HI Kill) a. C. Artbur \Vaa Kxonoratcri of all Klamo in tbe Sad Shooting Accident. Robert C. Powell, the unfortunate youth who was fatally shot Saturday ?evening at tho Roanoko Wood Novelty Works by N. C. Arthur, died at tho home of his paronts, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Powell, at 1007 Soventh avenuo s. e., Sunday morning. His remains were burled at 11 o'clock yesterday at the city cemetery in the nrosonco of a largo number of sympathizing friends and acquaintances of the family. Young Arthur, who accidently fired the fatal skiot, was examined before Police JuBtir.o Turner Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, when it was clearly shown tnat the affair was purely accidental, and he was liberated. Tho testimony as brought out at the examination was as follows: Arthur, who Is watchman of tho Novelty Works, was Instructed Saturday by Mr. Nicholson, the manager, to go to the plant and put some swings together for shipment On his way he, remem? bering that the shop needed cleaning up, employed John Prico, colorod, to sweep out tho building On entering tho shop he saw young Powell playing ball near by and called him over, saying that ho wanted him to work. After the work had been completed and the negro was sweeping olf the steps, Arthur was sitting at the desk writing and noticed tbe gun in the corner near by. He arose and was examining it, holding tho muzzle high up when Powell, who had boon standing around in tho office talking for some time, grabbed hold of the muzzle of the gun and pulled it down. The hammer by some means caught oither on Arthur's hand or coat sleeve and went off with the result stated.

Condition of Great Industries Distinctly Mended. More Work? Bavo Resumed During tho Past U i'i'li i him Have Stopped Opera? tions?Tito Premium on Currency Has Almost Vanished?Uiislnt-ss Failures and the State of Trade in General. Nrcw YoHK.Sept 11.?E.G. Dun&Co.'s wcckiv review of trade says: linprovo ment has extended from tho banks to the mill6. The condition of great industries has distinctly meuded, though still seri? ously depressed. More important by far than yj^rs^Fise iu stooks Is tho fact that more works have resumed during the past week than have stopped operation, so that the producing forcu of the country, after months of constant decline, has begun to incrcuse. It is expected that inmost of the Kall River mills will start soon, the bands assenting to reduced wnges. The money markots are more healthy, the premium on currency has almost van? ished, tho embarrassments in domestic ex? changes ha vo woll nigh disappeared, and while very little money is yet available for commercial or industrial loans, thero is some relief in that, rospect also. It was time for some improvement. Sept. 1 the output of iron furnaces in blast was only 65,510 tons weekly, against 107,042 Auk. 1 und 181.WS1 May 1, so that much less than half tho producing force was en? gaged, and jot the manufacture was so stagnant i hat unsold stocks of pig iron in? creased 22,000 tons a week in August. It is stated that further redactions iu the out? put have lx-en made since September be? gan. The Thomas Iron company has reduced its price for pig iron fifty oents, but somo other concerns ure selling standard No. 1 much lower?at S14 per ton. Soft steel has reached tho lowest point on record, $20 at Pittsburg, and substantially all rail mills in the country nre idle, but there is a somewhat better demand for hardware, wire rods, barbed wire, and contracts for architectural work and agricultural im? plements supplies are reported at Chicago. While mntmy markets have greatly im? proved, they are yet far from the normal condition, and the crops are in doubt. The prospects for corn have not improved, and the injury done by drought seems to in? sure n much smallur yield than was ex? pected. The price during the week has advanced fully JJ9c. Western receipts of wheat have also been only 11.375,557 bush? els for the week, against 7,829,054 bushels last year, and as accounts of short crops abroad grow more definite the prico here bus strengthened fully lc. Exporte for tire week have been only 2.100,723 bushels, agniust 3,473,758 for tho same wuek last year. Cotton bus advanced to 8 cents, with as I surance thct anew treasury arrangement will facilitate tho supplies of money for moving tho crop. Aftor touching 8 cents I the price bus fallen a sixteenth, und crop reports are still favorable on the whole in spite of the damage by the storm in South Carolina. That the volume of trade has been small of late is not surprising. Exchanges through tiro the principal clearing housos, outside New York, continue to show a large decrease in comparison with last year. The monetary situation has changed but little, for there has been abundance of money, and only confidence iu employing it is lacking. The stock market has been somowhat weaker during tho latter pnrt of tho week, with considerable realization of profits, and more attention is paid to railwny earn? ings, which thus far show a decrease of 12.8 per cent, for August. The average, price of active stocks,rising &t per share an Tuesday, has gradually declined. Failures for tho week have been only 323 iu nhmbar, against 333 last week and 430 for the week preceding, and 25 iu Canada against 33 for the name week last year.

That tbe election In tho First ward was Illegal because the colored reglt ratlon books woro lost; That the registrars in some of the v irds had no right to close tho regis? tration ten days previous to the election as this was a special and not a general election. That the registrars in some of tho wards acted as challengers, which waB Illegal. That the polls were closed too early in one ward, and That non residonts of the city woro allowed to vote. Other charges will also be made to provo the election illegal.. It has also been stated that an application for li? cense will be made, which will, of course, be refused and an appeal will be taken on the grounds that the election was not legal and the fight bo made in the cir? cuit court.

ORNING, SEPTEMBEI TELLER, THE OBSTRUCTIONIST, Yet to Finish the Speech Began in the Senate Saturday. He Given Way for n While to Pugh. Who Talks for Two nml One-half Hours Against the Kepcnl Hill -The Chap? lain of the House Prays for the Child Which Has Gladdened the Nation ami the Home ami Heart of the Chief Magistrate. Washington, Sept. 11.?The senior Senator from New York broko oil to? day from his imputed alliance with tbo extreme wing of tho silver Senators. Stowart of Nevada, oflerod a resolution for an ii ;uiry into tho fact of Senators being ? wrkholders in national banks. Hill o| rosed tho resolution in a strong speech r.s being unnecessary and un preoed. r .ed and a gross reflection on the Senate. Tho resolution went over until to- morrow, when it will come up In the regular morning business. The bill for tho repeal of the purchas? ing clauses of the Sherman law was taken up and Pugh, a minority member of the finance committee, made a two anda-baif -hours' speech against it, declaring at tho close that it was the determ r\<id and unalterablo purpose of the op. onents of repeal to oppose It until t eir physical strongth was ex haustt _.r.nd their power of spoechgone. The remainder of the session was occu? pied in a continuanco of Teller's speech against tho bill. He did not conclude, but said he would take ud another phase of J the question on some other day?no*to morrow. When tho Senate proceedings opened there were just ton Democratic Senators (including Voorhees) in their chair seats while on the Republican side of the ohatnber there were sixteen in their seats. In presenting some petitions in favor of tho free coinage of silver PeiTor s^'.id he noticed that thoro was a general impression in tho newspaper presto' tho country that when a Sena? tor or P prcsontative introduced a bill by rein: st ho was hold personally re? sponse; -i for its contents. His attention had boon called to that fact recently by criticisms of himself which ho found in the < 'wspapers because he intro? duced 1 ???? week at the request of tbo author bill proposing tho establish? ment of ? university in tho District of Columb: i He did not think such citicism :*ir. When Stewart introduced his resolu? tion for the appointment of a committee of Ovo S aators to inquire whether any Senator >a- boon a stockholder or directly .ndirectly interested in any nationa' bank, he said ho was led to offer it -.nso the Lombard Street and other ",?.''.'. ?o been claiming that Senators from tho silver States should not vote on matters in which they were personally interested. At tho same time he disdained having any personal Interest In silvor mining, nor has be bad for the last fifteen years. His wife had some years ago invested some money in an abandoned silver mine in Mexico, but that mine, after having had tho water pumped out, was again closed on account of the low price of silver and wo jld never bo opened again if the repeal bill became a law. Hill opposed the resolution as some? thing unprecedented and unheard of and which would not serve any good purpose He admitted that it had its excuse iu the suggestions made that Senators from the silvor States were actuated in their cDiirse by reason of their own financial or industrial in? terest. What precedent, ho asked, would bo established by the adoption of the resolution-.' When tho Senate came to consider the silvor question was it to have an investigating com? mittee to inquire what Senators wore interested in manufacturosor importing'.' Whon the Sonate came to legislate on commercial matters, was it to inquire what Senators were pecuniarily intt r es ted in the question of commerce'.' Senators had a right to bo interested ? both directly and indirt ctly?in matters of finance, and their votes could not be affected thereby, llo could not resist the conclusion that tho offering of the resolution was, to some extent, a rotlec ti n on the Senate. He had sustained, tho other day, the Senator from Nevada, in offering a reso? lution calling for information as to tho finances of the country. He had thought that that resolution ought not to be re? ferred to tho finance comniittoo; but thlB resolution was different. It should be either voted down or referred to tho financ3 committee. When the silver bill camo up at 1 p. m. the floor belonged to Toller, butho offered to yield it to Pugh. The latter embraced tho opportunity and addressed the Senate in opposition to tho bill. Ho had read and roroad, he said, tho men age of the President convening Congress, and found it to be an explicit declara? tion in favor of the maintenance of tho gold standard in tho currency of tho United States until changed to bimetal? lism by international agreement and that would afford tho only remedy that could "mitigate the present danger threatening tho future." Referring to the national banks Pugh acauBed them of arraigning themselves in open hostility to silver and silver cer? tificates, and of doing everything in their power to discredit both in utter disregard of thelaw of thodeclared pub? lic policy of the United States. If a friend of tho free coinago of silver, be said, had been in tho Presi? dential office at the time of the passage of the Sherman law a bill for the free coinage of silver at the existing ratio would be the law at this hour and with no danger of its being repoaled and if Cleveland were known to bo willing to approve a bill for tho free coinage of silvor on some reasonable ratio such a bill would become law at the presont session. An unconditional repeal of the Sherman law would necessarily remand silver back whore it was under tho act of 1S73 and whero it was in all gold ubing countries. In conclusion Pugh said: "It is tho t 12, 1893 PR dotorminod and unalterable purpose of the opponents of ropeal to stand upon th9 convictions of public duty and ildol Ity to tbeir pledges to the people whom thoy represent and who have honored them with their confidence on the vital question until physical strength is ex? hausted, and the power of speech is left to no Sonator to provont tho success of the conspiracy denounced by John (i. Carlisle as equal in its consequence to war, pestilence or famine." Pugh finished his BDoech at 3:30, hav ing spoken for oxactly two hours and a half. Teller resumed tho floor and his ' to bo continued" speech was continued until nearly ."> o'clock. While he was making an argument to show that the proceedings in tho New York stock ex? change had much to do with tho good or tho bad times, Toller mado a long pause which Voorhoes rightly inter? preted as a signal that he wished to stop and so Voorhees proposed a session for executive business. Before giving way for that motion, however, Teller said that he would not have an opportunity of going on to-mor? row, that two other Senators had given notice of an intention to address the Senate and that he had reached a point where he could quit for tl o proaent. llo would take up another po n-. in the caso some other day. The Senate at 5:05 atter a short ex? ecutive session adjourned until to-mor? row. in the uouse. There were loss than 100 members present when the House was called to order at noon to-day. In his prayer the chaplain prayed for the cbild which had gladdened the nation and the home and the heart of the chief magistrate of the country. Ho Invoked the divine protection on both mother and child, and prayed that the little one would grow up with every grace and womanly virtue. In view of tho cyclones which have recently devasted the South Carolina coast the Immediate consideration of a joint resolution appropriation of S200, 000 was asked for to enabio tho Secre? tary of War to purchase rations and medicines and distributo them among the sufferers from tho August cjelones along tho South Atlantic coqst. Kil goro objected, and tho joint resolution was roferred to tho committee on ap? propriations. Richardson, from tho eommitteo on printing, reported back tho resolution providing that all documents and books ordered by tho Fifty second Congress and remaining undistributed at thiH time shall bo distributed araonjr the members of the Fifty-third Congress. Richardson said that unless the resolu? tion was adopted tho documents which were published beforo the first Monday in December would bo distributed to members who had retired on the 4th of March and not to the sitting members. Tho resolution was adopted. Tho Speaker called the committees for reports, but the only one that fell into the hopper was one authorizing the Secretary of tho Treasury to settle the claims between the United States and Florida. It was made from the eom? mitteo on claims and it was placed upon the private calandtr.

Tho New York Syndicate Vncht Now Has Two or ihr rrial Knees and Will Prob? ably be Chosen a-* the Cup Defender. The Pilgrim ami Jubilee Have Hard I.tick and Are Seriously Handicapped at the Start?One of the Finest Karen of the Series. New York, Sept. 11.?The third trial race for tho honor of defending tho American cup has boon won by tho Vig ilant. For the second time the Now York syndicato boat crossed the finish line Hrst. Colonia, Jubilee and Pilgrim finished in the order named. It w:is Colonia weather to day and tho friends of that boat were hopeful. There was a cracking thirty mile breeze from the points northeast. Tho course was fifteen miles to the wind? ward and return. Tho Vigilant won by six minutes and nine seconds. When tho starting gun boomed across the water the Vigilant and Colonia woro a little to the westward of the lighuuip- ? The former crossed the lattors bow close hauled on the starboard tack'and then dashed (or the line beforo the smoke of the starting gun had cleared away. The Vigilant led, closely shaving tho western mark. One length astern and a trifle to windward camo the Colonia, both of tbem luffing a little as they crossed to flatten in thoir sheets. To the surprise of everyone the J ubi'.ee and Pilgrim were two miles to leeward of the line, standing to the southward on the port tack and caring very little for the handicap gun, then but two minutes off. On stood the leaders now almost a mile away tho others apparently unoencernod on the port tack. Not until the handicap gun sounded did the Boston boats deign to go about and stand for the line reach? ing there fully seven minutes behind the handicap gun. Tho Pilgrim led over with the Jubilee a trifle astern and to leeward. TheJubiloe outsailed the Pilgrim, but was twice in trouble with her sails. On tho first turn the Vigilant, on the wind beat the Colonia seven min? utes and two seconds, tho.lubi.ee five minir.es and two seconds and the Pil? grim twenty minutes and oleven soconds. As soon as the yachts were well cloar of the mark they boitan to get their top masts on ond, for the wind had light? ened considerably and the sea was not so high. Tho Vigilant was the first to holst her spar, lowering tho boom and sotting her spinnaker. A few seconds later sho set her balloon jib topsails. The Colonia followed the Vigilant's lead in hoisting her top masts and, breaking out her spinnaker balloon jib toDsall and later her club topsail. In the run before the wind totntr finish the Colonia gained on Ml the other yachts. She boat the Vigilant five seconds, the Jubiloe three minutes fifty-nine seconds, and the Pilgrim five minutes three-tenths seconds. Over the entire course tho Vigilant beat the Colonia six minutes forty-three seconds, tho Jubilee eight minutes nineteen, seconds, and tho Pilgrim twenty-three minutes thirty-three seconds. The Jubileo was handicapped by a series of accidents and what she would have done had everything held, is only conjecture. Tho Colonia was well handled, had no accidents and sailed a good race, but that sho was no match for tho Vigilant was plain. The result of tho race gives the Vigi I lant two of the trial raco cups and the Jubileo and Pilgrim none. Tho motn bers of the American cup committeo are pleased at tho performance of the Vigi? lant and will probably name her as their choice to meet Lord Dunravon's Valkyrio. _ Itrltaunla Defeats the Navahoe for tho Third Time. Rydk, Isi.k <>??? Wiqut, Sept. 11.?The third race for the Interstate gold cup, postponed from Friday, was sailed to-day, the start being made an 11 :u5 in a strong wind from the southeast. Tho Britannia and Navahoe crossod the lino together, tho liritannia being to wind ward. Down to Nab lightship the yachts kept well togeteer. Tbo Navahoe rounded tbo lightship first but the Britannia had the inside position. The Britannia rounded tho mark boat at 1:03 and the Navahoe at 1:32. Tho Britannia won by fifteen minutes. The Brittania, as winner of the first three rae s out of ti.e the provided lor in the conditions made by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club now holds tho l'500 gold cup without need of further eon test. Tho races for tho Capo May and Brouton's reef cups carried away from America by the Oenesta in 1SS."> will bo sailed to-morrow and Wednesday. Appointments and Continuations.
