Georgia Cotton Crop Badly
Damaged.

Atlanta Journal After a tour
of inspection through middle
and south Georgia, Commission
er OF Agriculture Thomas G.
hudson returned to Atlanta
Sunday pight, bringing with him
a truly alarming story as to the
CONDITION OF the cotton crop. He
says 1t will be damaged In Geor-
gla by from % to 40 per cent.
His view is based upon actual
conditions as he observed them,
and is not prompted by any eff
tort to boost the price, or bull
the market.
"The cotton crop in Georgia
will not exceed 800, 900 bales,"
said Commissioner Hudson.
"Three weeks ago there was
every reason to believe that we
would raise between 100000
and 3,00O,000. but the farmers
of the state will be lucky if the
crop yields over million and a
half bales, in my opinion.
81 have never in all of my
experience with farming seen
such havoc done in so short a
time," he continued. "The cot
ton crop in manv sections has
been literally burned up, and
everywhere it has bsen damaged
more or less bv the heat and
drOuth. Some of it looks as if a
fire had been built and burned
under the stalks.

New York's --latest Sensation
r olicet think Burglar who
was Killed was Woman
Killer.

New York, Sept. 5.-A second
Johann Hoch, the police believe,
has been discovered in Henry
Hoffman, he burglar who was
killed while attempting to rob
Charles Varrell's fat early last
Friday morning.
The police on Saturday de-
clared that Hoffman was tn e
murderer of Sophy Heckler, a
servant girl found dead August
3rd, and tonight they announce
the belief that he also murdered
: Mrs. Lena Schum, who was
killed in Brooklyn August Goth.
Among the jewelry in the
room Hoffman had occupied for
some time before he was killed,
were pair OF ear rings which
were to-day positively identi
fed.
Samuel Wineberg, a tailor
whose shop is on the ground
floor of the building in which
Hoffm an roomed after the killing
of Sophy Heckler. to day identi-
fed Hoffman's body as that of a
man who went 10 his shop on
August 21st, the day after Mrs
Schum was killed, with Goa,
which he wanted cleaned. The
coat, Wineberg said, was badly
blood stained.
Hoffman's method, like that
of Hoch, the police say, was to
make the acquaintance of wo.
men of his own nationality and
by pretending desire to marry
them secure the opportunity o.
robbing and if necessary killing
them.
Hoffman entered the Varrel
fiat early last Friday morning
and attempted to kill tie entire
Varrell family by turning OF
the gas. When this was discover
ed and the family retired agair
he once more entered the fla
and turned on the gas. A shor

Bucharest, March 29.-Eforts of

partial success. The troops are not
acting with increased energy. A
large number of rioters have been
killed in numerous conflicts with S u
diers, but as yet there is no sign of
, amelioration of conditions On the
contrary, the rioters appear to be be-
coming holder and more determined,
and yesterday the situation undoubt-
eddy was aggravated. AT TirgOvistes,
in the Argest district, a band of peas
ants Wednesday attempted to raid
the arsenal. Upon being repulsed by
the troops the rioters set fire to
many houses in town.
At Vlaschka a band of peasants
fired on troops, Whereupon the latter
fired three shots at them from a fell
gun killing 20 and wounding many
more. According to an uncOnfrmed
version of the encounter 200 peasants
were killed. A serious encounter is
reported DIT HdpdH0dDeSJlC IL WHICH
many peasants were killed or wound
ed. 1t is impossible to give an even
approximate estimate of the casualties

consultation with DR.. Robert Kitto,
