THINGS DRAMATIC.
The attraction at O'Hrien's opera house
last night was "A Railroad Ticket.” The
play, which has little or no plot, consists
of a number of fi^t-elass specialty ar
tists, who create enough amusement to
keep an audience laughing throughout
the performance.
The features of the performance, aside
from the comedians, are the dancing of
Misses I.ockett, Halvers and Rice, the
acrobatic exhibition by Frank Qardlner
and the quartette. Each of these was
encored several times. John S. Terry
Bias a good tenor voice.
The comedians. C. E. Grapewln as Rob
ert Tickets, the ticket broker; Eugene
Canfield as Chips, an nnibithtite office
boy; James H. Rradley as J. H. F. dash
er, the "rain king,” and Frank Gardiner
as Fet'cy Vere, the collector, are all ex
cellent artists in their lines and intro
duced a number of comical situations
that were heartily appreciated by the
small but enthusiastic audience.
A stronger combination of comedians
than these four men make is rarely seen
In this part of the country, and by their
efforts the audtence is kept constantly
laughing throughout the performance.
Freeman's funmakers, as they are gen
erally known, give a performance that
deserves good patronage and they
shojld be greeted with full houses to
nigTil and at matinee this afternoon.
The Fatted Calf.
"The Fatted Calf” is billed for O’Bri
en's next week, Wednesday and Thurs
day nights.
PASTOR’S RECEPTION,
The Epworth league of the First Meth
odist church tendered a reception to their
new pastor, Dr. G. C. Kelley, last night.
Quite a number of the members were
present and a hearty welcome was ex
tended the distinguished divine, who Is
to administer spiritually to them the
next year.
DUN AND BRADSTREET’S.
There Is a Pressure to Sell Southern Pig
Iron, But It Is Necessary to Make
Concessions.
New York, Dec. 6.—R. G. Dun & Co.
will say tomorrow in their weekly re
view of trade:
With all the shrinkage in present busi
ness and prices it Is encouraging to And
but a small increase in failures. Liabili
ties for the four weeks of November were
$12,099,293, against $10,581,873 last year;
manufacturing liabilities were $3,560,681,
against $3,242,849 last year, but trading
liabilities were only $6,728,912, against
$7,207,367 last year. Failures in the
United States for the week have been
324, against 385 last year, and 52 In Can
ada, against 40 last year.
Business is still sluggish, as If gorged
by excessive Indulgences of the appetite
for buying when prices were advanced.
In nearly every branch stocks not yet
distributed to consumers stand in the
way of new orders, and competition of a
producing force largely exceeding the
present demand puts down prices, that
decline retarding purchases yet more
After the holidays men look for a larger
demand. Financial Influences have not
hindered, and rarely has the opening of
a session of congress influenced business
so little.
Iron and its products nre lower, an
thracite No. 1 at $13, plates at 1.5 and
bar at 1.3 cents, and Bessemer $12 at val
ley mills, with billets at $16.50. The av
erage of all quotations is 8?£ per cent
below the highest point in September,
but aetual sales are frequently made be
low quotations. The proposed comblna
1 tlon of lake ore producers has not yet
been effected, and with the fall in the
price of iron Is less probable. There is
more pressure to sell southern pig here
and some large transactions have been
made by concessions, while the ' small
demand has broken the barbed wire com
bination, and the two nail and the two
bar associations nre now in session to
consider their policy. Rails have not
changed, while Bessemer pig has declined
$5 and billets $6 per ton. and a purchase
of 10,000 tons for San Francisco from
Fngland Is noticed, with a considerable
Importation or wire nails at Boston.
Bradstrcet’s Review.
Brad street's tomorrow will say: Gen
et al trade continues the features of pre
ceding weeks—smaller volume, quiet in
most lines, business being conducted
conservatively, activity only among deal
ers in woolens, clothing, shoes and hard
ware and new orders generally of a flil
lng-!n character. The season has evi
dently been a late one, prolonged mild
weather having delayed orders until the
Christmas demand and the belated au
tumn request came together. Notwith
standing almost uniform reports of
quiet and unchanged conditions,it should
be noted that Jacksovlile., Augusta and
Birmingham at the south; Milwaukee,
Kansas City and St. Louis at the west
prove exceptions to the rule by reporting
gains in demand for woolen and staple
goods, compared with the preceding
week.
The falling off of 25 per cent in bank
clearings last week is more than offset
by a lota) of $! 247,000,000 clearings this
week, 43 per cent more than last week, 7
per cent more than tn the first week of
December, 1894. and 11 per cent more
than in 1893.
The course of prices also shows a more
favorable tendency, sugar. Indian corn
mil wheat showing advances: prices of
wheat, flour, pork, rice and tobacco be
ing firm and unchanged, while lower
prices are furnished by oats, lard, coffee,
cotton, print cloths, petroleum, leather,
hides, lumber, coal, southern pig Iron,
Bessemer pig Iron, live hogs and live
cat lie.
The foreign exchange market was dull,
but Arm. at $4.89 for demand bills, but
$3.i00.000 guaranteed has been exported,
$500,000 of the amount going to South
America.

Shooting in Peacock’s Track.
Out near Tat Robison's, on Peacock’s
track, Wednesday night, a negro boy
about 19 years old was shot and fatally
wounded through mistake by another
negro, who mistook-him for a chicken I
thief.
A neighbor, .heard some thief among
his chickens, and two negro men started
to surround the hen house to make sure
his capture. One of the surrounding
party took a double-barreled shotgun
loaded with buck shot. As they passed
around the coop and approached each
other, the negro with the gun mistook
his partner for the thief and shot him,
the whole load passing through and
laying open his bowels. Dr. Henry was
called in last night, and assisted by Dr.
Lamar Law, dressed his wounds, but
with no hope of his recovery. Dr. Henry
says the wound is necessarily fatal, and
the negro may die at any moment. The
negro thief escaped.
The name of the negro shot is Joe
Grattan, and the name of the negro who
did the shooting Is Peter Powell. The
shooting, as stated, occurred Wednesday
night and was on the Starr property on
Peacock’^ track.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The British Ambassador Refuses to Surrender
Said Pasha Upon Demand of the
Porte.
Constantinople, Dec. 6.—The porte has
made a demand upon the British embas
sy for the surrender of Said Pasha, pres
ident of the council of state and for
merly grand vizier, who has taken ref
uge in the embassy because he feared ar
rest, If nothing worse, if he complied
with the sultan's command that he reside
in the palace. The demand has been re
fused by Sir Phillip Currie, the British
ambassador, and Said Pasha Is still un
der the protection of the embassy.
The Report Denied.
London, Dec. 6.—Official information
has been received stating that the report
that France and Russia had withdrawn
from the Europe conceTt relative to Tur
key is wholly unfounded.
Spanish Troops Landed.
Havana, Dec. 6.—The steamer Leon
XIII landed two battalions of troops at
Quanta Namo and Santiago de Cuba
yesterday. Four battalions were also
landed at Calbarien by the steamers
Buenos Ayres and Satrustegui.
China Wants Help.
Paris, Dec. 6.—A dispatch from St Pe
tersburg says that It is reported that
China has asked Russia whether the
Russian government would be willing, if
required to do so, to send an army corps
to help suppress the rebellion in north
China. It is represented that the re
bellion is spreading daily. The rebels
have already overrun the province of
KanSu and captured its captain, Lan
Chu Fu, taking 3000 prisoners and seizing
thirty guns, together with a large quan
tity of provisions, ammunition, etc.
THE SOUTH PRAISEDr
Citizens of Chicago Were Highly Pleased With
What 1 hey Saw,
Chicago, Dec. 6.—Southern hospitality,
southern resources and southern pros
pects occupied the whole time of the
speaker at the banquet of the Chicago
Freight bureau tonight. Incidentally
the Chicago Southern States Cotton ex
position received a big boom and south
ern railways a scathing arraignment for
discriminating against Chicago in Its en
deavor to increase its business facilities
with the merchants of Dixie. The gath
ering was a representative one. Many
of tho leading merchants and business
men of Chicago were present, and enthu
siastic feeling as to the south was abund
ant. President Elliott Durant was the
first speaker. In catling the meeting to
order he said its purpose was to advance
the cause of better business and more
of it with the great country beyond Ma
son and Dixon's line "I believe." said
Mr Durant, "It is in the power of the
character of the freight bureau to lead
the northwest to victory and turn the
balance of the southern trade, amount
ing to many millions, to our city and her
northern neighbors, bringing from the
Isouth In return her cotton, her fruits and
her sugar. Only one thing prevents our
seeing a battery of sugar mills and cot
ton manufactories on the prairies about
■Chicago aided by cheap fuel and super
abundance of provisions, and that one
thing is transportation."
Mr. Durant argued that there was but
one way possible to secure proper trans
portation facilities, and that was to
build a railroad to the south of Chicago.
He contended that such a railroad would
be a paying investment.
At the conclusion of his speech he in
troduced Coi. Henry Turner, who con
ducted the First regiment, Illinois na
tional guard, through the south. Colonel
Turner spoke in glowing terms of the
people and possibilities of the land from
which he has but recently returned.
N. G. Inglart, commissioner of the
freight bureau, followed Colonel Turner.
He spoke at length of the discrimination
practiced by the railroads. “A fair pro
portion,” said he, "of the trade of nine
great states, comprising 12,500,000 people
and 121,000 square' miles of territory—
nearly one-fifth part of the United States
—Is practically a stranger to us on ac
count of the hoggish actions of southern
railroads. This discrimination is two
edgpd—it shuts Chicago out of this great
territory and it prevents that stimula
tion of the southern markets which would
undoubtedly ensue if Chicago had access
to it.”
Malcolm McNeal, secretary of the Chi
cago Southern States association, was
the next speaker, and related the prog
ress made toward a cotton exposition
to be held in Chicago under the auspices
of the southern states. He said he was
in receipt of letters from those in charge
of the preliminary work of the proposed
exposition at Chicago. This work was
now being carried on at Augusta. These
letters show the scheme to be well under
way and the prospects brilliant for its
fulfillment. He indorsed the idea of a
grand trunk line from Chicago to Charles
ton, and said the scheme was by no
means a visionary one.
Secretary Plummer of the freight bu
reau followed In the same lines as his
predecessors, and he was followed by
Secretary Stone of the board of trade,
who pledged the unreserved support of
the hoard of trade to any proposition
which would advance the interests of the
south, which, he believed, were Identical
with those of Chicago.
The following resolution was carried.
Resolved, That the sense of the Chica
go freight bureau this evening heartily
indorses the proposed cotton states ex
position to be held at. Chicago, and that
they will do all they can to make It a
success.

If you have any of these symptomR
