Thirl* ThonanS Psnnds of Fal la the Fire
—A Hear Pile af Baras la Flaaiea.
Yesterday morning, about three o’clock,
the watchman at the Bell Tower discov
ered flames issuing from the top of the
brick smoke house of Messrs. J. F. k L.
J. Miller. >a re*r of tbflr store on Broad
street. He at once sounded the alarm
and the Fire Department hastened to
the spot. It was discovered that the
entire mass of bacon in the smoke honse,
over thirty thousand pounds in all, was
on fire and burning fiercely. It was, in
fact, a monster barbecue not down on
the bills. Water was turned on and the
smoke house doodad. The flames were
soon extinguished, but the greater por
tion of the Bacon had already been badly
damaged. It had probably been burn
ing for hours, as people in the neigh
borhood perceived the cdor of frying
meat early in the nighty The meat, dry
salt sides, had been placed in the smoke
house, which is a tall, sqnare brick fnn
nel, to be smoked, and a smoke bad
been made for that pnrpose. It is evi
dent, therefore, that the meat canght fire
in this way. It was suspended to beams,
all of which were destroyed by the fire.
The loss of the Messrs. Miller is abcnt
one thousand dollars.
THE CONVENTION.
warn Ilaa. Uetrit R* WW* Tblaks Abaat
Its Artiaa Several Palais.
Hon, George R. Sibley arrived in the
oity yesterday, on a short leave of ab
sence from the Convention. He will
retnrn to Atlanta this evening. A re
porter of the Chboniclb and Comsttc
tionalist conversed with him last even
ing in reference to the Convention.
Reporter: How long will the Conven
tion probably be in session, Mr. Sibley?
Mr. Sibley: Hardly longer than the
Ist of August. The disposition is to
perform the work without unnecessary
delay.
Reporter: How does the Convention
stand on the capital question ?
Mr. Sibley: The feeling seem* to be to
submit that question to the people, not
at the same time with the Constitution,
bat at the next election ensuing. The
great majority of the delegates favor
Milledgeville.
Reporter : Will the Legislature be re
duced iu numbers?
Mr. Sibley : There is hardly a doubt
about that. Some of the members are
iu favor of twenty five Senators and one
hundred Representatives. Others want
twenty-five Senators and seventy-five
Representatives. Nobody speaks of
having the session! of the Legislature
oftener than biennially. Ah yet, how
ever, there has been no discussion, and
can be none until the committees re
port.
At iln? Lower .Market.
Yesterday morning there was a very
good display of vegetables, fraits, oto.,
except watermelons and cintelonpes.
At the afternoon market them was a
limited supply of eatables offered, yet
the market and vicinity presented its
usual Saturday afternoon activity. We
give retail prices below:
Egg plants wore 3 for 25c.; squashes,
12$al5c. per doz.; snap-beans, 7se. per
qt.; cucumbers, 10a. per doz.; tomatoes,
7so. per qt.; cabbages average 10c. per

7so. perqt.; plums nominal; pears, pre
serving, 750. per peck; watermelons va
ried from 10s. for the smallest Cuba
melon to about 500. for a fine “Rattle
snake," the very best of any kind being
offered daring the afternoon, and bayers
in many eases holding off on acoonnt of
quality us well as price. Oantelonpos
sold readily at 5a15c. ( according to size.
For ohickens the prioes appeared to
be low and the supply large. We heard
of sales at l‘2sa3oo. each, according to
size. Eggs are still low in price, but
the price often varies, according to the
looality where they arc sold. They are
now at retail 15a200.
In the fish quarter there has been a
scarcity of fish the past week. Of black
fish there was none yesterday. A lim
ited supply of cat fish brought the
usual price of 25c, per bnnob. A few
piecee of sturgeon were on sale. Sev
eral lmnohns of crocus, ordered instead
of black fish, were offered at 30c, per
bunch.
Nearly a Merloni* Accident.
Last Friday evening, about half-past
niue o’clock, a colored woman was acci
dentally shot and painfully wounded,
over the right eye, by a ball from a pis
tol iu the hands of a colored youth nam
ed Dan Allen. Several women and Dan
had been snapping the pistol at each
other for some time, in play, under the
impression that it was not loaded. They
had snapped it forty or fifty times when
it was finally discharged with the result
stated above. The acoident occurred at
the corner of Mclntosh and Fenwick
streets. The boy was much frightened
when the pistol went off. He was ar
rested and carried to the City Hall, but
as it was clear that the shooting was ac
cidental, he was released. The woman
is not seriously injured.
The Watermelen Crop.
From present indications the water
melon crop of Richmond connty is al
most a complete failure. Melons are
usually plentiful st this time, but up to
date only a very few have been brought
into the city. We heard of one farmer
who plowed up all his vines and planted
cow peas in their place. Canteloupes
are very scarce, and retail at from 15 to
‘25 cents eaoh. The late season and the
prolonged dry spells have caused the
failure of both the watermelon and can
teloupe crops. This is a serious loss to
Richmond, as the melon crop usually
yields about fifty thousand dollars in
this connty. The people of Augusta
may expect to see very few Riohmond
county melons this season.
lie Ciiet n Smell.
The War ronton Clipper is responsible
for the followiuq : “There are rnauy
old residents of this community who
will remember a dealer in pills and po
tious, named Dr. Holloway. It is relat
ed that a man came into his office once
who was a great hand to smell things.
He smelt around all perfumes, berga
rnott, etc., and before closing the abse
quores the doctor handed him a bottle
of hartshorn. The smeller took a libe
ral draught, aud was nearly knocked
down. Straightening himself np, with
the tears timnidg out of his eyes, and
nearly out of breath, he articulated as
heat he could :
“Doctor, I have smelt smells, good
smells aud bad smells, but if ever yon
make me another smell like that smell,
I’ll make you smell hell.”
Wnatel a Whit. Jury.
Among the special jurors for the pres
ent week, iu the Superior Court, is Rob
ert Snowdon, a very intelligent colored
man. Two criminal oaaes were tried in
the Court yesterday, in each of which
the defendant was a colored man. One
of these eases was the State t-n. Aaron
W. Gilbert, ntteiing aud passing a
forged paper, knowing the same to be
forged; aud the other was that of the
State vs. William G. Evans, obtaining
money under counterfeit writing. The
defendant in the latter case held a com
mission uuder the Chamberlain govern
ment in South Carolina iu Jauuary last
as a detective, and offered, for the sake
of reputation only, to arrest certain
thieves who were stealing ootton from
freight trains of the South Carolina
Railroad near this city. During his in
vestigations he presented to Maj. Hager,
agent of the South Carolina Railroad at
this point, a paper purporting to be re
quired by a certain party as a receipt
for wagba him, and i* was on this
paper that the prosecution was based.
An effort was made in January
to capture Evans, bat he suc
ceeded in making his escape. A short
time ago he was arrested in South Caro
lina, a requisition from the Governor of
Georgia having been honored by Gov
ernor Hampton, and brought to Au
gusta. Vie full particulars of the
January transaction Were published in
the Chronicle and Skshnej, at the time
it occurred. The defendant was repre
sented in Court, yesterday, by Boykin
Wright, Esq. In both eases, referred to
in the premises, the name of Bobi. Snow
don was oalled and the usual questions,
“Have yen, from seeing the crime com
mitted or from having heard any Sf the
teetimony delivered under oath, formed
and expressed any opinion as to the
guilt or innocence of tne prisoner at the
bar ?” “Have yon any prej ndiee or bias
resting on yoor mind for or against the
prisoner at the bar?” “Is your mind
perfectly impartial petween the State
god the accused J” to all of whom (he
juror answered m the negative, and the
BoliatorOenmra] announced, “The State
is content" In each ease, however, the
defendant objected and instructed the
Clerk to call the neat jnror, thus in
neither case, though the State was will
ing and desirous that Snowden should
compose one of the twelve, did he ait m
a juror, the defendants preferring to be
tried by white men.
A Texas lady died the other day by
taking six pills called “the opium eater’s
hope." f

THE LARGEST DIAMOND OUT.
One Slone Valued al Three Hundred Mllliou
llollnra—How Diamond* Are litfured by
Cuttlnif.
It is not very easy to make out which
iB the largest diamond now in existence.
Two are mentioned as entitled to the
honor—the Braganza, in the crown of
Portugal, and one which belongs to the
Rajah of ftattan, in Borneo. The Por
tuguese jewel is of doubtful quality. It
weighs 1,680 carats, and is the size of a
hen’s egg, but is believed to be only a
white topaz. The Portuguese Govern
ment withhold any information on the
subjeot, but if it is genuine it is worth
nearly $300,000,000. The Borneo gem
was found on the island übout 120 years
ago, and weighs 367 carats. A Governor
of Batavia is said to have offered $150,-
000 and two men-of-war for it without
snocess, and though battles have been
fought over it, the Rajah regards it as a
talisman, and it is still in possession of
the same family. The Orloff diamond
in the Russian Imperial soeptre weighs
193} carats; Catharine II gave $450,000
for it, and pensioned the merchant who
brought it to her $20,000 a year. It is
not cat to advantage, and another
among the Russian crown jewels, which
weighs 86 carats, is but partly cut.
DEATH ON THE KAIL.
A Traiii Jump, a Trestle Id Dlisseurl.
St. Louis, July 13.—The south bound
passenger train on the St. Lonis and
Cairo Narrow Gauge Railroad jumped
the track on an eighteen foot trestle
yesterday, six miles from Murphreys
boro. The whole train, excepting the
locomotive, was precipitated in Rattle
snake Cret k, and almost every passen
ger on the train was injured. Charles
Fink, the express messenger, will pro
bably die. W. Jones, mail agent; Pot
ter, the conductor, aud Smith, a brake
man, were seriously hurt. The train
was running twenty miles an h jur. The
oonpling between the engine and rest
of the train broke, leaving the locomo
tive on the track.
Charter Oak Inarun Cempany.
Stanford, Conn., July 14.—The at
tempt to reorganise the Charter Oak
Life Insurance Company by patting its
affairs into the hands of new and trust
worthy officers, has failed, the assets not
warranting the undertaking in the opin
ion of gentlemen who were requested to
take hold of the company. A movement
will be made at once for the appoint
ment of a receiver, and upon snob ap
pointment the payment of premiums
will cease, bnt the policy holders are ad
vised to keep their policies alive until a
receiver is appointed, as they will have
a right to share pro rata in the large

Hartford, Conn., July 14.—Insur

Pardee, of the Supreme Court, for the
appointment of a Receiver for the Char
ter Oak Life Insnranoe Company. The
petition sets forth that the assets of the
Company are so much less than the lia
bilities that it is uecessary a Receiver be
appointed, and the charter annulled.
Judge Pardee issued a temporary in
junction. The Sheriff served papers on
the officers, which requires them to an
swer the allegations on Monday next,
and show cause why a Receiver should
not be appointed.

SCHENCK’S SEA WEED TONIC.
In the atmosphere experienced here
daring the Summer months the lethargy
prodnoed by the heat takes sway the de
sire for wholesome food, sad freqaent
perspirations rednoe bodily energy, par
ticularly those suffering from the effects
of debilitating diseases. In order to
keep a natural healthful activity of the
system we must resort to artificial means.
For this purpose Scbenck’s Sea Weed
Tonic is very effectual. A few doses
will create an appetite and give fresh
vigor to the enervated body. For dys
pepsia it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dys-
pepsia can be permanently oared by the
drags which are generally employed for
that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in
its nature is totally different from snoh
drugs. It oontsins no oorosive minerals
or acids; in fact, it assists the regular
operations of nature, and supplies her
deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so
much resembles the gastric juice that it
is almost identical with that fluid. The
gastric j nice is the natural solvent which,
in a healthy condition of the body,
causes the food to be digested; and when
this joioe is not excreted in sufficient
quantities, indigestion, with all its dis
tressing symptoms, follow. The Sea
Weed Tonic performs the dnty of the
gastric jnice when the latter is deficient.
