Atlanta, Ga, June 27.-Lightning
played havoc with the lives and prop
erty in Geogria Thursday. The daugh-
ter of the mayor of Powder Springs,
a popular resort in this state, Miss
Hattie Scott, was slain by a bolt, and
at the same place a powerful thresh-
ing machine was torn to pieces by the
fluid it's operators dangerously in
jured and the draft oxen killed.
At Carrollton, the center of the stock
raising industry in the state, Jas.
Downs, Jr,, and Samuel Connie, both
white, were struck and killed by light
ming, the bolt tearing their clothes
and discoloring their features. The
damage to property at this place was
immense.
At Miner, in the northern portion OF
this state, bolt struck on Mr.. j. A.
Farley's farm and killed Samuel Law
renee, a colored hand, badly burned
another and injured Mr.. Farley's son.
The storm which accompanied the
electrical display flooded all the water
ways and the loss to property from the
fires originating from lightning and
resulting from the floods will range
very high.
The lightning played curious freaks,
sometimes merely touching an old ruin
and again destroying some pretentious
planters residence. The damage in
the large towns was comparatively
light.

New York. June 27.-The taking o.
evidence for the defense in the trial
of the oGicers of the American Tobac-
CO company, indicted on charge of
conspiracy in restraint of trade, was
begun in the court of general sessions
before Judge Fitzgerald yesterday
The first witness was President j. H.
Blackman, who said he had been a
manufacturer of snuff for about six
years. Mr. Fuller asked the witness
as to the manner in which general
merchandise was consigned to buyers,
but District Attorney Olcott objected
on the ground that the consignment
agreement of defendants was not the
regular form of agreement. The court
sustained the objection. Mr.. Black
man said he had done business as a
grocer with the American Tobacco
company until the consignment agree
ment, but he was not permitted to say
whether the plan was beneficial or in
furious to him. In reply to a juror,
witness said he had bought goods from
the American Sugar company, to be
paid in seven days time the goods to
be sold at a certain figure.
Victor Morawitz of the law firm of
Seward, Guthrie & Dacosta, was then
called, but as his testimony was cumu-
lative on the same line as Mr. Black
mans, he was excused Mr.. Fuller
then offered in evidence all the con-
veyances of property of the concerns
forming the American Tobacco COM
pany, and the papers were admitted
in evidence.
Mr.. Choate then announced that the
defense had closed its case. On mo-
ton of District Attorney Olcott, Judge
Fitzgerald ordered an adjournment
until Monday morning.

Washington, June 27.-Trouble has
broken out afresh at Fort Gibson, 1.

ment has just been resumed, and the
Washington authorities have been APP
pealed to for assistance in averting fur
Their disorders.
Gen. Frank c. Armstrong, of the
Dawes commission, now at Fort Glib
son, joined with Indian Inspector Nc
Laughlin, who is supervising the pay
ment, in wiring the following to secre-
tary Bliss:
considerable excitement exists
among the negroes on account of ar
rests made by the United States mar
shals. The negroes are armed and are
threatening to attack the marshals.
The troops are able to cope with the
situation and preserve peace. If the
commander has not authority to patrol
the town and to exercise control over
the excited negroes serious trouble
may occur. The presence and action
of the military yesterday evening
alone prevented bloodshed The pay
ment has progressed quietly, but these
disturbances are outside the lines and
are between the negroes and the dep
uty marshals. Prompt and decided ac-
ton is recommended, with authority
to remove disorderly persons and dis
arm all except United States officials"

H. A. Huston, state chemist of In
LLAMA, in a report says: The estimated
sales of commercial fertilizers in In
diana during 1896 amounted to $4,000
ions. This is an apparent decrease of
1000 tons from the estimated sales in
1895. The decrease Is, l believe, only
apparent, for it now seems probable
that the estimate for 1895 was too
nigh owing to a considerable number
Of tags being carried over which were
really used in 1896, although they ap-
pear in the 1895 sales. 1t is probable
that an estimate of $4,000 tons in 1895
and $4,000 tons in 1896 would more
yearly express the real facts. In the
$4,000 tons for which tags were
issued we're 1O7OO tons of bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products; 21,S0O tons of com
plete" fertilizer, that is, acidu-
lated goods containing phosphoric acid,
nitrogen and potash; $500 tons of am
nominated phosphates, LOO tons of acid
phosphate and potash, and 4,400 tons
of plain acid phosphate. OF the bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products 400 tons had received an adj
dition of potash. Comparing the sales
IL. each group with the sales of the
previous year, we find that there has
been an increase of $500 tons in sales
Of complete" fertilizer, an increase
of 1000 tons in the sales of plain acid
phosphate, a decrease of 500 tons in the
sales of ammoniated phosphate, de-
crease of 100 tons of acid phosphate
and potash, and decrease of 1890
tons in the sales of bone and acidulated
packing house products.

The Providence Journal says: The
fiction that most Bostonians are de-
Bcendants of the men and women who
"came over in the Mayflower" has not
yet been exploded, as recent comments
indicate. AS a matter of fact, the old
Boston families were not of the May
flower party. Most of them came from
Suffolk with Winthrop, and settled,
first at Salem, then at Boston, eight
and ten years after the Plymouth col
ony had been founded. Yet the May
flower legend is still vigorous, like
some other legends that pass as his
tory.
