GREELY’S BAND DIVIDED.
The Diaries of the Explorers Show In-
Imical Relation* In the Arctic.
Washington, Sept. 2.— The Star this
evening contains the following:
“When an investigation into the Greely ex
pedition is made by Congress all the unfortu
nate particulars concerning it will become
known, and not till then,” said a prominent
official to a Star reporter to-day.
••What do you think will be shown by such
an investigation'-” asked the reporter
••Well, they will bring to light the contents
of the indmdnal diaries of the men, which
will show that there was a great lack of dis
cipline in the party and that Greolv has not
been very consistent iu the reports he has
made, for one thing. Greely had Henry shot
for stea'ing rations, but it will be learned
that the stealing of rations was general.
In one of these diaries there is a memoran^
dum about as follows: ‘Private hasjnst
died from starvation. Dr. Pavy stole anil
ate the last supplies which were gi ven to him ’
Now. mark ray word, it will be found that lots
more of them .dole food. The men who were
detailed to hunt ptamigan are known to have
eaten part of the game killed, and to have hid
i lie remainder in the sn >w. That seems just
as bad to me as stealing what was or. hand.”
CANNIBALISM NOT MENTIONED.
••The men’s diaries make no allu ion to eat
ing humau flesh, do they?” asked the reporter.
’•No.” was ihc replv. “and 1 don’t think
that any official information has lieen re
ceived on that subject, but then Brained!
told the story the verv first thing. A'ou know
he was much stronger than any of the rest
when he came atioard the Bear. Surprise
was expressed at i-, and when he was asked
why it was, he said: -Oh. I could eat the
d—l stuff and digest it, but the others could
not,* When someone of the rescuing party
remarked the absence of Dr. Paw's bodv. and
expressed wonder as to what became of it,
I!cainerd said: ‘He’s all gone. I finished the
last of him just before vou arrived.* I am of
the -trong opinion,” said the official, “that
it will be shown that the expedition was
badly managed at both ends of the
line. Greely left a year's provisions at Camp
Conger, and yet he carried away seven extra
tons of coal, whicn were left in the lauueh
wnen it was abandoned. Seven tons of pro
visions instead would have saved the lives of
the whole party. Greelv’s reputation in the
army. 1 think, is that of a student and a good
fellow, but not of a commauder. He was not
fitted to command a liofly of men and there
was no sign of discipline in his party.
THE TWO FACTIONS.
"When found there were two separate and
distinct camps, as far divided as two tribes of
Indians. I said that Greely wasn’t consist
ent:. He made a report io the Adjutant
General or the killing of Henry, in
which he says that he wrote the order
himself. That wasoa June 6. Aet at another
time lie says he was unable to write after
April 24 lam afraid that it will eventually
appear that Greely is not the hero generally
supposed. An officer is not a hero who simply
does li sduty, but thire are terious doubts l'f
he did that.”
‘•There would not seem to be much chance,
of his being promoted, then?” queried the re
porter.
“Not much,” was the reply. “He was pro
posed f. r the vacancy in the Quartermaster’s
department, but I guess the recommendation
did not go very far, and he will remain, I
fancy, simply a Lieutenant.”
SUCCOR FOB THE DIEGANS.
Commissioner l’rice Sends Food Enough
to Keep Them Alive Till March.
Washington, Sept. 2.— lndian Com
missioner Price ha 9 taken measures for
the immediate relief of the starving Piegan
Indians at the Blackfeet agency In Jlon
tana. The following telegram was sent
to Gov. Crosby, of Alontaua, this morn
ing:
lu reply to your telegram to the Secretary,
I have to inform you that I have ordered ad
ditional supplies to the Blackfeet Agency, and
or. end the agent to make them last til!
March 31 next, by which time I hope that
Congress will have made provision of addi
tional supplies.
H. Price, Commissioner.
The order referred to is as follows:
A jfnt Alien , Blackfeet Agency, Jf-mtana: In
addition to the suppl es mentioned in roy let
ter of July 14 I have ordered shipped V> you
20.000 pound' of bacon, 3,000 pounds of beans,
5.000 iunds of hard bread, 3,000 pounds of
hominy, 6.0.0 pounds of rice, and 2,000 iiounds
of oatmeal, and have directed the contractors
to deliver, in addition, 100,000 pounds of beef
and 75.000 pounds of flour. You can divide
these supplies so as to l:ist till March 31 next.
11. Price, Commissioner.
To save the money necessary for the
purpose of these supplies the Commis
soner has been forced to have recourse to
the provision of the law allowing him to
apply to the relief of distressed Indians
ol one tribe any money that may remain
unexpended of the sum appropriated for
the maintenance of another tribe. Under
this law, it was necessary to secure the
approval of the President before the
money could be so appropriated, and a
letter upon the subject was addressed to
President Arthur last week before the re
ceipt oi Gov. Crosby’s telegram.

SWALLOWS ARSENIC
He Coolly Tell* a Physician What I*
Tugging Dig Life Strings While Life
Leaves His Body—The Cause of the
Act Not Fully Explained.
Atlanta, Sept. 2—At 1:45 o’clock this
afternoon Louis Goetting, who resides
over the confectionery establishment of
Simmons fc Goetting on Peachtree street,
died from the effects of a dose of arsenic
taken with suicidal intent. Goetting was
an old resident of Atlanta, but soon after
the war left this city and went to Charles
ton where he engaged in the wholesale
tobacco trade. About two years ago he
sold out his tobacco business in Charles
ton, and returned to Atlanta, where he has
since resided. He was 60 years of age,
and having accumulated a ‘sufficiency to
meet his wants for a time had tem
porarily retired from business. Ilis
wife is associated in business
with Jier son, H. Simmons, and
together they conduct a prosperous con
fectionery business. The entire family
resides iu a neat suite of rooms on the
third floor above their store. It was here
in a room fronting the street that the sad
death took place. Those who are in a
position to know the causes which induced
Goetting to take his life into his own hands
are not disposed to say anything concern
ing it.
THE PROBABLE CAUSE.
It is the impression, however, that
Goetting was very greatly worried over
being unable to control certain effects to
which he considered himself entitled, and
having received but little encouragement
from an attorney whom he consulted,
grew despondent and ended his life as
stated above, by taking a tablespoonful of
arsenic. He swallowed the fatal drug
last night at 1 o’clock, and did not die
until 1:45 o’clock this afternoon. He did
not respond to the breakfast hell this
morning. A member of the family went
to his room, where he was found still in
bed and very sick. Dr. J. F. Alexander
was called in, and when he arrived asked
Goetting w hat was the matter. Goettiug’s
mind being perfectly clear, he answered:
“I have taken arsenic.”
“When did you take it?”
“About 12 o’clock last night.”
“How much did you take?”
“A tablespooulul.”
“Where did you get it?”
“I brought it with me from Charleston
two years ago. I bought it then to kill
rats with.”
Various antidotes were administered,
but the poison had been taken too long for
medical skill to destroy its effects.
FLORIDA’S METROPOLIS.
The Bisbee-Walls Fight Daily Growing
More Hitter.
Jacksonville, Sept. 2.—At 12 o’clock
last night, after Bisbee and his friends
had spoken,Dennis rose and spoke in favor
of Walls. Two bands, by a preconcerted
arrangement, alternately drowned his
voice, and marched oft' followed by Bis
bee’s friends, leaving the stage in dark
ness. It is regarded as unfair treatment,
and will widen the breach between the
Republican candidates. The Journal , the
Republican organ of the city, contains a.
circular signed bv Eagan, Cheney, Var
num and fifty other prominent Republi
cans denouncing the l’ope-Bisbee coali
tion.

AN INSIDE POINTER.
Republicans Soaping Maine—New York
Sure to Go Democratic.
Washington, Sept. 2.—A member of
the National Democratic Committee who
ha 9 spent the past several weeks at the
campaign headquarters in New York,
passed through this city to-day en route
to hisbome. He said that the Republicans
have more money than they tell about,
but they have been and are using it in
Maine almost entirely, with the view of
rolling up a big majority there next,
week. He said that the Democratic
national managers are not doing
anything at all in Maine. They are leav
ing the tight to the Democrats of that
State. Speaking of the Democratic out
look he said: “We think things look first
rate. We are not booming our ticket. We
don’t waut any booms, not yet at least,
but we are working hard and intend to
keep it up, Tammany will come out for
the ticket, and we will carry New York
and elect Cleveland.”

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1884.
A ROW AT A FUNERAL.
Colored Societies Not Allowed to Par
ticipate in a Pastor’s Burial.
Washington, Sept. 2.— Rev. John H.
Brooks, pastor of the Fifth (colored) Bap
tist Church, of this city, wa9 buried here
to-day, and owing to the refusal of the
family to allow certain organizations ot
the colored people to take part in the
ceremonies, were accompanied with con
siderable disorder. The deceased was a
member of several societies, among others,
the Ancient Order of the Sons and
Daughters of Moses and the Good Samari
tans, but the delegations from these two
organizations, on presenting themselves at
the church in full regalia, were refused
admission with the other mourners, and
kept from entering by police. The re
fusal to admit them created great excite
ment among the thousands of colored
people who thronged about the church
doors on the outside. When the funeral
cortege left the church for the cemetery
the societies which had been barred out
joined the procession, but were refused
admission to the cemetery. The police
kept them back until the burial service
had been performed and the remains de
posited in the vault. Then they rushed
in and proceeded to hold independent
services, but were ordered out of the ceme
tery by policemen.
ALL QUIET IN OHIO.
All the Military Break Banks Except
One Coin puny.
Columbus, 0., Sept. 2.—The situation
at the mines this morning was the most
quiet of any time since the strike began.
No damage to person or property resulted
from the attacks of last night. The Gov
ernor this morning ordered all the militia
companies which were being held for
moving orders to be dismissed for the
present with the exception of Company
K, of Delaware, which was taken to the
vicinity of the mines this afternoon to be
used at different noints on the railroad.
Cincinnati, Sept. 2.—A special from
Gore, 0., says: “Everything is quiet here,
and no attack is anticipated in the day
time. About 100 strikers moved on Bueb
tel last night and fired on the guards.
The fire being promptly returned, the
strikers fled. No casualties are reported
from the tiring. Three hundred militia
reached the vailey last night, and were
placed on duty at Snake Hollow, Sand
town and Longstretch. The strikers re
port seven of their number wounded in
the attack on Longstretch Sunday night,
two of them fatally. Threats having been
made to destroy bridges, patrol trains are
kept running during the night.”
Excitement Subsiding.
Coal Centre, Fa., Sept. 2.—Sheriff
Chambers arrived here last night, and
will remain to see ample protection given
to all who desire to work. As the strikers
have made no attempt to interrupt any
non-unionist on the way to work since
Saturday morning, it is thought that
many will avail themselves of the Sher
iff's presence to return to the mines. No
trouble is anticipated.
Sheriff Chambers called at? the camp
this evening, and notified the strikers that
he would not permit any interference
with men who wanted to work. He as
sured them that as long as they kept
in the limits of the law they would not be
disturbed.
The Hungarians who arrived at Cour
tenay yesterday did not go t* work to

at Courtenay to-morrow, and try to per

hela valley.
BLAINE'S SUIT ANSWERED.
The “Sentinel” Company Shows the
Absurdity of the Complainant’s Alle
gations.
Indianapolis, Sept. 2.—Argument was
heard to-day in the United States District
Court, Judge Woods presiding, on the de
murrer filed by the Sentinel Company to
the complaint of James G. Blaine charg
ing libel. The attorneys for the defense
contended:
First, That the description of Blaine in the
alleged libellous publication was not suffi
ciently specific, aud might have referred to
some other lilainc.
Second. That the publication was in the na
ture fan inquiry.
Third. That the article was not libellous in
itself, and that Blaine, in order to recover,
must sue for social damages.
The attorneys for Blaine replied briefly,
and Judge Woods took the matter under
advisement. It is not known when his
decision will tie given.
VIRGINIA COUPONS.
Judge Hughes Decides that the Tax Re
ceivable Checks Must he Paid.
Richmond, Va., Sept 2.—An important
decision was rendered in the United
States Circuit Court here to-day by Judge
Hughes, who held that in fourteen cases
now before this court covering some $300,-
000 of,tax receivable coupons judgments
must be given requiring those coupons to
be funded, the recent legislative enact
ment being invalid to prevent funding.
Judge Hughes delivered an elaborate
opinion showing the present condition of
the State debt, and that recent legislation
by the General Assembly had
left $4,150,000 of tax receivable
coupons already due, unprovided for and
outstanding to harass the State Treasury,
cumber the courts and fly-blow the
reputation of the State in the monetary
centres of the world. He said that he ap
prehended serious consequences from
ibis state of things.
A JEW OX THE GIBBET.
He is the Second of His Race to Hang
In the United States.
Pittsburg, Sept. 2.—Martin Weinber
ger was hanged this morning in the coun
ty jail yprd, for the murder of Louis Gott
freund, a peddler, near Sewickley, on the
night of June 10, 1882. The execution
was private, not more than 50 persons, in
cluding the members of the press, being
present. There were no religious services,
and after the noose was adjusted, the trap
was sprung and the condemned man
was launched into eternity. Death re
sulted from strangulation, and in fifteen
minutes life was pronounced extinct.
Weinberger was a Jew, the first ever
banged in Alleghany county, and he is
believed to be the second in" the United
States.
Killed by a Stray Itullet.
Boston, Sept. 2. — Mrs. Melvina Butler,
while leaning over a stove at her resi
dence in East Boston this morning, was
struck in the breast by a 50-calibre bullet,
which entered through a window. The
missle merely caused a bruise, and fell to
the floor. Mrs. Butler dieil in a few min
utes afterwards, it is believed from the
shock and intense bleeding over the heart,
caused by concussion. It i& thought that
the Imllet came from a weapon discharged
in Charlestown. Officers are investicat
ting the affair.
Harrlble Fate of Two Little Girls.

They then cut the throat of the youngest
child. The whole country is aroused, and

VERMONT AT THE POLLS.
THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES
LARGELY CUT DOWN.
Democrats Elated Over tlie Significance
of the Result—Waller gets the Demo
cratic Gubernatorial Nomination in
Connecticut, and Currie the Republi
can Standard Bearer iu New Hamp
shire.
Montpelier, Vt., Sept. 2.—ln to-day’s
elections there were no prominent local or
State issues calculated to call out an un
usual vote, but as the day dawned fine,
despite the lack of canvass made by both
sides, it seemed likely that a pretty full
vote will be polled. The vote of to-dav is
compared with the vote tor Governor in
1880, That year the total vote was 70,-
684. Of this the Republican candidate for
Governor had 47.848, and the Democratic
candidate 21,245, and there were 1,578
Greenback votes and 13 strays. It is esti
mated that each party has a reserve or
stay-at-home limit of several thousand,
the aggregate being nearly 25,000 votes.
The candidates in to-day’s election were
as lollows:
Revublictin —Governor, Samuel E. Pingreo;
Lieutenant Governor, K. J. Ormsbee; secre
tary, I’tiarles W. Porter; Trea urer. Win. 11.
Dubois; Auditor, E. Henry l’owell: Congress
man, First district, John W. Stewart; Second
district, Wm. W. Grout.
Democratic— Governor, L. W. Reddington;
Lieutenant Governor, N. i\ Broman; Secre
tory, 11. F. Bigham; Treasurer, Henry Gillet;
Auditor, C. S. Noyes; Congressman, First
district, G. H. Simmons; Second district, M.
H. Goddard.
Pingree is the present Governor.
other tickets.
The Greenbackers had a ticket in the
field, but their vote was expected to be
small.
The Independents had within the last
month put a ticket in the field, which was
identically the same as that of the Re
publicans, with the exception of the sub
stitution of the names of C. M. Stone, of
St. Johnsbury, for Governor, and Charles
Waterhouse, of Rutland, for Lieutenant-
Governor.
Anew feature of the present election
was that the Secretary of State and State
Auditor were for the first time elected
by the people, instead of by the General
Assembly as formerly. Two members of
Congress, members of the Legislature
and county officers were voted for. The
new Legislature will elect a successor to
United States Senator Morrill. The last
Legislature had 156 Republican majority
on joint ballot.
A democratic tidal wave.
Burlington, Vt., Sept. 2.—Burlington
elects C. A. Hibbard City Representative

the largest Democratic majority ever cast
here.

is the first time the city has ever given
a majority for a Democratic State ticket.

Farnham (Uep.) 27,405, Phelps (Dem.)
12,650, giving Farnham a majority of
14,755. This shows a failing
oft'in the Republican jote from 1880 ot
2,382, and in the Democratic vote of the
same year of 689. For Congress in the
First district Stewart (llep.) has 7,237,

WALLER RENOMINATED.
The Connecticut Democrats Itefuge to
Accept his Letter ag Filial.
Hartford, Conn-, Sept. 2. —The Demo
cratic State Convention was called to
order in this city at 11 o’clock this morn
ing by James Gallagher, Chairman of the
State Committee, and Congressman Ed
ward W. Seymour was chosen Temporary
Chairman. He briefly addressed the con
vention, predicting victory for Grover
Cleveland, and alluding to the Republican
nomination for the Presidency as one
which had drawn from the Republican
ranks many of that party. He spoke of
tbe Republican candidate as one whoso
“official” acts in a subordinate position
had caused the cheeks ot his friends to
“mantle shame.” The conven
tion all resolutions that
might be pi:**nted to the Commit
tee on without reading
or resolution offered
was in a secret ballot and
weekly pAprents of wages to laboring
men. Hon. Edward W. Seymour, the
temporary Chairman, was made perma
nent President of the convention. An
informal ballot was ordered for candi
dates for Governor. A motion to present
the names of candidates was voted down.
Chairman Gallagher at. this point said
it due to Gov. Walter that he
should read a letter he had received from
him, which had been published in the
newspapers, but without authority.
Mr. Olmstead opposed reading the let
ter, and the convention loudly applauded
him.
THE CONVENTION IN UPROAR.
A scene of confusion followed, during
which various motions were made, one
of which waslhat Gov. Waller be nomi
nated by acclamation.
The Chair decided that during tne tak
ing of the ballot no other business was in
order and the letter of Gov. Waller in
which,as is known, he said that he would
not be again a candidate was not read.
Before the informal ballot was announced
a motion was again made to read the let
ter, but it was voted down. The informal
ballot resulted as follows: Thomas M,
Waller 297, and George G. Sumner 94.
Mr. Olmstead, of Stamford, then moved
the renomination of Gov, Waller by ac
clamation. *
if- rp A . i_ . 4 . .
mi. luuacr, of Darien, said that he harl
a letter printed in a newspaper in which
Gov. Waller had declined to be the nomi
nee of the Democrats and he thought that
the time had arrived when if a candidate
said “no” or “yes” he meant it. Oppo
sition to nomination by acclamation was
made and the motion was withdrawn. Mr.
Olmstead then read a letter from Gov. Wal
ler,written yesterday,in which he said that
he had written a letter to Mr. Gallagher,
saying that he did not desire a renomina
tion because of the personal sacrifice the
canvass would require of him, but the
letter did not say that he would refuse the
nomination il tendered him. After the
reading of the letter an excited individ
ual, who was said not to be a delegate,
made a confused talk, in which he said
that Gov. Waller had “gone back on his
creed,” and “was the sneak of Ben But
ler.”
A formal ballot was then ordered, the
delegates voting by ballot, alter the roll
call, and resulted as follows: Thomas M.
Waller 438 and George G. Sumner 75.
G. G- Sumner was then renominated
Lieutenant-Governer by acclamation,
After the announcement of the formal
ballot the nomination of Gov. W aller was
made unanimous. J. D. Plunkett was
nominated for Comptroller. The follow
ing are the Presidential electors; At
large, Alfred E. Burr, of Hartford, and
Fred’k W. Bruggeuhoff, of D irien: First
district, Robert Patton, of Ellington; Sec
ond district, H. G. Hubbard, of Middle
town; Third district, Frank B. Loomis, of
New London; Fourth district, Owen B.
King, of Watertown. *A delegate
ottered a resolution declaring that the
wages of laborers should be exempt
from attachment. This was opposed
on the ground that the provision in
the platform that wages should be paid
weekly sufficiently covered the question.
D. Ward Northrop, ot Middletown, was
renominated for Secretary of State, and
A. R. Goodrich nominated for Treasurer;
both by acclamation.
A proposition to exempt wages to the
amount of SSO from attachment was final
ly presented but voted down.
Cheers were then given for Cleveland
and Hendricks and the convention ad
journed. After this a meeting of the State
Central Committee was held, and James
Gallagher was elected Chairman.
NEW HAMPSHIKE REPUBLICANS
Moody Currier Nominated for Governor
on tlie First Ballot.
Concord, N. H., Sept. 2.—The Repub
lican State Convention was called to or
der by Chairman Gallinger, of the State
Committee, at 11:35 o’clock this morning,
with a large attendance of delegates and
spectators. Chairman Gallinger’s ad
dress was well received. He expressed
his conviction that the nominees of the
party would receive 5,000 majority in
New Hampshire next November. The or
ganization recommended at the meeting
of the State Committee last evening was
adopted, and the gentlemen named at
that time were elected as the permanent
officers of the convention. Mr. Greene,
the Chairman, then delivered his address.
He alluded to the brilliant record of the
Republican party, and the great funda
mental truths which had developed such
men as Lincoln, Grant and Garfield. He
argued that the Republican party favored
good government oi the people, by the
people, and lor the people, with all that
such government implies. He conceded
that the revenue of to-day is in excess ol
the wants of the government, but as
serted it to be the purpose of the Republi
can party to relieve the people from any
unnecessary burdens.
A vigorous foreign policy.
Regarding our foreign policy, he said;
“We believe iu a policy that mines our
own business, and expect other nations to
mind theirs, and one that asserts our
rights and maintains them.” He spoke
in eulogistic terms of Blaine and Logan.
The convention then proceeded to ballot
for Governor by counties, which resulted
as follows: Whole number of votes, 566;
necessary to a choice, 284. David H.
Goodell, of Antrim, received 146; Moody
Currier, of Manchester, 410, and there
were 10 scattering. Currier’s nomina
tion was made unanimous.
A committee escorted him to the plat
form, where he made an address accepting
the nomination. George W. Libbv, of
White-field, and James E. Larkin, of Con
cord, were elected Presidential electors.
After the adoption of a series of resolu
tions the convention resolved itself into a
county convention for the choice of 100
members of the State Committee. After
the names of those selected had been an
nounced the convention adjourned.
MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS.
The Present State Oflicers to be Re
nominated Without Opposition.
Boston, Sept. 2.— There are fewer lie
publican delegates on hand to-night than
usual on the eve of a State Conven
tion. This is due to the fact that there is
no opposition to the renomination of
Gov. Robinson and the rest of
the State ticket, and there is
general acquiescence in the plan to
make ex-Gov. Talbot and President
Hopkins Presidential electors. There are
no dissensions in the party and the most
perfect harmony prevails. It is under
stood that all the nominations will be
made by acclamation, and the business of
the convention will be transacted in a
very short time. A vigorous speech is
expected from Mr. Morse and Gov. Robin
son will undoubtedly accept his nomina
tion in a speech. Mr. Lodge
and Judge Hoar will also be
heard from. Col. Hopkins, Chairman of
the Committee on Resolutions, has drawn
a series of resolutions, in which it is
claimed that in regard to all manner of
relorms, whether in the civil service, in
labor legislation, or in other ways, the
Republican party has inaugurated and
sustained them. There is a taritf plank
and an indorsement of President Arthur.
MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS.
Butler to be Censured—Men Named for
the Ticket.
Worcester, Mass., Sept. 2.—There is
a small gathering at the hotels to-night of
delegates to the Democratic State Con
vention, which meets here to-morrow.
The State Central Committee has given
all the evening to hearing contesting dele
gations. There is considerable talk
about Gen. Butler’s course. Some
favor ignoring him, while others
believe in openly censuring his course.
The talk concerning candidates shows no
united movement. The tickets proposed
are William C. Endicott, of Salem, lor
Governor, and James S. Gunnell, of
Greenfield, for Lieutenant Governor. An
other is Leopold Morse and S. W. Bower
man. A third is Morse and Grinnell; a
fourth is Avery and Plunkett; a fifth
has Plunket at the head and Woodbury,
Russell or Avery for second place. There
is also talk of nominating Gaston as the
easiest way out.
PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.
No State Ticket Nominated, but St.
•Tolin to be Supported.
Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 2.— The Pro
hibition State Convention met in this city
to-day. About 150 delegates were present
with credentials, and of this number
about 50 were permitted to participate as
metnliers of the convention, the others
being rejected because they refused to
pledge themselves to support St. John for
President. A. M. Richardson presided
over the convention. It was moved
to nominate a State ticket with John
A. Martin at the head. The motion was
lost. It was then moved to turn the mat
ter of a State ticket over to the State Com
mittee to be reported on in October, which
was lost. A motion that the convention
should indorse John A. Martin, the Re
publican candidate for Governor, was
also lost. A resolution was then passed,
as follows:
Resolved, That we belive it to he to our bes!
to waive our power of nominating
State officers and to leave the matter to each
member to act individually, and that we use
our best endeavor to secure the election of
the national Prohibition ticket.
GOOD CHEEIt FROM THE WEST.
Both Nevada and California Sure to go
for Cleveland.
Washington, Sept. 2.—Chairman El
well, of the Democratic Committee, at
Carson City, Nevada, in a letter to a
Democrat of this city,6ays that Cleveland
will carry that State by a small majority,
and that Cassidy, for Congress, will beat
any man the Republicans put against
him. He also adds that his advices from
California were most satisfactory. He
wrote that in California there are mo*~
Democratic clubs than ’ , ~‘'i
that the Demoo- - • -.or Delore, and
fr-. io.wT iat6 are counting upon
“ om to 15,000 majority.
Arkansas True to Her Colors,
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 2 The vote
is heavy in tho county. No ward has
been counted yet. Thecounty ticket will be
close,but the election of the whole ticket is
claimed by the Democrats. Specials from
all over the county indicate a very large
vote due to the increased population and
deep interest in the county election. The
Democratic State ticket is elected by a
large majority. The indications are that
most oi the Republicans voted against the
amendment repudiating the $11,000,000
railroad aid levied ior bonds.
To-night’s late returns did not change
the general result of the election. The
vote in this (Pulaski) county is partly
counted and is very close. The Republi
cans claim a small majority for county
officers, but their claims are not admitted
by the Democrats. The official count must
decide the election.
The Texas Republicans.
Houston, Sept. 2.— The Republican
State Convention convened here at 1
o’clock to-day. A. J. Rosenthal, of Fay

SPAIN GROWING PANICKY
CHOLERA INVADES ALICANTE
AND A PANIC FOLLOWS.
All Towns and Provinces Trying the
Efficiency of Quarantine Regulations—
The Disease Developing Alarming
Virulence at Naples—The Bulletins of
the Day as Gloomy as Usual.
Paris, Sept. 2.—Cholera has undoubted
ly appeared in the city and province of
Alicante, Spain. It was brought there
by a family from Cette, France, by wayot
Algiers. A week’s quarantine to which
it was subjected proves to have been an
insufficient safeguard. Another case in
addition to those already reported has oc
cured in the city of Alicante, while at
Novelda, a town on the railway a few
miles west, 16 persons have been attacked
with the disease, of whom 5 have died.
A sanitary cordon has been promptly es
tablished about the town. At Elda 2
suspected cases of cholera appeared and
2 likewise at Monovar. All the other pro
vinces of Spain will maintain a quaran
tine of 10 days against Alicante. Much
alarm prevails at Madrid. A railway
train arrived yesterday bringing 100 pas
sengers from Alicante. Those are now
