There in much to make tho physi
cians think Governor Atkinson in on
tho road to recovery. Ho lmd a com
fortable day of it Friday and rested
well all night. Dnring the day thcro
>ro no unpleasant symptoms.
The governor took nourishment at
regular intervals and retained it all
without tho slightest disposition to
nausea. Ho also took tho stiniulats
that were given him by tho doctors
from time to time and both stimulants
and nourishment did their work and
did it well.
With theso and refreshing sleep
during the day, the patient grew grad
ually stronger, and when the physi
cians met at \) o’clock to hold a con
sultation they all declared that there
was not a single bad symptom and that
the governor would certainly recover
unless somo unexpected development

The governor hininnlf thiolarod that

tlmn ho had aiuoo ho became sick. He
declared that ho hod rested in com
parative comfort alt day and that ho
would, ho thought, continue to gain
etrongth from now on.

Until Friday afternoon tho dootors
had been giving Governor Atkinson
beof peptinoids na tho only nourish
ment thov thought he could retain on
his weakened stomach, but Into in Ihe
nftornoon they decided to give him
Borne chiekott soup and thrty were very
muoh gratiiled tu observe that ho took
it with great relish. He said it tasted
good and several times afterwards ho
was given more of it. This had
strengthened him very greatly and ho
was considerably improved wliwn tho
physioiaus hold their last consultation
for the night.
The news that tho governor’s dan
ger was diminishing every minute was
roeoivod everywhere with great ro-
joicing.
Latest Reports.
Governor Atkinson continues to im
prove, and everything indicates more
stroDgly than ever before that ho will
recover.
Ho continued to gain strength all
day Saturday, and when tho physicians
called to see him iu tho forenoon nnd
found him so much better than he Imd
been, with so much brighter chances
for recovery, they decided to retire.
Tho patient is now in thu hands of
Dr. J. It. H. Holmos alone and will
remain at tho Halcyon, Dr. Holmes’
sanitarium, until ho is sufficiently
strong to leave Ills l,cd.
Jt is a mistako to think that the gov
ernor, even with tho steady progross
toward recovery that lie now seems to
bo enjoying, will bo out of bed nud
aide to walk about the streets in a few
days, as has been reported. Iri hint,
it is hardly reasonable to believe that
ho will bo able to Hit up for a good
long time to come, nnd the pre
diction that he will ho able to walk
about tho streets within ti few days
cannot bo entertained save only by
thoao who have no conception of tho
severo trial to which he has been put
nnd the narrow margin of life that was
left him.

M’LAUGIILIN SENTENCED.
New York’s Ex.Police Inspector Given
a Term Iu Prison.
At Now York, Wednesday, Judge
Barrett sentenced Polioo Inspector
McLaughlin to two years nnd six
months in the state prison upon his
conviction of tho chflrgo of extortion.
Judge Barrett, in passing sentence,
said:
"l shall not at this timo add to tho
weight of your humiliation l>y a singlo
harsh expression. In truth I hnvo
nothing in my henrt but rogret for a
wrecked life. In considering what
punishment will l,o ndetpinto, I hnvo
sought nil rensounhlo grounds for tho
exercise of clemency. T. realize that
your conviction carried witli it to an
unusual degree, ils own punishmont.
I recognize nlso tho fact tlint in your
enso a just verdict was perhaps of
greater consequence than any individ
ual ponalty, for such a verdict tends to
fortify nnd uphold publio faith in tho
efficacy of the law, oven when dealing
with great nud nll-porvading influ
ences.
A PAPER COMBINE.
Manufacturers of Newspaper Forming
a Crust With Hlg Capital.
It has become known iu Wall street,
Niw York that somo of the mannfno-
tnriTS of pnper for newspaper use hnvo
been plntming to form n combination
with n big capital. Their representa
tives hnvo been talking with Wall street
men with reference to financial plans.
Borne of those in ihe movement are re
ported to bo ibo Manufacturers’ Paper
Company, feprusented by K. B. Full
erton; tho rail Mountain Paper
Company, represented by n Mr. Bussoll;
tlio Niegnrn Falls Paper Oompnny and
tho Glen Manufacturing Oompnny.
Tlioro are also understood to be oilier
eompnuioH, fifteon or twenty in all,
mostly situated in Now England and
New York, which would go in should
tho project come to a head. Ho far
nothing doliuite has been settled.
There has been talk of a capitalization
of $29,000,000 with $10,000,000 in
bonds. Tho combination, if formed,
would probably bo a big newspaper
trust, and possibly, if itH shares woro
listed on tho stock exchange, might
rival otlior big industrials ns a subjoot
for netivo speculation.

THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF
ENGLAND DECIDES TO RESIGN.
Another Advance In Rail*.
The Illinois Bteel Company at Chicago
have announced an advance of |2 a ton
iu the price of steel rails, the -former
price being $23. The increase is at
tributed to the increased cost of ore,
coke and labor. It is said by the com
pany that a further appreciation in

Salisbury Summoned by thn tjueon to
Form a Now Cut,luot.
It is officially announced from Lon
don that, tho ItoHobory government will
resign. Lord Salisbury will be sum
moned by tho queen to form a minis-
istry and his cabinet will proceed
with the routino business of the house,
obtain provisional supplies nnd then
dissolve purliu.nont. It is expected
that the elections w ill take plnco tut
the 1011, of July.
Tho second mooting of tho cabinet
Saturday afternoon began at I o’oook
and Instod until 5:15 o’clock. The
meeting was held to dcoido whether
the government should rcsigu or dis
solve parliament. It was decided tu
resign.
Lord llosoliory had a long private
audience with the queen and uomimin
ionted to her (ho decision arrived at by
tho government.
Tho Central Nows is authority for
the statement that Lord Kosohory,
while at Windsor castle, tendered tho
resignations of himself and his col
leagues tn the queen, who accepted
them, Her majesty has sent, for Lord
Salisbury, who w ill proceed to AVind-
sor eastlo when lie will be unlrusted
with tho formation of n ministry.
It is net doubted that n joint min
istry will bo formod of liberal union
ists and conservatives and the cabinet
will be called a unionist government.
AA’hen it became known that Lord Sal
isbury had been summoned by the
queen it was said that ho would not
consent to form a ministry with tho
present house of commons and thnt ho
would recommend the queen to dis
solve parliament.
Tho unionist rank nnd fie advise a
prompt appeal to tho country. They
believe that they will ho able to obtain
a majority of eighty in tho next, par
liament. They are now very enthusi
astic and sanguine.
HITTING THk FRUIT MEN.
Southern Railway ami Steamship,As

A nother phase . f the relations be
tween the railroads aud tho fruit grow
ers of Georgia has developed and lias
created a- decided J<J» iu business cir
cles. It oaino iu t-ho slmpo of a circu
lar of tho Hou!ho*n Railway nnd Htoarn-
ship Association, which doclnrod that
hcruufter tho minimum amount- to ho

pounds.
This moans an ineronsu of about 20
por cont in tho rates upon peaches.
Heretofore tho minimum lias bean
20,000 pounds, aiuF the growors olnim
Hint they have not bflo'h nhlo to got
even that amount in n cnr. Tho aver
age, so experts- dselare, is but littlo
over 18,000 pottpdK. A. number of
theso fruit growors express their views
very forcibly upoiijtho subject.
"This simply means,’ 1 said one of
them, "tin advance in Ibo already ex
orbitant fruit into of 20 per cent, not
to all points, both on,it and west.”
Tho fruit growers ure busy arrang
ing to move their orops, and when
their attention was called to this cir

and did not ininco words in giving
their opinions of this unforeseen, ao
tion.

SOUTHERN GETS IT.
The Atlantic ami Florida Solti by tho
Central Trust Co.
Tho Southern railway gets tho Atlan
ta and Florida railroad. And Atlanta
gets tho now union passenger depot,
of which the oit-v has dreamed many
years. These twp bits of railroad news
constitute tho most important change
in t-lio railway ohoss board of this
region of tho south for a long time.
AVhilo it is'trno that tho Atlanta and
Florida was bought in, on t-lio face of
tho oontrnot, by tho Central Trust
Company of Now York two woeks ago,
it became known thnt tho deal wns
really in behalf of tho Southern Rail
way Company, to which tho formnl
deed of tho proport,y 1ms been made.
The Southern will tnko charge with
out delay, and tho Atlanta nnd Florida
becomes a part of thn splendid system
of roads which is rapidly growing to
proportions as great as tho greatest
railway system in America.
Thn reasons given for t-ho purohnso
of tho Atlanta nnd Florida by tho
Southern nro that tho road was cheap
and wns regarded as available at thn
prioo paid. Tho price ns limned in
tho papers was $275,000.
It. will bo rnmomborodthat whontho
Central Trust Company bought tho
property this was thn price paid, but
owing to certain indebtedness of tho
road to tlio Central Trust Oompnny,
only $59,975.48 of tho price named
lutil to bo paid in actual cash fur tho
property.
Tho nmount of purclmso was for tlio
most pnrt taken up in what the Atlanta
and Florida already owed thn Cen
tral Trust Company of Now York, tho
amount of indebtedness being $152,-
383.66, nnd ar,oilier debt coming duo
July 1st, of $62,640.86. Theso debts
to tho Central Trust Company wero
accepted in part payment for tlio road
and tho actual outlay of cash was com
paratively small.
FAILED TO GET TRUE DILLS.
South Cnrollna Unsuccessful In an Ef
fort to l’rosrcute.
Tho dispensary law bobbed up in the
court of sessions nt Charleston Tues
day. During tho morning the grand
jury woro given a batch of bills by tbo
solicitor. Among theso woro six

Buchanan said that tho jurors
should carefully consider tho evidence

They should not permit thoir preju

CONSOLIDATION SUGGESTED.
Railroad People Talking of a Com
bination of In forests.
A well-known railrorfl mnn of Sa
vannah snys there is a movement on
foot Imckod by the Southern Railway
Company nnd its officers to consolidate
all tlio big railroad systems of the
south under one gigantic management.
In support of his statement, which ho
says is founded on good authority, ho
points to tho agreomont between tho
Southern and the Atlantic Const Line,
tho acquirement of tho Georgia South
ern nnd Florida by tho Southern, nud
tho fact that tho Central* will soon go
into that system. This, he says, will
eventually cut out tho Florida Central
and Peninsular from a good deal of
tho business, which will bo sent via
tho Georgia, Houthorn and Florida,
and will effectually bottle up Air.
Plant from all except 'his eastern con
nections with tho Louisvillo and Nash

tween the Soul hern and Louisville and

tems together, the idea being, he Buys,
to stop tho general into cutting nnd
saenring business through improper
methods which has been'goiug on for
years.

Trammell wns nfter and what Sucre
tary Smith insisted upon, but Com
missioner Miller could see no good
reason why Clispman should go, es
pecially ns he had been rendering effi
cient service nud was moro than any
other person fully informed of

was allowed to have his way

firmly tho opinion that Chapman ought

Spain Must I’ny Up.
Tho United States have demanded
the immediate payment of $1,500,691)
which Spain 1ms owed to Antonio j;
Maximo Mors, an American citizen,
since 1886. During ono of tho Cuban
rovolts twenty years ago, the Spanish
government arrested A. M. lAIora, anslif
American citizen, and seized his ywwii®:
nblo sugar plantation. Before Spain
admittod its mistake, it lmd colleiiled
from tho Mora estate moro than $2,-
000,900. A settlement wns insisted on
by Secretaries Fish nnd Bayard, nnd,
finally, under pressuro, Spain ngrood
to pay $1,500,000. 1
Before tho Inst congress adjourned it
jmssod a joint resolution requesting
tho president to insist upon tho pay
ment of the sum agreed upon between
thn governments of Spain nnd tho
United States in liquidation of the
claim of Antonio Maximo Mora against
tho government of Spain, with inter
est from tlio time when tlio said
nmount should have been paid under
tho ngroeinent. This resolution passed
both houses und was approved by tho
president, and, therefore, tins all tho
foroo of law.
Spain has niado many excuses for
delaying tho pnyment of this just
claim, hut now it appears (hat further
excuso will not be tolerated. On tho
day thnt Mr. Olney beenmo secretary
of state in placo of Mr. Greslmm, ho
sent a letter to Spain through the
United States minister at Madrid,, de
manding tho immediate payment of
$1,500,000 which tho Spanish govern
ment 1ms owed to Mr. Mora since
1886. Mr. Olney, according to re
port, calls tho attention of thuSpnnhh
government to tho fact that tho justieo
of this claim is not in dispute, and
that no further dolay will ho tolerated.
