House—Other Matters.
Atlanta, August 9 —[Special.]—Mr.
Olive, the author of the celebrated rail
road bill, rose to a question of personal
privilege in the house to-day, which
created a little sensation. He read from
the Southern Alliance a clipping from the
Griffin News, which charged that Mr.
Olive was a communist, and that his col
league from Oglethorpe had documentary
evidence of the fact in his possession,
which he would spring at the proper
time.

statement.
Mr. Arnold, in his place, denied having
authorized the statement published in the
Griffin News.

Legislative Notes.
Atlanta, August 9.—[Special.]—In the
report ot the senate proceedings of Wed
nesday the remarks of Senator Williams,
of the Twenty-fifth, on the minor labor
bill were credited to Senator Jones. Sena
tor Williams said he thought the bill at
tacked the farming interests, which wa3
his own and that of his people. Farms
were worked by families; they were
worked chiefly by minors. They worked
from 5 a. m. tilt noon; that was seven
hours. They began again at 1 o’clock,
and it the bill prevailed they could only
work till 4. This would be a great hard
ship on the farmer to waste the time from
4 o’clock till sundown.
There was a right interesting episode
upon the, floor of the senate to day that
did not appear upon the surface of the
proceedings. The agricultural committee
agreed yesterday by a two-thirds vote to
report adversely the house bill to elect the
commissioner of agriculture by the peo
ple. Mr. Ballard, the chairman,
is a warm supDorter of the
bill, and this morning he stated that he
had been requested to withhold the ad
verse report until next week. To this
fcenator Johnson strongly demurred. Sen
ator Ballard informed the senator from
the Twenty-fourth that he did not intend
to report the bill, whereupon Senator
Johnson told him that if he did not do so
he would arise upon the floor of the senate
and demand the reason for the report be
ing withbe.d.
When Senator Ballard saw that his tac
tics would be exposed, he concluded that
he had better make the report, and it was
made.
CARROLL’S HORSE -HOW.
Our Correspondent Tells How tlie Town
Keeps Lively iu Summer.
Carrollton, Ga., August 8.—If you
want to know how a town keeps lively
this hot season, when many citizens of
other burgs retire to the shade, here are
the dots. Just before the farmer is well
out of the grass, we get up such a rousing
barbecue for the old veterans that nothing
less than a cloud-burst could cool our ar
dor and clean off our loaded tables. Then
comes a idisplay of Jersey cattle, inter
spersed with fancy country scrubs, some
of which can fill a five gallon piggiu daily.
Next, befors things have settled, we en
tertain a live Sunday school convention,
which, had you attended, you would
have made sure that the bad boy was a
thing of the past. I believe the nuisance
will be abated after awbiie.
Well, what next? Why, our first Tues
day. We have just twelve of these up
here every year, aud there is not a dull
one out of the twelve. The biggest part
of the first Tuesday’s business the year
round is in horse flesh. Now these fel
lows come determined to swap. And the
wonderful part is, that each one wants to
accommodate a friend with a first-rate
critter that has ceased to be of any earthly
use to himself. It is worth anybody’s
money to come to Carrolton just to see
wbat a first Tuesday is, for there are many
side issues discussed on these days besides
horse flesh. Bat our iast first Tuesday
had a deeper significance thau usual. On
it we had a horse show, second only to
what might be seen in old Kentucky. The
racer, the trotter, the flue brood mare,the
stallion, the three-year-old, the two, the
yearling, and the young hybrid, whose es
pecial privilege it is to wear long ears and
utter sweet notes like his paternal ances
tor. Each and all were there, and by the
dozens. The boys all dropped the quoits
that day. In fact, it was an occuiar de
monstration that Carroll could supply her
own stock.
The boys, too, have had their hands
full all the summer, for they have had as
many as forty foreign belles t, entertain,
and the business was so engaging that em
ployers found their clerks napping on the
counters after the exhausting encounters
of the previous evening.
Nearly every week, for recreation, our
citizens excar: to Lookout mountain, and,
for fear their railway facilities will be
curtailed, they are now planning to reach
Columbus and beyond via the Georgia
Midland, aud, mind you, they will get
there before you are aware

Items From Seule.
Seale, Ala., August 9.—A fine setter
dog, belonging to Mr. G. T. Brannon, of
Longview, created something of a sensa
tion Wednesday by comiug to Seale and
acting in such a manner as to justify the
suspicion that he was going mad. The
creature chased and bit other dogs, aLo
fowls and pigs, and, but for its timely
escape, would have been shot. It was
confined in a stable, where it now is. The
symptoms of hydrophobia have disap
peared, but it was thought best to keep the
dog away from other creatures until every
suspicion of this dreadful disease has
passed away.
The pesen crop in this section is some
thing wonderful. Many bushels lie mold
ing on the ground even now. If some en
terprising person had come here with an
evaporator a little earlier in the season,
much fruit could have been saved, and
somebody might have made a nice little
sum of money. Oniy a small quantity has
been dried, owing to frequent rains and
cloudy skies, which deprived us of our
share of sunshine.

does not yield, though the crop is now ex

In boots and shoes, the severity of com
petition makes profits very narrow, aud
the Saoe aud Leather Reporter notes that
after a general reduction of $1 to $3 per
case last year, and a further concession of
50 cents per case in March of this year,
with a decline of 50 to 75 cents per pair
on shoes in two years, manufacturers can
hardly be heid responsible for occasional
failures among dealers. Rubber is weak
and declining.
With a steady improvement in reports
from the northwest, wheat has declined
about three-eighths on saie3 of only 3,GOO,-
000 bushels, and corn a half cent o'u sales
of 5,000.000 bushels. Oats aro nearly a
cent lower, and hogs ten ceuts per 100
pounds. In oil there is an advance of a
half cent; in coffee prices have been lifted
three quarters of a cent, but with many
protests from buyers, who note the grow
ing disappointment of those engaged in
distribution. Sugar is strictly nominal,
with six and a half cents quoted as above
any bid at present obtainable, and the
narrative that an international syndicate
is getting ready to buy Cuba from Spain,
and to control all the sources of supply of
raw sugar, may be mentioned as indicating
the difficulties which the trust and Magde
burg syndicate begin to realize.
The stock market has been stronger and
advancing on the rather thin theory that
the recent failures and consequent distrust
of commercial paper have driven investors
to buy securities. There is in fact no such
distrust, and money is ample. The supply
for commercial uses is quoted at about the
usual rates all over the country. A more
rational explanation is that railroads are
assured of a iarge fall business, and so will
be powerfully pressed to adjust their dif
ferences, if oniy for a time. The average
price of more active stocks is higher than
a week ago, and foreign realizing no longer
appears. The tendency of capital towards
industrial combinations may naturally
have been checked of late, and this would
lessen the disposition to realize on good
securities.
During the week the treasury has taken
in $1,000,000 more than it has paid out, but
merchandise exports from New York for
the week were nearly 30 per cent above
last year’s, with an increase of about 20
per cent in imports.
The average prices of commodities have
slightly advanced.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last week number

went to the Alice works, where they also
forced the men to quit work. They are

done at Moorewood and Alice, but no one

and Hyppolite’s Losses Reported
Heavy — Boulanger’s Trial.
Other Foreign News.
New York, August 9.—Purser Squire, of
the steamer Alvo, of the Atlas line, which
arrived from Hayti last night, brings Hay-
tian news. The Alvo left St. Marie at 1 p.
m. July 26. and arrived at Port-au Prince
at 6 p. m. of the same day. When the
steamer came to anchor the noise of
Hyppolite’s cannons could be distinctly
heard firing at the town. The attacking
force was at the west end of the place
about two miles away. With the aid of a
powerful glass Parser Squire and the offi
cers distinctly saw Hyppolite on the sea
coast. The United States man-of-war
Ossippe.iay in the harbor of Port-au Prince,
and near her was anchored an English
and Spanish man-of-war. A tug boat
named Panama, formerly belonging in the
United States, of about 120 tons burden,
was there too. She carried a few heavy
guns and was in Legitime’s service.
During the afternoon of the 26 th of
Juiy the Panama was ordered around to
where she couid attack Hyppolite’s bom
barding party iu the right flank. As soon
as the little tug got within firing distance,
she began to blaze away. She kept it up
until darkness set in. The bombarding by
Hyppoiite’s force wa3 kept up all night.
The Aivo left next morning. Legitime
lost two men during the fiercest of the
fight. One was killed instantly; the other
lived a day. Hyppolice’s losses cau oe
reckoned in the hundreds, it is said. The
Gatling guns used by Hyppolite played
sad havoc with the outskirts of Port-au-
Prince.
The officers on the Ossippe said to the
people ou the Alvo that they (the Ossippe
officers) had become used to the continued
firing, and do not mind it a bit.

Gen. Boulanger's Trial.
Paris, August 9.—The trial of General
Boulanger before the high court of the
sedate was resumed to day. The proeu-
reurgeneral continuing his address,
charged that General Boulanger had held
a veritable political court at Clermont
when he was in command of the troops
there. He originated secret intrigues,
electoral agitation, aud system for corrupt
ing officials. Notwithstanding these acts
he had written to the war office disclaim
ing any connection with what had been
done in his name. Here there were
protests from senators belonging to the
party of the right. The procureur general
declared there were documents before the
court which clearly marked the down
ward path of Boulanger from insubordi
nation to intrigue, falsehood and con
spiracy. The government also had evi
dence to show that Boulanger had tried
to have conveyed to Prince Bismarck in
formation that he : Boulanger; only desired
to be appointed consul for life.
The procureur general described the
proceedings of the league of patriots at
Rochefort and the initial steps of the
attempt against the state which com
menced with tne scene at the Lyons’ depot,
when Boulanger started for Clermont-
Ferrand, and continued until the Long-
champ review, when Boulanger was hid
ing in Paris awaiting the result of his
manifesto.
The procursurs speech was received
with many impatient cries of “adjourn,”
“adjourn.” The trial was finally ad
journed.

taken.
After the summing up by Sir Charles
Russell and counsel for the prosecution,
Judge Sir James Fiizjames Stephens tooK
up a whole day iu delivering a charge,
which was generally considered as favor
able to Mrs. Maybrick. In view of the
evidence as to Mr. Maybrick’s habits of
eating arsenic and dosing himself with
drugs, it was thought that the jury would
acquit, or, at least, would disagree.
A SPLENDID GUOF.
What Mr. Gachet Made »n Due and a quar
ter Acres of Ground.
Auburn, Ala., August |9.—One of the
most fertile pieces of ground in Alabama
is a small patch owned by Mr. Charles
Gachet, of Auburn. Last season, on four
teen and a auarter acres, he harvested 941
measured busheis of corn, IS busnels of
peas, and gave away probably as many
more, and 1300 pounds of fodder. This
season be has harvested 65 bushels of oats
and grazed two cows and three horses for
about two months, on the same piece of
ground. On May 31, it was planted in
corn and peas, and if the season remains
favorable, Mr. Gachet expects to raise a
larger crop than He did last year. What
Mr. Gachet has accomplished, was with
out the use of a single pound of patent fer
tilizer, and shows conclusively that a
small quantity of land, carefully attended
and bronght to a high state of cultivation,
pays better than a iarge quantity improp
erly attended.
Many farmers attempt to cultivate too
much laud. Ten acres, prop&riy prepared
and worked, wifi produce as much as
seventy-five acres improperly prepared
and only half worked. Many farmers
who complain that they cannot raise a
good crop, would be surprised at the re
sult if they would take half the amount of
land and work it carefully and intelli
gently.
The crop raised,on this piatve-of graond,.
which has no special advantage of loca
tion, shows, also, that the lands iu this
section cf the south, properiy cultivated,
are as fertile and productive as any lauds to
be found elsewhere.
the police, but they managed to dodge in
among a lot of cars, where they disap
peared from view, as if the earth had
swallowed them. A squad of seventy-five
policemen soon formed a cordon about
the neighborhood and searched ©very
nook and corner in it without fiuding the
objects of their search.
The fugitives are suDposed to be John
McGraw and Wm. Marcoll.
A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
HISTORY OF THE MAYBRICK CASE.
$trikiiig Illinois jUiuers*
Joliet, 111., August 9.—After a lengthy
sossion, the coal operators and miners’ con
ference with the board of arbitrators came
to an end at a iate hoar last night without
any results looking toward a settlement to
the northern Illinois coal miners' strikes.
The miners agreed to meet the operators
half way, to accept 75c at Streater, 85c at
Lasalie and 90c at Braidwood. This con
cession the operators refused to accede to,
insisting on a 10 per cent reduction. Be
fore the meeting broke up the operators
agreed to meet again in this city next
Monday. The miners heid a secret meet
ing and agreed to return here Monday.
The miners seem eager to end the strike,
I but as the operators insist ou 10 per cent
I reduction, there is little hope that the
j uic-ering Monday will be productive of a
j settlement.

breaking out of the war, when one Capt.
DuBarry turned up and received attention
from Mrs. Maybrick that gave rise to some
gossip. Soon afterward Mr. Chandler

that Mrs. Chandler, although not molest

Brown, of Brown, Stees & Clarke, wool
dealers, lately failed, is in an almost in
sane condition, resulting from the suspense
caused by the continued absence of her
husband, who has not been heard of since
last Tuesday. The brother of the missing
man exoresses the opinion that the busi

crazy. The friends of Brown say he has
either committed suicide or has absconded
to Europe or Canada, or else is wandering
about the country in a demented condi
tion. Not a line of intelligence has been
received from him by any one.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, August 9.—There was more
vim to stock speculation to-day aud buy
ing was of a more general nature than
during the past few days, which imparted
a firmer and more pronounced tone to
dealings. There was very little news of
importance to affect values, but reports
from crops in Illinois, the action of the
Northwestern in restoring coal rates be
tween Milwaukee and St. Paul, and addi
tional favorable returns of earnings, were
factors in the markets to-day. There was
what seemed to be good buying in Van
derbilts, Gould stocks and Villards. the
first of which did much to give a confident
tone to buying, and pools were all
active in their favorites, resulting
in a general though moderate
appreciation. London had gotton over
