Governor Johnston had no knowledge of the whereabouts of yann until last Mon day morning when, as he was returning on the train from Showdown, he was accosted by stranger of good appear ance and address who informed him he was Dr. J. H. Vann, and that he was en rount to Montgomery 10 see glim with reference to a requ,sition he understood the governor of Georgia had sent for his arrest. He explained to Governor John- ston that he lived in Henry county, Ala bama, and had, without any Knowledge that he was committing an orfensa against the state of Georgia, exploded just across the liver from Henry county, in Early county during a recent visit there.

MOBILE IS BEING GUARDED
QUARANTINE OFFICER AMERINE IS-
 SUES STRICT ORDERS.
Mississippi Is Being Closely watched-The Officers Working Out of Birmingham
 Have Sworn 10000 People.

State Quarantine Officer Amerfne has issued the following oruer:
 J. I. Mckinney, Superintendent, Mont
 gomery, Ala:
 ger business south of Flomaton on Mo- bile and Montgomery railway except the refugee train and special through passenger trains, both of which must be run entirely through the state, doors locked and windows down, while pass ing through stations, trains under guard and not stopping except for fuel and water, and this must be done out side of any town.
 The order will prevent the possibility of Mobilians going across country and boarding the Louisville train for other points in Alabama. The quarantine against Mobile is practically operative fifty miles north and it would be very hard for a refugee to run the gauntlet.
 The Georgia Pacific division of the Southern road receives no passengers from Mississippi. The Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham no longer runs a day train, and the night train carries no passengers from Mississippi.
 Since the quarantine regulations went into effect the officers running out of Birmingham have sworn 40.00O people.

CROP CONDITIONS.

Washlngton Sept. 21-The weather bureau, in its report of crop conditions for the week ended Sept 20, says:
 The week has been falvorable for rlpen- ing and securing crops, but in the cen- trai Mississippi and Ohio valleys Ten nessee and over portiors of the middle and soutaI Atlantic states it has been too dry for fallowing and seeding of fall grahn, The exceptionally warm weather of the first half of the month matured corn rapidly and has placed nearly the whole crop beyond injury from frost. Owing to the droughty conditions in some of the state. the grain particular 1y the late crop, did not fill and indica te some loss. Cutting has progressed rap idly under favorable conditions, and in the more important corn states will be practically completed by the end of Sep tember.
 Cotton has continued to open very rapidly and picking has been vigorously carried on. The reports indicate tha t much the greater part of the crop over the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt is now open and that the bulk of the crop will be secured by Oct. 15. In Texas ptckkg was interrupted over the greater part of the state during the early part of tho week by rains which damaged open cotton, but proved d beneficial to the late cotton and the top crop.
 The fruit crop has not sustained much damage from rains in Florida. The weather conditions on the Pacific coast have been favorable, rain i'm California being especially advantageous for curing raisins and dried fruits. In Oregon and Washington the damage by rains of the two previous weeks Is considered slight.

 Southern.

New York Sept. 21-The hearing in the case of the governor and attorney general of North Carolina against the Southern Railway company was con- cluded here today before Special Master Kerr Cragie, appointed by the United States district court to take testimony. The North Carolina officials seek to an- null the lease of the North Carolina rail- road to the Southern Railway company, which was executed before the repub- lna. The North Carolina railroad is controlled fey the state, and it is al- legged in leasing it to the Southern Rail- way the interests of the state were fraudulently sacrificed.
 Capt. Windekoop, president of the Chi cago, St Louis and Peoria Railway com pany, formerly receiver of the Richmond and Danville railroad, which was suc- ceeded by the Southern railroad, and E. Francis Hyde, second vice-presiden en't of the Central Trust company, holders of the mortgages, testified today as to the value of the lease. Both declared that they knew of no fraud in connec- ton With the lease.
 Testimony will be heard in Baltimore tomorrow.
 J. Pie.pont Morgan was subpoenaed as a witness yesterday. It was said that he was in control of the Southern rail- road. Mr. Morgan was excused on the statement that he knew no details re- garding the lease of the North Carolina railroad.
