IM.KASAVTS SUCCESSOR.
•I. If. Wimberly the Man Most Spoken
of at the Capital.
Washington, May 11.—Nothing has
been heard at the Treasury Department
concerning Pleasant's Ik uni since the last
instrument of that character was disap
proved. No action will lie taken until
Darnell is heard front. The course in such
matters is for the Distriet Attorney to in
form the delinquent that his bond is not
good, and to report whether he is capable
of complying with the law. As indicated,
Darnell has not yet reported. It is
almost an accepted conclusion among
Treasury officials concerned that
Pleasant cannot make a good
bond. Talk of his probable suc
cessor is therefore indulged in. .1. H.
Wimberly is the man most spoken of.
He is not as strong in tlie estimation of
Secretary Folger as be once was, but lie
is strong. Of all who have been men
tioned since Pleasant made his first-bad
official break Wimberly stands to the fore.
He would have been appointed long ago
bad it not lieen for a certain personal un
certainty of purpose. Unless Pleasant
can give a good bond at an early day it is
pretty certain that Wimberly will succeed
him.
The city is unusually active and lively
for this time of the year. The weather is
hot and enervating, and the customary
'V asbington companion is dullness anil
quietude. But two incentives there are
which keep life busy. The approaching
spring meeting of the National Jockey
Club and the near-at-hand reunion ot the
Grand Army of the Potomac cause ac
tivity when there would otherwise Ik 1 a
dull and dreary routine outside of official
existence. Washington succeeded wonder
fully in its bid for an attractive place in the
racing calendar,and makes a great deal out
of its two meetings a year. It otters good
purses, presents a very good track, and
crowds the grand stand and tlie quarter
stretch. In the way of entertaining
large bodies it has of recent years been
very attentive, and as a consequence is
being favored by those societies which
hold annual reunions. It will spread it
self ujion the occasion of the annual gath
ering of the Army of the Potomac, and
intends to make that body sorry that it
ever met anywhere else. The business
men, usually very backward and conser
vative as regards hospitality, have lieen
taking hold of things very commendablv.
They are succeeding in giving the city a
prestige that lias long been wanting. If
they keep on they will succeed at no dis
tant day in having a Presidential Conven
tion—the ambition of all large and well
organized cities—held here.
Talking with General Wright, Chief
Engineer United States Army to-day, the
topic turned on the question of river and
harbor improvements. General Wright
said that although no appropriation for
work during the fiscal year ending June
3<>th, 1884, had been made, sufficient
money would be holding over from 1883 to
keep iiis department pretty busy. There
will, however, be much actual loss to the
government lieeause of the failure of Con
gress to make a river and harbor appro
priation. The loss will be not only from
delay of works which are important and
absolutely necessary, but from tile work
of deterioration on account of idleness.
The rust of inactivity and the temporary
abandonment of many plants for improve
ment. will cost thousands of dollars. This
will lie actual loss, without considering
the damage which commerce must sustain.
General Wright advanced the opinion
unequivocally, that it would be a long
time before Congress again failed to pass
a river and harbor bill, lie based that
opinion, lie said, not only ui>on a general
hypothesis, but uihui letters el which he
is' daily in receipt from all parts of the
country. In fact the people liegin to rea
lize what the damage a cessation of im
provements may work. There are doubt
less. General Wright said, many improve
ments which have lieen ordered hy Con
gress. that are ill-considered and extrav
agant, but he holds that it is evident that
the country will not submit to total ne
glect in this particular, because of the cry
of "steal" by which the good as well as
the bad has been characterized.

■ •lack Friday’s Most Hideous Incidents
Vividly Portrayed.
Cincinnati, May 11.—A dispatch from
Jackson, Ohio, to the Times-Star says:
“John AV. Jackson was hanged at 1
o’clock this afternoon for the murder of
Samuel L. Hull. Jackson slept soundly
from 9 o’clock last night until 5:30 o'clock
this morning, and ate a hearty breakfast.
He was very particular about his clothing
and appearance. He said nothing on the

RAIDING THE GAMBLERS.
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Tools
Humeri in Public*.
New Orleans, May 11.—The Pica
gline's Nashville (Tenn.) special says:
“Five thousand dollars worth of gambling
apparatus were burned in the public
square yesterday by order of the Criminal
Court. At least 500 gamblers have lett,
or will leave, on account of the act of the
Legislature making gambling a felony.
Many of the sports have gone to Chicago.
Atlanta, May 11.—The raid by the po
lice on the Big Bonanza gambling saloon
last night, is a death blow to the last
prominent gambling hell on the main
street. The gamblers say to-day that it
was not in operation, but that is “too
thiii,” as the police captured talilep,
checks, money and other appliances. At
lanta's leading gamblers are rich and in
ftueutial, and use poor fellows to run their
establishments, so that they themselves
escaped notoriety.
STAR ROUTE ARGUMENTS.
An Effort to Secure but One Summing
up for Each Defendant.
AVashington, May 11.—In the star
route trial to-day Mr. AA'ilson concluded
his introductory remarks and then began
the discussion of the different routes
named in the indictment, following the
example of the prosecuting counsel. AVhen
the hour for adjournment was reached
Mr. AA’ilson had disposed of three of the
nineteen routes. The court then said that
it was manifest that the argument under
the present arrangement would lie pro
tracted, and the counsel were therefore |
notified that one representative only would
Ik? heard for each defendant,
the defense protesting against this
ruling, and asserting that time would Ik?
saved by an adherence to the original
plan, as’the counsel would not cover the
same ground in their arguments. The
only effect of their appeals, however, was
to ’induce Judge AVyllie to withhold
until Monday formal ruling in the matter.
The court adjourned until Monday.

SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1883.
ABORIGINES OF A3IERICA.
Gen. Crook’s . Expedition Heartily In
dorsed by Mexieo,
Albuquerque, N. 31., 3lay 11.—Col.
I nda, Chief of Staff of Gen. Fuero, of the
Chihuahua army, who is in El Paso,
states that the movement of Gen. Crook
across the Mexican border is not only ap
proved by his government, but that Gen.
Fuero has instructions to take the field
in charge of troops stationed in Chi
huahua to co-operate with Gen.
Crook itt a grand Apache round
up. The line of the combined
forces beiug drawn around the savages
it will, he says, be impossible for them to
break through. Col. I nda believes that
this blow struck at this time will end in
the utter annihilation of the raiding Apa
ches. The soldiers of the sister republic
are anxious to be led against the enemy,
and under Gen. Fuero, who has the j
name of being an Indian tighter, they '
hope to do good work. The i
fact of General Crook being in Old 3lexico
is not regarded by the 31exican Govern
ment as in violation of the treaty between
the two countries, his movements having
previously lieen arranged bv the authori
ties of both countries. Upon General
Crook's arrival at Sierra 3ladre the 3fexi
can troops will move in connection with
him. Information which lias just been
received from Haekberrv, Arizona, states
tiiat the lliialapai Indians have been un
dergoing most horrible suffering lately
trom hunger and disease, small-pox hav
ing killed some fifty of their tribe. The
others are fleeing to the mountains in
hope ot escaping from the dread disease.
A\ ashini.ton , 31ay ll. — The commis

that just passed through the town en
route to Fort Gibson and that no dis
turbance had occurred. Secretary
Lincoln has not yet taken action
upon the request of Chief Joseph
to lie permitted to visit AVashington.

disputed possession, lie has applied to
the Secretary of the Interior for permis
sion to visit AVashington and “fix the

his request is denied. Secretary Teller

disposal from which to defray tlie ex

sults will justify it.
A MARSHAL INDICTED.
Alabama Exercised Over a Political
Sensation.
Montgomery, May 11.—Paul Strobach
was appointed 31arshal of the Southern
and Middle districts of Alabama about
the time Congress adjourned, and has held
the o llice ever since. Before his appoint
ment special agents of the Department of
Justice were sent to Alabama to investi
gate the books and accounts of his
predecessor, 31. Osborne. They
have been here off and on since
then extending their investigation,
especially in the irregularities of the
Deputy 3larshals in rendering accounts.
Brewster Cameron, chief of the special
agents, has been here about a week. 3lr.
Strobach was a deputy under Marshal
Turner in January and February, 1880.
To-day the grand jury of the United States
District Court returned five indictments
against 31 r. Strobach, charging him with
fraud in his accounts as a Deputy Marshal.
His accounts were for services' rendered
in arresting parties charged with depre
dating public lands in Covington county.
The counts are live in number and con
tain certain items for millage alleged never
to have been traveled, meals never eaten,
guards never employed and arrests never
made, the whole amounting to $6,318.
3lr. Strobach is under a bond ot $2,000 and
he demands an immediate trial. The case
will probably be tried to-morrow or 31on
day. The indictment causes great ex
citement here where 3lr. Strobach is re
garded as the leading man of his party.
He claims to have good defense and that
the whole thing is a plot among rival fac
tions in his party (Republican) to ruin
him and get him out of office.
GEORGIA’S NEW GOVERNOR.
A Big Sensation in Connection with the
Fen it t*iit iary Physicians lii p.
Atlanta, May 11.—Gov. McDaniel lias
been pushed all day and late to-night by
visitors on official business. Col. Avery
andC. AW Seidell, Secretaries,have resign
ed, to take effect June 1. 11. E. AV. Palmer,
of Waynesboro, will succeed Col. Avery,
for which position he is eminently fitted.
Hon. AV. 11. Harrison, of Stewart county,
succeeds 3lr. Seidell, and in him the Gov
ernor will have an experienced and hard
working official. Both appointments are
heartily approved here, except by 500 dis
appointed applicants. There is a
big sensation promised to-morrow in
connection with the appointment of Dr.
Raines as penitentiary physician. Gpv.
McDaniel declines to say anything about
the matter, but crookedness is hinted at
and irregularity charged as to the manner
of his appointment by Governor Stephens.
Should the rumors prove well founded
there will indeed be a sensation, and not
a very pleasant one.

GEORGIA EDITORS.
The Meeting at Athens—A Visitor’s
Experience*
The telegraph has already given the
readers of tlie Morning News a brief ac
count of the meeting of the Press of Geor
gia at Athens on AVeduesday, but it will
bo not amiss for your correspondent to
say a few words about such
.matters as do not usually appear
in the proceedings of conventions. Tlie
Association has but little legislative busi
ness to transact, it being more of a re
union of friends, working in a common
cause, whose discussions, or rather com
munications, are more interest
ing when two or three are
gathered together than they are
in a public meeting. Assembled in
groups of from two to a dozen, in the
hotels or in the cars, they compare notes
as to what each is doing. In that way
much valuable information is received
and imparted, the respective news
papers are improved thereby, and tlie
communities in which each paper is pub
lished reai> the benefit.
The session just closed was a most
pleasant one, and met to tlie utmost the
anticipations of those who were present.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at 10 o’clock, twenty-seven
papers ’ being represented. As has
already been reported, Mayor O’Farrell
introduced 31r. George I). Thomas, one of
the prominent young lawyers of Athens,
who extended the Georgia' Press Associa
tion a warm welcome to the classic city,
which was replied to by the President,
who took occasion to congratulate the
Athenians on their good fortune in having
such a daily as the liitnnvr- Watchman.
Just here let me say tiiat Mr. T. L.
Gantt, the editor of the Jlanner-Watch
man, was for several years one of the
compositors on the 31ok'mxg News. He
laid by a sufficient number of greenbacks
to go into business for himself, and since
then he has been at the head of several
successful weeklies and now owns and
edits an influential daily. He was one of
the most reliable ainl fastest type
setters that ever “held a set ot eases”
on the Morning News, and he is now
as able with the pen (or pencil) as he was
nimble with the type.
Mayor O'Farrell’s fame as a host was
known to tlie editors, through the teach
ers, especially the ladies, who had the
previous week attended the Teachers
Convention at Athens. He established
iiis reputation with that learned body as a
whole-souled, genial gentleman, and
lie did not lose it among the knights of
pen, pencil and scissors. The Mayor is a
type of these modern Athenians. It would
be* a pleasure to give tlie names of all
who assisted the Mayor in his efforts to
entertain tlie Press, especially those of
the members of the “Peerless” Club, but it
would be almost as long as a registry list.
From the time tlie first editor arrived up
to tlie time the writer left the partv at
Lula, and undoubtedly until the last dele
gate was seen safely aboard the cars on
■Friday the attention of these gentlemen
was unceasing.
On Thursday afternoon the delegates
and their wives, now increased to
forty-seven (tlie delegates not their
wives; I think, however, some of
them did not have wives), were
furnished witli carriages anil driven
through the city. It is quite an
extensive place, covering more space, I
think, than Savannah, an ordinary lot—in
the residence part—being about half the
Forsyth Park. The drive was a pleasant
feature of the occaSTbn.
On Friday morning at 6:30, according to
the programme, the delegates accom
panied hy a large numlier of citizens,
started on a special train on the North
eastern Railroad, provided by the .Super
intendent 31r. H, R. Bernard, for Tallulah
Falls. The Northeastern is one of
the lines controlled by the Richmond and
Danville Railroad, and its objective point
is Knoxville, Tenn. It is to go over or
through the mountains at a point familiar
to everybody, the North Pole of railroads,
Rabun Gap, and in order that this shall
not be lost sight of the junction of this
road is called Rabun Gap junc
tion, The impiession prevails
that it will tie many years
before the railroad is completed to
its destination. AVhen 1 was a printer
boy the flrst job that I “fed oil" on the
press was a pamphlet advertising a rail
road through Rabun Gap. I think
considerable printers’ ink has
lieen used since in advocating
Bs claims as a short-cut to tfie AVest
—but this has not yet built the rail
road. AVbat there is. however, of the
road, that is about ninety miles, is well
built, and runs through a picturesque
country, the track at the Grand Chasm
passing within a few feet of the brink
It was raining when the cars arrived at
Tullulah, but this did not daunt the visi
tors, many of whom clambered down the
steep declivities to view the various
places of interest. At the falls
hotel we found mine host
Dr. AV. I). A'oung, who had entertained
the press in its previous visit eight
years ago, and who extended as warm a
greeting as though we had been a crowd
of summer boarders who had come
to stay a week. The doctor is
making many improvements upon iiis
property. He lias a saw-mill of his
own to saw out lumber: He Is determined
that there shall tie accommodations for all
who visit Tallulah this season.
Though a magnificent banquet was in
waiting for us at the cars, quite a num
ber accepted of Dr. Young’s invitation and
dfued wim him. The mountain And the
falls are not quite as interesting when
rain is pouring down as when old Sol
shines, but gathered in the piazza we
forgot the ram. Geo. I*. AA’oods, of the
HawLipsyille pispafch, better known as
the “gourd editor,” made those who
were gathered around him for
get the unpropitioiiH weather. He gave a
lecture on liee culture, and told us about
a lady in his county who made S3OO a year
in cultivating and shipping Italian queen
bees to Ohio. He is a walking history of
L the resources of his section. There is no
i sarcasm or joke in this queen bee story.
It is worth all the trouble of traveling so
far from home to meet 3lr. Woods.
There were many pleasant incidents
during the day; which, in fact, despite
of the rain it was a most enjoyable occa
sion.
The association was called to order,
while at the Falls, by the President. A
resolution was ottered and adopted ap
pointing a committee on resolutions of
thanks, and the following gentlemen were
appointed: Messrs. E. P. Howell, of the
Atlanta Constitution, Patrick AValsh, of
the Augusta Chroniele, and R. AV. Grubb,
of tiie Darien Timber Gazette, who re
ported the following, which were unani
mously adopted :
Whereas, a committee was appointed
to draft resolutions expressing the thanks
ot the Georgia Press Association for cer
tain courtesies extended to the associa
tion during the present session at Athens,
commencing 3lav 9th, 1883; therefore be it
Resolved, Ist. That the thanks of the
association is due and is hereby extended
to tlie Central, Georgia, Atlanta and
Richmond, and the Northeastern Rail
roads for courtesies extended to members
of this association.
2. That we appreciate the kind atten
tion of the citizens of Athens who have
made our stay in their midstone of the
most pleasant reunions of the press of the
State since the organization of the asso
ciation.
3. Tiiat we return toMr. H. R. Bernard,
Superintendent of the Northeastern Rail
road, our thanks for the interesting and
entertaining excursion to Tallulah Falls
and to tiie citizens of Athens we begtore
turn thanks for the very pleasant banquet
on said occasion.
4. That members of the association
present lie requested to publish the fore
going resolutions.
E. I’. Howell,
P. AValsh,
R. AA’. Grubb.
The President appointed as thecommit
tee on revising the by-laws J. AV. Burke,
W. W. Fleming and J. AV. Anderson.
31 r. Walsh moved that a committee of
five be appointed to request the Legisla
ture to change tlie legal advertising
law. The committee is as follows: Patrick
Walsh, T. L. Gantt, E. P. Howell, AV. T.
< Christopher and A\ r . L. Mathews. President
J. H. Estill was added to the committee.
Mr. AValsh moved that a committee be
appointed Jo arrange for an excursion to
Canada next year. Committee: P. AValsh
and E. I’. Howell. On motion the Presi
dent was added to the committee.
A number of excursionists got off at
Lula, intending to remain over night and
take the morning train to Atlanta, but
fortune fovored them in the
shape of a passing excursion train
returning from Toccoa Falls, and getting
aboard they arrived in the capital city in
time to take the morning train on the
Central. The writer was one of this num
ber, and after a pleasant trip over the old
reliable, found himself home again on
Friday afternoon.
The majority of the Press excursionists,
however, returned to Athens, where they
doubtless spent a pleasant time yesterday
in visiting the entertainment at the Lucy
Cobb Institute. The fifteenth annual
meeting was a very pleasant gathering,
and we trust tiiat of the coming year will
be far more enjoyable. • X.
€LA I MING HALF OF N EAV .1 ERSE V
An English Family Looking Up the
Deatli of an Ancestor.
-A r eic York Special, 9th.
The inhabitants of New Jersey will be
startled to learn that a family in London
claims half the State by right of inheri
tance. Letters on the subject have passed
between the family and Deputy Register
Nagle, of the Bureau of A’ital ’Statistics,
who has been asked to search the
records for important facts to establish
the claim. The latest communication was
received yesterday by Dr. Nagle trom
Lavina Fenn A’aissiere, of No. 78 Dynevor
road, Stoke-Newington, London, England.
After asking about the registry of the
death of a 3lr. Bethell, who made a will
in 1823, when he wds about 45 or 50 years
of age, the writer goes on thus:
“His nephew, John Fenn Bethell—who
is my uncle—was then living with him as
private secretary, and has since died. The
money is put into chancery, and all rela
tives of the Bethells are now wanted to
claim moneys and estates, and if you
could make inquiries you would be p’aid
handsomely for your trouble providing
your efforts enable us to obtain the prop
erty, otherwise we could not remunerate
you, as we are only small tradespeople.
Doubtless the property is immense, as
one-half of New Jersey belonged to my
great uncle, besides other es
tates in America. His name was
either AA’illiam or James. He went
over to New A’ork from Stowe
Market (Suffolk ) a widower with a son
and daughter. The daughter married a
black man named Richardson and they
lived in Orange street. Richardson died
from sunstroke. The son is also dead.
John Fenn Bethell had also a brother
Janies, who went to America from Bury
St. Edmunds, in Suffolk, between forty
and fifty years later, and as we have not
since heard from him, we are very anx
ious to obtain tlie evidence if lie is dead.
AA r e would then be able to begin proceed
ings.”
Dr. Nagle says he has not begun the
search yet, but will look over the records
very soon.
Tlie Fair Family Troubles.
Washington Cor. Baltimore Sun.
The suit brought by the wife of Senator
Fair, of Nevada, for divorce has been an
ticipated for some time past in society
circles here, as tlie incompatibility be
tween the two has long been well known.
Scarcely any of the great silver kings of
the Pacific coast have been happy in their
marital relations since their rise to power
and prosperity, and with one or two ex
ceptions since wealth has come to them
husband and wife have maintained sep
arate establishments. Senator Fair, since
his advent in A\’asbington society two
years since, has outshone any and all
hosts in the luxury and splendor of his
entertainments. It was never his custom
to gather around him a great mob of peo
ple, after the manner of evening recep
tions, but his pleasure was to bring
together at the dinner table small
and select companies, rarely exceed
ing twenty, where the elegance
and the art of the decorations and
all the surroundings the choice viands
and the rare vintage no more than match
ed the beauty, the grace, the wit and the
intellect. But the head of the table was
never occupied by 3lrs, Fair, but by some
maid or matron radiant with beauty or
sparkling with repartee. If 3trs, Fair
was ever in Washington at all it was at
the longest intervals and for the shortest
periods, and she did not come in contact
with tlie fashionable acquaintances of
her husband. It is unfortunately the
case that many, very many of the self*
made men who get into public life at the
Capital are prone to leave their wives he*
hind them, women who have been faithful
and true, who have shared their adversity
without complaint, inspired them in
dark hours with words of cheer and hope,
who have boen helpmeets to them in
every sense of the word, but who, dwell
ing always at the hearthstone, have not
gotten over the homely manner and
speech inherent in them. ’ These women,
plain though they be and unadorned with
artificial graces, hare ottentlmes those
intrinsic qualities which makes up the
model wife, mother and friends, sadly de
ficient in tlie butterflies of whose criti
cisms their husbands arc-so sensitive.
Train Robbers Convicted of Murder.
Little Rock, Ark, 3lav U.—At
Clarksville last night the jury in the case
of the Johnson brothers, the train robliers
who murdered conductor Cain at 3luiber

murder in the first degree. Three of'the
gang had already been convicted and Mc-
Donald, the remaining robber, was con
victed to-day, also of murder in the first

AM ASA STONE FIRES A BULLET
INTO HIS HEART.
The Bath Room in His Palatial Home
j Scene of the Tragedy—Oeipond

verses the Motive—Discovered bv His
Wife.
I Cleveland. 3lay 11. —Amasa Stone
| died by his own hand this evening. ll<>
was the founder of Adelbert College, and
extensively interested in railway and iron
interests throughout the country. Mr.
Stone had suffered six weeks from insom
nia and indigestion. He grew worse
steadily, and became depressed in spirits,
though lie seldom complained. He often
obtained no more than two hours
sleep all night, and gradually became
possessed with the idea that he could
not _ recover. This, with losses of
late in the iron and steel business, and a
multiplicity of financial cares, is believed
to have produced mental derangment. He
did not leave his bed this morning, hav
ing passed a sleepless night. At noon he
complained of feeling exceedingly dis
tressed, and at about 2 o’clock he was left
alone to obtain, if possible, a little
sleep. About 4 o’clock his wife went to
ascertain how he was and found that he
was not in his room. She went to the bath
room, the door of which she found locked.
A servant climbed through tbe transom
and discovered 3lr. Stone already dead. He
w.\ s partly dressed, and it is supposed that
he was bathing and Was seized |with a
sudden impulse and fired a bullet through
his heart. His aim was accurate and
death must have lieen instantaneous. The
report of tiie revolyer was not heard by
anv one, 31r. Stone leaves a wife and two
daughters, one of whom is the wife of
Col. John Hay, recently Assistant Secre
tary of State, and the other of Samuel 31a

PICKARD’S WONDERFUL MILK.
Murphy Takes Him Over the Slow anil
Heavy Fleetwood Track in 3:IB 3-4.
( Tfeir York Sun.
A number of gentlemen who enjoy it
spring morning’s drive and take an inter
est in trotting matters, assembled at the
grounds of the Gentlemen’s Driving Asso
ciation yesterday morning, and were well
repaid for their trouble. Johnny Murphy
has been driving the pick of 3lr. Robert
Bonner’s stable of trotters, Rams, Edwin
Forrest, Pickard, 3lanetta, and others, for
the past few days, giving them their pre
liminary exercise before taking them up
to 31r. Bonner’s farm, near Tarry town.
After Murphy got through working some
of his trotters yesterday, he brought the
bay gelding Pickard on the track.
“Johnny,” said 31r. Bonner, there has
been so much talk over Pickard’s trotting
a mile a few days ago in 2:23, that if you
will drive him in 2:23 now I’ll make you a
present of $lO.
“All right,” said 3lurphy, and jumpeed
into his sulky. He brougjit Pickard up,
trotting well and steadily, and got the
word. Pickard got sajely around the turn
by the cooling sheds, and sped down the
side at a gradually accelerated gait,
reaching the quarter in 33 seconds. He
was now fairly flying. Down the back
stretch he increased liis terrific gait until
he flashed by the bait-mile pole in 1:0594.
He continued his wonderful speed front
the Point ot Rocks up the hill. The last
quarter was before him, and became tear
ing under the wire in 2:1694, and that after
two bad breaks. His feat was cheered
heartily. Mr. Bonner called 3lWpliy.to
one side. “I guess 3fr. Bonner doubled
that tenner,” said 31r. T. J. Coe When
ilurphy came back.
“Why, yes,” said 3lurphy. “He told
me to hold’ out both hands, and then began
to count out money into them until I got
scared, and told him 1 was satisfied, and
tiiat I didn’t want the Ledi/er office. He
said that if 1 was satisfied lie was.”
“I’ve-seen a great deal of trotting,”
said Col. J. .1. Mooney, “hut Pickard’s
speed in the circumstances, at this early
part of the season, when we have only
had five or six days for the horses to work
on the track, and the frost is hardly out
of the ground, takes me hy surprise.”
“I’ll bet $5,000,” said a bystander, “that
Pickard later in the season, with every
thing favorable, can trot in 2:14 or bet
ter.”
3lr. Alfred De Cordova sent his brown
mare over the track to a road wagon a
half ntilc in 1M894. Johnny 3lurpliy
drove the bay gelding 3lajolica, by 31 r.
Bonner’s Startle, a mile in harness in
2:26)4, and 3lr. Louis Benoist’s bay geld
ing J. P. 3lorris a mile in 2:27. Mr. A.
Egbertson brought a green gelding, by
Jackson’s Bashaw, 169-4 hands high, upon
the track and whirled him around to a
road wagon a full mile in 2:30)4.
CONKLIXG’S REAL MEANING.
The True Inwardness of His Speeeti nt
the Saturday Night Club Banquet.
Wanhington Special.
The report of ex-Senator Conkling’s
speech at tlie meeting of the Saturday
Night'Club, in New A’ork last week, has
attracted much attention among the poli
ticians here. It is known that Mr. Conk
ling does not approve of President.Ar
tliur’s administration, and his private
criticisms of the President have been of
the bitterest description. Last Saturday
night’s dinner 31r. Conkling, for the first
time, publicly gave his opinion of the
President’s course, and he did it in such
a way that none but the readers of Puck
could have been aware of his meaning.
Puck last week printed a cartoon of the
President trying to ride at the same time
in the Stalwart and Independent boats. He
seemed to be having much trouble to pre
serve his balance. Mr. Conkling, in speak
ing of General Grant, said: “Something
said hy him to-night will be ever associa
ted with his name, as his name is forever
associated with the destiny of this people.
What was said of him and’by him carried
me back to an occasion of ’which I was
present and on which he was not running
two boats, with one foot in one and one in
the other: but he had both his feet on one
and the same, and in this one all his en
ergy and inclinations were embarked. It
was the occasion on which we met, by fail
means to nominate General Grant for
President.”
It is believed here that Mr. Conkling’s
allusions to the position of the Republi
can party during the past year in tlie
Northern States was an indirect fling at
the President. General Arthur’s friends
so interpret it. They do not, however, ap
pear to be in the slightest degree worried
by what 3lr. Conkling may say or think of
the administration.

AMERICANS IX IRELAND.
Frestdent Arthur’s Instructions to Min
ister Lowell.
A special dispatch from Washington
says: Immediately after the passage of
the act for the prevention of crime in Ire
land which revived the alien act, Minister
Lowell in formed tlie State Department
that questions were likely to arise under
it which would need to' be treated with
extreme delicacy ami discretion, par
ticularly what related to the alien act.
He said: “It will lie rather to the personal
application of the act than to its princi
ple that objection will lie, and 1 should lx
glad to lie armed beforehand with the
opinion of the President as to what 'mv
general line of action should he under
these new circumstances. There must
be a great number of naturalized Ameri
can citizens in Ireland, besides those that
have rendered themselves obnoxious to
the local authorities, and the alien clauses
ol the act may very probably strengthen
the temptation of private enmity to bring
false accusations, and it undoubtedly in
creases the opportunity for him.”
The general views of President Arthur I
on this aet of the British Parliament, j
given in the instructions sent to Minister !
Lowell, show what is thought bv the ad- j
ministration of this extraordino'ry meas- i
lire. The President’s apprehension was
that it might affect a large number of the I
citizens ot the United States. It was an
extraordinary measure in a country
whose traditional history in regard to the i
freedom of the individual and the right of
every man accused of crime to an impar- i
tial trial had formed its crowning i
glory. Tlie revival of the alien act 1
as a part of the crimes act more
directly concerned us, and it was
this feature of the measure which had
caused the President to feel anxiety as to
its possible effeeft an the business and the
social relations of American citizens, par
ticularly those of Irish birth. The possi
bility that persons in pursuit of their law
ful business enterprises, oil those who
visited Ireland to aid their relatives
should come under the operation of the
proceedings contemplated by ifi-ovisions
of the new law was very much to he
deprecated. Tlie opportunities for this
kind of annoyance which the act affords
for the gratification of private en
mity increased the grounds of
this apprehension, and, when this
was added to the superservice
able zeal of local officials, it was hardly
to be expected tiiat an Irish-American
citizen, however innocent he might lie in
act and intention, should consider iiis per
son or his property safe its that country.
The President further said that he could
not contemplate the enforcement of this
measure on mere suspicion against Amer
ican citizens without fears of its having
an unhappy influence upon the good feel
ing which exists between two great na
tions of common origin and common lan
guage.
The conclusion of the instructions of
the President is as tollows: “I need
scarcely add that this government has no
sympathy with the motives or the methods
of the class ot indiscreet individuals, in
significant in number, in this country,
whose ill-directed zeal can neither serve
tlie cause of Ireland nor reflect credit on
the country of their adoption. The law
abiding and peaceable American citizens
of Irish birth should not be exposed to
suffering on their account.”
The instructions to Minister Lowell were
subsequently supplemented bv the decla
ration of the President that 'the power
given to subordinate officials by the pre
vention of crime aet was so great and
the rights subjected to their discretion
were so jmportant that foreign govern
ments might reasonably require that, so
far as their citizens present in Ireland on
legitimate and proper business were con
cerned, the individuals selected to ad
minister that act should be competent,
well informed and unprejudiced, and
should it appear that these officials had,
in the case of such foreign citizens, mis
used the powers intrusted to them thev
should be subjected to such condemna
tory action, and tiie citizens wronged
should receive such amends, as the facts
might warrant.
The Clean Newspaper.
Printer's Circular.
There is a growing feeling in healthy
communities against journals which
make it their special object to minister to
a perverted taste by seeking out and serv
ing up in a seductive form disgusting and
licentious revelations. There is good rea
son to believe that the clean newspaper is
more highly prized to-day than it was
four or live years ago. It is also safe to
predict that, as people in all ranks of
life who protect their own, at least, from
contamination, become more conscious of
the pernicious influence of a certain
class of journals, called enterpris
ing because they are ambitious to serve
up dirty scandals, they will lie careful to
see that the -journals they permit to be
read in the family circle are the class that
never forget the proprieties of life. Al
ready men and women of refinement and
healthy morals have had their attention
called to the pernicious influence of a bad
literature, and have made commendable
efforts to counteract the same by causing
sound literature to be published and sold
at popular prices. These efforts are work
ing a silent but sure revolution. The best
authors tire more generally read to-day
than at any previous date. The sickly sen
timental story paper, and the wild rangel
and pirate story books, are slowly but
surely yielding the field to worthy claim
ants. To the prafse of the decent news
paper, it may be said that where it has it
place in the family, and has been, read
for years by young as well as old, it has
developed such a healthy tone and such a
discriminating taste, that the life-nature
oi tlie slums lias no admirers. Fortunate
ly, the number of such families is increas
ing in the land, and as they increase the
journal that devotes itself to sickening
revelations of immorality, will lie com
pelled to find its supporters sololy among
those classes who practice vice ami
crime, or are ambitious to learn to follow
such ways.

Captain Itelntzcman, and frequently
came to talk with him. Not long after

in Sutlolk street. Captain Hointezman
forgot all about him until a few weeks
ago, when his mail became very heavy
In fact nearly all the letters- that came to
Castle Garden were addressed to him and
it was no uncommon sight to see a stack
of them on his desk. They were all of a
kind, couched in the tame terms and
bearing the signature “Joseph Martin,
Rex.” The writer in some of his epistles
declared himself King cf Italy and de
mands that Captain Ileiutzcnian assess
all italiau subjects coming to this port
for his (the king’s; support. 111 others he
ts the President of the United States and
insists that “his good citizen Heintzem in
collect from each State and Territory 111

back salary due their executive officer
their President,” Again he is the Mayor
of New Yoyi and desires that all the
futius of the Emigration Board lie turned
over to him, lie Is, in his fancy, ruler of
every country and owner of untold wealth.
The genial Captain has grown pte ami

HOW TO FIX IT.
What the Deacon Did, Why h is
Difficult to Apply His Theory
In all 'Things.
When planning to build the famous “oue
lioss shay,” so humorously described by the
“Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,” the Deacon
soliloquized thus:
wea h.est place must stan' the strain;
An the way to flx it.asl maintain, isonly jest
1 o make that place a strong ez the t est.”
Tite result of the Deacon's theory, when re
duced to practice, is historical. That chaise
ran exactly one hundred years to a day, when
on the anniversary of its completion—the
Deacon being out for a ride that morning—it
"Went to pieces at all once
Alt at once, and nothing first;
•Just as bubbles do when they burst.”
Why do not men end their careers, as did
the Deaeon’s one-lioes shav‘r Because there
is always a weakest place. They are not
equally strong in all their parts. Disease at
tacks them; the feeble part gives way; others
follow, and the tinman vehicle is a wreck in
the road. Among Americans the custom is
for the neart. liver and kidneys to yield be
fore the first tush of the destroyer. Two forces
accomplish this—work and worry. We are
bound to heat—determined to bo rich at all
hazards, cr perish in the attempt. A few get
rich; the majority perish in the attempt. You
can scarcely glance over your daily papet-
Without meeting a paragraph mentioning a
sudden death from heart disease, or what ia
supposed to be that, while kidney and diges
tive troubles are as common as yellow leaves
in October.
