THE STRIKERS STILL OUT.
They Show >o Signs or Yielding, bat
Look for Development* To-Day.
At one o’clock this morning the strike
i of the telegraph operators still continued
! with but little chanjte. Business at the
j Western Union office was carried on as
| usual vesterday, and no further develop
i m ent are looked for unt-1 the meeting of
j the Executive Board of the company on
Wednesdav, when it is probable impor
tant action will be taken and a final set
i tlement determined upon. The force iu
the savannah office now consists of five
! operators, including the manager.
! The movement continues to be the topic
of conversation, and many people, espe
cially those in business circles, who have
most' use for the telegraph, are open in
their expression of the hope that the
strikers will succeed in their efforts to
secure better terms.
Manager Dillon was found bard at w ork
last night. In answer to the inquiry ol
the News reporter whether any news
had been received from the company, he
replied: , . ,
-Nothing at all. We don’t look for anv
thinc. The work is going on smoothly,
i and with our present force we are able to
j carry on the business of the office with
very little delay.” .
-in what degree has the strike affected
j the regular business?”
•‘Saturday the receipts of the office
! showed a falling off about twenty i*er
! cent This is ow ing to the fact that many
iof the small offices in the interior
towns are closed and no messages are
I sent. To-day, ol course, was a light day.
We are able to handle our work here
| easily and with slight inconvenience and
I little delay.”
• What salaries are paid to the men
who are secured to fill the places of those
| who went out?”
“They are well provided for. The com
i panv has ordered that all men who are on
the pav roll at the end of the month shall
is* paid extra for all work from last Mon
day, and their regular salary given them
! as bonus.”
“What will a good operator earn at that
! rate?” • ...
“The men who are now working in this
office are making from $lO to sl2 per day.
This, of course, is better than the regular
! pav before the strike. In June, the
lightest month of the year for telegraph
work, the i<oorest paid operator in this
office received s*3, and the highest wages
paid was $123. In the busy months they
arc aide to earn much more. Last mouth
the average pay of the eight operators in
I the Savannah office was over s!*o.”
-We are still gaining in New York.”
said one of them to a News rejiorter,
i --and will tie able to control the field in a
few days at the longest. We are prepared
! for every emergency, anti are ready for a
; bitter tight.”
Do you look for any developments be
fore Wednesday?”
••You will probably hear something to
morrow. We have every reason to be
lieve that a compromise will lie effected
and that the men will be af work in a few
days, possibly before Wednesday.”
Information was received at the West
ern Union office last night that the opera
tors at Brunswick, Waycross and tjuit
man had been reinstated and the <juit
i man operator ordered to Savannah this
morning. The men at these offices claim
they were deceived, and joined the Broth
hood under a misapprehension. They un
; tierstood that in joining the .order they
were not to strike, but were merely to re*
tain their positions and not go elsewhere
in case a strike should occur. After hav
ing been received into membership, they
were ordered to strike with the other
men, and there iieing no alter
native tint to refuse, they struck.
Upon a second consideration they con
cluded to return, and will resume work
to-dav.
Upon inquiry of leading members oi
the Brotherhood, it was stated that Way
cross had determined to remain with the
| strikers and would not return. Further
; developments are expected to-day.
STRUCK BY A TANK.
An Eagle News Company Agent Thrown
from a Train and Fatally Injured.
A fatal accident occurred on the Sa
vannah, F’lorida and Western Railway
yesterday afternoon near Jesup. An
agent of the Eagle News Company
named George Tarver coming north on
the afternoon express, leaving Jesup at
1:55 o'clock, was standing on the platform
of a car leaning out from the steps,
when he was struck by a water tank and
thrown from the train, receiving injuries
which resulted in his death. The train
was running at full sjieed. and the force
of the shock was so great that his body
was turned several times around before
striking the ground. The accident
was witnessed by several passengers
: and the train was brought to a stop and
the injured man taken on board. He was
placed on a bunk of cushions arranged in
the paymaster's car, which was attached
to the train, and brought to Savannah.
Dr. Duncan was immediately sum
moned. i’i*cu examination, his
skull was found to be fractured.
The brain was injured and the
unfortunate man died about four hours
after the accident occurred. Coroner
Sneftall was notified and impanneled a
jury, and will hold an inquest this morn
ing? The remains of the unfortunate
man were removed to his home at the resi
dence of his brother, satuuel 11. Tarver,
corner ot Liberty and Price streets. The
deceased was nineteen years of age. He
was formerly in the employ of the News
company, but for the past year was em
ployed by the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway in this city as flagman.
A few days ago he went back to the News
company and was on his first trip when
he wai: killed.
The Catholic Knights' Default jug Treas
urer.
An interview has been had with Su
preme Treasurer O'Brien, of the Catholic
Knights of America, regarding the defal
cation of J. L. Uechman, his predecessor,
which w ill be of interest in Savannah,
where the order is w ell known and has a
large membership. Mr. O’Brien is a lead
ing wholesale merchant, and one of the
most prominent citizens ot Chattauooga.
He says that the order was cognizant of
the defalcation several days ago. Shortly
at'ter his election in May he attempteil to
make a settlement with Uechman, but
the latter claimed that his books were not
posted. and only turned over to him $75,-
000. He even asked for a portion of that
sum to pay orders which had been re
ceived a few days previous, but his re
quest was denied. The bank at Grafton
w ithheld $2,000 to pay an order which
thev stated they had secured. They
afterward refused to pay this
order, and subsequently paid the money
to Uechman, who claimed that he would
express it to O’Brien. The money never
came, and the order had to be paid out of
the funds in O'Brien’s hand. He says the
amount of the dedication has been great-
Iv exaggerated, that it will not exceed
*jo,o<>o, that the Grafton Bank will be held
responsible for $2,000, and Heckman's
bondsmen for the rest. He says that the
financial condition of the order is very
satisfactory. There stands to the credit
oi tiie association $.’55,000 cash, all out
standing claims have been met promptly,
and there is more titan enough on hand to
meet all maturing obligations. If the en r
tire deficit of Uechman was divided
among members it would be less than 75
cents per head. The order, he states, is
growing rapidly throughout the country.

MELON SHIPMENTS.
What a Steamship Captain Says of the
Late Seizure of the Fruit iu New
Y'ork.
Further inquiry into the circumstances
connected with the late seizure of a por
tion of a cargo of watermelons by the
health authorities at New York shows
that if the melons referred to had been
promptly taken from the wharf by parties
to whom they were consigned a great deal
of the fruit would have probably escaped
injury and consequent liability to con
demnation. As it was some of ths
fruit wasdamagedin transit to New York
and in the handling, but the amount was
very small. The delay in moving the
fruit trom the wharf, and after it had
passed out of the hands of the steamship
company, exposed the melons to a risk for
which only those to whom the goods were
consignetl’ were respi msible.
Captain Fisher, ol the steamship Talla
hassee, in response to an interrogatory,
said that few cargoes ol melons wholly
escape injury in transit, and that often
as many as a thousand are broken or
otherwise damaged before the shipment
reaches the New York wharf. Especially
is this the case if the weather proves to
lie stormy during the run up the coast.
Sometimes as many more are broken
after the fruit has been delivered on
the wharf at New York, He also said
that one reason why the consignees neg
lect to move the fruit is that they wish to
avoid the cost of stowing it elsewhere,
and that he was pleased to see the health
authorities at New York take action in a
matter which should have been attended
to in former seasons.
“Country Life in Georgia Fifty Years
Ago.”
On Thursday evening Colonel Richard
M. Johnston, of Baltimore, will lecture
on the above subject at the Catholic
Library Hall. The Atlanta Constitution,
commenting on this lecture, delivered in
Atlanta on Thursday last, says:
“The lecture ot Col. Richard Malcolm
Johnston on ‘Country Life in Georgia
Fifty Years Ago,’ was delivered last
night in the Senate Chamber to an elegant
audience, which gave hearty testimony of
its appreciation.
“Colonel Johnston said he loved the
memory of the old days in Georgia, and
, his acquaintance with their peculiari
i t ies had been made in the old field schools,
I in practice of the law in several counties.
| Titus he had learned to know and love a
manhood remarkable not alone for its
drollery, but also for its brave and gener
i ous qualities. Though the country peo-.
! pie of Georgia fifty years ago were not
I learned in books, they had that which is
; lietter than books—courage, honor and
kindness.
“The lecture was concluded with the
reading of one of Colonel Johnston's fa
mous sketches, -Little Tom Watts,' which
elicited many a hearty laugh. The lec
ture was warmly applauded at the eon
elusion of his effort and frequently during
its progress. He drew a vivid and pleas
ing picture of the time so keenly remem
bered by many and yet so fast drifting
into story and legend. To preserve its
romance and to honor its many virtues
Colonel Johnston has done a work that
has reflected honor upon him while it has
given pleasure to so many thousands of
readers.”
The Prospects of the Leading Staple.
As there is speculation in some quar
ters relative to the condition and pros
pects of the growing crops, a representa
tive of the Morning News called Satur
day on some of the leading merchants to
ascertain their opinion upon the
subject. They agreed in saying
that the promise of a good
yield of cotton is not as bright as it was
a couple of weeks ago, inasmuch as rain
is needed in many portions of the State
where the plant is being injured by the
drought. The following abstracts from
letters bearing on the matter, received by
the Savannah cotton factors, will lie read
with interest:
Mdnticklli), July 17.—Cotton
crop very fair, and from eight to ten days
in advance of last year, both in size and
fruitage.
Eatoxtox, Ga., July 19.—Crops of
corn and cotton are looking well, but lie
ginning to need rain.
Fort Gaines, Ga., July 18.—Crops
look well, but need rain now.
Camilla. July 19. —Crops are suffering
for rain. From present indications cot
ton will make three-quarters of last year’s
yield.
Millkdgeville, July 19.—Cotton crop
prospects were good up to a week ago, but
rain is at present needed, and if it does
not come soon the yield will lie cut short.
Thomasville, Ga., July 19.—Prospects
good as last year, but rain needed now.
Midville, Ga., July 18.—we are need
ing rain very much, and cotton is liegin
ning to suffer in consequence.
Second Kcgatta of the Isle of Hope Yaelit
Cluj* on Thursday.
The second regatta of the Isle ot Hope
Yacht Club will take place at Montgomery
on Thursday, and from the present indi
cations promises to be an interesting
affair. Two prizes have been offered—
one of SSO and one of s2s—in the first
class, and one of $25 in the second class.
The course will be from the flag at Mont
gomery to Pettegall, two miles, and re
turn and turn buoy in front of Mont
gomery, then to Green Island, four miles,
and return, making a twelve mile race.
The crafts may be seen over the entire
course from the'shores and the bluff's. There
will be at least ten entries, seven of which
have already been made. The start will
he made at four o’clock in the afternoon,
giving an opportunity tor all to witness
the race without interference with busi
ness. A special schedule of trains will
be run over the City and Suburban Rail
way to accommodate those who will at
tend.
Alter the race there will be music and
dancing in the pavilion and the freedom
of the grounds will be extended to all.
The arrangements for the affair are com
plete and a delightful day is anticipated.
The Star*.
July is a field day among our celestial
neighbors. The most favorable months
for studying the movements of the shining
brotherliooil that, the earth included,
makes up the sun's family, is as rich in
incident as any month in the year. Ex
cepting far away Neptune and Uranus
every planet in the system is visible dur
ing some jiortion of the mouth, and every
planet plays a part on its brilliant record.
Visitors at the seashore, among the moun
tains. and in quiet country homes will
find no more fascinating occupation than
that of tracing the varied planets of these
bright wanderers in the celestial depths,
as they rise and set. come close together
and travel far apart over the celestial
highway. Neither, as their eyes are
turned upward to the glorious page which
nature opens to their admiring gaze, can
they fail to gain new views of the wond
rous Architect who spangles the sky with
shining points, and holds in heavenly har
mony each grain of sparkling star-dust,
each mass of nebulous haze, and each
sun of the rnvriad host of suns that,bound
together by immutable laws, make up the
material uplverae.
Light* on the River.
The Lighthouse Board have decided to
place lights at the “Upi>er Flats,” where
the four wing dams have just been built.
The lights will be red, One will be placed
on the upper north dam and the other on
the lower south dam. This will be a great
advantage to vessels going up and down the
river at night, as there are no range lights
for passing between the dams, and already
several vessels have come near being
seriously damaged by running on them.
HORSFtmD S ACID PHP44SHATE,
Very Satisfactory in Prostration.
Dr. P. P. Gilmartin, Detroit, Michigan,
says: “1 have found it very satisfactory
in its effects, notably in the prostration
attendant upon alcoholism. 1 ’
River Improvements.
The four wing dams at the “Upper
Flats” were completed Saturday. The
effect of these works upon the channel is
already perceptible, and it is the opinion
of the engineers that there will be within
a short time a depth of twenty-two feet
oi water at this point, an increase of six
feet. The construction of the wing dams
at the “Cabbage Trees” or “Lower Flats,”
has been commenced, and it is expected
the work will be finished in two months.
With the finishing of these datps all the
appropriation for improving this harbor
will be exhausted. The engineers are
satisfied that the jetties will accomplish
all that has been claimed for them, but
the improvement will be gradual, and to
secure the full benefits, the system must
lie carried out to its completion. As we
have heretofore stated, and as is generally
known to those who have read General
Gillmore’sreports upon the improvements
of Savannah river and harbor, the plan
embraces a system of jetties and wing
dams front the city to Tybee, by which the
I depth of the water will tie
: increased to twenty-two feet. This
1 will give twenty-seven feet over
the bar. and ait inside anchorage
where hundreds of ships can anchor
with plenty of water. Savannah
will have no rival on the South Atlantic.
We understand from the officer in charge,
Lieut. Thos. N. Bailey, Corps of Engineers,
U. S. A., that there is a great interest
manifested in commercial circles in North
ern cities about the improvement of this
port, and many inquiries have been made
as to the progress of the work.

TO THE PUBLIC.
In November, 1879, I was astounded
by au order of Postmaster General D.
M. Key, charging me with “being engaged
in fraudulent schemes and devices,” ete.
Conscious that such charges had no foun
dation, I made application for the evi
dence upon which he acted, and demanded
an investigation. I also brought suit
against him, alleging the false and inju
rious nature of the statements made. I
challenged his authority to make the or
der that registered letters should not be
delivered to me, ana that money orders
remitted should not be paid. I wished to
test the validity of this order,
and I was advised that he was
liable for damages if his statements were
false, which I was prepared to prove.
Whilst this suit was pending, an investiga
tion. was made by Postmaster General
Key, which resulted in his issuing anew
order in place of the first, in which he
stated iu substance, that the evidence
upon which the first order was issued was
inaccurate and incorrect, “not being sat
isfied that I was engaged in any fraudu
lent schemes.’” Upon the promulgation
of this new order (Feb., 1880), interference
with my Registered mail and Money Or
ders ceased.
Anew administration came in, and
with it anew Postmaster General, who,
in the routine came to my case, which he
referred to Attorney General MacVeagh,
who examined the statutes and the pow
ers of the Postmaster General thereunder,
and decided in substance that, notwith
standing my suit and the second order ot
Postmaster General Key, the power was
always in the hands of the Postmaster
General, and that whenever there was
evidence of fraud he could issue his order
denying to me the use of the Registry De
partment. Thereupon the Postmaster
General made a thorough investigation of
my business, and decided that there was
no’ fraud therein, and that interference
with my affairs was not authorized.
Upon’ these conclusions the question
came up, naturally, with regard to the
dismissal of the pending • suit agaiust
Postmaster General Key, which had been
appealed to the supreme Court of the
United States; he assured my representa
tive that there would lie no further inter
ference with my business unless fraud
was discovered; in consequence of this
assurance, 1 consented to dismiss the ap
peal. It was dismissed under this agree
ment, in good faith on my part, relying,
as 1 implicitly did, upon the assurance of
the Post Office Department.
Some time alter this dismissal was en
tered of record, my affairs were called to
the attention of Postmaster General
Howe, the third Postmaster General who,
within two Years, made inquiry into my
business. This officer, in an official letter
(a copy of which accompanies this) to
the Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, stated the substance of the agree
ment which induced me to consent to the
dismissal of my case; he affirmed this
agreement, and conceded that, even if no
other question was involved, the Post
Office Department ought not now to avail
itself of the dismissal to revive the ob
jectionable order, He thus recognized
that the fulfillment of the agreement was
obligatory upon the Depaatment.
Notwithstanding the agreement, its re
cognition and affirmation, the Depart
ment of Justice, through Ass’t Att’y
Gen’l Freeman, non- comes forward, and,
without charging fraud (that being im
possible to lie done truthfully), demands
that the obsolete order shall be enforced,
ft'hen the attention of Ass'WAtt’y Gen’l
Freeman is called to the gross breach of
faith in this demand, in thus availing him
self of a technicality to revive the obso
lete order, which (though appearing ol
record), was in fact abrogated by a fair
agreement, ho replies that he himself is
not responsible to the Department of Jus
tice, and, refusing to recognize said
agreement, he insists upon the revival of
the order.
Thus it results that I gir* deprived of
the opportunity of having a trial of a case,
which I ivas advised would fully vindb
cate my rights, and now the P. O.’DeparL
ment takes alj the advantages which
would have accrued to it had the case
been tried and deckled against me.
Pending L.e full establishment of ray
rights in the courts of law, I appeal to ail
those who respect fair play to carefully
consider my statement above, and no less
so the exceedingly interesting and con
clusive letter from ex-l’ostmaster General
Howe, herewith appended.
M. A. Dauphin,
Pres't Louisiana State Lottery Cos.
New Orleans, July W.h, 1883.
Post Office Department, )
Office of the Postmaster General,}-
WASHINGTON, 1).C., April 3, 1882. i
Hon. J. IF. Keijer, Speaker of the House
of Representatives,
Silt —1 have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of the resolution adopted
March 29, 1882, directing me to inform
the House of Representatives “whether
an order was issued by the Post Office
Department forbidding the payment of
any postal money order, or the delivery of
any registered letters, to M. A. Dauphin,
or any other agent of the Louisiana Lot
tery Company, and directing the return
of the same to the post office where first
obtained or deposited; if said order was
issued, has there been any enforce
ment thereof, and if so, "for what
period of time was it enforced, and what
was the character of the enforcement? If
such an order was issued, has there been
any subsequent order issued by the Post
Office Department suspending" the first
named order; and if so, when was it is
sued, and for what purpose? is it opera
tive now as the rule of the department,
and what are the limitations affecting it?”
In answer to such resolution I enclose
herewith a copy of an order bv Hon. I>.
M. Key, November 13, |B7<j. as Postmaster
General, forbidding the delivery of regis
tered letters and the payment of money
orders to M. A. Dauphin, M. A. Dauphin,
Secretary, or M. A. Dauphin, post office
box 692. New Orleans, La.
I also enclose a copy of another order
issued February 27,1880, suspending this
order for the reason stated therein, that
M. A. Dauphin, having brought suit
against the Postmaster General to enjoin
the performance f the order of November
13, 1870, and having appealed the same to
the Supreme Court of the United States,
and having, on the day of issuing the or
der of suspension, presented to the Post
master General 1 the certificate ot
the Governor and State officers
of the State of Louisiana, that
he lias complied with tho legal re
quirements of that State, and also other
evidence, and the Postmaster General
not being satisfied from the evidence sub
mitted to him, that the said M. A. Dauphin
is engaged in conducting a scheme oi de
vice for obtaining money through the
mails by means of false and fraudulent
pretenses, representations and promises,
the order of November 13, 1879, is de
clared to be suspended, so lar as relates
to the said Dauphin, until the case shall
have been heard and determined by the Su
preme Court of the United States,
I am advised that the original order of
November 13, 1879, was enforced accord
ing to its terms and intent, until the order
of suspension was issued, since which
time it has not been enforced.
The appeal, as I am to-day advised, has
been dismissed under the 2tsth rule of the
Supreme Court, by agreement of the at
torney for the appellant and the Attorney
General of the United States. The dis
missal occurred during the incumbency
of my immediate official predecessor, and
iio action was taken thereon, nor am (
advised that he was informed of the agree
ment to dismiss.
The case lias not pbeen heard and de
termined by tho Supreme Court of the
United States,” and as the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States has consented to
a disposition of the appeal that prevented
such hearing and determination, lam not
prepared to say. even if there were no
other question involved, that I may now
avail myself of the fact of the disposition
made of the appeal to put the order again
in force.
But there is an objection weich is con
clusive agaiust the adoption of such a
course.
The law only authorizes such an order
to lie in force when the Postmaster Gen
eral acts “upon evidence satisfactory to
him that any person is engaged in con
ducting any fraudulent lottery, gift en
terprise, or’seheme for the distribution of
money, or of any real or personal property
by lot, chance or drawing of any kind, or
in conducting any other scheme or de
vice for obtaining money through the
mails by means of false or fraudulent
pretenses, representations or promises.”
Now, the order of suspension states as
a reason for its issuance the fact of: The
Postmaster General “not being satisfied,
from the evidence submitted to him, that
said M. A. Dauphin is engaged in con
ducting a scheme or device for
money through the mails Ly means of
false and fraudulent pretenses, represen
tations and promises,” the ground stated
for issuing the order originally.
This statement not only in fact sus-.
pended the order, but admitted thtft tno
Postmaster General had no longer power
to keep such an oyder In force.
Under this state of facts I have not taken
any action in the premises. No proof has
been submitted to the Department since, tne
order of sus]>ension, tending to establish
the fact that M. A. Dauphin is engaged in
conducting any scheme that would bring
him within the contemplation of the Sta
tute.
My answer to the resolution of the
House of Representatives has been as
complete as the record of the department
authorize, and I believe is a full response
to the inquiries. Although not a matter
of record, it is understood that the dis
missal of the appeal of Mr. Dat\phiu,
while entered of record as by agreement,
would have been rendered necessary by
the unexpected retirement of Postmaster
General Key, which, under the settled
rule of the Supreme Court, prevented the
prosecution of appeal that Involved logic
ally the possible exercise of a mandatory
power upon one no longer in office.
Very respectfully',
(Signed,) T. O. Howe,
Postmaster General.
