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. DEWET IS KEPT BUSY DENYING FAKE REPORTS UTRECHT. Holland. Oct. 11.— At a meeting in honor of the Boer generals here last night General Botha definitely denied the reports which have been cir culated that Mr. Kroger had carried off foe state funds and declared that on the contrary the former president had con 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. TRI STATE DOCTORS ARE COMING TO ATLANTA BIRMINGHAM.

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 LIVE WIRE FROM FASTENING 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 immediately after theejast performance and ran into a trolley pole, knocking it down and letting loose a live wire, which struck one of the circus people and one of the horses. Man and horse were both badly burned, and the man had his’ leg broken besides. The man insisted that he be carried on with the show and this was done. His name was not given. Union Point Visited by Disastrous Fire UNION POINT. Ga.. Oct. 11.—A disas trous fire visited this place Thursday night, starting about 7 o'clock.

There was no insurance. Ine origin of the fire is unknown. 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.

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.

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.

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. ATLANTA MARKETS . Cotton.

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 prince and his party donned their court dress, and, escorted by a squad of the ‘ Second United States cavalry, were driven to the temporary white house to pay their respects to President Roosevelt. All the members of the cabinet now in the city. Secretaries Hay, Wilson and Hitchcock and Postmaster Geenral Payne, together 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.
