rien, Brooks, Thomas. Decatur, Mitchell
and a portion of Dougherty, in Georgia,

Florida, and from close observation OF the

writer is satisfied that the cotton crop Of
those counties named is damaged from ex-
cessive rain aud rust and from the Doll

some places the damage is greater than the
above figures. In others it Is less, but care
full inquiry and estimates Of many well-ln-
formed farmers place the average shortage
of the yield at the above figures.
SOME GOOD YIELDS.
One farmer near Boston has already
gathered and marketed from twenty acres
thirteen bales Of cotton, and viii get SIX or
eight more bales from the same. Another
farmer near by will gather six bales from
four acres. Both of these crops are from
old lands. On twenty-four acres of fresh
land not far from the above noted places.
the cotton stalks are from five 10 eight feet
high and locked in five feet rows, on which
the crops promised thirty bales

will be gathered. Excessive rains
caused an overgrowth Of weeds and much
rotting Of boIls, and the boil worm has done
the balance. Continued rain, almost daily,

RUINED BY TIGHT MONEY,
A Firm OF Boston Bankers and Brokers
Go to the Wall.

Go to the Wall.
Boston, Sept. 17.-R. Gardner, Chase g.
Co., bankers and brokers at No. 14S Devon
shire street, in the Equitable building, have
failed. The firm has assigned to James L.
Phelps, general manager of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company at
No. $50 Devonshire street. The firm
is the Boston correspondent
of s. V. White & Co., of New York. Its
members are r. Gardner Chase and Charles
b. Legg of Chelsea. 1t is stated that lately
they have been doing a large business in
western railroad stock, and on the street the
general cause given for the failure is that
they were caught short ON the market
THE ASSIGNEE IN CHARGE.
Assignee Phelps Immediately took charge
OF their affairs. He says that the liabilities
are likely to amount to $500, 1000, and may
SO over that. What there is in the way Of
assets can only be determined by examina-
ton. He declines to make further state
ment at present.
CAUSED BY TIGHT MONEY.
George r. Chase, son of the senior mem
Der of the house and chief clerk, said this
afternoon: The trouble is due wholly to
the tight money, the calls upon us having
been greater than we could withstand.
Our colaterals have shrunk in value be-
You'd all expectation, and much as we en-
deavored to avert suspension, we have
been forced to. No outside transactions or
speculations have led to this trouble. 1t is
tight money and nothing else"

OUR NEW ROAD TO ATLANTA.
Everything Indicates That It VIII Be

ATLANTA, GA, Sept 1.-THE business
men Of Atlanta are taking great interest in
in the new road to be built from Atlanta to
Savannah. Col. E. &c. Machen, the pro-
jecror of the new road, went north some

New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburg
and elsewhere. The capital at
their disposal is unlimited, aud
they mean to build the road.
Six weeks ago they sent one
of their number to go to make a per-
sonal investigation of the line. He came
to Georgia and has been over every foot of
the route, talking with those who wanted
the road and those opposed to its being
built.
A FAVORABLE REPORT.
He has thus been able to form a correct
opinion in the matter and has sent on a
favorable report to his associates in the
north. They then decided to come on to
Atlanta They will arrive here to- morrow
morning and meeting has been arranged
to show them how thoroughly in sympathy
with them are the people of Atlanta, and
how they will do all in their
power to aid them. The meeting
will take place in the Kimball house and

and representatives of other classes. The
committee appointed by the mayor of Sa-
vannah, aud the committees from Sanders
vile and other places, are expected to arrive

A RAILROAD FIGHT,
Rumors That the g., F. & w. is to Fight
the j.. T. 81 K W.

INC J., t. q K. w.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 17.-Rail-
road circles are greatly exercised over a
report that the Savannah, Florida and
Western system has determined to cripple
the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
railroad if possible, as they are compel ing
railroads and have been at outs lately. 1t
is claimed that the Savannah, Florida and
Western company has concluded to give
the Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
all its freight, thus forcing the jackson
vile, Tampa and Key West company to
seek an eastern outlet at Palatka with the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad. 1t is
thought that the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West will fight the Plant system, and
it is thought that a new line to jackson
vile will be the result.

AN UNSATISFACTORY VERDICT.
a Negro Charged with Murder Ac-
Quilted at Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 17.-Yester-
day the jury in the criminal court returned
a verdict of not guilty in the case of Charles
Sample, negro charged with murder. The
evidsnce Of his guilt, it is asserted, was
clear and positive, seven witnesses swearing
that Sample shot his victim while the
latter was asleep in a restaurant Sample
swore that he saw the man make
a motion with his hand as if to draw a pis-
tol, and that then he shot him. This morn
ing Solicitor Hawkins moved that the jury
be discharged aud new venire
summoned, as he had several more
murder cases on the docket, and
could not afford to prosecute them
before that jury. Judge Green granted the
motion aud discharged the jury, which has
issued a statement giving their views aud
Justifying their verdict. The affair has
created a great deal of talk.

STEEL FROM DIxIE's IRON.
The First Cast Successfully Made by
the Basic Process,

WIG OObbbs
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept IA most
important event in the industrial develop
ment of the south occurred here yesterday
by the successful casting of steel from
southern material by the basic process.
The result clearly demonstrates that south
ern iron will make steel, and explodes the
notion that the irol contains too much
phosphorus to be used for this pur-
pose. The first cast Of twenty-five tons
was made in the presence of large crowd
and was of superior, soft, low carbon steel
finely adapted for structural WORK. A
second furnace will be put in operation ia a
few DAYS. The great Importance of this
event Is the fact that it affords market for
the lowest grade of southern iron.
