AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
Gov, McDaniel Goea to Washington—
Safe Blowers at Work.
Atlanta, Oct. 11.—Gov. McDaniel left
to-day for Washington, 6a., lor the pur
pose of attending the Baptist Association
Judge Lochrane, who reached here a
few days ago from Ireland, has been call
ed td Chicago to resume work as attorney
for the Allman Car Company.
A gang of *afe blowers broke into a
blacksmith shop last night and stole a
number of tools. W'*\*h these they bored
into the iron sale of O. A. and blew
it open with powder, but did fOt get any
thing as Mr. Smith had taken all the
money out of the safe, about S3OO, and
carried it home with him.
The coal dealers of Atlanta have organ
ized an association tor protection against

The investigation into the City Engin
eer’s office is going oh to-day. The accusa
tion is that Engineer A ngier allowed poor
lumber to be put into a bridge.
Assistant Engineer McDaniel makes the
charge and Second Assistant Boswell
stands up to Engineer Angler. The im
pression seems to be that Angier is try
ing to shove McDaniel out and put Bos
well in. The committee appointed to
make these investigations have not, as
yet, made a report on the Street Commis
sioners’ case.
The City Council last night passed an
ordinance prohibiting dray teams to be
driven faster than a walk within the city
limits. The passage of the ordinance was
advocated on the ground that teams,
when driven faster than a walk, make
too much noise. The action of the Coun
cil is pretty generally ridiculed, as the
absurdity of the scheme is plain to the
most casual observer.
SAVANNAH’S PROTECTION.
Surgeon General Hamilton Makes Sug
gestions to Health Officer McFarland.
Washington, Oct. 11.—The Surgeon
General of the Marine Hospital Service,
in a letter to I>r. J. T. McFarland, the
Health Officer at Savannah, Ga., gives his
views as to the measures necessary to
prevent the introduction of cholera, sub
stantially as follows:
“In the case of a vessel from a port In
fected with cholera at the time of clear
ance arriving at a local port without
having sickness on board during the voy
age, the necessary time of detention
should be that necessary for the muster
ing and inspection of the officers, passen
gers and crew of the vessel, examination of
the cargo, and,if necessary,the disinfection
and cleansing of the ship. Vessels from
suspected ports should be treated in the
same way. The method adopted by the
Belgium" Government for disinfect ; on as
well as fumigation is recommended as
the most practicable for the purpose.
This embraces, first, solution of chloride
of zinc to disinlect dejection; second, a
carbolic acid solution for the washing of
floors and walls; third, sulphate of zinc
for latrines and water closets; fourth, fu
migation with sulphurous acid gas for all
close places on board the ship.”

—Cleveland at Albany Looking A fter
the Interests of the State.
"Whllston, 0., Oct. 11.—At 9 o’clock
this morning Blaine left Ironton to go up
through the Hocking valley. The work
men of the National mills came out bare
armed and bare breasted and cheered as
he passed. At Oakhill there was a con
siderable crowd, composed largely of
workingmen. Beside the track they had
erected a platform ol pig iron on which
Blaine stood. He began a brief speech
by saying; "I stand on the same platform
on which 1 stood in Congress for 20 years,
a platform which enables iron to be made
in our own country instead of England.”
This was received with great cheers. The
remainder of his speech was devoted to
the bearing of the tariff on the iron in
dustry.
LOGAN AT CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, Oct. 11.— Gen. Logan
reached this city during the afternoon
and was met at the depot by a body of 400
veteran soldiers, who, with a baud of
music, escorted the General to a hotel.
Upon his arrival there the square was
quickly tilled with a dense crowd, to
whom Gen. Logan appeared and made a
brief address, which was received with
loud applause. To-night he was escorted
to Music Hall, where an audience
tilling the whole house was in waiting.
Many ladies were present. On the ap
pearance of Gen. Logan at the main en
trance a scene of the wildest enthusiasm
ensued and was kept up for fully 10 min
utes. Gen. Noyes called the meeting to
order and announced Gen. Hickenlooper
for Chairman. The latter then introduced
Gen. Logau, referring to their service
together during the war, and especially
to Gen. Logan’s brilliant services at the
battle of Atlanta, when he succeeded
McPherson in command of the army of
Tennessee. Cheering from the 7,000 peo
ple in the hall greeted Gen. Logan’s ap
pearance as he rose to speak.
ANSWERING HENDRICKS.
lie went directly into an answer of ex-
Gov. Hendricks’ speech of the night lie
fore and then took up the subject of the
tariff, making the assertion that Gov.
Hendricks’ speech was an open declara
tion of free trade. He was bitter against
Mr. Hendricks for trying to array the
Germans against Blaine, and’ re
ferring to Senator Bayard’s insinuation
that Republicans were about to buy
votes in Ohio, said that it came with bad
grace from a man from the South to talk
to Ohio about a fair ballot, when it was
known that if Democratic hands and
shotguns could be kept off the ballot boxes
in the South they could not carry seven
States. The speaker closed with an ap
peal for the support of, the Republicau
Statt and Congressional ticket.
BLAINE’S AUDACITY.
Jere Black’s Expressed Opinion on the
Reading of the Mulligan Letters.
Washington, Oct. 11. —Lawyer James
Coleman, who as Gen. Keifer’s counsel in
his late investigation employed the no
torious witnesses Elder Works and
Charles Garfield, has printed an affidavit
in which he claims that at the end of the
conference between Judge Black, ex-
Senator Carpenter and Mr, Blaine, in
which these lawyers advise;’ y, ai}Ki
that he had a right to retain possession of
the Mulligan letters, Mr, Carpenter told
him that they had both said to Mr. Blaine
that there was nothing in the letters the
world might not know, and that
he was going to read them
in the House - of Representatives
the next morning. In absolute contra
diction of this, so far as J udge Black is
concerned, friends of his here who w ere
with him the day Blaine read the Mulli
gan letters, declare that Judge Black on
being told of it declared it to be impossi
ble that Blaine had read them all, as there
were some he could never afford to read.
On learning what he had really read
Judge Black intimated that it was not all,
and added that “Blaine was the most au
dacious man he ever knew.”
OHIO AND NEW YORK.
Democratic Certainty of Carrying Both
States Increasing Daily.
Washington, Oct. 11. —Republicans
who are just back from Ohio tell their
friends here that Ohio is not a State to

odds that they will carry Ohio and find no
takers.

watching the situation in New York
returned from there this morning
and called at the Democratic headquarters
here. He has bad a confidential talk with
members of the National Committee in
New York and was present at the “busi
ness demonstration.” He says that there
is now no doubt about Cleveland’s carry
ing the 'date of New York. There is a
general reaction in his favor which has
sprung up within the last few days with
remarkable activity, and everybody about
the Democratic headquarters there is
perfectly confident. The business men of
New York, he says, are coming out bold
ly for Cleveland.

were densely packed, and great interest
was displayed. After a rest of about
fifteen minutes the General made bis ap
pearance on one of the lower balconies.
He was greeted with three very hearty
cheers. After thanking the people for
their cordial welcome he delivered an ad
dress that was confined almost exclusive
ly to the rights of workingmen, the op
pression they were subjected to by the
monopolists’of the country and how a rem
edy could te effected. He was particu
larly severe on the Standard Oil Company,
and spoke about the couduct ot the Demo
crats towards his resolutions in the inter
est of the working classes at the Chicago

GEORGIA’S CROP REPORT.
Cotton and Sweet Potatoes Injured by
Drought During the Last Mouth.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 11.—From the ad
vance sheets of the September crop re
ports of Georgia the News correspondent
takes the following: The cotton crop of
North Georgia, in comparison with an
average crop, is reported at 66, Middle
Georgia and Southwest Georgia 66,
East Georgia 66, Southeast Georgia
78, and the average for the
State 68. There has been a remarkable
deterioration in the condition of the crop
caused by rust and shedding since the
last month’s report. The reports from
North and Middle Georgia tall below that
of last month 18 points. Southwest Geor
gia 16 points, East Georgia 10
points, and Southeast Georgia 4 points.
Very little damage has been done by
worms. The crop is very considerably
below the average for the State, but will
compare favorably with that of last > ear.
The seasons have been unfavora
ble throughout the year lor the
growth of the crop in most parts
of the State. The cold spring which
caused a late start for the plant was fol
lowed by excessively wet weather and
then by "a general drought. These condi
tions developed ru9t to an unusual ex
tent and caused the shedding of later
fruit. The state of the weather for gath
ering crops up to the lime the reports
were made has been unusually favorable,
and the condition amt quality of the lint
are exceptionally good.
CORN.
The condition and prospect of the corn
crop compared to an average is: North
Georgia 81, Middle Georgia 92, Southwest
Georgia 100, East Georgia 102, Southeast
Georgia 91, whole State 93. The condi
tion and prospect for the State is 5 points
below the report of last month, due to the
effects of the recent prolonged drought on
late crops. Early planted corn is generally
good throughout Southern Georgia and on
all the uplands that were properly culti
vated in Northern and Middle Georgia.
The drought of August and September
has materially affected the condition and
prospect of the sugar cane crop. The cor
respondents’ reports show the crop to
have fallen off from 86 to 71 since Sept. 1.
The average of the sections are as follows:
Middle Georgia 70, Southwest Georgia 68,
East Georgia 68, Southeast Georgia~B7.
Others averages are as follows:
Sorghum—North Georgia 84, Middle
Georgia 66, Southwest Georgia 82, East
Georgia 88, Southeast Georgia 80, whole
State 72.
Rice—Middle Georgia 95, Southwest
Georgia 87, East Georgia 91, Southeast
Georgia 101, whole State 93.
SWEET POTATOES.
The sweet potato crop has been greatly
injured in most parts of the State by
drought. On Sept. 1, there was a prom
ise ol an unusually ftne yield. The crop
was reported then at 102 for the State,
but falls to 81 in the present report.
Southeast Georgia is the only section that
shows a falling off in the condition of the
crop. In North Georgia the condition
and prospect is repor ed at 74, in Middle
Georgi.v .it, 63, in Southwest Georgia at 75,
in E:t* t Georgia at S3 aid in Southeast
Georgia at 112.
The average of field peas is: North
Georgia 71, Middle Georgia 63, South
west Georgia 73, East Georgia 83, South
east Georgia 93, in tbe whole State 78.
CHUFAS.
North Georgia IGb, Middle Georgia 59,
So 'uthwest Georgia 82, East Georgia 77,
Southwest Georgia 102, State 84.
TURNIPS,
A failure of the turnip crop is reported
from many counties in every section ex
cept Southeast Georgia. The condition
and prospect for the sections are: North
Georgia 29, Middle Georgia 28, Southwest
Georgia 25, East Georgia 55, Southeast
Georgia 92.
Commissioner Henderson, in closing the
report, highly recommends millo-maize
as a bread grain. It makes good loaf
bread, is exceedingly palatable, and fully
as acceptable as any bread made from
Graham flour. The Commissioner says
that tbe extreme hardiness of the plant,
resisting drought to a wonderful degree;
its heavy yield, far exceeding that of corn,
and then its adaptability for human food,
as well as food for work etockj all indi
cate a coming favorite in millo-maize
among the farmers of the South. “It will
be felicitous, indeed, If we have unex
pectedly fallen on a plant that will set
rust at defiance, and give us both corn
and flour, just as we choose to convert it.”

EXPLOSIONS AT QUEBEC.
THE PARLIAMENT BUILDING
TWICE SHATTERED.
Dynamiters Believed to be at the Bot
tom of the Outrages, But the Affair
Still Shrouded In Mystery—No One
Seriously Injured, But the Building
Badly Damaged.
Quebec, Oct. 11.—About 1 o’clock this
afternoon an explosion occurred at the
new Parliament building, destroying a
considerable portion of the masonry and
windows of the new structure, which was
just being roofed. The explosion at first
was supposed to be that of the boiler of
the engine used for hoisting, but this
proved not to be the case. Neither can it
be attributed to gas. The general im
pression appears to be that the explosion
was caused by dynamite, but as none of
that material is used on the works tbe
mystery is how it came there. Aa
investigation w’as begun immediately.
The workmen all being away at the time
at dinner no one but one man wa9 injured,
and he escaped with only a slight cut
from a piece of stone. The shock was
very severe, and was felt all over the city.
The windows of houses in the vicinity of
the explosion were badly shattered.
A SECOND EXPLOSION.
At 3 o’clock this afternoon a second ex
plosion occurred at the Parliament House,
but the building sustained no damage of
any consequence. Carpenters woiking
on the building say that they noticed a
box lying all the morning close to the
wall where the first explosion took place,
but they supposed that it was placed there
by the plumbers. After the explosion no
trace of the box could be found. It
is now r believed that the box contained
dynamite and an internal machine. The
second explosion was about 30 leet from
the place where the first one occurred.
The new building is said to be so badly
cracked from the first shock that it is
feared that half of it will have to be taken
down and rebuilt. After the first ex
plosion men were sent all through the
building to look for other suspicious
boxes, but found nothing.
AS MYSTERIOUS AS THK FIRST.
The cause of the second explosion is as
great a mystery as that of the first. Tfie
explosion did considerable damage to
windows in the vicinity of the Parliament
House, and all the windows in the house
itself in the section under construction
where the explosion occurred, are shat
tered. The only persons injured are
Martel, a workman, who wss struck by a
small rod which flew from a portion of
the shattered wall, and Mr. Charlebors,
the contractor, who suffered a slight
bruise on the hand. The damage by the
first explosion is considerable. A hole
about 12 feet high by 5 ieet wide was
blown out of the wall on the third story
from the basement, and directly over the
right entrance to the Assembly
Chamber, and near the place where
the Speaker’s chair is situated. The sec
ond explosion occurred in the northeast
corner of the same building. The corner
stones forming the support of the build
ing are badly bulged, and it is doubtful
if it can be repaired without letting down
the whole wall. Whatever the reason
may be for wishing the destruction of the
building there is no room to doubt that
dynamite was used. Everything is quiet
iB the neighborhood to-night, and a por
tion Of a battery i8 patrolling the grounds
around the Parliament building. The
government was only awaiting the com
pletion of the building to call the House
together for the dispatch of business. The
building had been so far advanced that
only a part of the roof remained unfin
ished. It is not known whether or not
the explosion will delay the meetings of
the House in December.
some of the theories.
Several rumors are current regarding
the causes of the explosions. French
employes state that the work was done
by Irish dynamiters, while some Irish cit
izens say, and the opinion is
shared by a great many that the French
workmen did the deed with a view to in
jure the contractor, but for what reason
is not apparent, as it is said that the con
tractor and the men are on the best terms.
Serious trouble is feared between the two
nationalities. If these accusations be
carried much further there will be
trouble. The Telegraph , in its editorial,
says: “Nationality must not be used to
screen any element of the community. Our
opinion is that the man who put the
dynamite in the new building himself was
seen hunting for the culprit, and when he
is discovered, that is, provided the police
are clever enough, it will be seen that far
from being an Irishman, or a Rossa emis
sary, the scoundrel was actuated through
other motives.”
SAVING THE HENDEItSHOTS.
The Carrellton Police Remove Father
and Son Beyond the Mobs’ Reach.
Evansville, Ind., Oct. 11.— A eommu
nieaiion from Carrellton, where Hender
shot and his son, who are charged with
being implicated in the murder of Mrs.
Hendershot at Troy, says: “The mob
from Troy did not come here last night,
but a mob of about 150 persons formed at
the Carrellton jail and were very threat
ening, but did not do anything because
they seemed to have no leader and the
non-arrival of the mob from Troy discour
aged them.’*
SPIRITED AWAY.
At 2 o’clock to-day the officer in charge
of the prisoners at Carrellton got them in
to a covered wagon in the rear of the jail
and took them to the river, where they
were placed on board the steamer Henry
Logan, which had previously been char
tered for the purpose, when she steamed
off down the river. The people are great
ly excited, and would have prevented the
removal of the prisoners if they had had
any idea ot what was transpiring. The
steamer has passed Troy, where a mob of
about 50 had gathered to try and head her
off. She hugged the Kentucky shore and
passed on down the river.
ABOUT CONTINENTAL LIARS.
Beecher Intimates that He Is Not One,
Whatever Mr. Joy May Be.
This letter is addressed to the Republi
can candidate for Governor of Michigan:
Gen. Jt. A. Alger, Detroit , Mich.:
Dear Sir —I have just read your letter of
Oct. 9, exhorting me “publicly to retract
your (my) statements, as you have in your
zeal for the Democratic par. y, and the Demo
e atic nominee, spread them before the whole
country.’’ When the heat of this canvass has
passed, you will think that such language
borders too near upon insult to be either just
or wise. I b.-g you to understand that I have
nothing to do with the truth, or otherwise,
of Mr. Joy’s statements to me, respecting Mr.
Blaine. The only question is: Did Mr. Joy
make those statements? The transactions be
tween him and Mr. Blaine, through an inter
mediary, may all be mythical: or the inter
mediary may have been an imposter; or Mr.
Blaine’s feelings may never have been hurt
bv any such requests; and Mr. Joy may never
have been shocked at Blaine’s imputed an
swer; and Mr. Joy’s artless feelings being
practiced upon, by this intermediaryTSie may
nave expressed himself too severely about
Mr. Blaine. Let Mr. Joy and Mr. Blaine
settle that between themselves. I have noth
ing to do with all that. Did Mr. Joy make
the remarks in my presence which I have
published? If he did not, I have lied. If he
did, Joy has lied. There is no middle ground.
There shall be none. Either I heard it or in
vented it.
Mr. Joy’s second telegram to you makes a
languid and foolish denial, which I attribute
to Ins not having seen or understood my state
ment. But If Mr. Joy hasseen my statement
and denied it, or if when he lands in New
York he shall declare that no such conversa
tion was held in my presence, then I have only
to say that, whereas I did not imagine that
there could be more than one continental liar,
I am compelled to think that there are two.
■•Please accept this letter as the only retrac
tion and apology that I am prepared to make
to you. to Mr. Joy, to Mr. Blaine, and to the
Republican party.
Henry Ward Beecher.

FIERCE FLAMES IN FAIRBURY.
The Los* Over SIOO.OOO—Other Devas
tation Wrought by Fire.
Fairbury, 111., Oct. 11.—At 2:15
o’clock this morning the grist mill of
Walton Bros, took fire, and was soon en
veloped in a dense sheet of flame. Tne
wind, which was from the east, was at
first very light, but in a tew minutes the
flames leaped across the road, and com
municated to the large mercantile block
owned by Walton Bros. While the fire
raged furiously in the territory named it
was also sweeping eastward on the op
posite side of the street, destroying the
stock yards and buildings of Comb & Mc-
Donald, the dryhouse or warehouse of
Walton Bros., containing a large
quantity of grain, and the black
smith shop of G. Westernell.
From this point the fire crept along
against the wind southward, first burn
ing a box car standing on the track near
the mill, and from there spreading to sev
eral corn cribs south of the railroad, and
thence west to Adell’s works and planing
mill. The lumber office of John Decker
and the commission store of J. Smith,
both in the Arcade block, just across the
street from the mill, were also completely
destroyed. The loss of Walton Bros, on
stock and building is $75,000 and their in
surance is $23,400. The loss on the mill
and its contents is $35,000 and the insur
ance SIO,OOO. The other losses aggregate
about $12,0(0 and the insurance $4,500.
“* afton firs.'
Shamokin, Pa., Oct. 11.— One chamber
of the Henry Clay shaft, owned by J.
Langdon & Cos., of Elmira, is on lire. Tne
flames are supposed to have been started
by a blast. Water is being poured in, but
it is hoped to extinguish the fire without
flooding the mine. The fire this evening
is increasing, and it is feared that it is
more extensive than at first supposed.
There is yet hope, however, of extinguish
ing the fire without flooding the mine.
The extent of tbe damage cannot yet be
estimated.
LUMBER BURNED AT DULUTH.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 11.—Fire this
afternoon at Duluth destroyed tbe dry
house, planing-mill and lumber-shed be
longing to the Onconta Lumber Company,

loaded with lumber. The loss is about
$30,000 and the insurance $4,000.
A FURNACE BURSTS.
Joliet, 111., Oct. 11.— Blast furnace
No. 1, at the rolling mills north of this

THE CONGO PROBLEM.
England not yet Invited to Participate
in the Proposed Conference.
London, Oct. 11.—No communication
has yet reached the British Foreign Office
inviting England to send a representative
to Berlin to participate in the proceedings
of the conference of the powers to secure
freedom of commerce in the Congo coun
try. A portion ot the press of France are
publishing articles opposing the proposi
tion that the French Government should
send a representative to the conference.
La Soliel says upon this subject that the
success of the conference will result only
in profit to Germany, and if the confer
ence should fail Germany would still man
age to engage France in a policy hostile
to England. La Republique Francaise
=ays that the conference will doubtless be
limiteu to examining questions of inter
national commerce ami jurisprudence
arising from the occupation by the various
powers of the regions on the Congo.
THE EMPIRE OF THE SEAS.
Berlin, Oct. 11. —Die Universal Gazette
editorially denies the existence of any
hostility based upon any question of prin
ciple between the governments of Ger
many and England. It says that nobody
dreams of a war of the united fleets of
Europe against the British armament,
but it adds that it is necessary that Eng
land renounce the illusion that she holds
“the Empire of the Seas,” and that she
only needs to put her signature to a sheet
of paper in order that all the coasts and
islands of the earth shall belong to her.

ter, Member of Parliament, Liberal, fie

has been sent to the Transvaal Gov

due satisfaction for these acts, the repres
sion of the Boer filibusters, and a thorough
observance of the articles of the last con
vention entered into by both countries.

is already preparing an expedition of
8,000 men to proceed to South Africa, a
portion of which will be drawn from the
East Indian army. The withdrawal of
the proclamation annexing Montcia’a
territory is not expected to alter the posi
tion of affairs, as the Boers continue to
hold their grip upon the lands.
