The fruit men at Griffin are very busy packing and shipping peaches. Nine cars left there Tuesday and more are being packed every day. About twenty cars have been shipped from there already and fifty more are counted on. The recent wet spell cut the crop considerably in that section and it is estimated that at least fifty cars were ruined by it. Clind Man ( Bed Pistol. George Washington, colored, was ar raigned in the Recorder's Court at Macon Tuesday morning on the charge of assault with intent to murder, and was commit ted to the Superior Court on both counts. Washington is the blind negro who Mon day night shot Charley Harvey, another blind negro. The ball, oT 38-caiiber, pass ed through both legs of Harvey, making a painful but not dangerous wound. I*each* Near Americas. Amcrlcus Times-Recorder: Many ship ments of peaches have been made recent ly from points alonf? he Seaboard east end west of Amerlcus, the ereater rmm ber, perhaps, going: forward from Rich land. Five carloads of Klbertns came into Americus yesterday from ihe east and were hurried forward by fast freight, while ton refrigerator cars were carried down to be loaded to-day. 14 is understood that growers here are getting satisfac tory returns. For Spfohfr Pro Tom. Hen. N. A. Morris, representative-elect from Cobb couniy. has entered the race for speaker pro tern, of the House against Mr. Thomas of Mitchell. Mr. Morris served with distinction in the last House and was popular with other members. Ke was re-elec*ed by a large majority and win make n strong race for the position to which he aspires. He is a young man of energy and has a strong following in his county. He graduated from the Univer sity Law School in 1 894. Fltzficraid’ll Fruit Crop. The fruit crop is abundant in the Fitz gerald colony this season. After seeing a failure for two seasons, the colonists who have be*n cultivating fruit have more than realized their most sanguine expec tation.-. The young pea< r> tre#s especially fcave he* n fruitful. The Elbert a variety has been the most popuar there a.s else where. Prices obtained for fruit shipped away have nor been altogether satisfac tory, but they have been as good ns could be reasonably expecred when the high rates of transportation and inexperience of shippers are considered. From two to six carlcade of fruit have been shipped from 4here each week for several weeks past. By another season it is confidently hoped that more satisfactory transporta tion arrangements can be made. Wntmvnrks for the Fnrm. Atlanta Constitution: The State Prison Commission met yesterday afternoon for the purpose of discussing plans for a system of waterworks to be operated at the prison farm near Milledgevllle. No plan could he determined on at the meet ing. but It is practically certain that the work contemplated will cost the state be tween $6,000 and SB,OOO. The farm buildings are at the present time without fire pro tection, although the water system used on the place answers all domestic pur poses. The remarkable success of <hc pris on farm from a humanitarian as well as financial standpoint justifies the commis sion in making the outlay of money which goes to the protection of the state’s prop erty. The indications are that the farm will prove even a greater success this year than it did last year. A greater pro portion of tho laud included in the place has been cultivated and the extent of he work required to protect the crops is sufficient to keep the inmates busy contin ually. Last year instead of being n bur den on the state the prison farm turned out a money-making investment and this year it is probable that an even greater profit will be realized. FLORIDA.

McLnne, a physician well Vi.own at Port Tampa City, was found deed In his bed Tuesday night. He com mitted suicide by taking an overdose of morphine. Before hla tragic detih lie had been acting very strangely, and for some time had been In a melancholy state, as though he was brooding over a lost for tune or the death of a neaty relative.

Howell's, In the idge of Anthony, they i ume upon a monster alligator plod ding along the road as If he had as much right to tile highway as the largest tax payer In the count>, and even more so, os lie refused to give half of the road. Sir. Howell was called out with his gun and other weapons, and after the 'gator was killed his skin was taken off am! is now a souvenir of the event. He was sev eral miles from ary pond or stream. Snake Put Out City Lights. A snake Is a small thing to put out all the electric lights in a town as large as Tampa, but that in Just what one did • few nights ago. It was late at night,. 1 and all at once there was a short circuit on the wires and every light, both arc I and incandescent, went out in the city, i The superintendent of the pow’-r house j and his men b-gan at once to make an : investigation, and they found 'hat an ordi nary moccasin snake hud crawled across the wires and caused all the troub;c. The : snake was, of course, instantly electro cuted w hen he touche I the great feed but all time he had the entire ! city in total darkness for five minutes or more. Solved Pauper Problem. The County Commissioners of Marlon county have solved the problem of caring for the poor. Until now there has been a groat list of pensioners, but a few months ago it was decided to build a county poorhouse and aid only those that were willing to become inmates. Pending the erection of the buildings to be used all county pensioners were required to agree to enter this j>oorhouse as inmates, or lpe their stipend would be cut off. Almost nil failed to consent. By this ac tion alone tne county has saved nearly enough to pay for the buildings that are finished. Mr. E. C. McCloud, a public spirited citizen, donated to the county sixty acres two miles south of Martin, upon which the buildings have been erect ed. This will afford farm employment for many, and will help to sustain the insti tution. There are four plain, substan tial structures, and all are located near the county macadamized hard road. Swallowed ill* Teeth. Jacksonville Metropolis: Councilman Bethel had a thrilling experience yester day, that caused him considerable alarm for a time. He was at hi* place of busi ness yesterday morning discussing street car franchises and other matters, when he was attacked by a fit of coughing. Bethel has often “coughed.” It’s a habit he has, but ir is always due to laughing. On this particular occasion he was con vulsed with laughter, but he stopped very suddenly, and his friends never saw him look so strange. His whole countenance was “seriousness personified.” Now his friends had never seen Tom so serious be fore, and consequently they became alarmed. The 220-pound alderman moved towards a chair, and rolled his eyes "like a dying calf.” He could not speak, but opening his mouth he pointed down his thro.K. when his friends began an inves tigation, and soon realized the difficulty. Beyond his tonsils could be seen the edge of his false teeth. He secured a pair of nippers, and made a determined and des perate effort to dislodge them. He finally caught good hold, and with all his strength gave a pull. The plate and teeth came lip O. K.. but lacerated his throat considerably, and he will be under Dr. Livingston’s treatment for several days. Tlio Rnre Mnnntop. Jacksonville Times-Unlon and Citizen: One of tho rarest animals which Florida alone contril utes to the mammalia of America is the manatee, or sea cow Still rarer, and so far as nquiry goes. unprecedent ed, is the appearance of the animal in the St. John's river. Such appearance, how ever, has been reported on the best of author!’y within ‘be past month. Four weeks ago last Tuesday Arthur D. Stev ens of the Merrill-Stevens Engineering Company, while fishing near his country home at Woodlawn. some six miles below Jacksonville, was surprised to see one of these animals rise less than twenty fe t. from where he was seated in his boat. The manatee rose, showing the head and f re parts above ihe surface of the water, then slowly sinking beneath the surface, swam in full sight by a wrecked vessel and disappeared. Ir was about 12 feet long and w. Uhe 1 probably not far fiom 2.00 J pounds. Two days later a manatee, prob ably the s:me one seen by Mr. Stevens, was seen swimming, a portion of its body being above the surface of hc water, a few m les lower down the river. Other in dications of the same animal have also ban reported by Mr. Stevens and others, who have seen ihe peculiar action cn the surface of the water caused by the mo tion of the flat tail of the manatee, as it moved along under 'lm water. There is little chance that either he or oth°r ob servers could have been mistaken in their Identification of the animal, as all were familiar with the manatee, from frequent ly having seen specimens in the Indian river. C Oil DELE NEWS. Fruit About fin rvented—l.umber Mill Men Not Happy. Cordele, Ga., Sept. 19.—This city seems to he passing through the rest between winding up of fruit season and harvest ing of cotton crop. Our fruit growers com plain of short and damaged crop from <x cessive ra ns. and cotton panters univer sally complain of short crop prospects on account of serious damage from contin uous rains, but are very h peful of good prices to more than off-stand a short (rop. Grain crops are generally good, though the daily rains have greatly im peded even the latter work at this season. Saw mill m* n are the bluest business men at this time, as the demand has been reduced so much in so short a time. Prices have fallen considerably, though prospects of gradual improvement in price is matiif st by the immense reduc tion of supply in Georgia. Mississippi and southwestern rivers have for many months been supplying the demand for cheap lumber, and our mill nun have somewhat suffered front this cause. Our town has now completed its eighth artesian well and in u few days will test it quality and supply. In less than fourteen hours fifteen or more valuable (?) dogs were taken from their owners by a fatal epidemic gener ally attributed <o the wool growers’ ven geance, though nothing definite can be known. The effect has been that our streets have been cleared practically of them and they are receiving better treat ment at home. The manufacturing industry of our town is not on a boom just at present, but it is in sight and many industries are serious ly spoken of. Heath of T. 11. Wooten.

Lasted Two Day* and n BlfiT Snin Way Involved. Columbia, S. C., July 19.—Cotton futures were dealt in nearly a century ago in F’ouih Carolina. Tne information of the fitst record and transaction of this kind is contained in the reminisc nce-s of E. J. Scott, who was the oldest Columbian ai the time of his death a few years ago. having been born in ISO 2. The paper, writ ten for the information And edification of his grandchildren, contains many incl <l< nts cf mere than passing: interest. Gen. Wade Hampton, father of the pres ent venerable soldier and statesman, was a party to the cotton deal, and it is not surpris ng that, as that g ntleman was then the chßf patren of the turf in South Carolina, that a remarkabie horse race was involved. Ainsley Hall, who came from England as a clerk and afterwards established himself here as merchant and cotton buyer, had when the war of 1812 closed a conditional contract with Gen. Hampton for the purchase of Hampton’s three crops of cot on that had teen stored pending the close of hostilities. A large amount was involved, as the General was perhaps the most extensive planter in the state at that time, working hundreds of slaves in his co'lon fields. The sale was made at a stipulated price provided Hall signed his confirmation of the bargain, to Kir’tratrick & Cos., their mutual factors in Charles on, before it was rescinded by Hamptcn's order. The news of peace between England and America was received in Columbia by both Hampton and Hall about the same hour. The latter had not yet confirmed the cotton trade, and as it was know*n that cotton would immediately advance 300 or 400 per cent., and each was interested to the amount of about $40,000 in first com municating with the factor in Charleston the one ro confirm and the other to nul lify the agreement. By the old stage road, which was very rough in those days. Charleston was 127 miles from Columbia and the swiftest com munication was. of course, by mounted messenger. Hall hastened away a little, wiry, tough Scotchman in his employ, mounted on a fleet horse, to close the con tract with Kirkpatrick, while Gen. Hamp ton started his most trusted negro jockey, astride of his best racer, bred and train ed to run eight miles, with a note revoking the conditional contract. The little Scotchman had two hours start and was tokl to win •he race without considering the life of the really splendid horse he mounted. The negro jockey, however, was ordered to ride fast, but with judg ment. and not injure pride of the Hampton stables. It was a remarkably close run tor the distance. Two days of racing brought the embassador of Hall to the door of Kirkpatrick’s office on a horse (hat was dead spent and died of fatigue; ten minutes later, with long, easy stride, the Hampton thoroughbred came to the door, with plenty of reserve force but just losing by a nose one of the biggest purses ever raced for in this country.

RESPONSE TO LOWER LIVERPOOL Cause* Decline. The Aagnnt Option Goes Off 19 Points, and Others Proportion ately, Some Dosing Only 5 Points. Spirits Turpentine Firm nt 44*4 Cents Rosins Firm at Outside Prices Local ami Telegraphic Markets. Morning News Office, July 19. Again the cotton futures market was the theme of local gossip. Following a weak and unexpected Liverpool there was a de cline. the closing being at a loss of 5 and 19 points. Manipulation is believed to be an important factor in the fluctuations, as it is claimed that the weight of the lead ing influences, if considered, would prooa bly have carried prices the other way. Rumors were current that Russia had or would declare war with China, and re ports from the crop belt indicated to a large degree that the crop was a short one in many sections. The naval stores market closed firm, with the entire list of rosins at the out side price. It was understood the de mand was good at the quotations, and that considerable business was, transacted dur ing the day. Spirits turpentine closed firm at HU cents, yesterday’s inside price. There was reported to be a strong under tone to the market. The wholesale mar kets were steady. The following resume of the different markets will show the tone and quotations at the close to-day; COTTON. The coUon market closed quiet and un changed to-day. The receipts were 512 bales, against 61 bales same time last year. There is no iocal demand of any consequence, and factors are hence look ing to the future for business. The sen timent as to the cotton crop for this sea son is far from settled, and until more definite information is received It is like ly prices in the futures markets will con tinue Cos move in the same “wild-cat” manner they did to-day.

New York, July 19.—T0-day's events In the cotton market were anything but smooth and regular. Influences bearing upon the market were numerous and con flicting. while speculation much of Jhe time was active. The market opened 2 points higher to 3 points lower. A quick change of front on the part of Liverpool created distiust in local bull circles and later stampeded longs into an excited dash to unload cotton accumulated yes terday. The hear faction vigorously ham mer and the ent re list, though directing ef forts mor especially against the August op ion w hich for weeks past has been the football of both sides. From 9.12. that con troct tumbled perpendicularly to 9 10, with the new crop options foliowtrg a' a lively rat?. The cables portrayed a panic among hold! rs abroad. The break in the English market was variously attributed to de claration of war against China by Russia, to exceptionally bearish crop reports from the South and to the appearance of large selling ord rs from America. The decline I ere ceased, fo lowlng a rally of 3 points abroad. From 9.10 August here quickly s''ot up to 9.23, after which there was an o lv r weak spot under fresh general sell ing, with Avgust finally resting at 9.15. In the early afternoon shorts became ap -1 r Tensive and In endeavoring to take prefits, forced the summer de'lvery to 9.30. But once more liquidation swept prices downward and during the last hour fluctuations were radial In boh direc tions with the “talent'’ practically In con trol of the market. New Orleans hacked up iis bear principles by selling here cn all the steadier Intervals. The market fin ished the day steady In tone, wbh prices net 5 to 19 points lower. FLUCTI ATIONS IN FUTURES.

S’ovember j May 8.0955.10 Deuembetr ..5.0.@j.02 COTTON LETTERS. New York, July 19.—Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liverpool doted at a net decline of 3-64 to 4-64d on old and 2-64 to 3-64d on new crops, attributed to bearish advice from America, causing realizing sales. The favorable weather over the belt and the belief that the crop has greatly improved this month checks speculative buying on the statistical position, and with poor outlook for good trade causes bearish feeling here for the new crop months. The South being extremely bearish and having quite extended their interest in the mar ket, It’s but natural that reports on the condition of the crop should be rome whai irregular and somewhat exaggerated oil the bear side. New York. July 19.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: Manipulation in Liverpool con tinues to be the main factor in the mar ket, and does not yet appear to be at an end. Opening at 5 to 7 points advance, that market broke to the close, which was barely steady at from 9 to 10 points de cline, or from 2 to 3 points lower than yesterday. Such fluctuations on a demand from spinners for only 4,000 bales carry their own comment as to the cause and effect. Such legitimate factors as have appeared are against an advance, viz: Lack of demand from spinners, poor trade and favorable weather for the crop, but as stated yesterday, they naturally receive no consideration in such a market as we are now having. After the close of Liver pool and the transactions here, the mar ket became very quiet, with trade looking for a recovery in Liverpool to-morrow from the decline of to-day. DHY GOODS. New York.

Advices in the rice market from the South note fair movement on the Atlantic coast, the ratio being sufficient to leave market bare of supply for local use. be fore new crop is safe to handle. Tho growing crop is backward, otherwise present, conditions are favorable. In Louisiana. the market for clean ed is mainly swapping between dealers, hut there sufficient inquiry from the outside to leave stocks each day smaller han before. Dealers are turning the searchlight on warehouses and mills, as it will soon be an important item, as to where local supplies nre to be obtain ed. The crop now under cultivation looks promising. Both river and Southwest crops are late, and while gleanings of specially favored spots may come in ear ly. yet the main crop is from two to three weeks late. . Cables and correspondence from abroad note firm markets, and qualities such as find favor in the United States have been marked up quite an item. Latest cables from India note general rains in part of the famine district, and some progress has been made toward seeding crops. The distress now’ so severe will likely he aug mented, as a considerable period will elapse before harvest can be entered upon.

Year the Close tile Dullness Was Greatly Relieved. New York. July 19.—The dullness of to day’s stock market was almost unrelieved 'by any feature of interest until the last hour when a sharp upward movement de veloped in a number of specialties. This was sufficient to induce a sluggish general recovery in the market, which had fallen considerably below last night at some points. The closing tvas. therefore, firm hut dull, and the net changes were inslgnifi- cant except in a handful of stocks. Sugar led the late advance and moved up an ex treme 3% on the expectation of a further rise in the price of the refined product, which is now higher than for several years past. The margin between the price of the raw* and refined sugar is now suffi cient, according to the experts, to yield a large profit on refining. Pacific. Mail rose sharply over Tuesday's high level on renewed speculation over the benefits to accrue from transport of mili tary stores- 10 China. The steel stocks were generally strong on the encouraging views of the Iron Age of the trade out look. Steel Hoop and Tin Plate were es pecially affected on reports of renewal of buying demand for their products. Other wise the market was barren of interest. The growing seriousness of the situation in China must he ascribed as the chief im mediate cause of to-day’s dullness. The result most to be apprehended from th Chinese war seemed to be the effect on the money markets of the world. To-day's advance from 3 to 4 per cent, in the Bank of England minimum rate of discount and the departure of a steamer hearing over $2,000,000 in gold from New* York w’ere the impressive facts which called attention to this feature of the situation. The Bank of England, in its semi-governmental capac ity, lias used its own and the government resources for some time past to help the London money market. The Bank of England appeared in the market as a purchaser of gold to-day. This seems to clearly foreshadow a policy of retrench ment nnd recuperation on the part of tho English institution. If it is to seek gold by special inducements, (he supply will almost certainly be drawn from New York. To-day’s sterling rate, in fact, advanced V4C and there is some expectation that gold w’ill be shipped to London on Saturday’s steamer. There is undoubtedly consid erable apprehension that this new demand on New York Lank reserves may be joined to the recall of the funds by interior insti tutions later on and deplete the available money supply, it is a fact that very Ib tle money is offering for loans/ at four months or over and all offerings arc read ily absorbed at a relatively high rate. There is to be considered tho prospective, fore.gn demand for gold, the demand for crop moving pur|>oses and the requirements for meeting the surplus in government rev enue. the latter being considerably modi fied at this time by special causes. The bond market was very dull and ir regular. Total sales, par value. $1,035.- 090. United States 3s registered advanced %. the refunding 2s when issued and the 5S Vi, and old 4s Vs in the bid price.
