he visited Paris iu disguise.
The Senate court to-day resolved itself
into a legislative chamber, and on tho ad
vice of M. Develle, raised a question of the
court’s competency to try Gen. Boulanger.
The president of the Senate will request the
mem be: s to pledge themseves to secrecy re
garding the proceedings. The members of
the right refused to give a pledge of se
crecy on the ground tbat as the in
dictmens had been widely published
they had the right to publicly express their
opinions on the case.
The right moved that the court was in
competent to try Gen. Boulanger because
the allegations in the indictment did not
constitute treason. The motion was re
jected by a vote of 212 to 51. The right
afterward met and decided to take no fur
ther part in tho proceedings.
The vote on the question of the compe
tency of the Senate court to try Gen. Bou
lange- is regarded as an indication of tho
final result of the trial. It is believed that
a largo majority of' the members will vote
against Gen. (ffmianger.

AUGUSTA’S BURNED ASYLUM.
It Was the Largest and Wealthiest In
the State.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 12.—The Augusta
Orphan Asylum, that magnificent edifice
which has for years been an object of inter
est and pride to this city, is now a disman
tled wreck. Last night’s special gave the
facts of the burning aud value of the build
ing, but a fuller account of the institution
will bo of iuterast, it teing perhaps the larg
est and wealthiest institution of its kind in
Georgia. It was built by Contractor VV. H.
Goodrich, aftor plans furnished by D. B.
Woodruff, architect. It was begun in
December, 1870, and completed sufficiently
for occupation in December, 1873,
and had accommodations for 125 orphans,
together with school rooms, teachers and all
needed attendants. It was a richly endowed
institution, its capital stock being worth
*350,000 in 1870, when the building was
begun. Isaac 8. Tuttle, who died in 1855,
left $50,000 to the association, and in 1859
his step-son, Dr. George M. Newton, died,
leaving $200,000 to the institution. It was
incorporated in a small way in 1852, and
has steadily grown by the increase of its
capital and these munificent endowments
until the present beautiful home was
built. It was five stories high
aud a modol of architectural beauty.
So great is the local interest in the insti
tution that the Chronicle got out an extra
this morning giving a cut of the building,
and history ot the institution, an t tho fac s
of tho loss and insurance. There is no in
formation about, tho origin of the fire.
A. F. Ware, the principal, said that it
started iu the north vying. Tho laundry is
located in this wing, but no fire is ever
used on Sunday. Ho thinks it caught in
some way Saturday night and gradually
worked its way up through tho building
until a store room on the top floor was
reached, whore it found full play and in
flammable material. .
When originally built by Contractor
Goodrich the structure cost in an unfinished
state $116,090. Since that time over
$22,000 of itnprovemci ts hove been made,
making a total of $138,035. Yesterday’s
fire destroyed tho roof and three top floors.
The walls continue standing, ami from tho
third floor down are almost intact.. Against
this there is a total msurauce of $69,090, as
follows:

Liverpool aud London and Ulobo 5,000
I insurance Company of North America... 5,000

The institution is able to refcu Id at once,
and this will be done.

spirits, but anxious that the case should bo
concluded as soon as possible. District At
torney Neville is in attendance, conducting
the prosecution.
PEOPLE CAME FOR MILES.
People came tor miles around to-day,
mostly out of curiosity to see tho pugilists.
Sullivan was in good numor and conversed
with all who came iu contact with him.
All of the accused are here except Pat
Duffy, whose absence was accounted for by
tho district attorney who had tailed to notify
him. Goneral Superintendent Carroll, of the
Queen and Crescent, was not present, buttlio
general belief is that lie will not bo indicted
by the grand jury. The foreman of the
grand jury is T. R. White, a null owner
ad merchant at Poplarville. When one
of the .-tunds at Richburg fell during the
light Mr. White was the only per on in
jured. The grand jurymen are an intelli
gent body of men and are highly spoken of
by the citizens.
THE JUDGE’S CHARGE.
Judge Terrill in his charge to the grand
jury, after referring to the wicked, illicit
traffic in liquor in this vicinity, continued:
Gentlemen—But little need be said of the
prizn light which took place at Richhurg on
July 8, last. Tho principals in the said light,
and all the accessories tiefore and after the act,
are guilty of a high misdemeanor. Alight hy
consent, without anger or ill will between the
two parties, without any stake, reward, or prize
whatever, would be a serious crime under our
law, rna le by legislative enactment. You
are bound by your conscience to act upon tho
law as declared to you from this stand. Anger
or ill-will is not necessary to const!
tute the crime of assault and bat
tery, nor does the consent of the party
take away the guilt of the offense. A battery
is unlawful, physical force inflicting Injury or
hurt upon another, whether done In malice or
wautouuess: it need not be In anger.
THE DEFENSE SATISFIED.
The delivery of the charge occupied about
fifteen minutes. Tho for the de
fense, who wore attentive listeners, pro
nounce the charge very fair aud moderate.
Outside of the legal gentlemen the opinion
prevailed that, under the charge, it would
bo impossible to find an indict
ment against any but Sullivan and Kiirain.
Several citizens were at a los to see how
Fitzpatrick could bj considered aider or
abettor when the referee is selected on ac
count of his fairness and disinterestedness.
This point was generally disousssod.

FLORIDA SUGAR.
The Southern Pine Lands Making Ex
traordinarily Large Crops.
From the 3t. Louis Republic.
Kissimmee, Fla.. July 20.—Tho Ameri
cans are considered tho most inquisitive
p -ople on earth. Brother Jonathan is noted
the world over for the numerous questions
he can ask. If the inquiries that are con
stant ly pouring in upou us iu regard to the
times lands for vegetables and reclaimed
lauds for sugar-cane are a sample, I can
well understand how we gamed such a
reputation.
1 felt so inquisitive about the wonderful
reclaimed and muck lands that I took a run
down in that country to satisfy myself
abi ut their being as fertile as represented.
1 found nature in her sunniest mood, ami
the whole Kissimmee country a vast ocean
of verdure.
It is not the reclaimed lands that produce
tho richast sugar cane. It has been demon
strated that the cane which was first
planted in small quantities on pine land as
an experiment has yielded more and far
richer cane than that raised on reclaimed
land.
As tho train rushed along the shining
steel rails and smooth road bed of the Bouth
Florida railroad, thousands of acres of mag
nificent orange groves, vegetable farms,
banana plantations, sugar cane and tobacco
fields were passed. The primeval forest,
awaiting the woodman’s ax, the virgin soil
untouched by the hardy plowman, unfolded
to the vision like the witching charm of a
swiftly-moving pa orama. The lakes of
this region add a charm to tho landscape
that might otherwise grow monotonous.
Tho picturesque homos which are sit uated
upon these beautiful lakes astonish one by
the variety and beauty of their architecture.
One is scarcely prepared to find “in distant
wilds by liumnn oyo unseen" homes which
betoken so much culture and refinement.
Gardens of tropical splendor surround
every home, roses and jessamine surround
each door and convince one of tho prodigal
nature of the climate and soil.
Tho St. Cloud sugar fields present one of
the prettiest sights to bo found anywhere
in Florida a sight to make the" sugar
planter’s heart dance for joy. From its
present appearance 2,000,000 pounds of
sugar is not considered by good judges an
over-estimate of the crop.
It is bard to imagine all these improve
ments made upon a spot which but a few
•short years ago was a wild waste of waters.
It shows wbat labor and the ingenuity of
man can accomplish.
I believo that the pine lands and re
claimed lands of South Florida will, in a
few short years, furnish two-thirds of the
sugar supply of tho United .States, when it
becomes known what a fortune is iu store
for him who can own aud cultivate a South
Florida sugar plantation.
Tho west, with tier tantalizing and disap
pointing mining schemes and severe climate,
will lose her charm for people looking for
investments.
Truck farming is just beginning to be
profitable in this region. Acres anil acres
all along the railroad are devoted exclusively
to vegetables aud they mature here before
the snow and ice have disappeared in the
northern markets.
It now seoins to us that the great fertility
of tho soil of this part of Florida would have
been one of the most patent facts even to
the first Inhabitants, but such was not the
case. They produced almost nothitig; pur
chased everything. Most of the articles
consumed were imported from the north,
but after a few experiments and beating
about of enterprise, the people are discover
ing more and more every year the groat re
sources of the soil.
Tho lands that are devoted to the culture
of sugar cane are a source of never ending
interest and curiosity to all. People are
constantly writing and inquiring for par
ticulars in regard to the yield of laud and
of the cane.
It has been demonstrated beyond a doubt
that the cane grown on the reclaimed land,
and, in fact, on any land in South Florida,
is far richer and yields a much larger per
cent, of saccharine matter than the Louisi
ana, Mississippi, Cuban or Central Ameri
can caue.J
Although tho wet weathor did great dam
age to last season’s crop, the crops of 1888
and 1889 on the St. Cloud plantation
amounted to 569.000 pounds of dry oe itri
fugal sugars and 85,000 gallons of molasses.
They were compelled to loavo untouched in
the fields 115 acres of cane, as it was unfit
to grind—the effect of high water. O -ving
to the acidity of tho upper portion of the
ca e that was cut it had to be cut half in
two, the bad portion left in the field entail
ing heavy loss in tonnage and sugar.
The same crop under ordinary circumstan
ces, the cane having matured, would have
yielded not less than 1,500,900 pounds. Tho
elements conspired to render the crop short.
Tho long continued and heavy rains cause
tee immaturity of the cane. In proportion
to the sugar made, the quantity of molasses
was about three times too great, which
shows bow green and juicy the oane was.
All these items go to show what a won
derful cane producing country Mouth Flor
ida is. The unusual rainy weather of the
early pai tof tho winter interfered to such
a great extent with tho maturing of
the cane that the productiveness of this
season is not a fair example of what a typi
cal season can produce.
All tho adjacent country of South Flor
ida produces just as good sugar cane as tho
reclaimed lands, but not in so largo quanti
ties per acre.
Ttie mill and machinery have given the
most perfeo:. satisfaction. It has been given
two thorough Trials, and it can, beyond a
doubt, easily manipulate 500 tons per day,
winch gives 75,090 to 80,090 pounds of dry
sugar per day, or about 2,000,000 pounds a
month, or 6,090,000 pounds for the season of
throe months.
The Ut. Cloud mill has introduced an in
novation in the baga-se furnace. It con
sumes all the mashed cane or bagasse, which
furnishes all the steam power needed to run
regularly night and day the entire factory.
Ttns item alone is a wonderful saving in
the cost of fuel. The automatic bydraulio
pressure regulators, the inventions of John
D. M. Donald, worked splendidly and saved
many thousand dollars in repairs.
A railroad has been built und will soon
be finished to the English settlement, Nar
coossoe. The town of Runnymede is beau
tifully located upon East Lake Tohonekal
iga. This roud taps all the sugar lands,
mid servos as a feeder to the main lino of
the South Florida railroad.
livery facility is furnished for the trans
portation of all the products to the nearest
markets. Enthusiasts claim that it costs less
to till the soil and bring forth productive
crops in these fertile lauds than in any
other agricultural country in ail of Uncle
Saul’s broad dominions.

A RACE HOW AT ATLANTA.
THOUSANDS OF WHITES ABM TO
FIGHT THE NEGROES.
The Excitement Caused by a Report
That the Blacks' Intended to*Burn
Supt. Lyons and His Daughter in
Effigy The Caucasians Bound to
Frevent It.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 12. —The city was
was worked np to a high pitch of excite
ment to-night, and a bloody riot is antici
pated. The excitement was the result of
threats by tho uegi oes that they would re
taliate on the whites for tho burning in
effigy of Buck aud Ixswis, for putting a
negro clerk in the postoffice with a white
lady. A largo eloment of the negro popu
lation lias been very sullen and threatening
since that occurrence, aud to-day it was
noised about that they had planned to burn
in effigy to-night ex-Supt. Lyons of the
registry department, and his daughter, the
yotiug lady who was forced out oy the ap
pointment of the negro Fenny.
THE WHITES UP IN A KM9.
As soon as this became generally known
a determination was expressed by white
people everywhere that there should be no
such demons! ration. Late in the afternoon
it was reliably reported that the negroes
had prepared the effigies and were deter
mined to put their threat into execution.
This was the signal for thorough prepara
tions on tho part of tho whites. Orders
were issued to the whole police department
to be on duty at 7 o’clock. At dark tho
military companies reported at their armo
ries. Crowds of citizens, old men, young
men aud boys began to gather on the
streets, some with rifles, others with clubs
aud a largo proportion with pistols.
NO NEGROES APPEAR.
At 8 o’clock at the corner of Broad and
Marietta streets, where the negroes pro
posed to have their demonstrate m, several
thousand white men had gathered, and the
presence of any considerable body of ne
gr.ies would have precipited trouble; but
the negroe- wisely kept away. Whether
overawed by the determined front of the
whites or prevailed upon by the counsels of
the bettor element of their race they made
uo attempt to assemble, and a compara
tively few wore on tho streets. Hero und
there on tho street corner a big mouthed
negro indulged iu inflammatory language,
hut tho police promptly hustled him to the
police station.
RETREAT OF TltE CROWD.
Crowds remained on the streets for some
hours. A baud played and cheers fre
quently arose from the thousands of
throats. The governor finally appeared and
in a brief speech counseled tho crowd to dis
perse, und they hr-iko up. The threatened
danger was happily averted fur the time,
but the incident has put serious people to
thinking wnat it may mean for the future,
NOT REPORTED TO WASHINGTON.
Washington, Aug. 12—Tho Star this
evening prints tho following: '*Postmaster
Lewi< at Atlanta, Ga., has uot thought the
trouble over the appointment of a color td
man in his office of sufficient consequence
to make a report to tho postoffice depart
ment. Acting Postmaster General Clark
son said to-day, however, that ha
understood that the colored man was
certified l>y tho civil service commission to
the postmaster, Gen. Lewis, aud he had to
appoint him. For himself, ho thought it
impolitic to appoint a colored man to work
alongside of white women. What action, if
any, would he taken in Jtho matter lie did

Laws of Alabama.
Atlanta, Oa., Aug. 12—Messrs. Cal
houn and Jackson have returned to the city
and woro about their usual business to-day.
Owing to conflicting reports as to what oc
curred on tho field, a statement will proba

Gordon that sie expects hitu to assist in

received direct, it is expected. '
GORDON WILL HONOR IT.
Gov. Gordon will honor tho requisition
when it domes, and the members of the
dueling party are ready to go to Alabama,
if wanted, withouta requisition.
There is just uncertainty enough about
the scene of the duel to raise a troublesome
question of jurisdiction. It is not certain
tuat the sp t could bo identified, as the par
ties got off in tiie dark to tight the duel aud
hastily loft tho grounds.
