He also had a Winchester strapped to hla body which he had been carrying to his work for some time. He had threatened several whites and colored people and evidently expected trouble.

Orange groves will be in de mand next winter. Damage by Lightning. There was a chance Wednesday to cal culate the damage done by the lightning during the storm at Tampa Tuesday night.

The animal was making a meal off the young corn when sighted and showed fight, but retired re luctantly Into the swamp as the overseer and hands made for the house for guns and dogs. One negro remained behind and In the absence of the rest pursued the sow and litter. When ehe had gained her native heath she turned upon her pursuer and In a most ferocious manner charged upon him. He fled and took refuge, after a chase of a quarter of a mile. In a tree. The foaming beast took up her patrol about the base and watched for more than an hour, when rescue came In the shape of a posse and a pack of hounds. A dozen shots were fired Into her carcass and sev eral dogs were disabled. After a terrific fight she was cornered and confined in a stout pen built around her. A Valuable Violin. Fort Valley.

Bnsiness on the Whole Was Considered Satisfac tory—Cotton Market Qnlet and In changed Throughout the Week. Spirits Tnrpentine Drops From 42 on Tuesday to 40 Cents—Local and Telegraphic MnrUets. Morning News Office, Aug. 3. Fairly good showings were made In the local markets during the past week, though In some branches there was a de cided falling off. which indicated at the closing to-day that still further losses may be looked for before the bottom Is struck. The turpentine market is up against a brick wall, as It were, due to the fact that the demand has diminished In anticipation of heavy receipts during August. Until another view is taken of the outlook. It is not likely there will be any improvement in the demand, which may cause the present dullness to continue in this market. On the whole, however, the week's business show ing was a good one. as evi denced by the clearing house statement, which shows an increase in the week’s clearings as compared with the previous week of $1.547,508.44. The clearings for the week were $3,582,633.17. During last year Savannah made a fine record In point of Increase over the previous year’s clear ings, and'it Is believed by many that the same, if not a better showing, will be re peated this year. The cotton market remained quiet and unchanged throughout the week, with the demand light, and the volume of business on a small scale. The receipts for the week were in fair volume. Until the bus iness of the new- season begins the local trade do not look for any great activity. The- gains scored in the naval stores market during the past week were not well supported, as is shown by the weak ness which exists towards the closing. Spirits turpentine got as high as 42 cents on last Tuesday, when the market was reported firm, but it later reacted, get ting down to 40 cents, at which the de mand is light and the outlook for the maintenance of the price anything but favorable. The rosin market remained in pretty firm condition all the week, though there wets a loss of 5 cents on M and above on Wednesday. On Thursday Water White closed at $2.60 and $2.65. and Window Glass at $2.30 ond $2.35. These were the only changes In price. There was a fair de mand during the week, though it was not such as to keep factors entirely free from accumulations. The receipts were in fair volume. Sales for the week approxi mated 6,000 barrels. Reports from the country, and partic ularly in the southern part of Georgia and in Alabama, indicate rains which have hindered producers some in gather ing stuff, and have consequently had some effect as seen in a slight lessening In the recelpla. Labor troubles are also still interrupting producers in the prosecution of their work. Upon the receipts of turpentine during August will depend upon the condition of the market. The past week broqght rev elations which have cast an entire change over the situation, and caused buyers to come to a standstill. It is shown that the receipts for July were 10 per cent, ahead of any previous July. Until this was apparent buyers accepted the belief as practically confirmed lhat the receipts during August tvould, as usual, be very light. Since it is shown that* there was such n large increase in July receipts, however, they are backward about ac cepting this ns true. They now believe receipts for August will be large, and that as a result, they will be able to get in the market on better terms. They look for accumulations in factors' hands that will force them to make liberal conces sions . That there Is something in the conten tion is shown by the comparatively good receipts during the opening days of Au gust, and the consequent falling off of the market, which has declined, since Tuesday, from 42 to 40 cents. In view oi the fact that the demand is light, it is thought probable there may be further declines shortly, especially as there are not evidences of a let up in the receipts. COTTON. There were few developments of Interest In the coiton market during the past week. The price remained unchanged, and the tone of the market quiet, with prac tically no business doing. The week’s re celpis were 1,121. and the exports 2,674 up lands and 310 sea i-dands. The day’s re ceipts were 72, against 25 last year, and for the season so far 1,081543. aga nst 1.- 042.799 last year.

New York, Aug. 3.—The pressure of cot ton was general except for occasional and brief intervals of reaction, with a very few houses buying on the reaction, the ordinary following the belief that the market had been oversold. Opening steady at a decline of 2@7 points under adverse cables the market soon became unsettled and selling was active by all classes of traders. Prices broke oifil6 points more. Crop accounts were generally brilliant, reports from the South indicated an in creased desire to sell spot cotton while spinner* showed a procrastinating policy, and dry goods people reported an unsatis factory call for cotton good*. Reports from sections where picking is In general progress indicate a generous harvest and a good quality of lint. lajcal traders have been taking this to mean an early move ment of the new crop with only a small volume of speculation to help bear the burden of receipts. On this account the feeling in local professional circles remains benrlsh. During the afiernoon the mar ket was particularly nervous with a wide range of variations. Prices broke lo ihc lowest of the day under stop orders. The market was finally quiet at a net loes of 8 to 18 points. FLUCTUATIONS IN FUTURES. Nw York.

New York, Aug. 3.—Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liverpool closed l-32d lower cn spots. Futures closed 3-64d lower on near and 1-64 to 2-64d on distant months. These advices considered unfavorable, conse quently with favorable crop reports our market opened from 3 to 5 poims lower and the tendency downward, August again showing the greatest weakness, selling down to 8.51 c. or 19 points lower than pre vious close, but rallied to 8.68 c on covering shorts and buying by conservative inter ests, who regard the decline sufficient in the face of the strong statistical position. The new crop options' also had a rally of 3to 5 points. There seems to be a good demand arourqd 8 cents for January deliv ery. which is holding the market. If shorts can cover around this figure we think it advisable to do so, for the reason that nothing but bearish news has been coming to the market for the past ten days, and any bullish news would cause quite an upturn on account of extreme short interest. The best-posted people In the South en gaged In the cotton trade claim that there will be no pressure on September or Octo ber spots, that planters are likely to hold for good prices as they are financially able to do so to a greater extent than ever be fore. We are inclined to favor the long side after this decline. Cotton since noon has been quiet and featureless. The demand for January de livery at 8 cents still prevails. A Liver pool cable Just to hand says: “Good business in Manchester. Expect some reaction after the holidays (that market will remain closed until Tuesday next), and probably abetted spot busi ness." New York, Aug. 3-Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: Crop advices continue to be of such a favorable nature from eve r y sec tion of the cotton belt, except Mississippi, that the market has shown a weaker un dertone. There has also been a further tender of e:me cotton which will not de liver on Liverpool contracts, which has weakened August relatively as compared with the distant de'ivories. Some of the Liverpool holdings which were expected to have been shipped have been sold at the decline. Fluctuations in that position were most erratic, due to the differently executed orders. A feature was the con tinued large buying of October, which ler.ded to support the,new crops. Weaiher conditions throughout the South were fa vorable for a further development of the crop. No new cotton appeared at Galves ton to-day, as expected advices from man ufacturing centers were of a disappo ni ing character. WEEKLY COTTON REPORTS.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE.—The turpen tine market dropped a cent to-day, the opening being firm at 41 cents and the closing firm at 40 cents, w-ith reported sales at the latter price of 500 casks. It was not understood that any considerable bid ding was done after the closing, and the current impression in some quarters was that the undertone was rather quiet. The demand is to what the trade would like to have it. During the week market conditions have been anything but favor able, and the closing to-day tells the story as compared with the price during the week, which was at one time up to 42. The market struck a donward turn during the early days, and has continued to drop off since, the main cause being the complete lack of support from ing element. The receipts for the 'week were 10,700. against 8.569 last year, and the exports 4.100, against 3,391 last year. The exports went to New York 985. to the Ul terior 418, to Hamburg 947. and to Rotter dam 1,750. ROSINS—The rosin market closed un changed to-day except as to the two high er grades, which settled down firm at tho outside price. There was a fair demand during the week, though the market was not on a boom by any means. The sales to-day were 3.883 at the opening, and 883 at the closing. The day's receipts were 5,106, and the exports 3,300. The receipts for the week were 25.875, against 27,754 last year, and the exports 33,188, against 25.806 last year. The exports went to New York 7,915, to Philadelphia 1,196. to Baltimore 8,016, to the interior 373, to Hamburg 5,608. to Rotterdam 4,500, and to Gutujewskl 5,580.

II 1 STOCKS AND BONDS. New York, Aug. 3.—Sugar. Brooklyn Transit, Baltimore and Ohio and Union Pacific fell somewhat into the back ground to-day. An effort wan made by the traders to bring forward some of tha other railroad stocks to take the place of these recent favorites. These did not avail to fill up the gap left by the quietude of mercurial specialties, but the day * deal ings had an appearance of rather belter distribution as a result of these new ele ments of activity and the general tone of the market was firm and approached to positive strength at times. The center of this strength was tha granger group, which was favorably af fected by the Bhow of Increased earning* for the fourth week In July by the St. Paul system. The showing was particu larly effective because it compared with n very high level of earnings last year, and because St. Paul has rather been looked upon as the leader of the reaction ary tendency In railroad earnings Incident to the falling off In general bu-lness. Thera was no special feature of traffic to explaia
