Some of the less prominent stocks
which have enjoyed violent advances
in the last few days were forced back
with proportional violence in the days
realizing. The Electric stocks and the
high priced coalers were in this list.
The New York public utilities were
also markedly reactionary. The Read

ings showing a decrease of 1872, 900 for
all the companies compared with last
year hurt the coalers. The speculation
in United States Steel preferred was
very active throughout the day and
was accompanied by many rumors as
to the coming dividends to be decided
early next month.
The feverish and excited cotton mar
ket had some disturbing effect in the
stock market. The closing was dull
and heavy, but at considerable re-

which held it in check on the declines,

Augusta Tribune: Another of the
few remaining mansions of ante-bel-

flames yesterday morning. This was
the residence of Mr.. Slidell Nixon, near
Richmond Hill, about seven miles from
the city on the Plank road. The fire
originated from a defective fiue, about
8 o'clock in the morning, and the
spread of the fire was so rapid that al
most nothing was saved out of the
house, which was a large one and
splendidly furnished. The loss was
heavy estimated to amount to not less
than $4,000, though fortunately there
was insurance aggregating $1,000 on
the property.

Ferry HauIs e, 900 People monthly.

The Seaboard Air Line ferry Eclipse
is doing some remarkable work for
small boat. She handles 10000 per-
soas month. and yet to enter her one
would not think this were possible in
view of her small dimensions. She is
allowed to take fifty passengers, but
if it were lawful she could carry twice
this number with the risks incident to
the larger load.
I'VE have our rush trips, the same
as all other ferry boats do" said the
captain. Around to in the morn
ing we have the morning rush of
clerks and others making their way to
the Seaboard Offices Before them
come the laborers, and persons con-
nected with the ships loading. At
noon we call daily for over thirty
clerks at the Seaboard offices. There
are regular hours for all to be on the
go, and we know about when to ex-
pect the heavy movement. The boat
is thoroughly able to haul the crowd
as long as traffic does not materially
increase. But the time will come soon
when a boat carrying 500 persons will
be needed to take care of the steadily
increasing traffic to the island by peo-
pie having business over there"
