Amerlcus Recorder : Some time ago Mr. Joe
Mizetcmk a negro out of jail by paying his
fine and put him on his farm, about a mile
from this city, to work it out. The negro
soon ran away and began working for a neigh
bor, Mrs. Hawkins. Mize sent the negro
word that if he did not pay the balance of his
fine still due he would have him locked up.
Saturday morning Will Mize and young Haw
kins started out for a hunt. As they were go
ing by the negro’s cabin Hawkins said he
would stop aud tell the negro to get out, as
they had ordered him off belore. lie found
the negro inside, who, as soon as he saw who
his visitor was, raised his pistol and snapped
it at Hawkins. He then saw Mize, and
snapp' and the pistol at him. As he raised the
pistol Mize fired his gun at him, the load en
tering the negro’s lelt arm. The uegro then
started to run, but turned when he had got a
short distance, and fired at Mize, the pistol
this time going off, Mize again fired at him
and the negro then ran away. It was found
that the negro was seriously hurt. It is sup
posed the negro thought that Mize and Haw
kins had come to take him bank to jail when
he fired on them.
Marietta Journal: Last Saturday Mr. F.
Schilling sent a negro boy to his residence
iwith a note to his wife for $49. The monev
rwas placed in a paper sack—slß in silver anil
1 oiu paper money. The negro boy placed
The sack in his pocket and the silver split a
hole in the sack and worked out into the ne
gro’6 pocket. Thinking the silver was all the
hag contained, he threw away the hag with
the S3O in it. When the negro arrived at the
store, minus part of the money, he was tent
hack to look for the sack, and was fortunate
enough to find it with the money intact.
About this time “Kinnebrew,” a half-witted
negro, came along and snatched the money
from the negro liov and ran out Cherokee
street. Marshal \V. P. Stephens was informed
of the high way robbery and started in pur
suit in a buggy. Overtaking Kinnebrew. he
searched him and found the money in his vest
pocket, lie turned Kinnebrew over to the
sheriff and the money over to Mr. Schilling.
Kinnebrew was placed in jail, liut later Mr.
Schilling, ou consulting with a Justice of the
Peace, was advised to turn hint loose. Kin
n.-i.row’s craziness may destroy his responsi
bility to the law, hut one thing is certain, he
is too dangerous a negro to run at large.
Elberton Xetc South: There is a large
amount of lands now offered for sale in this
county for the first time since the war. These
lands consist ntainlv of large plantation-, con
taining from 500 to 3,000 and 4,000 acres each,
and are owned by men who were large
planters before the war, or their descendants.
These lands have mainly been cultivated l>y
colored tenants since that time, and although
most of them are the finest lands in the
county, they have not been made profitable
to their ox hers on account of not being well
managed. We have thousands of acres that
can. t ith hut little fertilizing, be made to
produce a bale of cotton per acre, which can
hebonghtat $8 and $lO per acre. This state
of affairs cannot last much longer, for when
people from other sections are made familiar
with the great inducements offered here for
investment in lands, they will not be slow to
take advantage of it. Even now we see men
almost daily from other sections hunting
homes amongst us, and so far as we have
heard, there is not one who has examined the
lands for sale in this county who was not
pleased with the land and satisfied with the
price. These large plantations should have
been cut up into convenient tracts and sold
out to industrious and progressive farmers
long ago, and it would have been much more
profitable to the owners and better for the
country.
An Atlanta special reviews the Broad will
ease as follows: The proceedings against John
L. Conley in the Broad will case have devel
oped the singular story of the dissipation of a
fortune. Years ago there came to Atlanta a
typical Englishman ua . ed John Broad, who
established a low groggery ou what became
in later years one of the principal corners of
the city. It was suspected that the place was
arendezrotts for thieves, and that Broad was
not particular as to ilie ownership o' pawns
received. This suspicion was strengthened a
year liefore Broad’s death. When he was
preparing for a visit to England he put over
200 watches in the safe of a friend lo be kept
until his return. It was claimed that Broad
made a will in favor of Frederick
Camming, a relative, but after liia death
the will was missing. ( umming adver
tised offering a reward for the missing docu
ment, and in a couple of weeks he claimed to
have regained possession of it. The will was
contested ou the ground that it was not gen
uine. The contestants employed John L.
Conley, a well known liepubi can politician,
and son of Postmaster Conley, who was so
di-gracefu ly dismissed from ti‘e Atlanta Post
office a few months ago. On the first pro
ceedings the will was knocked oat. and Con
ley succeeded iu securing the administrator
ship of the estate, valued at $30,000. Although
the will has since been sustained, Conley has
never given up the clutch lie obtained on the
property, and now it is doubtful if either
Gumming or any of the other relatives will
ever get their dues. Being ordered by court
to strengthen his bonds, Conley was unable to
do so. Mr. K. Met andless was appointed
to succeed him, but Conley refused to
recognize Me< andless, and the latter ap
plied tor a receiver to take charge
of the assets pending a settlement of
the question of administratorship. Judge
Hammond appointed Mr. Jack J. Spal
ding as temporary receiver, ordering Conley
to turn the estate over, and enjoining him
from further exercising control over or in
terfering with t lie same. When Mr. Spald
ing demanded the assets Conley turned over
to him alw.ut $1,600 in notes only, and said he
di<l not have other assets in hand. Judge
Hammond issued an attachment against
< mley and his partner, Vi. L. Shumate, to
show cause why they should not be punished
for contempt of court. It was charged that
Conley had received a large sum oi money,
nearlv $30,000, ami liad deposited some tn the
Atlanta National Bank in the name, and to
the credit, of the firm of Conley A Shumate.
In his sworn answer, Mr. Coiilev admitted
that he was owing the estate some" $$$,600. He
refused lo answer as to where that money
now is, but claimed that as he had given
tiond as administrator he was onlv a
debtor to the estate. Iu the absence of
any proof on the part of the complainants
that at the time of issuing the order to
turn over the assets it was within his ability
to do so, the attachment against him was dis
missed. During the progress of the case Mr.
Conley was required to produce his bank
book and check-, but when the hearing was
resumed he produced only his bank pass
book. When asked to produce his checks lie
slated that he could not do so because they
had t een destroyed, Mr. Conley said that he
could not tell where the money was. It had
gone out of his possession, and be diunot have
it when ordered to pay it over to Mr. Spald
ing. t oultiy could not state where ihe money
had gone because it wuttld criminate him.
He declared, however, that not a dollar of it
had cutie to make up the deficit due to the
I'uited States Government, from h i father
the ex-Postmaster nor to pay any
part of shortage of Mr Joe Nall, the Assist
ant Postmaster under his father.

VILLA RICA FOILS A RIOT.
THE KILLING OF A NEGRO FIEND
EXCITES THE BLACKS.
A Massacre or the Whites and the Burn
ing of the Town Threatened—The De
termination of the Citizens to Make a
Bold Resistance Overawes the Blus
terers.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21— Villa Rica, on
tbe Georgia Pacific Railroad, was last
night thrown into a high state of excite
ment by the killing of a negro named
John Johnson. The intelligence of the
affair was brought to this city to-day.
Burly negroes were congregated about
the streets, cursing and yelling and
swearing vengeance against the men who
had arrested and killed Johnson. Others
threatened to apply the torch and not
leave a house standing. Many were seen
with shotguns thrown across their shoul
ders, anil others with pistols and blud
geons. The whole town seemed to oe in
perfect turmoil, and it was believed that
a serious riot would follow. Nothing
definite could be learned as to the origin
of ihe trouble last night, as there was no
telegraphic service. The negro who was
killed was named John Johnson. He had
last Thursday afternoon gone out into
the country a few miles from Villa Rica,
where lived one of the best citizens of the
county, Charles Morris, a farmer ad
vanced in years.
THE NEGRO’S CRIME.
The negro awaited his opportunity, and
when Mr. Morris’ daughter was passing
along he grabbed her, and after almost
killing her by choking and beating her,
succeeding in accomplishing bis fiendish
work. The poor lady was left in a most
wretched condition, but as soon as possi
ble told her father what had happened.
The neighbors and citizens of Villa Rica
were notified and an armed posse of men
went to hunt the negro. The woods were
scoured all during Tuesday night, but no
trace of the fiend could be found. Early
yesterday morning the search was re
newed, and about 11 o’clock he was
found. lie was tied and carried
to Villa Rica, when a strong guard was
put over ldm. The gentlemen who made
the arrest intended to take him to Car
rollton to-day for safe-keeping. While
there were many lit the crowd who would
not have hesitated in swinging him to the
first limb thev thought best to let tbe law
take its course. The negro was sullen
and refused to talk, except to a few ne
groes who were allowed to talk to him.
About 7 o’clock last night Johnson made
some excuse to get from near the guards
for a few moments.
THE FIEND SHOT.
When he got off he started to
run, and as he did so someone
fired at him, the whole load of
buckshot taking effect in his head and
killing him instantly. The breath had
scarcely left his body before the negroes
announced a determination to have re
venge or lose their lives‘in the attempt.
Tbe white people determined to die
game if die they must, and at onee
fixed themselves for battle. They warned
the darker element that if once began it,
would result in bloodshed, and they
would not leave enough to bury the rest.
All night long armed white men guarded
the town, fearing that possibly the negroes
might carryout their threats. To-night
all is quiet.

closed with a grand hop at the New
Brighton Casino. At 11 o’clock the Ca
dets embarked for this city, and leave

the Cadets was witnessed by a large
number of the officers of the Fourth Brig
ade, to whom it was a revelation. The
unanimous verdict is that nothing of the
kiud had ever been seen in South Caro
lina. "

THE NEWS OF MACON.
Murdered In Texas—Successful Reunion
of the Fifth Georgia Regiment.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 21.—Letters received
here to-day state that Joseph Dempsey, a
young man aged 22 years, who left Macon
some time ago to seek his fortune out
West, was killed a few days ago by his
cook in Buffalo county, Texas. He was
shot and lived about twelve hours. Demp
sey was employed by a large stock raiser
named Murphy, and had gone to market
to sell cattle, and was returning home
when shot. It is presumed that he was
killed for the money realized from the sale
of stock. The deceased has a sister and
other relatives here. He was a nephew
of Thomas G. Dempsey, a prominent
Catholic of this city, and worth half a
million dollars.
The luneral of Christopher Burke, one
of Macon’s most popular Irishmen and a
leading member of the Catholic Church,

THE FIFTH GEORGIA REUNION.
The reunion of the survivors of the Fifth
Georgia Regiment was held to-day at
Macon. Over forty members were pre
sent, many of them battle-scarred vete
rans, some with limbs gone, lost in the
war. A procession formed this morning
at the Brown House under escort of the
Macon Volunteers and Floyd Rifles and
proceeded to Masonic Hall, where the ex
ercises occurred. Major Ansley, form
erly of Augusta, now of Atlanta, was
chosen Chairman of the meeting, and
A. H. Hightower, of Macon, Secre
tary. Chaplain Lester offered prayer.
Thomas Hardeman delivered a soul
stirring and patriotic address of welcome.
One of the most delightful features of the
reunion was the presentation by Capt.
Young, of the Fifty-sixth New York Regi
ment, to the survivors of tbe Fifth Geor
gia, of a flag captured from the latter by
the former 20 years ago In South Carolina,
in one of the battles of the late
war. Capt. John F. Kiddoo re
ceived the flag on behalf of the Fifth
Georgia. Both gentlemen made splendid
speeches. There floated over the Veter
ans’ procession to-day the bullet-torn flag
presented the Fifth Georgia at the begin
ning of the war by Mrs. John K. Jackson,
of Augusta. It bore on its folds the
names of Santa Rosa, Murfreesboro
and Chickamauga. At the close of
the war the flag was returned to
the keeping of Mrs. Jackson. Last year
at a reunion of the regiment she "pre
sented it to the command. The following
permanent officers for the association

Treasurer. The association adjourned to
meet at Griffin on the second Thursday in
August, 1885. This afternoon the mem
bers of the Fifth Georgia were driven
about the city in carriages.
PUBLIC BUILDING PLANS.
The Treasury Department Says They
Must Conform to the Appropriations.
Washington, Aug. 21.—An interesting
question in regard to the construction of
public buildings was decided at the
Treasury Department to-day. It was in
effect that the supervising architect in
preparing plans and specifications for
such buildings shall be governed entirely
by the amount of money appropriated by
Congress for the purpose without regard
to future expectations. It frequently
happens that Congress is asked to appro
priate a certain sum for a building
which is only intended lor a raise in
starting the building and leaving it in an
unfinished condition so as to require ad
ditional appropriations to complete it.
For instance, where $150,000 or $300,000 is
appropriated for a building the supervis
ing architect is expected to prepare plans
for a building to cost $400,000 and $500,-
000, the idea being that Congress will
each year appropriate sums suf
ficient to continue the work, and
complete the building according to the
plans. In later years, however, Congress
undertoo k to correct this practice by ap
propriating a certain sum for a building
and limiting tbe expenditures to that
amount. This action was subsequently
nullified by appropriations in Congress
above the original limit. The decision of
the department is that while plans
may be prepared on a scale in
excessof the limit fixed by law in ease
of appropriations in excess ol that limit,
they must be confined to the amount of
the appropriations without regard to any
future action of Congress; that is, the
plans must provide for a complete build
ing within the appropriations. It was
said, however, by a prominent official
that plans might be so arranged that in
the event of subsequent appropriations
additional stories might be added to the
building without necessitating a change
of the plan of the ground floor.
ERIE’S AFFAIRS.
John King, Jr., to be Made the Com
pany’s President.
New Y'ork, Aug. 21.—At a meeting of
the Erie Railroad directors to-dav the
committee appointed to confer with John
King, Jr., reported that he had accepted
the position of Assistant President. The
arrangement on which Mr. King bases his
acceptance is that the floating debt,
amounting now to about $4,000,000, is to
be paid up. Tips has been agreed to.
The English share ml bondholders have
agreed, through Messrs. Powell and West
lake, their committee, to undertake to
raise the necessary amount. Mr.
Jewett having peremptorily de
clined re-election, the committee
reported that he should be retained iu a
supervisory capacity, either as Chairman
ol the Board or as the head of the Execu
tive Committee, and it also suggested
that at the annual meeting in November
Mr. King should assume tbe Presidency.
Tliis report was adopted unanimously.
Mr. King was formerly Vice President of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Com
pany, and also for some years Receiver of
the Ohio and Mississippi Railway Com
pany.
SEVEN MEN SUFFOCATED.
Gas Surprises Them in a Pennsylvania
Mine and All Succumb.
Shamokix, I’a., Aug. 21.— There was a
terrible accident at the Burning Buck
Ridge mine to-day, seven men being
smothered by gas. Fire broke out yester
day in the Buck Ridge slope, at a depth of
150 feet from the surface. The company
at once bought the Greenback colliery ad
joining, the workings of which
are higher than those of the Buck Ridge
colliery. The intention was to bore a
hole thirty-six feet in length from the
Greenback to the Buck Ridge collierv
and turn the creek into both"collieries,
and by flooding them put out the fire.
While men were engaged iu this work to
day gas suddenly poured in from the
burning mine, and before they could es
cape seven men fell victims to"its deadly
fumes. It is impossible to reach their
bodies, as both mines are now full of gas
and the fire is increasing. Eleven mules
were also suffocated or burned.
A Counterfeit 810 Bill.
Washington, Aug. 21.—Tbe Secretary
of tbe Secret Service Division is in pos
session ol anew counterfeitslonote. The
note is on the Third National Bank of
Cincinnati, and made its appearance in
that city Monday night. It is of the series
of 1882, with a brown or chocolate-colored
back. The vignettes on the face of the
note have a very coarse, scratchy appear
ance, but tbe back is well executed and
calculated to deceive.
A Boat'* Boiler Explode*.
Memphis, Aug. 21.—The government
launch putney, employed at the govern
ment works here, exploded her boiler this
morning, killing Paymaster N. Godden,
who was blown overboard, and seriously
scalding Engineer A. Graham, Pilot C.
D. Ryan, deck hand Peter Walsh and a
newsboy who was on the launch. God
den’s body has not yet been recovered.
Republican Despair.
Washington, Aug. 21.—The Republi
can squeezing committee does not seem
satisfied with the results of its efforts to
extort money from the poor clerks. It
to-day issued a circular begging Republi
can business men for the love of heaven
to contribute towards the success of the
Republican ticket.
A THIEF M ADE EXECUTOR
TRAPPED IN HIS VILLAINY HE
TAKES TO HIS HEELS.
j Having Exclusive Knowledge of the
Combination to the Safe of the Bank of
uliich he was President; he Keeps it to
Himself and Leaves the Directors In
Such a Quandary as to the Condition of
the Institution's Affairs that They
Close Its Doors.
Albion, N. Y., Aug. 21.—This morning
the following notice was posted upon the
door of the First National Bank of this
village: “Owing to the absence of the
President, the Board of Directors have
closed the bank until an examination can
be had of its affairs.” "When President
Warner left town on Wednesday, Aug.
33, he stated that he was going to St.
Catherines, Ontario, and from there
would proceed to New York. He being
the only person in possession of the com
bination to the lock of the inner vault, the
exact condition of the affairs of the bank
is not known, but no alarm is
felt in regard to the ability of the bank to
pay the depositors. The door to the inner
vault will be drilled to-morrow. A bank
examiner who was here in July reported
the accounts and other matters of the
bank to be all correct. W: .rner was ex
ecutor of the estate of Roswell Burrows,
amounting to several millions. Mr. Bur
rows died in 1879, and the executors have
never filed an inventory or made a state
ment in regard to the affairs of the estate
up to the present time.
CAUSE OF THE FLIGHT.
W. R. Calkins, of Rochester, and later
of Boston, was sometime ago employed by
R. W. Burrows, one of the heirs, as a con
fidential business agent and filed a peti
tion in the Surrogate office of Orleans
county for an action to compel Warner to
file an inventory of the estate. An order
was issued that for purpose, making neces
sary the tiling ou or before Aug. 18, but
Warner not filing the inventory the Sur
rogate Issued au order revoking
the letters testamentary issued to
him. An investigation shows that
Warner has disposed of liis property here
as follows: Real estate to W. A. Parmely
for $2,500, by deed dated July 20; his resi
dence to Alex. Tytler, and certain indebt
edness; two deeds dated Aug. 5, to Geo.
A. Newell for $1,450; a mortgage on a
skating rink and stables to secure a note
of $5,000 to H. H. Warner, of Rochester.
Warner is Secretary of the International
Bridge Company, which owns the sus
pension bridge across the Niagara river.
YOUNG BURROWS POISONED.
Boston, Aug. 21.—A special from Al
bion, N. Y\, to-day, announced that A. S.
Warner, of Albion, had disappeared, and
that the National Bank of which he is
President was, in consequence, obliged to
suspend. This announcement throws the
first light upon a monstrous plot that for
weeks has baffied Boston’s District At
torney, grand jury and her smartest de
tectives. The conspiracy was successful
to this extent. William R. Burrows, one
of the heirs to a $5,000,000 estate
living at No. 338 Beacon street, this city,
was being systematically poisoned until
the diabolical work was discovered just
in time to prolong, but not to save, his
life. He is still alive, but it is a living
death. Suspicions were expressed of
poisoning, and upon an investigation by
a chemist arsenic was found in the
stomach. Tbe patient seemed bet
ter, but on May 7 the bad symptoms
returned. From that time it has
been evident that the young man must
die. The matter was brought to the Dis
trict Attorney’s attention and
laid before the grand jury, but insufficient
evidence caused a postponement of the
case from time to time. Upon these facts
the Journal builds a theory that Warner
was instrumental in caus'ing the poison
to be administered to Burrows, because
the latter had called for au accounting of
Warner’s stewardship as executor of Bur
rows’ father’s estate.
THE NEWS IN NEW YORK.
New York, Aug. 21.—1n relation to
the closing of the Fifth National Bank of
Albion to-day, a Rochester dispatch says:
“It was ascertained that President A. S.
Warner departed front Albion last Wed
nesday; taking with him the combination
of the safe, and that it is likely that his
absence will continue for some time. The
condition of the bank cannot be ascer
tained until a thorough investigation is
made and the safe can be opened. Great
excitement prevails in the village.”
It is learned in this city that early in
1879 Roswell S. Burrows, one of the
wealthiest men in western New York,
died, leaving an estate estimated to be
worth between $5,000,000 to $10,000,000.
The executors were his wife, his son, Wil
liam R, Burrows, his son-in-law fcAlexan
der Stuart, and A. S. Warner, and it is
thought that there has been considerable
crookedness in tbe management of this
estate on the part of Warner, and that
fear of exposure and prosecution caused
him to leave home. Warner since 1879
has had almost sole charge of the estate,
lie has speculated in stocks, and is sup
posed to have lost considerable money in
Wallstreet. Sometime ago efforts were
made to oust him as executor, and a legal
decision effecting this was rendered last
Monday. Nothing is known as to how
much of the estate is left.
A PUBLISHER ASSIGNS.
Schedules in assignment of Charles W.
Green, publisher, were filed to-day. They
show liabilities of $208,823, nominal assets
of $181,473; assets of $3,441. Ihe liabili
ties comprise promissory notes amounting
to $26,051, open accounts $79,046, an 4
promissory notes and drafts indorsed by
the assignor $153,725.
WARS OF THE BREAD WINNERS.
The Striking New York Printers Still
Confident of Success.
New York, Aug. 21.—The printers of
the Commercial Advertiser, who are on a
strike, express confidence in their suc
cess. Bryan Godwin, however, says that
there are as many new non-union men
now in the office as are needed, and that
a reduction to 35 cents, per thousand ems
will be insisted on. It is said that a ma
jority of the new men are from Philadel
phia. It is also stated that the Mail and
Express, which pays only 35 cents, sent
over fifteen of their men to work on the
Commercial Advertiser.
THE BRICKLAYERS.
The President of the Bricklayers’ Union
No. 4 this morning received a request
from a firm of contractors who opposed
the demand for 9 hours, that men be sent
to their building. He was unable to do
so, as men are at work. The strike
will be declared closed next Sat
urday.
IN THE POOLS.
Coal Centre, Ija.,1 j a., Aug. 21.—Warrants
have been issued on the oath of officers
Mcßurney and McClure, of the coal and
iron police, for the arrest of all miners in
the camp at Wood’s run, for conspiracy.
Warrants were also issued lor the arrest
of President Costello and a number of
campers, for refusing to assist an officer
iu tbe discharge of his duty,
and for obstructing the execution of
a legal process. The detectives are swear
ing in assistants to aid in making the ar
rests, and trouble is anticipated. A large
number of Neel’s men have returned to
work, and reports from the third pool
state that the strikers are weakening,
and that at two pits the men have given in.
COSTELLO ARRESTED.
The miners’ camp is demoralized to-night.
The coal and iron police have made ar
rangements to oust all those in the camp
to-morrow morning, and the strikers
hearing of this fled almost to a man. Pres
ident Costello was arrested this evening,
and gave bail for a hearing. The officers
assert that when they attempted to
arrest one of the strikers charged with
conspiracy Costello assumed a hostile at
titude, and said that if they wanted to
precipitate a bloody riot to try it on. ' It
is the general opinion that the arrests
will break up the camp, although Cos
tello says the siege will be continued.
Killed Her Chi dby 111 Treatment.
Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 21.—Mrs.
Linsley was arrested in South Haven,
charged with causing the death of her
little girl, two years old, by brutal treat
ment. The child did not readily respond
•to something the woman wished it to say,
whereupon she threw it into a tub of
water and otherwise ill treated it.causing
its death. Great excitement prevails,
and there is talk ol lynching. The woman
was protected from the infuriated citi
zens by constables with drawn revolvers.
An International Question.
Pittsburg, Aug. 21.—As there was an
international question involved in the
case of fbe Austrian Consul, Scbamberg,
charged with violating a city ordinance
in refusing to take down an Austrian flag
when ordered to do so by Chief of Police
Braun, the hearing which was to have
taken place this afternoon was iuaefinite
i ly postponed.
THIEVES AT THE PUBLIC CRIB.
Stationery Contractors Detected Palm*
Ing off Inferior Goods on the Govern
ment.
Washington, Aug. 21.—At the spring
lettings this year P. H. Kellogg & Cos., of
Springfield, Mass., secured the contract
for furnishing the Post Office Department
with official and registered envelopes for
the current fiscal year. Their bid—sßo,ooo
—was much lower than that of any of
their competitors. The Morgan A Plymp
ton Manufacturing Company, of Hart
ford, Conn., which had the year before
the contract for furnishing the official,
the registered and the stamped
envelopes, got a contract for furnish
ing the stamped envelopes onlv. Several
weeks ago charges were made to the
effect that there were deficiencies in the
stationery furnished tbe Post Office De
partment. The first wa9 on the part of
tbe unsuccessful bidders that P. H. Kel
logg A Cos. were furnishing inferior envel
opes. The envelopes and other supplies
were tested here, the envelopes and paper
being tested with a recently perfected test
ing machine. All the supplies were
found to be equal to the sample except the
official envelopes supplied by P. H. Kel
logg & Cos., and these were found to be far
inferior to the sample.
It was also ascertained that in the last
quarter of the last fiscal year the Morgan
& Plympton Cos., of Hartford, which then
held the contract, had furnished some in
ferior official envelopes, but the sample
furnished the bidders on this year’s con
tract was not taken from this lot. It was
a perfect envelope.
GRESHAM’S VISIT TO HARTFORD.
The recent visit of the Postmaster Gen
eral and his assistants to Hartford and
Springfield was for the purpose of ascer
taining all the facts in regard to the man
ufacture of the envelopes and the conduct
of Stationery Agent Sperry at Hartford.
The Postmaster General found that P. H.
Kellogg & Cos. had purposely and deliber
ately procured interior paper for the man
ufacture of the official envelopes in order
to make a profit out of their low priced
contract. Therefore on his return to-day
lie annulled their contract. He found
that Agent Sperry had been guilty of neg
ligence. He is not only a transfer agent,
but an inspector, and is re
sponsible for the character of the
goods he forwards to the depart
ment. He has been formally censured
for his negligence. The Postmaster Gen
eral has not determined whether he will
take any further action iu Sperry’s case
or not. He does not seem to be guilty of
collusion with the faulty contractor, and,
therefore, will probably be allowed to re
tain his position. His reprimand will
probably 6pur him to renewed zeal. Some
removals are looked for in the department
here in consequence of this investigation.
THE MEDICAL CONGRESS.
Many Valuable Paper* Read and the
Meeting a Success in Every Way.
Philadelphia. Aug. 21.—A special
cable dispatch from Copenhagen states
that the International Medical Congress,
which has just adjourned, is pronounced
on all sides to have been a marked suc
cess. Sir William {Gull, on behalf of the
collective investigation committee
of the British Medical Asso
ciation, delivered an admirable
address on international collective in
vestigation of disease, and moved the ap
pointment of an international committee
to undertake collectively the prosecution
oi pathological research. A resolution
was adopted and Drs. A. Jacobi, of New
York, and N. S. Davis, of Chicago, were
appointed as the American representa
tives on the committee. Prof. R. Vir
chow, of Berlin, gave an address on mato
plusia, which was in every respect wor
thy of its distinguished author. Prof.
Panum, of Copenhagen, also gave an ad
dress on investigations of food rations for
men in states of health and disease.
Upon the conclusion of the programme
Dr. John S. Billings, of the United States
army, Prof. Carl G. Rossander, of Stock
holm, Sir llisdon Uenuet, of London, and
Prof. \ ircohw, of Berlin, in brief speeches,
presented in behalf of the foreign mem
bers their best thanks for the cordial
hospitality with which they had been
received, and congratulations on the
successful termination of the session.
Prof. Panum thanked the members ior
their attendance at the congress and
declared the session adjourned. The
social features of the congr ss
were marked. The Corporation of Copen
hagen gave a grand banquet to
the 1,200 and members of the congress,
and upon its conclusion the guests were
conveyed in boats to Tivoli to view an il
lumination and fireworks, which was a
superb sight, and gathered fully 30.000
persons to witness it. The King of Den
mark also entertained the members in the
evening at a reception iu the Palace, at
which all the members of the Royal
family were present. After a handsome
collation had been served the King offered
a toast to the health of the foreign mem
bers, to which Sir William Gull respond
ed. On the evening of the day of the ad
journment a farewell festival was given
to the members and the ladies accom
panying them. The congress, before ad
journing, decided, with considerable en
thusiasm, to bold its next session in
Washington in 1885.
THE MUTILATED CORPSES.
An Abstract of tbe Official Explanation
on the Subject.
New Y'ork, Aug. 21.—Dr.Nagle, Reg
istrar of the Bureau of Vital Statistics,
to-day received from the Navy Depart
ment at Washington a certified copy of
Lieut. Greely’s report on the execution of
Private Henry. On authority of this re
port the record in the bureau was changed
to react instead of “starvation,” which
was assigned as the cause of death, “Shot
by order of Lieut. Ureely.” With this
the official interest of the Registrar in
the matter ceases.
THE MUTILATION OF THE BODIES.
The Secretary of the Navy and the Sec
retary of War having been in consultation
to-day at the navy yard at Brooklyn with
(Jonimander Schley concerning theGreely
relief expedition, from them the following
reliable statement relative to the recent
reports of the treatment of the bodies of
tbe dead of the Greely Polar expedition is
derived. From the revelations made by
exhuming some of the bodies inferences
have been drawn that incisions had been
made in all the bodies, and that por
tions of the flesh had been used
either for food or for bait for catching
shrimps. Tbe following authentic ex
tract from Uommander Schley’s report,
now being prepared for the Secretary of
the Navy, shows a portion of the remains
to have been so treated, but that those of
Lieut. Lockwood, Sergt. Israel, Sergt.
Lynn, Private Schneider, Sergt. Cross
and Esquimaux Christiansen were ab
solutelyj whole and untouched; “In
preparing the bodies ot the dead for
tran q>ortati<>n, in alcohol, to St. John, it
was found that the bodies of six of them—
Lieut. Kislingbury, Sergt. Jewett, Private
Whistler, Private Henry, Private Ellis
and Sergt. Ralston—had been cut and the
fleshy part removed to a greater or lees
extent. All the other bodies were intact.”
A Train Run I)oun.

loaded cars, left there this morning.
While nearing its destination—Kankakee
—and while crossing the Illinois Central
track, the fourth coach was run into by a
train on tne latter road. James Penn
was killed and about a dozen passengers
more or less seriously hurt. Two or three
will probably die. The engineer ol the
Illinois Central train claims that his
brake would not work.

Topeka. Ks., Aug. 21.—The Demo
cratic State Convention reassembled this
morning, but up to noon had done noth
ing but routine business, and receive the
reports of business committees, etc.
Col. A. S. Everest, of Atchison, was
made Permanent Chairman of the con
vention, and H. Miles Moore, of Leaven
worth, Secretary. Col. Everest, on taking
the chair, made quite a long speech, in
which he denounced the Republican par
ty. He took strong grounds against pro
hibition, and made au earnest appeal for
a reßubmissiou to the people of the pro
hibitory amendment. The Committee on
Resolutions then reported the platform,
which indorses the resolutions of
the Chicago Convention and the
candidates named by that body;
commends the administration "of
Gov. Gleck as wise and pure, and names
a number of marked advantages to the
people of the State obtained by it. It de
clares that all public lands of the United
States should be opened to actual settle
ment, and therefore favors the opening to
settlers of all such lands in the Indian
Territory; denounces the arrest and re
moval of actual settlers from such lands
by the United States troops, and declares
that the refusal by the United States Gov
ernment to permit the question relat
ing to titles to lands in the so
called Indian Territory to be decided by
the United States Courts to be an outrage
upon the rights of all citizens, and a cow
ardly evasion of a direct call to answer a
question of vital importance to such citi
zens, and oppose the importation of for
eign pauper labor under contract, to com
pete with our citizens, and otipose con
vict labor as being in opposition to the
free labor of our country.
RAKING PROHIBITION.
On the subject of prohibition the reso
lutions say that constitutional prohibition
has been fruitful of discord, perjury and
discrimination. It has not lessened the
evils o( intemperance, but rather de
stroyed the pure fireside influences which
must ever be the loving power to control
tbe appetites of the weak and wayward;
that it has never been indorsed and ac
quiesced in by a majority of our people;
that it is an assault upon the personal
liberty of citizens; that it has destroyed
and literally confiscated private property
without any compensation, and that it is
not in harmony with the spirit of a free
people to dictate to an individual what he
shall eat, drink or wear, or what religion,
if any, he shall profess.
In' view of the foregoing
and other reforms, we demand a resub
mission of the prohibitory amendment,
and pledge ourselves to work incessantly
for this object. We demand the repeal of
the present obnoxious and unjust law for
the enforcement of prohibition, and in its
stead recommend a well regulated license
system, rigidly enforced, whereby the in
terests of temperance may be promoted
and the liberty of the citizens be restored,
and we reiterate the views of our
candidate for President in his
letter of acceptance that laws unneces
sarily interfering with the habits and
customs of any of our people which are
not offensive to the moral sentiments of
the civilized world, and which are con
sistent with good citizenship and the
public welfare, are unwise and vexatious.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. A committee of seven was then
apppointed to confer with the committee
appointed last night by the Itesubmission
Convention.
KANSAS’ HOT FIGHT.
Tlie Resubmlssionists Handle the Pro
hibitionists Without Gloves.
Topeka, Kan., Aug. 21.—The Resub
mission Convention reassembled la9t
evening and made the temporary organi
zation permanent. The Committee on
Resolutions submitted a long platform,
the substance of which is as follows:
A majority of the Republican party of Kan
sas have determined to coalesce with and
adopt the dogmas or the Prohibition party,
and that in pursuing this course it has de
parted from the true faith of Republicanism.
We have repeatedly protested against this
suicidal course, and in a spirit of conciliation
and concord have appealed to them in the
light of previous experience to consult again
the will of the people on the oucstion
of prohibition. That request was contemptu
ously refused, and our warnings have been
answered by sneers and opprobrious epithets.
Now, in the name of the National Republican
party of this country, we arraign this Pro
hibition majority faction of this State as un
true to Republican principles and an enemy
to Republican success. We arraign it as au
organization that is plotting and conspiring
all over the country to defeat the Republican
ticket. In Kansas they remain nominally
with the Republican party solely because that
party can be used to carry their pet hobby.
Such being the case, and declining to accept
their doctrines, we prefer them as declared
enemies rather than treacherous friends. We
condemn the cowardice and hypocricy of
these Republican leaders who have permitted
this foreign and false issue to be thrust upon
the party in this State. On their heads shall
rest the grave responsibility. We indorse the
platform of the national Republican party,
and pledge our unqualified support to its
nominees— James G. Blaine aud John A.
Lngan. Wer especially indorse the action of
the National Convention, through its Com
mittee on Resolutions, in rejecting the abomi
nable doctrine of prohibition, and we hold
that the action of said convention upon that,
as upon all other questions, constitutes the
controlling rule of action for all true Repub
licans throughout the country, and that while
supporting Blaine and Logan we cannot con
sistently support the odious doctrine which
was expressly rejected by the convention
which placed them in nomination.
MICHIGAN’S RIVAL. LINES.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 21.— The
