IS TWO SIDES TO THE
! PEOKAGECASE.
Evidence Introduced to the Effect
That the Negroes Almost Went
on Their Knees to Turner
To Move Him to Fay
Their Fines.
Montgomery, Ala., July 6.—(Special. )
f Judge W. H. Thomas, of the city court,
today In an ablo charge to the grand
i Jury after that body was organized,
1 touched upon peonage with a heavy hand.
I In regard to this he said In part:
i "In this connection I may say that at
this time the eye of the nation is upon
ns as It has not been for many years.
The great body of our people are law
abiding and should not be judged by the
conduct of the vicious.
, “ Che more unfortunate, then, if we be
misunderstood. Vze live under a consti
tution disfranchising negroes, and our
duty never more seriously demanded that
the right of life, liberty and property be
accorded them and that they be protect
ed in the enjoyment of it. If state courts
fail or refuse or arc powerless to protect
life and property, then the strong arm
of federal authority must and will inter
vene through one of its coordinate
branches of government.
Is the law observed by all with whom
the convict or prisoner comes in contact?
Os all personal rights, life and liberty
are sweetest, and in doing your duty in
seeing that no unfortunate or ignorant
person is mistreated while imprisoned, oi
ls illegally restrained of his liberty, you
can but have the hearty approval of
every honest man.”
Helms Testifies in Peonage Case.
Montgomery, Ala., July 7.—(Special.)—
Judge Thomas G. Jones, in the United
States court today, overruled the de
murrers of the attorneys for J. F. Tur
ner, charged with holding Glennie Helms,
a negro, in a condition of peonage, to tile
first count, which named Turner as the
man who held Helms and sustained tho
demurrers to the second court which fail
ed to name Turner as the man who held
Helms.
When White went to Turner's farm he
found Helms in a saw mill stark naked.
The government contends he was worked
this way to prevent his escape. Testi
mony will continue tomorrow.
Should this case be decided against the
defense, it is rumored that the defendant
■will carry it to the supreme court, on
the grounds that tho peonage act is un
constitutional, and not h t it go to the cir
cuit court of appeals.
Sold Negroes Into Slavery.
Montgomery. Ala.. July B.—(Special.)
The ease of the United States against
Fletcher Turner, charged with holding
Glennie Holms, a negro, in a condition of
peonage, was continued today and some
very sensational testimony was brought
out at the afternoon session, telling how
Helms was sold into slavery.
At the morning session I. E. White, a
retired merchant, of C dumbos. G.i . tes
tified that he was employed by Helms'
father to purchase Helms' release, which
ho did for S4B, which Turner accepted.
Dave Johnspn. one of the negroes hold
by Turner, testified practically the same
as Helms did on yesterday. He stated
he saw Helms whipped with a stick
as large as a broom handle several times.
Da.'- M White, mayor of Goodwater,
and chairman >f the Coosa county demo
cratic executive committee, brought in
records of bls court, showing fines of

The case of the United States versus .1.
F Ttfrner. charged with holding one
Glennie Helms, a negro, in a condition of
peonage, was continued In the United
States court today.
Tho testimony introduced has been of
b conflicting nature and the verdict of tho
jury cannot even be anticipated at this
time. This morning the defense closed
their testimony. The testimony intro
duced by the defet.se was strong, Th"
character of Mr. Turner was proven to
be very good by some of the best known
men of the state.
The first witness called this morning
by the defense was J. L. Furlfoy. former
ly of Goodwater, but nyw of Birmingham.
Jle accompanied City Marshal Dunbar to
Dadeville, where the said Helms was al
leged to have been sold to Mr Turner.
Mr. Purifoy contradieted the statement
of Dunbar in nearly ail the main points.
The district attorney then produced a
sworn statement from Mr. Purifoy, which
Purifoy had m.ide before him, :n which
I’urifoy contradicted his testimonj on the
Etand. Mr. Purifoy stated in explanation
that he vas laboring under a wrong im

• New York. July 7. The break begun
i yesterday in tlie cotton market continued
lat today's opening. The nearby options
i were pvinded unmercifully and further
I sensational declines were recorded. Au-
gust suffered most severely. That option
opened at 11.G3, sold at 11.54 on tho call
and then was forced down to 11.13, a loss
of 50 points from the opening figure and
nearly a cent and a half from the high

CROWTHER SURPRISED THEM.
King Says Eastern Stockholders Will
Protect Their Interests.
Boston, July 6—C. F. King, president
of the King-Crowther Corporation, stated
today that the action of tlie district court
at San Antonio in forfeiting the charter
of that company ami the appointment of
a receiver is the outcome of a suit com
menced In May on information furnished
by parties In no way Interested or con
nected with the corporation.
"Attorneys are retained in tlie case,”
said Mr. King, "and paid a satifactory
fee fol' all necessary preliminary work,
and later when the attorneys asked for a
fee of $5,000 and were refused they im
mediately withdrew from the case. Time
was not allowed by the attorney general
for the employment of new counsel, and
on request of Mr. Crowther, who Is the
original promoter and actual manager
of the corporations in the field, judgment
was entered without allowing the com
pany’s side of the ease to be heard.
"His action was a surprise and the
eastern directors will take steps to pro
tect the Interests of all stockholders. A
detailed statement will be issued this

STORKS HOLD COURT
AND KILL BIRD BABY
Budapest, July 11.—One of the rare
stork courts of which natural historj
tells was recently held in the village of
Nyirmada on the farm of a man named
Stephen Toth. Two months ago Toth ex
changed Madame Stork's egg for a goose
egg and a gosling was hatched out in
due time. Os this the supposed mother
was very proud, but papa “had his
doubts" and brought many other storks
to look at the intruder. This went on for
a week, when all of a sudden a whole
cloud of storks descended upon the barn
and farm buildings. Toth counted 100
.••side from his own birds. The storks
flew past the nest Indian file and each
bad a good look at the baby. '1 lien they
settled down once more, an old papa
stork flying to the highest point, the
weathercock, where he delivered a speech
standing on one leg. After he got
through two younger birds, acting as
bailiffs, went to the nest and sum
moned the father, who stated ills case
before the audience briefly and energet
ically. Then the mother was called to
plead and did so In eloquent fashion. Al
ter her several bird lawyers bad their
say, followed by the presiding stork, evi
dently the judge, who wound up his ti
rade With a roll call. Each stork regis
tered a “yes” or “nay." That done, the
bailiffs went to the nest fetched the gos
ling and let it drop from a tremendous
height, whereupon all the storks pounced
upon it and tore it to pieces. The mother
stork was then conducted back to the
nest, but the “wronged" father flow away
with the rest. He has not shown up
again, which seems to indicate that di
vorce was pronounced as well as destruc

Market Breaks at New Orleans.
New Orleans. July 7.--lt was a contin
uation of yesterday in the cotton market
this morning. Tile cotton crop report was
read but had little effect on prices, al
though it was considered slightly bullish
because of reported damages by the boll
weevil in Texas.
Much liquidation was in evidence and
the boars hammered the market with
great enthusiasm, showing that they were
not out of practice. Late In the morning
August was selling 36 points below the
closing of .vest' rd *y, at 12.49; Septembet
was 77 points down, at 10.21; October was
40 points down, at 9.49, and December was
27 points down, at 9.32.
The Dry Goods Market.
New York, July 11.—The dry goods
market is in a quiet condition and will
undoubtedly remain so until buyers com
mence to come into the market in em
nest. As lung as the raw tnA’yTial situ
ation remains so unsettled there is no
warrant for operating with freedom.
Buyers are few in number, and the
wejther has undoubtedly affected their
operations.

WINTER WHEAT— Harvesting of win
ter w; ".11 has progressed under favorable
conditions and is nearing completion in
portions of the central districts. Thresh
ing is in general progress with yields
lighter than anticipated in nearly all dis
tricts Winter wheat Is now ripening on
the north Pacific coast.
SPRING WHEAT—EarIy spring wheat
lias sustained permanent injury In por
tions of the north and west from drought
and rust.
COTTON—Cotton has made rapid
growth throughout the belt, an improve
ment being shown in all districts, the
reports from the Carolinas and Georgia
indicating the most decided advancement.
Wot weather has, however, been unfavor
able in portions of Louisiana and Texas,
where the crop is grassy and very foul
in northwest Texas, in which state the
bollweevil is causing much damage and
continues to increase.
TOBACCO—In the most Important to
bacco states tobacco has made fine
growth, the condition of tlie crop being
promising.
APPT.F.S—Fair to good crops of apples
are Indicated In Michigan. Tennessee and
lowa. Fair prospects are reported from
Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and West Vir

less favorable.

Some few grapes now being received
and commanding .entirely ea-tisfactory
prices.
The bottom has entirely fallen out on
cantaloupes and the buyers are largely
dictating their own prices, poor varieties
and quality in many instances not bring
ing express charges.
Not at any time during the present
season have receipts of watermelons been
excessive; In fact, to the contrary, the
supply has been inadequate to meet trade
requirements. These conditions have
naturally authorized the best results on
these goods that have prevailed for many
seasons proceeding.
Home gardeners continue to meet the
demand of the trade on vegetables, hence
out-of-town shipments can only be han
dled at a loss to the shipper at this
time. ,
Lemons are very active at points or
import;'Hen, and with a continuation ot
the hot weather no doubt prices will con
tinue to advance for some time, and it
will be no surprise that the highest mar
ket of tlie season will be reached in the
next ten days.
The abundance of other fruit has and
continues to retard the demand and con
sumption of bananas, which has natural
ly caused a sharp decline in prices.
No oranges of consequence in the mar
ket, which results In no inconvenience,
as a limited demand only prevails at this
season of the year.
Receipts of new Irish potatoes are ex
cessive, with an accumulation being piled
up, resulting in much lower prices. '1 his
applies also to onions.
Bineapples are scarce and bringing
fancy princes.
The demand for large fries continues
good at paying prices, but not so good
for medium and small stock even at much
lower values. Ileus are In light supply

Demand for butter Is slow, with but
little if any change in the market.

sufficient to meet trade requirements at

Comment on Bank Statement.
New York. July 11.—Th’ New York
Financier says:
"The official statement of the New York
associated banks last week showed a
loss of $3,306,600 cash, while the estimates
which were based upon the traceable
movements of money during the week
ending with Thursday, indicated a net
loss to the banks of only $131,100. The
discrepancy between the amount of io<=«
I as by the bank statement pnd
the estimated loss, was in part due to
the fact that the estimate took no ac
count of the withdrawals from tne banks
on Friday of $2,840,000 gold for shipment
to Europe on Saturday. The discrep
ancy was also probably caused by the
tact that the week covered by the bank
return embraced tho six business days
ending with Friday, while the estimate
covered the six days ending with Thurs
day. The loss of cash shown by the banks
was largely accounted for, however, by
a reduction of about $10,000,000 in the
item of specie by one of the banks. Ibis
most likely reflected payments on account
of the subscriptions to the new stock of
the Pennsylvania railroad. Loans last
week were decreased $7,915,200, and the
deposits were reduced by $11,749,600. Add
ing to the decrease in loans the loss of
cash, would call for a reduction of sll.-
221,860 in deposits. The statement, there
fore, was not far out of proof The re
quired reserve was diminished by $2,937,400,
through tho decrease in deposits and de
ducting this sum from the loss of cash
leaves $'169,200 as the decrease in surplus
reserve This item Is $8,008,475.. Computed
on the basis of deposits, less those of
$37,274,500 of public funds, tne surplus re
serve is $17,327,100. Circulation showed the
comparatively Insignificant increase of
$1 100. The daily average ot bank clear
ings was S2IBJX>O.OOO. against $274,000,000 in
the previous week; the decrease reflected
tho partial stagnation of speculation on
the stock exchange, and also the ending
of the semi-annual settlements and in
terest and dividends, which contributed
to the large average of clearing in the
previous wrek. The loans of the bank
were $17,385,700 In excess Jp deposits,
against $13,551,300 In the week ending July
3. Comparisons of loans show thnt six
of the downtown banks decreased this
item by the amount of $8,300,000. Five of
these institutions lofjt $9,200,000 of specie.
New York, July 11.—The statement of
the average of the_clenrlnßf house banks

lowing changes:

COTTON CROP IS IMPROVING.
Hot Weather and Light Rains Help
ing Mississippi Farmers.
Jackson, Miss., July 9.—(Special.)—Hot
weather and light but frequent showers
have had a wonderful effect on the cot
ton crop In Mississippi during the past
week, and a continuation of the existing
weather for the next three weeks will
come very near to placing the plant
In the average July condition.
Over a good portion of the state there
has been three distinct plantings of the
staple and all show a decided Improve
ment over the conditions existing two
weeks ago, when the outlook was any
thing but encouraging.
The first planting Is fairly well grown
and is fruiting, with considerable blooms.
The second is much smaller and Is just
beginning to form squares. The third
is very small and backward, but Is gen
erally well worked. Complaints of dam
age by Insects have practically ceased,
and the crop generally is free from weeds
except In some of the northern coun
• I ties.
