The "rounding up" committee has been at work during the past week securing subscriptions among the busings men. and has been success ful. The fair association only lacks about SSOO now of having enough money, and it is thought that this can be raised with out much trouble. A Warm Exrnr*lon. A general row ensued on the excursion train which arrived at Jackson at 8:20 Sat urday evening between a number of white men and negroes, in which one white man •was badly cut. Knives and pistols play ed a prominent part in the fight. One white man came near being dashed head long out of the window for shooting his pistol in the face of a lady. From Flovilla to Jackson the train resembled an armed • rain in a running fight. At nearly every window some drunken man was firing his pistol and making the welkin ring. am Jonea to Move to Atlanta. Bam Jones is about to move his family to Atlanta or to some suburb near that city. Last week he was there looking around for the purpose of purchasing a house, and it is said thauhe will probably take up bis residence near Hapeville. It Is known that he last week looked at sev eral places near Hapeville, and it is be lieved that he has decided upon the one that suits him. Just why he is desirous of leaving his home in Cartersville is not known, but it is claimed that he has lost his grip on the people of that city, and this may be one of the causes of his de siring to make a change in his residence. FLORIDA. Brooksvills Star: Hernando must be Improving. There were only five men killed between January and June terms of the Circuit Court, and not jury trial at the latter term. What a hindrance to crime such courts arc? The criminal “fleeth when no man pursueth.” but can find a haven of rest in Hernando. Dug I p Hi* Coin. Starke Advocate: Jesse Johnson had the misfortune to lose six hundred dollars in hard cash last week. Mr. Johnson had his money buried in his smokehouse, and while he was asleep someone slipped in end dug up the coin. He did not dis cover his loss until the next morning. The authorities are trying every way they can to capture the thieves. County Committee to Help, Jacksonville Metropolis: Next Saturday the Duvel County Democratic Committee will meet, and arrangements will be made to perfect a complete organization of the county. As this committer is purely a local one. they can. and will, take an ac tive interest in the capital removal ques tion.

Getting Ready for Flali, Tampa Times: The warehouses of the Florida Fish Company present a busy scene. In view of the fact that the fish ing reason opens on the 15th of next month, things ore already being put in shape.

The total value of the exports of phos phate, lumber nnd cattle from Tampa for the fiscal year Just closed is 11,546.164. This is the statement issued from the Custom House, and it is a good showing for anew business, or, rather, it is com paratively new, except the phosphite buclness. It Is but recently that ih*> ex port of lumber was an lien there ar all, while the cattle business is divided be tween Tampa and Punta Gorda, owing to the fact that the latter place is close to the range*, an well as Punta Rassa. The esxpor: have begun to grow, and there in every indication that for the ensuing filial year there will be a large Increase In all the exports from that port. Killed n Blk Bonr.

SAD DEATH AT MILLWOOD. Runaway Wedding at W'aycroii, Other Way erase News. Waycross, Ga., July 24 —A sad death oc curred Saturday night at Millwood, in Ware county. Young James Sumner, 25 years of age, succumbed to typhoid fever, from which he had suffered several days. His body was buried in the family lot at Woresboro at 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon, the funeral services being conducted, by Rev. E. M. Whiting. Mr. Sumner was a grandson of Rev. Daniel Morrison, who died just three years ago yesterday. He was a son of Mrs. J. A. Cason, wife of ex-Representative Cason, of this county, and a brother of Mrs. J. G. Bird end Mrs. N W. Williams of this dty. The Ruskin colony people are cultivat ing the C. M. Sweat farm, near the town of Ru~kin. this year. Mr. Clarke of the ■ colony says prospects for a crop are rath er gloomy, owing to the excessive rains a few week:- ago. He expects to reap a fine harvest of hay, however. An exciting marriage was celebrated in this city Sunday, proving again the truth of the oid adage "love laughs at locksmiths.” The immediate family of Miss Georgia Waldron have known for some time that the feeling existing be tween that young lady and Mr. J. E. Bry an was more than mere friendship, and her mother insisted that the matter stop, as she did r.ot desire the marriage to tak* place. A strict watch was put upon the girl to prevent her from meeting young Bryan. She was k*pt away from Sunday School, or' which both were faithful members, be longing to the same class. Sunday after noon. however, according to a prear ranged plan, the young people got togeth er. and in a short while they stood before Judge Burrell Sweat and heard the words uniting them for life. The young lady’s friends and relatives knew noth ing of the affair until it was ail over. The brid* l is a daughter of the lore Banner Waldron of this county, and the groom is a son of Mr. J. W. Bryan, a leading citizen of Traders’ Hill, Cnarl ton county. Mr. Andrew Lee died very suddenly at Waresboro a day or two ago. He was in apparent good health, and talking to a friend only a few minutes before he died.

His remains were taken to the family burying place in Appling for interment. Miss Mamie Strickland of Waycross, and Mr. J. D. Strickland of Stllson, Ga.. were married at the later place Sunday night. They have gone on a bridal trip to Savannah and Tybee. C. H. Lnwther is mentioned as a suc cessor to Lieut. J. C. Brewer of the Rifles, who resigned his position last week. HAD A FIST FIGHT WITH GRANT. WUconnin Fxrmrr Tell* of a Hongh and-Tnmblc Contest in 1800 With the Future General. From the New York Sun. Marshfield, Wis., July 20.—Probably the only man who ever had a rough-and-tum ble fight with U. S. Grant is an old resi dent of Wood county, Don Razin, a far mer living in the town of Rudolph. Forty years ago a controversy arose between the two men, which by mutual consent was settled on the hanks of the Missis sippi near Galena. 111. In the summer of 1860 Dan Razin. guiding his raft of lum ber into the mouth of the Fever river, leading to Galena, encountered Grant in a flat boat. The channel being n nar row one a dispute arose. After exchanging epithets it was decided to have it out on the bank, whither they repaired, accom panied by several men to see the sport and make certain of fair play. Razin was toller and weighed less than his stocky antagonist. He was descended from hardy Irish stock, in his thirtieth year, and a clever man in a wrestling match. Selecting a level green spot the men opened the bottle. At one stage it looked as if Razin would be pounded into insensibility, and then Grant would be forced underneath to receive his share of punishment. For an hour the contest raged fast ond furious until both men were forced to desist from sheer exhaus tion. They shook hands over the result ami were good friends from that time forward. To-day Razin is three score and ten years of age. posssesed of all his faculties and going about his farm duties with the suppleness of a man one-half his years. He is fond of story telling and of liis long lint there is none hr* takes more pleasure in relating, than his fight with the great American general, l\ S. Gram. RERE’S A TRIE “l.l” STORY. Oi!l Number Figure* In n Chain of Coincide nt*. From the New York Press. Here is a thirteen story which will de light the superstitious. It is taken from the records of Bellevue Hospital and s official. Frank Ellwangp r Is 13 years old. He lives with his parents on the third floor of No. 643 East Thirteenth street. No tice that the very number of the house when you add together the three figures wh ch make it up amounts to thirteen. Ellwanger was sitting on the window sill yesterday counting some pennies which he he'd in his hand. His parents said af terward lie had asked for two more pen nies because he had Just thirteen and wanted enough to get a glass of soda wa ter and take a ride on a tro ley car to Harlem Bridge and back. He lost his bal ance and f 11 out of the window three stories to the ground. His skull was frac tured. When the ambulance surgeon from Be’lo.ue Hospital picked him up to ex amine Ms injuries his little hand was clutched tightly around the thirteen pen -1 ni<s. The neighbors gathered around as the ambulance carried the boy away and I gossiped about the remarkable chain of ' thirteen coincidences. Sobrley Mini Posterity. From the Memphis Commercial Appeal A Chicago contemporary propounds the question, "Will poster! y he sober?” Gov. Tann r of Illinois would no doubt trike the negat ve side of this p opositl n. f,r he dees net see how the world could so degen rate as to acquire a state of per manent sobriety. Editor Reaves of the Hardeman Ftee Press has ni fears on the subject, but he sympathizes very deeply with posterity if it should be con demns! to so gloomy a fate. Uncle Hank Watterson has no id a that his m:nt bed will ever become obsolete, while the May or of Atlanta is content to take the fuga cious highball hot from the bat and let posterity take care cf itself.

A small black cat, looking much the worse for wear, delayed a street car in Seventh street just below Race yesterday afternoon for two minutes, caused much excitement among the women who filled the car and furnished great amusement to persons on the street. The cat was lying ii|>on one rail and paid no attention to the car as it approached. “Scat! S ai!" exclaimed the motorman. nt the same time shutting off the current. Pussy blinked sleepily, but did not scat. “Stop the oaf! Stop the car!” command ed several women. The motorman obeyed, but meantime the fender had passed over the black cat without causing it to move. Taking his switch iron, the motorman made a pass at the cause of the trouble. The cat finally moved, but did not improve the situation, going directly under the car. where she l.iv down again. “Goon; goon!” shouted a man from the sidewalk. “The cat is all right!" "No. no!” “Don’t do it!” "You'll kill the ca!” arose in chorus from the excited wo men on the cur. "The motor will smash the animal. You’ll have to back,” said the conductor '.n disgust to the motorman. When the Car had backed the conductor seized pussy by the hack of the neck, car ried her to the sidewalk and dropped her. But the cat was obstinate and landing on her feet made a rush for the track again. The motorman saw her coming and scarf ed his- car quickly. As the hack wheel passed pussy settled comfortably on the I tra< k again, from where she had to be carried before the next car could go by. —One of the oddest things ever pledged , with a pawnbroker was a magnificent I aerolite, which is now on view in a Lon- Idon pawnshop.

Sale, of OHO Casks for the Day. Rosins Firm nnd l nclianged—Cot ton Quiet and Unchanged—Local and Telegraphic Marketa. Morning News Office, July 14. I The feature of the markets to-day was the decline of a cent in the spirits turpen tine market, which went off at the open- I ing. closing firm at 42 cents a gallon. It j was not understood that any business was done after the closing on a lower basis than the closing price. It is by no means certain that the bottom has been reached, however, and the trade will not be sur- | prised to see further declines. The price this day last year was 40% cents. The rosin market closed firm and unchanged, with a somewhat stronger undertone than the closing on yesterday. The cotton mar ket closed quiet and unchanged. The re ceipts were in fair volume, with trading on a very limited scale. The wholesale markets were steady and in the main un changed. The following resume of the . different markets will show the tone and quotations at the closing to-day: COTTON'. The cotton market closed quiet and un changed to-day.

COTTON FITIRES , Market Closes Firm With Price* 7 g 11 Points Higher, New York, July 24.—1 t was mostly a day of professorial trading at the cot ton exchange until w- 11 into the after noon. Neither side had the hacking of the speculative public nor did either the bull or tear faction show the least dis position to take the initiative in a fresh mov ment. The influences at work around the opening were of a bearish character and depre-sed prices somiwhat. But as the ear.y afternoon government crop sum mary for the year was decidedly less fa voiable than looked for, the decline was superseded by a sharp rally. Scalpers from start to finish were the chief part es disturbed by the confl cting Influences and made nervous changes from one side to the o her. The market started steady in tone with prices down 4 to 8 points under 1 ght general selling, led by room longs. Unfavorable cables from both depart ments of the Engdsh market and optimis tic news fr m prHa e sources regarding the crop were the incentives which prompted unloading during the fore-noon. However, tear simulation on the and cllne was not a factor. Later prices advanced on covering. At 1 p. m. the telegraphic summary covering the crop development during the week came over the wire, and far from showing a perfect condition,stat ed that tco much rain, rust and shedding were prominent in some sections, though the crop as a whole had made some fur ther change for the better. Trading la-o in the day was active, hut smacked of professionalism. New Orleans sold spar ingly: Europe bought the near months. Wire business increased and the market finished at top prices. The close was firm with prices net 74/11 points higher. Flnctlintions in Futures. New York. July 24—Cotton futures opened steady and closed -firm.

New York, July 24.—Murphy & Com pany say: Cotton in Liverpool closed 3 to 4 lower than yesterday. This market opened 10 points lower on August and 3 lo 5 points down on new crops, became stead ier on some shorts covering but the un dertone was quiet until the receipt of the government's weekly weather report, the summary of which being less favorable than expected, stimulated the demand for new crop deliveries, causing an advance of about 8 points from the lowest prices of the day, despite the fact that no com plaints have been received from any of the sections referred to as less favorable. Its a bull market and higher prices are looked for. New York, July 24.—Hubbard Bro. & Cos. say; Liverpool followed the decline here of yesterday, closing steady at a loss of three points, but still much higher than this market. Crop reports still continue to show a distinct improvement accord ing to mail and telegraphic advices and there is no improvement in trade condl j tions. The market declined slowly until the publication of the summary of the government weekly report showing less improvement than anticipated, brought a rally. The detailed report by states shows an Improvement in all sections except the Carolinas, where rain is reported as need ed. North Carolina has had showers since the compilation of the report. There is very little doing, the trade being uncer tain between improving crop together with poor trade conditions and the ma nipulation of ihe Liverpool and New Or leans markets. DRY GOODS. New York.

New York, July 24.—Those who have sought to read in the recent stock market a reflection of general conditions outside were still further confounded by the course of to-day’s market. The weakness, which showed progressive development during the day could not be adequately accounted for by anything in the news of the day. Rut as the result of effort? by professional speculators to take profits without any general demand for stock? to absorb the offerings, the day s move*** 41 * was capable of explanation. Efforts were made to sustain the mar ket in the morning by manipulation of a few of the specialties, especially Sugar and the Tobaccos. Eater in the day To bacco was exclusively relied upon as a sustaining influence and Anally that stock, after having been pushed up nearly 6 points, dropped back more than 2 in the general weakness with which the market closed. Tobacco’s net gain is 2%. but all of the earlier rise in Sugar was wiped out. Many stocks show' losses for the day of point or upwards. There was realizing to evidence from the opening, but the first point of acute weakness to develop was in Brooklyn, Transit. For the rest the market showed the natural result of a manipulated advance in the growth to rather topheavy proportions of a long in terest anxious to realize. At the same time the recent forced covering of shorts left the market without support from that source. Doubtless the most potent im fluence in the reaction was the por‘ t * n * tous growl emitted by the recogni;K d cent bear leader from his European r p “ tirement in an interview. The outside interest in the market pro'" ed wholly Inadequate to absorb the ofr pr ings to realize and a rapidly declining scale of prices was the natural r< ** u . There was a feeling of doubt arouse the minds of speculator hy enef skepticism expressed public common • tors over yesterda>‘* was versally attrlbu'** d artificial man P tion. The w-*kly report from the wwrm er burea 1 ’ on the crops showing the of in the corn belt caused re np.-ed apprehension regarding that crop, and the corn-carrying roads suffered ac cordingly. The non-engagement of *°‘® for export yesterday, which caused soma feeling of relief in the then optimistic mocftJ of speculation gave place to-day 1 a fresh conviction that a large outgo ° f gold is imminent and that a period o stringency in the money market later 1 Continued on Ninth Page.
