Electricity than Ever Before.


Electricity than Ever Before.
New YORK CITY.-Capt. Crossmon
of the steamship Allinncn of the Col
umbiu line, SAYS that he has never seen
in HIS thirty five years experience at
sea more gorgeous electrical storm
than that he passed through off Cape
Hnttcrns on the North Carolina coast
"n Friday night. Out of the cloudcd
sky thcro came u series of flashes of
varied hues. Electrical showers fell
into the sea for several hours. Tho
end of the display rcscmbled the SIM
ultancous discharge of n million rock
eta. Then followed darkness and tor
rents OF rain.
Capt. Hansen of the Norwegian fruit
steamer Ranan, which arrived from
Baracon likened the electrical display
to an immense sun, varying in bright
ness from dull grow to an intense
light, with intermittent flashes across
its face and around it. At one time it
looked rs though it were drapcd on
both sides with m immense double
curtain of light, which came and went
at frequent intervals during the storms
progress.
There were innumcrablc smaller
bright spots and patches, which kept
revolving around the large one. When
they seemed to lose themselves in tho
sea they were replaced by others.

The Russian Ministry of Justice is
considering q system Of providing
State-paid peoples attorneys for the

ment is that wherever tho State pro.

provide an advocate for the accused.
This practice already exists in Austro.
Hungary in tho form Of c1-officio

cases only. An association exists in

THE SOUTH ON A SOLID BASIS.
Grain Crops that viii Bring More Money thar
9,000,0 900 Cotton Crop.

BALTIMORE, MD.-Letters from near
ly two hundred Southern bankers, scat
tered all the way from Maryland to
Texas, in regard to the crop prospect
and business conditions in tho South
are published in the Manufacturers
Record. With one or two exceptions
these letters report an unusually salts
factory outlook for the agricultural
and general business interests of the
entire South.
The decline in the price of cotton
two or three years ago forced Southern
farmers, who could not continue to
borrow money in advance on their
crops as freely as before, to pay more
attention to the raising of their own
food supplies. The result has been II
steady decrease in the Indebtedness of
Southern farmers brought about by
the forced economy of the last two
years, and almost without exception
the reports from the bankers say that
Southern farmers owe less money than
at any time since the war. Added to
these favorable conditions, they have
the prospects of the largest aggregate
crops, taking grain, cotton, fruits and
all else into consideration, ever pro
duced in the South.
While the drought in the West has
cut short the corn crop of that section
unusual Favorable, conditions have civ
eli to the South the largest corn crop
thati has ever produced. Even should
the cotton crop yield from eight 20
nine million bales, MS it will probably
do provided the season continues fa-
vorable from now on. the value of the
grain crop, owing to the large produc-
tion Of corn, will exceed the value Of
