Acgcsta, May 24.—T0 day General A. C.
Haskell, President of the Charlotte, Colum
bia and Augusta Railroad, was in the city
In conference with President Verdery, of
the Augusta and Knoxville Road, now
being built to Greenwood, 8. C. It has
transpired that the object of Gen
eral Haskell’s visit is to prevent
the entire control of the new link
by the Baltimore and Ohio combination,
and also to offer a connection with Knox
ville by means of the Carolina and Tennes
see sj stems of railways, which are operated
by Clyde In connection with General Has
kell’s line. The visit is thought to be sig
nificant, particularly as the Mayor has been
offered a premium for the city’s controlling
interest in the Augusta and Knoxville Road.
The Clyde syndicate not only control the
western connections via Spartanburg,
Asheville and Point Rock, but are also pro
jecting a northeastern railroad to Georgia
through Clarksville and Rsbuu Gap to
Knoxville.
Gen. Haskell left to-night for Columbia.
Tee balaLce of tbe s<>>o,ooo first mortgage
bonds of the Knoxville road were taken to
day by the Augusta syndicate at 97. The
read is now mortgaged for less than $9,000
per mile, tbe cheapest in the South.
Georgia Rdlroad stock was weak to-day

however, who still believe it will go to 200.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Danlortli’s Fluid Dealing Death and
Destruction lu St. Joseph.
St. Joseph, Mo., May 24 —An explosion
of fifteen barrels of Danfor h’s fluid, stored
in a cellar on Edmund street, this city,
occurred at 9 o’clock last night. The floor
over the cellar was occupied as a saloon and
billiard room, and was kept by a colored
man. A number of negroes were in the
saloon at the time, all of whom lost their
lives.
The exact number cannot be ascertained
as yet, but it is variously estimated at from
fifteen to forty-five. Five bodies bave been
recovered, all burned beyond recognition.
It is said one white woman was in the place
at the time of the casualty.
The building was instautly and complete
ly demolished. Tbe inmates were all burled
iu the debris, which was completely en- j
velo; ed by the hot flames of the burning
Raid. The efforts of the fire department to
subdue the flames were of no avaii.
Several thousand excPed people are now
surrounding the scene of the disaster, and
many women and children are screaming
and bewailing the loss of their husbands
and fathers or friends. The concussion
shook buildings for several blocks around.
There were some twenty or thirty men
In the colored man’s saloon last night at
the time of the explosion, and the most of
them escaped. The concussion blew tbe
walls of the building outward, and several
who were blown out with the walls found
themselves in tbe debris from which they
were rescued more or le6S bruised. Cbas.
Dunlap, the bartender, a large man weigh
ing over three hundred pounds, came
near making his escape, but bis feet
were caught under portions of the
fallen roof, and he was burned to death
while desperately struggling to free himself
and appealing for help. His body was pull
ed out, after life wfs extinct, in a charred
condition. Billy Williams was burned to
death. His body was recovered. Several
others rescued within the first moments
after the txplosion and supposed to be
dead are living, and although more or less
bruised, may recover.
As to the cause of the accident there is
nothing positive. Just before the explo
sion took place Alex. Nortbcut, who had a
number of men and boys in training for a
minstrel combination, came into the saloon
and procured a match for the purpose of
going down 6’airs to light up
for a rehearsal. The basement was divided,
the front ronion being used for storage pur
poses for Danforth’s Fluid and the back for
a rehearsal room, where large crowds of
colored folks have been wont to gather
nlgbtly. It is presumed that when the
match was struck the fluid ignited, causing
the explosion.

BRITISH TOPICS.
Brennan’s Arrest Denounced A

Bill Loaded Down with Amend
ments—A Fiery speech from Mr.
O’Donnell—A Scotch Professor’s
'•’rials—Tbe Cyprus Revenues—The
Fisa Insulted—The Debate In the
Commons.
London, May 24.—At a meeting of the
Land League at Dublin to day the arrest of
Thomas Brennan, Secretary of the League,
was denounced as an outrage on the Iri6h
race. The speakers declared that a national
protest should be made in the shape of a
general strike against the payment of rent.
In the House of Lords to day Earl Gran
ville, Foreign Secretary, announced that
the Turco-Greek frontier convention was
signed to-day.
The rumor is current in the House of
Commons that Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary
for Ireland, is about to resign.
The Times this morning says: “Up to last
night a thousand amendments to be pro
posed to tne land bill had been placed on
the order book of the House of Commons,
and many more are being prepared, not
only by the Home Rulers, but by many
English and Irish Llbeutls and Conserva
tives.”
The General Assembly of tbe Scotch Free
Church yesterday adopted—by a vote of
449 to 218—a resolution approving the de
cision of the recent commission, which in
structed Professor Robertson Bmlth to sus
pend teaching his classes at Aberdeen Uni
versity. The charges of infidelity will not
probably be retried before hi* Presbytery.
A Tunis dispatch says the British Consul
at Sfax reports that a schooner under the
English flig has been boarded and forcibly
searched in spite of the protests of the Cap
tain, by a French man of war, between Sfax
and Gherba.
In the House of Commons to-day it was
stated that the government would have to
propose a grant from the Exchequer to
meet the deficiency in the revenue of
Cyprus, but they must decline entering
upon tbe question of the expediency of re
taining the sovereignty of Cyprus.
Mr. O’Donnell, Home Rule member for
Dungarven, speaking in support of tbe reso
lution on the arrest cf Father Sheehy and
Mr. Dillon, made a bitter attack upon Mr.
Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland. He
said the arrest >f Father Sheehy excited
even stronger feeling than if Archbishop
Croke had been arrested. It was perhaps
deemed safer to arrest a curate than an
Archbishop, but, though the act was
cowardly, it was by no means safe. He
proceeded to attack the government for
assisting to evict the poverty-stricken peo
ple, and stigmatized the recent circular
urging the police to greater vigilance as a
direct incitement to the fabrication of evi
dence.
Mr. Forster said he refused to dwell upon
Mr. O’Donuell’s assertions bi cause they
were unfounded. He had hitherto refrained
from entering upon the particulars of Mr.
DiDon’a arrest because he feared it might
endanger the safety and even the lives of
particular individuals. lie then proceeded
to quote from the incendiary speeches of
Mr. Dillon and Father Bheehy.
Mr. Forster admitted that the government
had proclaimed Dublin in order to be able
to arrest Mr. Diiion. They could not, he
said, arrest people for “Boycotting” where
it only meant exclusive dealing, but
when It put people in personal dan
ger, they had made arrests, and
would do so again. If the government
saw a conspiracy to commit robbery by
armed resistance to the law, they would
• not allow the conspirators to succeed even
though the persons to be robbed were land
lords. They would arrest the Instigators
anda bettors of outrages were they members
of Parliament, or members of the Land
League or clergymen. He looked, he said,
with some alarm at what was going on, but
hoped that by sending an overwhelming
force wherever resistance was expected they
would be able to maintain peace.
Mr. O’Sullivan, Home Rule member for
Limerick, moved aa adjournment of the
debate.
Mr. Callan, Liberal, seconded the motion.
Mr. Gladstone charged the Irish members
with not daring to face a division on the
resouMou.
Mr. Parnell supported the motion for an
adjournment of the debate. He charged
the government with obtaining the coercion
act by false pretences and by gagging tbe
Irish members, but they would not, he said,
succeed in silencing them again.
Mr. Callan was speaking at seven o’clock,
when the debate was adjourned in accord
ance with the standing orders.
SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS.
Report of the Committee on Foreign
Misslons-Tbe Columbia Theologi
cal Seminary—The Debate on Re
form.
Staunton, Va., May 24.—At the mis
sionary meeting held last night, Dr. Pryor,
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Missions, presented his report. The re
ceipts for the year have been $59,000, an
increase of SIO,OOO since last year.
The general work of the missionary
service hss been satisfactory, and its
condition is promising. The principal re
commendations of the committee were an
adherence to the present constitution of
foreign missions, and the establishment of
a mission in Africa, a field now unoccupied
j by the Presbyterian Church. Eloquent ad
j dresses on the subject of foreign missions
i were delivered by Drs. Wilson, Palmer and
! Hoyt.
In the Assembly to day, the report of the
Theological Seminary at Columbia, 8. C ,
was read. The finances of the Institution
are in a comparatively prosperous condition.
Over $30,000 have been contributed for
an endowment. Dr. Girardeau will
resign bis position as prefer sor
in the seminary, and Dr. Palmer,
of New Orleans, La., has been elected to
the Professorship of Pastoral Theology.
The Committee on Theological Seminaries
recommended the closer 6tudy of the Eng
lish Bible by the students, and a more rigid
examination of candidates for the ministry.
Rev. J. A. Quarles, of Missouri, continu
ed the debate on reform, making an able
argument in favor of tbe proposed change.
Dr. Phillip Scoff, of the Union Seminary
of New York, a member of the Committee
on Revision of the Bible, delivered an in
i telligent address on the revised New Testa
ment. ne explained the changes made in
the text by the revision and said that the
committee now at work on the Old Testa
ment will not complete Its labors for three
or four years.
RUSSIA’S TRADE.
Alarming Decline In Many Branches
London, May 24.—The London corres
pondent of the Manchester Guardian says;
“A crisis seems to be developing in the
Ruslan cotton trade. There has been for
two months past a complete ces
sation in the demand in Bt. Peters
burg for coarse calicos for the
provinces, 100,000 pieces having accumu
lated during that period. All the smaller
manufacturers have cftcided to close their
mills. Only a few of the large manufacto
ries will remain open, these working on
short time in the hope of a revival of trade.
The cotton trade at Warsaw and Mos
cow is in a similar state of depres
sion. At the latter place heavy
failures are feared. Russian reports of raw
cotton are diminished 30 per cent.; of
thread 8 per cent, and of silk 40 per cent.
The cloth trade is also at a standstill.
The iron trade is far worse. Many English
merchants, depressed by the last five years’
bad trade and the gloomy political and
financial prospects, are winding up their
affairs prepara'ory to immigrating tffith
their capital to England.”

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1881.
CONKLING'S CHANCES.
THE BOSSES AND ARTHUR ON
THE GROUND.
Botb Sides Confident—Tbe ** naif
Breeds” Resolute—How tbe Stal
warts Pnt tbe Case—Tbe Situation
Unchanged.
Albany, N. Y., May 24. —Vice President
Arthur and ex Senators Conkling and Platt
are expected here on the train which leaves
New York at 10:30 o’clock this morning.
It is reported that Conkling will make a
public address.
It is now stated on good authority that it
was one of the conditions of Conkling’s
coming here that no public demonstration
should be made, therefore It Is said that
unless compelled by tbe public demand he
will make no speech. The situation
on the Senatorial question remains un
changed. The Garfield section still
maintain their position of refusing
to enter the caucus and be bound by its
decision, aDd they claim a number more
than sufficient to defeat the election of
Conkling and Platt. The Conkling section
say that if the Senate caucus committee re
fuse to join in calling a joint caucus, they
will get the signatures of a majority of the
Republican members and thus force a cau
cus.
Still the Garfield men say they will not
be governed by such a proceeding, and
if they hold fast to their position there is
no way to prevent a dead lock. Some of the
Garfield members, among them Alvord, are
so confident of their strength that they be
lieve they have a majority against the re
election of Conkling and Platt. The Conk
ling members laugh at this claim, and say
if Garfield’s supporters really believe that,
they ought not to hesitate upon entering
the caucus. They say the same claims were
made last January, prior to the election of
Platt.
Vice President Arthur, with Messrs,
Conkling and Platt, reached here shortly
before three p. m. and went to the rooms
engaged for them at the Dalevan. A large
number of members of the Legislature,
both houses of which had dispensed with
their afternoon session, met the distinguish
ed party at the depot and at the hotel. Af
ter a short iuterva! they went to dinner.
Ex Senator Conkling was cordially re
ceived and repeatedly cheered by tbe crowd
which assembled at the depot to meet, him
this afternoon. The greeting, however, was
not so enthusiastic as Mr. Conkling has had
on former visits. Neither were there so
many present.
Tbe situation to day is unchanged. All
reports that the Democrats will favor one
side or the other are emphatically denied.
They will have candidates of their
own in the field, and will vote for
them only. A caucus in both houses
reveals no change of sentiment. The men
who last week declared they could not vote
to return the resigning Senators made
the same declaration to day, and those who
insisted that the Senators must be returned,
repeat the words. So also with regard to a
caucus. The administration members de
clare that they are ready to go into an elec
tion now, though they do not name their
candidates, and insist that they will not
enter into a caucus with the stalwarts.

Baixdridge. Ga., May 23. —Editor Morning
News’. Judging from the warm reception
with which the News is greeted in this section
of the State, I presume a few items concern
ing our neighbors and friends will not be un
appreciated by your many readers.
After a drought of six weeks we have been
blessed with a copious rain, which will revive
vegetation and the crops generally. Our far
mers still look upon cotton as king and have
planted as much as they ever did. Never will
they be prosperous and independent until they
realize the evil of planting so much cotton to
the neglect of other crops.
We are not an exception to the general cry
of “dull times" which is heard from every
quarter of the State.
The fourth spring fair of the Decatur County
Fair Association closed last Wednesday. The
horticultural and agricultural display was
good, considering the drought The floral dis
play was unu ually good Tne attendance upon
the fair was rather small, owing to the indieer
ence with which fairs are regarded in S juthwest
Georgia. We learn the association came out
O. K„ and, on the whole, everything passed off
splendidly.
The timber business is all th' rage with
our people now. Clary & Maund and
Hwindelle & Cos. are two large
firms who are engaged in the timber business
in this county, 'they have plenty of capital
to back them, and have several large contracts
to fill. Messrs. Cohen & Cos. are now con
structing a large sawmill in this city, and
soon the hum and stir will be heard. Mr. Co
hen informs me the mill, when completed, will
turn out between forty and fifty thousand feet
of lumber per day.
Superior Court adjourned Saturday, after a
term of two weeks. Judge W. O. Fleming pre
siding, Solicitor Walters at the helm. Several
nominations for the penitentiary were con
firmed, among them Dock Tharp, convicted of
msnsiaugh'er, sentenced for twenty years.
There is a protracted meeting going on in the
Methodist Church here, under the ministerial
labors of the Rev. N. P. Burks. Much good is
expected.
Piscatorial amusement is the order of the
day. and our river bank is thronged with the
dis-iples of Isaak Wall on from early morn to
dewy eve.
Our worthy Mayor, Ben. E. Bussell, backed
by our city dads, is straining every nerve to
place our city in a sanitary condition second to
none in the State We are soon to have an
iron bridge expanding our river, which will be
an ornament to the city and a convenience to
the public.
Several steamers ply the waters between
here and Apalachicola. Fla. Among the finest
of these is the Rebeoa Everingham, which is a
model of beauty. Our people are patiently
waiting the arrival of the City of Newton, a
steamer built and owned by parties in Albany,
Ga. They have promised us a trip sometime.
We learn the steamer can carry 100 bales of
cotton. Captain W. E. Sutton is Captain.
It is useless for me to speak of the popularity
of the News in this section. Its well edited
columns are Derused by nearly every inhabit
ant of this section of the State. More anon.

A MYsTERY CLEARED UP.
A Dying Mail Confesses a Murder
of Twenty Years Ago.
The mystery in which the assassina
tion of Professor Crowley, of Mount
Vernon Fen ale College, in Cincinnati,
has been buried for twenty years has
been dispelled by tbe confession of a
dying man in the hospital at Nashville,
Tenn. Crowley defended a lady from
insult from some roughs in the street
one night in 1860. Soon after a party
attacked him from behind. One reached
around and stabbed him in the
breast. He put his hands on the wound
and cried, “My God, lam killed.” He
staggered around three times, and fell
down dead. No clue to the murderers
was ever found. The dying man says
he and two companions did it. They hid
in the woods on the hills two days and
then went to New Orleans. The first
night there, while crossing an alley, a
straDger, the same size, voice and manner
as Crowley, picked a fight with them,
and stabbed the one who had stabbed
Crowley in the same place. He put his
hands over the wound and cried, “My
God, I am killed,” staggered three times
around and fell dead, the same as Crow
ley. This terrorized the other two, who
became wanderers. Out West another
was stabbed by a stranger and killed.
The third then came back to confess, but
his courage failed until on the point of
death. The man died soon after telling
the above story, which is believed to be
true.
A Successful Colored Man.
Chattanooga Times.
The continued success of Hon. Blanche
K. Bruce, ex Senator from Mississippi,
and the manner of it, is a most effectual
settler of the constantly reiterated charge
that Southerners are hostile to the col
ored man, and inimical and obstructive
to his personal and political advance
ment, Mr. Bruce has just been unani
mously confirmed Register of the Treas
ury, an impoitant station. The appoint
ment was not referred to a committee at
all. Mr. Bruce, on the request of Mr.
Lamar, late his colleague, was treated
in respect of his prospective office as if
he had then been a member of the Sen
ate, a rare courtesy. Every Southern
Democrat sustained him heartily, and
the scholarly Lamar congratulated him
on his attaining a position of responsi
bility which he was adapted by capacity
and integrity to fill.
Bruce was a slave when the war began.
His good fortune has been the result of
laborious study, unflinching integrity,
the common sense to see that a man’s
color doesTiothing for him but mark his
race, which may be a disadvantage. He
has claimed nothing on account of his
color. His plea for his race has been
manly and straightforward. “When a
black man of t he same party is a contest
ant for an office with a white one the
color of the ODe should not be considered
a certificate in hts favor, nor that of the
other a badge of disgrace to be overcome
by superior merit, before he can attain
his object over a competitor in all else
his equal.” This is Bruce’s platform on
the color question. It was formulated
long ago by the most enlightened states
men of the South, and has been adopted
by other advanced colored men besides
Bruce.
It is a curious fact that the only color
ed men who now hold honorable and
responsible puhlic stations were once
slaves, Frederick Dougla‘B is the
Register of Deeds for the District of
Columbia, his office being next in im
portance to tbe one held by Bruce.
Another fact worth noting is that
Bruce is about seven apd Llouglass about
three parts Dapcasian. \Vhioh race do
they really belong to?
Why do men born and reared in
slavery show so much higher capacity
for affairs, and prove so much more
successful than the thousands of negroes
of all shades born, reared and educated
in the free \yhat has climate to
do with it? Are these men really ipdebt
ed to slavery tor the foundation of that
discipline which has enabled them to
pull to the front?
Deliberate Suicide.— Major George
W. Murphy, a well known real estate
dealer of Pittsburg, walked in|o a drug
store on Friday fevening and informed
the proprietor tfiat he had taken eight or
nine grains pf qjorphine, and that he de
sired him to witness his will. He was
taken to a hospital and died on Saturday
evening. The deceased was a soldier iu
the late war, and was at qne t'file cashier
of the Pittsburg Savings Bank. After
he took the poison he telegraphed to his
wife, announcing bis 0W death. He told
thosp about him that the suicidal act
was not prompted by business or domes
tic troubles. His life was insured for a
considerable sum.

dom of tbe Vetoed Funding Bill

mer Exodus.
Washington, May 22.— The Treasury De
partment will in a few days commence the
work of redeeming and cancelling S 16.00 J,OOO
outstanding 6 per cent, bonds. That sum
represents the whole amount of the $195,000,-
000 of 6 per cents, that it will be called upon to
redeem. The balance will be continued at the
rate of per cent., the holders having signi
fied their intention of accepting the offer
made by Secretary Windom. The small
amount which wifi have to be redeemed wifi
be paid without any trouble out of surplus
revenue?. If anything was necessary to make
certain the success of Wi adorn’s finan
cial policy, the result of the offer
to continue the sixes at 3>4 per cent,
supplies that deficiency. The offer to con
tinue the fives at the same rate are coming in
rapidly. They will all be continued with
but a small exception This success must of
course be very gratifying to the country as
showing how well the public credit is. It also
shows that if people are willing to take readily
3J4 per cent, interest without any guarantee as
to how long they are to enjoy that rate there
would be no difficulty in placing a three per
cent, refunding bond as agreed upon by the
Democrats of the last Congress. How far
foreign holders have that confidence in our
credit the management of the continuance of
the six per cents, do-s not show. But very
few of them were held abroad. The success
iu dealing with the 5s will, however, show
if foreigners are willing to accept the lower
rate of interest instead of demanding the re
demption of their bonds. A larre amount of
the 5s are held abroad, and the United States
has established an agenev at London to facili
tate the woik necessary for the continuance of
5s at 3 )4 per cent! among foreign holders. The
result can hardly prove but very favorable.
Thus it will be seen that all the success pre
dicted for Windoai’s policy will be realized.
TU! CONKLING BUSINESS.
The interest in Conkling and his little the •
atrical trick has about disappeared. The only
interest felt concerning him is a sort of langui i
one as to whether he can come back to the
Senate. The politicians hive about settled it
that he c mnot, and that he will have full
scope to satisfy bis desire to resume the prac
tice of law. Nobody sympathizes with him
The verdict is a universal one of serve him
right. Reports which reach us from New York
city and Albany are all very bad for the boss.
I hey say t at he is done for this time certain.
But as yet Conkling has made no open move.
Some people seem to think that when he does
there will be a decided change in his prospects.
r l his can hardly be. While he has done noth
ing openly, it is known ihit he has been at
work quietly, and not with success which con
duces to the pleasure of his slumbers at night.
THE successful man.
Nothing succeeds like success, of a verity. If
Conkling had whipped the administration lu
his war upon it instead of getting most round
ly walloped himself, Uarfield would now be, in
the ey s of the politicians, as small a man as
even Hayes. Being the victor, he is a much
bigger man than old Grant, with all of the third
term crowd attached. He has many more sup
porters now than he really cares for. His oit
terest opponents of yesterday now shout for
him with a loud voice, and neve- were any
thing but Garfleld men. The President is a re
markably good politician Such of these con
verts as amount to anything, he hears, listens
to, and acts upon their advice. He gives them
some loaves and thus gets them for his own
use. He is playing it very finely, even with an
Italian hand. Being an avowed candi
date for a second term, he is using
hit success to lurther that candidacy; and
using it in a manner which commands the
highest admiration of all who watch the un
dercurrent of everts. Jim Biaine is disposed
to take upon himself vrry much of the credit
of the victory over Conkling. Very many
were at first willing to accord him a great de rl
as instigator and manager of ths fight. But it
has beejme known that while he seconded the
President the latter planned and executed the
campaign That such was the case the Presi
dent himself takes the pains to let his v sitors
know. On account of these developments
“Jim Blaine, of Maine,” is not of near tne im
portance, politically, that he might wißh to be.
This is a personal administration—or rather an
administration of the first person, with Gar
field using the personal pronoun.
BEGINNING TO LEAVE.
People are beginning to get out of the city.
The weather has been rather cool with the ex
ception of a few days about a fortnight ago.
But it is begitmng to warm up a little, and the
moderately well-off people have commenced
the summer exodus. The wealthy began to
leave some time ago. They go out by dates,
not by the weather. The people of Washing
ton have a habit of rushing to the Sunday pa
pers with announcements of all their move
ments In that way e are kept pretty well
posted as to personal movements. From these
sources—if me people announce themselves
correctly—there are going to be a large num
ber of Washingtonians this summer canaling
it at Venice and looking at the dances in the
Jardin Mobile. There will not be much Wash
ington news in the journals of the country this
summer. AU of the correspondents are going
abroad to try and spend some of their largely
accumulated gains. Potomac.
A Soldier of Fortune—“A Novel
Ready Made.”
A Hungarian paper, under the title of
“A Novel Ready Made,” tells the follow
ing story as one that will shortly have
to be told in a law court at Budapest:
“In 185- a merchant of that town (S )
. had a son whose extravagance giving
him great trouble, he thought it best to
obtain him a commission iu the Austrian
army. The young man had risen to tbe
rank of Lieutenant when the war of 1859
broke out. Being sent against the
Piedmontese, he thought proper to de
sert to the enemy, but on the first en
gagement lie was captured by the
Austrians, and would at once
have been brought before a court
martial if he had not fallen dan
gerously ill of a fever. Qn the day of
the battle of Magenta ho lay in the mili
tary hospital there. The hospital was
hastily evacuated by the Austrians after
the battle, the patients who were suffi
ciently recovered were hurriedly re
moved, and the rest abandoned to the
mercy of the French. There were thus
left behind in one room the young S
and a Lieutenant Colonel of Spanish
origin, Count Rodrigue* by name. Be
tween the departure of the Austrians and
the arrival of the French the latter died,
and young S felt himself strong
enough to make such alterations in the
arrangements of the room as should in
dicate that he himself was the Count
Rodrigue*. The peace of Yillafranca
found him restored to health and
liberty and in the possession
of Count Rodiguez'B papers, cash
and name. With this stock in trade our
hero set up as a man of fashion in
Petersburg, where he gained the heart,
of the daughter of a Russian Rear Ad
miral, , whom, with her father’s
consent, he married. When the young
wife was about to become a mother the
false Count proposed that they should
visit his ancestral home. He did not,
however, take hey any further than
Hamburg, whence he wrote to bis fathr r

A Cannon to Shoot Tf~ Miles.
The qi&iUBS nf tne patterns for the
ij'yman-Haskell accelerating or multi
charge gun, at the Scott Foundry of the
Reading Iron Works, was begun this
morning. Tfie gun will be twenty-five
feet lone and have a bore six inches in
diameter. Along the bore four pockets
will be located, in each of whieh a
charge of powder will be placed, with
the view of accelerating the speed of the
ball after it leaves the chamber of the
gun and duriDg its progress through the
bore. Experts who have seen the draw
ings and have given the subject of the
manufacture of heavy ordnance a study,
have expressed the opinion that the gun
will throw a ball a distance of ten to
twelve miles, whereas five miles is a
good range for the best cannon. The
charge qf powder will be 130 pounds,
and tue weight of shot 150 pounds. It
is calculated that a shot from the gun

THE JEWS IN RUSSIA.
Their Persecution and Massacre
Engineered by the Nihilists.
Vienna Correspondence London Telegraph.
A gentleman who passed through
Vienna yesterday on his way home
from the far East, via Baku, Tiflis and
Charkoff, assured me that the agitation
against the Jews in South Russia has
assumed proportions of which Western
Europe is not yet aware. He reached
Elisabetbgrad during the recent disturb
ances, and gathered the particulars he
gave me from residents of that town and
neighborhood. He accounts for the
scarcity of news from that part of
Russia by the fact that the telegraph
officials will not accept messages in any
foreign language, while those written in
Russian are revised by the Censor prior
to transmission. The post is scarcely a
safer means of communication, there be
ing at present a regular system of letter
opening for foreign postal service. My
friend’s informant told him the anti-
Jewish movement in Russia is entirely
the work of the revolutionist?. They
understand that it would be of no avail
to appeal to an ignorant and bigotedly
loyal peasantry on grounds of political
emancipation. Ivan Ivanovitch knows
little, and is careless about constitutions
and administrative reform. It would be
worse than useless to talk to him on such
subjects. The revolutionists have con
sequently touched another chord, and
have excited his religious fanaticism.
They have represented the Jews as a
source of all the evils with which Russia
is afflicted. They are held up to popular
reprobation as the assassins of the late
Czar, and Jessie Helfmann, the Jewess,
who was implicated in the conspiracy
against his life, is designated as having
been the soul of the whole plot. The
Czar’s assassination happened on a day
that is kept up festively by the Jews in
Russia, and after the event they were
charged with having made merry in an
ticipation of what was going to happen.
The object of the revolutionists is
to create a popular rising, in which
the troops might be called upon
to defend the Jews against the
Christians. They anticipate that
either the troops would, under such
circumstances, refuse duty or that the
people would be so infuriated that a
general rising would ensue. The offl
cers themselves apprehend the former
contingency; but in either case the op
portunity would be favorable for the
revolutionists, and they would know
how to turn it to account. The atroci
ties committed at Elisabetbgrad, said my
infoimant, must have been fearful to
witness, as an officer who traveled a
short distance with him and who was
present at the time, said he had
seen things that sickened him to think
of. Neither women nor children were
spared, and had not manv of the
Jews been armed a wholesale massacre
would have taken place. At first it was
proposed to burn the Jews’ houses; but
it so happened that at Elisabetbgrad
they do not live in a distinct quarter of
the town. Their houses are not separa
ted from the Christians’, so the latter
would have suffered from a conflagra
tion. It appears that, at a small locality
named Galta, a massacre of the Jews
was actually on the point of commencing
when the inhabitants of a neighboring
village, called Oiviopol, came to the res
cue and defended the Jews against their
aggre sors. According to an evening
telegram, there has also been excesses
against the Jews in the government of
Kiev.
A SENSIBLE FASHION.
Dandelions and Daisies, Cowslips
and tirass Worn by New York
Belles.
Providence Journal.
Dandelions arc the height of the
fashion just now, and bouquets of the
golden beauties aaojn the belts or glow
as brooches in the quaint costumes of
fashionable women. Yellow is one of
the prevailing colors, and, therefore,
dandelions are pressed into service.
Tbe New York belles throng at the
floiists' quarters in pursuit of them,
or gather them with their own
fair hands from the public parks
and squares. Sometimes the guar
dians of the law will not allow the
least infringement of the stern decree,
“Keep off the grass.” At other times
some of them are more amenable to
feminine persuasive power, and permit
the intruders to gather at their will on
strips of greensward skirting the
avenues. It is an innovation on old'
time manners and customs when cow
slips, daisies and dandelions appear in
the florists’ windows and find buyers
among the leaders of fashion. It is a
commendable taste, however, for few
of the floral gifts that spring holds
in her hand are more beautiful
than <he dandelion, (jotting the grass
with its wealth of gold, now sparkling
in the morning dewrnow glowing with
deeper tint in the noonday sunshine, and
now closing its many blossoms in peace
ful repose as tbe evening shades prevail.
Dandelions, as a passing freak of fash
ion, may lend anew charm to the com
plexion, an added grace to the form of
the fair wearers of the weed, but they
can never, under any other conditions,
be as charming to the lover of floral
beauty, as when, in laviah profusion,
their ’golden circlets gleam among the
emerald grass blades in the freshness of
spring growth.
A Broadway Puzzle.
New York Correspondent Hartford Times.
There are in Broadway three five-story
marble-front buildings which have stood
idle for fifteep years. This property
should he good for $50,000 a year at the
very least. It has not produced a dollar
during the long period named. The taxes
on it amount probably to SIO,OOO a year.
The interest on the money invested in it
must be at least as much more. If it were
rented like other property, it would have
yielded at least $750,000 in the time
named. Instead of that it has cost the
owners in taxes and interest not less than
$300,000. Why is it not rented ? Nobody
knows. There it stands, year after year,
a monument of vacancy and heavy loss,
“To let” hills are on it all tbe time, out
it does not let, I am that it
belongs to a wealthy fra*ily in France,
who sect money here many years ago for
investment. Ttiey have never seen it, and
its control is entirely In tbe hands of an
agent, He watches it closely, and is
always polite to persons making inquiry
about it; but for gome inexplicable reason
he never strikes a bargain with any one.
4 gentleman told me recently that during
a visit to France a few years ago he tried
to see the head of the family that owns
it for the purpose of negotiating for it,
but the Frenchman, a gruff old Count,
would not give him an interview. The

Italian as well Ido French—do you?”
“Yes,” replied the Colonel, “I guess
we’ve both been cultured in the same
hothouse.”
