Philadelphia Gas Prevents Stocks From
Falling Into Hopeless Desuetude.

The stock market was dull yesterday but the
brokers we're in good spirits John D. Bailey
oflciated, and scored goose egg at the morn
ing call. 1t was his first. In the afternoon he
did a little better, selling 90 shares Of Luster
and 10 of Philadelphia Gas.
Philadelphia Gas maintained its position at
the head of the list in point of strength 1t sold
in a small way at 81, and closed at that price bid
and u more asked. Lusrer and the fractions
were weaker. Switch and Signal was offered
down to 1415. The La Noria meeting rather
hurt than helped the stock. The best bid for it
was u 1t was down to "a in the morning.
A broker remarked: I'VE usually expect low
prices and slow market this time of the year.
Investors want TO close up old business before
engaging IN new. Our stocks are all right and
there VIII be a good demand for them before

teresIInE Field News.
The oil market yesterday showed very little
II any, improvement over the previous days Of
the week. The local crowd was willing to trade
but nobody wanted the stuff Some buying
was done here and some in New York, but it
was insignificant.
The opening was 1857, highest 1885,. lowest
1881, closing 1881, showing range of y Of a
cent 1t was over an hour after the opening
before the first sale was made. It is thought
production this month will be larger than that
Of December. Tuesdays clearances were AOO0
barrels. Brokers were unable to see any signs
of a change for the better.
Nothing further was known here concerning
the Sheffield well. ClaysviIle is the scene Of
the greatest excitement. Hundreds of acres
are being leased, and preparations for drilling
70 or 30 new wells are going rapidly forward.
The McClay No. Z, in the Washington field,
owned by the Natural Gas Company of West
Virginia, is completed in the Gordon sand and
making 40 barrels day. This well opens up
new territory as it is located northeast of pres
ent developments. Aiken & Gilbert's Moore
No. :, in the same field, is also completed and
is a 40-barrel WELL
The Buffalo Oil Company's Knox No. Ais

Bralner Co.'s Brownlee No. 8 Is completed
and will do about 35 barrels.
The McQuay No. ]. of Fergus & Co., is show
ing good for 30 barrels in the fifth sand.

housebuilders, and lumber trade has not been

number of people were heard to express
surprise that the ice could be cut in this vi

GEORGIA POLITICS.

Carrollton Times: Hon. Hoke Smith

Saturday by making big anti-monopoly
railroad speech. He didn't say who he favor
ed for governor in his speech, but we hear
it whispered around that Hoke is padding
his own canoe.

name of Col. w. w. Gordon, of that city.
in connection with the gubernatorial candi-
dacy. Col. Gordon is a representative
Georgian. He was the recognized leader in
the House during the last two termss and is
man of marked ability and superior
Judgment. South Georgia could present
no man better qualified in every essential
for the position than Col. Gordon, who is
one of the most honored citizens OF Savan-
nah, prominent in business and social life.
The NEWS mentions Col. Gordon as a reply
to those papers which have been asserting
that Mr.. duBignon having positively with
drawn from politics, no Savannah man has
any chance of getting the democratic nomi-
nation for governor. Col. Gordon would
be stronger candidate from South Georgia
than duBignon.
Augusta Chronicle: The people in Mid
die Georgia are eager to have Col. Tom
Hardeman in the race for governor. Geor-
gia seems to love the name, and now Savan-
nah is talking about Col W. w. Gordon
for the gubernatorial chair. It would be
something happier than coincidence If he
were TO get the place. The people in North
Georgia are talking right along about
putting Allen Gambler in the red
chair of state. He has served his
district in congress eight years, and never
betrayed trust. 1t seems probably that
the race for the nomination for secretary
of state will be between Hon. Frank Lev

candidate, and it is understood that Gen.
Cook is willing to remain in Atlanta.

First Time in Twenty-six Years.

Hho U AAAAo Al w euCy Six ears.
From the americas (Ga.) Recorder.
The many friends of Capt. ]. l., Adder
ton were congratulating him yesterday
upon his youthful appearance, caused from
the fact that he had shaved up almost be-
yond recognition. Speaking of that the
captain said:
"The last time ] shaved was on the cold
and frosty morning of April 10, 1868, at the
foot or a pine tree on the battlefield in Vir-
ginla. Within a few hundred yards of me
the battle was raging fierce and warm, near
me lay the dead bodies of more thar
800 soldiers, while the wounded and
dying were scattered everywhere. A short
while before that Lieut.. George Kimbrough,
who was acting captain, had shot into a
squad of federal cavalrymen, who were
lying in ambush, and killed fifteen or
twenty Of them. Maj. Rylander was sit
ting on his horse but a few yards from me,
while Maj. j. d. Frederick was erecting
tent to get few moments rest, after hav-
ing been on duty for thirty-six long, weary
hours.
"Longstreet, Hood, Anderson, and Law
were few hundred yards below consulting
about the next movement TO be made.
Assistant Quartermaster J. B. Fielder was
maneuvering around hunting up something
to eat. A. j., F. H. and b. Buchanan with
George and Joe Lansford, were preparing
their morning meal by cooking their biscuits

paid for it will be refunded. Enlarged
glands, tumors or "buncheS," are dissi-
pated by its use; old sores or ulcers
healed; "white swellings," hip-joint

Rain Still Needed-Damage to One OF

ORANGE PARK, FLA, Feb. 26.-The dry
weather continues. Since the watering of
the groves close by the artesian we'll the
wilted leaves of the orange trees have come
out, and the trees are blooming finely. Mr..
Partridge finished Mr.. Hollis we'll Saturday,
the water rising twenty-seven inches above
the casing, and from the closest estimate
that can be made with the appliances
at hand the flow is 200 gallons per min
ute, and the depth of the well is 43S feet.
Mr.. Partridge moved his engine and tools to-
day to Thomas Organs place to put him
down a well. The prospect is that one or
two other people will have wells sunk. The
one just completed is supposed to be the
largest flow for 6-inch casing in the state
and the success of this well will inspire
others TO have wells, as all the strawberry
growers now see the necessity of having
plenty of water.
The steamer Manatee, which makes daily
runs from Green Cove Springs to Jackson

Cove Saturday, ran into the dock at Fruit
Cove, above here, and was so much dam
aged that she is laid up for repairs. A little

bLlcHToN, FLA, Feb. 25-Having worked
IN the phoSphates in my native state came
70 Florida to investigate and find employ-
menr, and after months stay I find thar
instead OF the accounts of the discoveries
1eing exaggerated, not half has been told.
ne men OF capital and credit are doing all
IA their power to suppress facts, and the
ignorant and unwary have fortunes taken
away from them for less than a cent on a
uO!'ar worth. There are numerous lOcali-
ties where the phosphate is more compact,
equally rich and in greater bodies than
al Junction, where neither the people
nor the press know of its existence.
VIII give You an illustration. I staid all
night at Stafford's pond. My host did not
know OF any phosphate in the neighbor-
nooc. Two miles north of there l saw an
olu man. At first ne was reticent, but on
learning who | was invited me TO examine
ms place. he led me to long swale in his
ueld, which was covered with fossils, and
tnon TO some pits which, in phosphates, ex-
celied anything | had seen. After viewing
some ten pits, ne showed me where the rock
cropped out which was of the richest kind
and in endless quantity. He had known TWAS
phosphate for over five years. His nephew
Dr. Clark Of Pulaski county, Virginia, had
organized company with $50, 900 capital.
Dr. Clark died suddenly in August last,
which put an end to the company. The old
man did not hear OF DR.. Clark's death until
the last Of December. He then secretly ill.,

some capitalists to purchase the land of the
alton landowner. That is why his neigh
6ors did not know of it. His namo is DR..
II. Nj. Fugate. He hos travelled in ali parts
OF the world and is in easy circumstances
He has theories of earthquskes. and also of
the origin of phosphates, both of which
seemed more reasonable than any of the
other phosphate theories that have heard.
