Petroleum Statistics. The total production of crude pe- troleum in lhe United States in 1895 was’52,983,526 barrels, valued at $57,- 090,279, against 49,244,516 barrels in the previous year, valued at $35,522,095. These statistics were compiled for the zoological survey by Expert Joseph F. Weeks. All im¬ portant producing districts shared iu the increase except West Virginia and Now York, which showed slight de¬ creases. Since the beginning of opera¬ tions in Titusviile, Pa., in 1859, the enormous total of 909,713,403 barrels of crude petroleum have been produced in the country of which 516,657,260 barrels represent the products of the Pennsylvania and New York oil fields. ■Government Fays Once Too Often.

Reserve to be Maintained. The gold reserve Monday stood at $89,7.61,336. with withdrawals of $3- 766,300, of which $3,030,000 was for export. The large amount, over $676,- 000, taken presumably for “hoarding” purposes, was regarded by treasury officials as tho unfavorable feature of the day’s transactions. For the past two weeks small amounts of gold for the purpose have been withdrawn, but Monday’s with¬ drawals for that purpose were larger than for any other day this year. A reassnring rumor reached the city to the effect that the New York national hanks have formed a pool and will turn into the treasury $20,000,000 in gold for legal tenders was well received by treasury officials. It was pointed out that they were amply able to do so. Mint Director Preston on July 1st estimated that tbeto was in the United States $598,- 000,000 in gold and by the last report tho national banks of the United States had $179,000,000 and the national banks of New York alone had of this rum $46,000,000. This total has been increased since then and is doubtless now nearly $50,000,000. The administration’s policy to keep the gold reserve up to a point of confi¬ dence has never wavered. This policy, it is stated, will be maintained even if a new bond issue is therefore made necessary. FOUND DEAD IN CAMP. Ex-Govornor Russell, of Massachu¬ setts, Expires Suddenly. A special from Quebec, Quo., says: Ex-Governor William E. Bussell, of Massachusetts, was found dead Thurs¬ day morning in his fishing camp at Aidelaide, near Grand Pabos, Que. He passed through Montreal in the best of health and was thon on his way to the salmon grounds. Governor Bussoll was as well as usgnl when he retired Wednesday night and when he was found dead Thursday morning in his bed rumors of every kind were quickly spread. Ilia camp was immediately surrounded by in¬ quiring friends and only a reassuring word from those who were permitted to gaze upon the dead body of the fa¬ mous young statesman would satisfy the people that the report was really true. The cause of his death is thought to have been heart disease.’ Colonel H. E. Bussell and Colonel Francis Peabody, Jr., who were mem¬ bers of the party, left at noon for Mas¬ sachusetts with the body. Governor Bussell’s death removes one of the most brilliant figures before the American people today. JJe was, in ability, the peer of any man in the country, and public life in all phases will sustain a great loss. ' He was a prominent figure in the recent Chicago convention, and his magnificent defense of the minority report of the platform committee was in line with his other brilliant achieve¬ ments. Ho was an orator of splendid power, and his olear logical thought abd for¬ cible methods of expression have made him a power in tho discussion of pub¬ lic questions. He was only 39 years of ago, having been born a't Cambridge, Muss., iu 1857, ana was one of tho youngest governors in the United States. SLASHING RATES. War Between the Railroads Grows Apace. Seventy-nine cents from New York to Atlanta, Ga., and everything else in line. This is the response of Commissioner H. Baltimore S. Haines into to southern the Seaboard territory. cjiit from It is evidently the purpose of the Southern States Freight Association to crush the Seaboard Air-Line’s life out, or make it cry “Enough.” No quarter is to be shown, and Mr. St. John says he will ask none. Millions of '.dollars of revenue are to be wasted, dividends sacrificed, perhaps interest on bonds defaulted and possibly receiverships invited. , , This war means not only demoraliza¬ tion of rates, freight and passenger, all over the south and west, but it is in¬ ferred from some things that have been said that it means an attack on the great corporations and on the freight association in every legislature from Virginia to Alabama.

A O. at Bristol,-nml will build thy distance to Knoxville and run trains straight through to Atlanta. ~ ,-,..5 Lhe story is thought to be straight, since the agents of the company have bought upward of 200,000 acres of land in Cocke and Sevier counties and- paid cash for it. Newman Erb is said to be the agent of the new. company. Further and later adyipes state that, tho deni has created considerable ex- citement and much speculation. ’ seems that since the reorganization of* the Norfolk and Western road planned the deal has been 'on L'he Norfolk and Western road au option on tho South .^Atlantic Ohio road end the Brisfigl anil Eliza- beth road, both conneetMvjif with Norfolk and Western at Bristol. From tho terminus of the Bristol and Elizabeth will he built an siou south alqug tho I naka range of mountains, rounding it near Newport, crossing the French Broud near Old- tow'n, thence going direct to the Smokies, through Cocke and Sevier counties, until it strikes the old doned surveys of the Tennessee and North Carolina railroad. It will come down that original survey into Knox¬ ville, connecting with the Marietta and North Georgia road, and thence to At¬ lanta. The roadbed of the Tennessee and Carolina read is jiartially completed, being graded from Knoxville to a point above Sevierville. One qf the piers for a bridge to cross the river is also completed. The Norfolk and western people own extensive coal lands in West Virginia, which are reached by their various branch roads, these coal fields being already developed by immense coke ovens in operation. The South Atlantic and Ohio also’ reaches 'degrees coal and iron fields iu various of development, and the Bristol and Elizabethtou road runs through 50,- 000 acres of exhausted lands, from which tho three furnaces at Cranberry, Bristol and Big Stone Gap have drawn their supply of ores. The Norfolk and Western is compelled to find a south¬ ern outlet for the output of their ovens, furnaces and mines, and a road to Atlanta via Knoxville is the solution of the enigma. MONKEYS INDICTED. Strange Proceeding in a Calcutta Law Court. Everybody has heard of the sacred monkeys of Benares and their queer an- tics. There arc three monkeys iu Cal¬ cutta just now enjoying the unique dis¬ tinction (for monkeys) of being under in¬ dictment for larceny. Seven men walked into the Jorabagan thana, a court of General Sessions of Cal¬ cutta, and gravely demanded a warrant for the arrest of three monkeys, names unknown, on tho charge of “theft and causing mischief.” The complainants set forth,that tho offending monkeys were the greatest thieves aud robbers in the whole City of Palaces. They had broken into bouses, purloined food, clothing and bric-a-brac, and done even more damage by destroying what they could not eat. An English magistrate in India enjoys considerable latitude, but the magistrate was forced to refusp advised the warrant to arrest monkeys. He the complainants to destroy the troublesome animals. But this suggestion they could not, by reason of religious scruples, adopt. All animal life is sacred to tlie Hindoos, and monkeys enjoy a special exemption from barm. Indeed, they are sacred, as the famous Monkey Temple at Benares and other similar buildings in India testify. The English magistrate compromised by suggesting • ft modified indictment against tlie monkeys for burglary of the worst type, and the local courts at present have this proceeding under consideration. The offending Calcutta monkeys must be degenerate the offspring prehistoric of tlie famous Hounaman, monkey of India, aud head of the Entillus - family of Simians. Hounaman was a great monkey. He had an infant son, who, inheriting some of the paternal ambition, mistook the rising sun for an orange and grabbed at it. He burned his lingers, and in revenge his papa seized tlie chariot of the Son of Day. India, who beheld this outrage, launched a thunderbolt at the old man. aud laid him fiat. Thereupon arose ft feud between tlie monkey family and the Hindoos, which is not wholly appeased to this dav.

WOMAN WITH AN AX Instantly Kills Three People and In- ' . \ jures Two Others. Six miles above Huntington,W. Va., at' the mouth of Three Milo Creek, oc- oured one of the most horrible mur¬ ders ever know in the upper Ohio barters. The scene was on a shanty boat and the killed are A. J. Call, forty-five years of age; Nettie Call, his daughter, twenty-four years of age, and Lottie Call, another daughter. Those iD a critical condition are Grace Call, eleven years of age, and Otis Call, thirteen years of age. Late Sunday night Call and his fam¬ ily retired. Etta Bobbins, twenty- fonr years of age, was at their house and retired with one of the daughters. A little boy who was sleeping with the father, makes the following statement, he being the only one outside the Bob¬ bins woman able to talk. “At 3 o’clock this morning I was awakened by Etta Bobbins cutting my father with an axe. My sisters, Lottie and Nettie, ran into our room and Miss Bobbins turued on them. She killed Nettie and cut Lottie’s throat, when Lottie leaped from the boat into the river. She then cut several of us children and threw the axe at Lottie, who was swimming to the shore.” Tho woman acknowledges the kill¬ ing of A. J. Call, bnt denies killing the others. Cali’s head was almost cut off, and his heart was visible from a wound in his breast. The head "f the girl killed was also almost cut i ff and her heart cut out. The children were cut iu a dozen places. A corcuer’s jury was impan¬ eled. The verdict was (bat Etta Bobbins ■committed the inurdirs.

A Culpepper, Va., special to tho Bichmond Dispatch says that the statement from J. Harvey O’Bryan, of Portland, Ore., to the effect that the name of the democratic presidential nominee is really O’Bryan and was changed by him at the time be begau to practice law in Lincoln, Neb., is wholly without foundation. William Bryan, the great-grand¬ father of the nominee, came to the oounty in 1752 from the lower part of the state, acquiring large tracts of land there and becoming prominently identified with the county. His name in the deeds for these lands is Bryan and his last will and testament, which was admitted to record July 21, 1806, is signed William Bryou. An old church built by him upon his land and known as the Bryan meet¬ ing house, is still standing. John T. Bryan, the grandfather of the candidate, moved from tho county to Illinois about 1830 or 1835, when Silas Bryan, the candidate’s father, was a boy about twelve years old. William Jennings Bryan, bis father, his grandfather aud his great-grand¬ father spelled their names Bryan. The Bryans intermarried with some of the prominent families of Culpepper coun- i ty and have a number of blood rela- | tives living there. This is authentic, j having been taken from the records ol [the oounty. VOL. VII. NO. T Georgia Southern & Florida Ry. Suwanee River Route to Florida.

The most appalling disaster which has occurred in Cleveland, Ohio, ex¬ cept the viaduct horror of last winter, when a loaded street car plunged 100 feet into the river, occurred Thursday at 8 o’clock. While the flat-bottomed ferry boat, loaded with between forty and fifty laborers, was crossing the old" river channel, it was, capsized and all the men thrown into the channel, and be¬ tween fifteen and twenty were drown¬ ed, fourteen bodies having been taken from the water within three hours afterward. The accident was due to a panic among the men on board. The boat was so loaded that the gnnwhale was only throe inches above the water, and passing a tug made waves which came into thp boat. At once there was a ruBh to the other side and the boat went under and spilled the men. They were all members of a gang of ore handlers and were going to their homes. Tho scene in the river as de- scribed by the men on the tug and the steamer was a wild struggle for life. Lines and life preservers were thrown from both vessels and many were pulled aboard. Others of the unfortunates were rescued by small boats and some swam ashore. The life-saving crew was summoned and the work of searching for bodies at once be g an Those who escaped scattered in every direction, and it is uncertain just how many lives were lost, The crowding of tho boat was due to the fact that the ore gang pay so much P er trip on the ferry, and the more that get on the less the cost to the passen- gers. The majority of the men mostly lived on Gauge street and Selden ave- nue, whioh led down to the docks and shipyards, and the scenes there were indescribable. Tho men were all Germans or Poles and their families connot speak Eng- MISTOOK THE SIGNAL And the Streets Were Filled With Dead aud Dying. A special cable dispatch to the New York Herald from Athens,Greece, says: “Dispatches received from Canea state that a panic occurred there at 10 o’clock Sunday morning in the Plantza quarter, owing to a fire, which was mis¬ taken as a signal for carnage. “The houses were forthwith barri¬ caded. The British Captain Drum? landed boats carrying armed sailow. Tho Austrian and Bussian ships also lauded men in Canea and Haleppa Shooting began at once and in a few 1 minutes several hundred persons were dead or wounded. “The Austrian consul showed great courage, and ran to Abdullah Pacha, who rated him severely. Abdullah Pacha finally dispersed tho Turks, but the shops were closed and. nobody dare stay in the street. “The correspondent soys that as be passed through the town the dead and wounded were lying about and the panic still continued.” Large Lumber Mill Burned. The lumber mill plant of the JameB Lumber Company, at Wadley, Ga., has been burned. It was one of the largest country plants of its kind in the state. The loss amounted to $20,- 000; no iusnrauoe. 1.00 A Tear. MUSIC HOUSE FAILS- Ballet & Davis, of Chicago, Make an Assignment. The Hallet & Davis Company, deal¬ ers in pianos and organs, at Chicago, have made an assignment to George Aldrich. Tho assets are $283,000 and the liabilities $'.40,000. The failure was caused by stringency in the money market and the general depression in business. The concern was organized a year ago and is distinct from the old Hallett & Davis Piano Company. The Chicago company sold the instruments of the old company. When Mr. Bryan was introduced it was a mighty shout that went up and it was related over and over. A tem- porary had been erected ut the eontor of the building and from this Mr. Bryan spoke as follows: “Fellow Citizens—I am proud to¬ night to be ab e to say to those who are assembled here, these are our neighbors.
