701,000 bales. o«f which 91.000 were on
chipboard. Of b10,000 retraining ln>
presses at the port*, we estimate 60,000
*o!d and In procen of dbtpment, teftv-
‘lng, therefore, albout 650,000 unsold. Of
this amount New Yortt has 232,000,
which Is practically .off the market, n«
It l® held agttirnat contract*. About
50,000 of Sew Orleans stock Is also
held against contracts out of their
*toek of 164.000, leaving only 114,000.
Therefore, if we take from the total
unsold amount at the ports last night
the New York stock and the 50,000 of
New .Orleans , there te available for
export In the United States ports 268,.
000, Of course the difference of 282,000
at New York and New Orleans will be
exported or taken by Northen mills
later, but It Is not for sale until It
ha s served Its b.inklng purpose, which
will not be until August or September,
and a great deal of It may be even
carried over Into next season. Port
stocks carried over from the previous
crop on September last were 243,000
bales. From tilila time on ahe exports
will naturally be larger tiha the re-
cetpnts. WhHt the latter are to be.
actual or compared with last year, is
what the bulls and bear® are now most
concerned about. Storks at thirty-one
lea din* points reported by the Chron
icle Weekly were 218,000 bale® last
night against 233.000 last year, of which
s considerable portion will be needed
bv Southern mills, and of which a good
deal bos been sold awaiting shipment.
WL.it rmy come Into night at the in
terior, the ovejignd movement, and
ScMth^rn consumption from now until
September 1. either actually or compar
atively. is aim a matter of derided I-
tere*»t In ennbKrvg longs and shorts to
determine the near or diktat oours* of
prices. Atwood. Vtolett A Co.
SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
New York, April li.—Cotton advanced
1 to 5 points and closed firm; sales 37,700.
Liverpool declined % to 1 point, closing
steady; 8,000 bales sold on the spot at
easier but unchanged prices. New Or-
leann is 4 to 6 points higher. The re
ceipts there on Monday are estimated
at 1,500 to 2.000 bales, against 3.983 last
Monday and 3.898 last year. The receipts
at the ports were 7,177, against 10,065 this
day last week ana <,»7 i»»t yssr. Spot
cotton here was dull and unchanged;
sales 382 for spinning. Two points favored
the bull* today, namely, the fact that
Liverpool did not respnd to yesterday’s
decline and the further fact that the
receipts at the ports showed a falling
off. To this may be added some new
buying demand from the South and less
pressure to sell. But the market was
too narrow to call for extended notice.
Not In many months have the sales
fallen to so low a point.

COXEY’S ARMY DISORDERED.
The General Is Absent snd Hi* Bubal-
terns Unruly.
Frostburj, Md., April 14.—A revolt In
the ranks of Coxcy's m-my today leaven
the band of peace in a state bordering
on riot. Chief Marshal Browne has been
deposed by the men as marshal of the
"common wm|J.” and the famous "Un
known” Louis Smith Is in full charge.
Gen. Coxey has been absent tor several
days anil does not know of this row.
The affair occurred 1u«t as the army
was entering this town this afternoon
and was the result of Jealousy between*
Browne and Smith.
On leaving Qrantsvllle this morning
the army moved rapidly over the Greet
Meadow mountains on tn the foot of
the Big Savage mountain. According
to the men. the march was made very
laborious by the repeated calls to halt
ordered by Browne, who would at each
sltip address gatherings of mountain
eers. During one of these stops Smith
Inadvertently or(lore<\ the men to march
on. Browne cried out to them to halt
and then arose a war of words between
th* twn chiefs. Browne threatened all
manner of punishment, but Anally
leaped Into Mr. Coxey's chaise and
drove off at a gallop. The army pro
ceeded. snd two miles farther on mot

who supports Smith In his move.
This evening Browne has been wildly
telegraphing to all point* to reach Mr.
Coxey. He refuses to state whether sn
answer has been received, but says ho
will msko a statement later. The men
all ssy that they win not obey Browne
again, as he'Is too officious and bully

army with apprehension snd has made
preparations to get them out at quickly
and safely as possible.

Forsyth, April 15.—(Special.)—Since
the mysterious death of Mr. W. Rum
ble, which occurred on Thursday af
ternoon last near his residence, about
tour miles south of here, every con
ceivable theory ha* been advanced oa
to the cause of the suicide. Mr.* Rum*
ble, familiarly know as "Yank" Rum
ble, was one of the mot prosperous
and popular planters In this county.
He was a genial man. a true friend
and au affectionate father. His friends
and family were horrified at his sadden
and awful death, and no cause can
be assigned for his rash act.
Several days ago Mr. Rumble was
appointed by the Smarr family os one
[of the arbitrators on the Smarr estate.
Rumble performed the duty as
signed him promptly, and satisfac
torily. In connection with this tact It
Is rumored that there was some com
plaint on the part of the heirs as to
the result of the arbitration. Mr. Rum
ble deeply felt the charge brought
against him and grew more melan
choly each day, until he became de
mented over It and resolved to take
his own life. This Is merely a theory,
‘though, and has not been verified.
The Impression prevailed at first that
Mr. Rumble was murdered In an at
tempt to capture a negro criminal that
was supposed to be loitering around
his place, but this theory was soon ex
ploded.
Mr. Rumble was ■ found about 204
yards from his residence In a dense
wood. His head was almost severed
from bis body and near his right
hand, which was bloody, was his razor.
He had only been dead a short while
when found. That the deed was done
by his own hand there Is Jlttle or no
doubt, ana the most mysterious. feat
ure of the sad affair Is the cause which
led to ItT which will perhaps never be
known. The funeral eervlces were held
this morning ut 10 j'clock from .Mr.
Rumble's residence. The services were
Impressively conducted by nev. T. J.
Scott and Reiv McClesky and were at
tended by a vast number of sorrowing
friends or the deceased.
The Young Ladles' Orchestra, which
captured a Macon audience at the
Academy of Music and which <• com
posed of Macon’s most talepted musi
cians, will delight the music-loving
pcaplc cf Forsyth next week. The or
ganization Is said to be one of the best
that the Central City lias ever claimed
as her own, und when they make their
appearance bore they will be greeted
by a large and appreciative Audience.
The performance given at The Col
lege laat evening by the W. F. K.
Society was a decided success. The
play, "The King's Daughters,” was ex
cellently cast and each young lady sus
tained her part admirably. The act
ing of Mima Mattie Watte wax superb
and would have been creditable for a
professional. Altogether th* audience,
which was u large one. wax charmed
with the performance and were profuse
In their praise for the talented W.
F. K's.
Only two legislative aspirants have
made their debut up to date. There Is
a probability, however, that many
others will follow later, and then a
spirited fight will ensue, which will en
liven the public during the long sum
mer months. The two who have an
nounced themselves thus far are Col.
B. S ( Willingham of the law firm of
Cabanlaa A Willingham, and Col. J.
Ponder Carson, a promising'young at
torney of this city. The friends of
Judge W. D. Stone are urging him to
enter the race, but as yet the Judge Is
undecided.
There ard’ Just twelve applicants for
the position of marshal which will be
made vacant when Mr. George W.
Newton Is elected sheriff over bla third
party opponent, Mr. James Fletcher,
which election will take place on the
21th Instant.
One question In whlcS th. citizen, of

present Is the building of a new court
house. The present court house Is .a
reflection upon the county, which Is
one of the most prosperous In the
state. It is said that Patrick Henry
In his patmtset days fired the hearts
of hla countrymen by bis eloquence

house on which Judge Hunt at present
resides. The county commissioners
hare ordered an election to be held
on the 2Sth. which will decide the fate
of the new court house. The Indica
