A special from ffh itehall, N. Y., to the
New York Herald has the following con
cerning Miss Green, who committed sui
cide at Ntnvnan, Ga., a day or two ago:
“Genevieve Green was one of the most
popular girls in the lively little village of
Pair Haven. When the news came to-day
that she had taken her own life it set the
town in a flurry of excitement, and nothing
else was talked of. She attended the public
schools of Fair Haven and finished her
education at the P. ultney (Vt.) Institute,
■where she graduated two years ago, [She
had an unquestioned talent for painting.
Miss Green w as very popular with the young
men and had many admirers. She was fond
of dress, and her c stumes were always of
the most expensive material and most
fashionably made. Her father is a well to
and ' blacksmith and her mother has some
means of her own. They live in a comfort
able house on one of Fair Haven’s main
streets. She went in the best society, was
friendly with the best people and received
all the attention she cared to have from the
best young men. Mrs. Green, the mother
of the suicide, once taught school iu the
south, not far from where her
daughter took her life. She said: ‘1 can
not assign any reason for Genevieve's
suicide except that she had a rush of
blood to the head. She was subject to this,
and when the spell came on she was for a
time like one insane. Her letters were full
of sunshine and happiness. Only last week
she wrote me how well she was anding and
how happy she was. In her last letter she
told me ot her plans and with what pleas
ure she was looking to a visit home. My
son, who is in Salt Lake City, intended to
visit the south, and ray daughter and a
young lady cousin were to join him, making
a party to visit us here. They expected to
reach here about Aug. 1, aud I was already
making preparations for them.’ ”

The Key West Equator-Democrat says:
“Humor had it lately that State Health
Officer Porter was coming to build a fumi
gating station bere. The fact is, this is a
mistake. Controller Barnes in ids inter
pretation of the law omitted providing tho
special tax for the health board and hence
they have no funds with which to build
fumigating stations. Citizens of Tampa
loaned the money to put up the station there,
and if Key West was willing to do the
same the station would be built. However,
the board will build it next year, and mean
time views as to the best location if sub
mitted to the state board will be acceptable
and probably aid them in determining the
best location for the station, in or accessible
to this harbor.” The sundry civil appro
priation bill, ns reported to the United
States Senate at Washington Thursday,
contains an appropriation of SIO,OOO for
disinfecting machinery for use at Key
W est.

the rate of about fifty miles an hour, and
suddenly, when just north of Piue Castle,
at which station no stop was made, a
man catne hurriedly up to Capt. Ander
son, the conductor, saying that a woman
wanted to get off. Supposing that she had
failed to do so nt the proper time, tho cap
tain vigorously pulled the bell cord, the
brakes wore applied, and the traiu quickly
brought to a dead standstill, preparatory to
running back, (doing to the woman, he
asked her what her station was, whereupon
she replied that "she simply wanted to get
off at Troy, tno next station, but sne didn’t
have no idea that be could stop the train
that soon, and thought it about time he was
slackening up.”

and immediately summoned to his assist
ance his brother, who was working In the
frout part of Ibe house, and who answered
just in the nick of time to save him, for if
tho unfortunate inan had remained a min
ute longer in his dangerous position he
would have been beyond recovery. His

dressed the people at Sandersville Tuesday.
Both men were cheered, but Congressman

stead of at 11 o’clock he got there at 4
o’clock. At Millen he changed cars from
the Augusta train to the traiu between Sa
vannah and Macon, so as to continue his
trip to Tennille. He took a seat in the rear
coach, wlilch, it seems, is taken by the Au
gusta from the Savannah train and carried
on to Augusta. Having crossed the depot
platform and gotten on tho train pointed
out to him, it never dawned on him that
the car on that train would bo switched off
and carried to Augusta, and he never knew
that he was being carried back until the
same conductor on tho Augusta branch
came into the car to take his ticket.
The situation was explained and Maj.
Barnes and John Barnes left the train at
Lawtonsville, the first station, and hired a
vehicle back to Millen. A gravel train was
there and they telegraphed to Savannah for
instructions for the gravel train to carry
them to Tennile. Before a reply could be
received the gravel train left. Next a way
freight came along and by wiring to Ce i
tral railroad headquarters in Savannah per
mission was obtained to use tho engine and
cab of that train to get to Tennille. This
was done and a vehicle from Tennille to
Sandersville completed the trip.
McDonough special to Atlanta Journal:
In tie joint discussion Tuesday Congress
man Stewart mentioned having played over
tho hills in Henry county with the people.
In reply Col. Livingston said some people
had played over the same hills, and some
had gone to the penitentiary, but that had
nothing to do with congress. Stewart took
this as a reflection on the people, aud In
their defense said that none of them over
ran as independents for office. Livingston
cried out: “You ought not to mention that
without giving me a chance to reply to it.”
Stewart answered: “If you say you did
not ruu independent I won’t say it.”
Exciteiueut ran high. Stewart said:
“ You can reply to it to-morrow.” Livings
ton said; “I must reply now. I did not run
independent; but there were complications
which I must explain.” He then made a
lengthy explanation justifying his action in
the apparently independent race for the
legislature iu Newton county. He showed
that he was soon after that r ce, elected
chairman of the democratic executive com
mittee. He charged Stewart with aiding
Thurmond, a republican, in getting the
postoffico at Griffin. He said he had
a letter proving it. Stewart dared
him to read the letter. The letter
was read, but the writer’s name
was withheld. Stewart and the crowd de
manded the name It was M. A. Bowden.
Bowden was the former democratic post
master at Griffin. Stewart asserted that
Bowden’s charges were false, that Bowden
favored a lady for postmaster, because she
promised him an assistant's place. Stewart
said he did not know who was applying for
the postoffice, that Thurmond had been
falsely slandered in Washington, and he
simply defended his character; and that he
would have done the same thing for any
body. He exclaimed: “1 am going to beat
Livingston for congress, and 1 am going to
do it fairly.” These charges greatly un
settled things, but helped nobcdy.

The stock market today was intensely dull,
but it presented a firm front throughout in
dealings in all except a few specialties and
Sugar Refineries, however were without feature
of any kind, while fluctuations were confined to
the limits of about % per cent. Those stocks
which have lately become prominent for
advances made, such as Hocking Valley, Mobile
and Ohio, and Chicago and East Illinois stocks,
made further gains, though only in the case of
the first named was the movement of special
importance. Sugar Refineries continued to
respond to the proposed scheme to re-organize
the trust with the belief that insiders will sup
port ihe stock. Buying, however, is largely for
short account, and its elimination seeins only a
matter of short time. The bank statement,
which was awaited with so much interest,
showed a handsome gain in the surplus result,
which leaves it about where it was 2 weeks ago,
but the result has been so thoroughly dis
counted that it had no effect to either raise or
depress prices. Tno close was very dull and
firm at slightly better figures than those of the
opening. The sales aggregated 49,000 shares
of listed and 27,000 shares of unlisted. The

The Sun's cotton review says: “Futures
opened at an advance of 2 point on this crop,
3 points on September and 1 to 2 points on
other montlis, closing steady at 1 point decline
on this crop and 1 to 2 points advance on new
crop months from yesterday’s closing prices.
Early strength in this crop was due to a much
better report from Liverpool, but the market
weakened because there has been more talk
than action regarding the ‘corner’ on August
options. Next crop gained strength because
notwithstanding good prospects, there waa
nobody to sell winter mouths at below spot
quotations. Three towns in Texas say picking
has begun, but many parts of that state need
rain badly. Cotton on spot was firm, but much
less active."
