A shocking accident occurred at Ma
rietta Monday morning as the train which
reaches Atlanta about noon came in on
the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Mrs.
Susan Smith, whose home is at Moore's
station, near Kennesaw, where she lived
with her son-in-law, D. Grimer, stepped
from the train while it was running at a
high rate of speed and received injuries
which will probably cause her death. Mrs.
Smith boarded the train at Acworth, in
tending, it is supposed, to visit Atlanta or
some point beyond. She is very old, being
apparently not less than 80. As the train
was running into Marietta the brakeman
called out the name of the town, as us
ual, and Mrs. Smith seems to have con
cluded that it was her destination. She
left her seat and went upon the platform,
from which she fell when opposite the
Brumby chair factory. Conductor Bell
was notified and backed the train to
where the old lady was found unconscious
She was removed to the Kennesaw House!
Her shoulder was found to be broken and
she has a severe wound in the head. It is
not believed that she can survive the
shock.

TITUSVILLE TOPICS.
Very- Little Daninge Done by the
Cold—River Traffic Brisk.
Titusville, Fla., Feb. B.—The blizzard of
Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursday of
last week has come and gone, and all re
ports from the country, the vegetable
growing sections, are to the effect that the
damage was very light. In. ail low places
beans and tomatoes were killed, but what
was planted on high, dry land escaped
unhurt. Tuesday night was the coldest,
when the mercury dropped to 36 degrees,
but the brisk winds blowing from the
north kept the frost from falling. The
dispatches of the weather bureau, fore
casting the temperature, were rather start
ling; but the orange and pineapple grow
ers are now all serene, as the cold did
not even hurt the new tender growth and
bloom on the trees. The pineapple grow
ers were feeling a little blue after the
cold spell of Jan. 2 and 3, but now find the
damage was nominal, and are looking for
an average crop of the luscious fruit for
the coming season.
The steamers of the I. R. & B. B. N.
Cos., from Titusville to Palm Beach, are
doing a live business since the tourist
season opened. These boats are elegantly
furnished, and run on the most picturesque
route on this continent. The Indian river
is long known as the Rhine of the Soith,
and the most romantic water course in the
“Land of Flowers,” so the traveler from
the frozen regions of the North, who does
not avail himself of a sail on the broad
placid waters of this beautiful stream,
meandering by lwialial villas, surrounded
by their ever-green orange groves and
spacious pineapple plantations, as well as
through immense forests of mangrove
trees, fails to see the natural scenery and
charm of these sub-tropical regions.
The citizens of Brevard and Dade counties
feel very Indignant about the parsimonious
eoffluct of the light house board, for their
tardiness in re-establishing the beacon
lights on Indian river. Our representatives
in Congress,, were instructed to press this
tmatter on the board, but it seems the de
partment is deaf to all appeals. The old
piles, without any lights on ihem, are con
stant sources of danger to steamers,
yachts, and all kinds of sailing craft.
Hon. David S. Hutchinson, a gentleman
of leisure, from Trenton, N. J., has just
finished building a novel craft. The boat is
constructed partly on the plan of the duck
boats so numerously used in the harbor of
Canton, China. The mast is set in the cen
ter of the house, which is square, with a
derrick and crank at the end for.-the pur
pose of hoisting the sail. Mr. Hutchinson is
an ardent sportsman, and will use the pe
culiar ship for duck hunting on the Indian
and Bana rivers.
J. G. Bast left last evening with his
launch for Courtenay, where he goes to
manage the Royal IBuekhounds Hunt Club
for the season. This club is composed
of gentlemen of prominence and wealth,
and is the most aristocratic association of
its kind on the east coast of Florida.
The Florida Railroad Commission is an
nounced to hold a session in Titusville
next Thursday. This will give shippers
an opportunity to lodge their complaints.
DEAD OR IN A TRANCE.
Strange Condition of n Man Supposed
to Have Died of Heart Disease.
Odum, Ga., Feb. B.—On last Sunday one
week ago Isham Moody was supposed to
have died of heart troubles. He had been
out to his barns seeing after the teamsters
feeding his stock, and on his return took
a seat in the piazza. In a few minutes he
went to his room and laid down on a bed
and in a few seconds more was from all
appearances, dead.
It was thought by all of his family that
he was dead. The necessary arrangements
were made for the interment of the body,
but on examination, the second day it was
found that there were no signs of decay,
and also that the natural color was yet
in the face. He has no pulse that can be
discovered and is cold, but not as cold as
is Visual in a corpse. Quite a number of
his friends and relations have visited the
family and all seem to think him dead, yet
there is not evidence to satisfy the mind of
his family, sufficient to have him put in
a vault. It is supposed by some that the
circulation of blood from his heart has not
totally ceased, but Is so feeble that life
is hard to detect. He appears to be more
in a trance than anything else. His family
say they will not bury him unless more
conclusive evidence of being dead appears.
A Famous Fisk Pond,
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 7.—The Dame mill
pond in Clinch county Is emptied every

thousand or two people from Clinch and
adjacent counties attend. The next drain
ing will be on the first Friday and Satur
day in March. The pond Is located about
nine miles south of Dupont.
A Trio for Tax Collector.
Waycross, G?.„ Feb. 7.—There are now

lector of Ware county, as follows: R. M.
Lanier, incumbent; E. H. Crawley and J.
T. Strickland. The two former live in Way
cross and the latter Is a turpentine opera

To Lower the Price of lee.

New York, Feb. B.—Riordan & Cos. say of
cotton; “Although cotton prices show no
change at the close to-day, the wi.iket
was quite active mul interesting. Liverpool
started off splendidly this morning. The
Bpot sales there were very large at l-10c
advance, and prices were two and one half
sixty-fourths higher. This report affected
our market favorably, and the opening
here was four to seven points up. The li
quidation, however, was very heavy,and in
spite of large buying for Liverpool, t nd to
cover short prices both here and ill Liver
pool, began to give way immediately after
the opening, and the undertone of the mar
ket was easy throughout the day. The
whole advance was lost. Receipts at tiie
ports were large and the semi-weekly
movement at the interior towns was veiy
heavy.Ma.v opened at 6.01 c; declined with
moderate reactions to 5.94 c, and closed at
5.95 c to 5.96 c with the tone of the mar
ket steady. The southern markets continue
to show a firm and unbroken front. Re
ports from them indicate that buyers ore
eager. Sentiment is decidedly more fni or
able to cotton, but we are not inclined to
favor purchases.”
DRY GOODS.
New York, Feb. B.—Unchanged condi
tions were the rule In the dry foods mar
ket. The usual scarcity of mall orders
characterized the day. The price tone re
mains firm, but there is no giving In on
the part of Ihe buyers, who are present in
only limited numbers. In woolens, both in
men’s wear fabrics and In dress goods, the
market is firm and fairly active. Re
orders have been frequent and of moder
ately good size. New goods have, on the
whole, been well taken up by buyers, with
prospects exceedingly bright for heavier
buying in the near future. In cotton
goods the tone of the market Is firm with
out feature of the moment In any grade.
Print cloths quiet and unchanged. Prints

staples is firm and shows more activity
