Albany Herald: A rather curious freak
of nature came to the grocery- establish
ment of Hilstnan & Fleming recently in
a shipment of chickens. It was a chicken,
to be sure, but It was a very unusual
chicken. This particular fowl has four
well developed feet and legs, something
that is unusual in the chicken family. The
chicken has twe ordinary feet and legs
like any other chicken, and immediately
behind these two other legs have grown.
The two extra legs are not used bv the
fowl in walking and merely hang down,
as though the chicken had no control of
them, whatsoever.
Representative Fasterlin of Macon coun
ty Is preparing for introduction in the Leg
islature a bill seeking to revise the. va
grancy laws of the state and making it the
duty of every justice of the peace to arrest
all suspicious characters found loitering
in the neighborhood. The suggestion was
male to the Macon representative by one
of his leading constituents, who holds
the idea that such a law will have more
effect in lessening crime than anything
else that can be done. With such a revis
ion of the law, it is the opinion of the
.Macon county citizen that lynching and
peuy crimes like theft will be done away
w;th and hundreds of idle negroes will be
compelled to go to work. The idea comes
from a farmer who believes it will do the
farming element more good than all the
laws passed in the last ten years.
About four weeks ago someone fired a
pn containing nearly 2,000 pounds of lint
cotion on Mrs. Dawson’s place, near Cash,
a town near Calhoun. The following day
an investigation was made of the remain
ing parts of the pen and it was the opin
ion of the people present that the cotton
had been removed prior to the burning,
hut as t 0 who the guilty party was re
mained a mystery until last Thursday,
when a warrant was taken out for Felton
A deox, a young man living on the Rav
place, adjoining that of Mrs. Dawson. If
It h id not been for the young man com
mitting a second crime It is probable that
he would have escaped detection. It is
charged ihat after removing the cotton
from the pen he burned the pen so as to
create the impression that the cotton had
been consumed in the flames. He then
took the cotton to Ferguson’s gin and had
it haled, after which he took It to Car
tersvllle and sold it.
Southeast of Calhoun, in the mountains,
some mischievous boys, a few days ago,
wound some cotton rags into a bail, sat
urated the same with coal oil, then tied
It to a dog’s tail, after setting it on fire,
ur course, the dog moved, with a stream
or hre. Everything is dry now, especial
ly tne woods, as we have had no rain in
s- tri" time. The dog pulled out through
;. ' voo< ' 3 'lke a fiery meteor, dropping
nfe from the burning ball. He set the
woods in a blaze for two miles. There
",' ls a small party of mountain folks
shucking corn outside of the crib when
V 0 , a sudden the dog plunged through
~, p u of chucks, yelping as if he had

were soon ablaze, with the amazed folks
' nine fire to save their crib. Poor

Saturday last was ono of the busiest
days Orlando has seen since the old days
when the orange industry was at Its hight
and was putting thousands of dollars into
the pockets of the peop’o. The streets
were crowded with teams throughout the
day and well into the shades of night.
The sidewalks were thronged, and every
body seemed to be out. But inside the
business houses merchants and clerks w re
as busy as bees, and all report a day of
lively trade and big sales.
Capt. Charles If. McKinstry, In charge of
the United States Engineer Corps of the
St. Augustine district, has ordered a to
pographical survey made of St. John’s
Bluff, preparatory to future woik. A
party of engineers and surveyors It ft S'.
Augustine yesterday for May port to com
plete the survey as soon, as possible. The
party, which will probably be occupied at
the survey about three week*, includes
Engineer F. W. Bruee, C. H. Sperrv, J Y
Wilson, G. M. Brown, C. E. Kettle and
others.
The pleasant news comes from Orange
county, through the Orlando Sentinel, that
the spirit of improvement is apparent in
that county, and many who were disheart
ened after the successive disasters to the
orange industry are now rousing up to tile
universal revival in the country, and are
again at work with a determination which
will surely result in success. Neglected
fields are being cullivated, more attention
is being given to diversified farming; peo
ple are living more generally upon what
they produce at home and less out of tin
cans and paper bags.
Orlando Star: The Florida commissioner
at the Omaha Exposition is in several
pecks of trouble and it happened in this
wav: Polk county sent up a carload ex
hibit of her productive resources. Mr.
Pfeifer had arranged with the. exposition
managers to pay the freight on the same,
and it was so understood by the railroad.
The exhibits were unloaded, and the rail
road, not being paid as agreed, attached
them. To save them from being sold for
freight, Mr. Pfeifer paid the bill, $355.70,
himself. This happened a few days before
the exposition closed. Now Mr. Pfeifer is
appealing to Polk county to reimburse
him.
Ex-Mayor Pat McHugh of Pensacola,
against whom several charges were pend

in office in 1897, and who returned home
a few days ago and gave bond, appeared
before the court Monday morning and
pleaded guilty. In one case for malicious
ly threatening to accuse, he was sentenced
to pay a fine of SSOO, but this sentence was
suspended. On the charge of conspiracy
he was sentenced to one year in the coun
ty jail or to pay a fine of SSOO and costs.
The third case was nol pressed. Two
cases against ex-City Marshal Ed Wallace,
who is now serving out a sentence of one
year in the county jail, were also nol
prossed.
The street railway strike is still In full
force at Tampa. The boycott of the road

the company is still on, and its effects are
to be seen. Circulars were issued Satur
day calling attention to the fact that no
workman was supposed to ride in the ca-s.
nor was he supposed to trade
with a merchant who rode in
them. It also called attention to
the fact that no union person should
trade with a merchant who uses the elec
tric lights of the company. It is u- der
stood that if a workman does not follow
these instructions he will soon find him
self without work. Of course there Is
no threat, but still this is so well under
stood that none of them care to go against
the orders.

Telegraphic Markets.
Savannah, Nov. 14.—The encouraging
tendency of business to-day, with the lead
ing markets marked up, was the reverse
of the geneial tone at Monday's closing.
Cotton went up 1-16 cent, spirits turpentine
took on an additional 14 cent, an 1 some me
diums and ali the low grades of rosin ad
vanced 5 cents Business was brisk at the
advance, and with but few exceptions, the
activity pointed to fit men conditions, which
will doubtless have the effect of holding
the mmket up. While there was a fairly
good demand at the opening, the impres
sion after the closing was that spirits was
not strong at the quotations, 4914 cents, be
cause of [he indifference of buyers. At the
advance rosin was in good demand, how
ever, and any change will in ad probabil
ity be an improvement. Pales are not be
ing received in any considerable quanti
ties, but they are in demand n Virthefess,
and will sell readily at quotations. For
the grades marked up to-day some factors
are being offered an advance on the clos
ing quotations. The wholesale market was
steady. Business is taking on more life
by reason of the receipt of the new crops
of fiuits and other thii gs ustiiliy ban. 4 and
about this time. Produce was Aim, and a
good demand for ail lines. The following
resume of the different mirltet will show
the tone and quotations at the close to
day:

COTTON MADE BILL PROGRESS,
Government Statistician Estimates
Crop at 0,000,000 Hales.
New York. Nov. 14.—The cotton market
made considerable bull progress to-day on
general buying, which was based on a
change in the character of news on the
acreage. The opening was 1 (o 5 points
lower, and within the first few minutes
prices lost an additional point or more
under spasmodic selling by the foreign el
ement, and much weaker cables from (he
English market than had calculated
upon as a fair response to our decline of
yesterday.
li soon became very evident that llqui
dation here had run ila course, and the
bulls aggressively attacked the position of
shorts. Prominent Wall street commission
houses soon came to the assistance of the
longs, and before the lirst hour had elaps
ed sentiment in ull directions showed a
pronounced bullish leaning. Liverpool and
the -South, as well as Philadelphia and
New York, exporters, were active buyers
on the up-turn. The market showed great
recuperative power, and not only was the
early loss wiped out, but a net rise of l‘Z
©■ls points was established.
Speculation reached largo proportions.
Shortly after midday It was rumored that
the government had reduced its crop es
timate to 9,000,000 bales. Following close
upon this report came official estimates
for comparatively light receipts to-mor
row. The market responded by advancing
to top notch for the session, and showed
considerable strength from then to the
close.
The Liverpool market firmed up and
closed, showing very little net loss. Late
in the day the Cotton Exchange telegraph
ed to Washington for information as to
the reliability of the rumor in circulation
regarding the government crop estimate.
A lengthy reply was received in which the
official statistician estimated tlie total
yield at not over 9,000,000 bales.
The market closed very steady, with
prices net 10 to 15 points up on present
crop, and 6 points up on next crop months.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York. Nov. 14.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say of cotton to-day: After the enor
mous transactions of yesterday the market
displayed great nervousness to-day. Open
ing easy under the liquidation of cotton
carried over form the closing, it slowly
rallied, becoming active at a substantial
advance on a rumor that the government
hail reduced its crop estimate to 9,000,000
bales. Business was on a quieter scale
than for the last few days, but the under
tone was belter than at any time yester
day. On the advance* tiKMMffwho took the
cotton on the decline were quiet sellers,
supplying the demand. It is to be expected
that the market will be an exceedingly
nervous one for some time, until the trale
reach a definite conclusion as to whether
this decline was only a reaction or whether
the large buying by spinners l|st week at
the top marked the culmination of the ad
vance.
The statement of the agricultural deport
ment published in the press will undoubt
edly be read as pointing towards a crop
of 9,000,000 bales. This report was given
to the press before being sent to the trade,
contrary to custom, but when finally re
ceived, caused a firm closing, with a high
er market expected to-morrow.
New* York, Nov. 14.—Murphy & Co.’s
cotton lettei says: Advices from Liver
pool before the market opened showed a
decline of 1-16 on spots and futures, which
was rather letter than expected by locals,
but this market opened easb-r and feverish
about 4 points lower on selling orders for
out-of-town account. At the decline, how
ever. large orders to buy caused a sharp
recovery and the unexpected strength led
to further buying. Liverpool recovered
about one-half of the decline, and closed
only 1 to 2-64il below yesterday’® price®.
English speculators sent orders to buy
spring months, this and other rumors that
the Agricultural Bureau may a sup
plementary rej>ort, reducing crop indica
tions to 9,000,000 hales on account of killing
frost this month, stimulated speculative
buying. Southern interior holders of cot
ton are not pressing sales, and though
the receipts are Increasing somewhat, the
movement is not larger than expected, <n
fact, the semi-weekly snows only a small
decline of about 30 points, which has re
flected an important liquidation of specu
lative holdings, hence was considered a
healthy feature.
I)!l\ GOODS.
New York, Nov. 14.—There were
further advances in bleached cottons
to-day. Demand at top prices so far in
different, but goods for ticks not yet
changed in price. Brown sheetings and
drills strong, but not quotably higher. Fine
gray goods tending upward, squares
sold 4V 2 c up to end of April. Thirty-nine
inch, 68 by 72, at 476 c contracts. Print
cloths idle. Good demand for new spring
prints, hut new prices not quoted yet.
Ginghams scarce and strong. Men’s wear
woolens and worsteds quiet. With prices
firm.
IVAVAL STORES.
Spirits Turpentine—There was an ad
vance of V 2 cent at the close to-day,
though it was not generally considered
that the situation was strong at this fig
ure. Business lagged after the closing,
and the chances are factors mty yield
before any considerable business is done.
The fact the receipts are moderate may
have the effect of holding the price u/>,
however, and possibly maintain the up
ward tendency, which did not until to-day

were 1,577 casks, the sales 618 casks, and
the exports casks.
Ho si rv— Mediums and lows are corping to
the front. Business was brisk by reason
of a strong demand, which carried the
market upward. At the opening grades K
and D and below went up 5 cents, and at
the closing I went up 5. Factors have rec
ognized for some time that the demand
for low and medium grades would soon
carry prices up, and the present tendency
is only fulfilling expectations. Pales are
wanted, hut receipts are very light. It is
understood that they are not to be had,
as present prices is enough to bring them
to the market if producers had stock. The
receipts were 4,W0 barrels, the sales 2.879
barrels, and the exports 5,648 barrels. The

are almost all fractions and the majority
on the side of losses. Money market pros
pects continued the dominant Influence In
the trading. The events of yesterday had
turned nearly all the traders on the floor
to the bull side, and the market opened
with an upward movement of prices, which
extended to a large fraction on the aver
age before a reactionary tendency devel
oped. Continued buying by London help-d
on the advance and there was specltl
strength In a number of individual no ks.

of (ho heavy absorption of Southern Pa
cific, which gave a heailhy tone (o the
railroad list. Profit-taking sates in this
stock were detected at an early period of
the trading and had not u little to do with
checking tiic general upward tendency.
The decisive Influence in turning prio s
downwards was the realization tlint yes
terday's easing of the money rate was due
to a sporadic supply of funds and rot to
any radical change in the condition of the
money market. A large imrUon of the
funds loaned yesterday were attributed to
n cash deposit by one of Ihe railroads for
the purpose of taking up an old underlying
Issue of bonds. This supply of money had
the effect of offsetting (he calling of loans
for the banks, made necessary by the de
pletion of reserves, and prevented the
stringency of the money market which had
been feared. The effect was manifest to
day as well ns yesterday, though the call
money not going over 7 per c< nt. and ru -
ing generally below that. Sterling ex
change rate showed a quick response to
this easing of the local money rate and
moved an additional fraction, upwards
away from the gold Import |>olnt.
This caused a cessation of the talk of
Immediate gold imports, on which was bas
ed the upward movement of yesterday In
slocks. This hope or relief by an in
ward movement of gold had lo be aban
doned for the time. Meantime the ab
sorption of funds hy the sub-treasury and
itie probable continuance of demands from
the interior have still to be reckoned with.
Discouragement overcame the operators
for a rise and they proceeded (o sell out
their holdings, wiping out the earlier gains
and carrying prices below last night’s level.
Considerable speculative activity Is (li
veried lo the notion market, where the de
velopment of a foreign demand Indicate*
the relinquishment by foreign buyers of
their attitude of waiting for lower prices.
As bearing on the general money situa
tion It ts important to note that advices
from the South report money in abundant
supply there, so that planters have been
able to obtain accommodations for holding
tholr cotton for higher prices. 'Hie large
ly increased supply of cotton bills In the
exchange market in the last few days with
the movement In cotton will naturally re
sult In the early release of funds in Ihe
South and hasten the return flow of money
from that region.
