Reynolds, Ga., August 10.—The Pan- hr.tiie Alliance had a picnic and basket dinner yesterday at Glover’s school house, speaking was the first thing on the pro gramme. Mr. L. B. Lucas spoke first. He spoke at some length, and criticised the Felton education bill and favored the Olive bill. Major Pelham was next. He stated that he was not a puolie speaker, but he put in good licks, in place of abusing monopo lies, trusts, etc., he urges the Alliance to fight them as a single man, do more and say less. After Major Pelham, Mr. W. R. Gorman, of Talbot county, was introduced. He spoke at some length, giving statistics, etc. He tried to impress the necessity of diversified farming on the minds of the people. After his speech dinner was announced, and, as it was in Panhandle, it is useless to say that the table was literally heaped. Everybody had plenty, and more was left than is usually carried to such places. After dinner Mr. Z. Beeland spoke a few moments. His was an exposition of the aims, purposes, etc., of the Farmers Al- lian -er He positively grew eloquent. After his speech the president of Taylor County Alliance, Rev. J. T. Adams, spoke. He attacked class legislation,attributed the woes of the farming classes largely to class legislation, and urged the selection of hon est and capable men to the important offices. Taking it as a whole, it was one of the most pleasant days we ever spent. Long may the Alliance live and prosper. Miss Emmie Cannon, a charming young lady of Toombsboro, is visiting Mrs. P. B.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa , August 10.—The Hungarians made another raid on the workmen at the Mercer coke plant, and drove them from work. ’Squire Duncan and Officers Franks and Shuun attempted to arre3t fifteen of the rioters, when they were set upon by tne mob. Duncan was terribly beaten, and left for dead. Shunn and Franks escaped by running. After beating Duncan tne Hungarians broke the windows and doors of the company’s store.

After the speaking all were invited to partake of one of the most elegant din ners ever spread in this county, and that is saying a great deal—shoat, mutton,beef, chicken, ice cider, ice lemonade, melons, fruit, etc., all in abundance. After dinner the crowd reassembled in the house, and under the fine brush arbor built for the occasion. Dr. W. R. Neal being called for, delivered one of his inim- table speeches for the encouragement and instruction of the young. The pleasant day’s enjoyment was closed by a short, practical speech by Mr. G, Culpepper. May this community enjoy many such occasions at Tanglewood i« the wish of this writer. M.

I at tne yards on last night, four cars, loaded j j with brick, by some means broke loose j from their couplings and started on a mad j run on the down grade leading to the j guano works. Several box cars, as also ! one of the new cabs, are badly wrecked. Messrs. A. Rylanaer, George D. Wheat- j ley, E. D. Ansley and C. L. Ansley left for I New York this morning.

Said petition is to be acted upon at the next meeting of the council, at which time a strong and numerously signed counter petition from citizens livmg on Jackson street and j vicinity will also be presented. ternoon in nearing the argument on the constitutionality of Senator Johnson’s two bills on the Mobile and Girard stock rraus- :er. Elaborate and able arguments favor ing the bills were made by Messrs. William A. Little, Henry R. Goetchius and Louis F. Garrard, and against them by Messrs. Carey J. Thornton and James M. McNeill. Captain Charles A. Redd also spoke against the measure. At the conclusion, the governor stated that under the advice of the attorney-gen eral, he would hold both bills constitu tional. The fight through the senate and house has been warm and exciting, and the seat of war was transferred to day to the exec utive office, but with no avail to the oppo nents of the measures. The advocates of the bills claim that the real issue on these measures is one between the Central railroad and the Georgia Mid land. This is denied on the other side, but whatever be the issue, the victorious side went home to-night in the best of humor, and the people of Columbus will now be allowed to vote upon tne question for themselves. Short ribs were steady.

Among those opposed to the rioters, the only casualty wa3 a wound in the shoulder received bj Lieutenant Parker, and it is suaposed it was from a 3hot fi;ed by Wiii cox. On the side of the rioters there were seven natives killed and twelve wounded, several seriously. An armed patrol was organized to watch the city during the fight, and afterwards was composed of the Honolulu Rifles. Blue Jackets and the marines from the United States steamer Adams, and citizen volun teers as special conatables, besides the whole police force. There were, however, no attempts at incendiarism. These were the plans of a programme said to have been formed by Wiiicox in the rash riot that he made.

In Arkansas the ear.y sea son was not favoraoie, and their plant was 8inaii and late, but favorable weather during July has placed it in a vigorous condition, and it is improving rapidly. In Tennes see the condition has fallen off during the month. The stand was generally poor and late, and the excess of moisture has prevented proper cultivation. Averages of the condition by states are: Virginia 63, North Carolina SI, 3outn Car olina 90, Georgia 91, Florida 95, Alabama 90, Mississippi SS, Louisiana 92, Texas 91, Arkansas 93, Tennessee 73. Caterpillars and boll worms are occasionally mention ed in Mississippi and Louisiana, and in seve al counties of Texas, but the damage from them Ls as yet inappreciable. Tobacco has fallen off materially on ac- count;of excessive rain. The decline is espe cially-marked in the Atlantic states, and the Indiana fields are full of weeds, and there has been a lack of sunshine for proper development. The averages in the leading states are: Pennsylvania 99, Mary land 66, Virginia SO, Kentucky 81, Ohio 93, Indiana 55, Wisconsin 93. The August crop report, of the depart ment of agriculture makes the coadiaoa of corn 94.S7, spring wheat S1.2, spring rye 95 4, oats 92.3, barley 90 6, buckwheat 95 2, potatoes 94 3, hay 94 5, tobacco S4.4.
