of a drowned negro bov in the northeastern
portion of the city. About noon its mother,
Ellen Frazier, left her house to go to work,
and carried her children to the house of a
neighbor, where there was a girl about T
rears old. Some time after the girl took the
toy down to a little stream in tne neighbor
h -!. where she left him to play. Some time
afterward she was heard screaming, but
stopped very suddenly. A few hours after
ward a negro woman went to look for the bov
and found him lyiug on the edge of the stream
covered with mud and dead. As soon
as possible Coroner Guerrv was summoned
and a jury impaneled. The verdict of the
jury was that the boy came to his death hv
dooming, from causes unknown to the jury.
Among the presentments of the Oglethorpe
grand jury are the following: In view of the
fact ti at the county is run to large expense
on account of the pernicious habit of illegal
riding, we respectfully request the presiding
3 .ge to punish to the extent of the law all
who ire convicted of the same. Weearnestly
our senator and Representatives to
do all in their power to have a general regis
tration law passed by the General Assembly,
or a special law to that effect for this county,
seeing the evil of intemperance in our county
at all tunes, and especially on the streets of
Lexington during court week, we earnestly
request our County Commissioners to grant
no more license for the sale of intoxicating
liquors in Oglethorpe county. Leaving the
moral aspect of the question out of view, it is
the sense of this body that more money would
to the treasury by the sin pression of
liquor shops, than goes into it by the sale of
license to them.
King Chestnut, of Worth county, had iu his
employment a young man by the name of
Turner, about 19 years of age. Wednesday
night Turner stole a gun, some meat and a lot
of potatoes from his employer and disap
peared A party was soon formed and went
in pursuit of him. The pursuit led into Worth
county, and when on the point of giving up
the case as a hopeless one, the pursuers sud
denly came upon the fugitive near Moultrie.
He was mounted, when captured, on a horse
• \edto be stolen. Soon after the cap
ture three of the party left to go to the house
of Justice Hamp Hancock, of Worth, to get
the nere--ary warrant to legalize Turner’s ar
rest. The rest of the captors pursued their
way with the prisoner, and nothing further
had been heard from them at the time of his
leaving Colquitt county. The men who went
*o get the warrant say that three or four shots
were heard in the direction of Oetlockonee
swamp, whither Turner and his captors had
proceeded. It is not known whether he was
shot while attempting to escape, or whether
he - reeded in escaping, or whether the shots
Were tired by the party that had him in charge.

A HORSE THIEF IN LIMBO.
The Pursuit, Capture and Arrest of a
Villainous Negro In Bulloch County-
Brought to the City Chained to a
Buggy.
A covered buggy with two occupants—
one a low-browed, burly looking negro,
with a deep ga9h in his right cheek, his
arms pinioned and a heavy chain locked
around his neck and fastened to the axle,
and the other, W. J, Roberts, a farmer
living on the Morrison place, about four
miles west of the city on the Louisville
road stopped in front of Magistrate
M aring Russell’s office yesterday after
noon.
The chain by which the negro was se
cured was unlocked from the buggy and
the prisoner was led into the office by his
captor and Constable Burke. A crowd
had followed the. buggy, excited by the
strange manner in widen the negro was
bound, and jammed into the office, but
was quickly cleared out by the officers.
Mr. Roberts turned over his prisoner to
the constable and at once swore out a
warrant for his formal arrest on a charge
of horse stealing.
A Morning News reporter, attracted
by the crowd, was at the spot a few min
utes after the prisoner was brought in.
As the cords were removed from his arms
and he pulled off his hat and sat down on
a bench his features were visible and dis
played the. vilest brutality* and ugliness,
lie gave his name as John Brinson. From
his own story and from Roberts it seems
that he left the city late on Saturday
night, and passed Roberts’ house about 3
o’clock Sunday morning. Roberts had
left a valuable mare tied in a vard near
the house for the night. The negro,
seeing the animal, climtied the fence, and
cutting the rope by which she was fas
tened, led her out, and stealing a saddle
trom another place on the farm, started
off. The next morning Roberts missed
his mare, and on looking for tracks saw
that she had been taken somewhere up
the road. lie knew at once from the ap
pearance of things that she had been
stolen. Securing another horse and bug
gy he started in pursuit. Upon reaching
the Paul Edwards place, about 2 miles
tnis side of Eden, be made bis first dis
covery. Mr. Edwards’ wife bad seen the
negro pass early in the morning with the
mare, and had seen him rein up to water
the animal near by. Roiierts immediately
employed Mr. Edwards and another man
named Davis, living a short distance be
yond, and they started on with fresh
horses in pursuit, Robeits following
in his buggy, thinking to overtake
them before night. About 8 o’clock
he reached the house of James Wilson,"
a guard on the Cuyler swamp chain gang,
in Bulloch county. There he learned that
Wilson had seen the negro, and suspect
ing that the animal had been stolen, had
joined the two other men, ami all three
had gone in pursuit. In a short time the
party returned on their way home, bring
ing with them the negro and the mare. Ed
wards and Davis, after having been joined
by Wilson, spurred on their horses and
came iu sight of the negro near the 44-
mile post. As soon as he saw he was dis
covered, the fellow lashed the mare and
attempted to urge her on, but the animal
was jaded with the long ride and was un
able to go beyond a trot. Seeing that
there was no chance of outstripping his
pui suers, the thief left the mare and took
to the woods. W ilson, with a fresh horse,
was in advance of his companions
and came up ahead of them,
lie called upon the negro to
stop, but instead of stopping he turned
and began tiring at his pursuer. Wilson
returned the fire. At this juncture Ed
wards and Davis came up and Edwards
rushed forward to the negro, who turned
and began tiring on him. Covering
him with his revolver he ordered him to
drop his pistol. Instead of doing 60 he
made a feint as if to tire, when Wil
son struck him with the butt of
his weapon, knocking him down
and cutting a deep gash iu his cheek. He
was then bound and taken to Wilson’s
house, several miles back, where Roberts
was waiting. He was then placed in a
buggy and chained and brought to the
city, where he was turned over to Con
stable Burke and landed in jail, where
he remains until his trial belore the next
term of the Superior Court. He freely
confesses the theft, and as he was put
into his cell said he should have
no trial, but should plead guilty to the
charge against him. The punishment for
the offense is not less than four nor more
than twenty years imprisonment in the
penitentiary. The negro made no resist
ance alter he was captured, and was
lodged in jail without difficulty. The an
imal he stole was valued by Roberts at
S2OO, and is a handsome iron-gray.

ON TOE DAY OF BATTLE.
DEFEAT OF DEMOCRACY’S LE
GIONS IMPOSSIBLE.
The Whole Country of One Mind as to
the Outcome—Gov. Cleveland at His
Home—The Republican Managers
Bound to Try the Efficacy of Cor
ruption.
Washington, Nov. 3.—A great deal ot
political information reaches Washing
ton through private channels. This is
often more reliable than that which is
given publicly by the party managers.
Upon such information, whose only fault
is that it is too meagre, is based the belief
common to all well informed men in
Washington to-night that Cleveland will
be elected to-morrow. Private assurances
from Democratic managers in New York
are to the effect that the South is still
solid for Cleveland; that he will get New
York without a doubt, and that lie will
probably carry Indiana, but positive
assertions end with New York. The
Democrats think though that they
have a right to claim, besides, Indiana,
Connecticut, New Jersey and Nevada.
They have a hope iu Michigan, too, about
w-hich little bus been said, and there is a
Democratic prospect in Ohio and New
Hampshire. The editor of the Boston
Herald thinks that there is a Democratic
chance in Massachusetts. The Demo
cratic managers are looking for gross
attempts at bribery and intimidation by
Blaine and, if he is defeated, an attempt
to question the result in one or more
Southern States. The Blaine men do not
claim States; they simply claim that
“Blaine will get in” by hook or by crook.
THE OUTLOOK AT NEW YORK.
How the Betting is Running—Cleveland
Certain ot New York.
New York, Nov. 3.—The corridors of
the hotels are crowded to-night with
anxious men all eagerly discussing the
probable result of to-morrow’s election.
Opinions are sought and commented on
with almost as much earnestness as if
they were news. Everybody who is be
lieved to have any information about tbe
situation from points in New York
State or in other States are beseiged
by excited inquirers. There appears
to be no doubt that a very heavy
vote will be polled in this eity anil
throughout the State. There is a great
deal of speculation as to what Butler's
vote will be in this eitv, and w hat St.
John’s. The impression prevails that
neither will be as large as was expected
a few days ago. The Republicans think
that Butler’s vote will reach 18,000, and the
Democrats place it under 10,000. It is
generally conceded that St. John’s will
be a great deal larger than Butler’s in the
whole State. The registered vote of this
city in round numbers is 240,000, and if
the weather is fine at least 235.000 votes,
it is believed, will be cast. The Blaine
men are counting on between 80,000 and
1)0,000 votes in the city, but if the Inde
pendent vote is as large as anticipated,
Blaine’s vote w ill fall below 75,000. There
doesn’t seem to be any doubt outside
of Blaine circles that Cleveland will
get the State by a fair majority. The bet
ting is certainly in that direction. With
regard to New Jersey, even bets have
been made that Cleveland will get it,
and bets of S9OO to SI,OOO that he w ill get
Connecticut. With regard to Indiana,
the betting is rather in favor of Blaine,
and ratner in favor of Blaine on the gen
eral result. There is a good deal
of talk to-night relative to the
effect the Mayoralty contest in this city
will have on the national contest. The
city patronage is a rich prize, and there
are charges and counter chffives as to
what the Tammany Democrats and the
County Democrats'will do in tbe way of
trading. The Democratic national man
agers, however, appear to be serenely con
fident ol success, and do not allow any
doubts to disturb them.
ALL IN READINESS IN FLORIDA.
No Trouble Antleipaled anl Democratic
Victory Almost Certain.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 3.—The
outlook for the Florida election is favor
able to the Democrats. There is very
little doubt of the election of Perry as
Governor and Davidson for Congress from
the First district. The contest is consid
ered close between Doughterty and Bis
t>ee in the Second district. The chances
favor the former. A majority of the white
Republicans support the Democratic
State ticket. For this reason Perry will
outrun Cleveland, not sufficiently," as is
believed, to endanger the Democratic elec
toral ticket. There has been considerable
colonization. Illegal registration on the
pait of the Republicans is being closely
watched. As far as learned, Chaffee
didn’t put out much money. Greeley, the
Republican candidate lor Lieutenant
Governor, will outrun Pope. It is
expected that 60,000 votes will be polled
in Florida to-morrow. The Republicans
will carry this county by 1,000 or 1.200.
The Democrats expect a working majori
tv in both branches of the Legislature.
The Republican demonstration announced
for to-night was countermanded. No Uni
ted States Deputy Marshals have yet been
appointed. The negro excursion from At
lanta will not put in an appearance. A
peaceable election in the city is antici
pated. Wall’s candidacy will help Dough
erty several hundred votes. It is raining,
anil bad weather is threatened.
The wrecked German bark Heloise and
cargo sold for $4,600.
The Mayor’s proclamation closes all bar
rooms in the city to-morrow.
THE OUTLOOK AS SEEN AT PENSACOLA.
Pensacola. Fla., Nov. 3.— The elec
tion in this State will be more hotly con
tested than ever before. Both sides claim
the State, but the Democrats have the
best foundation. The vote will be large.
Dougherty, Dem., claims that he will de
feat Bisbee, the present Republican in
cumbent, for Congress by 500 majority.
Davidson, Dem., is conceded re-elected
over Locke, Rep. Perry, Dem., for Gover
nor will run considerably ahead ot Cleve
land. There is a prospect of rain to
morrow in ttie western part of the State.
The Outlook iu Maine.
Portland, Me., Nov. 3.—Since the
September election there has beeu but
little excitement over politics in Maine,
but there are indications ot a full vote to
morrow. It is not believed that the total
vote will Vie as large as in September, but
the plurality for Blaine is expected to
reach 35,000. There are no officer# to
elect but electors, so the contest will be
simply on Presidential candidates. There
is no’reason to suppose that the Labor
and Prohibition tickets will draw more
than in September. Garfield’s plurality
in 1880 was 8,841.
A Street Scene in New York.
New’ York. Nov. 3.—Wail street pre
sented a very animated appearance to
day and excitement ran high. The streets
in "the vicinity of the Exchanges were
crowded with members of the various
boards, discussing politics, and at inter
vals cheers would be given for Blaine and
then for Cleveland. Considerable money
was wagered on the result.
Virginia Sure for Cleveland.
Washington, Nov. 3.—Chairman Bar
bour, of the Virginia Democratic Commit
tee, said to-day that all reports to the ef
fect that Virginia was doubtful were ab
surd. Virginia would, he said, give the
Democrats 16,000 majority and eight, and
probably nine, out of the ten Congress
men would be Democrats.
Hoadly Asked for Troops.
Columbus, 0., Nov. 3.—Sheriff Haw
kins, of Cincinnati, made a requisition on
the Governor for troops for election day.
The Governor replied that after he and
the Mayor of Cincinnati had exhausted
their resources with deputies and special
police they could have the aid of the State
militia.
Arthur Odea to New York to Vote.
Washington, Nov. 3.—President Ar
thur left Washington this afternoon for
New York, where he will to-morrow cast
his vote for the Republican Presidential
electors. He will return to Washington
Thursday or Friday next.
All Serene in Vermont.
Burlington, Vt., Nov. 3.—There is
little excitement over the election and no
effort making to bring out the full vote.
The best estimates place Blaine’s majori
ty at about 24,000. The bulk of the Inde
pendent vote will, it is thought, go to St.
John.
The Feeling In New Hampshire.
Concord, N. H., Nov. 3.—Leading
Democrats here claim that there will be
no choice of Governor by the people, and
beyond that have little to say as to the re
sult of to-morrow’s election. It Is thought
that the prohibitory vote will be light.
SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1884.
CLEVELAND AT HIS HOME.
The Next President Strolling About the
City Among His Friends.
Buffalo, Nov. 3.—Gov. Cleveland ar
rived here this morning at 7:35 o’clock,ac
companied by his friend, E. D Tuthill, of
the Tifft House, and Mr. Tuthill’s nephew.
The Governor declined the use of Mr.
Tuthill’s carriage, and quietly strolled to
his usual breakfasting restaurant, where,
after partaking ol a hearty meal, he re
paired to his rooms over his office, and
later at about 10 o’clock w’as at his desk
in his law office. It was expected that
the Governor would arrive this afternoon,
and preparations had been made to give
him a reception. About If o’clock he left
his office and strolled leisurely up to the
Tifft House. He was attired in a

ILLEGAL REGISTRATION.
Warrants Issued for Arrests In Nearly
all the Large Cities.
New York, Nov. 3.— lt is said that
Pinkerton’s detectives have reported to
the United States authorities that there
are between 200 and 300 illegal registra
tions at Coney Island. In Brooklyn
Supervisor-in-Chief Allen and United
States Assistant District Attorney Angel! \
are going over the registry. About 5,000 i
warrants are said to have been issued for
cases of illegal registration, including
about 50 marines in the barracks and cab
dock. It is said that according to statute
these are outside of the city, and there
fore have no right to register. Judge
Moore, in the King’s County Court of Ses
sions to-day, charged the grand jury that
there would probably be some election
frauds brought before them for considera
tion.
Knowledge was obtained to-dav !>v the
authorities in this city to the effect that
50 men registered from a single house
in West Twenty-eighth street, in which
not one of them resided. Detectives were
this afternoon placed in possession of
about a dozen bench warrants, some of
which they expect to execute during the
day*. The indications are that a very
large number of arrests will be made to
morrow.
SEVENTEEN ARRESTS AT CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, Nov. 3.—Seventeen pris
oners w ere arraigned in the United States
Court to-day, charged with violating the
election laws. Due of them was Thomas
Cogan, a member of the Legislature. He
was charged with two offenses—assault
ing a Deputy Marshal and preventing a
citizen front voting. Over 100 persons
have been indicted.
ARRESTS AT NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, Nov. 3.—Over 200 col
ored men have been arrested by the po
lice in the First Congressional district
since yesterday noon under ordinance
5016 as dangerous and suspicious char
acters, and having no visible means of
support. Many of them were committed

NO DANGER AT ST. LOUIS.
The United State* Marshal Declines to
Appoint Any Deputies.
St. Louis, Nov. 3.—ln the matter of
the appointment of Deputy United States
Marshals for special duty at the polls to
morrow, Judge Treat, in the United States
District Court, stated to United States
Marshal Coughins this afternoon that as
no condition of things existed here justi
fying the appointment of deputies, he
would not sign a warrant for their
j>ay. Marshal Coughins not being
willing to assume the liability
personally, thereupon cancelled his ap
pointments, and there will be no Marshals
on duty to-morrow. The Board of Police
Commissioners, in view of this state of
affairs, has concluded not to appoint
special police. The election here will
therefore proceed as under ordinary cir
cumstances, and all ground lor appre
hension of t rouble at the polls is removed.
VIRGINIA’S STRUGGLE.
All the Faction Leaders Bally Their
Followers for the Last Time.
Petersburg, Va., Nov. 3.—To-mor
row’s political battle is looked forward to

Brady, the Republican candidate for Con
gress from the Fourth district, claims
that he will be elected over his colored
opponent, James P. Evans, by between
4.00 ft and 5,000 majority. Dr. George
Rives, the Democratic candidate fer Con
gress from this district, will receive
the undivided support of Democrats.
Each of the Republican tactions held
meetings to-night. Gov. Cameron ad

deputies, supposed to be about 1,000, part
of whom will be stationed at
the polls and part will be
grouped in different sections of the city
as a reserve force, under command of
Gen. Joseph Stockton. Conservative opin
ion of both parties to-night is that there
will be no more trouble thau usual to
morrow. It has been raining all night,
and at this hour (midnight) rain is still
falling.
THE LONDON "TIMES’” VIEWS.
Politicians to be the Only Gainers In
To-Day’s Fight, In Its Fstimation.
London, Nov. 3.—The Times this morn
ing devotes a leader to the political con
test in America, in the course of which it
says:
Although the numbers polled to-morrovr
will probably exceed those polled at any pre
vious contest, nevertheless it would not be
rash to say that the vast majority of Ameri
cans regard the issue with indifference. For
eigners have still less reason to feel a keen
interest. The campaign has been almost ex
clusively managed by experienced and adroit
professional politicians*. To them alone the
re-sult will bring exultation or disappoint
ment. The most satisfactory feature of the
whole campaign is the failure of all attempts
to revive for party purposes the sectional
jealousies of the North and South. Mr.
Blaine’s recent inflammatory speeches In the
West will not really benefit his cause.
Butler at Boston.
Boston, Nov. 3.—Gov. Butler ad
dressed a large audience at Music Hall
this afternoon. He was warmly received.
He said in his speech:
They say on the other side that I have had
money paid me to work in the interest of
Blaine and the Republican ticket. Pardon
me. If I had remained at my profession I
could have earned at the lowest estimate five
dollars for the one doUar that my enemies say
I have received.
The General repeated his well-known
tariff views, and the balance of his ad
dress was substantially as delivered else
where. Later in the day Gen. Butler
spoke at Marblehead.
Colonization in New Jersey.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 3.—Twenty-five
men charged with being repeaters’were
arrested here this morning and sent to the
county jail for five days. The country
for miles around is flooded with tramps to
day, and each party bitterly charges the
other with effortstocolonize voters. Num
bers of false registrations have been dis
covered. Gov. Abbett has telegraphed
prosecutor Beasely to remain in his office
all day to-morrow.
WHIRLED INTO OBSCURITY
BLAINE GOES OCT OF NOTICE
WITH HIS USUAL BOOM.
Bostonltes Treat Him to Another Bel
shazzar-Like Feast and Get Up a Final
Torchlight Parade in HU Honor—The
Boys in the Street Hiss Him as He
Passes.
New Y'okk, Nov. 3.—Mr. Blaine, ac
companied by his family, Mrs. 31. A.
Dodge, Senator Hale, and Mr. and Mrs.
Manley, of Augusta, left New York this
morning on the regular 9 o’clock train lor
SpringfiehL Before the train left New
York a crowd gathered around and
cheered Blaine as he looked out of the
window, and like scenes occurred at sev
eral other points on the route. 3lr. Blaine,
before leaving, expressed the opinion that
the remarks of Dr. Burcliard upon “Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion” would not cost
the national ticket more than 500 votes.
THE TRIP INTO OBSCURITY.
Boston, Nov. 3.—At Worcester 3lr.
Blaine was received by a large crowd to
whom he spoke as follows:
I never more sincerely regretted the im
jiairmcnt of my voice than at tli.s moment,
that I might mako-fitting response to the most
cordial and eloquent greeting which vour
distinguished Chairman has given me. I cave
jiower of expression that I might say to him
in the presence of this Worcester audience,
that his presentations of the people’s cause in
this campaign constitute the political litera
ture of 1834. He knows belter than you know
how profoundly 1 thank him, and I know bet
ter than he knows the full reason I have for
gratitude.
ALL AT AN END.
This campaign is over. With all that has
been pleasant in it, with all that has been un
pleasant. with all that has been important,
with all that has been unimportant, it closed
to-day, and even though it may sound like
the voice of egotism, I am proud to declare
here that not once, in not a single instance
has any jioisoncd shaft reached me here
[layiaghis hand over his heart], and I return
to my home, not with less, but with greater
appreciation of the grandeur, nobility and
justice of the American people.
FORESEEING THE INEVITABLE.
To that people of which Massachusetts
forms eo distinguished and so houoiable a
part I submit, with the cause I am called to
represent, whaievcrof personal fortune I have
itt stake, calmly, without anxiety, and with
an abundant readiness to accept with checr
lulne 6 whatever mav be the verdict of the
great popular tribunal. [Cheers].
It was about 5:20 o’clock when the traiu
reached Boston. In the depot here there was
■ i very large crowd, which cheered loudly for
Blaine. r l here was also some cheering for
Cleveland from one jvortion of the crowd, and
as the carriage containing -Mr. Blaine, Lieut.
Gov. Ames and Henry Cabot Lodge moved
off a number of small boys ran after it and
hissed, while large crowds of peoplein the
streets cheered.
BLAINE DINED AGAIN.
At a dinner given to Mr. Blaine tins even
ing at the Hotel Brunswick there were pres
ent more than 200 guests, it was about 8
o’clock when Mr. Lodge, who presided, called
the company to order. He said that as Mr.
Blaine was to review a great torchlight pro
cession there would not lie any general speak
ing, but he knew that those present would be
greatly disappointed if they did not hear from
the distinguished guest of the evening. When
Mr. Blaine rose to respond he was heartily
cheered.
HIS PARTY’S LAST PRAISES.
When order was restored he said: Mr.
Chairman and gentlemen, for reasons which
1 need not stop to detail a reception of this
character in the city of Boston at the close of
the national campaign is peculiarly grateful
to me, and I thank you, 3tr. Lodge, for giving
me the opportunity to thank you. [ Applause.]
It is too late to argue or even to state the
great issues involved in the canvass which
closes to-night, but I am sure that those issues
constitute a difference between the parties so
broad and so deep that their decision one way
or the other will affect for weal or for woe the
history of the United States for many years
to come. [Applause.]
THE BLOODY SHIRT.
I am sure that the great constitutional
amendments which have grown out of the
civil struggle, and which have in so many re
spects, I might 6ay, changed the very frame
work of our government, have been" made by
the Republican party, and are now in its
keeping, and as I have frequently said else
where, I here now repeat, that to transfer the
political power of the country to the Demo
cratic party at this time would by no means
be one of those ordinary transfers of govern
raent from one party to another which gray
haired men within my view witnessed many
years ago.
HIS VIEWS ON A CHANGE.
It would not be merely a case of one party
going out and another coming in. It would
be rather a reversal and overturning of the
great organic changes in the government, of
great industrial systems, of great financial
systems, and it would he a transfer of the
sovereignty of the country far more vital and
far-reaching than any of the ordinary
changes of dynasty which occur in those
F.uropean governments of a different form
from ours, and I close this canvass, in which
I have had some active participation,
with the profound conviction that
intelligent as the voters of the United States
are—and lam certainly addressing some of
the most intelligent of them—that intelligent
as the mass of voters are, accustomed as
they are to give heed to the weight and ten
dency of the questions to be decided, the peo
ple of the United States have not yet meas
ured nor. as I believe,yet fully comprehended
what it would mean to transfer this govern
ment to the absolute control of the Southern
States of this Union. Nor do I here and now
stop to give my own idea of what
su< h a change would mean. It were
out of place. 1 should refrain for the ad
ditional reason that anything I might now say
would be too late to Influence popular judg
ment in any direction, and for the third
reason that in so far as my own voice could
reach anti influence the just'judgment of the
people of the United States I have exerted
it very freely.
why he exhibited himself.
I have never offered any apology or expla
nation for taking what some of my closest
friends regarded as an extraordinary step in
going before the people somewhat more freely
and extendedly than has been the habit of
those as Presidential candidates of the great
parties; but I will say now that I did it. and
I desire to put this on record. I did it because
I thought that the peculiar character of the
canvass was my personal justification for doing
it. I am a profound believer in popu
lar government, and I know no reason
why I should not face the American people.
I did it, too, for the more specific reason that
I believed that there was danger of great
leading questions, which related to the indus
trial and protective system of America being
partially or wholly excluded from that
consideration by the peojfle which its
merits deseryed, and entrusted as
I was with the great function of representing
you and all the members of the Republican
party I felt that I would in an especial de
gree myself obtain a hearing. I have re
turned, somewhat weary, somewhat broken
in voice as your cars have detected, but I
have returned with even more profound be
lief than I had in the judgment, fairness,
impartiality and generosity of the great
ma*# of American citizenship, and 1 go
o my home to-morrow not without strong
confluence in the result of the ballot, but with
a heart that shall not be troubled by any ver
dict that may be returned by the great Ameri
can people, for I have in my entire canvass
unconsciously and completely lost sight of
mvself and' of whatever 'per-onal for
tune I have at stake in the far
greater and far grander and far more endur
ing issue, which for the time I was submit
ting to popular judgment. [Cheers],
From the dinner table Mr. Blame went
to review the torchlight procession, which
he did from a balcony of the hotel. To
morrow he will go home to Augusta,
leaving Boston at 9:30 o’clock in the
morning.
GEORGIA’S CAPITxYL CITY.
Candidates for the Legislature’# Fa
vors Flocking to the Scene.
Atlanta, Nov. 3.—Already a large
number of members of both houses of the
Legislature, and a larger number still of
candidates for offices to be filled by the
General Assembly about to meet, are on
hand. About the hotels and on the streets
they can be seen shaking hands with old
friends or making new ones. No new
candidates have developed for any place
in the organization of either house.
Judge Underwood, of Rome, is here ap
plying for Justice Blanford’s seat on the
Supreme bench. Judge Blanford, it is
generally believed, will be his own suc
cessor, although Underwood is making a
hard fight for the place, and will roll up a
large vote from the mountain
counties. Judge Underwood has made
several attempts to get on
the Supreme bench and failed. This is
believed to be his fourth canvass for the
position.
The artesian well is down 610 feet, and

News reached this city this morning
that John Stephens, a flagman on Conduc
tor Mahone’s train on the Western Rail
road of Alabama, was killed last night at
Opelika, his home. Stephens, while the

A 31 ACONITE’S 3IUTILATION.
Leaping from a Flying Train He Meets
a Horrible Death.
31acon, Ga., Nov. 3.—This afternoon
Alfred Truman, a well known carpenter,
aged 30 years, was buried. He was the
victim of a terrible accident Saturday
night, resulting in instant death. He
purchased a ticket to Summerfield, eight
miles above Macon, where his sick wife
was staying for the benefit of her health
and intended spending Sunday with her.
He boarded a train which left Macon con
siderably behind time, owing to the colli
sion on the Central Railroad. The train
ran very rapidly and passed Summer
field without stopping, perceiving which
Truman jumped off about two
miles above Summerfield, while the
train was going at full 6peed.
The ground where Truman struck
was very much torn, suggesting the idea
that he alighted on his feet, then re
bounded and that his head was thrown
violently against a railroad bar of iron,
crushing his skull, dashing out his brains
and badly disfiguring his face. His
clothes were much soiled by blood and
dirt. His dead body was found aside the
track and brought to 3lacon. A Cor
oner’s inquest was held and brought in a
verdict in accordance with the above
fae’e. He was not drinking the night he
met his death. His relatives will bring
suit against the Central Railroad for a
large amount on the ground that he met
his death by the conductor not stopping
the train at Summerfield. Messrs. Lanier
and Anderson will be employed to prose
cute the suit.
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
This evening J. 31. AValden, lately from
Texas, who had some beautiful willow

Catholic Church and were married by
Father McCarthy, the couple having
previously received dispensation from
Father Bazin from having anticipated
the nuptial announcement of three suc
cessive Sundays in church. They ran
aw-ay from Savannah, as the bride’s
parents objected to the marriage.
GORDON A PRISONER.
Compelled to Evacuate Khartoum He is
Captured while Retreating.
I*aris, Nov. 3.—A dispatch from Cairo
says:
K 1 Jlalidi, in the beginning of September,
hearing of the advance of the British fotces,
made a supreme effort to reduce Khartoum,
which place at the end of September was sur
rounded by 150,000 rebels. Supplies failing
the garrison began to waver. A deputation of
officers complained bitterly to Gen. Gordon
that they had been deceived by a promise of
British assistance, and they accused him of
aiding in deceiving them. The deputation
also demanded that a retreat be made
to Dongola, and threatened that if this
action were not taken they would join El
Mahdi. Gen. Gordon thereupon consented to
the plan proposed. Meanwhile a panic arose,
and 8,000 soldiers and civilians deserted in a
body. Two thousand men remained faithful
and embarked with Gen. Gordon. The rebels
were advised of what had occurred and har
assed the retreat to Shendy, where masses of
rebels, provided with ariillery, disabled the
flotilla Only Col. Stewart’s vessel succeeded
in passing Berber, and shortly afterward it
was wrecked. The remainder of the flotilla
was obliged to return southward, and on
reaching Shendy the entire force was cap
tured. About Oct. 5 Gen. Gordon was sent,
under a strong escort, to El Slahdi’s camp,
where he is now a close prisoner.
THE NEWS DISCREDITED.
London, Nov. 3.-The Foreign Office dis
credits the dispatch announcing the capture
of Gen. Gordon. A dispatch from Debbeh
says the powerful Tatara tribes which are
inimical to the Mahdi have captured El Obeid.
It is said that El Mahdi’s prestige is waning
among tile tribes between Debbeh and El
Obeid.
THK “TIMES” DOUBTS.
The Times considers the news reported from
Cairo to Paris to the effect that Khartoum
had fallen into the hands of the rebels, and
that Gen. Gordon had been taken prisoner
extremely doubtful. This view, it thinks, is
especially reasonable in the absence ot ad
vices on the subject from Gen. Wolseley. The
Times traces the report to the Bosphore
Egyptian, a dubious French orean, which may
have given a Europeanized version of Arab
rumors, which have recently gained some cur
rency in Cairo. Lord Granville, Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs,assured the Press As
sociation to-day that the government had re
ceived no confirmation of the news. Up to noon
to-day nothing had been received at the gov
ernment office in regard thereto. A dispatch
to-day from Doiqrola makes no mention of the
reported fall of Khartoum. It says, however,
that El Malidi at last accounts was collecting
his forces around Khartojm, and had sum
moned Gen. Gordon to surrender. The troops
of El Slahdi had intercepted two messengers
dispatched by the British to Khartoum. The
same dispatch declares that a large force of
rebels was at Berber, and that the rebels had
possession of the wells on the caravan route
between Debbeh and Khartoum. After the
crons are harvested, El Mahdi’s forces will be
largely increased.
In the House of Lords this afternoon Lord
Granville said that the government had no
reason to believe that the report of the fall of
Khartoum and the capture of Gen Gordon
was true. The House adjourned till Thurs
day.
'flic Marquis of Salisbury, the Conservative
leader, referring to the instructions given by
the government to Gen. Gordon, said that it
appeared to be the intention of the govern
ment to abandon all the Egyptian garrisons in
Soudan. Lord Granville denied that the gov
ernment had any intention to abandon Khar
toum, but he admitted that it had no inten
tion to prolong the campaign in order to res
cue Sennaar or other garrisons.
Gen. Wolseley arrived to-day at Dongola,
where he held a conference with the Mudir.
An Alexandria correspondent says that
upon careful inquiry he learns that the report
of the fall of Khartoum originated from the
following source and gives it for what
it is worth: A French merchant,
formerly trench Consul at Khar
toum, learned from messengers who
lately arrived from Khartoum that Gen. Gor
don was in want of provisions and forced to
make a sortie. He reached Berber only. Col.
Stewart was able to push further north, and
Gen. Gordon started to return to Khartoum,
ami when near Shendy he learned that Khar
toum had been handed over to the rebels.
Gen. Gordon found himself unable to retire
or advance, and was killed thoro.
FENIAN DISCL.OSUUKS.
Frederick J. Allen’s Arrest Unearths
Some Startling Secrets.
Dublin, Nov. 3.— Frederick J. Allen,
Vice President of the Young Ireland
Society, who was arrested last night on a
charge of treason and felony, was brought
into court to-day and arraigned. He was
remanded to jail for trial. Evidence was
produced showing that he wrote a letter
to the headquarters of the Fenians in
Paris containing an account of receipts
of cash for Fenian purposes and accounts
of the avengers’ expenses. Among the
avengers the names of Joe Mullet and
Patrick Malloy appeared. Tne letter
likewise detailed the quantity of arms be
longing to various Fenian centres in Ire
land, and also the number of men com
posing them. At Kilkenny,it is said, there
were 332 members, at Dublin 650, and at
Louth 583.
England's Policy in Africa.
London, Nov. 3.— A deputation of
South African merchants to-dav waited
upon Earl Derby, Secretary of State for
the Colonies, for consultation in reference
to affairs in their country. The interview
resulted in Earl Derby informing the
deputation that the English Government
had not the remotest intention ol aband
oning any portion of her South African
possessions, but at the same time the gov
ernment would not extend the limit of her
control beyond the present boundaries.
Earl Derby also informed the deputation
that the government refuses to entertain
their appeal for the annexation of Zulu
land or to establish a protectorate over
the Zulu country.
Doable Lynching.
Texarkana, Ark., Nov. 3.—Charles
Mitchell, the negro who assaulted Mrs.
Waddell, a white woman, in Little Rock
county, was ai rested Sunday night in that
county. He confessed the crime after a
mob of 200 persons had put a rope around
his neck, and declared that the woman’s
husband hired him to commit the deed.
Waddell was also arrested. The negro
and Waddell were both lynched.
Mrs. Morrill’s Charges.
Washington, Nov. 3.—Mrs. Morrill,
widow of the late Senator Lot M. Morrill,
of Maine, has written a letter stating that
all the charges against Blaine attributed
to her were made by her, and that the half
of his dishonesty and impurity has not
been told. She does not see how any hon
est man can vote for him.
NEW IBERIA’S FUSILADE.
TWENTY LIVES LOST IN A FOUR
311NUTE CONFLICT.
The White Republicans and Their Blach
Allies *t the Bottom of the Trouble—
The Blacks Scatter Like Sheep Before
the Handful of Whites—All Quiet at
Last Accounts.
New Iberia, Nov. 3.—About 200 Re
publicans, principally negroes, entered
Loreauville a little after 1 o’clock Satur
day afternoon cheering in the wildest
manner and using profane aud obscene
language in the greatest profusion. The
crowd was headed by ex-Sheriff Viator,
and they abused the Democratic candi
date in the vilest terms.
The most reliable and impartial witnesses
agree that a few of the citizens of Loreauville,
not over fifteen, led by Joe Gilfaux, met this
crowd of Kelloggites and remonstrated with
them, when some unknown party fired on
Gilfaux. The assault was very unexpected
on the part of the Democrats, aud before they
could rally Gilfaux and Capt. Bell had fallen.
The latter’s revolver was taken from his body.
It had not been discharged. As soon as the
shooting commenced there was the greatest
confusion, and the negroes scattered in every
direction. It ia very probable that many of
the ball* of the Kelloggites found victims
in their own ranks. When the
negroes stampeded they left their
wounded to care for themselves. The
firing was quite general and many were
wounded and some killed who were not
aimed at. Eight horses were killed at the
scene of the fight and one was found dead a
mile away. Some of the wounded negroes
started to run their horses, and ran until they
fell from exhaustion. It is reported that
some of them ran Into the bayou, where they
were drowned. Others reached the opposite
shore and continued their flight.
THE WILD PANIC.
The panic among the negroes was terrible.
They had been told so many wild stories about
the Democrats that they verily believed that
the day of doom had come. The finding of
negroes at some distance from the battlefield
caused a rumor that the negroes had been fol
lowed and shot down wherever found. It is
positively stated by the participants that this
ts false. No shots were fired off the field nor
were any of the negroes pursued by ttiiv one.
Several had balls extracted here" ana they
say that their wounds were received in the
engagement. It is stated that one man died
5 miles below here from wounds received in
the fight. The Democrats surrounded the Re
publican leaders, and took them prisoners.
Coroner Alaville went to Loreauville to view
the remains of Gilfaux and Bell, hut took no
testimony. He will complete his tat,k to-day.
He says that, as far as he can learn, there
must have been 14 or 16 negroes killed. Many
were wounded. The Radicals have been
waving the bloody shirt here lor a long time,
and at last they have got it stained. United
States Deputy Marshal Steel is very ener
getic in .his efforts to get the prisoners
out of jail, but so far he has failed.
Judge Fontellieu held a meeting here last
Wednesday, when the gay party were in Lo
reauville, and those who were present say
that the speeches were nothing but a series of
vile slanders and abuse. The meeting, which
was secret, lasted until very late at night.
Very few wliites were present.
THE FIRST SHOT.
All who were in the fight when it began say
that the first shot came from a negro, who
flreii from his coat pocket at Joe Gilfaux.
Bell and Gilfaux were killed instantly and
from the first Tolley. Pistols taken from
their bodies show that they had not fired a
shot when they fell. They were two of
Fausse Point’s most respected #nd beloved
citizens. Their friends present, consisting of
six or eight men, were so infuriated that they
went into the battle regardless of everything
and fought bravely. A great many negroes
stood and fought until they emptied their
pistols. The majority, however, stampeded.
Hundreds of them jumped into the bayou and
some being wounded did not get out. Others
ran, and some fell down on the way and died.
One negro was found near by in his cabin
dead without a bruise on him.
Nearly all of those killed received their
wounds from stray shots. It is reported that
the white Republicans preseut were armed
with breastplates, secured for the occasion.
Jadge Fontellieu’s clothing was full of bullet
holes, but his skin was untouched. Capt. Bell
was buried to-dav at St. Martinsville, and Joe
Gilfaux at Loreauville. No further trouble
is expected.
ONLY A FOUR MINUTES BATTLE.
The number' of citizens of Loreauville who
went out to meet the Republicans and ask
them to desist is stated at 17. Louis Browne
and Louis Freelot. colored Republicans, were
among the killed. The additional wounded
are St. Clair Dugas and A. F. Mugas, Demo
crats. The engagement lasted only four
minutes, but in that time over 1,000 shots
were fired. The megroes, as soon as they
realized that there waa really a fight and that
the Democrats were making a stand, lied in
all directions, leaving their hats, shoes, horses
and everything. Many of them received fa
tal shots on the field, ran a great distance and
died in out-of-the-way places. Their bodies
are being found now in fields and
woods. Between 50 and 60 of them
rushed into the bayou, some sank
from their wounds and exhaustion, and
w T ere drowned in the confusion and struggle.
But many reached the other side and contin
ued their wild flight. There were some re
ported as found dead in the field this side of
the bayou. One man made his wEy 5 miles
below here and died. The excitement of
Larenville was terrible. When the smoke
cleared away and the citizens found two of the
noblest men of Fausse Point lying dead
upon the field, their rage was terrible. The
leaders of the Republicans had exhausted
their ammunition and retreated into a house
near by. where they asked for quarter. A
courier had been dispatched to this town,
and a detachment ot the Iberia Guards were
sent to receive the prisoners.

Shot Down by Republicans.
Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 3.—Henry
Newton, colored, was shot in Wythe
county to-day. Newton, whose duty it
was to relieve another collier about 12
o’clock, was on his way for that purpose
when he was fired upon by parties con
cealed in the brush. The shot did not
take effect, and he ran back home and at
daylight again started out, when he was
shot down by unknown parties, two of
whom he saw. He says that his life had
been threatened by a number of Republi
cans on account of his Democratic pro
clivities.

TAMMANY ALL RIGHT.
W hat John Kelly Says About the Situa
tion—Cleveland, In His Opinion, Cer
tain to be Elected.
Last Friday afternoon, says the Louis
ville Courier-Journal correspondent, 1
paid a visit to the office of the great Tam
many mogul, Hon. John Kelly. His
business office is located in the second
floor of No. 23 Park Row. Walking in
the reception room I was not surprised to
find it filled with visitors, all patiently
waiting their turn to have a word with the
famous local leader. I handed my card
to the polite usher, who closely scruti
nized it and darted through a door upon
which was painted “private." The mes
senger returned in a lew moments and
stated that Mr. Kelly would see me for a
few minutes as soon as he was disengaged.
I sat down to wait. In the meantime men
of all sorts and sizes came in, all bent on
seeing Mr. Kelly. Some appeared to be
excited and of the must-see-him-immedi
ately kind, but none of them got in until
they were sent for.
“Does Mr. Kelly have many callers ?” I
asked of the usher.
“Many? This ain’t a circumstance.
Sometimes there are a hundred here wait
ing."
After waiting half an hour 1 was ush
ered into the presence of the august Tam
many Chief. He greeted me cordially,
pleasantly apologizing for having kept
me so long in waiting. I told him that I
considered myself fortunate in getting in
at all, and would not intrude but a few
minutes upon bis time, Then I jumped
right into the object of my call by saying:
“I suppose, Mr. Kelly, that you are
aware that the eyes of the Democracy of
the whole Union are at this time concen
trated upon you ?"
“Yes, I think this is so to some extent
and without cause. Our faith is doubted
because we did not immediately indorse
the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. I
thought his nomination over such men as
Bayard and Thurman was a grave mis
take. With either of the latter we would
have had virtually a walk over. As it is,
the fight has been close and hard, and the
result is doubtful.
“Will Tammany Hall support Mr.
Cleveland ?"
“I think the work of Tammany Hall for
3lr. Cleveland in the last month is an
answer to your question. I believe that
if the election had come off five weeks
ago, Cleveland oould not have beaten
Blaine in New York county. But Tam
many went to work in earnest for 31r.
Cleveland, and the result of that work is
to be seen all over the city.”
“What majority do you think Cleveland
will have over Blaine in New York
county ?”
“I think it w-ill go from 45,000 to 50,-
000.”
“The Republicans still claim that they
have made a deal with Tammany Hall in
the interest of Blaine.”
“I know they do, and so does the Herald
and the independent papers. Tammany
Hall Democrats have never got the proper
credit for their work. They are falsely
accused in every campaign. The organi
zation is as faithful to Cleveland as any
Democratic organization in the city. No
doubt there are individuals in Tammany
Hall, as there are in Irving Hall and the
County Democracy, who will not vote for
Cleveland. No man or no party can con
trol those votes.”
“Do you thiDk 3lr. Cleveland will carry
the State ?”
“I certainly do; I receive twenty or
thirty letters a day from all parts of the
State, and my Information is that the sit
xiation was never better or more encour
aging for tbe Democrats. lam firmly of
the opinion that 40,000 Republicans in the
State will vote against Blaine. If one
half the news I receive turns out true,
there is no doubt of the result in New
York.”
“Dou you think that Cleveland will re
ceive more disaffected Republican votes
than he will lose disaffected Democratic
votes?”
“There is no doubt of that.”
“Then he will carry the State, will be
not?”
“Yes, sir; by from 20,000 to 30.000.”
“Do you expect to elect your county
ticket?”
“Yes, sir; we will elect our county
ticket. After the election the result will
show to the Democracy of the country
that Tammany Hall was not only true to
the National Democratic ticket, but
strong enough to sweep the county of
New York and elect its own ticket.”
“What do you know about New Jer
sey?”
“The situation in New Jersey is not as
good as I could wish. The Democrats
have unwisely, I think, evaded the tariff
question there, especially in Newark and
Paterson, and this evasion has hurt us.
Our side should have met the question as
3lr. Hendricks has in Indiana. But for
all this I do not think we will lose New
Jersey.”
“Have you any information in regard
to our chance to carry Connecticut?”
“Yes; the chances to-day are in favor
of the Democrats carrying Connecticut.”
“Well, doesn’t it look a little to you
like Cleveland and Hendricksßwould be
elected ?”
“It has looked that way to me for two
weeks, nor do I believe Hendricks will
lose Indiana.”
I thanked 3lr. Kelly for his talk. I have
quoted him correctly. He spoke earnestly
and like an honest man. The Democracy
of the country can judge for themselves
whether it is likely for a man to talk like
31r. Kelly and then play the traitor. I
believe he will be true to his word.

Mexican Etiquette.
West Plain (Mo,) Journal,
I was given a lesson in etiquette by a
Mexican young lady I met on the train.
“I saw you eating an orange on the depot
platform,” she said. “In Mexico that
would be considered as unmannerly.
There it is unmannerly to eat anything
outside of a house, even candy. And I
noticed when Mr. Romero gave you a
Mexican match you threw it away after
using but one end of it. The other was
still serviceable, and you should have re
tured the match with your thanks. If
you hand one a cigar or cigarette to light
with, you must take a whiff after It has
been returned to you, though it may be
so short as to burn your fingers.” All
this I received with good grace, for my
young lady was but 10 years old.

tled TO A VOTE.
The Supreme Court of the Nation the
Author of the Decision—The Secreta
ry ef the Interior Declared Not Au
thorized to Review Patent Decisions
on Appeals.
Washington. Nov. 3. —A decision was
ordered by the Supreme Court of the
United States this afternoon in another
of the long series of eases which have
arisen out of the adoption of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to the
constitution.
The present case, which is that of .John Elk.
plaintiff in error, against Charles Wilkins,
which came from the District of Nebraska, is
a suit brought by an Indian against the lteg
lsierof one of the wards of Omaha fora re
fusal to register him as a qualified voter
the roin. I lie questions presented are
whether the plaintiff in error is a citt
ofVlC , United States and
whether he lias been denied any right
guaranteed him by the fifteenth amendment
to the Federal constitution. This court in a
long and elaborate opinion by Mr. Justtce
Grav holds:
First —That an Indian who is bom a mem
ber of one of the Indian tribes within the
1 nited states, which still exists and is recog
nized as a lrilie by the government, and who
has voluntarily separated himself from his
tribe and taken up his residence among white
citizens of a state, but who lias not been natur
alized or taxed or recognized as a citizen
either by the United States or by the State is
not a citizen of the United States within the
meaning of the first section of the fourteenth
amendment.
Second —That Hie plaintiff in error not being
a citizen of the United States under the four
teenth arm adment, has bcou deprived of no
right secured by the fifteenth amendment and
cannot maintain this action.
Tne judgment of the Circuit Court is af
firmed.
•Justice llarinn read a long dissenting opin
ion in behalf of Justice Woods and himself.
APPEALS IN PATENT CASES.
A decision was also rendered by the court
to-day in the important patent ease of Ben
jamin Butterworth, Commissioner of Patents,
plaintiff, in error, against United States ex-
Cominissioner Jiicliard 11. Hoe and others, in
error, to the Supreme Court.of the District
of Columbia. This was a suit
brought for the purpose of obtaining
writs of mandamus to compel the Commis
sioner to issue a patent in accordance with his
own decision, notwithstanding the fact that
the decision had been overruled and reversed
upon an appeal! to the Seeretary of the Inte
rior. The question presented here is whether
any right of appeal exists in patent cases
from the decision of the Commissioner to the
Secretary of the Interior. This court, in a
long and carefully prepared op inion by Jus
tice Matthews, holds that an appeal does not
lie in patent cases to the Secretary of the In
terior; that the Commissioner of Patents has
the exclusive right to decide for him
self whether or not a patent ought
to issue, and that the Secretary of the Interior
has no authority to review such decision. If
the Commissioner errs the party aggrieved
has a statutory remedy, but that remedy is
not an appeal to the Secretary. The judg
ment of the Supreme Court of the District
awarding a writ of mandamus is affirmed.
A decision was also rendered by the court
in the case of Joseph Cooper, plaintiff in error,
against the city or New Orleans. The ques
tion presented by this case is whether a
license tax imposed by the city in ac
cordance with the State law upon steam
propellers plying between New Orleans
and points on the Gulf coast is a regulation of
commerce among the States,and therefore for
bidden by article 1 section 8 of the Federal
constitution. The Supreme Court of Louisi
ana decided that it was not. This court re
verses that decision, and holds that such tax
on coastwise steamers is a regulation of com
merce among the States, and is, therefore,
unconstitutional and void.
