Canned Muoh Kruit. Sandersviile Progress: A large quantity of fruit has been canned in Washington county this year. The small canning out fits which are used for this purpose are a great convenience to the people generally. Some of the owners of these outfits have gone to the homes of the owners of the orchards and canned the fruit on shares. There is a large crop of pears now ma turing, and as this is one of the best varieties of fruit for canning no doubt much of it will be saved in this way in stead of allowing it to fall off and decay. Has Three Caitnitig Factories. Butler Herald: Reynolds has three can ning factories which turn out several hun dred cans of fruit and vegetables daily, the most important of which is that of Mr. E. H. Marshall. He has an excellent process of canning and has already turn ed out about 15,000 cans of fruit and vege tables. We have tried some of the fruit canned by Mr. Marshall and found it to be the best we have eaten. The machine used by Mr. Marshall is simple and every family should have one of their own. Mr. Marshall uses the tin can and is guaran teed to keep good for several years. Cnmminnion to J. H. Tipton. Governor Candler issued a commission Monday to J. H. Tipton of Worth county, to be solicitor of the Worth county court. Solicitor Tipton succeeds himself in the office, being appointed by the Governor on the etrong recommendation of the Judge and solicitor of the circuit court and a majority of the members of the Worth county bar. There were three applicants for the position, but the strongest in dorsements were presented by Solicitor Tipton, who, though not a supporter of Governor Candler, was promptly appoint ed on the ground that he was the best man for the place. After a liana way Detective. Judge Candler of the Superior Court of Fulton couwty wants Dave Looney, for merly a city detective, who is under sen tence to serve twenty days in jail for the offense of tampering with a juror by the name of Jeff Penn, and has instructed Sheriff Nelms to nee every effort to ar rest Looney and place him in jail. Loo ney is under bond of SI,OOO. which he gave pending a review of his case by the Su preme Court. A few days before the Su preme Court rendered a decision in the case, which was against the ex-detective, Looney left Atlanta and took up his resi dence in Cornelia.

Monday it was learned that Looney was located in the section of Cedortown. and on effort will b* made to get him and bring him back to Atlanta. The news that tho ex-de tective was In or about Cedartawn came in the nature of a telegram to Sheriff Nelms, asking if .there was a reward for Looney. The sheriff answered there was none, but that he would personally give $lO for Looney's arrest. Judge Candler says that he has no authority to offer a reward for Looney, but impressed upon Sheriff Nelms the importance of hi using every effort to secure the ex-dctectlve’s arrest. FLORIDA.

Tampa Times: The people of Tampa are deeply indebted to Dr. W. F. Brunner, the health officer at Savannah, for his con servative and wise course in the emergency through which we have just passed.

The Trades Council is made up of recognized bodies of organized labor, repr s ming about 1.000 workmen, and the picnic will receive support of every mer chant end busimss man here, all of whom with p ssibly a few exceptions, being earnest advocates of organization of workmen. % qnnrnnline Story, Tampa Tribune: G. O. Turner, the well known liveryman, was in a peculiar pre dicament Sunday last. He went out on Saturday, it seems, to spend a day at Sulphur Spring, and when he started to return, found to his amazement that he could not pass the guard stationed at the bridge. Thus we see that even the ten der ties that bind husband and wife, father and children, become as nnught in a yel low fever quarantine. At last reports. Mr. Turner was threatening to swim the Hillsborough and walk to Tampa, and had to l>e forcibly restrained from carrying his threat into execution. Another Hardwood Plant. Martin, Fla.. correspondence of Morning News: Mr. Brown, who is the manager of the North Carolina and Vir ginia W heel Company, has just been in Florida for the purpose of locating anoth er hardwood plant. The company re cently sustained a great loss in the burn ing of their plant together with about $273,- 000 worth of material, the total loss aggre gating $300,000. They have a plant at Fairfield, Fla., now’ in operation. The truckers are preparing their lands for another cabbage crop, and it is hoped they will succeed this time, for they lost their entire cabbage crops the past two seasons on account of severe cold. Clinked to Dentli. Choked to death on his false teeth is the fate that befell D. W Bingham, a promi ment farmer of Bradford county, at his home near Starke Monday night. Mr. Bingham was enting supper at the time of the unusual accident. He placed a piece of beefsteak in his mouth and be gan chewing it with his artificial teeth. The meat was unusually tough and before it was sufficiently masticated for swal lowing the false teeth were displaced. They slipped down his throat and lodged in the windpipe, effectually closing the avenue of respiration and slowly choking Mr. Bingham to death. His struggles to free his throat from the impediment were ter rible to witness. He fell on the floor and rolled over in the keenest agony, groan ing inwardly as the false teeth lacerated the interior of his throat. He died in fifteen minutes- after the teeth were dis placed. Mr. Bingham was a reliable citi zen and a large number of friends mourn his death. Florida's Treasnry Report.

Thursday night, how ever. a climax was reached when about a dozen masked men proceeded to the quartets of a turpentine camp, and, call ing out the occupants, who were qjpstly n< groes, tiled several volleys from Win- rifles ard shotguns into their midst. One negro was instantly killed and four danger usly wounded, two of whom are reported as having dUd Monday morn ing. The firing was kept up for several minutes, but no one else was hit, as at the first volley, all ran back and hatred the doors and windows, thus escaping a wholesale killing. The coroner’s jury ver dict was tha the dead negro met his death from gunshot wounds, inflicted by unknown parties. Two farmers are sus pected. and have been jailed. The arrest of two suspects was thought to have had a quieting effect on the lawless element, but such is not the case. Saturday morn ing. wh.le a white man was at his post of duty in the turpentine district, he was suddenly confronted by a nan in dis guise, and told to “move on. and not come back.” Failing to “move” as fast as his unwelcome visitor would wish, a few shots were tired, which had the de sired effect of electrifying him. DAGGETT'S BODY FOIXD. Discovered a Mile From Where the Tragedy Oeenrred. From the Charleston News and Courier, % Aug. 8. The searching patty, headed by Mr. Chri ; Fitter, on the sloop Catherine, which had been chartered by Stonewall Lodge, K. of P., went down to Kiawah yester day to look for the bodirs of Mr. Walter Daggett and Mr. Lindsay Hipe and found both at about 8 o’clock in the morning. The body of Mr. Daggett was washed up on the beach of Bird Island, a small sandy islet just opposite Kiawah, and about one mile from the scene of the ac cident. Mr. Hope’s body was found on the back beach of Kiawah Island, about cne quarter of a mile from the other The bodies were put on beard the sloop as quickly as possible and wiih this sad lead the searchers leturned to the city last night. Coroner Duffus viewed the remains and then they were taken to undertakers’ rooms to be prepared for burial. In or der to comply with the law an inquest must be held, but, of course, there is no djubt in any on-’s mind about the cause of death. The bodies were net mutilated in any way to suggest an attack by sharks, as was once urged, but they must have evidently either given up from fa tigue or been seized with cramps. The funeral services of the late Walter L. Daggett will be held at Magnolia Cem etery at 5:30 o’clock. The funeral services of the late Mr. Hope will be held in Bethel M. E.

No trans actions were reported for the day. While the local spot market went off the futures market went the other way, scoring an ad vance of 9 and 12 points in response to strong advices from Liverpool and an ad vance in that market. News from the crop belt was calculated to make shorts nervous, and in the afternoon their efforts to cover was to some extent responsible for the buoyant tone the market. The turpentine market closed firm at 39*4 cents, with a fair demand for the of ferings. Factors were making deliveries quite freely, it was reported. The ad vance in rosins after the close was the feature of the naval stores trading. The higher grades sold off, while the lower grades sold at an advance on the closing quotations. The demand was good and the market apparently well supported. The wholesale markets were steady. The following resume of the different markets will show the tone and quotations at the closing to-day; COTTON. The cotton market closed nominal to day at a decline of >4 cent on all grades.

New York, Aug. B.—The cotton market showed considerable irregularity and ex citement all day with the speculation heavy. The opening call was favorably influenced by local. Southern and for eign buying orders which caused an ad vance of I@s points. Public speculative interest on the bull side was not satisfac tory, however, and the local bear raid soon disposed of the early improvement. Later urgent foreign end Southern de- mand made its appearance and values soon worked their way up to a level 10015 points above the closing of the previous day's figures. A rather firmer general sentiment became apparent. The basis for the change was a degree of conflict in tile crop accounts. The bull contin gent also had the advantage of small new crop receipts. At all points they fell be low the recent full average'. During the afternoon the feature of the trading was furnished by the shorts who lost no op portunity to cover. There was no rush of new specula five buying, however, some of the traders here, basing their views ot private cables, predicted a bullish Liverpol opening to-morrow following a reconsideration of yesterday’s weekly crop report from Washington. The gov ernment report due next Friday was also feared, and as the market has thus sustained a considerable decline conserv ative shorts preferred to place themselves in a position for an unprejudiced view of the situation upon the appearance of the bureau report for August, one of the most important statements of the season Closed very steady at a net rise of 10 to 12 points.

B.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say; The advance in Liverpool to-day was a sharp answer to our advance of yester day and found response at our opening. From this point there was a recession caused by realizing by yesterday’s buy ers being a decline of 5 points. Liverpool closing steady at the best prices led to increased buying here for local account and covering by the shorts, who feel the bureau report may not show the improve ment which private advices report as hav ing occurred during July. Commission merchants receive many favorable reports from the crop and the weather appears good for a continued improvement. The trade, however, are uneasy over the ap proach of the bureau report and the local rains in Texas. This character of weath er in the past has generally made a large yield, but the small supply creates good uneasiness at the possibilities of injury. New York, Aug. B.—Murphy & Cos. say: Liverpool sent surprisingly strong advices this morning and caused a rather feverish opening, though this market did not re spond to the bullish cables, and at the advance bears sold freely. Liverpool bought near and sold far months. Trad ing has been on a large scale and the market has ruled very feverish and irreg ular. Weather reports not favorable. Our advices from South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia not very good. We look for an erratic market pending the bureau report and expect further advance unless crop accounts become decidedly more favor able. The bureau is expected to show an improvement of 8 to 10 per cent. If it only reports a condition of 80 against 70 last month the market would probably im prove, as the interest is an unusually short one. DRY GOODS. New York, Aug.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE—The turpen tine market closed firm to-day at 39% cents, with a good demand for the offer ings. Factors applied* receipts to con tracts freely, so that the offerings in the open market were not reported to be large. Some foreign demand sprung up, it was reported, and other conditions con tributed to give the situation a firmer tone. A considerable element of the trade believe that the bottom has been reached, and do not, therefore, anticipate any fur-' ther immediate declines. The day's re ceipts were 1,515, sales 300, and the ex ports 232. ROSINS—The rosin market closed firm at an advance of five cents on grades I, K and N. At the opening there were re ported sales of 871 barrels, which con stituted the day's official business. After the closing there was considerable business done, and prices accordingly changed.

The Movement of Price* Trivial and Innitfniflcnnt. New York, Aug. B.—The stock market to-day was even duller than yesterday and the movement of prices was trivial and insignificant without any important exception. The room traders sold stocks in the mroning impelled apparently by the heavy volume of gold to be exported. Estimates “were put out that the amount of shipments to-day and to-morrow would amount up to over $7,006,000. When it was seen that the total would not exceed $5,- 300,000 the room shorts covered. The market closed practically lifeless near to last night’s level. Yesterday's ad vancing tendency in United States Rub ber was contested, and that stock was quite active and feverish, running over 134 and closing at a net gain of %. There was the usual professional dealing in Su gar and Brooklyn Transit, the latter suf fering from the delay in publication of the annual report which has been promised at various times. The large American, subscriptions to the new British exche quer bond® continued to absorb a largo amount of discussion and surmise in Wall street. As an evidence of the large re sources of capital available to the coun try the incident was generally accepted as subject for national congratulation, but as an evidence of the acute pressure to which the London money market is be ing subjected and possible results on the world at large of these conditions, it was not regarded as reassuring. It is evident from the public criticism in England of the large allotment made to the United States and the apo!ogelc tone of the explanation to Parliament by the chancellor of the exchequer, that the policy adopted was forced by money con siderations which might also he classed as embarrassed. The real cause looming big behind the movement of gold is the expenditure and preparations for war, shown by the efforts to replenish the na tional treasure chests. To-morrow's ship ments of gold to Paris show that that cen ter is still in competition with London for the precious metal and 1 the piling up of reserves by the Bank of France is now commonly accepted as a preparation for a Russian loan said to amount to $200,- 000,000. The news of renewed attacks on the legations in Pekin, the progress of hostilities involved in the march on Pe kin and the language of the Queen's ad dress in proroguing Parliament ail gave force to these considerations and con tributed to the profound dullness of spec ulation in securities, not only in New York, but in all the great financial mar kets. Bonds were neglected and irregular. Total sales par value, $875,000. U. S. new fours declined %. and the threes and* old fours % in the bid price. The total sales of stocks to-day were 114,000 shares, including Union Pacific, 9,182; Brooklyn, 17.085; Sugar. 14.010. New York Stock List.
