TRADE PROSPECTS. oNCOCRAOINU IMCFORTB OK GOOD CHOPS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. it. G. Dun & Co.’s review- of trade for ihe week ending August 3d, says; “1 he country begini to feel the stimulus ol .ood crops. New Spring wheat began to arrive at Chicago on the first, ten uays earlier than last year. The St. Louis corn coruer has no effect, aud au abund ant yield is expected and business in all departments is gaining. The North western Miller estimates the wheat yield at 500,000,000 bushels of excellent qual ity, and the mills at Minneapolis are ac tve with water plenty. St. Paul natu rally reports au improvement in trade, and Milwaukee also iu all branches. At Omaha the assurance of crops above the average makes business excellent. In the iron regions a distinct increase in demand is felt, and orders for one hun dred new locomotives were placed dur ing the week. The certainty of large traffic also has its effect upon railroad negotiations, which have made progress toward peace. The volume of trade continues to exceed last year's, at New York, 12 per cent, and outside 124 per cent., according to clearings through banks. Exports for July, from New Y’ork, appear 14$ per cent, larger than last year, with imports 5$ per cent, larger, and these figures would poiut to au ex ?osß of about 11,000,060 imports over exports, and yet large offerings of bills against products to be moved hereafter prevents apprehension, The prospect is better for a decline of 2$ cents in wheat during the week, though com, oats and cotton for immediate delivery are fiac l tonally higher. Pork products have all declined a little, and hogs 20 cents per 100 pounds. The speculative move ment in these products has not beeu large, the sales of wheat retching 18,- 000,000 bushels for the week, of corn 7,000,000 and of cotton 191,000 bales. But coffee Is three-quartets stronger, with sales of 326,000 bags. Iu oil only 3,7U0,000 barrels have beeu sold, and the nrice is about one cent lower.” FREEMASONS GO TO L, N. IOWA MASONS ASK FOB AN INJUNCTION AGAINST TIIE GRAND LODGE. A special from Ctdar Rapids, la., says: Action was begun Monday in the district court at Msriou that will startle Masonic circles more than anything else, perhaps, of late years. Judge Preston, of the eighteenth judicial distret, on tho peti tion of C. 13. Barnes, af Burlington, J. G. Graves and Henry Bennett, plaintiffs and grand officers of the lowa consistory of that branch of the Scottish rite of Ma sonry, commonly known as the Cereneau, ordered a temporary injunction against the grand lodge of lowa Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, restraining them from putting into effect the legislation of the last session of the Grand lodge refer ring to Cereneau bodies and which com manded Master Masons to leave the con sistory of lowa of that rite under punish ment of expulsion. The petition states that ns the body represented by the plain tiffs does not confer a blue lodge degree and the grand lodge or its subordinate lodges do not confer the twenty-nine higher degrees, the grand lodge has no jurisdiction whatever and its action Is illegal, arbitrary, oppressive, prescrip tive of their individual consistories and Masonic relations and hurtful of their standing as good and reputable citizens. This is the first time a Masonic body has appealed to the state courts and the ac tion of the supreme court to which it will finally go, will be a precedent for other atates. The time for hearing arguments for a perpetual injunction will be during the October term of court at Marion. A BIG GRAB. THE IOOK-KEEFER OF A BANK GETS BICII VERT SUDDENLY. There was a big sensation in Wheeling, W. Va., Friday morning,when it became known that Harry Seybold, a very popu lar young man, individual book-keeper of the b ank of Wheeling, had been ar rested for embezzling $27,000 from the bank. On the 10th of April, a package containing $27,000 was deposited in the hank by a prominent business man, and was placed in the va lit to be counted after business hours. After the bank had closed, the man wh . had depos ted the package went to get it and found it missing. Ihe ab sence of the package was kept quiet for a lime, being as it appeared evidenttkat some employe had taken it. Hariy bey bold was found to be spending money very freely Suspicion at once rested on him and he was arrested He was taken before Justice Arkle and charged with tho theft. At first Scybold denied the charge, but after close examination by an officer ho finally confe-sed to have taken the money, foeybold has been in tho employ of the bank for the past -even years, and IBs books have always been found correct at each examination, lie gave as a reason for taking the pack age that the temptation was too strong. Great alarmTs caused in the City ol Mexico by the terrible ravages being mad toougholit the eountry in th, low-1 ring districts, by the yellow fever. J,ne mortality increases in number every day. COVINGTON. GEORGIA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 8. 188!>. SOUTHERN NEWS. ITEMS OF IN THRUST FROM VA RIOUS POINTS IN THE SO UTU. A COKDXNSXII ACCOUNT OF WHAT IS OOIXO ON OF HiroUTANCI IN 1 UR SOUTUSBN STATES.

NV. 11. Heyward, one of the richest and most prominent rice plautersof the olden times, died at Charleston, 8. C., Tues day, aged seventy-two years. The first lot of "anti-trust” cotton bagging for the season was received in Voldosta, Ga., Saturday. It attracted quite a crowd to inspect this new cover ing which the Frmers’ Alliance has re solved to use. The largest gathering of farmers seen in Charlotte, N. C., in many years, greeted Harry Tracy, the alliance lectur er Wednesday. Mr. Tracy spoke at the fair grounds, and it is estimated thut at least 2,500 farmers heard him. Much enthusiasm was manifested. Saturday night, at Baleigh, N. C., Theodote Couusii, a young man whi poisoned his wife with “rough on rats,’ was captured in the woods near NV'il liumstown, Martin county. A large numbw of men had pursued him cvei since the verdict of the coroner’s jury had fixed the murder upon him. He is in jail nnd is endeavoring to appear in sane. His friends claim that he is crazy. A storm broke over Richmond, Va., on Thursday night, duiiDg which the city railway stables, located just without the ciiy limits in West End, were struck ly lightning. The building took fire, the flames spread rapidly, and before aid ar rived the entire structure was consumeu and sixty mules and horses w-ere burned up. Seven stieet cars were also de stroyed. Tho loss is estimated at $24,- 000; insurance $40,500, all in foreign companies. A fierce quarrel broke out between the Smiths and Slushers, near Pineville, Ky., over a hog worth $2. Smith’s home was attacked Saturday last by the Slushers and a volley poured into the house which put holes through the dcot and broke several windows. Smith re taliated by putting a guard, armed with NVincherters, on the Slushers’ road to Flat Lick, the nearest village. Both sides are now well armed and are watch ing for each other. At a house on East Lanvalc street, Baltimore, Md., a few sharp words and a hasty u-c of a revolver aud an appa rently happy young couple, husband and wife, were lying dead, each shot directly through the heart. The house was broken in and there stretched upon the floor were the bodies of Mr. aud Mrs. Dolan. As there were powder marks on the man’s shirt aud as the pistol was near his body, he is supposed to have done the shooting. The belief is becoming very general throughout North Carolina that Gover nor Fowle will nquest Dr. Grissom to resign the superinlendcncy of the asylum at Raleigh. The governor has do power to act officially in the matter, but it is plain that the asylum’s usefulness is at an end if Grissom does not resign, and the people expect the governor to mako the request iu the name of the people of the state, and for the good of the insti tution. Martha York, an old woman, was on Tuesday placed in jail in Randolph county, N. C., charged with murdering her grandchild, a boy eleven years old. AYhile delirious the child said repeatedly that his grandma had beaten him to death. The child’* mother testified that its grand ma was the murderer. There had been a quarrel in the family, and it is said the old woman whipped the boy with hick ory switches until she fainted from ex haustion. The affair is creating excite ment among the citizens. A dispatch from Tmcaloosa, Ala., re ports the mysterious death at noon Mon day of Arthur Fitts, superintendent of the Tuscaloosa cotton mills, and son of J. Fitts, a pronuoent banker. He was seen last walking back and forth on the grounds of the mill*, and finally disap peared under an old building. A pistol shot was heard, and an employe tound Fitts lying on the ground with an ugly wound behind his right ear, and tlie pis tol with one chamber empty at liis feet. There is nothing to determine whether it is a case of suicide or murder. A collision occurred on the Virginia Midland Railroad Sunday morning at Burley’s, Va., fourteen miles north of Charlottesville, between two freight trains. Fireman Ford A. Fox, of the southbound train, was killed instantly, and Engineer Charles Davis, of the northbound freight, seriously injured. Engineer Ernest Hayes, of the south bound freight, and Brakeinan M. A. Mc- Donald, are missing, and are supposed to be under the wreck. Fireman Kelly and Brakeman McClain, both of Alexandria, also badly injured. SOUTH CAROLINA FRUITS. A WONDERFUL PLENTY- TEACHES FIF TEEN CENTS A CRATE, ETC. The abundance of fruit this year seems to be general throughout the whole state of South Carolina. In Columbia fruit is actually a “glut” on tho market. Farmers briDg into that city wagon loads of melons for which they are un able to find a market at any price. Can taloupes of the finest quality sell for a song; the nutmeg variety is sold at fif teen or twenty cents a dozon. One of the fruit commission merchants had a a number of crates of peachis in fiont of his store marked “fifteen cents a crate;” they were fresh and of good quality. Country watermelons sell for five or ten cents. In fact there is a superabundant* of all kinds of fruits. DISASTER IN OHIO. AT LEAST A DOZEN KILLED BY A RAILROAD ACCIDENT. A pnsher,running wild,returning from Connersviile, Ohio, to Hamilton, collided w'itli a passenger train. The latter was running at a very high speed. The place is remote from telegraph stations, and definite news is hard to obtain. It is known, however, that it was a bad smash-up. Fireman Lee and Baggage master Shields were killed outright. Engineer Dougherty was badly hurt, and a Mr. Brannan, fireman, was severely hurt. It is believed that the number of killed aqd wounded will not be greater than twelve ptfourteen. RUSHING WATERB. WtUtAT KlllS-lIBT IN VIRGINIA HOUSER ANI STREETS FLOODED —UNTOLD DAM AO K. Reports from Richmond, Va., say that the James river is seventeen feet above the ordinary low water mark, anil rising four inches per hour. Tho wharves at Rocketts arc all under water and adja cent streets, houses and cellars and the gas works are inundated. A number ol business bouses bad to suspend trade and move tlicir effects in consequence ol Scbockou creek backing up water from the river and overflowing their premises. Indications point to a freshet equal to the greatest for years. Reports thiough t ut the state, though meagre, lead to the belief that ail the streams arc swollen. At Fredericksburg the lower portion of the city is submerged from high water in the Rappaha'nock, nnd merchants nd citizens arc moving their effects to places of safety. At Danville, Thuisday morning, there was more water in Dan river than was ever known before. Factories and small dwellings on the river bunks were flood ed, and the loss will be about $15,000, exclusive of iho damage to the railroads. Travel on the Danville and New liiver road is suspended. Two bridges and one long trestle have been carried away, and the wires are ail down. Carson the Atlantic and Danville track are complete ly submerged and hidden from view-. Harrisonburg, Va., the rains have been continuous for days, and all the streams are out of their banks. Much damage has been done. Tho rainy spell which has I ccn almost continuous iu that local ity for over two months, has destroyed much of the hay crop, and wheat is now sprouting in the shocks. The outlook is gloomy fur farmers. Reports from Phil adelphia say: Waters in the Schuylkill river Thursday attained the highest point reached in this city fi r twenty years, in volving destruction to property estimated at fiom SIO,OOO to $20,000. Park drives were submerged, boathouses flooded, nnd some of the streets near the river bunks were under water to the depth of be tween four and five feet, doing consid erable damage. THEY WANT ALL OF THEM. ENGLISH CAPITALISTS SEEKING TO BUY OUT AMERICAN COTTON INDUSTRIES. A letter, mailed in New York Satur day, addressed to the president and board of directors of every cotton mill in F'all River, Mass, says: “Gentlemen: It is our desire to secure control of the entire cotton manufacturing property in Fall River and elsewhere, and we address you fer the purpose of Detaining vour views as to the probability of your share holders, or a majority, being willing to g.*U or poll their stock on a basis of mu tual advuutage. We are ploased to in form you that the Central Trust Com pany of New York, has consented to act as trustee in behalf of both parties. Should the matter meet with your favor able consideration, wo will confer w ith you personally in regard to details. Very respectfully, George F\ Mellen, Emerson C. McMillan, 11. B. Wilson, Committee.” The syndicate, which has been formed, represents principally foreign capital, and that already the amount subscribed is more than sufficient to buy the cotton industry of America. ibis is really what is aimed at, and the operations will not be confined to F’all River, but extend to Lowell, Lawrence, New Bedford, aud the best mills in the country. The Fall River mills have a capital exceeding $20,000,000, and an investment probably of $30,000,000 or more. Just how the negotiations will be instituted w-ill in terest outsiders, as these mills are owned by thousands of stockholders. The di rectors have power to sell the mills, and, beyond a few- hundred shares probably, little stock could be bought at anything like the prevailing prices. THE CITIZENS ARE MAD. BRUNSWICK INDIGNANT OVER TIIE FAI.SB REPORT OF A YELLOW FEVER CASE. The Atherliser and limes ol Brunswick, Ou., both appeared Thursday containing strongly worded editorials condemning Savannah's action in regard to quarantine ing Brunswick on account of the fever rumors. Fuitlier investigation proved that false rumors were btarted by a w ild drummer who left here some days ago, and without any regard to tiuth circula ted the report that a man named Night ingale had died of yellow fever. A dispatch from Washington states that owing to the prevalence of rumors if suspicious cases of fever at Biunswick, Ga., the marine hospital bureau ordered Si nitary Inspector Posey to proceed to that place and make an investigation. I he loilowing telegram from Dr. Posey, dated at Brunswick, Ga., was received at the marine ho-pital bureau Thursday: Theenusc of the death of B. Nightingale, which occurred July 24tb, was hemor rhagic malarial fever, confirmed by an autopsy held by Drs. Dunwoody, Bu l - ford and Unzlehurst. No cases of fever here of a suspicious character. SEALING SCHOONER SEIZED. A BRITISH SEALING SCHOONER CAPTURED liY AMERICANS. A dispatch from San Francisco says: The steamer Dora arrived from Behring sea Monday night and brought the first detailed news of the capture of t lie British Scaler, Black Diamond, by the United States revenue cutter, Richard Rush, on July 11th. The Rush over took the Black Diamond and ordered her to heave to. The captain of Black Diamond refused to do this. Thereupon the commander of the Bush ordered the lowering of the ports and the running out of guns, which caused the schooner lo heave to. Captain Shepard and Lieutenant Tuttle boarded the English i raft and asked forher poj era. The offi cers of the Black Diamond offered no armed resistance, but refused to deliver the ship's pipers. Captain bh<pard at once broke open the cabin and forced the hinges of the strong box and the captain’s chest, thereby securing the pa pers. A search of the vessel di-closed 103 seal skins which had bedn taken in Behring sea. Captain Shepard placed non-Commissioned officer Rush in cliurge of the Black Diamond and ordered the vessel to bo taken to Sitka to await further instructions. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY.

An old farmer near Castile not only keeps five or six dogs as a protection against tramps but he owns a bull which likes no better fun than to give a stranger a lift skyward. One day last spring a tramp who was making a short cutacrossa field to reach the house, found the bull rushing for him like a wild lo comotive. He had about fifteen rods to go to reach au apple tree, while the bull had thirtv, and the tramp got there first. It was lucky he did, for the whole pack of dogs made a spring for his heels as thev were drawn up off the grass. He 1 sat 'there on a limb, the bull pawing and roaring and the dogs barking and growl ing, and presently the farmer came down alongside the fence and called out: “Sav, you!” “Yes.” “Want any old clothes or cold vict uals?” “No, I don’t want but one thing on this earth,” replied the tramp. “What’s that?” “Lend me yer balloon aud ticket me for Pennsylvania.” —New York Sun.

She wanders up and down the main Without a master, nowhere bound; The currents turn her round and round, Her track is like a tangled skein; And uever helmsman by his chart Ho strange a way as hers may steer To enter port or to depart For any harbor, far or uear. The waters clamor at her sides. The winds cry through her cordage torn. The last sail hangs, to tatters worn; Upon the waves the vessel rides This wsy or that, as winds may shift, In ghsstly dance, when airs blow balm. Or held In deep lethargic calm. Or fury hunted, wild, adrift. When south winds blow, does she recall Spaces and golden fruit in store? Or north winds met off Labrador, The iceberg's iridescent wall? Or east, the isles of Indian seas? Or west, new ports and sails unfurled? Her voyages all around the world To mock her with old memories? For her no lighthouse sheds a ray Of crimson warning from its tower; No watchers wait in hope the hour To greet her coming up the bay; No trumpet speaks her, hearty, hoarse; Or if a Captain hail at first, He sees her for a thing accurst, And turns his own ship from her course. Alone iu desperate lioerty She forges on; and how she fares No man alive inquires or cares Though she were sunk beneath the sea. Her helm obeys no firm control, She drifts, a prey for storms to take.

A Skinless Boy. William Crawford, the son of the well known tug captain of that name, died the other afternoon in Chicago. He bled to death at the nose, but had lost so much blood previously that the hem orrhage from the nose was not great. Young Crawford, who was but twenty two years of age, was peculiarly afflicted. He had but one skin. Which is to say that he had no outer skin at all. Tho veins stood out all over his body in the plainest manner possible. From the time he was six years of age young Crawford had been subject to bleeding spells, which were Liable to break out at any time and in any part of his body. He lost vast quantities of blood in this way, and was afraid to take any sort of exer cise at all, for fear of starting the bleed ing afresh. For the past two weeks the young man had been confined to his bed, being too weak to sit up, even, and bleeding at the nose having set in he soon passed away. Physicians were sent for from various cities in the East, but they could do nothing for him. Anew skin could not be grafted on, and it was but a question of a short time until the patient would bleed to death. —Nets Tori Journal. A Tooth From a Man’s Nose. A peculiar piece of dentistry was per formed yesterday, by which a tooth was extracted from William Barnhardt’s nose. Mr. Barnliardt was kicked by a horse sixteen years ago and some of his teeth were knocked out of place. When he had recovered from the injuries result ing from the kick he was troubled with a dull headache, which has scarcely ceased a day since that time. He also had a distressed feeling in the upper portion of the nose and supposed that he was suffering from catarrh. In course of time he discovered what he thought wan sn extra piece of bone and a doctor dug out one of the teeth. Since that time he had been troubled still more. There was still another tooth that had grown lonesome and longed to get out. Drs. Condon and Cook yesterday undertook the job of arresting the roving tooth, which had gathered little moss, and cap tured it. This is probably the first record of a tooth being extracted from a person’* nose.— Ogden (Cal.) Commercial. How the Paris Exhibition Closes. The exhibition closes at night in the following manner: The gates are all shut at 10:30 o’clock r. M., when the cannon on the Eiffel tower is fired at that hour to announce the fact. At 11:15 o’clock two drummers beat the tatoo in the gardens, while 200 policemen and fifty municipal guards, carrying lanterns, gradually clear the crowd off the grounds toward the Jean bridge, where the only exit is found. By 11:30 o’clock the ex hibition is empty, and ail trespassers found inside after that hour are arrested. Policemen patrol the place all night, and firemen hold themselves in readiness to start at any moment should an alarm b given.
