Case of sumpt9r weatherose.

To convict Sumpter Weatherose, a negro freight employe of the Southern Railway, on a charge of grand larceny, for which he was this afternoon bound over to the grand jury under a $20O bond, Special Detective Wiggins had summoned to police court the transfer clerk from Mobile Selma and the local clerk. They were used to show that a shipment of shoes out of Mobile to a store in Dora. Ala, was checked at the various points and was not disturbed until an opportu.' nifty was given in Birmingham for Weath- erose to steal two pairs of shoes which were missing from the lot
 One pair of the shoes was found in the house of weatherose. He was arrested few days ago by Detectives WigglnS and Bodeker. The railway officials are determined to break up thRt epidemic Of Fear thieving and all prosecations hence forth will be conducted vigorously.
 Two lists of names have been filed with the Jefferson County Democratic Exec utive Committee as candidates for dele gates to the State Convention. One IS headed by the name of Frank s. White. while ex-Governor Joseph F. Johnston leads the other. The latter Is looked upon by some as being put out in the interest of W R. Hearst. although on it appear names of men who are not for the mil iloEaire editor.
 At the same time 1t is known that the name of Jesse F. Stallings, chief Hearst boomer in Alabama. led the ticket as first made out but Mir. Stallings was not hert. to personally qualify, so the name of Governor Johnston was substituted. The two lists follow:

GAINESVILLE, WIS.,, Aug. 4, 1904.

The past three weeks, no doubt, have
been the quietest in the leaf tobacco
market of any corresponding period for
many years past. There have been sales
made by the leaf merchants here in
singular instance and some of them have
been of no small account, but taking it
as a general business the trade has been
of the lightest nature. But the latter
part of last week and the present there
has been decided improvement and an
old time activity has again made itself
evident. Yet there remains backward
movement and whethar it is due to the
fact that this being campaign year, when
nearly all markets are more or less stag
nant, and the failure of the 1903 crop
and also the bad effect the weather is
producing on the present growing leaf,
very few are over eager to state the
cause and only time remains to tell the
story.
The awakening here of late, neverthe-
less, put great many of the dealers in a
more pleasant mood and it would not be
surprising to see this market in better
condition from now on.
The tobacco damaged by fire here on
July 4th, owned by L. B. Carle & Son,
and which has been in the hands of the
insurance appraisers ever since, has
been finally disposed of and the purchas-
ers of the leaf were the people who set
the amount OF loss on it. The apprais-
ers took all of the goods that were in any
way damaged, and Carle & Son are more
than pleased to state that the insurance
companies took it all and that once more
no damaged tobacco remains in their
possession. The total number of cases
damaged was 1862.
Not very often do the Bower City to-
bacco men have the pleasure of enter
tanning a foreign leaf merchant but such
fourteen members of the association
most pleasantly entertained Mr.. Charles
Leoni Of London, England, and the ma
ture of the affair being picnic held at
Buckholz park some five miles up the
river. Games and toasts and good ci-
gars were INDUCED in and most pleas
ant time was spent during that after
noon. Mr.. Sanford Soverhill was the
host and the party was conveyed to the
grounds in the steam launch Lorna"
owned by Mr., Geo. Mickey.
The sales made here this week were:
Fisher & Fisher 110cs of '01 and 'O2. The
firm are also sampling a 580cs lot of Ol
this week. which was shipped here from
the northern part of the state. Geo. Ell.
Rumrill sells 206cs of l9OO-'O2 and L. 3.
Carle & Son sell 200cs of '02 and bought,
the latter part of last week, 2OOcs.
Mr.. Charles Subert of Chicago, was
visitor here last week Friday.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

GDGhhTONs w 49,, August y, 1SOt,
A few scattering transactions relieve
the monotony of the local leaf markets
otherwise there would be but little to
record IN this column. Even the late de-
live:ies bring such small prices that the
figures ought not to be quoted. A few
lots of 'O1 have been picked up of late,
the following being samples:s
VIM. Connors, 34cs at 8, 6&2c.
John Almond, lies at s, 5&2c.
David Fulton, 20cs at 71a&2c.
Old stock is moving but sparingly. s..
G. Chambers of Milton reports the sale
of 50cs lot to Binghsmton, 35cs to Day
ton and 25cs to Pennsylvania parties.
While rain has fallen in very many of
the growing sections during the week,
this immediate locality is still suffering
from drouth, and the new crop is max.
ing as satisfactory growth as elsewhere.
Some topping has commenced but the
work is not general as yet.
The shipments out of storage are
among the lightest of the year-but six
car loads for the week from this market
to all points.

New YORK, July q, 1904.

In domestic goods sampling is actively
progressing, as out -of-town buyers are
expected by the early part of August.
The chief interest from now on will be
for new binder crops-Pennsylvania
broad leaf and Connecticut broad leaf.
New crop thinner Spanish will not be
ready till little later than usual. Local
deals have been neither large nor numer-
Gus during the past week.
Sumatra.-While the great scarcity Of
light colors no doubt accounts largely
for the present extremely reduced sales,
the market is undoubtedly suffering
from the general midsummer dullness.
Vacation time is having its effect on this
as we'll as other branches of the leaf in
dustry.
Havana-The past week has shown
probably little more inquiry and inter-
est in Cuban goods, but the opinion is
expressed among some importers that
more or less stagnation will rule for an
other two months, when the factory ve-
gas should begin arriving. Stocks Of old
tobacco are considerably depleted

LANCASTER New ERA, July 26, 1907.


There was more animation in the local
market the past week than for some
time. One large packing of 1901 goods
was sold, while several other dealers sold
a number of small lots, making fair
sized aggregate, considering the general
dullness which has been prevailing. Some
of the sales made include 1903 goods,
which is also promising sign, and
which seems to indicate that last years
crop may find a market as soon as it
comes into condition. Meanwhile we
will have to scud along as best we can,
trusting that the favorable breezes may
not remain away too long. The sales
that have been reported to US are 118cs
of 1903 goods sold by John D. Skiles;
500cs of the 1901 crop sold by Benjamin
Herr: 149cs of various years sold by I.
Ell. Weaver; in all, 767cs. For the cor
responding week of last year the sales
were 250cs.
The new crop is getting along fam
ously. The abundant rains and the hot
days that haue also come with them
have had an excellent effect on the grow
ing plants. They nave been growing
right along, and, where the ground was
not too low, and, therefore, too wet, are
rapidly approaching the topping period.
But the rains are bringing out the weeds
also, and some fields have become grassy
by reason of the wet weather and the
lack of attention, which was not given
because other crops also demanded care.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Some inquiry has been reported for
filters, tops and seconds, the three poor
est grades. Well, IL is better so than no
call at all, those three grades being Of an
inferior quality, and not sweat SO much
as wrappers of any Of the grades. They
can be moved with less damage to the
goods. The other grades will, no doubt
be sought after by September, for every
pound will be wanted in due course of
time, either for the home consumption
or for the export trade. | hope that it
may be good enough to be made into ci-
gars at home. It is pity to see crop,
of which we do not raise a surplus, need
ing to be sold abroad.
The CROP as general thing, looks now
as though the yield would be fully as
much as the Department of Agriculture
has estimated especially in Franklin and
Hampshire (92 per cent?. 1t is seldom
in July that the crop has given such as
surances as at the present time. From
Lancaster, Pa, accounts OF the growing,
crop are very fattering. The report
says the plants are not large, but they
have that set on them that usually war
rants good crop. From Wisconsin the
report comes of fine start Although
not large, the plants have the look of
making good crop. They have had
plenty of showers, and the plants are
growing very fast. At this place We had
nice rain Sunday, and growers say that
plants that had hardly shown the bud
on Saturday were ready Monday morn
ing to be topped. Many of the farmers
this morning were working lively top
ping. The plants are broad and of a
dark green color, and look fine. On this
farm we went over the tobacco on about
eight acres and topped a good share of it.
Correspondents report as follows: Con-
way, Mass: 1.-THE tobacco has grown
very fast the past week. Some pieces
were getting quite dry, but we have had
a lovely rain on the nights of July %, "a,
so now there is no reason why it will not
jump right along. Quite little tobacco
was topped last week and none will be
topped this week." North Hatfield:
"The first carload of onions were shipped
today. o. Belden & Sons shipped 600
bushels E. Ell. Field and w. Ell. Belden
are getting their sets ready for ship
ment. Tobacco is doing nicely now,
and topping is the order of the day. The
hay crop is practically all in and is in
fine shape; a heavy crop and of good
quality" "-Cultivator.

NEW YoRK, July 30, 1904.


The condition of the market for the
past week does not call for any special
or extended comment. There was va
cation air about it that did not permit of
any disturbance. Neither were the con.
slant downpours conclusive to the cheer
full temperament that instigates business.
Anybody, who possibly could, remained
out of town and the orders that were
to be filled could be leisurely attended to
by the office force. But not many more
weeks of such lethargy are in view. For
as our correspondents point out, the
Western trade is preparing to shortly
swoop down on our market for their an
nual raid on the new New England
crops. And when once here the open
ing of brisk season may be expected

VIRoQUA, WIS, July %, 1904.

The past three weeks has been superb
weather for tobacco growers and in fact
all kinds of farming and crops. Tobacco
has made rapid strides and there has
already been some topping done. The
first work of this character that came to
our knowledge was done by Andrew NJ.
Hanson on his Esofea farm last Friday.
This means, no doubt, that some tobacco
will be cut and placed in the sheds dur
ing the early days of August. But there
will be nothing like general movement
along that line. So far as known all
buying of the old crop has ceased, and it
may be expected that inspectors of the
growing tobacco will be viewing the
fields very soon.-Censor.

A dispatch from Quincy, Florida, says
the tobacco crop this year promises to
be huge success. There was some un-
easiness at one time on the part OF to-
bacco growers who were rather doubtful
of the final results, but later rains dis
PEELED all fear from that source. Among
the larger planters, where irrigation was
employed, the tobacco was steadily in a
thriving condition. Pruning has been
practically completed throughout the to-
bacco growing district. Some planters,
who were not irrigating their land. found
the plants were making such slow pro-
gress that some plowed them under and
planted anew. This will delay the usual
time of harvesting, but it is now regard
ed as certain that they will have more
uniform crop than they otherwise could
have had. On the whole, tobacco grow
ing here seems to be in healthy condi-
tion.

RIO GRANDE FLOOD SWEEPS ON.

800 Homeless In One Town.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 1s.-Discouraging
reports were received here to-day OF the
food situation along the Rio Grande. The
river has overlooked It's banks for dis
TANGO Of about 500 miles and a vast stretch
of cultivated valley land is inundated.
The smaller Mexican settlements along
the river are 20 remotely situated from
telegraph and telephone communication
that little news has been obtained as to their
fate. 1t Is evident, however, according to
the reports OF the height Of the food, that
many Of these places have been destroyed.
The destruction Of Preside del Norte Is

ing there yesterday. and that gave way
to the increased force OF the flood Last night
The destruction Of that town leaves 500

DROVE NEGROES OUT OF TOWN.
Twenty Families OF Carlisle, Ind, Forced |
to Flee From o Mob.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13.-Twenty negro
families in the town Of Carlisle were driven
out last night by a mob Of white men.
To-day when one OF the number returned
and requested that the negroes be per-
mitted to live in the town he was ordered
to notify them that their goods must be re-
moved in twenty-four hours on penalty
Of having their houses burned.
Jasper Hammond, a negro farmer living
near the town, had a quarrel with some
members OF his race. He hourshed a
large knife and dared the colored people
to come out Of their houses Constable
johnson attempted to arrest Hammond,
but he resisted and was shot by johnson
in the leg. The wounded man fed, but
was afterward arrested at his home and
hurried to Sullivan to prevent a mob.
which was rapidly forming, from hanging
him.
When 1t was learned that Hammond
had been taken away the mob turned upon
the other negroes In the town. broke open
their doors. smashed the windows and put
the occupants to fight. BY midnight tho
town had been completely depopulated Of
negroes, and several Of them had been
badly hurt as they ran from the mob.
The whites say they are determined that
no negroes shall live In the town and Ham
mond shall not return to his farm.

He leaves we'll satisfied with conditions In
the West, but not 80 confident that he will
permit'the work to stop at Western head
quarters.
Mr.. Cortelyous one order has been to
keep at it. He does not believe the out
come OF the election can be forecasted with
any degree OF certainty until the Demo-
Gratis have had their innings. This will not
be until Oct. 81. BY that time the cam
paign will be practically finished by both
Sides
The general campaign Is to begin Dot. l..
In some few States beginning will be
made by local managers within the next
few days. This is true OF Ohio, Iowa, Ne
braska and Minnesota. The State cam
paigps are already under way In Kansas.
Wyoming, Utah, Washington and Cali
fornia.
In Indiana the State managers Of both
parties have been pushing things In q mild
way, but no speakers Of national repute
have yet been imported by the Democrats
or the Republicans. This Ii the case also In
Illinois.
The Republican managers are willing to
postpone the opening Of the national CAM
paign In the West until Oct. /, and will do
90 unless the Democrats take the fold be-
fore that date.
