NORTH CAROLINA’S I A POSITION
The Coming Exhibit of the Resources
and Attractions of the State.
Raleigh, N. C., Sept. IT.—The arrange
ments for the great State Exposition to
open here Oct. 1 are complete. Senator
Hawley, w ho is a native of this State, will
deliver the opening address. It is expect
ed that President Arthur will participate
in the ceremonies, and Senators Vance
and Ransom have extended a personal in
vitation ro many prominent public men
from the North. The exhibition will not
only be of the utmost importance to North
Carolina, but it will be of great interest
to tbe entire South. It w ill be the only
complete exhibition of the varied indus
tries of the State ever made. Gov. Jarvis
has taken a personal active interest in it,
and 100 ounties have subscribed liberally to
the fund. The building put up for the ex
hibits is the largest ever erected in this
State. It is about the size and very much
the shape of Madison Square Garden, in
New York.
While the counties have a claim to all
the room they require to display their
products, some provision has been made
for manufacturers in the North and South
who may desire to exhibit mechanical
and agricultural devices. Some New
York firms have already made applica
tion. A out $.">o,000 has been set aside
lor premiums, two days—Oct. 21 and 22
—will be devoted to a reunion of all
people Irom the North who have settled
in this State. All the prominent agri
culturists. geologists, and merchants are
lakitig a lively interest in the exhibition,
meaning to demonstrate to Northern
people the great advantages the South
Atlantic seaboard offers to settlers who
are willing to come here and work.
A NOTH Ell CL KV EL AN I) SC ANDAL
The Clerical force at Work Again, with
the Approval of Mr. Blaine.
The Republican managers, says a Bos
ton special of Sept. IT, are becoming des
perate and threaten to resort to extreme
measures to turn the tide which has set
in so strongly against Blaine since the re
cent publication of the missing Mulligan
letters. They find that hundreds of,
hitherto active Republicans who were
almost persuaded to vote lor Blaine have
come out openly against the plumed
knight within a few days, and, scouring
every avenue, they have at last resolved
to send forth another cleri a! scandal
against Mr. Cleveland. Ilis public record,
in every position he has tilled, is unas
sailable, and the Rev. Mr. Ball, of Buffalo,
has started, it is said. an<-ther scandal.
The second installment, it is said here, is
to be accompanied by several affidavits
from more or less obscure persons to gi ve it
a semblance of truth, and that having been
submitted to him its publication has been
approved by -Mr. Blaine. Your corre
spondent has been unable togetaglimpse
at the contents of the documents, but is
assured by some of Mr. Blaine’s most ar
dent admirers that, failin to reach Gov.
Cleveland through his record as Assistant
District Attorney, Mayor, Sheritf and
Governor, it is proposed to break his
growing popularity it possible by dissem
inating scandals.
It is also given out that owing to its
high moral and religious toue the New
York Sun is to be selected as an avenue
lor disseminating the scandals. The word
passed along the lines since the arrival of
Blaine in the State is: “Look out for a
fresh scandal against Cleveland. ”
Admiral Porter Aglu*t Blaine.
llariusbcrg, Sept. IT.—Col. J. Ross
Thompson, the eminent Erie lawyer, is
spending some davs in this city. He is
the son of ex-Cnief Justice Thompson,
and inherited not only the great ability
but the sterling integrity of that dis
tinguished jurist.
“I met Admiral Porter at Long Branch
last week,” he said, “aud found him deep
ly interested in current political affairs.
That distinguished naval hero looks with
undisguised alarm at the possibility of
electing James G. Blaine to the Presi
dency. liis mischievous and reckless
loreign policy could have no other effect
than to embroil this country in war with
every European power. What would be
the consequence of such a result?
Take England for example. She
could put in our waters in a month’s time
nc less than 1,500 ships of war, while our
government could not muster more than
fifteen. The consequence would be that
New Yoik, Philadelphia, Boston, and
every other seacoast city would be put
under siege, and the result would lie that
the United States would be compelled to
pay the national debt of England, in
addition to her own burden. I said to the
Admiral that in the campaign in which 1
was about to enter on my return to Penn
sylvania I would quote him as expressing
such decided convictions, and he gave his
lull assent, adding that alter having been
about Washington for some time and a
w itntss to the methods that obtaiued in
the department, he thought it would be
to the advantage of the public service to
have a change. ‘Any how,” he added,

ing card: Nkw Vobk> s*., t . j 9, last.

tions of the friends who have made this use of
her name, she sees no need of special Woman s

Pres*digt are friendly to woman suffrage.

Limerick Itefuses iy Pay a Tax.
Dublin, Sept. H.—Tike municipal au
thorities of Limerick have finally resoL ed
pot to pay the extra police tax or send a
deputation to Earl Spencer, Lord Lieu
tenant, of Ireland, whom they denounce
as a tyrant. The extra police were ap
pointed by the go\ eminent on the plea
that the local authorities did not furnish
sufficient protection against outrages,
and the cost of their maintenance was
assessed upon the communities to which
they were assigned. This is the tax that
Limerick refuses to pay.
A WESTERN EARTHQUAKE
PEOPLE BADLY FRIGHTENED
RUT NO DAMAGE DONE.
The Duration of the Vibrations Less
Than Half a Minute—People in High
Buildings Itush Into the Street In
Terror—Many Cities Feel the Shock
But Escape Unharmed.
Cincinnati, Sept. 19.—A few minutes
before 3 o’clock this afternoon a telegraph
operator at the Bee Line depot in Cincin
nati received, despatches from operators
all along that road from Cincinnati to La
fayette, Ind., inquiring if an earthquake
shock had been felt in Cincinnat, and
stating that it had been perceptible at
the offices from which the inquiries were
sent. About 3 o’clock, Cincinnati time,
the operator perceived a slight tremor in
the building. The same thing was no
ticed in various offices in the
city, but was not attributed
to an earthquake until telegraphic dis
patches from the West had come in. It
was quite different in some of the suburbs
of Cincinnati. In Clitton the agitation
was so violent as to ring bells on tables
and doors. In Cumminsville, the north
western ward' of Cincinnati, the tremor
w as felt so distinctly as to cause quite an
alarm, not only in the public schools,
where pupils were w'ith difficulty kept in
their seats, but also in private houses.
A CHILD'S TERROR
The house of Capt. Frasier, ot Cum
minsville, was so violently shaken that
the inmates became alarmed. In the
Mornington school house, in the north
eastern part of Cincinnati, an agitation
was felt, which was recognized at
ouce by the teachers as being
caused by an earthquake. Here, too, it
required all the authority of the teachers
to avoid a panic.' Toe shock was so slight
in the business portion of the city as not
to be noticed by a majority of people. In
Covington, Ivy., Air. Worthington’s resi
dence on Fourth street was so vio
lently shaken that his little daughter
lying 6ick in bed screamed with terror,
saying that someone was moving the bed.
The family of August Haven, next door,
were at dinner. The shock was so severe
as to spill water from glasses on the table,
and the family sprang to their leet in
alarm. The assistant observer at the
United States Signal Service station was
reading the thermometer for several min
utes betw-een 2:30 and 3 o’clock, and he
says that he noticed no agitation
of the mercury in the glass at that or any
other time during the afternoon.
THE TIME OF THE DISTURBANCE.
The time of the earthquake, as reported
by those who noticed it, varies from 2:30
to a few minutes after 3 o’clock, and the
duration of the shock is variously report
ed at from 10 to 20 seconds.
Advices from Indiana report that the
shock was felt at Seymour a fetv minutes
before 3 o’clock, and that it was also felt
with great severity in Lawrenceburg,
Ind., about the same time. In the lat
ter place the shock was so vio
lent as to be recognized by every
one as that of an earthquake.
It caused great alarm in the school
house, which was soon vacated by the
pupils. A clock was thrown from a shelf.
Many of the children, in their frantic en
deavors to get out of the building, jumped
out of windows. No one, however, was
hurt. The tremor, where it was not se
vere, resembled that caused by a heavily
loaded wagon passing along the street, or
a railroad train rushing by. The indica
tions are that the wave passed from the
southwest to the northeast.
IN THE TOLEHO REGION.
Toledo, 0., Sept. 19. A. shock of earth
quake was distinctly felt here at 2:20
o’clock this afternoon and lasted fifteen
seconds. The n >ise resembled that o( a
distant blast. Reports from the surround
ing towns in every direction are to the
same effect, rocking buildings and dis
placing :heir contents.
Reports from various points in this
vicinity show that the shock of earth
quake which occurred this afternoon was
quite general throughout Northwestern
Ohio and Southern Alichigan.The duration
of the shock was from ten to thirty seconds,
aud the course apparently from south west
to northeast. It v.as most violent
at Defiance, Ohio, where the swaying of
buildings created much consternation.
People hastily abandoned their houses,
aud the Methodist Conference, in session
at one of the churches, immediately ad
journed and the people rushed to the
street, A meeting of the Ladies’ Alission
ary Society, in progress at the time, was
also quickly dismissed. Glass was broken
in a number of buildings but no serious
damage done. •
GOODS THROWN FROM COUNTERS.
At Cecil. Ohio, goods in stores were
thrown from shelves, and passengers at
the railway station ran out, thinking that
a train had struck the building.
At Napoleon, Clyde, Bryas, Archbold,
Fostoria and intermediate points, the
shock was also felt, rattling windows and
crockery, but, so far as reported, doing
no material damage.
In this city a large building occupied
by the Milburn Wagon Company was per
ceptibly skaken. The employes supposed
the vibration to have been caused by the
moving of a heavy piece of machinery.
The noise was similar to that of a distant
explosion and is said to have been heard
in seme parts of the city. In others the
shock was unnoticed. The shock was
strong in Bellefontaine.
ALMOST A PANIC.
It shook the largest building in the
town of Ottawa and rattled table-ware,
and almost caused a panic at a reunion
being held in the court house.
At Dupont the shock was plainly felt.
Crockery-ware was knocked down. "
At Findlay, Ohio, the shock was severe.
The shock was quite severe at Norwalk,
Ohio. Windows were shaken and tunic!
persons seared.
At Fostoria, 0., great excitement pre
vailed. Everything was shaken and the
jars in the drug store were knocked from
their shelves.
INDIANA TOWNS.
Reports have been received from the
following towns in Indiana:
At Portland the shock was slight.
At Red Key there was a slight shock.
Several business men ran into the street
to see if their buildings were falling, and
to ascertain the cause of the vibration.
Great excitement prevailed for a moment.
At Albany large brick buildings snook
so that the inhabitants thought that they
were going to fall to the earth.
At Beaverdam, Pa., there was a very
severe shock. Everything was consider
ably shaken up, and there was great ex-,
eitement. No damage was done, except
to glassware and kindred articles.
At l’ainesville, Willoughby and Ashta
bula no shock was felt.
At Youngstown a slight shock was ex
pe: ier.ced.
TWO DISTINCT VIBRATIONS.
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 19.—A shock of
earthquake was felt here this afternoon
at 2:14 o’clock. Objects were swayed
perceptibly toward the South and back.
There were two vibrations distinctly
marked and some people report a third
more gentle. The two motions occupied
about one second each. They were .felt
in every part of the city and in all sur
rounding towns for a radius of
100 miles. In high and large buildings
the shock was telt the worst. Iu the up
per stories of the State House, ’he City
Hall and the asylum the occupants got
out as quickly as possible. At the Insane
Asylum a cnandelier fell and broke in
pieces. An arch In a church in course of
construction was jarred so that it fell.
Dishes were displaced, windows rattled,
pictures and chandeliers were seen swing
ing, and desks and floors moved.
A SWAYING MOTION IN DETROIT.
Detroit, Sept. 19.—An earthquake
shock was felt here at 2:45 o’clock this
afternoon. No damage was done, but the
shoek frightened many people. In some
localities, particularly in high buildings,
it was more noticeable than in others.
All along Griswold street the shock was
felt verv distinctly, and men rushed into
the street looking about anxiously as if
expecting buildings to fall upon them.
The shock lasted from ten to twelve sec
onds, and there was a swaying motion
that rattled windows and shook chande
liers. Boat captains say that there was a
noticeable rise in the river at the same

was felt, while in the same building across
the hallwav it was very perceptible. The
employes of the Whitney Organ Company

fourteen inches. Tn the Western Union
building the floor seemed to heave. The
operators left their instruments and men in
the lower part of the building made for
the street. In the Chamber of Commerce
building the shock was felt on the lowest
floor. James Donovan, who was sitting
on the ground floor, was shaken violently
in his chair. The shock passed leaving
ail in a mentally dizzy condition.

PRESBYTERIANS IN SESSION.
Prof. Woodrow’s Evolution Address
Thoroughly Discussed at Columbia.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 19.—The annual
meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary,
which has been in progress in this city
for two days and two nights, has ad
journed. Eleven of the thirteen directors
were in attendance. The recent ad
dress of Prof. James Woodrow,
on “Evolution,” which has attracted so
much notice, discussion of which con
sumes a large portion of nearly every
Presbyterian publication in the United
States, especially in States whose synods
control the seminary, was discussed at
length. A paper was introduced strong
ly commending Dr. Woodrow and
indorsing nearly all the posi
tions taken by him in his
address on “Evolution.” For this a sub
stitute was offered which enjoined upon
Dr. Woodrow to ceaso teaching in tho
seminary the view that evolution |is God’s
plan of creation and that the body of
Adam was probably created from a beast.
This substitute w-as voted down. The fol
lowing substitute was then introduced
and was adopted by a vote of 8 to 30.
THE BOARD'S WRITTEN VIEWS.
The boaru, having carefully considered the
address of l)r. Woodrow, published in pursu
ance of the request of this board, adopts the
following:
He*olrd, That this board does here'ly ten
don to Dr. Woodrow its thanks for the ability
and faithfulness with which lie has complieil
with its request.
2. That in the judgment of this hoard the
relations subsisting between the teachings of
Scripture and the teachings of natural science
are plainly, correctly and satisfactorily set
forth in said address.
3. That the board is not prepared to concur
in the view expressed by Dr. Woodrow as to
the probable method of thecreationof Adam’s
body; yet in the judgment of the board there
is nothing in the doctrine of evolution, as de
fined and limited by Dr. Woodrow, which ap
pears inconsistent with perfect soundness in
the faith.
4. That the board takes this occasion to re
cord its ever-growing sense of the wisdom of
the synod in the establishment of the Perkins
Professorship of Natural Science in connection
with evolution, and of the importance of
such instruction as is thereby afforded that
otir ministry mav be better prepared to resist
ttic objections of infidel scientists, and defend
the Scriptures against insidious charges.
TUE MINORITY’S PROTEST.
The minority then entered their protest
against the action of the board in refus
ing to enjoin Prof. Woodrow not to teach
that evolution is God’s plan of creating,
and that the body of Adam was probably
evolved from a lower animal. Among the
reasons given in the protest are:
That the view that the body of Adam was
evolved from a lower animal and not formed
by a supernatural act of God, Is dangerous
and hurtful. That the theory that Adam’s
body was formed by the natural law of evolu
tion, while Eve’s was created by a supernatural
act ot God, is contrary to our confession of
faith, as that confession o' faith lias been aud
is interpr* ted by our church; and that advo
cacy of the views which ha - , e received neither
the indorsement of the hoard nor
that of the synods having control
of the seminary, which have no authority from
the word of God, which tend to unsetile the
received interpretation of many liassages of
Scripture and to destroy the confidence of the
church in her doctrinal standards, which
have already -produced so much evil,
will injure the seminary and may rend
our church outright, and ought not to be
allowed.
The matter will be carried before the
four synods which control the seminary,
and will be adjudicated by them. These
arc the synods of South Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida and Alabama.

New York, Sept. 19.—There was not a

New York, Sept. 19.—Hon. YVilliam
Walter Phelps takes the responsibility of
giving to the public the following private
letter addressed to him nearly two weeks
ago:
__ „ Augusta, Sept. 6, 1884.
My Dear Mr. Phelps—l have vour favor
of the 4th advising me that the continuous in
vention and wide circulation of evil reports
render it advisable, in your judgment, not to
wait the slow process of the law, but to speak
directly to the public in my own vindication.
In thjs opinion many others, on whose judg
ment irely, concur.’! shrink Instinctively from
the suggestion, though I feel sure that I could
strengthen the confidence of all who feel
friendly to me by bringing to view a simple
thread of tiuth which is concealed in this
endless tissue of falsehood. Yu can imagine
how inexpressibly painful it must be to dis
cuss one’s domestic life in the press, although
I think with you that under the circum
stances I could count upon the generosity of
the public to justify a statement which other
wise might seem objectionable. I can, in any
event, safely commit the facts to you for j>er
sonal communication to those friends who
have taken so delicate and ro considerate an
interest in my jjTairs. The leisure hours of
to-day, when our campaign is ended and we
wait only for the election, gives me opportu
nity lor this prompt reply and the following
are the essential details:
A SECRET MARRIAGE.
At Georgetown, Ky., in the spring of 1848,
when 1 was bin IS years of age, I first
met the lady who for more than thirty-four
years lias been my wife. Our acquaintance
resulted at tlie end of six months in an en
gagement, which, without the prospect of a
speedy marriage, we uatura ly sought to keep
to ourselves. Two years later, in the spring
of 1850, when I was maturing plans to leave
my profession in Kentucky aud establish my
self elsewhere, I was suddenly summoned to
Pennsylvania by the deatli of my father. It
being very doubtful if I could return to Ken
tucky I was threatened with an idelinite
separation from her who possessed my entire
devotion. My one wish was to secure her lo
myself by an indissoluble tie
against every possible contingency in
life, and on June 30, 1850,
just prior to my departure from Kentucky,
we were, in the preseuceof chosen and trusted
friends, uulteu by • hat I knew was, in my
native State of Pennsylvania, a perfectly
legal form of marriage. On reaching home I
found that my family, and especially my be
reaved mother, strongly discountenanced my
business plans as involving too long a sepera
tion front my home and kindred. I complied
with iter wish that 1 should resume, at least for
a time, my occupati n in Kentucky, whither
I returned in the latter part of August.
HE BECAME ALARMED.
During the ensuing winter, induced by misgiv
ings under uew responsibilities, misgivings
which were increased by legal consultations,
1 became alarmed lest doubt might be
thrown upon the validity of our marriage by
reason of non-compliance with the law of the
State where it had occurred, for J had learned
that the laws of Kentucky are made by
license, and certified by the clerk of the coun
tv court, an indispensable requisite of legal
marriage. After much deliberation and with
an anxious desire to guard in the most effec
tual manner against the possible embarrass
ment resulting from our position, for which I
aloue was responsible, we decided that the
simplest and at the same time the surest way
was to repair to Pennsylvania and have an
otner marriage service performed. This was
done in the presence of witness in the city of
Pittsburg in the month of March. 1851, but
was not otherwise made public for obvious
reasons. It was solemnized only to secure an
indisputable validity, the first mar
riage being by my wife and myself
always held as sacred. At the mature
age of 54 1 do not defend the wisdom
or prudence of a secret marriage suggested
by the ardor and inexperience of youth, but
its liouor and its purity were inviolate, .si
believe, in the sight of God, and cannot be
made to appear otherwise by the wicked
devices of men. It brought to me a com
panionship which ha# been my chief happi
ness from boyhood’s yeiws to this year, and
has crowned me with whatever success I have
attained in life.
HIS FIRST CHILD’S BIRTH.
3ly eldest child, a ton, was born in his
grandmother’s bouse on June 18, 1851, in the
city of Augusta, Me., amt died in her arms
three years later, liis ashes repose in the
cemetery of his native city beneath a stoue
which recorded his name and the limits
of his innocent life. That stone,
which had stood for almost an entire
generation, lias been recently defaced by
brutal and sacrilegious hands. Asa candi
date for Presidency, I knew that I should en
counter many forms of calumny and personal
defamation, nut I confess that I did not ex
pect to be called upon to defend my beloved
and honored wife, who is a mother and grand
mother—nor did i expect that the grave of
rny little child would be cruelly desecrated.
Against such gross forms of wrong the law
gives no adequate redress, and I know that
in the end my most effective appeal against
the unspeakable outrages which 1 resist must
be to the noble manhood and noble woman
hood of America. Your friend very sincerely,
James G. Blaine.

A Cololeil Church Divided Against It
selr—Long Resigns.
Jacksonville, Sept. 19.—A big row
occurred at the Bapt’st Bethel Church
(colored) in this city last night. The
difficulty grew our of political differences
between the pastor and the people over
the action tawen by some clergymen in
opposition to Bisbee. Nluch harsh lan
guage was used, but no blood was shed.
An excursion party of thirty-five low a
land seekers went up the river this morn

The first train reached Panasofkee, Sum
ter county, this morning, creating great
rejoicing. The road opens a splendid
orange region.
Only one of the speakers announced for
the Republican meeting last night, was
prpsent. Not a single white attended.
All similar meetings in this county have
been characterized by an extraordinary
want of enthusiasm.
LONG RESIGNS.
At a meeting of the Democratic Execu
tive Committee at Tallahassee to-day, the
following res Union was accepted:
.Tallahassee, Fla., Sept 10,1884.
To //on. SamutZ Pattco, Chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee :
Dear Sir—ln view of a quite general ex
jire-sion of disajiproval made to your commit
tee by parties indifferent parts of the State
as to tlic effect on the next election of Gen.
Perry, and the improperly reported account
of the speech made by me at Madison on Aug.
25, IRB4, I deem it well to relieve your com
mittee and the Democratic candidates of pos
sible embarrassment qf my further official
action in the canvass, and respectfully tender
rny resignstion as one otlhc Democratic elec
tors in llie present campaign. Very renpect
tully, R, C. L >ng.
Hon. John G. St. Clair, Mr. Long’s al
ternate, was selected us elector, and A.
L. McCaskell, of Walton county, as al
ternate.
THE COMMITTEE’S REPLY.
The committee addressed the following
reply to Mr. Long:
In accepting your resignation the committee
do not deem it necess iry to make any lengthy
reference to public criticisms upon your Mad
ison speech. No accurate report of' it exists,
and the injustice done you and the party
through you by misrepresentation of your
views cannot be met by a fair defense before
the election, and we think that you have
acted in a wise and patriotic manner in with
drawing the subject from the field of jmhlic
discussion. The Conservative Democratic
party of Florida has maintained the con
stitutional rights of the colored man, and
has faithfully carried rut and
built up the public, school system since its ail
vent to power, and the, declarations of its plat
form clearly indicate that it proposes no de
parture from its line of policy. With this
record and these declarations before the peo
ple, the committee do not deem it necessary
to reiterate the position of the party upon
these publications which have been so much
discussed in connection with the language
imputed to you in the arblcd rejiort ot your
Ma liton spcish. Pasco, Chairman.

D. Jacobs, of Louisville, Ky., Judge Hake,
of the same city, and I. Dinkeispiel, edi
tor of the Louisville Commercial , consti
tuting the committee appointed for that
purpose, called on Gov. Cleveland this
afternoon, and extended a cordial invita
tion to him to attend the Louisville Ex
position, now in progress. The Governor
listened to their requgst, and while ex
pressing a great desire to see the South,
could not give the committee much en
couragement that he would accept their
invitation, as the duties of the executive
office were too pressing. During the first
part of next month the Governor intends
to make a trip to Buffalo. He has no
other engagements that will take him
away from the capital.
Hendricks at. Home.
Indianapolis, Sept. 19.—Ex-Gov. Hen

shaking experienced in the railway wreck
of Wednesday, but will go to Hamilton,
Ohio, to-morrow and deliver an address.

Mrs. Jackson Apt to Recover —Two Fires
in a Day.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 19.—Mrs. Thomas
31. Jackson, who was fired upon and se
riously wounded by her husband night
before last, is to-night reported in an im
proving condition, although yet not re
moved from danger of dying. McDonald,
who was wounded at the same time by
Jackson, is getting on as well as could be
expected. He is, however, still suffering a
great deal of pain from the wound in his
back. The chances are that he will get
well.
The Thirty-fifth Senatorial District Con
vention met here to-day and nominated
V . O. Tignor, of Clayton, by acclamation.
The Atlanta base ball club will play a

3V. A. Huff, late proprietor of the 3lark

tel at Gainesville for 2 years, with the
privilege oi retaining it longer if he de
sires. He will operate his new venture
with New Holland Springs and build a
street car line between Gainesville aud
New Holland, a distance of about 3
miles. Hugh L. Porter, at present immedi
ate manager ol New Holland, will have
charge oi both enterprises.
TWO FIRES IN A DAY.
Atlanta had two fires to-day. The first
one broke out at 3 o’clock this morning,
and was caused by the burning of two
cottages on Hunnicutt street owned by
James Bent. The cottages were unoccu
pied, and the impression prevails that the
tire owes its origin to an incendiarv.
They were valued at SBOO and were covered
by insurance.
The second fire was the burning of a
two-story brick resilience on 31arietta
street opposite the Atlanta Cotton Mills,
owned jointly by Edward Cairo, 3fichael
Ragan and Lavender Ray. The building
was valued at SB,OOO and was partially
insured. The damage is estimated at
$3,000.
Joseph S. Bean, Captain of the Clinch
Rifles of Augusta, has forwarded his re
signation to the Governor, which was re
ceived to-day. Bad health is the cause of
the resignation being handed in.
Ex-District Attorney J. C. Jenkins,
who a short time ago was nominated as
the Republican candidate for Congress in
this (the Fifth) district, will in all pro
liability make the race against N. J.
Hammond, as he has received assurance
from the other wing of the Republicans
that his candidacy will be recognized.*
The straighout Republicans meet here
3londay, when it is believed that Jenkins’
candidacy will be indorsed.
DeKalb’s first bale was brought in and
sold here to-day at 10 cents per pound.
NOT A FIG FOR PUBLIC DUTY.
All the Republican Government Officials
Off Doing Henchmen’s Work.
Washington, Sept. 19.—Official ab
senteeism has never been carried to a
greater extent than it has been this year.
Nearly all the members of the cabinet
have already been away from their de
partments over two months, and the
White House has been deserted even
longer than that. The various heads of
the bureaus and assistant secretaries
have been absent over a month, and will
remain away perhaps a month longer for
the purpose of doing political work.
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley has al
ready spent more than a month away from
his office, and he will devote the coming
three or four w’eeks in active political
work in Ohio and Indiana, ilany of his
subordinate officers and clerks and agents
are likewise engaged, and in the mean
time the work of this important office is
neglected, and neglected at a time when
thousands of claimants are anxiously
awaiting the adjustment of their claims,
and at a time, too, when Republican
stump orators are prating of
their professed monopoly of caring
for the disabled soldiers and
the widows and the orphans
of the nation’s dead. Commissioner of
Patents Butterworth was complaining to
Congress ail last session that his office
was overworked, and that he ought to
have a large increase of clerical force to
keep his business in hand. Yet he has
spent weeks away from his post. Part of
the time he has been in New York, part
ot the time in Jlaine. and now he is in
Ohio devoting his energies to politics.
Judge Lawrence, First Comptroller of the
Treasury, another Ohio man, has also
gone home to take the stump for Blaine,
and scores of officers and clerks are being
sent to that State by the Blaine managers
to do political work.
CLEVELAND’S GAINS.
Good Reports Received from Illinois
and New York.
Washington, Sept. 19.—Representa
tive Stevens, of New York, arrived in this
city this morning, and will probably take
charge of things at the Democratic head
quarters while Secretary Post goes home
for a short time. He says that Cleve
land’s strength in New York is increas
ing all the time, and that he will certain
ly carry the State. Lawrence 31. Ennis,
of Chicago, is in the city. He is a leading
Democrat and speaks hopefully of Demo
cratic success in Illinois. He says that
the young Democrats of Chicago
have on all their business cards
the motto: “Cleveland and R-form.
Hendricks and Revenge.” He thinks
that Congressman Finertv will be beaten
because he has declared for Blaine. The
ex-Appointment Clerk of the Treasury
Butler, who was placed at the head of the
appointment division by Seoret.ary Fol
ger. arid who resigned a short time since
to enter into private business, has come
out for Cleveland. He is a stalwart of
the New. York stalwarts. He attended
Secretary Folger’s funeral, and on
his return, a couple of days ago, he said
to his friends: “1 have always been a
stalwart Republican, but I shall support
Cleveland. Many of my friends and other
stalwarts in New York feel as 1 do about
the matter.”
SLAIN BY A HUNTER.
A Young Boy Shat Dead for Refusing
to Carry a Beer Keij.
Lynchburg, Ya., Sept. 19.—Greal ex
citement has been caused in Amherst
county by the unprovoked murder of
Samuel 3litchell, aged 10, years, a son of
a respectable farmer residing a few miles
from this city. The boy, accompanied by
two others, was in search <>f cows, when
they came across a hunter’s camp in the
woods. There were three men at the
camp, and one of them, George Fortune,
ordered Mitcliell to carry a beer keg for
him. The hoy refused, and Fortune shot
and instantly killed him. The man fled,
hut was captured at his home near here
la-t night. He claims that the cun was
discharged accidentally, but the two boys,
who witnessed the tragedy, say that it
was deliberate murder. Ail the men were
drunk.
PRIDDY POISONED.
Sporting Men Charge Oarsman Norris’
Friends With Crookedness.
Pittsburg, Sept. 19.—Since the last
race between Norris, of Boston, and
I’riddy, of Pittsburg, on Saturday last,
there have been a number of unsavory ru
mors afloat in regard to Priddv’s treat
ment. On Monday he was reported to be
sick, and he went to Springdale, Pa., to
recuperate. Yesterday he was brought
home with both arms so completely para
lyzed that a galvanic battery had no effect
on them. It is now openly charged in
sporting circles thatPriddy was tampered
with by some persons before the race, and
that if he had been in good condition the
result would have been different. Priddy
is matched to row Clayton on Saturday,
but won’t be in condition to do so. His
friends are trying to arrange for a post
ponement.
A HANGING AT CHICAGO.

GRESHAM’S PLANS.
It is His I 'tent ton Not to Resign from
the Cabinet Before 3larch.
Washington, Sept. 19.—1n regard to
tbe received report that Postmaster Gen

Judge Drummond’s place on the Circuit
bench, it may be said that Gen. Gresh
am’s own statement is: “I propose to
remain in President Arthur’s Cabinet
until the 4th of next 3larcb.”
There is reason to believe
that the Drummond rumor is
revived by enemies of Gen. Gresham in
Indiana, who want to place him in the
attitude of delaying the acceptance of
Judge Drummond’s resignation for his
own purposes. Gen, Gresham will, it is
believed, when his service in the Post
Office Department ends ,aecept the posi
tion in ex-Senator McDonald’s law firm
at Ind anapolis, which has been open for
years. This firm stands in the front rank
at the ludlana bar.
