OoRDELE's FATAL FIRE.
"A Fuller Account Of the Burning O
Mrs. Peters and Her Child.

"A Fuller Account of the Burning OF
Mrs. Peters and Her Child.
CoRDRLE, GA. Jan. 10-At 3 o'clock
Thursday morning dwelling occupied by
a family named Lot and Mrs. Peters, with
her little s-year-old daughter, was discoy-
cred to be on fire. The Lot family were
away at Gainesville, and in their absence
Mrs Peters had requested w. E. Smith 10
stay in the house with her as a protector,
which be did, occupying front room while
Mrs Peters and her child slept in a back
room across the hall from Smith. Smith
wss awakened by the smoke in hts room.
Pulling on his trousers hurriedly be ran out
bare-footed to Mrs. Peters room to
save the occupants, but found the door
locked. He succeeded in breaking in the
door, when the flames shot out, forcing him
to withdraw. He then saw that the fire
originated in this room. Nothing further
could be done, and three houses were
burned. When the flames had sufficiently
consumed the walls so that those standing
without could see in Mrs. Peters room her
body was seen in one corner, and the body
of the little girl was lying near the door,
neither near the bed.
As the house was a single-story, four-room
house, with window and door through
which any one might have escaped, and as
no screams were heard it is believed there
was foul play. Bloodhounds are now on
the track of suspicious character, but
what the outcome may be no one can say.
Mrs. Peters was a widow, who came to this
country from England about six years ago,
and had lived not quite one year in Cordele,
was accomplished and refined, and, with
her bright little girl. bad made many
friends in Cordele. Their sad fate has cast
a gloom over the town.
Cordele has not had a fire for about a year
until two weeks ago, since which time ten
houses have been burned.

TIE Estimates of the Department OF

TIE Estimates of the Department OF
Azriculture's Statisticisn-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The estimates Of
the products Of corn, wheat, and oats Of
1890, as completed by the statistician Of the
department Of agriculture, make corn ag-
gregate d.4s9 $4,000 bushels; wheat,
49,, 262, 900 bushels; oats, So, 62l, 900
bushels. The area Of corn, which
was slightly increased In planting,
was reduced by utter failure and abandon
msnt of more than 1000 900 acres, the area
harvested being 1879, 763 acre. The aver
age yield per acre was 20.7 bushels. and the
supply for consumption per head OF popula-
ton is % bushels, or II bushels less than
last year. The rate Of yield was lower Ia
1887 and 1851, the years Of very severe
drought.
THE WHEAT AREA.
The aggregate wheat area is 36,OS1, $50
acres, nearly the same as in loSs aud the
yield per acre is Ill bushels. These are
measured bushels Of quality grading some
what lower than usual, the weight OF which
will be given IN the March report.
Past records have shown that the
annual differences in the weight OF
the crop are not often more than pound
above or below the average weight Tor
a series of years, the lowest for seven years
1887. The yield per acre is the same as In
1883, when the product was nearly 40, OOO,-
600 bushssi, and, with twoexceptions, Ii the
lowest rate during the last decade.
THE DAT CROP.
The area in oats was %. 342, 345 acres and
the yield per acre was 1873 bushels. This Is
only "A per cent Of the average Of ten years
past. which was 26.6 bushels, and the small
est rate of yield ever reported by this office.
The December condition Of the growing
wheat crop is returned al 95.4, and
Of rye 90 per cent. This is better
than the December returns for two
years past. Along the Atlantic coast
slight depreciation is noticed as the result
Of the excess Of moisture in some localities
making planting late. aud giving rather
small growth before the advent Of
freezing weather. In the Ohio valley
the season was generally favorable
for seeding and early growth, and the
plant entered the winter quarters In
promising condition. Some damage was
done by the Hessian fly, especially in early
sown fields. The condition IN Missouri and
Kansas was variable, local injury from
drought and the fly combining TO some
what reduce state averages.

Agreed to Sever their Martial Rela-
tions.

tions.
With very little ceremony and appar-
emily no heartburnings on either side Mr.
and Mrs. William II. Stewart of Chicago
agreed to sever their marital relations and
go different waysiiurlng the rest Of the +
lives on Monday last. Stewart, who states
that he Is a commercial traveller, went to
Baltimore with his wife and child, boy Of
years, and took rooms at Miller's hotel
Mrs. Stewart is handsome and stately
woman about so years old, and from APP
pearances the relations between husband
and wife we're all that could be desired.
A recent arrival was the cause Of the
arrangement He signed the register as
William K. Richards Of Philad elphia. His
meeting with Mrs. Stewart was surprise
TO both, and even greater surprise party
to MIR. Stewart when he learned that Rich
ards was an old flame of his wife's. Evil
IDENTIFY the OLD love had been revived by the
renewed acquaintance, and Richards ar
rival appeared to work a change in the
conduct of Mrs. Stewart toward her liege
lord, and it soon became evident to the
husband that his wife was exhibiting a
decided preference for the newcom er.
long in suspecting the real state
of bis wife's feelings, but he
determined to make sure whether his wife
cared more for Richards than she did for
himself, so he plainly told her that he was
laboring under the impression that she pre-
feIred Richards to the man to whom she
owed allegiance under the marriage laws
and that If he were correct in his surmises
she had better make her choice at once.
Mrs Stewart was not long in making her
choice She almost Immediately declared
that Richards was the man into whose
keeping she would confide her
future happiness. The boy, however
was the only obstacle TO an amicable separa-
ton. Mrs. Stewart pleaded long and earn
estly for the custody of her child, but the
father refused to yield. Finally, with a
cheerful adieu to her husband and kiss TO
her boy, Mrs. Stewart left the hotel with
Richards. Stewart remains at Miller's He
does not show any resentment, but says be
will never take his wife back again. As soon
as he returns to Chicago he will probably
take steps to obtain divorce.

Prevalent and Fatal
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 10-The grippe in
this city grows more and more alarmingly
prevalent, and the frequency of fatal cases
seems much greater than last year.
There is scarcely a family without
its sick list, and whole households have
in many instances been stricken. Numbers
of business men are every day encountered
on the street or bending over their desks
with scarlet faces foretelling approaching
illness, the coming Of which is often APP
parent to the observer before the victim
himself becomes aware of it. The police,
whose duty compels them TO brave the
weather, have been attacked with espe-
cial malignity and the force is badly
crippled. Yesterday thirteen absences
from single watch Of about thirty-fve
men were reported. To-day fifth Of all
the regular patrolmen are down with the
disease, besides a number of supernumera-
ries and several regulars known to be i'll,
though reporting for duty.
