FOUND A DYING MAN ”
UNDER VACANT ROUSE
COLUMBUS, Ga., • Nov, 4.—One of the
most brutal cases of murder in the his
tory of Columbus was dlscoverd by the
police early yesterday morning at 410
Seventh street. . - -

blood were seen in front of a house and
the officers went in to investigate. In- the
house they f«un<J nqtjiing, but under it
packed away up in an almost isolated
place they-found the' body as * white-man
in an unconscious .state and almost dead.
His head was beaten almost Into a jelly.
Hia face was beat and knocked up almost
beyond recognition. From the nature of
the wounds it would seem that the weap
on used was a brick or some hard Instru
ment that had done its work well. Wh(-n
the officers had pulled him out they rec
ognised the victim to be R. A. Owens,
a well-known painter, who lived in the

medical attention given him, but he died
at 12:30 thia morning.
Just who Owens’ assailants are is the

TRADE WITH CUBA
TO TM CONGRESS
■’ - ’
SUGAR GROWING INTERESTS TO
BE LIVELY ISSUE WHEN CON-
GRESS CONVENES.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—The question
as to what tariff arrangements will be
made between the United States and Cu
ba at the next congress is a live topic
in tlft-sugar-growing states of this coun
try and also in Europe. "While the agita
tion for free trade with Cuba is by no
means In any immediate hope of consum
mation. foreign countries that export ar
ticles of commerce to the United States
fear that there is such a friendly feeling
between the United States and Cuba that
their products will suffer because of con
cessions granted to the Cubans. It would
be natural to suppose that the United
States would be more conciliatory to Cu
ba in the matter of tariffs than to any
other ewMfy on account of the friendly
relations that have existed. While the
fear of European nations in this respect
appears not entirely well founded, dtill
the prospect of tariff modltications between
Cdba and the United States indicates that
they have some ground for apprehension.
The American consul general at Berlin,
Frank H. Mason, has sent to the state
department a report on what he terms
the impending crisis in European sugar.
He says tha| it is generally recognised
that the beet sugar industry of Central
Europe is approaching a critical con
juncture. Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Ffhnce and Russia are now gathering a
beet crop . .which will yield an output of
sugar far surpassing in quantity that of
any previous year. This overwhelming
production, he says, comes unfortunately
for Germany at a time wnen Industrial
depression and a short wheat and rye
crop jjave seriously reducted the purchas
ing capacity of the poorer classes, so that
a high commercial authority eetimatee
the decline in sugar consumption in Ger
many alone during the fiscal year 1901-02
at 75.000 tons. To complete and still furth
er darken the shadow, Cuba has reap
peared as a vigorous and threatening
competitor in the United States, which
during the past four yean, has taken an
average of 283,000 metric tons of German
sugar valued roughly at 812,614,000 per an
num. * -i
Under these. conditions the price of
sugar has fallen in the controlling market
at Madgehurg to the lowest point reached
during the critical year 1894-96, from
which it was rescued by an advance in
the export duty and a constantly increas
ing home consumption of sugar, which
was then favored by prosperous indus
tries pnd growing export trade, which
steadily augmented the comfort and pur
chasing power of a large percentage of
the Germkn people. Now, however, it is
geheratiy recognized that ths only reme
dy tn Germany will be tn the direction
of diminishing production, gnd the chief
organ of- the German sugar industry de
clares”that a definite and important re
striction of the beet sugar area to be
planted next spring has become an un
avoidable necessity.
Fdr these obvious reasons, says the con
sul. great interest has been awakened
throughout Germany by the recent visit
to Washington of the governor-general
of Cuba, and the conviction is growing
that, notwithstanding ail doubts and sus
picions, Cuba )a- really- about to begin
the career of ah Independent state under
the generous and sympathetic protection
of the United States and under conditions
that will favor the development of the
stfgar industry of the island to a point
above the highest productiveness of fOr
, liter yedrt. The obviotis and sustained
; friendliness of the United States govern
ment, he says, to Cuba, the impending in
crease of sugar production in Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, added to the
steady arid rapid development of the beet'
sugar industry throughout a large area ot
the United States, all point to an inevit
able and deflnite decline in European ex
ports to our country, and confirm the
judgment of those who foresee the only
effective remedy for ruinously low prices
■will be a systematic reduction of beet
arek and product.

HILI PUB
FARE TWICE
HE ASKED FOR A TICKET TO
LULA AND GOT ONE TO
NEWNAN.
Hon. Joe Hill Hill, member of the hoUM
of representatives, had to pay double rail
road fare on the Southern railroad Mon
day night.
Mr. Hall was en route to Cleveland,
In White county, where he made a speech
yesterday In advocacy, it is said, of Hon.
Dupont Guerry for governor. When the
conductor came through the train for
tickets Mr. Hall did not draw forth a pass,
as do some members of the general assem
bly, but drew from his vest pocket a
small piece of pasteboard which had
printed on it:
“Atlanta to Newnan, Atlanta and West-
Point Railway Company. Good for one
first-class passage." Mr. Hall was on th®
Southern. 1
The conductor, so the story goes, looked
at the ticket and then at Mr. Hail. He
wore an astonished look. Mr. Hall was
paying no attention to the conductor and
was gasing out of the window as the
train dashed on at a lively clip. The con
ductor touched Mr. Hall on the arm. Pgr* r
haps he recognised the statesman from
Bibb. Anyway, he is said to have asked
Mr. Hall where he was -going. The anti*
railroad man replied, that he was under the
impression the ticket would give the con
ductor that information. The conductor
said to Mr. Hall that Newnan was -not
on the line of the Southern. Mr. Hall said
he was well acquainted with that faot,
The ticket taker then requested Mr. Hall
to be so kind as to relate to him how he
expected to travel on the Southern with a
ticket to Newnan, and at the same time
showed Mr. Hall the ticket. Mr. Hall was
at a loss as to what to do. In fact‘he
asked the conductor what to do. The con
ductor said he roust pay his fare. Mr.
Hall paid to Cornelia.
Some of Mr. Hairs friends have been
laughing over the incident, which wall
first related by-a senator who was on the
train. The representative, however, says
that he fails to see anything amusing Ln it*
