TODD'S BILL STILL KICKS.
ITS FRIENDS CLAIM IT CAN BE
TAKEN FBOM THE TABLE.
A Motion Made to Reconsider the In
definite Postponement—Senator Car
lisle and Other Authorities Asked for
Information on the Point Raised —Oth
er Business in the Senate.
Atlanta. Ga., Not. —Perhaps the
Tool bill w.'l bare ti be killed all over again
in the Senate. Dead a* it was thought to
be, it managed to gamer op strength
enough to create a considerable stir in the
legislature to-day, aal threaten* to walk
oat of it* burial clothes. A motion wai
made to r*oonide.- the Indefinite postpone
ment agreei to Wednesday. This was
promptly tabled, and the fate of
the m ti ,r\ was regarded as ditching the
bill until the Todi men claimed they had
purposely offered the motion to hare it
tabled in order that they might pick their
opportunity for taking it from ths table
and pressing it before a full Senate when 1
they rega-ded th- chanc:s for passing the I
bill most favorable.
A SUM ATTENDANCE.
There was barely a quorum p-esent this
m'ra.ng, and under such ctrcumstanoe*
they decia-ed it had no chance. In torroer
legislatures biU in the position row occu
pied by the Todd measure hare always been
considered lost past redemption, but this
defends on toe president’s interpretation of
rarlismen ary practice, and be seemed this
morning moil red t. rule that anything
on the table could be taker, from
tne table. If so, it looks as
if there is uo way to get finally rid of the
quart bill except to aTiow it to be resur
rected and then defeat it on its merit. The
seer taries have written for the opinion of
United State* Senator Carlisle and other
rar. wned parliamentarians on the point
thus raised. Revet al senMble members of
the lezis’a.are incline t. the opinion cred
ited to President Mitchell.
DISEASE AMONG HORSES.
Mr. Johnson of the Twenty-first district
rffered tie one new bill of the morning. It
er ntemplates the suppress.on of contagious
diseases among lire stock, and provide* for
an appropriation to corer the exoe .se of
veterinary surgeons’ services and damages
resulting from the condemnation of infected
stock and buildings, and creates a boaoi of
arpraise-s toaesees the damage thus suffered
by tne owners. Commissioner Nesbitt ap
prove. the details of the bill more nearly
than those of any yet offered for the eradi
cati u of glanders, bat thinks the appro
priation should come from the surplus
arising from fertilizer in-jection fees In
stead of forming an Keen in the tax act.
HOUSE BILLS ON FIRST READING.
Amor.g the Hrus bill* read for the first
time in the Senate was the one appro
priating 112.000 tr d*trav the expenses of
the state 'echntlogical school, to Incorpo
rate the Electric Railway Company of Sa
vannah, and to prohibit seining for mo >n
tain trout After a seaaion of >orty minutes
the Senate adjourned till Monday, for want
of a quorum.
HIGH EXPKHB RATES,
Senator Todd to Propose Legislation
to Reduce Them.
Atlanta, Ga. . Nov. 28.—The author of
the quart bill contemplates another sensa
tional dash at oil established things. This
time he will attack the monopoly so long
enjoyed by one company of the express
business in Georgia, and hopes either to
open the way for competition or
to regulate aril cheapen the chargee
now exacted for the transportation
of packages as those of railroads have been
regnla'ed and lowered by the commission.
Green B. Roberts, an old and well-known
expressman of this city, who left the serv
ice on good terms with the Southern Ex
press Company, in on interview to-day
declared that the company had wrung
the great mas* of its wealth from
the people of a few southern states since
the wttr by the imposition of exorbitant
charges, and insists that the complaints
which have given rise to Mr. Todd’s pros
pective bill are well founded, and that no
business in the state needs regulating worse
man that of the company in whose service
he spent so many years.
Blandford s Chances Best.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 28.—Indorsements
of Justice Biandford’s candidacy for the

How to Gat Into and Out of it the

Sr. Acgustinne, Fla., Nor. 3%.—The
people hriug along the proposed route of the

real indication tiat the chartered c rapany

TH! DIGGING.
F-om tbe Ma'anzas, say at Moultrie creek,
to Federal Point, on the St. Johns rlrer,
some eighteen miiei of digging will be the
price of mixing the salt ad fresh waters.
From Federal Point the St. J .nus river will
be used for some forty rr.iies to P..ce creek,
j fire mile* s nth of Pa atka. How far this
creek can be made available, :s not, a* yet,
known. However, it is a short cut to a
j small stream that Lakes its course from
I Orange Lake, and flews into the Oekiawafca,
near Orange Springs. Brastei will
bee.me a beautiful Venice. ,acd
furnish mariners with store* ere
they strike out into the
lake, passing near Citra’s luxuriant orange
groves until Learie is reached. From
trace spades will be trumps until tbe head
of the Blue river is met, say thirty-eight
miles.
THE ROUTE.
The route lies down the Blue river to
Dunnelion, on the Withiacooche* river.
Down this river and the Blue river vessels
will giiue along iuto tbe Gulf as easy as
rolling off a log. The canal company will
be put to no expense dredging this fifty-two
miles of waterway, as the Dunnelion and
Marion Phosphate Companies are, by tbe
rate now working, liable to dig away tne
bottom of these rivers.
On reaching the outlet of the Wlthlacoo
cbee river obstacles will be encountered in
tbe fiats, or deltas, that hold b&ck tue waters
of the river for some three miles before sea
water is reached in the Waccassassee bay.
The people have great faith in this project.
A COSTLY UNDERTAKING.
If the incorporators have means and hon
est intentions, the canal will beau estab
lished fact; that is, when tne harbor of Ht.
Augustine is so improved a> to permit the
safe entering of sea-going craft, and when
the obstructions at toe month of the With
lacoocuee river are removed. According to
tbe surveys of tbe United States govern
ment engineers, it would require an ex
penditure of several millions of dollars to
cat a channel through the three miles of
coral reefs at the mouth of the Withla
hatchie.
It is not Intended to attempt to discour
age the people along the route of the pro
posed canal, as the canal part Is the most
feasible, bat how can ships get into or out
of it*
WELAKA WAIFfI.
Good Weather for Harvesting—What
Fruit 1b Bringing.
Welaka, Fla., Nor. 28. —Tbe weather
for harvesting crops is good. Potatoes are
being dag and the crop is an excellent one.
They retail at the stores at $1 per bushel.
Tboee who hare cane are preparing to
grind it. The oranges are changing color
nicely and many are being shipped. A
party of Iraliani are here buying all the
crops on the trees paying the price agreed
on, ons-half down and the balance as soon
as they begin to pick. The crop of C. F.
Waldron on less than 100 trees, gld
for SBOO. These trees are on less than an
acre of ground. J. Green’s crop on 250
trees sold for $1,300. The Italians invested
SIO,OOO here in a few days. They seem to
be old hands at it, but never before came to
Flor.da to buy. They make a trade in one
half an hour. This wbat suits
the grower, early cash and
no risks. V.'hata contrast between this and
the old commission way. The future of the
orange growing is very bright, and it looks
as if those who wished’to handle the orange,
must come hero and buy. These Italians
say they will be here next September and
buy the crops. There is some inquiry for

CLAY FOR MODELING.
A Discovery Near Tallahassee that
Ik ay Bring a Manufactory.
Tallahassee, Fla., Nov. 28.—Miss
Georgia McDonald of this city has discov
ered a large deposit of peculiarly fine
modeling clay or bisque, and is now engaged
in manufacturing it into fancy tables,
clock cases, picture frames, etc. The pecu
liar value of this bisque is that modeling
made of it becomes quickly hard, tough
and durable and does not require biking as
other modeling clays do. Mus McDonald
has specimens of her bisque work ou ex hi.
bltion at tbe Leon county alliance fair, and
it is attracting muen attention. She will
send them to tbe Ocala alliance exposition.
It is expec.ed that capital will beco.ue in
terested In this discovery and that a bisque
mauutact ry will be established bere.
Miss McDonald is a talented artist, and
works rap.diy in model! g the bisque into
artistic sbap. s. She is prepared to fill smell
orders, and will execute special designs of
any kind of household ornament, trains,
table or fancy cornices at reasonable prices.
She deserves liberal patronage.

Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 28.—8. K.
Jamison & Cos., bankers and brokers, have
suspe ded and assigned to Samuel Justice
Thompson. The firm could not realize

Nothing regarding their liabilities or
assets could be learned. The firm has not

business for some years past, being chiefly
interested in promoting financial projects.

B. K. Jamison, the head of tbe firm is
largely interest ed in the Edison Electric
Light Company of this city, being its vice
president. Ho is also a ’ director in the

INTOXICATED BY CHEWING GUM.
A Man Who Gets Hilarious bv Bucklng
the Juice of tbe Stuff.
Fro n the .Vsio York St or.
Can a man become intoxicated on chew
ing gum? I cannot believe it. yet a friend
of mine assures mo that he kuo as a fellow
who does it. The man in question is the
superintendent of one of the big breweries
of New York. He does not driuk liquor of
any kind, not even his own beer. He can
tell the quality of the brewing pv the color
and smell. Once in a while, however, he
feels like getting hilarious in some way.
The feeling is likely to come upon him on
the Fourth of July or some similar occasion
of holiday or rejoicing.
When he feels that way, so my friend
says, and he ought to know, our superin
tendent buys a large box of some peculiar
sort of chewing gum, and makes a job of
it. He does uot attempt to do anything else
for the time being. He devotes bimaelf to
the che#mg gum. One cake of n after
another disappears. He chews all the
sweetness out of tho gum and the i throws
it away. When he has masticated about
four or five dozen of the wafers he is the
possessor rf what the boys call a “beautiful
jag.” At least si my friend says.
There was a friend of mine onca who as
sured me that he had se3u an oyster which
had been taught to play the piano. I thd
not believe him, just because he wa. my
friend. Your own frie ids will sometimes
tell you whopping big yarns. The one who
tells me the chewing gun story avers by
tho g eat horn spoon tnat i is positively
true. In proof of it he pointed out the
brewery to ine.

CONSTINE* -s LO-T CHARM.
Missed It in Atlanta an 1 Had It Served
to Him in a Seattle Restaurant.
From the Seattle Press.
H. L Coast.ae of New Orleans, La., who
has been in Seattle for several days, tells a
; story that would rival, in iss improbability,
the ta es of the Arabian Nigata. Mr. Coo
suae, however, dedar* t-at hj story is
true, and says tnat ne is willing to swear
to it.
“ -Yhen I was in Atlanta. Ga. some time
ago," said Mr. Constine. “I was invited by
a friend, John Sawyer, to visit a peach
cannery, in which he was employe! After
I had comp eted my tour of tDe cannery I
missed a very valuable charm that I had
been wear! ig on my watch chain. The loss
was a sad one to me. masmuen as the charm
was a gift fr m a deal suier. I offered a
liberal reward for the return of the charm,
which I supposed I had dropped somewn6re
about the cannery, bu: all to no purpose,
as I never heard from it
“I had returned home, and had given up
allhopes of rec var.i.g tbe cnirca. About
two months ago I conceived toe idea of visit
ing the Pacific coast, and arranging my
badness in short order, started at once for
the west.
“I arrived in Seattle about two weeks
ag". since which time I have been visiting
friends who live near Yesier avenue.
Yesierday noqii I was down town and
stepped into a resturant for lunch.
“After eating a hearty lunch I called for
some peaches and cr am. I started to eat
the peaches, and was in the act of cutting
one of tbeia with a spoon, when the spoon
struck some hard substance, which ap-
I pearel to be imbed led in the heart.of one
'of the peaches. I worked the substance
out with my spoon and held it up to the
ltgnt. My surprise can be baiter imagined
than described when I found that I held in
my hand my missing c Arm, which I had
long ago given np for lost.
“The story is a strange one,” concluded
Mr. Constine, "and i sh uld hardly be will
ing to believe it myself if told to me by a
stranger, but levertneless every word of it
is sirictlv true. T e only way I can ac
cou it for the mysterious disappearance and
recovery of the jewel is that it became dis
engaged from the cnain when I was watch
ing the performance of anew coring and
paring machine in wnich I was much inter
ested while I was visiting the cannery in
Atlanta, and It fell in among the peaches
without my noticing it.”
The charm, whica Mr. Constine showed
the reporter, was a gold cross with a small
diamond set in either end and a 1 irger one
iu the cemer, and was of very unique de
sign. Tne story is a strange one, but was
told in a concise an 1 straigntforward man
ner that argued well for its verac.ty.
CUPID’S WORK AT GIG HARBOR.
A Mother and Daughter in Love with
the Same Man.
From the Tacoma Yet c*.
On Friday, so tae story go&, a prominent
lady of the town attempted to commit sui
cide under such romantic circumstances
that tbe snipbuilding industry was forgot
ten, and Arthur Delplane is now the topic
of conversation. The story of this attempt
ed suicide revolves around a lady called
McGuire, her daughter Minnie, and Arthur
Delplane, and Arthur is either the hero or
the victim.
Widow McGuire is not fair, fat. and 40,
but she is fair, 40, and is supposed to have a
bank account as well. Her daughter Minnie
is the reputed belle of Gig Haroor.
Arthur Delplane also lives in Gig Harbor,
connected with the mill. He is about 30
years old. Arthur met Minnie, and the re
sult was that Arthur was a constaut visitor
a: the McGuire homestead.
But Mrs. McGuire also met Arthur, and
she looked upon him, and he was fair. She
wanted him for herself, it is said, and im
mediately became a rival of her daughter
for bis affections. Tbe young man must
have given Mrs McGuire some encourage
ment, for her affection apparently grew to
something stronger, and at last she found
that without him life no ioDger contained
any pleasure for her.
The daughter Minnie was the favorite,
however, aad the mother was beside herself
with anger when shefoundthe two together
on Friday evening acting as if they were
accepted lovers. Widow McGuire did not
leave them to their joy and happiness. She
rushed into tbe room and with a wail
criod:
“Oh, Arthur, you don’t love me any
more.”
Just at this moment, unluckily for Minnie,
the family cat walked across the room-
Widow McGuire grasped it by the tail, and
with her 40 years’ strength threw it in Min
nie’s face. Wherever a cat lands it lands
feet first and generally holds on. In this
case the cat lit feet first and held on to Min
nie’s face with its feet, as her face will tes
tify to-day.
Widow McGuire then ran out of the
house and to the wharf, deeOring that she
would drown herself. Arthur was In a
dilemma whether to soothe the scarred face
or save a 1 fe. Ho hesitated but a moment
mid rushed ofter the widow and reached her
just as she was throwing herself into the
sound. She struggled, bu. he was the
stronger, and he carried her back to the
house.
What happened thereafter Gig Harbor
would like to know. Arthur is still a
visitor at the house, but whether he is a
hero and has a mother-in-law or is a hero
and a victim only tbe future alone will tell.
COTTON PICKED BY MACHINERY.
Steal Fpindtea Doing tbs Work of
Black Fingers in the Field.
from the Waco Day.
The essential feature is 330 finders or
spindles piojoctiug through ail from a
hollow cylinder. These fingers are ten
inches long, and have at the end a brush or
tip of fine wire, and set in four grooves
radially is horse hair, clipped so it projects
from the finger; abmt one-twelfth of an
inch, the tin and the hairs on the side being
the means of getti g the cotton from trie
bolls. The finders or spindles are given a
whirling motion by a system of cog gear
enclosed within the cylinder. Moving for
ward, the cylinder revolves, the fingers
c >mi) in contact with ihe cotton, the whirl
ing motion of the fingers entangles the cot
ton lint, and it is picked, then carried up
ward a id backward until cleaned from the
fingers by brushes, and thrown into recepta
cles holding sixty pounds of seed cotton.
The revolutions are so timed that the
fingers winch project at the spokes of a
wheel strike the plant without a raking
motion, for that would damage the plant.
No injury comes to the leaf or boll from
running the machine over the plant.
With a width of four feet, length seven
feet, and bight of five ad one-half feet,
the machine, complete, weighs ab >u; 1,20 j
pounds, and is of easy draught for two
mules.
Thursday a party of gentlemen went to
the RutFner place, on the Robinsunville
road, and saw the Campbell machine in oper
ation.
The rows were 185 y rds long, and were
gone over twice, the re-ult being the cotton
was cleanly picked out of the bills, the ma
chine being as thorough in this re pect as
the fiugers of the negro. No injury to foli
age, bulls or b . ar.cues of the plant was
noted.
Ia the morning, when the cotton was
slightly damp, a gathering from one row
made by the machine weigned a little more
than thirty pounds; the waste, km eked on
the ground by the inachiu?. waspicked ud
by hand and weighed fivo ounces. In the
afternoon, with the cotton perfectly d.y,
the cotton picked weighed over twenty
eight pounds, aui the waste picked up
weighed nearly three and oae-balf pounds.
The time made was about five p winds a
minute, o 30 ) pounds an hour. Allowing
tune, liberally, for emptying the recepta
cles, stooping for repairs, meals, and so on,
the machine could easily work ten hours a
day aid would gather 3,000 pounds at a
total expe se of no; more than $3 per day.
TRADE'S HORIZON HAZY.
COMMERCIAL LOANS HARD TO
OBTAIN.
Banks end Other Lenders Hanging
on to Their Cash-Speculation Re
viving to an Unhealthy Extent-The
R ’ports from the couth Le 33 Encour
aging on Account of Tight Money.
New York, Nov. 28.—R. G. Don &
Cos. g weekly review of trade, issued to-day,
says: “The past broken week has not im
prove! the business oatlook. The difficulty
of obtaining commercial loans increases, not
here only, but at most other points. Banks
and other lenders, from the
largeet to tbe smallest, appear
to have been induce! by recent
events to strengt hen themselves. Merchants
have grown more cautious about extending
obligations, or making pnrehases which
can be deferred, apprehending that retail
buying may be cut down somewhat by tbe
reduce! ability of some consumers, and bv
the disposition of others to economize in
view of tbe extensively repnrtei advance
in prioes.
UNHEALTHY SPECULATION.
“Meanwhile speculation has been reviving
to an unhealthy extent in some directions
on the theory that the troubles are over and
things will improve. The money markets
are thus loaded with increased demands for
carrying securities and products at a time
when trade especially needs more
liberal supplies. At most of tie
interior markets money grows more
stringent, and tbe scarcity begins to affect
trade at important centers, though th e vol
ume of business is still very large. Money
is quiet at Pittsburg, at 6 to 7 per cant., but
Bessemer steel is 50 cents lower, and the
demand for finished iroji is smaller.
SOUTHERN REPORTS.
“Southern reports are leis encouraging;
money is iu sharp demand at New Or.eans’
the movement being unprecedented; ex
ceedingly tight at Savannah, with tbe com
mercial prospects less bright; more timid
at Atlanta, and in Western Florida
short crops and embarrassments of
merchants cloud the prospect. But at Bal
timore money is easy, manufactures active
and the retail trade improved, though the
jobbing trade slackens. The setback in
wool at Boston averages 1 cent 1s on de
laines and combings, but m re on other
kind*. Woolen manufacturers have lost
the hope of obtaining better prices for
goods.
COTTON MANUFACTURE
“Cotton manufacture is fairly main
tained. Uncertainty in boot ana shoe trade,
on account -f the reaction in leather,
causes reduced shipments. The week has
been one of peculiar dullness in the iron
trade, and the tone is weaker, there is ap
prehension of forced sales by some southern
furna -ss, and one large transaction at $lO
for gray torga is reported at Birmingham.
Rail purchasers h Jd off aud there is a risi
ble decrease In the orders for finished
products.
SPECULATIVE MARKETS LIVELY.
“But the speculative markets have beea
advancing. Wheat has risen corn
2>£c. and oats 4>fc., lard 15c. per 100
pounds and coffee jf'e., pork being un
changed and oil lc. lower. Cos: ton has also
yioidl9d a sixteenth, iu view of the crop
prospects.
“In tbe stock market the strong rally of
last week continues, prices having been ad
vanced $4 per share since tbe break, and the
proposed new railroad alliar.ee and con
solidations are counted upon as if there
w ere no ebarce of unfriendly interference
by western legislatures. There Is already
heard as a stirfiulus to speculation much
talk of the passage of a bin for the tree
coinage of silver at the next session.
TREASURY OPERATIONS.
“The treasury has not been able to give
any assistance to the money market during
the past week, but has put out $1,503,000
more silver notes, nearly balancing the net
withdrawals of JLBOO,OOO other money
from circulation. There is at present no
fear of disturbance from abroad, as the
fuixl3 in the Bank of England increase
rapidly and the rate of .sterling exchaage is
maintained.
“The business failures for the weak num
ber 211, against 210 for the corresponding
week of last year.”
A NEW STEAMSHIP LINE.
Rumors That It is to Touch at Savan
nah In the Orange Traffic.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 28.—Manager
Ives of the Florida Fruit Exchange to-day
telegraphed that anew line of steamships
won Id shortly bo placed between New York

AI-EDICAL
Be Sure
If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. A Boston lady, whose example is
worthy Imitation, tells her experience below:
“ In one store where I went to buy Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own Instead of Hood’s; he told me their’s
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
To Get
days’ trial; that if I did not like It I need not
pay anything, etc. But ho could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I had taken
Hood's Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at times I could hardly
Hood’s
stand. I looked like a person in consump
tion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so much
good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mas.
