ETURNS AS TO THE AVERAGE YIELD
TER ACRE.
Washington, November 0.—The No
ember returns to the Department of Ag-
■culture of the rates of yield per acre,
lake the average for corn 19.9 bushels,
otatoes 57.5 bushels, buckwheat 14.5
ushels, hay 1.20 tons, tobacco 718 pounds,
lie corn crop makes the smallest yield
ver reported, excepting only that of
881, which was 18.6 bushels. That of
887 was 20.1 bushels. It is S3
cent, of average of the last
n years, a period which includes four
usually poor years, and only 73 per cent,
f last year's crop. Recent returns have
~en so uniform that the estimate for a
rmanent record will not be likely to
hange this figure unless by a slight frac-
Tlie decline of the last decade is
ot dne to any improvement of fertility,
ut to unfavorable meteorological
itluence. The highest rates are
n New England as usual,
'ew York averages 25.3; Pennsyl-
ania 27:5; Ohio 20.7; Michigan 26.7;In-
*ana 24.3; Illinois 25; Iowa 26: Missouri
Kansas 11.3; Nebraska 20.3. The
incipal decline is in the corn surplus
ates. The average rate of yield of pota-
is 57:5 bushels" The condition of the
'p in October was lower than in any re-
rted previous crop except iu 1887, being
against 61.5 when the rate of yield
s 56.9 bushels per acre. The rates of
Id of the principal States are as
owe: New York. 62 bushels: Pennsyl-
ia, 68: Michigan, 5S: Ohio. 46: In
na. 37: Illinois, 30: Iowa, 48: Missouri,
: Kansas, 28: Nebraska, 27; Minnesota,
Maine reports 95, New Hampshire
and Vermont 95. The yields of the
y crop are large, as a rule, throughout
country. The cane sugar crop will be
arge one. It has done well west of the
ssouri, indicating a probably rapid de-
lopment of the sugar industry.
A FLURRY IN STOCKS.
CAUSED BY ALARMING CABLES FROM
LONDON AND PARIS.
New York, November 10.—A flood of
alarming cables from London and Paris,
predicting disasters in the markets there
this week, caused a panicky feeling on the
stock exchange. Long before the opening
the brokers tried to make sales of stocks
but could not find buyers, and as soon as
the signal for beginning business was
given no offers were made, but every bid,
no matter at what price, was at once
filled. This selling caused the Manhattan
Elevated to fall from 100 to 92, a decline
of 8 points. Western Union fell 5£.
Other stocks, with the exception of the
Vanderbilts, fell from 2 to 6 per cent.
There are no buying orders in many of the
specialties.

guard of the Emin relief expedition.
Stanley has retained George Lewfs and
Sir Charles Russell to conduct his case.

THE ELECTION OF JUDGES
FOR THE SUPREME AND SUPERIOR
COURTS.
TWO LOCAL BILLS INTRODUCED B
REPRESENTATIVE GILBERT—MAJOR
KYALS AS A POET—THE SENA
TORIAL OUTLOOK.
Atlanta, Nov. 10.—[Special.]—Pre
liminary business was hurried through
with in both houses today, and even the
prayers had a brevity in accord with the
occasion.
Within six minutes after ten o'clock,
the time of convenining, the two houses
were together in joint session, under the
resolution providing for the election of
judges and solicitors. First came the elec
tion of a successor to Judge Mark Blanford,
Judge Sam Lumpkin was put in nomi
nation, and this was numerously seconded.
Then Hon. John B. Goodwin, of Fulton,
announced that the name of Judge Rich
ard H. Clark, at present of the Stone
Mountain Circuit, which had been men
tioned prominently in that connection,
would yield to the sentiment of the Leg
islature, and that he would not be a can
didate. Col. Goodwin then seconeded the
nomination of Judge Lumpkin.
Judge Sam Lumpkin, of Oglethorpe,was
then elected unanimously, receiving 198
votes. The term is six years, beginning
January 1, 1891.
Next the Pataula judgeship.
Judge Jim Guerry had no opposition
for re-election, and received 203 votes.
The Macon judgeship next.
Judge Miller again had no opposition.
The steady calling of the roll, the steady
repetition was becoming monotonous.
Judge Miller received 197 votes for the
unexpired term; for the full term, 203
votes.
Then Solicitor of the Oconee circuit.
Tom Eason had no opposition for re-
election. He received the total vote cast
196.
For Judge of the Western circuit, which
came next, N. L. Hutchins, the present
encumbent, had no opposition, receiving
204 votes.
Judge H. C. Roney, the present incum
bent of the Augusta circuit judgeship,
was put in nomination for re-election.
Then Davis, of Burke, announced that
Col. R. O. Lovett was out of the race, and
seconded Judge Roney’s nomination. This
left Judge Roney without any opposition.
He received 202 votes.
Judge John W. Maddox had no opposi
tion for re-election in the Rome circuit.
He received 192 votes.
The joint session was then dissolved,
and both houses adjourned until 3 o'clock
this afternoon.
Hon. Price Gilbert, of Muscogee, intro
duced a bill providing for another popular
vote on the constitutional amendment to
read bills the first time by title only.
This is the one just declared lost by a
technical defect.
Amongst the local bills introduced were
two by Gilbert, of Muscogee. One was to
authorize the Mobile and Girard Railroad
to constrict a side track on Broad street,
running into the yards of the Empire
mills.
The other was to authorize the Savan
nah and Western Railroad to lay down a
track on First avenue and Seventeenth
street in Columbus.
The poet of the General Assembly is
Major G. N. Ryals, the light weight of
Chatham. His latest and most popular is
this:
“Bill McKinley’s lost Ills bill.
Tom Reed hiis lost his gavel,
Ingalls, too, lias gone to hades,
The rest have hit the gravel."

the part he took in pressing the “ better
inerts claim” before the last Legislature,
and it may be that he and his claim will be
more prominent still before this Legisla
ture. He was asked the other day about
the status of this betterments claim.
“Unadjusted,” he said, “as the last legisla
tqre left it. The claim of the lessees is
about $525,000. The sentiment of this
Legislature, if it represents the popular
feeling, must be much more liberal than
the last towards us. The claim was in no
way settled by the Louisville and Nash
ville’s leasing the Western and Atlantic.
There are other stock-holders iu the lease
besides the Louisville and Nashville whose
right to a settlement the Louisville and
Nashville company had no power to
ignore. No! the Louisville and Nashville
had no power to make a settlement if it
would, and ought not to have been ex
pected to do so if it could. The m mey
paid for the improvements put upo i the
road as well as the taxes paid in Tennes
see, was taken out of the treasury of the
lessees and belonged to the stockholders in
the old lease, and it was the money in
vested in these improvements which en
abled the State to get the large rental for
the road, more than it was actually
worth.”
“Then you believe the Legislature will
allow the claim?”
“I certainly do,” said Major Stahlman.
“In fact, I have but little doubt on ’the
subject. I have seen en >ugh of Georgia
and her people to satisfy me that the ques
tion is well understood uow, and that the
General Assembly will meet it in a spirit
of fairness, and that an amicable settle
ment will follow.”
THE SENATORIAL BOOM.
Hon. Bill Glenn, formerly of Whitfield,
seriously announces that he is a candidate
for the United States Senate. He is hard
at work about amongst the legislators, and
is very self-possessed and unblushing about
it. He bases his claim principally upon
being the author of the bill, passed by the
last Legislature, for the county taxation of
railroads.
The Colonel’s warmest friends are will
ing to concede that he is aiming “a leedle
high,” while the Colonel himself saws
wood industriously, admitting nothing of
the sort.
Judge Hines, ex-Senator Norwood, Col.
S. H. Hawkins and Col. Glenn are nursing
their senatorial booms here upon the field
of action, giving their personal attention
to it.
Gordon’s friends are more confident
than ever.
“I never cared how many majority the
enemy had in time of war,” remarked the
General two or three evenings ago. “I
knew we had 'em beat if we once had ’em
scattered under fire!”
And so his friends argue.
Ex-Goyernor McDaniel and Flem. duBig-
non have gone home, both virtuously pro
testing that their visits had nothing what
ever to do with politics.
ExCongressman N. J. Hammond, of
Atlanta, lias been spoken of in this con
nection. Certainly it is without his con
sent, but people are talking it, neverthe
less.
Northen's name also is used quite prom
inently as the only possible compromise
man for all factions. He has stated pub
licly and positively that he could not and
would not serve if actually elected by the
Legislature.

THEY MADE VICTIMS OF TWELVE HUN
DRED CHILDREN.
Birmingham, November 10.—[Special.]
William and Sarah Fountain are in the
city prison, charged showing without a
license and suspected of swindling. To
day, they went around to the public
schools advertising a show to take piece
this afternoon, at which 1,000 presents
would be given away, each child getting
one. Twelve hundred children went to
the show and paid a dime
admission. When the hall was
crowded it is alleged that the Fountains
gave no show, and told them they would
get the presents as they passed out. The
children wouldn’t go, and he struck
matches and raised the cry of fire.
It was a stampede. Several of
the children were trampled upon. The
police were notified, and when they went
to arrest the man they found him and the
woman locked in a room trying to escape.
It is said that they worked the same trick
at Memphis and escaped. They refuse to
talk.
THE ANNOPOLIS EXCITEMEMENT
MHE NEGRO FORBES CARRIED OFF TO
BALTIMORE.
Annapolis, Md., November 10.—
Ernest Forbes, the colored youth who is
under arrest on the charge of assaulting
Bertha Phipps, age 15 was secretly re
moved last night to Baltimore, where he
will.be safe from lynchers and secure from
release. The intended lynchers of For
bes reached Camp Patrol, two miles from
Annoplis, last night, but their advance
guard could not find a safe way to pass
thet troops, and getjnto the city, to
say nothing of gettting inside the
jail. The excitement was somewhat allayed
today when it became known that Forbes
was secretly carried to Baltimore. A new
grand jury will be drawn in a few days,
when Forbes will be indicted and imme
diately tried. There is a great deal of ex
citement, and bad blood exists between
the whites and blacks. The latter look
upon Forbes as a persecuted person, and
hold him innocent of the crime charged.
A SHOOTING Iff GRIFFIN
BROWN SPEER MAKES A TARGET
OF POLICEMAN GOSSETT.
THE COP HIT TWICE—AN ACCIDENT AT
THE OIL MILL—A SENSATION
AT FLAT SHOALS.
Griffin, November 10.—[Special.]—
Policeman J. T. Gossett was shot twice
this evening by Mr. Brown Speer. Police
man Gossett, while on duty this morning,
put Speer iu the guard house for acting
in a disorderly manner. Later, after Speer
was released, with the assistance of his
father-in-law, Mr. Wright, he went to
Gossett’s house and called him out, an
Speer fired one shot through Gos
sett’s left hand and one in
bis * right hip. Gossett was
unarmed, but with the assistance of his
wife and children went to Speer, who was
still firing, and handcuffed him, and re
lieved him of his pistol. Gossett was on
the way with Speer to the guard house the
second time, when he was met by two oth
er police, who safely landed Speer in the
jail. Gossett, who was by this time ex
hausted from loss of blood, was carried to
a drug store, where his wounds were found
to be quite painful, but not necessarily
fatal.
A BAD ACCIDENT.
Mr. John Morris, an employe of the
Griffih oil mill, while trying to put on a
belt this afternoon, was caught in the
machinery and bad his leg badly mangled.
Doctors Drewry and Taylor attended the
suffering man, and would have amputated
the limb had the poor fellow not begged so
piteously against it. Amputation may be
necessary yet to save the young man’s
life.
A FLAT SHOALS SHOALS SENSATION.
J. W. Woodard, manager of Mr. Ben
Neal’s farm at Flat Shoals, has skipped the
country with a negro woman and about
$1,000 of Mr. Neal’s money. Woodard
deserted a wife and five children.

pleted today, show's a majority for Stew
art, Republican, for Congress over Craig,
Democrat, of 2,661. This gives Stewart a
majority of 34 in the district (Twenty-
fourth) over Craig, whose election has
heretofore been claimed. The district in
18S8 gave Ray, Republican, 4,338 major
ity. The delegation from the State in
the next Congress will consist of 18 Re
publicans and 10 Democrats, a Democratic
gain of three.
