Imprisoned.

There was an impromptu party at
the Blowing Spring Sunday after
noon. When it rained, about twenty
people sought refuge in the little
summer-house, and while the rain fell
and the wind blew and the lightning
flashed and the thunder roared, they
stood upon the tiptoe of expectation,
which means that they had to crowd
up into bunch under a bulwark of
sunshades to avoid getting wet.

SOUTHERN PROSPECTS

Inc southern States magazine IN
this-month's issue publishes elaborate
reports from Southern bankers and
railroad officers in regard to the out
look for farming and general business
interests, with a special reference to
the diversification of agriculture in
the South:
The reports show that the unusual
ly large corn crop of 1894 will be ex-
celled this year by at least from 100,
100000 to 15O,OO0,O0O bushels, and
it is estimated that the aggregate
yield in the South will be from 500,
100000 to 65O,0OO,0OO bushels.
This yield will be the greatest corn
crop ever produced in the South.
Fruits and vegetables, as shown by
these reports, are attracting much
attention, and the yields this year
have been -unprecedentedly large.
The South has blessed as never be-
fore, and although that may be small
er in yield than last year, its money
value promises to be larger. The
Southern States says: cit is an inter-
esting story of abundant crops, of
freedom from debts and increasing
prosperity, which is told in reports
from bankers and railroad oficeB.'
Frank Hammond, president Peo-
Piles Bank, Greenyille, S. O., says:
"Crop prospects never better; special
attention paid to the Investigation of
crops; an immense acreage in corn;
oat and wheat crops large; apples,
peaches, grapes, melons and other
fruits were never SO plentiful. More
money Is now deposited in banks by
farmers than ever before in the his
tory of the State"
J. G. Rhea, cashier City National
Bank, Griffin, Ga,; "The best corn
crop ever known in this section of
Georgia. Potatoes, melons and fruits
were never better. Our farmers are
bringing meat to town to sell, where
as few years ago they had to bay all
they ate. We look upon our farm
ers as the most prosperous and indie
pendant people in the world.".
I'll. j. Rocks, cashier Fayette Coun-
ty Bank, SomerviIle, Tenn: Crops
of every kind in fine condition. This
county is shipping corn away this
yew, and the crop promises to be the
largest ever grown in this county.
There has been a large immigration
from the North durinh the last eight
cen months and is increasing so
steadily that this county Is becoming
practically a Northern colony. The
immigrants are good class of Nor
thern farmers, who come with sufi-
cient money to buy farms, and gen
orally bring their stock with them"
M. A. Sullivan, cashier Waco State
Bank, Waco, Texas: "Texas has
has neverTaised snch a grain crop;
corn and oats enough for home con-
sumption, and to spare"
r. 7 Nesbitt, commissioner Of ag-
rioulture, Atlanta, Ga: Georgia
will raise more corn than ever before
in its history; rice, potatoes, peas etc,
unusually fine. The truis crop, which
has been mostly shipped North, was
simply phenomenal"
Frank Roberts, cashier Calcasieu
Bank, Lake Charles, La: "crOps have
been raised with less assistance IN the
way of advance money by merchants
or bankers than ever before. Our

SHE SIZES TIE PEOPLE UP.

Fruit Seller Tells Why She Sometimes
Sets Exorbitant Prices on Her Wares.
While waiting for a cross-town car to
the ferry the other day, said lady
according to Chicago paper, 1 saw a
well-dressed woman stop at fruit
stand on the corner and ask the woman
in charge the price of ounces. l did
not hear the response, but heard the
inquirer's exclamation as she founced
away.
''Oh, you are exorbitantr
Two Italian laborers stopped to price
the tempting-looking fruit.
Fifty cents apiece for ounces, :"
said the fruit seller, and the astonished
men passed on almost at run, talking
excitedly together in their native
tongue and evidently feeling that they
had barely escaped serious financial
peril.
Curious to learn the reason for her
high valuations [ timidly advanced in
my turn and inquired the price of
ounces. Her terms, courteously given,
we're moderate. which emboldened me to
ask why she had named so high price
to the person who had come before me.
Il have been selling fruit at this
stand for ten years." she said, and
smiled wisely, and l ought to be some
thing of judge of people by this time.
The lady you saw did not mean to buy;
she's one of the kind that cannot get
past sale stand or counter without
stopping to price everything on it, and
| was pleased to have her think me eX-
orbitant on the first question. As for
the Italians they thought the ounces a
new kind of fruit that they might buy
and eat like an apple, so it was useless
to waste time with them, and l gave
them figure that nearly caused them
to fail down. Now, with you the case
is different. You came to me fairly for
information about something that in
terested you, and that l am very glad
to give. Behind fruit stands, as well
as in bigger concerns, we get to know
how to size up the people, and to treat
them accordingly.

The irrigation movement is accumu-
lating tremendo GUS impetus, which is
visible not alone in the west, but
throughout the country. The work of
organizing and agitating, through
national, interstate, state and county
associations, will go forward with re-
newed energy from now until the next
great international congress assemblies
at Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the
autumn of 1895. That this movement
is the hope of prosperity for millions
and that it will safeguard our insti-
buttons with new bulwark of liberty,
in the form of small landed proprie-
tors, is the confident expectation of
western men. Their appeal is to
patriotism and the best spirit of hui
mainly. They seek to build to the
credit of their country, to the good of
their race, to the glory of God. Re

The Old SteepIechase Jockey Spins Some
Funny Yarns.
Old Pat Nolan, the celebrated steeple-
chase jockey, acquired considerable
fortune in the gala days of the sport
between the flags, and, having laid up
treasures enough for his wants in this
world, proceeded to build house at
Sheepshead Bay, says the Philadelphia
Press. While it was in the course of
construction a countryman came along
and, after regarding it with interest,
said:
''Ayeh, Patsey, it's miny's the tonne,
Patsey, ye whit over the wather jump
to get the money to build that house."
YES" responded Pat, knowingly;
IAN it's miny's the tonne, Moike, Oh
didn't go over the wather jump to git
the money to build that house"
Jack Bachelor at one time owned
the celebrated mare Princess. He was
robbed going down to the track one
evening and couldn't think of any
easier way to get his money back than
to run the mare in two races that she
was eligible for on the next days pro-
gramme. 1t looked like butchery, but
Jack did it. One of the races was a
stake event. He started Princess and
won, and Immediately after sent her to
the post in purse race, which she also
captured with ease. "a man has got
to get even some way" said Jack, IAN

Uncle Bob, the famous old colored
retainer at the Belle Meade farm, is a
Chesterfield in his way. On one occa-
sion President and Mrs. Cleveland paid
visit to Gen. Jackson and, of course,
they inspected the famous racers. Bob
led them out one by one until Iroquois'
stall was reached, and it was with
much pride and dignity he exhibited
the winner of the English derby.
What a beautiful horse, and how
proud he looks!' calculated the lady OF
the white house.
Oats case he knows who's lookin'

Bob, removing his battered chapeau
and bowling like courtier.

Partridges and quail will generally,
when accidentally caught by high
wind, close their wings and drop to the
ground in a slanting direction, only
using their wings to check the flight
when near the earth. They frequently
fail to check themselves in time, or the
force of the wind is greater than they
calculated, and they are dashed with
tremendous force to the earth and are
wounded or killed. After recent
gale many such dead and wounded
birds of the land were found at diff
ferent points along the Atlantic shore.

HIS VACATION ENDED.
The President Has Started for Washington in the Steam Yacht 0neda-He Will
 Fish on the Way.

Buzzards Bay, Mass, Oct. 1.-The president has concluded his vacation, so far as Gray Gables is concerned, and left at. 5:15 this afternoon on the steam yacht Oneida as the guest of Commodore Benedict ,Private Secretary Thurber ac- companied them. Mrs. Cleveland. the chuildren and other members of the fam fly will leave next Tuesday in special car. The presidents entire journey to Washington will be made on the Oneida, a trip never before made, as the presi- dent generally sails only as far as New York, where a train is taken for Wash ington. They will proceed leisurely along the sound and may stop and fish if the water is favorable. The president plans not to arrive in Washington before Mon day. In speaking of his vacation the president said it had been a most enjoy able one. The weather for the most part has been exceedingly pleasant and fish ing in both fresh and salt water was nev- CT better There have been compare lively few callers of a political or office seeking character and the president has had most of the time to himself One thing is certain, and it was corroborated by Private Secretary Thurber today, that is, in no time of the seasons past has the president been called upon to attend to such a volume of government matter as this year. The president has enjoyed ex- cellent health this summer and he plain 1y shows it. In fact he Is fully rested and in the best of health and spirits and in splendid condition to take up business affairs at Washington.

CORBETT WILL PULL OUT. He and Fitz Are Afraid of Getting Into
 Hail


 San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 11.-Private ad- vices were received here from Austin to- day that the Travis grand jury would return an indictment against Corbett and Fitzsimmons. Immediately upon re- ceiying this informe .lon Manager Brady decided to get Cofbett out of the state as soon as possible so as to place him out of reach of the Texas authorities. Brady left for Hot Springs, where he will ascer- tain for himself whether or not the fight can be pulled off there and if he finds it can he will secure training quarters for the champion and the entire party will be removed to the new battle ground within the next few days.
 Corbett was very Respondent over the outlook today. The unlocked for opposi- tion of Governor Clark makes it very doubtful whether the fight can be pulled off at Hot Springs. The champion said this evening:
 'Fitz is preparing to get out of the state to avoid the possibility of arrest, and I do not want to remain here and be placed in the clutches of the law while he goes free. am tired of this persistent persecution on the part of Governor Gull person and 1t Is probable that I will re- move my training quarters to Hot Springs within the next few days. This is a splendid training place and I shall regret to leave"
 Steve ODonnel, who is matched to fight Peter Maher is confined to his bed with sickness. The complaint is not se- rious and he expects to resume his train ing tomorrow.

The sea was comparatively smooth at the time the Bismarck passed the yankee steamer and with a westerly wind, the rig favored the new craft

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE.
It Wrought Tremendous Damage Along the
 Lower California Coast.

Washington, Oct. IA special from Guayamas, Mex, says that advices from Pacific ports of Mexico and ports on the west side of the gulf of California show that the hurricane which swept north ward during September 30 to October 3 caused great damage to property and shipping, and that number of lives were lost. The telegraph wires were prostra- ted and information comes In by degrees as people arrive from below.
 The hurricane crossed the sthmus of Tehuantepec, swept up the coast into the gulf of California, doing great damage. The hurricane was accompanied by a deluge of water, which completed the ruin the wind had wrought. At Topolo- bambo all the houses of the American colony were greatly damaged and the custom house was wrecked. The Ahomy river overflowed its banks and destroyed sugar plantations and sugar mills thirty miles away from the channel of the stream. The entire cane crop of the state of Sinaloa, as far as reported, is com pletely ruined and the sugar plant and re- fineries at Ahone, the property of Mark Sherwood of Chicago and his associates, were demolished. The sugar crop of the Yaqui river Is badly damaged
