CANTAL 0UpES BRINGING
GOOD PRICES.
The Crop short but the Fruit Il
Fine.

f1nes
Albany, Ga, June 21.-The finest
cantaloupes ever grown in Southwest
Georgia are being shipped to the
Northern and Eastern markets. Grow
ers and commission men are enthus-
iastic over the quality of the fruit.
which is now going forward in con-
siderable quantities.
The crop is % to 80 per cent. short,
but what is lacking in the volume of
the melons being shipped, and to be
shipped is compensated for in their
improved quality. The spring season
has been the dryest every experienced
in this section, and short crop of
cantaloupes and watermelonS was the
inevitable consequence. But nothing so
materially contributes to the develop
ment of perfect cantaloupes as a dry
spring season, and therefore the mel
ons now ripening have a flavor that is
pronounced perfect. The melons, fur
thermore, are of nearly uniform size.
running forty-five to the crate.
The demand is sharp in all the mar
kets, and the ruling price is So to s3.50
per crate. At this rate the crop will
prove highly profitable, in spite of the
fact that the yield is short. 1t is es
timated that about $50 carloads of
Rocky Ford cantaloupes will be shin
ped from the Albany district
before the close of the season. which
viii continue through the greater part
of July.

ANSWER OF RAILROADS
MADE To THE ALLEGATIONS or
ATLANTA MERCHANTS.

siOn's Hearing of the Case win
Continue To-day.
Atlanta. June 81 The railroads filed
their respective answers to-day with
the Railroad Commission to the COM
plant by the Atlanta Freight Bureau
of unjust freight discrimina tons
against Atlanta.
Extended and detailed replies were
made. Traffic representatives of each
of thu roads filed a joint answer, in
which they called attention to the fact
that they had reduced the rates on GER
tain commodities from Atlanta to Sa-
vannah and Brunswick. though not in
the opposite direction. The reductions
made amounted to about 25 per cent.
on molasses. syrup. baking powder,
canned goods and cereals. The rail-
roads complained that to reduce the
rates as asked by the Atlanta mer-
chants would necessitate reductions in
all rates within the states. and would
mean an annual loss in revenue of more
than $4,000. 900. They claimed the pres
ent rates were just and reasonable. and
were based on sound business propo-
sitions.
Several of the railroad men were cali
ell TO the witness stand and the hear
ing will be continued tomorrow.
ChattahoOehee Robbed of Waters.
AS the result of the stopping of the
flow Of the Chattahoochee river to fill
the big dams at Gainesville and at Bull
Sluice. about twenty miles north of
Atlanta. the river near Atlanta has run
almost dry. 1t can be waded at almost
any point. The bed Of the river is filed
with Shiny mud and trash. and many
fish are dying. On this account grave
fears are expressed regarding the
health of the city. The city water all
comes from the Chattahoochee river
and were it not for a relay reservoir.
IL is said that the city's water supply
would almost be cut off.
Columbus has suffered severely as a
result and complaints are general all
along the river.
The situation, it is thought, will be-
come serious If some action is not
taken at once.

BECKwITH SEES MRS. CHADWICK.
Ruined Bank President Calls on Her
in Her Cell.


Cleveland, o., Dec. 16.-Mrs. Chad
wicks first day in the county jail was
a busy one for her. She received sew
eral visits from her attorneys, held
long conferences with them, conversed
with newspaper men, and for fifteen
minutes stood face to face with Presi-
dent Beckwith of the Oberlin bank,
who has had much trouble through his
financial transactions with her.
The meeting was dramatic. The
banker, who had for hours been before
the county grand jury, went to the
office of Sheriff Berry and asked II he
might see Mrs. Chadwick. The sheriff
readily consented, and Mrs. Chadwick
was eager to meet him. Accompanied
by Mrs. Beckwith, who, owing to her
husbands ill health, is always by his
side, the old banker made his way
slowly and feebly UP the long flights OF
stairs leading to Mrs. Chadwick's cell.
She met him at the entrance of the
corridor and shook hands with him
cordially.
After some general conversation Mr..
Beckwith referred to their business re-
lations by saying:
MRS. Chadwick, you have ruined
me; but I'm not so sure yet you are a
fraud. I have stood by you to my last
dollar, and L do think now that the
time has come for you to make known
everything in relation to this thing"
Beckwith'S voice betrayed deep emo
ton as he spoke, and he leaned heavily
on the arm of his wife, who was al
most compelled to support him, so
great was his physical weakness Mrs.
Chadwick did not reply directly to the
words of Mr.. Beckwick, but her man
ner and the look on her face were not
conciliatory. Seeing that she would not
answer, Mr.. Beckwith went on:
II have always told you that 1 did not
like it because you changed your lawyers
so often. Why don't you get good one
and stick to him?"
''I have reasons for that"
Have you heard from Judge Olcott re-
cently?' was Mr.. Beckwith's next ques-
mot since left New York" was Mrs.

then both said they hoped the matters

be eventually Strengthened out. The in

An application for an additional receiver
for the Chadwick estate was made in the
common pleas court by the Savings De-
posit Banking and Trust company of Ely
ria, O., which has brought suit against
Mrs. Chadwick on two notes of S25, 600 and
$4,000. respectively.
Mrs. Chadwick retained the attorney

is called for trial in the federal court. He

2O3 Metre Hill Dearly Bought
by the Japanese.

Chefoo, Dec. 16.-Passengers who
arrived here today from the Kwang-
tung peninsula confirm the truthful
ness of the official japanese reports of
the sinking of various Russian ships
recently at Port Arthur. They say
the japanese would have been able
to accomplish this in the past two
months but apparently preferred to
use their guns against the Russian
military forces. 1t is believed the de-
struction of the Russian ships indi-
Gates that the Japanese have aban-
doned the hope of capturing the fort
ress.
The Japanese lost three torpedo
boats within the past month by mines,
the last one sinking during the night
attack of December IA on the Russian
battleship Sevastopol.
The fighting during which 203
Metre hill was captured was terrific,
that achievement alone costing the
Japanese IL, 900 casualties.
The Japanese have been unable to
occupy the hill except for observa-
tions. They have taken none of the
remaining forts. Steamers laden with
ammunition and provisions ran the
blockade of Port Arthur in the past
fortnight and there are high hopes
that the fortress will hold out for
many months. The Japanese are
alleged to be depressed at their I'M
successful sacrifice of lives.
