Way cross Journal: If the papers are correct in their estimates, Savannah has no kick coming on account of the work of the enumerators. According to the Morning News, the population of that city will approximate 55.000. The census of 1890 gave Savannah a population of 41.108 and the present census shows a gain of 13.892. or nearly 34 per cent Cincinnati, O . now has a population of just 325,902, a gain in ten years of only 9.77 per cent.

Pensacola News: Maria Ollcares and Concha Gutreres, the Mexican girls ar rested yesterday for keeping a disorderly house, created quite a sensaiion at the police station when one of them reached down in her hosiery and brought forth a handful of magnificent diamonds and an elegant gold watch. One of the gems was sent out to a pawnshop and pledged for SSO, with which the girls paid their tine and left the station. The diamonds are said to he very fine and the lot is valued at thousands of dollars. It is now' said that these same girls were seen re cently at Jacksonville, Fla. A Big Brick Concern. The Escambia Manufacturing Company, briekmakers, of Pensacola, has made ar rangements to greatly increase Its capi tal and be able to produce 50.000 brick daily. Mr. A. C. Berry, a member of the 11 rm, has recently returned from Alabama points, where he went to investigate the brick manufacturing plants there, and says his company will shortly be incor porated under the laws of ‘Florida, and that new machinery and anew process will at once he installed. While the com pany now supplies a large local demand, it is Its purpose to do an export business, sending a large portion of their product to Cuba and Central American points. Steamer* \ ntagonl/.e L. A X. The Hollander Line steamer Michigan is transporting grain and other freight from Mobile to Pensacola. This action of the steamship company, when it be came generally known, caused a great deal of discussion on the streets among Pensacolians, for it is an acknowledged antagonism of the Louisville and Nash ville Railroad in handling freight for Pen sacola. When the Hollander Line agent was in Pensacola some time ago to ar range preliminaries for his firm, he saw the local officers of the Louisville and Nashville and proposed that if said road would nllow’ him the use of a wharf his line would not handle inbound freight. This proposition was refused, and conse quently. in conjunction with the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, the steamers will bring in freight and compete with the liOuisville and Nashville. Return car goes will he loaded -here for Atlantic coast points. Tnmpa I* All Right. Tampa Tribune: The assurance that Tampa has successfully passed its fever scare was made practically certain yester day, when another day passed without suspicious developments. Drs. Porter and White did not issue a statement again last night. Dr. Porter saying that there was absolutely nothing to report. “We are merely waiting for the completion of the house-to-house Inspection," said Dr. Porter. No announcement has been made positively by the doctor of the date for the raising of quarantine, but there are good grounds for believing that all re strictions will be removed on Saturday or Monday. Some excitement was caused yesterday morning by the rumor on the streets that C. P. Baker, bookkeeper of the Tampa Naval Stores Company, one of the suspicious cases formerly reported, had suffered a relapse. Dr. Bird, who is attending Mr. Baker, states that he is again ill, but that the new ailment has no connection with the old. TALES OF THE BULLFROG. When Irritated He Will Attack Goldflnli—One Selr.eil a Sparrow. From the Hartford (Conn ) Time* . "Oh! mamma, did you that horrid bullfrog jump for the goldfish?" was the exclamation of a pretty little fot as she stood with her mother looking at the grid fish in the pond in Bushnell park on Thursday. The child followed with her eyes the tiny fish and its hideous pursuer and watched with evident pleasure the distance between the two lengthen'ng un til the fish was out of danger. Policeman Strickland, who has been do ing police duty on the park for a number of years, is probably more familiar with the habits of the denizens of the rond than any one else in the city. Mr. Strick land says that the bull frogs do not ha bi ually prey on the fish. The ugly-loDk ing creatures li\e in harmony, as a rule, with their beautiful n. ighbors. But occa sionally a bullfrog is seen eating a fish, (ifficer Ptrlckltnd dots not believe that the pangs of hunger excite the frogs to make an attack on the Ashes. They will not molest them in ordinary circum stances. It is only when the fish provoke them that they will make an attack. When the fishes congregate In large s hods to nibble at the crumbs thrown into the water, they jostle ar.d Jump over each other. It sometimes happens that at these feasts a trog will be enjoying a siesta in the shade of the leaf cf an aquatic plant or a tuft of grass. The quick movements of the nimble fish in their bright hues of scarlet, made more brilliant by the rays of the sun. disturb the slothful creature near the bank. Its bulging eyes assume a fierce expression, and a discordant croak from its distended throat indicates its ris ing wrath. It watches the feasting beau tit s for a few minutes, and then with a gulping sound it springs among them. It always catches one in its wide mouth, and proceeds to devour its victim more in auger than to satisfy hunger. It is a well known act that the shaking of any thing bright or red in front of a frog Irritates it beyend endurance. Thoee who make a business of catching frogs, knowing tl at the creatures’ temp ers are affected by the quick movements Qf anything of a red color, use a piece of red flannel as bait. The active move ments of the goldfish have the same ef feet on the frogs as bait. So long a* the fish swim slowly by the frogs the latter will not mob st them. Officer Si lick land ul’s the story of a vo racious bullfrog that Is worth repeating. He vouches for the accuracy of it, he having seen the fr g a -d the fish. A frog caught an unusual y large goldfish one day and swam to a pond Illy leaf to de vour it at its ease. The head of the fish was in the frog’s mouth and the great er part of the bedy an 1 tail protrude! out of it The fish wriggled quite violently for a few minutes and thn died. Hut the frog was in able to devour it. and made movements which indicated a desire to he relieved of the surplus portion of the flsh w hich it could not conveniently And room for. But the fish, before it died, had wrig gled itself too far down the frog's throat to be ejected, end there It stuck. The frog remained on the leaf In an appar ently comat se sta r for forty-eight hours until it had digested the entire fish. A frog was seen one day in the pond, catching a sparrow and carrying it to its slimy quarters b.math the surface of the water. The frog was an old one and was of enormous size, it was seated among tall grass when a child threw crumbs into tnc water for the goldfish. Some of the crumbs fell on a large leaf, and a spar row'. hungry, for its m al, had the temer ity to fly from the branch of a tree on to the leaf to pick n crumb. As the bird lUhted on the leaf the frog made a quick Jump and landed right on top of the In truder. There was an agitated flutter and a cry of despair from the bird as the frog seized It and dived with it beneath the water. W. F. lIAMILTON, Artesian Well Contractor, OCALA. FLA.

CONFEDERATE GENERALS. THE NUMBER OP THOSE WHO WERE NORTHERN BORN NOW VERY SMALL. A Sketch of the Wife of Bishop Weed—Some Foot* Ahont Col. Cor tie Guild—Advice to Jacksonville Military Men—An Extract Front Gov. O’FcrralPs Address Other Matters of General Interest Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla., Aug. 11.—The death of Gen. Zeb York, in Mis sissippi, last week, reduces the very small number of Northern-born Confederate gen erals. Maine, his native state, also gave Gen. Danville Leadbetter to the Confed erate cause from Alabama. York was not a West Pointer, Ike Leadbetter, but came of good old Revolutionary fighting stock. Ensign Jere York being in the United States army in 1813. Gen. S. G. French, now of Pensacola, Fla., and Gen. D. M. Frost, of St. Louis, Mo., are the only sur viving Northern Confederate generals I can call to mind off-hand, but the list of those now dead is qui e extend' and. The handsomest solid Confederate badge 1 have yet seen was given me at the Atlanta Blue and Gray reunion, by that gallant old comrade of the brigade, Capt. w. W. Hulbert, of the Southern Express Cenpany,lt Is a vety little small er than the Savannah reunion badge, and concave. On the outer rim at the top is "Doles-Cook Brigade,” and underneath “A. N. V.” On the lower outer rim is "Survivors' Association,” and above is "C. S. A.” Within this circle are fine photo graphs of Gen. Phil Cook and Gen George Doles, separated by a beautiful Confederate battle flag in colors, and each photo surrounded by a green wreath. The many friends of Bishop Eelwin Gardner Weed of Florida and his charm ing wife will be much pleased -to know that the Woman's Home Companion, for August, contains an excellent picture of Mrs. Weed and a brief but comprehensive sketch of her noble and patriotic, work as president of the Southern Daughters of the Confederacy, now numbering nearly 20,000 members. Here in Florida this cul tured Christian woman had done a ser vice to the cause that readily commend ed her to favorable consideration as the head of the parent organization. The Bishop is chaplain of the Florida United Confederate Veterans, and Is as zealous in that organization as is his accom plished wife in the Daughters of the Con federacy. Col. Curtis Guild of Boston, having de clined the position of first assistant post master general, some editor has stated that tt was because he was a newspaper man and preferred that position to a pub lic office. This Is an error, for Col. Guild left the volunteer service to make an ac tive canvass for Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, but failed of the nomina tion in the convention. My old friend is competent to fIW either office, and I can bear testimony to the fact that there was not a more hard-working or popular offi cer than Col. Guild in the Spanish-Ameri enn War. Another error is the statement that Col. Guild was the only civilian on Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's staff 1 had occasion early in the war to write the Morning News that Gen. Lee was loaded down with civilian staff officers, and that the only one to my mind then active and ef ficient was Col. Guild, who was every where in a minute and was known and respected by every man, woman and child at or around the Tampa Bay Hotel, where Gen. I-ee had his headquarters. I might name Ex-President Harrison's son and Mrs. Gen U. S. Grant's grandson and Gen. Leo's own son. since appointed to ihe regular army, as civilians on Lee's staff. It seems very hard for some people, even In high positions, to know that a volunteer officer cannot, under any cir cumstances, put U. S. A. at (he end of his name. His proper letters are IT. 8. V., a volunteer whose commission is limited, but a regular army officer is in for life or good behavior. Air. Geo. 8. Haines, of the U. S. Fidelity and Guaranty Company, through Col. Gilllsple. sends me a very elegant and valuable military naval calen dar for my collection, and under two pictures are "Gen. Jos. Wheeler, U. S. A.," and “ Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, U. S. A.,” neith er of which were then other than volun teer officers—U. 8. Vs. If the Jacksonville military boys had given more study to army rules and regu lations and less to cakewalks, they might have escaped being swindled by a "bo gus non-com." of the regular army. They would have learned (1> that commissioned army officers do not send out "non-coms.” to negotiate with "corns." of volunteers; and (2) that "non-coms." when out on official business do not have to borrow money of private individuals; and (3) that volunteer companies of Infantry are never Injected into regular army cavalry regi ments; and (4* that all negotiations and tenders of volunteer troops must go through the adjutant general's office at the slate capital. No captain, colonel or other officer has a right to offer the ser vices of his command to Ihe general gov ernment, except through the legally es tablished channels. Nor can any cap tain or colonel offer the services of his command through Ihe adjutant general until he has consulted hi* company or his regiment as to the willingness of Ihe members to be thus tendered. There are some rights reserved to subordinate offi cers and enlisted men that over-ambitious commander* should not wholly Ignore in their enthusiasm. Ex-Gov. Charles T. O’Ferrall, In his ad dress of welcome to the society of the Army of the Potomac, which ran down from its meeting at Fredericksburg to visit Lee and Pickett Camps of Confed erate Veterans at Richmord. In May last, used this langtiag : "Under the scorch ing rays of a tropical sun. In a distant lend, with thousands of miles of ocean AUiow* between Uietn and Uvuij and ts.ni- dred, gallant boys, whose fathers follow ed the great and magnanimous Grant, and chivalric boys, whose fathers followed the unsurpassed and stainless Lee, are enlhvtfd in the same command and wear i g the uniform of a comm< n country and battling in a common cause.’’ (Applause.) Was the term "Unsurpassed and stainless Lee" too strong? Why only the night be fore, just previous to his ele tion as pres ident of the society. Maj. Gen. \V. J. Sewell, U. S. V., St natcr from New Jer sey In Congress, had said in his opera house address at Fredericksburg: “I considfr that while Robert B. Lee may have had a peer in Gen. Grant, he did not have a superior anywhere. * • • During all the months we Gen. Lee, his gr at generalship allowed him to meet us at every point. * * * While I glory In Northern valor. I will admit that the. Confederacy did what no other nation I know of could have and ne in the four dark of war. * • * Now the time has come, my friends, when the North and South must pull together for the future of this re-united country.” Although I have written more sketches than any other person about West Point graduates who went into the ministry, Gen. O. O. Howard, U. S. A. (retired), surprised me at the Blue and Gray re union in Atlanta, by telling me that he very narrowly' eseap and being in my list. He went to the military academy in 1850, before the good influences of Chaplain Chas. P. Mcllvaine, later the beloved Bishop of Ohio—had died out among the cadets, and when he graduated he carried into the army a serious view of Chris tianity that led to his conversion in the Methodist Church at Tampa, Fla., in 157, w h le he was stationed at Fort Brooke reservation as chief of ordnance during the last Seminole outbreaks. This led to his preparation for the ministry for the purpose in view of resigning h?s com mission in the army to become a preach er cf the gospel. But the Civil War came on before ho had completed his studies, and having been educated by the nation for military service, he felt that he must obey his country’s call, and remain in the army. Since the war, however, Gen. How aid has b*en an active lay preacher and worker for religious and other noble move ments. The Gettysburg. Pa., Theological Seminary and Waterville. Me., College and Shurtliff, 111., College have conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Law-s. The case of Gen. Howard is similar to that of (’apt. C. B. Saiterlee, V. S. A., who had become a lay reader in the Epis copal Church, and applied for deacon’s orders. Just then the Spanish-American war came on. and he felt, like Gen. How ard had felt years bpfore, that having been educated at government expense to be a soldier, and to defend his country’s Hag and honor in times of trouble, it would not be right for him to resign until the war was over. And so he remained in the service, not to fall in battle, but to die of disease where his country’s flag had been unfurled over a foreign land. A stainless soldier of Christ as well a gal lant soldier of his country, this beloved Christian gentleman sleeps the sleep that knows no waking until the resurrection morn, in the cemetery' at Columbia, S. C.. where, his estimab’.e widow and infant son reside, with her distinguished father, Bishop Ellison Capers, formerly a Con federate general. Gen. Howard remains, therefore, the only army survivor of West F’oint to preach as a layman the Gospel of Christ. Rev. R. M. W. Black, son of (he late Congressman George R. Black of Sylvania, is yet an Episcopal clergyman in North Carolina, but he was only a ca det at West Point, not having graduated. Private letters are not intended for the public, and yet there are often paragraphs in such letters that the public would aj>- preciate reading, and the printing of which could not offend the writer. So 1 shall make public a few such paragraphs from recent letters written me by Brig. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, U. S. A., in com mand of the Department of the Lakes, with headquarters in Chicago. "My Dear Major. * * • it was very kind in you to mention the reason why I could not be present at the Blue and Gray Reunion in Atlanta.

"You ask about Joe In your last letter. He Is still in the Philippines and at last accounts was very well. Most of the in surgent generals have already surrender ed and are In Manila.

The de mand was good until the close of trad ing at 2 o’clock, the sales for the day showing up better than they have for sev eral days past. The turpentine market opened firm at 39V6 cents, and closed firm and unchanged. No sales were reported for the day. The cotton futures market attracted at tention, closing steady at a further ad vance of from 3 to 15 points. The market did not open with the promise of scoring any material gains. Later on considerable covering, foreign buying and inventing started, which was the means of running prices up sharply all along the line. The expectations of an unfavorable government report stimulated bull speculation. It ap pears that many private advices were re ceived during the day bearing on the con dition of the c’rop, but they were of a con flicting nature, and did not therefore con vey an accurate idea of real conditions. It was said that improved political con ditions In the Far East encouraged invest ment. The wholesale. markets were steady and active. The following re sume of the different markets will show the tone and quotations at the closing to day: COTTON. The cotton market closed nominal. There was little or no interest in the local situation, which continues to lack busi ness. It is believed in some quarters that an early foreign demand may spring up, which will have the effect of impart ing much life to the local market. The day’s receipts were in fair volume.

The initial prices proved to be the lowest of the early session, however, as Covering, foreign buying and investment demand later set in on a moderate scale and sent prices up sharply. The bears were disheartened by reports of further rains in Texas, where the situation had already been rendered serious by excessive moistures, and by official information to the effect that the Eastern belt was In need of rain. Anticipation of a very un friendly government report Tuesday serv ed to stimulate bull speculations. As the session wore along the foreign, contingent gradually came to the front as buyers of the fall options and the wire houses changed over from the role of seller to that of buyer. For a Saturday half holi day business was tolerably active and general. The crop movement failed to reach the volume expected and the new ■ art (on In particular dame forward slowly. Private crop i< ports were “spotty," noting good conditions in some sections and poor prospects in others. The improved politi cal atmosphere in the Far East helped to place the cotton market in a better posi tion, In that It partially removed the tim idity In investment circles. The market for futures closed steady, with prices net 3 to 15 points higher. FI.l CTI’ATIO VS I!* ITTI RKS. New York, Aug. 11.—Cotton futures opened bar<ly steady and closed steady.

New’ York, Aug. 11.—Murphy & Cos. say: The advance In Liverpool of l-16d on spots and 6-64fi7-64d on futures was hardly up to expectations, considering the bureau report and increased complaints of too much rain in Texas and dry weather In the Allantic states, Mississippi and Ar kansas. Private advices, however, do not yet seem to fully confirm poorer prospects, and the South has been realiz ing on holdings. New Orleans bought rather freely in this market again to day. As August is a critical month for cotton, reports are being anxiously watch ed, owing to dominating influence on mar ket. Trade conditions are improving and spinners are not apt to buy as freely as a year ago. As stocks w’ill be completely exhausted by Sept. 1, and unless we have an average crop, prices are bound to be higher. New York, Aug. 11.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: Our market opened with sales of January at 8.26(&8.27c. and after ruling at 8:25@8.30, ruled at 8.29 c at 11 a. m. Liverpool advices were disappointing this morning, the market opening with free sellers, which caused a temporary de cline. When this realizing was over n rumor became current that Mr. Neill would issue a bullish circular, and on this prices quickly advanced to the highest prices touched since the first of July, closing somewhat lower on indications of rain in the Atlantic states over Sunday. Rains continue in Texas, but are princi pally confined to the. Gulf. The average rainfall yesterday from all stations was .52 Inch. Rains In Texas in the first two weeks in August have always made a large crop in that state, if followed by dry weather. The feeling in the market is bullish on the idea that Europe will become a buyer on the basis of the bu reau report and that the movement of new cotton will be retarded by those rains In the Southwest. The advance of yes terday and to-day has eliminated the lo cal short interest. DRY GOODS. New York. Aug. 11.—To-day's market has been quite dull on the spot, very few’ buyers being in attendance, business oth erwise of average proportions. Heavy brown cottons close the week without im provement in either tone of demand and are quite Irregular in price. Bleached mus lins are steady, hut light demand. Coarse colored cottons inactive; prints in fair re quest and steady. American cotton yarns dull and tendency In favor of buyer. Woolen and worsted yarns quiet and un changed. NAVAL STORES.

New York. Aug. 11.—There w r as a rise to-day In the price of St. Paul and Omaha of 3\i over that cf yesterday on a s neb transaction. American Tobacco gained 1*;, Republic Steel preferred as much, and Pullman Leather preferred lost 7*4 in addition to yesterday's 4Vfc points loss, without any news to explain the move ment bey. nd reports of 10 r busin-ss. Tna common stock fell 1% to the lowest price on record. Sugar advanced a poin.t in the morning on buying attributed to covering of an im portant outstanding short account forced to cover by the operations of a bull pool In the stock. Most of the gain was lost in the late dealings. These comprise the only mpvements w’orth mention in to day’s stock market. The significance of the market continues purely negative, the determined restraint of the speculation marking the waitirg fer a solution of the many points of uncertainty in the situa tion. The hank statement conformed pretty generally to expectations. The exports of gold to-day amount to 3,250.000, evident ly not figuring in the statement. The ear ly exports were offsets by the receipts of geld fiom the Pacific coast and the cur rency frem the interior so far as to th& decline in cash resources down to less than $300,000. It is of special Interest to observe that w’hile the weeks fixture of American capital in foielgn Investment has been carrying out gold in payment, foreign money markets are still adding t/ the sum of their floating indebtedness to the New' York market, as reflected in the loan expansion which is made on Sterling Exchange collateral Further receipts of gold are expected in New' York next week on account cf both of Klondike and Aus tralian receipts at San Francisco, but a heavy additional outgo to London is* con sideiel well assured. No authorized an nouncement can be had of shippers plans, but it is credibly reported that tentative arrangements have alreidy been made for shipping at least $5,000,000 and competent estimates ere that a to al will reach s’.o.- 000 000. This leaves any Paris fyemand out of consideration, the rise in the Bank of England’s bid for gold leaving a doubt whether any inducement remains to ship to Fre.nce. The bo-nd market has showm sympathet ic apathy with stocks all week. United States old 4s declined %, the new 4s %, the 3s Vi. the 5s % and refunding 2s when issued v; in the bid price. The total sales of stock to-day were 62,- F0 shares including American Tobacco, 7,240; Sugar, .15,450. New York Stock List. Atchison 26%jUnion Fac 59)4 do pref 70%| do pref 76 Balt.
