Lamar St. and Cotton Ave., AMEBIOU8, GEORGIA. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 81.—Frank Mc Grath, statu president of the Fanners* Alliance, was asked what effect the ac tion of the Missouri Alliauce in firing their president, U. 8. Hall, would have on Missouri politics. "It does not mean anything any more than if the Kansas Alliance should sit down on me. One man doesn’t amount to much with the Alliance, bat I don’t believe that the third party will be very strong in Mis souri—that is, they will not cut mttcb of a figure in state elections. There are too many large cities in that state for the farmers to get control. Thenjjje Democrats are very thoroughly organ ized, and it will be a very hard matter to make converts among them. ” Dr. McLalUn, editor of the Advocate, said that the same medicine given Hall is bottled for others who are against the Third party moveiueut, notably As sistant State Lecturer W. S. McAllis ter, of Mississinpi. He declares the overwhelming sentiment of his people to be that the new party is a fixture, and that the Ocala platform was built to stand. He regards the talk about the failure of the southern Alliance to unite with the third party movement and accept the sub-treasury scheme as the merest talk. "The Alliance of the north uud that of the south under stand each other, and the understand ing is and has been from the first that the southern wing should not formally pronounce for a third party until the national meeting in 18U2. From that time there will be no question in the public mind as to what course the Alli ance in the south will pursue. It will then lie seen that the People’s party- there is the very opi>orite of the Demo cratic party. The third party, the Ocala platform and the sub-treasury plan are permenaudcs aud the vote at the next election will demonstrate the correctness of this view." In the meantime all that are against the ranks will be cashiered, as Hull has been. LOOK OUT FOR STORMS. Weather Prophet Foster Says They WIU Come In September. St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 81.—Weather Prophet Foster in • public letter says: "I forecasted the stonn wave doe to cross the continent from Ang. 27 to 81. The next will he due to leave the Pacific coast about Sept. 2, cross the Rockies aud the Allegheny valley from the 8d to the Stb, and reach the Atlantic coast about the 8th. It will become an im portant storm about the 4th or 5th, al ter it has crossed the Mississippi river moving eastward. The weather will be very warm southeast of this storm along its entire route across the contiuent, and about one day in advance of the storm center. The storm wave will be #f large proportions, and will probably .move along the 88th degree of north latitude, it will inaugurate the rain period that returns about every flfty- ■vvo (lays. The rains will not be very largely increased, but will be more gen erally distributed, and many places where local drouths have oee urred will be relieved. The usual cod) wave will follow this storm of Sept. 2 to Sept. 8, bnt will not bring a very low teuipera- tnre, and the first ten days of Septem ber will he average warm. - GEORGIA ALLIANCE Condemn* the l^glil.tare for It.

We deem this an outrage upon every true and loyal Georgian and a reflection upon the old soldiers, and deserving the severest denunciation. "Resolved, That it is with somewhat indignant feelings that we learn that Gwinnett’s representatives voted against the bill; that they should ho far forget their respect for the sentiments and wishes of their constituents in the grand old county of Gwinnett, that fur. nisbed two thousand of as true and brave heroes as ever confronted an en emy on the battlefield, as to vote with the 94 against the acceptance of said home. "Resolved, That we desire the world to know that they do not reflect the sentiment* and wishes of this Alliance, and we believe of the people of Gwinnet county, and we utterly repudiate and condemn their course. ” CHARGED WITH ARSON EX-PREACHER ARRESTED SUSPICION.

Minister Kgan Will Probably lie Itecalled —The Adintnl.trntlon Mortified. Washington, August 30.—The official announcement of the defeat of President Baltnaceda and the probable overthrow of his power, whleh the assistant secre tary of state had to telegraph to Presi dent Harrison to-day, will lead, it is be lieved, to a prompt ratification of the position of our government by the recog nition of the congresstonallsts as bellig erents, If not by the immediate recog nition of their government as the con stitutional and established government of Chill. , The administration, mortified at its situation, will endeavor to correet its mistake as gracefully as possible, with a view to at once establishing friendly re lations with the new government of Chili, and to forestall criticism in the newspapers and in congress. Minister Egan, who had much to do witb misleading our government Into Its error, will probably be recalled, if he does not resign, and Charles R. Flint and William Henry Trescott, who, os agents for President Baltnaceda, used their friendship with Secretary Blaine and President Harrison to strengthen President Baltnaceda, will be treated coldly for a time. The method! by which our govern- mont was Influenced and the reasons which controlled lta action are all thor oughly well understood by Dom Pedro Montt and Julie Foster, the agents of the congressionalista here, and although they cannot talk much for publication about them, the facta will be duly pre sented In writing to be Inspected by any investigating committee whleh may be appointed at the next session of con gress to look Into this scandal.

Campbell Her Stage Wm-Ilrolif-Sold In New Turk at Auction. A crowd of actors, men about town and curiosity hunters gathered in the auction rooms at No. 240 Fifth avenue, New York, Tuesday morning to attend the auction sale of the handsome and costly wardrobo of the late Emma Abbot, The popular prinra donua was [noted for the beauty of her stage dyesses, and she often paid extravagant prices for them. To day they wont for a song; in deed, It was a merciless slaughter. There were 135 numbers on the cata logue, and they comprised various arti cles, from a pair of slippers to *1fii.OOO Worth costume. There wjH> costumes, dresses, suits and waists, Skirts ami bod ices, shoes, slippers aud sandals, hose and tights, belts and girdles, caps add head-dresses. Of the numerous costumes, air of them, according to the catalogue, were made at a coat of $25,000. There wero nearly two hundred people in attendance and every seat was taken, but most of those present did not come to bid, unless they could secure some little souvenir at a trilling outlay. Tile prices realized were pitifully small, oveu in consideration of the season of the year. A blue satin waist, entirely new, and made by Redfero, was knocked down at $5.50, and a now violet cashmere waist, by Felix, brought only $4.50. A black velvot bodice went for only $2. A short black laee and pink satin dress, with two waists, was sold for $18. A sot of new lace skirts sold for #21, and a “Mikado’’ dress, richly embroid ered, for $20. A fortunate bidder se cured for $0 a "Yeoman of the Guard” ribbon drapery dress, with black velvet waist. It was decorated witb yards and yards of ribbon, alLhlaborately ombroid ered in gold. The shoes and Bllppers suffered as great a slaughter as any class of articles. The bland auctioneer announced them aa costing from $12 to $15 aud “war ranted to fit any foot.” They were all number three. A pair of white satin shoes sold at $2.50, another pair at $2.00 and still another at $1.50. A pair of “Mikado” slippers wore knocked down at 75 cents, a pair of purple satin shoes brought $2.50 and a pair of pale green satin slippers $1 50. Perhaps as great a bargain as any bo- enred was that of a pair of gold slippers for $2.25. The bidding was not quite so brisk when the silk tights wero reached, and many of the ladles who were present seemed to lose much of their interest just at that time. There were only three pairs of tights scheduled, and they were all of silk and all new- A laven der-colored pair sold for $7, a pair of red onesjor $10.50 and a pair of green for $8. There were seven pain of sllk-em- broldered hose sold and all were stated to have cost $25 each, and were made to order for Mias Abbott. They brought only a trifling sum, a pair of ruby silk selling at $5.50 and a pair of Queen Anne for the same price. Local Shortstops. Many moves will be made to-day and dtaya will be In demand.
