clothing wae blazing, and he had jerked
himself until his feet lay in the Are. He
thus remained until hU right foot had
burned into a crisp and the bare bones of
his toes protruded. His left leg was terri
bly burned from above his knee. It is
apprehended by the physicians of the town
that amputation will be necessary.
How tie fire became extinguished Dr.
Dorsey cam t tell, but his fr:e ds think the
pain aroused him in time to save himself
from being burned alive. He made his way
to the !>ed and fell upon it. aud thus be lay

fio’cbck in the evening before Mr. Coulon

Albany -Verna and Advertiser: S. G.
Long is a prominent planter of Worth
county, who lives near Warwick and does a
mercantile business at a country store on
his plaoe. G. Lewis—if that is his name—is a
New York crook of the green goods variety.
The whole story is as follows: Mr. Long
received a letter some time ago from New
Y rk signed G. Lewis, offering him bar
gains in jewelry. The fact that Mr. Lo g
runs a country s'.o e and deals in general
merchandise, handling this class of goods in
his stock, led him to look upon
the offer in a favorable light. Mr.
Long replied to the letter, ask
ing for details about the transaction, and
when the reply came he felt fullv satisfied
that it was to his interest to order a ship
ment of goods from this party. He did,
and o dered the g:ods shipped by express
to Albany. Coming to the city on
Tuesday Mr. Ling called at the express of
fice and asked if there wa* a package there
for him. He was informed that there was
and when he inquired the amount of the
charges he was surprised when informed
that he would have to deposit $l5O
together with the regular charge
for transmitting the package.
MV. Long paid the $l5O and the otuer
charges and putting the little package in
his pocket he felt his wealth with the assur
ance that he had value received. He soon
discovered that what he thought was $l5O
worth of jewelry was a little b x filled with
coal. He called upou Judge D. H. Pope,
and explaining to him the snap into
which he had gotten asked his advice.
Judge Pope told him that his only reoourse
was to serve a summons of garnishment ou
the agent of the express company to ke-p
him from sending the money away and this
was done. The papers were sworn out, and
being placed in Deputy Sheriff Godwin’s
hands were served upon th agent before he
could get the money off. The agent is bold
ing the mo ey and the final disposition of it
will be adjudged by the court.

Tho former brilliant United States Sen

in the retreat at Detroit, Mich. The Detroit
Times of Nov. 30 says: “Ex-Senator Jones
of Florida, who startled the country five
years ago by alleging a conspiracy of prom
inent men agaiust him, is still the star pa
tient at the retreat in Dearborn.
The ex-senator continues to nurse
the delusion. On ordinary matters
his judgment is apparently sound, and he
discusses political matters a3 ably and intel
ligently as ever. His remarks, however, do
not flow with the freedom of yore, and are
liable to be brought to an abrupt close.
Physically he is in much better condition
than for years. The ex-senator is denied to
all visitors, even his most intimate friends.
On pleasant days he is permitted to Btroll
about the grounds and never attempts to
get away. He has lost none of his old-time
dignity. Hope for his ultimate cure Las
bean abandoned."

stronger tone than it has for some time, the
retult being material advances in some of the
leading stocks and smaller gains in almost
everything traded in. Tne opening was very
dull but generally higher than last night's prices
and further improvement was made from first

west was buying freely of its favorites, there
was again an endeavor to cover some of the
outstanding shorts, which materially Increased
the business done and kept the upward move

Chicago, Deo. s. — There was a quiet business
in wheat most of the day. but a rather linn
tone prevailed, prices averaging above yester
day's close. Both side- were able to draw
some comfort and consolation from the news in
circulation, and this fact helped to keep tho
maiket fairly steady. Most of the pri vate wire
houses and the crowd generally seemed dis
posed to buy, aud selling was
rather meager and cautious. May wheat
opened at 96'go. improve! slowly to 97(4c.
eased off a fraction, but during the last hour, in
tho face of easier late cables, grew strong
again, advancing to 97(4e, closing firm at 97(40,
against 97c at the close yesterday. Shortscov
ered freely on Increasing strength and there was
some good investment buying. Corn was in
clined to weakness. The clique, which sold a
good deal of Deoemb-r corn on yesterday's
bulge delivered a good deal of it, and this made
the market weak to-dav. as parties who re
ceived it did not want It and put it on the market.
The clique is showing a disposition to
milk the trade; they seem disposed
for the present, to soil on bulges, deliver
corn, break prices, and then cover at a proflt.
If, as is claimed, they completed a deal, they do
not want the advance to start now, as it would
necessitate buying with current receipts for
som weeks at high prices. They prefer to keep
prices about on a shipping basts for some time
yet. Receipts of contract corn were
light, only 15 oars out of 444 cars
in alk This ought to have proved a bull factor,
but did not. December opene! at 4614 c, sdd
off to 4644 c, reacted with wheat to *7-V rt c, weak
ened to 4. (qc, advanced to 47(4 ; and closed at
47540. May was steady within a range of (4e.
Oats were q uiet and steady, closing unchanged
to a shade higher. Hog products opened higher
on small receipts of live hogs—only 18,000 head
—and an advance of 10c followed. But the ad
vance developed free selling and the gam was
lost A slight rally followed when corn ad
vane and. During tho last h ur the market was
steady and the close was near inside figures and
at moderate declines compared with yester
day's last figures.
