Lover*.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Washington, Jane 19. Thomas J.
Brady, appeared in court to-day for the
purpose of furnishing bail on two new in
dictments, found against him last week.
Judge Wylie said that the verdie' in the
trial just ended would probably be suffi
cient reason for vacating the bond given
by Brady in that case. The original in
dictment remained, but as he understood
that it was nearly identical with that recen
tly disposed of, he thought that it should
be abandoned. Mr. Ker said that the gov*
eminent did not propose trying that in*
dictmtnt, and if the court thought that it
should be dismissed, he would not object.
As Mr. Merrick was not present, however,
he asked that any action in that matter
be postponed until Saturday. The sub
ject was then dropped,and, after some di«-
sion the court fixed the bail in the two ad
ditional indictments at SIO,OOO in each
case. Mr. Brady wll give bond on Satur
day.
Mr. Supervising Architect Hill.
The Hill Investigating Committee re
sumed its session to-day and couapel for
Hill cross-examined Stinemetz with avowed
purpose of testing his knowledge as an
expert. The examination was largely
technical and upon matters of detail. A
good deal of bad humor was manifest
ed on both sides. Stinemetz said
he has been connected with the
office of Supervising Architect from
1863 to 1877, and his leaving office was
due to Hill. The witness, however, enter
tained no hard feeling against Hill. He
had filed some papers with the secretary,
which possibly at some time would be
taken up. The witness never made any
of getting even with Hill’s
offisK Counsel for Muroh endeav
ored to examine Stinemetz upon con
tracts for the construction of buildings
in Boston, St. Louis and Cincinnati, but,
upon objection by Hill’s counsel, the com
mittee ccnflned the examination to one
building at a time and not to take up
others until Philadelphia is disposed of.
In the course of discussion, Coleman,
counsel for March, said the prosecution
proposed to show, not one fraud, but
scores, and a systematic plundering of the
government in the erection of public
buildings. He said that in the case of the
fit. Louis contract it can be shown that con
tractors were already getting a greater price
for rough stone than its market value,
and still, in making modified contracts,
same excessive allowances were made for
dressing stone. The prosecution expected
to prove that $50,000 was raised and
used in Washington to fix these contracts
in the interest of contractors. It would
be useless to prove this fact unless the
prosecution be first permitted to show that
the government suffered by the execution
of these contracts.
Kenneth Raynor, Solicitor of the Treasury,
was next called by the prosecution. He
testified in effect that there is no statute
which authorizes the Supervising Architect
es the Treasury to make contracts for and on
behalf of the government; that no money
can be expended upon public building
until the plans and estimates have
been approved by the Secretary
of the Treasury, and the power to make
contracts could net be delegated to the
Supervising Architect. Coleman then pre
ferred specific charges against Hill of mak
ing extravagant contracts with Dan French
for furnishing statuary for the Philadel
phia building, and asked the committee to
order Hill to produce all papers bearing
upon the matter. The committee so or
dered, and adjourned until to-morrow.
Removals and Appointments.
It is reported that Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue Evans, had dismissed four
special revenue agents and filled their
places with others, and that other dismis
sals and appointments are contemplated.
The dismissed officers are O. W. Eldredge,
of Boston; Gustas Clemens, of Illinois; 0.
F. Daniels, of Cincinnati; and M. W.
Creager, of Michigan. Os the new ap
pointments two are from Kentucky, one
from Indiana, and one from Kansas. The
latter recently resided in Kentucky.
Rumor points to Gen. F. D. Sewell, of
Maine, Chief of Division of Special
Agents, as one of those to go soon.
Watson S. Menafee has been appointed
postmaster at Union Springs, Alabama.
During the past three months eighty-five
special agents (full number of that class of
empkyes authorized by law) have been
sent West on inspection service bv the
Commissioner of the General Land Office.

THE WILD MBS OF THE WEST.
Disposing of Cap'ured Hostile*—Gen.
Crook and the Indians—One Hun
dred and Fifty Well Armed
Warriors.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Ban Fbanoi 00, June 19.—A dispatch
from Wilcox, Arizona, says it is under
stood that if the Indian agent at San
Cerlos does not receive the captured ho
tiles', serious results may be anticipated.
The hostilss are now waiting to surrender
neartne Mexican line, but will not do so
unless they are first assured of good treat
ment on the reservation. Runners have
already returned to the line with in
telligence that there are from 150
to 175 able bodied warriors yet to sur
render. A repetition of the occurrences
of April 19, 1882 is feared. The hostile
Apaches then came into the reservation
and forcibly took out Loco and his follow
ers. The reservation Indians fear the
Chiracahns and would make a very weak
resistance. The Indians fear Gen.
and if his judgment prevails all will be
well. Otherwise there is still trouble
ahead. The Indians now out ere well
armed and have plenty of ammunition.

[Correspondence of the Chronicle.]
Faibbubn, Ga., June 16, 1883.—The
survivors of the old Confederate com
panies that went from this county hsd
their fourth annual reunion at Old Camp
bellton to-day. Both Senator Colquitt
and Gen. Gordon had been invited, but,
owing to business engagements, neither
could be present. Letters were read from
both geu'-emen, expressing their hearty
sympathy in such reunions and regretting
their inability to be with the old soldiers
again. The time passed off very pleasant
ly, and there was sou. a feeling manifested
as the comrades of 1861-5 shook hands in
soldier fashion. One gentleman, having
moved into this county since the war, and
having do proof that he was ever in the
army, laid bare his right breast and there
were the scars. He needed no further
recommendation. Speeches were made by
several gentlemen.
Crops in this section are late and look

FRANCE AND HER TROUBLES.
What Her Admiral la Doing For the
Love of His Government.
(By Cable to the Chronicle.)
Pabia, June 19.—Admiral Pierre, in a
dispatch from Tamatave, Madagascar, dated
June 13, announces that he presented an
ultimatum to the Hova government, which
rejected it. He then captured Tamatave
and destroyed Toule Point, Mohambo and
Leverive. The French, he savs, have
firmly established themselves in- these
positions without suffering any loss of men.
The principal operations are furnished
and a state of seige has been proclaimed.
The Maldgassyenvove had an interview
with Prime Minister Ferry yesterday, be
fore the news of the capture of Tamatave
had been received. It is thonght that all
further negotiation will now be left in the
hands of Admiral Pierre and the French
agent in Madagascar.
London, Jone 19. —With reference to
Admiral Pierre’s dispatch announcing the
capture of Tamatave, Malagassy envoys
state that the demands of the French were
preposterous. They knew that the ultima
tum would be rejected. The Queen of Mad
agascar gave stringent orders not to return
the French fire. She recalled most of her
troops to the capital and only 200 re
mained at Tamatave to maintain order.
Tamatave is defended by merely one
mud fort mounting four old muz
zle loading guns. The Queen is now
shut off from foreign powers. It will
take the French at least five months to
march to the capital, and there is sufficient
food in the capital for a siege of several
months. The Hovas have there over
six thousand disciplined troeps, most
of whom are armed with Rem
ington rifles. The nation will fight to
the bitter end. Meanwhile it is hoped
that the powers will intervene. Envoys
regard the bombardment ot Tamatave as a
wanton and cruel act. They fear that
many of the foreign residents of Tamatave
were killed.

AN ALDERMAN OF CINCINNATI.
How He Studs a Ball Through a Peace
able Citizen.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Cincinnati, June 19. Aiderman John
J. Kelly, this evening, shot and fatally
wounded James Tool, at a fire engine
house, on Sixth street, near Vine. By
standers say that Tool came up laughing
and exchanged hats with Kelly, who imme
diately acted as if insulted, and warned
Tool not to fool with him. Tool assured
him that he had only acted in fnn,
but Kelly drew a revolver and
deliberately fired. A ball from a
forty-four calibre bull deg pistol crashed
through Tool’s left arm and went into bis
side near the heart. Kelly tried to fire a
second time, but was prevented by Detec
tive Meed who received the hammer on
his hand as it fell for a second shot. Tool
is still living, but is unconscious. Kelly
was immediately arrested. He has been
in a number of minor brawls. In 1876
he was convicted and punished for pro
curing an illegal voter. He has been an
aiderman for a number of years.

Paila, June 19.—The Chilian Com
madant, to-day, gave notice that if the Pe
ruvian authorities acknowledge Iglesias as I
President, Chili is prepared to withdraw J

President’s message, arguing that he
always desired peace, but he had had no
one to treat with. Now he hopes it may
be consummated with Gen. Iglesias.
A FAILURE.
A Chicago House Causes a Failure in
New York.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
New Yobk, June 19.—1 tis stated on
the street that the failure of Parks & Co,
was due to the fact that M. 8. Nichols A
Co,, of Chicago, threw out drafts of the
former to the extent of $40,000. Paiks <t
Co, however, claim they have a balance to
their credit in Chicago of $75,000. At the
stock exchange contracts for about one
thousand shares of stock were closed
under the rule for the account of R. H.
Parks <k Co.
What the Chicago House Has to Say
of the Failure.
Chicago, June 19.—M. 8. Nichols & Co.
are authority for the statement that the
troubles of Parks A Co., at New York, who
represented a Chicago firm there, and con
sequent fear that the knowledge of that
fact would precipitate a heavy call for
margins, caused them to close out their
deals on the Chicago board in as rapid
order as possible. They intimate
that Park’s failure is not due to
any action of theirs. Wheat suffered a de
cline on this market this morning owing
to very heavy offerings, and resulted in a
temporary decline of 1% to 2 cents. It
was afterwards learned that this was oc
casioned by M. S. Nichols A Co., who have
been on the bull side of the market, clos
ing out their deals. Rumor followed that
the firm which is rated as an exceptionally
strong one,had failed. This was afterward
denied, Nichols in person making the an
nouncement on ’Change that the firm had
closed out all its deals and was ready to
meet its demands. The effect of this state
ment was to immediately improve the tone
of the market. Peck A Boucher, who
have been dealing in lard, suspended this
morning, and their troubles are supposed
to be due to the recent collapse in the lard
market.
THE MANSFIELD TRAGEDY.
Further Development* Concerning the
Killing.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
New Obleans, June 19 —A special from
Mansfield, La., says the preliminary ex
amination of Rev. Ben T. Jenkins for the
killing of Rev. Lane Borden was begun to
day, but not concluded. Immediately
after the shooting of Borden by Jenkins,
District-Attorney Hall wrote to John
8. Butler, the father of the young
lady whose name is involved, in the
matter, giving him the particulars
of the tragedy, the alleged cause being
the ruin of his daughter. Butler replied,
under date of June 18th, saying: “There
is not one word of truth in the charge you
refer to. I regret very much Mr. Jenkins
took up such an idea. My daug’. ter says
she said nothing to Jenkins from which
be possibly could infer anything of the
kind.”
A special from Alexandria, La , gives the
statement cf Miss Butler, in which she
denies having made a confession to young
Jenkins that Borden had ill
treated her, but she adds
that when Jenkins asked her
if Borden had treated her badly, she re
plied in the affirmative, and left him to
imagine the details. She also describes
an attempt on the part of Borden to in
dulge in familiarity with her on one occa
sion recently, which she at once resented,
and it was never repeated, but this she did
not tell to Jenkins.

A RUSH FOR LICENSES.
Chicago Rum Slingers Making Prepara
tions.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Chicago, June 19.—Under the impulse
of an ordinance passed by the City Coun
cil, last night, anticipating the effect of
the new State license law. which will
go into operation on July Ist, and ex
tending the present license year nine
months, there was an unprecedented rush
for saloon licenses to-day, the day’s work
reaching nearly fifteen hundred licenses.
It is urged that the legality of the ordi
nance is very doubtful, and in the event
of the extended licenses being declared
void, the supposition is that the saloon
keepers will not only lose their fee of $lO3,
but forfeit their license as well.
Do We Appreciate Art Work.
Bomb, June 19.—1 u the Chamber of
Deputies, to-day, during debate, several
members expressed regret that the Uni
ted States government unduly taxed ob
jects of art imported into the United
States and they demand reprisals; Signor
Magliani, Minister of Finance, and Signor
Baccelli, Minister of Public Instruction,
while they blamed the action of the Uni
ted States Congress in imposing this tax,
yet hoped that diplomatic negotiations
would procure better terms. They added
that reprisals would be useless, especially
because of the impossibility of fixing the
real value of objects of art. A motion was
ultimately adopted requesting the gov
ernment to introduce a special bill dealing
with the question.

New York, June 19.—The grand jury

WORKING AWAY.
THE WORCESTER COUNTY INSTI
TUTE OF INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE.
Important Letter Concerning It—lt*
Charter, Present Condi
tion—A Institution.
Chronicle.]
Worcester,
rival here last Chairman Harris
called on the President of the Worcester
County Free Institute of Industrial Science,
and arranged for an inspection by the Geor
gia Legislative Committee at an early hour
this morning. This school was chartered
May 10, 1885, and opened for reception
of students November 12, 1868. The
school was founded by John Boynton,
Esq., who gave one hundred thousand dol
lars for its endowment and support. In his
letter of gift, Mr. Boynton declared that
the aim of the school should ever be the
instruction of youth in those branches
not usually taught in the public schools
which are essential to train the young for
practical life, especially that such as in
tend to be mechanics, manufacturers or
farmers may obtain an understanding of
the principles of science which underlie
said pursuits. Mr. Boynton’s idea was to
make the institute free to the youth of
Worcester county. Later Hon. Stephen
Salisbury gave two hundred thousand
dollaiz to the school, that the doors
might be open to students not residents of
Worcester county. As organized and con
ducted, the institute meets the wants of all
those who wish to be mechanics, chemists,
civil engineers or designers. Recitations,
lectures and practice are the agencies re
sorted to in of instruction.
Practice i 3 offerM’w chemistry, civil en
gineering, drawing, physios and mechani
cal engineering. For the last named (m.
e.) three and one-half years are re
quired; the others three years. Much
attention is given to language, and
the study of German and of
French engages each pupil two years.
Free-hand drawing, the use of instruments,
shading, coloring, etc., are carefully and
thoroaghly taught. The appointments of
the Institute are complete, so that instruc
•on and construction are (systematically
and happily combined. Eich year the
members of the senior or graduating class
build one or more complete machines from
their own drawings. The class of ’B3 is
completing a forty horse-power Buckeye
engine. The engine used in the Miller
Manual Labor School, Batesville, Va , was
constructed by students of this institution,
and a member of the class of *Bl is instruc
tor and superintendent of the machine
shop of that school, with a salary of $2,000
per annum.
In this school the expenses of a non
resident pupil need not exceed S4OO per
anan, vossibly less.
The study hours are so planned that
students have time for do training
or instruction other than that pre
scribed in the course of study. Each
day has its carefully planned round
of duties—equally derived between recita
tion and practice—practice in the machine
shop or in the wood-room. The hand
somest and most convenient ladies’ desks
that I have seen are manufactured here by
the students. These evidences of sys
tematic progress in handicraft are sold and
the pro see is are used to add to the appli
ances of the school.
Dr. Homer T. Fuller, the able and ac
complished of the Institute,
took especial delight in showing the oom
mittee through the building. In this, he
was cordially assisted by Mr. M. P. Hig
gins, the brainy Superintendent of the
machine shops, who explains mat
ters in detail. The corps of
professors, (8) and instructors, (3) is
well paid. The Superintendent of
the machine shop receives the highest
salary, $3.0C0 per annum. This fact
speaks for itselL Having leisurely made
-the rounds and having inspected and
quired into and noted every branch of the
several departments, the committee was
conducted to the President’s private
office, where that gentleman gave every
fact relating to the origin, design, pro
gress and scope of the institute. In the
writer’s judgment, the Worcester Institute
is, par excellence, the technological school of
the Union. Its exact counterpart is the
polytechnic institute at Moscow. That
the reader may have a fair con
ception of the practical char
acter of the institution herein de
scribed, it is only necessary to mention
the fact that more than ninety per cent, of
the graduates are engaged in occupations
for which their training here specially pre
pared them. Os the two hundred and
fifty-five graduates, eleven are deceased,
fifty-five have made no report; the remain
ing one hundred and eighty-nine are en
caged as follows : Partners in business
22; superintendents, 14; chief engi
neers, 5; division engineers, 5 ; as
sistant engineers, 21; civil engineers,
14; draughtsmen, 45; mechanical engi
neers, 4; machinists, 17; master mechan
ics, 1; foremen. 5; teachers, 16; chemists,
18; advanced students, 7; designers, 6.
Worcester Institute is a striking and
beautiful illustration of a wise thought,
namely, that rich men, while in health,
with a promise of years before them, shon’d
formulate and put into execution their
> philanthropic purposes. That seems to
be the rule throughout this eeotion. We
have authority that cannot be questioned
for the belief that the works of these who
do good (because of a love for that which
is pure and exalting) do follow them.
How much better that, in the broad fields
of philanthropy, the big hearted and op
ulent should begin to give in the early
morning, so to speak, so that they may
themselves see some of the first fruits of
their liberality. In other words, before
“the silver chord ba loosed or the golden
bowl be broken,” let them constitute
themselves their own executors.
A feature in this institute was inaugu
rated by a gentleman who gave ten
thousand dollars, the interest of which is
divided annually among the best six schol
ars of the graduating c'ass. It is known
as the “Graduates’ Aid Fund.” No stu
dent can receive more than SIOO nor less
than S9O. If the income is not sufficient
to give S9O to each of the six students
who have “faithfnllv, industriously and
with d ; s‘.inguished attainments completed
the full courso of three years,” then the
division shall be made i.a five equal parts.
This institution has a fund of $500,000,
of which Amount the Stats contributed
$50,000. The remainder came of dona
tions made by wealthy public-spirited citi
zens. Another fact: Os the population of
the United States, Worcester county has
.005 per cent, and of all inventions "made
in the Union .012 per cent. M. V. C.

’Db. 8. R. BBiTTANsays: “As a rule phy
sicians do not, b> their professional meth
ods, build up the female constitution,
while they seldom cure the diseases to
which it is always liable in our variable
climate and under our imperfect civiliza
tion, Special remedies are often required
to restore organic harmoby and strengthen
the enfeebled powers of womanhood; and
for most of these we are indebted to per
sons outside of the medical profession
Among the very best of these remedies I
assign a prominent place to Mrs. Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.”

“Thought the Child Would Die."
This ts what the Sisters of the Home for
Catholic Children, in Boston, said about a
poor little child who was racking itself al
most to death, with whooping cough. The
child was suddenly taken with severe
spasms and vomiting, and with frightful
painp in the head. The Sisters write: “We
used Perry Davis’ Pain Killer with-the
most astonishing results. In a few hours
the disease was gone and the child was
well.”

Dr. J. Bradfield:
Sib—My daughter has been suffering for
many years with'that dreadful affliction
known as Female Disease, which has cost
me many dollars, and notwithstanding I
had the best medical attendance, could not
find relief. I have used many other kinds
of medicines without any effect. I had
just about given her up, was out of heart,
but happened in the store of W. W. Eck
ler several weeks since, and he knowing
of my daughter’s affliction, persuaded mo
to buy a bottle of your Female Regulator.
She began to improve at once. I was so
delighted with its effects that I bought
several more bottles. The piice, $1 50 a
bottle, seemed to be very high at first, but
now I think it the cheapest preparation on
the globe; and knowing what I do about
it, if to-day one of my family was suffer
ing with that awful disease, I would have
it if it cost SSO a bottle, for I can truth
fully say it has cured my daughter sound
and well, and myself and wife do most
heartily recommend your Female Regula
tor to be just what it is recommended to
be. Respectfully,
H. D. Featherston.
%• “Men are but sorry witnesses in
their own cause.” The praise of Kidney-
Wort comes from the mouths of those who
have been made strong and healthy by it.
Listen : “It is curing everybody,” writes
a druggist. “Kidney-Wort is the most
popular medicine we sell.” ■ It should
be by right, for no other medicine
has sach specific action on the liver,

Advice to Mother*.
Mbs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at
once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by
relieving the child from pain, and the lit
tle cherub awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothe the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain,
relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is
the best known remedy for diarrhoea,
whether arrising from teething or other
causes. Twenty -five cents a bottle.

Stealing a Reputation.
Would you trust one dishonest enough
to steal the reputation of another, to make
for you anything—especially your physic
—not knowing of what it may be com
pounded ? How to tell the genuine Sim
mons Liver Regulator; look tor the wrap
per having a large red Z in the centre and
the signature of J. H. Zeilin & Co. on the
side. All others are worthless, and in
jurious imitations. Don’t tamper with
them, however plausibly recommended—

danger.
