ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
JoHNsTowN, August 5.-Two bodies
were found to-day in cellars, and it is the
general belief that many more will be
found when the cellars are cleaned out
One of those taken out was stout-built
man, evidently working man. The other
was a woman, and was taken out OF the cell
lar of the storeroom of Foster & Quinn,
which is Just across the street from the site
of the Hubert House, where SO many peo-
ple were caught. The woman was dressed
in the ordinary everyday clothes of work
ing woman. and on one finger was plain
eoId-plated ring. The body was we'll pre-
served, While it was being removed
stranger picked up the ring, but upon be-
ing accused with the attempted theft OF It,
claimed that he was only showing it to friend
standing by.
is now caught up with the Board of Inquiry.
and is ready to cash all orders as fast as pre-
sented. Some delay was occasloned To-Day IN IN
paving out on account of the slow Work oy
the Board of Inquiry. About $SO0OO was as
tributed. however, and it is thought tnat shs
$4,000 will all be paid out before tne emu i OF
the week. In the meantime arrangements VIII
be perfected to pay out the balance OF the fund
as rapidly as possible.
MANY of the stockholders of the street car
system want the road put into lmmeolate
oneration bnt some of the leading ones do not
want to push the matter. 1t is pity the cars
could not be running now, as it would greatly
convenience the public and the stocknoioers
would largely recover their losses from the
extra travel Nearly all the track Is intact, but
the equipment is all gone.
The citizens are at loss to understand why
a large force of men are not put to work clear
ing up the town, but the impression is growing
that the work by the State may be dropped All
of a sudden, some of these days. II this should
- 5ona and no annronriation be made for clean
ing out the rivers the people here would indeed
be in a bad way.

The Saorat of It ALI.

Georgia is probably the most progres
sive of the Southern States, not simply in
the vim with which she pushes her indus
trial enterprises, but in the progress upon
the tarm. The Savanuah News quotes
a manufacturer who had travelled over q
large portion Of the State, as saying that
the condition of the farmers of that State
was never SO good, that their cotton crop
is better than it ever vas, that in addition
to this they will make more coru and meat
and have raised more sugar aud peas than
ever before, and that this crop will pu,
them all out of debt. The result of their
prosperous condition ia not found in their
large cotton crop, but in the fact that they
raised enough of home supplies to make
them independent, which every farmer
must do who would succeed Whining
ton Star.
Georgia will more completely merit her
enviable distinction of being the Empire
State" of the South than ever before il
her farmers continue this wise policy oil
raising their home supplies-making their
barns important parts of the farm economy
instead of dilapidated, empty shsnties
and their smoke-houses the treasure rooms
OF the housewife. This alone will secure
agricultural independence, and guarantee
to the Southern farmer The prosperity
which he deserves. Cotton and tobacco
are important aud essential in the aggre
CATION of the productions OF the South
Atlantic States, bat the men who till the
soil, and prepare and harvest for the mar
kets of the world its varied crops, fail
of that thrift which should
accompany their efforts unless they pro-
vide we'll and bountifnily for themselves
and their dependents out of the sbund snee
furnished ior the worlds consumption.
After all, energy in mercantile circles
builds up cities, and the sggressiveness Of
capt. al in manufacturing enterprises swells
the little settlement into the bnstling town
but agriculture furnishes the sine~
and the backbone to il ell.-FayettviHe
Observer.
