Quay IN FLORIDA.
The senator Don't Look for War over
Venezuela.

Jacksonville. Fla, Jan. 9-Senator Matt
5. Quay Of Pennsylvania arrived in the
city this morning in a private car, from
Washington. and left at 10 O'Clock for ST.
Augustine. and from there he will go TO
his winter home at st. Lucie, on the In
dian river. where he will spend two weeks
fishing.
The senator is accompanied by Frank
Reede, secretary OF state OF Pennsyl-
vania; Amos II. Milan. auditor general: II.
Jackson, state treasurer; James W. Lat
Ia, secretary Of Internal affairs; John A.
Glenn, corporation clerk; Henry X. Boy
er, eX-state treasurer, and Lyman ID. Gill
bert OF Harrisburg, Pa.
In speaking of the Cuban rebellion, Sen
atOr Quay expressed his opinion that a
resolution TO recognize the belligerency of
the insurgents, If brought before congress
to-day, would pass, so strong is the feel
ing OF sympathy for the oppressed Gu
bans.
The senator does not smell any powder
in connection with the Venezuelan cpl
sOde. He has no doubt that a partition
line reasonably satisfactory both TO Eng
land and to Venezuela Will be agreed
upon.
President Cleveland's action I'm appoint
ing the Venezuelan commission and the
hearty cooperation OF congress in the
matter, have been sufficient to disincline
England from maintaining an unrcason-
able stand in the matter.
As for the reported Ouay-Martin recon-
citation, there Is no foundation whatever
Ter II, according to the senator.

STAGGERED BY OLD SLEUTH.
A CHICAGO OFFICER OPENS THE
EYES OF ATLANTA.

pOsitiOn-The Commissioners Pre-
sent Him With a Gold Watch and
Now He Presents n Bill for $3.50 for
Incidental Expenses.
Atlanta. Ca, Jan. s.-The passing up Of
expense accounts by the board Of police
commissioners has shown that body thai
some things which are supposed 10 De
gratutious are most expensive. During
the progress of the exposition the neigh
borly city Of Chicago learned that At
lanta wanted frst-class metropolitan de-
tective to help the local sleuths until the
show closed. Considering nothing too
good for Atlanta. Chicago offered one Of
her best men, Fitzpatrick. by name. free
gratis. as 10 salary The offer was &C
cepted. The local commissioners were
only to pay Fitzpatrick's incidentals. II
appears that the Chicago sleuth was here
for a good time. as the bills for his incl
dentals so far presented show up $3.50 for
his two months stay in the city, being
about as much as the salaries of four OF
the local force for the same period.
To make the matter more interesting,
before the Chicago sleuth left for home.
he was presented with "A 800 gold watch
by the police commissioners, who thought
that was the proper caper. as he was
working for nothing. The watch was to
have been paid for out OF the city funds,
but since Fitzpatricks "incidentals' have
been footed up. point of legality has
been raised on this and the generous com

The Proprietor sim Having "A Hard
Time with His Creditors.
Atlanta, Ca. Jan. 9-The Hotel Jackson,
the handsome six-story brick building,
which stands at the corner of Pryor and
Alabama streets. formerly a business
block, but remodeiled for hotel purposes
by Capt Harry Jackson. the owner, a few
months before his death, has become the
subject of litigation that is attracting a
good deal of public interest. The hotel was
designed by Capt. jackson to be perma-
nent institution. IL was opened when the
exposition began with Capt. w. A. Camp
in charge. He was to pay a rental of &c.
600 for the 100 days of the exposition, but
IL appears that he did not come up to the
mark and upon the sudden death of Capt
Jackson, Wilmer Moore. the administra-
tor of the estate. applied the law to en-
force the payment of the rent and later to
eject Mr.. Camp. There were also other
legal complications on account of the ho-
tel furnishings, etc. and for several days
the sheriff gave most of his time to looking
after this litigation.
Manager Camp secured an injunction to
restrain his ejectment for ten days, but
when the bills for gas and electric light
came in he did not have the funds to pay
them. and so the hotel was left in dark
ness Tonight Mr.. Camp is Keeping sol
itary vigil in the big hotel with a cou-
pie Of tin lamps. He claims that II his
lease is TO be terminated he is entitled
TO some $1,000 from the Jackson estate,
claiming further that the Jackson estate
is insolVent, and for that reason he Is de-
termined to remain in possession. An
in connection with the hotel, but this
was closed to-day for the lack of funds
to renew the license, which had expired.
If the courts can succeed in STRENGTHENING
out the ENHANCEMENT. the hotel VIII be
reopened. 1t Is splendidly equipped, and
is a decided addition to the city.

ernl Of Its officers.
Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 9.-The recent order
of the governor requiring the Gate City
Guard to enlist in the regular state SER
vice or be disbanded as a military organ
ization, it appears will cost the company
the further services of several of it's most
popular and influential officers. Col. J. z.
Burke, commander of the active compa-
ny of the Guard. has refused to serve in
that capacity after the enlistment goes
into effect, and other officers may follow
his example for the same reason that is
alleged to actuate the captain. 1t is un-
derstood that Col. Burke and other off,
GERS are unwilling to be subordinate to
Col. John 5. Gambler of the Fifth regi-
ment, to which the Guard will likely be
attached by order of the governor A bit
ter feeling was displayed between the
Guard and the Fifth regiment over the
right of the former to exist as an indie
pendent command, and Col. Burke il is
understood, regards it as lowering of
his dignity TO serve as an officer under
Col. Gambler, preferring to relinquish his
commission rather than do so

GRAPE ENEMIES.

HAWK MOTHS AND Cur WORMS.
The larvae of upward of so moths
feed on the foliage of the grape.
Many Of these are rare, yet many
others are occasionally destructive.
Aside from the leaf,folder already
discussed, perhaps the leaf feeding
caterpiIlars Oftenest the cause of
important damage are the large
green or brownish, usually horned.
sphingid larvae and certain cuts
worms.
The larvae of some ten species Of
hawk moths or sphingids occur on
the grape, and Nearly all are wide-
ly distributed. The one most FIRE
quently met with is the Achemon
sphinx The sphinx lar 7@ strip a
branch of u time completely, and
are therefore, easily noted, They
are not.very often abundant and
the injury is not very great, except
in the case Of young vines, which
may be entirely stripped and killed
by a single Iarva. Hard picking
is ordinarily the simplest and most
satisfactory remedy.
The climbing cut worms have at
times proved very destructive TO
the buds and foliage of vines, and
in northern New York, and partic>
ularly in the raisln district Of Freso
no County, Cal, as much damage
has been done by them as by any
other insect enemy.
Or the several species which in
different localities have been troub>
lesome, the worst record may be
assigned to the darkesided cut
worm and the variegated cutworm
both occurring through the Uni
ted States, and the ones chiefly no.
ted in California. Gutworms res
main concealed in the ground dur.
ing the day and climb up and strip
the vines at night. They may be
easily destroyed by the use of q
poisoned bait of bran, arsenic Coz

sweetened with a little sugar. Il
should be distributed about the
base of each vine in the form of a
mash, d handful or so in a place.
