Ormolgee River Getting J.ow—Negro Killed fly Heat—C otton Mill* Shut Down—< olnttihnN* City Court—Texan On Securities Held lly the Georgia Railroad—lmprovement* t Fer nandlna—Popullßtß May Di*lantl. Other Florida New*. It is positively announced on authority that a $2".000 hotel is to be erected on St. Simons Island, near the lighthouse, by next season. Judging from the largo crowds of people who have flocked to the island this season, it is said a first-class hotel would pay handsomely, if conveni ently end pleasantly situated. Oeinnlgee Getting Low. Macon News: The Ocmulgee is still low, and getting lower. Unless there is a change pretty soon there will be no need for anew bridge. If the sun con tinues to pour down its intolerant rays of scorching heat on this particular sec tion. the old stream will ho turned into a brick pile and with a little smoothing over would become a fine speedway. Cotton Will* Shut Down. Dalton Argus: The Crown Cotton Mills have been "shut down" several days this week, because it has been almost impos sible to get any cotton to run on. All the head men have been scouring the South for the fleecy staple, but up to yesterday afternoon had succeeded in se curing only forty or fifty bales. If this dearth of the staple on the market con tinues it will prove a serious trouble. The mill expects to start up next week. Ifcnt Kill* a Georgia Negro. Tom Henderson, a colored laborer on the railroad, while at w'ork Saturday af ternoon, near the suburbs of Eatonton, was overcome with heat and retired to a neighboring cabin to get water and to cool off. Becoming deathly sick, he fell upon a hastily improvised pallet and died in a short while. It has been very dry and intensely hot at Eatonton, the thermome ter for the last several days ranging from 95 to 98 in the shade. The crops are rapidly giving away under the extreme heat. * Colnmlmn’ City Coart. G. Y. Ticncr of Columbus, stenographer to Justice Little of the Supreme Court, is applicant for the position as solicitor of the City Court, of Columbus. He an nounced his intention of applying for the place several days ago. He has several opponents in Columbus who are making a warm contest. Mr. Tigner will secure the indors<mem of nearly all the Capi tol officials. The appointment is made by Gov. Candler. A Judge of the City Court of Columbus is also to be appoint ed and There is a three-cornered fight for the place. Georgia IlnllroinU* Taxes. Controller General Wright has received a letter from General Manager Scott of the Georgia Railroad saying that the mat ter of paying tax on SBB,OOO worth of Atlanta and West Point debentures would be taken up by the officials of the Geor gia road at once. Richmond county claims that the road should pay tax on the de benture®. as it has been doing so up until lost year, when the railroad officials stat ed that when *he Georgia was leased the debentures were transferred to the Louis ville and Nashville. The lease was made several years ago, and the authorities of Riehmond county and the city of Augus ta "think it strange that the road should disclaim ownership at this late day. Lover* Leap I* More. There Is anew city growing around the Bibb Manufacturing Company's plant, on the Norh Highlands, Just north of the Coiumbus city line. In addition to the work on the huge industrial plants there the new city is springing up like magic. Streets are being cut through the turf, a ciry is being laid where once the shrub bery and forests held sway, and fresh, bright rafters are piercing the air, stand ing out in sparkling relief against the green horizon. The romantic Lovers’ Leap of the past is entirely obliterated, and i<t would be hard for any one to find the point from which the lovers are said to have leaped. Should they return, they themselves would be puzzled to find the spot. In the first place, they would find the basement of the new Bibb mill coming down squarely to the edge-of the bluff above the power house. They would not even find the raging, tearing river at their feet, the b**d of the river now being as dry as a bone. The angry stream that once foamed and raced its fretful way around the base of the big ror-k. plowing down deep into he <*arth, leaping madly over the huge bowlders, and burrowing down through the solid granite founda tions themselves—this racing stream now plunges through a gap arranged by the contractors on the western side of the river. FLORIDA. The tlrciiglnß of Ihf harbor pntraner at Panracola has ben postponed on account of the total destruction at Tampa last Saturday of the drpdge boat which was to have been engaged to do the work. The work will probably be commenced about Aug. 30. Business nt Tnmpn. Tampa Herald: Business still remains very quiet along the river front, there being very little life about the scene. Now that the quarantine restrictions have been raised however. It may soon pick up a little. T’npre will he more local crafts coming In and the scene will be a little livelier. Accident to llnlhrr. Frank Bowden, 18 years old, son of Mayor Bowden of Jacksonville, while In bathing at Pablo Saturday, dived off from on elevation, but mistaking depth of wat er, struck his head in the sand, producing paralysis of the spine. He was uncon scious till Sunday and is in a very dan serous condition. Populists Mu; Disband. The Populists moss meeting at Sumter vlile on Saturday was not very largely attended. Ex-Senator Borden spoke for •bout thirty or forty minutes against dts banding the party organization- N. J. Walker spoke in favor of disbanding and uniting with the Democrats. His address was warmly cheered. Upon the whole, the meeting adjourned without any defi nite action, but it Is believed that it was a practical disbandment of the party or ganization in this county. Key West City Election. The Key West city election, which takes place Sept. 1, will be the liveliest for years. For some time past, when the city finances were in a muddle, it was difficult to get prominent citizens to take a place in city affairs, but now that the city is in a prosperous condition, there are dozens of men ready to run for aider men, and the other offices. Politics in ihe city and county are getting hot, and street-corner orators can be seen and heard every evening, where crowds gather to hear th- news. Up to the present time, there has not been any speaking for the campaign on either side. Shipment* off lgfir*. For the week ending Aug. 11 there were 431 cases of cigars shipped from Tampa. These cases contained 2,205,000 cigars. For the corresponding week lost year there were 153 cases shipped, which contained 765,000 cigars. This is 278 cases more than were shipped last year, and is 1.440X00 cigars increase over last year’s business for the period mentioned. There have been 14,232 cases of cigars shipped fr .m Tampa since the fir.-t of January. For the corresponding period of last year there were 10.306 cases shipped. This year’s total shipments numbered 71,210,000 cigars. The last year’s shipment numbered 51,- 530,000 cigars, which gives this year’s bus iness an increase of 19,680,000 cigars. Activity nt Fcrnamlinn. The business of the port of FernandSna from now on promises to be very ac tive. It is understood on the very best authority that contracts have been en tered into for the building of some 1,509 to 2,000 feet of railroad track between what is know’ll as the Baxter docks and Old Town, and that along thees tracks and t lie water front immense docks will he erected for the use of the jetty contractors, who, it is learned, will com mence by Sept. 1 the work on the jetties. Besides this work, the railroad people are making quite extensive additions and im provements to their shop plants, which will make room for n very much larger force of men. The impression also pre vails that they (the railroad people) will generally make improvements to all their property here, and that they contemplate uniting with the people in effecting im provements at the beach that wdll make it a very attractive resort. SOLD WITHOUT A LICENSE. Heavy Penalty for Violating tlie 1,1- qnor I.niv at Tifton. Tifton, Ga.. Aug. 14.—Tifton, for a dry town, is remarkably fr*e from the "blind tiger” plague, owing principally, to the vigilance of our police in arresting of fenders A week or so ago, a negro was arrested for peddling whisky by the drink during a negro Sunday School cel ebration. and was given a liberal fine. This did not stop the business, however, and Saturday night Jim Holamon, col ored, an old offender, was again placed behind the bars, with two cas? for sell ing whisky against him. A negro spotter was given a marked half dollar by the police, with which he purchased whisky from Holamon. After his arrest, the mark ed money was found in Holamon’s pocket. A search of his store revealed a cracker box full of bottled whisky, ready for the market. This morning. Mayor Fulwood found Holamon guilty in two counts, and sen tenced him to 120 days on the streets, ninety days of which may be remitted on the payment of a fine of S2OO, but thirty days must be worked out. The municipal license of Holamon. tor running a gro cery business, and of his wife, for run ning a hotel, w re revoked, and they were notified to close up their places of busi ness within twelve hours. The. city authorities are determined to break up this traffic, and as Holamon has been convicted once or twice before, his fine was made severe. The retail liquor license in Tifton is SIO,OOO p< r year, and no kind of ciders, fermented grape juices, rice beers, etc., ore allowed to be sold. RESELTS ON THE DIAMOND.

Sailor Won Her llnn<l and a Coni Mine, Too. From the Philadelphia Record. St. Louis, Mo.. Aug. 12.—8 y indomitable pluck, backed by well-seasoned muscle, Willis V. Hill won tx beautiful bride and n valuable coal mine in Southern Illinois. Mr. Hill and his bride, very proud of her athletic husband, have just passed through this city on their honeymoon trip. The bride told this story of how her hus band won her and the coal mine: "Willis is a graduate of Pennsylvania University. Hid parents have mining in terests near Scranton. Pa., and there ns a boy he used to dig coal to learn the business. That’s where he got his strength to become such a good athlete at college. Well, he went to Illinois, to St. Clair county, where my papa, %vho is Robert Smith, and I lived. "I met him at a social entertainment. We liked each other from the first. One day he said: 'Nany, will you marry me?’ "I told him I would, but when I told papa he said: ‘What? A daughter of mine marry that dude from the East? Why, the chap never can work for a living. Why don’t you marry big Jim Andrews, who’s been hankering after you these last three years? Now’, there’s a man for you. If this Eastern dude could dig coal that big Jim can I might—but what’s the use of talking? You cant have this dude.’ "I told Willis what Papa said. He laughed and went to father. " ‘So, Mr. Smith, you think T am a dude and afraid of hard work? Now, what do you think of a match coal-dig ging contest between big Jim Andrews and me?’ he asked. ‘And if I win will you let me marry your daughter?’ “Well, papa thought it was a sure thing for big Jim, and contemptuously accept ed Willie’ challenge. The terms of the match required that the contestants should dig coal for six days, eight hours a day. and the one that dug the most to be de clared the winner. "Willis and big Jim met in the same pit in one of papa's mines, but worked independent shafts. Willie won by a quarter of a carload. "Papa was so pleased by the grit he had shown that he not only gave him consent -to our marriage, but made Willis a present of the coal mine where the coal digging match took place. "And that’s our story. Romantic, isn’t it?’* OH RIVAL UNDERSHIRT MAN. He Appears in a SI. I.nnis Poller Coart nnl Makes His Claims. St. Louis, Aug. 11.—The original under shirt men made his Initial appearance In St. Louis to-day. He was before Judge Seidener in the Police Court on the charge of disturbing the peace. When he was brought out from tlie prisoners' cage to the rail in front of the judge's bench the first thing he was asked by the court was where he had left his coat and shirt, and what he meant by appearing in court in a seml-living-pleture condition. “Your Honor,” replied the prisoner, by name Crosby, throwing forth his chest nnd elevating his head, “I am the orig inal undershirt man." “What do you mean?” asked the judge, at the same time beckoning to the bailiff to rap for order. “I menn this, Your Honor," said the defendant, “that I have go) tired of be ing led. of having my tastes and fancies moulded by others. I have thrown off t'ne cloak of imitation as well as my waistcoat and shirtwaist, and behold In me, the man before you, now a leader of fashion! 1 may not be a member of the Four Hundred or a Count Boni, but am a descendant of the noble George Washington. I assert mv right to be a leader as well as any of the big guns." “Yes, but George Washington never ap peared in a court room in his undershirt,” remarked the judge. "Ah, hut right there is where you are wrong. Your Honor. George Washington did appear in court in his undershirt, but no see it on account of his coat.” ” "Ten dollars!" was Judge Seidener s sentence In conclusion to the under shirt man's spiel. COLLINS AVON FROM PAHET. National Tennis Tonrnnment llrgnn nt Newport. R. I. Newport, R. 1., Aug. 14.—1n the singles of (the national tennis tournament K. Col lins defeated J. P. Pare* in a four-set match. Paret got a lead of 5-2 In the first set*Vfore Collins got info his game. After that the Chicago man played much better than his opponent, using a full, free stroke and placing well. Paret’s strong point was his quickness, hut this was of little avail against such volley ing as Collins used. The second set went to Collins easily, Paret being unable lo reach many of his shots. The next two were closer, but Collins won both by his steadiness nnd good placing. Score-7-7; 6-1; 7-5; 7-5. Col. Waring'* Ashe*. New York Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger. When the late Col. George E. War ing. the famous sanitary engineer and head of New York's street cleaning de imrtment. wae cremated at Swinburne island. Oct. 30. 1898, his ashes were put in three common earthenware Jars. Theec nmalned there for n year unnoticed until a reporter, chancing to find them, printed the story of the neglect to which they were subjected. A general outcry o t pub lic indignation followed, in responae *o which the three jars, wrapped in coarse brown paper, were sent to the Colum barium of the Fresh Pond Crematory. Htre they have since been as neglected and shifted obout from space to space to make room for handsome time that re quire the nitches. A proper urn could be had for them nt a cost of 110. Yet a hundred thousand dollars was subscribed as a Waring memorial after his death, and his fame was supposed to be im mortal for New York at least! -Ex-Senator William A. Clark of Mon tana has preserved the first dollar bill which ha made when starting life as a quartz minor in Colorado in 1859, SPIRITS MARKET HOLDS FIRM. FACTOHS NOT DISPOSE* TO SELL UNDER QIOTATIOSS. W hlle the Demand I* Not Overly Stroll|K, Enough In Wanted to Hold the Price Ijt-Roilm Firm and En chanted, With the Demand fiood. Cotton Nominal and Enchanted. Coral and Telegraphic Market*. Morning News Office, Aug. 14. The market for turpentine remained firm to-day at 39% cents. wi;h a fair de mand for the offerings. The demand is not of the grasping kind, but it is ap parently sufficient to maintain the pres ent price. Taking courage from the ap parent indifference shown, buyers believe there may be some weak spot in the sit uation which they may be able to reach by a standing bid of 39% cents. This is not the view factors take, however, and the chances are they will not part with stuff for less than, quotations. Liberal deliveries are being made by factors, though not to the extent of leaving the market bereft of free stuff. The rosin market closed firm and unchanged, with a good demand for the offerings. The cot ton market closed nominal and unchanged, with light transactions reported. It is reported there is some improvement in I the foreign demand for cotton, which ! may lead to a better business in the near future. The wholesale markets closed steady end mainly unchanged. The fol lowing resume of the different markets will show the tone and quotations at the I closing to-day: COTTON. The cotton market closed nominal and ! unchanged to-day. There were no trans actions reported at the Cotton Exchange. It is reported, however, that there is at present a fair foreign demand. The day’s receipts were seven bales.

New York. Aug. 14.—The cotton mar ket opened steady with near months 1 to 4 points lowei and far months 2 to 4 points higher and ruled very irregular during the forenoon with the general tendency to ward weakness under flurries of liquida tion for professional and speculators’ ac count. Weak English cables and reports that rains had fallen in the Atlantic states were the motive for the se’ling. There were few buying orders in evidence, while the trade in genera! seemed 10 be as heavily loaded with new crop cotton as it was short of those options two weeks ago. The weakness in Liverpool was credited by private cables to a scare of holders started by reports that Man chester spinners were soon to adopt a short time schedule and predictions from this side to the effect that the crop was doing better than admitted. Promptly at 1 o'clock the weekly government report came to hand and Immediately created dismay in the ranks of the bulls, who sold heavily in an effort to disgorge large holdings. While the statement was un questionably a bullish one. it foiled lo note the unfavorable conditions expected. On the break Europe and the South sold ac tively, as did the wire houses. During the rest of the afternoon the market was extremely nervous and displayed feeble recuperative energy. The close was steady at a net loss of 16 to 21 points. FLUCTUATIONS IN FUTURES. New York.

The market opened 2-64 to 3-64d high eh, reacted and closed 3-64 to 2-64 below last night’s prices, despite reports of bullish circular issued by Neill (details not given yet). This market ruled active and fever ish; opened higher, reacted sharply on selling for Southern account, and reports of rain in some parts of the Carolinas and Georgia. Liverpool also sold. New buying has been attracted by expectation of unfavorable reports by the weekly weather bulletin. Cotton declined 10 points this afternoon on heavy liquidating sales owing to the weekly weather report by the bureau being much better than ex pected. There is also some doubt about the bullish tendency of Neill’s circular. The above features led to general selling, at first by locals and later on by New Or leans and the Continent. Receipis of new cotton are only a moderate scale yet. but as dry weather is now predicted for Texas, we may look for some increase in movement soon. New York. Aug. 14. —Hubbard Bros & Cos. say: Liverpool opened higher than anticipated, but immediately declined, es pecially on the near positions owing to offers from Texas for September delivery. Liverpool sent selling orders all day.which supplied the opening demand, after the first hour relapsed into dullness await ing the weekly bureau report. The report was a deterioration in the Atlantic and im proving in the Mississippi and Alabama. Complaints of rust in Arkansas and need of dry weather in Texas. As the dry weather has set in in Texas the bureau report brought selling and as the shorts had covered last week the decline was rapid. Anxiety for the crop has been transferred from rainy weather in Texas lo dry conditions in Atlantic. Light showers on Sunday and yesterday did not give sufficient relief to that section. DRY GOODS.

New York, Aug. 14.—T0-day’s stock market gave a marked exhibition of strength, reflecting as it did an upward movement in all classes of securities. No doubt the chief impetus to the rise wi manipulative orders, particularly as in the steel group. Reports of a possible amica ble adjustment of the wage schedule \wa responsible for a rise of 3 points in Amer ican Tin Plate and 1(51*4 in kindred pro perties. The buoyancy of this group ra diated throughout the entire market and influenced pool operations in other stock®. As yesterday, the leading railroad shares occupied n commanding position in the market, exceptionally large blocks of the Atchisons, Grangers and Pacific* being taken at improvements ranging from * large fraction to 1% in St. Paul. Practi cally the only laggards to the upward trend of railroad stocks were Baltimore and Ohio and Southern Pacific. The fir®: mentioned was sold heavily on Its July eahnlngs. which fell off $239,126 net. An effort was made to raid Southern Pacifl on the announcement of the death of its president, C. P. Huntington, but th opening offer of a block of 2.500 shares at 33*/i, which was % of 1 per cent yesterday’* close, was readily absorbed. Indication* that the stock was to be sup ported influenced the bears to transf* r the attack to Suger. This stock display ed n good deal of irregularity and closed I*4 off. As the effective buying of the railroad stocks became more marked, many of the Usually inactive stocks participated in the dealings and improved materially. Des pite the exceptionally heavy gold en gagement* for export to-morrow, aggre gating $8,162,000, no change in the local monetary situation occurred. Abroad, however, reflection of the gold drain from this country was noted in a decline in money and discount* In Dondon. and ex change on London at Paris and Berlin also yielded. Some recovery was made early in the day in sterling exchange quo tations. Rut subsequently the market be came easier on sales of bills against to morrow’* shipment*. The sub-treasury statement nhowcd a net cash gain of $3.- 014,000 on yesterday's operations, while its debit balance with the clearing house to-day increased to $1,936,716. Statements of the tonnage in eastbound shipments of provisions and cereals by the leading trunk lines indicate a heavv gain over the previous week’s movement to the seaboard. In the closing dealings of the stock market there were indica tions that the short lines were Hnt
