THE CELEBRATIONS.
Racos, Horse and Wheel, at Cumberland and
St. Simon.
The horse and bicycle races on Cum
berland beach on Saturday, July 3,
promise to be unusually interesting.
Entries are now beiug received by
Mr. L. V. Carroll, who is managing
the attraction.
Deputy Sheriff Emmett Taylor, who
is an enthusiastic horseman, has se
cured a Macon horse to enter the trot
ting races against McCrary’s fast trot
ter, which defeated Judge Lehman’s
horse recently.
The principal trotting event will be
in three heats, one-half mile each,4iest
two of three, for a purse of SSO. The
running race will be under the same
conditions and for the same amount.
The bicycle races are. being ar
ranged by Mr. J. A, Montgomery, of
the Brunswick Cycle Cos. Handsome
will ho ntf’prpH.
In addition to these, a “potato race”
has been arranged, which will be the
richest event of the season. One hun
dred potatoes will be placed at equi
distant intervals, in a straight line,
with a basket at the end. Six colored
hoys will be entered, and the prize, a
suit of clothes, will he awarded the
one who puts the largest number of
potatoes in the basket.
Transportation and board will be
given free to all horses, owners and
riders. The railroads are offering low
rates from Atlanta and Albany. Spe
cial boats will he run for the crowds.
The celebration at Bt. Simon on
Monday, July 5, will engage much the
same talent, and will have a number
of new attractions.
No boat races have yet been ar
ranged for the St. Simon occasion. A
celebration at St. Simon without boat
races would certainly be a half
handed and incomplete affair, and the
managers should by all means make
the necessary movements toward hav
ing several interesting regattas.
Our line of $3.00 tan shoes can’t be

day than Sunday, when the thermome

grees. There was no breeze and the
sun’s rays were scorchers in every
sense of the word. Yesterday’s record
went as high as 94, but the squall in
the afternoon cooled the atmosphere
considerable.

HAWAII'S BEETS
TO BE THE PRIDE.
A Treaty of Annexation Ready for
Submission to the
Senate.
THE PRESIDENT IS QUITE WILLING.
United States Will Take Care of the Island in
the Future-On Lines Negotiated
By Harrison.
Washington, June 14.—A treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States will be sent to the sen
ate soon after the return of the presi
dent, unless the present plans are al
tered. The treaty had been written
and all its details fully agreed upon
before the president and Secretary
Sherman left for the South.
There is no doubt, it is said, of the
president’s acquiesence in the terms
of the treaty, for the reason that he
was made fully aware of them before
he left.
The treaty is on the general lines of
the treaty negotiated by order of
President Harrison and withdrawn
by President Cleveland. Tt provides
for annexation without exact condi
tions on the part of the Hawaiians as
'to the form of government to be
vouchsafed to Hawaii, leaving that
question to be entirely disposed of by
the Government of the l ulled States.
The United States will agree, how
ever, to assume the debt of the pres
eut Hawaiikn government, but will
come into possession of ail Hawaiian
crown lands and other possessions.
Several senators have received defi
nite information concerning the exist
ence of the treaty and are acquainted
With its terms, though they refuse to
discuss the matter. Knowledge of
the existence of the treaty has been
communicated to members of the com
mittee on foreign relations and also
to members of the finance committee.
The approval of the committee on
foreign relations is assured, as eight
members of the committee have ap
proved its terms. This will enable
the committee to speedily report the
treaty to the senate, and the matter
■sms 'ivc 1 " taken •■wp
the tariff bill is disposed of.

Lightning Kills Three Young Ladies in
Ohio.

three young ladies were blotted out
yesterday evening by lightning, while

William Taylor; and Emma White,
daughter of Sampson White. All
were aged about 19 years.

by those that were killed was the
cause of death, as Miss Bohring, who
was only stunned, wore none.

THE MARKETS.
Quotations By Telegraph For The Times
Commercial Readers.
Paine, Murphy & Co.’s Grain Better.
Savaunah, June 14. —The principal
American wheat markets to-day have
moved independently of those in Eng
land and on the Continent. Chicago,
New York and St. Louis show a sub
stantial advance. The rise in Liver
pool was jit to %, and was hardly suf
ficient to attract any - attention, con
sidering the strength here on Satur
day, while Paris was unchanged to 16
cents lower. Corn has been active,
with an increased trade. The pro
vision market opened easy on large
receipts of hogs, but advanced on light
offerings.
Paine, Murphy & Co.’s Stock Letter.
Savannah, June 14.—The securities
marked strong today under continued
absortion for both investment and
speculative accounts. Demand for
railroad bonds was urgent and on a
larger volume of dealings than in
former week. Government bonds
showed further strength. Prices ad
vanced jfj@% per cent, and the new
fours selling at the highest point in
the history of the market.
Paine*, Murphy & Co.’s Cotton Letter.
Savannah, June 14.—Liverpool ca
cables were disappointing this morn
ing, and as a result our market was
weaker. Trading has been light and
no evidence of desire to take hold on
llie part of either hulls or bears. The
general sentiment here continues bear
ish, based on favorable news of grow
ing crop and lack of interest in mar

A Launch Party.
One of the most delightful launch
parties of the season was given last
night by Mr. C. Taylor. His guests en-
up The bay,"
made especially interesting by the
contrast of the sudden blow
with the succeeding placidness
of the moonlight. A landing
was made at the monitor Passaic,
where refreshments were served.

Mabry's Mishap.
Attorney G. B. Mabry did not ap
pear before Governor Atkinson yester
day in behalf of M. Lowry. Mr. Ma
bry left for Atlanta Sunday night, but
at the George street crossing, acci
dentally fell from the train and was
painfully hurt. He is confined to hi 9
bed over Bishop’s drug store, and it
cannot be stated when he will be able
to go on his mission of justice. If
Mr. Mabry’s condition is not such that
he can travel before next Friday, Gov
ernor Atkinson will doubtless post
pone the hearing and, in the mean
time, grant a stay.
