Atlanta. September 29.—A bloody and
perhaps fatal difflcnlty occurred late this
evening at fli Decatur street, between two
young men. William F. Ellis and Ed
Owens, painters. They were in Harper's
saloon and quarreled about a gambling
matter. Ellis stabbed Owens five times,

Atlanta, September 30.—'There hes gen
erally existed In the public mind in this
State considerable contusion concerning
the apparent ar.d actual balances in the
treasdry. White It lias been time and
again eipltined that usually the apparent
bslanre, as indicated in the annnai reports
of the' treasurer, is far in excess of the
funds actually on h»n,l, it.has been, never-
thelesi, cust unary to use the lormer as a
basis in discussing tbe Spences of tbe
State. It sometimes happens, for instance,
tbit the Treasurer pays out 1250,009 to the
account oi interest on the public debt on
presentation ol the coupons. These cou
pons are held by the Treasurer as his
Touchtra, and when they aro all in they
are sent up to thq Governor for examina
tion, and it correct, a warrant is drawn
covering tbe whole amount. Until
that warrant ia drawn ami in the
hands of the Treasurer the amount
»o paid out still appears In the treasury
reports as cash on band. It has been de
termined that hereafter in the official
reports of the treasurer the balsLce indi
cated shall be the actual balance, and not
tbs apnarent. This Is an improvement
which will be found to be useful in mote
respects than one, and of no little service
to legislatures in makin g appropriations ,tn
showing th-m what available funds exist
in the treasury.
To carry the change into effect it will be
necessary to hurry tbe vouchers forward
to the executive department, so that the
proper warrants may issue coveting the
payments. It will facilitate the work In
both department!.

MELBOURNE PRIZE FIGHTERS.
The Short Work That Farnan Made of
Jackson White Fighting co a Finish.
The latest advices from Australia say
that tbe glove fight between the heavy
weight champion pugilists, William Far
ed, waa decided in Victoria Hall, Mel
bourne, recently. They fought to a fin
ish. Queensberrv endurance rules, for
$500 a side. Two thousand sporting ram
were present. Farnan was attended by
George Smith and Jack Cody, while Ned
Powell and Peter Newton seconded Jack-
son. Sam Rainbnry, the well-known
bookmaker, was referee, and Abe Htcken
timekeeper.
Both principals bad trained like beavers,
but were somewhat fine. Farnan weighed
178 and Jackson 191 pounds. Richard K.
Fox recently aent lor Farnan to visit the
United States, and contemplates on his ar
rival to match him for $2,500aside against
heavy weights here. The Melbourne fight
was over in three rounds.
Ro-md first—The men sparred warily
for some time, and watched each other tor
an advantage. Jackson finally ientout his
left, but fell short. Then some quick ex
changes took place, and Jackson got in
a heavy blow on Farnan’a jaw with the
left, and followed it up with a right-hander
on the ribs which sent him down. When
he got up he was a little shaky. Jackson
again brought him down with a blow on
the neck. Jackson then forced the fight
ing. and some short-arm work followed till
time waa up.
Round second—Farnan opened the bat
tle with a swinging blow on the negro’s
ribs, which made him gasp. Then they
closed, and Farnan, having bis right arm
free, bytan to punish Jackson in the stom
ach. Finally, when they broke away,
Jackson was almost doubled up. Farnan
followed him into his coiner, and let him
have it right end left, sending in some
smashing blows on his fsce, neck and body,
and had all the best of It.
Round third—The meu came up gamely,
both showing the effects ot tbe heavy pun
Ishment. Farnan now forced the lighting,
and dazed Jackson by a heavy blow on the
jaw. Tbe latter now began to throw his
hands around wildly, and Farnan, follow
ing him. forced him on the ropes and
knocked him down. As he was unable to
get up within tbe ten seconds limit, the
referee decided Farnan the victor. The
whole time of the fight was 8 minutes and
35 seconds.

nlng Field
Charleston News and Courier.
The cotton crop of 1884 Is now fairly
open, and throughout the cotton belt great
interest is manifested in the success of the
Mason Cotton Harvester. In many quar
ters there are symptoms of Impatience be
cause the machine has not been placed on
the market, or, at least, publicly tested,
and some of our contemporaries are even
indulging in cheap wit at the expense of
the inventor. In order to satisfy, as far as
possible, public Interest and curiosity in
regard to this novel and extraordinary
implement, the A r ews and Courier has
taken pains to obtain accurate informa
tion in regard to its development up to the
present time, bb well as concerning the
plans and expectations of the Cotton Har
vester Company.
In the first place, it should be stated
that neither Mr. Mason nor any of those
associated with him in perfecting his in
vention has entertained any idea of
placing the harvester on the market for
general me during tbe present picking
season. As far back as last December
it was determined by the company to
limit this vear’s operations to the man
ufacture of a limited number of the ma
chines of different sizes and varying
patterns in order that several inodiffca*
tions of the principle might be thor
oughly tested before the manufacture of
the machines for sale was begun. In pur*
suance of this plan, Mr. Mason has con
structed half a dozen machines in three
sizes, and since the cotton first began to
open experiments have been made every
day with tbe machines in a field of cotton
planted by the company for the purpose in
the town of 8umter. The result of these
experiments has shown the wisdom of the
company in avoiding hasty action in ihe
manufacture of the machines. Despite
the greatest care and hardest work during
the winter and spring to make the ma
chines perfect, Mr. Mason found upon
first testing them in the field this season
that there were imperfections in con
struction which must be overcome before
the machine could be treated as a practi
cal success. One by one these defects
have been overcome, and such difficulties
as remain to be solved relate almost ex
clusively to the gear for the automatic re
moval of tbe cotton into the bags after it
has been picked and deposited in the re
ceiving bexea of the machine. Tbe pick
ing cylinders. which form the essential
portion of the harvester, gathering the
open cotton from the plants without injury
to tbe plants or to the unopen fruit, work
beautifully and with wonderful rapidity.
This part of the machine, which has en
gaged Mr. Mason's whole attention for
many months, and the success of which
practically solves the great problem of
cotton-picking by machinery, scarcely
needs any further improvement. Toe
auxiliary contrivances for conveying the
icked cotton into the bags, being of less
mportance, have received less attention
nd still need a good deal of modi
fication, which must be the result of pa
tient and protracted tests. Mr. Mason,
however, feels no uneasiness abont these
defects, and ia confident that tbe perfect
ing of this part of the machine is only a
matter of a little time. The difficulties expe
rienced have been these: The picking
stems gather tbe cotton and deposit it so
rapidly upon the elevators that, in heavily
fruited cotton, the capacity of the elevators
has been inadequate to remove it
as fast as it comes in. The result
is that the elevators become gorged, and
the revolving picker stems force tome of
the cotton already picked, off the elevators
and throw it on the gronnd. At the first
glance this difficulty seems trifling, but.
owing to the fact that only a very limited
space is available for the nse of the eleva
tors, it is not an easy matter, withont a
general reconstruction of the frame of the
machine, to remedy the fault With one
8 air of cylinders the machine picks about
J per cent, of the open cotton in passing
over a row once, and fc very nearly cleans
the row by passing over it twice. Mr.
Mason is now at work upon a machine
carrying two pairs of cylinders, which he
calculates will gather seven-eighths of the
cotton at one picking.
Arrangements have been made to have
a public exhibition of the harvester be
fore a committee appointed by the officers
of the New Orleans World's Exposition
and members of the National Cotton
Planter*’. Association,and the commission
er-general of the Woild's Exposition, in a
letter to the secretary of the harvester
company a few days ago, makes a sug-
geatton about the testing of the machine,
which will probably be adopted.
The Cotton Harvester Company have
replied to Col. Morehead that the com
pany will be pleased to make the teat
upon tbe terms and under the auspices
he suggests. If desirable, the committee
appointed by Director-General Burke Febi
can witness the test at the same time or
have another trial at a different time and

water and lye made from carbonated soda

It would be Imnosalble to give the num

consistence of »o(t aoap, because the con-
tiateney of the first or neutral aoap varies
so much. If It should be very dry and
bard it would require a larger proportion
of water to bring it to eoft soap. Again,
if the grease was not thoroughly converted
into soap It would require some of the car
