McDONOUGH, GA., FRIDAY. JANUARY, 16, 1801. INSPECTING GULF FORTS. Gil*. Howard mid suff I-ook About Fort JoftpMoii. Duv Tobtcoas, Fla., Jan. 13. Gen. O. O. Howard and staff arrived on the revel'ne steamer McDutl, Capt. Thomas A. Smith, to inspect the fortifications at this place. Accompanied by Capt. Smith, bis staff and the sergeant in charge of Fort Jef ferson, as the post here is called, he crit ically impected the grounds, buildings and armament. It is the largest fort in tha United States, except Fortress Monroe, and is rapidly going to decay. It was erected by Jefferson Davis while secretary of war, at a cost of $5,000,000. It covers forty-five acres, and the buildings at present are occupied by officers of the Marine hospital service. Gen. Howard was agreeably impressed with the location of the fort, and will recommend that it be garrisoned and equipped with modern guns. It origi nally mounted upward of 500 guns, and many of them are still mounted. It was at this place Dr. Mudd was con fined in his cell for three years on life sentence. He was liberated in 1868, dur ing the yellow fever scourge. All the surgeons of the station had succumbed, and no one could be obtained to fill their places. Dr. Mudd volunteered. His work was like magic, and he lost few of those down with fever. For his service he was given bis freedom. Gen. Howard, upon returning to Key West, inspected Fort Taylor, command ing the entrance to Key West harbor, and he will recommend that it be garri soned and equipjicd in the same manner as that at Tortugas, thus adding two sta tions ready for immediate action in case of trouble with the republics to the south. * 10,000 OUT OF WORK. Matioiihi" Valley Furnaces Shut Down lie* cause of Freight Kates. Youngstown, 0., Jan. 13.—The fol lowing furnaces in the Mahoning valley are now shut down by the operators, be cause of the refusal of the railroad ami coke men to reduce rates : Brier Hill Iron and Coal company, three stacks, 125,000 tons annual capac ity; Andrews Brothers, Hazleton, two stacks, 80,000 tons; Hunrod furnaces, two stacks, 65,000 tons; Strutbers fur nace, 40,000 tons; Hannah furnace, 50,- 000 tons; Girard furnace, 75,000 tons; Hubbard furnaces, 75,000 tons; Mary furnace, Lowellville, 55,000 tons; Claire furnace, Sharpsville, 50,000 tons; Doug lass furnace, Sharpsville, 60,000 tons, Mabel furnace, Sharpsville, 50,000 tons; Shaiqisville furnace, 40,000 tons; Spear man furnace, Sharpsville, 60,000 tons; Stewart furnace, Sharon, 30,000 tons; Sharon furnace, 25,000 tons; Wheeler furnaces, Middlesex, 100,000 tons.

SUGAR FROM MILK. FarmcrM May Get Kich if the New Pro cess Materializes. West Chester, Pa., Jan. 18.—It has been ascertained that a peculiar quality of sngar, extracted from the whey of milk, can be used for medicinal pur poses, and made to realize a price which would double the present market value of the milk produced. The Fairinount Creamery association of upper Uwchlan township, Chester county, has conducted a series of experi ments with alleged wonderful results, and has sent a committee to visit chem ists in New York and Philadelphia with a view to extending the scope of the in vestigations. The keenest interest is manifested hereabouts in the outcome of the move ment, which, if successful, will no doubt give a tremendous boom to the milk in dustry of the country. FISHERY COURTESIES. Canada Giants IVrmi.Mlon to an American Vessel to lluy Supplies. Ottawa, Jan. 13.—Minister of Cus toms Bowell received an application on behalf of an American fishing schooner in distress for permission to run into Gusboro, N. S., for supplies anti repairs. The request was immediately granted. Mr. Bowell said that lie believed every possible concession should be made to United States vessels where the vosted rights of tiie dominion were not in fringed upon. “Wo want to live on friendly terms with our neighbors,” he said, “and not in a constant state of irritation and re taliation.” Mr. Bowell is strongly in favor of the continuance of the modus vivendi, which he believes would be a fair settlement of the fishery question. RHODE ISLAND AND CONNECTICUT CollMUine<l Four Million Pound, of Oleo margarine East Year. Norwich, Conn.. Jan. 13.—Notwith standing the Connecticut diarymen and farmers wage implacable war against the oleomargarine and imitation butter maker the year around, the oleomargine man does a thrifty business in the state. In the revenue district of Rhode Island and Connecticut 4,455,257 pounds of oleomargarine was consumed last year. Riiode Island is rather lenient toward the imitation butter men, while Connec ticut farmers will try to induce the pres ent legislature to enact still more rigidly proscriptive statutes against oleomar garine. SKULL AND BRAIN CUT OUT. The Doctors Thought Ho Would Die, but lie in Improving Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 13.—The case of Henry Blankenship, who was struck on the bead in a drunken row on Saturday, k r.roui-iug great interest in the medical profession.

He has since recovered consciousness and is improving steadily. 1l»c Steamer Al»euborn Sunk. Delaware City, Jan. 13.—Tho Alsenborn, plying between Baltimore and New York, was cut down and sunk by field ice in Delaware bay just after leaving the canal. No life was lost. The Alsenborn was a freight boat, and lo loiiged to the General Transportation coinpoiiy, Fred Shriver, president * frURN AS THEY GO. I'he lanital* Reoouiu Desperate and the Torch li Applied. Pine Übmk, Jan. 13.—The returning hostiles wore only four miles from the agency Sunday night. Superintendent Dougherty says they are burning everything in their way ou their march to the agency. Flames from burning cabins and hay stacks have been seen, and volley# of musketry are often heard. Col. Corbin thinks there has been a skirmish between Capt. Wells’s troops and the #a ages. A panic has seized the half-breeds and squawmei here, and they are hurrying their fami.es to the railroad station. A renegi de came from the hostile camp Sunday, and says the medicine men are making medicine which will re duce the effect of a rifle bullet to a blue spot uo th skin, and that the savages have sworn not to surrender their guns. The coming of the hostiles, and the uneasiness among the friendlies is caus ing apprehension. Gen. Brooks's command is close be hiud tho hostile#, and Gen. Carr is press ing him closer every hour. How Red Cloud £»cap«mL Before Lieut, Casey was killed, Red Cloud says lie did everything in his power to save the young officer. Young Jack Red Cloud says he fired five shots at the murderers after the assassination. Later Red Cloud was told of a plot to kill him. His son Jack smuggled him out of the camp, and then his daughter took him by the hand and led him on foot tlm ugh the snow over eighteen miles of wretched country to the agency. Rod Cloud is very blind. Without his daughters help, ho would certainly have lost his v ay and perished in the blizzard. Twice huriug the fight Brules tired at him. Ift-d Cloud ami iiis daughter lay down in the snow until the firing ceased. When young Jack Rod Cloud came into ihe agei cy, he brought with him one of Lieut. Casey’s revolvers. The other lad been stolen. Lieut. Casey's watch anil a portion of his uniform w T ere also taken by the murderers. The Ikx.lv has bee. sent to Rhode Island for burial. Elko.

McMilleu says 200 Indians are holding a ghost dance in Star valley,and the sitvyition is thieatening. COTTON REPORT. to Tills Statement, Previous Have Iteen Broken. Mephuis, Jan. 13.—Messrs. Hill, Fon taine & Co., in their regular monthly cotton report, say: “The yield was cut siiort within the dis(riag ./ the unprecedented si>ell of wet weather, which prevailed during the latter half of August and all of Septein l>er. Notwithstanding this, receipts at Memphis will break all previous records and approximate 725,000 bales. “The picking season has closed in every state, and our estimate of the total yield of tho country is herewith given. The figures are tho result of numerous letters of inquiry sent out Dec. 20, to all sections of the south, including tho At lantic states, Louisiana and Texas, and we estimate the yield will be 7,7?3,00G bales. “There has been a general increase re ported from every state as compared with last year’s crop, of 7,313,000 bales. Tennessee, North Carolina and Texas show the largest gains, and these states alone have an increase of two-thirds of the total of 460,t>00 bales which we esti mate the present yield to lie in excess of the past season. “But, it should be borne in mind that last year the cotton crop in many sec tions of Tennessee, North Carolina and in north Alabama was almost a total failure; hence, due allowance should lx* made for the large increased yield which correspondents report. “There is also a mistaken idea regard ing cotton that is being held back. The pressing demand of merchants, and Hie necessities of planters, owing to the stringency of the money market during the past three months, have induced free shipments of the staple, and, while stocks at interior points are somewhat larger than last year, it is a question whether the percentage of the crop yet to come in sight is very much greater than at this same period last year.” DON’T WANT WAR. Tho Quebec Telegraph's Opinion of Cuns diau. on the War (^uention. Quebec, Jan. 13, —The full depth of loyality of the annexation party in Canada may lie gauged by the following editorial remarks of The Quebec Tele graph: Great Bi itain may as well understand that if there is war with the United States it w ill have to do the fighting all alone—at least so far as Canada is con cerned. If we 'understand the views of the people of this country aright they will not fight against their neighbors. They do not believe in taking Yankee gore for the ake of any number of seal skins. Once war was declared, tho Reform party of Canada, would, we Be lieve, declare for annexation to a man; that is, if the Americans Conducted their business prudently, and all this would lx* done without the slightest feel ing of unfriendliness to Great Britain, CHARGED WITH MURDER. E. J. Hendrix and a Woman Arrests.! am! i’ut In Jail. Goshen, Ind., Jan. 13.—Mrs. Frank 8. Calkins anti Dr. Frank J. Hendrix are in jail here charged with murdering Edmund Calkins last April by pushing him overboard from a boat. Calkins was a( one time editor of The Labor Signal, the organ of the Knights of Labor, and bad been married to the woman only three days. She confessed that she and Hendrix planned a boat ride purposely to get rid of her husband: that Hendrix gave her husband drugged liquor before they started, and pushed him overboard. Hendrix was to get half her husband’s property. The Farmers’ Alliance of Indiana will ask the legislature to pa-ss hills prevent ing the adulteration of foods and medi cines; to compel corjiorations to pay 'taxes for special privileges; to confine convict labor to tiie State’s needs, and to repeal the law empowering the hold ing of subsidy elections. COME TO GRIEF. Cr**a, a Dulling Yount; Kent nek lan, Ar rested iu Texas. Memphis, Jan. 13. — Sheriff McLendon received a telegram from United States Marshal Frick, at San Antonio, Texas, announcing tho arrest at that place of John 8. t 'mss, who is wanted litre for forgery and miscellaneous swindling. Cross caiue to Memphis a! suit two ! years ago from Lexington, Ky., where he lias a wealthy family connection. He was about 30 years of ago, handsome and stvlisli, and took with everybody from the start. He had several thousand dollars, and this lie invested in a real es tate agency with V. A. Cordes, under the firm name of Cross & Conies. Cross was tho outside man of the concern, and being a glib talker and a steam engine for energy, lie stain worked up plenty of business ami established a gotsl credit. Nor was be less successful with tho fairer than with the sterner sex. and lie became popular in society. His choice fell upon Miss Hullie Fnires. a handsome young lady of good family, who pos sessed a pretty property in her own right, anil they wore married. All went well with them seemingly until early Inst spring, when it began to be whispered that Cross was a “high roller,” and was becoming involved. lie would lack liis judgment with large stakes at almost any game, hut liis spe cialty was the races. They failed to coine his way during the last Memphis spring meeting, and he tried to get oven later on in tiie season by trying to name the winners in a local }xiol room. Here, too, luck was against lim. In one week lie dropjied $4,001) in this way, besides smaller amounts at games of chanceH. Btill his losses were not generally known, and ids credit was not seriously impaired. On May 6, Cross left town, ostensibly to get money enough to square himself from his family in Keutuck. lie did not return or write, and suspicion lieing aroused, his affairs were investigated. It wits then discovered that ho had swindled customers of the firm out of several thousand dollars by failing to turn in rents and the proceeds of prop erty sold. He owed the banks SIO,OOO, itntl was in debt to numbers of people for borrowed money. In addition to these obligations, it appeared that Cross had ! forged tiie indorsement of \V. A. Fairos, | liis wife's uncle, on Hinall notes which he had discounted in tiie city, and hud ap propriated a considerable sum of money j given him by F;tires to invest for him in ; real estate. Nothing was known of! Cross’ whereabouts until two months! ago. when lie was heard of at Sun An tonio. Marshal Frick was put on tho lookout for him, and the result was liis arrest as stated. Cross' shortage hero is placed at $30,- 000, Sheriff McLendon will go to San Antonio and bring liitn Lick hero for trial. DEMPSF.Y-FITZSIMMONS. 11,.11.

' liONDON,J,ui.l2.—The rigiyiS, still continues, and the Bi*- ? the working classts, cans weeks of frost luid snow, lit to’Tot, . terrible proportions. Iu London alone, | it is believed, there are nearly 200,000 | men without work, and every city in the i kingdom reports u proportionate num ber. Most of the local authorities have lamentably failed in their duty toward the suffering poor, and private charity, j although given every where in geueiuua measure, has proved sadly inadequate, owing to the tremendous magnitude of the evil. The Socialist agitators never had more promising material for their purposes, and they ore seeking to utilize it to tiie fullest, extent. The government has received informa tion which proves that the agitators have for weeks past been busily engaged among the poor people, inciting them to violence. Starving men are told of the abundance, wealth and the aliouudiug luxury in the West End, and are urged to seize forcibly that which they will never obtain by quiescent suffering. The agitators have not so far met with much success, partly on account of tho inherent ordiliness of tho liritish workmen and partly liecause there is not one among these sinister mentors who has had the courage to risk a broken skull by head ing the westward march. Hut the [Hovers that he are undeniably alarmed, and are quietly- taking elabo rate precautions for tho preservation of the public peace. They have never quite recovered from the panic into which they were thrown a few years ago when the mob marched from Trafalgar square along tho West End thoroughfares smashing and looting for a full hour al most without hindrance. Such an op portunity is not likely to lie given again to tho revolutionists. At the present moment soldiers and policemen could be massed in great force at any threatened j toil it within live minutes of (irst alarm, and the knowledge of this fact explains the cowardice of tho agitators. There have been scores of meetings of the unemployed, and careful organiza tion is proved by the presence of at least one Socialist orator. Flags and revolu tionary emblems were plenty, and each meeting gathered round u banner lieur ing this inscription: ■'We demand the right to labor, und don’t intend to starve.” The distress in some provincial towns is said to lie greater than in London, and ' not infrequently aggravated by peculiar local circumstances. At Newoastle-on-Tyne, for instance, there are said to be “four miles of under ground dwellings with dripping wet i walls, places into which the light never comes except when tiltered through a dark medium,” in which live working men ami their families. If British workingmen made of their troubles a political question, they would doubtless obtain prompt and generous help, judged by what is occurring in Ireland. MURDER WILL OUT.

LaOrange, (ia., Jan. 10.—During the 1 month of December, Mr. Boyd, of this! county, employed a boy to cut down one of the giant oaks in the grove at his place, known as the Cline place, for tire-1 wood. In the center of the tree, about four feet from the ground, was found a fresh hen’s egg, embedded in the solid wood, there Iming no hollow or hole of any kind that the eyos of the astonished beholders could discern, for any one to place the egg—only space enough to hold it, as a bullet mould holds the bullet when dosed. The tree was a little dotted around the egg. Now who can solve the wonderful freak ? STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. llie Old Historic Oak on Ouel Island Splintered by tho Bolt.

Bor iron is not a circumstance in the volume of iron and steel made in other shapes, and the basis is not regarded ad an average one. Kkdp iron is made in large quantities, and by some is regarded as a fair basis. Sheet iron is another specialty upon which many would like to see the scale based. The committee has been engaged for the last two or three weeks gathering information on tho actual selling price of the various kinds of iron and steel, and comparison of these figures will lie made, ami it will be ascertained if the present calculation permits of any manipulation iu favor of the firms. Prices in all branches of the market have been shoved down to almost cost, and it is thought by the most conserva tive members of the association that no advantage will bo gained by making tho change. The latest market rejKirt shows bar iron to lie selling at from $27.50 to S2B, which is uliout as healthy a condition as that product Ims been in for some time, while tho market for manufactured iron is in an uneasy state; tho price of steel billets is the lowest on record at present, and the stoel rail business is in an unsat isiactory condition. There lias been no improvement in the pig iron market, while the manufactured iron and stoel market is simply dull. Some of tho meu recognized these facts, and, upon their authority, it is stated, there wdl lie no effort made to secure an increase in wages this year. MEMBERS DISSATISFIED.

Harrisburo, Jan. 13.—The represent atives of the liquor interests in the state have prepared a bill, which will be intro duced in the legislature at an early day, providing for the reduction of the license fee to S3OO. Representative Stewart, of Allegheny, in sjieaking of this move, said: “If the liquor men are wise they will keep the bill where nobody can see it.
