Our Canning Factory.

Our canning factory may now be con.
sldered an accomplished fact. The citi.
zens OF this town who have considered
the matter in serious business point of
view saw the benefit which will accrue
by the establishment of that industry in
our midst. 1t will afford the planter a
chance to dispose of his products at a
price mnch more renumerative than the
cotton crop, and will also give employ
ment to our home people.
We have also cOnversed with men who
know whereof they spoke, and they ey-
pressed confidence for the success of the
enterprise, and further remarked that
our fertile soil was well adapted
for the culture of vegetables of all
kinds and for figs, peaches, pears and
other fruits which could be used in the
cannery.
At the present writing we have fifteen
dollars subscribed, and two
thousand or two thousand five hundred
dollars can easily be raised here.
One wealthy and enterprising firm of
New Orleans offers to take four hundred
dollars worth of stock in the enterprise.
The promoters of this enterprise will
meet soon, and discuss upon the informa-
lion We may possess and then organize
permanently and go to work imme-
liately.

A Jury to Determine Upon Ter ssnity-
What Her Lawyer viii Prove.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE inquiry be-
fore the commissioner and sheriff's jury
us to the mental condition Of Miss Harriet
Coffin, began in this city. Ex-Judge Geo.
M. Curtis appeared for Miss Coffin. The
mother OF Miss Coffin was present, but
the young lady herself was not. Judge
Curtis said she was not in the city, and
he was unable to produce her, because
he did nat know her Whereabouts. 1t was
learned by reporters, however, that Miss
Collin had been seen In the city IN a
highly excited and condition. j..
Wesley Smith, NJ. D., who has attended
Miss Coffin In bis professional capacity,
was the first witness. Judge Curtis OBJ
Jected that a physioian's knowledge as to
his patient was privileged. The. objeu-
ton was sustained, and DR.. Smith was
excused. DR.. G. M. Hammond, son of
the well known insanity expert, was then
called. He testified to having examined
Miss Coffin, and to her telling him that
Kyrle Bellew and Edwin Booth had re-
peatedly insulted her by gestures from
the stage; also, that people who passed
her on the street wonld say to oneanother
that she was q bad woman. Judge Curtis
severely cross-eSamined young DIR. Ham
mond as to his experience as an expert.
When asked what he was trying to show,
Judge Curtis replied; ~ will show that
this is q conspiracy to deprive my client of
her liberty in order to get hold of her
property" The case will be resumed.

brought strangers to his room. On the

at the landiady's door, said he was going
away for about three weeks. He
enjoined her not, under any cir
cumstances, to allow anybody
to disturb his room, and promised to send
the rent regularly. On Monday last, the

fled, and have actively been at work, and
are confident they will capture the man.
A man of his description, it is said, called
on Smell q few days before the murder,
on the pretense of securing a loan on
some property, and in that way he may
have secured the opportunity of looking
over the ground.
Active search for John Clark, alias
Cartwright, the supposed murderer of
millionaire Smell, is continued. The police
succeeded in finding a woman who was
his mistress, and it is stated she fur
nished some valuable pointers which
may result in the speedy capture of the
murderer. Thirty thousand circulars,
Offering a reward of $4,000 for Cart
wright's apprehension, were sent broad
cast over the country.

WHAT DORSEY SAYS.
Blaine's Letter Takes Him Out of the
Race for Nomination.

CHICAGO, Feb. IL. Ex-senator Ste
phen w. Dorsey, of New Mexico, gener-
ally recognized as one of Mr.. Blaine's
confidential friends, was asked what he
thought of Mr.. Joseph III. Mani US dec
laration that Mr.. Blaine's letter is not
to be regarded as final, and to be consid-
cred only as an announcement that he is
not striving for the honor. Mr.. Dorsey
replied: "Mr. Manly is not q good
friend of Blaine in saying so. After that
letter 1t would be impossible for him to
be nominated. The letter released many
friends from their obligations to him, and
they would not support him for the nom
nation, There was no n on the ma
tional committee who knew the letter
was coming excepting Elkins. There are
a good many who are saying they ex-
pected it. Blaine had certainly not in
tended to decline the nomination when
he wrote the Paris letter. He made up
his mind afterward, and made a final
resolution. He withdrew because there
was an evident opposition to his nomina-
ton, and his election, if nominated, is
doubtful. 1 believe the real reason why he
withdrew was because he did not think
he could carry the election, and rather
tnan run again and be defeated he chose
to decline at a time when he could do go
with credit to himself and his party.n
