The Cotton Trade Between Troy and
cambridge Within Grasp.
MIDLAND CITY, ALA, July 17.-Now.
that the Plant system and Savannah, Flor
ida and Western railroad has control of the
Alabama Midland railroad Savannah's op-
portunity is better than it ever was for
controlling the cotton and trade from Troy
to Bainbrldge Savannah can certainly
count on gain Of at least one.third more
cotton on this road than last year, and if
her cotton men will furnish the money to
move the new crop of cotton a great
gain will be made to the receipts over
last year. Troy receipts will be increased
to your city. York will furnish from
fifteen to sixteen thousand bales, Newton
three to five thousand bales, Midland City
three to six thousand bales, and Dothan
about ten thousand bales, all of which will
go to Savannah. Savannah ought to sell
nearly all the dry goods to this section,
while Montgomery will do good business
here in the grocery trade.
CROPS.
Crops are good and will In many places
compare with last years crops, which wers
excellent.
1t is gratifying to see the increase Of
population of Savannah, and it has often
been a wonder to many why Savannah,
with her splendid opportunities, did not
double In population.
Everything. indicates for us good busi-
ness outlook for the business year to COM
mence Sept l, and if your city does not
reap rich harvest of prosperity II will be
your own lack Of enegry and pluck to reach
out and grasp it.

GRAIN IN SEARCH OF GORE.
The Man He Was Looking For, How
ever. Was Out of Town.

The Man He Was Looking For, How
ever, Was Out of Town.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE hot weather
got the better of Representative Grain, of
Texas, and he went cunning up into the
press gallery of the House with 32-caliber
revolver. Apparently, Mr.. Grain sud-
denly remembered that while the force bill
was building in the House he was criticised
by democratic newspapers and democratic
correspondents for being absent and un-
paired, though right across the street from
the capital when the vote for the Lehlbach
amendment was taken. PicSing out the
correspondent of st. Louis newspaper,
who was gone to New York, as Mr.. Grain
must have known, he marched on the gal
lery with view to vengeance.
TOOK 1T OUT IN WORDS.
When he got there, and finding of course,
that the man that he was determined to
make an example of was out of town he
became more vehemently enraged than ever
and proceeded to call the absent man
numerous impolitic names, as well as to
exhibit his dangerous looking weapon. He
was finally persuaded by the cool corre-
spondents to go downstairs without killing
anyb body, and will no doubt be very sorry
tomorrow. This is said not TO be the first
time that Mr.. Grain has started out for gore,
but heretofore he has confined his attention
to cOngreSSmen,

/, 100000 square miles, TO the operation of
foreign sypdicates, who would seize much
of it under desert land and timber land
laws, and the people would be deprived of
their use and occupation.
Mr. Moody argued in favor of the amend
ment and spoke of its transcendant i'm
portance to the people of South Dakota.
He ridiculed the pretensions of Maj. Powell,
and spoke of him as Tycoon of many
tails, who knew as much about the arid
lands of the west as he did about the
Mountains OF the Moon, and not one whit
more.n The region in which he (Mr. Moody
lived and for hundreds Of miles west of
it. which Mr.. Powell had des1gnat5 as arid
land, was as fine an agricultural country as
acre of desert land in it. 1t was as well
watered as any part of New England or the
state of New York.
THE SUBJECT NOT UNDERSTOOD.
Mr. Morgan addressed the Senate. He
said that the senators who had spoken as to
the magnitude and Importance of the sub
ject had not underated it. He spoke of the
irrigation provisions contained i'll the sun
dry civil appropriation bill of 1888 as i'll
considered and as the most meager uncer-
tain and unsatisfactory system for the dis
posal of the public lands that anybody
could ever have conceived of. That act, he
in either House. but was the result of an
understanding in the conference committee
of an appropriation bill. He did not
see how the Secretary of the Interior
or Attorney General or President could
have put any other construction on that
law than he had put upon it, the applica-
ton of which took ], 200, 900 square miles of
territory out of reach of the benignant sys-
tenn of land laws which it had taken so
many years to mature and to make equita-
BILE in every respect. That was the only
construction that could be given
to it. He argued that a
continuation of the appropriation
for surveys would be a wild and needless
act and would make the subject harder to
handle every year. Every appropriation
for the purpose would only entangle the
subject more and more and make it more
troublesome to get rid of.
REAGAN FAvoRS THE SURVEY.
Mr.. Reagan replied to Mr.. Morgan and
spoke in opposition to the amendment and
in favor of continuing the irrigation survey.
He described the journeyings Of the Senate
committee on irrigation last summer in the
western states and territories, and told how
his observations on that trip had led him to
favor a system of irrigation that would
make lands that were arid fruitful. With
out finishing his remarks Mr.. Reagan
yielded the floor for a motion to adjourn,
no progress having been made with the bill
to-day.
Mr.. Allison offered a resolution, on which
he said he would not ask immediate action,
making it in order at any time to move
that debate on any amendment or all
amendments on the irrigation bills be
limited to five minutes for each senator, the
question on such motion to be determined
without debate. He remarked that such a
resolution had been frequently adopted by
the Senate.
After short executive session the Senate
at 6:15 o'clock adjourned till tomorrow.

WILD WORK OF THE WIND
MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN
AGAIN SWEPT OVER.

Crops Damaged at Red Wing and
Lake City by a Heavy RAMA Chair
Factory Wrecked in the Suburbs of
st. Paul-Houses Unroofed in Other
Towns.
ST. PAUL, MINI. July 17.-Another
heavy storm visited part Of this state late
yesterday evening. At Red Wing and
Lake City heavy, beating rain is thought
to have done some damage to crops, but
other property is all right
Unakas suffers some loss from leveled
fences and overturned trees, but the worst
OF the storm there passed north of that city.
Clear Lake, Wis. according to one report,
was severe sufferer, but more definite
statements from there give the damage as
very slight
Clayton, Wis, a small town near Clear
Lake, lost a number of roofs.
IN NORTH ST. PAUL.
The worst effect of the tornado was in
North st. Paul, a suburb of this city, where
the storm played havoc with property a
few minutes, but fortunately no loss of life
resulted The storm struck there at 500
O'Clock and for a few moments the southern
limits of the little manufacturing suburb
were wrapped in a dense cloud of mist
driven before furious gale With cyclonic
conditions large crowd of people had
been on the lookout and there was the
widest CONSERVATION for a few moments,
but the storm veered off to the east and
passed on.
CHAIR FACTORY WRECKED.
The only damage was to the plant of the
American Chair Company, which was
totally wrecked. 1t was two-story brick
building and stood next to casket works,
being the southern-most building of the
town. The wind caught the upper portion
of the building and cut it off as if by a
knife, lifting it bodily and smashing it to
pieces some distance away. At the same
time the walls were crushed together like
an eggshell, leaving it an utter ruin. The
loss will probably reach $40, 900, as the COM
pany had about {, 900 chairs ready for ship
ment which were destroyed. The plant
was erected about eight months ago by a
Chicago concern, and was building up a
fiourishing business.
A CYCLONE AT PEORIA.
PEORIA, ILL, July IA small cyclone
visited the country just across the river
from this city at Q o'clock this afternoon,
wrecking freight train and tearing down
trees and small buildings. One man, Mr.
Emerson, of Auburn, N. Y, was killed by

SHOT BYDR. NORTON'SSON
TWO BROTHERS KILLED IN A ROW
OVER A MULE TRADE.

The Norton Homestead Near Guytou
the Scene of the shooting-one OF
the Birds Had Drawn a Revolver
Before the Fatal shots Were Fired
GUYToN, GA, July IA horrible double
murder was committed in Effingham
county to-day.
r. g. Norton, Jr., is the slayer and
Willie Bird and John Bird, nephews of Col.
e. Bird, are the victims
As the writer was passing the old home
stead of DIR. r. @. Norton about 8 o'clock
this afternoon he was stopped by Mr.. BIan-
ton, and on going to the lot beheld the
bodies of Willie Bird and John Bird laying
dead, about twenty feet apart.
NATURE OF THE WOUNDS.
The entire back part of Willie Birds
head was blown off, and John Bird was
shot in the abdomen.
Yesterday at the county dinner Robbie
Norton aud Willie Bird traded mules.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
This morning Bird, being dissatisfied with
the trade. hitched up the mule to his road
cart and, accompanied by his brother, John,
drove up to DIR. Norton's place.
BIRD ARMED.
Bird tried to annul the trade. Upon
young Norton's refusal to accede TO the re-
quest. and upon the refusal Of Mrs. Norton
to deliver the keys, Willie Bird drew his
pistol and told his brother John to break
down the door and take the mule out.
The NEWS correspondent could not learn
any further details, but it must have been
at this time that Norton shot the two
Birds, as two reports were heard.
No one witnessed the shooting except
Mrs. Norton and colored boy.
NORTON FLEEs.
Immediately after the shooting young
Norton, accompanied by the negro boy,
hitched up buggy and left.
1t is thought that they passed the Savan-
nah river at Sisters Ferry and are now in
South Carolina.
BOTH FAMILIES IN IGNORANCE.
The families Of the young men are still
ignorant of their death and will not know
before midnight.
The coroner will take charge Of the bodies
tonight.
Possibly more light will be developed at
the inquest.
The news will be great shock to Col. T..
Bird, who has been father to the young
Birds since they were small boys, as their
father died when they were quite young.
DIR. Norton will probably be ig-
norant Of the entire occurrence until he
reads it in tomorrow mornings NEWS.
