GOLD WAVE ARRIVES
FROST WILL PROBABLY APPEAR
 THIS MORNING.
It is Thought Fruit Escaped Damage in This standardization Are That Weather Will
 Moderate Today.

The cold weather predicted by the Weather Bureau got in on time yester- day, the temperature dropping S1 degrees in about sixteen hours and going to 3l, or one degree below freezing. Fortunately. however. brisk wind prevailed, which prevented any frost forming. It IS thought that fruit was not hurt in this vicinity or south. but to the north and west of this place 1t was doubtless dam aged. as the temperature was several de- grees below freezing In the northern counties. and was as low as. 20 at At lanta. It is impossible to estimate the damage now though. as many orchards may have been protected by smudge fires on the strength of the timely warning is- sued by the Weather Bureau on Monday;
 Warning was also issued for continued cold this morning. with heavy frost which will very probably occur as the wind was becoming quite light at late hour last night.
 The crest of the cold area will have passed east by this morning after which It will warm again.

More Maine Brothers in Congress.

A few days ago, a western paper
spoke of the nomination for Congress
of the three Lands brothers, two in
Illinois and one in Indiana, and claimed
that if they are elected it will be the
first time three brothers have served
in Congress together. In reply, we in
stanced the case of Names famous
Washburn brothers, four of them rep
resenting as many states in Congress,
and three of them being members at
the same time and all three later being
governors of their respective states.
And now we are reminded that there is
still another case in which Maine has
repeated this remarkable achievement.
The three Washburns We're all mem
bers of the 36th Congress. In the 37th
Congress. were the three Fessenden
brothers, and in this latter case not
only were they Maine men, but all
three represented Maine in Congress.
William Pitt Fessenden, of Portland
one of the greatest men Maine ever
produced, was in the Senate, and his
brothers, Samuel c. Fessenden of
Rockland, and Thomas A. D. Fessenden
of Auburn, We're members of the Ma
| tional House. All three were graduates
of Bowdoin College. 1t is true that
| they We're not all in the same branch
| of Congress, as were the three Wash
| burn brothers and as will be the three
Lands brothers. if they are elected, but
hey were all in Congress together, an
| honor to the State that sent them, and
| it is the only case in the history Of the
| country where three brothers have rep
resented the same state at the same
| time in that high body.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All

New York Aug. 11-There were not
lacking, today, many echoes of last
weeks excited Surmises regarding the
supposed readjustment of relations i'm the
Southern and Southwestern railroad
world, but some artificial effort was per-
ceptibe to foster the stimulating infiu
ence of these. The entire absence of any
artificial confederation or countenancc
for the rumors used a pause in the spec
ulation based upon them. Attention was
diverted anew to the money market, to-
day. in view of the heavy inroad upon
the surplus reserves of the banks revealed
in Saturdays bank statement. Many
glowing reports were received in Wall
street of the promise of the harvest, the
large traffic moving on the railroads and
the indications for an unusually large fail
trade in all branches. The present high
level of prices for grain carrying rail
roads is the result of former buying t.

question. he was quiet, unselish. and
loyal to principal, party and friends.
In Washington his death will be felt
almost as keenly as in Detroit where
he was connected with so many bust
ness interests, as he was peculiarly
identified with the National Capital.
AS chairman of the committee on the
District of Columbia, he had shown a
progressiveness and farsighted regard
for the future of the nations capital
beyond any other man who has occu-
pied the place. He had hoped that
the DEVELOPMENT of Washington on
lines of architectural and scenic beauty
would be a monument OF himself, and
it is safe to say that he will always be
remembered as the responsible author
of plan in general accordance with
which Washington will grow for many
years, and which will in time make it
by far the most beautiful Capital in
the world. In his relations to the Dis
trict of Columbia there is nobody now
in sight who can take his place.
But his work as chairman Of the
district committee constitutes only a
part of his record. He was regarded
as one of the wisest and safest men in
Congress on all legislative questions.
He was member of the Republican
steering committee in the Senate, and
difficult questions were always re-
ferred to him with the certainty of
astute and comprehensive treatment.
He was one of the best men in public
life when it came to the adjustment of
difficulties. He was the second men,
Der of the commerce committee, and
was also a member of the committees
on appropriations and naval affairs.
