IN JAIL FOR MURDER.
••Wash” Bennett Captured in Effing
ham County and Held for a Murder
Committed In 1879.
Sheriff Taylor, of Effingham county,
was sitting in a store at station No. 1, on
the Central Railroad, yesterday morning,
when two negroes entered, one of whom
he recognized from descriptions as the in*
•il vidual that the authorities of South Car
ol 'ua had been looking lor since 1879, and
w jj o mhe had been trying to arrest since
the ea T, J' part of last June. While they
were 'en ‘dged with the storekeeper, the
Sheriff too a position near the door, and
its thev wei s ahout to go out he said to
one of them- “Wash Bennett. 1 want to
speak to you.” Dennett stopped short,
when he was info r ® that he was under
arrest, and that he would probably have
to to to jail. The jTissner signified his
willingness to go, and the oflicer to
accompany him to the turpentine farm
where he Was employed, about % miie
away, 60 that he might get his clothes.
Upon arriving at the farm .he sent word
to his wife that he was under arrest, and
that If he did not return homd not to
worry about him as he was all right, and
if he was not all right, it didn’t matter
much as he didn’t care whether the au
thorities had found anything against him
or not. . ~
On the way to Savannah he was told
that he might have to go to Camden, S. C.,
when he remarked that he was horn and
reared in Camden, and had a good many
friends there.
The prisoner was securely handeufted,
and on his arrival in the city was at once
taken to the jail, with quite a crowd of
negroes following from the depot.
B -nnett is rejiorted to have killed a
white man named Johnson at Camden in
1879.
immediately after the murder he left

black negro, and is about 5 feet 10 inches
in height, and very muscular. His face
bears a desperate expression, and he
seemed to be wholly indifferent of his ar
rest.
Early last June Sheriff’Taylor arrested
in Effingham county an ugly and despe
rate iiigro named Glen Nash, on the
charge of larceny from the'house. On the
way to jail Nash inadvertently made a
remark which led Mr. Taylor to believe
that Bennett was the principal in the

OHIO’S RIOTING MINERS.
1,000 SHOTS FIRED IN THE BAT
TLE BEFORE DAWN.
One Guard Rilled and a Few Wounded
—The Casualties Among the Strikers
Not Serious—Gov- Hoadly on the
Ground Trying to Preserve Peace —
Many Troops Under Arms.
Columbus, 0., Sept. I.— Sheriff Mc-
Carty, of Hocking county, before day
light this morning sent a telegram asking
for troops. The Governor arrived at mid
night and the Columbus Battalion of the
Fourteenth Regiment was called to its
headquarters. Gov. Hoadly, on arriving
at his office at midnight, received the fol
lowing:
Logan. 0., Sept. 1,1884.
To (leorge IJoadly, Governor :
Ail mean* in my power are enrtlfely ex
hausted to repre-s disorder and to protect life
and pro;ierty. The strikers are cutting all
telegraph wires. lam worn out. Have been
going day and night for two months. X J lease
send militia immediately and save further
bloodshed. Jail is threatened.
[Signed] J. McCarty,
Sheriff of Hocking County.
The Governor at once ordered out all of
the Fourteenth Regiment, Duffy and the
Governor’s Guards, the Lancaster, Cir
cleville and New Lexington companies,
and replied to Sheriff McCarty that
troops were on the way. and asking if
more were needed. The Lancaster com
pany, being only 20 miles from Logan,
was sent to that place to guard the jail.
One of the leaders in the riot at Snake
Hollow last night, and the one believed to
have killed O’Hara, was arrested and
taken to the jail at Logan.
At 1:30 o’clock this morning Sheriff Mc-
Carty. of Hocking county, telegraphed
lrom Logan that he had live points in his
county where the riot was beyond his
control, and that he was unable to get at
them so as to give any definite informa
tion as to what was being done. The
Governor replied that 350 troops were on
the way, and more wore uuder marching
orders if needed.
THE BEGINNING OF HOSTILITIES.
At midnight Saturday night 300 or 400
masked men, heavily armed, appeared at
Snake Hollow for the purpose of seeking
revenge for many insults thrust upon
them since the strike began. Their ap
pearance was the signal for firing front
the guards, which was piomptly and
vigorously replied to by the attacking
party of miners. The firing was very
brisk for a few minutes, and when the
smoke cleared away it was lound that
O’Hara, from Logan, who was acting
as Captain of the Smoke Hollow
Guards, was lying dead, with sev
eral bullet holes in his body.
Two other Guards had received slight
flesh wounds. It was not known whether
any of the miners were wounded, but none
were left on the field. It was said that
the attacking party had ropes with which
to hang the “black legs” who had been
repeatedly warned to desist from working,
and that they had actually placed ropes
around the necks of two men. This morn
ing David Woody, a miner living at Nel
sonville, was arrested, charged with com
plicity in Saturday night’s attack, and
was sent to Logan in a special car and
placed in jail.
IN THE OHIO CENTRAL REGION.
The miners in the Ohio central region,
along Sunday creek, went out to-day on
the pretext of not getting the September
advance. It is expected that they will
join the Hocking valley strike, being ad
jacent to that region.
THE WORST BELIEVED TO BE OVER.
Judge Treasner, of Logan, who is in
consultation with Gov. Hoadly, thinks
that the worst of the trouble in the valley
is over. The Governor considers the
Judge’s opinion to bo of considerable
force. The Governor left Logan at 9:30
o’clock for a trip, to the principal mining
towns, accompanied bv Sheriff McCarty
and several others. Before leaving he tele
graphed to all points that he wanted to
meet prominent miners and hear their
side of the story. At all stations a large
number of miners were out to meet the
train,and atNew Strattsviile aboutsoohad
congregated. Considerable interest pre
vailed and the Governor began holding
private consultations with representative
miners. The President of the district
and others who were questioned deny
stoutly that there is any necessity lor mili
tia at New Strattsviile and claim to know
nothing about the burning ol the hoppers
at mine N0.7,a short distance from there.
They have a theory that the guards be
came dissatisfied with the wages they
were getting and set fire to the hoppers
themselves. The Governor tells them
that he doesn’t want to he forced to order
military on the ground, and is ex
acting promises that the miners
will do all in their power to aid
the civil authorities. If he should con
clude, however, after visiting all points
that military is required he says that he
will have to give orders to that effect. A
team was brought out at New Strattsviile
to convey the Governor and a few others
to the mine where the hopper was burnt,
and just as it started three cheers were
proposed tor tba Governor.
THE MINERS DISTRUSTFUL.
The cheers in response were very weak
and without enthusiasm. Some of the
miners are very glum and say that this
trip is only fl political scheme. Several
of them on being interviewed said that
there was no politics in the situation, and
that the topic is scarcely mentioned in
the valley. The Governor expects to visit
other points and reach Columbus this
evening.
HOADLY RETURNS TO COLUMBUS.
(sov. Hoadly and the others who
have been making an inspection
of the mining situation in the
Hocking Valley to-day, returned here to
night. The Governor says that the situa
tion is perplexing and of a threatening
character. He thinks that, with the men
in their present temper, it will be some
time before the struggle is over, unless
the operators should determine to make
some concessions. He made a personal
visit to the mines with a hope that the
situation would prove to be such that
there would be no necessity for sending
troops. In this, however, he jvas disap
pointed. At 5 o’clock this evening be
honored the requisition of the Sheriff for
troops, and sent three companies to the
most critical points, they being Lonc
stretb, Snake Hollow and Sand Run. On
the way to Coiumbus, the Governor had a
request for two more companies at Long
b treih, two at Murray City, and two to
oti ard the property of the Hocking Valley
Ro'au and iU bridge in the valley. He.
however* refused to send troops to
ni"ht but ordered several companies
to lie in readiness to go to-morrow after
noon should they be needed. At the two
li’ter places named they feared an attack
♦o n'gilt When the Governor left Logan
for his trip to the mines he telegraphed to
a°l points that he wished to consult with
the leading miners.
ROYAL RECEPTIONS.
At some of the p'aces, on the arrival of
the train, there were its many as 500 iu.?
miners who bad gathered to hear w hat
he had to sav. At Nelsonville there
were between 000 and 700 men present,
with carriages and a band, to escort
the Governor to the_ public square
for the purpose of having him make a
speech. Thev had appointed a committee
earlier in the day to ask a number of
questions, as the Governor proposed, and
they made it ouite interesting. The ap
peal of the Governor for the observance
of order and the importance of their doing
their part in this regard was well re
ceived. It was at this point, however,
that the Governor ordered troops to the
points named, and the miners were not
very well pleased at this move, as they
bad supposed that the Governor would

GOV. HOADLY ON THE SCENE.
Logan, 0., Sept. 1.-Gov. Hoadly ar
rived here early Sunday morning, and
was met by Sheriff McCarty at the depot.
Everything was quiet, and holding a
short interview, Doth retired with the un
derstanding that they would meet at l
o’clock to talk over the situation. Sheriff
McCarty told the Governor that he ex
pected further trouble, and wanted men
on the ground, though he had heard of
no depredations on Saturday night further
than some shooting and the cutting of
wires between this point and Longstreet.
The Governor pressed his queatiops close
ly, and told the Sheriff that he
had nine companies of militia in
waiting but that they would not be or
dered to move until Monday afternoon. In
the meantime he would go down among
the strikers and endeavor to hold a con
sultation with the leaders. The company
at Lancaster has arrived and was placed

on duty at the jail. Someone told Gov.
Hoadly early in the evening that the
trouble was, in a great degree, political,
and be concluded not to order troops to
move till he had investigated matters per
sonally.
ALL QUIET BY DAY.
Everything was quiet in the valley this
morning at 10 o’clock. There was no au
thentic report of damage to persons or
property last night. There was a rumor
this morning that 15 men had been killed
at Beuchtel, but it lacked confirmation
and it was thought that there was prob
ably nothing in the report. Telegraphic
communication was in good shape this
morning, and it was learned that there
was continued firing early last night be
tween the strikers and guards at Sandy
Run and Longstreet. Gov. Hoadly
is furnished with a special train by the
railroad company and is accompanied
by his private Secretary and a represen
tative of the Associated Press. Gov.
Hoadly held a consultation with leading
citizens of Logan this morning, among
them being Judge Friesner, Col. Seth
W elby, the Sheriff and others. Waddy,
who was arrested and placed in jail here
for participating in the riot of Saturday
night and for shooting Wm. O’Hara, one of
the guards, made a full confession this
morning, in which he gave the names ot
five or six of the leaders of the attack of
Saturday night. Sheriff'McCarty will not
make public the names of those named
until the suspected persons have been ar
rested.
the situation reviewed.
Cincinnati, Sept. 1.1 p. m.— The situ
ation in tba Hocking Valley Is most dan
gerous if the miners once organize for
offensive measures. Perhaps 19,000 men
are idle, and have been so for months, be
cause of the disagreement lietween them
and the mine owners about the price to
be paid lor mining. The owners have
adoDted a plan of employing
miners from elsewhere, Italians and
others, willing to accept lower rates,
and also of using machinery
where practicable. Thus these men in
idleness, with families dependent, see their
places to-day filled by foreigners, and the
last hope of employment at any price
cut off. The introduction of “blacklegs,”
as the men are called who work at lower
rates than the miners claim is just, has
been attended with some disturbance.
The mine owners have been compelled to
hire guards to protect the men from vio
lence, and “blacklegs” have been virtu
ally imprisoned in the mines. There has
been talk that the miners would concen
trate and drive the “blacklegs” from the
mines. The work of Saturday night was
the first indication ol the carrying out of
such a purpose.
SUNDAY MORNING’S ATTACK.
A fuller account of that disturbance
says that it culminated at 1:30 o’clock
Sunday morning by an attack of armed
strikers, variously estimated at from 75 to
100, resulting in the Instant killing of one
guard and the wounding of two others.
It is known that quite a number of the at
tacking party were shot, but it is impos
sible to find out their number. Until re
cently Snake Hollow has been guarded by
35 Pinkerton guards, but a few days ago
they were transferred to other points and
their places tilled by guards from
Logan and that neighborhood, 22 in num
ber, armed with breechloading shot guns
and a brace of revolvers apiece. At the
time of the attack btit 7 guards were on
duty. They gave the alarm and opened
fire. The rest of the guards rallied, and
for ten minutes a continuous fire was kept
up. More than 1,000 shots were ex
changed, and the strikers were at last
driven back. William O’Hara, of Logan,
an old veteran of the late war, was doing
guard duty at the time. The strikers no
doubt knew his position, as he was taken
by surprise.
BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERED.
lie was heard to say: “For God’s sake,
gentlemen, have mercy,” and was in
stantly i hot dead, more’ than forty buck
shot entering his body and literally tear
ing away his shoulders. He was an in
dustrious man, much esteemed and well
known in Logan. He leaves a wife.
Jacob Lift, an ex-police officer ol' Logan,
was shot through the calf of the leg. but
not dangerously wounded.
Adam Bauer, a German, and unmar
ried, aged 25 years, was shot in the head
by buckshot,* receiving a scalp wound
which is not dangerous.
Barney Donnelly and Albert Riggs
were asleep in a barn
just out9ide of the picket line.
The barn was surrounded by strikers
and all three captured. Donnelly wae
knocked down and badly beaten, but the
others escaped. Donnelly said that there
were about seventy-five in the party, all
masked. Some had their faces blacked,
others had handkerchiefs tied over their
faces, and all were armed with shot guns,
pistols and rifles. He says that while
with them one was shot down and fell in
the arms of another and was carried off.
He thinks that several were badly wound
ed. From Donnelly’s statement it ap
pears that a second attack was to be
made. He says: “After being captured
I was taken out on the road a distance of
a quarter of a mile, where reinforcements
were expected. The man who appeared
to he the leader said: ‘Boys it’s no use to
fight, our reinforcements have backed
out.’ ”
The operators say that the object of the
attack was to intimidate the new men
and run them off.
A dispatch from Gore, 0„ reports the
excitement in that region unabated, and
tbat there are rutnors of more outbreaks
having occurred last night, of which no
particulars are obtained. Three non
union men went to work this morning,
but threats of violence against them are
erowiug more and more open. Gov.
Hoadley’s movements are not definitely
known, except that he has left Logan, and
it is thought that he is making a personal
appeal to the strikers.
THE AVAR IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Hungarituin to Take tlie Places of the
Strikers iu Neal’s Mines.
Coal Centre, Pa., Sept. I.—' The Sheriff
did not call at the miners’ camp to-day,
consequently the strikers are still on the
ground and as determined as ever. Neal’s
mines were not visited and the officers on
guard had a quiet time. Call was made
at the Empire works, but the non-union
ists, after a peaceful consultation,declined
to come out. The event of to-day was the
arrival at Courtney of a number of
Hungarians for the purpose of going to
work at the Garfield mines. No Hungar
ians have heretofore been employed in the
district, and their advent at this time is
regarded with concern. A catnp will be
established at Courtney to-morrow to pre
vent them from going to work. The ope
rators say that it the strike continues
much longer Hungarians will be intro
duced in all the mines.

runners after a physician. Drs. Parks and
Gray soon responded, and had the unfor

driveu to uis home on Foundry Hill,
where it was decided to amputate the
wounded limbs. Owing to the condition
of his pulse, the physicians thought best
to deiay the operation for a Jittle while,
hoping that the patient would be better

20,000 TURNOUT WITH BANNERS
AND FLOATS IN NEW YORK.
Bergh Fearful Lest Butchers Should
Add a Little Public Butchery to Their
Holiday—The Demonstration to le
Made Every Year Hereafter—The Line
of March Alive with Spectators.
New York, Sept. I.—Before ~9 o’clock
this morning both sides of Broadway,
from the City Hall to Fourteenth street,
Union square and Fifth avenue, from
Seventeenth to Twenty-fifth streets, were
thronged with a dense mass of men,
women and children, who had assembled
to witness the labor parade, and before
that hour bodies of men, preceded by
bands of music, were marching from all
quarters of the city toward the vicinity
ofCanal and Elm streets, where the pro
cession was to form. At 10 o’clock the
order to march was given, and Typo
graphical Union No. 6, which was given
the right of MuHine, wheeled Into Centre
street and marched down toward Park
Row. Following them were the building
trades unions, commanded by Marshal J.
John Kenny.
The second division was made up of
cigar-makers, and workmen from the fur
niture and clothing trades.
Ihe third division comprised butchers,
coopers and other trades-unions.
The fourth division was made up of a
number of workingmen not attached to
any organization who had asked permis
sion to join the procession.
For weeks the various trades unions
had been making untiring efforts to make
the parade a success, and their labor was
not wasted. It was anticipated that 20,-
000 men would form, and this number was
fully reached, If not exceeded. The day
was bright and clear, and both those who
paraded and the thousands of spectators
weredresßtd in holiday attire.
SYMBOLS OF THE TRADES
Each body of men in the procession
wore some distinctive badge, cap, apron or
symbol of their trade to give it uniformity.
Typographical Union No. 6 had objected
to public parades, but turned out to the
number of 2,000. They were divided into
“chapels,” representing the Herald , Sun,
Times, \Vnrld, Mon, inc/ Journal, Truth,
Sunday Mercury John Swinton’s Paper,
Munroe’s printing house, and several job
printing offices. The German Typographi
cal Union No.- 7 and Brooklyn Union No,
98 also turned out. On one of their floats
was a printing press, said to have been
used by Benjamin Franklin. Alongside
of it was a Gordon press presenting a
striking contrast to its humble pre
decessor. A number of men were
on wagons busily engaged setting
type. Among them was old Harry
Davis, whose striking resemblance to
Horace Greeley called out repeated cheers
along the route, There were also in line
delegations of printers from Albany, Phil
adelphia, Newark, New Haven, Hartford
and Jersey City. Several -other trades
unions gave illustrations of their work on
wagons in the procession. The cigar
makers rolled cigars, the clothiers cut,
basted and sewed garments, the box
makers sawed and hammered and put
boxes together, and shoe-makers made
shoes.
HOW BERGH WAS STIRRED UP.
It was reported that the butchers in
tended to illustrate their trade by killing
oattle as they went through the streets.
This report reached Henry Bergh’s ears,
and greatly excited him. He went to po
lice headquarters this morning, and four
stalwart policemen were detailed to as
sist him in preventing the shocking spec
tacle. ,
When they reached the rendezvous,
however, they found that it was not in
tended to slaughter anv cattle. The butch
ers turned out about 1,000 strong, and
presented a neat appearance in striped
junipers and close-fitting caps. AVendell
Phillips Union No. 2, composed of colored
men, had over 400 in line. They
were frequently applauded. The brick
layers numbered over 1,000. Banners
with various inscriptions were carried by
several organizations. Among them were
banners on which were inscribed the
names of firms and corporations the trades
unions have boycotted, and others bear
ing mottoes such as : “Injury to one con
cerns All,” “Times have changed;” “By
organization we obtain our rights,” “The
right to live carries with it ihe right to
earn an honest livelihood,” “By agitation
we organize.”
THE LINE OF MARCH.
The procession on reaching Park Row
marched through Main street to Broad
way to Union square, through Seven
teenth street to Fifth avenue to Twenty
fifth street, where it dispersed,. At Union
square it was reviewed by Patrick Ford,
Henry George, Alexander Jonas, John
Swinton, Louis F. Post, P. J. McGuire,
Dr. A. Dorai. Dr. Steibling, Victor Drury,
and others. After the procession bad been
dismissed the men finished their holiday
at the Empire Coliseum and Washington
Park, where there was dancing, athletic
contests for prizes and other amusements.
This evening a number of speakers de
livered speeches. The demonstration
avoided the assumption ot anything of a
political character. It is intended to make
Sept. 1 of each year the workingman’s
holiday and to celebrate it by a similar
parade.
A RAILROAD’S COMPLETION.
The Western North Carolina Announced
Completed.
Raleigh, N. C., Sept. L— Col. A. B.
Andrews, President of the AVestern North
Carolina Railroad Company, to-day offi
cially notified the State Commissioners
that the road was completed to the mouth
of the Nantahala river, and also that the
company bad made the last deposit of
$30,000 in North Carolina State bonds, as
required by the act of 1883, thus fully car
rying out their contract with the State.
The Commissioners will make their offi
cial examination of the last section of the
road on Sept. 12, when there will be a
grand demonstration at Charleston,
Swain county, in honor of this great
work of internal improvement. The work
will be continued from the present termi
nus on branches toward Murphy, N. C.,
and Tennessee and Georgia. There is a
universal feeling of satislaction in this
.State over the results of the sale of the
railroad, its completion insuring the de
velopment of the extreme western coun
ties of the state.

ka. AVhen his accounts were audited at the
end of his term it was found that $14,000
had been expended by him for w hich no
satisfactory vouchers could be produced.
He explains that in the winter of 1862-3
the Indians had been so restless that he
bad felt constrained to buy large quanti
ties of presents for them from local tra
ders. Upon these representations SB,OOO
of the $14,000 was allowed. Recently
Rogers was so impudent as to
apply for the remaining $6,000.
The Indian Office 6ent a man to the old
agent who quietly investigated the mat
ter. He found the men whose names were
given in the vouchers, but learned that
they were never post traders or traders of
any other sort, but always herdsmen and
teamsters at the agency. Not only does
Rogers lose the $6,000 which he w'anted
but he will also probably be prosecuted
to recover the SB,OOO which he originally
obtained on the fraudulent vouchers.

COTTON’S GROWTH IN AUGUST.
The Showing Made by the National
Cotton Exchange Rather Gloomy.
New Orleans, Sept. I.—Following is
the National Cotton Exchange report of
the growing crop for August, 1884:
The month of August has proven unfavor
able for the cotton crop and the condition hss
deteriorated, it being now 80 as against 87 for
July; 85 for June, and 81 for May. In the last
report it was said in the Atlantic states,
Alabama and parts of Missis
sippi the crop has grown rapidly,
and is very sappy and exposed to loss of fruit
from a hot and drv spell. This fear has been
realized, and in South Carolina. Georgia, Al
abama ami Mississippi the loss from shedding
and rust nas been serious, causing a decline
in condition west of Mississippi. Contin
ued drought in Texas has further injured the
crop of that State, bringing its condition down
quite low, while Louisiana nr.d Arkansas now
need rain, though the damage has not
yet proved very serious. These
two latter States. with Tennessee,
rank the highest. Our meteorological table
shows a lower range of the thermometer than
last year, but rising to excessive figures last
week. The rainfall lias fallen below the
small figures of last season. The growth of
the plant has. on the whole, been pretty good
over most of the belt excepting Texas, of
course, and the fruitage fair, hut this lias been
offset by shedding. The plant is still back
ward from two to three weeks, and the crop,
therefore, exposed to vicissitudes from an
early or even average frost. Worms have done
scarcely any damage, l’icking will become
general from Sent. 10 to 15, and later in the
northern part of the belt.
GEORGIA’S REPORT.
The report also says:
Georgia reports that rains have been few in
that State this month, and the fruit and cot
ton plant not developed. The top crop is not
as good as last year, hut the bottom crop
promises a good average crop, though twenty
days late,
Louisiana reports the acreage about the
same and the prospective yield less than last
year. The crop is late and suffering from
drought.
Mississippi reports the crop generally from
ten to fourteen days late. There has been
some suffering from drought in Yazoo county,
injuring cotton on sandy lands.
in south Mississippi the crop is slightly bet
ter than last year, and in the eastern por
tion of the State the acreage is about the same
and the yield unchanged. 8011-worms are re
ported in several counties, but there is not
much fear of their doing any damage.
North Carolina reports drought decreasing
the prospective yield. Cotton is two weeks
late and much smaller than last year. No
worms are reported. Picking will begin gen
erally on Sept. 13. The wheat and corn crops
are larger and generally better than last year.
South Carolina reports the present
condition of the crop better than
last year, but much injured from rust, which
may cut short the yield. Texas reports the
condition generally unfavorable. A drought
of two months has injured the crop, particu
larly in she central portion of the Stato, and
cut it short from one-fifth to a quarter. Kain
now would not materially improve its condi
tion.
In Eastern Texas, around .Jefferson, the
crop is better, and a larger yield is expected
than last year. Bust is reported in several
localities. The grain crop is not much in
jured by drought, having generally matured
before it came.
GREGORY'S GOOD FORTUNE.
His Father Denies Having Been Instru
mental In Securing his Appointment.
Washington, Sept. I.—A press dis
patch from Atlanta, Ga., stated that a
son of Civil Service Commissioner Gregory
has been appointed a .pecial pension
agent and credited to Georgia, when he is
not a bona tide citizen of that State .To a
reporter who exhibited the dispatch to
him Prof. Gregory said: “This son of
mine is in business in Atlanta and has
been for a year or more, having as part
ners a son of the late Senator Hill
and Mr. White. He is, therefore, a
legal resident there. His examina
tion was made in my absence, and he
stood the highest ' upon the list
of applicants from Georgia. I did not
know that he had been examined till I
saw his name in the list, and had nothing
whatever to do with either his nomination
or his appointment. He has not been un
der my care or dependent on me in any
way for live years, but lias been acting as
his own man, and had the same eight to
be examined and seek a place as any
other citizen of the countrv. The Com
missioner of Pensions will' tell you that
he was appointed solely on his merit, and
without any intervention ot mvselt or
any other party.” Prof. Gregory
added that his son wrote to
know if his application would embarrass
him (his lather), and the latter replied
that as the young man was his
own master, he had the same rights as
any other citizen. Commissioner Thomas
said: “Young Gregory was examined
with three others on his order, and during
Commissioner Gregory’s absence, and
that the latter knew nothing about it.”
A BANKER DEFT PENNILESS.
Wallace of Newcastle, Pa., Succumbs to
Continued Hard Lack.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sent. I.—A Newcas
tle, Pa., special says: “Wallace’s Sav
ings Bank closed its doors Saturday and
suspended payment. Some time ago the
bank was in trouble, and it was thought
that it would be compelled to suspend,
but at a meeting of the principal deposi
tors it was decided to give Mr. Wallace a
chance to recover by accepting his notes
for amounts due them payable in three
years, one-third afcjhe expiration of each
year. Since that time he has been doing
a general banking business and was
thought to be all right. The failure last
week of the bank at Jamestown, Dak.,
in which his son Robert was largely in
terested, had a tendency to break the
faith of the public in the bank here. Sat
urday the National Bank of Laurens
county filed a judgment note for SIO,OOO
against Wallace, and as soon as this
transaction became known a rush began
and the bank w T as closed. Tbe exact con
dition of Mr. Wallace’s affairs is not
known, but it is thought that his liabili
ties will reach SIOO,OOO with no assets
worth mentioning. He disposed of near
ly all of his property at the time of the
other trouble. The statement will prob
ably be given to the public soon. It is
generally conceded that Wallace is finan
cially wrecked.
WORRYING OVER INDIANA.
Dudley Bound Not to go to the State
Unless New Gives Way.
Washington, Sept. I.— The appeals
from intelligent Republicans in Indiana
to Commissioner of Pensions Dudley to
come out and try to save the Republican
party from the crushing defeat which
seems imminent became so urger t that
to-day Commissioner Dudley went over to
New Yosk to consult with the Republican
National Committee about it. Mr. Dud
ley is willing to go to the rescue of.the
frightened Republicans of his State if he
is given absolute control of the Republi
can campaign, for he feels sure of
his reward. But he does not propose
to divide either the responsibilities
or the honors ot the canvass with John C.
New, who is the Chairman of the State
Central Committee, and the present
manager of the Republican campaign.
New must give place to Dudley, or
Dudley wffll remain in Washington. Now
this is just what New will not do. He
thinks that he can manage a campaign
quite as well as Dudley, and has no idea
of resigning his place without a struggle.
Meanwhile he is managing the campaign
in a very inefficient way. If he continues
in his present position the Republicans
will certainly be defeated. It seems
probable that he will be allowed to re
main, for he is understood to have Senator
Harrison’s influence as against Dudley.
BROOKLYN HAS A SCARE.
Sick Seamen Reported Down with Yel
low Fever—One Dead.
New York, Sept. I.— The Health Com
missioner of Brooklyn received informa
tion to-day that two seamen were lying
ill in that city and that they appeared to
be suffering from yellow fever. They
were Martin Deever and John Tiedemau,
who arrived in the schooner J. A. Baker
from Georgetown, . C., last week. The
sick men were removed to an hospital
where the doctors were also of the belief
that the cases were yellow fever.
One of the men died this afternoon, and
the police were requested by the health
authorities to place the place from which*
the seamen were removed under quaran
tine. A health inspector, who is familiar
with the malady, made an investigation
of the cases this evening, and was con
vinced that the men were not suffering
from real yellow fever, but asthenia, fol
lowing pernicious intermittent fever.
Another seaman named Rudolph Larsen,
who was also taken ill, was removed to
the Marine Hospital on Staten Island.
HORSFOKD’S ACID PHOSPHATE.
For Alcoholism.
Dr. C. S. Ellis, Wabash, Ind., says: “I

abstained. He thinks the Acid Phosphate
is of much benefit to him.”
POLITICAL PICKPOCKETS.
THE STATE ASSOCIATIONS TO
ROPE IN THE CLERKS.
Judge Lawrence at the Head of the
Movement in the Ohio Brigade—Civil
Service Laws Flung to the Wind* by
These Associations—Dudley and New
Holding Aloof While the Democrats
Pocket Indiana.
Washington, Sept. I.— The Blaine
managers are pushing into activity what
are known here as the State Republican
associations. They are organizing and
increasing the membership of these asso
ciations, which are composed chiefly of
Federal officers and clerks, who are
voters in the several States, The object
and work of these bodies are essentially
political and partisan. This is well illus
trated by the fact that the State associa
tions rarely hold meetings and transact
business except during political cam
paigns. Money is exacted from
those who become members.
This money is used mostly
for campaign purposes in the circulation
of documents and paying the railroad
fare of clerks who cau in this way be in
duced to go home and vote. There can be
no question that the members of these
State associations are violating section 14
of the civil service act, which provides
tbat no officer, clerk or other person in
the service of the United States shall, di
rectly or or hand over to
any other officer, clerk or person in the
service of the United States any monev
or other valuable thing on account of or
to be applied to the promotion of anv po
litical object whatever.
If this section of the law were enforced
it would materially change the character
ol the Republican associations which now
hold weekly meetings in this city.
LAWRENCE’S KNAVERY.
A special meeting of the Ohio Associ
ation was held to-night. It was called by
Judge Lawrence, the President, who Is
First Comptroller of the Treasury. The
call issued by Comptroller Lawrence con
tains the following language:
“Ohioans wishing to avail themselves
of the half-fare railroad rate must apply
for membership at this meeting, as the
New York Railroad Commission have
ordered the rolls closed at that date, after
which no additional names can be added.
This is the very last opportunity.” This
is an ingenious device to increase at this
early date the membership and the funds
of the Ohio association. There is not the
slightest probability that clerks who de
sire to secure half fare rates and who do
not become members of these associations
will be unable hereafter to obtain half fare
tickets. The Blaine managers will see to it
that they will have that opportunity.
Comptroller Lawrence is the leading
spirit in the Ohio association, and his
office in the Treasury is the Blaine
headquarters for the department, and
he expects his clerks to be active
political workers. During the cam
paign four years ago he had Treasury
clerks mailing campaign documents from
the Treasury building. Lawrence will
soon leave for Ohio to take the stump for
Blaine.
SIMPSON INTO THE BREACH,

Editor Chronicle and Telegraph: Neither
Mr. Vankirk’s nor Mr. Patterson’s names ap
pear in the articles of association of the New
castle ami Middlesex Railway Company.
The articles w r ere filed in the office of the Sec
retary of State on July 29, but the issuance of
the charter was withheld pending an attempt
to settle the Newca tic Northern Railway con
troversy. The road will be built from Ma
bouingtown to Middlesex under the charter.
No investor has been asked to risk a dollar
until the road is completed and equipped.
Every dollar in (he Newcastle
Northern Railway is my money, and
the road is in my possession in law and in fact.
The charge of attempted fraud is best an
swered by the fact that the prospectus and
subscription paper both provide that money
shall be paid into the American Loan and
Trust Company, not to be paid out by that
company until the road is completed and
equipped, and no more could pass front the
investors until the work is completed. No
mortgage has been made and no bonds have
t een printed or issued. Only subscriptions
have been asked for in London. If the condi
tions are not. complied with by me, the sub
scriptions fall and 1 lose my investment.

nations.
Jacksonville, Fla.*, Sept. L—The
Democratic Gubernatorial canvassing
party hold meetings all around Jackson
ville this week—at Baldwin to-morrow,
Callahan and Fernandina Wednesday,
St. Augustine Thursday and Green Cove
Friday. Fine and effective work was
done in all directions last week. The out
look is most encouraging.
M. Martin, of Gadsden, a prominent
Republican and United States Surveyor
General of Florida, is dead.
Mr. Bisbee opened the campaign to
night assisted by Mr. Pearson. His in
fluence has decidedly waned during the
past two years, and he has now open op
position among many whites and blacks
who were formerly his supporters. It
was the smallest Republican gathering
held here in many years. There was very
little enthusiasm. Mr. Bisbee violently
denounced ex-Gov. Reed, editor of the
Journal , a Republican paper. Dennis,
representing Walls, was present, blit was
not permitted to speak. The whole affair
was tame and spiritless.
AUSTRIA’S FLAG IN PITTSBURG.
The Federal Authorities Trying to Ap
pease Consul Schamberg.
Pittsburg, Sept. I.—The attempt of
Chief of Police Braun some time ago to
compel the Austro-Hungarian Consul,
Herr Schamberg, stationed in this city,
to take down the Austrian flag, because
he regarded it as a violation of the mu
nicipal ordinance prohibiting obstruc
tions, has been taken cognizance of by the
Austrian Government and the State De
partment of the United States. In a leti
ter k Gov Patfison. Secretary of State
Frelinghuysen requests that the Governor
notify the Mayor of Pittsburg that any
proceedings which may have been insti
tuted by the Chief of Police against
the Consul should be at once dismissed
without any charge to that gentleman,
and at the same time that a courteous and
fitting explanation be made to him. The
Secretary of State says:
American Consuls have precisely the same
rights in Austro-Hungary as are claimed by
Mr. Schamberg in this instance, and I have
no doubt hut you will coincide with me in
the statement 'that international courtesy,
no lees than treaty obligations, demand that
these rights should he respected by all local
authorities in the United States.
Mayor Fulton says that he was absent
when the differences between Consul
Schamberg atid Chief liruan occurred,
and that he will take no action until he
consults his attorney.

Iu many instances physicians in at
tempting to minister to cholera patients
have been brutally maltreated, and in
9ome cases wounded with knives. The
persons making these assaults labor un
der the delusion that the doctors are en
gaged in poisoning people. The desire of
the populace to prevent the spread of the
infection had led them in sop*'' cases to
offer armed opposition to railway traffic.
The bulletin of the ravages of the chol

established about the house.
There were 4 deaths from cholera at

England's Preparations for the Egyp
tian Campaign Still Making.
London, Sept. I.— Work was continued
at Chatham all day Sunday in hastening
preparations for the Soudan expedition.
The British Government has asked the
Earl ot Northbrook, Sigh Commissioner
to Egypt, not to extend his mission
beyond the end of October. His first re
port as High Commissioner is intended to
be in readiness for presentation to Parlia
ment during the winter session. All dis
cussion with the powers in relation to
Egyptian affairs will be suspended in the
interim.
Tbe latest letter received from Gen.
Gordon bears date ot June 15. It says
that Khartoum can hold out till the mid
dle of October.
The authorities are finding much diffi
culty in obtaining the requisite number
of camels for the Soudan expedition. The
Mudir of Dongola reports that he has re
ceived a message from Gen. Gordon to
the effect that Khartoum has only pro
visions enough to last till Nov. 1.
It is reported in Alexandria that a
French company has obtained a conces
sion for building a railway from Daman
hour, about forty miles to the south of
Alexandria, to Dessook, twelve miles

MIN RIVER OPEN TO THE WORLD
Admiral Cpurbet Announces the Com
pletion of His Work.
Paris, Sept. I.—Admiral Courbet an
nounces that, he has completed his oper
ations iu the Min river, and that it is now
sale for merchant vessels to ascend to
Foo Chow.
The merchants ot Hamburg, Germany,
who are engaged in trade with China, have
decided to present a petition to Prince Bis
marck asking him to use his influence
with France to prevent the blockade ot
treaty ports.
A private dispatch from Tein Tsen
says that China is not disheartened in
view of recent occurrences. The gov
ernment has issued an edict encouraging
the troops to fight and warning local au
thorities everywhere to protect non-com
batant Frenchmen.
The rebels made an attack on Suakin
as usual last night. A mine near the
town exploded when the enemy passed
over it and nine of their number were
killed.
A dispatch from Pekin says; “Imperial
edicts and diplomatic circulars recently
issued by the Tsung-li-Yarmen indicate a
spirit of defiance ns a result of the Foo
Chow disaster. Placards are posted in
the streets proclaiming war with France,
but enjoin the people, under severe penal
ties, not to molest citizens of other na
tions.”
Admiral Courbet will receive the deco
ration of the Legion of Honor.
The report that China had formally de
claied war against France is without
foundation. Prime Minister Ferry has
gone to St. Die for a week’s holiday,
which implies that further immediate
complications with China are not likely to
occur.
Admiral Courbet has left the Isle of
Matson and is believed to have gone to
Hainin. Five hundred French troops
have been ordered from Cochin China
to Ke Lung.

She insisted that he should eat them,
when he sprang up from the table, seized
the knife and plunged it into her abdo
men. Without a cry the woman fell to the
floor, when Sewowsky plunged the knife
several times into his own body, inflicting
probably fatal wounds.”

THK POINTS AT ISSUE.
The three points discussed referred to
tobacco, cigars, flour and petroleum, and
the conclusions arrived at were: First, to
favor the introduction in the United States
ot the two first named articles, and if any
preference became necessary it should be
in favor ot cigars; second, the duty on
flour to be such that on its delivery here
the cost of American and Spanish pro
ducts should be the same; lastly, to ad
mit crude petroleum free. By virtue of an
existing treaty between Germany and

has been received here, providing that the
duty on German goods comingdirect from
Germany shall be levied according to tbe
“third column of the tariff.” By this
