There is n great complaint among the farmers near Perry of the damage to cot ton caused by the intense hot weather of the lost week. They say it is forcing cotton to open prematurely and will cut off the late crop almost entirely. Settled on Davis. The Executive Committee settled the contest between J. A. M Michael and A. H. S. Davis at Jackson by entering the ballot boxes and making a recount of the votes in ih* recent primary. Mr. Davis was declared the nominee for clerk of court. ; For Killing Her Baby. The Issuing of a warrant for Dora Huff, colored, at Elb rton, on Saturday, brings to light one of the most horrible crimes ever committed in that section of the state. Dorn is charged with murdering her child by throwing it out of a fasl running train into the Savannah river. Stole Horne and lluggy. Sam Bishop of Crawford, Ala., drove to Columbus Saturday and unhitched his horse from his buggy and tied him to n tree in the business section of the city. Shortly afterwards a negro boy coolly hitched up the horse to the buggy ami de liberately drove away. The police are searching for the thief, who is only 12 or 34 years old. That was the second theft of the kind In Columbus last week. I. aid a Cornerstone.

College at the There is an Interetfrg mmor at Ma con that certain par is onumplat * trying to lease the Wigwam Hotel at Indian Spring for a college. The idea is to use the Wigwam as n call g- from about October 1 to May 20, and the bal ance of the year, a period of about four months, as a summer resort ho.el. The Wigwam Is a very large building and well adapted for college j urposes. It is thought that the splendid mineral water there and the general healthfuln* s of the place would moke the Wigwam pop ular and desirable as a college. Dairymen Organized. Saturday morning the Bibb County Dai rymen's Association was organized at Ma tron with a membership of about forty. The following officers w< re elected; Pres ident, O. A. Bowen; vie* president, W.

The object of the associa tion is to promote the raising of fine cows to study the best means of raising and feeding cows, to ascertain which arc the best foods for producing milk and for general dairying purposes, u was thought best to organize the association, as by so doing the dairy business In Bibb county could be brought up to a much* higher standard. Wa* Brave Soldier. Alexander R. Rucker died in Elberton Friday, aged about 70 years. Mr. Ruck er was a unique charade r. His par ents were people of very great wealth and he secured a thorough classical edu cation in h's young days and married a Mis* Calhoun of the celebrated South Carolina family, but owing to some un congenialitv, he end his wife had lived separated for many years. He was a brave Confederate soldier, was an offi cer in the famous Coldi’s Legion of Cav alry and followed Stuart, Hampton and other gallant cavalry leaders through all the campaigns of the army of Northern Virginia in the war between the states. For years lie lived almost n hermit on his plantation In Elbert county, going to Elberton only a few months ago after his health had broken down. FLORIDA.

Crushed tinier Machinery. A negro hand at the Tlgt r Bay phos phate works at Homeland, while work ing near the dryer, was caught by belt and carried undfr the machinery in such a way that he could not be go? out for an hour and three-quarters. The heat was terrific and he was badly burntd and crushed. He was alive at last report. Whisk} nn(l <TirlN. Gainesville News: Eighty per cent, of the killings that occur around the turpen tine and phosphate camps in Florida would not occur if whisky and playing cards could be kepi out of the camps. As we have paid before, at least 80 per cent, of the killings among out whit* are caused by drink are! 1 per cent, among the blacks by card playing. 'Mint f h|>llui Flu lit.

Humor t* i If** that Jacksonville had to cot I*ll lhe cupl* (a! removal promoters because of the pile of money they spent in moulding public opinion. But then, a true sport for the capital should not mind expenses.

De I,and Supplement: There is anew industry developing in De I.and, which may in the course of time assume respect able proportions. Mr. C. A Miller is manufacturing in a workshop he has fit ted up for the purpose in the second story of Ills building, fishing rods of a very superior quality. The work on these rods is all done by hand, and done in De Land. The wood from which they are made is known ns "greenhard," and is imported from South Africa. It is brought to De Land in cases, and is cut down, tapered, polished and fitted with huts, sockets, etc. Besides being substantial, the rods ore highly attractive in appearance. Made Poor Accounts. Tampa Morning Tribune: There will probably be, in the course of a few days, some interesting developments in connec tion with the suicide of Bias Trujillo, the prominent cigar manufacturer, which oc curred last Saturday afternoon, in his private oflic-e. in the factory building. Since the sudden termination of the cigar manufacturer's career, public gossip has been rife with various rumors of alleged motives for the act of seif-slaughter. Lit tle by little the facts are coming out. and the whole story will doubtless be known by the end of the week. For as much as two months before ihe suicide, adverse late seemed to be making special sport with the fortunes of the firm of which the dead manufacturer was the head. Within a week of each other, the leading con ,, rns Which were handling his cigars went into practical bankruptcy, and ihe loss of Bias Trujillo & Cos., in bad accounts, are estimate to have totaled, in two weeks, the sum of $73,000.

Athens, Cci., Aug. 20.—One of the most unique features of the street carnival to be given in Athens this fall will be the campfire of the soldiers of the Confeder acy, Major H. H. Carlton and other prominent Confederate veterans are m work on the plan. Their idea Is to Invite a'i of the veterans in the state to visit Atilt 11s and spend a week camping in a grove near the city. Tents will be seemed and regular military discipline is to prevail. The veterans will live again the life of tile early days of the Confederacy. They will sleep, eat and live in the tents for the week during the fair. They will be awakened in the morning by trumpet call and will give exhibition drills dur ing the day. _ . It Is expected that fully 200 of the old veterans will he on hand and the en campment should prove the hit of the car- j nival. _ GteTTIMJ READY FOR VISITORS.

The wharf and dock are now being re | built, and many other attractions have been made to the hostelry. There are two good hotels here open now. find are doing a good business. Since the burning of the Clarendon Ho tel last spring there has been a report that n company of capitalists has been formed with abundant means to make very elaborate improvements on the cele brated sulphur spring property and build a first class end up to date hotel. As an inducement the county commissioners and the town council have passed resolutions io exempt from taxation any individual or corporation that shall acquire the Spring Square and make necessary improvements nnd crc'ct a modern hotel, costing not less than $75,000. EFFORTS TO HIDE CRIAIE. Instil nee* of the t e of Rogns Bur ini* to That End. Mprquis de. Fontenoy in the Washington * Post. Another of those strange remances of a melodramatic character in which a bo gus burial plays a role is about to be dis closed in the English law courts. Last year one of the oldest, best-known, and most highly respected firms of family law yers, Lake by name, failed, involving in ruin many titled families, which had for generations intrusted the management of their estates to the Lakes. One of those most hard hit by the collapse of the firm was the present Duke, of Montrose, who lost in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. Mr. Benjamin Lake, one of the two members of the firm, who alone remained in London to face the music, when he appeared in (he Court of Bankruptcy, explained to the presiding judge that the insolvency of his firm was no fault of his own. but en tirely due to the dishonesty and defalca tion of his partner, Mr, George Edward Lake, who he swore had fled the coun : try. and had died in Germany in Novem- I her last. He likewise produced ccrtifi | calcs to show that -Mr. George Edward I Like had been duly buried, at Bushey, in England, on Dec. 5. It has just been discovered, however, that Mr. George Edward Lake is alive and ivell. living in Italy, in the utmost lux ury on the proceeds of his thefts. Testi mony to this effect has been placed in the hands of the police, and steps have been taken to obtain his extradition.

GA. pending an inquiry into the question as to whether he was a voluntary or an invol untary agent in this conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice. This is bv no means the first instance of bogus burial having been resorted *o for the purpose of saving influential per sons from the consequences of their crime. The fact has repeatedly been printed in able authority, that Count Guido Lynar, a member of the princely house of that name, is living in Italy without the slight est attempt to conceal his identity. The count, a major of the crack regiment of the Garde du Corps, decorated with al most every order of Europe, possessed of an independent fortune of SBO,OOO a year, was arrested by the English police in London on a particularly revolting charge while occupying the post of flrst secretary of the German embassy. Had he given his name and quality to the po lice when arrested, he would have at once been set at liberty, and steps taken to hutsh the matter up. But he lost his head, anti refrained from disclosing his identity until he hod undergone the pub lic* ignominy of being placed in the pris oners’ dock. On the assurance given by the German government that Lynar should be severely punished, he was turned over *o the embassy and by the latter to three officials of the Berlin po lice. who took h : m back with them to Germany. On arriving there he was nt once placed in an insane asylum, on the plea that he was demented. and his name was removed from the roster of 4he diplomatic service, ns well as from th.3t of the army. Three months later It was announced in all the papers that he had died while under restraint, and his name, after being cited in the necrological appendix of the Almanach de Go*ha. dis appeared from that golden book of the European nobility. A coffin purporting to contain his remains was placed in the family vault, and his widowed mother, after mourning for her son, died about six months later, it was said, of a broken heart. A similar story Is re'ated of an uncle of Lori end laly Hone ( he lat’er May Yohe), who sailed from New' York f r England the other day. The uncle in question was Lord Arthur Pelham Clin ton, member of Parliament and a com mander of the royal navy. He. too got mixed up in a scrape of the same kind as Cos nt Lynar ard was a 1 out to b<> con victed. when the announcement of his d:ath was made, and he was interred wi h much pomp ard ceremony in the vaults of the dural house of Newcastle. Yet a few months laier he was recognize 1 in Nfw r York, whore he r • n* the r ma'nd r of Ms life und r the name of “Mr. Simp son” ard used to haunt the restaurants and saloons around Union and Madison squar's. He aDo remaim and a long time In one of the Metropolitan hospitals owirg to an accident which occurred to him on h* way out to this country. The oMebratfd Druce claim to the duke dom of Por land re?ts altogether on the cent*n'lon that the late Duke of Port land survived his alleged deith for a number cf years under name of Druce; that he* married and bad children under the name of Druce, a<’d that the* object of his bogus funeral as Duke of Port land was his fir a l of being ea led to ac count for the mysterious death of his celebrated brother. Lord George Caven dish B< ntinck. of racing fame. The en tire root rove.-sy about the matter, which gave no little annoyance and expense to ihe prerent duke, a dis ant cousin of his predecessor, con and have he n settled at once had the coffins containing the re mains of the late Duke of Portland and likewise of the late Dr. Bruce been open el and examined, hut the present Duke davetei all his influ no. l and great sums of mon y to prevent this being done, and consequ-nily the doubt as 1o whether he or the son of the widowed Mis. Druce is the lawful hrir of the late Duke of Port land remains in abeyance and unsettled. Some time ago there likewise appeared a claimant to the dukedom of Hamilton in the person of a man w’ho insisted that he was ihe only bro-lher, Charles, by name, of the late Duke, and that he had been obliged to vanish from i he scene owing to his having killed in a duel the Russian Count Pasdiewitch, with whose wife he had eloped. He declared that proof of the truth of his statements could be found if the coffin alleged to contain the remains of the late Lord Charles Hamilton, which is entombed In the family mausoleum at Hamilton Palace, In Scotland, were examined, and added that It would be found to contain nothing but sand and fagots. Here ag;iin the pres ent Duke, who is a remote cousin of his predecessor, declined to consent to the examination of the remains of Lord Charles, nnd the issue remains, therefore, undecided. 1 could cite many other Instances of the same kind in England and on the continent, among them that of tho late King of Saxony, who is generally believed in Germany to have survived his alleged demise and grand obsequlsies for a num ber of years, under strict restraint in a remote mountain monastery, afflicted wilh a most appalling form of homicidal ma nia, which had led him to the perpetra tion of more than one insane murder. Nor should I omit the rase of the late Earl of Ayleaford, the too gtnltl "Joey," who, having be/ n # forced to expatriate himself from England, ruined beyond hope, socially as well as financially, was reported to have died In Texas. A coffin with n body therein represented to bo that of the Earl was brought to England and Interred with much ceremony. But doubts were entertained n/t the time, and still exist, as to whether he was really dead, n curious feature in connection with the affair being that ihe insurance on his lib* was never collected. After all. this is as it should be. When a man misbehaves himself to such an extent as to bring himself within the grasp of criminal law, he should be re garded. ipso facto, as dead, if not in a mateiial sense, at any r ite In a civic one. —Americans do not need to be reminded that Iri Russell was one of counsel for Gerat Britain before the Behring Sei Commission and cne of the arbitrators of the Venezuela rase, but his greatest tri umph was probably won in the famous Parnell Commission In 1889. when he act ed as principal counsel for the Irish mem bers who were defending themselves ajR/ilnrt the allegations of "The Time ' ’ Those who wen pr. sent when tin* former Piggott fell to pieces under Kusse.ra withering cross-examination are not like ly to forget the liiUusely dramatic at cue.

Morning News Office, Aug. 20. The only change of consequence in the local markets to-day was the drop of %a In the price of spirits turpentine, which opened quiet at 38V4C and closed firm at the decline. The demand at Ihe decline was none too strong to suit the trade. The receipts have been watched closely for some time past, because of the effect they were having on the market. The general belief prevails that there is not to be any immediate let-up in the re ceipts, so that the market will likely be. without support in this respect for a while. The rosin market closed firm and unchanged, with a fair demand reported. The cotton market closed easy and un changed. The wholesale markets l were steady. The following resume of the dif ferent markets will show the tone and quotations at the close to-day: COTTON. The cotton market closed easy and un changed. The day's receipts were o bales.

On opening call, August declined 11 points, while the rest of the list was 6 points lower to 2 points higher.' For a time a pretty weak feeling pre vailed.

New York. Aug. 20.—Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liverpool closed only a shade higher than Saturday, but this market held steady at an advance of about 9 joints, owing to covering of bear sales and new' buying, stimulated by unfavor able accounts and buying for New Or leans account. Rain reported in fome sec tions of the Cnroiinas, but general rains are needed, except in Texas. It is a weather market, and to-morrow’s weekly bureau report is likely to be poor, as pri vate advices predict poor prospects, and even the bears admit the crop has been deteriorated in the past week. New York, Aug. 20.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: Liverpool was disappointing this morning, as an advance of 2 fo 3 points was expected in response to an im provement of Saturday. Our market, how ever, had expected ihe government pre diciion of Saturday would bring good rains over the and Georgia. Only light local showers have fallen, however, and the crop is believed, to be suffering from the hot dry weather of the past three weeks. Opening steady nt Satur day’s prices the market remained dull for j the first half hour to jump quickly. The expected rains did not materialize. The temper of the trade is distinctly bullish on the expectations of a roar weekly report to-morrow, and the light movement outside buying has not appeared either from speculators or spinners, but the local j trade expect they will come in during rfiho week. 1)111 GOODS.

STOC KS AM) BONDS, \o Change In Character of the Mark et During the Day. New York, Aug. 20.—There was no rad ical change to-day in the character of recent stock market operations. General news bearing on the situation was scant, but what there was, w'as further ammu nition for the bears. London, which has latterly been a buyer, turned seller for a small amount, and Western offerings were effective in special stocks. General weakness occurred In stocks with which the firm of Flower & Cos. is identified, following the announcement of the death of n member of the firm. These include a half-dozen of the most active issues and losses ranged I@2 points, with Brooklyn Transit and People’s Gas lead ing. Elsewhere selling was in moderate volume, but some rather pronounced de clines occurred in Sugar. Tobacco, Con solidated Gas and Metropolitan Street Railway. Railroad stocks were much better sus tained than the specialties, declines ex tending to a point only in St. Paul and Rock Island. While the general tone throughout the greater part of the day was reactionary, there were periods of ihe steadines.s when the shorts reduced their lines. Some comment was aroused by the sudden marking up of General Electric to 110%. Its closing price on Saturday was 136. Reports of a combi nation with a rival concern and excellent earnings were circulated, of which there was no confirmation. Fluctuations in the Steel group were comparatively narrow*, but early losses were generally recov ered in the late afternoon on reports of imported trade conditions. A matter of interest in connection with the international monetary situation wrus the decline in call money in London to 2% per cent. This circumstance whs at tributed 10 imports of gold by the Bank of England, amounting to $4,670,000. This amount included the $3,250,000 gold export ed from here on Saturday week. The sub-treasury statem/nt for to-day showed that it was a debtor at the clearing house <0 the unusual amount of $3,162,900. Payments by the government on account of the redemption of the old 2 per cent, bonds for Saturday and to-day amount to $3,732,019. At this rate of replenish ment the banks will speedily recover the decrease in surplus reserves effected by last week’s gold shipment. In the last half hour of trailing People’s Gas and Brooklyn Rapid Transit were bid up over a point from the lowest, w r hieh exerted a stimulating effect on the entire list. The closing was steady, with a rally In progress. Bonds showed irregularity, but changes were very small. Total sales, par value, $655,000. Unit/ and States new 4s advanc and % in the bid price. The toial sales of stock to-day were 203,400 shares, including- Atchison, 9.250; Atchison preferred, 9,400; Burlington, 5,850; St. Paul, 9,450; Union Pacific, 18,267; Amer ican Steel Hoop preferred, 10,855; Brook lyn Transit. 22,715; Continental Tobacco, 4to; Federal Steel, 6,476; People's Gas, 25,980; Sugar, 13,680.
