Solid Petroleum.

A successful Russian method of So
lidifying petroleum consists in simply
adding to the heated oil from one to
three per cent. of soap, which dissolves,
and on cooling the mixture becomes a
cement-like mass having tho hardness
of compact tallow. This forms con-
venient and economical fuel, which is
hard to light, burns slowly and without
smoke, but develops much heat, and
leaves about two per cent. Of hard.

THE NORMAN-McIvER CONTEST.
Between $50 and 200 Witnesses Yet
to be Examined.

Between $50 and 200 Witnesses Yet
to be Examined.
The Norman cIver contest in Liberty
county bids fair to be long drawn out r.
r. Richards Esq, counsel for Mr., Norman.
received notice yesterday from A. Fl. Nc
Donell Esq, McIver's attorney, that the tes-
timony of between $50 and 200 voters will be
taken beginning tomorrow morning at
Hinesvile as TO their eligibility as voters.
Mr.. Norman introduced executions for
taxes against nearly 200 who had voted at
the legisl tive election. Mr.. Richards says
that he will be unable TO be present &C the
examination of the witnesses, and other
counsel will doubtless be substituted, Mr..
Richards going to Atlanta to represent Nor
man before the committee on elections in
the legislature.
Mr.. Richards said last night that it will
depend on the legislature whether the con-
testant will examine any more of the tax
lists. They may conclude that there is al
ready enough testimony TO ct their case
and not examine any more ballots. They
have found, they claim, enough illegal bal
lots, Irregularty, ETC., to invalidate Nc
Ivers election and seat Norman. Mr..
Norman was in the city yesterday, and
feels confident that his contest will result in
giving him the seat e. which he says he
is entitled by reason OF tho general accept
ance of votes for McIver by those who were
disqualified under the law.

THE FARMERS COMBINE.
What Cotton Men Here ana in New
Ncrlr Cav A r oI1t Il

York Say About 1t.
| The New York Commercial Bulletin SAYS
that considerable interest is manifested
/ among the members of the New York Cot
ton Exchange on account of the report pub
lished in the MORNING NEWS short time
ago of the Farmers Alliance Combination
, in North Georgia aud Alabama to hold
| back shipments of cotton from
Nov. to 90 The Bulletin says that in
curry among the members of the trade
showed little foundation for the rep TT.
One of the leading New York brokers con-
fessed that he did not know anything except
what he had read in the papers about the
organization, and that he was convinced
that it was of no Importance, ard practi-
cally the same views were expressed by
/ other members of the trade in New York,
none of whom seemed to regard the Farm
ers' Alliance All important organization.
A leading Savannah factor said yester-
day that the New York men are certainly
wrong in their estimate of the Farmers
Alliance, and that it is very important
organization and growing one He knew
of combine in Southwest Georgia which
had agreed to hold back cotton, but he
did not know of any in North Georgia or
Alabama, beyond what was published in
the MORNING NEWS He did not think
that there could be any combined action in
such cases, as the need or money would
force farmers to market their cotton, in
spite of all that the alliance might do
Another factor stated that it is true that
the receipts here are smaller compared with
last year. but that the crop has been back
ward owing to rains and floods, and there
should be no excuse now for short receipts,
al the railroads are abba to take care of all
the cotton offered for shipment. There is
at present no complaint of lack of freight
room by sea, and there is enough for all re-
quirementS, but there is O general complaint
local receipts compared with last
year. A leading buyer who has been visit
ing North Georgia says that the Farmers
Alliance in North Georgia aud some parts
of Alabama has entered into such an agree
ment as was stated in the MORNING NEWS,
and he notified all his correspondents of the
combine.

who rides on free pass and is so unfortu
nate as to be killed, leaves his heirs good
opening for a lawsuit, regardless Of the
condition. under which the pass was
granted. The case decided by Judge Ram
sey was brought by the holder of tne pass,
who sustained injuries while riding on the
Missouri Pacific road. The court instructed
the jury that it was the duty of the desend-
ant to have done all that human care. skill
ard ingenuity could devise in the way of
safe coaches, tracks and machinery, and to
keep the same in proper repair, that even
though they might believe that plaintiff did
not pay for riding on the train, that such
fact did not affect the issues in the case and
was no defense.

CUBA'S TOBACCO CROP.
What Mr.. sligo Myers Says About

Mr. Sligo Myers of H. Myers & Bros. re-
turned yesterday, after an absence from the
city of several weeks. During two weeks
of his absence he was in Cuba making pur-
chases of fine tobacco. He reports the fever
in Havana not so malignant as the papers
have stated. He said that during his stay
there he did not know of a single death
The fever is mider than it has ever been,
there icing no greater number of deaths
during the summer than there are usually
during the winter mo lths.
Mr.. Myers visited the following districts
in Cuba: Vuelta, Abajo, San Anton, Santa
Clara, Lamas and Las Lajas, all fine to-
bacco districts. The crop, he said, was cur
t tiled by the drought. but the staple is
finer, so thai really there is but little loss
He said that the hurricane damage which
was reported from Cuba is very much ex-
aggeratgd. There was no damage of any
moment to the tobacco farms. Sugar cane
farms may have suffered, but there was no
loss to the tobacco men. Cuba viii fur is I
this year about 900 to 100000 bales, of
100 pounds each, of tobacco The United
S ates will Use only about 200, 900 bales OF
this supply. Europe gets the balance.
Mr. Myers said that fine tobacco comes
higher this year owing to the early drought
last season, and he does not look for de-
cline in the price of fine grades because OF
the drought of this season. He did not
visit Jacksonville, where the firms
mandatory is located. but he is
in constant communication with the
manager, G. II. Cato, aud NJ. j.
Wineman, bookkeeper, who have bravely
remained at their posts during the previl-
ence of the fever. Mr.. Myers said thai be-
tween 40 and 100 me1 were at work in the
factory, and not one of them has lost a day
by sickness. At present the factory wa:
turning out 1000 cigars weekly. Mr.
Myers will leave for the west the latter
part of tine week on az extended tour
