cost 81 900. 600 and is at its highest point
81 feet above sea level. The Canal du
Midi, cut through France from Tou-
louise. on the Garonna to Cette, on the
Mediterranean, a distance of $50 miles,
is 81 feet deep, go feet wide and 600
feet above sea level at its highest
point, and has ia locks; total cost,
$500, 900.
In America, the canals connecting the
Great Lakes are the principal ship can
ais, and are three in number-the We'll
land canal, originally constructed in
1888, and enlarged in 1871 and 1900; the
Sault Ste. Marie, or St. Mary's river
canal, opened in 1855 and enlarged in
1897, and the Canadian canal, at st.
Mary's river, opened in 1895. The Amer
lean and Canadian canals at St Mary
Falls are practically identical in loca-
ton and dimensions, and are used in
terchangeably by vessels engaged in
commerce, as convenience may die
tate. The depth of the canals at St.
Mary's river is sufficient to accommo-
date vessels drawing 20 feet of water.
The American canal was originally
constructed by the state of Michigan,
but subsequently taken charge of by
the United States and enlarged, at
cost of $2,l50.0O0. The cost of the We'll
land canal was about $50. 900 900 large
~ due to the fact that twenty-five
locks are required in surmounting the
rise of 297 feet in the distance of TWEEN
ty-seyen miles. The number of vessels
passing through the canals at st.
Mary's river has greatly increased
during the past few years, while the
number passing through the Welland
canal has materially decreased, the
number passing through the ST.
Mary's canals being, in 1873, 2,517, and
in 1901, 20,041. of which 1887 passed
through the United States canal. and
1924 through the Canadian. The num-
Der of vessels passing through the
| Welland canal has decreased from O.
425, in 1873, to 1902, in 1899. The
marked contrast between the business
of the St. Mary's Falls and Welland
canals is largely due to the fact that
the freights originating in the Lake
| Superior district are chiefly discharged
at Lake Erie ports, and those destined
for the Lake Superior region are
chiefly produced in the section contig-
uous to Lake Erie, the Lake Superior
freights being chiefly iron, copper and
| grain, and the Lake Erie freights for
Lake Superior coal and manufactures
The business of the ST. Marys Falls
canals by far surpasses in volume that
or any other canal of the world, the
freight tonnage or the American and
| Canadian canals combined being, in
| 1901, 24,626,S16 registered tons, while the
! net tonnage of the Suez canal, in 1900,
| was 9,3lS,l52 tons, and that of the
Kaiser Wilhelm canal, 4,2S2,094 tons.

A SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.
One school BOY Fills the side of
Another Full of shot

Valdosta, Ga, Jan. 25.-News was re-
ceived here to-day of a shooting scrape
at Dupont. The principals in the affair
were school boys and one of them is
lying at the point of death, one side
from his hip to his shoulder being filed
with shot.
The shooting was done by a lad
twelve years old, son of Col Sher-
wood Burkhalter. the wel-known
Clinch county lawyer. The victim is a
son of Mr.. Hardy O'Quinn, one of the
best known citizens of the town of
Dupont. The O'Quinn boy is the older
of the two, being about sixteen. Both
of the boys have been attending the in
situte at that place. and during their
play yesterday they had a falling out
and a school-boy fight. The younger
was at a disadvantage in the "fair-fst-
and-skulP' bout so he went home and
secured a single-barre shotgun and
returned to the scene.
When within fourteen steps of
OQuinn he fired, the entire load taking
effect in OQuinn's side. The wounds
are very serious, but DR.. McCaskill, the
attending physician, expressed the be-
lief that the wounded lad would recov-
er If he could live through to-day. 1.-THE
shooting has been the sensa ton of the
day in that section, both families being
well known.

county is having some experience with
convicts on the public roads and the
people are beginning to like the plan.
During the past several months force
of from twelve to sixteen cOnvicts
have been kept upon the roads and a
great improvement is noted. The gang
are at work on bridge over the Alapa-
ha river between here and Naylor, but
as soon as they get through there they
will be put to work on an experiment
road to the north of this city for five
miles. The experiment bids fair to
stir up interest in all parts of the
county.
Sheriff Passmore reports that the al
legged attempted wreck of a Plant Sys-
tenn train was exaggerated. He says
that the large piece of wood that was
fastened between the switch and main
line rails probably fell from a passing
train and just happened to catch in
that way. Parties from there stated
that ties were piled on the track, and
the sheriff was summoned there to try
and find the guilty parties.
The Board of Trade has perfected it's
organization. Mr.. Thomas c. Crawford
is president, and Col. j. NJ. wilkinson
vice president. The Board of Directors
were taken so as to represent the va
ried interests of the town and were as
follows: S. B. Goodwin, 9. P. Hender-
son, W. p. borough. c. r. Ashley, NJ.

men of the city and citizens not en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. will swell
the number to probably an hundred.

times to organize a Board Of Trade.
but has never succeeded in doing so
until now. The present board is bound
by legal contracts that viii keep it in

HussARs TOOK THREE GAMES.
Won Easily From Jacksonville
Bowling Club.

Though the Florida Country Club
defeated the Savannahians at golf yes
terday afternoon. the local bowlers, q
team representing the Georgia Hus-
sars, returned the compliment at bowl
ing by winning three straight games
from the Jacksonville Bowling Club.
While none of the scores, either for
the games or for the individuals, were
really exceptional. many of them were
very good, especially the work OF Mr..
Stein Bryan who. despite the fact that
he played golf all the afternoon, not
not only made the highest score Of
the match. 1876, but also the highest
average score for the match, III 1-3.
The second best individual score was
IFS, made by Mr.. G. Saunders of the
Jacksonville team. while the second
best average score was 1853, made by
Mr.. Robert Remler of the Hussars.
The best average score of the visitors
was 14S 23, made by Mr.. w. A. Jones.
The lineup of the teams and the
score of the games was as follows.

LANGDON BOwIE's TRIAL.
Jury Has Not Reached a Verdict and
MistriaI Expected.

Rome, Ga. Jan. 25.-At 10 o'clock to-
night the jury announced that they had
no verdict in the Langdon Bowie case
and retired for the night. No verdict
Is possible now before Monday, and the
general opinion is that this Jury will
not agree upon verdict, and it will
result in a mistrial. Argument was
concluded in this memorable trial Fri
day evening and the jury retired at 6
O'Clock. This morning they asked to be
recharged on the law of voluntary
manslaughter and justifiable homicide.
1t is thought that most of the jury are
for acquittal, and that one or two men
are holding out for conviction. The
prominence of young Bowie has
aroused more interest in his trial than
ever known in any case here. On Friday
the court room was packed to suffo-
cation, and among the spectators were
many of Rome's most prominent ladies.
They all desire his acquittal.

IMMENSE LOSSES AT GAMING.
Count POtocLi's Dropping SSOO,O0t
Said to Break Record.

Count POtocl<i's Dropping 100000
said to Break Record.
Vienna dispatch to New York World.
In the rooms of the Vienna Jockey
Club, surrounded by Austrian noble
men and drinking imperial tokay at
s1e0 a bottle, Count Joseph Potocki lost
$500 900 in four hours of play at bac-
carat-the biggest loss that was ever
made by one individual in a game Of
cards.
The Imperial Chancellor. Goluchow-
ski, who stood by Potocki's side and
saw the money lost, has been severely
reprimannded by the Emperor.
Opposed to Count Potocki in the CO.
lossaI game were the Hungarian Dep
uty Herr Won Szemore and Prince
Francis Hraganza: Won Szemore won
$500 900 from Potocki and Prince Bra
ganza $3.50, 900. The remaining $4,000
can probably be accounted for by the
outstanding players and the percen-
tage OF the table.
Taking cognizance of these facts, the
authorities have instituted proceedings
against POtocki and the principal win
ners. They were notified not to leave
Vienna without especial permission.
So much for the mere details. 1t
would be hard, however, TO portray the
intense excitement caused by Potocki's
loss among the Austrian nobility.
Nothing like it has ever been known
even in this land of princely plungers-
palaces wagered on the turn of card;
houses and lands burned up on the al
tar of Moloch, by a spade too large or
a diamond too smal-more money than
a day laborer working every day. could
earn in lifetime, lost in the twinkling
Of an eye.
Surprising there were two players be-
sides the dealer; it would take about
one minute for each consecutive turn
of the cards around the table. On each
of these turns young Potocki lost an
average of nearly 1886, or 5000, 900 an
hour.
Count Potocki is wealthy, but is in
the condition that is sometimes termed
land poor His estate consists prin-
cipally of land which at this particular
time is difficult to sell. In consequence
of this the young Russian Count has
contracted enormous debts, which he
has engaged to pay off in installments.
On two occasions within the past
fortnight Potocki lost heavily. He APP
parently went into the Jockey Club on
! the evening in question with the de-
/ lfberate intention of retrieving his
| losses by a grand coup. Won Szemere
not being a wealthy man, the stakes
at first were moderate. Both the Hun
| garian Deputy and Prince Braganza
won steadily from the outset
Then the unfortunate and reckless
Count forced the high play and
plunged desperately. His opponents,

however, that conditions were rather

of his rulings were bizarre. One day
a chicken peddler drifted that way
from another state and was promptly
