Good Times; Higher Rates.

Eastern lines have begun in earnest
to get their share of the general pros
perity. Many advances In freight rates
have been made and the plan now is
to have rates on all classes of traffic
higher than they were during the hard
times. Very few advances have been
made by western lines, but their higher
officials are becoming impatient with
the delays of the traffic officials and are
expected soon to take a hand in the
matter. Business was never better and
rates never more out of proportion to
advances in the prices of commodities.

ExorTEMENT cREATEp
In Bellaire by the Finding Of Blood
Stained Clothes.

Stained Clothes.
There was some excitement caused
yesterday by the finding of old clothes
partially covered with blood on the pike
south Of Bellatre. The clothes had been
thrown over the edge Of the bank and
the presence of blood on some of the
garments furnished the basis for Wild
est rumors about probable murder.
To add to the excitement team of
mules attached to a wagon wandered
up to the lumber yard Of Dubois Il Nc
Coy, and this was taken as having some
connection with the finding Of the
clothes, but 1t developed that there was
nothing in that story, as the man whose
team had left while he was getting out
powder at a neIghboring magazine. was
soon on the hunt Of them and knew
nothing whatever of the clothes found.
There has been no tragedy that any
one knows OF, and It is probable some
fellow secured change Of clothes. and
threw the old ones away, possibly
making an effort to create a sensation.
The clothes are still at the city build
ing.

I he soldier who threw an empty
whiskey bottle at Marshal and Mrs.
Brown on Monday night was found
guilty of committing a common
nuisance in tho District Court this
morning. The Marshal gave evid-
ence as to the affair which might
have proven dangerous. The de.
fendant denied the statements made
by the Marshal and tried to put the
blame on an unknown, mysterious
soldier with whom he had several
drinks but whose name he did not
know, and whom he could not des-
cribe except by stating that he was
dressed in brown pants, an under
shirt and handkerchief
The Judge fined the defendant
So and costs He let him off 80
easily because the sergeant of the
young man gave him an excellent
testimony for good conduct.
The Magist rate remarked that IL
our civil authorities had shown a
stiff upper lip in dealing with the
soldiers in the beginning of the war

might not have been in existence.

With the Lyrics.


A very appreciative audience
greeted the talented opera company
last night when Fra Diavolo was
produced.
The composer OF the grand old
opera was always Aubert in days
gone by but it is now credited to
Audran, a composer who wasn't
born when Aubert composed the
we'll known melodies which made
Fra Diavolo the most popular opera
in Europe for many years.
The music in Fra Diavolo is superb
and the text is as imbecile as it al
ways was. People however, don't
go to operas to find great dramatic
points or clever intrigues, they 20 to
hear the singing and listen to the
magnificent music which the great
classic composers made for the eeva-
ton of musical mankind.
Miss Josephine Stanton and Henry
Hallam carried the masterwork to
success, which was demonstrated by
the audience in very enthusiastic
manner.
The prima donna OF the Lyrics
was as perfect in her rendering Of
her difficult part as she is ia The
beauty OF her face and form and
talents as All actress. The scene in
Zelina's bedroom 10 the second act
was very clever, yet modest aud
charming. Miss Stanton rose To the
occasion and the storm Of applause
which followed her beautiful solo
was we'll deserved.
AS Fra Diavolo, Henry Hallam
was at home His splendid stage
appearance, his finely cultivated
voice aud his artistic underst auding
OF the role made him the bj-ct Of
the admiration Of the audieL % aud
he kept all spell bound during the
play.
Mr.. Rogers Matteo gave the tai
ented singer a rich opportunity to
show his great qualities as an actor
and the splendid range of his rich
voice In The former plays Mr..
Rogers has not had the chance to
show what he can do; as Matteo he
proved himself the great artist he is.
The tenor voice OF Mr.. Parmley is
very pleasing and as Lorenzo he did
some very good work. The part Of
the Captain of the Carbineers is
suitable to his voice and we shall
always be pleased to hear the hand
some young singer in other operas
where his voice will be used in its
proper place..
The minor parts were rendered in
the usual excellent manners aud the
chorus was simply brilliant.
Daisy Howard makes a beautiful
Roberto and it is hoped that she
will be seen and heard again and
again.
On Thursday evening Martha will
Ira produced when Miss Andrews
will make her debut az Martha.

LoNGIN,O CARRIES LINCOLN


The chief interest in last Fri-
days primary in Lincoln CENTER
ed in the race for governor. Of
course all the candidates came
in for share of the interest and
effort of their friends, but the
question of absorbing concern
was the governorship. Judge
Longino passed through Brook
haven the day before and inter-
viewed a number Of his warmest
supporters on the situation, and
Judge Powell came down Thurs
day evening and spent election
day in the county, directing his
lieutenants in person. All day
long the workers on both sides
were busy getting voters to the
polls and pleading for their re-
spective favorites with oil who
had not made up their minds.
Here in Brookhaven hacks and
buggies were kept ready all day
to bring out the old, the halt and
the blind to vote. We have not
witnessed such interest in an
election since the local option
election OF August 10, 1886. 26
moro votes were polled at this
box than the week before.
The result was full OF surprises.
Longino's total vote of 739 the
week before was increased to 926;
while Powell's vote Of 737 in the
first primary fell off to 661, Civ
ing Judge Longino a majority in
the county of 265. His most SAN
guine supporters had not hoped
for a majority Of over 200. There
were surprises as to other candi-
dates, too, but these cannot be
mentione / in detail.
We will only add in closing
that the result for governor re-
fleets nothing on the honor and
high esteem in which Judge Pow
ell is held in Lincoln county as a
man and a judge. 1t is rather
the expression of the love and
esteem in which our people hold
and have held Judge Longino
from the days of his young man
hood. Against any Of his guber-
Material opponents except Lon
gino, Judge Powell would have
had a walk-over in Lincoln. =
Brookhaven Leader.

promise to bring about a wider
use for silver, who will under no
circumstances vote n gold stand
ard ticket. Mr.. Dubois says he
regards it as certain that the re-
publican platform will contain rs
strong an antitrust plank as The
democratic platform, but thinks
the individual voter should have
no doubt as to which party will
really combat the trusts. Mr..
Dubois also says that he is certain
the tickets will be headed next
year, by Bryan and Mckinley, as
in 1896.
Gov. Roosevelt was reminded
by the turning down of several
men whom he recommended per-
sonally to Mr., Mckinley for APP
pointment to be officers in the vol
unteers, that there are other po'-
iticians in New York who have
pull with the administration. Not
only we're some of Roosevelt s
men turned down, but there were
New Workers appointed whose
names were not even referred to
him, by Mr.. Mckinley. The au-
thority for this statement is an
official of the war department,
who knows the endorsements on
the papers of every man who was
appointed. Perhaps Roosevelt
would have had better luck if he
had withheld his declaration in
favor of Mr.. McKinley's renomi-
nation little longer. Publicly
committing himself, probably
weakened his pull.

THE ROUND ROBIN.

The round robin sent from
Hong Kong by newspaper corre-
spondents has aroused the ad-
ministration at last. The fact is
revealed that the authorities at
Manila have been deceiving our
people as to the facts and that all
the rose -colored reports sent out
by General Otis have little foun-
dation in truth. News of this
protest could not be sent from
Manila, and, therefore, the cor
respondents were forced to send
it by letter to Hong Kong to be
cabled. An effort is being made
at Washington since the publica-
ton of the correspondents pro-
test, to show that the censorship
of the telegraph carried on at
Manila is contrary to the wish OF
the President. If this be SO,
either General Otis is sending
false news to the President, or,
if the actual truth is coming to
the War Department, it is care :
fully suppressed there.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Prof. Wilkinson, section di-
rector of the weather bureau, at
Vicksburg, Miss, gives us the
following summary Of the condi-
ton of crops for the week ending
Monday, July II, 1890:
There has been an abundance
of warm sunshine during the
past week to promote a healthy
growth Of crops. Some complain
because of lack of moisture, but
the general reports are favorable
and indicate fairly satisfactory
conditions.
Much Of the cotton is now re-
ported fruiting and laid by.
There has been an Improvement
since the rains Of last week, but
more precipitation is now desired
to promote the growth of late
planted cotton and corn. The
late cotton is, in some localities,
reported very irregular in growth
but full of bloom. Corn is do
ing fairly we'll in most sections
Of the state, although there is
complaint Of irregular size in the
hilly sections.
