Atlanta Herald: Dr. Baldwin’s action in
the affair between himself and Mr. Flaming
has bean indorsed by a majority of the
farmers' aliiancemen of the legislature. He
has been indorsed tw ice in fact, but the first
set of resolutions which were passed last
Tuesday night at a meeting attended by
over ICO members of the alliance organiza
tion in the legislature aud presided over by
President Nunnally, proved upon closo
inspection to bo ungrammatical.
The doctor discovered that two
negatives make an afllrmntive, and vice
versa, and found that, s'.rictly construed,
the resolutions he carried so proudly iu his
pocket really amounted to no indorsement
at all. And the doctor was troubled. He
conferred with bis alliance friends in tho
legislature, and as a result another meeting
was called, and thirty mem tiers of
the organization met together in room
21 of tho capitol and doctored up the doc
tor’s resolutions. Some of the
papers down in Dr. Baldwin’s
neck ’o the woods have been
rather oaustic in their comment in tho
Fleming affair aud the fighting physician
from Randoloh sought an exoneration.
Incidentally the doctor came near getting
into a difficulty with Capt. Hmith of Gwin
nett last night at the Kimball house. Capt.
Smith made one of his characteristic bitt3r
remarks concerning the 94 and seemed to
allude to Dr. Baldwin, who was near. A
difficulty was prevented by the interposition
of friends.

Canaveral breakwater: "Titusville, Fla.,
Sept, 129, 1991.—Mr. President anil Gentle
men of the Phosphate Convention at (ioala,
Fla.: In the matter of reducing freight
rates on phosphates I am instructed by the
directors of the Canaveral and South Flor
ida Bailroad Company to call your atten
tion to tha following facts: The legislature
of Florida has memorialized congress to
build a breakwater and harbor of refuge in
the bight of Canaveral. This will afford a
first-class deep water harbor oo the
hitherto inaccessible east coast of South
Florida, twenty-five miles distant
from Titusville, the terminus of
the Jacksonville. Tampa and Key West
system. It has any depth of water desired,
up to tbirty-six feet, unlimited aneh rage
r'M”ti and no bar or other obstacle in ent-r
--!>Jti .‘.-parting. This company proposes
to connect this harbor with the railroad
system of Florida by buildiug a railroad
from Canaveral, oithor to Kissimmee or
Titusville, the Kissimmee route being mat
favored, so as to obtain connection with tbs
Mouth Florida railroad and the phosphate
mines, and ali to be within reaoh of the
Florida Ceutrai and Peninsular system and
Grange Beit railroad. According to tha
figures reported to us as the current rates
of freight on phosphate, the opening

of this route will effect a saving
on shipments made via Canaveral over
! Bavaunah of some $2 46 per ton; over

Tamoa of some $1 06 per ton; or a general
average over oil the ports of $l 79 ier ten.
A comprehensive statement of tho cost of
shipping phosphate by the four ports, ac
cording to the best information that we can
i obtain, is herewith submitted for your con
sideration. You will doubtless recognize
the great importance of this port to the
phosphate interests, and the advantage of
effecting so great a reduction in freights;
and, If you can assist our Indiau river peo
ple in obtaining the ueeossarv appropria
tion for the breakwater, it will tea benefit
to all parts of South Florida. Respearfully

lowest pr.ces, which were generally mate yes
terday morning. London continued to buy
liberally of its specialties, and reports from
that center indicate a very bullish feeling in

special feature of the day, rising Bharply on
largely increased busin ss * Missouri Pacific,
however, led the upward movement, though
Rock Island was not far behind, and among
low-priced shares Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago

of yes-erday, and Missjuri Pacific way 154 per

siderable liquidation of long accounts to rea ize
profits accrued on the rise of the last twenty
four hours, but concessions were small in all
cases, and the upward movement was resumed
with vigor after these sales had been absorbed.
The advance was heavy and listed uu to the

Chicaoo, Oct. 3.— The bullish enthusiasm
with which trading closed yesterday caused
everything to open stronger this morning, but
this feeling soon eised out, and for the re
mainder of the day the course of prices was
generally downward, with the close iu all of the
trading pits at or near tae lowest figures.
Wheat furnished the trade with a genuine sur
prise. At the start it looked very strong.and fora
few minutes everybody was looking for an
excited and buoyant market. Bui a change
quickly followed, and was an unexpected
event. The opening price of December was
9944 clO $1 00)5 ai *d t e latter wus the top
figuft*. After a few minutes wheat began to
couth out, and the crowd was staggered by the
magnitude of the offering a sd private cables
coining iu lov, er, and good reported in t .e
winter wheat bolt wit:i clearing weather in the
northwest, prices began to tumble. The bulls
lost heart at once and hastened to get rid of
their wheat. Short sellers raided the market
viciously, and it did not take ten min
utes 10 send prices back to 9.>c,
and finally 98%c was touched. There was a
slight reaction, but the market continued heavy,
sagging off to fhtyc in the last hour and closing
weak at 98%c. Cora started stronger and higher,
partly in sympathy with the strength in wheat,
but largely in small receipts, only ses*enty-six
cars being r ported where 100 had been ex
pected. October sold early at ar;d
up to 55c. Tnen realizing sales became
free, and wheat making its big
break corn followed. Detobor sold
off to 5Jc, reacted to 54?£c and fell to 53%c.
The market then steadied for a tune, but re
smned its downward course durinr the after
nooa,closing at the bottomfprics, 53%c, against
sU£c yesterday'. Oats were firm early, with
ot ier grains, but weakened with them and sold
off later. Pr. visions were weak, mainly iu
sympathy with ccrtal*. Pork scored a decline
of lard 2Vsc*for October and January,
while i.’ecember was unohange i. Bibs were 5c
higher for October, unchanged fji* November
an 1 lower for January.

A WORD IN BEHALF OF DOO W L
SON.
Ha Was Not Connected With the Coal
Mines Tragmdy.
Trenton, Ga., Oot. I.—Editor Morning
News: I arrived at Dade coal mines one
day last week, and Capt. Ruce, who is in
charge of the convicts at Coal City, very
kindly allowed me to see my brother, Don
Wilson, who is confined in the penitentiary.
I had heard before 1 left Savannah that my
brother was connected with the recent at
tempt to break out, in which two of ihe
guards were killed, but since my arrival
Capt. Race hns informed me tbit he has
had no information concerning my brother,
D.o Wiison, with the unfortunate affair.
Monday Wilson Palmer (white) was
put on trial in Dade superior court for the
killing of Pat Rowland, one of the guards.
The cose was given to the jury on Tuesday,
and in a short time they brought in a ver
dict of guilty. A motion for anew trial
has been filed and his case will probably go
to the supreme cuurt, nnd a little time, if
nothing more, will be gained for the de
fendant. Palmer. Palmer was sent to the
penitentiary fr m Thoinasville for burglary
about three years ago. He is thought to
ba o been the partner of il rgan in thefur
robbery in lud ana a few years ago.
On Wednesday the case of John Ruther
ford was taken up for the killing of the
same guard, and the jury after remaining
out all night brought m a verdict of guilty
with a recommendation to mercy. Ruther
ford was sent to the penitentiary from Ful
ton county for burglary. This iast attempt
was the third one Rutherford has been in
sinco ho was put in the penitentiary. O.i
Thursday the case against Abe Wyman
w s tnke-i up. Wyman was sent to tbe peni
tentiary from Chatham for murder and is
serving a life sentence, but will no doubt
have it cut short by tbe verdict of the jury
iu the case now on trial.
In the invmtigation of these cases in
court Doc Wilson’s name has not been con
nected in anv way with the attempt to
break out ou June 23 last in which the
guards were killed. E. C. W ilson.
