land Senator German said
The County Fair.

The Hartford county fair, which will open
next Tuesday, promises to be all that could
be desired in the way of practical illustra-
ton of the varied agricultural resources Of
our good old county. The directors have la
bored diligently to perfect the manifold ar
engagements necessary to make the exhibition
a success, and their self-sacrifcing and unset
fish labors should meet with hearty recog-
milton on the part of the people of the coun-
ty, by a large attendance every day. In ad-
dition to the display of superior vegetables
and field crops, which q favorable season has
made possible, we may expect to see splendid
herds of cattle of various breeds and larger
collection of fine horses than has ever been
shown on the fair grounds. Nor have the
directors neglected to provide for the enter
tainment of the crowds which are expected,
after they have inspected the stock and other
articles on exhibition. Every day there will
be trials of spe ed and amusements of various
kinds. Among these there will be a splen-
did exhibition of Japanese day fireworks,
generously given free of expense, by Mr..
Rouss, of New York. These will be novel
and interesting.
On Wednesday Hon. j. NJ. Rusk, Secretary
of agriculture, is expected to deliver an ora
ton and there will also be an exhibition of
trained animals.
On Thursday there will be mule races, an
other exhibition of trained animals, minstrel
sy, &c.
On Friday there will be grand tourna-
ment for the State and county champion
ships. This affair, it is expected, will eclipse
any tournament held in the county for many
years; together with trial of speed of Har-
ford three-year old colts, the prizes being $50,
$40, $50, $50, and $40, SO that every farmer
who has fine colt will have an opportunity
of showing it and contesting for prize.
The committee on amusements have spared
no pains to provide entertainment in their
department, and we are safe in predicting
that the fair next week will be a success in
the number of people who attend and in the
interest and variety of the exhibition.

Harrord's Products at the Worlds Fair.

HarfOrdS Products at the world Fair.
The U. s. Department of Agriculture at
Washington has appointed Mr.. William T.
Watson, of Fallston, to visit our county fair,
to examine and report upon the products Of
the soil of Hartford county and obtain SAM
Piles thereof for exhibition at the Worlds
Fair at Chicago. The duty could not have
been entrusted to more intelligent or careful
person, and we trust Mr.. Watson will be aid
ed in every way in his task by our farmers.
Mr. Watson desires to secure samples of
all corn, wheat, oats, barley or any other
ed that every farmer in the county who has
raised any kind of grain of superior quality
will send at least one quart thereof to the fair
for the purpose proposed. From these SAM
Piles Mr.. Watson will select the best for the
Exposition. The instructions, in brief, are
as follows:
Select one sample of each of the two vari-
cites of wheat of which there is the largest
acreage in the county. Also one other sam
pie of any wheat which may be considered
most productive in Hartford, although the
acreage may not be large. Also sample of
any variety of wheat recently introduced
which seems promising of good results. Also
q sample of corn, oats, rye, barley or other
grain. Besides this loose grain there are de-
sired three choice but typical ears of corn, of
one variety, that variety being representative
of the variety grown by neighboring farmers.
Mr.. Watson will meet in Exhibition Hall,
on the fair grounds, every day during the
fair, from ii to 10 o'clock, any person bring
ing samples as requested, when he will OBJ
tain from them information as to the yield,

"Wil she Divorce Him2a

The sale OF reserved seats for Cora Tan
ner's performance of "Win She Divorce
Him" tomorrow night began yesterday
morning. Miss Tanner has been seen
here before, but to many theater-goers she
will be new actress. She comes with the
endorsement Of the leading critics of New
York, Brooklyn and Boston. The play is
the story of husbands unfaithfulness and
a wife's devotion, which leads her to for
give her husband and become recon-
ciled to him after she has instituted pro-
ceedings for q divorce, the reconciliation
being effected by a mutual friend, who Is
also the rejected sutton for the wife's hand,
and whom the husband suspects, without
grounds, of aiding in getting the divorce to
obtain the hand and heart of the heroine.
So much for the serious part of the play
Among the comedy roles there is young
welded couple on the point of obtaining q
divorce because Of "too much mother-in-
law on the brides side, and "too much
father-in-law" on the husbands side, the
divorce proceedings being quashed by the
husband. These are the two plots
running through it. The Brook
Ign Standard Union says of Miss
Tanners last performance in Brooklyn: I'm
the role Of Isabel Spencer" she won we'll
deserved honors, and was called before the
curtain at the end of each act The oharac-
ter gives her plenty OF scope to display her
histrionio abilities, and the well-won APP
plause bestowed upon her was the best
criterion that she fulfilled the expectations
OF the critical audience that witnessed her
performance. She has surrounded herself
with distinctly strong company

once in six weeks or so about the enormous
wealth of the multi-millionalres of this me
tropolis, says Col. Cockerill in his New York
letter The usual formula is about this:

900; all the Vanderbilts, $500, 600. 900: all
tue Astors, $500, 600 900, and SO ON. Some
times one and again another is put at the
head OF the list, as not only the wealthiest
of the lot butas ''the richest man in Amer
lea. Every one of these great
fortunes is enormously overestimated.
Probably the best of them, the
Astors, may amount to the really inn
mense sum Of 500 10000 At that. it
really is worth more than any other. very
likely any three more fortunes put together
in this town, because it Is tangible-you can
put your finger on it and see it, since it is in
houses and other real estate of computable
value. and not In wind or air or watered
stocks which can be called worth as MANY
millions as the possessors choose to put on
them. 1t is just as easy, for example, to say
that Jay Gould is worth $l,00O.O0O, 600
as that he has S200,0 600, and
1t would be just as true. The
smaller fortunes are likewise immensely
overrated. A painfully conspicuous

only to meet the deficiencies or defalcations
of his son is said to have Swept away his
entire fortune.n There is scarcely a week
but some young woman is paraded in the
society" columns as "having in her own
right" anywhere from $4,000, 900 to $780,
600, 600; yet, when she marries, her entire
fortune just about suffices to furnish the fiat
in which she and her husband begin mar
ried life, The preposterous yarns" about
the great wealth of our widows be-
come very thin when they are unraveled.
The publicity given to the engagement of
Mrs. Marshall o. Roberts has given equal
and painful publicity to the exact amount
of her heretofore estimated "millions.n She
has no millions. She derives from her late
husbands estate an income said TO be- about
$40 900, which expires with her own death,
so that Col. Ralph Vivian cannot be accused
OF being fortune hunter. Indeed, it is
now said that Mrs. Roberts has insured her
life for 100000 for the express benefit of

Columbia People Propose to Extend
1t to Monroe.
The Columbia State thinks the South
Bound railroad will be built TO Monroe, N.
G. It says: 1t appears that the South Bourd
road is to go on to Monroe, N. c., and from
the northern connection, as originally con-
templated and recently outlined.
The matter has been talked of very much
| Of late, especially since the South Bound
company increased its capital stock so much,
but not until last week did it take definite
shape.
Mr.. Cole. one of the leading spirits Of the
firm of McCabe & Noble, who were the
principal builders of the South Bound said
that Mr. Noble had just returned from New
Orleans, where be has been on railroad bust
ness and that both he and his partner. Mr.
McCabe. had left during the evening for
New York to negotiate with an English
capitalist for funds to build a line of rail-
road from Columbia to Monroe.
When questioned about it Mr.. Noble was
rather reticent, but said the plan was to
form a combination between the South
Bound people and the foreigners for the
completion Of the road, which would ulti-
mately end in the latter obtaining full con-
troll. He said this plan had been talked
about for about a fortnight
President Conner Of the South Bound
Railroad Company and President Denmark
Of the Savannah Construction Company

ments. They said that they are news to
them.

at is our idea to complete the connec-
ton to Monroe some day, but no arrange
ments have been made looking to that end.
The firm of McCabe Sc Noble, or McCabe,
Noble g. Mclaughlin, did the
trestle work on the South Bound. 1t is O
reliable firm. If they are making any ar
rangements to build a railroad from Co.

Mr.. Denmark said it will probably be
some time yet before work is commenced

line OF the Macon and Atlantic railroad,
where work has been abandoned for the pres
ent. In explanation of their location near
Savannah they say that Savannah being the
nearest point from their camp where they
ceased work en- the Macon and Atlantic,
they came here to rest up before
seeking work elsewhere. 1t was learned
from q rename source yesterday, however,
that they have made arrangements TO re-
main in this neighborhood for two OF three
months, and that members of the party
have said that they expected to commence
work near Savannah soon. Contractor
Russell was a subcontractor under Nc

COTTON TAKES A TUMBLE.

A Drop OF 28 Points in Futures Since
Last Thursday.
The spot cotton market was quite easy
yesterday. and prices fell off q cent in all
grades. There was fairly steady inquiry,
and some sales were made at even less than
the midday quotations.
The New York market has gone
to pieces in the last few
days, and since last Thursday
there has been a decline of % points

the weakness was the posting in the New

off again heavily owing to the bear attacks

1t is believed by some that New York is
at her old tricks when she catches Liverpool
closed and is manipulating the market, as
the port receipts on Saturday and yesterday
showed decided falling off with those of a
year ago.
The estimate for receipts to-day at New
Orleans of q. 900 to 10000 bales, caused con-
tlnued selling, and prices gradually went
down again. while. 1t is said, calls for adj
dltlonal margins were not responded to,
and the market was left in a weak and
unsettled condition, owing to stop orders.

TO FORCE A DECISION.
WANTS BULL STREETS PAVE
MENT QUESTION SEGTLED.

He Will Bring the Matter Up In the
Shape of an Ordinance at the Next
Council Meeting - The Alderman
Thinks West Broad Street Should
Welt on Bull Nothing Saved By
Putting the Improvements on a
Year.
The question Of paving Bull street to the
park is still hanging fire. The city council
is not a unit In favor Of the Improvement,
and for that reason probably the matter
has not been settled.
Alderman Harmon, chairman Of the
street and lane committee, and Alderman
Cam, one of its members, want the Bull
street pavement to give way to West and
East Broad streets next year, but
Alderman Bailey, another member OF the
street aud lane committee. doesn't see any
necessity for waiting, and he proposes TO
make the council come TO some dennIte
conclusion at its next meeting by Offering
an ordinance providing for the continue
ton of the pavement from harris street to
the park.
Alderman Bailey believes West Broad
street can wait year on Bull street. be-
cause the claim which Aldermen Harmon
and Cam set up for its pavement on the
gr 0und OF greaDor 0re prOtectiOu lot tue
southwestern part of the city will be satisfied
TO a certain degree by the paving of jefferson
street to Henry.
The $4,000 appropriation for street
paving, Alderman Bailey said, will be ample
to finish Bull streets asphalting and also
continue the graywacking of East Broad
street. Because of its prominence, IL nothing
else, Alderman Bailey desires TO have Bull
streets asphalt pavement carried through
TO the park. 1t is the street of all streets in
which Savannahians, rich or poor. black or
white, pride, and the alderman thinks that
if the question Of its pavement were left to
a vote Of the people the verdict would be
tremendously in its favor.
There is no economy in putting back the
improvement Of Bull street in favor of West
Broad, because the cost of paving the latter
street with graywack would be practically
as much as the cost of esphalting Bull because
West Broad street is wider and would re-
quire more curbing, grading, grassplat-
ing, ETC.
The macadam foundation for the asphalt
has been laid on Bull street down as far as
State, and the street pavement has been
completed to the center of South Broad
street. Workmen have started TO grade the
portion from Bay street to Congress, in
GLIDING Bryan and St. Julian streets from
Drayton 30 Whitaker streets. The work
is being pushed rapidly and will be COM
pleted to Bay street in few weeks.
