Death Of Major John G.. Courtney

Atlanta, Ga, July 13.-Major John
Calhoun Courtney, a confederate vet
eran, president of the Virginia Society
of Atlanta, secretary OF the Capital
City Club, and manager Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, died at his
home in this city tonight at the age
of IS years.
Major Courtney was a native of Vir-
ginia. Early in life he entered the
field Of telegraphy and during the civil
war was closely associated with Cen
erals Lee, Beauregard and Johnston in
establishing communication between
the confederate armies and headquar-
tiers. He delivered to General Beaure-
gard the first Jews Of General Lees
surrender and also bore to President
Jefferson Davis the dispatch from Gen.
eral Breckenridge announcing the as
s~assination of President Lincoln. Sub
seQuently he was taken to Washington
to corroborate this dispatch before the
court-martial engaged in the trial of
the assassin Booth.

RALEIGH INSANE ASYLUM
Ready to Receive All Proper Cases.
Five Recruits for the twenty .Sev.
enth tkeyfment-Site for fsald Head
Light House
Messenger Bpreau,
Raleigh. N. c.. July Ii.

Raleigh, N. c., July Is.
The cold storage plant at the insane
asylum here is nearly ready for use.
The superintendent says that all pa
tients fit for admission are now being
received. This does not include cpl
leptics. A few days ago a boy of Ia
years was sent ito the asylum, who
proves to be not insane. It is found hat
heavy doses of quinine during a recent
sickness had affected him, and that his
parents had sent him to the asylum ito
get Well, on the ground that it was
cheaper than a physician.
Thus far five recruits have been sent
from here to the TWenty-Seventh regi-
ment. Nearly all who enlist prefer the
regular enlistment for three years.
The United States district attorney
has gone to Southport to look into the
title to the new site for a light house
at Bald Head.
Much regret is expressed here at the
death of DR.. William r. Wood, of Scot
land Neck, who was for several years
the able superintendent of the insane
asylum at Raleigh. News also comes
of h death of ex-Judge M. L. Nc
Corkle, for many years so prominent a
figure in politics, in the legislature, in
conventions and also on the bench.
Superintendent w. J.. Ellie, of the
national cemetery here, is transferred to
Salisbury and James H. Smith sue
ceeds him. The latter is the father Of
the commissary general of this state.
Inmates of the soldiers home here
cannot in future draw pensions.

reduction in the quantity Of wheat ex-
ported.
Corn shows a considerable reduction
in quantity Of exports, the number of
bushels for 1899 being about $4,000. 900
below that of 1898, when our corn ex-
ports were abnormally large because OF
the shortage in other breadstuffs
abroad.
There has also been a reduction OF
about $50, 600, 900 in value of the exports
OF cotton, also due largely to the re-
duction in price, the average price per
pound of cotton exported in 1898 being
5.98 cents and in 1899 5.55 cents. The
decrease in value OF exports Of bread
stuffs and cotton Is thus nearly made
up by the increased exports of manu-
featured articles, which seem likely to
amount to 1886, 00O, 900 in h fiscal year
1899, as against $500, 697, 1854 in 1898, an
increase Of about $45, 600, 900.
ARMY ENLISTMENTS.
There have been enlisted in the vol
unteer regiments 791 men. AS the re
cruiting has all been done at the regu-
lar stations the result is considered very
good at the war department
SEED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN
TEXAS.
Representative Hawley, of Texas,
who is here in the interest of the Tex
an flood sufferers, has arranged with
the agricultural department for the
distrib utiOn of seed TO the sufferers i'll
the Brazos valley. Owing to the ex-
tensive devastation the seed will be
sent to the postoffices near the desolat-
ed region for distribution by the post
masters. Representative Hawley says
the war department has responded gen.
erously with tents and rations and has
done all in its power to relieve the dis
treSS.
OTIS WANTS MORE HORSES.
A dispatch has been received from
General Otis, requesting that there b
sent to the Philippines $500 horses, in
order that a brigade of cavalry may
be organized for use at the end of the
| rainy season. General Otis has tried
the horses of Manila and nearby coun-
tries, but none of them seem to be avail
able for cavalry. 1t is the intention OF
Secretary Alger to have h mounts
carefully selected and he thinks that
animals from the southern states, not
too heavy, but tough and wiry, will be
the best.

Alliance Between Baltimore and Ohio
and ~SeabOard

New York, July 13.-It was reported
in Wall street today that an alliance
between the Seaboard Air Line and
the Baltimore and Ohio is probable
in the near future. 1t is stated that
John Skeleton Williams, who is at the
head of the syndicate which is working
to consolidate the Seaboard Air Line,
the Georgia and Alabama, and the
Florida Central and Peninsular, is much
interested in the proposed alliance,
which could be brought about by the
construction of a few miles of connect
ing line. 1t is said that the Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac will carry
the new system from Richmond to its
northern connection and that the plans
contemplate through trains from New
York to Tampa and other Florida
points by January 1, 1900.
