WAS DEATH TO THE CAT.

There is an Atlanta man who will
not use kerosene oil to rid any of his
pets of fleas again. He had a house
cat which was badly afflicted with
fieas and which was very generous in
transferring this afIlction to others.
After cogitating over the matter he de-
cided to give the cat an oil bath, which
was done. That night the cat went
out to visit a friend in the adjoining
house and not finding the friend at
home proceeded to make herself COM
Portable under the stove The heat
set the oily hair afire and the poor ami
NAL rushed out in agony. running into
the dining room where
she Jumped upon sofa
She was discovered by the family and
efforts made to extinguish the blaze,
but before anything could be done all
the hair had been burned off and the
poor animal was killed to put it out
of its agony. Returning from the yard
where this scene had been finished the
family found the sole in the dining
room ablaze and several buckets of
water were required to extinguish it,
Moral: Never battle cat in kerosene.

BIG JUMP IN CORN.
Prices Soar Skyward With Excite.
ment Among the Brokers.


ment Among the Brokers.
New York, July 22.-The crowd which
surrounded the corn ring was larger
than usual this morning. Brokers with
their hands full of buying orders were
constantly besieged by messenger
boys bringing dispatches that told of
continued hot, dry weather all over
the corn belt. The bell at 1913 O'Clock
transformed this nervous crowd of
brokers into a crowd of excited men.
To the gallery it looked like a verita-
Die Dedlam. News coming in from the
West told of advances in price. and
only added fuel to the excitement.
There being few sellers, the price
jumped rapidly. Even wheat was af-
fected and before the day was out,
robbed corn of its leading place and
absorbed most of the speculative inter-
est itself This double market was
something new on Change, and at
tracted the attention of the whole floor.
The bulls claimed that spring wheat
was being ruined by excessive heat,
and the public evidently believing the
reports to a considerable extent, sent
in stream of buying orders. Septem-
Der. which closed Saturday at 1881
opened at TAX and by noon, was up to
I6. The strain was heavy, but as. or
ders kept coming prices kept rising
until before the close 77B was touched.
Then a reaction to Tx followed with
later curb rise to 771sc. Foreign
houses bought freely for French ac-
count, and cables were generally high
err and strong. Corn, although OPEN
ing &c higher at 601sc, for September.
kept right on jumping throughout the
day. until 621sc was reached, or 4 cents
rise for the day against 303Ac net
advance for wheat. The close left
traders unsettled.

A FLORIDA MYSTERY.

The Palatka Advertiser says that the
people of Putnam county are mysti-
fed over a recent request from a Penn
sylvania attorney to the clerk of the
Circuit Court of the county for infor-
nation as to the matrimonial status of
Mrs. Adeline +. Jamison, who is ap-
plying for a pension as the widow of
Capt. b. Jamison. a well-known cit
izen of Putnam county, who died in
November, 1898. To the best of the
knowledge and belief of the people of
Putnam county Mrs. Jamison was
burned up alive in her home at Como
in that county. Sept 9. 1893. during
the absence of her husband. The gem
eral belief was that she was murdered
and the home set fire TO to hide the
crime. What We're believed to be the
bones of the murdered woman were
found among the ruins and taken by
her nephew, DR.. A. ]. Kurtz of Phila-
delphia, and inferred in the family
cemetery lot in Arie, Pa. Suspicion, as
II was thought at the time, pointed
very strongly to a young man living
in the neighborhood named Charles
Brent, who was accordingly arrested
and tried upon the charge of murder.
Several witnesses testified to having
seen the lady in and around her house
during the afternoon of the tragedy,
and one saw her in the house about
$50 in the evening. 1t was known that
Mr.. Brent frequently visited Mrs. jam
ison and that he knew she generally
had more or less money in the house
Brent succeeded in establishing an ALI
bi. however. and is now a respected
citizen Of the county. What the people
OF Palatka and Putnam county would
like TO know is whether Mrs. Jamison
was really burned up in the
house at Como on the night or Sept
8. 1898, or whether there were two
Mrs. Jamisons. one living in Pennsyl-
vania and the other in Florida. The
Mrs. Jamison who was known TO the
people OF Florida, was Amanda c.,

inquiry is made is given as Adeline

FLORIDA.

The recent legal hanging of four ne
groes at Vernon, Fla. does not seem
to have quelled the disorderly spirit of
the negroes in that section. Shortly
after the hanging another causeless
murder was committed. A negro
named Bill HILL alias King William"
tanked up on mean liquor and desiring
TO have some fun with a pistol, sought
to borrow one from another negro
named Chatham. The request was re-
fused which made Hill very angry.
Chatham went to his work at a tur-
pentine still several miles away Hill
procured a shotgun and followed him
there, where he poured both loads of
shot into Chatham's body, killing him
instantly. Hill exclaimed as he fired,
IF you can't lend me your pistol you
can take that" Hill took to the
swamps, but was captured being lit
orally starved out as even the negroes
refused to render him any assistance

ored Methodist church at Sugartown.
a negro settlement near Columbus. was
opened Friday night Sandy Scott arose
and proceeded to denounce the pastor.
Rev H. NJ. Mitchell. whom he charged
with having been intimate with his
wife A deep sensation followed this
announcement, but before the members
had time to take a vote on the mat
ter the Rev. Mitchell had gotten into
the game. Pulling out a big knife, he
started at Scott, and in the fight that
followed cut him very painfully in a
number of places. one of his arms
was cut to the bone. While painfully
hurt, the negro's wounds were not Sc
rions. Scott hurried home for his gun,
and returned just as the congregation
left the church. He fired four times at
Mitchell, but all four loads missed the
preacher although a few stray shots
landed in John Farley, a negro who
was standing by. Both parties are
under arrest.

MADE A MEAL OF THE DOG.

Abel News: on one of the warm
days of last week a thirsty negro, ac-
companied by his thirsty dog. went
down to the rivers edge near the bridge
across Little river on the road from
here TO Moultrie. The negro and dog
at once began to quench their thirst
from the flowing stream, when all at
once a big alligator arose from the
dark waters of the stream and with
one fell swOoo knocked the dog into
the water, and soon the saurian was
making a monday meal of the canine.
The lick from the big gator splashed
water all over the negro. who was
scared nearly to death, and acting
upon the principle that distance lends
enchantment' he lost no time in get
ting away. a party of white men saw
the unusual scene from a distance.

The Cases of McWhOrter and john
SON Different From That of King.
Atlanta, Dec. 26.-There has been
much comment at the capitol with ref
erence to the criticism of Gov. Gambler
for vetoing the resolutions providing
for the payment of the per diems of
Hon. ]. S. McWhorter of Oglethorpe,
and Hon. G. G. Johnson of jefferson,
to their widows, while the per diem of
Hon. Porter King was paid to his fam
lily after his death. An examination of
the law shows the two cases are en-
tirely different. Messrs. McWhorter and
Johnson died some time before the be-
ginning of the session of the rLegisla-
ture, and their successors were elected
and were sworn in when the session
began and drew the salary and mile
age for the session. In the case of Por-
ter King, he had served three days of
the session when he died, and under
section 31l. volume 1, of the civil code,
his per diem for the remainder of the
session was paid to his widow with
out the passage of any resolution or
any action whatever on the part OF
the Governor. Although it was entirely
unnecessary, there was passed and
signed by the Governor, a resolution for
the payment of the per diem of Lee
tnred Crawford, colored, of Mcintosh,
who died during the session Just
closed.
