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 nental was also remarkable for a spurt which carried it no over one per cent and among other low priced shares.

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. Miss Emma Martin entertained her friends at a birthday party Thursday even ing—a nice party everybody, says, and the wish is expressed that it may occur many times in the future. The Rosebuds have a happy addition to their numser this week in the persons of Misses Evey aud Leiia Phillips, of Montgomery and Opelika, who are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Green. Miss Eva Myers and Miss Fishacher, cf Columbus, are visiting here; also Misses Cantey and Waddell, of Shelg-.ld and Fort Mitchell. Messrs. Cantey, of Fort Mitchell, and Waddell, of Sheffield, have spent some days with relatives here. The remains of Mrs. Cadwell, who died in Columbus Wednesday, passed through this place yesterday, and were carried to Yillula for burial. This honored Christian iady was universally beloved, and many friends here mourn her death. the apprehension of closing many iron works'in the Pittsburg district. Prices of iron and manufactured iron and steel had been advancing there, and the upward tendency may now be checked, though at Philadelphia there has been confidence that the success of the Coaneiisviile strikers and an advance in the wages of coke workers would insure an advance of cl per ton in pig iron. Prices have ad vanced about fifty cents and manufactured iron is strong. The expected revival of business in an thracite coal does uoc come yet, but tnere is some activity, aud Reading is expected was steady. THE WARSAW EPIDEMIC. Thirty-Eight People Have Died from Dys entery—A Physician’s Statement. Springfield, 111., August 9.—Dr. Stark weather, acting secretary of the state board of health, returned yesterday from Warsaw, where fee has been investigating the reported epidemic of dysentery. “I find the dysentery there.” he said, “not as serious as reported.

But sales have been light and spinners still buy sparingly. The market for cotton goods is more satisfactory, but the market for raw cotton does not yield, though the crop is now ex pected to be iarge and from two to tnres weeks early. 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 for the United States 164, Canada 37; total, 201 failures, against 210 last week. CHICAGO MARKET, Review of Speculation iu the Gram aud Provision Market. Chicago, August 9 —Tnere was a con tinuation of the late dullness in wheat, to day’s markets being just as narrow aud featureless as noted on any cf the preced ing days of the week. The opening Se ville Coke Region. Pittsburg. Pa., August 9.—Private dispatches from the Conneilsville coke re gion, reports a gang of 400 drunken Hun garians coke workers on a raid. They do not seem to understand that the strike was settled in tneir favor, aud this morn ing started out to close up the works iu operation. They first marched to Moore- wood aud drove the men out, and then went to the Alice works, where they also forced the men to quit work. They are still on the warpatn, and when last heard from, they were on their way to the Bes semer work3. Considerable damage was done at Moorewood and Alice, but no one was seriously hurt. Among the English speaking coke workers there is general rejoicing over the termination of the strike in their favor. The works of the entire region wii! be in operation next week. Boat Races at Pullman. Pullman, 111., August 9.—The weather is cioudy, but there is littie wind, aud the water is smooth. Tne first race, second trial heat, of the senior singles, was won by E. L.

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. He is Found With Two Bullet Holes in His Body The Unknown Murderers Es cape A Horrible Accident in Jacksonville, Florida. Chicago, August 9.—Police Officer 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. William Enjoyed tlis Visit. London, August 9.—It is officially an nounced that Emperor William, when departing from Osborne, expressed to the queen his utmost pleasure with his recep tion iu England. He also expressed the hope that the queen, responding to his strong desire, would return his visit b; coming to Berlin. this, but his brothers kept the matter quiet until after the funeral. Then they had Mrs. Maybrick arrested pending an i inquest. She became very sick at once, I and it was alleged that she was soon to ! become a mother.

He detected Mrs. Maybrick changing med icine from one bottle to another, and in other actions that he believed were sus picious. She was still allowed to wait on the sick man, however. Edward Davis, a famous analysis, after testifying as to re sults of his examination of Maybrick’s stomach, produced a dressing gown which had been the property of Mrs. Maybrick, and; swore that he had found on it spot3 3uch as arsenic would make, aud hsd also found traces of arseuic in the pockets. Mrs. Maybrick was thrown into a state of great mental excitement by this, and seemed about to swoon several times while the testimony was being 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. Mrs. Maybrick’s Career—A Suspicious Let ter—Her Own Child Convicts Her. Liverpool, August 9.—The memorial to the government asking that Mrs. May- brick be reprieved on the ground of the conflicting nature of the medical evidence given at her trial, has been signed by S00 brokers and merchants of Liverpool. Judge Stephens tc-iay protested In court against the abusive ieiters addressed to the jury in the Maybrick case. He said he thought they had conscientiously done their duty. New York, August 9.—Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who was convicted at Liver pool Wedntslay, and sentenced to death, was the daughter of Carrie E. Holbrook, of NeWjYork, and Wm. S. Chandler, the son of a well-known Mobile lawyer. The couple met in Mobile in 1856 and were married soon afterward. They lived in good style iu Mobile until soon afser the 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 suddenly sickened and died under circum stances that aroused such unpleasant talk that Mrs. Chandler, although not molest ed by the authorities, left town, go ing to Macon, where she married DuBarry.
