Produce Exchange.

Produce Exchange.
The produce market continues very
quiet indeed. Butter has not changed,
except for the worse. Most of the but
ter that is coming to the market now is
of poor quality. and, as the demand IS
light, it accumulates rapidly. The con-
sequence is very dull market. Poultry
is in little better demand, owing to a
scarcity of stock, but prices have not adj
vanced. Stocks of apples are large,
while the demand is light, with no
movement to amount to much. Oranges
and lemons are coming in freely and
are in good demand.

flesh was sold off quickly. General
buyers of stockerS and feeders are also
on the look out for desirable cattle, and
are willing to pay fair rates for the right
tinue in good demand. Good sheep and
lambs are badly needed. Several buy

Karen NJ. Larson was examined yes
terday morning by the examining ply
sicians, Thomas F. Quinlby and J. G..
Skaro. for insanity, and, being ad-
judged insane, was started on her way
to st. Peter hospital. The insanity is
an old case as the woman was confined
in hospital in Norway twenty-five years
ago for two years. Her resideace was
3207 Eighteenth avenue south. Her
friends testify to disposition on her
part to run away from her home when
not carefully guarded, and as she al
ways makes for the lake they feared
she contemplated suicide. Her insanity
is of melancholy character and is
hereditary.

Tie Vest Point Terminal Company Takes
Possession Of the States Entire System.
NEW YORK, Jan. THE West Point
Terminal Company controls every rail-
road system in Georgia, which is today
the East Tennessee, the Central and the
Richmond and Danville, and it has an
interest in the Western and Atlantic
road. But there are a number of small
disjointed roads which it is proposed shall
be united into one system.
The protector of this new scheme is Mr..
J. D. Williamson, president of the Chat
tanooga, Rome and Columbus Railroad.
The Williamson party has finished a road
from Chattanooga through Rome to
Carrollton. This is the basis of opera
tions. A surveying party is in the field
locating route from Carrollton to CO.
lumbus, which VIII be built imme-
diately. This win give the new
system a continuous line from Chatta-
nooga to Columbus. Back of Chattanooga
is alliance with the Cincinnati Southern
which practically gives If one line from
Cincinnati to Columbus. South of Co
lumbus, Low s Co. are building q road
to Albany. Here he will get Florida
connection over the Savannah, Florida
ana western, ana ocean connec-
ton over the Brunswick and Al
bany road into Brunswick. The Florida
Navigation owns ESQ miles of road in
Florida, and is anxious TO get an outlet
into the West independent of Mr.. Plant
1t promises to build a line from Quincy,
Fla, to Albany, to meet the Williamson
system. When this is built the new sys-
tenn will have an unbroken line from
Cincinnati to every point in Florida.
Over the Brunswick and Albany II viii
have direct route from Cincinnati TO

Williamson 5 next point is to get into

Special to the Gazette.
BRowNwooD, TEX. Jan. IL Our cit
liens again held mass meet
ing last night for the purpose
of raising money to purchase right
of way and depot grounds for the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande. a few very
appropriate remarks were addressed to
the meeting by Colonel Chambers of Fort
Worth, who is now on his way through
the counties through which the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande proposes to build,
placing on record in each county their
mortgages and getting an idea
as to the best course for
the road to run. Our citizens
failed to get as much subscribed as they
thought sufficient to purchase right of way
and depot grounds, but it was unani-
mously agreed committee of five be ap-
pointed who should appraiSe all city
property and place an assessment of 5
per cent. of its value on same for the
purpose of raising the desired amount,
and the owner of the property was to
subscribe this 8 per cent. In this way
the burden viii be light on all and the
amount quickly raised.

faultlng interest, can nJIllify the sale
0f the road and recover the property
Williamson viii then own the line run
ming eastward. He would then connect
with the Macon and Coyington and get
into Macon and Athens. The surveying
party viii connect with the Augusta and
Sandersville, and the owners of the
property are under engagement to give
them an entrance into Augusta. 1t is
then proposed to run line from Sanders
vile TO Savannah.
The link from Caarrollton to Columbus,
already decided on, is ninety miles; from
Columbus TO Albany, ninety miles; from
Cafrollton to Atlanta, forty miles; from
Griffin to Monticello, twenty-five miles;
from Monticello to Sandersville, sixty
miles, and to Savannah, 100 miles. This
makes total of 405 miles to build in or
der to connect theentire system. OF this,
eighty mles-from Columbus to Albany
lis being built. Seventy miles from
Albany to Quincy, viii be built by the
Florida Navigation Company.
This leaves only 290 miles for William
son to build in order to get into every
city in Georgia, including both seaports,
and into Florida. 1t would give them
practically a system of $500 miles, reach
ing from Cincinnati to important Florida
points, to Savannah and Brunswick, and
from Augusta to Carrollton. The Florida
Navigation Company must complete to
Albany to meet this new system or re-
main with its $50 miles of Florida
roads at the mercy of its rivals, the Sa-
yannah, Florida and Western. sIt is
only seventy miles and can be easily built
and as soon as Mr. Williamson makes it
plain that they intend to go to Albany
the Florida Navigation Company will be-
gin to build. The above is the plan of
the new system as developed by its
friends. They claim that it is feasible
and practical and that it viii be COM
pleted.

A Case in the Recorders Court That Causes

Considerable Discussion.
Several nights ago three women of i'll
fame violated a city ordinance by bois-
ferrous conduct and three other women
were arrested by mistake. When
the cases came to trial this was
made apparent and Frank Halliday, in
whose hack the guilty ones were said to
have been riding, was subpRnaed to tes-
tify as to who the women were. Acting
under legal advice, he refused and
Recorder Orr fined him for contempt and
sentenced him TO the calaboOse for
one hour. A writ Of habeas cor
pus was sued out and Halliday
taken before County Judge Harris, who
held that the recorder had inquisitorial
powers, but that he erred in committing
Halliday for a specified time, that Halli-
day had the right at any time
after his confinement 70 come into court
and purge himself of the contempt
Judge Harris Their sfoTe discharged
Halliday from custody. Recorder
Orr at once opened the recorder 3 court
again and Issued another subpoena for
Halliday, who testified as desired. 1t is
said that the statute invoked by
Recorder Orr mas been used but little in
late years, but that it is in full force and
effect It's tendency is to make a sort Of
grand jury room Of the recorder 3 court.

Sentiment Erokea at the Late Meeting of
Presidents and Bankers.
New YORK, Jan. 10. = AT the
meeting of railroad presidents and
bankers yesterday President Roberts of
the Pennsylvania company suggested
that perhaps what was needed as much as
reformed railway men was an association
of reformed banks. When parallel lines
are projected, said he, the banking
houses are always ready TO make a COM
mission, allowing the parallel line Sc
curities.
This brought out a pledge that the
three banking houses present would never
again do such thing. Indeed, the
bankers went further and promised to
boycott any new enterprise intended to
compete with old lines Not all the bank
ers of the land were at the meeting, how
ever, and it is fair to suTmise that at least
one wicked banker win still be found occa-
sonally willing TO sell parallel bonds for
the usual commission.

the subject of commissions While the
meeting failed to agree to abolish dlto-
gether such payments it was found to be
the unanimous sentiment if commissions
were paid at all they should be so regu-
lated as not to exceed a reasonable per-
centage such as would obtain in an
ordinary commercial transaction Another
session will be held tomorrow
