Paul showed us Tuesday last one of the fore paws of a huge otter caught by him on Saturday before iu Sugar creek swamp. Ti.e foot was pecul iarly webbed and fearfully armed with hooked nails. Dogs usually have a serious time when l hey attack these animals, as the hide is tough and very thickly covered with fur; besides, the otter is an expert in the use of both teeth and nails.

Bo d.s turbed and outraged was the minister that be was forced to abandon the pulpit and dismissed his congregation.

That has been a month ago and the vice president has not come. Neither has anything else been heard from them. The ninety davs in which the company binds itself to pay the money bas expired.

Carrying one load to tbe new resldenoe, Mr. Thomas went back for another. Mrs. Thomas be gan unpacking, and, forgetting that some powder had been packed in a box with bed clothes, jerked out a parcel of powder, which fell on the hearth and became ignited. The powder flashed up, throwing the flames over Mrs. Thomas and two little children. One child was only slightly singed, the other was badly burned, the mother tearing off its clothes even after tbe nails were bun.ed from her own fingers. Mrs. Thomas ran out of doors and, falling down, rolled over several times in the vain effort to extin guish tbe flames. Her clothing was burned up and her face and greater portion of her body burnt to a crisp. Her cries finally attracted the attention of someone work ing in a field some distance off. This man reached the bouse in time to put out the fire in the house which had burned through tho floor, near tbe fireplaoe. In a short time the house would have been consumed. Mrs. Howard died in a few hours, living long enough to give a clear account of the ac cident. The deceased was a daughter of Mr. Dempsey Roberts aud a good woman. At the instance of the bank of tbe uni versity, Judge N. L. Hutchins has ap p inte 1 a temporary reoeiver to take charge of the affairs of the firm of Julius Cohen & Cos., of Athens. Mr Charles W. Baldwin was the gentleman appointed by Judge Hutchins. Accordingly the doors of the store are closed aud tbe inventory of the stock is being taken. Monday the store will again be opened aud the sto :k w.ll be closed out. The cause of the failure wai a short 6a.e of the spring goods and bad collec tions. The debts due by the firm had to be met, and collections placed them where they could not meet them. The firm, seeing that they must fail, determined to protect their home creditors, and accordingly exe cuted mortgages on their stock to the amount of $30,000. These mortgages have been recorded at the court house, and are as follows: The Bank of the University, $10,000; H. B. Masters of New York, and Dr. J. A. Hunnicutt, $5,000; Mrs. Charles Reese, $2,500; Capt. J. J. C. McMahan, $1,000; Mrs. G. H. Yancey, $5,250; Mrs. Fannie Crane, $1,800; Mrs. Emma Harwich, SI,BOO. Thacondition of tbe firm’s business is as follows: (The liahilitiei amount to about $50,000. Tho assets amount to between $15,000 and $50,000. It is believed that with proper management the assets will cover the liabilities and that the firm wili be en abled to pay its debts to the full extent. It is quite certain that the home creditors are fully protected and will receive oue hundred cents on the dollar. G. H. Yancey is the partner in the firm. FLORIDA.

Kissimmee Leader : lost Friday a break occurred in tbe levee thrown up for irri gating the rice plantation at Fish lake. Tbe damage was repaired, but tbs next morning (Saturday) the great weight of water forced about 200 feet of the levee back a distance of ten feet without a break or crack from one end to the other. This bank or levee is about fifteen feet high and tweu’y feet in width, and composed of solid mack, which will give some idea of its great weight. As stated above, there was not a break or crack in the entire 200 feet—it was merely pushed book to its present position, making tbe canal ten feet wider. Several Italians were on the embankment at the time and those of them wbo failed to wade across the canal to the opp site bank, fell on tbe<r knees in prayer, feeling tbe aid of a supreme being more than they ever had before. Sam P. Sligh of Lady I/ike swallowed some carbolic acid Monday morning and it made nim deathly sick for some hours. In fact, when he realized aud his friends knew that he had swallowed tbe poison, grave fears of his life were entertained Mr. Sligh, when the aecident occurred, was in his orange grove with a force of hands spraying t e trees. He used carbolic ncid diluted in water. Tbe acid was in a jug, while a second jug of the same size and color contained drinking water. Feeling thirsty, Mr. Sligh i leked up what he thought was tbe water jug aud started to take a drink, but the liquid bad scarcely entered bis mouth when he discovered that it was tbe carbolic acid and not tbe water. At it was, but little of tbe poison passed down his threat; other wise the consequences would nudoubtedly have been serious. COMMERCIAL. ~ bAV A N . .

Tne stock market to-day continued its up ward movement, and while only in a few stocks was there material improvement for the day, everything advanced, and bull points for the next week were th.ck. The bank statement showed again a small increase in the surplus re serve, but this bad no apparent effect at the time, for it had been effectually discounted in the eariy dealings. The Grangers naturally led in the market, and buying orders from the west were, if anythin;, the leading element in strength in the market, confidence being based on the latest reports of the condition of crops and anticipation of an unusually heavy freight movement this season. St. Paul was. as usual of late, the most active stock by a large margin, but Rock Island displayed' the mast strength, and, with the two industrials, scored a marked advance for the day. The opening wae inode at a slightly lower level ot price* than thoae of last evening, and Louisville and Nashville was down 4 percent., but buying began la earnest immediately, an 1 prices, un der lead of Rock Island and Northern Pacific preferred, moved up until checked by realiza tions. when Rock Island was up 144 per cent. Cordage and Sugar were stronger in later trading, and failed to react with the general list. The issue of the bank statement was anti cipated by another upward movement, when most of the list reached the best prices of the day. Trading, however, was devoid of special feature, aud the market finally closed fairly active and strong, though not m all cases at tbe best prices. Final advances of note include only Cordage 1)4, Rock Island 14$. and Sugar 1 per cent.

May 23.—The bears scored a signal victory and we e in supreme control of the marxet from the start. So much long wheat was thrown overboard at the opening that it put the bull party at a great disadvantage all the day. This wheat went into the hands of the people who did not want it. except as am munition to use on any bull party that was dar ing enough to attempt a rally. Wheat left off at a decline of 144 c, corn dropped 2c and pork S7)4e. The weather was the all important consideration. The brilliant weather following the recent heavy and ge eral rains made the orop outlook good, which the ordinary bear seemed willing to bank on to his last dollar. The wheat market opened very weak, with sell ers so eager to dispose of their property that they started by offering July at )4c under yes terday's closing prices. Competition to get rid of it, however, waa so keen that it could not be absorb -d in cufilcient quantities or fast enough to suit the unhappy hollers, who underbid each other until 9844 c was the sellers' asking prices; thus in about one minute's trading 1)40 was lopped off the rrice. The price once being down could not be lifted again, at least not over 44° per bushel or so. July sold on the first de cline to 9814 c, and did not subsequen'ly get above 9})4c, and it closed at 9814 c. Good ac counts from the corn fields and liberal receipts were the influences under wbich corn dropped 2)4c and closed with a decline There were sell ers at the opening In July from 5344 c down to 5:14c, a recovery to 53)4c. and then a steady de cline set in. which continued until 51)4c was reached. Covering by shorts again carried it up to 52c, but it doted weak at 5!*4®5114c. There was a big slump in oats at the start, par ticularly July futures. Tne opening for July was at 42<g 42X;C. but inside of a minute it was selling at 41c. Taere was a reaction to 4114 c, only to b • followed by another decline to 41c. The close at 4114 c Indicated a loss of 114 c since yesterday Long cats came out in large quan tities and the selling was heavy. Crop prospects are still unfavorable, but rece.pts continue heavy, causing weakness in the cash market. There was considerable activity in the provision market and a much lower range of priers. Long stuff came out. The weakness was due to sym pathy with corn. There was a slight reaction from the bottom prices, but tbe market left off weak. The decline in pork amounts to 37)4c, and in lard and ribstolOc. The estimated re ceipts of hogs for Monday are 27,000, and for the week. 130.000. CazOAdo, May 23.—Cash quotations were as follows.
