FRUITCBOP INJURED SI COLD FRUIT IN NORTH GEORGIA WAS IN BUD AND COLD WEATHER MAY RUIN THE CROP. ROME. Ga.. March 11—Tha fruit crop In thia section la probably seriously In jured by the freew of last night. The thermometer registered IS early thia morn ing and Ice ia in abundance. Experienced fruit men state that the trees were in bud end they cannot tell what the results are. Peach orchard owners are somewhat dis couraged over the prospects thio morning. Fruit Crop ia in Jeopardy. ADAIRSVILLE. Ga.. March IS.-The un usual fall of 59 degrees in 36 hours has jeopardised the peach crop of our section. Hundreds of thousands of trees are juat beginning to show the red of the bloom A good many anxious growers will watch the results of the blizzard tonight. The temperature by the government instru ments here this morning was » degrees with the wind still blowing from the northwest. The growers differ as to the amount of injury already done. A con servative estimate is 39 per cent of the buds hare been killed. If the crop escapes without further injury this loss will not be felt as the trees are abundantly loaded with fruit buds. x Fruit Crop Has Been Injured. Georgia's fruit crop has been injured by the cold weather which prevailed Monday and Tuesday nights. To what ex tent the crop has been injured is not yet known, and it will be several days before the damage can be estimated. It is gen erally believed, however, that consid erable damage has been done, as many of the trees had budded out and were just »V>dy to bloom and many of them had al ready bloomed. While but few reports have been re ceived at the department of agriculture. Commissioner O. B. Stevens is of the opinion that the trees have been danAged to a large extent, especially in north Georgia. Speaking of the probable damage Mr. Stevens said: •’We have received but few reports from throughout the state but I fear great damage has been done. The trees that had already bloomed will not suffer as much as the ones which were just bud ding. I am fearful of the result in North Georgia as the weather was even colder there than it was here. Owing to the warm weather which had preceded the sudden change in the temperature many of the trees had budded out considerably around Atlanta and tn north Georgia, and I think that these have been badly dam aged. The trees that were already in bloom will not be injured to any great extent as they were better prepared for cold weather than the ones which were just budding out. We are hoping, however, that the damage will not be as great as expected." Fruit Crop is Uninjured by Cold Snap GRIFFIN. Ga.. March 19.—The ther mometers tn this section got their winter haAHeeu yvetejday morning and the mer cury stood at 22 degrees above up to 8 o'clock. The opinion prevails among fru't men that no damage was done the fruit crop, as it was not sufficiently advanced to be injured The warm weather of the past few days caused some trees to bud. but tbs germ was protected by blossoms and escaped any serious damage. It is believ ed that the freeze will guarantee a bounti ful harvest of fruit, as ft will keep the sap back until all danger of frost is over. The indications for a large crop are good up to the present time. “GO TOTHESTOCKADE, ANDTHEN BE A MAN.” "Even a beast of the field takes care of its young," said Recorder Broyles in police court yesterday to J. C. Clower. charged with failing to provide for his wife and children. "A wild hyena would not desert its off spring. Take the man back." Clower was given thirty days in the city stockade without the privilege of pay ing a fine. Last week Mrs. Clower, the man's wife was taken to the Presbyterian hospital, where she and her little three weeks-old baby are being cared for. Five other children were sent to the Home for the Friendless. The condition of the wife had been brought to the attention of Po lice Chief Ball by a letter, officers Gloer and Hollis, who were sent to investigate the case, found no food at all in the house. The mother was very ill. Arrangements were made and the moth er and baby taken .to the hospital. The other five children, the oldest only thir teen. were taken to police headquarters and committed by the recorder to the home. As Judge Broyles looked at ’he In nocent faces of the little ones before him. he Instructed the officers to find the fath er and bring him into court. Since then the officers have diligently searched for the man. but did not catch him until Tuesday aiternoon. Arraigned before the recorder yesterday. Clower stated he had a hare time. He said he did not make much and had tried to provide for the wife and children. There was evidence that the man had been drinking heavily even while his wife was sick. He insisted. .owever. that he had done the best be could. He was not even at home when his wife ’.ras taken to the hospital or when the children were carried to the home. Tuesday morning be again started to work at Lieberman's trunk factory. 92 Whitehall street, and there the officers found him. A ticket for $4.25. due by the factory, w- found on him. This the judge made him turn over to officers to be given to bis wife. The man pleaded for some thing to buy tobacco with and a quarter was allowed him. **Tou ought to be ashamed to look any one In the face.” the recorder told the prisoner “Now. go out to the stockade and work and when you get out, try and live like a man." RACE MEEffALKED OF FOR GREENSBORO GREENSBORO. N. C-, March 19.-A plan for holding the biggest agricultural fair and race meet in the history of North Carolina is under consideration by the management of the fair associations of Greensboro.

March 18.—The recent heavy rains’that have fallen in Mlssisaip pl. has greatly damaged the truck crops of this state, and if there is not a cessa tion of the continued downpour the out look will be very bad. The regular farm work is very backward and tn many fields not a furrow has been run. TO BUILD LINE FROM GEORGIA TO CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES. March 18.-Presldent B F. Yoakum, of the St. Louis & San Fran cisco railroad company, who Is at present in Los Angeles, has strongly intimated that his company will build to the Pacific coast with San Francisco as the ultimate terminus. President Yoakum recently completed a tour of Southern Arixona. where It Is said, he looked over the field with the views of selecting the most in viting route for hfs road. He acknow ledged that the St. Louis & San Francisco now has surveyors at work east of Albu querque, N. M., with the idea of extend ing the Oklahoma & Western road, a re cently acquired property. It Is said to be the intention of the St. Louis & San Francisco to control a trans continental line reaching from Savannah, Ga-. to San Francisco. President Yoakum declined to enter into particulars, but gave it to be understood that the company had ample financial backing to carry out its plans without seeking connection with any of the already established trans-con tinental lines. mr. orew pritchett DIES OF SMALLPOX POWDER SPRINGS. Ga. March 18.—Mr. Drew Pritchett, one of the most prominent cl tl tens In this county, died at his home, two miles east of this place, yesterday at noon. Mr. Pritchett visited his eon at Athene, Ga. last week and contracted smallpox in its most virulent form. Despite the fact that he had the very best medical attention and nursing, death claimed him. An epidemic of smallpox la not anticipated, as the people are being vaccinated and are taking great precaution to prevent the disease spreading. mbsTeluncjn INDICTED BE JURY WOMAN WHO SLEW HER HUS- BAND WILL HAVE TO STAND TRIAL. Mrs. Mollie E. Duncan was indicted by the grand jury Tuesday for the mur der of her husband. Policeman James Duncan, whom she shot three weeks ago tn a room at 51 N. Forsyth street. At that time she claimed be was trying to kill his son by a former marriage. This is the third time the grand jury has taken up the case, which presented some very complex and unusual features. The trial on the indictment will be held next week, at which time Judge John S. Candler convenes the city criminal court. In addition to the Duncan case, and the Granade-Pope trial will be held, as well as those of severs! other notable cases. There, is no Indication that the Monnish felony indictment will be reached before week after next, as the jail prisoners will be first brought to trial. MRS. DUNCAN IS SICK: TRIAL TO BE DELAYED It is very doubtful if Mrs. Mollie Dun can, indicted Tuesday for the murder of her husbandjPoliceman James M. Dun can, will be abff to stand trial next week. “If the trial is set for the early part of the week.” said Dr. J. W. Hurt this morn ing. “Mrs. Duncan will not be able to stand the ordeal. It will be a hard tight to get her in condition for the trial any time next week, but it is certain she will not be able to be present during the first few days. She will not be able to leave her bed. unless she improves moat won derfully/’ ’ Mrs. Duncan is terribly nervous, as she has been since she was first taken into custody. She has been upheld to a great extent by the false hope that the grand Jury would indict her lor a lesser offense than murder. By the delay in finding any true bill at ail she was led to believe that her chances for escaping a trial for mur der were increased. The delsy in finding a true bill was due more to considering “the mystery feat ures'* that have been thrown into the case than to anything else. Duncan had made no dying statement, though be had exonerated his son. Claude, in talking to those about his bedside. Mrs. Duncan's continued nervousness is due as much to an accident she had some three weeks before the killing of her hus band as to the continued strain in which she has since lived. She jumped from a buggy and was badly hurt. This brought on complications which have left her very nervous. “I’LL CUT YOUR THROAT,” SAID MAN TO PEARSON An unknown man created considerable excitement in the office of the prison commission at the eapitol Monday af ternoon by threatening to cut the throat of Transfer Guard Benjamin Pearson. He also attempted to shoot Mr. Pearson, but was ushered out of the office In a hurry and sent flying down the eapitol steps, The man had been to the office one day last and was in an intoxicated con dition. Monday he appeared again. James W. English, Jr.. Benjamin Pearson, and the negro porter of the commission were the onlv persons tn the office st ths time. The man was well-dressed, but had a wild look about the eyes. He said he wanted to be pardoned by Judge Turner, the chairman of the commission, but when he was informed Judge Turner was not in. he entered into a discussion of the gubernatorial race. Because he was charged by Mr. Pearson with being a supporter of Guerry he walked to where. Pearson was sitting, placed his hands on Pearson's shoulders and looked at him for some time. Mr. Pearson soon became tired of the position in which he was sit ting and Informed the strange visitor that he could have a chair. It was then that the unknown man put one hand in his pocket and asked Pearson if he would like to have his throat cut. Pearson was astounded at the man and drew back. He then tpld him that he would not like to have his throat cut while he was looking at the man who Was to eut It. The man replied that he had a sharp knife he would like to use on some body's throat and he thought Pearson's was a good one. Pearson old the man If he didn't clear out of the office he would throw him through the window, and then the man reached in his pocket for a pistol. The porter rushed to the door and began yelling for the eapitol guards and Pear son made for his desk, where he keeps a tremendous Colt’s revolver that he carried when transferring desperate convicts. The porter was keeping up such a noise that the unknown man decided it would be too warm, especially when he saw Pearson reach for his gun. He made for the door in a hurry, saying he would come back some other time. Pearson fol lowed the man to the entrance on Mitch ell street. The man ran rapidly down Mitchell street, turned into Washington and dis appeared. It is believed at the office of the prison commission that the man is craxy. He seems to think that he has committed some crime and wants a pardon for it. A sharp lookout will be kept for him here after and the next time he appears ef forts will be made to arrest him and turn him over to the police. santoFdumont COMING TO AMERICA PARIS.

Capps, the Atlanta Railway and Power company conductor who knocked W. H. Venable from a street car at the corner of Marietta and Broad streets Friday night, was Saturday afternoon bound over to the state courts by Re corder Broyles on the charge of assault and battery, his fixed at S2OO. The bond was readily given. In the court room, Mr. Venable told the same story of the •affair that was printed in The Journal Saturday. He said he had stood just at the edge of the aisle behind the left rear seat from the time he en tered the car at Ellis street until he reached Marietta and that then tjie con ductor designated a seat, which he should take. He told him he did not care to sit down and was going to leave the car at the corner of Marietta and Broad. The conductor had grabbed him by the shoul der rather roughly, he said. He told the conductor he was acting like a d—n fool or a crazy man and he was struck, he said, while he had his back towards the man. The conductor stated he had asked Mr. Venable to move, that he was obstructing the aisle and that Mr. Venable refused. He Insisted and Mr. Venable wanted to know if the conductor knew who he was. The conductor says he told him he did not know and did not care. When they were on the platform, he says Mr. Ven able told him he was “William H. Ven able" and that he must be a d—n fool or a crazy man. Witnesses corroborated Mr. Venable’s side of the affair and it was shown ths conductor blew his whistle for the police and help before hitting Mr. Venable. Judge Broyles held that, as he had called for the officer and the officer and a num ber of street car men were coming, he should have waited and made complaint to the policeman.

March 19.—The cotton market opened steady with prices 1 to 2 points higher, a slim response to firm Liverpool cables and smaller port receipts than expected. Following the call May sold off to 8.86 and July to 8.88 under commission house selling for profits, af ter which the market was steadier on bull sup port and feverish covering. As the forenoon progressed the breach between May and July diminished to a point. There was no desire manifested to operate In the March and April deliveries, due partially to the fact that some 5.<X» March notices had been issued early in the day. The late cables from Liverpool were disappointing In that they reflected a full point reaction abroad. A light estimate for tomor row’s Houston receipts helped to give the mar ket a, steady undertone. Generally firm dry goods and Fall River cotton goods report in a small way intensified local bull confidence. After the first half hour the market became quite active and slowly stiffened to 8.90 for May and to 8.92 for July with short fitful buy ers. A Late in the morning the market was stupid ly dull, with prices holding practically at last night’s blds. Brokers believed to be acting for Wall street Interest* were light buyers on every decline below 90 for July, while the commission house contingent sold every ad vance above that figure. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something new to turn up. Cotton, spot, firm; middling uplands, 9 3-18; middling gulf 9 7-18. NEW YORK COTTON.

March 19.—Indifferent cables and predictions of rath in the southwestern wneat states, together with warmer weather in that locality. eased wheat at the opening today. May started % to % lower at 74% to 74%.

The warmer weather and Indifferent cables In fluenced an easy feeling but a slight revival of strength in wheat started some buying, es pecially in July. Commission houses, however, seemed to have plenty of stuff for sale and May hung Idly around its opening figures— unchanged to % lower at 61% to 61%. Re ceipts were still small at 81 cars. Talk of a freer country movement and a de cline of %d at Liverpool depressed corn, sell ing to W%c, and closing weak, %®%c lower at 51%®%C. _ _ , „ Traders still fought shy of May oats at the opening.

March 19.—Up to this date the month of March, In the surplus grain growing areas of the country, has given us very little if any bad weather. The country has enjoyed this week what it has been waiting and long, ing for for months, and that is a good selld rain. It came at a most opportune time, cleaned up all the lingering snow and with the exception of the Dakotas and Minnesota, took all the frost out of the ground. We have been promised a cold wave during the last forty eight hours which has scared the trade ajlttle and made us quite nervous about the condi tion of the winter wheat crop. This crop is just greening up and begins to show some signs of rtf*. With the exception of the late sown wheat, the crop looks fairly well. The absence st freezing and thawing weather Mar' been greatly in favor of the growing crop. Tn spring wheat areas we have had a mild wjrtter arid ths snowfall has been, compara tively speaking, very light. As the ground has been bare, or nearly bare all winter, the frost has been very deep and has been coming out of the ground the present week rapidly. As soon as thfc surface dries off farmers will-com mence to seed their wheat, but this is a little early for seeding in this territory, as a freeze up after the wheat has been sown means a poof crop at the very best, still it is a great thing to be ready and have conditions favora ble at the right time and season. In a small way. the present week, has seen oat seeding commence, with the ground gen erally in very fair condition for the reception of the seed. I look to see a full acreage put out but no radical increass. We have now just touched the threshold of the growing season of 1902. It comes to the country with the lowest reserves, probably, of coarse grains, ever known, hence the outcome of this crop means more to us than it has. par ticularly to our railroads, for many years. Our winter movement Is all over and for the next sixty days at least it will be even lighter than. It has been for the last thirty. Farmers are also so well fixed that prices this spring make very little difference to them one way or the other, 'No one who has not been among them this winter can for a moment realize the amount of money that ia in their hands today uninvested.

N. C., March 17.—The trial of John and Ella Knotts, colored, ac cused of poisoning Dr. S. J. Love, In Au gust. 1900, came to an abrupt conclusion in Stanly county court Saturday, when, by an agreement reached by the attorneys for the state and defense, a submission to murder in the second degree was made. The case was not given to the jury. Judge Shaw sentenced Ella Knotts to ten years and John Knotts to five years in the state prison. This ends one of the most mys terious criminal cases in the annals of the state. In August, 1900. a wheat threshing was held at the home of Mr. Tom Love, father of the deceased. Dr. S. J. Love. The next day nine of the men who had eaten a meal there were taken ilUall of them showing symptoms of arsenical pois oning. All of them recovered except Dr. S. J. Love, who. after lingering several days, suffering great pain, died. Ella Knotts, who prepared the meal, told a friend that she had placed some medicine on the tomatoes served at dinner, given her by John Knotts, who told her if it killed Dr. Love she would receive $5 for IL This John r Knotts denied and there the chain in the state’s evidence was broken. The night before her arrest she was vis ited by a crowd of masked men and with a rope around her neck (so she states!, pistols and knives thrust In her face, she was forced to tell the above tale and also told if she did not stick to this statement at the preliminary trial on the morrow that her life would be taken. She swore here this week that her first statement was untrue and that she made it, believ-. ' ing that it she did not that her life would be taken. A few weeks after being placed in jail here a mob stormed the jail and took John Knotts out with the evident intention of lynching him. He escaped from in the darkness and went to Union county, where he surrendered to the offi cers there. lb.. $3.00; raisins. 3L5001.W per box; cranber ries, $9.00 per barrel •nuff.

ATLANTA, March 20.—Owing to the heavy rains and freezing weather which we have been having for the past week, the sale of Florida vegetables has been retarded to some extent, but with plenty of sunshine and warm weather, we hope to see them drop back in the line of good prices. Tomatoes Os the best varieties are very scarce, while number two’s are very plentiful but meeting with ready sale. Squash were never scarcer at this sea son of the year, those that hqve been re ceived so far have met with ready sale, and at paying prices. So far we have had but very few snap beans on our market, and they have met with ready sale at tip top prices, so If you have any on hand, we would advise you to ship while you can realize good prices. Cucumbers were never known to be scarcer at this season of the jear, and we feel safe to say should you ship to our market they will bring phenomenal prices. The receipts of straw berries, so far. have been normal, but meeting with ready sale. We would advise liberal ship ments of new Irish potatoes, as there have been but very few on our market this season. Owing to the heavy receipts of cabbage for the past week our market has declined from half to one 1 per pound, and we would advise all shippers to ship by express as the freights are from three to five days in arriving at des tination, which causes a great depreciation in the value of the stock. Receipts of lettuce is very heavy and selling tor little above ex press charges. The receipts of Florida oranges are very light, and are bringing the top prloss of the season, so if you have any on hand now is the time to rush them in. Grape fruit and tangerines were never known to be scarcer on our market, and the dealers are dally en quiring for them, any shipments made to our market, we can assure you. will meet with fancy prices. The season for limes has now opened, and we are having daily enquiries for them, and we would advise you to rush them In while our market is in first-class shape for this fruit. Poultry, both live and dressed, was never scarcer and are selling readily at fancy prices on arrival, and we advise all shippers to get in their good work while our market is in good shape. We are very much pleased to say that our egg market It holding up far better than the prediction; however, it may be due to the cool spell which we have experienced for the past few days, and we feel safe In saying that our market will hold out at quoted prices for this week. Butter of the best grades is meeting with ready sale, but It Is a difficult matter to sell inferior butter, except at a very low price, which ts always the usual case. We advise all shippers to grade their butter before shipping. Sweet potatoes of all varieties were never scarcer, and good sound stock will bring fancy prices. Peas of all varieties, both stock and white, are holding their own and selling at quoted prices. The receipts so far of Tennessee smoked meat has been very light, and quoted prices are readily obtained. Our market was never in better condition for all kinds of fruits and produce, and we would advise quick shipments for good results. ENGLANDMUST RAISEMONEY FOR WAR FINANCIAL AUTHORITIES AGREE THAT ENGLAND WILL HAVE IM MENSE DEFICIT THIS YEAR. f NEW YORK, March 19.—The financial policy of the government escapes observa tion, while the military administration i» being discussed constantly, if ineffectively, says the London correspondent of ths Tribune. Experts like Sir Robert Giffen agree that the war has been financed bad ly from the beginning and that an oppor tunity has been wasted for a readjust ment of direct and indirect taxation and for the development of commercial inter course between the colonies and the moth er country on a preferential basis. No new departure is expected. The budget speech estimates of the expenditures, as printed, disclose a reduction of about £26,- 'IOO,OOO from those of the current year and the revenue receipts on the basis of the existing schedules are set forth aa £2,500,- 000 in excess in the present year. Experts assume that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will have to meet a deficit of about £25,000,000 and that he will borrow the bulk and pro vide for the balance with increased taxa tion. Sugar duties, under the Brussels agreement, will not be raised; coal export duties will remain stationary and taxation on wine and spirits will not be increased. The income from the taxation on tobacco will be exposed to fresh exactions. To bacco offers an alluring temptation, owing to the brisk competition between British and American trusts for the control of the home market and a consequent reduction in prices. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will surprise the experts if he reverts to any fresh source of revenue, or widens the area of indirect taxation. WEDDING IN WAYCROSS TINGED WITH ROMANCE WAYCROSS.

It was the fortune of Mr. Elmo Turner to meet this jovial little Yankee girt, whose manner though aggressive and bus ■nesslike, was gentle' and commanding of •aspect. Not only did her vigorous per sonality Impress him but her velvet brown eyes sunk deep into his heart, and before she left here to go to Brunswick Mr. Tur ner was a willing captive at her feet. She remained fifteen days in Brunswick and the intervening Sundays found Mr. Turner pleading his cause before the bar of Cu pid's court. He won.

Richardson, was resumed today, two of his sisters sat beside him and the prisoner held bis little brother in his lap.

Near ly all the forenoon was devoted to evi dence relating to the revolver found in a sewer recently, and which the state tried to prove belonged to Fife and was the weapon with which Richardson was shot. MORGAN SAYS HIS TRIP WAS MERELY FOR PLEASURE MACON, March 19.—J. Pierpont Morgan passed through Macon yesterday on a special train on his way to New York from Brunswick. He said to an Associated Press representative that the trip was purely for pleasure and uneventful. The reports as to the trouble in getting from Jekyl island to Brunswick on ac count of the storm were exaggerated, he said.
