CHICAGO MARK ETs.

Chicago Jan. 3O.-A buoyant corn
pit was the dominant factor in the
grain markets to-day, and for a time
tended to lift all prices. But though
bullish sentiment seemed to have taken
hold of speculation, higher prices
tempted profit-taking, and the close

INSPECTOR PYLE CONVICTED.

Gainesville Sun: w. NJ. Pyle, the
man who has been breaking into the
property of merchants and other con-
signees in this city, and who claims
the authority from the power which a
certain unrecognized association or
corporation delegates to him to do so,
was yesterday found guilty of mali
cious trespass by a jury before Judge
Mason. While Pyle had as fair a
trial as could have been given him in
a court, and while he was defended
by one of the ablest lawyers in the
state, the men by whom he was en-
ployed and who made the assertion at
the Brown House Sunday that they
would see their agent through and
would be present at the trial yester-
day. deserted their paid agent of what
the jury termed disreputable practices,
and left the city before he had been
tried. 1t was apparent that they had
determined after a consultation that
Pyle had exceeded his authority and
did not want to be too prominently
connected with the case. AS a result,
there was no way of positively proving
even so much as the existence of the
wonderful Southern Weighing and In
spection Bureau, which has, contrary
to law and in an insolent way, dele
gated to itself the authority of open
ing the packages and boxes of ship
pers after they have reached their des-
tfnation

ELoRIpA,s cANTALouPE cRoP.

The refrigerator car companies op-
Grating in Florida have just completed
a carefully compiled census OF the
probable acreage of watermelons and
cantaloupes. The figures show that
there will be a much larger acreage
this year than there ever has been
in the past, and that there will be
melons grown in some parts of the
state where this branch of truck farm
ing has never been attempted. In
what is known as the cantaloupe belt
of Florida there will be 200 acres of
cantaloupes and about that many
acres of watermelons. In preparing
the statistics but little attention has
been taken in reference to the water
melon acreage, as the refrigerating car
companies are not so greatly interest
ed in this crop. The acreage of can't
aloupes has been given as follows:
Martin, 800 acres; Rochelle, 140 acres;
McMeekin, 200 acres; Gainesville, 700
acres; Alachua. 200 acres, and New
berry 700 acres. If this crop is as
successful this year as 1t was last
it will bring to the state over a mil
lion dollars.

GUBERNAT0RIAL COMMENT.

Athens Banner: With Turner out OF
the question, Estill seems to be the
South Georgia candidate for Governor.
Terrell and Guerry might be called
Middle Georgia candidates.
Athens Banner: There are many
who believe that the gubernatorial
race will be a triangular contest be-
tween Guerry, Terrell and Estill.
Americus Times Recorder: The
Times Recorder coneurs with the
Thomasville Times Enterprise in the
following opinion, which is timely and
well said:
col. Estill is right; a joint discus
sion between the candidates for Gov
ernor would not result in any good.
They generally degenerate into per-
sonalities and unnecessary chickering's.
Let every candidate tote his own skill
> let in way to suit himself"
Walton News and Messenger: Guer-
ry says, II am for state prohibition, l
don't want any barrooms anywhere -
Terrell says, II am for local option,
but If the people want state prohibition
| will not veto the bill" Estill says.
II am opposed TO state prohibition, the
license system under strict police regu-
lations is the way to control the whis-
ky traffic"

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


A survey was held on the Norwegian
bark Spes yesterday. The board con-
sisted of Port Warden Jerome Sulli
van, Capt. Duns of the Norwegian
bark D. B. Metcalf. and Mr.. Murray
Stewart, representing Lloyd's. The
Spes was found to be seaworthy, and it
was recommended that she be reloaded
and proceed on her voyage to Goole.
She has a cargo of logwood from Be
lese. The seams above the water line
will be caulked and other necessary
repairs made The vessel has about
47O tons of logwood, some 430 tons of
which have been discharged. She has
been in port about three weeks, hav-
ing put in here leaking while bound
from Belese TO GOole.
"Discharging animals is an easy
task" said an old stevedore yesterday
when incidentally discussing handling
them through Savannah. If a vessel
anchors short distance from shore
the thing to do is to swing them over
board and let 'em swim ashore. This
they will do, and there is no trouble in
corralling them when they get there.
A cargo may be discharged ten times
faster this way than by leading them
ashore"
After an extremely exciting expert
ence in a southeast gale off Cape Hat
teras, in which several of her spars and
sails were carried away, the four
master schooner Independent. Capt
Case, arrived at Baltimore Tuesday
The vessel sailed on Jan. 9 from
Tampa, Fla, with sphosphate rock.
When between Point Lookout and Hat
teras, a south -by-southeast gale sprung
up and lasted for ten hours. Capt.
Case said the wind struck with force
enough to throw a small vessel on her
beam ends. 1--WE shortened sail as
quickly as possible" he continued
I'm a few minutes the storm was hur-
ricane, and the waves soon began to
wash the decks. The flying jib-stay was
carried away and the foreboon was
shivered into splinters, a bad leak was
made in the rudder posthole and the
wheel box was washed away. As the
great rollers broke upon the deck for
ward and rushed aft the cabin doors
were forced open and the cabin was
flooded. The davits were bent and
broken, but we managed to save the
small boat which hung from them.
The hurrican blew itself out in about
ten hours. We stuck to our course. and
were not set back to any great extent" "

STATE AUDITOR CROUTER ON
THE FINANCES OF COLORADO

/ ing no information except statement
of taxes remitted to the state treasur-
er. The report recommends travel
ing auditor TO investigate the different
county and state institutions. 1t rec
ommends that the money accruing
from the game fund be held intact for
appropriation, or turned into the gem
cral revenue fund for the redemption
of warrants.
1t is further recommended that the
fees collected by the boiler inspector
be turned into the treasury. The cor
poration license tax department has
been a source of disappointment so far
as the amount of revenue derived is
concerned. Since the act was amend
ed and taxation lowered, the income
has been insignificant in comparison
with other departments. Mr.. Crouter
/ recommends that the taxation. be
changed to the original fee, or the de-
partmem abolished. The report speaks
of the salary Of the auditor. $500 and
recommends an increase to $4,000.
Because the large corporations re
fused to pay taxes upon their 1901 as
sessments, except in a few counties
where compromise has been effected,
the auditor finds 1t difficult to make ac-
curate estimate of the excess revenues
that win accrue to the general revenue
fund for 1901 and 1902. Should the
corporations pay fifty per cent. of the
taxes charged against them, the report
estimates an excess revenue of about
100000 for the biennial period. after
having paid all the appropriations.
The auditor recommends an appropria-
ton of this money for the payment of
deficiency claims of previous admins
I 4. a.. g
standing warrants of previous
years.
Mr.. Crouter calls attention to the ex-
cellent record of the insurance depart
ment. and reports an increase of s42,-
923.57. The floating debt of the state
has been decreased over 100000 in the
last two years. Should this record be
maintained, II will be only a few years
before the state will be on cash basis.
