THROUGH GEORGIA. Interesting Notes Gathered From Here and There Over the State. Wilcox county is the first to have a primary, and the governor and the stale house officers were almost unanimously endorsed. * W * Nebo is the name that Mr. W. 11. Bush has given the new town he is going to build up for the colored people about a half mile from Jug Tavern. There could not have been a better place selected for this purpose. The land is all well drained, and to take it all in all, is the very place for the colored people to build them up a nice little town if they will take the advantage of it. * * * The DcKalb County Agricultural Club at its last meeting unanimously adopted the following resolution: Whereas, The cost of the production of any article is an important factor in determining the profit in it to the producer and is worthy of mature consideration. Therefore, Resolved, That we earnestly request Hon. U. T. Nesbitt, commissioner of ag riculture, to prosecute inquiries on the subject of the cost of the production of cotton, corn and small grain, aDd give us the result of those inquiries in his month ly reports. The bankers of Atlanta are likely to take the initiative step in an organized movement for the passage of the bill re pealing the ten per cent, tax on itate banks. This is a practical measure, one upon which all classes are pretty nearly united, and upon which the best business judgment of the country is rapidly crys talizing. The silver coinage qir stion is postponed for international considera tion. After a strong, honest iffort, the friends of free coinage fell a few votes short of success, and arc now patiently nwaiting the result of negotiation with the leading nations of Europe. * * * There is going to be a very charming commencement at the Technological school at Atlanta this summer, and it is not very far distant in the future. The annual commencement nddress will be delivered by Hon. William 11. Fleming, of Augusta, if he recovers from the ef fects of his recent accident sufficiently to speak. If not, Dr. Boggs, from the State university, who is booked to he preseut and make an address before the college boys aud the audience, will take take his place. I)r. Hopkins will also make his annual address to his pupils. It is going to be an especially interesting commencement as regards tho boys and their work for the year. Their exhibits will l>e displayed to advantage, and their theses and speeches will all be entertain ing. * * * The people Georgia will be gratified to learn that General Guidon’s health has been sufficiently restored to enablo him to return to his seat in tho United States senate. lie has had a long and tedious attack which, at one time, threatened the most serious consequences, indeed,so serious ns to ularm his family and physi cians. This session of congress has been noted for sudden deaths among the rep resentatives Hud congressmen, ami Gen eral Gordon’s friends feared, at one time, that his attack might prove fatal. His physicians, however, urged him to leave Washington, and not to return until he was fully restored. His threatening sym tomshave all disappeared, and, although he has not recovered the full measure of his strength, yet ho feels well enough to return to Washington. * * * The Ryan case which has been pending before the Atlanta courts so long is set tied so far as the fight between the sc cured nnd unsecured creditors of Stephen A. Ryan are concerned. Tho settlement is a compromise. Judge Marshall Clark signed an order of court carrying out the provisions of the agreement. The agree ment is as follows: John Ryan and John F. Ryan, holders of mortgages on the jirojierty of Stephen A. Ryan, take half the money iu the hands of tho re ceiver and obligate themselves to pay the amounts due the Atlanta hanks by Ste phen A. Ryan. They also agree to pay the mortgage of Eugene Kelly, of New York. Tho unsecured creditors agree to take the other half of tho money in the hands of the receiver, nnd also agree that the title to the real estate held by John F. Ryan, which has been contested by the creditors, shall l>e confirmed in John F. Rvan. A decree of court so confirms the title in Mr. Ryan. * * * The Melon Trnlllc. The melon crop is being moved at a right lively rate by the railroads, and the season is well open. South Georgia is doing all the shipping. Coming at this time, the crop provides the lines with traffic' for which they are grateful. There is no doubt that the crop will ben short one. All over tho melon section the crop is suffering for rain. The acre age is considerably lower this year than last, and now ttie drought has cut down the yield until experts have come to the conclusion that there will not be more than half a crop. The melons are small on account of the long dey spell, but the prices are goc’. The buyers are paying from SIOO to SIOO a carload on the sidetrack at the ship ping point, an l tho planters will make money this year. Of the melons grown between Albany and Vahb sta, 75 per percent go west, and 25 per cent cast and i e.rth. Most of the melons cast of Valdosta go cast and north. The two tin sto tin* wist from the melon fields sre the Louisville and N ishvi le and the Nashville, Cliattauo ga and St. Louis. T'- t.iM.-r works with the Western and Atlantic and the Central througa Atlauta, and the Louisville and Nashville takes up the melons at Montgomery. » » * Good for the >l. and N. G. According to a New York dispatch a r>!nn has been finally arranged for the re organization of the Marietta aud North Georgia liailro»d Company, which bids fair to go through successfully, and put the property on its feet. The agreement has been signed by the five members of the committee, who have promised to un derwrite enough of the new 5 per cent first-mortgage bonds to accomplish all jhat is proposed. The committee of five s compose lof Mr. Post, of Post, Mar tin & Co., banker*, of New Y* rk; E. E. Dennistoo, of E. W. Claik & Co., of Philadelphia; Walter Stantou, Thomas Carmichael and Norman Erb, the two last named being Engli-h capitalists,who represt nt the foreign bondholders. Out of the $11,820,000 consolidated bondhold ers, about three million dollars is represented in »he agreement for the plan of reorganization, nud they have been depositing their bonds with the Atlantic Trust company, of New York. It is known that, thus far, there have been deposited under this arrange ment 8-50,000 from Philadelphia, about thirty five thi usind dollars from Geor gia and $1,400,000 from England. It is confidently 'xpicted that the bonds held in New York, Baltimore, Charleston, Augusta, Gn., and elsewhere, will come in, ns there is practically no opposition. It is hinted that Kessler & Co., of New York, representing $150,000 in holdings, may, for motives of their own, stay out, but this is the exception, if there be any thing in it. All the Savannah hanks and most of the other holders there have agreed to the scheme, and have forward ed their bonds to the trust company. • * * Crop Krport. The weather crop bulletin issued on the 141 h says: Another favorable week has advanced the crops rapidly. On the whole the past week has probably been the most satisfac'ory of the present sea son. With a good degree of heat and plenty of sunshine there have been abun dant showers in most districts, except in the southeast. In some few eases the rain has been too heavy, washing the ground; and some points, also, failed to receive any rainfall. A general and slow rain would probably be the most bene ficial Iking that could now occur. As it is, the crop outlook is reported as above lhe average in the northern por tion of the state, and in all sections far mers ure hopeful. Tho condition of cotton has continued to improve, and the crop is now making rapid advance ment. The plants are still small, and their gmwlh is somewhat retarded by cool nights, especially in the southwest section. In tho northern part of the state it seems fully up to the average for this date. With the defie’ent rainfall and the cool nights in the southwest lice have again appeared to some extent. Chopping is about at an end, and no complaint is now made as to the stands obtained. At some points the buds have developed nnd a few blooms are out. Corn is evciywhcre in excellent condi tion, and growing rapidly. In general it is small, hut of good color, and healthy. Early fields arc in the tassel and silk. In the eastern aud southern counties it is being generally ‘‘layed by.” Except for slight damage by hail at scattered point", no complaint is made as to the condition of iipl ml c rn. On the bottoms there has been some washing, and cpnsequcnt damage, from heavy showers. The harvest of oats and wheat is nearly completed. In northern districts the oat crop turned out better than was antici pated. More than an average wheat crop is reported in the SHme section. The acreage of wheat is small but the yield is excellent. Rust is reported in a few cases, hut there is no general complaint. Peaches arc ripening, and the earliest arc already coming to market. The crop will be an abundant one. Occasional com plaints are made of their rotting and dropping on moist lands. The crop of early apples are not so abundant, but fall apples are plentiful. Pears will bo Bhort. Small fruits are abundant— blackberries unusually so. Melons stand in need of rain to give them sizo. They aro being shipped, hut are small. With early ami abundant rain in the melon districts, a fair crop would be marketed. Without rain it will be somewhat short. The past week has af forded an excellent opportunity for set ting out tobacco and potato plants, which lias been industriously improved. Theso crops are in good condition, although late. More potatoes and peas are being planted tliuii in former years. In many cases peas are being planted after the enrly oats. Cane and rice are in excel lent condition in most rases, but in some instances inland rice has been drowned out for want of proper drainage. Truck farms and gardens have greatly improved in condition since the recent rains. GEORGIA CROP FIGURES. Astonishing Comparisons as Between the Crops of 18(10 and 1802. In an old leport of the comptrolU r gen eral's office, Ims been found hii interesting item in the list of ho stmt’s | reductions in 18(10. They will be especially inlcrestiog when compared with the figures for the past year. For example, take the follow ing items of production in Georgia: 186). 1891. Cotton, lin'cs (K1T,935 1,900,000 Wheat, bushels 3,608,71)2 2,373,000 Corn, bushels 30,313,819 37.8J9.01H! Oats, bushels 1,215 027 7,238,000 To those who have looked on the ngri culture of the present as totally inferior to that of ante helium days, this compar ison will be a revelation. Without the evidence of the agricultural depar menl’s official report no one would have believ ed that the wheat crop of 1891 was very nearly rqunl to that of 1800. All along the Western and Atlantic railroad are large stone depots now never full, hut once filled with grain. At Kingston in 1857 there wero thir teen wheat buyers. It should bo remem bered, howevi r, that the area of improv ed land has increased, and there are now three railroads where there was one in 1800. Consequently the wheat crop is not so conspicuous as it was thirty years ago. Tne cotton crop of 1800 was measured by four hundred pound bales, and that of 1891 by bales of 500 pounds. Reducing all to five liundrcd-poun 1 bales the comparison would be 558,348 against 1,300,000. The oat crop of 1800 seems very small and it must have been a fail ure, for that of 1850 was about 3,000,000 bushels. An interesting comparison is the num ber of farm animals: 1860. 1892. Horses -..130,771 104,405 Mules 101,069 157,25". Milch cows 299.688 354,58;i Oxen 700,194 569,200 Sheep M 2,018 383,017 Swiue 2,036,116 1,691,27: Georgia was woefully short in all these things in the rep >rt of 1870, and had not regained her position by 1880, lut the above figures show ihst agricu'turc has about regained the p out it le't in 1800, so far as live stock is concerned, and has far passed it in the general volume and value of all products. lhe wool crop o( 1891 was, on the whole, much larger than that of 1800, while the cotton crop was more than double. The farm pro ducts have incrcised in fully as great pro|»ortio'> as the population. Dutchman's Pipe. The climbing shrub known ns Dutch mm's l’ipe grows to the height of fifteen or twenty feat. It is a native of the southern parts of the Alleghany Moun tains nud is frequently planted in the l uiled States, in Britain and on the Continent of Europe, to form shady bowers. It lias \ery large heart-shaped leaves a foot ill breadth’ of a beautiful green. The pipe-shaped Dowers hang singly or in pairs on long stalks At a distance the \iue might be mistaken for n bean viue, but the Dower, can b ■ taken for nothing e'so but a Dutchman's pipe.

Horens torn from tfikir foundations AND SCORES OF I'BOPLE KILLED OUT RIGHT— SCENES OF nORROIi. A special dispatch from Mankato, Minn., says: One of the worst disasters that ever visited Southern Minnesota oc curred between 0:30 and 6 o’clock Wed nesday evening. Every report that comes in is more serious than the preceding one. At least forty or fifty lives are lost. The extent of country swept is greater than ever before known in the history of the state. Starting near Jackson, on the Southern Minnesota road, a funnel-shaped cloud swept eastward and passed four miles south of Minnesota lake; it then took a broad circle to the south and pass ed away south of Wells. Considerable rain had fallen during the afternoon and about 5 o’clock the atmos phere became almost suffocating. Curl ou«ly shaped clouds began gathering over the southwest and many people gazed in wonder at the sight. About 5:30 a wind sprang up, and off to the west a circling black cloud was seen rapidly advancing and tearing asunder everything in its course. It passed two miles northwest of Sherbun and it is reported that it then struck a district schoolhouse in which was a teacher and eighteen pupils. The building was demolished and the teacher and fifteen pupils were killed. At Easton three buildings were de stroyed and several people were injured. Lindon was visited and many Rouses were torn from their foundations. One family, composed of a man, his wife and child, were killed and others were in jured. A large group of trees were com pletely uprooted. Tho storm passed on eastward, destroying farmhouses, barns am), in fact, everything in its path. At Wells sidewalks were overturned, store fronts Mown out and other damage done. Four miles south of Minnesota I,ake five farm houses and their outbuildings were caught up in the storm and utterly demolished. Four jieople were killed. Much damage was done south of Wells, nnd it is reported that forty or fifty wire killed south and west of that village. As most of the damage was dono in the country reports are slow in coming in, but what has been already heard i enough to insure the belief that it wa the worst storm ever reported in Soul I Minnesota. It is expected that later r ports will increase rather than dioiiui) the extent of damage done as well as tl loss of life and injuries. Many hea rending scenes < ct'iirred A CYCLONE’S WORK. Ail Illinois Town Almost Swept Out of Existence. A very destructive cyclone passed thiough the northeastern part of Knox county, 111., Monday, and ruin was left along its path. It seems to have first made its appearance northwest of Galva. About 7:30 o’clock two black, threaten ing clouds were nqticed in the west ap proaching one another, and the tornado is thought to have resulted from this junction. Its course was south and east through that city and the main body of the storm passed along tho main business streets of the city. It came with such suddenness that the citizens had no time in which to fly to places of safety. Many buildings wire totally wrecked, and that many people were not killed is a miracle. The saddest feature occurred at Augusta Olsen’s house. There were in the house at the time Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, Charles Olsen and four others. The resi dence collapsed, killing Olsen instantly. Tho others escaped by a miracle. The place Tuesday was in a state of demoralization. Business was completely (impended, the streets being filled with debris of every description. The stores were more or less in ruius. Hardly a residence but what will need repairs. The damage is estimated at $300,000. Considering tho number of buildings wicckod it is surprising that there was no greater loss of life. Mr. Olsen was tho only one killed. Eleven persons were badly hurt. Tho track of the storm was three to four miles wide. West at Galra, about a mile, stood a fine large farm house before the Btorm, not a vestige of which now remains. A Washington dispatch says: Cyclonic storms, similar to that which struck Galva, 111., are reported from I’ooria, Sandwich, Rockford nnd elsewhere in Illinois, Boone, In., aud Hammond, Ind. A great deal of damage was done to prop erty, and many people were injured, but there was no actual loss of life. ALABAMA DEMOCRATS Select Delegates to Chicago and a Slate Ticket. The Alabama state democratic conveu tion closed its labors Friday and ad journed, after having nominated a fu 1 state ticket, presidentid directors and tlie twenty two delegates from Alat ama to the national convention. The dole gates to Chicago go uninstructed, the sentiment of the convention being agaiust instruction. Tlie state ticket was completed by tin nomination of the followin ; candidates : Governor, Thomas G. Jones, of Mont gomery; secretary of state, J. I). Barron; of Clay; attorney general, W. L. Martin; of Jackson; auditor, John Purifoy, of Wilcox; treasurer, J. C. Smith, of Dal las; commissioner of agriculture, 11. D Lane, of Limestone; superintendent o! education, J. E. Harris, of Sumt< r. Electors State at Large—Willis Brewer, of Lowndes; E. L. Russel, l , of Mobile. An inquiry among the members places the position of the national delega'ion about as follows: A good majority favor the ex-president, but less than half the delegates are what might be called pro nounced Cleveland men. The re mainder, twelve or fifteen, are men who will go to Chicago to vote for the most available mail —the man whose nomina tion, in their opinion, means the most for the south, and whose election seems the surest. If that man is Mr. Cleveland, he will get nearly all the Alabama delega tion, but the delegates preferred to”be uninstructed. Homeopathic Convention. The forty-fifth session of the Ameiican institute of homeopathy was opened at Washington Monday. The general re port <jf the bureau of organization, reg istration and statistics showed that there had been a general advance in homeo pathy, all along the line during the year. The reports stated that there are in the United States forty general and thirty nine special homeopathic hospitals, at which 81,294 patients were treated last year. The death rate was 8.31 per cent. it was also shown that there are in the United States fifty five homeopathic dis paasariai and thirty homeopathie jour aala. Collected Carlos. A paper just issued by the Englith parli.tnrot shows that the number of emigrants who left Irish ports in 1891 waa 69,888. Of this number 63,273 came to thia country.

It all goes to Bremen by the steamship Alier. Dispatches of Friday from Mankato, Minn., state that the latest developments realize the gravest fears as to the cyclone. The death loss will amount to at least thirty, and seventeen bodies have been recovered thus far, with laige territory to hear from. The cyclone was one of the worst that has ever visited the north west. The greatest loss was about Wells and Minnesota Lake. Dispatches state that a cloudburst oc curred in the western part of Wiscon-in Wednesday Dight doing great damage. Atßoscobel five bridges were carried away.

A London cablegram of Wednesday is to the effect that the National League of Great Britain has issued a manifesto to Irishmen in Great Britain. It sai i" that the anti-Parnellites have rejected honor able terms for a truce, and have declared war to the knife, and predicts that three years will elapse without homo rule for Ireland being granted. At the expiia tion of that time, the manifesto contin ues, part of the McCarthyite* will have deserted to the enemy and others will have fled the country in disgrace. The little band of Parnellites will then form the nucleus of the new Irish army to save the nation. BLAINE’S SORROWS. His Sou Emmons Hies Suddenly at Chicago. Emmons Blaine, son of ex-Secretary o( State James G. Blaine, died at his resi dence in Chicago at 11:15 Saturday morning from blood poisoning originat ing from u disorder of the bowels. The fact of Mr. Blaine’s death waskept concealed for some time after he had pass' d nwav, the object being to reach the father first with some general inti m ition of the sad news. The ex-seere tary and his wile were at Bar Harbor, Me., and efforts to get telegraphic com munication with them failed, however, and about 12:15 o’clock the news of tho death leaked out. It was not until about a quarter of an hour prior to the fatal moment that the least intimation that Blaine was in a dangerous condition be came known, and then it was only to a few. When tho sad intelligence finally reached Mr. and Mrs. Blaine, they were prostrated by the terrible blow. During the convention young Blaine seemed in perfect health, and no one who heard of his sudden passing away was more shocked than those who unv him participating in the caucuses, early and late, night und day, ia his father’s interest. It is thought possible by many that the strain of excitement at Mineap oli°, followed by kecu disappointment ol the outcome, had n t a littl ■to do with the physical prostrition en-uing.
