The Coming Fair.
J.ntut ,'VVirj from the Ditastcr—Fifty Killed

New York, July 31.—Thousands of |

V e arc pleased to announce that the I ^ 03 ^ ital this coming, eager to hear
Board of Directors of the Fair Associa-! something from their friends who were
tion is now at work in earnest, and we supposed to have been killed or injured
have no doubts now Of tho success of the S b >‘ yesterday’s explosion. A large force
r . v . • .i , ,, , of police were engaged in preserving or-
air. All obstacles m the way of the A general rush and excitement was
operations of the Bisectors are removed, occasioned. Of the forty dead bodies
and it will proceed more actively than that were brought to tbe Bellevue Hos-
ever with its work of preparation. * P ital yesterday, twenty have already been
, r , . . , .. 1 removed by their friends for interment.
Onetho most important questions. of th ' bodies stm afc tbe hosp ital,
connected witii the success of the Fair, j have been recognized, and will be re
moved to-day.
In the morgue there are eleven victims
of the explosion yet unrecognized. On
one slab are the bodies of n woman and
two children; on another slab, those of
a woman aud child, and on another, that
of a woman; there are five bodies of men.
Host of the bodies present a frightful
appearance, for in addition to the fact
that they are swolen and the features dis
torted by water, they have, in most cases,
been terribly scalded. Since early morn
ing a regular stream of people have been
passing in solemn file in and out of the
morgue, either from curiosity to witness
the awful spectacle of the nurecognized
dead lying there, or with a painful inter
est of trying and yet fearful of not recog
nizing amoug the yet unknown victims
the features of relative and friend. There
are about sixty injured victims of the
explosion in the wards at Bellevue Hos
pital. The surgeons slate that at least
half of them are beyond recovery,
v."About 9 o’clock this morning the body
of Malildy Nelson, aged seven, killed by
the explosion, was found' in the water at
the slip of Staten Ferry.
The latest news from the disaster is
that 50 were killed and 120 wounded.
H. W. Wilson, merchant of Louisville.
Kentucky, was severely scalded. Colonel
Muchi will die.

Office of Atlanta Daily Sun, ]
Atlanta, July 31, 1871. )
that of tl.o trials of speed in horses, will
bo settled by tho meeting of Directors
to-day. It is much to be hoped that the
Directors will not deprive the Fair of an
exhibition of blooded stock, as a very
largo proportion of the attcndace on fairs
is induced by the trials of speed. Some
of tho Northern States have discarded
horse racing at their agricultural fairs.—
This may be admissible there, wliero the
population is so numerous as^to sustain
such action. But here, where the popu
lation is sparse, it requires every possible
inducement, not discreditable, to obtain
visitors to the fairs to make them suc
cessful.
The Secretary of the Association, Mr.
Echols, starts for the West to-morrow to
work in tho interest of the Fair among
manufacturers and stock raisers.

MISCEGENATION.
White Strumpets anil Black Paramours,
A White Alan lu a Fix.
It seems that there is no depth of deg
radation into which women do not de
scend when they leave the paths of recti
tude. Downward and still deeper into
the quagmire of corruption and rotten
criminalty they continue to sink, until
all that is in them of humanity seems to
fly from the foul, reeking embodiment of
moral stench and filth. The law is too
lenient for such characters; they ought
to meet with instant sand summary pun
ishment as a sacrifice to outraged mor
ality. Last week two white women and
black apes were committed to answer the
charge of a violation of the State code,
and yesterday three more cases were added
to the list.
Sam. Manuel, negro, and a white wo
man, were bound over for fornication.
Hamp Whitehead, colored, and Lizzie
McDonald, white, bound over for forni
cation.
Booker Lawson, an apology for a white
man, and Ferreby Lawson, a negro wench,
were also bonnd over for the same offence.
These cases were all examined before
Justice Butfefe, and revealed an amount of
degraded sin we did not suppose to exist.
It is to be hoped they will never be
allowed to go at large again. There is no
such thing as reformation for creatures
who have sunken so low in the scale of
human degradation, and it is further to
be hoped that they will be fully and com
pletely abandoned to the clutches of the
law/
Policeman Kicklighter deserves the
thanks of the public for his services in
hunting up these miserable wretches.—
He proves himself a good and efficient
officer, and. well deserving of promotion
and compliment.
TUc Hoard of Trade.
We find that there is an enthusiastic
movement on foot among our merchants
to have Major B. E. Crane, of the firm of
Williams, Langston & Crane, made Presi
dent .of tho Board. Mr. Crane has not
been in the city for some weeks, but gen
tlemen who feel the deepest interest in
the success of the Board of Trade move
ment, are anxious to have him selected as
President. He will make a good one.—
Ho. is an active young man, and one of
the best merchants in Atlanta; aud if the
choice should fall upon him he will exert
himself to make the Board a successful
Jjatesl 1’arliciMnrs of the Ills inter.
‘Fifty-nine deaths have been reported
thus far, and one hundred and forty-two
wounded.
The Westfield attracts large crowds to
where she lies moored at the foot of East
13th street, in charge of Coroner Young.
All human remains, bits of clothing, etc.,
have been removed by the firemen to the
Morgue. - •
The force of the explosion was upward,
blowing away the main deck, the cabin
deck and the hurricane deck, in almost a
straight line across, a little forward of
the center of the boat. The bulwarks
forward were blown away, and the metal
shade around the funnel lies at the bow,
crumpled as if it had been paper. Iron
pipe, an inch thick, joined to the steam
supply chest, was torn away like doth
and hurled against the side of the boat.
Two water tanks were forced backward
toward the stem a considerable distance.
The after part of the cabin is compara-
tivdy uninjured.
FRANCE.
iTIiscellaneoits French Matter3.
Paris, July 31.—The fact that but few
ballots were cast at the ^municipal elec
tions, and that the great mass of voters
abstained from the exercise’of franchise,
is generally attributed to the continued
state of siege of Paris, which exercises
a baneful influence upon all classes of so
ciety.
The immense porcelain factories at
Sevres, the work in which has been en
tirely suspended since the commencement
of the siege of Paris by the Germans, is
to be at once re-established.
Thel acceptance of the resignation of
Jules Favre, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
has been confirmed.
President Thiers is consulting with
Gen. Cissey, with a view to increasing
the army. ,
The number of Communists awaiting
trial is 32,900. In order to render a dis
position of so great a number of cases
possible, a bill has been introduced in
the Assembly increasing the number of
judges and removing all restrictions from
those judges who have, at any time,
committed themselves against the Ver
sailles Government.
g£The result of the first and supplemen
tary elections for members of the Mu
nicipal Coundl of Paris has been de
clared. The Council is composed of 38
Conservatives, 7 moderate Republicans,
27 Republicans and 10 Ultras.
Thiers, replying to a delegation from
ihe occupied provinces, intimated that,
in six weeks the occupation by tbe Ger
mans would be limited to Champaire and
Lorraine.
TENNESSEE,
Jrrest of a Counterfeiter—Death of Captain
Todd.
Memphis, July 31.—R. B. McGee, for
merly a citizen of Trenton, Tennessee,
and prior to tbe war, President of the
branch of the State Bank at that place,
was arrested here to-day, charged with
passing counterfeit money. On search
ing his baggage §1,200 in counterfeit
United States notes were found. Owing
to the high social position enjoyed by
McGee, bis arrest has caused considera
ble sensation.
Capt. David H. Todd, formerly of Lex
ington, Kentucky, and brother of Mrs,
Abraham Lincoln, died at Huntsville,
REMARKS FOR THE WEEK.
During the week ending to-day, trade
has been unusually brisk for the season.
It has been a source of pleasure to see so
many evidences of prosperity. The week
has been marked by several important
events for the commercial men of our
city. The first is the movement set on
foot for the establishment of a chamber
of commerce, which bids fair to have a
happy termination. This is a subject
which had been previously pretty well
canvassed and received the endorsement
of every intelligent business man in the
community. At the meeting held for
that purpose on Saturday night, Mr. Nor-
cross struck the key note when he refer
red to the defenceless condition of Atlan
ta, and her inability to meet, with a uni
ted front, any encroachments sought to
be made by railroad and other monopo
lies. While other cities have their organ
izations by which they were fully protec
ted, Atlanta has suffered grievously from
freight discriminations. All this, he ar
gued, must bo remedied, if wo would,
have Atlanta a great commercial empo
rium. With Mr. Norcross we most fully
agree, and hopo.that on the meeting of
next Monday night final organization
will be completed, and then our commer
cial status will take shape and develop it
self into activity.
Another, and a lamentable, incident of
the week was the injury, to a great
extent, of the cotton crop by the recent
storms. The promised crop was small,
but now is much more so, judging from
conversations with leading planters. We
cherish the hope that the injury has been
exaggerated. As we have remarked in a
previous article, this cannot fail to influ
ence the cotton trade of the coming sea
son.
Tho third event of interest was the re
duction in breadstuff’s. The Western
market was very fluctuating, but the ten
dency to fall has been very strong, and
as we write flour is reduced 25 cents, and
so of the rest. This we deem an impor
tant fact at this time, and one indicative
of still further decline.
In general matters, such as dry goods,
money, hardware, etc., much spirit has
been exhibited, though: the tendency to
speculate has been interfered with by the
tightness of money.
REMARKS FOR TO-DAY.
The general turn of the market to-day
has been dull, and but little retail or
wholesale demand has been felt. Mon
day, as a general thing, is a dull day, as
it is spent in surveying the situation for
the coming week. As business does not set
in in good earnest till tbe second or third
day, much fluctuation in quotations is
not to be looked for. The leading de
mand seems to be for breadstuffs and dry
goods. In agricultural implements there
is much competition, and quite a strong
tendency to “come down” on other deal
ers. This branch has, in the past year or
so, grown to be quite an item in our
trade. It is one which we are proud to
see encouraged, as it indicates intelligent
farming. We have been told that all im
proved patterns have been eagerly bought
up. During the year the seed trade has
developed into some prominence, and is
still receiving a great deal of attention.
We learn that one of our most intelligent
young dealers contemplates making ar
rangements so as to get his supply of
seeds direct from the growers instead of
th8 dealers. This movement, if effected,
will occasion a revolution in prices.
FINANCIAL.

at any previous time during the week.—

ton Presses, and, after a full and fair trial, do not hesitate to pronounce it tho most rapid, of lightest
draught, most powerful—in fact, the best (without an exception) Cotton Press I ever saw. Between this
and aU other Iron Screw Presses I have ever seen or used, there is just simply no comparison. Every
planter should use your Press. JOHN L. GILBERT.
P. S—You may consider my order in for two more of the above Presses for next season, and may look
for many orders from this section : my neighbors are determined to kavo them, as they can pack by hand
twice as fast as any of tho other Iron Screw Presses can by horse power. J. L. G.
Since last faR, and before accepting Patent, we added improvements aud labor-saving conveniences—
rendering it PERFECT in every particular. The screw or pin, has a pitch, or fall, of 6% inches ; that is,
at every turn of the scrw, follower block descends (or ascends, ns tho case may be) 63^ inches. The dc-
vice of the tube or nut in which the screw work*, is such as to materially reduce the friction, so great in tho
common screw ; thereby rendering it an easy task for three hands to pack a bale of cotton in HALF THE
TIME OF. ANY OTHER Iron Screw Press by horse-power. [See J. L. Gilbert’s certificate.! When desira-
y*. ordl ; n;lry rnulcc y‘. 1 ! 9 . substituted for three men withont change of fixtnres. STRENGTH, DCBA-
BILITi, R.\_IDITY, LIGHT DRAUGHT, and STANDING ROOM attop of box, etc., etc., in short, we pro-
nounce it tboB~Sl Screw Press IN THE WORLD, aud respectfully invite a public test with any aud ail
