property. This is severe loss to Superior,

will undoubtedly recover from this loss and
rebuild at once.
Senator Hill Denies the Bastardy Charge.
March % aflidavits were filed with the
t1aitsd States district rttorhey ul me district
BY Senator Hill and Samuel W. Smalls, OF
Georgia, reciting certain charges and threats
made against the former by Jessie Raymond.
The a11ldavits were referred by the district
attorney to the police court for such action
as shall be deemed necessary. Senator
Hills affidavit sets forth the annoyance he
has been subjected to by the visits of Jessie
Raymond to his house in his absence, denies
the truth Of her charge that he is the father
OF her child, denies ever giving her any mo-
ney or having seen her except once in At
lanta. in the presence of witnesses, and as
serts that she is a won an of abandoned char
acter and blackmailer, who has threatened to
have money or his life. He files this affi-
davit in order that conservator officers may
take such action as they may think their Off
clal duty requires. The affidavit of Small
corroborates Senator Hills statement as to
the threats made by Jessie Raymond, and de-
clares in conversation, with him, smalls, she
must have money" II want $500, and will
have it from him Senator Hill) or will have
his life." ~ am in dead earnest, and I do not
care If hang for it, will do what say" The
affidavit further states his belief that said Jes-
sie Raymond Will try to carry out her threats
by making an attempt upon Senator Hills life

The Mark Lane Erpress of March g.
says: Weather has been cold but sunny.
Spring sowing has proceeded favorably, and
the agricultural situation may be regarded as
promising. There has been an advance of
full shilling in home grown wheat both at
Mark Lane and in the country in consequence
OF the supply having been unusually small
and millers operating more freely. The mark.
ed diminution in supplies indicated tie low
ebb to which the reserves Of last years scanty
crop have fallen, rather than the disinclna.
lion OF holders to part with their produce.
Imports Of foreign wheat continued moder-
ate There has been an improved demand at
an advance OF six pence to q shilling per quar-
ter. Agood trade was done in all varieties, and
sales, although OF retail character, were
numerous. There has also been some CONT
mental inquiry the past Eve weeks, exceeding
4'OO0 quarters. The increased inquiry the
past fortnight is very insignificant as the un.
usually favorable weather for agriculture
would in ordinary seasons, have justified the
millers in marking stocks down as close as
possible. But the attitude of the American
ring is being watched with fcverish anxiety
and unless unforeseen circumstances should
arise to weaken the strength which
America appears to possess, the time
cannot be far distant when the wants
of western Europe will cause rush to get in
at lower prices. Barley remains Gull, but all
other feeding stats participated in the
Improvement. Maize on spot, in consequence
of extreme scarcity, sold as high as 29d per
quarter. The supply Of maize on passage il
not excessive and as fears of excessive Amcri-
can shipments have subsided, steady trade
at about present quotations may be expected
until America has disposed OF her wheat. Ar.
rivals at ports OF call have been moderate in
consequence of unreasonable weather and ad-
vices of lower prices from America. Cargoes
barely maintained last Mondays advance.
Only two cargoes Of maize arrived, which
were held above the market value, which was
about q. A fair amount of business was done
in wheat for shipment early in the week, but
the greater part of last Mondays advance ha.
since been lost. There was a good demand
for maize. Sales of English wheat last week
a ,3a6 qrs., at 46s 10d per Dr., against 6O,04l
qrs, at 40s Sd for the corresponding week last
year. Imports into the United Kingdom fol
the week ending the 18th, 7s6,851 hundred
weights wheat and 1851 hundred weights
aour.
