G.i. B, CHIEF
HIKES BIS
SPEIL
GENERALL TORRENCE DELIV
ERS ANNUAL ADDRESS BE
FORE ASSEMBLED BLUE
• COATS IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9—The encamp
ment of the G. A. R. which Is the busi
ness meeting of that order, began its
sessions at 10 o’clock today in the Con
gregatic.nal church of this city. There
are about 1.000 delegates present. Com
anander-in-chief Torrance presided. The
meetings were secret.
At the outset a resolution was adopted
expressing grief at the death of Presi
dent McKinley and its regret over Pres
ident Roosevelt's indisposition.
Taking up the question of pensions. Gen
eral Torrance related the circumstances
’connected with the investigation of the
charges against former Pension Commit
sionet Evans. General Torrance said that
the acceptance of the resignation of Com
missioner Evans by the president immed
iately followed the presentation of this
committee report to him. Referring furth
er to the effect of this inquiry, he said:
“One gratifying result of our investiga
tions was to find that no ground existed
for the wholesale charges of fraud so
often made against the pensioners. A
large part of the last report of Commis
sioner Kvans was taken up with the re
cital of cases of fraud committed or at
tempted to be committed against the gov
ernment during the preceding thirty
year*, but when analysed it appeared
that very few who had any military ser
vice were parties to such frauds. The
violators of the law were simply im
postors, not soldiers."
The commander-ln-chief also took cog
nizance of the charge that the pension
roll contains the names of more Union
soldiers than there are survivors of the
civil war and pointed out that there are
more than 200.W survivors of that war
whose names do not appear on the roil
at alt He advocated legislation in their
behalf and declared that no pecuniary
compensation ever could be made to those
who preserved the Union.
Patriotic Impulse*.
"The patriotic Impulse that moved us
to lay afl on the altar of oar country
had." he safd, “no fellowship with mer
cenary motives. We did not belittle the
grandeur of the cause we espoused, cal
culating on personal gain. The inade
quacy of our pay but added to the dig
nity of the penalties we suffered. On the
field of battle fruitless assaults were often
made In the face of certain death, but no
one faltered in response to the unwise
command. Those were days of unques
tioned heroism. supreme devotion and un
paralleled facrifice and in these latter
days the rear guard of that immortal
army should exhibit a spirit no less heroic
than that manifested by those who fell in
the foreground of the conflict so many
years ago."
General Torrance paid high tribute to
the work of the women's auxiliary organ
izations. including the relief corps and
the Ladies cf the Grand Army of the Re
public and also made an appeal for the
proper recognition of tbe Sons of Veter
ans. saying on the latter point:
"Posterity. for which we fought, has
not arrived but will soon become the ex
clusive custodians of our country's des
tiny. and who more worthily than our
.sons, can take up and carry forward the
ugflnished work of the Grand Army of
tbe Republic?"
Refer* to Confederate*.
He devoted considerable space to the
eonskieration of the status of the ex-
Confederate soldier, repeating In spirit his
plea of a month ago for the manifestation
of good will and brotherly kindness to
wards the late adversaries of the mo
ments of the Grand Army. He said he
had been prompted that appeal by the
belief that such actions would tend to
bring still cl oser together all parts of the
country in the bonds of a common citizen
ship and there were always, he added,
evidences in the responses received from
the southern states that he had not mis
calculated. Indeed, he said, with but
two exceptions the entire pres* of the
country speak of the country and com
mended the spirit of the latter.
Continuing on this point, he said:
“It Is not expected that the Grand Army
of the Republic as an organization will
embark in tbe building of homes for sol
dier* north or south, but in no possible
way can the greatest fraternal organiza
tion in the world more becomingly caown
Its labors of love in behalf of its own
membership than by extending the hand
of helpfulness to their fellow countrymen,
against whom they were arrayed In dead
ly strife. The most disastrous results of
a civil war are'the animosities and bitter
feelings engendered thereby and I am
convinced that one of the most patriotic
eervtres we can render our country is to
earnestly aid in removing every barrier
that separates or estranges our people.
The victory at Appomattox will yield im
perfections of which we do not win the
hearts as well as tbe flags of the men
who wore the gray. The union of hearts
as well as hands is indispenslble to the
indissoluble and undestructive country.
The Grand Army of the Republic has
nothing to fear. It is not untrammelled
with difficulties and in the discharge of
my duty neither my heart nor my judg
ment will consent to return to you the
great commission committed to my trust
one year ago without voicing the noble
sentiments which I know animate all your
heart*, and I rest confident in the belief
that no Influences or condition north or
south can successfully contract or main
tain a sectional line that will prevent the
'manifestation of the most kindly feeling
and cordial good will by act as well as by
speech, between the surviving veterans
of those who wore the blue and those who
wore the gray.**
At the conclusion of Commander Tor
rance’s address tbe other reports of gen
eral officers were present.
In his report Inspector General Wilfred
A. Wetherbee, of Boston, says:
“I find that our weakest departments as
well as our weakest posts are those which
do not have a woman's relief corps con
nected with them. It is true that the suc
cess of all great undertakings has been
largely due to the influences of woman.
Tbe Grand Army of the Republic can give
testimony to the truth of that statement.
I most earnestly recommend that every
post .that is not so blest, take steps at
once for the formation of a corps. The
smaller and more remotely situated the
post, the more need of a corps."
Finance* Are Excellent.
Quartermaster General Charles Bur
rows. of Rutherford. X. J., furnishes de
tails concerning the financial affairs of
the order in the course of which he says:
“I am glad to be able to report a good
sound financial condition, the cash in the
general fund and supplies on hand show
ing an increase over that of last year.
•The southern memorial fund shows a
smaller balance than before and but for
the generous contribution from tho wo
man's relief corps, would have been wiped
out. s
The coal operators are at least making
it warm for the Republican party.
AT THE END OF THE ROPE
HER SWEETHEART WAITED
KNOXVILLE. Tenn.. Oct. 11.—Miss
Bora M. Homiiton. of Alum Wells. Va..
a graduate of Sullins' college. Bristol.,
eloped from her home last evening at
8:30 o'clock, with Dr. C. E. Bacon, of
Rotherwood. Hawkins county. Tenn., and
they were married by Dr. N. S. Bar
ker. president of the college in the pres
ence of the faculty and student body.
The bride is the daughter of Colonel
Hamilton, one of the most prominent
men in that section of Virginia, and her
family is one of the oldest in the state.
The elopement was made by the young
lady, who is an heiress to the Hamilton
estate, in order that she might marry the
man of her choice. Only recently she
graduated from Sullins’ college, and no
sooner had she joined her sweetheart,
awaiting her descent of the rope at the
foot of her window, than she insisted on
havlhg Rev. Dr. Baker perform the mar
riage ceremony.
The young people drove several miles
in a buggy and thought they were pursued
by the bride's father, a portion of her
way. i
Dr. Barker took especial pride in marry
ing one of the most faithful of his former
pupils. Dr. Bacon and bride left for their
future home near Rotherwood.
Dr. Mark Johnston for Assistant Clerk
Dr. Mark Johnston, of Baldwin county,
will be made assistant clerk of the house
cf representatives if Hon. Mara Hardin. 1
of Fulton, is elected clerk. Dr. Johnston
is throwing his support and Influence to
Mr. Hardin in the race, and their friends
are predicting that they will win out in
the elec .on.
Both men are well known In the state.
Mr. Hardin held the position of clerk fqg
a number of yenry, and gave It up vol
untarily to become a candidate for sec
retary of state. Dr. Johnston was recently
a candidate for state school commission
er against G. R. Glenn and W. B. Merritt.
WBSHELO MINER
WITHOUT BEING
OU woo
JAMES L. VAN BTAVOREN LOST
HIS MEMORY AND WOKE TO
* FIND HIMSELF IN
A CELL.
James L. Van Stavoron, who arrived in
Atlanta Thursday night from Newnan,
remembers nothing after Friday morn
ing when he says he met his brother and
saw him off on the train. After that he
does not know what happened until he
found himself at police headquarters and
the police are as deeply ip the dark as
to how the man came in as is Van
Stavoren himself. His name does not
appear on the docket and the officers do
not know what the charge is against him.
Van Stavoren said last night he thought
he must have been drugged. He doe*
not know when or by whom he was a “
rested-or on what charge. The supposi
tion is that he was brought in either
drunk or under the influence of a drug,
as he thinks, and was unable to give his
name. The arresting officer is not known,
but has probably been looking for a case
in court that could not be found. In
gome way the man got in without any
record being taken of him. He was re
leased last night on a copy of charges.

culated that Mr. Kroger had carried off

tributed to the Boer cause money from
his own pocket.
General Dewet. referring to the con
troversy on the subject of an audience
of the Boer generals with Emperor Will
iam. said his majesty bad not invited
them and that, hence, the generals had
not refused an audience. General Dewet
added:
“If an emperor or king should desire to
see us it would be a great honor and we
should certainly apply to the British min
ister to introduce us."
Six thousand, eight hundred dollart
jvas subscribed at the meeting.

BOUGHT OVERALLS IN ORDER
TO GET HIS PANTS
Aaron Brant, a negro, was bound over
to the state court Saturday by Judge
Broyles for stealing a pair of pants. Tne
negro had the pant* on in court and the
owner appealed to Judge Broyles to make
him turn them over to him. TV recorder
thought the owner ought to have his pants
back, but he didn't see how he could send
Brant to jail without trouser*.
“You will have to get something—some
old overalls or anything, for the man to
put on.” ruled the court. “You are entitled
to the pants, but I don't see how I can
give them to you now."
The other negro agreed to get pants of
some description for Brant to wear that
he might get his good ones back.
CIRCUS HORSES BREAK

The h>nw bitched to one of the big circus
wagons of the Forepaugh-Selis show became un
manageable on Jackson street late Friday night

Strikers Have Returned.
GENEVA. Switzerland. Oct 10,-The
employes of the gas. electric and water
works, after a prolonged discussion of the
strike situation, have decided to continue
THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOtfUNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1902.
LACK OF GOAL
MAY STOP
CARS
ALL ELECTRIC LIGHTS MAY BE
EXTINGUISHED AND ALL THE
TROLLEYS BE MADE TO RE
MAIN IDLE.
It was reported last night that the Geor
gia Railway and Electric company had
only coal enough to last until Tuesday
night, and that unless more could be se
cured by that time the trolley cars of
the company would probably stop and
all electric lights be cut off.
H. M. Atkinson, of the Georgia Railway
aud Electric company, when seen last
n|jght, stated that he had not heard of
such a report.
“I have not heard' of any such report,”
said Mr. Atkinson.
“Is it true that the company has no
more coal than enough to last until Tues
day?" he was asked.
"I must decline to state. I do not care
to be interviewed.”
“Do you regard the situation as seri
ous?”
“I had rather got make any statement
at all about the matter, and I do not
know how such reports could have gotten
out.”
It Wb3 currently reported last night,
however, that the company had run short
of coal, and although mere coal had been
ordered, enough. In fact, to last for sev
eral months, the railroads have not as
yet delivered it. It is stated that the short
age in tbe supply is not due to the coal
strike in Pennsylvania, but the failitfe of
the railroads to haul it.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—The cotton market
onened firm with prices unchanged to 5 points
hlpher and following the call stiffened up to
8.80 for January and to 8.81 for May on a
small scare of shorts and moderate bulling by
room friends of the staple, The chief cause
for the better feeling was a rjge of 4 points in
the Liverpool market at the close. After the
first wave of buying in the local ring sub
sided the market eased off several pointy un
der liquidation of a profit taking order by
scalping longs and commission houses. Then
a rally on bad weather news, present and
prospective, over the south Atlantic states,
caused by general buying, and the whole mar
ket again hardened. For the balance of tbe
session the bears devoted energies to the de
fensive rather than follow former aggressive
tactics. Receipts were about as expected, but
the estimates for Monday’s arrivals fell short
of vneral Ideas. Private telegrams from south
ern spot markets reported active demand from
exnorters and domestic spinners, with offerings
smaller and chiefly at higher prices only.
The weather chart gave heavy rains in the

New Orleans Cotton Letter.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 11.—The news
from Liverpool this morning was rather
encouraging, but the effect was lost on
this side through the New York Chron
icle’s expressed belief that crop damage
reports have been exaggerated, and that
with frost deferred to the average date,
the yield will fully equal, If not exceed,
that of last year. Os course, there is no
more assurance that this view will prove
correct, that the guesses of other esti
mators yet a number of traders doubtless
think that way and were willing to follow
that idea. The English market scored
an appreciable advance In both depart
ments, which was attributed to the week
ly movement falling below expectations,
and Manchester reporting a more hope
ful tone. The result here was directly
opposite. The Chronicle's announcement
combined with an unfavorable weekly
bank statement, and the usual Saturday
liquidation sent prices ha-'’ J •>
quiet tone ensued. Closing quotations
are C points lower than yesterday.
The weather will unquestionably con- •
tlnue to govern prices In a large measure, |
especially during the remainder of* this
month, as the spectre* St frost will hover
over the situation uqJII its periqd of dam
age has passed. Frost has assumed ‘un
usual importance this season by reason
of the opinion prevailing generally that
the date of Its occurrence will greatly de
termine the size of the yield. Meanwhile
the absence of a brisk demand for spots
from the regular channels has created the
impresston in some instances that trade
requirements are not fully up to expecta
tions and increased aggressiveness in the
’bear ranks has been noted in consequence.
» Murphy & Co.’» Cctten Letter,
NEW YORK. OCL IL—A sharp advance in the
Liverpool maiket this morning comes as a sur
prise to the local trade who had been prepared
for weakness abroad especially since the coal
strike had reached a more acute stage and a
number of New England mills were reported as
experiencing a famine of fuel necessitating a
shut down. Furtljermore the Chronicle publish
ed a special crop report to October Ist which
showed the Crop to be generally equal to last
year witb possibilities of exceeding it. all,
however, depending on frost. This report would
have commanded more attention but for the
fact that Alabama was placed in the column of
states with a fine prospect. Alabama’s condi
tion is quite the reverse of that claimed by all
other authorities and private ln«Uviduals and
even so conceded by bear factions. The appear
ance of a storm from the gulf working its way
through the Atlantic states and causing more
or less rain with Montgomery reporting 2V*
inches offset the bearish features elsewhere and
early prices moved up in keeping with Liver
pool but later receded. At Liverpool the ten
dency was buying all in sight while local opera
tors were eager buyers of March and May. The
takings of one flrm at Liverpool were estimated
at 25.000 bales. Private dispatches forecasted
pleasant weather for Texas. Port receipts esti
mated 45,000, s|me as last year.
Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Wheat today resumed its
position as leader on the board of trade and
after an easier opening, closed strong, Decem
ber up %c. December corn closed a shade high
er, but oats were lower. January pro-
vlsons closed from 7H@loc to 15c higher.
Wheat opened easier on what was considered
a bearish government crop report together with
weakness in corn. Markets in the northwest,
however, were strong and with good buying or
ders from that source commission houses turned
active buyers and the market here became
strong. St. Louis was reported as being on the
bear side. December opened >4c to He lower at
69M to 69%c. A few sales were made around the
opening figures, but with an active demand the
price steadily advanced to 70%c and closed at
the top 'with a gain of «4c. Clearances of
wheat <md flour were equal to 756,000 bushels.
Primary receipts were 1,098,000 bushels compared
with 1.025,000 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts of 847 cars, which
with local receipts of 111 cars, with but one
car of contract, made total receipts for the three
points of 958 cars against 931 cars last week
and 854 cars a year ago.
Cora was active but the trade was of a more
general character than recently experienced.
The operUQg was easy on bearish statistics, but
predictions of rains caused a firmer feeling and
etbere we.s considerable buying by commission
houses as well as by shorts covering. The
strength was maintained throughout the entire
session and the close *as strong. December
clcged a shade higher at after selling
betwen 47Hc and 47%@48c. Local receipts were
213 cars, with 31 cars of contract grade.
Oats opened weak with general liquidation
by longs influenced by the large Increase in
the crop as shown by the government report
which indicated the crop*would be the largest
on record. At the <s?cline there was good buy
ing by commission house* and this together with
the from shorts soon caused a rally.
The strength In corn was also a help to prices.
Considering the amount of liquidation the mar
ket held fairly steady with much of the early
loss regained. December closed H©9 B c lower at
31H©31Hc after ranging between 31>4c and 31%c.
Local receipts 190 car*.
Provisions opened steady on higher prices for
hogs and light receipts A the yards. Trading
was not large and was for local account main
ly. Sfaftrts covered freely and with a light sup
ply, prices advanced. The upturn in corn was
also a help. January pork closed 15e higher at
$15.80; lard was 15c higher at $8.97H. while ribs
closed 7H@loc higher at $8.30.
Estimated receipts today: Wheat. 100 cars;

CHICAGO. Oct. 11.—There was good buy
ing generally of wheat today by locals and
outside. New York and southwest were prom
inent on this side after opening decline, due
to bearish construction put on the govern
ment report and continued good weather. These
was cessation of offerings and steady de»n*nd
that carried prices up radlly. Early weak
ness and later strength in corn were more
or less of an influence. Close is strong with
December three-fourths of a cent higher. Ca
bles were steady. Prospects for export busi
ness good, owing to reports of lower rates.
There was much weakness in corn early on
selling by Bartlett, Frasier & Patton and
others. The decline came somewhat as a sur
prise In view of tho bullish government re
port as compared with last me*th. Sonip of
the buyers yesterday sold their corn, but
depression did not last long. The market
strengthened quickly, and in a short while
recovered all early loss. steadying around
yesterday’s close. Thare was considerable buy
ing of December and selling May. but strength
of December helped other options. Aside from
the government report, the-news was bearish,
lower cables, increased receipts and good weath
er with prospects for increased movement grow
ing better each day. Cash demand, however.
ke<y>s up and this with sentiment bullish more
than offset other influence. Oats weak at the
opening on heavy selling due to bearish govern
ment report, but shorts bought freely and
tendency to sell was greatly reduced. Then
corn strengthened, resulttag in a steady mar
ket with portion of loss recovered. Provisions
were strong, offerings light and plentiful, buy
ing in sight for distant months. Shorts bought
early, and as the market advanced offerings
became lighter. There was a fair demand for
October stuff. The strength of corn was a
help. The hog situation was bullish.
Southern Exchange Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, Oct. It—Wheat: The open
ing furnished a lower level, the pit was
conspicuously prominent with short sales
while there were also noted a good many
liquidating orders. After a decline of l-2c
was scored It was a scalpers' market,
rising and falling throughout the remain
der of the session with no special feat
ures. Manipulation played a promlneat
part towards the close, which was frac
tionally higher than the opening. Re
ceipts here a»d elsewhere are falling to
materialize Into strictly contract wheat
ant this Is causing varied conjectures
and surmises, especially as regards the
winter wheat outlook.
Corn—Corn sympathized in a measure
with the wheat market. The opening
showed signs of uneasiness on the part
of the bull faction by allowing their an-
rf the ma’ket
early. Receipts were larger today but I
the week has not equalled expectations {
In this particular. Liquidation was some- i
what cut short by a rally just before noon |
and prices took an upward turn which ;
lasted ;ong enough to place prices almost
at thj top for the day.
Oats—Oats were dull and almost feature
less. The close was higher.
Provisions—Pork was irregular and the
trade appeared nervous. The orders were
about evenly divided at the opening. Light
receipts of hogs nere stimulated prices
later and the close was firm at’an advance
of 7 to N points. Ribs were dull during

McCullough Bros.’ Fruit and Produca
Letter.
ATLANTA. Ga.. Oct. U.—With liberal re
ceipts prevailing as a generality and the Indi
catlveness of our market for the last ten days
has worked a hardship on the jobbers of fruit
and produce from a profit basis. Our market
has been stagnated, we may say, on apples,
cabbage any many other articles too numer
ous to mention. VVe look to see a further de
cline In apples, as the yield this season is
larger by far than for many season pre
ceding. The low prices will authorlie a gen
eral demand and consumption.
Lemon receipts are some lighter with prices
higher and quality of stock better.
There has been a tremendous demand for the
best qualities of Jamaica and Mexican oranges
during the last few weeks at .paying prices. The
first car of Florida stock of the season is now
in transit for this market, which will meet
with ready sala at *Klsfactory results to the
growers.
The demand for bananas is unusually strong,,
which generally prevails at this season of the
year. Prices are steadily advancing and we
anticipate no more cheap fruit until after the
holidays, weather conditions being favorable.
Irish potatoes, contrary to expectations, are
showing some weakness with slight decline in
prices. This, we think, is only temporary.
There is a good demand for sweet potatoes
at quotation prices.
The cabbage market continues in a very un
settled stat<i, and all arrivals ot- Virginia stock
in any other than good conditions is being
refused for freight charges. The quality of
stock as a usual tjilng throughout the season
has been very poor from that state.
Cocoaauts have advanced materially with the
market very firm.
The demand for California fruit continues
Wictlve. with but little. If any, changes in
prices, other than pears. Bartletts are over for
the season and the supply consists principally
on winter Nells.
New York' state basket grapea continue to
sell rapidly with prices advancing at all points
of shipments.
The damp, cool weather is materially affect
ing the demand and price* of live poultry, es
pecially fries. The trade as a general thins from
this time on will prefer dressed stock.
Eggs are in good demand at 21 to 22c for fresh
gathered stock. The buyers are fighting sto' of
cold storage goods, as they generally give poor
satisfaction to the retailer and consumer.
The best grades of Tennessee butter selling
well at satisfactory prices.
Chestnuts and chlnqueptns now in liberal sup
ply at quotation prices.

ROOSEVELT AND CABINET
MEMBERS.
WASHfXGTON. Oct- U-—His royal high-
Uess. Chowfa Maha Vajetradudh, crown
prince of Slain, accompanied by his suite,
reached Washington cn a special train at
8 this morning. During their stay here
they will be the guests of the nation.
' After breakfasting in their private apart
ments at the Arlington hotel, the Crown

with Secretary Cortelyou and Colonel
Bingham, the president’s military aide In
full uniform, were present to assist in the
reception.
The greetings between the president and
the prince were cordial on both sides.
There were no formal speeches. The
prince expressed his admiration for the
country, the little of it he had seen, and
spoke of the impressive appearance of the
American cavalry. President Roosevelt
responded pleasantly. He asked the prince
about his proposed itinerary and expressed
the hope that he would visit the military
and naval academies and also spend some
time examining the industries of whi<;h the
country was so proud.
CHINHiN fiNOlOl
HAVE J LIVELY
TIME
HOP LEE WAS ATTACKED BY A
YOUTH WHO WAS CAUGHT
BUT RESCUED BY A
CROWD. >
With a little Chinese baby in each arm.
Hop Lee, of 181 Whitehall street, probably
the best known Celestial in Atlanta, last
night collared a boy who had presumably
been teasing him, and would have turned
him over to the police had not some one
in the crowd that gathered snatched the ,
from the Chinaman’s grip. The affair
in front ot, the Bijou theatre, on
Marietta, and ended down at the corner
of Marietta and Broad. It lasted some 15 (
or more minutes, and was witnessed by
about a hundred people or more, who im
mediately gathered.
Just what war the cetise of the difficulty
is not known. The C hinaman had been in
the entrance to the theatre and eame out,
when the boy, probably 14 or 16 years old,
came punning up behind him. There had
evidently been soihe trouble before, for
both Chinaman and bey were ekeltod. The
Celestial caught the white• boy b# the col
lar. The two struggled, and «ne of thp ba
bies fell to the ground, but was seton 6n its
feet, screaming at the top of its tiny, ori
ental voice. The boy was about to get '
away, and the Chinaman made an extra
strong jump for him, which sent Him reel
ing against a wagon standing next to ;
the sidewalk. After that Hop got a good
hold, and the boy was not in the tdssle
any more.
A crowjl immediately surrounded the
struggling pair, and after several minutes,
during which time there were cries of
“Give the Chinaman fair play,” and
"Make him let the white boy go>”
As the crowd grew thicker some one
jerked jhe boy away from the Chinaman
and he ran away. Two policemen arrived
I soon afterwards, but no one knew who
the boy was or now the matter had start
ed.
To add to the confusion the Chinese taby
(hat Hop had dropped ’got lost in the
crowd. It was found later.
HUSBAND AND WIFE. <
FOUND DEAD TOGETHER
NACOGDOCHES. Texas, Oct. 11.—A tel- ‘
ephone message to the sheriff this after- ;
noon from Atoyaca. a village 18 miles east,
stated that Duncan Hicks, a prosperous
farmer and his wife were both found
dead todgy at their home two miles east
