LIGHT VISIBLE FROM AMER1CUs
Parties Here Saw Reflection of Big
Florida Blaze.

Though Americas is 200 miles from
Jacksonville, the reflection from the
monster conf1agration there Friday
night was distinctly visible here, and
two or three well known gentlemen
watched it quite time.
One of these was Mr.. Carroll J.
Clarke, of the firm of Miller & Clarke.
He was in the country, and from q
lofty hilltop saw the glare upon the
sky and called the attention of several
gentlemen thereto.
A telegram received here yesterday
morning at $50 o'clock stated that the
FIRE was still burning, though under
control. History does not record such
confagration in this country from
any cause.
Chcago's big blaze, and Sherman's
pyrotechnics in Atlanta, were very fan
surpassed.
Mrs. Faux and Mrs, w. @. Goodwin,
former residents of Americas, were
among the sufferers by the Jackson

MANY SOLDIERS At ANDERSON.
Five Companies to Maintain Order
May SOth.

The Americas Light Infantry made
a fine record on Federal decoration day
last year in maintaining order among
the thousands of negroes assembled
there, and on 30th inst will again be
sent there to keep peace.
But this year the Americas company
will have some assistance.
It is said that five companies of state
troops will be sent to Andersonville,
and this number will be ample to pre-
serve order,
Last year the Americus troops were
kept on the jump all day and until 10
o'clock that night, quelling riots among
negroes and arresting gamblers and
fighters. A harder days work is rarely
done by troops in the service.
This time the $50 sellers will be d.
vided into squads of 10 or Is each and
stationed IN the woods surrounding
the town.
In this manner only can good order
be assured.
More white will go to Andersonville
on May 30th than usually attend the
exercises there. A large number OF
Pennsylvania people will be present,
besides members of Grand Army Posts.
And the usual contingent of 5000 to
1000 negroes will camp about the de.
pot, dance in the woods and raise cain
generally.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Strength in Coarse Grains the In
nuence in Wheat.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE strength in
coarse grains was again the influence in
wheat. Shorts covered. Local bulls were
inclined to take hold and bought moder-
ately. Primary receipts were large
Clearances heavy. $50, 900 bushels. No cash
business here. The seaboard reported A
loads. Offerings from the Southwest are
much lighter.
Corn was fairly active and strong.
There was no change nor any immediate
prospect of one, in the weather. Commits
sion houses were good sellers in the shape
of profit-taking. Local professionals We're
bullish and gave the market good sup
port all day. The sharp advance in the
speculative price has checked the local
cash demand. Very high prices, however,
are being paid in Missouri and Kansas.
Oats We're strong on the Government
report, which suggests a yield estimated
by local statisticians from 6s4.00O.O00 to
7S2, 900. 900 bushels. The discrepancies arise
from the figures accepted par on the
yield per acre, 81 to 80 bushels. There
was general heavy buying for the greater
part of the session, under which prices
advanced sharply. Near the close there
was a &c reaction on liberal taking
sales by prominent local professionals.
