HAINES Yesterday, after a short illness of two weeks of a disease akin to typhoid fever, nr Tom Baines went to meet the Great Poysiclan. He was the son of the late Dr. Baines, for'years the penitentiary phyai- sian, very popular, of bright promise in his profession, and there are very few in this city to whom his death does not bring a genuine regret. Especially is his sad and untimely death lamented by the younger members of the medical profession in Atlanta, by whom be wssheldin high esteem. The funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church' this morning by Rev. Mr. Glenn, and the remains interred at Oakland. The reunion of the Forty-second Geor gia hers to-morrow is looked forward to with great interest, and every preparation is being made for its success. This, added to the assembling ol the members of the Press Association, Baltimore bound, will make the dtv rather notable tor Atlanta. Anyone who will take tbe trouble and a very slow, very crowded and very dusty street car, ol tbo ‘•bob-tail" cut, for a run out to Ponce de Leon Springs on Sunday afternoon can readily see that the people of Atlanta are inclined to take to parka or any pleasant place of public reeort, where they can rest for an hour or two and breath good air. Indeed they yearn for such a place, or such places. Hundreds ol people, men, women and children, ■jo out to Ponce de Leon every Sunday, and qolte a number go every day. Tne place Is not very extensively improved ud ibe conveniences are scarce, but the attractions, as limited aa they are, draw crowds of people, ft is to be hoped the day it not far dis tent when the public will have free access to s number of such places, more exten sively Improved end with greater conveni ences, where the people, end especially the working people, may go daring tbe hot months, and that get n firmer grip both on health and pleasure.

New Orleans, July 23.—A three-year-old son of Mr. Patterson, of Eighty-third street, died lost night, and the physician in at tendance gave a certificate stating that the death had been caused by yellow lever. The president of tbe board of health and several physicians concur in this opinion. A special meeting of the board of health was held today, and President Holt and Dr. Solomon were appointed a committee to Investigate the cause.

We all thought these difficulties could be remedied, and so far a9 quick transportation la concerned it has been, but the magnitude to which the business has grown of late has attracted sharpers, and emboldened a number ot railroads to inciease their freights. This year, as be fore announced, the crop waa cut oft half by the unfavorable season, and the rail roads and commission men got the other half, leaving our growers in debt. Here and there, it is true, whsft shipments were made over roads that had not increased their freights, and when the melons fell into the hands of reliable com mission men, good sales weie made, but they do not amount enough to over- with the fever scare, balance losses. Planters cannot stand more than two years of such misfortunes, and the result Is the business must be abandoned. We have advised readers of the Times to embark in the business—to .make the experiment. .Now that the ex periment has been fully tested, it will re quire no further advice to make them abandon it. There was hope in this in dustry—there is a way yet to make it suc ceed—but the power does not lie in the E lanters. They are helpless.

KXCITKMRNT AT ST. IOUIS. Sr. Louis, July 23.—A flurry of excite ment and much apprehension and dread waa produced on ’change to-day by the re port that yellow fever had broken out in New Orleans. When it was ascertained through a dispatch from reliable sources that only one child had died from a dis ease supposed to be the fever, the excite ment subsided and matters relapsed into their nsual condition. There was a break in wheat, however, and provisions showed S eat weakness, bat corn and oats were gher and firm. The assignment of Wear, Boagher & Co. also had aomo effect on the market and produced a general feeling of uncertainty, but that seemed to pass away ball from the horrible weapon through her head. After laying tha pistol down, his little girl and her cousin, aged 11 years, and daughter of Mr. G. A. Bird, both went into the room and began playing with the pistol. They had been play ing with it in the forenoon, but then it was unloaded. Tho now unhappy father saw them where they went alter ho came out of the room and he cau tioned them not to trouble tho pistol, as it was loaded. It was scarcely a second heforo the fatal shot was fired. The eldest girl had killed herconsin. Just how it was done is not known. It is, of course, supposed that the elder one snapped the pistol at tho younger as she did in the forenoon, not thinking it was loaded. How terrible! how sad! Our heart goes out to that poor mother atul father! tot us draw the curtain and take warning never to leave fire arms loaded where children can handle Fios are plentiful in Albany. The fig crop of Georgia should bo a hundred fold greater than it is. The Middle Georgia Timet wisely, we think, objects to making the fence-no- fcnceissuea political question in Up son county. A new coal-lmrning engine, tho first of tho kind built in tho Georgia Central shops, has just been turned out, in Savannah. The Brunswick Herald claims that Mershon has secured sixteen of the forty votes in the nominating conven tion of tho first Congressional district. “Georgia will give Cleveland and Hendricks a solid 50,000 majority, it not more,” says the Thomasvillo them.

Nrw York, Ji:iy The Post's (o’.ton article says: Future deliveries continue neg lected. Fluctuations were Insignificant, and at the third call 100 bales for December brought 10.47; bids were refused of 10.92 for July, 10.91 for August, 10.90 for September, 10.00 for Octo ber, 10.46 for November, 10.58 for January, 10.68 for February, 10.90 for March, 10.93 for April and 11.01 for May. This makes the mar ket 1 to 2 points higher than yesterday. Futures cloned dull but steady; sales 41,000 The following table shows the opening and closing quotations- 8 219 melons sold at 303.. $74.70: 182 melons sold at 25c., $15.50; 607 spoiled; carload brought$124 40. Dr.- Freightpald,$131,16; cartage, $4 00; commission. $12,44; total, $147.00. Balance due commission house, $23.20. It will be seen that the gross sales were less than the freight. This was one of the poorest sales wo have heard of. Many were turned over for the freight, some brought $10, $25 and $50 a car load net, while a few went to $100 and above. Upon an average the growers lost their manure and their labor. Now, if the railroads would haul the melons at car load rates on flour or other merchandise (wbicli is not much over half the amount charged for melons) and, if the commission men would handle them for 5 instead of 10 per cent, commis sion then, even with the Inok of this and last year, the growers would realize some profits, and they would continue the ex periment longer. The dtily salvation for them is in this direction. In the beginning of this season the Times warned the rail roads not to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, bat they have seen fit to do it. If this immense amount of freight given them in a dull eeason of the year is en tirely cut off for the future they must charge the loss np to their own short-sightedness. The melon growers here, where the bulk of the crop .in Georgia has been raised for some years, are making arrangements to plant cotton next season. Many assert, let come what will, they will never plant me), ons again, but it is in tbe power of the railroads to partially set this enterprise npon Us feet again if they will do it. If they adhere to the present schedule of rates no more melons w.ll be planted in South Georgia. The crop is made in Lowndes and Brooks comities, and we know that we speak for the melon men of Brooks, as well as Lowndes, when we say that the straggle is practically over, unless there is a great redaction In freights. MR. KELLY WILL NOT RESIGN. Tho Leaders In the Districts Say They Would Not Hoar of It. Now Ycrk World. A rumor has .bem published to the effect that Mr. RfiQ/tnidndcd to retire from pol itics and that tne leadership of Tammany Hall was to be assumed by Edward Kear ney. There la no foundation whatever for the statement. The Tammany Hall dis trict bosses laugh at such an idea. They say that Mr. Kelly would under no circum- atancea retire from politic or from the leadership of the wigwam forces, and |Bat even if he did contemplate such a thing his mantle would not fall upon tbe shoul ders of if r. Kearney. Tbe following are short interviews with a number of Tammany Hall leaders on tbe rumor; Register Reilly; “Mr. Kelly will remain as the leader of Tammany Hall. He has, aa far as I know, no intention of with drawing. The atory comes from Chicago and baa no foundation. I have always been a staunch friend of Mr. Kelly arid al ways will, and 1 would like to see him nominated for mayor. Like a good Dem ocrat I favor the support of tbe nation al ticket. I will also aupport tbe Tammany Hall county ticket, union or no union.” Edward Kearney: "That ii the first I have heard of the story. It is all bosh. Wo all want Mr. Kelly to remain where be is. He is our recognised leader.” .Senator Cullen: "Whoever says Mr. Kelly Is going to step down and out does not know Mr. Kelly. Ex Senator Grady: "Nonsense, there is nothing in it" Aiderman Kirk; “Tammany Halt would never consent to Mr. Kelly resigning tbe leadership." Dnn Voorhees on Blaine's Letter. Washington Special. "Yea, I have read the letter through ev- jry word of it," said Senator Voorhees. ‘Like everything Mr. Blaine writes, it is marked by force and ability. I was sur- E rised to find hitn devoting so orach space > an argument in favor of protection and taking such extreme ground. I am some thing of a protectionist myself, bat I must say I think Mr. Blaine is cutting it pretty fat when he attributes the vast Increase of material wealth during the past twenty years entirely to the ‘protective tariff. While the letter ia not only able, bat mod erate and conservative in tone, I do not believe it will satisfy the country that Mr. Blaine is a safe man. People mistrust him." ‘What do you think of his views on civil service reform?" "Oh, I presume what he says about him self and his opinions is true. Blaine is a kind hearted man, and I do not think he would try to tarn out Any man who was doing his duty well.” "It is ratqer providential," continued the Senator, “that we have nominated a young, vigorous man, weighing 250 pounds, with a neck as big as mv thigh and a head like a bull's. In case he is elected, as I am sure ho will be, he will be able to stand up against the horde of office seekers and live. The pressure would have killed Hen dricks or Thurman in ninety days, and as (or Tilden he would have been snuffed out instantly.” She Didn't Take tho Ring. Philadelphia Press. A yonng lady who moves in very good society returned from the seashore yester day in a very indignant frame of mind, rihe made a call on a West Walnut street family, and there met half a dozen girl friends, to whom she explained the cause for her indignation. “I was on the board- walx about 7 o'clock in the evening,” she said, “and a great, horrid man, with a black mustache, said ‘h'm.’ 1 paid no attention, and what did the brnte do bat turn, square around and say, 'I’d like to kiss you.’ Ot course, I paid no attenton, and then be came closer and said, ‘I'd give this diamond ring for a kiss,' at the same lime drawing a beauti ful ring from his finger.” “And did he kiss you and refuse to give up the ring?” queried tho girls in chorus. “Goodness sakes, not” was the reply. "I felt so angry and hurt that I walked away without saying a word. At any rate, the ring was a solitaire, and you all know that clusters are the only correct thing to wear nowadays.” “He was a beast,” said the girls, “and you were perfectly right.” scure corner of that city, and is of no consequence. The Waycross Reporter wants to see a man in all this country who does not believe that he would make a good legislator.” Of course our contempor ary knows that there are many such, and merely seeks to emphasize Its'pro test against the extent„to which office- seeking is carried. Tne merchants are out of bacon and flour nearly three-thirds of the time. Tho demand is greater than the sup ply,” says the Wrightsville Recorder. This indicates that tho farmers there abouts will continue to ho four-thirds in debt, even after harvesting the cot ton crop. The Augusta Chronicle is of the opin ion that foreign immigration will not turn towards the Booth until the North and West have been filled to overflow ing. There is much truth in the posi tion. The negro population in the South is a barrier to immigration. For eigners, as a rule, have great repug nance to the negro race. The Enquirer-Sun makes this re port: “A gentleman who has just re turned from a trip through the coun ties below Columbus reports that the prospect for good crops is very fine. Wetslso hear good reports rom the counties north of here. With a favor able season the cotton crop will yield much more than was expected a few weeks ago.” The Talbotton New Era reports the killing of a little girl by her cqusin, with a pistol. It would not have hap pened if the father of the dead girl had not laid the weapon on a bureau, within easy reach ol the children. Such care lessness is often attended with fearful consequences; hut each succeeding les son is soon forgotten. We give the de tails in another place.

The Chicago Timet discusses with its accustomed' ability the question whether the Democratic platform is a declaration in favor of free trade or in favor of protection. Citing the opin ions of Mr. Frank Hurd, Mr. Bookwnl- ter, Mr. Wattorson and Mr. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, all consistent and uncompromising free traders, the Times shows that these gentlemen agree in thinking that platform utterly excludes tection. “Mr. Wattorson,” says the Timet, “burst into laughter at the July 10.91 uss August 10.97 10IVW September 10.93 10.92-51 October 10.62 10.62-ti November _. 10.47 10.47-1* December 10.48-19 January 10.67-58 February- 10,69-70 March 10.81-s.i April. 10.93-94 May New York, July 23.—Cotton closed easy; sales 1278; middling uplands 11; middling Or* leans 11**.

Not only should worthless and suspicious dogs be cared for by promptly killing them, but all dogs should be properly attend ed to, so that they may not stray into danger. The risk of human life in the days of mad dogs should be made as small os possible, and the loss of vsln- nblo domestic animals from so horrible and fatal a disease should be guarded against.” .
