In spite of the disagreeable weather yes*
terday fully three thuUKandipeople visited
Exposition Park. The crowd s|>enl a large
part of the day 10 viilting the various In
door attractions. The main building arid
machinery hall were c mfortably filled
most of the day, many people seeing the
aitractions for the first tune since the Ex
position opened.
The county exhibits were closely studied
by toe visitors. These exhibits are given
u p to be among the best of the Rind ever
displayed at any exposition. T-iIbot, K is-
seli, I zee, H i icuuk -iud II irrU counties all
have magnificent exhibits T nese exhibits
advertise the resource* of these grand old
counties splendidly and are a credit to the
pluck and enterprise of their people.
■ Alabama on Wheels” is one of the
greatest attractions at the Exposition.
Commissioner Kolb made his recent tour
through the Northwest in this famous car.
This car shows “A abama as it is”- one of
the best S ates in the Uui in. Besides the
various exhibits of the resources of the
Stale, the car is well supplied with adver
tising matter and descriptive information
for the guidance of thoie woo are unac
quainted with the State, its geog
raphy and ita resources. "Ala
bama on Wheels” is made
perfect by the presence of Hon. J ihn C.
< 'lit-ney, chief clerk of the A lab him agri
cultural department, who knows the re
sources and advantages of hw 8'aie by
lit art, anti has a happy way of telling visi
tors exactly what they want to know.
Those who have not seen Alabama on
wheels should do s> to-day. The hand
le on? car is on the side track, only a few
feet from machinery hall.
< ieorgia tin wheels, which was also got
ten up by the Central railroad's Bureau of
I iiimigratiov, is also near machinery hall.
This car has also been t hrough the North
west, in chrage of Col. NV. L. Ulessner, of
the Americus Recorder, who has charge
of the bureau. The car is a credit to the
Empire .State of toe South. Etowah
county on wheels is alongside of the other
two, making the "nig three oil wheels,”
any one of which is well worth a tour of
inspection.
1 he poultry, dog and bird show attract
ed many visitors and mu h admiration
yesterday. Thisisoue of tile most attrac
tive departments of the Exposition.
The visitors never grow tired of tlie art
department. Many of the paintings and
drawings are the work of distinguished ar-
t ists and are worth hours of close study.
A large number of the paiutiugs were
executed by Columbus ladies and ibe dis
play of home talent is verv creditable.

9t. Lorm, Nov. 23 —The raugemen and
butchers held a final conference to night. ,
The joint association will hereafter be
‘ known as the National B^f Producers and
I Butchers Association, with the following
officers: President, C. C. Slaughter, of
‘ Dallas, Texas; Vice-President, Thomas
Armour. Chicago, and J 8. Pinkerton,
Pniladelpbia; Secretary. H. W. Taylor,
I Denver, Treasurer, Jefferson Reynolds,
' Lis Vegas, N. M.
The Senate committee investigating the
cattle and dressed bee f trust took a recess
until December 5, when it will reconvene
in A r aahintOD.
One of the witnesses to day was a Pitts
burg butcher named Peters, whose testi
mony is a fair sample of what all of his
trade have given. He said he
has beeu a butcher in Pittsburg
for the past twenty years. He was
asked what effect the dressed beef trade
bad on that market, and said it had de
pressed the butchers' interests. H > had
refused to handle it at ft ret. but the butch
ers were told by the Armours tbit if they
did not bandie it they would eatah-
j Ush shops in that vicinity, which
they have done. The dressed beef
people also sold lard for 8j cents, which
could not be made and sold for 12J cents.
Witness said the ci'.tie trade had fallen
off a great deal in Atleghaney. After ob
taining control, the dressed beef com
panies hud closed their shops, and the
butchers w -re now selling their goods.
Jefferson Reynolds, of L >s Vegas, N. M.,
a cattle grower and shipper, also fairly
represenented the opinions and experience
presented to the committee by witnesses
from his branch of the cattle industry.
He said: "Trie continued depression in
prices we receive tor our steers his be on a
great surprise to us. When I was
in | New York and Hartford, I inquired
at the hotels, aud of the butchers whether
they were paying as much for their cattle
as three years ago, and they said more. I
informed them that we were not getting
: within 50 per ce it of what we got three
years ago.”
Senator M.iiiderson—” What did yeu get
for cattle five years ago?”
Witness—“About $17.”
Senator M inderson—“ What do you get
now?”
Witness —“About fll.”
Senator Vest—“Cattle losses in Montana
several years ago were unprecedented,
were they not?”
Witness — “Yes; I have been so in
formed.”
.Senator Yest—“And yet your business
was not benefited in tba least?”
Witness—“Yes. We expected an in
creased trade, but there was no advance.”

Mr. Wheatley, of Americus, is visiting

pressed surprise at the in ignitude of the
Exposition, and says tbe art department
is a rare treat, and the pigeon show alone
is worth a trip to Columbus.
Hon. R A. Nisbet, ot Macon, Secretary
of the Stste Agricultural Sjciety, is in the
city. He says Columbus is topping any
thing he has seen in the way of Exposi
tions, and he has seen a great many good

Richard Donovan is chief musician and

lli-tory of the Terrible Crime tor Which the
Murderer Forfeited His Life.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 23.—John
Holiness, a negro, was hung to-day at
Marion, Perry county, for the murder of
Celia Johns ju. Tne murder was oue of
the most atrocious and dastardly crimes
ever committed in the criminal history of j
that section. The victim of the murder 1
was a young negro girl scarcely fifteen
years of age, and the fiendish murderer
a burly negro man of twenty-three. ■
Holiness, for some months, had j
been enamored of this girl, aud the inti- ‘
macy bad been of a criminal nature. He i
had pressed his suit with matrimonial in
tentions and the friends of the girl revolted
against a union on account of the worth
lessness of the wretch. The girl only re- l
ceiled nis attentions through tbe fear of
him.
Finding that he was not likely to win !
her hand in marriage, he was angered
against iier and made threats against
her life repeatedly. On the |
ill-fated morning in April, while the hands
on the plantation were chopping cotton,
John came into the field, gun in hand, with
the avowed purpose of carrying into exe- j
cution his many previous threats. Tne
girl pleaded most piteously for her life,
but despite her pleadings this demon, bent
on the commission of his diabolical crime,
turned a deaf ear to all her en '
treaties. The quarrel previous to
the killing lasted for about au
hour, he all the time cursing her in the
most cruel manner. She was in a crowd of
hands, and, with the command for them
to scatter, he singled her out and fired the
fatal shot, saving when he had fired, with
au oath: “You shall marry no other mail,
an i now I am ready to go to h—1 with
you.”
Tne hanging was at noon and was pri
vate. He died from strangulation.

shows progressive and scientific work.
The strangest feature in Kansas is her
80,000 majority for tarifl. I told several of
the members that if we bad known this
“that Georgia would have continued the
couot and beat her.”
Kansas has made much progress in the
manufacture of sugar from sorghum and
this is destined in the near future to be
one of leading industries ot theSjutn and
West.
Notwithstanding the progress she ha9
made in agricultural developments, Geor
gia is ahead, and tne Chattahoochee Val
ley Exposition will develoD the fact of her
greatness and grandeur. I am anxious to
hear from the Exposition.
The people of several sections have
promised to go and see for themselves, and
we trust that Georgia and Alabama will
show an appreciation of our occupation by
turning out en masse to hear from a repre
sentative of the National Grange on the
27th. I have, at much expense to the Na
tional Grange, secured a speaker for the
occasion. Col. J. H. Brigham is an able
exponent of our organization and a repre
sentative of agriculture. I trust all ar
rangements will be made aud our speaker
will have many hearers of the Exposition.
I also hope to be able to secure appoint
ments in other sections of Georgia for him.

state of the merchandise trade, for of late

the stoppage of wueat shipments,
but the sains of securities on
foreign account, which, for some
time, have exceeded purchases, and
a change iu the temper of investors might
result from a settlement of the rate wars,
but at present foreigners do not seem to
regard Amerieau railways with the confi

tbeir damaging competition and in part
because the effects of the Interstate act are
thought serious.

The Strike of the Switchmen at Indianapo- j appropriately referred:
Its Blocking Business. I . Mr - f?” 0 " 8 - of Sumpter—A bill to
| incorporate the Americus street Railway
Indianapolis, Nut. 23.—The strike of : Company,
tbe railroad switchmen is taking an ugly
phase. Not a single switch engine in the
city was moved this morning. In the
freight yards everything is confusion.
Morning trains were abandoned half made
up or not made up at all, ex
cept in the Marion and Lake Erie
and Western yards. The men, however,
declared that not an engine should be fired
this morning. I” all l^e y| > r<l* T hminoa*
was at acorn plefe" 'STbnostni. Tu several
places engineers and firemen, or other em
ployes of the roads pressed into service,
tried to go on with the work, but the
strikers interfered and successfully pre
vented the departure of any trains.
Although some disposition to blockade
the tracks and obstruct the progress of the
men who desired to work was exhibited,
only one instance of positive violence was
reported during the night The serious
phase of the strike is that the engineers
and firemen are in close sympathy with
the’ switchmeu, and make no attempt to
move their engines. Iu nearly every
instance they have quit work and
ruu their eugines into stalls aud draw the
tires when the swiccamm requested it.
Thisadds much to the complication of the
matter. While the switchmeu may be
replaced by unexperienced men and traf
fic resumed iu a short time, if the engin
eers and firemen will not work, nothing
can be done. Inexperieuce will not do to
trust upon an engine.
Sweeney, Grand Master of tbe Switch
men’s Uaion, his returned to Caicafo.
All tbe forenoon the s rikers have been
going in gangs from one yard to another
and warning applicants for work that if
they undertake to baudle the switch en
gines they wouid be handled roughly.
Fearing trouble, tbe officers of the road
called for police protection at noon, and
an effort will be nude to start out some
new crews this evening.
A new feature in the trouble, and one
which promises to lead to important re
