Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. THE boys Of
Battery B, Georgia Artillery, have again
been led to believe they will soon receive
their guns Notice was received at the
camp this morning that the guns had been
shipped on the 5ih instant, and would
probably reach here in the next three or
four days. This was good news, but the
officers say that they win not expect the
pieces until they are received az the camp.
Lieut.. Palmer states that he is of the
opinion that 1t is tie same old joke, as it
was reported once before that the guns
had been shipped on July 16, and so far
they have failed to put in an appearance.
The officers of the battery are arranging
to take camp life easy in the proper man
ner. They are having a kitchen and bath
house erected which will be a great add
ton to their already comfortable quar-
ters The kitchen for the battery Will be
erected as soon as the work on the officers

Disaster Has Occurred.

Captain of a Mail Steamer Confident
Disaster Has Occurred.
st. Johns, N. F.. Aug. Capt. Major
of the mail steamer Virginia Lake, from
Labrador, which arrived to-day, expresses
the belief that some ship certainly has
been sunk in the straits of Belle Isle.
Reports to that effect, he said, are cur
rent along the whole northern coast Of
the island, besides which a quantity of
deals, cheese boxes and other .wreckage
have drjfted ashore at Flowers Cove, near
the scene of the reported disaster.
Capt. Major is surprised that more
wrecks are not reported, because the fog
in that region has been the heaviest known
in thirty years. continuing fourteen days,
during which time not sight of the sun
has been obtained
on Saturday, July 80, a large Allen Line
steamer, with 500 passengers aboard, was
almost ashore at Battle Harbor, and on
Tuesday last two other liners were in
great danger off Chateau.
The steamer Ipsden is a total wreck at
Port Amour owing to the same cause.
Capt. Major expects further news re-
garding the reported disaster when the
steamer Leopard, from North Labrador
due on Tuesday, shall arrive.

REPUBLICANS OF FLORIDA.
Outlook for the State Convention at
OcaIa.

Outlook for the State Convention at
OcaIa.
Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. Pursuant to
a resolution adopted by the Florida state
Republican central committee at a meet
ing in Tallahassee on June IS, a call has
been issued by John z. Stillman chair
man, for a Republican state convention
to meet in Ocala at noon Tuesday, the
9Th inst, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for state treasurer, two jus
tees of the Supreme Court, and three rail-
road commissioners, and 10 transact such
other business as may come before the
convention.
The full roll Of the convention will con-
sist of III delegates apporuoned among
the forty-fiVe counties of the state. A
prominent federal official and party lead
er of this city is authority for the state
ment that nearly all Of the delegates viii
be in attendance, and that the absentees
will be represented by proxies A large
and enthusiastic assenbIage is expected
TO be present when Chairman Stilman
raps for order.
The convention is expected to be a lively
and interesting one. There will be several
cOntesting delegations from West Florida
in which portion Of the state a vigorous
fractional fight is being waged between the
administration wing, which adheres to the
leadership of Judge Long of st. Angus
tine national committeeman for Florida
and the Eaganites led by Dennis EaRan
postmaster at Jacksonville and the Gun
byites, followers of e. r. Gunby, the 1895
candidate for Governor The Long fac
ton Will probably be in a considerable ma
jority in the convention, and hence will
name the candidates and control the ac-
ton of the body.
Speculation as to who the nominees for
state Offices will be would be idle if in
dulged in, because, as a matter Of fact
the leaders of the party do not themselves
know yet. If any states have been made
up, they are being kept very secret, and
are subject 10 change, even after the con-
vention meets. The most definite state
ment that can be made before the conven-
ton meets is that a fun ticket will Ger
tainly be placed in the field and the party
managers seem determined TO make a Wig
orous fight from now until election day.
The usual resolutions viii be adopted /;
the national administration win be
praised; the st. Louis platform of 1896 in
dorsed; the valor of American soldiers and
sailors lauded, and, perhaps a few MINOR
matters mentioned.

one in camp and the soldiers have had

Errors They Sometimes Make ArA

During the recent book sale in thi.

were many calls for Henryx Sienkie-
wicz's "Quo Vadis." One girl appeared
with a card bearing this: "Qwadiz," by
"Stinkwitz." Another reader asked for
Two Waders," by "Sinkers," while
third demanded THAT book by the man
whose name ends in Itch"
while the sale was going on wom-
an asked cash girl:
"Can you find David Copperfield?'"
"1'll sce," said the girl, and disap-
peared. She presently returned and
said:
mo, mum. He don't work here no
more"
Another customer at the sale was n
woman who drove up in her carriage.
She explained to the clerk that she had
just moved into her own house.
THE library" she said, "is one by
twenty and the shelves run around the
whole shootin' match" She looked at
the stock of books and sweeping her
hand over lot of shelving containing
about 1,5O0 volumes, she said: Send
those books up" AS the assortment
contained broken sets, odd volumes,
duplicates and paper covered novels,
her library" will be a motley collec-
ton.
