Hinesville. Ga, June 19.-The Repub-

day pow-wow here yesterday with en-
thusiasm much diminished. compared
to former years, and effected in a man
ner, a reorganization of their forces for
the coming fray this fall. They pass
ed a resolution calling their cohorts to
gather here in mass meeting July %,
five days after the Democratic primary,
to nominate a candidate for the Leg
islature and also for every county Of
fee from bailiff up.
Mr.. r. S. Hendry announces for the
Legislature, subject to the July prima-
ry. This places three candidates in
the field for that Office so far, and it
is the earnest desire of nine-tenths of
the white voters that no further en-
tries be made, in order that friction
may be avoided as far as possible and
entire harmony prevail.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.

anu
The harbor just now presents the
dIllest appearance of the year, with
few vessels in port, and especially the
Norwegian banks, which usually come
in large numbers at this season to
move the naval stores crop. However,
more Norwegians are here now than
many expected. as it was supposed
they would be largely retired for
steamers. which carry naval stores
much quicker. When it is desired to
save time in getting stuff to the other
side the steamers are looked to do
this.
1t generally turns out that the sail
ing vessel scores a point on steam craft
when there is a pinch" of any kind,
which seems probable now if the coal
strike is not soon settled. According
to reports in the Morning News on
yesterday steamers are apt to be bound
at South Atlantic ports because OF
their inability TO get coal. Should this
happen the Norwegians would stand a
show of increasing their engagements,
for they can proceed any time the
weather permits. Strikes do not affect
them. This would turn the tables on
the tramp steamer that has for a long
time been making rapid strides toward
putting sailing vessels out of business.
The tug Vigilant, which has been on
Rourkes marine railway having her
bottom scraped and painted, Will prob
ably be hauled off to-day.
Newport News, Va. June 11.-Capt.
Williams of the British mule transport
Monarch, which sailed this morning for
St. John, n. B., was forced to pay $1,000
cash TO the customs officials as a fine
for allowing four stowaways to es-
cape. The men are West Indian ne
groes, and boarded the vessel at St
Lucia as she was bound from New
Orleans for South Africa. The stow
aways were duly reported at every port
and were kept aboard at Cape Town
and other stopping places under lock
and key. When the ship reached New
port News they managed to slip over
board through a portfolio. Capt Will
liams thinks there is a possibility that
they were drowned, as persistent
search has failed to reveal single
clue to their whereabouts.-Balt

GEORGIA ANDFLORIOA

Montezuma, Ca, correspondence of
the Morning News: Wednesday even
ing witnessed the close of one of the
most notable commandments in the
history of the Montezuma Public
Schools. The sermon was preached by
Rev. L. G. johnson, pastor Park Street
Methodist Church, Atlanta. The liter
airy address was delivered by Judge w.
A. Covington of Moultrie. Much credit
is due Mr.. Florence B. Williamson who
trained the students in oratory. The
declarations and plays were of high
order. Many visitors from various
places in the state were present Eleven
members of the graduating class were
given diplomas.
DRESSES MADE OF TECH CLOTH.
Atlanta Constitution: The dresses to
be worn by the graduating class of
the Girls Normal School at. Athens
have been made by the girls them
selves out of cloth made by students
OF the Georgia School of Technology in
this city. The cloth was made some
time ago. 1t was entirely designed
and weaved by the students OF the
Tech. The fabric, Which is of hand
some material, is well made and the
young ladies of the Normal School are
delighted with their pretty new
dresses. After the cloth had been
made it was sent to the Girls Normal
School in Athens. where the young la
dies took possession of 1t. Each mem
Der of the graduating class made her
own commencement dress of the ma
terial furnished by the boys of the
Tech. The boys at the School of
Technology have demonstrated that
they are as ingenious at making cloth
as they are at constructing machinery,
and the graduating class at Athens Will
be as neatly and handsomely attired
as through the dresses had been made
of cloth furnished by the best mills in
the country.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. June 13.-After a dull and
hesitating market during the great
part of to-day with isolated upward
movements here and there, the market
broadened in the final hour and moved
upwards quite generally with a con-
siderable show of strength. The activ-
ity was attributed to the same specu-
lative leader who has been concerned
in all recent important movements, and
whose return to Wall street this week
gave immediate rise to a show of
awakening. Whatever the motives of
the buYing, the bull leadership secured
larger following to-day than at any
time this week, Notwithstanding a num-
Der of news developments not imme-
diately encouraging to a rise in prices
The preliminary figures of the weeks
currency movement, which are usually
the center of interest in Fridays mar
ket, gave no promise of a strong bank
statement. The sub-treasury ABSORB
ton of 81, 100000 apparently has been
little more than offset by the balance
of receipts from the interior. This is no
indication of any considerable loan
contraction during the week. and the
time money market continues to le-
fleet the cautious desire of borrowers
to provide themselves with fixed sums
for considerable time to come.
To-day's crop news was not regarded
as favorable, owing to complaints Of
too much rain in the Southwest The
advance of a point or over in the Read
ing stocks was an important sympa-
theuc influence upon the late market
but there was no news to show a pros
pect of an early settlement of the
strike. The Increase in the demand for
stocks was incontestable. nevertheless
In some cases the movement was due
to individual causes Sugar advanced
on the oversold condition of the mar
ket for the refined product and was
benefited also by the reports of a spe-
clal presidential message to Congress
reinforcing the recommendation for Gu
ban reciprocity. There were a number
OF very large individual buying orders
for Mexican Central executed in the
early market, but the buying was not
followed up. The drop of 81 points in
General Electric was probably due to
reports of new combination of cleo
trieal manufacturing companies back
ed by influential capitalists. The stock
aIterWard rallied points. Chicago and
eastern Illinois rose Az points further
on persisting rumors Of an offer for
control. The days reports of railroad
earnings showed a continuance of the
increase over last years corresDOnd-
ing period. The market closed rather
quiet, but steady.
There was large demand for Wa
bash debenture Bs at an advance of
