The Chronicle Relief Fund.

The unbleached domestic and
stockings purchased by the CHRoN-
IcLE for wards 3 and 4 were this
week turned over to Messrs. o. G..
Watson and G. j. Hutchinson for
distribution.
After consultation with Mr.. G..
W. KEGS, committeeman for ward
2, and Clerk Shackelford, on be-
half of the parish distributing COM
mittee, it has been decided that the
As pairs of stockings and log yards
of cloth, which we apportioned to
ward 2, should be applied in the
western portion of the parish, in
wards l, 6 and Z. The reason for
this is that ward q has had little
advantage in the apportionment
already made, and this will in some
measure equalize the distribution.
Our apportionment for ward Z is
therefore increased from IS to 60
pairs of stockings, and the quantity
of cloth is increased from 100 to
It's yards, which will be sent to
Montgomery by next boat.
The apportionment for ward one
is increased from IL to % pairs of
stockings, and the cloth from 36 to
SO yards. The increase in ward
six is from Is to IS pairs of stock
ings, and the cloth is raised from
70 to 100 yards.
The "a yards Of cloth and 30
pairs of stockings for ward 5 have
been turned over to Mr.. q. J..
Hutchinson, and the committee in
ward 5 can obtain the same by call
ing on Mr.. Hutchinson at Black
Greek.

4 Niad Infatuation Leads n Mother to
Sacrifice Her Children.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug 15--As collateral
three little Langdon children to the house
of their mothers negro cook at Conyers,
mentioned in these dispatches last night,
George Newhauss, a dapper looking indi-
vidual. claiming to be a retired actor,
with no present visible means of support,
was hustled out of his bed at O'Clock
this morning, and is now the occupant
of a cell at police headquarters.
The charges against Newhauss are
somewhat vague, but from the statement
of the police officers who made the ar
rest, after having hunted the man all
night, 1t appears that the ex-actor will
find explanation difficult when he is ar
raigned in police court tomorrow. He
seems to have been playing the heavy
villain in the Langdon household at 54
Forsyth street, and as such was responsi-
BILE for sending away the three little girls
whose surroundings caused the good people
of Conyers to rise up in their Indignation
and take them out of the nest of negroes
to which they had been consigned. From
the information upon which the police
acted in arresting Newhauss, it seems that
is a very attractive looking woman, have
become mutually infatuated. They occu-
pied adjoining rooms in the house, and
their conduct had already caused COM
ment before the children Rare ship
ped away.
The police say that the children, who
bear sad evidence Of maternal neglect,
since the appearance of Newhauss upon
the scene, were in the way, and the eX-
comedian prevailed upon the infatuated
mother to send them away to live with
the Conyers negroes while he assumed full
sway at home.
Newhauss refuses to talk about his ar
rest. He came here nine months ago from
New York, and has been living at the
Langdon house for the greater part of
that time, apparently a gentleman of lei
sure and a devotee of pleasure.
The police expect that Judge Calhoun
will order him TO walk the plank to-mor-
row or go to the gang" as a precaution
against further interference in the Lang
don household.

Statistician Neil Says We Are Going
to Have n 10000 900 Bale Crop.
New Orleans, La. Aug. 15.-Mr. H. NJ.
Neil, the well known cotton statisti-
clan, has issued a circular on the growing
crop.
After referring to the corrections
Of his estimate made in July. 1894,
of the crop of the season, Mr.
Mcneil says: ''At this moment for this
year the promise is equal to any previous
year in every state but Texas, and on the
present acreage, even allowing that Texas
should fall short of her maximum produc-
ton per acre by 100000, the outlook now
is for crop of at least $3.50 900, with 500,
600 to 100000 more within the range OF
possibilities.
This figure of 9.750,OOO is really very con-
servatve, for a product per acre outside
of Texas equal to 1S94-95 would give T.
$4,000 bales and a maximum for Texas
would be 3,9j00O0 bales. from which, al
lowing 100000 off, you would have a
crop of 100000 bales.
The crop rs now so far advanced from
recent rains and heat that 1t will reach
maturity and be independent of frost at
an unusually early date. Should we soon
have good rains in Texas her crop also
would be near perfection, and the possi-
bilities for total crop would then be
something enormous

THE LADIES' KEATING BICYCLE.
with long or short skirt guards, superb
ladies' mount.
This is just the bicycle that the ladies'
want. It is FIVE to ten pounds lighter
than any other bicycle made weighing
just twenty pounds. actual weight on the
scales.
Weigh your ladies' wheels and see how
heavy they are. 1t will surprise YOU to
find out you are riding an ice wagon.
We will sell this Ladies' Heating wheel,
with bell and lantern, 1897 model, for s65
on time or with a liberal discount for
cash. Call and price them.
A lady who buys the 1897 Heating for
her mount is certainly a fortunate per-
son. Call and let US show you this splen-
did wheel, with new features and i'm
provements.
An Explanation.
The 500 Keating is precisely the same
model and material as the wheel we sell
at s65-the only difference is that they
have no double roller chain and have out
side reinforcements. Otherwise the Keat-
ing we sell at $65 is the same as the 800
Heating, and is really practically as good
as ANY BICYCLE at 500 in America.
