BAN FRANCISCO, August 1O.-The market for
summer fruits is overstocked, an6 prices weak.
Blackberries are plentiful and prices lower.
Bartlett pears, dull and weak; peaches and ap-
ricots, little better. Watermelons are in light
supply, but fully equal to demand. Plums are
in heavy supply. Lines and oranges are
scarce and higher.
There is little change in the vegetable market

and squash actual drugs. Potatoes moved off
slowly at quotations. Onions are in better de-
mand The butter market is heavily stocked.

NEW YORK, August 1O.-The stock market
today was dull but stagnant, and exhibited
considerable weakness during early trading.
While the syndicate plan for taking care of the
floating debt of the Union Pacific met with
some favor, the very fact that such syndicate
was found necessary is used by the bears
against the stock market. The market closed
dull and heavy at small fractional gains for
the day.

Many exchanges are almost empty and bust

wheat advanced slightly. In spring grain trad
ing is in favor of holders for barley, oats, pulse

Today English wheat is so scarce as to be prac

wheat received today by post and Eagerly
scanned, as large surplus of that quality OF

reaches the territory south and southwest of

The new bridge across the Ohio river near

report, was completed in the latter part of
the year. 1t has fully realized the anticipa-

yards in Pittsburg. and facilitating the

your eastern and western systems.
Mr.. John Whitaker Assistant General
Freight Agent of the Company, died sud-
denly on the Both of April, 1890, after a
direct connection of twenty-three years with
your service, and for ten years prior hereto
with lines allied to your interests. Mr..
Whittaker's marked ability, sterling integ-
rlty, ana unvarying courtesy in the perior-
nance OF his duties, make his loss one to be
deeply regretted Mr. Charles A. Chipley,
formerly Division Freight Agent of the
Main Line, was appointed June 1st to fill
the vacancy thus created.
The company also lost on the latter date
the services OF Mr.. Robert E. Petit, Gen
eral Superintendent of the Main Line, who,
after an association of nearly a quarter of a
century with your system, resigned from
the service to secure rest and recreation.
Mr. Frank l.. Sheppard, formerly Super

of Mr.. J. N. Mccullough, First Vice Presi.
dent of the Pennsylvania Company, and
of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis Railway Company, who,
Tor third of a century, had been prom
lnently and closely identified with the
roads embraced in your Western system.
While not directly connected with the lines
east of Pittsburg, Mr.. McCullough's un-
wearied labors on your behalf, and entire
devotion to the interests con6ded to him,
make it eminently fitting that the board
should acknowledge the deep obligations
under which the company rests toward a
tried and faithful servant who only ceased
with his life to faithfully guard the trusts
to his charge.
Your board desire to acknowledge the
efficiency and fidelity with which the duties

been discharged during the past year.

AtZ. nobody kept open house, and there

man among us who did not belong to the
regiment. He was about 35, and, of course,
we looked upon him as an old fellow. He
had the advantage of experience, and his
habitual gloom, stern features, and his sharp
tongue gave him greatin6uence over his Juni-

His looks were Russian, but his name was
foreign. He had served in the Hussars, and
with credit. No one knew what had in

mingled poverty and extravaganza. He al

ATLANTA, March 2.-The whites and
blacks of Keysville are greatly stirred up,
and serious trouble is apprehended All
the trouble is due to politics. Keysville
is in the northwest corner of Burke
| county, 26 miles from Augusta, on the
Augusta, Gibson and Sandersville Rail-
road. Some of the residents of the vii
lage, thinking the prospects for developing
the town good. commenced preparing for a
boom. Last summer, while in Waynesboro,
E. J. Goodman and several other gentlemen
of Kevsville called on Representative
Davis, from Burke county, and requested
him to make application to the Legislature
for charter to incorporate Keysville.
In accordance with the request Mr.. Davis
secured charter for Keysville, but lost the
letter that mapped out that part of town
that the whites wanted incorporated, which
excluded the negro settlements. So Mr..
Davis had Keysville Incorporated in the
charter for halt mile in each direction
from the academy, which included the negro
settlement.
On the first Tuesday in January an cleo
tion for the first Mayor and members of the
Council was ordered: The general under
standing was that Mr.. Goodman, who had
taken such an active part in having the town
incorporated, should be elected Mayor. The
night before the election the friends of Mr..
Tom Daniel held caucus and decided to
run Mr.. Daniel on the quiet The result
of the election was that Daniel was
elected Mayor, with E. j. Goodman.
R. c. Clark, R. j. Cook and DR.. W. r.
JONES' Councilmen. Goodman and Clark
being disappointed at the way things turned
out, declined to serve in the Council, conse-
quently an election was ordered to fill both
vacancies on January 20. The negroes nomi-
mated Elbert Walker and Joe Young, both
colored, for Council. A majority OF the
whites refused to vote at the second election,
SO both negroes were elected.
This was done to mortify the incumbents.
Ever since the negroes were elected the
greatesl dissatisfaction has prevailed, and
trouble in the municipalities has been brew.
ing. Both negro Councilmen several days
ago received a letter from "Red Shirts" ad- |
vising them to send in their designations at |
once, and if they refused to do so they |
would not be responsible for the terrible |
retribution that they would bring upon |
Upon receipt of the letter from the "Red |
Shirts" Walker and Young, the negro
addressed q letter to Mayor
Daniel and DR.. Jones and T. J. Cook. the |
two white Councilman, telling them that |
their election had been by questionable
methods, and as members of the same hon.
orable body they had been advised by "Red
Shirts" also by the best citizens OF Keys
vile, to resign, which they were willing to
do, provided their colleagues would do the
same thing. The white citizens also peti-
toned Mayor Daniel and his Council to re-
'ign 90 the negroes could be got rid Of.
