, hose who make a business of moving
household effect* have been busy and will
continue to bo for several days. There Is
an amount of work before them that can
irt>( ho accomplished In a short time. They
will have to employ many teams and
many men to finish the contracts Into
which 'hey have entered, and It I* quit*
s , .slide that many of those who aro
chanting their residences will find that
much longer than they had anticipated
will be required for the completion of
the work.
Those who engage In this business of
moving household goods keep In close
touch with fhe renting agents, and from
them they team who are to change thelr_
residence. The movent then look up the
tenants or-d make arrangements for the
hauling of their furniture. Considerable
competition exist# In the buslnes.and the
prices for which moving la done ere much
lower than they were aome years ago.
when there was a shorter division of the
work.
(tom* Increase in the number of fami
lies that are mvolng this October Is noted
by the renting agents. There have been a
gr<* many applicant* for house and It Is
not believed that there will be many left
vacant. The places of those moving out
will be taken by others moving It. The
(emand has been especially (Wrong for
house* that rent for from *26 to DO a
month, and no difficulty Is- found in se
-urtng a tenant for such a house.
Despite the holy character of to-day. It
It probable that there will lie a great deal
of work done In many households. There
will be packing and unpacking to be done,
and the presence of the heads of families,
r--eased for the day from their business,
will result In their superintending prepar
..tion# for to-morrow's removals.

This week Is to be a busy one In the
Superior Court, where something like
Ihree dosen cases have been assigned for
trial. Of course, all of these cannot and
will not be trial, the trial of so many be
ing a physical Impossibility, but the dock
et will be rid of a good proportion of them
at the week's end.
To-morrow the last murder trial of the
term will take place. This is the case of
Anderson Young, who Is to answer for the
killing of Ida Carter. In a fit of drunken
rage, tt was, according to the testimony
thus far adduced, that Young tried to
shoot his wife and killed the Carter wo
man Instead. He managed to wound the
woman at whom he aimed rather pain
fully. but, as I* often true In these cases.
It was one who had nothing to do with
the quarrel that paid the penalty of her
life.
The shooting occurred In the house oc
cupied by Young and hi* wife on East
President street, in a quarter of the town
Siere affrays of the tiki- genrat character
* not altogether Infrequent. On the
night of the homicide It was currently re
ported. and for a time believed, that
Young had killed both of the women, and
considerable excitement wna the result.
He walked To the station house after the
tragedy and surrendered himself to the
desk sergeant on duty et the time.
He has always been unwilling to enter
Into any explanation of how the shooting
was done, and hts story of the tragedy
will he given for the first time in anything
like full detail, only when he makes hi*
statement to the Jury on hi* trial.
Tuesday there are three caaes against
W C. Mathew* that have been assigned
tor trial. The Indictments charge larceny
after trust from Murphy & 'Co., the brok
er* for whom Mathews woe the local rep
resentative. The total of hi* peculations
from his employers is said to foot up
nearly IT.hOrt. and the firm spent 23.'*- 1
more tn expense* and reward* for effect
ing hts arrest. They have announced that
no compromise would ever he thought of.

for assault with Intent to murder, the
offense being alleged to con*l*i In an at

EVIDENCES OF PHOUPKniTY.
T. F. A.’s President Found Florida's
Rnslnrss Men Prosperous.
President Max Kraus* of the Travelers'
Protective Association returned to Savan
nah yesterday after an extended trip
through Florida In th# Interest of the
firm he represents It la not strange that
"Col.” Kraus* pronoun, es the present the
most successful of the business trip* he
has been making to Florida for Ihe past
seventeen y*r*. His explanation of this
Is tha general prosperity which is enjoyed
by all classes In Florida, and particularly
the farmers, who ate happy In the pos
session of rash, or products which repre
sent U,
“Col." Kraus* declined to talk politic*
as he was on a strictly business trip.
While he knows the sentiments of a large
number of business men with whom he
came In contact, he preferred not to speak
as to thetr feelings as expressed to him
on the presidential election.
"What 1 wa* Impressed with was the
general business prosperity which now
prevail* In Florida.” he said. "The pro
gress which ha* been ma le Is the more
creditable because of the many set-hacks
that atate has suffered In the way of
freeaea. ttortn* and other calamities. Th
crops seem to he In good condition
this year, however, and from
wh.it I hear pretty nearly all Ihe leaf
ing products will command high prices.
The sea Island cotton crop seems to be
short this year, but farmers expect gool
prices for the staple. Lumf-er. rosin, tur
petitgie. phosphate rock and other great
producl# are being produced and market
ed to advantage, so that tt
Is apparent that the benefleoiie
of the good times are not thinking much
about the outcome of the election.
"Prosperous conditions means all frrm
the business man's standpoint." he con
tinued. "It means that credits are more
cheerfully extended and collection* good.
Consumers are able to buy goods and pay
for them, and this means a lively business
for the merchants. Having traveldl so
long In Florida I feel proud that condit
ion* have turned the people* way Be
sides lta productive wealth Florida Is fast
coming to the front with tta manufnc
torea. which hsve been greatly enlarg
ed and extended Into new line* during the
past year."
“Col." Kraus# said Ihtnga are quiet with
the T. P. A.’* at present, but he hope# al
an early day to Inaugurate steps for a
big meeting. _

a million square milea: and yet the valtta
of the anthracite mimed in these few

see the time when our supplies of bit

Is estimated from the best data ..m unable
that, at the preaent rate of mining, our
supply of anthracite wilt be ex ha us led
within a very few centuries.
When all our anthracite Is .-untamed
there will be no further supplies of thhg
kind of coal, unless other sources era
