SHOT I>KAI> BY HIS AVI I K.
A Terrible Calamity Befalls a Wealthy
Baltimore Family.
A Baltimore siK'cial of August 7th to
the New York Timea, says that a terrible
domestic tragedy occurred about txvo
miles from Reisterstown, Baltimore coun
ty, early this morning. Mr. Lewis Law
rence Conrad, a well-known Baltimore
lawyer, xvas shot and instantly killed by
his wife, .Minnie Worthington Conrad, at
Montmorency, tin* estate of Mrs. Mary (i.
Worthington. Mrs. Worthington, who
is the mother of Mrs. Conrad, xvas
awakened about 1 o’clock by her daughter,
who ran into her room crying, “Mother.
I have killed my husband! Oh!
tn> God, I hax’e killed hitn!” Mrs. Worth
ington sprang to her feet, and, rushing to
her daughter, discovered that she had in
her hand a small revolver. Mrs. Worth
ington’s shrieks brought her son. John
Tolly Worthington, to the scene, and tie
getiier they proceeded to Mr. Conrad’s
room. They found that gentleman lying
upon the bed, his head in a pool of blood,
and a large wound iu the left side of his
head, from which the blood xvas slowly
oozing. A messenger was dispatched for
I)r. J. X. Dickson, at Iteisterstown, who
arrived at the house soon after. The doc
tor saw that life xvas extinct, and upon
examination found that death had lieen
instantaneous. The hall had entered the
left side of the head, about an inch and a
half above the ear and had jienetrated to
the centre of the brain. The news ot the
terrible occurrence spread rapidly, and
by daylight a number of friends and ac
quaintances had called to ascertain the
truth of the rejiort and condole with the
family. Airs. Conrad had iu the meantime
been removed to another room in a violent
state of hysterics. She was jierfectly
rational, however, and gaxe a lucid anil
clear statement, as far as her excited con
dition would permit, going to show that
the shooting may have lieen accidental.
The lady has been suffering since last
January xvith acute neuralgia of the
stomach and bowels, which at stated pe
riods seemed almost to derange her mind.
She stated to the doctors that last night
her suffering was so great that she
had resolved upon suicide as the only
method of relief, and to that end had taken
to bed w itli her a small revolver, and se
creted the weapon beneath her pillow.
Between 12 and 1 o’clock, she said, her
sufferings liecame unbearable, and she
seized the pistol, resolved to end her life.
In turning it around, however, the weapon
exploded and killed her husband. She
does not rememlier whether her husband
awoke or not. but from the iositiori of the
hoily it is thought that Mr. Conrad was
awakened by his wife’s movement and
raised tip and encouraged her to re
main quiet. The admonition coining sud
denly upon her, it is thought, startled the
lady, and, in her excited and nerx'ous con
dition, the weapon exploded.
A Coroner’s jury returned a verdict
that the death was from accident. This
verdict, however, is not in accord with
the views of many people in the neighbor
hood, who believe that Mrs. Conrad, in a
moment of temporary insanity, pointed
the pistol at her husband’s head and tired.
There is a streak of insanity running
through branches of the family, John Tol
ly, John’s cousin, having committed sui
cide two years ago. and Xed Hanson, an
other cousin, having murdered Mr.
Charles White in a fit of in
sanity a fexv months ago. Mrs.
Conrad xvas once a handsome woman,
hut is now emaciated by continued sick
ness. Air. Conrad was liorn July J, l.S.’{9,in
the Mate of Mississippi. He entered the
Confederate army at the breaking out of
the war, and was for some time Captain
on General Buckner’s staff. His father
was Charles 31. Conrad, at one time Sec
retary of War under President Fillmore.
Mr. Conrad’s grandfather was a nephew
of General Washington, and his grand
mother was Nelly Custis. daughter of
Mrs. Washington. Mr. Conrad owned
large estates in New Orleans and was
very wealthy. He married Miss Wor
thington about IB years ago, the issue of
w hich union has Weti one child, a boy
alKuit 11 years of age. Their domestic
life has always been a happy one. The
Worthington family is one of the most
prominent in the county, and the news
of the tragedy has shocked every one who
has heard it. •
Coal Miner* Out in British Columbia.
San Francisco, August 9.—Private
advices received last evening trom Victo
ria. B. C., announce a strike of 300 coal
miners in the Wellington colliery at De
parture Bay. It will necessitate the
closing of the mine and the throwing of
900 men out of employment. The strikers
demand a large increase of pay, xvhieh
has been refused. The average monthly
shipments of coal from that mine to Vic
toria amount to 14,000 tons. Ships are
unable to obtain cargoes and have to go
to Seattle to get coal.

RANKIN’S FLAX IX FAVOR.
THK HOI'SK SENDS THE .ATLAN
TIC Sl'IT TO THE SENATE.
An Kailj Adjournment Browned Under
a I eluge „f New Measures-Mr. Tutt’s
I on I arui Labor Contractu Passed
t ic Senate W itliout Amendment
>otes About the City.
Atlanta, g a., August o,—ln the House
oi ay, Mr. Jordan, of Hancock, offered a
resolution that, w hereas the House had
H*en in session over a month, had com
pleted hut a few bills, and the Senate had
been \x aiting nearly ten days for House
business to occupy their attention, the
special order for to-day be dismissed and
the House devote to-day and to-morrow to
the reading of bills the third time.
Mr. Maddox, of Chattooga, opposed, as
the postponement of the debate on the
state Road lease resolution would result
m greatly prolonging the contest when
received. He thought the matter could
bv concluded in an hour this morning.
Mr. Jordan replied that he doubted it,
as a dozen members xx'ere anxious to
speak on the subject.
Mr. Maddox retorted that there xvas no
reason w hy they should not lie allowed to
speak.
The resolution was lost by 2D yeas to 74
nays, although there was great need for
its passage to show how much more
anxious the members are to create new
business than of completing any of the
sou bills now before the House.
A motion by Mr. Iloge, ot Fulton, to
hold a session this afternoon for the in
troduction nf new business, xvas adopted
w ith scarcely a dissenting vote. Coder
this state ot feeling an early adjourn
ment is not probable.
Ihe unfinished business was resumed,
ami Mr. Redding, of Pike, concluded bis
argument against the release resolution,
lie contended that the lessees had s.*>oo,ooo
worth of movable property of the State on
the road, and it was but reasonable to ask
them to give a bond to cover this amount.
Mr. Bartlett, of Bibb, sustained with
great vehemence, the argument of .Mr.
Redding, and paid his respects to Gov.
Brown as the censor of Georgia.
Air. Dart, of Glynn, made a few remarks
in favor of the resolution to dismiss the
suit.
Mr. Hoge, of Fulton, then entered upon
a lengthy and elaborate discussion of the
legal questions involved, arguing xvith
great clearness in favor of the resolution
to dismiss the case.
Mr. .Maddox, of Chattooga, said that he
was not opposed to the dismissal of the
case, but wanted the lessees to give a
bond tor security at the termination of
the lease to cover the vexed question of
betterments. The lease was obtained by
fraud and may be ended in the same wm
unless this question of betterments is
settled noxv and here.
Mr. Little, of Muscogee, said that he
had heard of the State Road, the State
Road lease, the State Road investigations,
and the State Road lessees from his child
hood, and lie was tired of it. As to the
matter under discussion, the Judiciary
Committee is not divided as to the pro
priety of dismissing the suit, but only
as to the question of an additional
bond to cover the matter of betterments.
He would like to hax’ethe lessees disclaim
any offset for betterments, but suppose
they refuse to do sis liow can we compel
them!’ The lease act does not bind them
to any such course. He would favor a
clause in tiie resolution on the part of the
State that in dismissing the suit she does
acknowledge the right of the lessees to
put in a claim tor tietterments at the ter
mination of the lease.
Sir. Pendleton, of Lowndes, called the
previous question and the call was sus
tained.
Mr. Reese, of Wilkes, Chairman ot the
Judiciary Committee, was allow ed twenty
minutes, and advocated the majority re
]mrt requiring anew bond and the'pay
ment of the costs of the suit before dis
missing the suit.
The roll was called on the substitute of
Mr. Maddox to dismiss the suit it the
lessees agree not to claim betterments at
the end of the lease. The vote resulted iu
7.1 yeas to I*o nays. The absentees num
bered 26.
Then a vote was taken on the majority
report to dismiss the suit when the les
sees give a bond of s.>no.tHio anil pay the
costs of the suit. The result xvas 47 "yeas
and !*9 nays.
After considerable skirmishing on the
part of the opponents of the measure, the
resolution, as amended by Mr. Rankin, of
Gordon, xvas passed anil immediately
transmitted to the Senate.
.Mr. Rice, of Fulton, endeavored to have
the new capitol bill made the special or
der for next Tuesday, but failed to get in
bis motion, and the bill will come up iu
the morning. He proposes to amend it to
meet the views of some of its opponents.

ARTHUR AMONG THE INDIANS.
Fitly Chief* Call on Him ami Present
Him a Pony for His Daughter.
Fou r Washakie, Wy.T., August th
in accordance with the expressed wish
of the Shoshones and of the Arapahoe
Chiefs, their people were utlbrded an op
portunity of calling upon President Ar
thur. at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Shortly
before that hour they gathered on the
plains to the number of about fifty war
riors mounted upon their handsome
ponies. They dashed forward in line for
about l.rtno yards to a point near which
the President stood awaiting them. The
colutun then halted, and the several
chiefs dismounted and approached him.
Among them were Washakie, a re
markable Chief of the Shoshones,
from whom this post takes
its name and Black Coal, Chief of the
Arapahoe trilie, which within a few years
has been permitted to share the occupan
cy of this reservation. President Arthur
then thanked his visitors for calling on
hint aud congratulated them on their fine
appearance. He assured them of bis in
terest in their welfare and of his satisfac
tion upon hearing of their exemplary
conduct and tlieir growing attention to
the practice of industrial pursuits. His
address,w hicli was admirably suited to the
occasion, w as interpreted to the bhoshones
by an English-speaking member of their
tribe, who itears the name oi Norcutt, and
to the Arapahoes by one of tbeir num
ber, who was educated at the Carlisle
school. The chiefs replied, and their re
marks were similarly interpreted. Chief
Sharp Nose then presented the President
with a handsome pony for his daughter.
Moccasins and leggins were presented to
members of the party, and then followed
a war dance, in which twenty young
Shoshone braves took part.

More Detail* of the Work Hi the River*
and Harbors.
Washington, August 9.—The rivers
and harbors’ report, after describing the
work done in the fiscal year ended June
30, says: “The experimental cut of 22
feet depth, recommended to be dredged by
the Board of Engineers in their report
for 1880, xvas dredged in September, 1882,
in the bepd below the lights of the Dog
river liar, Alabama, commencing
at cluster No. % at the north
end ot the bend, and extend
ing south 300 leet, with a width of 100
feet. This cut was sounded in October,
1882, and June, 1883, and a com
parison of these soundings show r
a less depth on the sides and ends
ot the cut with about the same average
depth along the centre, evidently owing
to irregularities of the bottom being in
process of removal and the banks having
assumed a natural slope, hut showed no
filling due to other causes. It is believed
from the results of this experiment that a
channel of this depth through the side of
cluster No. 31, just south of Caw’ley river,
would remain open and he comparatively
permanent with a width oi 40 feet.
xV ith respect to the result of the work
already done, the engineer reports that
while before 1881 all vessels of greater draft
than 13 feet were compelled to anchor in
the lower part of the bay 28miles from
Mobile, and to have their cargoes in and
out lightered over the bar, since the chan
, opened even to a width of
only i o teet, all vessels drawing from 16
to is feet have proceeded to the
wharves loaded with full cargoes,
and passed through the channel without
delay. He fflso reports a careful sound
ing of the outer bar during the past
spring, and that at a mean loxv tide of 17
feet there was found to he 23 feetof water,
which he says shows that the gradual in
crease of depth referred to in his report
tor insl. wtill continues. It is proposed
during the present year to expend avail-
able funds in completing cut
No. 3, now being dredged, and
tints give a channel with an
average width of ilo feet, which it is
thought can be accomplished by June,
1881. Ihe original estimate of the cost of
tins work xvas $820,000, of xvhieh there
has been appropriated to date $450,000.
It is now estimated that $420,000 will be
required to complete the work, anil that
sum can he profitably expended during
V H i le?L1 e ?L, year ’ The amount available
July I, 1883, xvas $89,737.
In tiie harbor at Pensacola,Florida, tiie
funds now available will lie applied dur
ing the present year to continuing the
work on the jetty ami shore protection,
•iii'i tic* work ol dredging the luttor with
a view to obtaining an increased width
and depth of channel across the bar. The
act of 1882 appropriated $5,000 for this
work, and there remained unex
pended July 1, 1883, of this and
other appropriations $66,305. It is esti
mated that $55,000 will he required for the
completion of the work and that that sum
can be profitably expended during the
next year. Of the future of the work the
engineer says: “It will require watching
and doubtless frequent appropriations to
meet unforeseen contingencies.”
In the harbor at Ivey West, Florida, no
progress is reported during the past year.
It is estimated that $115,000 xvill be re
quired to complete the work, and can he
profitably expended during the next year.
In the ( hattahoochee river ot* (Georgia
and Alabama, the plan of improvement
contemplates a channel of 4 feet depth
and 100 feet width. During the past year
snags and overhanging trees were re
moved. Some blasting xvas done and 2,06
linear feet of jetty was built. It is pro
liosed during the present year to clear the
entire length of the river of the sna.’s,
etc., under the channel at Little lichee and
sleek Blurt, repair the works wherever
needed and complete the improvement
between Columbus and Bull creek. This
improvement will not be permanent aud
it is estimated that an annual appropria
tion of SIO,OOO will be required to keep the
river iu its improved condition. The
funds available July 1, 1883, were $20,417.
It is estimated that $150,000 will he re
y!!iw‘iLto c ? m l’ ,ete the work, and that
SIOO,IXIO call be profitably expended during
the next year.
In tiie F lint river, in Georgia, the pro
ject is to open a channel 100 feet wide and
3 .eet deep at low-xvater. Asa result of
the work already done, steamers drawing
3 leet id water can pass at low water
front the innuth of Swift creek to within
V- mi,eß , of Montezuma, an estimated
instance of miles. During the pres
ent year the work w ill Do pushed forward
w-dli the available funds in the direction
ot Albany. The original estimate of tiie
cost xvas $175,000. The amount available
July.!* 1883, was $11,272. and the amount
required for the completion ot the work
was $127,830.
For the Apalachicola river, Florida
there xvas on hand July I, 1883, $323. It
is estimated that an additional appropria
tion (>! $2,000 Will complete the work, and
can lie expended during the next year.
h or Apalachicola Bay the amount avail
aide July 1, lss.!, was s7.s, and it is esti
mated that s•>.>,ooo additional will com
plete the work, and can he profitably ex
pended during the next year.
The engineer says that as a result of
the w ork done in Tampa Bay, Florida
there is now a fair though somewhat nar
row channel, 9 feet in depth through to
the wharves at Tampa, except at two
places just above Spanish Town Point
where there is but 7b, feet. The act of
<BB-2 appropriated s2o,txx) for this work.
It is estimated that $57,002 will be re
quired to complete it. and can be profitably
expended during the next year. It is
not known whether the improvements can
Ik* made permanent.
For the Suwanee river, Fla., the amount
available July 1, 1883, was $4,790. It, is
estimated that $42,158 will be required to
complete the work, aud can beexjiended
during the next year. The work will not
bo-permanent, and a small annual appro
priation will lie required to keep it in
good condition
For the Choctawhatchee river in Ala
bama and Florida, the act of 1882 appro
priated S2O.iK)O, of which $9,160 were un
expended July 1, 1883. It is estimated
that an additional appropriation of $66,5<K)
xvill he required to complete the work,
and that $50,000 can be expended during
the next year. The engineer rejtorts that
tiie river is not susceptible of permanent
improvement, and that an annual appro
priation of $5,000 will be required to keep
the improvement in good condition.
For the Cali alia river, in Alabama, tiie
original estimate of the cost of the im
provement xvas $195,000. The act of 1882
appropriated s2o,ix)o, and it is estimated
that $175,000 will complete the work, of
xvhieh sum SIOO,OOO can tie profitably ex
pended in the next year. An annual ap
propriation thereafter of $5,000 will be
required to keep the improvement in good
condition.
In the Tallapoosa river in Alabama no
work was done during the past year on
account of the high water. It is said that
$25,125 will be required to complete the
work, and that $25,000 can be profitably
expended during tne next year. An an
nual appropriation thereafter of SS,O<X)
xvill lie required to keep the improvements
in good condition.
For the Alabama river in Alabama, the
project is to obtain a channel with a depth
ol 4 feet at low water, with a minimum
w idth of 200 feet from the mouth of the
river 50 miles above Mobile to the city of
Wetumpka, Ala., at an estimated cost of
$229,712. There has already been appro
priated for the work $129,000, of xvhieh
$20,000 was appropriated by the act of
1882. The amount available July 1, 1883,
xvas $10,607. It is estimated that $100,741
xvill complete the work, and that $50,000
can tie expended during the next year.
For the Black Warrior river in Ala
bama an appropriation of $48,000 is asked
for the next fiscal year, and it is reported
that an annual appropriation of SIO,OOO
xvill be required to maintain the improve-
ment.
For the Tomliigliee river, below Colum
bus, an appropriation of SIOO,OOO is asked,
to be applied during the next year in
completing a 3-foot channel, not less than
35 feet wide between Columbus and Vi
enna, and in improving 15 bars of the
least depth between Vienna and Demop
oHs and 8 bars below Demopolis. The
appropriations to date for the two rivers
are $190,000, and the unexpended balance
July 1, 1883, xvas $9,817. It is estimated
that $148,000 xvill complete the improve
ments in both of the rivers, anil that that
sum can be profitably expended during
the next year. An annual appropriation
of SIO,OOO will be required to maintain
the improvements.
For the Manatee river, in Florida, the
original estimate of the cost was $70,000.
The act of 1882 appropriated $12,000.
There was available July 1, 1883. $8,785.
The amount required for the completion
of the work is $58,000, which can be
profitably expended duriug the next year.

and the contents attractively displayed.
Each day train loads of goods and ma
chinery arrive and are consigned to their
allotted spaces xvith all possible dispatch,
but every night car loads must still be
left undisturbed on the track. Now that
it is all over and the distinguished guests
departed, the lights out and the debris of
the carnival cleared away, in the calm
reflections that follow there is good
and sufficient reason for the gentle ecstacv
pervading all, from the managers down
to the small boy xvho whooped up the

than twenty thousand people passed
through the turnstiles on the opening day •
the second day registered six thousand
and on no day since has the attendance
lallen much below two thousand. Be
sides this, every foot of available space
under this widespread roof has been taken

xvas one of those nearest completion on
the opening. The mineral exhibit here is
on a vast scale. Commissioner A J. Mc-
Whirter has returned to his State to stir
up some counties not yet heard from.
Since Georgia and' North and South
Carolina do not put in an appearance
until September, the places that are yet
to know them have a decidedlv lonesome
outlook.
The music all this while is the great at
traction. The Seventh Regiment Band
is more than fulfilling expectations. Its
selections are in the highest style, both
classical and miscellaneous. It has sev
eral line solo pertormers, Currie, a trom
bone soloist, and \V. C. Bowen, a cornet
ist, xvho, in his performances on the open
ing day, xvas mistaken by half the crowd
for Levy. Every afternoon and evening
Ihe band gives an elaborate concert. It
is stationed in the pavilion in the park
and certainly a restful hour under the
trees with the cool grass under foot is not
a bad way of taking in the concert. There
is also an organ recital on the great in
strument every afternoon at 5 o’clock.
The Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas
Pacific Railroad from its prettv pavilion
distributes broadcast to visitors’ two beau
tifully illustrated and attractive tourists’
guides, one of which, “Rambles in Sum
mer Days,” is a guide to the lakes and
seashore; the other, “Winter Cities in a
Summer Land,” is what its title indi
cates—a courier for the winter tourist on
his line of march. The beauties of Flor
ida, Southern Georgia and South Carolina
as winter resorts are there made so en
chanting it is enough Jo make a hermit
turn out of his cave and go a jaunting in
a palaee car.
THE PRESS ROOM
is on the Exposition’s north side, just
over the Park entrance, and is fitted up
very cosily. The Alabama editors are
hooked in a body for the first of September
Saturday is the people’s day, admission
theu being cut from fifty to twenty-five
cents. A petition xvas made in behalf of
the German citizens that the Exposition
be allowed to remain open on Sundav,
inasmuch as the Germans were accus
tomed’to Sunday festivals, and many of
the working class could not attend in the
week. The proposition, however, ’met
with no favor.
There is plenty of room for guests. In
addition to the old first-class hotels, arc
Alexander’s, formerly the Willard, just
opened, and in all the glory of renovations
and fresh paint. The old Exposition, now
the Exposition Hotel, was recently
thrown open, with a capacity for twenty
five hundred guests, and no sleeping on
tables or floors. It Is a pity it is to have
such an ephemeral existence, for it is one
oftlie prettiest places in the city. None
pf the hotels will charge more than fair
rates. Some boarding-houses displayed
a disposition to he exorbitant, but they
were promptly cut out from the list by
the Committee on Accommodations. Any
arrangement with private families can be
made through Mr. James E. Moore, Chair
man of Committee on Public Comfort,
Exposition building.
President Arthur remarked while in the
city to a distinguished citizen who was
delighting to do him honor: “In all mv
travels I have never met with a kindness
that has touched me as this of the Louis
ville people. Elsewhere in the South I
have been treated with a graceful and
generous hospitality and a frank cor
diality, but here 1 somehow seem to feel
the warm Southern heart as I never felt
it before. I anr more than glad that I
oame.” Nice old fellow ! Drop in
whenever you can—we will be delighted
to see you.
THK NAMK OK LINCOLN
excited a wild enthusiasm among the ne
groes. The greater number profoundly
believed it was old Abe himself, and they
crowded to see him. One old woman went
to a prominent florist and bought a mam
moth bouquet of the costliest flowers to
send to the man “who gimme my free
dom.” She went to the Galt House and
insisted upon presenting it in person.
Finding this impossible by some influence
of the back stairs it was taken to the
Secretary’s room and placed among the
plants that tilled it. In some way he
heard the story and when the gorgeous
special train left Louisville with the Pres
idential party the big bouquet was among
the exotics that made the Secretary’s
coach redolent. A Louisville party, ac
companying them to Chicago report that
the Secretary is carrying his flowers to
the Yellowstone.
Indignant comment is rife here over the
Governor’s action in pardoning the group
of criminals recently liberated. Fergu
son came down to Kis home like a suo
cessful General returning from the wars,
and has been holding a levee ever since.
Grove Kennedy, who murdered his uncle,
held a reign of terror in the Lancaster
district, and was difficult to quench. He
has gone back there and a lively time is
anticipated in the near future.
Talmage wrote Gov. Blackburn a letter
not longe since, applauding his peniten
tiary course. The Governor has since had
lalmageas a guest, when the well-known
preacher held forth at the Ilio-h Bridge
camp meeting a week ago. This is re
garded as* a foretaste of what Blackburn
means to do before he gives up. Stirred
up by his conscience and Brother Tal
mage, he is about to turn the peniten
tiary inside out.

W ASHINGTON, August 9.—Captain
Leonard hitney, tor many years man
ager of the Western Union office in this
city, has been promoted to he Assistant
Superintendent of the Southern district,
with headquarters at Washington. Cap
tain Whitney’s promotion was made as a
recognition of his ability and zeal in the
management ot the company’s interest in
Washington and of his arduous and faith
ful service during the strike.
John D. Clark, chief operator of the
Western Union office at Philadelphia, suc
ceeds Captain Whitney as manager of the
Washington office.
Washington, August 9, 10 p. m.—-
Capt. Whitney has declined the appoint
ment as Assistant Superintendent, and
has tendered his resignation from the
management of the Washington office,
n ■ w J OBK , August 9.—The Western
Union telegraph Company reported this
morning that there had been no wire cut
ting last night. Business, the company
said, xvas all cleared up this morning
"hen the day force took their desks. One
lady operator, who had been out with the
strikers, returned to work this morning.
The officials also said that there was no
truth in the statement that the company
"'as losing $50,000 a day in consequence
of the strike. The company was not
losing anything at all, and it was proba
ble that the net receipts were little, if
any, below the average. There was, of
course, a falling off of gross re
ceipts, and this upon good authori
ty, was stated to be less than lo
per cent. On the other hand, the com
pany's expenses have been diminished,
as many small offices were not open and
the force was smaller in all the larger
offices. While the company was not
making as much perhaps as before the
strike, it was not losing anything.
In regard to the amount of busi
nes now actually handled bv the
company, it was said that it was
equal to more than three-quarters of its
ordinary bulk. It was not true that the
A merican Rapid Company had been em
ployed by the Western Union Coinpanvto
transmit delayed messages. The Western
Union Company was fully capable ot
handling its own business without resort
ing to the wires of any other company.
The strikers are still confident of suc-
cess and exhibit no indications of weak
ness. They insist that the railroad opera
tors in the West are all out notwithstand
ing the statements to the contrarx* made
i ♦ the representatives of railroad com
panies.
Augusta, Ga., August 9.— The strike
among the telegraphers in the Third dis

as practically ended. The full force re

A STRIKE IN THE COKE REGION.
The Operators Arrayed Against the
Knight g of Labor.
Pittsburg, August 9.— An extended
strike in the GomieUsvHle coke regTffii Is
not improbable. The Knights of Labor
Lave lately been organizing the
miners in that district and the
operators have combined to oppose
them. Last Monday several miners
who were known to be members of the
Knights of Labor were discharged from
Morewood & MeCures’ works, and the
other men refused to work unless those
who had been dismissed xvere reinstated.
This the operators refused to do, and the
works are now idle. It is said that some
action will be taken at all the other large
mines.
Weaver* Win a Victory.
Providence, R. 1., August 9.— The
strike at the Woonsocket Company’s mill
has ended, the weavers returning to work
this morning. They demanded twenty
ceuts a cut—not txxenty-one cents, as be
fore reported—and this demand was
granted. This is an advance of I]4 ceuts
per cut.

MORGAN'S DEATH.
Colonel Brownlow Makes a Statement
Regarding His Connection with the
Killing of the Confederate Chieftain.
A Washington special to the Louisville
Courier-Journal , August 7th, says: “The
Courier-Journal of Sunday last contained
a long account of the death of John II
Morgan, from the lips of an eve-witness,
who declared that Morgan was murdered
after his surrender, and his bodv was sub
jected to brutal treatment by Union
officers and soldiers. It was asserted
among other things, bv this eye
witness, that ‘we met Gillam’s
command about two miles out of town
where Campbell took the bodv by the hair’
and, in sight of the whole s'taff, threw it
oil backward into the muddy road. Ahe
did this, Gillam’s Adjutant General and
Lieutenant Colonel Brownlow, a son of
the notorious Parson Brownlow, jumped
down off their horses, and each took off
one of the dead man’s boots, while their
command gave three cheers and a ti"r
Then riding off in high glee, they left us
with the body.”
I he attention of Colonel Brownlow wa j
called to this paragraph to-dav, and l.<_
denounced it as false In every particular.
He says he has in his possession lettors
written by Major Charles A. Withers
now of Cincinnati, who was chief of Mor
gan’s staff, and by other officers who were
members of the staff, all showing that
Morgan had not surrendered, but he was
trying to get to his horse to escape when
he was shot down. Major Withers and
another officer of his staff were with Mor
gan when he was killed by a volley fired
by a squad of the Ninth ca’valrv—Colonel
Brownlow’s regiment. The surprise had
been complete, but a portion of Morgan’s
command rallied and there was a brisk
fight after he fell.
Col. Brownlow says: “Captain Xorth
ington, of my regiment, who is now liv
ing in Kansas, and who was a very pow
erful man, seized Morgan's body, threw
it across his horse and brought it out into
the road, where I was, shouting that he
had ‘the thief.’ I ordered him to lay the
body on the grass by the roadside and
take command of his company, for we
still had lighting to do. He obeyed my
order. About that time Captain
Clay, of Morgan’s staff, was
brought iu a prisoner. Soon after
ward he came to me and said one of
my officers had Morgan’s coat and vest,
and asked me to get them, which I did
The body was removed to the house as
soon as practicable. I never touched it
nor thought of doing so. General Gillatn
had not come up at the time, and did not
know that Morgan was in Greenville
until he had been dead at least an hour.
1 be body was then at the house, and I
went with him to look at it.”
Colonel Brownlow says that he can sub
stantiate his statements bv all of General
Morgan’s officers who were present and
are now living.
