The excitement then grew intense. The
hall was veil filled with people and nil
attempts to be heard were of no avail. As
soon ai order was restored Mr. Brandtsaid,
in n most excited manner, that he wanted
to put Mr. Anderson and others on record;
thnt the gentleman (Anderson) had been'
made to bend his hack at the artesian well
upon a former occasion and would hare to
do the same thing again. He wanted the
democracy of certain members of the com
mittee tested, so that the people could see
how thin ’was the covering of democracy
upon certain of them.
Judge Anderson got up, his face as red
ns the famous bandana, and denied that
Ins back had ever been bent hy the action
of the people at the artesian well or any
where else.
Mr. Brandt answered that the gentleman
had, upon a former occasion,voted against
primaries, and that when he saw that the
people were solidly for primaries he had
gone into a second meeting of the execu
tive <*tmi inittee mill hv liis vote aiili li ill
reversing the action ol the committee in
favor of holding a mass meeting. This
was what be meant by the gentleman (An-
dtrson) turning his back. Mr. Brandt
handed, or offered to hand to Chairman
Culberson, the following circular, to be
rend, which the chairman refused to con-
side-.
“To the prohibitionist*of Fultoncounty:
To day the so-called ‘organized democracy’
ot this county are holding a primary elec
tion, the result of which is most likely to
be the ratification of selections already
made by the ‘M. A. B.’ anti-prohibition
secret junto of this city and county The
question ot every prohibitionist of prin
ciple and self-loyalty to determine is
whether they will he used thus to confirm
the purposes of the liquor conspiracy iu
our midst.
“Will you vote in this primary and
thereby bind yourself to vote at the regu
lar election for men who may not represent
your principles or desires? Do you not
know that, in Fulton county, local option
means free whisky?
“keep away
from the polls and Hold yourself free and
untrameled to act with those who intend
to put into the field a ticket of solid, un
compromising prohibitionists. Wait for
that ticket, don’t be mortgaged to your en
emies.”
ADJOURNMENT voted.
W. H. Brotherton moved to adjourn
subject to the call of the chairman.
Several members of the committee arose
to nuke resolutions.
Mr. Brotherton insisted upon his mo-
tion^but afterwards allowed W. B. Brown
to ask the chairman of the committee a
question.
Mr. Brown stated that lie was one of
the managers of the primary; lie had his
ballot box. and the returns of his precinct,
and wapted to know what he should do
with his outfit.
The chairman refused to give the infor
mation sskeil for, and Mr. Brotherton, in
a iim-t manner jumped up ar.ii in-
sited upon his motion being put.
The motion was put ana the' meeting
adjourned.
Amid much exciiement Mr. Brown
yelled: “Let all the managers hold on to
their ballot-boxes and their returns!”
After the meeting some of the managers
left their returns with Ordinary Calhoun
for safe keeping, while others carried their
returns home with them.
Certain portions of the proceedings were
stormy and sensational. Duringjthe session
it was developed that, with the exception
of Brotherton. all the members of the com
mittee had voted in the primary, the
action of which had been set aside hv a
vote of 11 to 0. The eleven vote* recorded
above represent the moat extreme prohibi
tionists in the city, who are for the prohi
bition cause first, last and all the time.
UO YOU HfAMMEIt?
ir so, Hero 1» a New uml Pleasant Way to
Cure it.
From the Boston Ilera’d.
Pauline Hall, the handsome, bouncing
and always merry comic opera singer,
used to drive a chariot in the hippodrome
race* of a circus, says the New York Sun.
Perhaps that gavehcr a liking for unusual
vehicles. Anyhow, she has taken to a
bicycle. It is not a tricycle, such ns
voung women commonly use, but a genuine
bicycle, although arranged as to its scat so
that, while she rides astride, it is still pos
sible ior her to wear conventional skirts.
It is Pauline Hall who has what she
savs ia a sure cure for stammering and
stuttering. “The principle of it may be
original,” she says, "for it ia essentially the
same as the whistling remedy. Stammer
ers who can’t get through a sentence in
anv other way, you know, can often suc
ceed fairly hy giving a short whistle after
eve y word. That seems to somehow
steady their vocal nerves, and I have
heard that the same effect, in some cases,
can be produced by merely tapping the
floor with the foot, or making any other
regular movement between the words.
Well, one night I saw a chorus girl stand
ing in a seciuuvd coiner behind t«c scenes
holding the hand of a young stage c.ir-
penter. I always like to have tun with
enamored people, and so I bonne. .1 upon
them unawares. I expected thoi Ui-y
would get apart in a bnrry, but wr iter f
them budged an inch. The girl di-in i even
blush. She held to the fellows hand,
while he went on ssving something to liet.
I knew that he was a dreadful stammerer.
“ ‘You seem to be glib with her, I said.
“ ‘Because I am curing him, the youag
woman answereJ for him.
“Then she explained her system. It
consisted in gently hut firmly squeezing
the hand between words. The remedy
seemed tobe very effective in that instance
and io I have since recommended it to all
the stammerers I have com* across. Talk
about a medicine so palatable that chil
dren cry for it! Why, I imagine that if
what I am telling you gets into print,
stammering will become so widespread
amongyoung fellows that we shall have to
call it an epidemic ”

New YORK, Sept. 15.—Hubbard, Price &
Co.'s cotton circular to-day says: Liverpool
cables this morning reported that the market
waS partially one point up, but our. prices at
the opening were little influenced thereby.
But nett features of interest have pre
sented themselves, and the advance which
oocurred toward the (ind of th f e ‘ ^erfsidh was
the result of some orders from the south to
buy October. Raiiis in South Carolina are
rejwrted again, and if thpy become general
the outlook in that state will be very dis
couraging. The of the Jnu-Uh #do-
ment from the exchange to-day curtailed the
volume of ^business. In consequence of ocean
freights from New York, cotton is being
shipped to Norfolk to be compressed and be
shipped thence. .
CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
Range of ttie Day's Business ill the Grain
ami Provision Piu.
Chicago, Sept. 15.—There was less guess
ing in wheat to-duy and prices advanced
about 1 x /i cents on a good active market. Tp
begin with, early board cables gave futures
higher on the other side. It also appeared
that foreign markets had hot declined with
ours, and tvere quite prompt to respond to
any upward movement. The sentiment of
trade here and elsewhere Was ihiich improved
on the buying side since last night. Heavy
scalpers who held on yesterday, easily took
profits on their Friday purchases to-day. The
market was remarkably free from depres
sions on realizing. There was nothing iu
statistics or crop movements to add much to
the strength. The best item on the bull side
was a falling off in receipts at Interior points!
Wheat closed firm at the outside point of to
day, with December about % cent higher for
the day.
Receipt* of corn were not up to the esti
mate, and w ith the change of feeling in w heat
and provisions, there was alio a stronger feel
ing in corn. Futures opened % cent over
the close and sold about % cent higher
during the morning. About noon there was
a reaction to last night’s prices, but another
little bulge before iue close left prices V\ cent
higher.
Oats were dull anuweak but there was a
decline and May sold a little better.
It was a strong market for provisions.
Pork opened at about lost night’s closing
figure*, l»vt advanced per barrel, closing
at about the top prices. There was some
talk of manipulation in lard, which was ad
vanced 10 to 27)4 cent*, the outside for Oc
tober, closing at best figures of the day.
Ribs closed for October and January at a
2%n5 cents advance.
There was no afternoon session.
NEW YORK STOCK BOARD.
Character and Extent of Uuniueifi Done in
Listed Stocks Yesterday.
New York, Sept. 15.—Tlic stock market
was active only for grangers to-day, while
the rest of the list showed very moderate
busioesi, but everything, without exception*
was weak and prices are still lower this
evening.
Many brokers expected somesort of a reac
tion this morning, but traders and Chicago
homes hammered grangers from the start,
which, yielding very freely, carried the en
tire list down with them. The first prices
were from % to % below last evening's fig
ures, and fit. Paul went down with a run,
losing 1 per cent, in the first five minutes,
and its decline was not checked until near
11 o’clock, when it had yielded 3K per
cent from it* opeoing prices. The preferred
stock in the same time lost per cent,
and Northwestern, which had been* compar
atively well held, only 1 per cent., ami Man
hattan lost over a point, but the market then
rallied, new buying being started at low fig
ure*. Prices in the general list, however,
continued to yield slowly until toward the
close, when everything rallied, a fractional
improvement from the lowest prices which
extended to everything traded in was made.
London, which had been a prominent seller
of bothdL Paul and Reading, then became a
buyer and the market finally closed quiet
it ii ■ I linn.
The total business of the day was 195,000
shares. The final losses are marked in many
cases and Bt, Paul* declined 3K» preferred
2%, Omaha and Northwestern 1 Canada
Southern, Jersey Central, Lake Erie and
Western preferred, and Northern Pacific
preferred, each 1 per cent, and others frac
tional amounts.
