Griffin Cal!: A fight occurred in West Griffin, near the Kincaid Mills, yesterday afternoon, In which one party was prob ably fatally wounded and another man badly bruised up about the face and head. A dispute arose between Luther Hoard and Will Mahaffee, while in conversa tion with a young lady. The conversation between the two young men became heated, and as we learn. Hoard struck Will several times, whereupon Will drew his knife and cut Luther twice, once about his forehead, the second time severing the jugular vein. Hoard is in a critical condi tion, and there is hardly a chance for his recovery, while his antagonist escaped with only a few bruises. Rain Damages Cotton. Albany Herald: Farmers say that the steady rains of the past ten days have had a damaging effect on the cotton crop, and they are anxiously watching the heav ens in the hope that fair weather signs will make their appearance. The extra ordinary quantity of moisture, in the ground as the result of such heavy rains Is causing entirely too much sap to rise in the cotton plants, and their growth is so luxuriant that there is a well-grounded fear that there will be a dearth of blooms and bolls a little later In the season. The farmer w-ants “fewer leaves and more blooms,’* and he now fears, very natural lyi that exactly the reverse will be the cake. Some bright, fair weather, with plenty of warm, steady sunshine, is now desired above all things else, and every day adds to the farmer's anxiety for it to appear. Rain Threntens Frnlt. Macon News: The fruit crop is seriously threatened. Another week of rain will re sult In incalculable damage. The fruit growers over the entire state are becom ing alarmed, and many of them express the opinion that the late peaches aro al ready hurt, A prominent fruit grower stated to a News reporter that the peaches In some of hts largest orchards were be ginning to rot. ond that, if the weather continued for a much longer period the en tire crop would be ruined. This state of affairs exists not merely in Middle Geor gia. but throughout the state, and the peach crop of 1900 may not be as large by ■ considerable amount as It jias been lit paft years. The cotton end corn Is being damaged In a corresponding degree, and ♦ he, fruit growers and planters are becom ing very much worried. "If these rains continue for one week longer,” said a fruit grower this morning, "it will mean ♦he loss of thousands of dollars, and ill fact the damage can hardly be. estimated. The peaches will begin to decay, and when this starts it fs then good-bye to the whole crop. Ido not hesitate to say that I consider the present conditions moat alarming." FLORIDA. Jacksonville Metropolis: The organized democracy of Duval county will likely, and should, reach 3,000 votes In November. This vote can be polled if the Democratic committee will superintend the registra tion, and it expects to do it. Every true Democrat should rally to the support of Bryan and the entire ticket nominated by the County Convention. Taro Ocala Enterprises. The New Manufactory of Messrs.

Their capital stock Is 950,01X1, and they will do a gen eral merchandise business, buy and sell land, operate an Ice factory, etc. Arrest ol n Physician. Considerable excitement prevailed at the depot et Weet Palm Beach Sunday morn inr as the passenger train rolled in from the South, owing to the arrest of Dr. J. A McLeay, who was preparing to leave for the. North. The arrest was made oy Marshal Jones, on a warrant issued by E. F. Haiues, charged with practicing medicine in this city without a certificate of examination from the etate examining board. A cash bond of SIOO was demand ed. which was made by the doctor, who caught the train and continued his Jour ney northward. Not in the Evidence. Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen: The decision in the United States Court in this city made in the claims of the offi cers and crew of the United States steamer Mangrove for the proceeds of the sale of the Spanish cruiser Panama and cargo, was announced in the Times- Union and Citizen of Saturday. Judge Locke, after long consideration of the case, allowed the claims of the Mangrove, and gave to the claimants the entire pro ceeds of the capture. In the account of the decision it was mentioned that the engineer of the Panama had stated that resistance seemed useless to the Man grove, although it was of inferior arma ment, as tht& United States ship Indiana was in sight ready to come to the aid of the Mangrove. This statement did not appear in the evidence adduced in the case, but was repeated to a reporter for the Times-Unioa and Citizen by District Attorney Stripling, who said that remark had been made to him personally by the engineer who was quoted. Florida's Census. Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen: Hon. J. M. Cheney of Orlando, supervisor of the census for Florida, spent a short time in the city yesterday, and in an In terval of his labors, he spoke of the prog re§s of the census taking in Jack sonville. He said that he was perfectly satisfied rhat the returns, as made by his enumerators, will be as complete as they can be made by any agency. He had, he said, investigated every complaint that hod been lodged against the work of his men, since attention was called to it by the action of the Board of Trade last week. Every complaint, he said, had been met. and in a number of instances it had been shown that there was no cause for such complaint. When the Board of Trade took action in the matter there remained several days in which the census was ro be completed, and this explained the omis sion of a number of persons who had not been reached, but who were still on the books of the enumerators to be visited. He believed that in two instances the complaints had been based on good rea sons, which was owing to a mlsundsr standing ae to the boundaries of certain enumeration districts, by which two large buildings were omitted. This error had been rectified, and he believed there would be no further cause for complaint. SOI Til GEORGIA COLLEGE. Modal* nnd Diploma* .Awarded ot Thomnsville. Thomasville, Ga..

A Southern Delegation'* Visit to the Woodruff Headquarter*. The headquarters of the Hon. Timothy Woodruff had a good many visitors to day, says the Sun's correspondence. A good many of the pilgrims who went to the mint on the wejeome invitation, find ing that Institution closed went to Mr. Woodruff's headquarters. In the crowd were two colored men from a Soui it em state. They got inside the door and announced: "Were delegates, boss; we think powerful well of Wocdruff down our way.” The Hon. Timothy was not around at the time, but the man in charge told them he was very glad to hear mat and trusted they would stick to Tim. “Yes, we think powerful well of Mr. Woodruff," said one of the delegates. "Yes, yes. we are glad to hear that," said the man in charge, and he turned to greet somebody else. The two stood mere. "Yes," said the spokesman again, when, he thought he reached the ear of the Woodruff man. "we think powerful well of Mr. Woodruff down our way." The Woodruff man kept talking to other people. The delegates stood still. Fin lly the spokesman of the pair coughed. The Woodruff man looked around. “Fact is.” said the spokesman when 1c saw the Woodruff -tan's eye on hlu again, "we have a small Bap.ist church down in our town and we’ve got a mort gage on It and it is pofverful haid to laise money these days, powerful hard. You see, besides being up here as delegates, we want to raise SSOO to help out that church." The Woodruff man's back was turned by this time and the. spokesman, af.er waiting a moment, sait^: “Yes. yes; we did think powerful vveil of Mr. Woodruff down our way,” and there was a heap of emphasis on the did. Then they went out. Getting Their I’ictnre* “Took.” A flashlight photographer app?arrd n the Walton to-day, bent on taking pic tures of all the headquarters which are in the big hotels. Thel-e weren't a great many statesmen of nati r.al repuiation hanging around the cornd 1* or in the delegation headquarters, but the visitors who were present were ail anxious to have their pictures taken. Wherever the flashlight man set up his apparat is a big crowd gathered, the Soutnern delegates showing a particularly strong and lie to have their pictures taken. They follow ed the photographer from New Yo k's big room at the end of the main corri dor to the Assembly Hall w hich the Ohio delegates occupy,, and from there to the small room wdtieh is the headquarters of the Connecticut outfit. When photo graphs are finished the\ will show that the delegates from ail the states hear a most striking resemblance to one another. Green of Texn*. The best thing here, outside of the mint is deciaral by the Texas delegates to he the Hon. Edward Green, the son of Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in Amer ica. That is to say, a portion of the Texas delegation makes thi- declaration, while the balance of it declares that the Hon. Edward Green is the worst thing on deck. They had an all-fired hot fight in Texas this year for the selection of dele gates to attend this convention. Congress man Haw ley wanted to possess himself of the whole tiling, and Mr. Green w is Just a. anxious.* The result of this is the hot test contest that there is likely to be in the whole convention. Hawley lias the best of it, for the National Committee gave him eighteen delegates to Green'* ten. But the Greenites. under the leader ship of "Goose Neck Bill" McDonald, are going to carry the contest before the con vention if they can. The Hon. Mr. Green's delegates are most of them typical Southern colored men. There are typical colored Southern men too. *n the Hawley delegation. One of them Bt the Waco convention, where the deiegates-at-largo were nomina'ed, said: "Mr. Chahman. Mr. Chnhman, I don't like this heah man Green; he goes around this heait state in his private paycah 1 haling all the niggers in the stale. Yes. Mr. Chahman. that's what he do. He comes to this heah town of Hillsboro in his private pay cah and he sends out around the country for the colored people to come in. and what does he do? Does he give them busthead whisky, what's good enough for them'’ No, Mr. Chah man. they come down to his cah and they go inside, and this man Gteen he pulls out those long bottles of what you call It. wihite sealskin champagne, and he gives it to 'em. He spiles the bowels of them niggers, and they done been a bust ing and a splitting evah since." It need only be added here that, the Hon Mr. Green's delegates are "a-busting and a-splitting” around Philadelphia. The Hon. “Goose Neck" McDonald is one of the most distinguished delegates there are so far on the scene. "Goose Neck," to quote a Texan, is black enough to spite ink. Originally a cotton cutter in the cot ton belt in Texas, McDonald rose in the world to be a school teacher and a politi cian. Now he has got a white house with green blinds in Terrell, Tex. Anybody who has lived in Texas knows what that means. .For the benefit of the Sun readers who have not been in Texas it need only be said that when a man has arisen to the dignity’ of owning a white house with green blinds he has reached the pinnacle of fame. “Goose Neck" McDonald entered politics in 1896, coincident with the son of Hetty ’Green, and of him it is now said that there is no more able colored polti cian in the state. Even Electrici'ty Goes Slow. A delegate from West Virginia was seated in the cafe of the Hotel Bellevue near a touch huttorjr which he poked vi ciously every few moments, says the Tri bune's correspondent. As no waiter an swered hi# call, his anger arose. "What is the matter?” asked Col. Thomas G. McKell, the well-known coal operator and financier of Ohio. "I can't get any answer to this call," he replied. “You blithering idiot, don't you know this is Philadelphia? The electricity has not got to the office yet." "Tim" and Hi* Tally-ho. The candidacy of Lieut. Gov. Woodruff is causing a great deal of quiet amuse ment here. "Timmy," as all the dele gates now call him, is about the only per son, aside from Col. Dady, who takes his candidacy seriously. "Tim’s campaign,” said an old Yale friend of his. "reminds Tne of the first taliyho he owned. Just after Tim grad uated from Yale he acquired a tally-ho, and was very proud of it. He decided to drive out and show it to his grand mother. The old lady was very deaf. They tried to make her Understand that Tim was going to drive past the house in a tally-ho, but she could not hear. Af ter several efforts to make her under stand. they gave It up. When Tim did oome along they picked her up bodily and carried her to the window, and pointed to the taliy-ho "Oh, I see.” said the old lady, 'the circus,' and then she went on with her knitting. The convention is go ing on with its knitting.’’ An I'unnswercd Query. John r. Pettlnger. consul general at Montrial, is hire trying to get a plank In the platform recommending the in crease of consular salaries, says the World's spe ial "I thought I would be able to 10 save a little money.” Mr. Bit t nger said “on my $5 500 salary, but I spend it all and $2,500 a year out of my own pocket for the privilege of serving my country.” A lu:ik Texan looked Mr. Bittinger over, "Why don't you resign?" he asked. Mr. Bittinger has not yet framed his reply. < urc for Fold Feet, There was a little poker game at ons of the ho els last night. One of the Arkansas delegates was in It. He lost steadily and to a Mississippi man. At mid right the Mississippi man stacked up hi* chips and said: “We i, I guess I'll quit.” The Arkansan looked longingly at the stacks of bluts that represented his money, tore open Ills coat and vest, and, leaning across to the Mississippi man. said: "Here, if your feet is cold just warm ’em in my buzzom." Attacked Fellow Prisoner*. Chillicothe, 0.. June 19— Richard Gard ner, the negro in jail here charged wbh the murder of Ethel Long, attacked two fellow prisoners yesterday and. after knocking them down, threw the other prisoners into a panic by threatening them. Turnkey Meredith Interceded and had to club Gardner ipto submission, fell ing him with a mace. The negro was placed In a dungeon. Perfect Digestion Means health.

Office, Savannah, Ga., June 19. Spirits remained firm at 43% cents, with sales of 5,0 at the opening and 200 at the close. The market developed a weakening ten dency towards the close and if this be maintained a slight decline may be ex pected. Buyers were offering 43 cents free ly yesterday, but seemed unwilling to go above that figure, and unless there be some change in the situation the indica tions are that they will carry their point. Receipts heretofore have been applied pretty freely to contracts, the result be ing that factors are likely to have con siderable stock to offer in the open mar ket. The factors were hoping for a de mand which would send prices back to 44 at least, but unless some competition can be aroused among the buyers the turn will be the other w-ay. Rosins r.main firm and unchanged, with good sales at prices quoted.

COTTON FUTURES, New York, June 19.—The cotton market started to-day with prices 1 point lower to 1 point higher, and for a time movc-d scarcely a hair's breadth in either direc tion, with business Immediately following the call singularly flat. Wet weather in the Mississippi Valley regions, and parts of the Atlantic states, together with strong late English cables, subsequently brought about a sharp upward movement which carried August to 8.38 c, nnd Jan uary to 8.60 c. Shorts became apprehen sive of a "round up" particularly ae the rumor gained circulation that the weekly government report would indicate n poor crop outlook. But towards midday aiarming war news began to sift it from the Far East, and very friendly weather predictions made their appearance Shorts were quick to note the change in influences, and only more figured as sell ers, while considerable amounts of long cotton were forced upon the marked Prices dropped quickly under this pres sure which continued into the early afte-- noon.

This report was about what was anticipated, but has not, so far, attracted the outside buying It was expected to do by the local traders. Liverpdbl ‘sold put some of their recent purchases of August. July was easy on the pressure to sell by local longs, who were disappointed the absence of short buying. Indications for better weather had much to do with causing the weak ness before the noon call. Retail and wholesale cotton goods are reported as In slack demand at lower prices. New York. June 19. Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liver pool, unchanged on spots; sales, 8,600 bales. Futures opened 2@3 points higher and closed 3%@4 points above yesterday's close.

June 19.—The liquidation of stocks was rather decisively checked to day. and. as was to be expected, after the considerable decline of yesterday and Saturday, there was a sufficient demand from outstanding shorts to accomplish a rally In prices. There was no evidence of any buying outside this narrow profession al circle, and the demand dwindled away I to practically nothing, as prices rose, oil enlarging fraction over last night’s level ; The room traders turned to the long side, and attempted to bid up prices against the shorts, but they met with very slight success, and a late break in the New York Traction stocks caused a reaction all around, and wiped out pretty much all of the early gains. The selling through cxm. mission houses, which was the meet striking evidence of weakness in yester day's market, indicating as it did. the letting go of stocks by tired investment holders was on a small scale to-day. SelL ; ing orders of this character caused re action after the opening rise in sympathy with London, and the bears started to put out fresh short lines. But they soon dt teeted the cessation of i.qukta.ions. t; 0 large borrowing demand for stock# la* night had served as a warning to the ! bears that the short interest was becoming rather unwieldy, and they followed Lon don's example and started to cover. The market then fell back into its purely pro - fessional character, and drifted rather : aimlessly for the rest of the day, net, changes being slight. The steel group was Inclined to weak ness w-ith the exception of Federal Steel which was firm on expectation of dividend action on the common this afternoon, t'o‘i ion Pacific, both common and preferred Pacific Mail showed notable strength. The cessation of liquidation seems to hav* been caused by a revised estimate of thtf motives of the strength in the whole j market, additional importance being given to the fears of European complications over China, and less apprehension being felt over the crop situation, fact that I foreigners were selling ome wheat in this market <o-day, did not seem to afreet this feeling. Growing attention is being paid to the money market outlook, in view of the shipment of gold to Germany to-day, and the intention to make further ship! ments to France on Thursday. It j s f e | t that this drain on New York’s low level of surplus reserves, joined to domestic conditions, must have an early effect in the local money market. The demand from Berlin is said to be for the purpose of meeting the need for the semi-annual settlements on July 1. This would leave a short period for the continuance of tho demand. The Bank of England lost gold to Germany to-day, and a symptom of its dissatisfaction w'as the raising of the price of gold, three-quarters of a penri an ounce. The price of American eagles, was at the same time advanced one-half penny an ounce, raising the question, whether the Brnlsh Institution is to Join in the demands being made on New York for gold. The sub-treasury is just row making heavy disbursements oh account of pensions, which have been sufficient since Friday, to offset the payments made by the bank, for the gold exported. But the $75,000,000 deposits, called by the gov ernment, are due on next Monday, and no part of the installment has yet been paid by the banks. Meantime. New York Exchange with Chicago to-day fell, front 30 cents to 20 cents premium, indicating a decline in the flow of currency from the interior to New York. The bond market was dull and prices went lower. Total sales, par value, 81 - 275,000. United States new 4 s declined %. and the old 4's and s's 1 g in the bid price.
