HOME OF A FAMOUS DISCOVERY. MARVELOUS GROWTH OF A WONDERFUL TREATMENT WHICH SAVES THE LIVES OF MEN AND WOMEN SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC DISEASES. Eminent Physicians and Specialists Offer Free Help to the Sick and Afflicted. A few years ago Prof. Thomas F. Ad kin. the noted scientist of Rochester. N. Y.. discovered a new treatment for, curing diseases. It was radically dif ferent from any other. It was start ling in its conception. At first he stood alone In his belief that a com bination of psychic force and certain magnetic vegetable remedies would cure when all else failed. He sought eagerly for cases which had been pro nounced incurable, and he was mar velously successful in restoring the health and strength of chronic suf ferers in an incredibly short time by the power of his great discovery. Gradually his fame spread, until now he is recognised from one end of the land to the other as one of the mighti est healers the world has ever known. His work has prospered. an<f the In stitute of Physicians and Surgeons, of which he is president, now occupies the splendid sanatorium illustrated ' above. Prof. Adkins employs a noted staff of physicians and specialists, and many people of means, from all parts of the country come directly to him for treatment, but the majority of his patients consult him by mail. It you are sick, he invites you to •end him the leading symptoms of your ailment. He will give you a free diagnosis of your case and prescribe, free of charge, a home treatment which he guarantees to cure. Many thousands of people have profited by this generous offer. It is a God-send to those who feel they cannot afford to pay doctors' bills. Mrs. E. Reed of Dudleyville IU.. suffered for twenty five years with chronic rheumatism. constipation, catarrh of the stomach and bowels and an affec tion of ihc heart, liver and bladder. -- ”1 doctored until I grew tired of life,” she'writes. “My back was so weak I could not do my work. I thank God for finding your generous offer in the paper. In one month's time your Vitaopath! treatment has done me more good than all the doctors who have treated me in the last ten years.” Mr. Jas. Smart of Lee. N. C., was ad dicted to bad habits. “I feel like a bird liberated from a cage." he states in a recent letter. "I am so light hearted I fairly bubble over with good feelings. I seem to have changed back to my boyhood days. My health is better than it has been for years, and I grow stronger every day. I have no desire whatever to return to my old habits. It does not seem possible that I could have formed such bad habits and then be cured in such a short time. I would not return to them for the wealth of the world. I feel I have a new lease on life, and one that will be spent tn usefulness to my self and my fellow-men. I have been able to perform some remarkable cures myself by means of your Wonder ful Vltacpathic instruction. I do not now have to call a doctor for any of my family.” Mrs. S. A. Sutherland, living in Claire. Mich., says In a letter to Prof. Adkin: “When I began your treatment I did not think I would ever be any better, and my neighbors thought I never would be well again. I was extremely nervous and suffered I also had liver and kidney troubles and palpitation of the heart, and at times was almost frantic from loss of sleep. The first few days of your mar velous treatment did me more good than all the medicines I had ever taken, and It has finally made me a •well woman. I want to thank you and your great staff of specialists from my heart, for the kind, courte ous and generous interest you have taken in my particular case. In writ ing you it has always seemed I was writing to a personal friend Instead of the greatest healers of modern times.” In addition to a free diagnosis. Prof. 'Adkin will send you a free copy of his handsomely illustrated book, which tells some intensely interesting things about his remarkable discovery, to gether with convincing proof of hun dreds of people permanently cured of Heart Trouble. Dyspepsia. Nervous, Debility. Kidney Trouble, Insomnia. Neuralgia. Bladder Trouble. Constipa tion. Rheumatism. Female. Trou bles. liquor and morphine habits, and countless other ills. Write Prof. Adkin at once. Do not put thia advertisement In some pigeon hole of your desk, or in some "safe" place in the house where you are al most sure of never finding It, but write now.

Roberts, of Wesleyan, announced in the North Macon district conference last night that he Intended to raise 160.000 for the improvement and enlargement of the college. He took up a subscription and realised $3»». This is to be used as the nucleus. Bishop Candler preached yester day on "Revivals.” He deprecated the emotionalism that so often crops out in revival meetings.

ATHENS. Os.. Juno 13.—Chancellor Hill in his annual report to the board of trus tees on Thursday afternoon strongly rec ommended several very important changes In the agricultural course of the Univer sity of Georgia. He recommended a course of nature study which will place the student in closer contact with all forms of vegetation and animal life. Another innovation in this course, he suggested a correspondence course with the young farmers of the state who are unable to go to college for their informa tion yet are anxious to farm on scientific principles. The third and most Important recom mendation in this course was for a short er term In the agricultural course. The success of the winter course of three months was so great as to merit the recommendation of an agricultural course of one or two years. These recommenda tions have been made to the trustees now sitting in session and it is thought action will be taken upon this subject this week. Mrs. Klnnebrew. the matron of Den mark hall, the new students' dining room, prepared and gave an old-fashioned bar becue to the student boarders and their invited friends. The pigs, sheep and beef were barbecued on the campus in front of the hall, and most of the vegetables used today were raised on the university farm. A large crowd of the yOung lady com mencement visitors, with chaperones, dined at the hall with the boys today, and altogether it was a most enjoyable affair. The board of visitors and the board of trustees now in session here were invited to be present as the guests of the 125 regular student boarders. caplTTlaibd, BRAVE OFFICER, ISJEID WHEN A MERE BOY HE LED HIS COMRADES INTO A BATTLE SEEMING CERTAIN DEATH. Capt. L. J. Lase-d, a well known financial and insurance man. died Friday morning at 2.30 at his home, 110 Capitol ave nue. His death was unexpected, although he had been ill for two weeks. Captain Laird was seised with nervous prostartlon about four years ago, and the condition of his health was such that he was compelled to retire from business. Since that time he had been tn indifferent health. His last illness began two weeks ago, but his condition was not considered critical until Thursday night at 9 o’clock, when he was seised with convulsions and died without regaining consciousness. Captain Laird is survived by his wife and six children. His wife was formerly Miss Elisabeth Cody, daughter of Rev. Edmund Cody, a well known Baptist min ister of Eufaula, Ala. The children are: L. J. Laird. Jr., of Freeport, Neb.; E. C. Laird, of Atlanta; Mack E. Laird, of St. Paul. Min.; Mrs. Joseph N. Ellis, of Jef ferson City, Tenn., and Miss Elisabeth Laird and Miss Jennie Laird, of Atlanta. Captain Laird was bom in Eufaula, Ala., February 7. 1843, and was therefore In his sixtieth year at the time of his death. He served in the war under Gen. Alpheus Baker, and the latter gentleman always said that Captain Laird was one of the bravest men that ever faced a gun. Captain Laird visited Louisville two or three years ago, and while there called on General Baker. These gentlemen had not seen each other for over eighteen years, and in keeping with his feelings the general clasped his old comrade when he saw him like a fattier would clasp his boy. He related an incident about Captain Laird in connection with the battle of New Hope church. In Georgia which was fought May 27, 1864. “The attack was made by the Federals on Gen. Henry D. Clayton's brigade prin cipally,” raid General Baker, "and after an hour's hard fighting, in which a great deal of artfilery was used on the Federal side, the Federals were repulsed. On the 25th there was a great quiet on that line, but on the night of the 26th, about 12 o'clock. I found Federals were establish ing a battery in front of my line, to which my regiment was on left, the Twenty seventh Alabama, was principally expos ed. I wrote Gen. A. P. Stewart, telling him that the battery was being established there about 400 yards distant, that I would be bound to suffer if it opened on us the next day, because we were armed alto gether with Belgian rifles that carried only 300 yards. I told General Stewart that If he would send me artillery I would send the battery out of the ground at daylight in the morning. He wrote bacK to me that he could not furnish me any artillery, that I occupied an Important part of the line and he knew I would hold it. "On the morning of the 27th I waited in great apprehension, and about 2 o'clock in the afternoon the smoke puffed up from the battery and terrific fire of grape and solid shot stru> k the Twenty-seventh Alabama. It was very destructive and In a few minutes 97 were killed and wounded. Heads and arms were shot off. We could not reach them with our Belgian rifles, but I knew we had a few Enfleld rifles In . our brigade, and I called for all armed with Enfleld rifles to come forward. Nine teen men came, and knowing it was a most desperate undertaking. I asked for a volunteer officer to lead these nineteen men, and a mere boy, Capt. L. J. Laird, then only 17 years old. came forward and volunteered to lead these men. And he did lead them Into the jaws of death and right Into the Are of the grape-shot, and In a few minutes he had silenced the bat tery and saved the brigade, receiving a most desperate wound from a cannon ball on the head, which disabled him for over a year.” TOG PROUD TO BEG, SHE WAS STARVING MACON, Ga., June 14.—The first genuine case of starvation by a person too proud to beg has been reported by one of the city physicians. The victim Is Mrs. New comb. a Virginian, whose husband died here a couple of weeks ago. He has been In feeble health for several years and had been earning a living selling pencils on the streets. He in this way supported a wife and five small children. But sevet i al weeks ago he grew too ill to go on the streets, and his wife wore herself com pletely out with watching and working to keep him alive. Now he is dead and she was prostrate with hunger last night when a city physician found her. Her children were also starving. 3 I * THE bEiUi-WEEKLY JOUkNaL, AiLAAj A, V..C..GIA, J.I J.ADAa, -o, WOMAN WINS PLACE AS SPEAKER ' YOUNG LADIES ON THE LIST OF UNIVERSITY SPEAKERS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HIS TORY OF THE INSTITUTION. UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATH ENS. June 14.—The board of trustees, at their session* yesterday afternoon, decided that representatives from the two female branches of the University of Georgia, the State Normal school at Athens, and the Georgia Normal and Industrial college at Milledgeville, be allowed to speak at the exercises of the different branches of the university on next Tuesday afternoon. This action Is not so surprising, for it was noticed in the chancellor's report, read Thursday, that he did not express himself adverse to this step, but stated that if the representative from the State Normal school be allowed to speak, pro vision should be made for a representative from the Georgia Normal and Industrial college. The representative chosen to speak from the State Normal school was Miss Lollle M. Smith, daughter of Hon. R. B. Smith, county school commissioner of Green county. She is a njember of this year’s graduating class and is considered one of the brightest minds and best scholars in attendance at the State Normal school. She easily won out in the contest for this honor, and will represent her school on next Tuesday at the commencement ex ercises participated In by all the branches of the University of Georgia. When the announcement of her selection was made some time ago In The Journal, the fact created consternation in the minds of the alumni, and all awaited the action of ths trustees when they met here. Speaking of the decision given out late yesterday afternoon, Chancellor Hill said: "It was entirely the decision of the trus tees, and I will tell you how it came about as regards to the representative of the Georgia Norma! and Industrial col lege. When I was down there to com mencement, I heard a very fine paper read by Miss Emily F. Nucholls. of Fort Mitchell, Ala., and the paper which she had prepared was excellent, and was de scriptive of the nature and special work of the Georgia Normal and Industrial college. I remarked that if Miss Smith be allowed to speak at the university com mencement, an excellent paper upon a most excellent subject has unwittingly been prepared for the occasion for a rep resentative of this college, and I spoke to President Chapel about it. Tonight I tel egraphed Miss Nuckles and she will repre sent the Georgia Normal and Industrial college.” MARTINIQUE VOLCANO % AFFECTS MANY PLACES HARRISBURG, Pa., June 14.-The con tention of geologists that the recent seis mic disturbance in Martinique would not only affect territory adjacent to Martin ique, but would also be noticed in this country, is borne out by the following let ter sent by Colonel H. C. Demmlng, of the United States Geological survey, to J. D. Wolcott, of the American geological survey, Washington, D. C.: "During the past month I have taken at various places in Pennsylvania in my geological work a number of elevations above sea level, and I have found in ev ery case where elevations had been tak en previously that the present figures show higher elevations than before. It is possible that this is due to the seis mic disturbances in the Martinique and other Islands southeastwardly from the United States. I found the variation to be from two inches to more than 24 on com paring them with older records at Honey brook, Chester county; Columbia, Lan caster county; Gettysburg, Auams coun ty, Newville, Cumberland county and Harrisburg, Dauphin county." itkimlnT his FRIENDS MEO M STORY OF THE BELT LINE DEAL FROM BIRMINGHAM—SALE WAS CAUSE OF NO SURPRISE IN MAGIC CITY. BIRMINGHAM. Ala., June 12.—The final announcement by Mr. H. M. Atkinson, of the Birmingham Belt Railroad cepipany, that the Belt system had been purchased by the ’Frisco system, was received in Birmingham without surprise, as several things had transpired to lend color to the original report, sent out from New York some days ago. The amount said to have been received for the Belt is $600,000. Mr. Atkinson and associates purchased it last October for 2375,000. Real estate was then purchased in the territory of the Belt at an outlay of 1100,000, making the total cost $475,000- The net profit to Mr. Atkinson and his asso ciates is $125,000. Some surprise has been expressed that the Southern railway has made no oppo sition to the entrance of a competitor into the Birmingham district. It is said that the secret of this is an understanding which John Skelton Williams had with J. Pierpont Morgan at the time of the cele brated transaction in Louisville and Nash ville stocks. General Roadmaster L. B. Parsons, of the Seaboard, arrived in Birmingham yes terday and is in charge of the material to be used in building the extensions into Birmingham. Work will begin when the litigation is over. INSANITY IS PLEA~~ OF MILLARD LEE The trial of Millard Lee, charged with the murder of Miss Lilia May Suttles, was Thursday made the special order for this morning in the criminal branch of the superior court. Attorney Reuben Arnold Thursday entered a formal plea of present insani ty, and asked for a trial of this issue be fore a special jury, arguing that the jury of the criminal court as at present con stituted could not legally serve In the trial of the plea of insanity. Judge Can dler, however, said he could easily ar range for a jury of 24 out of the existing jury of 48, and that the case could be promptly entered into. Solicitor C. D. Hill, for the state, was anxious to begin the case, but Col onel Arnold stated that he was physically unable to commence the trial of such a difficult case, and feared he would break down before its conclusion. Upon this statement. Judge Candler excused all wit nesss until Monday next. SEMI-WEEKLY MARKET REPORT Spot Cotton Market Atlanta, steady. 9c. New York, quiet, 9 7-l«c. Liverpool, quiet, 5 l-32a.

New York Cotton Market. NEW YORK. June 14.—The cotton market opened quiet with prices 2@4 points lower, in response to generally unfavorable Liverpool cables. Whereas an advance of 1% to 2% points had been expected in the English mar ket on the New York closing of yesterday that market closed quiet and net unchanged, to % point higher. Spot eotton was quiet and l-32d lower on sales of only 5,000 bales. More over there were no foreign buying orders in hand to speak of. . Yet the weather forecast indicated no relief from the drouth over the central and wesetrn sections of the belt and the chart this morning gave positively no rain fall where most needed in the belt. Soon after the call prices rallied quite sharply on de mand from smaller shorts, but at most busi ness was along hand-to-mouth lines and com mission houses were quite bare of business. The whole list worked up to last night’s prices with October time at 8.06 bid. Then came gradual reaction under selling for profits by conservative scalpers and light Wall street bear pressure, under which prices eased off to the opening figures. The Chronicle crop weather summary of the week south was re garded as bullish but few traders were satis fied that actual damage has as yet been sus tained by the crop as a result of the dry weather. The private telegrams stated that the hot winds were prevalent in Central Texas again but that as a general thing the plant was withstanding the heat and lack of moisture extremely well.

The prediction of a storm over the cotton belt was the fea ture of the market that caused prices to take an easy drop and some brokers to sell and go short on the new crop. There was little real izing in the selling; it was done mostly on the prospects of rain and if the promised storm does not come by Monday the general predic tion is that prices will take a big jump. There was nothing doing in June and but little in July. October was the most active in the trading. The net losses were 4 to 5 points. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

June 14.—The Chronicle re port on the crop situation today was just as expected. As a matter of fact there has been no actual damage as yet according to all sources of information including Dallas, Fort Worth. Houston and Brenham. These as well as ether towns refer to the need of rain and point to the fact, in most Instances, that no injury has yet resulted. The character of the Liverpool cables today was not encour aging for the bulls. No material change be ing reported In that market. It is understood that Liverpool is not disposed to attach great importance to the dry weather in-ae-much as the best local concerns calculate that the plant has not suffered as yet to any appre ciable extent. It Is claimed, however, that the trade may become bullish if dry weather is unbroken for a week or two longer. There is expectation of little rain at Savannah. Moisture was reported during the morning but this made no impression on prices, which eased off 2 to 5 points after advancing 2 to 6 points. The market again developed weak ness on expected rain In North Texas. The visible supply today of all kinds is 2,510,000, against 3,640,000 last year. American visible 1,858,000, against 1,953,000. Southern Exchange C-.tton Letter. NEW YORK. June 14.—The opening prices at Liverpool today were slightly firmer with a slight advance over last night’s closing figures. There was a weaker tendency developed a little later and forced a drop of about one point on the close, resulting in about the same os last night’s close. There was some disposi tion on the part of shorts to cover and a demand for spots, but on the whole the market presented a lethargic attitude, the close being quiet. The trade is patiently awaiting develop ments from the southern states regarding the crop prospects and have no decided views, as it is too early in the season to be an advocate of either side of the market. Our market dis played a stronger feeling at the opening, but a weak undertone soon became evident and dullness set in which was attributed to the decline. Prices slumped off about 4 points from the opening and closed easier. Early reports coming in from southern cor respondents stated that rain had been general through the west, but later the weather bureau report was contradictory to this. There was light rain at Macon, Ga., and a few scattered sections In Georgia felt a light rain, but the precipitation for the past week has done noth ing toward furthering the growth of the plant. Predictions for good showers come from Loui siana. adding that a storm is expected to travel around the gulf coast. Considerable dam age by boll weevils and drouth continue to con gest the wires. On this mixed sentiment we can only expect a listless market until con ditions are materially changed. Port receipts are estimated at 5.000, against 7,984. New York spots were steady at 9 7-16 c. New Orleans was a buyer of spots, mostly for foreign account. This helped the future market to hold rather firm throughout the day. Crain and Provisions. CHICAGO, June 14.—Apathy pervaded the pits of the beard of trade today. Traders paid little attention to anything but wheat and not much to that. Inasmuch as wet weather has ruled the pit for the last week, when pros pect of clearing skies were reported wheat lost its strength. Oats sympathized somewhat, but corn was under manipulation and held firm. At the close July wheat was %@%c lower; July corn. up. and July oats He down. Pro- visions closed 7%c down for everything on the list. . Wheat—Late selling developed the only ac tivity that the wheat pit experienced today. At the outset cables were lower, indicating better wether in France and England. The southw<*st sold liberally In spite of the fact that the country still had a soggy blanket spread over it and more rains were falling. Commission houses took a little stuff on the score that not since the deal has there been so clear indications that stocks of old wheat are practically exhausted. A belief then seemed to take hold of the crowd that fine weather was at hand. I’rivate telegrams buoy ed bears up to this opinion and when the lead ing elevator interest began selling very free ly the crowd was sure that the reaction was setting in. All this while the pit was very dull. As the selling progressed a gradual de cline ensued and July, which had opened un changed to He lower at 72U to 71Hc. slumped to a weak close, %@%c lower at 71%®71%c. Local receipts were 22 cars, 5 of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 217 cars, mak ing a total of 239 cars, against 251 cars last week and 492 cars a year ago. Primary receipts were 357,000 bushels compared with 557,000 bushels fest year. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 622,000 bushels. The seaboard reported 15 loads taken for export. Corn was excitingly dull even for Saturday. Wet weather all over the corn states hindered the movement and the grading, but the lower cables and the wheat weakness offset the bull ish factors and the pit was left much to It self. in spite of the lifeless nature of the pit corn held very firm. The rumors were going the rounds relative to the big deal In July options. One was that the Wall street crowd was shipping out cash stuff. The other had it that J. Ogden Armour rather than the Wall street crowd was the manipulator. On these rumors the crowd fought shy of the pit and especially as there was no big selling today. July fluctuated only and closed at the strongest %@%c up at 63He. Country accept ances are still small. Receipts, 307 cars, but graded only 34 cars contract. Oats were steady early, but the. trade was slow. There was little support to the market and when wheat weakened oats fell off in sym pathy. There was a little recovery late, and closed easy He lower at 39%c. Receipts were 165 cars. Provisions were dead with the exception of a little outside liquidation. Hogs were slightly weaker and packers refused to support after the first five minutes. This resulted -In a de cided slump, but part of the loss was retained. In general the market was so dull that it was featureless. All July products closed 7%c low er at $17.52%, lard at 810.22 H and ribs at $10.40. . Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat. 20; com, 376; oats, 130 cars. Hogs. 42,000 heads. Hogs for the week. 170,000 heads. CHICAGO QUOTATIONS.

Murphy & C©.’s Grain Letter. CHICAGO, June 14.—Wheat has been dull and lower today. Weakness was on selling by local longs and southwest. News was not particularly bearish, but sentiment was. and there was but little support to the market. Commission houses were moderate buyers. Bartlett ahd Frazer and Armour were «»£>y sellers of July. Cables were indifferent. The weather in the southwest was very wet and more rains were predicted. There was a fair export demand. The opening was about steady and the market hung fire at a fraction lower. The selling movements started and there was a gradual decline. Corn showed firmness in face of lower cables. Liverpool came % to % lower. Bull interests supported the market which was rather irregu lar and showed but little change. Country of ferings were small and wet weather was re garded as bullish The market showed a dis position to advance but on the slump in wheat offerings were rather liberal and the advance was lost. July was strongest, closing weak but unchanged with the other markets. Oats were steady but developed weakness later In the session, the close showing a loss for the day. Trade was not heavy and weak ness came from lack of support more than any other cause. There was a falling off in the cash demand and weakness of wheat had its effect.

The frutl and produce trafic is holding up remarkably well; in fact, better than ever be fore in the history of our market at this season of the year. Peaches are moving in abundance and the glut that usually exists at this season of the year has already arrived and departed. The market at this writing is well cleaned up with conditions favorable for a strong demand and more satisfactory prices. This applies to Geor gia stock, because the receipts of Florida stock has not been excessive at any time during the season. Cantaloupes have been in liberal supply dur ing the entire week, and prices have declined sharply. Some of the stock is of excellent quality, while some shipments that have ar rived packed by inexperienced handlers have been pulled prematurely and results have been nether profltiable nor satisfactory. As yet the consumption of watermelons has been light by reason of the fact that the trade is inclined to be afraid of them early in the season. The extreme warm weather prevailing Is naturallv dispelling this feeling and we anticipate the trade to open up on these goods in full blast next week. Several full cars have already been in the market, but their sale as yet is not complete, hence results cannot be determined. Vegetables, generally speaking, are now being supplied by the home gardeners, with the ex ception of tomatoes and okra. The market on lemons Is very active, and we dare say strong advances wIH be the order of the day for the next three months. No apples or oranges of any description now in the market. - A tremendous glut on bananas has existed during the entire week, whereby the handlers have necessarily suffered a severe loss. Demand seems to have fallen off materially on account of the abundance of other fruit. There is a strong demand for bright comb honey in one-pound prints; also bulk comb honey in cans. But little inquiry, however, is being made for honey in inferior quality. We anticipate much higher prices for new Irish potatoes during the next ten days, the bulk of the crop in all southern points having already been marketed. The market is bare on old Irish potatoes. Very little demand for onions at low prices. Butter selling slowly at unsatisfactory prices with indications of a further decline. Eggs holding their own at quotation prices. The market is abundantly supplied with small and medium chickens with prices much lower Demand continues active for large fryers and hens. R, G. Dun & Co.’s Review. R. G. Dun & Co.'s review says: No diminution in business is apparent from labor controversies owing to the prosperous condition of the agricultural sections and the bright outlook for this year’s crops. Retail distribution of light weight wearing apparel has felt the stimulus of higher temperature. Railway earnings in May were 8.7 per cent larger than last year and 21.7 per cent above those of 1900. There continues to be a wide discrepancy between the amount of business offered and the contracts closed in many branches of the iron and steel industry owing to inability of producers to assure delivery at a specified time. Contracts running well into next year indicate that the end of activity is not near. Pressure Is still most conspicuous for rail way and structural supplies and agricultural implement works are crowded with orders. Limited stocks are still the cause of stead iness in all branches of textiles. Holders are not urging sales and buyers show a disposition to wait. Purchasers of cotton goods are in fluenced by the prospect of cheaper raw ma terial after the new crop begins to move. Cotton rose slightly on a few unfavorable weather reports, but the outlook is very bright in many states. . Tardy deliveries of sample prices by the •woolen mills has caused complaint among the clothiers, and fall orders are not placed freely. Wool sells more freely at leading eastern markets and quotations are steady. No change of importance has occurred in leather. Hides are again strong with Texas steers leading the market and foreign dry hides do not yield to lower bids. Grain markets have show* the effect of con flicting crop estimates and weather reports. Failures for the week numbered 162 In the United States, against 179 last year, and 20 in Canada, compared with 23 a year ago. ATLANTA MARKET* Cotton. ATLANTA, June 14.—Middling cotton quiet at 9c.

WATERBURY, Conn.. June 13.—Judge Robinson, of the superior court, has hand ed down a decision dissolving the injunc tion which restrained the executors of the Plant will from removing the $17,000,000 trust fund from Connecticut into New York, except that $15,000,000, the amount of a legacy to which Charles E. Hoad ley, of this city is entitled, as represent ing his children, must remain In this state according to the decision. Judge Robinson finds that the Hoadley heirs are collateral kindred, being sons of a half brother of the testator, and as such they have a collateral Interest in the es tate. He does not find, however, that ac* cording to will, they are in any way inter ested in the distribution of the $17,000,000 trust fund in the event of the decease of the beneficiary mentioned In the will.
