NEW YORK, August 1.-The buoyan-
cy OF Fridays market was carried over
Into the first hour of trading today.
On very heavy transactions Reading
and Union Pacific advanced to new
high records. The general list was
strong, and the volume of business
greater than on any other opening
hour of the week, Commission houses
reported volume of business unusual
for Saturday, and this was respon-
sible for much OF the strong character
Of the trading. Many of the stocks
that they bought had been taken on
by the traders on the previous day, and
this evening OF traders positions
brought about slight reaction In the
last hour. In this last hour. tho vol
ume Of trading was much less than in
the first hour. The market generally
continued strong until the close, which
was dull and uninteresting.

AT YeE1assee, negro boy while
hunting coons Friday morning ran
across two negro men who had rob-
bed cars Thursday night and were a
waiting a chance to bundle their
spoils and to leave at IL o'clock. The
boy reported the matter to Capt.
VIM. M. Elliott, who is the Atlantic
Coast Lines special agent, and sew
eral started in pursuit.
S. w. Litchfield, white, merchant
and Joe Francis, colored. were shot
and killed from ambush by the rob
bers. They ran through an old rice
field, making their escape. They
were seen by several parties, who
could easily identify either of them.
Friday the sheriff was notified by
the train dispatcher of the Atlantic
Coast Line, of the robbery and Kill
ing at Yemassee and requested TO
send blood hounds to the scene, but
unfortunately Sheriff Martin has no
dogs at his disposal. No details were
given of the robbery and killing,
only a request that the dogs be sent
to Special Agent Elliott at Yemas-
see.

That the Loss Has Been Greatly
UndeEStimated.

A dispatch from Augusta Friday
says the food water is receding
rapidly and as the water leaves the
streets it is apparent that the loss
has been underestimated. In addi-
tion to the disasters already report
ed it is found that the Riverside
Mills, in damage to plant and loss
of cotton which floated away, sus-
tains loss OF $10O,O00; Reid's cot
ton ware house, the best IN the South
is damaged in large sum, but it will
| require survey to determine the
amount; Triangular block, where the
wholesale houses are assembled, is
badly injured. The Nelson, Morris
& Co.'S ware house has collapsed and
is being ranged; the Augusta Grocery
Company's building is damaged in
$4,000; Hill & Merry escaped seri-
Gus loss; C. D. Carr & Co.. PAUL.,
Muslin & Murphy are comparatively
slightly damaged; the National Bis
cult Company building is wrecked.
The Central Grammer School Is bad
ly hurt, and the Davidson Grammar
School is damaged severely. In adj
dition to the fires already reported
| it developes that there were ten
smaller houses burned in different
sections of the city.

Augusta is trying hard to measure
up to the demand upon her. At the
public meetings it was decided not to
make an appeal for outside assist

not err in declining to make public
appeal for assistance, and many be-

cept contributions, and he so publicly
said in reply to Atlanta's inquiry.
