Augusta was visited at 5 o'clock Friday
afternoon by a furious rain storm, accom
paued by hail, snow and wintry blasts of
wind The Chronicle says: Opposite the Al
gernon Mill the foot bridge over the canal at
that point was completely swept away and
blown into the canal. At the King Mill the
wind dip|icd again acd took off about 100
feet of tin roofing from the mill. It followed
the canal and took a large piece of the tin
roof from the Enterprise Mill. In the ncigh
isrrhoodof Hawk's gully a number ol trees
were blown down and one or two small
frame houses overturned. The Riverside Mills
also lost at portion of its roof, and trees and
limbs were blown dowr. in all the upper por
tions of the city fin Reynolds street a large
tree in front of Sheriff’ Daniel’s office was
broken shoft off, a lout four feet from the
ground, and fell across the street, carrying
with it the telephone wires recently hung in
the centre of the street. On Warren b ock a
tree in front of the Graniteville Manufactur
ing Company’s office was broken off about five
feet from the ground and blown into the
street, narrow Iv missing a horse and dray
standing at the door. The rainfall was very
heavv as well as the wind, and the hail
cooled off the atmosphere very much for a
few hoars. A beautiful rainbow spanned the
heavens in the east, and the sun shone out
brightly, making a beautiful afternoon after
the rain was over.
Camilla CUirUm: On Sunday Millie Jack
son, a well-known young negro woman, the
wife of John Jackson, died under very sus
picious circumstances. It was known among
the colored people that she and her husband
had had a difficulty not many hours bef-.re
her death. As soon as the circumstances of
• her death became known to our Coroner,
t apt. J. T. Owen, he summoned a jury, which
sat on the case on Monday and agreed upon
the following verdict: “We, the jury, from
the ev dence heard, 11ml ground for suspicion
of foul play, but cannot make a verdict with
out the confirming aid of a post mortem ex
amination, which )>ost mortem examination
canuot be held for reasou of physicians refus
ing to operate for fees as prescribed by
law. C. T. DeGraffenned, Foreman/’
In the meantime a warrant was
issued and Sheriff G. W. Swindle kept his eye
on Jackson, and after kindly waiting till the
burial was over, arrested him aud lodged him
in jail. Yesterday the ease was brought liefore
his Honor, Judge Scaife, of the County Court,
and the prisoner was sentenced to six months
in the chain gang for “wife whipping.” It is
to be regretted that the friends of the woman
di'l not know how to work the case better in
the premises and that the law allows the
fiCoroner no discretion as to physicians fees in
such cases. No one can blame a physician
for refusing to dissect a mangled corpse this
hot weather, where murder is suspected, for
so small a fee as S2O. We kuow nothing of the
character of Miilie Jackson. But her mother
and her brothers, Hooker Blake and Law
rence Cohen, are among the most inoffensive
l>eople in the community. Sheriff Swindle
took Jackson to the Albany jail on Wednes
day.

Caranelle correspondence News, July 7:
You and Dykes broke jail on Monday last and
ran over the jailer, who was a very old man.
They then made their way back in this neigh
borhood. but we were oil the watch. They
went to the house of one of our citizens very
hungry, as they had eaten nothing since leav
ing the jail. After giving them a good square
meal they were informed that it was time to
come to tliis place, and the gentleman
marched them here and delivered them to
Mr. Walden, the Deputy Sheriff, who has re
turned them to jail, and they are now both
heavily ironed. Dykes says Von billed Sirs.
Crown, and Yon says that it was not him but
Dykes who killed her. They may yet tell the
truth about it. At all events, from what thev
both sav, they arc the right parties.—We have

vant girl, who were burned to death
at Bradford yesterday, he has lost all his
witnesses, and that it will consequently be

Indianapolis, July 12.—A largely at
tended Democratic meeting to ratify the
nominations of Cleveland and Hendricks
was held here to-night. Hendricks and
McDonald were escorted to the place of
speaking by the new political labor or
ganization, known as•• The Autocrats.”
The meeting was called to order by Aus
tin H. Brown, and William H. English
was made Chairman. Hendricks was re
ceived with a burst of genuine enthus
iasm, which seemed to inspire him. His
remarks were as follows:
My Fellow Citieem: You are almost as mad
as they were in the convention at Chicago.
[Great cheering.] I ' thought that they
would not stop up there at all, and I thought
that there was uo limit to the crowd of people,
but I find that there is a larger crowd almost
here. lam very much encouraged and de
lighted to meet you on this occasion. You
come to celebrate and to express your
approval of the nominations that
were -made at Chicago. I am
glad that you are cordial in this expression.
This is a great year with us. Every fourth
year the people elect the two great officers of
the government.
WORK FOR EVERY MAN.
This year is our great year, and every man.
whatever his party associations may be, is
called upon to reconsider all questions upon
which he is disposed to act, and, having recon
sidered, to cast liis vote in favor of what lie
believes to lie right. The Democracy of lu
iliana appointed me one of the delegates to the
convention at Chicago. I spent nearly a week in
attendance at that city. I return to sav a
few things to you, and only a few things, in
regard to that convention. It was the largest
convention ever held in America. Never has
such an assemblage of people been seen before.
It was a convention marked in its
character for sobriety, deliberation and
purpose. It selected two men to carry
the banner, and leaving that convention
and going out before the ]>eople the question
is: “Will you help carrv the banner:” [Great
cheeriug and cries of “We will do it.”] I do
not expect—l have no right to expect—that I
will escape the crilicism and. it ma? lie, the
slander of the opposite party.
ASKS THEIR SUFFRAGES.
I have not in my life suffered much by that,
but I come before you. Democrats, Conserva
tives. Independents, and all men who wish to
restore the government to the position it oc
cupied before these corrupt times, and to all
such men I make my appeal for vour
support for the high office for which I have
been nominated by the Democracy at Chicago.
[Great cheers.] Grover Cleveland, Governor
of New York, is the nominee for President.
He was promoted to that high office l>y the
largest majority ever deciding an election in
that State. He is a man of established hon
esty of character, aud if you will elect
him to the Presidency of the United
States you will not hear of star routes in
the postal service of the country under
his administration, rcheers.l 1 will tel you
what we need. Democrats and Republicans
will agree upon that. We need to have the
books in the government service opened for
examination. [Cheers and cries of “Iliat is
it.”] Do you think that men in this age never
yield to temptation? [Laughter.]
BURNSIDE’S STEAL.
It is only two weeks ago since one of the
Secretaries at Washington was called before
the Senate Committee to testify in regard to
the condition of his department. In that dc
uartment was the Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery. In that department an
examination was being had by
a committee from the Senate,
ami it was ascertained by the oath of the
Secretary that sits at the head of that depart
mnt that the defalcation found during the
last year, as far as It hail been estimating was
sd\ooo, ,-nd when asked about it he said that
lie had received a letter a year ago informing
him of some of these outrages, and that a
short time since somebody had come to him
and told him that frauds were going on in the
s ~rvice, but that a member of Congress had
recommended a continuance of the heart of
the bureau with such earnestness that he
thought that it must be all right,
and now it turns out that the public
is $3,C00 out. and how much more no man, I
expect, can now tell. But what is the reme
dy ? To have a President who will appoint a
head of the bureau who will investigate the
condition of the books and bring all guilty
parties to trial. [Cheers ana cries of
“That’s it.” |
CLEVELAND THE MAN FOR THE WORK.
My fellow citizens, I believe that for such a
duty as this, for the purpose of maintaining
the United States Government for the people
of this country, I can commend to your confi
dence Gov. Cleveland, of New Tork. [Great
cheering.] Not long since there were troubles
in the local government or the city of Buffalo,
and the conservative people of that city nomi
nated Grover Cleveland as their candidate
for Mayor, not upon a party ticket but upon
a citizen’s ticket, with the duty assigned to
him of correcting the evils that prevailed in
! the government of the city of Buffalo. He
was elected aud entered upon the duties of
; the oflice and madecorrections in the manage
ment of the affairs of that city so clearly and
so well defined that the people of New York
took him up and made him Governor of
the State, and that is the way he
comes before you now. [Cries of “Hur
rah for Cleveland,”] lie who corrects
all the evils in a badly administered
city government and goes from that service
into the affairs of State government and
makes correction there, will then, in the
natural order of proceeding, go into the afl'airs
of anotner government and brfbg about re
forms there. [Great cheering.] My fellow-citi
zens, I did not intend to speak this long to
you. [Loud cries of “Go ahead” and “Keep
it up.’’] The convention at Chicago did not
realize all that we expected.
HE WAS NOT A CANDIDATE.
For myself I had no expectations. In no
respect, in no sense was I a candidate for
any office whatever. We did not re
alize all that we expected, but
I believe in a fate of humanity almost every
where and under almost everv circumstance.
Hut have we realized that this should en
courage ustomakean effort for good govern -
ment? | Cries of “That is the beginning.”]
Not that I want the office to which I was
nominated, for you know that I did not de
sire that, but somebody must be nominated
for Vice President to run on the ticket with
the candidate for President, and when the
ticket is presented to you you are called upon
to pass judgment upon it in respect to
its merits throughout. [Cheers aud cries
of “Yes, and we will support it.”] That is the
question. Will you support it? [Cheers, and
cries of “We will.”] And in asking that ques
tion I want to ask you another.
TIME FOR A CHANGE.
Do you not, all of you, Democrats and Re
publicans, believe that the affairs of the gov
ernment have been long enough in the hands
of one set of men? [Cries of “We do.”] And
do you not all believe that we have reached a
period when there ought to be a change?
[Cries of “We do,” and “We will have it.”] I
do not ask that all shall be turned
out. That is not the idea. It
is not the idea. If a man has done his duty
well and faithfully, if he has not used the
powers of his office to disturb the rights of the
people, if he has not furnished money to poli
ticians, if he has simply confined himself to
the duties of liis office, I am not clamoring
for his official head; but. my fellow citizens, of
these 140,000 men who fill official positions in
the country, we have no right to suppose from
all that has taken place that they are
all honest [cheers and laughter],
and the only way that we
can know is to make a change. A month ago
everybody supposed that all the employes in
the Bureau of Medicine aud Surgury were
honest, and now at the very first examination
it turns out that they are not. But wliat is
the reined? ? Put them out and put honest
men in. [Cheers and cries of “That is it!”l
We can’t do that if we leave the same Presi
iftnt and heads of departments and heads of
bureaus in.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
I have every faith that this ticket will be
elected. [Cries of “So have I.”] I know
something about Indiana. [Great cheers and
laughter.] We will probably stand here to
gether. Won’t we? [Cries of “You bet.”] And
this banner of liberty, of right and justice, of
fair government that has been put in the
hands of Cleveland and Hendricks shall
be carried and placed in glorious
triumph on top of the capitol in November
next. [Great cheering and cries of “We will
put it there.”] Shall this lie the people’s
banner? [Cries of “It is.”] You have no in
terest except in good government, too.
I have lived a good while. I
have tried to secure your
confidence and preserve it [cries of “You
have it, too”], and all I ask of you is your sup
port, not for myself, but for your
selves and for your children and all
people. [Cheers]. Now, I have spoken
longer than I intended. [Cries of
“Go on!” and “We.are not tired of you!”] I
know that when any of my Republican friends
who are intending to stand by their party
still longer shall see this numerous crowd to
night. they will think the doom of the fates
has come at last. [Cheers and laughter.]
DIFFERENCE IN THE ENTHUSIASM.
Why, I happened up the street a few weeks
ago—it was just after Blaine and Logan were
nominated—and I saw a little gathering of
very honest and honorable people behaving
themselves exceedingly well and very
quietly. Gen. Harrison was deliver-
SAVANNAH, SUNDAY, JULY 13, 1884.
ing them a speech about the nomi
nations made at Chicago, [loud laughter],
and, reallv, if you were to bring that crowd
here, and dump it right down amongst vou,
you would not notice it at all. [Cheers and
laughter.] What does it mean? It means
that the people intend to have re
form {cheers’, and that is the watch
word that is written upon every
Democratic banner. It was written on the
Democratic banner eight years ago, and Til
den and Hendricks carried that banner.
[Cheers.l But reform was defeated by de
feating the rights of the people to elect their
own rulers. TCheers.j And what is the con
sequence? There has been no reduction of
public expenditures, although the war was
all the while passing further and further from
us.
NO REDUCTION MADE BY THE REPUBLI
CANS.
Still this Republican party makes no redud
tion in the public expenditures. Shall we
have it? Shall we have cheap government?
Shall we have lower taxes? They tell us that
the government can be well carried on for
$100,000,000 less than is now collected from
the public. If Cleveland shall come
into the - Presidential offfi-*. j believe
that he will bring the expenditures dot* u to
the last dollar that will support the govern
ment, economically administered. [Cheers.]
Ana when he does that he will have accom
plished what (Sen. Jackeon said was the aim
of any government. The government has not
the right to co lect a dollar from the people
except what is necessary to zxieet the public
service. [Cheers and cries of ‘That is right!”]
What the government needs she lias a right to
come to me, to you, to ail of us, and make us
pay.
NO RIGHT TO TAKE MORE.
But when she gets all that she needs for an
economical administration she iias not the
right to take another sixpence out of our
pockets, and that is all we ask. When this
ticket shall wave in triumph that idea will
■be established in this country. [Cheers.]
I thank you very much for the attention you
have given me. J ask you simply as citizens
interested in all that interests any of us, that
you will give your attention to this Campaign,
and never cease in proper effort and in just
effort until your Democratic banner with the
Democratic principles of reform and cheap
government is waving in all the skies above
your heads. [Cheers.]
At the close of Mr. Hendricks’ speech,
ex-Senator McDonald was introduced,
and spoke briefly. He was followed by
local speakers. After the speeches were
concluded the meeting adjourned.
BAYARD SURE OF VICTORY.
The Senator Giad the Leadership Fell
on Other Shoulders than His Own.
Wilmington, Del., July 12.— Senator
Bayard came iu from his suburban home
to his office shortly before 11 o’clock this
morning, and was just opening his morn
ing mail when an Associated Press rep
resentative called upon him. He said
that he was not yet prepared to speak
Ireely and fully in regard to the work of
opening the campaign, but would do so
when the smoke of the convention shall
have cleared away. He really lelt a
sense of relief, he said, now that the con
vention had made its choice, and that the
great responsibilities of the leadership
had fallen on other shoulders. He
said further that he would give the
ticket his hearty support, as he had
freely and immediately announced in his
telegram to Gov. Cleveland congratu
lating him upon his nomination. He re
ferred to Gov. Cleveland’s letter of ac
ceptance of the Gubernatorial nomina
tion in 1882, as an admirable document
which had attracted his attention at the
time, and lingered in his memory, and he
was prepared to believe that the time had
now come when the American people,
tiring of the eviis of-Republican misgov
ernment, and repulsed by the ticket
which that party had put 'into the field,
would demand and secure a change of
the administration.
ONE OF CLEVELAND’S FOES.
John F. Henry Predicts the Loss of
New York by 50,000 Votes.
New York, July 12.—John F. Henry,
President of the National Anti-monopoly
organization, said to-day: “I have not
heard from Gen. Butler since Cleveland
was nominated, but from what he said to
me before going to Chicago I am confi
dent that he will not support Cleveland.
He cannot do it. He has fornaallv ac
cepted the nomination of the Anti-monop
olists and he telegraphed to me from Chi
cago Thursday saying that he would
never consent to the nomination of a mo
nopolist. That Cleveland is a monopolist
is proven by his acts. He ap
pointed railroad and canal com
missioners in the interest of the
railroads, the canal commissioner
being a New York Central Railroad man,
and his veto of the five cent fare bill and
twelve hour bill for horse car drivers and
conductors are of the same parcel. Gen.
Butler and all the anti-monopolists and
workingmen are against Cleveland. The
Democratic party has stultified itself for
years. They have been professing anti
monopoly beliefs m their platforms, and
now they take a first class monopolist as
their leader. There will be a majority of
50,000 against Cleveland in this State.”
HENDRICKS TO ACCEPT.
The Vice President Uncommunicative,
but AH will End Well.
Indianapolis, July 12.—Ex-Senator
Hendricks arrived here early this morn
ing, and was received with a salute. He
remained at his residence all the morning,
where he was the recipient of many con
gratulations from friends and neighbors.
A large number of congratulatory tele
grams were also received. Mr. Hendricks
declines to answer positively whether he
will accept or decline the nomination,
saying that it would not be proper for him
to discuss the matter till he is formally
notified. It is the generl impression
here that he will accept. A ratification
meeting here will he held this evening, at
which Mr. Hendricks is expected to
speak.
Chicago Deserted,
Chicago, July 12.—There were very
few remaining evidences this morning of
the Democratic Convention. Delegates
very generally have taken their depart
ure. The club and headquarters banners
have been taken down, and the hotel cor
ridors have resumed their wonted ap
pearance. On the streets are to be seen
an unusual number of people. The mem
bers of the National Committee and other
leaders of the party who are still in the
city express confidence as to the strength
of the ticket. The delegates express
great satisfaction at their reception and
entertainment.
Cleveland Safer for the Country.
London, July 12.—The Daily News,
commenting tfpon the nomination of Gov.
Cleveland, says: “America’s foreign re
lations will be safer in Gov. Cleveland’s
hands than in those of Blaine. The lat
ter represents the American Jingo party,
which, like the same partv here, makes
up in audacity and volubility for lack of
number. As President, Cleveland would
cultivate quietude abroad and peace at
home. If elected, he will be chosen on
the ground that he will more worthily
represent the probity, good sense and
studied moderation of the American peo
ple than Blaine.”

Cleveland created little if anv enthusi
asm, but numerous interviews’ disclosed

beaten.

late but the other train was on time. The
west bound train was showing a white
light, but a red light should have been
shown to the Martinsburg train to de
tain it until the other train had safely
passed the switch. Whether this light
was shown will have to be determined ly
investigation. Michael Riley, engineer of
the Martinsburg train, 'wa9 killed,

CONVENTION ECHOES.
Interesting Points Picked Up by a Cor
respondent.
The speech of the convention was from
Congressman McKenzie, of Kentucky,
who presented the name of John G. Car
lisle. -McKenzie had, too, the b-st sub
ject. Carlisle, next to Bayard, is by long
odds the best man who was presented to
the convention. .McKenzie evidently
knew all about Carlisle, and it was equal
ly clear that he was his fervent admirer.
He was one of the few men who were
really eloquent, because he really had
something to say, and believed in bis own
heart what he said. He presented Car
lisle in the name of the South, which in
the next election will give 153 of the elec
toral votes out of the 201 required to elect
the President.
It was the first appearance of a manly
front from a Solid South in a national
convention since the war. If the timid
delegates of the South had had the cour
age to wheel in line, to follow th bold
leadership of the Kentucky and egatiou,
Carlisle would certainly have be *u the
most formidable compromise candidate
the field could have selected.
The Southern people in the convention
dwelt much upon the fact that the war
was over, and that this country should
not be divided any more upon' lines of
latitude than it should upon lines of lon
gitude. If they believe this they should
not be afraid of Northern prejudice against
the Solid South.
McKenzie gave the convention the first
genuine eloquence to which it was
treated. He spoke without preparation
and carried off the honors easily. At the
cpd of his first sentence, a neighboring
correspondent said to rue:
“Is not that man from Kentucky?”
“He is,” I answered.
“I thought so,” said he. “It is in Ken
tucky orators are born.”
THE GREAT JOKE OF THE. CONVENTION
was the killing of Henry Watterson’s
speech. He had written out an elaborate
effort to be used in seconding the nomina
tion of “Old Saddlebags.” He had pre
pared himself well. He had rehearsed his
effort before a magnificent pier-glass at
the Palmer House, and was ready to take
the convention by storm. But before he
could deliver his speech he learned that
the Kentucky delegation was to present
Carlisle. As Kentucky is one great clan
nish family, this action shut off JYatter
son’s advocacy of McDonald. He was so
disgusted at the situation that he imi
tated Ben Butler and left the convention
for the day.
GOV. HENDRICKS’ SPEECH NOMINATING
THE “OLD TICKET”
under guise of nominating Joseph E.
McDonald was a clever one, but if it
really intended to nominate McDonald it
was not far short of a failure. The be
ginning of the speech was a general
treatise on government, and a programme
of what Mr. Hendricks would do with the
fenel-al government if he were President,
ut which had no discoverable relation to
the candidacy of Joseph E. McDonald. The
great fraud and the duty of the Demo
cratic party to avehge it, occupied much
more of Mr. Hendricks’ attention than
Indiana’s favorite son did.
AS FOR THE CONVENTION
itself, it appeared to be composed of men
better looking physically than the mem
bers of the Republican Convention. There
was less a look of business and solidity
and plain matter-of-factness, and more o’f
an appearance of show and display and
fine dressing than there was a month ago;
and, upon the whole, I must say I never
saw a finer looking body of men In any
public gathering. The Democracy run
greatly to display, and in this respect one
of tbeir conventions is by far more at
tractive than a Republican gathering.
BEN BUTLER HAS BEEN
on the war-path all day. He is mad about
the platform, and his mad sticks out all
over. While in conversation with several
Congressmen and Senators he declared
that the platform did not meet with hii
ideas and those of the workingmen whom
he represented. “I have at” my back,”
said Gen. Butler, “an organization of
workingmen who will poll 1,500,000 votes.
They are solid for me, and expect that I
will look out for their interests here.
Should I countenance a plank in the
Democratic platform which is not in
their interests, I would be recreant to the
trust Imposed in me. The very moment I
put myself in that position the organiza
tion which now supports me would
go to pieces. 1 would not do that for their
sakes, and certainly you would not have
me do it for my own. At heart I want to
have the Democrats succeed, because I
believe that if they are not now with me
the day is not far distant when they will
be. Should I run I do not believe that
their chances will be diminished. 1 will
draw most of my votes from the Republi
can party. This would be of advantage
to the Democrats. Should I secure any
electoral votes it would simply throw the
election into the House of Representa
tives, and that would insure the election
of a Democratic President.” The position
as outlined in this statement of Gen. But
ler explains the failure to nominate him.
It shows, together with the fact that he
will not accept the platform in any of its
parts, that he intends to run as a'stump
candidate.
