2 HOLMAN TO BE SWUNG. NO INTERFERENCE FROM THE GOVERNOR. Nothing: But a Respite Expected—Com missioner Henderson’s Agricultural Report Good State of the Georgia Crops Pullman Car Company and the Comptroller at Loggerheads. Atlanta, Ga., June 6. Unless respited, Holman, the Dalton murderer, will hang on Thursday, June 9. The Governor to-day, after a long and ex haustive consideration, became satisfied his duty was not to commute the sentence, and refused the application. Until within sev eral days past it was believed he would commute, but the people of Whitfield have since strongly opposed, and have made such a case that executive interference was ren dered impossible. The application will doubtless be made to respite, w hich under the circumstances may be granted. The Comptroller General and the Pull man Car Company are already in the Uni ted States Court over the collection of the special taxes of last year, the latter claim ing them unconstitutional because a tax on interstate commerce. To-day the Comp troller issued a fi lias of SSOO each against the Pullman and the Southern car compa nies, both controlled by the Pullman Com pany, for the special tax for the first quar ter this year, with a specific order to levy. Mr. Lochrane, counsel for the Pullman Company, says they will replevy and file a bill making the same fight as in the other Oases. Georgia’s agricultural report. Commissioner Henderson’s monthly re port, giving the condition and prospects of the crop for June, was first issued to-dav. It states'thefollowing:j‘‘Though the drought. ftrevailed throughout the State until the atter part of >lav, the growing crops gen erally are several jtoiuts better than last year. While cotton and corn are reported somewhat late, both are reported in good condition and well worked, healthy and quite ns promising as any crop for the past three or four years. At this stage, with moderate!i| fair seasons, it is safe to predict the b v'l crop of cotton and aorn trous! jfn ffected by the drought, hardly threcilourths of the crop being harvested; in far/; a part of the crop on the uplands is tofi low to be cut. The acreage in wheat is jlmall, but the crop is well grained and the /yield good. Little or no rust is reported in either wheat or oats. The reports of the other food crops, [xitatoes, rice, sugar cane and ground peas are very gratifying, and indicate a growing and more active interest on the part of the people in the production of home supplies.’’ The Richmond and Danville railroad this morning paid the State $£1,850 in’settle ment of a $58,000 first mortgage bond'of the Spartanburg and Asheville railroad ac quired by the State at the failure of the Citizen’s State Depository.

Macon, Ga., June 6.—The trial of the parties alleged to have been implicated in the lynching of Janies Moore, an ex-police man. on the night of Aug. 12 last, was begun in the Superior Court this morning. Judge J. T. Simmons presiding. Tlie court room was packed, tuere being scarcely standing room. No case ever tried here has attracted so much attention. The prisoners were arraigned as follows: An drew Johnson, Fred Perkins, J. G. Ford, Eugene Isaai-s. Michael Kelly and H. H. Parker. Johnson was represented by Col. J. L. Tysinger, of Thouiaston; Perkins by Willingham & Patterson, and the others by Messrs. Dessau and Clifford Anderson. The State was represented by Solicit or General Hardeman and the Attorney General. When the arraignment was about to lie made, the State severed John son, Perkins, Ford and Parker, were then arraigned. Johnson was the first man put on trial. The work of striking a jury was then begun. Two hundred and eighty had been lieen summoned. It was 4 o'clock when the twelfth man had been seated, 114 men having lieen called mid. questioned in the usual form. The following me the jurors: J. L. Perry, Merritt, Birdsong, J. B. Riley, T. N. Wilcox, A. P. Findlay, T. C. Drew. Eugene Nelson, William Flowers, W. G. Solomons, G. W. Haines, E. J. Free man and AValter S. Lamar. It was diseov Bred tefoi> the selection was complete that Flowers had married a niece of Moore. He was disqualified, and M. J. 'Ornie, the well-known plumber, was sub stituted. The list comprises well known business men of this city, all of them lieing prominently identified with Macon’s inter ests. In anticipation of the length of time it would require to select the jury, the State dismissed tne witnesses until to-morrow morning, hence when the jury was completed the court adjourned until to morrow morning at !i o’clock. The Jury was looki-d up. It, was found In selecting the jury that thirty-five were disqualified on account of a bias, eighteen on account of a partiality. seven from hav ing seen the crime or heard the testimony, *nd six from an opjiosition to capital pun ishment,. The trial of these men involves much public interest and promises to lie long and tedious, and perhaps celebrated. The evidence is largely circumstantial. Fire and Fright but Little Loss.

A Classic Mule Killed by a Classic Car in the Classic City. Athens, Ga., June 6. — Yesterday about 1 o'clock as a classic city street car was go ing down the hill near the Methodist church, on Hancock avenue, packed with people re turning from church, the brake chain broke and away went the car after the mules— who were doing all in their power to keep out of the way.

OUR JOLLY FISHERMAN. Grover Gets the Fish, Also Some Very Painful Mosquito Bites. Prospect House, N. Y., June 6.—Good hick attended the President to-day. The weather was delightful, a fresh breeze blow ing up the lake and showery clouds temper ing, but not always hiding the sun. Re ports from the guides led to a change of the programme arranged last night. Instead of the trip to the Rollins and Fleetwood pond, it was decided to spend the day on or near the Upper Saranac Lake. The Niats were got out at 10 a. in., and the President, Col. Lament and two other members of the party, with four boats and a guide, went off with their trolling lines out anti with abundant lunches aboard. Having trolled down the lake toward Birch Island, and having dispatched the tempting lunches, the return up the lake was made slowly. A shower set in late in the evening just as the boats were put into Fish Creek to give the 1 ‘resident a chance to take some speckled trout with n light rod. The crock was swarming with black flies and mosquitoes, which contested every foot, of the advance mode by the President's party. Having made ;i good fight, for awhile, the fishermen finally gave up the battle and retired with one sjieckled trout, •aught by the President, and with many evidences of the hail usages from their winged adversaries. After landing at the hotel at 7:30 o'clock the President’s fish were weighed. He had caught one weighing seven and three-quarter pounds, one of seven pounds, one of three and one of two pounds. It was the test catch, save one, of the day. J. M. Wyants, of New York, caught a twenty-three-pounder at the lower end of the lake and sent it as a pres ent to the President. This afternoon Mrs. Cleveland gave a ‘‘tea” to the ladies of the Saranac Inn. It was informal, but wits a most agreeable entertainment. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

An old lieo-keeper says that in localities where willows and hazel do not ateund it is well to feed tees with rye meal, as it is a good substitute for jxillen, which is the main ingredient in the bee-bread, on which young I ices ore fed.

YELLOW FEVER PRECAUTIONS. Strict Measures Taken by Oup .Florida Neighbors. The reports from nearly all tho leading towns of Florida, all agree in the fact that a thorough quarantine is now enforced and that all the towns are being put in a good sanitary comlition. Tiie sanitary condition of Tampa is good. It is perfectly clean, and hands enough are kept tit .work to keep it so. The strictest quarantine is enforced against Key West and Havana. Only mails and tobacco are passed and that is fumigated, None of the officers or crows of the steamers are allowed to come ashore. The Feniandina Board of Health met Friday ami declared a land quarantine against Tampa, Key West and Havana, with an inspector stationed at Bryceville. A rigid marine quarantine is also enforced. The health of the city is excellent. The health of Punta Rassa, on the Gulf, is exceptionally good, ns there has been no sickness of any kind during the Inst sixty days. A fifteen days quarantine is strictly enforced against all persons from Key West or persons having in anyway hadcommuica tion with vessels or persons f om Key West; and balding of nil description is prohibited from being landed at that port. No case of yellow fever was ever known there, and there is no cause for alarm. At Gainesville steps are now lieing taken towards establishing one against points south, though the danger is less since the es tablishment of a strict quarantine at points south of there. Gainesville is in a healthy condition, the city having been thoroughly cleaned, and there is very little sickness. Punta Gonla established a quarantine upon the first news of the Yellow Jack at Key West, and have lieen able to enforce it effectually against all vessels from the in fected lioints. The following have teen ap pointed as a board of health for DeSoto county by the Governor: Dr. E. O. Roeseh, Dr. A. McNary. W. I. Stetson and T. R. Hector. Charlotte harbor is absolutely healthy. The quarantine at Cedar Key was put in ojieration May 25. Sismgers ten to fifteen days <\it from Key West who put in for provisions were sent out immediately. No one is allowed to land. No vessel, with or without passengers, from Key West or Ha vana will be allowed to come to the city, which is clean am! healthy. A three masted schooner reported to be from the West In dies, is at the bar with an inspector on board. It will go into quarantine. The quarantine is being rigidly The revenue cutter Crawford is in port, and will assist in the enforcement of the quaran tine. Purser P. A. Lorimier, of the steamer Rosa, says that Dr. Wylie, the physician in charge of the sanitary matters at Sanford, had sent word by him to Dr. Kenworthy, Health Officer at Jacksonville, anti to all towns along the river that upon the first ap pearance ot a case of yellow fever at Tampa or along the line between Sanford and that place lie would immediately publish the fact. Sanford has teen cleaned up thor oughly. • Irange county has quarantined against all points south of Campbell’s on the South Florida railroad, and has a health officer there to enforce the quarantine. The St, Augustine Board of Health has established quarantine stations at Sweet water, Tocoi, East Tocoi and East Palatka against Tampa and Key West. These stations are approaches to St. Augustine. The City Council has ordered all excava tions stopped and the thorough sanitary in vestigation of the city. Postmaster Clark, of Jacksonville, re ceived a telegram Sunday from Mail Superintendent T. E. Nash, of AVash ington, stating that arrangements had been made te> fumigate thorough ly the Key West mail. The Jack sonville Board of Health insists, however, that letters must te punctured and disin fected, and the postmaster has requested the Washington authorities to so instruct Key West, DeLand, Green Cove Springs and Orange county have quarantined against Key West. Key West is over sixty nautical miles from the Florida mainland, so there need not, te any apprehension felt. No cases have been discovered on the mainland and there is but little danger of any, especially with the quarantine so rigidly enforced. THE PLANT STEAMSHIP LINE AND QUARANTINE. The Company Enforc.ing”Quarantine Regulations in Letter and Spirit. Savannah, Ga., June 6. —Editor Morn ing Nnes: in the report of the proceedings of the County Board of Health, at their meeting held on June 15, published in the Jacksonville Times-1 iiton of June 4, I note the closing remarks of the reporter relative to Mr. La lane. The injustice done this very worthy gentleman is so great that I feel it my duty to make a statement as to the atti tude ot the Plant Steamship Line towards the present quarantine regulations. It was the sincere desire of our company, if it could lx: effected without danger to the public health, to maintain communications with Key West and Havana the year around. The State at large (and the com munities of Key West and Tampa more par ticularly) were largely to be benefited if this could lie successfully car ried out. The different County Health Boards of the State met and formulated a sanitary code under which the line could te operated during the quarantine months. The Pliuit Steamship Line adopted them, issuing orders as to their strict enforcement, etc., and during the summer of 1886 the line was successfully operated, not a single case of sickness of aiiv kind being reported, with the exception of one fireman outlie Mas ootto, who was sent to the hospital at Key West, and remained there one week, suffer ing from a local disease, not infectious. Unfortunately, this summer tlie fever has made its appearance at Key West and the public are naturally alarmed ana excited. Oti Wednesday of last, week I saw Dr. Neil Mitchell, President of .Duval county Board of Health, and Dr. C. J. Kenworthy, health physician of Jacksonville, and, on behalf of the Plant Steamship Line, assured them that we won lit co-operate in any measure the different Boards of Health saw proper to adopt to prevent the introduction of the fever. <hi June 3 tho Tampa Board of Health passed an order prohibiting pussen gers or freight (other than tobacco) from be mg landed at Tampa. I received this order by telegraph on t he morning of June 4, and by direction of President. Plant Usual order No. 5 (copy enclosed). In addition I enclose copy of order No. :l dated June 4 and order No. 4of June 4. These orders were issued by telegraph and printed afterward. PrevioiLs to the issuing of order No. 4 I tele graphen our agent, T. B. Dick, on June 2 to arrange with fir. Wall at Tampa to open a quarantine camp on Tanqin Bay. We had furnished ti nts and necessary furniture for that purpise. This equipment, I am in fonhed, is now being used for passengers arriving by sailing vessels at Tampi, the stoamsliqw of our line not requiring their use. as they do not carry passengers. I give this brief history in order that the public can judge whether or not this company is endeavoring in good faith to carry but quarantine regulations. They will rowdily understand the great interest we have at stake in preventing the introduction of disease into tlie State. The insinuation that Mr. La lane, a former em ploye of this line, would not discharge his duly if it conflicted with the interest of the Plant Investment Company is a gross out rage to an honest, upright man, and equally gross and unjust to tins company, inasmuch as it insinuates that wo will not enforce projier regulations for protecting the State against the introduction of the fever. 1 have not the time or ability to indulge in newspaper controversies. Ido not desire to engage in one now, but when such reck less and apparently malicious state ments are published imputing unworthy motives to gentlemen and, by insinuation, charging this company with an intention to ••brtrov ' - Hie laws, I fee! justified in asking you to give this communication a place in your Columns. Very respectfully. C. I). Owens, Traffic Manager. The following are the orders which the Riant Steamship Line have issued: Office of Traffic Manager, I Savannah, June 2, 1887. ) Order No. 3 Paragraph 7of sanitary rules reading a.s fol lows: -l he agents of this line at Havana will re quire from every person desiring to take pas sage •by any vessel of this line from Havana during the period above mentioned (May 15th to November Ist.) as a prerequisite to obtaining such passage a written certificate from Dr. I).

Passengers from Key West north ward bound will l>o required to furnish a certiii cate from the health officer of that port that they are in no danger (practically speaking) of developing yellow fever or conveying the dis ease. provided there is epidemic prevailing at Key West. Until further notice the provisions of this rule will apply to passengers between Key West and Havana. No passenger will lx received on teard the ships of this company without the proper medical certificate as above stated. C. I>. I I WENS, Traffic Manager. Savannah, June 4, 1887. Order No. 4.

June 10 is the day announced tor the arrival of the find train of tiie Georgia Midland into Griffin. The engineering corps of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens (S. C.) railroad are engaged in locating the line between New berry and ProsjHT'ty. The election on voting a SIO,OOO subscription to this line from Newberry township will be held Thursday. An official statement of tlie earnings of the Richmond Terminal system shows that during May all of its lines returned in creased earnings. The Georgia Pacific road, whose traffic is through the Anniston and Birmingham iron district, leads with an increase of over 30 per cent. Longest Street Car Line in the World. The longest street oar line in the world is in Argentine Republic, South America, and it will also te the only line in the world to run sleeping oars for the accommodation of its patrons. The road has 200 miles of track, connecting a numter of towns in the vi cinity of Buenos A vreS, and its equipment has bean supplied by a Philadelphia car company. Horses are used as motive power instead of steam, because fuel is dear, horses cheap and the people are slow. Two tons of coal will buy a horse and harness. The sleeping cars are a curiosity. They are four in number, eighteen feet in length, and are furnished with four terths each, which are made to roll up when not in use. British Railway Accidents in 1886. A blue book has been published giving the returns of accidents and casualties as re ported to the Board of Trade by the several railway companies in the United Kingdom during the year ended December 81, 1886. There were eight passengers killed and 615 injured from accidents te trains, rolling stock and permanent way. against six killed and 436 injured in the year before; eighty-seven passengers killed and 727 wounded by accidents from other causes— such as falling between carriages and plat forms, getting into or out of carriages and the like—which numbers may te compared with ninety-six killed and 608 wounded in 188.5, Thus the total number of passengers killed in 1880 was ninety-five, which shows an improvement on the number, 102, for 1885. The number of injured, however, rose from 1,129 in 1885 to 1,512 last year. Progress of Track Laying-. • 'The liailtvay Age's reports of track lay ing during the past five months of 1887 show -11 total of 2,351 miles on 88 lines in 33 States and Territories. This is an addition of 787 miles last month, and gives a total which has never before been equalled at this season of the year, with the exception of that year of extraordinary railway building, {BB2, when the mileage constructed in the coun try reached the great total of 11,568 miles. More than half the track thus far reported laid is fixated as follows: Indian Territory, 3SK); Texas, 366; Kansas, 202; Dakota, 222, making a total in these lour jxirtions of the country f 1.240 miles, while California h.-is added 157, Colorado 107 and Nebraska 100 miles. None of the other Stales hav-e yet laid 100 miles each, but several of them will soon greatly exceed that figure. The work of construction is almost entirely confined to the new West, not a mile teing yet re ported from the New England (states or Nevv York, with the exception of Massa chusetts. in which 11 miles have been laid, and only nliout 30 miles are credited to Pennsylvania. The South is showing con siderable progress, Florida, Alabama and Georgia being in the lead, but the chief ac tivity is in the great central belt west of the Missouri river. THISTLE AHOY I The Fleet Scottish Yacht Again Wins and Enhances Her Reputation. London, June 6.—A brisk hi e -ze was blowing this morning when the yac-hts started in race tor Dover. The round course was forty-four miles. The Thistle led direetlV she turned Piercer within, her own length and was a quarter of a mile ahead of the other yachts at the end of two miles. When the Thistle had revered twenty-two miles, or half the length of the course, she led the Gene.sta by five minutes and forty two seconds. Tbelrex was third, one minute tehind the Genestn. A thick fog considerably interfered with the racers at first, hut cleared away soon. The Thistle was th-- fti-st to cross the finishing lino, leading tlie Genestn, which was second, by eleven minutes; the Irex third. The time was: The Thistle, 5:24:56; the Oenerta, 5:35:45, and the Irex, 5:86.-o.>. Deducting the time allowance the Thistle won by five minutes. Tho Genesta bent the Irex by half minnteonly, counting the time allowance. The wind was true throughout, and there was no (lucking. The prizes were A4O and a gold medal. It is an accepted superstition with the girl* nf Geneseo, 111., that any girl who walks nine roils on the railroad track without falling off, the next ino'i she speaks to will ho her future hus band.
