The mines are in Douglas county, Georgia, about thirty five miles from Atlanta, and are being equipped with the very best machinery to work th m. This machinery has been purchased at a tost of many thousand do.lars, and wil soon b in full operation.

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. Col. A.

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, COTTON FUTURES OFF AGAIN. • DROP DIE TO LIQUIDATION OF LOKG COTTON. Southern Spot Market* Clone Weak. Savannah Nominal at n Decline nt tent—Turpentine OIT \ 2 Cent, Closing; I-'lrni nt -KS— Ilo*iuJt Firm mid I nchanjccd—-Local mid Tele 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: COTTON. The local market declined! %c to-day, closing nominal. All interest was direct ed to the declines in New York futures, 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,- 903 same day last year. The receipts for the season have been 1.059.726, against 1.- 065,722 last year.

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.

'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. NAVAL STORES. Tuesday, June 5. Spirits Turpentine—The turpentine mar ket closed firm at 46 cents to-day, a de cline of (4 cent below Saturday’s closing.

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. To a' sales of stocks to-day were 273,300 shares.
