The coal miners strike has been in
progress now for two weeks. 1t is es-
timated that the cost to all concerned has
been not less than $4,000, 600, of which the
miners themselves have lost 81 100000
Should the strike continue two weeks
longer the losses would be much greater
than for the first two weeks, because of
the stoppage of industries that are now
short of coal. Meanwhile, if anything
has been accomplished toward a settle
ment it has not been made public. The
miners have already lost more than they
could regain if they were to work stead

The undertakers of New York ask
the legislature of that state to protect
them from competition. A bill recently
introduced provides that nobody can
practice the art, trade, mystery or bust
ness of preparing bodies for burial, and
burying them, unless he has been ex-
smined and license by commission OF
those already in the profession" The
lawyers and doctors are now about the
only people who enjoy such protection.
There seems, however, to be no good rea.

ALGERIAN PHOSPHATE.
An American Consul Sends the De-
partment an Account of It.

Washington. Sept. 2l-Consul Charles
Grollet, stationed at Algiers, nas sent TO
the state department an account Of the
phosphates in Algeria, which he thinks
will soon become a strong source Of com
petition with the American products in
European markets.
Since the year 1856 the French explor-
ers OF Tuuis had mentioned the existence
in the western part of the country of
numerous and important phosphate
lands. Some two years ago similar dis
cOveries were made in the department
of Constantine. in Eastern Algeria,
in the Djebel Dir mountain, and
at Knsassa, in the region OF
Tebessa- The Tebessa fields are situated
in the northwest of that section, extend
over an area of several hundred square
miles, and are said 10 be almost in
exhaustible. The fertilizer, mostly COM
posed of bones and teeth of sharks, is
found in a semi-pulverized condition, in
strata from 20 inches to 10 feet thick, iu-
tercalated in white mari and silicious
limestone. Its grade averages from 90 to
20 per cent, and at places as high as s.
per cent. of tribasic phosphate of lime.
Owing to the character of the deposit
the mining of the Phosphate is exceed
ingly easy and cheap, and including all
expenses, the cost TO the miner on board
vessel the landing port does not exceed
a. 63 per Z, 240 pounds. The cost Of trans
port 10 England is S1.94 per ton and to
Mediterranean and Baltic ports ranges
from Sl.09 to 81 e., so that its cost at the
port of destination will be from S5.72 TO
$3.50 ton at English ports S6.57.
Those lands at Tebessa are under the
control of three firms, two of them En-
glish; the beds at Djebel Dir are owned
by Scotch parties, but are not vet in full
operation. although the deposits there
have been estimated at 10000 600 tons,
and the field at Kissa, where but little
work has been done yet, is the property
of Col. Corp.
In 1898, the general output of these
mines was about 5000 tons; for 1894, it
will be nearly 81, 600 two railroads being
under construction Tor their development.
Other fields have lately been discovered
in the same district, and numerous claims
have been filed with a view of
obtaining concessions from the French
government, but the consul considers the
Tebessa deposits the only ones worth
mentioning. He concludes that the
North African phosphates will prove
serious competitors against the American
fertilizer in the European markets as soon
as the newly discovered deposits have
been worked, and predicts that the Tunis-
ian phosphates will be exported when
means of communication have been estab-
lished

Eight Petrified Skeletons Found in
Shell Mound Near Middle River, in
Florida.
New River, Fla, Sept. 21-Ap inter
esting though somewhat startling discov-
cry was made near here yesterday by
John Dunn of the little dredge-tender
Ethel, and MIR. Collier, who lives at Mid
die River They started out to tap one
of the Indian mounds at Middle River,
simply flom curiosity. They dug down
only about three feet when, to their hor-
rOr, they struck human skeleton, per-
feet in every particular, except that
the bones had become petrfed. 1t
was so heavy that they concluded
not to try to dislodge it until they should
have procured help; but they kept on
digging until eight of the skeletons had
been uncovered aud plainly disclos ed TO
view. The bodies had been buried in the
shell mound IN perfect circle, one with
the head pointing outward and the
next with the feet outward, the whole
presenting the appearance of the spokes
OF a wheel. The bones have been care
fully covered and an agent of the Smith
sonian Institution has been notified and
asked TO come here.

POLITICS IN WORTH COUNTY.
A Number Of Speakers Greatly Inter.
est the People.

Poulan, Ga, Sept. 21.-About 200 citi-
zens Of Worth county assembled at Pou-
Ian yesterday to hear political issues dis
cussed. The democracy was represented
by Hon. H. G. Turner, Hon. Ben E.
Russell and Mr.. T. 5. Morgan of Savan-
nah
The populists were represented by Hon.
W r. Smith. nOmipee for congress from
the Second district, and Dr. J. H Pickett
of Ty Ty.
Mr. Turner was introduced and spoke
an hour. he was requested to confine
himself 10 the tariff and finance He
torcioly and clearly demonstrated the
great benefits the repeal of the Mckinley
bill would bring TO the people, and he
gave the people much information upon
finance.
He has given the fnancia! question
deep study, and those who hear him
learn something.
Hon. W z. Smith, the populist nomi-
nee for congress, differed with Judge
Turner on the silver question. He said
he thought the only solution to the fnan-
cial question was the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
Further along in his argument he said
that the populists only wanted $50 per
head. He thought the government
should buy the railroads, and said he was
tariff reformer When Mr. Smith
concluded, one populist called to
him in loud voice, saying.
Mr.. Smith when you get to congress,
don't tell them we have plenty meat and
corn. Hon. Ben Russell followed Mr..
Smith and gave an account of his record
IN congress. He will be overwhelmingly
reelected, and any of the pops who wish
to send a message to congress by the rep
resentative from the Second district
should consult Mr.. Russell.
The dinner was Worth county dinner,
and that is high praise.
Mr.. Morgan only had forty minutes to
speak, and he did not lose any time with
Introductory remarks. In moment he
was hitting telling ticks at the populists,
and the democrats were lifting the shin
giles with yels
He was congratulated on every side.
Even the generous DR.. Pickett, who fol-
lowed him, paid him a compliment The
doctor said he was a nice young man and
talented young man. Yes, y said the
doctor, he is pretty young man, but he
is not near 50 pretty as l am, and l will
leave it to the ladies of Worth county to
decide This assertion of the Doctors
brought down the house. The doctor is a
clever man, but certainly no one would
ever accuse him of being handsome.

tant at the sorting table-are strong argu-
ments in favor of realizing; but the
plucky old fellow says if he were twenty
years younger, or had a son to take his
place. he would not accept e, 100000 for
the property. In spite of this bit of bluff,
he viii have 70 deal, and as money is still
scarce here the Monte CristO mine will

The commissioner. from whose report
we CLEAN these particulars, says the wash.
when seen underground, is OF an uuinter-
eSung graylsh color, and all water-worn
material. a dark green pebble, shaped
like kidney bean, runs through it like
plums IN pudding, and wherever the
pebbles are thick the diamonds are thick
also. Like that in the diamond mines of
India and Brazil, the wash-dirt contains
}aspers, quartz, agate, sands tone discol-
ored by oxides, manganite, trimonite,
conglomerate quantities of small gems,
ruoles, garnets, sapphires. zircons, tour
maine, and tOpaZes, also gold and plating
II sufficient quantities to contribute ma
terlally toward working expenses.
In passing through the driv the COM
missioner noticed in parts of the face of

SAID the captain, who CALAMITY permits
lady visitors ana you will not be sur
prlsed TO hear he has q good many TO
carry away souvenirs. The Bingara dia-
monds are white or yellow, but mostly
white. Some red ones have been found,
and one rare green one, which, unfortu-
nately, some one took a fancy to. The
largest, as rule, are about two carats,
but one of eleven caratS has been found.
1t is believed that large stones will be
unearJhed when the matrix is driven on.
The price received up to the present is
81 shillings 8 pence per carat for white
stones, shillings g pence per carat for
small and of-color diamonds. The ex-
cessive hardness of the Bingara stones,
which increases the cost of cutting, af-
fects their price. A curious Characters
tic OF some of the diamonds is a cobweb
formation in the stone, and twin diamonds
have also been found. Warden Lawson,
recently sent by the mines department to
inspect the Monte Cristo. broke down
slxty-tve pounds of wash dirt, washed it
in the presence of a party, and obtained
from 1t slXty-tive very nice stones.
he broke down and sent unwashed a
similar quantity of dirt to the Chicago
exhibition, together with a number of
diamonds. From the commissioners &C
count it is evident that Capt Rogers

primitive and not adapted to deal econo-
mically with large bodies of the drift.

MISUNDERSTANDING PRICES.
October Cotton Reaches a Point Never
Before Reached on Change.

October Cotton Reaches Point Never
Before Reached on Change.
New York, Sept. 21.-A new low-price
record was made for cotton to-day when
October contracts sold at 6.27 cents, and
further sold off to 624 cents. The lowest
previous record was in 1892, when March
contracts sold at 62S cents. In ante
beLlum times still lower prices were occa-
sionally current under slave labor but
never before IN the history of the
cotton exchange has the price OF
the staple touched the low figure
now current. The immediate cause of the
decline is the large movement of cotton
at the ports and the interior with an in
different market for it even at present
low prices. Sent iment on change is
bearlsh and as low as &c is predicted for
cotton in the remote future, based
on the expectation of a 1900, 900
bales crop, with $500, 900 bales
possible and no estimate worth consider
ing below S,500.000 bales In view of the
bearish conditions prevailing, there is a
large accumulation of short interest here,
and the pessimistic view of the future,
generally taken, leads some of the more
careful operators to be conservative, as in
the event of any bull movement being
started, the short interest would be an
important factor in a rapid advance of
the price.

BIGGEST EVER KNOWN.
Over 5000 People Attend the Demo-
cratic Rally at Townsville.


Townsville, Ga, Sept 2l.-The big
gest democratic rally in the history of
South Georgia was held here to-day.
Over 5000 people were in attendance,
coming from all over the Wiregrass Geor-
gia and Eastern Alabama The business
part Of the city was gaily decorated with
bunting and flags, and the day was a gala
one IN the true sense of the word.
The speakers OF the day were Secretary
HOke Smith and Fleming duBignon. Mr..
duBignon spoke first, and was introduced
by Col. Robt. q. Mitchell He made an
eloquent and forcible speech, completely
captivating the crowd by his oratory He
spoke on state issues mainly, but defined
his position on silver; he is a bime Jallist
and against the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver at 10 TO /. His position on that
question is almost, if not quite, identical
with that of Congressman Turner
Secretary Smith spoke for over two
hours and made one Of the best speeches
ever heard here. His high Endorsement
Of the administration met the approval of
the crowd, who yelled itself hoarse at
every mention of Clevelands name. He
devoted a goodly portion of his speech to
the populsts, and there is no douOt that
he made many converts. His remarks on
finance were plain, convincing and in
thorough accord with his audience. The
cause Of democracy has been greatly
strengthened by to-day's rally.

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 21.-Solicitor Cen
eraI George r. Brown of the Blue Ridge
circuit, the circuit over which Judge
George F. Gober presides, will tomorrow
publish a reply to the charges that have
been made against him. This answer,
after a complete denial with amda its 10
support it, of all the various charges of
corruption for political purposes III the
Blue Ridge circuit 50 far as they
refer TO Solicitor Brown and incident
ally 10 judge GoOer. takes the form of a
denunciatiOn of W. G. Glenn and c. D.
Maddox, attorneys of this city. This
denunciatiou is so severe that IL is feared
there will be serious trouble Solicitor
Brown in giving the card TO the press
stated that he would remain in Atlanta
tomorrow for developments. A part of
the concluding paragraph Of the card IS
as follows:
In 1892 I assisted in representing Judge
George +. Gober before a Joint committee
OF the general assembly, appointed TO in
VeStlgate certain charges against him. l
felt that good man was being outrage
ously prosecuted, and / presented his case
with all the power and earnestness at
my command. Since that time, especially
during the present year, have
been assailed in the most
shameful, merciless and cowardly
manner, week after week, through
the columns of a newspaper published in
this city, called the Atlanta Gazette,
which is published for no other purpose
than to attack Hon. A. O. Bacon, Hon. A.
S. Clay, Judge George f. Gober and my
self, and l am informed that it is sent to
the homes of the people of Georgia
gratuitously every week laden with
falsehoods and SANDERS. They have
pursued with an appetite as
keen as death and with
step as steady as the march of the time.
They have charged everything that the
most undying hatred and unrelenting
malice could suggest They have scrupled
at nothing They have gone to my prl-
vate life and attacked my private char
acter III the most ferOcious and brutal
manner No gentleman would resort to
this mode of warfare. No brave, honest
man would shelter himself behind the
corporate name of a newspaper, and like
a cowardlY bush whacker and assassin
FIRE from ambush upon his enemies"
The concluding part OF the foregoing
paragraph is an attack upon Mr.. Glenn
and Mr.. Maddox, and is about as bitter
and offensive as language can make it.

prevent any of the operatives from re-

At 8 O'Clock mass meeting of the
strikers was held, and the chairman of
every shop crew accounted for every man
under him. The executive committee of the
union received a long list of grievances
from the pantsmakes which they want
adjusted before they will return to work.
They refuse to longer furnish their own
