A Fine Climate Unsurpassed Manufacturing

NJ. Quad, in the Detroit Free Press of January

which is being rapidly developed by the Florence
Land Co.:
Every Southern paper speaks Of Fair FLOR

years ago could not forsee the march Of Progress,
they had some excellent ideas regarding the pres

the town, the streets were laid off for comfort
and beauty, ard here to-day is the site for of
the handsomest cities in all the south. There is
beauty and the picturesque whichever way you
turn, and enough of the modern has crept in TO
throw the old-time dwelling out in strange con-
trast and compel your admiration.
WHAT IS COMING.

Evictors Have d Hard Tussle
With Tenant Tully.
Desperate Resistance Made
Against Evictors.
Gathering Rams and Boiling
Water Freely Used.
Objected to Eviction.

DUBLIN, Sept. Lord Clanricarde's
evictors to-day attacked the house of a
tenant named Tully at Cloncee, facing the
Shannon. A deep trench had been dug
around the building by the occupants,
and the house had been banked to the
roof with clay, stones and states. Trees
had also been sunk into background paral-
lei with the walls. The evictors advanced
with a battering ram to break down these
Instructions. but were beaten off by the
defenders, who fired volleys of stones and
poured boiling liquid wei their assail-
ants, compelling them to frequently re-
treat.
Some constables, in obedience to or
ders, tried to effect an entrance through
the roof. Many of these were hurled
into the ditch by the defenders, who cap
tured a number of rifles and an officers
sword. Finally. after an hour and a half
of hard fighting, the police succeeded in
taking possession of the house and cap
turing the occupants.

The Tropical Fruit Trust.

New York, Sept. 1.-The report that
a trust had been organized by the tropical
fruit men of New Orleans did not create
much concern among the banana import
era of this city. George H. Richardson,
selling agent of it, has a line of steamers
which bring to this port an average of
eight cargoes of bananas per month. He
stated that he was aware of the ATTEMPT
on the part of certain English firms to or
ganize a big trust for the control of the
tropical fruit trade, but he did not believe
it could succeed because of the fruit being
perishable. If bananas could be stored
like sugar, oil or goods of that character,
the trust might cause some alarm. The
English trust embraced the construction of
ships capable of carrying &c. on to so, 900
punches of bananas hung up. AT present
the largest vessels are able to bring only
1900 punches in layers.

Robert Garrett's Condirlon.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-The Tribune
this morning prints the following as the
statement of a person who knows Robert
Garrett S condition.
"Mr. Garrett is a very sick man, and l
don't think he will ever recover. His
mind is entirely gone. His speech is fail
ing him and when he becomes violent he
cannot say a word, but makes a peculiar
noise with his throat. He is frequently
crying and yelling, and when night
comes his noise and yells are something
frightful.
He will stare around him and with his
eyes bulging out and crouching with ter
ror he will call to his assistants to come
and take them away that are trying to kill
him. The windows have been guarded
with heavy iron gratings to prevent him
from jumping out. He is constantly
watched by three men in the daytime and
three at night.
He does not eat at the same table
with his wife and father -in-law, who are
here with him. He is fed on milk almost
entirely. His meals are served to him in
his room. When he has quiet spells his
attendants take him for a short walk in
the grounds.

The yellow Fever Report.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. IA Times
Democrat special from Jacksonville, Fla,
says: Eleven new cases of yellow fever
up to ! o'clock and one death is what DR..
Neal Mitchell reports by telephone. This
is a big figure for so early in theIday. The
greater portion of the new cases are re-
ported from 5 to 6 o'clock p. N. There
will be so few people left here in a few
days from now hat hardly any one can
hope to escape the disease. Tomorrow
an excursion train will leave here for
South Carolina in accordance with Sur
geon General Hamilton's suggestion and
permission and it will be well filed. 1t is
especially urged now that the women and
children get out of the city. and great eff
forts are being made to send them of.

Chicago Market.

Good Cattle Scarce and in
Great Demand.
The Cattle Market.


special Dlspatch to IHE LEADER.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The cattle mar
ket took an upward jump this week. On
the early days receipts were very light,
and although the higher prices caused an
increase later on, the total falls considera-
bly, below that Of last week. From the
start there has been an active general de-
mand, although the shipping business
was badly cut into by the fact that not
enough cars are offered by Eastern rail-
way companies. The freight rates to
Eastern markets are so low that the rail-
roads are giving all kinds of excuses for
not taking the cattle, the latest being a
scarcity of cars, which those interested in
the matter declare to be without founda-
ton.
Offerings are still largely of low grades
and common sorts. On the early days
there was not a single load of prime cat
tie on the market and only a few of the
good sorts, but afterwards some excep-
tionally fine beeves were brought in and
they naturally fetched exceptionally
high prices as the demand away exceeded
the supply. As high as &c. so was paid
for two cars on Wednesday, the stock av-
eraging respectively l,786 and 1902 lbs.
In numerous instances, however, buyers
had to put up with commoner cattle than
they were looking for and this impaired
strength to the market for fair goods.
Range cattle are coming right along and
constitute not far from three-fourths of
the entire supply. The new pens for
Texans exclusively are now in full opera
ton, and the cattle are moved from there
to the slaughter houses only by viaduct,
cars or wagon. The grade quality of the
rangers is considerably above the recent
average owing to tie scanty supply of ma.
tives. These cattle are in unusually good
demand and some westerns reached SIS. 20,
the highest price of the season. They
beat n grass fed natives marketed here
this year.
Colorado steers sell at 81 40 and mp
wards, choice Texas COWS fetch 81. 25(0
2.55, which is an advance of about l5c,
but common grades show no improve
ment. Texas steers bring all the way
from 81. IS for rough common to 81. 500
2.75 for fair to good and 50. S0(9 8. so for
good to choice with the bulk going at
81. 7O(93.0O. As a general thing COM
mon stuff may be quoted very nearly as
cheap as ever.
Good native COWS are a little higher,
the fact hat local butchers cannot buy
Texans to drive into slaughter houses
operating in favor of natives. Slim old
COWS always drag.
For stockers and feeders there is not
much inquiry, but the scanty supply keeps
the market steady.

A Brilliant Garden Party.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 1.-The
Grand Union hotel garden party which
took place this afternoon and tonight,
was attended by from 5000 to 5000
ladies and gentlemen in full dress. The
display of magnificent costumes and dia-
monds excelled anything ever seen here.
Among those present were representa-
tives from every section of the United
States and Canada. Four acres of the
hotel grounds were gorgeously decorated
with flags, banners, coats of arms and
draperies. The electric lights, gas Jets
and lanterns made the scene a most bril-
liant one. Arc lights flashing through
colored glass upon the fountains added to
the general picturesqueness of the early
autunnal scene. The pavilion was cano-
pied by streamers of various hues and the
garden party was the grandest affair OF
the kind ever given in Saratoga.

dent, has established its headquarters at

address calling upon "All true lovers of

born, to place themselves in communica-
ton with the executive committee.
An appeal is made to American people
to show that they are mot a mass of
Ignorant voters to be manipulated as best

A Cut In Rates

CHICAGO, Sept. The Chicago, Santa
Fe & California road has cut the rate on
dressed beef from Kansas City to Chicago
to Is cents per 100 pounds. The tariff
rate is 26 cents, so that the reduction is
precisely one-half. This action is the
direct outcome Of the war in live stock
rates, in which the Southwestern roads
have been participating TO-. over o week.
1t is expected that a cnt in provision
rates will follow, with every prospect that
the fight will extend to other classes of
freight and result in a general wal of
rates.

l have not yet seen a single cigar ex-
cept my own. All smoke cigarettes.
The result is, I am forced when talking
to any one to avoid his breath as much as
possible. The smoke from the cigarette
is inhaled and makes the lungs fetid and
must injure health. May not this to
some extent increase the dread disease
consumption, which 1 am told is rather
common in this land? At the hotels
meals are served in the rooms with no
addition to the cost, and Judging from
the tea trays being carried along the
corridors of this hotel l would think that
all Of its large population take their
morning meals and late suppers in the
private rooms. Indeed, the manager, to
whom / complained that 1 could not
find anything ready in the restaurant
until nearly o, informed me he would
rather 1 would take the early meal in
my room, and that it could be had as
early as z. The people here are very
late risers. Twilight lasts till nearly 10.
The people retire very late and shops are
all closed till after o in the morning.
To nibble at something seems to be a
human characteristic; every country has
its particular nibble. In America the boys
eat peanuts and the girls chew gum. In
Japan they eat a small seed. I forget
what. In China and India they chew
~sugarcane. In Siam, Burmah and
southern India and Ceylon, betel nuts.
In Egypt and Turkey, pumpkin seeds.
In Greece, watermelon seeds. Here
every one cracks sunhower seed. In the
street cars, at the gardens, and along the
streets people are seen eating this seed,
and at every corner women and boys are
selling them.-Carter Harrison's Moscow
