Georgia Honors Rev. @. ]. COPELAND.

The following dispatch from Waynes.
boro, Ca, dated june %, will be of in
terest to the many Oconee friends of
Rev. o. j. !Copeland:
"Rev. o. j. Copeland, the popular
young pastor of the Baptist church here,
has been appointed chaplain of the First
Regiment. He received the commission
from headquarters this morning, and it
comes in the way of a very pleasant sur
the State. Mr. Copeland came to
Waynesboro from Anderson, S. c., and
the people here are satisfied that the
Palmetto State has lost one of her
worGhiest sons. 1t was through his in
fiuence and efforts that the money for a
$4,000 church was subscribed. The citi-
zens of Waynesboro are sensible of this
high compliment and feel that it has
been deservedly bestowed.''

RENEWAL OF LIQUIDATION
Selling of the Steel Stocks is Not Ex-

New York, Sept. 25.-Yesterday's
liquidation in the stock market was
very generally renewed at the opening
today and further severe declines were
registered. All United States Steel is
sues dropped to new low records, COM
mon stock selling as low as 1873. Pre-
bonds We're quoted at II X, a drop of y
LOT a cen from yesterdays low price.
The market steadied soon after the
opening on buying orders. which
seemed In the nature OF support, ana
were said to emanata from strong
quarters. There was also a great deal
of short covering. and ave for slight
reactions the market continued steady
UP 10 noon at prices slightly below the
top. Business showed a marked falling
off from the early activity. Shortly
after noon the market again declined
as a result of another drop in steel
stocks. which carried them still lower.
Common sold at 16, preferred at SOFA
and 5 per cent bonds at IL. Selling OF
these securities was very general and
unexplained. The rest of the list went
down in sympathy.
The Evening Post said today: Prom

make 1t unusually trustworthy. They
made an unequivocal statement today
that the situation had developed no
dangerous features and that no single
stock exchange house was in the slight

ever, that the feeling of uncertainty
prevailing in most quarters had given
rise to many runlors all of which wee

The attack on United States Steel at

AMERICAN FRUIT IN EUROPE.
Partial Failure Of Crop Abroad Makes
the Demand Good.

London, Sept. 25.-The United States
is reaping profit from the storms which
made the past summer one of the worst
on record in Great Britain and the
continent. Thanks 10 the ruined home
crops, California fruit Is being inn
ported In larger quantities than aver be
fore. The sales In London last week
marked a record with $4,000 boxes of
American fruit. representing about
$4,000 pounds weight.
The fruit was sold at a two DAYS
auction. in Covent Garden market, the
price averaging 80 per cent above what
has heretofore been obtained here. The
sales was chiefly of California pears
and plums. with a fair consignment of
New York state Bartlett pears.
There is practically no English fruit
o~btainable, while France. which usually
exports large quantities of pears to
England. is sending none.
The American section of Covt.nt Gar
den market is now almost the sole
source of supply, and there are no signs
OF the demand decreasing. American
apples which heretofore could not be
proftably shipped hither until later in
the year, now have a brisk trade.
Forty-two thousand barrels of Canada
apples are expected In London at the
end of the week, and record prices arr
assured.
a member of the most prominent En-
giish firm dealing in foreign fruit said.
There has never been anything like

good to America. We are spending

box, disposing of double as mach Cal
ifornia fruit as we ever did before ct
prices ranging from 20 to 80 per cent
higher.
"We have no difficulty in securing all
we want from America, but we can
scarcely order quickly enough. Here
tofore California fruit has been more
an adjunct to E~ngland's supply thai a
serious factor in the market. Now. w
ing to the failure OF French fruit and
the complete loss of the home crop, the
American branch of the market is
watched more eagerly than any other.
How disastrous the present season
has been to English growers may be
Judged by u letter in which a fruit far
mer in one of the best counties in Eng
land says that on eleven acres. all de-
voted to green cages, the fruit on only
three ripened. There is III wonder that
the shipments of American fruit are
well received"

Daring Leap From Bridge.
ST Louis Sept. 25.-Clarl Morgan,
nineteen years old. OF burlington. Ia,
who is visiting Mrs. G. /. Shepard, OF
Edwardsyille, H., saved her own life
and the life of Mrs. Shepa1d's four
vear-old child by jumping from a rail
road trestle yesterday afternoon. Miss
Morgan started out with Lila, her hos
tess little daughter. for a walk in the
country.
They strolled about for more than an
hour and went a considerable distance
from home. AS they started back, Miss
Morgan decided to axe a short cut by
crossing the long Glover Leaf %trestle-
which spans the Mooney valley. There
is a curve a short distance from the
bridge.
The young woman n little child
were about half way across the trestle
when a train whirled around the curve
and bore down upon them There is
not enough room on the ties, for a per-
son to stand and let a train go by and
the ties are too close together to en-
able anyone to climb down between the
supports. There was only one chance
and that was to jump. Holding little
Leila tightly, the young woman closed
her eyes and gave the leap. They
landed in a soft clay bank neither OF
them being injured. The engineer, who
had seen the jump, brought the train
to a stop and the trainmen ran to the
young wonan's assistance, but found
that she needed none and was able 10
walk home alone.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Wheat-Tfe mar
ket today has been disappointing to
bulls, who were encouraged at the start
by the steady cables and large export
business of yesterday. The market
held very steady during the early ses-
sion, and prices advanced to u TO &
above yesterday. Later the market
eased off In absence of supporting ord
and early buyers sold out their
wheat and caused a break of over /
cent from the top. Foreigners were
buyers in this market early on a fairly
large scale; New York reported foreign
buying there. Favorable weather con-
ditions and favorable reports from
abroad were against the market. Mod
ern miller also was construed as mod
erately bear!sh. More long whe at came
out today on stops from tired holders.
The market rallied close on reports of
export business and closed stes dy with
a good part of the decline recovered.
Corn-There has been a big trade in
corn today, md the market WIS irreg-
ular and ervous Market showed a
very steady tone early, and advanced to
y owe yesterday on heavy and good
puyiHs pS Cash HouSes, aH0 general
commission house buying. Later in the
session the market weakened on local
selling. and later by commission houses
which resulted In loss of over l cent
from top. During the last hour of the
session the market rallied with wheat
and on reports OF export business,
which resulted In a good part OF the de-
cline being recovered. Shorts were
about the best buyers at the close.
