i>. B. Paxton, one of the most prominent
producers *,f naval store* in the State his tur
l>ent ne farm covering about 7,000 acre
claims that his business ha been greatly in
jured by the o|**ration* of the railroad com
mission law of Georgia, Upon being inter
viewed by capt. Waller, of the Thomasville
Enterprise. Mr. Paxton *aid: “The great
trouble in the way is simply this: We cannot
ship low grades of rosins at all, lie*-au.se the
railroads, underexisting laws, cannot afford
to do so at anything like livingrate*. The ef
fect is that we can only operate virgin forest*
one year, and then must abandon them.
If inferior rosins could be handled the forest*
could lx- worked with profit at least 15 year*.
I hat has been the experience for generations
Past in North < arolina and elsewhere. The
lo— to the country by the rapid exhaustion of
our pine forests can hardly be estimated. The
loss which result* from our inability to con
tinue the manufacture of liie inferior grade*
of rosins is the lorn of a steady annual income
to the country. If the pine tree* could be
ui ilizetl year after year, and it were profitable
to prote< t them from the ravage* of fire, they
‘ otild lie retailed every few year*. Once
burned. however, they are worth
!e-s for naval stores purpose* ever
afterwards. The individual losses to distil
lers. too, can hardly be estimated, as prices
vary, -sometime* the profits would he greater,
-om< times Is**, but the average receipt* from
tin- source would always be considerable. At
pre-ent the losse* mus't always be great, as
every year the old boxes, now useless, might
easily be made profitable. Being ready cut,
there would lie nothing to do hut cultivate
them. I attribute this to the railway com
mission law as it stands at present, and to the
action of the commission in their regulation
of rates. The rates of the railways have fre
lucnlly lieen too high for a profitable produc
tion of naval store*: but formerly when this
" * ■ shown, the companies would equalize
matter-by allowing us rebates. Under the
pre-ent laws, however, they cannot do this.
The Itailwav Commission cannot force the
railway companies to transport inferior ros
ins at lower rate*, so as to make their produc
tion profitable, without increasing the rates
on higher grades, because the commission re
quires the company to regulate their rates
according to distance, and as the rates now
from -hori distances from .Savannah amount
to almost nothing, the companies must he al
lowed enough on long hauls to make up their
losses on short distances. The commission
require this to prevent, as they say, unju-t
discrimination against any point. If the
rates were reduced to us, they would, on a
basis of distance, run out to nothing before
■savannah was reached. The railway com
mission law has worked and is
working very di-astrously to the naval
-tores interests of .South Georgia. If the pres
ent condition of affairs continues the industry
mii-t be wound up. lb-fore the coinnii-siou
law existed we paid ID cents per barrel from
Ocbioekonec to savannah. Now we payißl,
cents, or a difference of It** cen’s per barrel.
Tin* makes me pay on an annual average pro
duct of about k.i w) barrels 11,'sina yt ar more
than the railway company wanted me to pay
w hen they hel control of their own business,
and in those days the industry had not as
sumed anything iike its present proportions,
and naval stores brought better prices. I*er
soually, I am in favor of going back
to first principles and allowing the
roads to matuge tbelr own affair*.
I'he commission does not know anything at
all about the nature and requirements of the
naval stores industry. I don’t suppose they
know the real difference between a barrel of
pitch and a barrel ol rosin, or the process and
cost of making either. Therefore itisimpo--
sible for them to properly regulate rates, ft
w ill take but a few years under the existing
Mate of affairs for the whole pine section of
southern Georgia to be exhausted, the forests
to !• worthless, and the manufactureof naval
-tore* to le an obsolete business. Last year
there was an immense overproduction of vir
gin rosins because of the unprofitableness of
turning out inferior grades. This not only
caused 10-s to producers and low price*, but
has also caused a rapid and useless exhaustion
of our pine forest*.”

A TALK WITH MRS. LOUliWOOl).
Her Conversation ami Dignified Views
oil Public Men.
Mrs. Belva Lockwood said yesterday,
says a Washington sjieeial of Sept. 30,
that it was true she hail invited the other
Presidential candidates to a conference at
Wheeling, W. Va., on Oct. 10. She said it
was for the purpose of coming to some un
derstanding, so that scandal should be
eliminated from the campaign and the
contest fought out on principles. Bhe
said she felt that she could take a position
in the matter, because she is the only one
of the Presidential candidates that terri
ble stories were not circulated about.
Mrs. Lockwood said she was more and
more mixed up every day as to the rela
tive strength of the parties, and could not
tell just now who is truing to b* elected
President, but that they all had hoi>es.
She said there is only one thing certain
about the entire campaign, and that was
that the candidates ot the equal rights
partv were the lest looking. “Now,”
said she, handing a photograph, “there is
a photo,raph of Mrs. Stowe,ol California,
wbo has been nominated for Vice Presi
dent on the ticket with xne. She is an un
usually band some lady, and it is gener
al!) admitted that the candidate for Presi
dent is not bad looking.”
•■i am still receiving letters,” she con
tinued, “by the hundreds asking tor amo
ral'hs. photographs and documents, and
some of them are very interesting. Now
here is one Iroiu a man in Chicago. He
addresses me as Miss Lockwood, and says
that he would like to vote for me, but that
he is afraid that 1 am not old enough to
be President. Why, l ant Just exactly
ihe right age. I am not very old
either, but I atn old enough to have
taught Representative George A.
post, of Pennsylvania, who makes a
speech in Baltimore to-night, when he
wa* a boy. He attended my school in
Oswego, New York. Mr. Post is Secre
tary ot the National Democratic Com
niiuee. has lieen a good Congressman,
and is n nr.t-cjass gentleman in every
particular. He was ree Jjgndsomest boy
who"'came to my school the*e, and 1
was always proud of him. lie is as good
a man as he was a boy. The only had
thing that can lie said about hint is that
he i> a Democrat. 1 had expected better
of him than that.
- Yds. I rather think I am old enough,
judging from the letters 1 am receiving
every dav from men who when lul*e came
to inv school. It is uot true, however,
that ’Mr. Cleveland ever attended my
school, as some of the papers have stated.
1 know all the other candidates well, but
1 have never even seen Mr. Cleveland.
There is one thing that can be said also,
and that ifi that I have received en
couraging letter* from women and men
from every Southern state, notwithstand-
: n'" it is thought people down there are
oa*rt \ -Bound and non-progressive. The
only annonymoU* Liter I have received
out of them all wa signed ‘Ameneus,
and came from Baltimore. It recom
mended a Georgia lady as a candidate for
Vice President.”

A Bullet Crashes tuts a Railroad Car in
which He was Hiding.
Terre Haute, lxD.,Oct. -. —A special
from Sullivan, Ind., says: “Some person
tired into tbe car in which Gov. St. John

Governor, making a clean hole, and lodged
iu the aide of the car a little in front of
him. The trait was just slowing up south

in* exactly 8 o'clock. The Goyo.-apr took
the matter coolly. No disturbance w.s
made and many 'persons on the-tram were

CLEVELAND AT BUFFALO.
HIS RECEPTION THE MOST EN
THI SIATIC OF THE FALL.
All the Principal Cities Between Albany
and Buff alo Pay their Tribute to the
Passing Candidate—Men of all Parties
Participate in the Reception at his
Home.
Buffalo, Oct. 2.—Gov. Cleveland and
party left Albany for Buffalo at 1:20 o’clock
this afternoon on a special train, consist
ing of an engine and one drawing-room
ear. The party consisted of Erastus
Corning. Mayor Banks of Albany, Hon.
S. W. Rosendale, Gen. Austin Lathrop,
Hon. John A. McCall, anil several news
paper representatives. A crowd of sev
eral hundred persons had assembled at
the station to see him off and these gave
hitn an enthusiastic God speed. Ladies
waved their handkerchiefs, men
shouted and locomotive whistles were
tooted. Gov. Cleveland stood on the
rear platform and waved his adieus to
the throng. The w eather, which bad been
threatening all the morning, cleared off.
and all the omens pointed to a prosperous
and successful journey. At West Albany,
where located are the great carshops of the
New York Central Railroad, hundreds of
workmen, fresh from forge and bench,
waved greetings to the train as it whisked
by, some of the men shouting, waving
their grimy aprons and swinging their
rrms. with their hands still bolding tools.
The speed of the train averaged fifty miles
an hour, and several miles were made at
the rate of City-five seconds to the mile.
The greeting of the assembled crowd at
Utica was particularly cordial, and
though Gov. Cleveland made his appear
ance and bowed his acknowledgments, he
made no remarks. He was in excellent
health and spirits.
SYRACUSE GOES WILD.
The train was due in Syracuse at 4:35
o’clock, but pulled into' the city fifteen
minutes ahead of time. An immense con
course was at the depot, men, women and
childen jostling each other in their at
tempt to get a glimpse of the Governor.
Hundreds of school boys, books and slates
in hand, ran for blocks' up the track in the
wake of the train from the Syracuse iron
works. As the train passed at a slow
speed through the city limits, workmen
came out and waved enthusiastic greet
ings. The depot in the vicinity of the
train was packed, as were the streets
leading to it. In answer to repeated calls.
Gov. Cleveland appeared on the rear
platform. Cheer after cheer greeted him.
Gov. Cleveland lifted his bat
and bowed his acknowledgments. The
enthusiasm continued unabated while the
train remained in the depot, which was
just long enough to make a change of en
gines. At Syracuse also a substitution of
conductors was made. The following tele
gram was handed to the Governor:

A special train consisting of twenty-four
cars with the Syracuse Phalanx and es
cort, two leading Democratic campaign
organizations, each 100 strong, with about
too citizens, left Syracuse at 11 a. m. lor
Buffalo.
OFF FOR ROCHESTER.
Gov. Cleveland’s special train steamed
out of the depot just on time. The Gover
nor was standing on the platform and
acknowledged the greeting as long as he
remained in sight of the people. Ro
chester was reached at G p. m. At the
depot, in spite of the fact that a drizzling
ram was falling, several hundred
people congregated. Go\. Cleveland ap
lieared on the rear platform and was
cheered to the echo. It was learned
that a few hours previous a special train
of 27 cars, carrying numerous representa
tives of Democratic campaign organiza
tion*, and several hundred citizens had
left Rochester for Buffalo to participate
in the grand demonstration in the Gover
nor's honor. The weather continued very
disagreeable, rain falling in a determined
Irizzle. Notwithstanding this, three car
loads of the representative citizens of
Buffalo boarded the train at 4:30 for
Batavia to meet the train which was to
bring Gov. Cleveland and bis party to
Buffalo.
AN OVATION AT BATAVIA.
There were present a large immlier of
Independent Republicans and others who
are usually unknown in politics—business
men, bankers, live stock dealers,
merchants, representing the business
community of Buffalo. There was a feel
ing of great determination among the
representative men that is seldom seen.
Tlie reception given to tho Governor was
a warmly cordial one. The Governor was
in excellent spirits, and the arrival of the
train at Batavia was received with
cheers, the different organizations
crowding around the ear and shout
ing lor" Cleveland. As he appeared
on th? platform, hat in hand, such cheers
a* Batavia never before heard went up,
the Governor smiling and simply content
ing himself with bowing his thanks. Men
without distinction of party crowded to
the platform to shake his hand. The train
stopped but a few minutes. The special
train which had brought the Buffalo
gation was attached, and the train sped
on its way to Buffalo. Kn route the Gov
ernor went tlirougU the train chatting
pleasantly w ith friends and neighbors and
receiving their many congratulations.
THE ARRIVAL AT BUFFALO.
The train iiearing the Governor and
partv arrived in East Buffalo at 8:15
o’clock, 5 minutes ahead of time. The
first loud voiced welcome was tho con
tinous shrieks of locomotive whistles.
The train steamed slowlv into the depot,
which was reached at 8:35 o’clock. A
drizzling rain which set in etrly in the
morning and continued with but brief
intermissions throughout the whole day
was still falling, but seen-ed to
have no terrors for the multitudt who
thronged the streets leading to tbe dspot,
and the depot itself, until they were tb
solutelv impassable. Tumultuous ehei-.
ing greeted the Governor’* car, and tht
din was kept up without inter
mission everywhere until after
its arrival into tbe depot.
The Governor’s appearance on the plat
form of the car was a signal tor renewed
cheering. Together with the party that
had accompanied him, the Governor
walked to the Exchange street entrance
to the depot, where a handsomely deco
rated coach, to which were attached
eight white horses, driven by a liyeried
coachman, was in waiting. The Governor,
accompanied by Mayor J. Scoville, Hon.
Daniel N. Lockwood, who nominated
Cleveland at Chicago, and Winfield
Robins, of Buffalo, stepped into the
vehicle, which at once joined a grand pro
cession on Michigan street.
A CONTINUOUS OVATION,
llis progress was one continued ova
tion. Tne principal streets were jammed,
sidewalk and street, with a cosmopolitan
crowd. Men and women stood, many of
them without protection from the rain,
waiting for the procession to pass, There
was little jostling and no disturbance.
Democrats. Republicans, and men of ev
ery shade of political belief vied with each
other in honoring their distinguished fel
low citizen. Republicans cheered as
loudly as Democrats, seeming to forget
their "political differences in the grand en
thusiasm of the hour. The streets
throughout the line of march were crowd
ed with thousands. Stores and houses
were illuminated as never before seen in
Buffalo,
Chinese lanterns in profuse abundance
hung from windows, etc., in elaborate
style. On Main street the sight was truly
inspiring, as it was also on many others.
Roman candles were profusely burned,
sky rockets lit up the scene, while people
cheered themselves hoarse. At the Gene
see House, on the side of which in bold
letters hung a huge transparency in
scribed. “Our Citizen Governor and Presi
dent-Buffalo Greets Thee,” tbe sight was
a >*rand one. From Exchange street to
HOta street, a distance of three miles,
everv store was decorated with lanterns.
The German insurance building, tbe
stores of Barnes, Bancroft, etc.,
were one mass of elaborate decorations.
Down Genesee street tor a mile was one
blaze of light. Some little delay was
caused in the moving, and at 9:30 o’clock,
in the face of the rain, the procession
started. The appearance of the Governor
in his chariot with an honorary guard,
composed of 16 members of the Cleveland
Phalanx, was the signal for cheers, the
Governor standing and, with bared head,
bowing to the great multitude present.
Arming at the Genesee House, his car
riage halted for a moment, and then pro
ceeded in the line of march.
SOME OF THE TRANSPARENCIES.
Among the many transparencies were:
“A public otfice is a secret.”
“We owe much to the German element
among the people.”
“This is the reverend doctor (with a
representation in brackets of a large black
ball) to go over the falls.”
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1884.
“W'e are bound to conquer.'*
“No Maine law for us.”
“W e don’t have to cast an anchor to
windward.”
“Protect American labor by voting for
Cleveland.”
“Destiny is on the side of right.”
“Republican promises—high taritl' and
low bread. Republican results—no work,
no bread.”
”3.000 workmen unemployed.”
‘•Burn these letters.”
It was lo minutes past 11 o’clock when
the Governor’s carriage arrived again op
posite the Gent see House, and still the
columns passed without any apparent in
dications that the end was near. The
Governor and party alighted and entered
the hotel, and it was nearly three-quar
ters of an hour before the last organiza
tion passed. The column was two hours
and ten minutes in passing the Genesee
House, and it is estimated that there were
tuliv 15,000 persons in line. In
the square opposite the Genesee House
many thousands had congregated, and
the appearance of the Governor on the
platform was the signal for wild and tu
multuous cheering that fairly made the
buildings tremble. 1 lie Governor stood
with thequncovered 70-years-of-age Presi
dent of the Manufacturers’and Traders
Bank, and the oldest banker in the city
as well as the oldest < x-conduetor in the
country, who welcomed him to the city.
MR. MARTIN’S SPEECH.
Mr. Martin said:
Gov. Cleveland, in behaif of the thronging
multi'ude of your old friend* ami neighbors,
I welcome you home to-uight. Vou came to
oar city a boy; you learned your profession
tiere, and lor more Hum twenty years you
have gone in and out before u* respected and
trusted and honored b> nil. In thecourse of
time public need demanded you, and, regard
h-a of party affiliation*, ue elected vou our
Mayor. Singleness of purpose, rigid honesty,
a faithful discharge of duty, unpretentious,
yet ever watchful and careful of the public
iMerests which marked your administration’
of our local affairs, led the people of this
proud State, by an unexcelled majority, to
elect you as their Chief .Magistrate.
While you have In-id it ton have liad the
public eye turned fully at times on you as a
prominent candidate for the Presidency, an t
at a period remar-ahie in the demand for
pure and good government and re
form of tlie ohl alms*-* you have
steadily pursued your way, deciding
every question which has arisen out of the
manifold affairs of tlie needs of this great
commonwealth, or which has been urged to
the front by cunning opponents, with that
same integrity of purpo*o and thoughtful
care which marked your career here at home.
FIDELITY’S REWARD.
Again lias fidelity to duty produced its re
sults, and we welcome you 10-niglit, the Presi
dential candidate of a great party and thou
sands upon thousands w iio recognize the de
mand of the public service as superior to
party ties: and we, your old friends and
neighbors, sir, bearing towards you a full
measure of personal esteem, rejoice to know
that in tins bitter campaign not one
reputable ma-i has yet been able to
point to one solitary official act of your
administration and pronounce it subiect to
just criticism, and that not one reputable man
lias lieen heard to say that in any one single
official act you have made the interest of
party or of seif superior to the public good.
<>r for one-instant forgotten that your office
was a sacred and solemn trust to tie adminis
tered fur the best interests of the whole peo
ple. We believe, sir, that the calm, good
sense of tlie nation is with you to-night; that
rectitude and trust and oarncstnessof purpose
ami fidelity to duty and firmness in the dis
charge of duty are at this date ami time re
cognized as essential in the Chief Executive
of the republic, and that surely and
rcsistlessly the current of public
sentiment is doing its perfect work,
which shall end in your triumphal
election. We congratulate you. sir, from our
hearts upon the success w hich has marked
your past career and upon 1 lie assurances of
coming victory, and we welcome ou to the
city whose chief pride to-night is in the fact
that it is tlie home of Grover Cleveland.
CLEVELAND’S RESPONSE.
Gov. Cleveland responded as follows:
Fellow-Citizens: I can hardiy tell the
people of Buff alo how I rejoice to-night, and
how grateful 1 am for this demons! rat ion of
the confidence and esteem of my friends and
fellow-citizens. 1 have reside'i many years
among you and in this city, whcic ail my sne
er ss in private life has been achieved, for
nearly thirty years. To-night I come to
you alter the longest ahs- nee that has oc
curred in all lhat time, an I yet within the
few weeks that have pas-ed since I saw you
last, an event na* happened of supreme im
portance to me and that plares me within the
nation's gaze. The honor it las hr -oglu to
me I ask my fellow-townsmen to share. I ac
knowledge with grateful heart all that they
in part have done for me. [Applause.] But
two short vears ago you stood steadily by my
side in every effort of mine, as chief execu
tive of our city, to advance its interests and
welfare. Whatever 1 was able to accomplish
of value to this community was largely due to
\our strong and intelligent support. Nor can
I ever forget the generous indorsement yon
gave my candidacy f r the high office which I
now hold in the State, and I assure you that
in its administration I have received no
greater encouragement than the approval of
my friends at home.
LIFE’S PLEASANTEST EMOTIONS.
What I have seen and heard to-night has
touched me deeply. It tells me that my neigh
bors are still my friends, and assures me th t
I have not been altogether unsuccessful in
my efforts to deserve their confidence and at
tachment. In years to come I shall deem my
self not far wrong if I still retain their good
opinion, ami if surrounding cares and per
plexities bring but anxiety aud vexa
tion. 1 shall find solace ant comfort
in the memory of days spent here and
in recalling the kindness of ray Buffalo
friends. But other friends arc here to
night. and to all who tender their welcome
I extend heartfelt greeting as citizens with
me of the greatest commonwealth in the
sisterhood of States, and one immensely in
terested in the general weal. Because I love
my State and her people. I can’t refrain from
reminding y° u s,ie should lie in the van
ol every movement which promises a safer
and lietter administration, so closely related
to her prosperity and greatness. [ Applause.]
And let me leave you with the thought that
your safety lies in impressing on the endeavor
of those intrusted with the guardianship of
your rights and interest, pure, perfect and
exacting popular sentiment. Tlie character
of government can hardly rise higher than
tlie surface fr< m which it springs, and tlie in
tegrity and faithfulness of public servants are
not apt to be better ttian the people demand.
[Great cheering.]

went on to say a good word lor the Re
publican State and Congressional tick
ets. When he came to speak of the
Republican candidate for the Presidency,
he was proceeding to describe him when
his voice was drowned by cries or
“Blaine!” “Blaine!” “JamesG. Blaine!”

VIRGINIA’S CHIVALRY.
Tlie True Friends of the State Urged
to ltally Against Radical Rascals.
Alexandria, Va., Oct. 2.—The Demo
cratic State Executive Committee ot Vir
ginia issued an address to-day to the
Democratic voters of that State*, setting
forth the importance to the Common
wealth of the results involved in the ap
proaching national election, and urging
earnest and thorough preparation for the
stiuggle. The committee says:
The position of Virginia in the Democratic
column of the Union must lie retained, or the
old state will reverse its past tradition, and
imperil, t > a great degree, its present aud fu
ture prospect* of moral, social ami material
prosperity. Our very civilization ia at state.
Not content with the platform aud principle*
of the National Republican party, the man
agement of that political organization in Vir
ginia, through its chosen chief, has descended
to the low plane of an attu k upon the Demo
cratic party, in the allegation that the result
of the la-t election was brought about by pre
soneerted plans to intimidate colored voters
by violence and bloodshed, as manifested by
tlie unfortunate riot between the races at
Danril e. This malignant charge is not
only without foundation in fact and in truth,
and umupp .rted hy any evidence which
could inlluem e an impartial public sentiment,
but is brought forward only to inllamc the
passions and prejudice* of the colored people
to induce them to throw tlieir vote* at the
polls in inass against the Democratic party,
ami to excite sectional animosities elsewhere.
THE IDEAS OF CARPET-BAGGERS.
It i* but a repetition of the policy pursued
by carpet-bagger* of past years in which the
negroes were sought to he used by concentra
tion to dominate the majority element of the
white population of the State.
The whole thing in substance and effect
means that a minority of the white people
proiiosc to combine with tlie united negro vote
to control the voice of Virginia and make it a
Republican State. It means also, if success
ful, supremacy hereafter in both State and
Federal afi'airs, and the restoration to power
of the party whose capacity for future mis
chief will be only partially measured hy its
past transactions and history. W'e appeal
with confidence to the Democratic party of
Virginia, which accomplished such glorious
results in the last campaign, to look to their
laurels, and to stand hy the cause. No ques
tion of taiiff or of Federal policy must be
pcrmittlil to divide our party at this time.
More important and vital consequences to
the people of Virginia and to the country are
involved. There is every incentive to exer
tion on the part of the Democratic party of
Virginia, and its failure to respond at liiis
crisis of our political fate would be the source
of incalculable future loss, and of permanent
State amt national injury.
AEG WANT TO READ OF BLAINE.
The Thinking Voters In tho Western Re
serve Evidently on the Right Tuck.
Washington, Oct. 2.—A very large
mail was received at the Democratic
headquarters this morning from ail parts
of the country. The majority of the re
quests for documents were for Mr. Post’s
speeches concerning the Treasury ac
counts and defalcations, the Mulligan
letters and Curtin’s speeches upon the
land question. The publication concern
ing Blaine’s connection with tbe Kecking
Valley coal mines is being extensively
circulated in Ohio, and Neal Dow’s letter,
which appeared this morning, in which
the writer claims the result in Maine as a
glorious victory for prohibition, and says
that Blaine told him that ho refrained
from voting ou that question at the urgent
request of prominent Ohio Republicans on
account oi tbe bigoted Germans, has all
ready been telegraphed all through the
ar.ti-Prouibition section of the State.
The editor of the Rock Rapid Itenievo
writes to Secretary Post that lowa can be
carried for Cleveland if the proper effort
is made. He says that they do not need
money, but wantdocuments. The fusion,
he says, is strong. Documents concern
ing lard steals, free trade speeches, and
Blaine’s Mulligan letters are read with
interest by every one who can get hold ol
them, aud the effect produced is remark
able.

BITCH AN AVS STATEMENT.
He Return* to Louisville and Svi the
Charges of Crowkedness Will he Ex
ploded.
Louisville. K y., Oct. 2.—lt has been
made known by an official that
duplicated receipts for 3,(XX) barrels of
whisky have been found during the inves
tigation into the affairs of the Newoomb-
Buchanan Company. The Trust Com
pany has refused to make public the
names of the victims. George Buchanan,
who has lieen missing since the assign
ment, is supposed to be in the city. The
Evening Times says: “We have lieen au
thorized to state, on the authority
of George Buchanan himself, that irregu
larities in the business of the Newcomb-
Kuchanan company in the matter
of duplicated warehouse receipts involve
from 4.000 to 5,000 barrels of whiskey, on
which from $40,000 to $50,000 was realized,
and that the books of the company will
account for every dollar of money thus
raised and show that every cent of it was
tised in the company's efforts to tide over
the breakers in which the firm was
involved. Two years ago, when the
Buchanans got an extension from their
creditors, their liabilities amounted to
$1,650,000. In these t\v i years they have
paid off'ssso,ooo of the principal and from
$200,000 to $250,000 in interest. They have
delivered to customer* about 100,000
barrels of whisky, and of the 70,000 barrels
now in bond no complications exist,
except as to 4,000 or 5,000 barrels. They
lielieve that, bv careful administration,
the assets will pay off every dollar of both
corporate and individual debts, and that
if the reasonable expectation of uneariy
revival in the trade is lultilled there will
lie a surplus over all liabilities. These
statements are from Buchanan himself,
and may be relied upon as authentic and
true to the best of his knowledge.”

KILLED ON THE TRACK.
An Atlanta Carpenter Fails to Hear the
Whittle of hii Approaching Train.
Atlanta, Oct. 2.—Tho outward bound
passenger train on the Central Railroad,
this afternoon, about 3 miles from Atlan
ta, ran over and instantly killed James
White, a carpenter of this city. White
was observed walking on the track and
the whistle was blown several times to
notify him of the approaching danger. He
either did not hear the whistle or paid no
heed to it and was killed. White, from
what can be learned, is addicted to drink
ing, and the presumption is that when
killed he was under the influence of liq
uor.
A BROKER ARRESTED.
Nathan Emanuel, a broker of this city,
was arrested this afternoon at tbe in
stance of a firm at Cleveland, Ohio, and
is now confined a; police headquarters.
The cause ot his detention seems to be
that Emanuel has sold about $1,500
worth of cotton bagging for the Cleve
land firm and fails to produce the cash or
its equivalent. The bagging, it is said,
was shipped to Emanuel at Atlanta last
year, and although frequently asked to
render a bill of sale, he has failed to do so.
The arresting officer is under the impres
sion that Emanuel, when taken into cus
tody, was about to leave the city. This is
said to be the second transaction of this
character that has gotten him into trou
ble.

Washington, Oct. 2.—The curbstone
gossips are hard at work. Circuit Judge

arrive here within a few days, by his old
friend Secretary Gresham, to whom he
promised a visit at this time long ago.
His visit has no significance in connec
tion with his successor. It was planned
long before his resignation was
tendered. It was announced to
day by the gossips that the Presi
dent would return to-morrow and
that a Cabinet meeting would then be held
to consider the present vacancy and pos
sible future vacancies in the Cabinet.
This story was all very well until it was
discredited at the White House. The
President had not sent tbe usual message
under which the necessary preparations
for his return would lie made, and the
more important letters in his mail would
as usual he forwarded to him, this even
ing, at Secretary Frelinghuysen’s home in
New Jersey. To-night it is said that the
President will return on Saturday. Mean
while, the gossips are drawing in the Mor
ton rumor and putting out one to the ef
fect lhat either Mr. Boutwell or Mr. Mc-
Culloch will succeed Secretary Gresham.

MeCULLOUGH’S MADNESS.
Hi* Manager ha* a Desperate Struggle
to Keep Him at the Hotel.
t HICAGO, Oct. 2.— A statement is pub
lished here that John McCullough, the
tragedian, has not been informed that all
his engagements have lieen canceled.
After the rehearsal Tuesday he was shown
a letter from Manager MeVicker in which
his illness and consequent inability to do
himself justice were specified as the rea
son for closing the house. The aetor was
lying down at the time, but rose, dressed
himself and in company with his manager
went to Mr. McVieker’s residence. He
was angry at first, but Mr. MeVicker
succeeded apparently in convincing hitn
that the action he had taken was for the
liest, and the tragedian returned to his
hotel and accepted the situation, lie
supposed, however, that his performances
were to be resumed at Detroit, the next
place on the route, and nothing was said
to disabuse him of his error. A careful
watch was kept upou him night and day.
EXCITING EPISODES.
Early yesterday he read what the news
pajairs had to say about him, and in the
afternoon he went to the Tromont House
and told Miss Tracy that he intended to
go to Detroit at once. Bhe persuaded him
to wait until evening. Shortly betore 7
o’clock he ordered his baggage sent to the
depot and proceeded thither himself. His
friends withheld his baggage and two of
Pinkerton’s men followed him. They found
him walking up and down the platform
with Miss Tracy, and in an apparently
calm frame of mind. By a little strategy
Mr. Brooks, his manager, induced him to
enter a carriage, and he was driven track
to the hotel, where ho arrived much ex
cited and angry. He struggled desper
ately and struck Mr. Brooks with his
cane. Another scene followed in Induc
ing him to reach his room. Miss Tracy
followed him to the hotel, crying convul
sively, but she succeeded In calming the
actor and bringing him to realize that he
would not ie in a condition to till engage
ments for some time. Just what Mr. Mc-
Cullough now intends to do could not be
learned.
AT ODDS OVER A MERIDIAN.
The Belief General that no Agreement
will be Reached by the International
Conference.
Washington, Oct. 2. —In the Prime
Meridian Conference to-day, a resolution
was adopted declaring It to bo the opin
ion of the conference that a common
prime meridian for all nations was de
sirable. Prof. Rutherford, one of the
United States delegates, offered a resolu
tion proposing the meridian of Green
wich tor adoption as the standard me
ridian. This resolution met with consid
erable opposition, particularly from the
Frencli delegates. After a good deal of
discussion, in the course of which the
French delegates manifested some feeling
and disposition to resist strenuously the
adoption of Prof. Rutherford’s resolution,
the conference adjourned to Monday,
Oct. 6. The officers ot the United States
Bureau ot Navigation express the opin
ion that the conference will either
adopt the meridian of Greenwich
or come to no agreement whatever, as
neither Great Britain nor the United
States will consent to any other. Each of
these governments, they say, has a large
number of valuable charts which would
he rendered partially useless if a change
were made in the prime meridian, and the
cost of altering them would be not less
than £1,000,000 for Great Britain
and $1,000,000 for the United States.
Whether Congress would agreetosuch an
expenditure for such a purpose is, they
think, doubtful. One of the foreign dele
gates expressed the opinion to-night that
the conference would not be able to come
to any agreement. The French delegates,
be 6aid, manifested a determination not
to consent to the recommendation of the
meridian of Greenwich, and the repre
sentativesof Great Britain and the United
States would not, he thought, be satisfied
with any meridian likely to meet the
views of France.

afternoon says: “Dr. Robert Ward, State
Veterinary Surgeon, has telegraphed to
Gov. Me Lane asking authority to quaran
tine against hogs in Montgomery, Frede

Ward’s visit to Hagerstown on Tuesday
last was to learn that large numbers of
hogs, which had become infected with tbe
disease now prevailing in the above coun
ties, are being slaughtered and shipped to
this city. So far none of the meat, it is
believed, has been put upon the market,
and it is thought that the consignees have
salted it away for future sale. A
prominent merchant of Frederick, in a re
cent letter to a public official here, says
that he js prompted by pure motives and
lor the sake of humanity to inform him
that large quantities of diseased hogs are
being shipped from points in Frederick
county over Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
to this city. Health Commissioner Stew
art, this morning, examined under a mi
croscopeportions of one of the hogs of
Gov. Hamilton’s herd, which died on
Tuesday last, and expressed as his opin

steward, who had assisted in examining
some of the dead animals is now suffering
with a badly diseased sore throat, which
ho ascribes to contact with them.”
