Alligators.
Sanford, Fla , Sept. 20.—50 far|the
steady rains have not caused much drop
ping of oranges, and the trees are putting
on a fine growth.
Sanford is just now rejoicing over the
expected presence here next week of the
Clyde Line river steamer Fred de Barry
to resume her regular winter trips be
tween this city and Jacksonville. She
will be soon followed by her larger and
more elegant companion steamer, the
City of Jacksonville. Then business will
start up in earnest, and the tide of win
ter travel begin to pour through this
-Gate City of South Florida.” Hotel
men are already preparing to put their
houses in order for a good business, and
for the first time in several years the ele
gant hotel at Longwood, greatly im
proved. will throw open its doors. This
fact is taken as a sure indication that ex
perienced hotel men anticipate a rush to
Florida this winter, tourist rates having
been arranged in a most satisfactory
manner.
APPRECIATED WORDS OF CHEER.
The Gate City Chronicle of this city,
one of the most successful and progres
sive papers in the state, under the head
of “A Splendid Newspaper,” thus com
pliments your highly appreciated and
old reliable journal:
• The Savannah Morning News is de
termined to give its patrons the best that
can be had in the way of news and at the
earliest possible mometit. The daily
comes to South Florida on the same mail
that brings the Jacksonville dailies,
while the weekly -one of the best in the
country—now comes twice a week, and is,
therefore, always fresh and spicy. Col.
Estill is a veteran newspaper man, and
wins abundant success by his constant
efforts to deserve it.”
I might add that wherever I go in
Florida there seems to be the same spirit
of kindly appreciation of the Morning
News. For more than twenty years I
have noted its devotion to Florida inter
ests. and its efforts to give the people of
this state a iive. reliable newspaper,
one especially valuable to business men.
It has seen hundreds of daily papers rise
and fall in Florida, but it has pursued the
-even tenor of its way,” steadily growing
in circulation and in the confidence of the
best class of people throughout the state.
a remarkable career.
From parties just back from summering
at Melbourne beach, on the east coast. I
learn that there is now but little doubt
that the notorious forger and confidence
woman, Mrs. Hicken, in jail at Atlanta, is
no other than Mrs. Mcb'adden of Mel
bourne beach, and her associate, who
passes as her husband, is one Thomson, a
boat builder, who left Florida about the
same time Mrs. McF'adden de
parted. As they are humble and
respectable people, industrious and pros
perous as boat-builders and seafaring
men, her husband and sons can in no way
be responsible for her remarkable career
in crime. She seems to have stepped out
of her humble sphere here in Florida aDd
suddenly become a successful and dan
gerous forger and swindler in Chicago, at
Boston, in New York and other large cit
ies, finally landing with her bogus hus
band in jail at Atlanta. Her history is
equal to a dime novel sensation.
SENATOR HAMMOND’S CONVERSION.
No event in Florida of late has caused
more real gratification than the con
version of Hon Ed. M. Hammond of Or
lando, late state senator. His genial
manners and brilliant talents as a lawyer
and statesman had made him universally
popular, and but for his love of the social
glass he could have been chief justice,
governor or United States senator. Sud
denly. to the great joy of his family and
friends, he became an humble seeker after
the grace of God aud the pardon
of his sins. These secured, he at once
turned his great gifts of oratory
and intellect into the service of the cause
of Christ. After two weeks' faithful
work in Orlando he went to his old home
in Atlanta and surprised his former gay
associates by his earnest and eloquent
discourses. Next week he will be in
Jacksonville to help in a revival meeting
there. It is probable that Senator Ham
mond will enter the active ministry as
his life work, and if he
does he is sure to become
one of the ablest and most eloquent
divines in the Southern Methodist church.
He comes of a religious family. His
father, the late Judge Dennis F. Ham
mond, was an earnest local exborter. and
his brother. Judge \V. it. Hammond of
Atlanta, is noted i'or his Christian and
temperance labor in that city; while his
brother, Hev. Dr. John D. Hammond, now
president of Centra! College in Missouri,
is a foremost educator ami divine of the
Southern Methodist church. His sister
is the wife of Hon. A. D. Adair, a leading
cotton merchant of Atlanta, and one of
the most zealous arid liberal supporters of
the Southern Baptist convention mission
ary work in Cuba and elsewhere With
such an environment it is quite reasona
ble to anticipate for Senator Hammond
in his new field of labor a success most
gratifying to his nearest and dearest
friends.
THOSE PERFORMIN'G ALLIGATORS.
The announcement that -‘Down in
Dixie,” the new spectacular play, has the
only two performing alligators extant is
hardly correct. A few years ago Deacon
E. C. Hungerlord. the well known Ches
ter, Conn., banker and philanthropist,
purchased two good si,.ed alligators in
Orlando and put them in Lily Lake, in
the city park, fronting his elegant winter
residence at Maitland. Assisted by Dr
C. C. Hasikell and others, he succeeded
in domeslscating these saurians and in
time learning them to perform
various tricks in exchange for
fresh meat and other articles of
food. In this way they became some
what famous, aud not unfrequently
in the winter several carriage loads oif
visitors can be seen around the lake from
Seminole hotel at Winter Park and the
Altamonte Springs hotel watching these
alligators periorm. u response to a
whistle they will come out into the park
quite a distance after the proffered food.
But if they are called out several times
and not fed, they get mad and make the
lookers-on scatter. A brilliant young
lawyer of New York, a capitalist from
Cleveland and a well-known journalist
were one day made "to get up and dust”
in a hurr.v. Dr. Haskell, on one occa
sion, was worrying them to amuse
the spectators from the hotels, by pulling
the meat away just as they were about to
grub it. when the larger one of the two by
a sudden t ank movement not only got the
meat, but inflicted quite a wound upon
the doctor's hand. Since that time peo
ple are more careful in their intercourse
with these now famous alligators. If well
treated they are as tame aud harmless as
an ordinary house eat or do*, hut it is
dangerous to fool with them beyond a cer
tain point.
Dullness in Copper Mining.
Houghton, Mich.. Sept. 20.—Owing to
the suspension of mining works at all the

Keweenaw was out 1 of the populous coun

TOBACCO MEN ENTHUSE.
They Will Have a Record Breaking
Exhibit at the Atlanta Fair.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20.—Representa
tives of many of the greatest tobacco
establishments in America assembled to
day in Atlanta lor the purpose of taking
preliminary steps toward the inaugura
tion of the most elaborate display of the
tobacco resour-es of this and other
countries ever seen in the world. The
movement was inaugurated a few weeks
ago through correspondents of leading
tobacco men with the Cotton States and
International Exposition of Atlanta.
; which is to be thrown open in the fall of
; 1895.
The exposition invited representatives
of all of the leading tobacco establish
ments to be here to day to have a full
conference concerning the matter. The
tobacco men say that no exposition has
ever given this gr. at industry the recog
nition warranted by the richness of this
resource, which ranks second among the
staple products of this country.
The effort to secure an independent
building at the world's fair at Chicago
failed, and such of the tobacco industry as
was exhibited was scattered in various
places. It was likewise so at the centen
nial at Philadelphia. Leading tobacco*
men have conceived the idea of exhibiting
in Atlanta in a separate build
ing the most elaborate display of
the tobacco industry that has ever
been made, and great enthusiasm charac
terized to-day’s conference. Representa
tives were present from such firms as P.
I orrilard A Go. of Jersey City. Vetter
lien Bros of Philadelphia, Pons & Cos. of
New York, Hernshien Bros. & Cos. of
New Orleans, Heineinan Bros, of Balti
more and more than twenty of the lead
ing tobacco establishments of Virginia,
North Carolina, Kentuckey and Florida.
Fifty representatives of the leading
tobacco houses of the country were pres
ent at to-day's conference with the
directors of the exposition. After a full
discussion of the matter the tobacco men
on motion of Air. Carroway, the repre
sentative of P. Lombard a Cos., seconded
by Mr. Hernsheitn of New Orleans, unan
imously adopted a resolution requesting
the directors of the exposition to erect a
separate building for the display of the
world's tobacco industry. They assured
the hearty co operation not only of the
firms represented, but of the trade gen
erally to the end of making in Atlanta
next year the most elaborate display of
the tobacco industry ever had in the his
tory of expositions
It has ueen originally contemplated
that the tobacco men should undertake
themselves to arrange for the erection of
their own building, but at to day's con
ference, the exposition directors assured
them that they would erect, without ex
pense to the tobacco industry, an inde
pendent building to be used for this dis
play, provided that the assurance was
extended that the tobacco men would
make a fitting exhibit of this great pro
duct. The resolution of the tobacco men
accepts this suggestion, and the board of
directors of the exposition this afternoon
ratified it. They referred the matter to
the executive committee of the exposition
with instructions to take steps at once for
the establishment of this feature of the
exposition. More than 100 letters from
leading tobacco establishments of
America and Cuba have been received,
assuring hearty co-operation in the move
ment, the success of which is now as
sured.
DEMOCRACY VS. POPULISM.
A Statement in Reply to Populist
Charges by Attorney General Ter
rell.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20.—Tom Watson
and other populist speakers have been as
serting that the Democratic party in
Georgia has been extravagant in the
management of the government. To-day
Attorney General Terrell gives the fol
lowing statement of facts, effectually an
swering these charges:
The total appropriations for the sup
port of the state government and public
institutions for 1894, except for common
schools and pensions amount to
*1.115,264. In this is included
*IOO,OOO for the erection of an additional
building at tho lunatic asylum. The
special taxes aggregate *691,846. De
duct this amount, which is raised other
than by property taxation, from the above
amount of *1,115,264 aud you will have
the necessary amount to be levied and
collected from a property tax, which is
*423,418. The taxable property’ for
1894 is *427.000,000. The rate neces
sary to raise this amount of *423,418 is
99-100 oi a mill, or a fraction over 99 cents
on the *1,000.’ The rate of taxation for
1894 as levied is 4.37 mill or *4.37 on the
thousand. This is made necessary
by the appropriations for schools and
pensions. The appropriation for schools
is *950,525.93, not including poll tax.
To raise this amount it would be neces
sary to levy a tax of 2.24 mills, or *2.40 on
the thousand. The appropriation for pen
sions to soldiers and widows is *460,000.
In order to raise this amount it is neces
sary lo levy a tax of 1.08 mills, or *I.OB on
the thousand. To cover insolvent lists and
to pay tax receivers and collectors
the expense of collection an additional
tax of .06 of a mill or .06 cents on the
thousand is necessary. These aggregate
rates make a total of 4.37 mills or *4.37 o n
the thousand. But for the appropriation
lor common schools and pensions the tax
rate would bo only 99 cents on the
#I,OOO of property, which is far tho
ldwest rate of any state in the union. If
the appropriation for erecting additional
buildings at the lunatic asylum, which is
included in the above, had not been re
quired by the act of 1893, this exceedingly
low rate would have been about 24 cents
on the thousand lower, in other words,
the rate of 75 cents per thousand
would be sufficient to run the gov
ernment and meet all tho ap
propriations, except the annex to tho
asylum, the pensions aud common school
funds. The state of Kansas has a popu
list governor and a populist legislature.
The tax rate there for this year as shown
by the Kansas acts of 189.1, is 3.70 mills,
*3.70 on the thousand. Nothing whatever
is appropriated in Kansas for commou
schools and pensions. Teat state
has a common school system sup-'
ported by district taxes, which is
an additional tax to the 8.70
rate. Citizens are called upon by a pop
ulist government to pay *3.70 on the
thousand for wnat a democratic govern
ment in Georgia calls upon the citizens
here to pa.v 75 cents, if the people of
Georgia desire the common schools abol
ished and all pensions to confederate
soldiers and widows withdrawn, then tho
tax rate may be lowered to 75 cents per
thousand.
OAPT. CAPERS CLEARED.
.Acquitted of tho Charge of Criminal
Libel Brought by Dr. Byrd.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 20.—Capt. John
G. Capers, Senator Butler s political
manager, was tried at Florence to-day
and promptly acquitted of the charge of
criminal libel brought against him by Dr.
Byrd, the Titliuanite state senator elect.
A card had appeared in the Columbia
state over Capers’ signature intimating
that Byrd had improperly .gained posses
ions of a political letter written by Capers.
FLORIDIAN B PLAY BALL.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRI DAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1804.
IN THE IRON WORLD.
t Increased Product and Consumption
Reported.
Cleveland, 0., Sept. 20.—The Iron
Trade Review says to-day: "The fact
that pig iron production has advanced so
rapidly in the past six weeks without
causing any accumulation of stocks, the
• r September showing that <<Jke
iron on hand had further decreased in
August, has been taken as an index of
considerably enlarged consumption. It is
true that the weekly rate of pig iron pro
duction Sept. 1 was greater than in four
teen months, but most of the added coke
furnaces had not been long enough
in blast on that date to affect
' stocks. There is no question that
1 production is now in excess of current de
mand. and in Bessemer pig, which is be
ing produced by more than four-fifths of
the furnaces in Allegheny county and the
Mahoning and Shenandoah valleys, a fur
ther weaking in price is noted. For de
liveries after this month there have Deen
sales as low as i11.25, Pittsburg. Steel
billets have shared in the decline and
*16.50 can be done for forward deliveries.
Here and there a fair amount of trading
is reported in foundry iron, but the bulk
of the buying is of the small lot order for
quick shipment, and foundry men are not
unanimous as to a distinct improvement.
I ipe louuders are generally well supplied
with work and southern furnace men
have sold some round lots of iron on this
account. There are evidences that
the low freights made some months ago
from southern points were prolonged to
certain northern territory after the gen
eral advance took place. While the rail
roads have been freer buyers the past
month, their purchases are not of the
kind for which the iron trade has long
been waiting. Car shops are more active
and car-wheel founders have more to do,
though prices are at the lowest point. In
finished material there is sharp competi
tion, and buyers are getting the advantage
of the anxiety of large producers to
keep up the present pace of operations.
In nearly every case the mills are deliver
ing more material than they are selling
and cut prices are inevitable. The hope
ful phase of the situation is
the wide distribution of demand,
indicating that stocking up is
the general policy. Mills in Pitts
burg district and in the central west, in
cluding Chicago, seem for the time being
in better shape than thosa in the east,
though there is some indicatious that the
latter seetiou is returning the attentions
western producers have been paying to
the eas t.
A SAVANNAH BOY RESCUED.
Interesting Improvements in the St.
Augustine Cathedral.
St. Augustine, Fla., Sept. 20.—Herman
Cohen, a 5-year-old son of Mr. S. Cohen of
Savannah, fell from the pier in front of
the Ocean View hotel, Tuesday, and but
for the timely aid of Mr. G. W. Banks of
Georgia would have drowned. Air.
Cohen and family have been guests at this
hotel for several weeks.
The work oi placing the marble altar
in the cathedral was commenced to-day,
Mr. Draddy of Italy coming over for the
purpose, he being one of the firm of
Draddy Bros, of New York, who fur
nished the altar for St. Patrick's cathe
eral, New York. This is of white Car
raca marble, standing about 15 feet high,
its general architecture is Roman and in
keeping with the architecture of the
building. The altar proper is approached
by three steps. The sub-altar is about 8
feet in hight; above this is a miniature
temple or vaulted alcove, where a statue
of the Blessed Virgin, 4% feet high, will
be placed. This is the work of a sculptor,
and very perfect.
The order issued by the Secretary of
War changing troops has caused quite a
commotion here, as it takes the headquar
ters of the Fifth infantry to Fort Mc-
Pherson and brings two batteries of the
Fourth artillery here. Really this is an
artillery post. Several companies of the
Fourth have been on duty before, in fact,
were relieved by this "regiment three
years ago last June.
Paymaster Eckels of Atlanta arrived
yesterday and made the boys happy by
disbursing among them over #4,000. As
this is in addition to the bills contracted
and paid by commissary and quartermas
ter and officers’ salaries it will be readily
seen that maintaining a post in this city
is an item of some importance to its pros
perity.
EMORY COLLEGE.
Tha Prospects for a Prosperous Year
Are Good.
Oxford, Ga., Sept. '2o.—Emory College
opened yesterday. The prospects for a
good term are very promising. Already
the old chapel is full atjd the boys con
tinue to come. Tbe attendance this year
will be much larger than it has ever been
in the history of the institution. One
hundred and twenty-five new students
from all parts of the state are expected
and the total enrollment will doubtless
reach 800.
A change has been made in faculty this
year. Prof. Harris has been appointed
to tho chair of Greek, recently occupied
by Dr. H. A. Scomp.and Mr. W. B. Gridin
elected as adjunct professor of modern
languages. Mr. Griffin was formerly a
resident of Oxford and is an old Emory
boy, having graduated in the class of ’BS.
He is an aDle and competent instructor
and the college does well to secure his
services.
Savannah is well represented at Emory
this term. Among those from the Forest
City are Messrs. Shuptrine, Carr. Gar
many, Walter and Will Johnson, Winn,
Robert, Edward and Thomas Thomson.
Emory, while a Methodist institution,
throws open her doors to all worthy
young men The curriculum Is as high
as that oi any college iu the state, and
its moral tone cannot be excelled. The
college campus bus recently been im
proved and is an excellent grove of oaks
and hickory. Perhaps no better site for
such an institution could be found than
here.
SOUTH GEORGIA POLITICS.
Mr. Turner Addressing Large Audi
ences All Along the Line.
Tifton, Ga., Sept. 20.—Hon. Heury G.
Turner will address the democracy of
Irwin county in Irwinville Saturday. The
Tifton and Northeastern railroad will
run a special train from here to Irwin
ville.
Lamou Smith and Henry Hull, who
were put in jaii here yesterday under a
charge of selling whisky without liscense.
were gone when Marshal McGuire went
down to carry them breakfast this morn
ing. The door of the guardhouse had
been broken open with an ax, and the
bars of the cell in which they were con
fined prized loose. It is thought that
they were assisted in their escape by
their friends in the blind tiger business.
A good many people went from Tifton
to Poulan to-day to the barbecue and
democratic rally. Ham, Henry G. Tur
ner and Judge 11 ausell addressed them.

Race Track, Gravesend, Sept. 20.—Not
withstanding the recent heavy rainfall
the track this afternoon was in almost
first-class condition, b mg dead only in
spots. As tbe card was not specially at
tractive there was only a moderate at
tendance. There were two big events
down on the card for decision—the Wil
low Slakes and the Brookwood handicap.
Handspun won the Willow stakes very
handily from a big field, defeating a num
ber of good class fillies. Sir Excess and

DIRECTLY BREAKS CARBONATE’S RECORD.
Galesburg, 111., Sept. 20.—Another day
of race meeting on the Williams track
here to-day was voted successful by a
large crowd, which witnessed some good
events under a sunny sky. Robert J. was
started to beat his own record
of 2:01%, but failed, although the
track was in splendid condition.
His time was 2:02%'. Directly
shattered Carbonate’s record for 2-year
olds of 2:09, made at Terre Haute last
week, covering a mile in 2:07%. Onliue
attempted to beat the 4-year-old record of
2:07%, but the watches showed the same
figures when the horse came under the
wire, after a splendid effort. Joe Patchen,
2:04, and John R. Gentry, 1:03%, were
matched for $5,000 a side, the race to
take place Saturday.
A NEGRO’S FUSILLADE.
He Wounded Three Men With Hie
Ready Pistol.
Lyons, Ga., Sept. 20.—Josh Corbet, a
negro who keeps a restaurant and board
ing house for colored people, and another
negro, Allen Corsey, who has been owing
him a board bill for some time, got into a
dispute yesterday which may have a fatal
result. Corbet demanded payment of Cor.
sey, when a quarrel ensued. After a
few words Corbet, wiio was in the kitchen,
turned to*go in the house. Corsey shot
him, inflicting a wound under the left
shoulder blade that may prove fa
tal. Corsey then turned upon
another negro, Joe Jackson, with
whom he had been quarreling, and
shot him through the thigh. He then
started to run out, when he was met by
Perry Tolbert, whom he supposed wanted
to stop him. He shot Tolbert .through
the left elbow joint, breaking the bone,
and, as is usual in such cases, made his
escape.
Robert Giles, who owns a saw-mill
about ten miles from here, on the Ohoopee
river, has bought a tram engine, and to
day started it to the mill by the very
novel way of running it there along the
public road. He is doing it by laying
timbers down ahead of it and running it
on them. He started this morning about
ti o’clock, and is now (12 o’clock) about a
half mile from town.
