THE FREEZE IN GEORGIA.
Damage to Crops Will Foot Up in
the Millions.

ATLANTA, Feb. 24IThe first au-
thentic and official report on the dam
age throughout Georgia by the recent
cold wave shows that the loss to crops
in the State will amount to several
million dollars.
This report is contained in special
bulletin issued by Forecaster Marbury,
and is compiled from the reports OF
several hundred correspondents scat
tered throughout the State. Peaches
were nearly all killed in the lower
counties, but in the northern counties
there is reason to believe there will be
a medium crop. Apples have not SUI
fered to any great extent. Plums and
some varieties of pears have nearly all
been killed.
Stock suffered immensely, and in some
counties COWS and goats froze to DEATH
The recent cold spell, though very dis
astrous in many ways, will be of much
future benefit The freezing and thaW-
ing will improve the condition of the
soil, and kill out millions of insects in
furious to plant life.

unsatisfactory and unpalatable. He
tasted some of 1t, but it seemed to have
been boiled excessively and deprived of
it's substance. 1t seemd old, as though
canned a long time, and he and other
officers remarked informally about it..
Refrigerated beef was very satisfactory
Captain J. M. Arrasmith, Third In
fantry Major Commissary Department,
testified to the satisfaction which both
the refrigerated and canned roast beef
gave at Camp Thomas.
Captain Henry L. Ripley, Third Cav
airy, detailed the experiments with beef
at Tampa, in line with the testimony. of
Colonel Weston. Canned roast beef was
used en- route to Cuba and during the
siege. No complaints were heard, but, it
was almost tasteless, he said, usually
spoiled to the taste, and the men had
refused to eat it. Refrigerated beef
gave general satisfaction.
At the conclusion Of Captain Ripley's
testimony Colonel Davis announced
that no further witnesses were present,
but probably fifteen others were sum-
moned whom he expected to arrive
within day or so. Accordingly an ad-
journment until 10 o'clock Monday was
taken.

A CORNER IN EGGS.
Hen Fruit Commands a Fancy
Price In the East.

PITvrSBURG, Feb. 24.-The price Of
eggs has advanced from p cents to 40
cents a dozen. Last week H. D. Miller
OF Philo, Muskigum County, Ohio, ar
rived here and quietly started to buy
eggs In few days he had secured
LOCO cases or 10000 dozen. and now
has the market cornered. Before COM
ing to- Pittsburg Miller went out among
the poultry farms and found that the
hens had been frostbitten during the
blizzard. AS it takes them several
weeks to recuperate, Miller says eggs
will be selling at nickel apiece before
Easter.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 24.-An egg
famine is on in this city. The retail
price to-day is 60 cents and the whole
salers are holding out at So cents. The
retailers hesitate to meet this price, and
are hopeful that shipments from
Southern Indiana will soon bring the
price down.
CLEVELAND (O.), Feb. 24.-The egg
famine has reached this city, and the
retail price to-day reached so cents
per dozen. Many grocers We're unable
TO OBTAIN even small supply and
Would-be purchasers in many cases
were unable to get their orders filled
At some of the restaurants eggs have
been erased from the bill of fare. Com
mission dealers express the belief tina,
there would be no adequate supply for
a week or ten days at least.

The Court Of Inquiry Hearing the
Charges OF General Miles
Listens to Further Testimony Of Former
Commissay 6aneraI Eagan.
General Eagan Vigorously Denies
knowledge of Any Chemical
. Treatment Of Beef to preserve
It Which Was Furnished the
Soldiers During the War.

WASHINGTON, Feb. PLATTER
session. of little more than two hours,
the Court of Inquiry investigating the
beef charges adjourned until Monday,
pending the arrival of witnesses who
have been summoned Former Com
missary General Eagan to-day conclud-
ed his testimony, explaining the provis-
ions of contracts for beef for supplies
to the armies in Porto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippines. He vigorously denied
any knowledge of any chemical treat
ment of beef to preserve it and dis
avowed any connection whatever of the
Government of any such treatment.
General Eagan was followed by Major
General S. B. NJ. Young, and other Off
GERS who were din the Santiago cam
paign, and by officers of the Subsist-
ence Department. The refrigerated beef
was commended, while the canned roast
beef, on the whole, rather suffered as a
sequence to the days testimony.
Former Commissary General Charles
P. Eagan this morning resumed his tes-
timony before the Court of Inquiry in
vestigating the beef charges. He wore
the fatigue uniform of Brigadier Cen
eral Recurring to the contract re-
quirements, he explained that Swift q
Co. were wholly responsible for the
beef until delivered to the Government
officials at the point designated by the
department. The clause requiring beef
to keep seventy-two hours after leaving
the refrigerator was endorsed, he said,
at his instance, after the concerns de-
clared that they could prepare it so as
to keep that long.
Explaining further he said: Sup
pose a Commissary should make a
requistion at Santiago for 10000
pounds of beef, should secure it from
the ship and take proper care of it, re-
tanning it in the shade, and it should
spoil within seventy-two hours, the con-
tractors would not be paid for it."
Many vouchers for beef had been
paid, he said, and he presumed deduc-
tons for spoiled beef had been made,
though he did not know. He understood
through Colonel Osgood that beef had
been rejected by command when in
fact it was sweet and perfectly good.
Speaking of arrangements for the
Porto Rican expedition. General Eagan
said he understood General Brooke was
to command it. and he accordingly con-
suited with General Brooke, reaching q

plicity with her husband in the Mahon

Mrs. Sarah Strain of Atlanta, Ca,
sat beside her daughter in court. The
work of procuring a jury was begun.
Abraham Levy, counsel for Mrs.
Moore, moved the admission of Judge
Martin L. Pipes Of Portland, Or, to
practice at the bar. Judge Pipes was
member of the law firm of Strain &
Pipes, the senior member being the
father of Mrs. Moore. Justice Fursman
refused to admit Judge Pipes, saying
that the power to do so rested with the
Appellate Court. 1t is presumed Judge
Pipes wished to assist in the defense.
