Miser Dies in New York.

NEW York, Aug. 27.-Thomas Huzzey,
the aged citizen of Montgomery. Ala,
who was arrested last week in a dazed
condition with $4,000 in money and Sc
curities in his pockets, died to-day at the
home of his nephew in Brooklyn.
He was more than so years old.
Mr.. Huzzey was picked up by a police
man, sitting In front Of a Broad way bank.
The old man had gone into the bank to
make a deposit. but when he appeared at
the window OF the receiving teller he tum-
bled about in his pockets and seemed un-
able to find his money. He walked out,
dazed by the belief that he had lost all,
and was found by tho policeman, almost
stupetied.
He was taken to a police station and
there a search was made Of his per-
son. In his boots wore found more than
$50, 900 in bonds and checks, showing that
the old man had placed his wealth there
and had later forgotten the place OF con-
| cealment.
He was locked up in the Toombs prison
for the the night to protect his wealth, ou,
was taken away next day by relatives,
with whum be has since been stsving.
Mr.. Huzzey was a native Of England
and had resided In Alabama for many
years, engaged in shoemaking. He was

The Country Must Prosper.

WASHINGTON, August 27.-Assistant
Secretary Brigham, of the agricultural
department, to-day expressed the opinion
that the American farmers this year
would receive in the aggregate from four
to five hundred million dollars in excess
of that received last year for their farm
products. ,rhis, he said, means much to
the farmers. They have learned in the
season of hard times through which they
have passed to economic where they
could and to he careful in buying. They
will use the money they receive for their
crops to pay off their debts. cancel mort
cages, and in making improvements on
the farm. This seems like q vast sum,
but statistics sustain the claim.
Col. Brigham also predicted that the in
creased price of farm products would
benefit the laboring element.
The price of labor, he said, did not de-
cline with the price of farm products, and
for some time the farmer was forced to
paw as much for the services of those who
did his work us ever, while their receipts
were cut in two. The laboring man will
be benefited by this advance in prices.
The farmer will discharge his indebted
ness and make improvements. which re-
quire labor. He will purchase more OIL
the products of labor, putting a vast ~ %
of money i'll circulation, and this will
create @ demand for labor in all lines, and
men who have besn without employment
or only partially employed will work full
time at fair wages.

A Wartime Feud Settled.

GAINESVILLE. GA, Aug. 25-A reun-
ion OF Confederate veterans was held at
Lula Junction yesterday afternoon. Two
Of the old soldiers who attended 1t were
James S. Poole, of Gwynett County, and
William II. Cape, Of Toccoa. They had
not met each other for years, andit is very
unlikely that either would have attended
the reunion had he known the other was
coming.
During the wal they had q falling out
over a young woman and fought a duel
for her hand while the regiment was in
camp Zeal Chattanooga. Neither was Sc
riously wounded and neither got the
girl, but the difference between them
never WAS settled, and time. apparently,
did not heal their wounded feelings.
When they met yesterday they ignored
each other at first, but as the day passed
and the refreshments Of a liquid sort
we're generously dispensed, their old ha-
tired for each other famed mp and they
made warlike preparations early in the
afternoon. Finally they came together
and, after 8 few savage words, Cape pull
ed out a pistol and q knife and Poole a
knife. Seeing that Poole had no pistol,
Cape threw his away, and they attacked
each other with their long blades. Cape
plunged his knife into the neck of his an.
~tagonist, cutting through the collar bone
and severing the jugular vein. DEATH
followed almost Immediately. Cape was
arrested. The Coroner's jury returned
verdict of mauslaughter.

A Horror OF the flames.

TAMrA, Fla, August 29.-Marie, the
14-year-old daughter of Mrs. Frances
Valdez, of Port Tampa City, went to the
kitchen to start g fire this afternoon. She
poured on kerosene, and Instantly there
was a deafering explosion, followed by
the girls sgonizing death cries as she ran
from the room blazing mass. Mrs. VAL
dez at nice went to her daughters as
%sistance. While she vas attempting to
extinguish the flames her WI clothes
caught fire, and the W. ran screaming
from the house. Both were burned to q
crisp, especially about their faces. 1t was
impossible to recognize them. The house
caught FROM the flames and was soon a
mass of Gre. and q small boy was burned
in the house. Ills body has not yet been
recovered.
The fire spread rapidly &Dd five houses
owned by the Plant Investment Company
were burned, there being no fire protec-
ton. The department from Port Tampa
turned out, but could do no good, there
being no water on hand. Loss about ST.

aConf6ence, the foundation Of all COM
mereial prosperity, is being restored; it
can be seen and felt by all who are not
blinded by prejudice, and whose sensi-
bilities are not cslloused by ignorance
So spoke the President of the American
Bankers Association, at the, annual ses-
sion in Detroit recently. 1t is the uni
yersal verdict. Many explanations have
been made of the hard times through
which we have passed. The Republicans
charged them to the Wilson tariff act.
The silver DEMOCRATS charged them to
the striking down of the white metal.
The gold Democrats charged them to the
assault on gold payments. Tie Popu-
lists charged them to redemption mon.
sy. Many business men held that the
inevitable day Of settlement had come
around, and hence the stringency. But
no matter what brought the hard times,
we had them and had them bad. Now,
happily, they are passing, and the conn.
try is entering upon an era ofuuexampled
prosperity, unless all signs fail.

The election of McLsurin seems to be
conceded. Up to this time the total vote
reported is 3O,452, out of which McLaurin
got 2O,57s, Evans 6,6l5, Irby $3.50. The
chances are that the vote is the lightest
ever cast. Last year the vote ran up to
5000, and if it runs up to G5, 900 this year
it will be q surprise. Col. Irby and Gov.
Evans will run nip and tuck for last
place, and some think Irby will yet beat
Evans. No disturbances are reported
from any part OF the State. The vote in

Mr. Fayerweather's generosity was mo-
