Smoke Issuing from tho Ground.
Considerable excitement prevails

in the neighborhood of Sandy Bottom,
Ga., over what is reported to be vol
cano. The farmer on whose place the
eruption is in progress, has set q force
of hands at work digging around the
spot with view of ascertaining the
causes of the strange appearance. The
crater is about 25 feet square, and in
Eve places blue smoke can be seen IL.
suing from the ground. The ground
about the crater has sunk about 10
inches below the level. 1t is said to
be sinking gradually and the crater
is growing larger. Some OF the re-.
ports come from thoroughly reliable
sourcs, and that there is some cauke
for them is evident. As to the nature
of the disturbances. it is impossible to
state positively. Many people have
visited the spot and it is said the open
ings have frequently been sounded to
the depth OF 10 feet. The inside is
reputed to be like led OF ashes and
the smoke is blue. The negroes in
that quarter are very superstitions
over it and some believe judgment
day is at hand. Frequent rains have
failed to extinguish the subterranean
fires. The volume of smoke coming
up from the ground is reputed to be
increasing daily.

The Ohio Campaign.

The approaching campaign in Ohio
bids fair to rival in dramatic interest
the presidential campaign of 1896: and
for the next few months The eyes OF the
country will be riveted upon the Buck
eye State. The Republicans are very
much alarmed over the situation.
They realize that, if the State goes
Democratic this fall, the effect of such
change will be seriously felt not
only upon the present administration,
but also upon the political status OF the
country at large. In order to prevent
this spprehended revulsion of senti
ment it is given out on good authority
that the sum of 81, 100000 will be ex-
pended by the Ohio Republicans on
the State campaign this year. Sena.
tor Mark Hanna is virtually in COM
mand of the forces. and since the re-
tention OF his seat in the United States
Senate depends upon the character OF
the legislature to be elected this fall,
it is likely that he will manage the
campaign with consummate shrewd-
ness. The opening gun will be fired
about the 1st of September, and from
that time on the State will be literally
overrun with campaign orators. In
spite of the vigorous effort which the
Republican party is making to retain
possession of the State, there is good
reason to believe that Ohio will at
least greatly reduce her Republican
majority, and it may elect a Demo
cratic governor ano State legislature.
Stranger things have happened.

Piracy on the High Seas,

Information has just been received
to the effect that the Italian bark
Fiducia, Captain Razeto, from Pasca-
gcula, on June 4, for Marseilles, was
spoken on August 16 in lat. 36.04 and
reported having been boarded on Au.
gust Is, abreas! of Cape Baba by four.

ransacked the vessel, stole the papers,
charts. instruments, provisions and
the clothing of the crew. cut the run.
ming gear and carried off the captain,
boatswain aud a seaman. The Fiducia
was supplied with provisions and in.
struments by passing vessel and was
thus enabled TO proceed.

Dsath Rate Among Negroes.

The publication of the mortuary
statistics for the past month OF mum
Der of the leading towns OF North
Carolina reveals a remarkable death
rate among negroes, as compared with
the whites. In Raleigh, Tor instance,
where there are l, 600 more whites than
blacks, during the month of July
there were two and a half times as
many deaths of negroes as OF whites
In WILMINGTON, where there is only a
small excess of black population, there
were fourteen deaths of whites and
of negroes thirty eight, or nearly
three to one. In Winston, where
there are considerably more whites
than negroes, the negroes dying num-
pered more than two to one. the ratio
according to race population being
much greater. Other towns show a
a like record. The unusual mortality
among negroes is not due to any epi-
demic disease, and certainly is net
due to exposure, or lack of nonrish
ment, as has in some few isolated lc-
stances been the case in winter.

Counterfeit Bonds.

There were presented to the treasury
department Tuesday for redemption
two 81, 900 z 80 notes of the issue OF
June 15, 1865. The persons making
the presentation were business firms
of Louisville, KY. Upon examination
the notes were found to be counter
feits, being a part of very large is
sue of counterfeit notes which ap
peared in the principal bond markets
in 1865 and 1867. The imitation OF
the genuine is so complete that many
of the principal dealers in United
States securities purchased them free.
ly and only discovered that they had
been victimized when the notes were
thrown out by the authorities at
Washington. The loss to bankers and
dealers through this counterfeit
amounted probably to several hun
dred thousand dollars. The only
marked difference between the origi-
nal and the counterfeit is found in the
red seal, the points surrounding the
seal in the genuine being broader,
more clearly defined and not so long.
There is also slight difference in the
signature of Gen. Spinner, who was
the treasurer of the United States at
the time of the issue of the original
notes. In the genuine there is also a
sn all spot just below the bar between
the baskets of the balance which the
figure America holds suspended. At
the secret service Office it is said that
the s.ate from which these notes
were printed was captured November
81, 1867, from William E Brockway,
who is now serving a term OF 10 years
in the Trenton, N. j., penitentiary fer
counterfeiting $500 gold certificates.

AN ECCENTRIC OLD MAN.
H. Went TO New York Loaded With
| Weslth.

A man who said he was Thomas
Hussey, S6 years of age. Of Montgom-
cry, Ala entered the American Ex.
change National bank in New York
Wednesday afternoon to deposit some
bonds. He was very feeble, and with
trembling hands searched through his
leather wallet and his pockets for
some coupons. He could not find
them, and the bank could not do
business with the old man. He was
sitting on the step on the bank en-
trance when policeman of the Broad
way squad saw him. The officer no
ticed that the old man was tired out,
so he questioned him, and finally
took him to the Old Slip stationhouse,
where the sergent ordered the officer
to search him. The wallet disclosed
$?73 in money, return ticket to
Montgomery, Ala, check on Drexel
& Co., Philadelphia, for $11, 900 and
an envelope containing 4S coupons
clipped from some bonds which were
found in the old mans tall boots.
There were eleven $1,000 bonds of
the city of Savannah, four Sl00 bonds
Of the same apd certificate for Gre
hundred shares of New York Central
Railroad stock. The officer took Mr..
Hussey to the Central station police
court, where the old man told Magis
trate Cornell that he arrived in New
York last night and had stopped in a
boarding house in Water street. He
could not remember ths number. He
said he had relative in Brooklyn,
named Mitchell. There was no charge
to he made against Mr.. Hussey, so the
magistrate ordered the policeman to
take him to police headquarters. where
steps could be taken to find his rela.
tives.
A dispatch from Montgomery says
Mr.. Husssey is one of the Oldest citi-
zens of Montgomery, having lived
there half century. he owns valu'
able real estate throughout the State
| it was not known he had so
much personal property. He has
always been regarded as miser-
ly and dressed rather poorly. He
is shoemaker by trade, but gave
up work many years ago. He is an
old bachelor and lives alone. he
stands we'll in the community and is
respected for his correct dealings in
business.

STICKS TO FREE SILVER.
Senator Stewart Denies a Bep ,rt About
Himself.

United States Senator William M.
Stewart, of Nevada, telegraphs the
Constitution that the statement attrib-
uted him in newspaper dispatches,
that he had advised his friends in the
west to drop the silver issue on the
ground OF the return of prosperity or
on any other ground, ''is absolutely
and unqualiiedly false"
''The fact that there ara abundant
crops in this country and famine else
where, which gives temporary relief,
is no reason why we should not seek
permanent relief by ths only possible
means in our power, which is the re-
monetization OF silver" says Mr..
Stewart. THE efforts Of the gold
press to make the country believe that
| the gold standard has raised the price
of wheat, and not short crops, in
every country, is in keeping with
their false statements with regard to
my position. The low price of silver
produced by excluding it from the
mints, and particularly the recent de.
cline produced by characterization in
Japan, marks the rise in gold and
shows the robbery and injustice Of
confning the money OF the world to
the commodity gold. When they
point 10 cheap silver as the result OF
their conspiracy we point to dear gold
as the result of their rascality. The
people will not believe that the gold
ties control the seasons and give the
| United States good crops and cause
famine elsewhere. They know it is
the work of Providence, and over
which the goldites have no control.
Their impudence in demanding credit
for it is in keeping with their entire
system of deception by which they are
ems laving the human race.
NOW is the time 10 fight for silver.
The temporary relief which Provi
dence has granted should inspire
the manhood of the Amerl
can people to vote their sentiments at
the ballot box 1t removes some OF
the excuses of poverty and starvation
which voters made in 1896, when they
submitted to intimidation or yielded
to bribery and voted for their own
enslayement. The only danger is
that the small measure of relis which
the rise of wheat has given will not
be sufficient to free the voters OF the
United States from coercion and brib.
cry, but it ought 10 aid the cause OF
silver by restoring to some extent The
independence Of the voters.
"My CORRESPONDENCE with u Opie IN
every section of the country is very
extensive, and it informs me that the
people are thoroughly alive and the
Importance of the silver question is
gaining every day. The rise in the
than retsrd the irresistible movement
in favor of returning to the coinage
law of the better days of the republic.
