Mccullough Bros. Fruit and Produce
Letter.

Atlanta. August 20.--All kinds OF fruit
and produce show signs of an up""Fu
tendency both as to price and demand.
Bananas are selling more readily, ana
the demand is much better with prices
some cheaper
as to price at importing points. and the
demand is fairly good at quoted prices
Apples are only being received IN
small way and the stock is very interior
and being sold at very low prices.
There are a few oranges in cold storage
that are being sold fairly well at reason
Pea9uts are somewhat sitter in price
and the demand is quite heavy.
Grapes are not so plentiful. as the Geor-
zrfa crop and that of the surrounding ter
titor, have been badly damaged by the
continued rains we have been having
Cabbage are coming in plentiful, the de-
mand being fair and the price low. VIZ
ginia is supplying the market at pres
irish potatoes are showing up much bet
ter as 10 quality and are being sold very
reasonable as to price. Demand Is very
heavy with heavy receipts. The outlook
is for no change within the next few days
sweet potatoes are selling SLOW at prices
quoted. The receipts are very light.

The Georgia peach crop Is over, every

tbe prices obtained for Il will be satiSfac-
tory and California seems TO be the only
source from which the handlers will be
able to draw their supply from

the receipts are sufficient to supply the
demand with the price stiff as quoted.

Over Forty Years.

AFTER A LINGERING ILLNESS HON.
J. Troup Taylor, journalizing clerk OF the
senate, died Friday afternoon at $40
o'clock at his late residence, 10 East Ellis
street. He was one of the best-known men
in the state. and popular as well an the
news of his death will be heard with regret
by those who knew him during the snany
years of his residence in Georgia.
At the time of his death Mr. Taylor was
iournalizing clerk of the senate. This po-

and Z portion Of the time for both, for
over forty-one years. He has always been
a prominent figure in Georgia politics. but
throughout his entire life he lived up to
the standard of integrity ne had set for

Dining Cars in ENGLAND.

Dining cars have existed in England
for nearly twenty years, but until quite
recently they have only been available
for first-class passengers, says the Bos-
ton Herald. -Four years ago dining
cars for third-class passengers also
were introduced between London and
Scotland, between which points the
traffic is almost entirely third-class.
One route from Scotland passes
through Leeds, consequently dining
cars between London and Leeds be-
ing available for third-class passengers
by this route, the other route was con-
strained to follow the example ON it's
local London and Leeds service. Nat
urauy Liverpool and Manchester COM
planned that similar accommodation
was not afforded to them. ThereupOn
the Midland Company, which carries
an unusually small percentage of first
class passengers, adopted a practice
Of allowing third-class passengers to use
the frst-class dining car without extra
charge. Theoretically, they were re-

Drinking Oysters.

1t may sound odd to speak Of drink
ing" oysters. One would assume their
opportunity to quench their thirst was
fairly good, but oysters must b. |
"drinked," drank or 'watered"-aa
oystermen say-before they are fit fors
market. The drinking" process is sim
ply a matter Of fattening, or. to be
more truthful, initiating.
When oysters are raised (taken.
from the beds TO the air. they are
dumped aboard of the sloops. and
when load is obtained the sloop sails
for some fresh water stream. At the
mouth of these streams are floats into,
which the oysters are dumped at full
tide. AS the tide ebbs. and the flesh
water from the stream gradually fresh
ems the water in the floats, the oyster
opens. He appears to be drinking. bu1
instead is simply allowing the fresh
water TO wash out the salt When this
IS completed the oyster closes. The
fresh water causes it 10 swell, some
times till the shell gapes open. Thus
the oyster becomes plump, aud WheI
opened looks fat and fit.

BODY SNATCHiNG.
A Vocation Once Profitable Is Recalled
by Recent Ghoulish Outrages.

"A fOCat1On OnCe Is heC01Ieu
by Recent Ghoulish Outrages.
Body snatching has again thrust it
self upon public notice through series
Of particularly atrocious offenses, one
at Dunning, near Chicago; another at
Millville, n. j., where n woman's grave
was desecrated and her body dragged
from the coffin and mutilated; and a
third at Londonderry, Ohio. In the
latter case the body Of Carlton Kelly
was taken from it's grave, doubled up
in trunk and shipped to Columbus,
dumped into the cellar of the Ohio
Medical college and re-embalmed,
doubled up into another trunk and left
on street corner. It was finally found
by the police and returned to its grave.
Twenty years ago grave robbing was
vocation profitable enough to keep a
considerable amount of talent en-
ployed. But the burying ground Gus
todians of to-day scarcely recall an in
stance of the kind within their expert
ence.
Body snatching is a lost art so far
as the large cemeteries are concerned"
said the assistant superintendent Of
Graceland cemetery in Chicago. Such
a thing would not be possible in a well
regulated burying ground of to-day.
Aside from other considerations, it
would be next to impossible to get a
body out of Graceland without being
detected in the act. The grounds are
patrolled through the night, and every
precautiOn is taken to prevent depreda-
tions of any kind. The memory Of the
oldest employe here probably does not
furnish a single instance of the kind"
Another cemetery superintendent
said: 'The body snatching business
ceased to be profitable when we began
to use the pine box to inclose the coffin
or casket. Before the introduction of
this outer box it was comparatively
easy for the grave robber to make a
narrow excavation at the head Of the
grave, lift the wooden lid over the glass
through which the face of the corpse
is seen, smash the glass, insert body
hook under the chin and jerk the body
out Of the grave. But now the whole
grave must be excavated and the lid
of the pine box unscrewed before the
coffin Is accessible. This takes so much
time and so increases the chances of
discovery that few care to engage in
the business for the money there is
in it.
Gas a matter of fact the commercial
value of a corpse is very slight now
adays. The physicians and schools can

READY FOR THE BATTLE.

The Democratic managers intend to
lnaugurate the Congressional cam
paign at an early day, says Senator
Jones, national commander of the al
lied forces of Democracy. While the Re
publicans are quarreling and fighting
among themselves over Cuba, the
money question and civil service re-
form, the Democrats are ready to make
a determined effort to capture the next
House. The reports received from all
parts of the country are of the most en-
couraging character.
According to these reports, the Dem
Ocrats are practically certain to gain
eight seats in Illinois, seven in Indi-
ana, five in Iowa, four in Kentucky,
five in Maryland, seven in Michigan,
four in Minnesota, twelve in New
York, six in Ohio. five in Pennsylvania
and two in West Virginia.
This makes a total gain of sixty
three and it is not expected that the
Republicans will gain more than four
seats, making the next Democratic
>tiii -AIIoitiiiS W
the next House would stand: Republi-
cans, III; opposition, 1856. 1t is not
doubted that the Populists and the sill
yer Republicans will act with the Dem
ocrats in the next Congress. In or
ganiZing the House the Democrats
would be allowed to name the three
principal officers and the chairmen of
oil the important committees, while one
of the House officers and number of
the less important chairmanships
would be given to the POpulists and Sill
yer Republicans.
$50 far as the State of Kentucky is
concerned" says Representative David
Highbaugh Smith, of HOdgensville.
Larue County, ''the Republicans have
had their day in court down there and
have shown themselves to be unworthy
of public confidence. The adminiStra-
ton of Governor Bradley is so diSas-
trOus a failure as to amount almost to
a disgrace. The men who have been
sent to Washington by the Kentucky
Republicans during their lease of
power have not made q favorable i'm

mOnwealth is back again in the Dem
Ocratic column, and there it is likely to
stay. At the next election for mem
bers of Congress the Democrats will
carry every district except the eleventh

will consists Of ten Democrats and one
Republican. Silver will be the battle
cry all along the line. The platform

get all the bodies they want at the nos
pitfalls and morgues. The only bodies
for which high price can be obtained
are those of persons dying in some
mysterious way or some rare disease.
For these physicians or others inter
ested are often willing to pay enough
to induce the body snatcher to take
long chances. Of course the body of
a person Of great wealth is always in
more or less danger, but their tombs
are usually made practically impenetra-
ble."
While there is little body snatching
now the evil that men do lives after
them, and work done by the body
snatchers Of a past generation often
comes to light when, through the
wishes of relatives or otherwise, it be-
comes necessary to transfer corpse
to another spot. Many an empty coffin
is found, and many are the artifices of
cemetery men to conceal from the rela-
tives the absence of the remains from
their resting place. The custodian Of
the dead will seek to convince the
friends of the long departed one that it
is better that they should not look upon
the corpse, that it is decayed beyond
recognition, and that the sight Of 1t
would be unpleasant to them.
If he succeeds, as he usually does, in
persuading them to forego the privilege
of another last look, he manages to get
enough sand and earth into the coffin
to give it the proper weight and thus
eludes suspicion. In other cases the
head Of the coffin is found to have been
smashed In and there are marks of the
ghastly body hook under the cain, but
the remains are intact, showing that
the robbers were interrupted at their
work or found that they had the wrong

THE SOLDIER ABR. AO.
The Private Is Seldom Seen I'm the
Main Streets of German Cities.

The Private Is Seldom Seen I'm the
Main Streets of German Cities.
The private soldier is seldom seen
in any of the leading thOrOughfares of
the streets Of the large German cities,
observed a recently returned military
gentleman, to a reporter, not, however.
because he would not like to be seen
there, but because it is quite job for
him should he show up in a crowded
street. In Europe it is different from
this country, for military officers have
to wear their uniforms constantly. In
deed, many of them have no other
clothing. In this country it is extreme
ly rare to see an officer in uniform,
and never unless he is going or return
ing from some function where the uni
form is necessary, and which. as I-say.
is very, very rare. There are in all of
the large cities and towns of Germany
hundreds and hundreds of officers. III
is an imperative duty of the sOldierTGf
formally salute every time one pa1se
even if the same officer passes hink Fl
or ten times in an hour. The priya
soldier generally takes side street, so
as to avoid meeting officers, for salut-
ing every five minutes in day, and
sometimes oftener, which would be the
case should he travel in the principal
streets, gets to be tiresOme after it
observed for three or four hours. TN
soldier is nearly always loyal. and
takes a pride in saluting his superiorY
officers, but there is often too much Of
good thing in military life. as there is,
in other walks of life. Even in the side
streets he has considerable saluting to
do, but nothing in comparison with
what he would have to do should he
venture ON the largely travelled streets.
The officers are very particular in in
sisting on salutes, and should soldier
attempt to pass them without doing
military honors, on the excuse that he
did not see the officer, the result woul3
be somewhat serious TO him.
