy as superintendent of his mines.
Mrs. Upton, his former mistress, is

 

_ the recipient of his bounty in her de-

clining years. Thus has the , negro
slave boy totally reversed the order of
things.

» Daniel Upton, Knight's former mas-
ter, was a scholarly man, and his wife

was a former school teacher. They
had half a dozen slaves, all of
whom had been treated well. Knight

was born in the plantation one spring
morning in 1845. Mrs. Upton gavethe
negro child sufiicient lessons to get
him started on childish studies by
himself. ‘ Later M-r. Upton became in-
terested in little “Black John” and
provided him with common school
books. He became the most promising
negro in Tallapoosa county. ‘ .-
Mr. Upton died in. 1860, and the

to a new master, who took him to a
cotton'pl-antation in Central Alabama.
The muster entered the Confederate
army. Young John became the over-
seer of a part of the plantation. For
four years he superintended the
gathering of the cotton and its ship-
ments to New Orleans art the best mar-
,ket prices until the close of the war.

Then he walked to New Orleans and

worked as a wharf laborer for a firm

- which handled fruits from Central
America. He saved his money. In
1866 he was sent by his employer
to Yucatan, in Central America, to live
there as b05s of the packing and ship-
ping of fruits to New Orleans. That
was practically the beginning of John
Knight’s mil-lions, says the San Fran-
cisco Examiner.

A lively, Wide awake person was
something unique in those days of si-
estas and tropical sunshine. A rev-
olution in Guatemala, in which Ra-

mon Sanchez had been deposed, was

just at its close. Knight saw what
hard work and an opportunity to
gain the favor of the new adminis-
tration would do for himself. He pro-
posed that for a cohoessidn of -some
50,000 acres of land suitable for pine-
apples and banana growing, he would
go to New Orleans and get the whole-
sale fruit dealers, who ruled the
American markets thirty years ago, to
agree to buy $2,000,000 :1 year of Gua-
temala fruits. The Guatemala gov-
ernment gladly accepted the proposi-

fi tion. In less than three months the

deal was consummated at New Or-
leans. It was the beginning of the
trade in millions of dollars annually.

He married a native young woman
in Stapa in 1872, and the union has
been a great help to his fortunes.

There are seven children in Juan
Knight’s home, and all have been ed-
ucated in the United States. Two
of the boys are in a military academy
in Mississippi now. One daughter is
an accomplished portrait painter in
Boston. Once a year the father and
mother go on a trip to New Orleans,
and from there to New York. They
were in Europe in 1894.

 

Mule walrmck. But Never Runs Over.

. Touching the protest we occasionally
bear against the dangerous practice of
driving loose mules through the streets
it may be well to assure the timorous
that there is no ‘possible danger of a
mule running over a child. You may
setfla baby in the middle of Marietta
street and drive a thousand mules at
a wild gallop through it and not one
would hurt the baby. It is well
enough to give a mule’s heels 3. wide
berth, but no one ever heard of a
child or man being run over by one.
You could not drive a mule‘over a
child—Atlanta Commercial.

» Are Fairly Good;

New York, Oct. 15.—It has never
been possible to make a more satisfac-

- tony quarterly report of failures dur—

ing the five years which are covered
by the returns made exclusively by
this paper than can the made for the
.past quarter. ' .

‘While 'a very few heavy failures still
swell the aggregate tor the last quar—
ter, those in real estle brokerage or
speculation :alozne counting for mort
than 131 per cent, of the aggregate,
with as much more in operations not
at all reflecting the general state of
.business’, the aggregate was neverthe—
less smaller than in. any other month
covered by our returns for many bran-
ches of business.

In some branches the failures in Sep-
tember or in August were the smallest
in any month, and also in many others
failures for the quarter were the smal-
lest in any quarter.

The wheat business is more active,
with prices abouttwo cents higher for
spot and nearly three cents for the
December option. Very heavy purcha—
ses have been made within the past few
days, not as yet reflected in the official
record of shipments, but the exports
from both coasts, flour included, have
been 4,101,770 bushels, against 4,886,015
for the same week last year.

The price of Corn has advanced
about two cents though the receipts
are just now larger than they were a.
year ago. ~

The price of.,spot cotton is a. six-
teenth IOWer than a week ago, and the
January option has also lost a few
points, while there is a weaker tone in
the market for goods. This is partly
due to“ the official, admission that the
price of print cloths, now a sixteenth
below two cents, cannot be sustained
without a. selling agency. which is now
proposed. mm \_ *‘Ww-‘a’ ea...

While some woolen mills have start-
ed operations during the week quite
as many have stopped. Although wool
is about ten per cent. lower than it
was on February lst, the manufactur-
ers are not buying, and the market is
remarkably dull, with sales during the
past two weeks of only 6,179,700 pounds,
at the three chief markets, against
24,331,600 last year, and 14,536,300 in
1896, and 13,703,800 in 1892.
The‘iron manufacture again reports
a small increase in weekly output, 215,-
635 tons against 213,043 a month ago,
and with the decrease in quantity of
unsold stocks on hand outside the
great steel companies, the apparent
consumption for the month of Septem—
ber was 983,804 tons, against 980,503 in
August: in “ma“...- _.». .,_ . , . .. ‘
In minor metals tin has advanced
but little on account of the marked
speculation in London, which lifted
the price to 17 cents. It is noted-that
freights to London are higher than to
New York. -.~-'»<“’.>:;‘?"’ -'--- W ~
In boots and shoes the output for the
year to date has been 136,310 cases lar-
ger than ever before, and 245,289 cases

smart black boy was auctioned off‘ g

cént. Yet the demand is much restric—
ted, the dealers holding off in the ex-
pectation of lower prices. ,
There has been no marked change in
the money market, continued ship-
ments of gold preventing any strin—
gency. . r. ' w ~

Failures for the week were 205 in the
United States against 223 last year,
and 25 in the Dominion of Canada
against 36 last year.

 

OBDAM’S TRIP FROM PORTO RICO,

 

Lieut, Briana Contradicts Sensational

Statement: as to the TrauSpox-t.
Washington, Oct. 15.-—The war de-
partment has authorized the publica-
tion of a letter to ColonelICharles Bird,
assistant quartermaster general, from
Lieutenant Briand, quartermaster of
the Fifth United States volunteer in-
fantry, who was on the Obdam, which
has just arrived at New York from
Porto Rico. Referring to sensational
statements concerning the trip, Lieu-
tenant Briand says: -

“The ship was handled well, both by
the captain and crew, and the comfort
of the passengers was l‘ooked after in
an able manner by Captain Allen. In
regard to the sick on board I wish to
say that we had two surgeons, one as-
sistant surgeon and the ship’s surgeon.
I know that the sick were looked after
in a proper manner and had all the
comforts there possibly could be had
on a. steamship.

The convalescents were under the or-
ders of Lieutenant Johnson of the
Nineteenth regulars. I saw him issu—
ing out ginger ale, malted milk and
condensed milk, jams, etc. In fact, he
looked to their Welfare as well as any
captain would to his own command,
and I. never heard a single complaint
except in regard to the delay, which
was unavoidable and for the safety of
the passengers.

 

' Train Robber Confesses.

Kansas City, Md, Oct. 15.——L'owe, the
self-confessed Missouri Pacific train
robber, has added to his confession the
statement that he also had a hand in
the hold up of the Chicago & Alton pas-
senger and mail train atBlueCut on the
night of December 23, 1896, and alleges
that the notorious John Kennedy led
the raid.

It is said that he Will again be ar—
rested and will have to stand trial on
the charge of stopping the United

‘ States mails.

At thetime of Kennedy’s acquittal it
was ope'nly charged that the jury had
been approached. -
