kept other refreshments than bed and hoard.
He kept and sold whisky, which he kept in a
jug. and from which this place took its tra
ditionary name. Xo doubt many nights the
weary travelers forgot their weariness as the
sparkling cup was passed around amid merry
jests, and many were the tales they related
of their adventures.
Athens Banner: Cadet Russell, of the United
States Xaval Academy, was in to see us yes
terday, and we find him a most intelligent
and interesting young gentleman. He tells
us that students at the academy are allowed
from the day they enter |SOO per annum and
*IOB for rations by the government, but board
costs *22 per month. Mr. Russell will gradu
ate in dune, when his pay will lie increased
to *I,OOO. He was in Portsmouth, and assisted
i_ the reception of the survivors of the Greely
expedition. He says that while they were
wan and sallow and their faces haggard,
they did not look as bad ashe expected. Mr. R.
says there is no doubt aboutcannibalisra being
practiced, but none of them would talk about
it. The Polar vessels were most substantially
built, an t the Bear ran against a rock with
out sustaining any injury. The bodies of tke
dead were in iron chests, and were not
opened until after the charge of cannibalism
had been made. Mr. Russell has been on sev
eral cruises, ami is well pleased with his call
ing. He says tbey are very strict at the
academy, and yon must do your duty to the
letter or be dismissed.
President Mell, of the State University, has
submitted to the Governor a report for the
rear just ended. It shows that there have
been 1,098 students on the roll; 204 at Athens,
divided as follows: 127 in-Franklin College,
6*5 in the State College of Agriculture and Me
chanic Arts, 9 in the law department and 2
past graduates. In the medical department
at Augusta were 122; in the XortU Georgia
Agricultural College 146; in feouth Georgia
Agricultural College 130; in the Wes Georgia
Agricultural College 106; in the Middle Geor
gia Agricultural College 390. The total re
ceipts for the year are put down at *53,375 99,
made up of *8,553 41 that was already on hand,
*>.370 of interest on the general fund. *1.400
interest on the Terrill fund. *19,594-
lt of the land script fund, *3,500 inter
est on the Charles McDonald-Brown
fund—*2.294 40 of the Brown fund was
expected. The salaries amount to *17,850.
There are two important chairs in the scien
tific department that are vacant, and an ur
gent appeal is made for them to be filled. They
eanuot now be filled on account of the short
ness of funds. A strong appeal is also made
for the appointment of the technological
school from which young men are already
graduated. President Mell is very anxious
to see this department of the State University
aided until it can do greater good than at
present.

Apalachicola Tribune'. Last Wednesday our
community was shocked over the particulars
of a sad and distressing accident originating
in this city, at the house of Mr. Spikes, who
has but recently moved to the city from near
West Point, Ga. On the evening’in question
Mr. Spikes was down with chills and fever
and Mrs. Spikes sent her young daughter,
Bertha (a bright and pretty girl of some
twelve years of age), to kindle a fire in the
stove. Bertha toon the kerosene can and,
kindling a light in the stove, began to pour tho
oil on the dickering blaze. Suddenly the blaze
came in contact with the spout of the can, and
igniting the oil, the can exploded with a loud
sound and the unfortunate girl’s clothing
took fire. Bertha then ran into the room
where her mother and father were, screaming
at every step as the fiames mounted higher
and higher. As she entered the room the
frightene l mother sprang forward and clasped
tke half fainting child to her breast. While
they were in this position some neighbors
rushed into the house anil using blankets ex
tinguished the flames that had enveloped both
father, mother and daughter. The girl
Bertha was burnt almost beyond recognition,
while the mother was not much better off.
The girl subsequently died. Mr. and Mrs.
Spikes at last accounts were doing as well as
possible under the eircnmstances, while it
was found that the baby’s injuries were not
of an alarming nature.

Awaiting a Taker at Chicago— SSOO
Laid on Eight States.
Xkw Turk. Sept. 6.— With the begin
ning of autumn and the approach of the
working time in politics ushered in by the
fall elections there is increased activity,
noticeably at the national headquarters,
both Democratic and Republican. Re
porters of the Associated Press visited
the different headquarters to-day, and
found them stirring and crowded with
adherents. The Democratic headquarters
at the Uoffman House were crowded with
representatives from all portions of the
country, all cringing in reports to the en
ergetic and busy committee. Chairman
Barnum, Secretary Prince, and their co
workers, have finally organized the plan
of the campaign, and it is plain that it
will be pressed with vigor. The
Greenback or Butler headquarters,
which are on Fifth Avenue, are
presided over by W. A. Fowler,
who is organizing in an active manner.
The Republican headquarters, at 242
Fifth avenue, occupy a brown stone
house entire. It is alive with interest
and activity. Messrs. Jones, Elkins,
Fessenden and Hobart have spent the
past six weeks there organizing the cam
paign in detail, and now the full Cam
paign Committee ot the Executive Com
mittee has been ordered, and will remain
herein session until election. It is to
consist of the gentlemen named above
and Messrs. Clarkson, of lowa, and
Chaffee, of Colorado, all of whom are here
now, except Messrs. Elkins and Chaffee,
who will be here on Monday.
A FLOOD OF DOCUMENTS.
Large corps of clerks are busy sending
out documents and the correspondence of
the committee has become immense.
For the last three or four days Senators
Allison of lowa, Don Cameron of Penn
sylvania, Harrison of Indiana, Miller of
New York and Secretary Chandler have
been in close consultation with the com
mittee. Secretary Chandler said to an
Associated Press reporter that all the
members ot the administration were
hearty in their support of the ticket, and
with the coming ol cool weather they
would enter heartily into the cam
paign. It was learned that Gen.
Gresham and Gen. Brewster had
tendered their services as speakers to the
committee. Senator Cameron expressed
cordial interest in the ticket and cam
paign, and said that he was ready to help
in the campaign and was confident of
s ceess. Senator Allison was enthusias
tic over the Northwest and Senator Har
rison of Republican success in Indiana.
At both Democratic and Republican
headquarters it was agreed that Ohio in
October is probably to he the battle-field.
TAMM ANY HALL MEETS.
No Positive Action in Reference to the
Presidential Ticket Taken.
Neav York, Sept. 6. —The Tammany
Hall leaders in the various districts held
a conference with John Kelly in Tamma
ny Ilall this evening, Among those pres
ent were: Register Reilly, Coroner Mar
tin, Gen. Spinola, Fire Commissioner
Croker, ex-County Clerk Gambleton,
Police Justices Duffy, Gorman
and Welder, Senator Plunkett,
Aldermen Kirk and Grant, Col. E.
T. Wood, and John J. Stevsns.
Every Assembly district was represented.
John’Kelly, in opening the meeting, saiij
that he was desirous of learning the feel
ing of those present, and the feeling of
voters about the Democratic nomination
for tbe Presidency. Each district was
heard in turn. While a majority of those
present stated that Cleveland was a fa
vorite in their respective districts, they
spoke without enthusiasm. Several de
clared that their people were for Butler.
No formal action was taken, but it was
tacitly decided that the Committee on
Organization, which meets Monday night,
shall prepare an address and series of
resolutions Avhich shall be submitted to
the General Committee on Friday for
discussion. Positive action will not be
taken until the General Committee meets.
The meeting of the Committee on Orga
nization will be private. It is under
stood that Tammany has decided to run a
straight county ticket without coalition.
HBM)KICKS ON BUTLER.
The Latter’s Canvass Sure to be Under
mined Before November.
Indianapolis, Sept. 6.—ln an inter
view this afternoon with a reporter, Gov.
Hendricks was asked: “What do you
think will be the result of the Butler can
vass
“That is very difficult to answer. Mr.
Butler is unquestionably a very and anger
ous man before an audience, and he will
attract large audiences, and were the
election to occur to-day I should be in
clined to concede him a considerable vote,
but the weakening process is going on
steadily. People do not like to throw
votes away. The certainty that his
election is impossible under any
circumstance will deter many of his ad
mirers from voting for him. It is also
impossible for him to effect as perfect an
organization as possessed by either of the
old parties. But Mr. Butler is a remark
able man, and those who know him best
admit that he is a very good one.’’
“If tbe Chicago Convention had placed
your name at the head of the ticket don’t
you think that you would have had his
support?”
“I know it,” said Mr. Hendricks, warm
ly; “I know it.”
BLAINE HARD PRESSED.
The Defendant* Move the Court for a
Rule Against the Plaintiff.
Indianapolis, Sept. 6.—Another step
was taken in the Federal Court to-day in
the Blaine-N’enfme/ matter by the filing of
the following:
The defendants move the court for a rule
aga nst the plaintiff in answer to the inter
rogatories li ed with the answer of the de
fendant, and that the court shall make such
rule returnable at such time as may he
deemed by the court to be reasonable for the
puriiosc of said action, as by statute provided
and required.
The argument could not be had on the
motion to-day, and, inasmuch as Judge
Woods goes to Fort Wayne on Monday to
hold court, the matter will probablynot
be ruled upon for several days. ' The
plaintiff's counsel have not refused to
answer the interrogatories.
BETTING ON THE ELECTION.
*250,000 Offered That Cleveland Will
Carry the Day—Bets on States.
Washington, Sept. 6.—A bet was
made in thi9 city to-day of S4OO a side on
the result in November in eight States, or
SSO on each State. The States are: New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Nevada and Michi
gan! If four of the States should go Re
publican and four Democratic then it will
be a stand off. lf five should go for
Cleveland then the Democrat would win
SSO, and so on. The biggest money yet
offered for betting is said to have been
put up by a wealthy resident of Wiscon
sin. It is reported that he has sent $250,-
000 to a noted Chicago sporting man to be
waged on the election of Cleveland and
Hendricks.

MURDERED BY HIS BROTHER.
Trouble Over an Estate Leads to a
Wealthy Chicagoan's Killing.
Chicago, Sept. 6.—William H. Downie,
a member of the Board of Trade, was
found dead in the basement of his house
on LaSalle avenue last night with a bullet
hole in his left temple. He was alone in
the house at the time of the occurrence.
As the front part of the face was powder
burned and the hair scorched it was at
first supposed to be a case of
suicide, but on a closer examina
tion the position and direction of the
wound and the fact that no Aveapon
could be found, led to the conclusion that
it was a ease of murder. With his broth
er Charles he had had frequent alterca
tions in regard to an undivided estate lett
them by their mother, these troubles
leading to their separation. Yesterday
there was an unusually stormy scene and
Charles made an attempt to brain his
brother with an ax. This, with tho fact
that Charles once shot at William, led to
the suspicion that the present was a case
of fratricide and the police arrested
Charles on his way from the city to his
suburban home. On his person they
found a revolver with one chamber
empty,

CHOLER A’S COUNTLESS VICTIMS
The Bulletins from the Infected Dis
trict* Still Very Gloomy.
Paris, Sept. 6.—A contemplated pil
grimage from Boulogne to Lourdes has
been forbidden by the authorities on ac
count of the cholera.
There was 1 death from cholera at Tou
lon last night, 5 at Tourves, 2 at Laseyne,
3 at Perpignan, 3 at Thurin, and single
deaths at several other towns in South
France.
An official notice has been issued pro
claiming that Bordeaux has been infected
with cholera since Aug. 27, and refusing
admission to vessels from Bordeaux at
Portuguese ports.
The Cabinet Ministers who have been
visiting the cholera stricken quarters of
Naples have returned to Rome. They are
impressed with the belief that the rapid
spread of cholera in Naples is due to the
bad sanitary condition of that place. The
Sanitary Council has decided that a quar
antine at the frontier is needless.
Many cases of cholera have occurred,
among the troops quarantined in Castello
Nuevo, one of the principal forts of the
city of Naples. Young men belonging to
the aristocracy are forming a corps of in
spection toentorce the adoption of hygienic
measures.
A demonstration, in which fully 4,000
people took part, occurred at Campo
basso, Italy, yesterday. The purpose of
the gathering was to' make an emphatic
demand for the establishment of quaran
tine for all persons coming to the town.
It is now reported that cholera first
broke out at Novelda, in the province of
Alecante, Spain, three weeks ago and the
fact was kept secret.
ITALY’S FEARFUL RECORD.
The Daily Bulletin, showing the ravages
of the cholera in the provinces of Italy for
the past 24 hours, gives the new cases as
293, and the deaths at 158. The epidemic
in the province of Genoa is confined to
Spezzia and its vicinity. One hundred and
sixty-eight of tho fresh cases and 09 of the
deaths reported above were in the city of
Naples alone. The Prefect of Reggio has
been summoned to Rome in consequence
of the demonstrations which have oc
curred at that place.
An investigation of the report that there
has been cholera at Bordeaux develops
the fact that a few cases occurred there a
fortnight ago. They were isolated, how
ever, and were not of an epidemic char
acter.
During the past 24 hours there have
been 5 deaths trem cholera at Marseilles.
Two hundred fresh cases of cholera
have been reported at Naples during the
past 24 hours. The number of deaths to
day shows a decrease as compared with
previous days. Efforts are being made to
procure a supply of meat, as the stock in
the city is exhausted.
THE BULLETIN IN SPAIN.
The bulletin of the progress of the
cholera in Spain during the past twenty
four hours gives the following: At Novel
da, 7 fresh cases, s deaths; Monforte, 5
fresh cases, 1/leath. A child from Ali
cante, who is" now in a lazaretto near
Madrid, is suffering from a suspicious
illness.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 6.—The report
that the three Emperors will meet at the
castle of Skerniavieh, near Warsaw, is
confirmed. In this city the exceptional

at Redway & Burton’s foundry this morn
ing after their severe handling by a crowd
last night when they left work. There is
a large crowd about the foundry to-day.
Police are there also, but they seem to be
unable to prevent the collection of peo
ple. One man last night after being
knocked down and beaten by strikers
drew a pocket knife and stabbed one of
his assailants in the back. He was ar

BALTIMORE’S OLD GUARD.
THE HEROES OF 1812 SUCCUMB
TO THE RAVAGES OF TIME.
Death’s Havoc in Its Rank* and the
Infirmities of the Seven Survivors
Compel- an Old Organization to Give
Up Its Annual Reunion and Parade—
The City’s Heart Touched bv the In
cident.
Baltimore, Sept. 6.— The Association
of Old Defenders, whose members took
part in the battle of North Point in the
war of 1812, has disbanded, Its few sur
vivors being disabled by the infirmities of
age. It has been the custom of the asso
ciation for many years to attend church
in a body on the Sunday preceding the
12th day of September,each member wear
ing a cockade and crape on the left arm.
This ceremony will not take place to
morrow. Annually at 9 o’clock on the
morning of the 12th ol September
they assembled at the east front
of the City Hall, and form
ing in line, with drum and fife, they
marched to Calverts street, around Battle
Monument, with uncovered heads. After
this tribute to the memory of those who
fell in battle at North Point, they pro
ceeded to some pleasant retreat in the
city and partook of their annual dinner,
for which the City Council made an
annual appropriation. On Sept. 12 there
will be no meeting and no marching.
HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION.
The Sun, alluding to the disbandment,
says; .
The famous Old Defenders' Association,
whose annual parade has been the most nota
ble and impressive feature of the celebration
of September 12, is no more. The constitution
of the organization provided that it should i e
kept so long as there wee five members
able and willing to continue the organization.
Year after yehr the veterans have been drop
ping out of the ranks, overcome bv the burden
of years, until there are not now five left who
arc able to attend a meeting of the associa
tion, and it has been dissolved. It has been
their annual custom to attend church
in a body on the Sunday be
fore the 12th, but to-morrow
the veterans will not gather as of yore, nor
will the 12th witness their union to talk
over the brave days of old. The association was
formed in 1842 in Baltimore, and had at its
formation 1,259 members, most all of whom
lived at that time in Baltimore or near by. A
number lived in York, Pa. The members af
terwards scattered all over the country.
THE LAST RALLY.
Last year only 9 attended the annual re
union and in addition to them there were only
13 on record whose whereabouts were known.
Those who attended the celebration last
year were Nathaniel Watts, First Vice Presi
dent, Samuel Jennings, Second Vice Presi
dent. William Batchellor, George Boss, Darin#
Wheeler, James Morford, and E. Glen. Col.
E. Stansbury, President of the association,
who was then 96 years old, and Ashbnry Jar
rett, then 83 years old, could not attend owing
to infirmities of age. Richard R. Waters, of
Montgomery county, who was on duty in Ft.
McHenry on the night of its bombardment,
was also present but was not a member of the
association.
Air. Glen lives in Newark, N. J., but
came on to attend the annual
roll call. The 7 members now living
are AY illiam Batched, r, age 1 98 yea.*; George
Boss, 91 years; Samuel Jennings, 90 yeers;
Ashbury Jarrett, 89 years; James Morford, 89
years; Nathaniel Watts, 89 years, and John
Peddicord. Had there been "a reunion this
year it is very doubtful if more than two or
three could have attended, so feeble are the
remaining seven numbers. Much respect
was always shown these old veterans of the
war of 18121-14 when they appeared upon
the streets en route to church or to their re
union, and of recent years AVilson Post of the
Grand Army of the Republic has turned out
as an escort.
RUNNING ON A BANK.
liumors of st $200,000 Deficiency Star
tles New Jersey Depositors.
New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 6.
There was a big run on the National
Bank here to-day, police keeping back
the crush. It was rumored that there
was a deficiency of $200,000. No one
aouDts that the late cashier of the bank,
Charles S. Hill, committed suicide. Gov.
Abbett has appointed Dr. C. M. Slack
County Clerk, the position having been
made vacant by Mr. Hill’s death.
The bank stopped payment at 12:45
o’clock. The run was tremendous and
the surplus was exhausted. Cashier
Hill’s deficiency ranges from $225,000 to
$260,000. It is expected that money will
be received from New York to enable the
bank to tide over the crash, M. C. Mar
tin, one of the directors, having sent to
that city for SIOO,OOO. Mr. Hill’s specu
lation may yet implicate others. The
result of the official examination of the
bank’s affairs is unknown. Mr. Hill was
buried this afternoon.

CELTIC HATE OF BRITON.
The Dublin Castle Authorities Still

Dublin, Sept. 6.—A movement is on
foot in this city to substitute Irish names
for the present English names of the
streets.
INFORMERS INTERA'TEAVED.
An interview has been had with in
formers Casey and Philbine, Avho claim
that they swore falsely against Myles
Joyce in connection with the Maam
trasna murder case. Casey declared that
there were seven men who committed
the murders—himself, Michael Casey,
Patrick Casey, Patrick Joyce, and three
others. One of these was a wealthy
farmer who is still living near
Maumtrasna. This man insti
gated the massacre and held
the lamp Avhile the family were mur
dered. It was he too Avho compelled them
to return and murder the aged grand
mother. Casey asserted that Joyce, Tom
Miles, and Martin and Patrick and John
Casey were not present. The interviewer
was impressed that Casey was telling the
truth.
Freeman's Journal alleges that the gov
ernment* is well aware of the truth of
Casey’s statements, and again demands
that anew public inquiry into the case
shall be made.
AMERICAN DYNAMITE SPOOKS.
Liverpool, Sept. 6.— The Courier of
this city asserts that the authorities at
Dublin Castle continue to receive alarm
ing information relative to the operations
of American dynamiters. It is alleged
that boa bs are being continually brought
to the United Kingdom by agents of
O’Donovan Rossa, who have obtained em
ployment on ocean steamers and so evade
suspicion. The steamers are being
regularly watched, but so far as is known
nothing of a dangerous or suspicious
character has been discovered.
WOLSELEY APT TO FAIL.
No Possibility of Boatg Reaching Him
in Time to Navigate the Nile.
London, Sept. 6.—The rebels attacked
Kassala in great force yesterday, and
were defeated Avith heavy losses.
Advices from Wady Haifa state that
the Nile has fallen so much that the haul
ing of boats up the cataracts has had to be
suspended.
Sixty boats sent by the MudirofDon
gola have arrived at Sarras. They will
be utilized to facilitate the progress of the
Sussex Regiment and 200 mounted infan
try to Dongola.
Advices from Cairo are to the effect
that the rapid fall of the Nile has in
creased the tears that Gen. Wolseley’s
plan for reaching Khartoum will prove
a failure. For the success of an expedi
tion by means of boats, which were to
have been used, they should be completed
in the Liverpool and Clyde yards before
the end of the present month.
They Avould not then, under the
best circumstances, reach Wady Haifa
before the end of November. It is esti
mated by military critics that if the expe
dition should go the whole of the way to
Khartoum that place would not be reach
ed until the end of February. Gen.
Wolseley, in conversation, stated that it
was his intention to arrive at Dongola
personally, if only with a small contin
gent and at any risk, by Nov. 7.
Henry M. Stanley denies that he is go
ing with Gen. Wolseley to Khartoum. He
advised the dispatch of an expedition to
relieve Supton Bey’s garrison at Bahr
Gazelle, starting from Congo station as
the base of operations.

Tor quin Pronounced Mere Moonshine.
Paris, Sept. 6. —The Chinese Legation
in Berlin denies that Li Hung Chang, the
famous Viceroy of Pee Chili, has been de
graded.
Chinese advices received in Vienna re
port that China has called 25,000 men to
defend Pekin, and has granted the Minis
ter of War 12,000,000 francs for the pur
chase of munitions of war.
A dispatch from Hong Kong says tha t
the GoA’ernor of that place has received
orders to enforce the provisions of the
foreign enlistment act. The Governor
has notified French Admiral Lespes of
these orders, and the latter has given the
Governor assurance that the French will
respect the measure.
The French cruiser Villars Avill take
the place of the ironclad Atalaute at Hue,
the capital of Annam. It was at first in
tended to send the La Gallissomere, bu t
the idea was abandoned, as this vessel is
badly hulled.
A dispatch from Boulogne savs that Ad
miral Courbet will shortly be' promoted
to full Admiral. His rank now is Vice
Admiral, and no French naval officer has
held a higher rank than that for a great
many years.
Advices from China indicate that the
telegraphic lines between Tien Tsen and
Pekin, which have been interrupted, are
again fully restored.
Advices from China state that Admiral
Courbet has left Ke Lung and joined the
fleet in Min river, where he will await
reinforcements before attempting to oc
cupy Ke Lung. A steamer runs daily
between Sharp Peak, the landing place of
the cable, and Foo Chow, to carry tele
grams.
President Grevy has sent to Prime
Minister Ferry a letter which he received
from members of the Chamber of Depu
ties who belong to the party of the Ex
treme Left, in which a demand is made
for a convocation of the Chambers in
view of the conflict with China.
La llepublique declares that the reports
of an advance of three columns of Chinese
troops on Tonquin are pure fiction. Un
der the neiv orders of the French forces
in the East, Gen. Brier** de Lisle’s powers
are limited to the command of military
operations in Tonquin. M. le Havre, the
new Minister at Hue, will have supreme
administrative control in Annam and
Tonquin. Both Admiral Courbet and
Gen. de Lisle will receive orders in re
gard to their movements direct from
Paris.
ENGLAND’B NAVY.
London, Sept. 6.—ln response to the
demands of the press to strengthen the
British fleet in Chinese waters, a com
munique has been issued by the admiralty
stating that it is preparing to dispatch
several corvettes and composite sloops to
China. The Army and Vary Gazette,
however, declares that the admiralty is
trying to throw dust in the eyes of the
public to conceal the tact that there is no t
a single vessel ready to send through the
Suez canal that would be able to sustain
an attack by the Aveakest French
ironclad under Admiral Courbet.
If there was a ship ready
it says the admiralty would be unable to
man her without calling on the reserves
or forcing crews at foreign stations to re
main beyond their term of service. The
Gazette asserts that England is in a posi
tion ot such utter naval collapse as will
take years to remedy.
It is reported that'the Chinese agents in
Glasgow, Liverpool and London are try
ing to arrange private commissions with
the object of preying on French com
merce. Vanity Fair publishes a memoran
dum which Gen. Gordon prepared for the
Chinese Government in 1880, on the
power of China to make privateers.
Gen. Gordon lays stress on the legal
necessity that a privateer must start
under letters of marque from a Chinese
port. The report that the subjects of Eng
land anil Germany In the Chinese service
had been recalled by the governments o f
these two countries is declared to be un
true.
