It thought that the business can be disposed of in one week. The Albany Oil Mill Company have greatly improved its plant, which is now supplied with all modern improvements and facilities. A pair of truck scales have been put down in front of the mill and a suctio.i flue, which unloads a ear of seed and con ducts them to the seed room, are among the most important improvements. The mill is run day and night, being lighted at night by electricity which is generated in the building. The seed of this season yields a fair proportion of oil. The run for one day of this mill pours out an average of about 1.400 gallons. James U. Jackson, one of the directors of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, has on exhibition in his office, at Augusta, the exhibit to be made by the railroad at the Piedmont Exposition. It is a circular track, running through two tunnels and passing a station, water tank, etc. On the track is a miniature steam engine and train of cars. The engine is only about six inches in length, but is perfect in every detail nnd runs by steam, drawing the cars around the track at a rapid gait. It is the work of an Augustian, J. W. Simmons, and would reflect credit upon any one. A colored man, living near Smith ville, forbade his daughter to receive the atten tions of a dusk Adonis who was paving court to her, but having reason to suspect a clandestine meeting of the lovers, on Wed nesday last he locked the damsel up in the house and went on to his work. Returning, he was surprised to hear low voices in con versation within, though the door was still locked. On entering he discovered the youthful Romeo, who had gained admission by sliding down the chimney, his mahogany countenance besmeared with soot. “Da ain't no use in stoppin’ dem,” he said. “Do debbil is atter dem, but de lawd work wid um. TVem go long!” In Dooly county. Wednesday night, Tom Godwin and Bob Hogan, two negroes on Gus Morgan’s place, got into a difficulty about the wife of Hogan.

The second one will be known as the Merchants National. Several carloads of lumber were receive! last week for the erection of new buildings in Poppoll’s Addition to Seville. By the granting of the liquor licenses at Palatkn tne State is richer by $2,800, and the city and county $1,400 each. The dissolution notice of Baker Bros., of Seville, appears. R. C. Davis having re tired, W. R. Baker will continue the busi ness. At Palatka Saturday Collector Price re ceived *SO in $lO and S2O gold pieces that looked as though they had been hoarded for years. The canal, which is being cut by the Se ville Company, from Lake Louise into up per Louise, is rapidly nearing com pletion. South-bound freight trains are al! heavily loaded.

At the meeting of the Clay County Com missioners, on Monday, it wa-s resolved to take action upon the suggestion of the grand jury, and offer a reward of $.5(10 for the ar rest ami conviction of the murderer or mur derers of Grant Connor. The board also solicited Gov. Perry to offer a like reward. A large covey of part ridges have taken up a homestead in the Green Cove Spring Park. These bird- are as reckless as they are insolent, and their numbers are rapidly diminishing from the effects of well directed stones, with which several persons have scored a bird, one party having killed two birds at one throw. A trestle on the Western railway, at Highland branch, caught fire on Wednesday evening, and so damaged the structure that trains have been unable to pass over the road sinee that date. A large foree of workmen are repairing the trestle, and it was ex|ected that the only engine now in use, and which is on the western end of the road, would be able to cross Saturday. Saturday, Oct, 1. while Harry Sams, of New Smyrna, was fishing near the piles at the mouth of the ere -k that leads to Bryan’s store, he heard n humming sound which grew louder and louder, and present ly a meteorolite, rendered red hot by by its pas sage through the air, struck the water some fifty yards front his boat, and disappeared annd a cloud of smoke and a shower of spray. Harry pulled up his anchor and got away from there. A little steamer, the Susie May, belong ing to Capt. Vanderpool, a fisherman, was burned on Tuesday last at Red Bay Point, a short distance above Green Cove. The crew left the boat at anchor at the point named, and came down to Green Cove in the morning, and upon returning at noon found t hat the steamer had burned during their absence. The steamer was 40 feet long and 12 feet beam. Her hull and boiler were saved, and the owner will have her rebuilt immediately. S. Sanders Neck is in communication with Dr. Bronson, of the Birmingham or “Diagonal” road. The doctor will be in Ocala soon. The road will be built, and will pass in nearly a direct line from Ocala to Bronson in one direction, and Moss Bluff in the other. With this new road; the ex tension of the Silver Springs, Orlando and Gulf ; the erection of two fine school build ings, one for the white youth and the other for the colored; the remodeling and enlarg ing of the court house; water works, elec tric lights, paved streets, and a sober jieo ple, Ocala is Imtmd to “whiz.” The steamer W. G. Little, of the Choctaw hatchie river, will immediately go to Black water to be docked for the repair of dam ages sustained when she was sunk a few months ago. The Raisin Fertilizer Com pany have contracted for the building of another steamer to be used on the Choetaw hatehie, and the vessel's construction is under way at Milton. The new boat will be 110 feet in length by 20 feet in beam, with 30-inch guards. The machinery of the defunct Little Anna, which is almost as good as new, will be us*-. 1 on the new boat, which will be completed in sixty days. St. Andrews Messenger: The originators of some very ridiculous and scandalous stories which are so greedily listened to ana industriously peddled from mouth to mouth, among the male and female gossipers of this little town, are very little if any worse than the ones who keep passing them around, and the whole clique of scandal-mongers are liable to suddenly find themselves in trouble. A yeer’s imprisonment, or* a fine of one thousand dollars, or both such fine and imprisonment, is the penalty for libel in this State, ami a vigorous application of it w-otild .teach some in this community a lesson they would not soon forget. Strange as it may seem, the County Com missioners have declared that there has been IK) election held on the “wet” ami “dry” subject in Hernando county. The saloons are wide open, dispensing the wet article. Each saloon on Saturday, Oct. 1, deposited with the County Clerk the neeessarv Amount for license. The difficulty seems to be that, as the Biqiervisors of Registration and County Judge received the returns as they came in and subsequently turned them over to the County Clerk, making affidavit that they were turned over as received, the Clerk holds that no returns have been re ceived by him. The Commissioners allowed bills to-day of insneotion of election, held Sept. 2ti. Everything is moving along quietly and no trouble is anticipated. The county lieing wet by a majority, tlio public seem disposed to abide by the result. SOUTH CAROLINA. Col. George D. Hulet, of Edgefield county, died a day or two ago full of years aiid honors. Warren DuPre and Miss Carrie Duncan, daughter of Bishop Duncan, were married at Spartanburg on Wednesday. Phil House (colored) was killed by War ren Walters, also colored, on W. A. Wiley's place, seven miles from Ellenton, over in Barnwell county. A commission has been issued by the Secretary of State for the organization of the Greenville Savings Bank. The corpo rators are J. WilkinsNorwood, Frank Ham mond, James L. Orr, James H. Maxwell, E. H. Fullenweiler, George G. Wells and T. T. Earle, all of Greenville. The celebrated ease of the South Carolina Steamboat Company a gait# l the South Carolina Railway Company for refusing to put a draw in their bridge over the Con garee was heard in court at Columbia last week, and resulted in an order that the rail road company remove the obstruction. During tlie month of Septemtier, the first since the inauguration of the free delivery of mail in Columbia, the carriers delivered 18,515 letters and collected 15,957. Both the numbers delivered and colic. 1 tel are in creasing daily, as the citizens are fast giv ing up their private lioxes and depositing their letters in the street boxes. The Red Bank mills, of Columbia, have given out the contract for the necessary machinery to lie used in manufacturing dress ginghams out of their own.yarn prod uct, An order hasalso been given for lumber for the construct ion of n new build ing, This is the first mill in this State that, has gone into the manufacture of such fine goods of such difficult weaving. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1887. Books for subscription to the stock of the Greenville Savings Bank were opened and kept open from 10 a. in. to p. rn. Tuesday. The entire capital stock of $25,000 was sub scribed in a very few hours, all by local in vestors, with the exception of two amounts of $l,OOO each, taken by AVilliam Pelzerand the Carolina Savings Bank, of Charleston. The organization will lie completed anil the bank opened for business at once. The Secretary of State has commissioned P. A. Emanuel and J. E. Murray to incor porate the Aiken Mining ana Porcelain Manufacturing company, with its principal place of business at the Long Kaolin Mine, near the town of Aiken. The objects of the corporation will lie to mine, manipulate, manufacture and sell kaolin and porcelain and other kaolin and clay products. The capital stock of $50,000 will be divided into 500 shares of $ 100. The Southern Colton Oil C"i>u ipaiiy have established an electric light plant in connec tion with their business at Columbia, and have already commeni-ed lighting their buildings therewith. They are now running 112 incandescent lights, which numher wifi shortly be increased. The work on the buildings is rapidly approaching comple tion, and the arrival of an important piece of machinery will be the signal for setting the work in motion. At Sumter Thursday night between 10 and 11 o’clock a small house on the land of 1.. N. Barwick, about a mile below town, was burned. The cause of the fire is un known. The loss will amount to about $7OO Insurance $5OO, in the Liverpool, London and Glolie Company. Friday a warrant was sworn out against the occupants of the house. Richard Jennings and his wife and daughter, charging them with arson. The r ase was investigated liefore Trial Justice 11 av ns worth and dismissed for want of evi dence. Engineer Ellis and his assistants are busily engaged in laying the masonry for the superstructure of the new bridge 'to be built for the Columbia, Newbeiry and I .aureus railroad over Broad river. The bridge will commence on the Columbia side of the river a little north of the foot of Elm wood avenue and run across in a north westerly direction to the Lexington shore, a distance of over 2,000 feet. The caisson, in which the laborers will work while con structing the masonry, was sunk Thursday. It is 45 feet long and 24 in width. The builders have contracted to complete the work in six months. The committee of penitentiary directors have inspected the tract of 4,.'00 acres of land in Lexington county, the purchase of which it is proposed to ask the legislature to authorize. It embraces the site of old Granby, about three miles lielow Columbia. Alxjut 2.0U0 acres are cleared, 1,000 being upland and the remainder bottom land, but above the reach of floods. The owners are John and Alliert Taylor. They have made an offer to sell this tract, and it is probable that the inspecting committee will report favorably on its purchase. It is estimated that with convict labor the tract can easily lie made to pay each of the annual install ments due for the purchase. The peniten tiary board will have a special meeting in advance of the next regular one, for the purpose of considering this matter. At the late meeting of the Bethel Presby tery at Bethel church, York county, a reso lution was adopted to the effect that the time had not arrived for the establishment of an organic union, or closer relations be tween the Southern Presbyterian church and the Northern Presbyterian church. The resolution was sustained by the Rev. Dr. Jordan, of Winnsboro’, and the Rev. Mr. Marion, of Lancaster, while the Rev. Mr. Neville, of Blaekstocks, opposed it. The Rev. George Nummey was elected Stated Clerk of the Presbytery ,in place of the Rev. Mr. Webb, who has been called to the pastorate of the church at Davidson College. The pastoral relations between the Rev. Mr. Jennings and the Rock Hill Presbyterian church were dissolved, Mr. Jennings having accepted a call to Macon. The Rev. Mr. McAlpiu tendered his resig nation of Bullock’s Creek church to go to Huntersville, N. C. Viney Fraser, a colored woman living at Pringle’s, about six miles from Walterboro, was found murdered in the woods near her house. Trial Justice J. H. Griffin immedi ately repaired to the scene, impaneled a jury and held an inquest. They examined carefully the body of the unfortunate woman, who had been missing from Sunday evening till Wednesday, when found, and discovered the clothing torn from her chest and every evidence of a desperate struggle before death. The mouth was filled with a crocus bag to prevent her cries being heard and a piece of cloth bandaged over a ghastly wound on the head. Both arms aro broken anil an ugly gunshot wound was discovered iu her side. Trash was piled partly over the body, and from all appearances the mur derer took the life of his victim not at this spot, but brought it there to hide away. Her husband, Prophet Fraser, was accused of the crime, and from several points of circumstantial evidence, which pointed di rectly to him as the perpetrator of the das tardly deed, the jury brought in the verdict that Viney Fraser came to her death from a wound inflicted by a gun in the hands of her husbaad, Prophet Fraser. The mur derer was immediately arrested. LESSER GODS OF WALL STREET. They are Unknown to Fame, But Have Full Pocket-Books. New Yokk, Oct. B.—ln these rather list less times in Wall street when the tradiqg is largely what is termed “professional”—that is, confined to board room operators and a few' others —we hear considerable of a class of speculators not known to the general public, though in a certain sense they are of no little importance. They are the lesser gods of the speculative Olympus. At times they bring an anxious look to the faceof the greater powers. Commodore Arthur Bate man is much better known than some of t he others, and need not. now be dwelt upon. Thomas W. Pearsall has been identified with big operations’ on the bear side of the market, but is understood to lean to the other side now. He is about ">0 years of age, pleasant in manned and a shrew and operator. When Manhattan was worth little or nothing he was sharp enough to load up with it, and he made a million, it is understood, oil the big rise before the col lapse some time ago. He got into Richmond Terminal on the ground floor a year or so ago, and is said to have made another mil lion in that deal, as well as considerable in Canadian Pacific ami Manitoba, in which i\>ads he is n director, as he is also, 1 believe, in the Richmond and Danville. Clearly he is an operator of no small importance in Wall street. Addison Cammack is indis putably a speculative power. Yet after all his name is known to only a com paratively limited number of pei-sons out side of Wall street. He is about years of ago, has a young wife and baby; is worth, according to various estimates, from $.',000,- 00(1 to $10,000,1100, and is said to have once lent Jay Gould, when in a tight spot, t~,- 000,000 without so much as a scrap of paper as security. He is very gruff in his manners, used to be in business at the South, was in terested in blockade-running during the war, went to Liverpool after the war and en gaged in the cotton business, returned to this country, was pardoned by President Johnson, went into the liquor business in New’ York, joined the late Charley Osborn —the only broker who kept well ahead of Jay Gould in retaining the commissions re ceived from him—ana ultimately embarked in speculative enterprises on his own ac count, and seems to have been very success ful. He pays liberally for advance informa tion of events likely to influence the stock markets and always seems to know before hand of any important railroad strike. He has even been accused at times of fomen ting strikes, notably at St. Louis a year or so ago when he was a bear on stocks and wonld naturally l>e benefited by a strike. He is said to have influenced a labor leader to keep up the strike after Mr. Powderly had declared against it. There is a financial prophet named Benner, who show’s a genius in t he matter of railroad statistics and stock I prices, and who tries to predict the finan- * j eial weather, or in other words the stock fluctuations for years ahead. His hook* of I prophecies is as "a lamp to the feet of rough [ old Addison -Cammack a- he treads the [ speculative labyrinths. No Mussulman re gards the Koran with greater veneration than this hard-headed obi cavalier regards this book of books, the twaddle of Benner. Achilles, it is rumored, was vulnerable hi bis heel, and Cummack. the >ulker of Wall street, has a soft, mellow like spot in his otherwise hard, round head. Harvey Durand is one of the galloping troo|>ers of the stork market. He used to lie a small scalper, but some lucky turns on the bull side have made him an operator of some promineni-e. He is 40 years old. short, broad-shouldered, wears a full beard and parts it in the middle. Henry Hart, who has just been summa rily ejected from the !’residency of the Pa cific Mail Kteamshin Company to give place to young George Goukl,has limited Ids oper ations iu Wall street mainly to tl# stock of that corporation. "He tried a Chatham street trick oil Jay Gould in the previous election for officers of the Pacific Mail, and while holding out the presidency of the company as a iiait to young Gould quietly appro priate! it for himself. He deposited his squat, unctions person in the Presidential chair with a leer and a wink, and enjoyed the joke hugely until he found that Papa Gould would liot aliow his son to remain in the directorate by which he had been neglected, and that the elder Gould was after his scalp with a scalping knife or razor edge. Hart had a big block of Pacific Mail, which somehow kept declining in value after he became Pro. ident In vain did he pepper Wall stmt with bull points on the stock; it sank lowtr and lower, and Hart's profanity ard obscene allusions to Gould could not stop it. The pudgy little Hebrew was finally’ driven to despair, and resigned the presi dency to save himself. Taken altogether he is a unique figure in Wall street. He used to be a pawnbroker, and is now worth $5,000,(XX) or $0,000,000. He is noted for his coarse manners, filthy language and finan cial keenness. He will go into Russell Sage’s office and ask the clerks; “is old Sage in?” or “Where the h— is old Sage?” His coarse remarks to Sidney’ Dillon on one occasion nearly gave that amiable old gen tleman a fit. His reference to Gould as the swindling offspring of a female animal of the canine species long ago ceased to lie a novelty. J. Rogers Maxwell, President of the Mew Jersey Central railroad and who is a direc tor in the Long Island, the Ohio Southern and the Indiana, Bloomington and Western roads has attained some prominence in the speculative arena. He is a square man, shrewd and well liked. James B Houston, ex-President of the Pacific Mail company, keeps in the back ground, but is assoiflated with Thomas Pear sall. He came originally from Washington, but passed some y ears on the sea. He was stationed at A spin wall for some years and is familiar with the whole Panama region. He knows all about the trade of the great Southwest. He is worth half a million, won mainly by strict attention to the affaire of the Pacific Mail and judicious operations in its stock. He is not a man of exceptional ability, but has not a little “horse sense” and is considered faithful to official trusts confided to his care. He is greatly interested in horses and is a member of several jockey clubs. He is known as “Buck” Houston, from his middle name. Buchanan. John D. Slav back, the well-known room operator, used to lie quite wealthy, but dropped considerable in unfortunate opera tions. He is a Sunday school superinten dent and much interested iu religious matters. Charley’ John°s, the “Black Jack” of the Stock Exchange, used to be a clerk for Henry Clews, but is now worth a million. He has the handsomest bachelor apartments in Mew York. He is known as the king of the board room traders and is one of the most popular speculators in this country. He is full of pluck and dash. Such o|Men tors do not go in for long pulls. They op erate much as Hutchinson, of Chicago, does in grain; that is. they are in ami out all the time; bulls to-day and bears to-morrow. Johnes may go home long of S,(XX) or 10,000 shares or short that amount, or he may close up all his operations on the same day quick as a flash, skimming or of 1 per cent, on some thousands of shares. He jumps quick and takes a “scalp” on hand rather than wait for a big profit in the bulk. In times of morbid apprehension like those through which Wall street has recently passed, such men are very dangerous operators. They pound a stock w’ith offerings of thousands of shares, and drive it down with lightning rapidity in spite of all opposition. Oscar Willoughby Riggs. FURNISHING GOODS. SHOOT If If!
