THE ROE MARKET sCooPED.

Gordon 81 Co. Clean Up the Entire
Stock of Dom este Grain.
There was a slight furry in the local rice
market yesterday. caused by the absorption
Of the entire stock of clean rice by Gordon
q Co. Mr.. G. B. Pritchard, manager of
the firms rice department, and who made
the purchases, says that the transactions
were not on account of any speculation
or speculative movement in the grain, but
for strictly legitimate purposes, the pur-
chases being warranted TO cover their firms
western orders. AS it is the days business
has concentrated the entire stock of clean
into one holding.
Harmon q Cope, whose holding was
the largest, some 5S7 barrels, say
that they obtained full figures for
their stock and for this reason they parted
with 1t. The transaction is, of course, con-
sldered large one for this time of the year.
IL is one of those incidents that rarely ever
occur in the middle of July that the mar
ket is cleaned of stock and with no prospect
OF any more of the domestic article on the
market before September.
The total sales during yesterday were
about 800 barrels. 1t is believed that prices
cannot go any higher, as when the grade of
good touches 81 cents then the foreign
article ls sure TO come in competition, as
this price is the full limit for domes-
tic rice. 1t is said that there are
at present fully 10000 bags of
imported rice in stock In New York
ready Co be put on the market TO supply the
deficiency in domestic grain, and it is more
tnan probable that consumers will have to
content themselves with foreign rice for the
balance of the season or until new rice
comes in.

issue on Sunday and use thereafter for the
season handsomely executed photographic

new departure which, IL is believed, will be
much more satisfactory to the passengers
and the railroad company after the first few
days.

sort for the people OF the interior, and it is
fast distancing all the other sea island
resorts Of the South Atlantic coast. Its

Sundays from three of the principal
cities of the interior, LIN were
sold for Tybee This does not include the
hundreds from intermediate points, such as

the hundreds who have been pouring in
from Americas, Rome, Mllledgev1lle, Car

1t is now well settled that another aud
larger hotel will be erected on the island be-
fore the opening Of the next season. The

Guards will have been completed before
that time, and it is not unlikely that the
next annual encampment will be held at

$1,000 FOR A HUSBAND.
Lucy Green's Suit Against the Coast

Lucy Green's Suit Against the Coast
Line and City and Suburban.
The damage suit of Lucy Green against
the Coast Line and City and Suburban rail-
roads for the killing of her husband on the
Bonaventure bridge during May week occu-
pied the entire session Of the city court yes
terday. All the evidence is now in and au-
thorities have been cited, and r. r. Rich
ards, ESQ.,, counsel for plaintiff, occupied the
entire afternoon In his argument. Col.
George A. Mercer will present the case for
the railroads to-day.
The suit is for IS, 900 damages and has
been stuboornly contested at every step of
the trial. Several exceptions have been
noted, which are almost sure indices point
ing to further litigation over the matter, go
as 1t may at the present trial. Witnesses
have been searchingly examined and rigor-
ously croSs-examined. No witnesses were
introduced by plaintiff in rebuttal For
the plaintiff Henry Ambos, William Berry,
William Fennell, ex-Supt. NJ. ]. Desvergers
of the Coast Line, Peter Joiner, and the
following colored witnesses were introduced:
Sam, August and Aleck Green.
The defense introduced Engineer r. L.
Owens, Martin Cooley, ex-Supt A. @.
Drake of the Coast Line, Richard E. Bell,
Henry E. Dresser Conductors A. NJ Bar
bee. Jr., and J. 8. Otto, Fireman Jos.
Brown, Civil Engineer E. ]. Thomas, Capt.
John R Dillon, and President James II.
Johnston Of the City and Suburban line.
The plaintiff seeks to establish that the
bridge was public crossing for pedestrians,
and that the engine which struck aud killed
old man Green and his son was not pro-
vided with brakes, and could not, therefore,
be controlled, and that it was a City and
Suburban locomotive and, being larger than
the Coast Line engine, was noJ suited for
the narrow bridge. and that it
should have stopped at Bonaventure
crossing, station on the line, and that In
fact the train, although called an excursion
or special train, ran all day on the day of
the accident on an alternating schedule
with the regular" train, and that the con-
ductor and engineer were unused to run
ming on that line, and to these and other
acts Of gross negligence Green's widow
should recover.
Conductor Barbea, who runs the regular
train, testified that old man Green and his
deceased son had been in the habit Of walk
ing on the track and taking close chances,
and that he had often had to warn them off,
and even slow up and sometimes come
almost to full stop, and old
man Green would laugh at the train
officials as he stepped aside from the
track, at one time being SO close to the
engine that the draft from the passing train
blew the old mans hat from his head. The
defense denies that the bridge is other than
the private property Of the railroad, and
witnesses testified that it was only three or
four steps from where the train struck them
TO the end of the bridge, which they could
have easily escaped from by an effort if
they had not invited their fate by remain
ing on the bridge.
