A number of the trustees. alumni, and professors have contributed $150 as a deficiency fund, and every indication points to the establishment of a bright, weekly paper.

The board of editors will be chosen from the student body, one from each department, and the excellent material in the different schools promises well for its literary nierit. A meeting of the students of the Corcoran Scientific School to form class organization will take place to-night in University Hall. The advantage of an organization in this school has long been apparent, and at a meeting held last year the most active participante in this scheme determined to form such a society, and appointed a committee on permanent organization, in whose hands the plans for the object were placed. At this last meeting the constitution and bylawssubmitted by the chairman on the above committee were discussed. and with one or two amendments unanimously adopted.

The meetings are to be held every three weeks, and at the next, on November 2, the officers will be elected for the year and a name for the society determined upon.

Smith, who lives at No. 18 street northwest, was arrested this morning on a warrant sworn out by Edward M. Pine, a real estate agent at No. 1320 street northwest, charging him with the embezzlement of various sums of money. Smith was arraigned before Judge Miller, and on the motion of Cook Sutherland, his attorneys, was released $500 bail, and the case continued until next Wednesday, the 23d instant.

Smith has been employed by Pine for about six months and during that time has served in the capacity of a collector for the East Deanwood Land Company, of which Mr. Pine is the general manager. About five weeks ago Mr. Pine was contpelled to go to New York on business, and during his absence Smith was put in temporary control of the office and collected all moneys due the company, a great deal of which, according to the statements made by the proprietor, he has failed to account for. MR.

PINE'S STATEMENT. Mr. Pine was seen by a reporter to-day and made the following statement: "Smith came to me about six montha ago and asked for employment. He represented that he had formerly been employed by Howard F. Johnson, the real estate agent, and brought other references.

I gave him a position as collector for the East Deanwood Land Company, and It was his duty tomake a collection of themonthly installments upon lots suld by the company in this sub-division. "For that purpose a book is given each customer, and the amounts paid by them are credited to their account, opposite to which is attached the signature of the agent making the collection. About five weeks ago I was compelled to go to New York on a matter of business, and left the office under Smith's control, with instructions that he should remit to me in New York the various amounts collected. "Among other things, I left him five deeds, which had been executed by the company, and were to be delivered to various parties upon the payment of a certain amount of money. These Smitb was authorized to deliver.

"My business in New York kept me for a longer time than I expected, and needing money I wrote to Smith to remit me all he had collected. I was very much surprised to receive a letter from him a few days later stating that up to that time he had failed to collect a cent, and stated that the parties had all promised to pay by a certain time when he would send the money. HIS SUSPICION AROUSED. "I waited a reasonable length of time and failing to hear from Smith wrote another letter, getting about the same reply that the parties couldn't pay. "My suspicions were aroused, so I sent out a number of letters to the supposed delinquents and was surprised to get letters from them stating that they bad paid Mr.

Smith the sums of money which I had claimed were overdue. I communicated these facts to my attorney in this city, and requested him to take the keys of the office from Smith, and at the same time wrote to the clerk discharging him and warning him that I did not want to bave any further business relations with him. this warning he continued to represent himself as my agent, and made other collections, all of which he appropriated to his own 080. I came on to Washington yesterday from New York and determined to have an order issued for his arrest. I have received a score of letters from various parties since my arrival in the city, all of them claiming to have paid Smith various sums during my absence.

"I also have evidence that the man opened several registered letters containing money during my absence and extracted the contents of Smith was arrested by Detective Boyd early this morning on New York avenue and North Capitol streets and taken to the police station. He is a man about fortyfive years old and has A a wife and two children living in this city. PRETTY GENERAL SLUMP. Weak Market Was Somewhat of Surprise to the Speculators. New York, Oct.

stock market after the opening was weak and lower on sales for both accounts. The decline in prices ranged from 3-8 to 1 5-8 per cent. and nearly every stock on the list participated in the downward movement. The weakness of the market was a diaappointment to the street, it having been expected that the decline in sterling exchange which settles the question of gold exports for the moment and the slump in cotton this morning would have a good effect on stocks. The reverse proved true, bowever, and the share speculation was absolutely without support.

Capital is always seeking safe and profitable In most inviting feld to-day is cotton manufacturing in the South, There is probably no woll-mAnaged mill in the South that is earning leas than 10 per cent. net prodt, and most of them are doing much better. Very Cotton Mills in the many are earning from 20 to 25 per cent, In the face of the general depression of South earning 10 the record last for few any years, investment this is a phenomenal to 25 per cent. At present there are 85,000,000 cotton spindles in the world, The South furnishes the raw material for over one-halt of them, producing over 60 per cent. of the annual crop of the world, while it has only 3,000,000 spindles, or about 4 per cent.

of the total number in the world. The South's cotton now shipped from 1,00) to 3,000 miles to mills in New England and Great Britain, is manufactured in mills where coal costs from $3.50 a ton and over, and where living is expensive. The tendency of this industry is now southward, because of the unequalled advantages of this section. No other industry promises such sure and certain returns on the investment. The Newport News Cotton Manufacturing Co.

Offer to investors, both to large and small (and, indeed, particularly to small) fuvestors, an opportunity which promises the most profitable returns. The Newport News Cotton Maunfacturing Company is organized on the co-operative plan, with an authorized capital of par value of the shares $100, payable 82 per share at the time of subscription, and 82 per share monthly until paid.

There is probably no better location in the United States for a cotton mill than Newport News The population of the town is about 10,000, while at Hampton and surrounding points there are about 10,000 more, thus furnishing an abundant supply of good operatives, Newport News being one of the largest coal sipplug points in the United States, the best steam coal can be had at a minimum cost West Virginia coal can be laid down at less than $260 a ton against $3.60 a ton which is paid by many of the most successful mills in North Carolina.

Its location furnishes abundant transportation facilities by which to draw cotton by water from all Southern points, as well as for shipment of the finished product to any part of the world.
