 pires in New Mexico.
 MT. Carnot Bell, a well known, and universally liked young nean of Mont- gomery, died yesterday morning at Raton. New Mexico. Where ne went four weeks ago for the benefit of his failing health.
 Details of his death are meagre. Friends in Montgomery received tele- gram stating the dissolution but no indications were given as to when the body would reach Montgomery:
 MT. Bell was born and reared n Montgomery. He was the eldest son of Bushrod Bell. ore of the pioneers of Montgomery. At the time of his death. Mir. Bell was nearing his thir- tieth year.
 For four years he had been in i'll health. He sought relief in the high Rockies and returned home apparently a well man. He soon returned West however, and there contracted typhoid fever His constitution was severely weakened by the disease which caused a rapid approach of his death. He re- turned to Montgomery but went back to the Southwest in April.
 MT. Bell was by profession a phar- macist end was regarded as very capable man. He was a member of the Montgomery Greys, and was at one time an officer on the staff of Col F.. H. Graves. commanding the End Ala bama Regiment.
 He is survived by his father, who lives In Oregon. and one brother, wno resides in Montgomery.

Washington. May 12.
 Joseph l.. Bristow, who since his re- sistant Postmaster General has been travelling over the United States as we'll as Central America, gathering statistics and other information and recommendations pertaining to the use of the Panama Railroad as an adJunct of the canal and on the subject Of rates to the isthmus, has returned to wash ington. For the next month or so he (. will be busily engaged in preparing his report which is. to be submitted to to Seer seGFetdry tbs IhI afn 9h viii deter mine what its policy shall be in re- gard to the Panama Railroad. ,,
 Mir Bristow has visited Panama, all of the Central American Republics, in cluding Mexico, the States Of CailIoro or mia, Washington and Oregon and the eities ,ae of New and 1ork csaiSnston nsn At each point visited ho made diligent inqu1ry on the subject of rates with view to determining the cheapest route 0 or hnnS snrPI He also asked the various c0mmerciai bodies to send to him certain informa- renorts rt1m d which will be incorporated in his report to the Secretary of War.
 q have just received an interesting and important n report from saI, Mr She BrisI tow this afternoon, and It soppleInI.enttS tS what I gathered during my visit 10 that city the other day of Interest to the city in regard to commerce. by way of Panama. The report was carefully read and the information con tained in it is very satisfactory to me. There is nothing in it for publication at this time.
 Mobile also Is urging the Canal Commission to recognize the adyan- tages of that port. Messrs. J. F. K. Will son and H. H. Wefol, Jr., who came here to request a large share Of the trade to the isthmus, were told that arran gernents were being made so that patronage of any sort would be left to individual bidders ard they doubt they could ship materials to the best advantage. If that place be Mobile, as the representatives argued, 1t would doubtless secure the patronage.

THIS MARITAL MIxUP
TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE.
A Man Accuses Woman of Stealing
Spoons and She Charges Him with
Trucking Her Into Mock Marriage.

Chicago.-The matrimonial muddles
of Leon Lewis. music hall manager, and
Paula Hermes. vocalist" proved too
much for Justice Caverly to solve off,
hand, and therefore the hearing of Paula
on charge of stealing the family
spoons was continued. In the meantime
II is up to Leon to prove he actually is
Paula's husband.
HE my husband? Well, should say
not" said Paula. HE tricked me into
thinking l was married to him, but dis
covered my mistake last summer. And
as for his spoons they were his first wife's
spoons, and he gave them to me-"
At this point Lewis clamored for a
hearing, but the magistrate silenced
him.
ut was this way" continued Paula.
1.-TWO years ago l met Mr.. Lewis, and he
appeared to be perfect gentleman. He
told me he had got divorce from Hazel,
who owned the spoons, and would
marry him. Well. he got to be such a
nuisance l SAID would just to get him TO
stop Fostering me-"
"She was crazy to have me marry
, her." Lewis shouted. Paula ignored the
! interruption.
! so We got marriage license, and
then Mr.. Lewis said we would step into
| Justice VOLTS courtroom and be mar
ried. l wasn't as wise then as am now.
/ When we got into the courtroom he told
| me to sit down near the door while he
! fixed it up with the justice. In minute
7 he came back and said it was all right;
| that we were married.
What, so soon?' asked him
| Sure he said.
Then we went to housekeeping out in
Sheffield avenue, and Mr.. Lewis gave me
the spoons and said they were mine to
keep. lived with him until August, and
| then a friend told me wasn't married at
all and that Mr. Lewis had played trick
on me-"
make her tell who the friend was,
your honor" said Leon
20, I'd just as soon tell" continued
Paula. 1T was Mr.. George Wilson, who
is foreman at livery stable and a per-
| feet gentleman, if l say it that shouldn't,
seeing that I'm married to him. Yes, ]
married him just as soon as 1 found Mr..
Lewis had fooled me-
| Lewis declined to narrate the details
| of his marriage" while insisting the
| ceremony had been regular. No record
/ of the ceremony, however, could De
l found at Justice VOLTS courtroom.
Il viii give you just ten days to prove
| that you are actually married to this
woman" said Justice Caverly. I'm in
| clined to believe you're a trifer"

THE LEADING PEACH STATE
Georgia Has That Distinction Accord
ing to Banker of That State Who
Has Been Investigating.

Georgia banker who has been in
vestigating the status of the peach in
dustry of the country says:
Some kind friend, whose name has
eluded us, sent a lot of peaches to the
convention of the Georgia Bankers as
ISOLATION. This reminds us that the
Georgia peach has held the lead in the
eastern market since 1902, and it is
likely to be for years to come the lead
ing peach state in the union. The SUI
premacy has been wrested from Mary
land. Twelve years ago the order of the
chief peach producing states was. Mary
land, 100000 trees; Delaware. 4.52U.-
600; New Jersey, 1900 200; Georgia,
3,700,009.
Since that time the peculiar excel
lenco Of soil and climate of parts nj
Georgia for peach growing has been es-
tablished. with the result that Georgia
has largely increased the number of ITS
peach-bearing trees. while in the other
states there has been a diminution in
the number of trees. In the fall of
1901, the number Of peach trees report.
cd in these states, and expected to be
in good bearing in 1902. was: Georgia.
7.66O,OOO; Maryland, 4.015.OOO New
Jersey, 2,700000; Delaware. 2.4O0. 900. In
the following year accordingly Georgia
had the bumper crop. She has so far
surpassed all other states in number of
trees that she is likely to continue to he
the peach state par excellence for An in
definite time"
