PalStka News: The trial of a divorce
suit between John Madison and his
wife, Nancy, came to an abrupt con-
clusion Tuesday. The principals are
negroes upwards of Go years old, and
for fifteen years had lived together as
man and wife. Just before the wind
up of testimony taken late Tuesday
afternoon, old John Madison. the plain
tiff, was put on the stand, and it was
his innocently given testimony that
caused the judge and lawyers to grin,
and brought the case TO an abrupt end.
John" said Judge Cox the examining
lawyer. you may tell the court how
long a time elasped after he death of
your first wife before you married
Nancy?" why, bless Gawd, jedge,
she amt dead" answered John, shes
up in Georgia. Very well, then"
continued the judge, how long was it
after you obtained a divorce from your
first wife that you married Nancy?"
why, judge" answered John, Il never
dun got a divorce. She jus mach rally
left me and went to Georgia" Did
your first wife ever get divorce from
you?" questioned Judge Coke. Not
that l knows on" answered old John,
she jus nach'rally left me and went
to Georgia" rs she still liYing?"
questioned the attorney. so far as l
knows" said John. II amt heerd from
her in bout a year; but she was in
Georgia then" OF course the fact that
Nancy and John were never legally
married, brought the suit to an abrupt
end and a smile to the face of the long
suffering court.

Tampa Times: The special election
held in the third ward yesterday for
the purpose of electing a member of
the Board of Public Works, resulted in
a victory for w. r. Fuller, Jr., who
came out victorious with a handsome
majority. The election was one of the
most exciting ever held in the city,
the freeholders of that ward manifest
ing considerable interest in the selec-
ton OF that official. The friends of all
candidates worked hard, and before the
polls closed L. w. Smith and w. R.
Fuller, Jr., were both confident of vic
tory. There were 112 qualified voters in
the ward, out of which 100 participated
in the election. 1t is believed that all
freeholders who were in the city cast
their ballot. A number of prominent
citizens of the third ward are out of
the city. which accounts for the nine
votes not being cast.

trio storm late yesterday afternoon
lightning struck the city dredge boat.
and the same bolt came near killing
Rev. T. NJ. Hauser, the evangelist.
The dredge boat was tied up in the
canal near the basin wharf. Opposite
the boat, back of the store of Mr.. Otis
Florence, Mr.. Hauser's gospel tent
was erected, in which the last of a
series of meetings was to have been
held last night. The canal at this
place being higher than the street, the
smoke stack of the dredge boat was
nearly IN line with the center pole of
the tent. When the storm came up
Mr.. Hauser hurried to his tent, TO look
after it. He was trying to wrench
loose a board nailed to the center pole
when a bolt of lightning struck the
smoke stack of the dredge boat. There
was no one On board at the time. and
beyond twisting the funnel no damage
is believed to have been done the boat.
A spark of the bolt struck the tent
pole, and the wet rope acting as a con-
ductor, ran down the pole. 1t struck
Mr.. Hauser on his left hand, which
was raised, and was knocked down
by the shock. He quickly revived,
however. and except for a swollen hand
is none the worse for his experience.

sist in paying the expenses of the can
tons of Georgia when they go to Des-
Moines next month as an escort to

CHICAGO MARKETS.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Vicious and saw
age trading characterized the business
on the Board of Trade to-day. st.
Louis shorts in corn and wheat were
punished severely. There was nothing
particularly bullish in the early news,
but yesterdays exceptional bulge in
corn frightened the corn shorts, and at
the opening there was a wild rush to
get under cover. After prices all
around had been boosted to figures to
suit the big holders, manipulation
made prices jump back and forth err
radically. In the end the shorts sur
fered. the local longs secured fancy
profits for their holdings and prices
closed weaker. September corn closed

wheat market may have helped this
movement.
The freedom from furry in the mon
ey market with the demand for loans
to carry over until Monday had re-
assuring effect and aroused hopes
that the bank Abatement tomorrow
would show a Strengthened condition.
If this proves to be the case. 1t must
be by reason of loan contraction by
transfer of credits to the trust COM
panies and to foreign lenders. The
interior currency movement seems
still to be slightly in favor of New

SUICIDE AT EIGHTY YEARS.

Walton News and Messenger: Sat-
urday morning about o'clock, Math-
CIV Carter, one of Walton county's old
est citizens, committed suicide by
jumping into an old we'll at his home
near Walnutgrove. He appeared to be
worried about something and arose
from his bed about midnight, but his
wife pleaded with him until he re-
turned to his bed. where he was APP
parently soon sleeping soundly. Sup
posing that he was all right the wo
man fell asleep. Later she awoke and
discovered that her husband had again
left his bed. She called for assistance
and a search for the missing man was
inaugurated. The search was contin-
ued until daylight. when it was sug-
gested that the we'll be looked into. A
man was lowered, but saw nothing to
indicate that the missing man was
there. He was let down into the wa
ter, however, and about a foot below
the surface he came in contact with
the head of the dead man. who was
standing upright in the water. his feet
resting on the bottom. Mr.. Carter
was about so years old and well known
throughout this county. One of his
sons, Y. P. Carter. committed suicide
by hanging himself, some time ago.

DIFFICULTY OF FIXING TIME FOR
MOVEMENT OF COTTON.
BIG RECEIPTS ABOUT FIRST.
EXPECTATIONS FOR COTTON MID
DIE OF AUGUST FAILED.

The New Interests to Draw the
tiOn-Mntters OF Interest to ship
pers and Mariners.
The difficulty of calculating the time
for the movement of the cotton crop
is shown in the general estimates made
by the cotton and freight trades of the
time for the present crop to start sea-
ward. A few weeks ago the consensus
OF opinion was that the middle of Au-
gust would find the crop under head
way 1t is not yet under way, and
probably will not be before Sept. l.
When the crop does start to moving
briskly, the indications are that the
receipts will be large as a result OF the
efforts that will be made by both ship
ping agents and railroads to bring the
cotton TO Savannah. 1t is reported that
the Southern Railway will bring con-
sidera bly, more cotton to Savannah
this season than it did last by divert
ing the movement of other channels to
this.
Schooner owners are anxiously
awaiting the settlement of the coal
strike, for when it comes every sort
of vessel will be pressed into the coal

unusual activity manifested in the
