A MAN AND WIFE WHOSE COMBINED HEIGHT EXCEEDS SEVENTEEN FEET. The tallest couple in the world is prob ably Mr. and Mrs. Bifford, of Champaign, ill., he measuring in his stocking feet eight feet seven inches and a quarter and she exceeding him by three inches and a half. Mr. Bifford 3 vys that at the age of thirteen he had attained the height of six feet and his parents received as many as a dozen offers from museums all over the country wishing to exhibit him as a curiosity. Mrs. Bifford, on the contrary, was a very sickly, under sized child up to her fourteenth year, when she began to grow suddenly and shot up at the rate of over half a foot a year, not at taining her full growth until she was twenty-two or twenty-three. They are now respectively thirty-four and thirty-one years old, the husband being the older, and have been married nearly six years, but without children. Neither came of especially tall people, and Mr. Bifford’s mother, who still lives, is a little woman, barely five feet in height. The couple were both born in this county and grew up together. The man is of au emaciated, delicate appearance, with snail bones and rather effeminate features, while his wife is large and mus cular in proportion to her height, ! though a very small eater. Her shoes, I gloves and hats have to be made ! to order for her. They are people of means and education and are much an-1 noyed by frequent solicitations fo travel as j freaks, though neither seems particularly ! sensitive over their peculiarity. Both are of Irish descent, and are of families which have occupied honorable and responsible positions, both in this country and in the incredible as it may appear, is vouched for by persons whose integrity is above suspicion.

A BROTHER S WOUNDS IN CALIFORNIA FELT BY HIS SISTER IN MISSISSIPPI. A remarkable but well attested instance of spiritual affinity took place in Jackson, Miss., recently. Mrs. Benjamin, Camp bell, within a few hours of the birth of a child, declared that she was suffering . greatly from a severe pain in her neck, f close to the jugular vein, and in her left leg. near the knee. As no cause for it could be found it was supposed to be imagination, until a telegram arrived saying that the lady’s twin brother, Barry Davenport, of San Francisco, had acci dentally shot himself in the neck and left leg. dying in a few minutes. When Mrs. Campbell’s child was born it was found to Lave two bleeding gashes, exactly like a -unshot wound, one close to the jugular vi-in and the other close to the knee. It ; as only with difficulty that the babe was kept from bleeding to death. M hen Mrs. Campbell’s mother, who had • • n with her son at the time of liis death, p the scars left by the two sores she de- aved them to be in precisely the same -‘ s as her son’s liad^been. This story, COMPLIMENT TO A COLUMBUS YOUNG LADY. Eufaula, Ala., September 12.—[Spe cial.]—Mr. Ed Y'oung’s house last night was the scene of a very gay throng of young people. The occasion was an enter tain uent given by Miss Annie Young in honor of her cousin, Miss Y'oung, of Co lumbus. The society young men pro nounce the entertainment one of the most enjoyable of the season. Miss Y'oung has made many friends here among the young people, who regret the time when she will have to leave them. A LITTLE GIRL DROWNED. Birmingham, September 12.—[Special.] —Tiie news of a distressing acci dent comes from Good Spring, Limestone county. Maud Kenna- more, the three-year-old daughter of Sam Kennamore, while at her aunt’s house, wandered off. Half an hour later she was missed and traced to a mill pond near by, where the body was found in four feet of water. The child had fallen in and drowned. ERICSSON HOME AGAIN.

Highest of all m Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889. ABSOLUTELY PURE W ashington, September 12.—[Special.] —The tariff bill as amended by the Senate reached the House today, and was at once referred by the Speaker to the committee on ways and means. Today a regular meeting of the committee was held for the purpose of settling certain preliminaries. No action was had, but there was much wagging of sub-Maxillary bones. It is practically decided by both sides, to hasten action on the bill, so that an adjournment may be had. reed’s new count. After the tariff bill had been sent to the committee the House did uo further busi ness, although Thomas Brackett Reed took a new turn on the Democrats and counted the paired members to make" a quorum. THE GEORGIA SENATORSHIP. Congressman Biount remarked today that no combination or agency could be organized to beat Gov. Gordon for the Senate. Mr. Blount’s judgment, while not infallible, is generally pretty correct, It is understood that the Alliance peo ple have not definitely decided upon a can didate for the Senate. Judge Lawson’ fitness has been talked about and so has Col. Gorman’s, bat Mr. Norwood appears to be the man most available, and if any one is put on the course he will be the man. The canvass Governor Gordon is making and his enthusiastic reception wherever he goes have not failed to im press the Alliance leaders here, and it is barely possible that they may throw up the job of trying to defeat him. THE BAUM INVESTIGATION. The Raum investigating committee com pleted its work today at the Pension Office, after which the Commissioner showed them through his big building and dis missed them with his official blessing. The charges against him will not be sus tained. • -A BOODLE CAMPAIGN. The Americas club, of Pittsburg, will open the Quay-Delamater campaign to morrow night. Collector Warmeastle, Quay’s factum in Pittsburg, is here and has invited the irridescent Ingalls, Napo leon McKinley and the big fellow from Maine to accompany him back and make speeches. GEORGIA PERSONALS. Judge Erskine, J. T. Tickuor, A. L. Holbrook, Henry Krouse aud Thomas J. Delbridge and wife, of Atlanta, are the latest Georgia arrivals. Judge Gustin, of Macon, returned to Georgia last night. APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE. Miles Turpin, Jr., of Atlanta, has been appointed to a §903 clerkship in the Inter state Commerce Commission, and Mr. Holcombe, late city editor of the Macon Telegraph, has been promoted to the $1,200 grade in the war office. E. P. S. IN THE HOUSE. Washington, September 12. — After prayer by the chaplain the clerk pro ceeded, under instructions from the Speaker, to call the roll on the question of ordering the previous question on the ap proval of the journal of ' Tuesday’s pro ceedings. During the roll call a message was received from the Senate announcing the passage of the tariff bill with amend ments, and by direction of the Speaker it was referred to the committee on ways and means. The previous question was ordered—yeas 113, nays 34, the Clerk noting a quorum, and the question recurred on the approval of the journal. On the approval of the journal, the quorum disappeared and a call of the House was ordered. One hundred and seventy-five members responded to their names, but on the approval of the journal these had dwindled to 143—no quorum, and, on motion of McKinley, at 1:55 o’clock, the House adjourned. IN THE SENATE. Washington, September 12.—Ingalls presented a petition from citizens of Mis souri asking for the passage of the com pound lard bill. At the suggestion of Edmunds it was agreed that one hour be given each day (after routine morning business) to bills on the calendar unobjected to. Quay gave notice that tomorrow, after the reading of the journal, he would ask the Senate to consider the resolutions in respect to the memory of Samuel J. Ran dall. A bill to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at Win ona, Miss., was taken from the calendar and passed, with a verbal amendment. The calendar was then taken up. An hour was devoted to bills on the ca’- endar. Among other bills passed was the Senate bill giving the consent of Congress to the construction of a bridge over Duck river, in Humphreys county, Tenn., and the Senate bill to subject to State taxation national bank notes and United States treasury notes, the same as other money. The conference report on the railroad laud forfeiture bill was taken up, and Morgan continued his argu ment in opposition to it. During the argument Gorman presented a telegram from Senator McPherson stat ing that he was indisposed and would not be able to act' as a member of the confer ence committee on the tariff bill, and ask ing to be excused from service. The re quest was complied with, and Voorhees was appointed conferee in place of Mc Pherson. After Morgan had spoken about two hours, the Senate was addressed by San ders in favor of the adoption of the con ference report, the main point of his con tention being that the lands actually granted to railroad companies could not be taken from them because they turned out to be mineral lands. Hearst took a contrary view and insisted that mineral lands were specially reserved by the original grants and must be kept for the use of the people at large. Sanders said that in the courts of his own State, of the State of California, and in the Supreme Court of the United States the term “mineral lands” had been held to mean lands commercially valued for min ing purposes. Without concluding his argument San- dees yielded for a motion to proceed to ex ecutive business, and at 6 o’clock p. m. the Senate adjourned. be allotted to that proceeding. There seemed to be a diversity of opinion, but there was a pronounced disposition on both the Republican and Democratic sides to hasten action in the committee as much as possible. The date upon which the bill, when enacted into a law, shall take effect was also discussed, but without result be yond the development of a strong individ ual belief that the date fixed by the Senate, October 1, was too early to admit final action upon this bill and its distribu tion among customs officers of the coun try. The committee will meet again to morrow and proceed formally to consider the bill and the amendments which were referred to it by the House soon after the committee. adjourned. It is said by some Democratic members that the facility with which their party associates will lend themselves to the Republicans’ efforts to hasten the final disposition of the bill is conditional upon the program which is to be adopted by the Republicans in ihe House for the remainder of the session, and that if it should be attempted to pass the threatened resolution to interfere with the Ohio districts as established by the last gerrymander, or force through other pronounced partisan measures, resort will be had to all parliamentary means to ob struct the tariff bill. NO. 220. LIVINGSTON ATTACKED- GOVERNOR GORDON SHOWS THE ALLIANCE LEADER. UP IN HIS CONYERS SPEECH HE ALLUDED TO LEONIDAS AS A MASS OF PUTREFAC TION—PEEK WILL REPLY. THE SWISS REVOLUTIONISTS. Berne, Spetember 12.—The revolution ists in the Canton of Ticino formed a pro visional government and convoked a popu lar assembly which declared the existin Government and Grand Council dissolved, and ordered general elections for next Sunday. The insurgents hold Lugano Mendrano, Chiasso and Loearno. The Bundezrath was called in extra ses sion and ordered the Federal troops to be sent to the scene of the disorders. The populace support the insurgents and a civic guard occupies the telegraph offices, thus preventing the supporters of the Can tonal Government from communicating by telegraph with each other or with the Na tional Government. The rebels arrested Councillor Oreali, the Federal commis sioner, who received instructions to annul the decision of tliu provisional government and vote for a popular assembly. Bellinzona, September 12.—The Lib erals occupy the towns and stations on the St. Gothard railway. A counter-revolt is feared. THE REVOLT COLLAPSES. Bellison, September 12.—The revolt has collapsed. The troops have been well received by the revolutionists. It has been agreed that the question of the revision of the constitution be submitted to a popular vote. BOND AND SILVER PURCHASES. Washington, September 12.—The total amount of four-and-a-half per cent bonds offered to the Treasury Department for the entire country, under the circular of Au gust 30, was $768,700, making a total thus far of $8,503,650. The prepayment of interest on the four per cent bonds at -Washington, New York and Boston yesterday, under the circular of September 6th, aggregated §874,289, mak ing the total thus far §1,426,734. The amount of silver offered for sale to the Treasury Department today aggre gated 431,000 ounces, and the amount pur chased 321,000 ounces, as follows: 46,000 ounces at §1.156; 100,000 ounces at §1.157; 100,000 ounces at §1.1574, and 75,000 ounces at §1.1575. THE sun’s COTTON REVIEW. New l'or.K, September 12.—Futures opened at one to two points advance, clos ing quiet and unchanged on September and on§ to two points decline on other months from yesterday’s closing prices. The market made a slight advance on stronger report from Liverpool, but the bulls showed neither vigor or courage, and there was a feverish, unsettled tone throughout the day, closing dull and somewhat irregular. At one time some strength was infused by the receipts at some in terior towns making a comparatively small showing, giving rise to the observation that the planters may be holding back cot ton because prices are not satisfactory. It was clearing weather in nearly all sec tions of the South and turning cooler, with the bulls inclined to get up a frost scare on every sign of a blizzard the Northwest. The high rates of money will, it is believed, check for some time the demand from New England spinners Spot cotton was quiet. BASE BALL.

Glasgow, September 12.—The State line steamer State of Georgia, Capt. Moodie, was about to depart for New Y'ork today when the crew struck because a non union baker was on board. Atlanta, September 12.—[Special.]— Gordon and Livingston. That has been made an issue in the Senatorial race, and some very decidedly red-hot times are brewing. There’s no doubt about that. It comes about in this way. A few days ago at Gainesville, Gen. Gordon attacked Livingston and Macune with gloves off. Y'esterday at Conyers he repeated the at tack, more vigorously than at first. He literally tore the hide off brother Living ston in great long strings. He alluded to him as a “mass of putrefaction,” and various other things on the same order. He denounced him, ridiculed him, and painted the Alliance leader’s fair name and fame beyond recognition. As Gordon concluded his speech, Hon. W. L. Peek, president of the Alliance Ex change, arose and stated to the crowd that he would reply to the speech tomorrow at 12 o'clock. He asked them all to be present, assuring them that Livingston could admit all Gordon charged and then compare records to the General's disad vantage. Col. Peek says that he is going through Gordon's record from beginning to end, and that when he finishes there won’t be ten men in Rockdale to vote for Gordon. The Governor speaks tomorrow at De catur. the Y'ia Mernlana. The Princess has re markable artistic taste and has had the walls of the palace decorated in fresco by an excellent Roman artist named Gay. Their lovely villa on the sea at Porto d Anzio, one honr and a half by rail from Rome, is shaded by green trees and shrub bery, and from the high rock on which it is p rched looks off over the waves to Mount Circeo, where the fabled sirens sang to the mariners and Lady Kirke plied her enchantments. THE FINANCIAL STATUS- THE MONETARY SITUATION PICTED BY DUN & CO. DE- THE CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. REVIEW OF THE SPECULATION IN THE GRAIN AND PROVISION MARKETS. Chicago, September 12. — Wheat — The trading was not as active as yesterday, but a very fair volume of business was transacted. The feeling was unsettled, and while prices were higher at times, they generally ruled lower than yester day’s closing. There was a rather wild opening again, but, unlike yesterday, the tendency was down instead of up. Prices varied one cent in different parts of the crowd, sales being made simultaneously at 107 and 106 for December, and 101$ and 101 for May. The top figures men tioned were from $ to fc higher than the closing figures of yesterday, and the inside about Ac lower. The market held for a while within a small range, then advanced $ to |c, but under free speculative offerings again took the down grade and prices declined 1$ to lfc, rallied $ to lc, and closed about $ to f c lower thau yesterday. Corn—Another active day was witnessed and fluctuations were frequent within a wide range. The feeling early was much stronger, but later an easier tone was man ifested. The first trades were at 1 to lfc advance, the market- afterwards- selling up to fc higher, but due to predictions of decidedly cold weather in the corn region, which had the effect of frightening the shorts for three million bushels. There was free re alizing by the longs, and a sharp reaction followed the early advance and prices re ceded quickly 14 to 2$e, rallied some, and closed with a decline of f to fc on near months, and May a shade better. Oats were active,but the market had less snap, and after opening firm and $ to fc higher, gradually weakened, aod prices re ceded 1 to lfc, rallied slightly, and closed steady. Mess pork—An active business was transacted. The opening sales were made at 15 to 17$c advance, followed by further slight improvement. Later prices receded 17$ to 20c, and the market closed tame at inside figures. Lard—A fairly active trade was re ported, higher. and closed comparatively steady, Short rib sides—Quite a good business was transacted. Early, sales were made at 2$ to 5c advance, but later a reduction of 5 to 7$c was submitted to. The market closed quiet at inside figures. The Countess Gianotti—Miss Kinney, of New Y'ork—is quite at home at the Quir- inal Palace, her husband occupying the position of Grand Master of Ceremonies. The Count is Grand Officer, Commander and Knight of innumerable orders, and, among others, of the Rising Sun of Japan. He is also a Colonel in reserve and honor ary aide-de-camp of King Humbert. The Marchioness Teodeli—Yliss Lillie Conroy, from the South—is celebrated for her beauty. At the Exposition of Art and Productions of Rome, just closed, Le L’eure, the famous photographer, exhib ited a life-size profile and bust of this American lady, which attracted attention for its almost ideal beauty, The Marchesa is “black" or clerical, and a relative of her husband has lately been made a cardinal by Leo XIII. She would never go to the Italian court or even sa lute the Queen upon the Corso. I have seen her on Holy Thursday lend her ear for a moment to the singing in the Giulia chapel and then continue her promenade up and down St. Peter’s with her beautiful children and the rest of the crowd. Miss Slocum, of New Orleans, mar ried one of the brothers of the African explorers, Count Pietro Sav orgnan di Brazza and Count Giacamo Savorgnan di Brazza. The name of Brazza is famous in Rome for the wonder ful journeys made on the river Ogowee by these two travelers. Giacomo died soon after his return from a journey of three years and a half in the Ogowee country, where he contracted African fever. Pietro, who has considered himself a Frenchman since his thirteenth year, is still in Africa, having undertaken many expeditions there in the service of France, and subjected a large extent of country to the French flag. The family, however, is Roman and cleri cal. There are five or six brothers, one of whom is a painter and another a counselor of the province of Rome. Miss Curtis, of New York, a relative of the late Governor Hoffman, is the third wife of Don Emanuel Ruspoli, of the fam ily of the Princess of that name. He was formerly Sindaco, or Mayor of Rome. Miss Clymer, of Philadelphia, is the wife of William Grant, for many years em ployed in the bank of Messrs. Maguay & Hooker and very prominent in 1838 as one of the managers of the Italian Exposition in London. Miss Clymer was wrecked on the ill-fated Y'ilie de Havre, and saved, with her sister, iu a boat. She will never cross the ocean again, as she cannot forget the terrors of that awful night, when her mother and several of her family were drowned before her eyes. Countess Bevilacqua, wife of a well- known physician in Rome, is the grand niece of the famous Captain Stark, of New England memory, mentioned by Halieck in his poem, “Connecticut.” Mrs. Cecearini—Miss Wheeler, of New York—is the widow of Dr. Giovanni Cec carini, who practiced medicine twenty years in New York, when he was an exile from his native land. He was also a mem ber of the Sanitary Board of New Y'ork. When, however, Koine became free he returned to Italy and built a superb villa on the Adriatic, near Rimi ni, spending the winters in Rome, Villa Cecearini got to be known all over Italy in 1838, wnen it was made the head quarters of the Generals aud staff during the manoeuvres of the army. It is finely situated on rising ground at no great dis tance from the Adriatic. A lovely view for miles around over the sea and country may be had from its windows. It is only ten miles distant from the ancient little STRINGENCY IN THE GREAT CENTERS, IK SPITE OF TREASURY DISBURSE MENTS—A HEAVY BUSINESS LOOKED FOR. THEY' MARRIED IN ITALY, MORE TARIFF DISCUSSION. THE HOUSE COMMITTEE NOW HAS THE BILL. Washington, September 12. — This morning, for the first time in several months^ the ways and means committee held a session. The purpose was to dis cuss the trefitment of the Senate amend ments to the tariff bill, and the entire s =s- sion was so consumed. As the bill itself had not reached the committee no formal conclusions could be voted, and the pro ceedings were entirely confined to a gen eral discussion. On one point there seemed to be a practical agreement, and that was that the amendmants should be considered by the committee, instead of acceding at once to the re quest of the Senate for a conference. As to how much time should THE SOUTHAMPTON STRIKE. Southampton, September 12.—Sprow, one of the leaders of the strike, has been arrested on the charge of intimidation. The dockmen have decided to return to work in the morning, but the sailors and firemen are still holding out. The town is quiet tonight. THE CHOLERA RECORD. Valencia, September 12.—Thirty-one new cases of cholera and twenty deaths from the disease were reported in this city today. A number of suspicious cases have been reported in Casteilon and Y'allecas. near Madrid. AND FREE PASSES, TOO. While Emperor William is doing so much travelling, why can’t he run over to the United States and pay us a visit ? He would have the best that the market af fords.—Utica Observer. Andalusia special: In theCovington Cir cuit Court at Andalusia last week a man named Hall, charged with murder, jumped his bond after the jury had been impaneled for his trial. This brings to mind the case of the man Penton, who stood trial and walked out of the court room when the verdict was read finding him guilty. Penton is said to be in Milton, Fla., en gaged in business. The Gadsden News and Times says: In the last ten years Etowah has overtaken and passed many counties in the race for population and wealth. She is now close on the heels of Calhoun, Talladega and other pretentious counties; ahead of Cher okee, Randolph andUimore (counties that were ahead of us in 13S0), and is entering the race of the next ten years with the ex pectation of leading all the counties in the State except those containing the great cities. SOMETHING ABOUT THE AMERICAN WIVES OF NOTED ITALIANS. Rome, Italy, August 30.—[Special Cor respondence Philadelphia Times.]—I sup pose that no true American woman would cold-bloodedly abandon her native land, the greatest on earth. If many have left it the circumstances have been in every case unexpected and exceptional. It is no light thing to leave behind free institu tions to which one is accustomed; to ex change a republic for a monarchy,a Protes tant for a Roman Catholic country, and to put the ocean, perhaps forever, between ourself and family and friends. Some, however, have felt the “wild en chantment of Florence and the Arno, of the wines, the flowers, the air, the skies of ' aly.” They have seen in the youthful nation that struggled long and at last achieved independence, a counterpart of our own country. Here there are manly hearts, Faithful ill love, in honor, stern and chaste; In friendship warm and true, iu danger brave;’ - and some of the Italians who have married American women answer well to this des cription. It is proverbial that Italians make good husbands, and I believe that ail of the Americans married here have been fortu nate in their espousals. At least, they all appear satisfied and happy: all are honor able and honored. * * * The Princess Vicovaro. or Donna Elea- nora Cenci—Yliss Loriliard Spencer, for merly of New Y'ork—is one of the seven dame di palazzo of Queen Ylargaret. The Queen has one lady of honor, six court ladies,’ and in Rome seven ladies in waiting, two of whom, the Princess Vicovaro and the Princess Brancac- cio, are from New Y'ork. The Princess Y'icovaro has been dame di palazzo for about twelve years, but is often absent from Rome on account of the delicate health of a young daughter. Her hus band, the Prince of Vicovaro, a small an cient town beyond Tivoli, where a richly sculptured sarcophagus, now in the Catn- pidoglio museum, was found, is also Count Bolognetti Cenci, a descendant of the fam ily of the famous Beatrice Cenci. He is a tall, large, handsome man, courteous in manner, and still owns the ancient palace of the stepmother of Beatrice Cenci-Lucrezia Petroni. The name “Petroni” may still be seen cut in the stone over the old entrance to the palace at No. 53 Via Ara-Coeli. The present en trance is on the Piazza Gesu, and the pal ace bears the name of Bolognetti-Cenci. He has a collection of objects relating to or once owned by the unfortunate Beatrice Cenci, and on the stairs of the palace is a large wooden shield to which are attached copies of all the daggers, knives and sti lettos used by his fierce ancestors for cen turies. The Princess Brancaccio—Yliss Hickson Field, of New York—has also been a lady in waiting of the Queen for a number of years. She is expected to attend the State dinners and receptions and is considered a soecial friend of the Queen. When in Rome she attends the Protestant Episco pal church in the Y'ia Nazionale, of which Dr. Richard Nevins is pastor. Prince and Princess Brancaccio live with YIrs.

Madame Gagani, sister of the late John C. Henderson, of New York, is the widow of Guglielmo Gagani, once well .known as a lecturer and lawyer. He was exiled from Rome in 1849, having been a member of the short-lived Roman Constituent Assem bly, and fled with Garabaldi and others to San Marino. He subsequently went to Turin, then to London, and finally to the United States, where he made many friends; but returned to Italy as soon as its political conditions per mitted. His health, however, was so shattered that in a few years lie died before he was able once more to see Rome. Madame Gagani has remained in Italy nearly ever since, and resides in Rome. She is a member of the Waldensian Church of Rome, of which her husband also was a member when they were in Turin. Mrs. Hegerman—as YIrs.

SOME COTTON MEN UNDOUBTEDLY LIEVE THAT THEY ARE. BE- According to the Times, some of the Savannah cottou men look with considera ble suspicion on the reports of the crop sent out from the bureau at Washington. In the past charges have been made that the bureau was run too much in the interest of speculators, and there are many who undoubtedly believe that New York has altogether too much influence in the matter and that reports are either fixed to suit opera tors there or the operators informed prior to the regular public announcement as to what intelligence the report will convey. The report "is watched for with a vast amount of interest every month. It has considerable effect on the market. It is easily to be seen that operators having the inside track could make it a source ot much pecuniary profit. While these ru mors are heard all the time no direct charge has been brought and no substan- tiatory proof ever obtained to bear them out. The suspicion exists, though, in many minds, and doubtless will continue to do so. Columbus cotton men do not take much stock in the idea that there is any consid erable monkey business going on in con nection with the crop reports. Some of the officials of the bureau, however, are probably subjected to pretty severe temp tations, and it is not considered unlikely that s >me important bureau secrets may leak out occasionally. Red YIen to the Front.—Last night the delegates appointed by Creek Tribe of Red YIen to arrange a program for Red Men’s day at the Chattahoochee Y r alley Exposition, held an enthusiastic meeting at the wigwam of Hon. L. F. Garrard, one of the biggest braves of the tribe. The council was in session abouTtwo hours, and adjournel to meet aga n at an early date. All of the lied Men ot Georgia and Ala bama will be invited to take part in the program, and the display will be the grand est ever made by any secret order in Georgia. New Y ork, September 12.—The past week has fully justified those who gave warning that the monetary ease caused by the treasury disbursements could be but temporary. The market here has been tight, with extreme rates paid in some cases. In Boston and Philadelphia the monetary pressure also affects business. At Chicago the market is somewhat firmer and the demand active; at St. Louis, stiff at 7 to S per cent.; at Kansas City, more firm; at Omaha, a trifle close, but fairly supplied; at Ylilwaukee very active, and to some extent disturbed by a large lumber failure in the interior; at Detroit the demand is strong at 7 per cent. At Cleveland the tightness is rightly ascribed to the volume of busi ness. At Pittsburg the demand is fair at 6 to 7 per cent, and only at New Orleans, of all cities reporting, is the market easier. These details show that the rising tide of business all over the country Is closely em ploying all the money available, and yet within three weeks more than §15.000,000 has been added to the circulation by the treasury and sent to the interior, no part of it being retained in this city. The imme diate fright at New Y'ork was about the supposed enormous demand for the pay ment of duties if the new tariff should go into effect October 1st. The fact, as offi cially reported, is that less than §9,000,000 would pay the full duties on all goods in the warehouse on which the rates have been increased, but no one supposes that the entire quantity .would be taken out, and meanwhile the treasury is now offer ing to pay out §20,000,000 for four- and-a-half per cents and §23,000,000 more in prepayment of interest on four- and-a-half per cents. If there were no speculative tendency interfering with the free movement of the crops, commercial bills would soon draw money from abroad; but an unfavorable crop report causes higher prices for staples, and prior to that exports had been very light, prices here being too high for foreign markets. The pressure has caused considerable decline in stocks, the average having fallen about §2.50 per share since August 25, but there is money used for particularly active speculation in grain and cotton, which is wanted in legitimate business, The reports from other cities indicate no slacking of activity on account of mone tary difficulty at any point west or south of Philadelphia. The reports as to col lections are almost uniformly satisfactory. Crops are moving fast, the prices encour aging farmers, but do not go forward to consumers as rapidly. The distribution of merchandise in nearly all lines continues much in excess of last year at every point reporting. The great industries are doing well. The weekly output of iron rises again to 171,776 tons, against 164,793 August 1, and 134,068 a year ago. The market for pig iron is weaker, though no recorded change in prices is seen, and rail makers are clearly disappointed about recent orders,and a cut in prices on considerable contracts is-ex- pected, but the plate, structural, sheet and wrought pipe mills are all crowded with work at full and occasionally ad vancing prices. Greater activity in woolen manufacture is shown by the rapid rise in sales, and the speedy passage of the tariff bill is anticipated as a basis, for larger operations, The activity in goods is everywhere Increased, importer* being quick to dispose of many kinds, while the demand is large and general. In short, there is every reason to look, for a large and prosperous business if the pressure in the. money market is met, and that pressure tends to cure itself quickly by repressing speculation. But the Treasury has ample funds availa ble, and if commercial needs become such that the bonds go forward or the prepay ment of interest is accepted, the disburse ments should quickly be large enough to meet all necessities. Failures for the week are: For the United State 167, Canada 26; total 193, against 203 last weojf, RAILROAD RACKET. It is estimated that 100,000 bushels of rice will be shipped by the Altamaha river planters this season. POINTS PICKED UP HERE AND THERE ALONG THE TIE AND KAIL. The passenger train from Birmingham, due here at 3:25 p. m., did not arrive until about 9 o’clock last night. The de lay was caused by an accident to a freight train at Y'andiver, forty miles east of Bir mingham. The freight was just ahead of the passenger. One car jumped the track, and several hours were consumed in get ting the freight out of the way of the east bound passenger train. A special train was made up in this city, and left for Yla- con and Savannah on regular schedule time. Tlie passenger train from Americus, due here at 10:15 Thursday night, did not ar rive until after 3 o’clock yesterday morn- The delay was caused at Americus. Some unknown party boarded a shifting engine left on a side track at Americus and pulled the throttle wide open. The engine ran down the siding at a rapid rate of speed and was wrecked at the main line. Several hours were consumed in getting the track clear. The Ylontgomery Advertiser says: The Savannah, Americus and Montgomery railroad is coming this way—coming in a trot. A corps of engineers under Capt. Hurt reached the city yesterday and estab lished quarters at Clisby’s Park. They have completed the second preliminary survey, and will start back at once to locate the line. A large grading force is now at work between Hurtsboro and the Chattahoochee river. They started at Hurtsboro and are working toward the river. They have already graded eight or ten miles of the road. Another corps of engineers are now at work at the Chatta hoochee river surveying for the approaches and the bridge. The project has been revived for build ing a railroad to. St. Andrews Bay, Fla. Some yeYrs ago a road was projected -from Eufaula, Alaf, to St. Andrews, but the maladorous reputation of the St. Andrews Bay Company of Cincinnati discouraged men of capital from investing in the enter prise. Still it was believed by many that with the financial assistance Eufaula was willing to contribute to the enterprise, and the aid that was promised along the pro jected line of road through Alabama and Florida, that the road would be built, bat the death of Judge Edwards, of Lee coun ty Ala., who was one of the moving spirits in the enterprise, suddenly caused the suspension of further effort. A com pany has filed articles of incorporation at Montgomery, Ala., and propose to build a road from Anniston, via Opelika and Ab beville, to St. Andrews, and the Geneva Record suggests that the new road take in Eufaula. Dothan, Columbia and Geneva, in Alabama, and co-operate with the com pany which has projected a line from Chip- lev to St. Andrews. Rights of way, it is understood, were secured some four or five vear= n-o for the greater part of the line from Eufaula to St. Andrews. rant Sam Parrott, general manager of the Columbus Southern road, returned to the city last night after an absence o. sev eral weeks in Sew Y ork.
