ficient amount of next year’s encampment
appropriation to oontinne the preamt camp
one week longer was introduced iu the

A resolution was passed in tbe House in
creasing the committee on the congressional

lution to appoint a committee of ten to in
vestigate and report upon toe expenditure
of the encampment appropriation for this
year, and the deficit therein. Mr. Hartridge

MURDER OR SUICIDE.
A Bick and Penniless Dana Pound
Stabbed to Death at Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., July 8, —A singular rase
ot murder or suicide was disordered this
afternoon. Julius Neilson was a yonng
Dane who had been in this country
but five months, and could speak no
English. He was employed in the Augusta
brewery, and boarded near there in a
cheap boarding house run by Antonio
Meurer. Neilson has been sick for
a day or two, and this morning was
found dead in bed about 5 o'clock. lie
was lying face down and his position
was not changed until this afternoon when
the coroner's jury went to inspect the body.
Then, so far as it is known, it'was for the
first time discovered that the bed w as bloody,
and that a two-edged dagger was lying by
the body and five state had been
made in the man’s stomach. I'ri r
to that time it was supposed
that he died from natural causes a idihe
discovery created a sensation. Toe case is
a singular one. There were two other men
asleep in the room when the death of the
young man was discovered this morning,
and it seems strange that the young fellow’
could have stabbed himself to
death in this way without any
outcry sufficient to awake them.
It is impossible to ascribe any motive for
the murder, however, as be couldn't speak
a word of English, was a stranger and
hadn't a dollar iu the world. The more
reasonable theory is that, eick and depressed,
without friends or mouey, ho determined to
end his life, but jt seems almost impossible
that he could have stabbed himself again
and again through the bowels, when either
of the wounds were sufficient to produc e
death.
LUTHER MARTIN'S REMAINS.
The Body Washed Up on Cumberland
but Carried Off Again.
Brunswick, Ga., July B.—The body of a
white man was discovered on Cumberland
Island beach|yesterday bv a party of ladies.
They hurried to the Cumberland Island
hotel and reported the matter, but a dili
gent and careful search by a party
of gentlemen failed to dis
cover any traces of the body.
It is supposed that it was carried off by the
tide. The ladies described the man as
seeming to be about 60 years old, and
dressed in low quartered shoes, dark pauts
and a calico shirt. It is supposed to be the
body of Luther Martin, who drown him
self on St. Simon’s last Saturday.
WATSON FOR GOVERNOR.
He is Reported to Have Bold His Law
Library and Retired.
Atlanta, Ga., July 8. —An interesting
bit of gossip is going the rounds to-night.
The basis of it all is that Congressman Tom
Watson has sold his law library and has an
nounced that he has retired permanently
from the practice of law. The politicians
have it that Col. Watson is grooming for
governor, and that he will inevitably be in
the next race.
Gotham’s False Report.
Brunswick, Ga., July B.—Thera are no
new developments regarding the false yel
low fever reports about Brunswick. Health
Officer Du;.wody has wired the New York
World for the came of the author of the
bogus special, but nas received no reply.
Why suffer w ith sick headache and bilious,
ness when Simmons Liver Regulator will
cure you?—Ad.
like the electric line.
Col. Tift Eavlncr a Bard Time to Get
Over the Central’s Tracks.
Albany, Ga., July B.—From the appear
ance of things at present Albany is on the
eve of a railroad war, in which the Centr .l
railroad, Col. Nelson Tift and the city
council will be the principals. Some m01.t..a
ago the Arlesian City railroad, built by
Col. Tift, wag completed to the Central
railroad track on either side, but for some
reason the Central would not allow Cool.
Tift to cross the track. The street railroad
crosses tbe Central, which runs up North
street, In two places, and the
street cars have been jumping the
track at the intersection of Jefferson and
North streets, but at the other crossing,
which is near the depot, several tracks are
laid along North street, which makes the
jumping business impossible for the street
cars. Tbev have been transferring at this
point, which was a great deal of trouble.
Yesterdav .1 M. Tift, general manager
of the street car line, made a
proposition to J. M. Williams, the
Central --'-stem's roadmaster, which
would briDg about a settlement of
the difficulty. Mr. lift says: “I toid Mr.
Williams that ws would put in a good.
safs crossing, and that ho could place a
man there to see that the work is done
properly. Mr. Williams said he oouid not
return to the city uutil Thursday, but then
he would come and assist in
the work, speaking as though he
fully complied with my proposition.
We continued grading and getting
things ready for crossing on Thursday,
which would have completed the street
railway belt around the city. But instead
of doing what he told me he would do his
company files a bill of injunction to keep us
from crossing the tracks at the intersection of
Washington and North streets. Col. Tift has
offered the Central SSOO and made all other
possible overtures for the privilege of cross
ing, and when we thought an amicable set
tlement had been reached they carried out
their part of a verbal understanding by to
day filing the bill. Now I can promise you
some hot times in the matter, for things
have got to come to a close.”
Mauy citizens are highly indignant at the
way the street railroad is being treated. Ft
is said that the Central w ill agree to a cross
ing if the street railroad will pay for it and
then become responsible for all damage
that may be done on said crossing. A
lively contest is looked for.

The Water Leaves the Colorado
River Eight Miles From El Rio.
Los Angeles, Cal., July B.—A party
sent cut by tbe Southern Pacific Railroad
Company from Ogilbie last week to find the
source of the Salton lake, has returned. A
report reoelved at the railroad offloe last
night says: “The water leaves the Colorado
river at a point eight miles from El Rio and
flows through several channels from four to
six feet deep and from thirty to sixty feet
wide. It flow3 westward along the saud
hills on the route of the old
overland stage, at this station making a
stream 100 yards wide or more, aud having
a velocity of four miles an hour and gain
ing. It was too deep to get its depth, but
the old slough at this point was formerly
twenty foet deep. This is about thirty-five
miles from the river. We followed the
stream two miles further in the direction of
Indian Weils. The water is all the way
from half a mile to two miles wide,
and from two to four feet deep, hav
ing a velocity of two miles an hour.
The main channel extends fifty-two miles
from the Colorado river, and at this point
it enters the desert for Salton. The old
stage route, with the exception of five or
six miles, Is all covered with water. This
set las the question of the water supply con
clusively as from the Colorado river.”

this end himself and his companion were
going to Utah and Colorado to inspect cer
tain well-known mining properties. They
would make a report on them which could
be relied on upon the bourse. This was
made necessary by the numerous wildcat
reports which have been spread abroad in
Paris about American enterprises.
CURTAILMENT OF COTTON.
A Movement on Foot to Secure a Re
duced Acreage.
Charleston, 8. C., July B.—The low
price of cotton is causing great dissatisfac
tion among the farmers in this state, and
various propositions have been made to
limit the production—by decrease of the
acreage, by plowing up ons-fourth cf the
present growing crop and by other devices,
The farmers’ alliance of Marlboro county
in this state has adopted the following reso
lutions:
1. That we pledge ourselves to plant only ten
acres of cotton to the horse in 1892; provided
we can get the co-operation of all the cotton
states, so as to decrease the production of cot
ton and so obtain due reward for our labor.
2. That we request the state alliance to
call ior a convent.on of the cotton growers of
the south, irrespectiveof class or color, to meet
not later than Dec. 1 next, to consider the
same. The state alliance will meet at Spartan
burg, July 22, and will probably take actiou on
the subject.
