COOLEST OF THE WINTER,
MERCURY FALLS WAY BELOW THE
FREEZING POINT.
Three Most Disagreeable Days and a
Few Flakes of Snow. Young
Oats Killed.

The blizzard struck this section broad
side last Wednesday, and continued
through Thurs lay and Friday.
1t was by far the coolest weather of
this winter, and while the expected
snow came not the mercury went way
below the freezing point and the popu-
lace shivered. At one time scurrying
flakes of snow fell, though scarcely per-
ceptible.
The thermometer registered in Dawson
as low as 8 degrees, and the ''oldest in
habitant' brought out his weather sta
istics to show that tie cold wave was
the severest in two years. On February
8th, 1895, the temperature fell to s de-
grees above zero, perhap the lowest
point ever reached here.
If there was any suffering among the
needy people the fact was not made
known, the city authorities receiving
no calls for assistance from any source
The freeze caused the farmers consid-
cradle loss, they reporting young oats
badly damaged and in some instances
killed.

The astronomical taste of Austria
differs very materially from that of
Germany. Fried carp, little sausages,
noodles and cakes favored with pears
compose the ordinary menu of the mid
die class Viennese, but on Christmas
day roast turkey, or, in the absence of
that, goose, with potatoes, is the simple
feast on the Austrian's table The tur.
key is dressed with apples and German
vermicelli mixed with honey and poppy
seeds. Poppy seeds are also baked in the
bread and so arranged as to form a cross
when the bread is cut. The dessert is of

They were two pretty girls, and they

each one opened her purse.

turned suddenly to his horses, and the

SENEFELDERS'S] DISCOVERY.
The Great Value of Lithography In Tho
World of Modern Art.


World of Modern Art.
The full significance of Senefeldor' s
great discovery, just 100 years ago, was
not so much that a calcareous stone
may be bitten by a weak solution of
acid, so that the raised portion when
CREASED (the surrounding parts being
wet) may print in a press like wood
cut-though with scraping, not a di-
rect downward, pressure-but it consist
edin the demonstration in the first place,
that prints from its surface may be re-
duplicated in vast numbers without Wis
ible deterioration, and in the second,
and still more important, that each such
print is practically an original. Nay,
more than this. AS NJ. f. P. Dillon re-
minds me in a panegyric on his favorite
art, the greatest merit Ct this method Of
preserving and indefinitely multiplying
a drawing lies in the escape of the artist
from the traduttora tradltore-from mis-
representations by eHgraver or by cam
era Indeed, when the artist has made
his design upon the stone itself, each
impression from it Is as much the
original as each and every photo
graphic print taken from negative is
an original and not a copy Of any other
thing. Even when the artist has drawn
upon transfer paper instead of on the
stone proceeding for convenience sake,
which, in the opinion of some purists,
is held il, a measure to invalidate the
name of TYPOGRAPHY as applied to 1t,
though not thereby rejecting III any de-
gree on the beauty Of the work itself,
the impressions taken are still originals,
inasmuch as the actual work, the artists
own lines and dots, have in due course
been transferred bodily by mechanical
pressure to the surface of the Stone, and
this, after it has been linked and printed
from, renders each proof then taken Of
equal excellence. And the point Of it all
is this. that until the stone is linked and
a print taken the artists work IS rot
complete; so that every print docs really
become genuine original - M. Il

the story of that war yesterday to hum
dreds of attentive listeners IN the
breezy pavilion at Ocean pier.
The general arrived in Brunswick
in the morning, and was met by the
Rit1emen and the veterans committee.
At the depot, in response to calls, the
general made feeling address to the
military. He breakfasted at the Ogle-
thorpe and left for st. Simon on the
first boat.
In the pavilion, at p. M, crowd
Of 500 people had assembled, while
pressing against the ropes on the out
side were about 500 others, who didn't
pay the admittance fee, but attempted
to hear the lecture as best they could.
When General Gordon entered the
pavilion, accompanied by the veterans
committee, Motifs band struck up
''Dlxie" and resounding cheer went
up that seemed loud enough to raise
the roof. Rev. Ed. F. Cook began the
exercises with beautiful prayer.
Gen, Floyd King introduced the dis
tinguished lecturer as a hero whom
he could not describe with words.
When the orator rose, the great cheer
was repeated with even greater gusto.
"The Last Days of the Confeder-
acy," as the general said in beginning,
is not story of the great epochal
events of the war, but a series of
sketches which show the actual condi-
tions existing during the great strug-
gle. In it General Gordon manifests
the graceful movement of charming
narrative and the power of inspired
oratOry. At one moment the nearer
laughs, the next he weeps; again he
feels moved to the highest of noble
deeds. Such was the scope of the
speaker and the speech.
General Gordon is a great orator.
The years have scarcely dlmmed the
force of his splendid talents, and he
wrought his audience to such pitch
of feeling that, at times, it could not
be restrained and burst forth in IN
voluntary ejaculation.
General Gordon was obliged to leave
on the s 10 train, and he was brought
to the city on the Egmont, which
made special landing for him at
Ocean pier. This early departure de-
prived General Gordon of the pleasure
of reviewing the troops.

At Florence, Frightened Negroes
Are Fleeing for
Safety.
CAUSE OF TROUBLE CAUGHT.
He Assaulted a White Woman, and the
Whites Will Lynch
Him.

Florence, Ala, July 21.-An upris-
ing against negro workmen on the
government works at Riverton, Ala,
last night caused a small race war at
that place, and today thore negroes
who can get away are leaving. The
trouble is not yet over.
Yesterday evening negro attempted
criminal assault upon Mrs. s. L..
Vaughn. Mrs. Vaughn escaped from
him as the negro, in pursuing her, fell
over chair. The neighborhood was
aroused and chase was given to the
negro. He escaped to the woods. The
Negroes fiendish attempt and the inso-
lence Of other negroes, several hun
dred in number, 1ncensed the white
workmen, and they determined to run
them out of town.
There were several fights between
the negroes and whites, and one white
man was seriously gut. The excite
ment was intense, and many negroes
would have been killed had not the
counsel of cooler heads prevailed.
The negro who caused the riot yes
terday was captured this morning. He
has been identified by Mrs. Vaughn,
and proves to be the same negro who
cut the white man last night. There
will be lynching before daylight.
RIverton people are sending to the
neighboring towns for men, guns and
ammunition. The most serious trouble
is feared. Many negroes are leaving
the town, but others are sullen and
defiant. AS the morning passenger
train passed Riverton junction loo
panic-stricken negroes boarded it,
many without cent. They were
allowed to ride to the next station.

SERIOUS RIOT IN SPAIN.
Free Fight Ends Liberal Leaders Banquet
at Saragossa.

-" NUAU6NSDU'
Madrid. July 21.-There have been
serious outbreaks and riots at BARGE
Iona and the gendarmes we're stoned
by mob. The government has sent
large achievements to restore order.
Senior Moret y Prendergast's speech
at Saragossa on the Cuban question
and in Remuneration of the policy of
the government has made a great SEN
sation. L'Epoca says:
"The frightful picture of Cuba
painted by the liberal leader at Sara
gossa can only be compared to the in
fiammatory utterances of the worst
enc mics of Spain. We believe that his
insinuations against the throne must
permanently keep the liberal party
out of power, owing to the increased
strength which such utterances give
the monarchlsts in the eyes of the
public"
At the banquet given last evening
at Saragossa, In honor of Senior Moret
y Prendergast, liberal leader and for
mer minister, Count RomaDones made
violent attack upon the Spanish
minister beyond the seas, referring
evidently to Senior Dupuy de LONE.
The representative of the government
who was present interposed and re-
piled to the counts remarks, and a
free fight ensued. The governments
representative drew revolver and,
finally, the entire company was elected
from the hall where the banquet was
given, after which they formed in
groups and paraded the streets, shout
ing, "Long live liberty"

In Two Mile Race, Reserves
Prove Superior to the Will
mlngton's Men.
GREATEST OF DAYS At ST. Simon YESTERDAY
General John Gordon Delivers His Famous The Last
Camp Roosevelt Brunswick Defeated the Savannah
Crew Too Unprecedented Crowds.

The Brunswick Naval Reserves won
iaurels yesterday. To two boat races
their crew came out victorious. Not
Only did the Brunswick oarsmen de-
feat the Reserves of Savannah, but,
greater credit still, they, in the after
noon. proved better oarsmen than the
old and experienced tars of the gun
boat Wilmington, who are at the oars
365 days in the year.
The first race occurred at a. m.
Two crews of ten men each were
chosen from the Brunswick and Sa-
vannah divisions. The boats used
were two ten-oared cutters from the
Wilmington. The boats were exact
cOunterparts of each other in size and
shape. Brunswick's crew was as fol-
lows: Gowan. coxswain; Arthur
Gregertsen, stroke; George Cook; j.
r. Knlbb, Eustace Butts, Nils Greg
ertsen, Ted Mccullough, Charles
Doertlinger, John Mccullough, Quzie
Fleming, Will Anderson. Savannah
had her best boat men. The launch
of the Wilmington towed the two
crews to the line, opposite the Will
mington, and the start was made.
Lieut.. Bertolette, of the Wilmington,
was starter and judge. The race was
even for the first mile, but the Bruins
wick boat forged slowly ahead, and
finished at the channel buoy five
lengths ahead of it's rival. The time
was 11K minutes on the two mile
course. The Savannahs gave three
cheers for the victors, as did also the
large crowd that watched the race
from the beach and pier.
At 4 p. IN. the second race was
started, the Wilmington's launch tow
ing the two boats to the start, which
was, owing to the turn of the tide, the
finish of the previous race, the channel
buoy. The Wilmington's crew was
made up of the gunboat's hardest sea-
men, her best oarsmen. Six tall. sim
envy fellows, accustomed to hours of
hard pulling" willis against them
were the first six OF the crew which de-
feated Savannah in the morning
GOwan, coxswain; Arthur Gregertsen,
stroke; George Cook, j. r. Knibb,
Eustace Butts, Nils Gregertsen, Ted
Mccullough. The Wilmington's
launch, with a number of the gun
boats officers aboard, kept alongside
Of their Grew all along the course,
coaching them to their best efforts.
The race was very close and exciting.
Near the finish the bow of the Bruins
wick boat was seen to move steadily
ahead of the rival Prov. Brunswick
won the race by nine seconds on two
mile course. Time, 10 minutes, AZ
seconds.
The Brunswick boys made the island
echo with their cheers last night. The
Wilmington's gracefully acknowl-
edged their defeat. When the Bruns-
wick crew landed they were carried
frem the pier to the pavilion on the
shoulders eff enthusiastic Reserves. 1t
was a great victory and the toast on
st. Simon last night was the Bruins
wick crew
