Bloody Duel In a Slaughter
Pen In Florida.
Q,U0 VADIS IS RECALLED
Raipli Hodge Has a Thrilling Experi
ence With Fierce Steer—seriously
Wounded by Batter’s Horns Before
He Became Victorious.
Tampa, Fla.. July 3.—An enraged
S ' er and a l aw iy man fought a battle
of life er deatn me other morning at the
slaughter pen of D. O. Fulton, on the
bis -Mile road, near Tampa, says The
Tribune. It was such a battle as that
bstweuu the giant Ursus and the bull in
the Roman arena, described so vividly
by bniitieweiz in his masterful ‘-Quo
Yams. ” The battle ended with the
steer dead and the man torn by the mad
animal’s horns and crushed by nis hoofs.
It is not believed that he can recover.
At 10 o’clock the other morning Ralph
Hodge, one of the butchers for D. O.
Ten ■, went into the slaughtering pen
to do ins daily slaying. He swung his
ax heavily at tue head of the biggest
and strongest steer in the bunch, wmch
eodged the blow and made a daeii for
ids intended executioner.
Tiouga is do years old, strong, erect
and muscular, as fine a specimen of
physical manhood as could be found in
a day’s travel. He dropped his ax and
seized the steer by the horns, bat not in

Gib Bo io DECLARED
Dishonorably i >iselm r
Floridu Militia.
Tallahassee, July 3.—F. A. Mac-
Wiliiams, adjutant general, and major
general of Florida troops, has issued tho
findings of the general courtmartial
conveued here on May 20, at wnich sev
eral gofiicers and enlisted men of the
Florida state troops on duty at Jackson
ville during the period of martial law
were tried.
The most important of these was Lieu
tenant G. T. Gibbs of the Tallahassee
company, Company D, who, it was al
leged, went to Raspberry park with a
body of armed men of his company’ and
endeavored to effect the release of two
members of his company, Sergeant Gor
man and Private Acosta, by force.
On the night of the occurrence con
siderable excitement was caused. When
Gibbs ana his party made the demand,
a conflict between them and the police
on guard, it was said, was narrowly
avoided, additional police^ were sum
moned and two companies of state troops
were ordered to the spot in a hurry.
The police lirmly refused to be over
awed by Gibbs and his party and their
prisoners were held.
Gibbs was xound guilty in all of the
specifications and was sentenced to a
dishonorable discharge. Private E. W.
Smith, battalion light artillery, was dis
honorably discharged.
In the other cases the offending mili
tiamen were sentenced to public repri
mands.

GREEKS AND THE &AYN0RS
Two Young 3Ien, Cousins, Are
Victims.
Macon, July 3.—Yesterday afternoon
Gordon Pound of Chattanooga and
Leon Cusson of Macon were drowned
while bathing in the Ocmulgee river at
Lover’s Leap, near the foot of Rose Hill
cemetery, and close by the track of the
Atlanta division of the Southern raii-
wav. They were boys about 14 years
old."
They, with several companions of the
same age, were bathing m the river.
Pound and Cusson were special friends.
Cusson could not swim, ana Pound was
trying to teach him. They were unex
pectedly taken by a swift current into
deep water and went down.
Their companions hastily left the wa
ter, went to the home of young Cusson,
on Cherry street, which was near the
river, and told the news to his mother.
He was the sen of L. G. Cusson of the
MeCaw Manufacturing company.
Gordon Pound was the sou of Jerome
B. Pound, proprietor of the Chattanoo
ga Evening News, and a leading citizen
of that place. He had been in Macon
two weeks visiting his aunt, who was
Miss Mattie Pound, but is now known
as Sister Mary Alloyius at Mt. de Sale
academy, the well known Catholic insti-
tiou.
WANTS A FISH HATCHERY.
Sanford Sends Petition to the Uuilcd
States Fish Commission.
Sanfokp, Fla., July 3.—The Sanford
board of trade held a special meeting
and discussed the location of a govern
ment shad hatchery at Sanford. A res
olution was passed requesting the Hon.
George M. Bowers of the United States
iish commission to establish such a
hatchery and to locate it in Sanford.
The waters of the St. Johns river be
tween Lake Monroe and Lake Harney
are the natural spawning grounds for
shad The spawn is hatched there one
month earlier than at any other grounds
in the United States.
The nearest hatchery is at Alexandria,
Va., and it is a long trip to the south
and west for the cars used for distribut
ing the fish. Sanford, being located
close to the spawning grounds, and hav
ing the best facilities for quick trans
portation to all points, seems to be the
natural location for the shad hatchery.
A copy of the resolution was sent to
the Hon. George M. Bowers at Wash
ington, Hon. J. Y. Detwiler, president
of the iish commission of Florida; Gov
ernor Jennings and to the United States
senators and representatives.
J. H. Stevens of the Piant system was
present at the meeting.

Charged With Swindling the United

Carter, In the Matter of the Im
provement of Savannah Harbor.
Washington, July 2.—The record of
the case of Benjamin D. Greene, John
D. Gaynor, William T. Gayuor and Ed
ward H. Gaynor, charged with enter
ing iuto a combination with Captain
Oberlin M. Carter to defraud the gov
ernment in connection with the im
provement of the harbor at Savannah,
Ga., was filed in the office of the clerk
of the United States supreme court to
day.
The case comes to this court from the
circuit court, southern district of New
York, that court refusing to grant the
application of the persons named for a
writ of habeas corpus, thus confirming
the order for their removal for trial to
the circuit court for the southern dis
trict of Georgia, where they were in
dicted.
In their assignment of errors the peti
tioners allege that the Georgia grand
jury was illegally and improperly drawn
and that therefore the indictment is in
valid.
It is alleged that the Georgia court is
without jurisdiction, and that the in
dictment stares no offense against the
laws of the United States.

Question of Guarantees to the Great
Powers Not Yet Solved—DilFereiic of
Opinion Still Existing Between Rus
sia and Great Britain.
Berlin, July 1.—lYothingis known in
German official circles regarding the
news from Shanghai to the effect that
Kai Fong Fu, in the province of Ho
Nan, is to become the Chinese capital.
The latest reports received here from
Peking reiterate the statement that it is
the court’s intention to return to Peking.
The German government has not been
advised touching the plans of Prince
Chuan further than that he is coming
to Beriia to apologize for Baron You
Kettler’s murder. if Prince Chuan
means to visit other European courts
and Washington, the Berlin authorities
have not been informed!. ,
relation to the present statui of the
Peking diplomatic negotiations, the rep
resentative of the Associated Press
learns upon reliable authority that the
questiou of guarantees of the bonds se
curing the indemnities is still unsolved,
a difference of opinion between Great
Britain and Russia still existing.
Attitude of tlie Powers.
Russia’s proposition is to raise sea
tolls from 5 to 10 per cent, bat only if
the junk and salt taxes with 5 per cent
of sea tolls shall not yield sufficient re
suits.
Great Britain’s objections to the Rus
sian proposition are behoved to be dic
tated less by practical reasons, since the
above would most probably suffice, tl)an
the popular sentiment in Great Britain
and by parliament. The Berlin au
thorities believed also, like the other
powers, that Russia’s proposition is not
likely to go into effect. Hence Ger
many confidently expects a final agree
nient upon the above question.
The matter of the renewal and modi
fication of commercial treaties with
China is for the meanwhile being taken
up jointly by the Peking diplomatists,
since this, like the indemnities matter,
is expected to be settled in unison, at
least in its general features.
Germany, with the other China sea
trading powers, advocates the principle
of the “open door,” the opening of addi
tional harbors and the greatest possible
commercial liberty.
Weil informed circles here believe
Russia does net oppose the above prin
ciple, though she may object to certain
derails when the treaty negotiations are
more advanced.
AMERICANS IN TROUBLE.
The first consideration in our advertis
ing is fairness.
We are here to make a living and a
little bit more. It is fair that you should
know that Wc do not attempt to cover this
fact. A little profit in each sale means a
justifiable profit gleaned from the trade of
many customers.
We seek orders of all kinds—large and
small. Every buyer is treated just like every
other buyer. No matter whether you want
a dollars’ worth or ten thousand dollars’
worth, your order will be welcome and
you will get in every instance the best
that is iu use.
We will meet you halt way in any prop
osition you may make. We will help you
with ideas and suggesrions if you will write
us freely or call and see us.

ICE FAMINE IS IMMINENT.
The Shortage In Kentucky Becoming
Quite Serious.
Louisville, July 2.—The ice shortage
in Louisville and scores of small Ken
tucky towns is getting to be very seri
ous. The decision of local dealers yes
terday to fill no more out-of-town orders
at present, iti order to protect patrons at
home, was followed today by the an
nouncement of two large dealers that
their supply was exhausted. They de
livered during the morning what was
left over from last night, but at 10
o’clock this was gone.
Six carloads had been ordered from
Chicago and Indianapolis, and the two
dealers hoped o make their supply last
till the cars ved. The demand was
too great, ho ,. ver.
There is as vet no great suffering in
Louisviile, owing to the famine, but
dozens of towns out in the state are en
tirely without ice, and there is little
hope for any relief, though orders have
been placed in th9 north for immediate
delivery.
The factories whose machinery broke
down owing to its incessant use are
still crippled, while those still in good
working order are powerless to do any
thing like meet the abnormal demahd.

New York, July 1,—The Journal of
Commerce today says that the condition
of cotton, according to replies received
by the Journal of Commerce and Com

correspondents, show a decrease of
points compared with the June reports
of condition promulgated by the depart
ment of agriculture. Returns from
nearly 100 correspondents have fur

average condition of 77 for the entiro
cotton belt has been obtained. These
correspondents were all r-sked the ques
tion:
“What is the present condition of the
cotton crop in your vicinity, stated in
percentage?”
In order to obtain a uniform value for
the reports in percentage, the following
explanation of a condition of “100” ac
companied the question:
“According to the department of ag
riculture, the basis or unit of compari
son is 100, which is the standard of fall
condition, representing perfect health
fulness. exemption from injury from in
sects or drouth, or other causes, with av
