WHERE THE MELONS GO.
ONE MILLION TO NEW YORK AND
OVER 100000 TO CHICAGO.

The West Was Also a Heavy Oon-
sumner OF Georgia's Luscious Prod
uct-The Seasons Financial Results
Satisfactory to Both the Growers
and the Trans oortation Companies.
Fully 100000 Returned TO the Pro-
ducers.
The watermelon season has about ended.
The steamships are carrying out only few
hundred each trip now and the shipments
will soon cease altogether. The season has
been a very satisfactory one to both the
shippers and the transportation companies.
The crop was not as large "a last years, but
the financial results were far more salts
factory.
The yield per acre was fair, the crop was
shipped regularly and steadily from the be-
ginning Of the season, and there was no
rushing OF the melons, Quitting the markets
and destroying the profits of both shippers
and carriers. Owing 70 the judicious mBn-
ner in which the melons we're shipped, the
markets were oversupplied only at rare in
tervals, aud instances OF consignees refusing
TO receive melons. which were so common
last season, were almost unheard Of this
year. Asa consequence, good prices were
realized ana the growers nave maze soIne
money.
The handling of the crop has also been
very satisfactory to the railroad and steam
ship CO upsnies, the regular movements Of
the melons this season icing better for all
interested than the fits and rushes by which
the crop went forward last year.
MANY CARLOADS SENT WEST.
The movement west was also heavier this
year than last. The movement In that dt-
rection is increasing every year.
OF over 3, 800 cars handled by the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway this sea-
son only 800 went east, the remainder being
consumed in the interior and shipped west.
The shipments via the Savannah, Florida
and Western are about 300 cars short OF last
years total
NThe Ocean Steamship Company carried
nearly l zoo, 900 melons to New York this
year, and over $50, 600 to Boston. This is
about 90 per cent. less than last years
shipments. Gen. Sorrel, manager OF the
Ocean Steamship Company, reports that
the handling of the melon crop and other
fruit and vegetable crops this season has
been very satisfactory to the company and
that there has been very little complaint
from the shippers.
The Central handled about 1900 cars Of
melons this season, the greater part being
received from other lines.
A LESSON FOR GROWERS
II the growers are wise they will take a
lesson by this seasons experiences aud con-
fine their acreage within reasonable bounds
and pay careful attention 70 their ship
ments hereafter.
The watermelon crop is estimated TO have
brought about $500, 900 into the state this
season.

The Wells Defeated by the @. l.. A. by a
score of II to IL.
Three hundred people went out to the
base ball park yesterday to witness what
they expected would be good game, but
they came back very much disappointed. It
was q contest between the Wells aud C. L.
A. and the latter club came out victorious
by a score of II to ii. The game was a
combination of grievous errors and slug
ging from start to finish, and everybody
was glad when 1t was over. Neither club
seemed to be in trim and the game was one
entirely devoid OF interest.
The second game of the series Of the boys'
league between the Victors and Bay street
nine was played yesterday afternoon and
resulted in a victory for the Bay street boys

SUICIDED IN A COACH.
Gilbert johnson Fatally Slaslles Himself
on a Great Northern Train

Gilbert johnson Fatally Slasl,es Himself
on u Great Northern Train.
ST. CLOUD, Minn., June ga man
named Gilbert johnson, Swede, COM
mltted suicide in one of the passenger
coaches of the Great Northern passenger
train due here about o'clock a. m. He
boarded the train at Rothsay, the first
station this side of Barnesville, and the
first that was known of the matter was
some time after, when the conductor
passed through the coach and discov-
cred the blood running off the seat. An
examination was at once made, and it
was found that johnson had terribly
slashed his abdomen and also made sew
eral ugly gashes on his wrist, the imple-
ment used being a razor. johnson
refused to answer any questions, and
also to divulge his name, but it was as
certained from friend that his name
was as above, and that he was on the
way to Minneapolis for treatment. He
was about IS years old and single. The
discovery of the condition of affairs
caused quite stir among the passen-
gers, and he was removed to the hos
pital. At last reports he was still alive.
although no hopes were entertained OF
his recovery.

OMAHA, June 29.-The Pacific North
west send the first delegates to the Peo-
ple's party convention, the Oregon and
Washington contingent, who arrived
during the day being the first on the
ground. The Stewart boom has been
given considerable impetuous by the
announcement of the positive determin-
alton of Judge Gresham and Congress-
man Watson, of Georgia, not to allow
their names to be presented Many are
engaged in looking up the past evidences
of third party leanings in Senator Stew
art, and his supporters find encourage
ment in the fact that General Weaver
may not receive the united support of
the Iowa delegation. Whether this op-
position in his own state will endanger
his chances is not known. An arrange
ment has been made for reunion of
the Blue and Gray Saturday evening.
Memorial services for Colonel Polk and
Rev. DR.. Laimater will be held Sunday
afternoon. The woman's suffragist will
be ably represented before the convention.
Among the leaders who will be present
are Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Clara
B. Colby, Rev. Anna Shaw, Mrs. Lease
and Mrs. St. John. of Kansas. A plank
embodying their views will be presented

Twenty-Foot Rise in Six Hours
in the Black River at Black
River Falls.
Bulkhead of the Dam Closelv

ed and the City in To-

BLACK River FALLS, Wis, June 60
About o'clock a. m. Black river began
to rise and at Z o'clock it had gained
twenty feet, the fastest it was ever
known to rise, and the falls here are now
small Niagara. The bulkhead of the
dam has been closely watched all day for
fear it would give way under the
fearful pressure of water and flood the
business portion of the city. 1t appears
to be safe, though there is now nearly
twenty-four foot rise in the river here.
Places in the lower part of the city are
surrounded by water, and should the
river go much higher many families will
be obliged W move. The electric light
works are flooded and the city is in total
darkness. Great damage has been done
in cutting away the banks and streets
and undermining the rear of buildings,
some of which are flooded and families
have been driven out.

Feature ofsthe State Convention.
Dies MONIES, Ia. June 29.-The very
thing that promises to keep awake the
Republican convention here is the tenn
perance question, as usual. There will
be three factions, the prohibitionists, the
local optionists and those who want to
ignore the question. The probabilities
are that the prohibitionists will win.
Secretary Mcfarland, Treasurer Bere-
son, Clerk Pray, Reporter Raymond and
Attorney General Stone will be renomi-
mated. The real contests are for auditor
and railroad commissioner. c. G.. Nc
Carthy, of Story, J. A. Van Glider, of
Monroe, N. w. Brown, Of Keokuk, are
candidates for auditor. Mccarthy is in
the lead. Spencer Smith wants re-
nomination for railroad commissioner,
but Senator Perkins, of Page, has the
farmers support. O. L. Cooms. the In
dian story writer, has some backing.
Senator Mack and j. E. Blythe are fight
ing for the craftsmanship of the state
committee.

THE TEXAS LAUNCHED,

First IT the Now Battlesllips Now in tho
Water.
NORFOLK, Va, June 29.-The first of
the battleships for the new navy of the
United States was launched here shortly
before noon in the presence of several
thousand spectators. Many public Off
cials from Washington were present.
The United States steamship Texas is
a steel armored, twin screw, second class
battleship of 6,335 tons normal displace-
ment. Principal dimensions: Length be-
tween perpendiculars, 900 feet; extreme
breadth, 81 feet inch; moulded depth,
80 feet inches; designed draft of water
forward, % feet; designed draft of water
aft, 70 feet; the mean draft will be 90
feet inches. When carrying about 500
tons of coal, with which amount she can
steam LOO miles at her estimated high
est speed, II knots, or $500 miles at 10
knots. There is bunker capacity,
however, for $50 additional tons.
The Main Armament
consists of two 12-inch breech-loading
guns, each weighing 46 1-2 tons,
mounted in two turrets, zen echelon," :"
one being on the starboard side aft, the
other on the port side forward having a
complete broadside range on their re-
spective sides, the forward or port gun
also having a range of 40 degrees on the
starboard side, and the after gun 70 de-
grees on the port side, with six 6-inch
breech-loading guns, one mounted for
ward and one aft upon the upper deck
as bow and stern chasers, each having a
range of 120 degrees, the others being
mounted in sponsors on the main deck
The secondary battery consists of four
6-pounders and four 3-pounders rapid
fire guns, with four Alton Hotchkiss
guns, all mounted on the gun deck be-
hind 1-2 inch plating; two Gatling
guns and two 37-ton Hotchkiss guns
mounted on the bridge, the same in the
military tops, and two 3-pounder rapid
tire guns on the flying bridge. There
are six torpedo tubes, one in the bow,
one in the stern and two on each side; a
strong ram bow adds to her offensive
powers.
The turrets are arnored with IL
inches of steel, and their bases are en-
closed by diagonal redoubt armored
with 12'inches of steel, which also pro-
tect the hydraulic machinery for work
ing the guns, and the smoke-pipe castings.
A belt of armor twelve inches thick ex-
tending 2 feet above the designed water
line, 1-2 feet below it and 116 feet in
length, protect the boiler and engines.
The hull is of steel throughout, and is
built on the cellular system. A double
bottom extends under the engine boilers
and magazines, and is divided both
longitudinally and transversely into
numerous water tight compartments.
The Texas will be fitted as a flag shin
and carry complement of 1853 officers
and men, her spacious decks affording
much greater accommodation and COM
fort for the crew than is possible on
cruisers.
