This Years VIII Show Large In
crease over Last.
Savannahs cotton receipts have run
ahead OF last year, with the prospect of
establishing very wide difference in ia
vor of the present season before it closes
on Aug. 81. The increase is due to the gen.
orally conceded fact that this seasons
crop is large one, and also to the usual
activity on the part of cotton men in
bringing business to the port.
The past year has witnessed some very
important improvements In Savannah's
port facilities that have helped to attract
business. The facilities of the Union Ship.
ping Company, which are possibly not yet
thoroughly known in the shipping world
are destined to aid largely I'm the upbuild-
ing of a broader cotton trade. Other COM
presses, as well as the railroads, are also
holding their own in the fight to bring
Savannah prominently 10 the front as the
foremost shipping point on the South At
lantic.

PRESIDENT ABANDONS TOUR.
VIII Return to Washington as Soon q
Mrs. McKinley's Health Permits.

VIII Return to Washington as Soon at
Mrs. McKinley's Health Permits.
San Francisco, Cal-Secretary Cor
telyou, Wednesday, gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"Mrs. McKinley's serious illness
compels the President to abandon his
proposed visit to other States, to which
he had looked forward with so much
pleasure. AS soon as Mrs. McKinley's
health will permit he will return to
Washington by the most direct route"
The gravity of Mrs. McKinley's con-
dition has been known to the members
of the Presidents immediate party for
several days, but had been concealed
in the belief that she would rally, as
she had done so frequently in the past
when suffering from one OF her periods
of depression, and with few days of
absolute rest be restored to normal
condition. But ';er present illness has
been attended with entirely new COM
plications, which have not yielded TO
treatment, and the President conclud-
ed that it was time the public should
be apprised Of the true situation.
President Mckinley 8 decision to
abandon the rest of his tour was not
made until after the most careful de-
termination, and it was OILY taken
because the physicians considered the
presence of the President at the bed
side of Mrs. Mckinley Indispensable
for several weeks to come.

MAINE FAMILY MURDERED

Conceal the Crime.
FARMERS ARM FOR PROTECTION

The State Is Overrun With Tramps Who
Are Supposed to Have Committed
Many Crimes - Latest Tragedy Dis
covered at Shirley Arouses the Whole
Community-Slight Clue to Murderers.
Shirley, Me. The murders which
have startled the rural districts of
Maine the past few months are almost
overshadowed by a tragedy in this
town, in which a family of three was
put out of existence and fire used to
hide the crime. The victims are j.
Wesley Allen, a selectman; his wife
and their een-year-old daughter.
The charred bodies were found Oh the
stage road leading from Monson to
Moosehead Lake.
The only clue to the identity Of the
murderers Is furnished by a man
named Johnson, who reported that he
was stopped on the road by four men.
all being intoxicated, one of whom an
swers the description of the highway
man who robbed the Willimantic stage
the other day.
The greatest excitement prevails IN
the community, and arms and ammu-
milton have been obtained by farmers
who fear visit from the murderers.
Charles Tibbetts, while driving
down the stage road with his children
to the village school, saw the ruins Of
the Allen farmhouse, and, out of curl
osity, searched the embers, finding the
bones of body. He gathered the
nearest neighbors and the ruins were
searched and bones Of four persons,
supposedly, were found. Later it was
definitely shown that only three per-
sons had lost their lives. and that they
were not in their beds OF rooms at the
time.
It appears that the house and barn
were burned separately, as a large pile
OF cut wood which stood between the
buildings was not even scorched. The
Allen farmhouse was an ordinary
story -and-a-hal wooden building with
an extension. In this house Mr.. Allen
and his wife had made their home for
nearly forty years, and they were re-
spected by every one. Mr.. Allen was
quite prosperous.
The rural regions Of Maine are
swarming with tramps at this time Of
the year, and many crimes are COM
mitted by them. The country Is much
excited and there is danger that the
murderers would be lynched If caught.

The whole village is ready to rally

sympathy of all here is with George
Hunt and his young bride.
George Hunt had been paying court
to Charlotte King since her motner

Township. A few days ago the cou-

home they found a constable waiting
to arrest the bridegroom on warrant
sworn out by Mrs. Walker, charging
him with kidnapping, and he was taken
before Justice Ely, at Evanston, only
to be discharged.
During the hearing, however, the
bride was spirited away by Ter par

til he learned that his bride was held
prisoner at the home Of her parents.
He determined upon rescue and, IN

After he had freed himself from the

shook hands with the jurors and
thanked them.
He had nothing to say about himself,
not a word for publication. He had
expected to be acquitted, he said. and
never had any doubt about the re-

that it was some time before the
judges could thank the jury, and as

delivered q verdict in accordance with

During the day Eastman was obliged
to listen to a most scathing arraign-
