The class of 1885 of the University of Georgia wiii hold its reunion on June 18. at the university, and there is every pros pect of there being a large attendance. This class was to have had its reunion five years after graduation, hut for some reason this plan failed to .fulminate, and it is. therefore, with particular pleasure that the members are looking forward to the meeting after so long a lapse of time. Diligent effort has been made to reu di each member of the class, either o grad uate or matriculate, in order to hotify him of such reunion. By reason, however the varied changes It has been impossible to reach all. but the membei of the <s who have this reunion in • hargo will be greatly pleased at the attendance of all members. Thursday afternoon dirt was broken for • siding on the Central Railroad, two miles east of Griffin. This is the first step taken toward the erection of co ton mill No. 5, which will Ik located cn B.

The parties interested in this ent r prl-e have been work.ng quietly for some time, and now have nil their plans per fect ed and are going forwaid with the < on etruction of th* mil! nt once. They have ample capital and considerable experh i*-r in the mill business and i' i3 a forgone conclusion that this enterprise will achieve the same measure of success that the olde. mills have won. Work on the mill will be begun in about two weeks, and j* is ex pected that it will be in operation by the first of next January. One of the mest enthusiastic gatherings ever in Troup county occurred it Ii- Grange Saturday, when the farmers and business men generally got together to perfect a sub-organization of the state •©elation of Georgia cotton growers. IT. s ident Hat vie Jordan was present, and took active interest in the meeting. Farmers, bankers, merchants, ginners. cotton mil; men and others came together on equal ground, mutually agreeing to smih! six.el der to shoulder in the movement to ob tain better prices for the next ciop of cotton. The gathering was a large and representative one President Jordan was Invited to deliver a talk on the business features of the movement, to which he re sponded in a short add re .-s, telling his u dience that the keynote of the whole ti u • tion was to secure statistical information in regard to the crop during the hat vesting time, set a fair and Just price on the sta ple. and market slowly. Organization was perfected amid great enthusiasm, and if the people all over the Mate stand by the association as firmly as those of this < aun ty there will be no trouble so lar as Geor gia is concerned.

The eas was too quick for him. however, and found him first. The doctors and the ma rlne ways ore now in charge, of the wrecks. A heavy blow was experienced at Day tona about noon on Friday. Ii came up suddenly, and did considerable damage to the North bridge, throwing down two thirds of the south railing. The wind blew with such force that the timbers were carried over to the north side of the bridge and into the river. The mail car rier. who was going over at the time, had a narrow escape from flying timber; his wagon was blown against the railing, and the mail bags hurled out on the bridge, h t wire ?:i\erl from going into the river. Escambia county will get nothing for the well equipped maritime quarantine plant located on Santa Rosa island. This prophecy is based upon developments it the meeting of the state board of health in Pensaco’a Friday. The fad is, the Inst Legislature has allowed (he health board to sit in. judgment as to whether Escambia county should be reimbursed for the plant, and a majority of the mem bers of that hoard evince no disposition In favor of the county, whose health board prior to its abolition, established the plant. Escambia county claims $20,000 as the value of its plants Several schooners loaded with pines ar rived at the river dock at Miami Friday. W. N. Jackson sent one car to Balti more.

Some of the buyers ore preparing to leave Miami and spend the rest of t he shipping season in the Indian -river country. The growers are wen sat isfied. both with the prices received nnd their crops. Although the yield has been less than expected, th* prices have more than made up the deficiency. The totol value of tin Florida pineapple crop is put at $250,000.

The hard work that was done by Frank Clark in the campaign preced ing the primaries and hi.s aggressiveness in urging the removal of the stale capital to Jacksonville, and in declaring and ar guing that it should be made an issue in the coming etete campaign, won for him the first place in the delegation.

The ruins of the Cohen, Friedman & Cos. stock at Tampa furnished a perfect cul tures’ feast for the city’s scavengers Fri day. Early in the morning the firm aban doned all the stock it could not rescue to the general public, and the colored population descended in full force upon the blackened ruins. Despite the terrific heat of the flames, quite a large quan tity of goods escaped practically uninjur ed. Particularly was this the case where goods were piled in heaps, as bolts *of cloth, mattings, or even paper boxes con taining cuffs and collars. Negroes bur rowed under the blackened counters, and from amid the cinders and charred wood work. brought forth whole suits of cloth ing. collars, cuffs, shoes and various other articles of haberdashery. All morning the crowd was working in the ruins, only desisting at one time when forcibly driven from the scene. They were permitted to return again in the afternoon, however, and men. women and children of both colorV, alike, united in picking up the blackened fragments. It was a most amusing sight to see a black skinned citizen soiling n now pair of duck trousers in a vain elTort to rescue a 49- cent shirt from under a mass of charred clothing. _ ST.VKES WE HE NEVER I’ \ ID. Louisville Poker Game With an Ex triiordlnnry Outcome. From the. New Orleans Times-Dcmocrot. “While 1 was in Louisville list week.’’ said ft New' Orleans sporting man the other night. “I had my attention (ailed to n massive old-fashioned ioker table whin stands in one. corner of the lounglng-room at a club much frequented by horsemen. On the green baize cloth, nr oppoeire sides, ore a number of curious little stains, in which minute fragments of re l sealing-wax can be seen on close Inspec tion The table is never used for curd playing at present, and the story told in ; connection with it is really remarkable. I One afternoon some right or nine yea is I ngo, a party of four turfmen, all ot that lime pretty well known in sporting cir cles, started a game of p">ker in one of the little back rooms of the club. Tlvw rocked along for several hours without doing much damage one way or the other v when suddenly an exciting tussle began over a Jack pot. In a few moments the man who opened it dropped out. followed by one of the others, leaving the remain ing two players to fight for the spoils One ©f them was a bookmaker from Chi cago. and the other was a man from Syr-' a■ use, N Y.. who used to he n partner In a famous ‘art gallery’ bar. I don’t care to identify them any closer than that. The Chicago man began the trouble by •ettlng SFO, which the New Yorker scw and raised $25<V The hookmiker cam' bock with a thousand, and when he count ed out the money, ho noticed that he had about exhausted his roll. ’That oversizes me,’ said tho Pyracuse mon. ‘I haven’t got a thousand or a quarter of it in my leather, hut if you’d give me half an hour to go out and rustle. I’ll stay with you 111 l the cows < ome home.’ Well, the prop ocfiion, as the story goes, was accepted, and the question then arose as to what should be done in jhe meantime with the two hands. 1* was finally suggested to lav them face down on the table an.l fasten them there with scaling wax. Tnb idea seemed good and was adopted. Scaled th** Cards Securely. "A dob of melted wax was dropped at the corners of each of the pasteboard, ard both plovers stamped the seals witn private marks. The New Yorker us*d n cameo ring and the other slmplv made an impression with his thumb. The money °n the table was locked in the safe, end both men thereupon rushed out ;o ?e- Plenish. agreeing cn an hour’s limit. Now comes the queer parr of the story. The bookmaker went straight to a per sonal friend, who was proprietor of a erream big gambling hou.se. and horror,--, ed $2,500. He started hack on a dead run with the money in his hand, and w-hi.e crossing th* street, wa.t knocked down by a cob.

The manager of the club wanted to ‘divide the money in the safe between the two estates, but the bookmaker'., brother who was his executor, objected vigorous]? in sistlng that the Inst bet had never' been called and consequently. th New Vork-r had lost. Then, the distiller, who had agreed to'back hio Syracuse friend, offor et, n, "ke tile ca.i good, and the two original players who had dropped out and who were still in the eily, began to . ,-umor for the return of their money, amounting to about SdO apiece, on The ground that everything should be de clared off on general principles. Alto gether it was the worst mixed up affair that ever happened. ■'Finally tho matter was left by agree ment to n prominent Louisville ‘business man who knew nothing uitout cards, bin had a high reputation for honesty and common sense. He d-ciared that 'lie two players wiio had dropped- out had no claim on the pot. and as nobody could remember how the preliminary betting had stood, that two-thirds of 'the lump sum should go to the representatives of the bookmaker and one third to tho es tate of tho New Yorker. To prevent endle.-s debates and squabbles in future lie also directed that the cards should be removed from The cloth, face down, and destroyed without exposure.

No Serious Decline Expected, How e^er—Rosin Was I nelinnged With no Snten—The Jane Cotton Report the Feature at the Cotton Ex change—Rot h Bulls and Bears I-'ouud Comfort lu It—Flour Mode a Sharp Rise. Morning News Office, June 11.—All tho markets were very quiet yester day. Spirits turpentine scored another drop of cent, bringing the price to 44*£ cents. Still this is just 8 cents above, the price n year ago. which was not consider ed bad at that time. The indications are for some further de clines. as the factors admit that the buy ers are not disposed to relieve them of the stocks on hand at present prices. At the same time the lowering of the price will have the effect of causing a more general application of receipts to contracts, and this will naturally result in stiffening the market. With the good prices at which contracts were sold, and the apparent de crease in the output as compared with last year, factors are. convinced that the fur ther drop in the price of turpentine wiil not be serious and that, in fact, it will not be jo the intere?' of the buyets to have prices go below contract figures. The. feature of interest at the Cotton Exchange was the. June cotton report of the agricult lira 1 department. The very low condition shown for June was. fully offset by the increased so that there was no decided effect upon the. market either way. Th* - bulls pointed to the fact that the porcerrage of increase in acreage was largest in small oo tcn-grow.r.g states, such as Virginia ar.d Missouri, and small est in important states such as Texas. The very low coniitions of the crop in Texas was also by the bulls. Tho increased of 2,036,000 acres was sufficient for the purpose of the bears, however. There was a sharp increase in the price of flour of 15 cents a barrel. COTTON.

This advance was In opposition to the in fluence at work, such as weak LiverpcoJ cnb’cs anl bearish reports on the crop and the weather conditions from the cot ton belt. It was seen that Liverpool this morning had made but a feeble response to our emphatic rise last week, while the English markets were closed on account of holi days. The foreign contingent also showed n disposition to sell at the opening prices. Before the close of the first hour the market made a turn for the worse under • change in the character of speculation here and rumors that sentiment In New Orleans was strongly bearish.

New York. June 11— Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: Liverpool did not respond to the improvement in the American markets as sharply as expected. Our market opened steady with buyers at a slight advance to be met with an avalanche of outside sell ing orders, which caused a sharp and rapid decline. Evert the bureau report did not cause more than a short rally at noon. This failure to respond lo a condition of 82.,i per cent, was due to the large increase in the acreage and the dry weather since the report was issued In the Southwest. The acreage is the largest ever given while the condition is decidedly below the average. Political conditions in China and the distress in India appears to have more effect in Liverpool than our advance of Saturday. New York. June 11— Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liverpool opened with an ad vance of 2-32®3-32d on spots, middling ups sd, sales 7,509. Futures improved l-64d on old and about 3-64d on new crops, but closed 5-64d up on former, and about 3*2 points on latter. Our market opened ir regular at 3 to 7 points advance, ruled feverish for a while, suddenly turned downward on general selling, owing to favorable weather in the cotton belt, and by noon the net decline from highest to day was 15 to 18 points on old crop and about 10 points on the new. The bureau's condition of 82.5 is very iow. (Texas only 71 against 9n last year) the lowest for pre vious twenty years being 81 in the small crop season of 1895. It makes the increase in acreage 8.70. say 25,300,000, against 23.- 509.000 a year ago. The market will be nervous until some improvement is shown. DRV GOODS. New York.

June 11 Afer a day of great irregularity in the movement of prices and an extremeiy nar row interest in the marker prices ot stocks, they closed generally lower and on the down grade. There were one or two periods of firmness and a few special feat ures of strength, but practically all ihe gains were wiped out. The market open ed generally higher irf sympathy with a better tone abroad. Estimates by arbi trage houses of buying for London account place the number of shares of the general list at upwards of 20.000. Advamoge was promptly taken of this London buying to realize, and the level of the marker fell below Saturday’s Missouri Pacific ran off over a pc-lnt and the Grangers w?r? under pressure on the ground cf continued drouth in the Northwest, to whi .'a was attributed t#** furiously active end excit ed wheat market. Buying of Reading first preferred nnd of Northern Paciflo' turn- J the tide of prices upward again. The trunk line railroad stocks, led by Balti more and Ohio, showed some degree of strength. The late reaction in the market had its inception in Northern Pacific. The stock fell away on the announcement that the meeting to consider the rate of divi dend which had been set for Wednesday, bid been postponed to Friday >0 await the arrival of an influential member cf the voting trustees. Baltimore and Ohio showed the closest sympathy with Northern Pacific, on ac count of Mr. Hill’s large influence in that eomapny. The extreme decline in the two stocks, was U 3 for Northern Pacific, and I*4 for Baltimore and Ohio. The whole market ran off and closed about steady, but without afiv tendency to recovery. Some of ihe streng'h of Americans in London was due to a report that there had been rains in the spring wheat belt, but the Inter developments in the when market, of course, counteracted this. The principal influence in improvement of for eign stocks was the more cheerful tone of the Berlin market, and the belief th it the crisis in money affairs there was past. The strong return for the week of the Imperial Bank of Germany empha sized this feeling. But discount rates in Berlin advanced again to-day, nnd in New York. b:*h the sterling exchange rate, and the rc.te on Beflin rose a frac tion, notwithstanding the purchase here of stocks for foreign account The la’e weakness of the market was no doubt partly due to the report which found cur rency.near the close, ih a: gold to n con siderable amount, will be shioped bv next Thursday’s steamer from New York to the continent.
