Lippincotts Magazine for September is
light and amusing, as a number issued in the
dog-days should be. ''On This Side" is
brought to a conclusion, which is satisfactory
in all respects, except that of leaving no
more to come. 1.-The Truth about Dogs" BY
f. N. Zsbriskie, is a good-humored protest
against the exaggerated fondness for "pets. "
1.-THE Story of an italian Workwomsn's Life"

true narrative in all its details, and TO present
a picture of thousands of other lives. In "A

The Southern storm proves to have been
very destructive and the damage done in
Charleston. s. C. , serves to show what
might have been the result OF Western
tornado sweeping through any great city
crowded with tall buildings. Yet. if the
reports are correct, the storm which struck
Charleston was not hurricane nor up to
full cyclone pitch. tor 1t is stated that at
the elimination of the gale the wind blew
at the rate of eighty miles an hour !;
whereas hurricane blows at the rate of
100 miles an hour. Only the most solid

wind under such pressure. and ships at

The exports of cotton were very small
in July. amounting to only 32 600 900
pounds. against 5000 100 pounds in the
same month of 1884. This is presumably
due to the stagnation in trade and manufac
ture abroad and to the fact that previous
shipments have abundantly supplied the
foreign demand Thus. notwithstanding
the known decrease in production of cotton
goods. the exports of raw cotton from
this country for eleven months ending
with July were only 200, 900 pounds
smaller than In the previous year, and in
value only 81 1000 less. The crop
year will end in few days, and it is prob
able that the exports for the entire year
will not differ greatly in quantity or value
from those of the previous year.

Rase BAN Next season.

From, tie Macon (Gd.) Telegraph.
Base ban matters in the Southern league
are still somewhat mixed.
The Northern leagues have not yet
agreed TO recognize the Southern league
and it 10 said that they never will. In
such an event the Southern league black
list would not amount TO much.
In an interview with a 1eieOrdph re-
porter, Mr.. Alexander Proudft, Presi.
dent OF the Southern league, said yester-
day that he did not think the refusal OF
the Northern leagues to recognize the
Southern. league would hurt 1t. Other
base ball authorities differed with Mr.,
Proudit.
In regard TO the Indebtedness Of the
Macon club and others TO the Southern
league, Mr.. Proudft said:
''The indebted clubs will have until
Nov. TO pay what they owe. II upon
that date they have not paid / will order
them to be dropped from the league. II
is my purpose TO discharge the duties OF
my position in business-like way, with
out favor to anybody"
New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston
and Knoxville are all anxious TO enter
the Southern league.
The directors Of the Macon club are nj

A Wealthy Tramp's Property.

Some time last June an elderly white
man, giving his name as Johann Chris
tian Lehman, arrived at jacksonville
from Franklin county, Ohio. His appear
ance was in every respect that of pro-
fessional tramp, his clothing, which was
dirty, having been made OF the coarsest
bagging. He was unable 20 get lodging
even with a large majority OF the colored
people; but he finally met a negro dray-
man named Daniel Hays who consented
to furnish Lehman n house to live in,
and finally conducted him to a little hut
in Riverside. AS Hays and his wife could
not agree, they separated, and afterwards
Hays went to the hut TO live with Leh-
mann. 1t is said that they existed in the
hut in the most beggarly manner.
After his arrival Lhmann received
from Ohio in remittances at various times
money aggregating $500, through the
Florida Savings Bank and Real Estate
Exchange, which, he invested chiefly in
lands purchased chiefly from negroes.
Time passed without any remarkable
occurrence until Sept. 10 last, when Leh'
mann died. About Oct. 3, a will purport-
ing to have been executed by him was Oh
fered for probate at the Office of the Coun-
ty Judge, the intent of which was to be-
queath all of his properly in Florida,
and other property referred to in the will
In ONO to Daniel Hays. His Will, IL is
understood, was drawn by John Ii. Brown
commonly known as Hen Brown, and
witnessed by j. H. Brown and George W.
Wetmore.
The attention of States Attorney Owens
having been called TO the transaction, and
it having been ascertained as far as was
known that Lehman died without any
heirs at law, in which event his property
would escheat to the State, proceedings
contesting the will were instituted by him.
The grounds Of the contest, as set forth by
the complainant by petition, are: First,
that the Will has only two witnesses, the
laws OF Florida requiring three wit
nesses as TO real property. Second, that
the devisor was non cOmpOS meRtiS at the
time of the making and the signing of the
will. Third, that the will was never
signed by j. G. Lehman, but was signed
by some other person without his request
or consent
