Welcomed at San Francisco.

San Francisco, May 24.-Great prep
arations are being made for the recep-

Richmond is being prepared for them
and the ladies of the Red Cross society
are working hard to give the fasteners
a greeting that they will never forget.
AS there are 602 men and SO officers in
the Quaker regiment, it will take humid
reds of willing hands many hours to
prepare the luncheon which always
awaits visiting soldiers on their arrival
in this city. The same may be said of
the preparations made for their recep-
ton at all California towns through
which their train passes.
Another battalion of Utah troops is
expected to arrive tomorrow morning.

Mrs. j. o. Atkinson Murdered by Par
ties i'm Ambush.
Augusta, Ga, oct ia special to the
Chronicle from Edgefeld. S. c., tonight
says that Mr.. John 0. Atkinson has given
the name of negro whom he suspects of
the murder of his wife. and hastily or
ganized posse is securing the country to
apprehend him.
Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson were driving to
Edgefeld from Augusta last night, where
they had spent the day. Just before they
reached home they were fired on by some
party in ambush. Two shots were fired
in rapid succession from the roadside and
il is supposed the assassin tried to kill
them BOTH for purposes of robbery, as
Atkinson had sold his cotton i'm Augusta
that day, ana il was presumed he had a
considerable sum of money with him. But
both shots struck Mrs. Atkinson, who was
instantly killed, ana when the assassin
saw Mr. Atkinson was unhurt he fed
and made his escape. The community
was deeply aroused and as soon as Mr.
Atkinson gave the name of a suspected
party, posse promptly started in search

COTTON RECEIPTS AT ALBANY.
Formers Agree the Crop VIII BE
About IL Per Cent short.

Formers Agree the Crop VIII be
About IL Per Cent short.
Albany, Ga, Oct. 19.-Estimates, based
on the comparative cotton receipts of the
Albany market for this and preceding sea-
sons, indicate that the crop of 1898 will not
be as large, so far as this section is con-
cerned, as was expected even up to few
weeks ago.
Albany receives more cotton by wagon
alone than perhaps any other market in
the state. While her railroad receipts do
not, of course, keep pace with those of the
larger cities, her purely local warehouse
receipts are large and unfailing. The
warehouses annually handle from $4,000 10
10000 bales. The two local congresses
handle a great deal of cotton that is, of
course, not figured in as a portion of this
markets receipts.
The wagon receipts up to and including
this date last year were 24.126 bales. This
year, the receipts to date have been 20
045 bales, or less by about II per cent.
than they were in 1897. This difference Is
not due to the fact that the crop Is later
in maturing, but TO the poor development
of the plant in all localities. Bad weather
has not interfered with the work of gath
ering the staple but conditions have, in
stead, been unusually favorable.
Experienced growers and buyers are al
most unanimous in agreeing that the crop
, of 1898 will be at least 10 per cent. shorter
than it was last year, and the difference
may be even greater.

CONSOLIDATED HIT HARD,
Atlanta Railway Company Given
Everything 1t wanted


Atlanta, Ga, Oct 19-The long and
hard-fought contest between the Atlanta
Railway Company and the Consolidated
Street Railway Company over certain
franchises for streets on the West Side
was ended this afternoon by the City
Council at a special meeting, deciding in
favor of the Atlanta Railway Company.
This act of Council is of far reaching i'm
portance. since it means that the Consol-
idated, which now has practically mo-
nopoly of the street car business will
have a most formidable competitor Incl
dentally, this probably means transfers
on the Consolidated.
The franchises recommended by the
Council committee on electric and other
railways was held up by the aldermanic
board. because of the fact that they did
not contain the condition that the Con-
solidated should grant transfers. A pro-
vision for transfers was contained in the
grant 70 the Atlanta Railway Company
and the aldermen thought a like conces-
sIon should be required of the Consoii-
dated.
The Atlanta Railway Company was
given everything it wanted, while the Con-
soiidated viii have a hard fight yet to get
half a loaf.
