ANOTHER REGULAR sooRoHER.
Yesterdays Temperature Up to o4'.
LightninR's Lively Work.

1lRQLnlnR6 Livery WOTks
Showers and thunder-storms were general
throughout the South Atlantic states yes
to-day and tended to lower the temperature
considerably. No particularly heavy
storms were reported from any point, but
rain fell in varying quantity at scores Of
points.
The temperature was still high enough TO
be very unpleasant, although it didn't climb
quite out Of the tube, as it has on several
| days
Southern cities made the following re-
ports TO the signal bureau last night: Au-
gusta go, Jacksonville &C., Charlotte o., ,
Norfolk So, Charleston 92o, Atlanta 9Oe
| Montgomery 940, Pensacola 90, Mobile 81 =,
New Orleans 93o Savannah's maximum
was 94s, the minimum 73'. and the mean
"a just one degree above the normal
The heat was felt severely. There was a
light shower about o'clock, which was
converted into steam as it fell. The daily
| thunderstorm occurred too late TO affect
the temperature for the day.
The Savannah district reported maximum
temperatures as follows:
Alapaha ga, Bainbridge "a, Eastman
9G', Fort Gaines 929, Millen 96e, Thomas
vile 90, Waycross $40. The average for
the district was a.
The new stations at Americas, Cordele
and Gainesville have not received their in
struments yet, and so are unable to make
reports.
The general maximum temperature
throughout the south yesterday was from
" to 80. Rio Grande. Tex, reported 104o.
Eastern Texas is suffering from a pro-
tracted drought.
A heavy thunderstorm came up
over Savannah about dusk, with
the usual electrical accompaniment, lasting
over an hour. Some of the shocks were
unusually severe. The lightning made
things uncomfortable for the operators at
the telegraph offices aud the telephone ex-
change. One of the wires of the electric
light company was struck about 80 o'clock,
and two of the five dynamos which supply
the incandescent lights burned out. The
incandescent lights went out all over town.
The MORNING NEWS office, the hotels,
and many offices and residences were left
in total darkness. The lights were burning
brightly in less than half an hour, though
The superintendent of the telephone ex-
change says the company has had over 300
wires burned out in the last ten days, more
than they have lost In an entire year before
Assistant Signal Observer benson says
the continuous thunder-storms are caused
by what is technically known as a second
airy" or low area of pressure In the southern
portion OF large low area of pressure or
storm which has been central in the north
ern states for the last several days. This,
with existing conditions in this section, is
responsible for the unprecedented series of
heavy thunder storms for the last week.

WARES ALLIANCE PIcNIos.
Hon. w. A. Mcdonald Gives the Farm
ers a Sound Talk.

Hon. w. A. Mcdonald Gives the Farm
ers a Sound Talk.
The farmers alliance of Ware county had
picnic at Waresboro yesterday. Col. w.
}. Northen had been invited to address
them, but as he was not present the people
could not be put off without speech, and
Wares war-horse, Hon. w. A. Mcdonald,
was called on. Ever ready to respond to
the wishes OF the citizens, he made a sound,
logical speech Of fifty-hve minutes. He
gave the farmers some wholesome
advice. Some people, he said,
thought the farmers alliance was
arrayed against every business and pro-
fesslonal man. This he most emphatically
denied The farmers had simply banded
together, he said, to protect themselves, and
intended no harm to any one.
Col. Mcdonald is opposed to the sub
treasury plan advocated by Mr.. Livingston
and other prominent alliancemen. He
takes and he thought Mr.. Livingston had
made an error in advocating the sub-treas-
ury plan. He advised the farmers to live
close, work hard and get out of debt
and stay out, and when he could pay cash
and quit the Tuinous credit system he
would be happy and independent and every
business would be prosperous
Col. Mcdonald thought more money
should be put in circulation. Then the
alliance could build them boat, put her
afloat and paddle their own canoe.
When he concluded his address, Capt. e.
H. Gravity of Waycross asked him if he
thought Gov. Gordon would have any OPP
position for senator. He answered that he
thought not, yet he only spoke for him
self, and could not say what the alliance
would do.
The dinner was excellent and bountiful.
There were about 500 present, merchants,
lawyers, doctors and farmers.

ment Of the term Hon. f. q. duBignon,

demand for trial to 60 upon the court

tered

RAIL AND CROSSTIE.

Nearly all the grading on the Macon and
Birmingha road has been completed be-
tween LaGrange and Macon. Trains will
be running to LaGrange by Sept. l. The
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus will also
reach that place this fall.
1t is expected that dirt will be broken
this week on the extension of the Savannah,
Amerlcus and Montgomery from the Chat
tahoochee river to Montgomery. From the
river west it has a level country to 90
through, and the work Of grading will pro-
gress rapidly.
The Charleston and Savannah railway
will commence about July 10 to fill in the
Savannah trestle. The work will be con-
tlnued during the summer and the trestle
work will all be examined and placed in
first-class condition while the work of
''filling IN" is going on.
One of the surest evidences of the increase
in the prosperity of Alabama is the growth
of her railroads and the valuation of her
railroad property. In ten years the In
crease in this respect in the state of Ala
bama alone has been 100000 900. The fig
ures given in round numbers are: Valua-
ton of railroad property for 1885, $4,000, =
600; in 1879 it was 5000 900.

THE COUNTY's REALTY.

The Returns for Taxes VIII Show an
Increase in Valuations.
The tax returns were closed by Tax Re-
ceiver Capt. John r. Dillon at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. In an interview with
a MORNING NEWS reporter, Capt. Dillon
said last night that a larger number of tax
payers than usual failed to make their re-
turns this year, and will therefore be
double-taxed
Capt. Dillon says it is yet too soon for him
to approximate the aggregate of the valua-
ton for taxes, as he has not had the time to
consolidate the returns. He is inclined TO
the opinion that they will show some in
crease. There are, ne says, some increases
and some decreases, but on the whole he
thinks the consolidation will show an in
crease over last years returns

OF Stanley's explorations. They all have
somethingl
"Iheard Stanley lecture in Missouri once, u
said the gentleman. 1T was in jefferson
City. Stanley had some cards Of admission
which were gotten up deliberately. They
looked like miniature circus bills. They
cost him $25, and he hadn't many of them
printed, either. When Stanley stepped on
the platform that night he faced four dead
heads and four who had paid. After the
lecture he was talking to me about the four
cash patrons and said at the close: The
next time lecture in Jefferson City there
won't be house in the town that will hold
the audience don't know whether he
meant that he would never lecture there
again, or whether he had vision at that
time Of what he has since accomplished"
