The convention adjourned this after noon sine die, and this city to-night will be empty of the vast concourse attending the largest political convention that ever met in Texas.

RUMORS OF A RUPTURE. The Supposition That Wilson May Succeed Carlisle in the Treasury. • Washington, Aug. 17.—The rumor was freely passed around at the capitol to-day that Secretary Carlisle would retire from the cabinet and that his place would be taken by Mr. Wilson of West Virginia. Os course, no verification or contradic tion of this rumor could be had from the personages themselves, but in discussing the probability of the rumor proving well-founded, one eminent southern con gressman stated that Mr. Carlisle had expressed his opinion that the Senate tariff bill was one of the best measures ever framed, and that, holding these views, Mr. Carlisle must naturally find himself at variance with the expressed expressions of the President.

Augusta, Ga., Aug. 17.—Augusta has been expecting the Atlantic Coast Line for several years, but to-day arrange ments were completed which assures the coming of the road on Sept.

Emerson, traffic manager, and his private secretary; H. M. Emerson, assistant gen eral passenger agent, and R. A. Brand, freight and passenger agent of the line at Sumter, S. C. They were in conference all the morning with General Mana ger T. K. Soott » and other officials of the Georgia railroad. Traffic Manager Emerson was interviewed after the cau cus. All the arrangements had been com pleted, he said, for the entry of the At lantic Coast Line into Augusta, Sept. I. This will mean, Mr. Emerson said, the fastest freight and passenger schedules into Augusta from New York or any point north or east. A through sleeper will come from New York by the fast train, and every comfort known to mod ern railroading will be furnished the patrons of the line. This sleeper will also go on through to Macon, and later it is expected that a through sleeper to New Orleans will be arranged for. The Coast Line will come in on the South Carolina road from Denmark, fifty seven miles, and later on they expect to send their own solid freight and passenger trains to Augusta, but will not build so long as they get satisfactory traffic ar rangements over the South Carolina. SOLD TO PAY STORAGE. Relics of Reconstruction Belonging to Big Boss Bryant. Atlanta?, Ga., Aug. 17.—A rather pecu /Ijar sheriff’s sale attracted a crowd of nh >grq politicians to the court house to-day. ll.wfls the sale of the Office furnishing arid iibfrary of John E. Bryant, the big repub lican boss, who sat on. the throne with Col. A. E, Buck in Georgia up to some ten years ago. Bryant was United States marshal under Grant, and for some years after that a big factor in the politics of the colored brother, of whom he was evidently very fond, judging by the kind of literature that helped to compose his library. In the lot which was stored here ten years ago, when Col. Bryant took up his carpet bag and left for other pastures, arid now sold to pay the storage charges, were some very in teresting records of the reconstruction period. Conspicuous were a lot of bonds of the “Republican joint stock com pany,” which had a capital of $50,000. W. A. Pledger, the well-known negro politi cian, bought the whole collection of relics of the carpetbaggers for $25. MURDERER METHVIN’S BOND. Application for Bail Heared and Re fused by Judge Fish.

Washington, Aug. 17.—A special to the Post from Richmond says: ‘One of the members of the military companies sent to hosslyn last week to drive the Coxey itesoutof Virginia has been discharged by the firm who employed him, for the reason that he went away without their permission. “To-night there was a called meeting of the regiment, and Col.

He added that if the matter were reported to the governor, some punishment might be inflicted upon employers who dis charged soldiers for no other offense than obeying the command of the executive of the state.” For the debilitating effects of August weather, nothing is so good as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.—ad.

A Gratifying Result of the New Tariff Law as Shown in This Branch of Trade—The Pet Industry of the Republicans Boomed by Action of a Democratic Congress. Pittsburg, Aug. 17.—The settlement of the tariff has given an impetus to the de velopment of the black plate and tin plate industries. Plans that have been held in obeyance for months, are now be ing put into effect and.considerable eager ness is displayed to invest money in this direction. B. Goldsmith, a tinplate importer of New York and Portland, Ore., is in Pitts burg and proposes to invest $200,000 in the business in this vicinity. The plans for Mr. Goldsmith’s plant call for four mills, with a capacity Os twenty tons per day. Northen Bros., tinplate manufac turers of Chicago, are said to be nego tiating for the purchase of Oliver’s Fif teenth street mills, the intention being to convert the plant into a black plate and tinplate works. It is also reported that the firm of Mc- Intosh, Hemphill & Co. contemplate en tering into the manufacture of tin plates. Inquiries have been made at'several foundries ajid machine shops for esti mates of cost for equipment of plants for the manufacture of black and tin plates. TIN PLATE WORKS TO OPEN. London, Aug. 17.—Many tinplate works in South Wales, which have been closed for a time, are preparing to resume work in view of the passage of the Gorman tariff bill in Washington. THE GREAT STRIKE. Examination of Witnesses by the In vestigating Commission. Chicago, 111., Aug. 17. —The strike com mission’s investigations to-day developed an enthusiastic disciple of Bellamy in the 'person of Roy W. Goodwin, a director of tht American Railway Union. Goodwin, aiter a long examination regarding the recent strike, declared that such troubles could be avoided by nationalizing rail roads and all other extensive corportioiis and' industries? He declared he was a •‘Bellamylte,'!’ and believed that the United States should be conducted after the manner laid down by the author of “Looking Backward.” Prof. E. W. Bemis, associate professor of political economy in Chicago Univer sity, was also a witness. He advocated, as a strike preventive, a national and per manent board of arbitration. Prof. Bemis cited the Massachusettes board of arbitration as an evidence of the good effect that such an organization would have, but said that a national arbitration board should have a wider scope and be endowed with greater powers than the Massachusetts board. Prof. Bemis said he had studied the great railroad strike and the causes, and he was very closely questioned by the comissioners. A num ber of railroad employes were examined, all of whom testified to having applied for work in different parts of the country since the strike, only to discover that they had been blacklisted because of the part they had taken in the boycott affair: A noticeable feature of the strike in vestigation, which is being conducted in the absence of the representatives of the railroads or employers, is that the audience which gathers is just large enough to fill every seat in the rear of the room, but is composed of labor represent atives and their friends. ’ FIRE CHIEFS’ MEETING. The Next Year’s Session Will Be Held ’ , at Augusta.

SENSATIONAL SLUGGING. Atlanta Business Man Indulge Their » -Pugilistic Propensities. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 17.—The candidacy of Judge George F. Gober* of the Blue Ridge -ircuit for a place on the supreme court bench was the cause of a sensa tional fight in which Stephen A. Ryan, • the young dry goods merchant who failed,‘leaving a million in liabilities and not much assets to meet them, -three years ago, and wfio was sent to jail for contempt of court by Judge Gober because he failed to show what had become of all the moneys- that passed through his hands, remaining there over a year, was the aggressor. Gus Long, a well known man about town, the bead of a de partment in the dry goods house of M. Rich & Bros, was the other party to the fight, which occurred at Jones’ livery stable on Forsyth street. All the parties.ipade a strong pull to suppress the affair, but to-day the facts came out, andjtyi-tn and Long were sum mbned to appear in police court on a charge of disorderly conduct. Mr. Long, it develops, bdd been circulating a petition among business men and mercbaats, indorsing Judge Gober for the supereme bench. Who or what prompted his interest in the case-does not appear as yet, but in urging Judge Gober’s fitness, Mr. -Long-miMeVa .strong point of his ..action *ih case.. He argued to the merchants that Judge Gober was a friend to thd Sereditor classes, and had shown a specirit act of fridndiiqss toward the merchants, in sending Steve Ryaru to jail, thus-putting a veto upon his courses while they lasted, played ha voc wit h the regular trade. This fdi’t came to Ryan’s ears, and he deter mined to .resent it.- He cherishes no good fOelm#’toward Judge- Gober ijx any light. In’,fact, there have been reports in circulation recently, that he would en deavor to impeach Judge Gober. Friends Qf 'Mr. Ryan also say that he has several times contemplated seeking personal sat- :■ isfaction Os Judge Gober. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Long met acciden tally in Jones’ stable. Ryan at once ap proached Long and demanded to see the petition be* was circulating. Then they had hot words about it. Ryan claims that Long excused his referring to his (Kyan’a) imprisonment by Gober by saying that everybody knew Gober was a scoundrel and thief anyhow, but he wanted to "work’’ him in the interest of a friend. Both men are of athletic build. Ryan struck ,-tfae first blow,-, hitting Long in the face. Before he could repeat the attack bystandOrs interfered. ’fThe affair has been the talk of the town to-day.

Macon, Ga., Aug. 17.—Tobe Wesley of Twiggs county came to Macon to-day to buy a coffin for his 7-year-old son who was crushed to death, by* a huge snake late Thursday afternoon. The boy had gone to the field with his fatherand, while-his father was at work, wandered off a short distance arid climbed a muscadine vine, as was often his habit. On being unable to find the boy when he had finished his work about sundown, the father went to the house expecting to find him there, but was informed by his wife that the boy had not been home since he left for the fields with . his father. Without feeling any uneasiness, Wesley, know ing the habit of his boy went back to the field, which was on the edge of a dense swamp, bordered with muscadine vines, and began searching the vines where he had last seen his son going. By looking up in the vines he was not long in finding him, but when ne called the boy failed to answer. After calling two or three times atld receiving.no answer the father shook the vine, arid to -his greht' ‘honor saw what he had supposed to be one of the branches of the vine that was supporting his son begin to uncoil. Realizing that his son was in the coil of a huge snake, Wesley stood like he was rooted to the spot, and before he could recover his senses the snake completely uncoiled, and as the boy fell to the ground, a ’distance of nine or ten feet, Wesley picked him up and ran from under the vines to the clearing. There his worst fears were realized, as his child was dead. Gn being-carried to the house and further examination made, it was found that the child’s breast had been crushed and that its tongue and eyes were protuding as though he had been choked to death. Wesley is of the i opinion that the boy was asleep when the snake coiled about him and the branch of the vine at the same time and gradually crushed his life but. Wesley does not know what kind of a snake it was, as he did not- see jt after his son fell. Diaaster-Eollpws. , « When liver tratble ts neglected.

Definite Warrant for Hopefulness in the Trade Outlook, Dun’s Weekly Trade Review Shows Increased Transactions in Manufac tured Ootton Goods, Resumption in Many Iron and Steel Works Closed by the Strike, and General Encour agement by Recent Action at Wash ington-Gold and Silver—The Week’s Failures. New York, Aug. 17.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: “The new tariff bill, if signed by the President as expected, provides a definite basis for business. No supplemental leg islation is thought possible till next year at least. Large improvement has been expected from any settlement, the more ■ because of a vast amount of business de [ ferred from week to week in the hope of ‘ niore definite conditions. ' ‘ “While it is not wise to look for a great boom there is warrant for a reasonable and prudent hopefulness. “It is too early, to look for the effects of the new situation in the great mdtistries, but the gradual recovery which has ap peared for some time is seen in a better demand for product. “Cotton manufacturers have been car rying extraordinary stocks of goods for the country, and the strike threatened at New Bedford will not alarm them, but the reduction of wages seems likely to be accepted at Fall River. A smart increase in transactions is reported, buyers and sellers having at last a common basis for judgment. ■"Resumption by iron and steel works which were stopped by the strikers con tinues to depress the prices of some fin ished products, but with more furnaces ; operating prices of pig iron are not lower. | Comparisons given to-day show a fall in 1 prices ranging from 20 to 44 per cent, in iron, and its products since October, 1890, which sufficiently accounts for the idle ness of more than a third of the works. The demand for structural , forms seems smaller, and, *does not in crease for railroad uses, though traffic improves, but the demand for some other products is better. The boot and shoe industry leads ail others in its recovery from the depression. Unless exports increase speedily and largely,the financial situation may grow difficult. In July iffipbrts exceeded exports $12,537,914, .mainly because of the heavy sugar move ment. With lower duties the arrival of merchandise to meet the long delayed demand will be large, while even phenomenally low prices do not take out ' products freely at present. In July $12,801,080 in . gold* went abroad to balance the importation of goods, but the outgo has ceased, because exports have materially enlarged. The striking feature this week is the strong increase in the demand for commercial loans, deferred operations of all sorts being encouraged by action at Washing ton. Silver is also stronger because of the eastern demand, which the war in China is expected to prolong. “The liabilities of firms failing in the week ending Aug. 9 are a little larger than of late, and amount to $6,294,689, of which $1,041,491 were of manufacturing and $1,608,198 of trading concerns. Full returns for July show an aggregate of $11,291,305. The failures this week have been 226 in the United States, against 455 last year, and 45 in Canada, against 27 last year.'” BRADSTREET ON BUSINESS New York, Aug. 17.—Bradstreet’s to morrow will sky: “Special telegraphic and mail advices suniiriari ing Interviews with more than 500 leading wholesale dealers and manufaeturers at forty-seven cities throughout the country, as to the present effect, if any, of the prospective tariff settlement and the outlook as to effect of the Senate tariff - bill, should it become a law, indicate relatively less enthusiasm at large eastern centers, ex cept at New York and Baltimore. SATISFIED AT THE SOUTH. “Almost uniform satisfaction is noted throughout the southern states, and simi lar advices come from the central and northwestern states,except where serious crop damage has taken place. In the west little interest is manifested in tariff legis lation, especially at Denver and Helena, where silver attracts most attention, Portland fears the result of the reduction of the tariff on lumber, but at San Fran cisco an improvement in demand is ex pected and considerable freight is offer ing for shipment to China. “A feature is found in declarations from manufacturers of woolen goods, glasswaqe, pottery and iron and steel at various centers of production that wages will probably be reduced. “Aside from probable improvement due to ending the uncertainty in business, neither Boston, Providence. Buffalo, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Newark or Rochester merchants interviewed express noteworthy enthusiasm as to trade pros pects. “While no gain is reported in trade cir cles at southern cities several thousand coal strikers have gone back to work in the Birmingham district, several southern railways are calling for more coal, and southern iron works are shipping more iron than a year ago. It is reported that Atlanta hardware jobbers based recent prices on the Wilson bill, and the orospec tive passage of the Senate bill will make a difference, in profits in consequence.

Good Prices Received for the Fruit. Candler, Fla., Aug. 17.—The heat for the past week or ten days has been terrible. The mercury reaches 100° al most every day. W. E. Bigelow & Co. of Cleveland and Colujnbus, 0., through-their agents here Messrs. Barnes &, McCormick, have pucched almost the entire lemon crop of this section which had no.t been already sold.

A Much-loved Veteran of Two War* Dies at Albany. Albany, Ga., Aug. 17.—The illness of Col. W. A. Harris of Worth county, of which information was given yesterday, terminated fatally this morning, from .pneumonia, brought on from exposure while in attendance upon the state con vention, "' ' ... I The news of the grand old man’s death will be heard with regret over the entire state of Georgia, for no mah was better known than he on account of. his long in cumbency in the position of secretary of . the state Senate, which probably ex,, tended over a period of twenty years: Maj. Harris was about 68 years of age, and was a veteran 1 of both the Mexi*\ can and civil wars. He was one of the bravest of brave men, and andw.oa his spurs for gallantry in both conflicts. He had been a resident of Worth county for many years and so closely has he been identified with the county’s affairs that he was styled “King of Wbrth,” which he well deserved because of the bound less influence which he nad in the county. Maj. Harris’ life is a part,of the history . of the state and volumes could be written detailing the rich variety of his career. Mai. Harris had .been twice married, but he leaves only his wife to feel the bit terness of his death. His remains will be intered at Isabella to-morrow. Mrs. M. F. Mallory, one of the oldest and most highly respected ladies of Albany, died at a late hour last night. Her remains were interred this afternoon. For several months past this city has been short on water and it has been de, cided to put in a big artesian well at( water works station, and an air lift pump to cost $3,000, and,to pay for by another bond issue.". The pump will ba furnished by the Frictxonless Metal Com* pany of Richmond, Va., who are already placing a pump in position to demonstrate what it will do in advance of action ou the. bonds. The vfrater supply of the city, if the guarantee of the pump company is made good, will be 1,000,500 gallons daily. THE SIXTH GEORGIA. Fraud and Chicanery Charged ill Nominating Whitaker. Macon, Ga., Aug. 17 If a prominent populist of this city is to be believed, all is not serepe with the populists of the Sixth congressional district concerning the nomination of W. S. Whitaker of Pike county for congress. In fact, to use the words of the aforementioped populist, ‘•There is h-- to pay.” . The trouble, it seems, grows out of the fact that Whitaker only received 11V votes, which was a majority of the votes cast, but that, according to the rules of the convention, 14 votes were necessary to a choice. As the majority ruled, however, Whitaker was de clared nominated. The same populist says that the Pike county delegation, which nominated Whitaker resorted to unfair methods and chicanery to bring about the nomination of Whitaker, one of their methods being to persuade the dele gates present to give Whitaker a compli mentary vote, assuring them that it would be impossible to nominate Whitaker. After a majority of the delegates had promised to give him a complimentary vote without the knowledge of one an other, the balloting was called for, and Whitaker received HU votes on. the first ballot, or enough, as the majority ruled, to nomihate him. Three counties in the district were not represented at the convention. Iverson L. Harris, the defeated candidate for the nomination, denies the report, and says there is noth ing in it. Whitaker was’in the city to day. and it is reported, spent the day in trying to straighten out the muddle. t STOLE THE BOOKS. Systematic Effort to Get Names Os People of the A. P. A. St. Louis. Mo., Aug. 17.—A. D. Patrick's residence has been entered during the absence of the family and the books of Council No. 1, American Protec tive Association, stolen. Patrick’s son. Albert, is secretary of the council, and the purloined books were in his custody. Nothing was taken but the books. This theft, following the raid upon an Ameri can Protective Association meeting place and the hold-up of another secretary, makes it look as if a systematic effort was being made to get the names of everybody in the order here.
