A STATE TOURNAMENT.
The Firemen Invited to Macon on the
18th of April

The Firemen Invited to Macon on the
18th of April.
The Macon fire department is attempt
ing to organize a grand State firemen's
tournament. At meeting held on Friday
night they decided to make the coming
18th of April memorable one in the
annals of Georgia firemen, and hold the
largest and grandest fremanic tourna-
ment ever seen in this part of the South.
Every company in the State is invited,
and a special invitation will be sent out
by the Committee of Arrangements in a
few days. The Telegraph, IN quoting the
action of the meeting, says the day will
be devoted to such tests as will suit
steamer and hose companies. The tests
will be arranged at a meeting of the
officers on Monday and copies for
warded to all the companies. The
Committee of Arrangements have
rolled up their sleeve to make
the city as attractive as possible on the
18th, and to bring representatives from
every fire company IN the State. They
will make Mulberry street a vast theatre,
and to accommodate the large number of
visitors will have raised seats running the
entire length of the block, from Second to
Third streets, on either side. They will
also have the finest music that can be
had, and leave nothing undOne to make
the day one long to be remembered by the
fremen of Georgia.
The citizens Of Macon will do all in
their power to make the stay of the guests
of the tiremen as pleasant as possible.
The Savannah Fire Department has
many friends in Macon and will doubtless
make no small show in the tournament.

SEVERE FROSTS.
Crops Of all Kinds Badly Afected-The
Loss Heavy.

SANDWICH, Mass, June Is.
Reports received from the various Localities
in this section say that Saturday nights frosts
totally ruined the prospect of the cranberry
crop. Hundreds of acres have be en- touched.
some seriously. and consequently the loss
amount to thousands of dollars. The revival
of the vines is beyond possibility. Potatoes
and corn, as we'll as the vines, will be badly
affected. Most of the corn will require re-
planting, which will lessen the crop on ac-
count of the lateness of the season.

There was frost this morning, inJuring
the beans and squashes badly. Mercury reg
istered 3S.
FoxBoRo, Mass, June l5.
Norfolk county was visited last night by
another severe frost which cid considerably
damage to growing crops. In some places
only retarding the growth and in others des-
troying the entire crop. The loss will be
heavy for farmers who make a speciality Of
early produce. 1t will be too late to replant
some of the crops.

amendments in the dispute between the two
Houses upon the postoffice bill, the pending
amendment being that incorporated by the

House recede from its disagreement to this
amendment, and agree to amendment increas-
ing the amount TO S925, 900. Hy stated that
SlS5, 200 was the exact amount now expended
for fast mail service. The conference com
mittee had agreed that if the item were to be
retained in the bill the appropriation should
be increased. All the money now given for
this service was expended between Washing.
ton and Pensacols, and the increased appro-
priation would permit of service being put on
the road from Baltimore to Hagerstown, Md.
Mr.. uorr's motion was agreed to-l26 to
81.

the other amendment increasing from $780,
