Perkins had an old cat and four kittens in a box bringing them to the store Mondav, when he met a party who handed him a $2 paper L‘ U - .ff. he had something in both hands, 40 dn ? p the biU in the box. When Mr. Perkins arrived at the store the toe £rrtT? Ug ‘ ’ the qUOi>UoU UdU St. Augustine News; J. W. Spitler stopped a Sexes reporter on the street yes terday and sh >wed him a receipt which had lean given to his great-gra: d/ather before he left England for America. It ran as follows: “Received 10, lOuno. 1797, of Jacob Spitler, thirty shillings on fees in full for surveying a tract of laud adjoining his other land in Shrewsbury township of York county. Wm. Kersey. £l-10 0.” St. Augustine Sews: As Mr. Kolb, who has just removed int > his elegant house at Moultrie Point, was in the act of making a fire yesterday morning, he heard a strange noise that sounded as if rats were iu the stove. He immediately got his dogs and club and procee led to investigate. Raising up one of the lids in the stove, he was sur prised when a large owl jumped out upon him. It had gotten into the chimney, which is twenty-five feet high, and wo:t down through a five-foot stove pipe into the stove, where it was discovered by Mr. Kolb. Pensacola Sexes: It is definitely ascer tained that Judge Barnes, recently ao pointed to the pre-idoucy of the First judi cial circuit of Florida, will not reside in Pensacola, The fact will occasion much inconvenience to a majority of the members of the circuit bar, who reside in Pensacola, the first city of the circuit, in which by far the greater portion of the business coming before toe court has its source, and It is hoped that the gentlemau. in further con sideration of the matter, will forego his intention of retaining a residence at Mari anna. William Messer, son of, Joseph M'sser, living in the Miakka neighborhood in Manatee county, was accidentally shot in the leg, just below the knoe, by Mr. Tilly, one day last week, which his physician says must neoessarily result in the amputa tion of the limb. The two young men were out hog,hunting at the time, and their dog brought to bay a large but cn of wild hogs, in which was a tremendous boar that showed fight, and began chasing the dog, which sought pro tection by the side of the young men, thus attracting the boar's attention to them, and during their excitement iu tryiug to osca:>o him, Mr. Tilly’s foot liecame entangled in a vine which threw him to the ground, dis charging his gun with the above result. Both bones of the leg were completely shattered to pieces, so that there isjuo poisi ble chance to save the wounded limb. Monticello Constitution: Last Thursday the whole town was thrown into a state of excitement over a robbery committed in the express office. The facts iu the case are as follows: One of our business meu stepped into the express office to send off a package containing sll7. Wiilie Barnes, the clerk, re ceived aud counted the money in the pres ence of two other gentlemen, besidei the one sending the money off, and gave a receipt for same. After Wiilie Barues had sealed the package and laid it on the doss or in the drawer, all four walked away aud noth ing more wa3 thought of it until time to send the express off, when Birnes went to get the package, and discovered that ft was gone. Barnes gave the ularm and in vestigations commenced. The gentleman who had sent off the money and one of the others weio suspicioncd of stealing the package and were searobed, and, of course, the missing package was not revealed, and it is deeply regretted that such hasty steps were taken. The loss falls on Barnes, a young man who isstriviug bv industry and honesty to make a living. Every citizen in the town hopes to see the whole matter ventilated, the thief punished and charac ters of honorable men vindicated. Bronson Times-Dexnocrat: About the saddest calamity that could have overtaken this little town was the burning of the Ep person hotel, which occurred about 2:30 o’clock Wednesday morning. The first alarm was given by Arthur Reid, who oc cupied a room upstairs with Wiley Coarsey. When he discovered it the northwest corner of the dining-room was in flames, and they could not bare been extinguished had help been at hand. Mrs. Minnie Price, whose bed room was nearest the fiames, had a narrow escape from death. Her room was full of smoke, and she was half dead from suffoca tion when Mr. Colson resoued her through a window. The other occupants of the house at the time were Mrs. S. P. Turner, the manager, aud her little son; P. M. Col son, wife and three children; Arthur Reid anu Wiley Coarsey, and a Mr. Cook, from Blakely, Ga. Bo completely were the in mates taken by surprise that very little fur niture and personal effects were saved. W. J. Epperson, the owner of the house, was In Savannah. His loss is about $5,000, which is only partly covered by insurance. The butldiug was the best in the town, and would have been a credit to any city in Florida. The fire is believed to have been the work of an iucendiary, aud comes very hard on Mr. Epperson, following so closely on the burn ing of his cotton gms. GEORGIA POLITICS. J. N. Chenoy of Schley county is a candi date for the state Senate. Hon. J. T. Olive of Oglethorpe county has entered the campaign for congress. W. A. Broughton will probably enter the race in the Eighth congressional district as an alliance candidate. T. J. Poss announces in the Athens Ban ner that he is a candidate for clerk of court of Clarko county. J. K. Kenny has also entered the race. The executive committee of Gwinnett county, pursuant to the chairman’s call, met Wednesday and ordered a primary election on June 21 for state-house officers, governor, state senator, congressman and legislative members, excluding no olectors except republicans. Augusta Chronicle: Hon. W. L. Peek of Rockdale, president of the Alliance State Exchange, was in the city yesterday. He had a conference with President Sibley and other officials of the Sibley Manufacturing Company relative to the manufacture of a full supply of Odenheitusr cotton bagging for the crop of 1890. Col Peek reports tbe exchange in a flourishing o indition—daily growing in popularity with the farmers . f the state. Col. Peek is himself a representa tive farmer—working and living at home. He is, moreover, one of the strongest men the state. He made a splendid record as a legislator, serving in buta the House aud the Senate, and is a probable factor in the Fifth congressional district. Ho ha: not announced himself a candidate or expressed any desire for the position, but he is bnng talked of among the people as an available man. A Washington special to the Athens Ban ner says: The report reaches here that the negroes of LaGrange and vicinity do not look with favor on the prospective appoint ment of Miss Laird to the post-office in that city, and have demanded of Col. Buck that he take steps to defeat it. Gresham, whoso agility as a political flopper is reported to be somewhat phenomenal, is said to be be hind this agitation against Miss Laird, and he is backed by Hogau Heard, a negro po.i tician, who is an applicant f>r the ol flea, it remains to bo seen if Col. Buck will yield to this bulldozing scheme. Mr. Laird, t_e father of Miss Stella, thinks thut there is no discounting Buck’s backbone, and he says he feels pretty well assured that his daughter will get the place. All the prominent Georgia republicans are her friends and indorse her good qualities and intelligence. The Henry County Times thus sums up the political situation in that county: The many friends of Hon. William Combs will ask him to make the race for Representa tive. It is suid that Cols. W. T. Dickon, E. J. Reagan aud C. T. Zachry will be the timber to select a senator from. It is said that Dr. L L. Gunter would not object to going back to the legislature. There is a good, healthy movement on hand to place before the people of tbo Fifth congressio al district the name of Hon, W. L. Peek for congress. It is said that if ho consents to make tbe race he will carry Usury, Rock dale, Newton, Walton, DeKalb, Fulton, Douglass, and ha3 a fighting chance iu Campbell. Our people are very well pleased with Judge Stewart. If CoL Peek makes the race there is going to be music in the air. Col. E. J. Reagan is a lawyer of recognized ability. He has made Henrv county a good representative, and if elected to the senate, will rank with the ablest men of that august body. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 4, 1890-TWELVE PAGES.

The stock uiur&et was rather quiet to-day in comparison with the large business transacted of late, audit remained feverish still, with no marked changes except In a few shares, which were affected by lutiuences peculiar to them selves. Heaviness was most marked in Granger stocks, while Lackawanna, Oregon Transcon tinental, Manhattan, and Wheeling and Lane Erie, both preferred aud common, were strong. April earnings of the last-named road have been larger than for any mouth in ihe history of the company. Trading to day was princi pally of a professional character, though there was some trading for foreign account, but the precipitate pressure was from Chicago and the trading element,while there was a good demand for specialties There is a feeling of disap pointment In the street over news from Chicago about the present condition of the railroad war. There is nothing to show that the first settlement contemplated is intended to cover anythiug but passeuger business, while the war of freights, which represent the most impor tant rrt of the railroads' earnings, is likely to contiuue. Should this prove to be the case, the market will igaoto the stock* gt western toads as much as possible; while the balance of the stock list will show an increased business aud improved prices, especially stocks like those which to-day and generally of late have been steadily strong and leaders in speculation The market was up and down within narrow limits, with no movement at ail worthy of note in the general list, aud only in a few specialties was there anything like life. Oregon Improve ment, Chicago, St. Louis and Pittsburg stocks and one or two others made sharp upward spurts, but these constituted the only features in the trading. There was little tone developed toward the close on the scarcity of stocks offer ing, and the close was fairly active and firm at i significant changes for the day. The sales of listed stocks aggregated 126,(XX) shares; un listed 1i7,000 shares. Tne following are the closing quotations: Ala class A, 3to 5.107 NO Pa’ficlstmort 94)4 Ala.o,ass It,is... 119 N. Y.

The Suit s cotton review says: “Futures opened a little Irregular, the chief feature being free offerings for August at 11 80011 87c under weak report from Liverpool, but as these were quickly taken up, there was a quick advance, and the close wag steady at about tbo best figures of the day. There was a strong local 'bull' feeling, which is looking to 13c for mid dling uplands, and there is no resisting the idea, so long as cotton is as scarce as it is. Crop accounts were generally favorable. Cotton on soot was firmer, but not quotably dearer."

Chicago, May 3.—There was an Immense trade to-day in wheat, and the market was an unusually wild one, prices varying so rapidly that jumps of )4®lc were made in May and June, ana )4®)60 in July without trade. Tne excitement was at fever heat, and so anxious were buyers at times that offers of )4©)<,e above previous sales were made and were readily accepted. Buyers fairly Jumped for wheat. At times the market was bare of offer ings for May and Juce, and sharp advances in prices in these deliveries carried up the more deferred futures, but the advance was not so great as in nearer futures. May opened lßjc higher and sold up 6c more, then tased off and closed 6c higher than yesterday. Up to noon prieps ranged from 9ic 10 9So, aud then jumped k* Wgftasi qvuqkjy. June advanced o>4c and closed about 4)sc higher than yesterday. July was very erratic, and opened bi®l c higher than yesterday's closing, advanced very irregu larly 303)4c more and closed 3c higner than yesterday. Orders came p aring in from ail quarters, the majority to buy, though a good many selling orders were rec -ived, parties having profits in their favor and disposed to re alize. Parties who bad sold yesterday in ex pectat lon of a lower marnet on ibe prospect of ram covered freely to-day. Although cloudy weather was reported in the northwest,scarcely any rain has fallen, with the exception of a slight shower at Duluth and St. Paul. Advices from South Dakota report the ground as dry as powder and the wind blowing the seed out of the ground. There was another day of activity witnessed in corn, the feeling being nervous and unsettled, prices fluctuating sharply within 6)oV<c range. Trade was mainly in July, though there was some more doing in August and September than yesterday. Business was in the main local, there being less doing on out side account than noted yesterday. There were frantic sellers of July at 35c around the open ing aud the market hung around 34)4®a.'.c.some time afterward declining to 34)4c, up to 35)0, and final quotations in all futures were )jc high-r than yesterday. Stronger cables and the advance la wheat were the leading factors. Oats were active but unsettled, prices fluctu ating freely in a range of J4c. Continued re ports of dry weather in the northwest made op orators nervous,and although no actual damage has resulted, shorts were anxious to cover, and bought freely. Opening sales were at the same to a slight decline from yesterday’s dose. Offer ings were light and the demand good, both from local and outsiders, and orices advanced HOHc; May delivery rose to 2S)4c, and a round lot of 290,000 bushels brought 26ts®2£i)4c at Crivate sale. The advance induce 1 free selling y longs, and as a good many of the early buy ers bad been fiileo up, prices receded s®s){c, but afterwards rallied and the market c osed steady at a fractional decline from yesteriay. Avery light business was transacted in pork. Early sales were made at Friday’s closing figures, aud a few transactions were ma le later at 10015 c advance. Toward the close the feel ing was easier and prices settled back again, closing quiet. A fair business was done in lard, but the feeling was unsettled. May was lower and the market closed tame at medium figures. Trading In short ribs was moderate, with inter est centering in July. Prices declined 5@7)4c and the market closed quiet.

One of the latest, and it may prove m st valuable, discoveries in the state is the green sand marl bad, resembling the celebrated New Jersey marls, which Will iam Brunson of Ferry is about to develop and place upon the market. The beds of marl in question are located upon the plantation of Mr. Brunson, which embraces 2 000 acres. As yot it is not fully known how extensive they may be. It is certain, however, that they cover a vast area. By actual analysis this green marl is found to contain phosphoric acid, phosphate of lime, aud pure potash in various proportions, which hereafter will be carefully noted. An expert says doubtless the marl will improve iu richness and value when the excavations are made deeper. Athens Banner: Hon. James M. Smith, Georgia’s great planter and most enter prising citizen, is now at work on two now railroads.
