from Wilsonville, where he went to bring
back to this city Will Goshe. a negro con
vict who was hired by this county to the
firm of A. T. Heach & Cos., who operate
convicts at their turpentine still in Coffee
county. Will tells a harrowing ta’.e of the
inhuman treatment that he received while
serving his sentence at this camp, and the
bruises and scars on his body bear tes
timony to th© truth of his assertions.
His back Is covered with scars caused by
Jhe cruel application of the lash, and Ills
feet are swollen from frost-bite, caused by
being compelled to work through the cold
of the past winter without his shoes. This

the Herald and several others, and It win

the county commissioners have blacklist
ed them and have refused to hire them
convicts any longer.

For s me time cast it has been known

above charge. Monday morning the fol
lowing merchants appeared in the Mun
icipal Court: William Andreu, Eugene
Masters, S. F. Bennett and Ikie Kukuskl.
It was exp ettd that the trial would be
inter.sling and that the ordinance would
be tested, but all of the defendants plead
ed guilty. Judge Foster was lenient in his
findings, inasmuch as.in three of the cases
it was fresh meats that was disposed of,
which, in a sense, is a necessity. The
judge fined the defendants the costs of
the court, about $2.80 apiece.
The cigar product shipped from Tampa
last week almost touched the two-and-a
half-million mark, showing an increase
over the week before, as well as the week
corresponding for last year. Business is
serong and firm in all grades of goods
made there, and the manufacturers re
port plenty of orders from ail sections.
The prospects to-day are rather favorable
for the settlement of the remaining labor
troubles, and when that matter is finally
disposed of ,chose who are not making
goods now will be added to the list, and
swell the business to the usual extent and
throw the records for the year still high
er over those of last year. With the week
ending Saturday afternoon the shipments
of cigars from Tampa had gone into thirty
different states. New York received ISO
eases, while ihe remaindef went Ihrough
the general distribution, covering the en
tire country. There were 487 cases ship
ped during the week, which covers 2.435,-
000 cigars. For the corresponding week of
last year there were 360 cases shipped,
which gives isat weak an increase of 727
cases over last year. For the week pre
vious of this year there were 428 cases
shipped,,leaving last week still a winner
in every way.
COL. A. T. MACINTYRE’S WILL.
Effort to llrcnk: It in the Court of
Ordinary Failed.
Thomasvitle, Ga.. June’ s.—The will of
the late Col. A. T. Maclntyre came up
before Ordinary Montgomery for probate
yesterday. Col. Maclntyre left a large
estate, mostly to his grandchildren, wuh
his wife as sole executrix, the wife hav
ing ample provision for herself in a life
Income.
W. Y. Maclntyre, one of the sons of
Col. Maclntyre, filed a caveat, through
his attorney, to the probating of the will,
alleging among other grounds, the ex
istence of another will, which would make
qutte a different disposition of the estate.
He was joined In this action by Cicero
Young, guardian for Irwin Maclntyre,
who is a son of Hugh J. Maclntyre,
deceased, and a grandson of Col. Macln
tyre; also by C. P. Hansell, as guardian
ad litem, for Henry Herbener, another
grandson of the testator. These grand
children are provided for in the will, but
their portions are not as large as their
guardians think they would be if the will
was broken.
It appears to have been the object of
the testator to make the shares of the
grandchildren about equal, which would
not be the case if they inherited through
their parents. The ordinary decided that
there was no proof of another will, and
that the objections to admitting the will
to probate were not sufficient, and so he
ruled against the caveaters, who have
given notice of an appeal to the Superior
Court.
Another son, D. I. Maclntyre, M. R.
Mallette, guardian ad litem, for the chil
dren of A. T. Maclntyre, Jr., deceased,
and the wife of the testator, it ts under
stood, wish the will to stand.

TWO STORIES ABOUT OWLS.
The Birds Can Make Themselves
Very Unpleasant Companions.
Prom the Portland (Me.) Express.
They say all sorts of mean things obout
owls. If a man hasn’t much reqpect for
your gray matter or intelligence in gener
al he will say you are as stupid as An
owl. On the other hand, if you are bril
liant and he likes you, it would t e just
like him to say you were as wise us an
qwfl. And there you are. To come right
down to the subject, an owl-is notify any
manner of means the stupid bird many
people believe him to be.
Mr. John A. Lord, a taxidermist of this
city,/relates a story about how he had
once gone out to look at some traps he
had set for rabbits. When he reached Us
traps he found that a rabbit had been
caught, but something had carried it off
and left no trace of Its Identity behind it.
That night Mr. Lord took two or three
traps and baited them about where the
game had beer, stolen the night' before.
A rabbit soon got ensnared, and Mr. Lord
I>rooeeded to watch it from a near-by cov
er. For a long time everything was quter,
except for the frightened rugs and Jumps
the imprisoned rabbit made to get tree.
Suddenly there was a whir of wings, and
like a flash of lightning a great h rne 1
owl pounced out of the gloom down on lo
the struggling victim. He killed the rabbit
instantly and began to eat It.
In his movements he got one foot In'o
another trap and found that he in turn
was a prisoner. He thrashed around for
some time, when Mr., Lord and a friend
went to his release. The friend did not
know the peculiarities of the great homed
owl so well as Mr. Lord did, or he never
would have attempted to lift the bird by
his well foot! The owl wasn’t feeling par
ticularly amiable and made one of Its fa
mous passes at the man, fastening its pow
erful claws In the fleshy part or his right
hand.
There was a very animated scene for a
few moments, and about all that could be
seen was a bunch of man and owl rolling
about th ■ ground.' When the rombatants
were brought to their feet again by Mr.
Lord the owl refused to break clean and
his claws remained firmly Imbedded in
the flesh. The owl had to be killed and
the tendoOs in the logout b fore the cruel
claws copld be opened and withdrawn
from the man's hand. He leaFnc-d some
thing about owls, however.
Mr. Lord r lates how he once saw fully
fifty crows after a great horned owl. They
made it so hot for him that he dropped
to the ground, where they began,to dart
about bm. The owl meieiy hunched hlm
se f up into a defensive position and let
them play their game. He kept so still
that they became bolder and finally one
caino rear. Like a flish that “irresistible
right" shot out and fast ned on Mr.
Crow.'Thera was die drl ful squawk and
It was alt over. The owl then dellberate
1,- pulled the dead crow apart and ate It
1,1 Jo e th' scr aching flock that was
watching him. It s safe to say that they
did not come near enough to bother him
after that
Right hr- It might be well to Date a
little st met Hilt* about the manner In
which an owl strik s Its pr. y. If you ever
noticed whin owls pounce down on their
victims they usually slreich their legs
out In front of them. They strike In with
their sharp claws, throwing their bodies
Toward and literally sitting down on the
unfortunate o’ jtet upen which they have
fastened. This gives them a leverage and
1< cks the scarp c aws together in the
flesh of the victim a firmly that it Is lm
pos-dhle for them to let g> again until
(h*.y hav‘ strei h'emd out their legs.
'They can g ncraliy put their claws
.through any flesh they pounce upon,

graphic Markets.
Morning News Office, June s.—There was
another sharp decline in New' York cot
ton futures to-day, which carried prievs
off 11 and 18 points. The drop was at
tributed mainly to the liquidation of some
large August accounts, when the market
was at best displaying considerable weak
ness. Southern spoc markets were weak.
The feature of local interest was the
decline in the turpentine market, which
went off >jc, the closing being firm at
4Gc. The demand was fairly brisk, and
there was considerable trading through
out the day. It is not the current belief
that the botton has yet been struck, and
further declines will nor be surprising to
the conservative element of the trade.
The local cotton market went off 14c on
all grades, with the closing nominal, and
no transactions reported. The minor mar
kets were in the main unchanged. The
following resume of the different mar
kets will show the tone and quotations
at the closing to-day:

The local market declined! %c to-day,

which went off 12 to 18 points. The slump
was clue to the bearish conditions exist
ing in many sections of the belt, where
rhin was reported, ond also other condi
tions, which tended to lower prices. The
local receipts were 20 bales, against 3,-

POTTON FI Tl BUS.
New York, June s.—Not since the fail
ure of a prominent Wall street house,
nearly two weeks ngo, has the cot on mar
ket shown weakness equal to that ex
hibited to-day. But while prices dropped
off almost perpendicularly, there was not
the first symptom of excitement, nor was
bear specula lion at any lime prominent.
The depression resulted largely from
liquidation of several Important accounts,
chiefly In the August delivery, which
option displayed relative weakness
throughout the session. Opening events
favored the bulLcrowd, and on h flurry
of general buying prices went up 5010
points. This support grew out of a bet
ter class of English news 'han expected,
and reports that rains had again fnllen
over a greater portion of the hell. The
firmness was short-lived, however, as Liv
erpool rapidly lost Its opening Improve
ments, ns fore’gn orders ehnnged over to
the bear side as local demand was sup
planted by felling pressure. A sl'ght net
decline had been recorded before the close
of the first hour, and by noon the loss

while at the weakest tnurvnl of the af

C OTTON I.UTTERS.
'New York, June s.—Hubbard Bros &
Cos. say: Liverpool responded quickly to
our improvement of yesterday, but at the
same time the weather indications were
clearing weather in Texas. This last was
the stronger factor, and our market felt
the pressure to sell new crops for South
ern account at the opening. Ltveriiool
bought these offerings on arbitrage, an
operation which brought weaker feeling
abroad. Outside operators were free sell
ers instead of following the foreign ad
vices, and our market slowly receded. The
absence of support of the publication of
the weather predictions was a feature
illustrative of the close watch now kepi
on weather conditions. This factor will
evidently now control prices.
New York, June 5 —Murphy & Cos. say:
Cotton in Liverpool advanced 54!2d on
spots, middling, sd; sales 7,000 bales. Fu
tures opened 4 to 5 points higher, but
closed only two up on old, and about one
on new crops. The early Liverpool ad
vices were much better than expected, but
owing to local selling our market opened
only 2 to 5 points above yesterday, and
ruled easy during the morning session on
rather general selling. Some improve
ment In weather conditions is reported to
day. * The early afternoon market con
tinued easy on Southern, selling.
The government weekly crop reptyi
pa y h: Over central and eastern portions
of the cotton belt, there has been a gen
eral improvement in cotton, although slow
growth reported in Georgia and South
Carolina, where rains are needed. In
Texas, as planting Is not -yet completed,
crop is suffering from excessive rains,
much in need of cultivation and damaged
by insects.

STOCKS AND ISON OS.
New York. June s.—The stock market
showed symptoms ‘of strength at various
times to-day, but the pressure to sell at
the advance proved too much for the lim
ited demand to absorb, and the latter part
of the day was given over to a desultory
downward movement, which carried
prices below lust night’s level, except for
a few stocks.
The sirength of n few shares was In
fact the principal sustaining Influence of
the market at all times. The best sup
port of this charneior came from Atchi
son preferred, which began to move up
ward early in the day. In anticipation of
the dividend announcement. The declar
ation of 218 per cent, for the semi-annual
period, had been accurately forecasted,
and the advance In the sto-k came to a
standstill when the dividend was an
nounced. After hanging sluggishly for
a time, the advance was resumed on the
giving out of the directors’ estimates of
the net earnings for the fiscal year, show
ing a handome surplus over the full 5
per cent, dividend requirement for tho
preferred stock. Atchison preferred
thtreupon rose to 74%. which Is on a level
with the high record price made 4wo
months ago.
A number of other railroad stocks whose
prospects of dividends or Increased divi
dends have been much exploited, but not
yet realized, showed the greatest sym
pathy with Atchison. Hal’lmore and
Ohio, Union I’aclflc and Missouri Pa
cific were the principal Instances. The
response elsewhere was moderate. Owing
to the heavy outlay for betterment made
after the reorganization of the Atchison
system, that railroad is able lo show
large reductions at this lime In operating
0 penies, and is almost alone among he
railroads of tlio country In that respect.
The other Incident of the day to attract
most attention was the sugar dividend,
which was maintained at the rami' rate
of l'/j p>r cent, ns the last. The move
ment of this siook showed that the recent
buying has been based on accurate fore
know edge of this result.
The selling lo take speculative profits
met so slight a demand that the price
fell away weakly, and had a decidedly de
pressing effect on the wholft market. The
rise of % at Ihe opening was followed by
a decline of 3% on profit-taking, and the
rally was only ferb'e. Aside from tho
syt •pathetic Influences of these move
ments, ihe mnrlcot was dull anil apathetic
throughout. There was a general hut
slight advance at the opening. In expec
tation of the f ivcrable effect upon for
eign markets of the occupation of Pre
toria. This exnectmlon proved delusivo,
end the markets at London Paris and
Berlin all turned heavy b'foro the elo e.
Itejc’clng over the nws win ofTeiei) as
an explanation of I sort don’s failure to
spend time In buying stocks, and Ber
lin market was effected by weakness of
troll mining shares on tho condition of
the Iron trad In the United Hiates. Ad
vices from Paris ndmlt a feeling of ap
pn htrMon over the unsatisfactory con !1-
tlons In China and the International com
plications that muy follow the 1 rid of the
Hot r war. Fears of demoralisation in
freight rates were an Influence In 1 ma
in a tlte relapse In prices) here. The tfioa
i Ins was dull and distinctly heavy.
PAGES 9 TO 10.
There w at a large demand for Western
New York and Pennsylvania general
mortgage three-quarters, but the maxi
mum advance was not maintained. Other
wise, the bond market was dull and slug
gtsh. Total sales, par value. $1,345,000.
United States bonds were unchanged In
bi.l quotations.
