Macon County's Capital.
From advices received late last night
from Oglethorpe, the rain was reported
as being very heavy. The water was
nearly into the depot office, and the
rain still falling.
3 The train arriving here at 10 o'clock
from Montgomery had orders to pro-
ceed to AndersoAville. AS the two
washouts were a mile apart, transfer
of passengers and baggage would have
been exceedingly difficult. The down
train is not expected until this
morning. The destruction near the
scene of the washouts was heavy,
d e4tailing great loss to both railroad
and the farmers. The washouts were
544 and 553 miles this side Of Macon.

He has been known for many years
as one of the greatest preachers in
the church.
Cardinal Sarto belonged to the &c.

some commission houses caused re-

traders. There was buying credited to
Armour and Cudahy. Comstock sold

Strong cables, small county offerings
and disappointing husking returns,
were the causes of the strength. The

Oats---The market was influenced by
the strength of corn and in the absence
of offerings advanced moderately.
There was a fair demand from cash

bulls. Trade was not large but this

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Heavy selling of

the price soon dropped to rs. Min

General selling of December carried
the price down to TN. while May held
relatively firm. Later the poor show

good demand for May and prices adj

at 7SA@7sS.
There was scattered demand for
both Decembesl and May corn and the
market ruled firm, December opening
ls@A higher at 4S7s to A. and later
to 44N. Shorts and commits

Provisions ruled steady. due to the
smaller receipts and the advance in

Town" the company IN a direct and
substantial way before the grant Is app
proved. The railroad commission, the
rapid transit commission and all the
authorities which have to do with these
matters have approved the franchise,
there has long been a clamor from the
residents of The Bronx for the building
of the proposed road. and it seems that
there should be no excuse why the
franchise should not be approved by
the aldermanic board. In fact. the
Tammany aldermen have given no ex-
cuse, and profess to be in favor OF
granting the franchise, yet they stay
away from the meetings of the board
when it is known that the question is
to be brought up. The Pennsylvania
tunnel franchise was held up In the
same way. Much Indignation over
this latest hold-up has been expressed,
and there Is talk of appealing to the
legislature to restrict the powers OF

brought these facts to the attention OF

the matter. There are strict regula-
lions concerning the dumping of re-

lated that the patrol boats, under line

prescriptions. and that they shall de-
