Try and city property. Messrs. Anderson

The committee reported and stated that
J. X Mcdonald had exhibited a letter 10
them written by Controller Eckles stat
ing that z. p. Dismukes Of Quincy had
written TO the controller asking upon
what terms a resumption of business would
be allowed, and inquired into the condi-

aminer McDonald's report showed that
the banks condition was such that the de-

Alfred Aver offered a resolution. which

age and are prepared to discount their
holdings. Mr.. McDonald's appointment as
permanent receiver was a great surprise,
not that he is not acceptable, but that the
fact was not made public.

THE GEORGIA SNAKE Gagged.
A Desperate Negro Outlaw Behind
the Bars AT Americas.

the Bars AT AmerIcus.
Americus, Ga, May 29.-The grand jury
to-day found a true bill against viii
Thomas, with many aliases. known as the
Georgia snake" for assault with attempt
to murder He will be remembered as the
negro captured in this county a few months
ago, who was wanted in Florida and one
or more South Georgia counties.
After the true bill was found this after
noon Jailer Henderson went up to the
steel cage In which Thomas was confined
to ask him If he wanted to employ coun-
sci. He soon detected that something was
wrong. Investigation proved that Thomas
had succeeded in saving through the steel
casing which held the bars In place. and
bent the bars enough to make an aperture
large enough to pass through. Once out
of the cage It would have been short work
for him to have effected an exit through
a small set of bars set in the brick wall
He refused to tell where he got the saws
He said: They say this cage is steel but
1t saws tome like iron" Extra precautions
will be taken to prevent the escape of this
desperate prisoner.

HORSE HIDES.
MiddleburV. VT

About 90 per cent of all horse hides
taken off are being tanned into leather
nowadays and used in the manufacture
of boots and shoes, glove leather, imita-
tion buckslin. etc. The value of the
hides depends upon their size and con-
ditiou, the most desirable coming from
the large cities. where the majority of
animals killed are the result of accident.
In such instances the hides are more
nearly perfect than when the animal
dies from starvation, old age or because
of general worthlessness. At present
hides will bring 81 10 to $3.50 each in
Chicago. while some of the Milwaukee
tanners who make a speciality of such
hides are paying Il little more for No.

IHE HORSE MARKED.

On Saturday last the Chicago Tribune
presented the views of a large number of
merchants and other men of business on
the financial situation. 1t must be adj
mtted that these are not quite as cheer
full in tone as TO indicate that any opti-
that men who have experienced two full
years of depression are not in a mood to
chase ranbows or build any false hopes
on scattering CLEANS of sunshine. Yet
while these men of business hesitate to
predict, they do evince a hopefuness in a
strictly conservative way. Prices of ev-
ervthing are down to the very lowest
margin of profit, stocks are reduced to the
bare necessities of immediate demand,
and recently there has been comparative
ly little production. There must be an
increase. In the very nature of things
such increase is a necessity. The result
will be greater activity.
TO degree, that which applies to the
general world of trade will apply to the
horse interests as well. There was, in a
certain way, not necessary to specify
here, an overproduction, but in the past
two years, as nearly every stallion own
er will testify, there has been an actual
under production. The result of this
will soon be felt, and those who have
good horses for sale should reap the
benefits of such prosperity as may ensue.
The evidence that the horse industry did
not experience Il depression entirely It's
own is convincing, and that it will rally
as other industries revive is equally as
conclusive Horse Review.

THE PNEUMATIC TIRE.

An interesting series of experiments
have been made recently to test the
difference between the draught or road
friction of carriage with and without
the modern pneumatic tired wheels. Two
ordinary box buggies were employed,
each being weighted to weigh 254
pounds. On a smooth hard pine floor 1t
was found that the power required to
start the pneumatic tire from stand
still was four pounds, and the power
required to start the steel tired carriage
was three pounds. Next with an ObStruc-
ton 5-1G of an inch high it was found that
twenty-five pounds was required to haul
the teel-tired carriage over the Obstruc-
ton, and but eleven pounds to draw the
pneumatic tired carriage.
Similar experiments with the obstruc-
tons of various kinds showed that about
the same advantage was maintained by
the pneumatic tires. TO haul the two
carriages over an ordinary sand road 1t
was found that the steel tires required
about forty pounds, and the pneumatic
about twenty-five pounds. a great
many experiments of the same nature
showed little or no variation in this pro-
portion.
