Eastman Time*: “From a private letter we
learn that sheep are dying at a considerable
rate in tbe lower edge of Laurens. The writer
thinks it is cause-1 from eating something poi
sonous. ‘for the sheep are fat, and will drop
detd while feeding along, without any appar
ent evidence of disease; nor does the carcass
show any signs except foaming at the mouth,’
1 his strikes us as raiher startling news. We
remember a good many years ago, and so far
as w know it may be true yet, that parties
drivirg sheep to the Savannah market
were more or less troubled. When within a
few miles of the city, It was said there was a
poisonous wed, of which sheep were very
fond, but would soon die after eating it. Can
it be that this weed, or s -mething similar, has
found its way up the count'y • Since writing
the above we learn from Dr. J. 31.
Buchan of our town, who is a large she- p
raiser, that sheep have been dving in b<s
range at an unusual rate since shearing time.
He thinks the fat dity is attributable to natural
causes, superinduced by the overcrowded con
dition of the range in certain localities.”
Sandersville Herald: “On Sunday afternoon
San-iersville was visited with a heavy rain, ac
c n.pvnird with considerable thunder and
lightning, as well a' with hail and violent wind.
The rods upon the Gilmore House. Mrs Brook

Oallaher and Mr M. H. Boyer were all struck
by lightning, but happily none were injured, iu
each case the current running harmlessly down
theiods. The points at the top of the rods of
Mr Boyer's house were fused by the tiish. His
little son was for a time much stunned. A tree
near Mr. Minton’s residence was com
pletely riven to splinters by a stroke of
the subtle fl lid. It is hu: seldom that
so many points as near each other
are struck during one storm The hail on
Harris street beyond tbe court house square
was very heavy, and crops of Mr. R T. Pounds.

Bryant Watkins’ residence are completely rid

out on Harris street, we learn. Feveral shade
trees were blown down by the wind, which re
sembled a cyclone in its rotary motion. Bo
thick were they near Mr. Tapper’s and also
rear Mrs. Happ’s residence, that the debris
had to be removed before vehicles could pass
One tree was blown across tbe residence of
Mr B. R Smith, on Haynes s-reet. We are
grateful, however, to be able to add that we
have no casualty to report.’’
Baiubtidge Democrat: • “Our readers cer
tainly Lave not yet forgotten the terrible
tragedy which look place near the city on the
night of the 17th of July last. It was the
assassination of Mrs. Brockett. in which three
ra'serable wretches, yclep* men, played dif
ferent part* The three men were Walter T.
Williams. John Williams and Robert Durham
Tbe murder w.vs arranged by Walter Williams,
who paid his brother John and Robert Durham,
after plying them with mean whisky, to go to
the humble log cabin of the widow Brockett
and take her life. He (Walter) then goes to a
neighbors house Mid spends the night, in
order to prove an slibi before the
Coroner's jury, which ha knew was inevi
table. Durham and John Williams went
to Mrs Brockett's house, saw her lying on the
floor, with her little child beside her, when
Durham flred the conten’s of the gun, buck
and small shot, into the victim, killing her al
most inst ntly, and wounding the child. Such,
in brief, are the facts under the testimony.
The mea were all arrested two weeks after the
murder, and all waived a commitment trial
and went to jail. Learned, able and eloquent
legal counsel was employed by the Williams
brother*, aad Judge Fleming called an extra
term of the Superior Court last August to try
them. After several days i’ was decided to try
John Williams alone. For over a week, we ra.y
*sy. the trial ragei with a fury seldom known.
Delay seemed the poliev of the defense, and
immediate trial that of the prosecution. How
ever, Williams went to tritf. and the jury re
turned a verdict by a vote of 8 to 4 of imprison
ment for life. Bentence was passed, counsel
appealed to the Supreme Court, w here the ca.-e
now stands unreached, and John Williams has
been in ja.il h re ever sirce awaiting their de
cision Kail had never been asked ia a crime
so shocking and the other prisoners were glad
to wait in durance vile the trial of their crime.
In the meantime the lamented Judge Flem
ing died, and Judge Warren, a confirmed in
valid, was appointed in his stead, hence the
other trials have never been prr-ce ded with.
Thee unsel for Williams, however, were never
idle—always at work. Bo they asked Judge
Warren to'turn Walter T. Williams out under
bond, and to fix his bail. This the Judge con
sented to do, and did do, fixing the amount of
bail at s:x thousand dollars! Our community
were startled, sh'eked, stu; efied. when this
announcement was made, bix thousand dol
lars bail for the instigator of one of the most
foul, bloody, inexcusable and damnable as
sassinations that ever stained the records of
crime I Last Tue day the bond was given to
th Sheriff, and he a', once set the prisoner
free.”
Reply to “.(lockbolder” and “Philo
J unfa*.”
Savannah, June 23.— Editor Morning
Atm: it would appear from the communi
cation of “Stockholder,” In his number five,
that I am called upon to make reply. I
have already presented my views of the
case. I have eimp'y used the figures o' his
rittd ‘ Philo Junius.” I have deducted
the surplus from last year ($39(5,919 73) be
cause they don’t belong: in this year’s earn
ings, and “Stockholder” knows It.
I wish “Stockholder” to understand that
I have used no figures of my own, but have
merely criticised those of “Philo JunlU9,”
and asked for the real facts In the case. I
confess that as yet I am not the least en
lightened, unless It be In a few minor item*,
which are so small that my opinions and
fears remain unaltered.
Why does “ Stockholder ” not refute the
figures given by his Mend, “Pnllo Jumu?,”
and corrected by m> *
In mv statement (taking the figures of
“Philo J unius” without the surplus from
last year) the condition of the road at the
end of the fiscal year will appear just about
as I have made it, and I now call the atten
tion of “Stockholder,” “Philo Junius,” and
the public to this fact.
Both of these gentlemen may be directors
for aught 1 know, and if “Stockholder” is
one, he must certainly be one of the old di
rectors, and, being so, it comes with grace
from him to ssy “we should not blame the
Innovators for the large debts contracted In
I*o and 1881.” He may do himself an in
justice if he keeps on at this rate.
Suppose, row, I admit that “Stockholder”
is right (which I do to give mat
ters the most favorable light possible),
and the public will see at once that the divi
dends this year have not b?en paid our of
net earning?, but out of the surplus from
last year, and the various dividend* on
stock*, etc , owned by the Central. Now,
“B‘ockholder” knows that those same
sources of revenue cannot bs depended
upon next year, for they s'dd within
ihe last sixty dsv* th" $300,(W0 Mobile and
Girard bonds and 8,000 shares of 8 u b west
erns tock. We do not question wby they sold
them, we simply know they are gone for
ever, and there must have ueeu some urgent
nec salty or good reason for disposing cf
the in.
He says he has an abldkMt faith that
mother earth will sm'le tuaWpropltiouely
uj on ns next year. Faith and figures don’t
work In the same harness. We may hops
she will not disappoint us another season.
But that is in the future. I prefer to fpeak
of th“ present. The Georgia Killroad may
not bring us in debt next year, but It has
done so this year, and will so appear In the
President’s report. It would be simply
ridiculous tn making up the expenses for
this year for “Stockholder” to say "elimi
nate the SBO,OOO loss on the Geor la Rtii
road because she won’t do so any more.” I'
may profit the Central milllous some other
year, bat not this year, and It is this year we
are trying to get at.
The reports of Bradutrett and the Agri
cultuial Bureau do not give us flittering
hopes for another season, but rather the
contrary.
Now 1 believe the figures of “Philo Junius”
are a little wrong In some minor points, but
he muet answer for them himself.
I want “Stockholder” to tell me If the net
earnings for this fl?cal year will exceed
$975 000. If so, how much? I ask him If he
does’not know they will be les-? This is the
most important point. Upon it binges the
whole question and the public sees how
sedulously he avoids it. Now 1 will tell h m
that the fixed charges that must absolutely
be paid are as follow!:
Rental of the Southwestern $ 352.000
Rental of Augusta and Sav-mnab 73 0 0
Rental ot Eatooton Branch 14.000
Interest ou $5,000,000 first mortgage
bonds * 350,000
lb tcrest on $4,610,000 debentu res 278,00 J
$1,040,000
Now I ask him if the net earnings of the
read th tytar will be sufficient to meet these
expense*? Then I would like to know if
the Ocean Steamship Company’s earnings,
and the income from all other sources, will
have warranted the declaration of an 8 per
cent, dividend?
If he will answer this question fairly and
squarely, mv mind will be at rest, but let
him bear tn mind that I speak only of thi*
year. Very respectfully, Tbctb.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Internal Revenue Redactions—Mr.
Stephens’ Views on tbe Subject—
memorial Tribute to Congressman
Allen.
Washington, June 23.—1n the Senate to
day Mr. Beck offered a resolution reciting
that It Is alleged that the directors of some
national bank In Richmond, Va., have been
permitted to file In the office of the Comp
troller of the Currency a modified oath with
substantially the following proviso: “The
above Is subscribed to In all respects except
so far as it applies to the rate of Interest
allowed by law In this Btate.”
The resolution directs the Secretary of the
Treasury to furnish a certified copy of all
oaths which were taken by directors of na
tional banks in Richmond, which were on
file In the Comptroller’s office during the
years 1879 and 1880. Adopted.
The Senate took up the rule recently re
ported from the Committee on Rules to set
tle the right of the President pro tem. to
desigea'e bis eubstltute in case of absence.
After occupying three-fourths of the time
allotted for the morniDg business, the mat
ter was referred with the amendments sug
gested by Messers. Brown and Gorman to
the Committee on Rules for further con
sideration.
The Hcu*e bill to establish a uhiform
system of bankruptcy came up as the regu
lar order.
Tbe discussion of this bill occupied nearly
the remainder of the day’s session. It was
finally laid aside until Monday.
The Senate then took up and passed the
Senate bill to pav for the use by the gov
ernment of tbe Protestant Orphan Asylum
propenv at Natchez.
At 3:45 the House resolutions comtnemcra
Uve of the late Representative Allen, of
Missouri, were received, and after Impres
sive remarks upon tbe life and servtces of
the deceased by Messrs. Cockrell, Dawes,
Brown and Vest, the usuai mortuary reso
lutions were adopted, and the Senate, at 5
o’clock, adjourned.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
In the House, Mr. Townsbend, of Illinois,
gave not.ee that If the Committee of Ways
and Means did not at an early day report a
resolution for a Una! adjournment of Con
gress, he would himself make a motion to
that effect.
Mr Kelley, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Means, stated
that the matter would be brought, to the
attention of the House after the next com
mittee meeting.
Mr. Kissou, of lowa, from the Committee
of Ways and Means, reported back a bill
amending section 2983 of the Revised Stat
utes, providing that the dues paid on sugar
shall be asssessed on t,he quintity delivered
from Instead of the quantity entered into a
a bonded warehouse. Referred to the com
mittee of the whole.
The Hou j e then, at 11:25, went Into com
mittee of the whole and resumed consider
ation of the bill to reduce io'ernal revenue
taxation, it being agreed tba' general de
bate thereon should close at 3 o’clock, at
which hour eul >gfes on the life and charac
ter of the late Thomas Allen, of Missouri,
would be delivered.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, said that the
bill was right ss far as it wen’, but that it
did not go nearly as far as Jie would have
wished. He thought thattbe entire internal
revenue system ought to be abolished. In
ternal taxes, except in time of war,
were anil-republican and undemocratic.
They were in opposition to the general policy
of this government. They were of British
origin, and had always been viewed with
the bitterest odium. The beet way in
which to raise revenue was
by import duties. They bore
lees heavily on tax payers, and that wa6
what legislators ought to look to. A gen
eral debate followed, which occupied the
time until 3 o’clock, when the committee
rose. After eulogistic addresses by Messrs.
Riblnsoa, of Mississippi. Hewitt, of New
York, and Hatch ami Frost, of Miss url,
the House, out of respect to the memory
of tbe deceased (Mr. Allen), at 4:10, ad
journed.

town cf Malcolm, in Poweshiek county, was
visited for three hours by a pitiless storm.
The damage to goods rescued from Satur
day’s hurricane is enormous, and will pro
bly amount to total destruction.
At Pleasantville, Marlon county, the resi
dence of P. Lyon was badlj twisted, and the
props placed against it on the east side
were driven through the wall. Numerous
chimneys and shade and fruit trees in that
vicinity were blown down, and signs and
awnings whisked away. It is thought the
damage east and north of these points Is
even more serious.
Dubuque, June 23 —A heavy rain and
wind storm passed during yesterday after
noon from along the lines of the
Illinois Ceutral Railroad west of here
and great damage was done. At
Independence the telegraph wires
are all prostrated and it Is impossible to
communicate with that place. From reports
of railroad passengers from that district It
appears that it struck Independence at a
Hale before five o’clock and wrought great
destruction, fences were torn up, barns
wrecked, houses leveled and trees uprooted.
Nearly all the business houses were un
roofed and plate glass smashed. Tbe depot
of the Burlington, Cedar Ripids and North
ern R diroad Company is said to be a wreck.
A bridge across the river is said to hi ve
been Injured. S.lls’ circus exhibited at
Independence, and the circus tent
was badly damaged, and one
wagon containing animals was lifted
bodily from the ground and carried some
distance. A large number of people were
Id the town, and many of their horses were
killed by flying debris, and their wagons
broken. Two men were killed. At Water
loo the force of the wind was terrific, but
it is not known that sell :us damage was
done. The tents of the military encamp
ment were ruined. The storm struck Du
buque at 6 o’clock, but no special injury
was inflicted.
ERIE ON A DOOM.
Singular Phenomenon at Cleveland
—The Water* ol the Lake Invade
the City.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 23 —A remarka
ble tidal wave swept over the lake front at
0 o’clock this morning. The wave was
about two mlle6 wide and eleven feet higher
than the surface of the lake. It came in
the wake of a dense, angry looking, black
and gray cloud, which moved northward
over the city. There was no rain nor wind
at the lake shore, but rain fell In some parts
of the city, and the wind blew fiercely south
of the town. Vessels parted their lines at
themou’hof the river, and the piers and
docks were submerged to a depth of four
feet.
In some places hundreds of fiih were cast
ashore. The fires in the Lake Erie RolllDg
Mill on the river beach were put out. A
scow loaded with sand, ly ng at the break
water, was landed high and dry on the
shore. A section of the railway near the
Union Depot was ripped up, and numerous
switch shanties and small buildings were
overturned or moved about. Some iron
rails, twenty eight feet long, piled near the
depot, were lifted up and scattered In
every direction. Huge logs were washed
ashore at the life saving station. A
stenmer was badly wrecked and various
other damage was done. The wave lasted
only about one minute. Several parties
who were fishing in skiffs, report that there
was a sudden rise iu the water aDd a violent
commotion like a whirlpool. The skiffs
weathered the singular storm without acci
dent. The damage to property on shore Is
roughly estimated at $30,000. Steamboat
men, who came in this morniDg, report a
short, (quail and a sudden movement of the
wa’er off this port, of which no particular
notice was taken at the time. So far one
life lost and a tramp drowned.
A BIG HAUL.
A St. Lonls Rank Teller Comes to
Grief.
Bt. Louis, June 23 Receiving Teller
Owen, of the Third Natioaal Bank of St.
Louis, was arrested last night on the charge
of having embezzled $150,000 of the bank’s
funds. His operations have extended over
several years.
A warrant was sworn out bv the Presi
dent of the hank, Thomas E. Tutt, this
mornlrg, against. Owen Ir. charz s him
with embezzlement of $150,000. Piesldent
Tutt. also filed an attachment suit In the
civil courts against property owned by
Owen to 'he amount of $70,000. Owen’s
bond is for $30,000, and the sureties are re
sponsible parties, so that the loss to the
bank will, after all, not be great.
A heartrending scene occurred in the
calaboose this morning when Owen’s 6lster
v slted him. She broke down completely,
threw herself on his breast and wept bit
terly. Owen was unmanned and fainted.
A physician was called In, and said that he Is
prostrated. It now appeirs that Owen was
a silent partner in the firm of Obey, Owen
A: Cos . iu which his fatter was an active
partner, and it Is presumed that the
money was lost through this firm. Owen's
father, however, states positively that the
money was not used bv the firm, and that he
is Ignorant of how his son go*, rid of It.
Owen confessed that his defalcation had
extended over ten years.

Many markets are a penny dearer. Cargoes
off coast are firmly held and scarce. For
wheat, after Tuesday, there was a
good Inquiry, and pricee were rather
higher. Cora was strong and 3d. dearer.
There was a moderate attendance at to

WILL HE CHEAT THE HALTER I
Two Cabinet meetings Yesterday—
Belief mat He Will be Reprieved
In Order to Determine bis Sanity.
Washington, June 23.—The Cabinet to
night bad a long discussion about Golteau
and the application for a reprieve in his case
to have considered fully the question of his
Insanity. It was agreed that nothing should
be given to the press. In the absence of
anything definite there is a good deal of con
jecture. The general Impression is that tbe
reprieve will be granted.
An associated press dispatch says; “Two
sessions of the Cabinet were held to-day,
the second one late this evening. Both
were devoted to hearing the appeals for a
reprieve for Gulteau. It Is generally
believed that it has been decided to
grant a reprieve for a short time in order to
allow time for au examination of Qulteau
by medical experts with a view to settle the
question of his sanity.”

TALLAHASSEE TOPICS.
The Supreme Court— Florida Cigars
—Middle Florida Fall Fair—The
Negroes’ Holiday—The Late Col.
Brevard.
TALLAHissEK, June 21. Editor Morning
News: The “heated term” is now upon us, the
trucking season about over,and now that there
to a business lull, the dullness corresponds
with the heat—it to not very pleasant. Plant
ers being busy at this season superintending
the last plowing, visit our city only when com
pelled by urgent necessity. Only on Satur
days, when cur colored agriculturists toill take
a holiday, do our streets present an animated
appearance.
Our Supreme Court is still in session, and on
account of the unusually heavy docket for this
season, is likely to be for some time. So far,
forty-eight cases have been docketed, of which
ten have been disposed of. There are more
cases from Jacksonville and Pensacola, in tbe
fourth and first circuits respectively, than
from any other points in the State. From this
section there are but very few. Asa general
rule the larger the business transacted in any
community, the greater the litigation, and
hence the cities of Jacksonville and Pensacola
are more largely represented by the legal
flaternity in the Supreme Court than any other
section. Of the twenty-seven attorneys from
a distance, who have been in attendance, twelve
were from the two cities above named. Owing
to the excessive heat, the court opens usually
at 9 a. m., and as the bu-iness before it is dis
patched promptly, it is expected that notwith
standing the unusual heavy docket, the present
tenn will not be as long as was first apore
hended. It sometimes happens that the disciple
of Blackstone, after coming a long distance to
the capital with his carefully prepared brief
and the expectation that his case will occupy
the attention of the court tor at least a half of
a day, finds to his chagrin that it is “dismissed
on motion” for some irregularity, and so it
may happen at this term. On account of tbe
United States Circuit and District Courts being
now in session at Jacksonville, all of the Jack
sonville bar who were in attendance last week
have left, and the court is now engaged in hear
ing the argument on cases from Pensacola.
In a former communication I alluded to the
cigar factory of Mr. Witts, of this place. This
gentleman manufactures exclusively cigars
m ade from Florida tobacco, and has succeeded
where others failed. The great objection here
tofore to the Florida cigar has been a peculiar
bitter taste, aud hence the difficulty of finding
a market. Mr. Wilts informs me that he has
overcome that difficulty. The Florida leaf, he
pays, must be handled very differently from
other tobacco, and his success is owing to the
secret of resweating and rebandiing, a patent
for which he has applied for. His is the only
factory, I believe, in the State where cigars
are made exclusively from Florida to
bacco. Key West, Jacksonville and
other points boast of their cigar
factories, but the tobacco used ia nearly all
imported. Hence to this enterprising gentle
mau alone is due the palm of being the suc
cessful pioneer of a future great industry. He
informs me that a few days since he visited
Gadsden county for the purpose of ascertain
ing the prospects of the coming crop of tobac
co. and found that there would not be
half enough raised to meet his demands.
The Cuban seed is used, and direc
tions given to those engaged in the culture.
Mr. Witls already has more orders than he can
fill, and though he could import the Havana
and increase his force he has wisely deter
mined to confine himself to the manufacture
from the Cuban Florida leaf. Another year
there will be a still larger crop made, and to
hacco culture will soou be more largely en
gaged in.
Though this is the dull season, the directors
of the Middle Florida Agricultural and Me
chanical Association have not been idle. Al
ready preparations are being made for their
fall fair. With a praiseworthy spirit of pluck,
they have determined to inaugurate the
completion of the Pensacola and Atlantic Rail
road, tha opening of the fine, new hotel here,
and the incipiency of various public enter
prises, by a fall fair that will surpass in the
variety of its exhibits and other attractions,
any similar exhibition of the kind ever held in
this section. And a magnificent success it will
be if energy and well directed effort can avail.
It is the design of the directors to appoint an
agent at once to thoroughly canvass this coun
ty, to visit the planters at th -ir homes, appeal to
their pride and interests as agriculturists, and
explain fully the advantages of a full exhibit
next fall. It will not be purely an agricultural
display, but as varied and interesting as can be
made. Not only will there be the usual agri
cultural exhibit, but the fine arts will also have
a place assigned them. I was recently shown
by Rev. W. L Hugon, of this place, a magnifi
cent oil painting copied from one of Rafael’s
best. It was brought over by Mr. Hugon from
France last fall, and it is his intention, after
having it handsomely framed, to place it on
exhibition at the coming fair. As such a chef
d’ ouvre is not often seen in this section, its ex
hibit will add considerably to the attractions of
the occasion. A list of premiums will soon be
published, and our entire community look for
ward to the Middle Florida Fall Fair with no
little interest, for it will doubtless be the larg
est and most successful ever held here.
With the hot weather and laying by of the
cotton crop comes the season of cheap excur
sions by our colored community. Tbe Ameri
can c tizen o’ African descent, unlike bis Anglo-
Saxon neighbor, will have a good time of it as
long as the money holds out. He takes no
thought of the future, but mindful of the old
adage, “Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof,” makes the most of his opportunity in
enjoying what he considers the good things of
this life. In the course of a week or two
flaming posters signed “by the committee” will
announce a cheap excursion to Jacksonville,
and more than one luckless housekeeper will
b 9 deprived of her “help” or cook, for many
avail themselves of these occasions because of
cheap rates to emigrate elsewhere. The dense
population of the colored element in this com
munity causes labor to be comparatively cheap
to what it is in other sections. Hence the
exodus in the summer season. The husbands
and fathers go in the early part of the year to
work on the different railroads
being constructed in ffast and
South Florida, and their families follow
in the summer. It is estimated that not less
than two thousand have thus gone from our
midst in the last four or five years And yet,
judging from the numbers seen on our streets
every Saturday, there is scarcely a perceptible
diminution Wages are still low, and “help”
for the house and field can be easily obtained.
For one, however, I do not regard this ex odus
with joy. We need the help of “our brother
in black,” and the time is rapidly approach
ing when his services will be more in demand
than ever. The new industries now being so
successfully inaugurated will, in a very few
years, require a large increase of aborers, and
to those who understand the African, as does
the native Southron, the services of the former
cannot be easily dispensed with. He cares not
for the fierce rajs of the sun during the sum
mer solstice, but works patiently and uncom
plainingly. If well fed, promptly paid and
wisely directed, he gives satisfaction. Of
course there are some exceptions, but take
him all in all, no other kind of laborer can
well supply his place.
At last we are to have anew court
house. Some three years ago the old
one was destroyed by flre; and now thattbe
amount necessary to build anew one has been
raised by toxatian. tbe County Commissioners,
after adopring plans, are to-day to open the
proposals of bidders. The new structure will
be an honor to our capital city. I have seen the
plans, which were drawn by one of the most
experienced and able architects in the Bouth,
and when completed it will be the finest build
ing ever erected in the city. The Clerk’s and
County Judge’s offices will have fireproof
vaults connected with them, so that should
there unfortunately be another flre, no valua
ble records will be destroyed. The cost of the
building will probably be between fifteen and
twenty thousand dollars.
Our James Islanders are still busy preparing
for their summer exodus. Two families have
already left, a steamer has been temporarily
chartered, and others will follow in a few
days. Etrenuous efforts to have a semi weekly
mail by steamer between Bt. Mark’s and Apa
lachicola, touching at Bt. Teresa and Cara
belle are being made. Should such a contract
bs awarded, a steamer will be put on the route
at once. Such a line would do a good freight
and passenger business, and assist materially
in building up all that section of country.
Our community was greatly shocked to day
by hearing of the sudden death of Colonel T.
W. Brevard. He died of apoplexy at
bis residence last night. He was a
gallant ex Confederate, and served
with distinction in the army of North
ern Virginia. In 1861 he went to Virginia with
the Second Florida Regiment as Captain, and
served until the reorganization of the regi
ment in 1862. Returning home he was elected
Major in anew regiment, the Tenth Florida, I
think. This regiment having been ordered to
Virginia in 1664 he rose rapidly, for he was a
gallant officer and a great favorite with the
division commander. He was first promoted
to a Lieutenant Colonelcy, then to a Colonel,
and was finally recommended as Brigadier
General. It is said that his commission as such
had actually been issued and would have been
received by him but for his capture a few days
before the surrender at Appomattox Court
House. Afthr tbe war he commenced tbe prac
tice of law, for which he had previously quali
fied himself, and soon rose to be one of the
le&diDg lawyers in this State. There wei e few
more talented. His fluent delivery and quick
perception of the ieadiog points in a case,
gained for him deserved reputation. Asa
criminal lawyer, he hd not an equal in the
State, for I have never known him to lose a
case. On the announcement of his death in
the Supreme Court rooms, this morning, the
court immediately adjourned, out of respect to
his memory. He was universally esteemed,
aad deservedly popular with all classes.

The agent of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society In New York says the Jewish refu
gees from Russia are a very peculiar people,
and the customary manner of dealing with
immigrants will not answer at all with them.
The Swedes or the Germans can be aeparat
ed and placed in families or on farms all
over the country, while these Russians want
to go together in large bodies, so that they
may keep up their religious rites and con
tinue to live apart from the rest of the world
m much as possible. Not one out of a hun
dred understands a word of English, and
few have any trade beyond that of shop
keeping and peddling. The experiment of
settling them as farmers at Vineland, N. J.,
however, appears to be working well. About
300 are now there engaged in felling trees,
clearing the ground, and doing rough farm
work.
ARABI AROUSED.
BESOLVED ON RESISTANCE.
Hl* Plan* to Oppoae Intervention—
The Power* and tbe Conference.
London, June 23.—An Alexandria corre
spondent telegraphs that he is Informed on
the best authority that If France and Eng
land Interfere actively in Egyptian affairs,
Arabi Pasha will blow up the Suez canal,
cut the railway to Cairo and oppose the
landing of European troops In Alexandria.
If beaten he will retire to the Desert, where
he is promised the support of 30,000 Be
douins, partisans of Prince Ballm. The
Egyptian Ministry are prepared to sanction
the above on patriotic grounds.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
Mr. Gladstone, in replying to Sir Stafford
Northcote, stated that all the representatives
of the powers at Constantinople, except
Austria, have received Instructions for their
guidance at the conference. He said he
had no reason to think that Austria objected
to joining the conference.
In reply to another question Mr. Glad
stone satd that the whole subject of the
control of the government and administra
tion of the Suez canal was outside the
scope of the conference.
In the House of Lords this afternoon
Lord Granville announced that Austria has
now consented to join the conference.
The official correspondence on the Egyp
tian question shows that Prince Bismarck
informed Count Von Munster, the German
Ambassador here, that he was opposed to
joining English and French Intervention in
Egypt because he believed it would lead to
disagreement and In a quarrel between
France and England, which, whatever might
be said of his supposed policy, he would be
glad to see avoided.
Lord Granville, Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, In April, suggested that England,
France and Turkey each send a General to
Egypt to restore discipline In the army.
France objected to this plan as dilatory, and
as,possibly,leading to the sending of Turkish
troops on the Sultan’s own authority. On
the 21 of May the French Government sug
gested the sending of fleets, and agreed if
they failed to secure the desired object that
calling in of Turkish troop3 by France and
Eugiand would be the least objectionable
form of armed intervention.
The Standard's correspondent at Alexan
dria telegraphs that Ragheb Pasha, Presi
dent of the Council, has written to the
Italian Consul, as well as a dozen of the di
plomatic corps, inviting him and his col
leagues to appoint delegates on the commis
sion of Inquiry Into the late riots. Sir El

BRITAIN’S REALM.
Released Suspect* Canght Drilling—
Tbe Allea Clause of tbe Repres
sion Bill Adopted.
London, June 23—A company, com
prising Irish noblemen and large land
owners has been formed as a purely com
mercial speculation for the purpose of de
feating the Influence of the Land League and
supplementing the work of the Property
Defence Association and the Emergency
Committee. Capitalists are Invited to take
shares in the company’s stock, which
will take possession of evicted lands and
work them to the greatest public advantage.
The police discovered fifty men drilling
In Klimore, county Roscommon. They
succeeded In capturing three of them. The
prisoners were recognized as released sus
pects.
The House of Commons spent the whole
afternotin discussing the various amend
ments of clause twelve of the re
pression bill, moved by Irish mem
bers, providing that an alien shall be
furnished with a copy of the sworn informa
tion in consequence of which he is to be
expelled, giving him a month’s notice to
quit the kingdom, and provldingfor redress
by action against the Secretary of Btate for
unjust expulsion. The amendments were
opposed by the government, and were with
drawn without a division being taken.
John Bright said it was obvious that the
condition of Ireland was made much worse
by subscriptions raised in America and by
those persons who come from America to
participate In conspiracies. He did not. hesi
tate to say that those subjects of the Queen
who had taken part in the Chicago Conven
tion were traitors to the CrowD, The object
of the clause under discussion was, he said,
to prevent conspirators of the very worst
dye from exciting the people to disorder.
Mr. Seaton warned the government that
the feeling generated among the Irish in
America by seeing their countrymen driven
as aliens from their careers of industry must
cause trouble to Great Britain at no dis ant
day.
The clause was carried by a vote of 132
to 30. _

A MASTODON UNCOVERED.
The Remain* Found In * Swamp
Near Freehold, N. J,
A Freehold dispatch to the New York
Tames of the 17th says: “Wm. H. Reed, a
farmer living about two miles west of this
village, has recently had several workmen
engaged in draining a swampy meadow.
One of the laborers threw out what was at
firet thought to be a large white gravel
atone, but which, on being wiped off by one
of the men, was seen to be an immense
tooth which had evidently belonged to some
large animal. The tooth was about four
inches long and two inches across the top,
and weighing nearly four pounds. The
men were about to resume digging, when
Mr. Reed ordered them to deslat. He ac
quainted Dr. Samuel Lockwood, the natu
ralist. who lives here, with his “find,” and
showed him the tooth. Dr. Lockwood im
mediately declared it to be a molar from the
mastodon. Mr. Lockwood accompanied
Mr. Reed to the place where the remains
were found. This was eyidently the site of
an ancient beaver dam. The laborer had
cut through the remains of the creature at a
point which took away the base of the tusks
and a portion of the face of the animal.
Under the direction of Mr. Lockwood the
digging was resumed. The ends of both
t asks were exposed. The left one was un
covered and carefully lifted out to the
surface of the ground. It was four feet
four inches in length; measuring tie
width of the ditch, which was
eighteen inches, and allowing two feet
for insertion in the skull, the entire length
of the tusk would be seven feet ten inches.
No sooner was the tusk exposed to the at
mosphere than disintegration began, the
tusk falling to pieces in transverse sections,
each section being about one-fourth of an
inch in diameter. In the course of halt an
hour the disintegration bad proceeded so
rapidly that only a crumbly mass was left of
the tusk. When first exhumed the tusk bad
the feeling of a fresh cheese newly cut. On
account of the greater depth of the second
tusk portions of it remained uncovered
while the laborers were at work at the re
mainder, and by the time the hole was un
covered the first part had so far decomposed
as to render it impossible to lift it out.
“On the second day after the discovery
the work of exhuming the body was begun.
Operations commenced at the head, which
was lying within two feet of the surface.
When the laborers had cut down to the head
it was found to be so soft that the bones
were easily cut through with a spade. It
was nearly the color of the black vegetable
mould of the meadow, and was, therefore,
almost indistinguishable. But a careful in
spection showed that the front part of the
head was greatlv similar to that of the ele
phant of the present day, except that the
forehead was abnormally high. By a close
investigation of the skull numerous
air cells, some of them an inch in
diameter, were found. The bone of the
skull was of an immense thickness, but
completely honeycombed with these air
cells. These cells had become filled with
the fibrous roots of plants, which extended
through the entire skull. After digging
through the skull and coming to the lower
part of the head three or four more teeth
similar in shape, size and weight to that
already described were foutd. The teeth,
unlike the tusks and bones, were in
a remarkably good state of preser
vation. The exploration was continued
until the entire body was laid
bare. Beneath the bones was found a
bed of sand, upon which the animal had evi
dently laid down to die. The bones of the
body, though greatly decomposed, were
plainly distinguishable, and the position of
the animal was ascertained. It was lying
with its head to the northeast, and its legs
stretched at right angles to its body and its
head inclined toward its chest. About a
year ago the remains of a megatherium were
found in the marl pits of Marlboro, where
those of smaller sea creatures of that period
are numerous. The discovery of the re
mains of the mastodon is important to geo
logical history, as it has been the general
belief among geologists that at the time the
mastodon lived the coast of New Jersey was
submerged, and that it has risen from the
waters since that time.”
Flipper’s Dismissal.
The Army and Navy Herald , of Washing
ton, announces that the proceedings and
findings of the court martial In the'case of
Becond Lieutenant Flipper, recently dis
missed from the army, will be promulgated
In a few days. He was tried upon two
charges—embezzlement and conduct unbe
coming an officer and a gentleman. On
Saturday last the Secretary of War informed
a representative of the Herald why the case
had been so prolonged. He said:
‘‘The reason this case has been so long
reaching a final settlement is that it was
tlfbught best not to proceed hastily in the
matter. Each charge and specification has
been carefully examined, and all the sur
rounding circumstances thoroughly Investi
gated. Indeed, Lieut. Flipper’s case has
received greater consideration than if he
had been a white man. The reason for this
was that he was the only one of his race
that had ever passed successfully through
the Military Academy. Until the time he
became involved In his present difficulty he
was respected by all who came in contact
with him. He was allowed every oppor
tunity to prove that he could be trusted In
the future, but failed to do so; hence there
was nothing left to do but dismiss him. I
will state, however, that the charge of em
bezzlement was not sustained, but the court
were unanimous that he was guilty of con
duct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man. There was no recommendation for
clemency or any appeal in his behalf. All
talk of political Influence being brought to
bear Is mere chaff. I have never spoken on
the subject to any one except the President
and his Cabinet and the officers of this de
partment who keep the records.”
Most of the lager beer saloons and music
gardens in New York are now more or less
controlled, as In London, by big brewers.
When Calvert & Cos , an immense London
firm, failed for $7,500,000 in 1858, thev re
turned in their schedule 359 public houses
of which they had the freeholds or leld
leases, with stringent stipulations that they
took no ot her beer but theirs. Hence the
‘‘Calvert & Cos. Entire,” “Barclay Perkins &.
Cos, Entire,” etc., inscribed over London
public houses. The Calverts were soon
flourishing again.
