Madison Madisonian: The famous “bal

hand of man when there is so much gran
ite in the world. The old rock has been a

place.

ned off by the storm. Henry Newton was

and filled the well full of bricks.

a notorious negro who frequented that
locality. His depredations became so bold
and damaging that the company offered a
reward of SSOO for his apprehension.
The negro, fearing that so large
an amount would cause his
immediate arrest, left for parts unknown,
carrying with him a Winchester rifle with
which to thwart the offorts of the officers.
Learning of his whereabouts, Clarenoe
Smith and another young man of Board
man, Marion county, Btarted in pursuit,
and last night, about 9 o’clock, overtook
him. They did not have Winchester rifles,

Upon Barrow begun. After Williams had

Pensacola News: The authorities at West
Hartlepool have oommunioitid with the
American consul at that port, and it is
erobable that an official investigation will
e instituted here in Peusacola to discover,
if possible, the identity of the dead girl.
Later dispatches give the following inter
esting details of the mysterious sailor:
Hans bad been a general favorite on the
voyage on acoount of his extreme youth
and comeliness, as well as his obliging wfeys
and aptness In learning the rones.” He was
not more than 17 years old, with curly
brown hair, and bright blue eyes. Now
that tho true sex of this youQg sailor is
known, the barque’s carpenter and one or
two of the men recall the fact that several
days before she sailed a young girl had oome
on board selling fruit, although from her
delicate, well-bred appearance, all with
whom she came in contact remarked that
she was no ordinary fruit vender. She asked
numerous ciuestions about the work of a
sailor, aud if the voyage to England at this
time of the year was likely to be a rough'
one. She peered into the forecastle and into
the cook’s galley, and seemed deeply in
terested in everything going on about the
ship. She asked the first officer what it
would cost to take passage to England in
the ship, and seemed surprised and disap
pointed when told that there were no ac
commodations on board the Ida for passen
gers. Her size and complexion correspond
exaotly with those of the dead sailor, Hans,
but her hair was braided and hung nearly
to her waist. The men now believe that
tbe little fruit girl from Pensaoola and the
dead sailor were one and the same person.
Hans shipped on the very day that tho bark
sailed.
A Disfigured Countenance.
Many people who would scarcely notice an
armless or legless man will instantly detect and
remark on any blemish of tbe human face, and
dive into all sorts of speculations as to its cause
and attendant circumstances. If you doubt
this assertion become possessed of a discolored
optic and note how much attention it will in
vite. A black eye is generally avoidable, but
blotches, pimples and Other scrofulous and
erup:ive marks steal upon us witho :t warning,
and are frequently the first intimation of the
fact that our blood is going wrong. A prompt
and systematic ue of P. P. P. (Prlcdy Ash.

blood, cleanse the skin and give back to the
face nature's familiar, ruddy signs of health

Blaine's utterances upon tbe McKinley tariff
bill, anti-trust legislation in congress and
Sprockets' accusations were made the occasion
or a determined raid upon Sugar Refineries by
the professional element in the stock market
this morning, and a decline of 7>£ per cent, was
established in certificates, which had also the
effect of inducing sales of stocks of the regular
list to some extent. Buying in the latter, how
ever, was good throughout, and a complete
rally occurred, and prices only yielded finally to
another vigorous raid in the last few minutes of
business. The general situation was more
favorable than yesterday, advices from Chicago
being more hoDeful aud the prospects of a final
agreement In Washington being much better.
Foreign exchange was weaker and the fear of
gold exports sufficient to lnfiuonce the money
market were dissipated, though the bank state
ment showed a moderate decrease in surplus
reserve, owing to gold exports of the past week.
Traders and professionals were all bearish for
the time being, however, and as there was a
scarcity of orders the depression of prices was
oomparatively an easy matter. Final nonces
sions were Insignificant in most of the active
stooks. Chicago Gas sympathized most Closely
with Sugar Refineries, and later considerable
pressure was brought agaiust Oregon Transcon
tinental. and Atchison showed its material
effects. Sales of listed stocks were only 52,503
shares and of unlisted 82,618 shares, of which
74,318 is Sugar Refineries. Sugar Refineries is

The Nun's cotton review Buys: “Futures
were depressed, especially for this crop, by the
weakness of the Liverpool market and the prob
able defeat of free coinage. September also
declined materially, but the autumn and winter
months were pretty wed supported by reports
of grassy fields in the Mississippi Valley, where
proper cultivation has been prevented by con
tinuous rains. It has now cleared up, however,
and Texas bolls are beginning to open, affording
assurance of liberal supplies of cotton before
Sept. 1. Cotton on spot was 1-1 tie lower and
quiet.”

THE NEWS FROM EFFINGHAM.
Guyton School Exercises— Military and,
Society Gossip.
The Savannah district High school of
Guyton, which for the past six months has
bean under charge of Prof. A. E. Bird as
principal, with Miss Sallle Lawrence as as
sistant, held its examination exercises at
the academy last Wednesday, and thev were*
largely attended by the natrons and friends
of the school. The pupils showed that they
had made great progress in their studies
and they acquitted themselves to the satlsl
faction of their teachers and the patrons o£
the school.
On Friday night the annual exhibition oC
the school took place at Guyton hall, and
proved one of the most enjoyable occasion*
of the season. The hall was'crowded to its
utmost capacity. Not a few came from
Marlow and the surrounding country, wuo
appeared to be greatly pleased with the ex
ercises.
The exercise# wore opened by prayer by
Rev. J. E. Wray, pastor of the Guyton
Methodist church.
The duo for piano by Misses Annie Winu
and I-aurie Blackshear was performed in an
excellent manner, and elicited hearty ap
plause. The welcome recitation by a bovy
of little misses was well received.
Cliffle Adams, son of P. M. Adams, oit
account of bis tender age, diminutive size
and self-possession, took the bouse by storm
for the sdiendid manner in which his little
speech was delivered.
The model class, a burlesque on the school
room, was quite humorous, and brought!
down the house.
The duet for piano by Mrs. Heidt and !
Miss Georgia Edmonson was one of thal
gems of the evening.
The speeches of Master Charlie Heidtj
Henry Guyton and Walter Neeson were
well delivered and evidenced good training
and fine talent.
The song by the boys of the school]
“Want to be a Farmer,” was good, as was
also the dialogue, “Signing the Pledge.”
Before the exercises wore concluded Prof.
Bird announced that the school had been
contending for a prize offered for the boss
speller, and Miss Sallle Kahn was tha
fortuuate one, the prize being presented t.*
ter by Re 7. Mr. Wray, in a few compli
mentary remarks.
The dag drill by the young ladies of tha
school was, perhaps, the most interesting
feature of the evening, to judge from the
enthusiastic applause which greeted the
faultless movements of the young misses a]
they went through tho evolutions of tha
drill. The captain, Miss Laurie Blackshear,
had great presence of mind, and performed
her part in splendid style.
The musical part of the ontortainment
was rendered in excellent stylo by Mrs. D.
G. Heidt. Mr. J. E. Blackshear’s violin
was also one of the attractions, and his ren*
ditions elicited applause.
At the olose of this splendid ontertaiu
ment Prof. Bird came to the front of tha
slago and thnnked the large audienco for
their presence and attention and announced
that the academy would open again Sept.
1, at which time he hoped to see all the old
pupils and many new ones, as the pub
lic school term of four months would begm
at tho opening.
