The large speculative interests who
have most quiescent. 1t is probable
that the reception given to the formal
announcement of the Rock Island plan

organization of the method of control

other to an uncomfortable extent. The
fear OF an unfavorable showing by
the banks in to-morrow's statement
was another restraining influence upon
speculation. After Rock Island and
Colorado Fuel quoted down, and made
some recovery, there was an improve
ment in the general market and a few
stocks became strong and helped the
general market. st. Paul, New York
Central, the local fractions. Western
Union and American Smelling were
amongst these.
But the effect upon the general mar
ket was very slight at any time. Ca
bled reports showed easier money con-
ditions abroad with the passing of the
month end requirements, and foreign
exchange was easier here. This gave
rise to hopes that the gold export
movement would be checked next week
and helped the hardening tendency of
the stock market The forecast of the
bank statement indicates a decline in
cash reserves of over 50 900 600, the
loss by gold exports and sub-t treasury
operations of $4S96.000 having been
partly offset by receipts from the in
terror on balance. The market closed

the proper place, a memorial of the
heroic self-sacrifice of Mr.. Dennis Ca

save the life of little Dallas kitchens.
Hon Henry Hammond has consented
to take the lead in the matter and the
most prominent men IN the city. as
we'll as the most humble, are contrib

form the memorial is to take-whether

BABY's BODY FOUND IN WELL.

Wednesday morning the body of
baby girl was found in an old dis
used well in the heart of Dalton Mr..
Brown Smith went to the well and
drew some water for his cow and
with the bucket brought up blood
stained woman's skirt. Investigation
deV eloped the body of an infant girl,
with a strong cord about it's neck
which had cut deep into the flesh.
Upon investigation before the coro-
ners jury it appeared that the body
must have been in the well for two
weeks or more. That in the midst OF
the residence district of the city an
infant white child had been choked
TO death and thrown into waterv
grave The affair caused considera-
bic excitement in the neighborhood,
but no clue can be found to indicate
the perpetrator.

ST. Augustine Record: A colored
man was out spearing founders on the
beach Monday night. He observed
something dark outlined against the
sand. Holding his breath and with
every muscle under control, he care
fully poised his spear. The supposed
founder never even winked. Like a
flash of lightning the spear descended
Instead of a yell of triumph over his
accurate aim he emitted a howl of
pain-the spear struck the mark, but
the mark was one of his feet. In
future he will probe gently before
spearng a founder.

HON. H. f. DAY TO run AGAIN.

Hon. II. e. DAILY, one of the present
railroad commissioners of Florida,
having failed to receive a majority of
the votes cast in the recent primary
has announced that he will be a candi-
date in the second primary to be held
Aug. II. In his card, published in the
Daily Capital of Tallahassee Thursday,
he sets forth his position pretty plain
ly. He states that the chief objection
to him seems to be that he is rail-
road man. Mr.. Day readily acknowl-
edges that such is the case, and pro-
ceeds to show the folly of a railroad
commission without a single railroad
man on it. He then makes the state
ment that the proposition was recently
made to him in Jacksonville, when it
was supposed that he would not run
in the second primary, that if he would
remain a s secretary of the prospective
commission a bill would be put
through the next Legislature ncreas-
ing the salary of secretary from 81 200
to $500 year, this proposition being
based on the ground that as the pros
pective member knew more about poll
tics than they did about railroading
they would find his services Valua BILE.
This proposition he decline taking the
position that if his services and expe-
rience were to be utilized by the COM
mission it must be as a member of that
body and not as an employee. The Of
fer was compliment to him, he holds,
but an insult to the intelligence of the
people of Florida. Mr.. Day then pro-
ceeds to discuss the necessity for the
Railroad Commission and it's recent
work in behalf Of the people of Flor
ida

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


The German bark Charlotte is at the
wharves near Bacon's lumber mills
above the city discharging cargo of
China clay. This is the first cargo of
this material brought to Savannah for
some time. The shipment belongs
TO an Atlanta concern, and is stored
here. being shipped out as sold. 1t
is used by cotton mills for bleaching
purposes, and is also in demand
among other industries. 1t is of light
color.
When a ship takes cargo largely for
the purpose of having ballast nothing
better than pYrites can be secured
according to an old seaman. In this
he vas not mistaken. if its weight is
the virtue claimed for pVrites. When
vessel was discharging above the
city some time ago. a bystander in
quired as to the weight of this sub
stance. 1t appears to he no heavier
than the same quantity of earth. But
II was found to weigh almost equal
to lead for the same quantity. 1t will
certainly hold a vessel in the water.

Senator Spo oner.

There have been some puerile
attempts in some quarters of the
state recently to discredit Senator
Spooner. The idea is in itself al
most ludicrous. The reputation of
the senior Senator of Wisconsin is
established and beyond the perad-
venture of injury. Attempts to be-
little the man or besmirch his record
will be absolutely futile. The in
jury of such attempts will rebound
to the instigators. People will
refer the occasion of such attacks
upon Senator Spooner to envy or
imbecility. He is recognized all
over the United States as one of the
very first statesmen i'll the Republic.
Has he a peer in Wisconsin? Who
can succeed him and fill his place ?
Who are these that are presuming
to intimate that s'there are others?"
There is no substantial opposition to
Senator Spooner. He will remain
in the Senate as long as the Repub-
lican party is in the majority in this
state if he can be induced to remain.
The brilliant record of John c..
Spooner in the United States Senate
his superb craftsmanship, recog-
nized and commended by the whole
nation-suggests to the Republicans
Of Wisconsin the wisdom of retain
ing and sustaining him.

and those making the mention. The
candidacy of r. J. Flint for secre-
tary of state is pronounced and the
announcement means business. Mr..
Flint is strongly endorsed for this
office by the delegates to the recent
county convention in Dunn county
and the press of this section of the
state are as strongly for him. He is
not only favorably mentioned by the
Republican editors of the northern
part of the state but by them his
nomination is insisted upon. To ex-
patiate upon his fitness for the office
or the claims he has upon the party
would be to repeat what everyone
who is acquainted with him already
knows. To those who are not
cognizant of his qualifications for
the responsible duties of secretary of
state the evidence is at hand in the
record he has made for himself. AS
to the claims he has upon his party
for recognition and reward those
intimate with the political history OF
the state know. He has advocated
orthodox Republication in his news
paper for a generation.
