Atlanta police authorities have started
a crusade against the loafer. The move
ment was deemed necessary because a
large number of negroes from the coun
try have gone to that city recently, and
most of them are loafing around the street,
either begging or stealing. From now on
t.tjroes and white men also who are in
Atlanta and are not working, or are not
seeking work, will be taken before the
police judge for violating an ordinance
which prohibits idling and loitering on the
streets.

Orlando Correspondence: From the num
ber of jugs, demijohns, kegs and suspici

quire evident that the drought Is broken

is evident that some of the thirsty ones
get their rations with as much regularity

The mammoth new cypress mill of the
Wilson Cypress Company at Palatka was
started up Tuesday morning on full time.
While the mill is not quite completed,
everything about the machinery is in run
ning order This is probably the largest
mil! of the kind in the state, and is fur
nished with band and circular saws. Two
massive engines of 150 and 200-horse power,
respectively, and six boilers of 50-horse
power and two of 80-horse power, furnish
the power for the immense plant. When
running at Its full capacity the mill will
be capable of cutting 100,000 feet of lumber
per day.
There is a movement on foot for the
building of an electric railway from Miami
south to Cutler, on the Perrine grant,
and north from Miami as far
as Lemon City. The news was
given to the people of Miami Monday night
by Joseph A. McDonald. Such a road
as this will be of great benefit to the truck
growers south of Miami, At present their
crops are sent to Miami via schooner. It
will also prove a great developer in the
way of new settlers in the isolated region.
Among the best and most prolific lands
in Dade county are those of the Perrine
grant, and south, which will be eagerly
sought for as soon as the electric railway
is completed.
The coroner's jury impaneled at Well
born to inquire into the cause of the death
of Miss Edna Ogden on last Friday night,
brought In a verdict Tuesday morning as
follows: "We, the jury Impaneled, find
that Edna Ogden came to her death by
the hands of Arthur Williams, by first
choking her into Insensibility and then
drowning her in a lake of water; that he
is guilty of willful murder In the first
degree and that he had no alders or abet
tors, and he alone was the guilty party.
The coroner’s jury ordered Bush James
and Monroe Liggett to be released from
custody. Arthur Williams, who commit
ted the horrible deed, had been working
for Mr. Miller for four years, and he had
trusted him at any and all times.
J. N. Clinton, the hew deputy collector
of internal revenue at Tampa, took charge
Monday of all the effects of the office. Sat
urday he had secured an office in the
Hancock building, but Monday, when he
went to take charge the tenants of, the
floor served notice in a body to the effect
that if the colored man came in they
would go out. This changed things con
siderably, and necessitated the collector
going out house hunting again. He has
about located in the Citizens Bank build
ing, but an uprising may follow there
next. It has been suggested that the way
to settle the matter once and for always
is to place the man in an office at the
custom house and let him stay there. Ul
timately this may be the result of the
trouble in finding a stopping place for the
office.
President H. B. Plant’s great hotel sys
tem is not yet complete. He now Intends
to build anew summer hotel. During
his visit to Tampa last week he unfolded
his plans, which are to build a forty-room
hotel at Belleair, to be used exclusively
for summer visitors. It will be conducted
on the same style as all of the Plant ho
tels. but the prices wiil be arranged so
that a person of moderate means may
spend some lime at this summer resort.
The new house will be located on a splen
did site overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.
The building will be frame of the modern
style of architecture, and will be provid,-
ed with ail the latest conveniences. There
is no more pleasant place to spend the
summer than Belleair. The west coast
was crowded all summer Jong with people
from Tampa and other portions of the
state. Accommodations were at a pre
mium nearly all the time, and evdry ham
let that boasted of a boarding house had
visitors.
Jacksonville Times-Union: At 3 o'clock
this morning fire broke out in the midsf
of a closely built block of houses in the
lower part of town, near the cigar fac
tories. The building where it originated
was occupied by a Cuban named Sagrera,
as a restaurant. The fire burned so fierce
ly that in less than an hour the entire
block of twelve buildings was a smoking
ruin. On the northwest corner of the
block was a Iwo-story building, owned
and occupied by Membiela & Suarez as
a saloon and bar. They saved most of
their stock of liquors and bar fixtures.
Adjoining this and facing west was the
Sagrera restaurant, where the fire origin
ated. and beyond this, on the same street,
were two other houses used as dwellings.
On the north side of the block was a row
of one-story houses, in which were some
small stores, a barbershop, and a restau
rant. A large two-story building stood
on the east of the block; In the lower
store a Jew had a stock of dry goods
and notions, and the upper story was used
by Mrs. Hernandez as an apartment
house. The Jew lost his entire stock, and
Mrs' Hernandez only saved part of her
furniture. The other buildings were tene
m, nt houses, occupied by Cuban cigar
makers, who saved most of their belong
ings. In all. twelve buildings were de
stroyed. making a total loss of real estate
of about SIO,OOO. insured to about one-half
its value. How the fire originated is a
mystery, but it is supposed to be incen
diary. Last week an attempt was made
to burn the same'block: a fire was dis
covered in the rear of the borlier shop,
but was extinguished before It gained any
headway. i
SAVANNAH. GA.. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1S!)S.
OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
Jacksonville Metropolis: A. Y. Fearscn,
representing the Southern California Ost
rich Farm Company, arrived in the city
yesterday for the purpose of establishing
a branch of this novel industry in Jack
sonville. Mr. Pearson is very much pleas
ed with Jacksonville, and feels certain that
he will establish a branch here, but has
not yet selected a site for this farm. Mr.
Pearson says he wants about five acres
that would be easily accessible to tour
ists, as the farm is a great attraction to
them, the feathers being taken right from
the birds and manufactured and sold on
the spot. Mr. Pearson says he has now
on the road from California nearly one
hundred birds, which will be here by the
middle or last of this week, and he expects
to have his farm open to public inspection
by the first of next week. The main farm
in Southern California is located at South
Pasadena, and It is quite a rendezvous
for tourists.
In the .upper edge of Clarke county,
near the Jackson county line, there is a
farmer who does not allow a scarcity of
help in the cotton picking line to interfere
with the gathering of his crop. This farm
er is Mr. L. J. Vonderau, and he has
worked out for himself a very unique way
for getting the fleecy staple picked. He
tried to get a sufficient number of hands,
but could not get them. His cotton fields
were snowy white and It was absolutely
necessary to pick the cotton. So he de
termined to double up forces and pick cot
ton throughout the night. The experiment
has thus far worked out well. Every night
until the moon peeps out, he has large
fires built along the roadside, and by the
light of these fires he and his hands pick
cotton. In this way he gets out nearly a
bale each night, and the problem of the
scarcity of labor has been solved, so far
as his crop is concerned. This is a noycl
experiment and may be followed by other
farmers in this section.
It requires something more disastrous
than 4-cent cotton to slay the hopes of the
Georgia cracker. He is so built as to
be equal to any emergency which hard
times may bring, as is shown by the
latest reports from Lee county. There is
not enough money in a baie of cotton to
purchase a good-sized jag. Lee county
ites, how'ever, have another way of get
ting the jag, and they do it without vio
lating the laws of Uncle Sam. Sugar
cane is made into rum, which has all the
capacities for painting the proboscis,
painting the town and making a fellow
feel happy. The manner of making the
rum Is simple. They take the mash and
get a sour juice, and put this in the kettle
and boil It, covering ,the kettle with a
flannel cloth, which absorbs the steam;
this gives a sort of low wine, which is
put into the kettle and boiled. The blank
et is used again and catches the steam.
It is then rinsed, twisted and wrung, and
the rum is made. There is no "stii” or
"worm,"and the law is not violated. Noth
ing is said as to the taste of the liquor.

THROUGH BPAXISH GLASSES.
How the American Commissioners
Appear to the Imparcinl’s Corres
pondent.
From the Paris Herald.
Madrid.—The following amusing account
represents the American peace commis
sioners as seen through Spanish eyes. It
was telegraphed here by the Paris cor
respondent of the Imparcial:
"The presence of the North American
commission at the Hotel Continental at
tracts the attention of all their fellow trav
elers. They do not appear as a delega
tion of diplomats, but like a Cook's cara
van. There are some of all sorts; ladies
more or less young, children and even a
nurse. Then landaus are stationed all
the time In front of the hotel. The lug
gage of the delegates filled ten omni
buses.
"Davis, senator for Minnesota, and pres
ident of the commission of foreign affairs
in the Senate, enjoys a reputation in mat
ters of international law. He exercises
a great Influence in the commission, and
likewise in the Senate.
"Gray is the member for Delaware; is
a fluent otalor, a frank man, an expert
advocate. He was a great partisan of
Clevelands, Is the youngest member of
the commission and is 58 years old. He
Is one of the leaders of the Democratic
party.
"Frye, senator from Maine, has passed
a quarter of a century in the American
Congress. His politics were recently
enunciated ir. a famous speech, in which
he said that he desired that America
should possess all that was neivssjry for
the future commercial supremacy of the
Confederate republic, taking care that in
ternational laws should not thereby be
violated, and working In such a manner
that the conduct of the government and
Of the Yankee people should be justified.
“Whitelaw Reid is proprietor of one of
the American newspapers, which has done
the most harm to Strain, He has been
minister of the United States in Paris,
and is thus known in society there.
"Finally, there is the president of the
commission of pence, the former minister
of state, Mr. Day, who. unforiunately, is
too well politically known. His figure Is
that of a small man, short and thin, care
less In dress, sickly in appearance, with
sallow checks and promietu cheek bones.
“To make up the total of the caravan,
there are, besides the five plenipotentiaries
and their respective wives. Messrs. Moore.
MacArthur, Branogan, Rodriguez, Fergu
son, Sam Martin, Taylor and their re
spective wives; Messrs. Spear, Carvin,
Stark. Buck, and Mesdames Atkinson.
MacNaughton and Strolls, these latter ste
nographers.
"It is the first time that women appear,
however indirectly, in diplomatic negoti
ations. The number of the commission is
thirty-four members. Not one of them
brings a servant.”
(The sting of this appears to he in the
tail of it. The Europeans can understand
and forgive anything belter than the pref
erence of an American gentleman to but
ton his own collar and himself put on his
clothes. The European Idea appears to
be that no one can be a gentleman without
a valet.—Ed. Ledger.)
BLUE BLOOD FREELY SHED.
How the Princes of Grent Hrltnln
Serve Their Country.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Britishers are somewhat surprised at the
prominence given by some of the Ameri
can papers to the sons of well-known
wealthy men who enlisted to fight against
Spain. Accustomed as they are to the best
blood of the land being represented In the
army and navy, and the most heroic
deeds of land and sea battles being done
by scions of noble houses, it would be
more a matter of surprise if aristocratic
names were absent from the roll of the
killed than that they should be there.
"Well does Great Britain merit the sov
ereignty of the sea," said a Spanish ad
miral to an officer of her majesty's navy,
on seeing a future King of England doing
duty as a petty officer In a warship,
"when her Princes of the royal blood are
content to learn their duty in the humble
stations of her navy.”
In the younger days of the Duke of Saxe-
Coburg-Golha he served on board the
"Euryalus." When the ship touched at a
South African port some native chiefs
who came aboard wqrp surprised to see
the Duke directing the swabbing of decks.
They watched with amazement, and then,
retiring, dictated of their own accord a
sort of manifesto to the captain of the
Euryalus: "Up to this time we had not
ceased to be amazed at the wonderful
things we have witnessed, which arc be
yond our comprehension. But one thing
we understand—the reason of England's
greatness. When the son of her great
Queen becomes subject to a subject he
may learn wisdom; when the sons of Eng
land's chiefs and nobles leave the homes
and wealth of their fatners, and with
their young Prince endure hardships and
suffering in order that they may be wise
and become a defense to their country;
when we behold these things, we see why
the English are. a great and mighty na
tion. What we have now learned shall
be transmitted to our wondering country
men and handed down to our children
who will be wiser than their fathers and
your mighty Queen shall be their sover
eign and ours In all time coming '•
Englishmen recall with pride other in
stances of a similar nature. The sailor
Prince, afterward King William IV.
whose praise Britishers never tire of sing
ing, was with Rodney's squadron after
the relief of Gibraltar, when a Spanish
admiral came on board under a flag of
truce. Tbe Spanish admiral was intro
duced to I Vince William, and bowed be
fore him with all the extreme deference
that etiquette would have demanded had
the meeting taken place in fhe presence
chamber of his Cathode majesty himself.
Then the admirals began to talk on mat
ters of business, and the royal youngster
forthwith left the cabin. He came back
again a little later on, word being passed
that the visitor wished to leave, and en
tering the cabin in his capacity as mid
shipman of the watch, saluted and report
ed the barge ready alongside. The Span
iard gazed in wonder at the spectacle of a
royal prince making obeisance to an ordi
nary naval officer, and could scarcely he
convinced that he had not been the victim
of a practical Joke.
No difference is made in the British
navy between the treatment aeorded
these royal middles and that of the Itoys
of more humble origin. When the Prince
of Wales flrst announced his Intention of
sending Prince George into the navy his
royal highness said that, his son having
adopted the navy as his calling, he should
expect him, as far as possible, to take his
chances of promotion on the same footing
as his brother officers, and to gain experi
ence in the service in the ordinary way.
This procedure has been followed through
out the Duke's career.
Joining the navy In 1878. he now takes
his first command as a captain after twen
ty years' service as a naval cadet and mid
shipman on the Bacchante, then service
as a midshipman and lieutenant on the
Dreadnought and Alexandria, and later
service in command of torpedo boat No. 79.
of the gunboat Thrush and of the cruiser
Melampus.
The history of Ihe British navy Is full
of gallant deeds done by eon* of royalty.
In the two successful battles of the second
and third Dutch wars, fought off Lowes
toft on June 3, 1665, and off Solebay on
May 28, 1872, the English fleet was under
the direct command and leadership of the
Duke of York. Two grandsons of King
George 11. served in the royal navy. One
was Prince Edward, Duke of York and
Albany, King George Ill’s next Immediate
brother, and the other. Prince Henry
Frederick, Duke of Cumberland, son of
the "Butcher" of Culloden. Of these the
Duke of York saw active service with the
channel fleet in the seven years' war, be
ing present as midshipman with Lord
Howe at the capture of Cherbourg in 1758,
and in the next year with Hawke In the
iong blockade of Brest. The Duke of
York only Just missed taking part In the
historic victory of Quibcron bay by ihe
accident that his ship had to put into port
for a refit immediately before the battle
came off.

New York, Nov, 9.—Speculation In cot
ton was more active to-day. During yes
terday's holiday the Liverpool market had
advanced about 2 points, but this morn
ing's cables showed a partial reaction from
this Improvement. To conform to the Liv
erpool gains, however, our market opened
at an advance of 2 points, but immediate
ly turned easy, being unfavorably affect
ed by the colossal movement of cotton.
In the early afternoon the market began
to harden on buying by the South, supple
mented by Liverpool buying orders in good
part for covering short accounts. New
Orleans buying orders in the afternoon
were especially heavy. Local shorts be
came nervous and a sharp rally of 6 points
followed. The market hud the appear
ance of receiving considerable support
from investment buying orders, and spec
ulation at large also showed a broaden
ing tendency. The fact that a cord wave
was predicted for to-night, had less effect
on the local market than the assumption
that New Orleans parties had heavily
oversold themselves. The market was fin
ally very steady at a net advance of 4&6
point*.

New York, Nov. 9.—Hubbard Bros, A
Cos. say of cotton; "The market opened
with an improvement tr. Liverpool with
few orders, but a good undertone, which,
with a slight demand springing upon en
during the morning advanced prices about
5 points. The Interest of the trade wns
languid, but the advance appeared to be
substantial and very little cotton was of
fered for sale. The foreign outlook was
rather disquieting, but not sufficiently so
to have any effect upon prices. The mar
ket has held very steady during the ufter
noon on New Orleans buying orders, be

New York, Nov. 9.—The market was
very active, and closed decidedly irregular
during the morning session on the Stock
Exchange, and at one time the list took
on quite uniform evidence* of strength,
and even buoyancy. But at 12:30 o'clock
the demand for securities seemed satisfied,
and the market fell Into dullness and a
somewhat reactionary tendency, which
persisted to the close. Ixtndon, in sptla
of dullness and heaviness of the general
market there, had confidently marked up
prices of Americans yesterday and to
day While the New York Stock Exchange
was not In session. The British Interpre
ts! cm and understanding of the American
elections, always more or less obscure and
confused, promoted them to this. Tha
opening here did not fully respond, prices
showing below the London parity. Th
International arbitrage brokers seized this
opportunity to rover sales made at a high
er level in London. With the cessation
of the Lrndon buying about noon, and
with a renewed break In Sugar, which had
proved n heavy load to carry all the morn
ing, prices began to drop off, the decline
in the railroads ranging all the way from
a fraction to 1% per cent. The stiffening
of the call money rate In the last hour,
to 2% per cent., and for small amounts to
3 per cent., hnd Its effect In the late re
action. To-duy's active market made a
good demand for money on call. In, tha
railroad list the closing was generally
steady, and at net gains which reached
a [mint In some cases. The bond market
continued active and strong, and the 4
per cent. Issues, added to the notably act.
ivo list, were the Louisville unified bonds,
and the Kansas and Texas, St. Tjouls and
San Francisco issues. A number of the
speculative bonds, including the Atchison
adjustments, the Oregon Short Line In
come Issues and the Texas/ and Pacific
seconds, were ulso active and strong. To
tal sales were $5,715,000. U. S. new 4'a,
