CONDITION OF COTTON.
The Dry Weather Appears to BE
Damaging II.

Tennille. Washington County, Geor-
gia, Sept. 23.-The weather has been fav-
orable for the opening and gathering OF
cotton, but it is getting too dry for the
maturing of the young fruit. The ex-
cessive heat is causing the bolls to open
before they are fully matured.
The cotton that is being gathered now
shows the results of the excessive rains
OF July and August, The points of many
of the locks in some bolls are rotted, and
are now all yellow and hard, making the
sample appear stained and the loss from
this cause is immense, though difficult
to estimate.
Many farmers say that the cotton will
have all opened by Oct / IL the weather
remains favorable, and this shows thar
the crop Is essentially light-possibE two
thirds as much per acre as last year This
Is conservative estimate for this sec
ton of the country. while others claim
that ii Will be very much below these flg-
ures.
1t has now been two weeks since we had
general rains and AL crops seem to be
very much in need of moisture.

Ocala, Fla. Sept 23-Tom Tucker. a
negro. shot his wife last night in Shady
Grove settlement Il miles from Ocala.
and then made his escape. They had not
been living together and Tom went to her
house for reconciliation. They talked the
matter over without getting excited. and
he turned 10 leave. picking up his gun
which be mad placed beside the house. and
without a word Of warning shot the wO-
man dead. The occurrence created great
excitement ia the neghborhOOd. 1t is com
posed mostly of negroes.
The Florida Central and Peninsular
railway was in the municipal court this
morning because 1t had attempted to
above grade. To this Ii. l.. Anderson OF
the street railway objected They also
violated the health rules. The railway at
tempted to cross Sunday night. which the
city marshal suspected, and kept guard.
At 10 O'Clock he warned off a gang of
men, and this morning the city got out
an Injunction. Mayor Reardon heard the
Ell for the municipality and III. Il. Miller
FOR the railway company. The injunction
was dissolved but the mayor warned the
railway company not to dig another
shOvelfull OF earth unless they first secur-
ed permission from the city council to
lay their switch across the street. The case
has caused considerable talk. Some say
the Plant company wants to come into
town over short line, and the Florida
Central and Peninsular company to pre-
vent them attempted to build this switch
above grade.

JENKINS CONSPIRACY CASE.
Warrant withdrawn by Order of At
tOrney Glenn.


Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 23.-The warrant
for conspiracy against Fl. T. Jenkins
the tobacco salesman, arrested last week
in the Bass murder case. was temporarily
withdrawn to-day at the instructions of
Col. w. c. Glenn. attorney employed by
the detectives TO prosecute him.
Col. Glenn was out of town when De-
eective Conn had the warrants issued,
and the first thing he did when he got
back was to have the one for conspiracy
withdrawn, in order, he said, that ne
might not be forced to show his full
hand by a trial at this time.
The taking out Of the warrant was a
mistake, and rather than have the man
tried upon It now Col Glenn preferred
that he should be released on bond or
tried only on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons, a pistol having been
taken from Jenkins pocket when he
was arrested.
The detectives realize that they made
a bad break in arresting Jenkins, at ALL
as the event has only seemed TO increase
the mystery surrounding the Bass muir
der, and may prevent them from ever
being able to bring the murderer to JUS
rice

From the Philadelphia Record.
/ Nutley, N. J., Sept 2.-Mrs. John Link,
better known as THE Duchess" died here
this morning in the home of her hus-
band, a laborer, and part of her history
has been made public. In 1888 John Link,
sturdy German, advertised for a house
keeper. The woman now dead applied for
the place. She said she was the widow
of Baron Huehueibein and had lived near
Berlin, Germany. Link offered to give her
a home and small wages, or his name and
no wages. The woman decided to accept
the latter proffer, and a marriage GER
tihcate set forth that John Link was mar
ried to Albertina Won Huehueibein, by a
German minister of New York city.
When Link brought his wife here she
attracted general attention by her pc
culiarities of dress and stateliness of
bearing. About two years ago Mrs. Link
became i'll, and was admitted to St. Bar
nabas' Hospital, in Newark. Before leav-
ing home Mrs. Link intrusted to a woman
standing that II Should not be opened
while Mrs. Link lived A short time ago
she was discharged from the hospital as
incurable The packet had been opened
II contained documents which seem to
prove that the woman now dead had been
the Baroness Albertina Huehueibein, and
that her mother had given the hand of
Albertina In wedlock to Baron George
Huehueibein.
