A MEETING TO FOItSI THE PLAN Will Be Held In the Big Western City —The Representatives of Southern Railroads Are Kot Behind the Scheme. Chicago, June 15.—A meeting of rail road men and Southern planters will be held In this city July 10 to discuss a plan for forming a produce exchange to be conducted something on the plan of the board of trade. It the present Ideas are carried out this city may become the fruit and vegetable center of the country. The commission men on South Water street are backward about the scheme, but Southern railroad men now In the city declare that the opposition will not last long, and that the time Is close at hand when watermelons and other Southern produce will be sold and dealt in here just as grain on the Board of Trade. President Brown of the Augusta Southern railroad, one of the South erners, Is anxious for the exchange movement to go through. He says the commission men stood aghast when he nsked them to pay cash for 1,000 car loads of melons, twenty pounds each at 9 cents a pound. Melons, they said, were cheap enough delivered in Chi cago at that price July 4, but they had always sold, on commission. They guaranteed a sale for the mel ons. and they are liable to Inaugurate a new plan by starting an exchange. BESCUED PROM THE MOB. But Hanged Himself In His Cell at the Police Station. Cincinnati, Ohio, June 15.—An Infu riated mob chased a man down John stret this afternoon and created ex citement. He was Jacob Straek ,a clgarmaker, 55 yt ,*s old, who lived at No. 758 Plum street.

Is here trying to save the credit of their city and disclaiming any Intention of repudiating Its financial obligations. “Many of the reports concerning the affairs of Birmingham have," the committee state, "been misleading. The funded debt of the city is 21,700,- 000 and there has been no default of Interest on Its bonds. But a provision In the state constitution prevents the levying of a tax rate higher than fifty on ono hundred dollars, and It is not sufficient to maintain our modern Im provements. "Coupled with this advantage, the city has suffered In common with other places from a heavy depreciation In values ns a consequence of the busi ness depression of the last two years. Handicapped by these difficulties Birmingham Is deprived of the means of paying Interest at the times and In the amounts provided In the bonds. The city Is able and willing to pay part of the .Interest when It becomes due, and we are here for the purpose of as- spring bondholders of that willingness and to negotiate for a slight extension of ,tlme for the payment of tho bal- nip." One-half of the bonds are held Baltimore, and a meeting of the hold ers will be held next Monday. An ef fort wp* be made by the Birmingham nuthoi icies to have the constitutional limitation on the rate of taxation re pealed. COULD NOT AGREE.

F. Riley, pro fessor of languages, and the affair has been the talk of tho city and campus since yesterday morning, at which time tho matter leaked out. Just wher It will end the good Lord only knows. It Is one of the most sensational events which has trans pired In the university for a long ■while and Is deeply regretted by the friends of the gentlemen, who are the recognized heads of the grand old In stitution. . For some time past the very best of feelings have not existed between Chancellor Boggs and Dr. Riley. Only a few days ago the gentlemen had a little set-to, which was exceed ingly warm for a while, and Dr. Riley Informed the chancellor that he did not truckle to any man and wa3 thoroughly Independent In every re spect; that ho was pulling the wrong cat's tall and rubbing the fur tho wrong way. It Is said that the chan cellor apologized fp Dr. Riley. On the surface everything was working har moniously a/ j satisfactorily between the two geriviemen. but to a few w'/.o were on the Inside track thl3 was known not to be the f'.se by any means, and when the bdard of visitors met about the first thing they did was to go into an Investigation as to the competency of Dr. Riley. This inves tigation was kifown to only a few at first, but soon it leaked out, and there was some hot language used by the friends of the gentleman. The question as to his fitness for the position has been sprung before. Several students—and no one knows Just who furnished name3—were sum moned before the committee to tes tify as to the competency or lncom- petency of Dr. Riley. According to reports, they said he was totally in competent. entirely unfitted for the position. Dr. Riley was called before the body. They asked a number of questions, and said that he must sub ject himself to an examination. Tho profesor politely but positively told them that he recognized only the board of trustees when It came to a qestlon of examination; that If the trustees wished to examine him he would gladly submit, but he would net submit to anything of the kind from them. And the examination was riot held. The doctor's assistant was called to-the bar and asked a number of questions. Dr. Rilby Is one of the most highly esteemed gentlemen connected with the university. Since coming to Ath : ens he has gotten thoroughly in touch with her people and Is well liked by all. He takes an active Interest In all matters tending toward the good 6t the city, and when It became known that this fight was being waged on him general expreslons of regret' were heard on all sides, and scores of our very best citizens sought different members of the trustees and begged that they look carefully Into the mat ter before taking action on any report the board of visitors might make re garding Dr. Riley. Dr. Riley has but little to say and la taking matters quietly. And now comes the second chapter. Ther has for some time past been rumors to the effect that efforts would be made to oust Chancellor Boggs. The first ball was set rolling yesterday when a member of the board of vis itors visited a gentleman at his offico and asked to be given a letter which he has In his possession and which was written by the chancellor. It was not turned over to tho gentleman, but Its contents were made known, and It will be produced later on If the board wishes It. Just where the light ning will strike cannot be determined. Tho board of trustees were told that Dr. Riley was very unpopular In Ath ena. A paper refuting this Is being signed by the people of Athens gen erally. The fight Is on heavy and racy developments will show up by Wednesday. Hat Been Fully Oemoiufratecl by Frank Heard and Trmtnrr Donnabue— Failed tile llom, It ll Thought, Frevlouily to Lote Cast* NOT SO CONFIDENT. The Free Sliver Candidate In Kentucy Is Getting Frightened. Louisville, June 16.—Precinct conven tions were held all over Kentucky to day to nominate delegates to tho coun ty convention Monday, which will In turn select delegates to the'state con vention at Louisville Juno 25. The contest was everywhere hot, even In the Republican counties In the mountains. The fight on the currency question was closely drawn and declarations were made In many precincts. From present Indications the currency fight will be exceedingly - warm and spir it.-if In the state convention. Efforts to keep the currency question out of the fight are being made, as It Is feared it will cause a split In the party and give the state to the Re publicans. Gen. H. W, Hardin seems to have the call for the nomination for governor over C. M. Clay, Jr., but both are confident tonight. Gen. Har din has been very prononunced for free silver, but It Is now thought he will not be so aggressive, fearing dam aging results. Lieutenant-Governor Alford, the sound money candidate, can hardly be nominated except In the case of a dead lock between Hardin and Clay, which the currency issue may bring about. FELL .150 FEET. Austin, Tex., June 16.—While trim ming lights on a 150-foot electric tower. Trimmer Bert Searlght this morning became dizzy and fell 150 feet to the ground. He struck on his head, dying Instantly. " Sheepshead Bay, L. I„ June 15.—The twelfth suburban handicap was won by Lazzarone at Sheepshead Bay to day' In the presence of 16,^00 specta tors. : Domino, the one to two favorite, failed at the distance and finished fourth, LazZarone's victory was too thrill ing, a. reversal of form to gain popular approyal. It was decidedly In lino with lil3 performance In the Brooklyn han dicap! He has started twice at Grave send since he ran second to Horn pipe for the Brooklyn handicap. In neither case did he show speed or staying power. A few suspiciously Inclined persons refused to believe that his form was true. His race today proved that they were right. Hod he dono his level best on Ills two previous races he would have been supported to beat Sir Wal ter today. The stewards of the meeting had an Informal discussion as to Lazzaronc's performances. Nothing definite was done, but it is mole than likely that the’matter will be placed In the hands of the Jockey Club for action. A thor ough Investigation will bo made, and the owner, trainer and jockey will have to explain the horse's wretched races ot Gravesend. Lazzarone' runs In the name of ttt- Erie Stables. Frank Beard owns thof Vse, and W. Dono hue trains him. V In bis throe previous races Ike. Mur phy l-ode him. Hamilton piloted him todaj1 The field of six were dispatch- _ Without unnecessary delay. Declare wore'hlmsclf out cutting out the work for the first half mile. Ho then yielded first place to Sir Walter, who took a decisive lead and piloted the field to with lfi a sixteenth of the finishing line. ”, 1 Lazzarone, who had taken matters very easily all the way, then chal lenged him. A brief struggle ensued. Aftgr a little urging Lazzarone came away from Sir Walter, and won well within liimssif by a length and a half. Sir Walter was game to the last gasp. He struggled nobly, but was un able to glvd eleven pounds to Lazza- rdne, lie had-to be content with sec ond p’uee. Song and Dance came stjong at the finish and wrested third money from Domino. Domino ran a wretched race. He was in hopeless difficulty before thsy had gone a mile. Taral kept him un der a stout, pull until the far turn was reached. Ho then tried to close up on Sir Walter but Domino waB not equal (to the task. His race was al most a repetition of the three-cornered special at the Morris Park track fall meeting, when Henry of Navarre and Clifford beat him. It established one fact, and that Is that Domino Is a sprinter, pure and simple. The bookmakers wero hard hit. The odds against Domino were too short to suit the average better, and Sir Walter was backed to get the place, and Domino was ignored. A select few loaded every big book up with Lazza rone commissions. . They got from 20 to 1 to 10 to 1. It Is estimated that Beard and his confreres won several fortunes. ■ pin could havo been heard to fall as Lazzarone swept past the. wire. Rubicon ran strictly In accordance with his latest Gravesend form. Ho Is not at his best by any means, so far tills season. The twelfth suburban will live long In the history of the turf, even though the Bcandal blows over, ns one of thl pooreBt over ran. The field was till smallest and the calibre of the hors'-s engaged was of the lowest pi Bible description. The 'weather weft delightful. Fourth Race—The Suburban handi cap; handicap sweepstakes of 3100 each, with 25,000 additional; mile und a quarter. Lazzarone, 115 (Hamilton), 10 to 1, won by a length and a half; Sir Walter, 126 (Doggett), 6 to 1, sec ond; Song and Dance, 103 (Griffin), 10 to I. third. Time. 2:07 4-5.

Dublin, Ga., June 15.—(Special.)—At high noon today J, A. Peacock shot H. F. Edwards, the ball taking!'effect In tho neck. Tho wound may prove fa tal. Tho difficulty arose over an account. Edwards, it seems, was at Peacock’s place of business this morning and en- deavored to creato a disturbance. Mr. Peacock requested him to leave the house as he did not wish to have any difficulty with him. After some delay Mr. Edwards departed to his store on Jackson street. 4 It was thought that the difficulty was settled until Mr. Poacook appeared on the street on hlB way to dinner,’ when In front of Tarpley and Kcllam's drug Btore Mr. Edwards crossed tho street and assaulted him, striking him three times In the face whereupon Mr. Peacock shot with tho above results. Mr/ J. M. Everett was struck by a stray bullet. Inflicting a slight flesh wound. Mr. Peacock Is a prominent citizen of Dublin and well known throughout the state. For years he was editor of the Post, but more recently with the Courier, having severed connection with tho paper but a few weeks ago. Mr. Edwards Is proprietor of a mark et and has only, been In Dublin a few months. He came here from Jackeon, Ga. Mr. Feacook gave himself up to the officers, but waived committal and gave bond. Excitement Is at fever heat. Edwards Is sinking fast and the at tending physicians have about given up all hope of his recovery.

Tlfton, June 16.—(Special.)—The fruit crop In this section Is all that could be wished for. Peach trees two and three years old are so full that they are being- propped up to keep them from breaking. Grapes hang In an almost solid mass from the top of the vines to the ground. Plum trees two years old are breaking down with fruit and every thing In the fruit and vogtablo lino is bearing lit the same ratio. The Alexander was the first peach to ripen the crop Is about mar* keted. Many* growers and commission men I^om throughout the country have been here whjle they havo been ripening and evxry one who has seen them pronounce Khan, far superior in size, flavor and co*. r to any Alexan* ders they have ever c«vn Tlfton broke tho record this year by shipping the flrxf cay from the state and the first car of Alexanders ever shipped from Georgia. This car was shipped on the 6th of June and sold in New York on the 10th a fancy prices. The next variety to ripen will be the early Michigan, which wil f market within ten days, but the prin cipal variety, and tho peach that H the admiration of the whole couatry and has made Georgia famous as tbe home of the peach, Is tho Siberia. This queen of all peaches will com mence to ripen about July 1st and will be marketed by the 6th. There Is no peach grown on the globe that will excel the Elbcrta, and no section In the world grows It as suc cessfully as Tifton. The growern ot Tlfton have a fortune this year In the Elberta crop alone. Great preparations are being made for the midsummer fruit fair to be held from July 10th to 12th, besides the thousands of visitors from the state who are expected.

Tlfton may not be able to keep * continuous display at the Peach Cer- nival at Macon, from the fact that It is their busiest season, but she v b doubtless do her part and do It well Atlanta, June 16.—(Special.)—Miss Mary McNaught, the young lady type writer in the office of Internal Reve nue Agent Chapman, who lias been a prominent factor in the row between Col. Chapman and Hon. Paul Tram- mol, the collector of internal revenue, is still holding down, lifer position, al though there appears to be a myste rious uncertainty about her tenure of office. Both Col. Chapman and Collector Trammel are mutes when she* Is re- ferred to. Neither will dls&.'ss the mat ter, although it Is quite evident that It is a very Interesting subject to both. Mr. Trammel got back from Wash ington. where ho and Col. Chapman have been trying to have It out with each other with Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller as referee, for tho .past week, and Col. Chapman and As sistant District Attorney Rucker, who was summoned there as a witness, reached home this morning. All wero In their offices as usual, but It. was no ticeable that the door conecting tho offices of Messrs. Trammel and Chup- man, which has been kept open for convenience sako heretofore, was tightly shut today, despite the exces sive heat. . This would Indicate that the two of ficials are still at loggerheads, unwill ing to live in peace and harmony to gether as heretofore, although acqui escing! In tho settlement of their dis putes as laid down by tho Washing ton authorities. Both, however, say they are satisfied, and that all differ ences have been adjusted. Mr. Trammel is evidently better sat isfied than Col. Chapman. In fact, it is understood that i*c Is decidedly on top In the row at the present stage. To day he appointed ex-State Senator McAfoe of Canton to tho position va cated by Deputy Heathcririgton at his request last week. Miss McNaught'a position will also be filled by another Vtry shortly, although when asked about her today Col. Chapman replied: “You see, she Is still at work here, don't you? If you desire anything fur ther you might see Mr. Trammel.” Mr. Trammel, however, preferred not to commit himself, but Is anxious to shelve the sensational reports about the trouble with Col. Chapman. TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. The Annual Meeting at Cumberland Will Be Interesting.
