St Petersburg, Fla, Sept. 9.-The death
or Mrs Harvell has brought to a close
a most remarkable career She was
init of the West Coast" For nearly
twenty years Mrs. Harvell has lived
along the coast with no compa MON save
a dog. She summed all intercourse with
her fellow creatures, and 1t seemed to
anger her when any one spoke to her
Persons who came here twenty years
ago found Mrs. Haryell living by herself
IN the deserted fish camps along the
coast, her food being principally shell
fish and other products of the sea She
lived thus until a few weeks ago when
she became too i'll to get about, and was
cared for by the good people of Pennel-
las. Even in her last illness she repelled
every one by her unreasoning and morbid
perVerSeness
ABOUT her past life Mrs. Harveu could
never be induced to talk at length There
seemed to be some memory connected
with the past which made ii very bitter
1t is said that she was the daughter
Of a prominent Mississippi family and
was reared in luxury That She had been
finely educated her conversation showed
The old settlers say that when she was
about IS years old she was married TO
the captain of one of the palatial steam
boats that piled the Mississippi in those
days. Her husbands Headquarters was
in st. Louis, and they made that place
their home. Some years after her mar

night il is a fair statement OF the situa-

tween AIR. Hartridge and Air Willink.
Neither side claims that the winning can
dictate will have over go majority and the
probability is that the majority or plural
ity will be less than that figure.
That both sides consider the fight close
is shown by the fact that there has been
very little betting and that the betting
that has been done has been even. II is
a rather unusual thing for an exciting
election to he held in savannah without
a great deal Of betting and frequently
with odds. Either money is scarcer with

The vote which will be cast to-day is
variously estimated at from $500 to 300.
There are nearly $500 votes registered,
but there are great many people out Of

that the man who gets 1850 votes will be

First and Second win be the majority of
their candidate for the county at large.
Every effort Is being made by both sides
TO capture the cOlored vote, and numerous
experienced workers of both sides sat up
with IL all night last night Organized
rushes will be made on the polls as soon
as they open this morning, and there will
be some lively scrambling on the part of

CINCINNATI TOBACCO MARKET.

CINCINNATI, O., January l2.-The Sc
cond week IN the new year brought the
largest offerings In one day that our
market ever had-nameiy, 1,OGj hogsheads
on Wednesday. and over so on Thurs
day-being cut short on the latter day on
account OF the darkness which set In
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. making
II impracticable to go on with the sales.
We are glad to say that In the face OF
these large offerings no weakening in
prices was perceptible. and the results
Of the week may be considered favorable.
The stocks of old are. Of course. reducing.
The larger part of the offerings are me
dunn goods, and selling below Sc, while
the comparatively few ~hogsheads OF fine
tobacco range from Is to ac. An interest
ing comparison in this connection Is that
on a given day FOR the two years 1884
and 1925. Take Wednesday of the present
week. In 1894 there were l90 hogsheads
sold below Sc. and 5t5 hogsheads above, Il
ratio of about one 10 four I'm favor OF
the higher price; while in the present year
5lf hogsheads sold below Sc. and 81 above.
or, say. one to five in favor of the lower
price.
In new tobacco the difference Is not so
large though also showing a prepOnIer-
anc" OF low-grade goods. In an equal
number of hogsheads on the two CORE
spending DAYS prices run as follows: In
the present year 100 ~hogshrads sold from

Fl hogsheads above l0c.
In tn year 1891, ~ hOgsheads sold from

Is hogsheads above l0c.
IT the weather Is favorable the receipts
ana sales of the new crop viii continue
large from now on, and the buyers are
ready 10 take the goods.
The general bidding during the week
was quite animated. with ali the buyers
present, and sellers were usually satisfied
10 accept the bids. though there was some
ulsappotntmert among tn holders OF oil
stock; the principal reason for this. how
ever. lies in the fact that they haven't
