SALUTE IS FIRED OVER GRAVE OUTLAW PORTER SURRENDERS. ! TAMPA TRADE FLOURISHING. ! More Cigarmskers at Work Than Be fore the Strike. Tampa, F!a.. Jan. 1.—Since the re cent laoor troubles in this city there has been a great deal said about Tam pa and the cigar industry. Many re ports have been sent out from this city stating that the industry had re covered from the effects of it. This is | controverted now in tne most positive | manner. i Vicente Guerra, president of the Manufacturers’ association and gen eral manager of the Cuba-American Manufacturing company, is about the best authority on the business and he is willingly quoted on some statements which refute the calamity stories which have been told about the mat ter. “There are more cigarmakers at work in Tampa today than there were at any time before the strike,” says Mr. Guerra. “Notwithstanding this and in the face of the fact that the holiday ship ments are over, there is absolute de mand for at least '2,000 more cigar- makers, who could get steady work on the best lines of goods if they were here. This number is necessary and the factories need that many more people, so that their product can be somewhere in the neighborhood of the demand to fill orders which are on file.” Reign of Terror In Crawford, Ala., is Now Over. Opelika. Ala., Dec. 31.—After more than a week of terror, bloodshed and disorder the people of Crawford and Russell county can now rest safe, for Uriah Porter, who, it is said, killed Joseph Fincher and carried terror in to many homes in Russell county, is now safe in the Lee county jail in this city. Porter came in yesterday morning and surrendered to Deputy Sheriff John L. Moon, who was formerly chief of police of Phenix City and who has once before arrested him. Porter was accompanied by a Mr. Davis, a friend of his who had Induced him to take the step of surrendering to the officials. After being imprisoned Porter sent fgr Tax Collector Booker, who was a friend of his. When the collector ar rived he had a long talk with nim and was advised that he had done rignt in giving up to the law. Porter claims that he was afraid of a mob was the reason he did not surrender and claims that the accounts of his doings have been greatly exaggerated. Great rejoicing is felt, it is said, in Crawford and Russell county as the state’s highway was not safe while he was at large. Hundreds of people were stirred up over the matter and no one knew what would happen next. TO ESTABLISH LARGE COLONY. BITZEN DID MURDEROUS WORK. Shot Wife, Son, Daughter and Clerk. Two Died.

Plans Formed to Ering 200 or 300 Gor man Families to Georgia.' i Atlanta, Dec. 30.—Final prepara tions are about to be made for the colonization in Georgia of 200 or 300 families of Germans now living in Wisconsin. These plans are being perfected by J. D. Behling, of Wiscon sin; L. C. Behling. of South Carolina, and A. H. Behling, of Atlanta, and before the 1st of March it is expected the work of colonization will have be gun. There are two tracts of land, each of 10,000 acres, under consideration for these colonists, one of them in Georgia on the Southern railway hair way between Atlanta and Columbus, and the other in Colleton county, S. C., not fa” from Charleston. The par ties interested in the colonization scheme have both these tracts under consideration, and while they have not definitely decided which will be used, the chances are in favor of the Geor gia tract, which oiiers the greatest advantages. The proposed colony is not to be on the co-operative plan, but the colo nists will start out eo.cn one for him self, somewhat on the order of the colony established some years ago at Fitzgerald, in Irwin county. This means it will stand much greater chance of success. The only two co operative colonies ever established in Georgia—that at RusKin, in Ware county, and the commonwealth colony near Columbus—proved signal fail ures. NELLIE CROPSEY CASE.

The Misses Battle, Near Washington, Lose $6,000 In Gold. Washington, Ga., Dec. 30.—The Misses Battle, two elderly maiden la dies living at Barnett Junction, Wash ington branch of the Georgia railroad, were robbed at an early hour yester day morning of $6,000 in gold. The robbers entered the house, and the women hearing a noise investi gated. They started through the house with a lighted lamp, coming suddenly upon the burglars. One of the men sudden- ! Iy seized a bucket of water and dashed the contents on the lady holding the lamp. The robbers then escaped. An alarm was quickly raised. When help arrived it was found that the rob bers before leaving had rifled the trunk containing the money. The Misses Battle lived alone in the house. Several previous attempts to rob them have been made during the last few months. A few weeks ago an entrance into the house was effect ed. The trunk was carried out into the yard and broken open, but the robbers failed to get the money. The ladies believe the robbers were white men, claiming to have recog nized one of them. Citizens Say They Have Much Evi dence Against Wilcox. Elizabeth City, N. C., Dec. 31.—The excitement over the Cropsey case is dying out and business is being re sumed. The talk of lynching James Wilcox is heard no longer, the people having decided to permit the law to take its course. The citizens’ committee and Solicitor Ward are collecting evidence | against Wilcox to present to the grand j jury when it meets in March next, j There has been a report for the past ; 24 hours that Wilcox had been re- ! moved to Norfolk, Va„ for safe keep- : ing, the authorities fearing that the ; people would attack the jail. Last i night Sheriff Grandy denied this. Wil- ! cox is still in jail here and the town authorities expect no further trouble. : Solicitor Ward has insisted that Wil- [ cox be given a preliminary hearing Wednesday. Ke was anxious that it should be held yesterday, but E. F. Aydlett, who represents Wilcox, de murred, saying that ne had not had an opportunity to consult with Wil cox’s father, who is ill at his home. It is more than probable that Mr. Aydlett will waive the preliminary hearing and allow the case to go direct to the grand jury. Any attempt to get Wilcox out on bail will be resisted by Solicitor Ward. Chairman Greenleaf and the other members of the citizens’ committee assert that they have much additional evidence of which the public is in ig norance. It is known that one impor tant piece of evidence which the com mittee has is an empty whisky bottle found on the river bank in front of the Cropsey home. A local saloon keeper has identified the bottle as hav ing been sold by him aild has also stated that he sold one like it to Wil cox. Wilcox is still in jail and refuses absolutely to make any statement re garding his conduct on the night Miss Cropsey disappeared. Number of Boers Killed and Wounded Since Dec. 23.

Columbus, O., Dec. 31.—While the friends of both Senator Foraker and Senator Hanna are each now claim-, ing that they have the votes to organ ize the legislature, the truth is that neither side has them, though neither is short more than four" votes of hav 1 ing a majority of the caucus. Repre sentative Willis, of Hardin county,! who is claimed by both sides, but who asserts that he has not placed himself in either column, says there are nine members of the house who have not taken a position and that upon their at-! titude yet to be announced depends the result of the organization in the i house. Every possible influence is be-j ing brought to bear by both factions ! upon these doubtful members, who ad-, mittedly hold the key to the situation. Senator Foraker in a talk over the, telephone with one of his lieutenants here expressed the greatest satisfac tion with the present situation and ap pears to have the utmost confidence f in the final outcome. Senator Han-) na, on the ether hand, is equally con- > fident of the ability of his friends tol organize the house. It is announced here that George B. Cox, of Cincinna-1 ti, will come to Columbus' Friday and . take the field for Price for speaker.! Price is the Foraker candidate. The potent influences behind Price's candi-f dacy are Senator Foraker, Cox, Chas. | L.
