Macon Telegraph and Messenger: tin Sent. 15
of the present year a painter named J. A.
Barry, who was then at work on some paint
ing at the Lanier House, bought an organ
from tue Georgia Music House on the install
ment plan, paying *lO down. He ordered the
organ sent to his room, which he said was on
tourth street, opposite the National Hotel.
Willie Irvine went with the organ, and it was
taken upstairs amt left iu the hallway. Batry
was present, and sapi that the room Was not
quite ready, and as there was a lot of furni
ture in the hallway, young Irvine did not sus
pect anything. The second installment on the
organ was due on Oct. 15. and a notification to
that effect was sent through the mail to
Barry. It hap|>eued that ou the same floor
lived a Mr. Berry, who received the notifica
tion. lie returned it to Mr. Ir
vine, saying he was not the man.
Efforts were made to find Barry, but
they proved fruitless. On Nov. 15 another in
stallment was due and another notification
was scut to him through the mail. This one
fell into the hands of Mrs. Berry, and she told
Mr. Irvine that there was no such man
living m the bubding. Mr. Irvine then insti
tuted a thorough investigation. On speaking
to Dr. Subers, who has an office in the build
ing, the doctor said that he remembered the
day on which the organ was carried there.
He saw it in the hallwav about 4 o’clock, but
it w: s gone, as well as the furniture, when he
returned to his office at t> o’clock. Sir. Ir
vine soon saw that no such man as Barry
rented one of the rooms, ami that he was not
in the city. A call at the railro.nl depots con
vinced him that the organ had not l>een
shipped out of town. His the ry is thit
Barry had the furniture ami organ carried to
tiie place, and then, after selling them to
someone in Macon, left oa a convenient train
for other fields.
The Baltimore Sun gives the following ad
ditional details of the Granberry suicide, al
ready mentioned in the Morning News:
Joseph L. Granberry, aged 30 years, and un
married, au entry clerk in the drv goods
house of Johnson. .Sutton & Cos., in Hopkins
place, near German street, committed suicide
iu a bedroom iu Daly’s restaurant, 10 St. I’aul
street, Friday night, by cutting the radial
ami ulnar arteries at the right wrist and
bleeding to death. He entered the restaurant
shortly after Bo’clock Friday night amt en
g *ged a room, saying he was tired and would
not go home that night. Patrick Gilmore, the
barkeeper, and a colored waiter, who showed
him to his mom, noticed that he had been
drinking rather heavily, but he took nothing
ttiere. at 10 o’clock morning water
was noticed running from under the door of
Granberry’s room. Joseph Parker looked in
through the transom and saw the young man
lying on the side of tiie bed. lie thought
something wrong and told John W. Daly, son
of the proprietor, and he in turn summoned
Police Sergeant Ryan. The door was locked
<>n the inside ami they forced it open, bran
berry was found to he dead, and the gash in
his wrist showed the cause. Avery sharp
ink eraser and a small pocket-knife were
found on the floor near the young man’s feet,
which hung over the side of the bed. Tiie bed
was not disarranged and everything in the
room was in order, except a chair and the
water-pitcher near the bed, which were up
set. There was little blood on the ink eraser,
while the knife was covered with it. showing
that the eraser had been used first and the
knife afterwards. Granberry had taken his
shoes oil - and placed them carefully against
the wall. His cuffs, slightly stained with
blood, were found on the bureau, showing
that he had found them an impediment after
he tiegan the cutting and removed them. 11 is
right arm was extended ami hung over the
sine of the lied, allowing the blood to run into
a slop jar placed beneath. Everything went
to show that it was a deliberate suicide.
Granberry lived with his brother. Win. M.
Granberry, who is bookkeeper tor Johnson,
Nation A Cos., at 34 Norih Strieker street, lie
was it popular young man, but of late lias
been troubled with a lung affection. He was
very inueli afraid of becoming au invalid ou
somebody’s hands. Coroner Hill held an in
quest on the case, the jury liudiuga verdict of
suicide. The bo*iy was taken In charge bv
ins brother. They came from Americus, Ga!,
seve-al years and their family still reside
there.
Griffin Xtics: A r .thcr curious proceeding
took place at the City Clerk's office Saturday.
Thcr gist ration bo ks were closed according
to law on Friday evening. On Nov. 7 notice
was inserted in the Daily Xews to the effect
that the l*ooks would be open for the registra
tion of the legal voters of the city for tlie years
is-t and Isgj, on Nov. 12, and remain open 10
days. This notice appeared for 5 days prior
to the opening of the Itooks, as the'law re
mind. On the morning ol Nov. IS, being 20
days t>efore the day o! tlie election, as the law
required, the books were duly opened aDd
kept open until Friday night, when they were
closed, having been opened 10 days and hav
ing closed 10 days prior to the election, as the
law required. All these proceedings were
done by Thomas Nail, who has been City
Cl* rl. for many years, and who |>erfectly nn
derstauds thedutiesof his office. The require
ments of the law were fulfilled, a large regis
tration was had and it was supposed that the
bo ks were permanently closed. But Satur
day morning the Marshal notified the Alder
men that the proper authorities had called a
meeting of tlie Council, and aecordiugly
Messrs. Boyd, Drake, Burr, Deane, George
and Word repaired to the office of the Clerk,
in the brick warehouse. Mr. Boyd acted as
Chairman pro tent., and it was moved that
the registration books be opened and kepi
open until ft o'clock in the evening. Tlie mo
tion was voted for by Messr*. Burr. George,
Word, and, we understand, by Mr. Drake.
Mr. Deane not voting, and was declared
carried and the Clerk instructed toopeu the
books accordingly. Mayor Hudson, upon
whom devolves the legal calling together of
the Council, and who was known to be in the
city, had meanwhile been apposed of what
was going on and appeared upon the scene
and earnestly protested against the whole
proceeding; and when he founil that the Al
dermen were determined to go through with
their action at once gave notice of illegality.
The books were opened and about eight
or ten men who had neglected to regi-ter
were at once put down, followed by a long
string of names of parties who bad already
registered. but whom the clerk was ordered
to ptu down again to make a xood list. The
action of this meeting is spoken of by lawyers
as being as illegal as it certainly was
extraordinary, and the opinion is freely ex
pressed that it will work injury to the ticket
in whose interest it was done." If the election
should depend ui>on tne votes of the half
dozen men registered Saturday then it will
itself lie subject to contest, as if the registra
tration books were legally closed Saturday
night, the only nine davs can elapse until the
day of election, instead of ten as required by
the law. To-day, being Sunday, and a rfi>*
non. cannot b? taken as the starting i>oint to
count from, and tbeeleetion comesofl Wednes
day. Dec. 3. or nine days from Monday.

: Capitol Commissioners here on Dec. 3.
Messrs. Edbrooke & Burnham, archi
| tects, and Messrs. Miles & Horn, the con
tractors, will be present to take part in
the deliberations of The body. Among the

A few days ago Richard Smith, a clerk
in a tVhitehall street dry goods store in
this city, wrote a letter to his brother at
Wilkesbarre, Pa., which was a won
derful production of sensational mat
ter, in which the negroes were pictured as
being badly treated and abused here on
election day and on the day of the Cleve
land celebration. An extract from the
letter was published in Wilkesbarre and
produced here.
SMITH HUNTED DOWN.
Smith was called upon by a reporter
ar.d interviewed. He denied*having writ
ten some portions of the letter, and ad
mitted others as l>eing correct according
to the rumor, and stated some of the in
formation in the letter he got from James
Parker, a mail carrier. The publication
of the letter here created much indigna
tiou, and before breakfast this morning
several people were at the store hunting
for Smith. He hid, and has been in de
mand all day. This afternoon James
Parker, who is stalwart in form, met
Smith, and asked him to retract his state
ment with reference to Parker furnishing
him with some of the inlormation. This
Smith refused to do, and Parker hit him a
hard blow, sending him on his back
sprawling. Parker followed up his first
blow with several others, and would no
doubt have knocked a dozen holes in
Smith but for the arrival of police.

Macon, Ga„ Nov. 25. —Two freight
trains collided on the Central Railroad
last night, a short distance beyond Gris
woldville. Roth left Macon on the same
schedule. While the first train was go
ing up a grade the train parted in two.
The engine of the second train ran into
the cab of the detached cars of the first
train, which had nearly conie to a stand
still when the collision occurred. Both
trains were running too close together.
The accident could not be avoided. Six
cars were thrown from the track and
wrecked. A conductor was in the cab
when the engine struck it, but he escaped
injury. No one was hurt on either train.
The midnight passenger trains arriving
and leaving Macon were delayed over five
hours. Several accidents have occurred
on this same grade. Engineer Crosby was
killed there.
Suit was heard in Bibb Superior Court
to-day for SIO,OOO damages against the
Central Railroad for injuries to Matt Free
man in a collision on this grade a short
time ago.
The legislative committee on the blind
academy at Macon and the lunatic asy
lum at Milledgeville returned to Atlanta
to-night, having spent the day examining
these State institutions. They report the
affairs of both institutions in excellent
condition and the management entirely
satisfactory.
BALLOT BOXES DESPOILED.
Four Stolen and the Others Emptied of
Their Contents at Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Nov. 25.— The recount
of the vote for the office of County Treas
urer and County Commissioner at
the late election having been demanded
bv the defeated Republican candidates
the commissioners met to-dav to begin
work. Thev found, on entering the room
in the court house where the ballots are
kept, that the boxes of four precincts had
been carried off and that the ballots in
the others had been emptied on the floor,
and so mixed up with the ballots of 1882
as to make it impossible to separate
them. This will probably defeat the
efforts of the unsuccessful candidates to
secure the offices. The majority of the
present successful candidates were less
than 50.
In the Circuit Court this afternoon the
counsel for the Democrats made a motion
to vacate the order for a recount.
Judge Ayres after hearing the argu
ment denied the motion, but gave the
counsel until 2o’clock to-morrow afternoon
to file authorities in support of the mo
tion. The Board of State canvassers con
tinued its work to-day. A number of
unimportant irregularities were dis
covered, which wiil delay the footing up
of the result until to-morrow.

Mr. Randall’s Committee Meets at
Washington Sab-Committees Ap
pointed.
W ashxngton, Nov. 25. —The House
Committee on Appropriations met to-day
at the capitol to map out their work for
the next session of Congress. Chairman
Itandall and Messrs. Townshend, Follet
and Ryan were present, and Messrs.
Keifer, Holman and Forney were repre
sented by others. The estimates for the
six annual bills, namely, the post office,
Indian, consular and diplomatic, army,
navy and military academy, were placed
in the hands of sub-coinmittees, and it is
expected that one or more ot these meas
ures will be in readiness for consideration
by the whole committee when the session
begins next Monday. The sub-divisions
of the committee as agreed on to-day are:
Legielatire, Executive and Judicial.— Messrs.
Ho man, Hancock and Cannon.
Sundry Civil.— Messrs. Randall, Forney and
Ryan.
Army.— Messrs. Forney, Townshend and
Keifer.

RANDALL AND THK NAVY.
Mr. Randall will have a conference
with the Secretary of the Navy to-morrow*
on the subject of the naval appropriations
for the final six months of the current
fiscal year, ending June 30, 18S5. It is
thought that last year’s appropriations
will be continued for that period as was
done at the last session for six months
from July 1, and thus the question of
making an appropriation for tbe pro
posed new cruisers on which the two
Houses came to a deadlock last session,
will be left for the next Congress. Mr.
Randall would not express an opinion on
this subject, or as to any part of the pol
icy of the committee, remarking simply
that he did not yet know what would be
done.
CONKLING’S RETENTION.
Text of the Correspondence Incident to
His Engagement.
New York, Nov. 25.— The following is
the correspondence that took place when
Mr. Conkling’s services as counsel were
secured by the Democratic Committee
New York, Nov. 8, 1884.
Mv Dear Sir—There seems to he reason to
apprehend a design to involve in litigation
and uncertainty the Presidential election iu
this Stiite and perhaps elsewhere. The
Democratic Committee have no doubt
of the result of the election, arid
wish to establish the exact truth in the
mode prescribed by law. At tne same
time the wish is strong to spare the country a
period of agitation aud excitement. We ask
you, as counsel, to give such advice anil sug
gest such action as will aid in a prompt and
lawful ascertainment of the truth. This is aP
we mean ourselves, and all we sl.ai! expect of
you. Yours respectfully, W. E. Smith,
Chairman Executive Committee.
To lion, floscoe Conkliny, Mo. i Wall street ,
Mete York.
CONKLING'S REPLY.
New York, Nov. 10, 1884.
My Dear Sir—Your letter of the day before
yesterday has been carefully considered. I
am iu full accord with the purpose you de
clare Nothing could be more plainly 'hurtful
to the Stale of New York and the country
than a successful attempt to confuse ami en
snarl the results of the late Presidential elec
tion. The modes of the law, quietly and hon
estly observed, will quickly reveal and
establish the actual truth. To assist
in assuring this is clearly resting on
every citizen, regardless of his party
attachments. I am at the service of your
committee for all in my power in this behalf,
and for all I can do to proven’ and oppose any
effort to dispute by technicalities the verdict
which has been rendered or to hinder or delay
its acceptance. Your obedient servant,
Roscoe Conkling.

BRAND GIVEN HIS SEAT.
The Recount of the Votes Increases His
Majority by 50.
Chicago, Nov. 25.— 1n the Leman-
Brand election contest, after a protracted
argument in the Federal court to-day.
Judge Blodgett held that the ballots must
be produced before the grand jury to be
examined. The ballots, however, are to
be canvassed solely with a view to ascer
tain whether they have been tampered
with in connection with the vote tor Con
gressmen, so tbat the investigation is not
expected to have any bearing on the
Leman-Brand Senatorial tight, except in
a general way. The canvass began at 2
o’clock.
The canvass of tbe votes begun at 2
o’clock this afternoon and was
not completed till late to-night.
The result of the jury’s work has
not been made public officially, but
the Times will state that the Brand-
Lemfin matter has been examined, and
that it showed that Brand, the Democrat,
received, in fact, about 25 votes more than
he was credited with on the
tally sheet, wjile Leman received
a correspondingly fewer number,
making Brand’s majority in that
precinct about 00 instead of 10, that the
ballots were all in proper order and con
secutively numbered, and tbat Brand’s
extra vote over other Democrats on the
ticket was due to the presence of some
hundreds of Republican tickets, which
contained Brand’s name, not pasted on,
but printed in a regular form with the
rest of the ticket.
THE CENTENNIAL LEGION.
Maj McLean Reorganizing it for the
Cleveland Inauguration.
New York, Nov. 25.—Maj. George W.
McLean is actively engaged in reorganiz
ing the Centennial Legion, which was
formed in 1876 and participated in the
various centennial celebrations of that
year, for the purpose of taking part in the
inauguration of our Centennial Presi
dent on March 4 next. The Legion is to
consist of one company of 100 men from
each of the original thirteen States, to be
organized in battalions as follows:
One companv[each from New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con
necticut. one each from New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, and
one each from Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
Each battalion is to have field officers of
their selection, and each company is to
number not less than 80 men. The rank
of the field officers is to be determined by
the officers so selected,they to appoint staff
officers of command. As soon as responses
have been received from the commands
to which the communications have been
sent a committee will be appointed
with headquarters in New York,
consisting of the officers of one
company from each of the three sub
divisions, to co-operate 'with and assist
the field officers, the legion to rendezvous
at Washington, and report for duty on the
morning of March 4,1885.
WASHINGTON’S COM ING CRUSH.
Kaltiinore to Aid in Housing the In
auguration Week Throng*.
Washington, Nov. 25.—1 t has been
definitely determined that the Democratic
National Committee will have general
charge of the anrangements for the in
auguration procession ceremonies and
festivities. The committee will be aided
by the citizens of Washington irrespec
tive of party. People who are desirous of
visiting Washington on March 4 should
not be frightened away by the reports
that the city will be fairly overflowing
with visitors from all parts of the coun
try. There is no doubt that the crowds
will be enormous, but they will be accom
modated here and in Baltimore. The lat
ter city is only an hour’s journey by rail
from Washington, and many thousands of
people can easily find comfortable lodg
ing in Baltimore inauguration week, and
can go to and fro between the two cities
at any hour of the day or night.

TRAVESTIES OX JUSTICE.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWS
TER ADVOCATES REFORM.
Neglect of Duty by the United States
Supervisors of Election Reported—The
Corruption of the Jury System of the
District jof Columbia a Disgrace to the
Country;
W'ashinViton, Nov. 25. —The annual
report of Attorney General Brewster was
completed to-day. He renews his recom
mendation in former reports, that the fee
system of the payment of United States
Marshals be abolished and the salary sys
tem be substituted.
With reference to the chief supervisors of
elections, be says tbat “the statutes ths t create
chief supervisors of elections an*l define their
duties and fix their compensation do not
place them under the control of any depart
ment of the government. For years approval
of their accounts and disbursements of
the appropriation for their payment have de
veloped on the Attorney General. Under the
authority thus thrust upon them iny prede
cessors have examined the accounts of these
officers an*l exposed and checked many unnec
essary expenses, and I have also lia*l occasion
to make large reductions while investigating
these accounts. Reductions have been made
in instances where the services appeared to
be merely constructive and their payment in
judicious. The head of some of the depart
ments ought to have the duty assigned to him
to regulate these matters, and to systematize
the work of the chief of supervisors.
PUBLIC INTERESTS NOT REGARDED.
‘ At present they don’t show su tficien t regard
for public interests and a proper execution of
the law to entitle them to interpret it accord
ing to their own wishes. In the matter of
their compensation they arc too easily led in
to ingenious devices for creating large hills.
Tiie department to which this duty is assigned
must he empowered to review their whole
proceedings and adjust their claims upon
scales suited to the locality, density of
population and the emergency of ’ the
occasion. It is suggested that all accounts
of the chief sujiervisors should he
inspected in open court under the inspection
and examination of the District Attorney or
his sworn assistant, and they must he seen
forwarded to the proper department for fur
ther and reduction if deemed
advisable and necessary. These laws arc of
the highest importance to the general wel
fare, and tlieir proper execution a mutter of
prime necessity. Tlieir abuse on the other
hand is a great public wrong to be guarded
against b.. appropriate legislation.”
SENSELESS VERBOSITY.
The Attorney General directs the attention
of Congress to the vant of proper legislation
for criminal cases. In preparing indictments,
he says, for offenses against the United States
it is found necessary to follow the com
mon law forms of the last century, with all
the technicalities, verbosity of description,
repetitions and precision of statements form
erly required, whereby that which should be
a simple anil concisely written accusation be
comes a lengthy and painfully confused
mass of descriptions anil allegation-,
wholly unintelligible to the defendant,
who is called upon to answer, or to the jury
selected to try the case. To reduce pleadings
to a plain and comprehensive statement of
facts would serve equally to the advantage of
the government and the defendant. There is
no reason why au indictment otiglit not to he
adjudged sufficient and good in law which
charges a crime substantially in the language
of the act prohibiting the crime aud prescrib
ing the punishment, or so plainly that the
nature of the offense charged may be easily
understood by a jury. He describes the cum
bersome methods io technical embarrass
ments, whereby punishment is postponed aud
avenues opened for guilty people to escape.
OTHER INCONGRUITIES.
Among oilier incongruities he calls atten
tion to the fact that in the absence of any law
upon the subject, the manner of conduct
ing challenges and impaneling juries i
wholly iu the discretion of the court. J t is a
general subject of complaint, he save, among
lawyers who are called into the var onscourls
that the difference which exists in the prac
tice in the several courts, in the matter o*
peremptory challenges, subjects them not only
to great annoyance, but often leaves them in
danger of losing the right which the
law has granted to the defendant
whom they represent. Another cause
lor controversy is when prisoners are jointly
indicted whether they can demand separate
trials, and whether, when jointly tried, each
defendant shall have separate peremptory
challenges, or they shall all he considered as
one person, with only the challenge that one
person is allowed. All the doubts and diffi
culties which arc here enumerated could
easily he abrogated by the pas.-age of law
providing a uniform and comprehensive sys
tem of challenges. The Attorney General
says the evi s that surround the Jury system
in the District of Columbia demand condem
nation. He enumerates the evils, among
taeui being the limited number of peo
ple who can by law be compelled
to se vc, and the unnecessary hardships im
posed on those hu are c mpelled to serve.
JURY HARDSHIPS.
lie ca Is attention to the extraordinary fact
that service as jurors in the district means
an enforced attendance at court and almost a
total abandonment of private business for one
fourth of the whole year—a hardship and in
justice that is not imposed upon citizens in
any other place in the United States, and
would not he tolerated in any community
where the people have a voice in framing
tlieir own laws. He says: “It is a subject of
belief and common repor. that the bus
iness of jury fixing nourishes to
an alarming extent in the
District. It is asserted that men
live, support their families, and even become
rich in the practice of this nefarious profes
sion. Such a practice or profession exists to
some extent in nearly every large city, under
the best devised jury systems, an l notwith
standing the care, attention and large re
ward thrown around the juries to prevent
their being tampered with. But as the jury
system now exists that unscrupulous men
should safely conduct 3 lucrative business in
debauching juries in the district should occa
sion no surprise.”
The Attorney General recommends that the
jurisdiction of the United States Circuit and
District Courts for the judicial district of
Maryland he extended for purposes of secur
ing trial in such courts, and before juries
drawn from the entire State of Maryland, of
cases involving crimes committed in tne Dis
trict of Columbia against the United States.
A PREY FOR THE WORLD.
The National Treasury, he says, is a great
centre of allurement and temptation. In
roads are made upon it through all the ave
nues by which it can be approached. All
plans to defraud the government, no matter
where contrived, are mostly consummated in
Washington, and when the guilty parties are
arrested their trial must of necessity take
place before a jury drawn in the district. The
arrest of one set of defendants brings to
them the sympathy ar.d active aid of
all others who are engaged in similar schemes.
If the defendants are wealthy, as is often the
ease, by a liberal expenditure of money
they secure tiie acquaintance and friend
snip of prominent men who are of a so
cial disposition, and whose open anti public,
association and companionship with the de
fendants is not without its helpful effect
when the case is called for trial. The govern -
meal stands alone and opposed by many dis
advantages, while tne defendants, aided not
only by their wealth, the encouragement and
influence of their friends, nut by a certain
feeling of indifference, which seems to prevail
in Washington concerning such crimes, are
permitted to depart from the court room tri
umphing in their acquittal, escaping punish
ment and the scandal arising about the ad
ministration of justice. Such lias been lhe
case before, and such will occur again, so long
as the national treasury is confined solely to
the protection of local juries.
VIRGINIA JUBILEES.
Norfolk and Petersburg Celebrate the
Grand Victory.
Norfolk, Va., Nov. 25.—The Demo
cratic demonstration took place to-night
in honor of the election of Cleveland and
Hendricks. It was participated in by
delegations from all the cities and counties
in this Congressional district, and was
the grandest affair of the kind ever seen
in Tidewater Virginia. Thousands of men
were in line. The city was brilliantly
illuminated.
THE JUBILEE AT PETERSBURG.
Petersburg, Nov. 25.— The Democratic
demonstration to-night was the grandest
affair of the kind ever witnessed in Pe
tersburg. The streets through which the
procession passed were thronged with
people, including many ladies. In addi
tion to those on foot there were in line
about 300 mounted men, many of whom
came from the surrounding country to
take part in the parade. There were also
a number of colored men in line. The
stores and residences along the line of
march were handsomely illuminated and
the streets were brilliant with fireworks.
The procession was brought to a halt at
Central Park, where there was a fine py
rotechnic display, and where a number of
speeches were delivered.
Coleridge Bitterly Denounced.
London, Nov. 25.—The World, Edmund

only motherless daughter of an upright
and eloquent iudge, to whose lips the
holiest sentiments spring from a guileless
and chivalrous heart, was on board wages
at her father’s house on the same footing

distressing tale of parsimony, meanness
and cruelty in the Judge’s household.

THE WESTERN UNION.
A Card from President Green as to the
Recent Charges as to Kleetion Returns.
Washington, Nov. 25,—The following
explains itself:
Executive Office ,
Western - Union Telegraph Company,?
New York, Nov. 25, 1884. )
To the Public :
Now since the Presidential election is settled
aud the excitement incident to a close politi
cal contest has abated, it is proper to sav that
we are prepared to show most conclusively the
utter groundlessness of all charges against
the W estern Union Telegraph Company of
partiality in reporting or withholding’the
election returns of the State of New York. I
deny in the most emphatic manner that the
Western Union Company delayed, altered or
withheld the election returns' of this State,
or any other State, or tampered with them in
any way. It had nothing whatever to do with
the returns ot the State of New York except
to transmit them over its hues as prepared by
the agents of the Associated Press. Ali the
returns of the State were collected by the As
sociated Press, all tiie compiling was done
in its offices by its o*vn agents,
aud all bulletins were prepared by it and
copies were simply delivereii to .Mr. Somer
ville, Superintendent of our newspaper ser
vice, for general distribution to the public.
This company had nothing to do with making
up the bulletins, nor did any officer or agent
or other person connected with or interested
in this company, except Hie operators who
transmitted the returns have access to or see
any of them until bulletins had been made up
therefrom in the Associated Press office and
handed to us for public distribution,
and I have no reason to be
lieve that the agents of the Associated
Press acted otherwise than in an impartial
manner. Ordinarily, many of our offices aro
not kept open for business after Bo’clock p. m.
To assist us in meeting the extraordinary ex
pense of the extra employment of several
thousand night operators we have had for
many years arrangements with the Press As
sociation giving us the privilege of selling
bulletins to political and social clubs and other
subscribing customers. We simply took tiie
Associated Press bulletins as that association
had made them up, and delivered them as
heretofore to customers who had subscribed
for them, nothing more.
The charge that returns were purposely
withheld, or that there was unusual delay in
reporting them, is entirely false. Instead of
such delay there was extraordinary prompt
ness. Never before have reports from somany
election districts been received within so short
a time. Withiu forty-eight hours after the
couut of the ballots began returns were re
ceived from its per cent, of the 3.000 election
districts in the State. Although the night of
the election was stormy aud there was some
trouble in working the wires, no
delay occurred in any reports handed
to our offices outside the city
or New York. Within the city the telegraph
service was as nearly perfect as it was possi
ble to make it, and the only trouble was with
some of the short wires hastily erected for
temporary use. It is here to be noted that
heretofore the majorities reported from the
most populous, and therefore the most acces
sible counties nave been so decisive that the
popular mind has been set at rest respecting
the result of elections on the first night, and
there being no hope or fear of a change in the
general result, subsequent returns more or
less tardy have straggled in unheeded.
In two instances in this Slate I have been in
formed that the county canvassers, who met
one week after the election this year, had to
adjourn over because the county clerks had
up to that time been unable to get in the vote
of tlieir counties. The only other returns
complained of were those of Indiana, where,
at the request of the political committees and
the press, 111 the absence of any agent of the
Associated Press, tiie reports came through
and were sent out by our Superintended,
Mr. J. F. Walleck, who insists that he used
every effort to obtain all the returns as speed
ily as possible. X consider the demand for an
investigation of that service made by the
Indianapolis Sentinel, and also by Mr.
Walleck himself, reasonable and proper; and
I have asked the Chairman of the Indiana
Democratic State Committee to take part in
the investigation, or to name a representa
tive to do so. The management of this com
pany in its business relations to the public is
strictly non-political and non-partisan. The
employes represent every shale of political
opinion, and are in the company’s service
solely by virtue of their proficiency as tele
graphers. What their individual political
opinions are lias never been in any
case called into question, nor have their
votes ever been canvassed or ascertained.
But of those with whom I personally came in
contact. I know that there are quite as many
Democrats as Republican*. It is therefore
manifestly absurd to charge that the com
pany could he converted into a party machine,
or r ould in any way distort or stifle the facts,
when such an attempted conspiracy could
only have been made by the aid of a large
number of members of tiie political party
which it was designed to injure.

dustrial Centres —The Pennsylvania
Carpet Weavers Unable to Eflfect a
Compromise aud the Strike Under Full
Headway.
Philadelphia, Nov. 25.—The striking
ingrain carpet weavers held a meeting
this afternoon at which fully 700 strikers
were present, as were also representa
tives of the Knights of Labor. The arbi
tration committee, which had been ap
pointed at the previous meeting to request
the manufacturers to withdraw the notice
of reduction in wages, reported that
several of the manufacturers declined
to confer with them, and that very
little satisfaction could be obtained from
any of them. The meeting thereupon de
cided to abolish the arbitration commit
tee, and to have no further communica
tion with tbe manufacturers. It was also
agreed to remain firm in their demand,
and not to return to work unless the old
rate of wages should be paid. A com
mittee was appointed to look after all per
sons in distress, and to furnish funds to
alleviate their suffering It was an
nounced that 600 weavers had already
affiliated themselves with the Knights of
Labor, and that 200 others would join.
Tne organization will be known as Ken
sington Assembly No. 1. The meeting
was addressed by Henry J. Skeffington,
District Organizer and tbe Master Work
man of the Knights of Labor, who ad
vised moderation, and exDressed the be
lief that tbe weavers, acting now as an
organized body would be successful in
their resistance of a reduction in their
wages.
THE WALTHAM COMPANY OVERSTOCKED.
Boston, Nov. 25.—The American
Watch Company of Waltham commenced
yesterday to reduce its f rce. Very many
employes received notice during the dav
that their services would not be required
after Dec. 6, and it was expected that as
many more will be similarly notified to
day. It is possible that the entire reduc
tion of the force will aggregate 600 or 700.
STRIKERS SURRENDER.
Weavers in the Whittenton mills, at
Taunton, who struck yesterday, returned
to work to-day at the reduction. The
statement telegraphed yesterday that the
mill company had conceded the demands
of the strikers was an error. It was the
strikers who weakened.
The North Bellingham, Mass., woolen
mills will go on three-fourths time on
Dec. 1.
TAUNTON’S STRIKING WEAVERS. *
Taunton, Mass., Nov. 27.—The weav
ers in the Whittenton mills went to work
this morning ou the promise of the man
agers that improvements would be made
enabling them to do more work than be
fore, and not on the restoration of the 10
per cent, reduction, as erroneously re
ported yesterday. Some of the younger
hands became dissatisfied, and started
out again at noon, against the remon
strance of the older hands, but when one
came out all the hands joined. At 2
o’clock they held a meeting to decide
what course to take. The sentiment ot
the meeting was that the managers are
going to do all they can to assist their
hands.
A RESUMPTION PROMISED.
Easton, Pa., Nov. 25. —It was an
nounced in Bethlehem this morning that

idleness in the west.
Cincinnati, Nov. 25—Next Saturday
the Fairmount Woolen Mills in this citj
will shut down for an indefinite period.
This is said to be in accordance with an
arrangement by all the woolen mills west
of the Allegbanies entered into by reason
of over-production and the dullness in
trade.
WIFE OF SIX HUSBANDS.
Youug Mr. Watson Appears in Court
and is Honorably Discharged.
The examination into the case of Mrs.
S. W. C. Tilbee against John C. Watson,
of Williamsburg, says the New York
Morning Journal of Nov. 23, was set down
for 2 o’clock yesterday at the Tombs Police
Court.
At that hour the defendant, who was
charged with attempting to pick Mrs.
Tilbee’s pockets on a Fourth avenue car,
was present, accompanied by his affi
anced, a handsome and dignified young
woman, and his counsel. Messrs. William
F. Howe and A. 11. Hutnin-d.
He was attired in a black diagonal suit
with an overcoat to match. His kid
gloted hands held a shiny high hat and a
gold-headed cane.
“Is Mrs. Tilbee in court?” cried Ser
geant Cahill. No answer came and he re
peated the call twice more.
Counsellor Howe advanced aud said to
Judge Duffv:
“If It please the court, I move for the
discharge of the defendant. This Mrs.
Tilbee, so-called, is one of the most noto
rious confidence women living and the
wife of six husbands. On one occasion
she attempted to force $lO from an officei
in this court. Another time she tried to
force a reporter to pay her SIO,OOO because
he reported a case in which she was in
volved. Her claim to be the widow ol
Judge Tilbee was ruled out by the Surro
gate when she contested his will.”
“Counsellor, do yt>u say this as an offi
cer ot the court?” asked Judge Duffy.
“I do, sir,” replied Mr, Howe.
Then, addressing Watson, His Honor
said: “You are honorably discharged.”
A WOMAN WANTS TO FIGHT.
Madame Lewis’ Challenge—Joe Madden,
of Bethlehem, Accepts.
A letter has been received from Madame
Lewis, the Cleveland female pugilist, says
a Pittsburg, Pa., special, in which she ex
presses a desire to fight any man in Pitts
burg four or six rounds with soft gloves
for from SIOO to S3OO and gate money, Mar
quis of Queensberry rules to govern. She
has placed a forfeit of $25 in the hands of
Capt. John Francisco, a well-known
sporting man of Cleveland. She appears
to mean business and says she is anxious
to meet some of the would-be boxers.
Upon receipt of this communication,
Jimmy Weeden, Dominick O’Connor and
a number of other local pugs were seen.
Jimmy and Dominick said they had no
desire to fight a woman. Joe Madden, a
Bethlehem, Pa., png of some note, has ac
cepted the challenge, and placed a lorfeit
of $25 in the hands of Jimmy Weeden to
day. His conditions are that he will fi<?ht
six rounds at Lafayette Hall three weeks
from the date of the articles, and in ac
cordance with the proposals of Madame
Lewis. Madden will commence training
at once.
Madame Lewis jv about 30 years old,
and Is said to be a capable athlete. She
is decidedly clever with the gloves. Mad
den’s fame is largely local, but he is a
recognized pug hereabouts. He can, he
says, stop the female in the first round.
In response to a telegram, Madame Lewis
says she will fight Madden on the date
and at the place named.
VASSAB’S CLEVELAND MARCH.
An Evening’s Jubilation Among the
Bachelor Governor’s Admirers.
Whatever glory attached to the parade
of the Blaine Vassar girls, says a Pough
keepsie special of Nov. 22, it is conceded
that it has been completely overshadowed
by the paracie of the Cleveland girls of
Vassar. The two prettiest girls in the
Cleveland ranks were chosen to carry the
banner bearing the likeness of the bach
elor President-elect. The handsomest
lady professor, who teaches Greek and
square roots, acted as drum-major. All
the girls carried brooms and charged in
line, wheeled and deployed in the most
bewitching manner. The President was
so startled by the musical cheers of the
girls that he knocked over a cup of
tea and trod on the tail of his pet
cat in his hurry to see what was the mat
ter. The cry:
Grover, Grover,
Wa k over.
Marry in baste
And live in clover.
told him that the college was not on fire,
and he retired smiling. Class songs were
sung. Roman candles were fired from
dainty hands, and after a march
three times round the college the pretty
paraders retired to their rooms and talked
it over until “lights out.”
ENGLAND TO MEDIATE.
A Peaceable Solution of the Franco-
Chinese Difficulty Again Probable.
London, Nov. 25.—A dispatch from
Shanghai says; “The action of the
French has driven China to reopen tbe
Tonquin question, and it is asserted that
she will ask for England’s mediation. The
Secretaries of Prince Li assert that they
saw Capt. Fournier, who negotiated the
Tien Tsen treaty for France, make
erasures in the treaty.”
A Pekin correspondent telegraphs that
the British Minister to China is inactive,
and that the breach is widening between
China and France. The Tsang Li Yatnen
is calmly confident of China’s powers,
and has decided to reject Capt. Fournier’s
May Convention as tfie basis for negotia
tions. It will reopen the whole question.
peace negotiations.
M. Waddmgton, the French Ambassa
dor to England, and Marquis Tseng are
conducting negotiations through Earl
Granville, the British Foreign Secretary,
which gives promise that a peaceful
settlement of the dispute between France
and China may be reached. The main
points of an agreement which would
be satisfactory to China and France
are known to both diplomats.
These indicate that both countries must
make large concessions. China repudi
ates all responsibility for the Langsou
affair, but will make honorable concession
to France to secure a peaceful settlement.
England will be satisfied it she can be tbe
means of restoring the former accord be
tween France and Cbina.
TUE DEBATE IN THK DEPUTIES.
Paris, Nov. 25.—1n the Chamber of
Deputies to-day the debate was resumed
on the Tonquin credit bill. M. Ferry, in
an address defending the course of the
government and advocating colonial ex
pansion, said that it behooved France, as a
great maritime and civilizing power, to
possess colonies. He contended that the
conquerors of Tonquin was worth the
sacrifices it demanded.
M. Anatole de la Forge opposed the bill,
and declared the Chinese qutmion un
worthy the sacrifice of a single French
soldier. He considered the colonial policy
of tbe government as being out of the
question while the provinces of Alsace
and Lorraine were in the hands of for
eigners.
M. Granet, Republican, and others
pressed the government to make a clear
statement of its intentions with regard to
the Chinese question. The debate was
adjourned until to-morrow.
THE MUDDLE IN EGYPT.
Gladstone and His Colleagues Concoct a
New Financial Scheme.
London, Nov. 25.—1n tbe House of
Commons last evening Air. Gladstone
stated that the government had no inten
tion of proposing a second conlerence ol
the powers in regard to Egyptian affairs.
The new Egyptian financial proposals
were sent to the different powers inter
ested to-night. Right Hon. George J.
Josephen, who was the English special
commissioner to Constantinople front 1880
to 1881, assisted Prime Minister Gladstone
and Earl Granville to draw up the
scheme. Premier Gladstone at the out
set favored the adoption of Lord North
brook’s propositions which were sub
mitted to the Ministers soon after
his return from Egypt, but the oppo
sition shown thereto by one section
of the Cabinet, which threatened the dis
ruption of the Ministry, caused their
rejection. The scheme which has been
adopted by the Cabinet insists upon a
reduction of the interest of the debt
publique and interest upon the shares of
the Suez canal stock held by the English
stockholders. Premier Gladstone has
requested Mr. Josephen to go as special
envoy to the governments at Paris, Ber
lin and Vienna to support the measure at
those courts.
KHARTOUM HARD PRESSED.
Dongola, Nov. 25.—Spies who have
arrived here report that the forces of El
Mahdi encamped around Khartoum num
ber between 15,000 and 20,000 men. Cattle
and native produce are still procurable
for a long distance south of Dongola.
The British troops are moving on to
Hardouk, 20 miles south of here, so as to
avoid the small-pox contagion which pre
vails at this point among the natives
Rumors have reached here to the effect
that an epidemic of cholera prevails
among the troops of El Mahdi in Kordo
fan.
GROVER TO DINE WITH ARTHUR
The President Preparing to Warmly
Greet the Nation’s New Kuler.
Mr. Cleveland may have no occasion to
use the handsome apartments reserved
for him at the Arlington Hotel, says a
Washington special of Nov. 23. it can be
stated on good authority that Mr. Ar
thur has invited the President-elect to
make his headquarters at the White House
when he reaches the capital. This is con
tinuing a precedent established by Hayes.
Hayes Invited Gen. Garfield to the White
House, and also gave a dinner in his
honor the night before Mr. Garfield’s in
auguration. Mr. Arthur is making ar
rangements to give Mr. Cleveland a din
ner. Mr. Cleveland has as yet given no
indication of his acceptance of the invi
tation, but his friends accept for him in
advance, and say the President-elect is
greatly pleased at Mr. Arthur’s courtesv.
There are a few Republicans who are
inclined to resent Mr. Arthur’s course,
and a few Democrats who “think that
Mr. Cleveland cannot afford to accept tbe
Hospitalities of a Republican President.”
Happily, their number is not very large
on either side. The majority of Republi
cans applaud Mr. Arthur’s determina
tion, and not many Democrats will find
fault with Mr. Cleveland for accepting an
invitation so generously offered. The
friends ol President Arthur sav that he
believes the precedent established by
Hayes to be a good one, and that it should
be continued irrespective of party lines.
“Four years hence,” remarked Mr.
Arthur pleasantly to a friend, “Mr. Cleve
land mav be asked to perform the same
dutv for a Republican successor.”
At the dinner in Mr. Cleveland’s honor
there will be an imposing gathering of
political giants of both parties. The in
vitations may extend, it is said, to Gen.
Butler and Belva Lockwood, although it
is generally believed that St. John will be
left out in the cold on the assumption that
he would not feel easy at a dinner where
anything stronger than cold water is
served. The dinner will take the nature
of a love feast, but how long amicable
relations will endure among the political
warriors after March 4 need not be stated.
It will furnish a strong contrast to the
reception tendered by President John
Adams to Thomas Jefferson,his successor.
It will be remembered that Mr. Adams
rode out of Washington on horseback the
night of March 3 in order not to be pres
ent to witness the inauguration of his
successful rival.
British Party Matters.
London, Nov. 24.—1n tbe House of
Commons to-day Premier Gladstone gave
notice that be hoped to introduce the re
distribution bill next Monday and move its
second reading the following Thursday.
The income tax bill passed its tnird
reading to-day.
The Marquis of Salisbury will call a
meeting of the Conservative leaders to
consider the Gladstone redistribution
bill.
Gladstone and the Marquis of Salisbury
have arrived at a definite agreement upon
the redistribution bill. Joseph Chamber
lain, President of the Board of Trade, still
resists the Radical pressure and continues
to support his colleagues. Tbe Cabinet is
thus united upon the question. Debate
upon the second reading of tbe bill is ex
pected to be short. Parliament will ad
journ about Dec. 12.
Priests on a Strike.
There are in Rome large numbers of
priests who suffer all the pangs of extreme
poverty, says the Boston Transcript , but
who are now up in arms against those
who enjoy rich prebendaries. One of the
poverty-stricken class of priests recently
drew his own picture and that of his fel
lows in the Capitate: “There may be seen
in Rome,” lie wrote, “many monsignori
who enjoy five or more benefices at once,
and, on the other hand, priests so squalid
and ragged that they are the very images
of poverty. Such priests receive 1 franc
for celebrating mass and 60 centesimi for
a burial. In Rome they form a distinct
class, and are a striking contrast to the
fat clergy. They are known at once by
iheir dress and manners: the former dirty
and shabby, the latter humble and timid.
They wander about th<* holes and corners
of old Rome, with their yellow faces
framed by greasy three-cornered hats, and
you can fancy, on beholding them, all the
misery, hunger and often utter depriva
tion that induces them to adopt all sorts
of occupations.”

AN ALLEGED PREACHER’S STORY.
The following is from a well-known
preacher iu southwest Virginia, and is
entitled to full respect:
The latest advices concerning the epidemic
iu \\ ise, Lee, Dickinson and Buehman conn
ties are heartrending. On Guest’s river, in
a ise county, itliin a radius of four uiiies,
there are thirty cases of tlio disease. In one
instance father, mother and six children
died. Many persons die for want of atten
tion. Business is suspended, all being con
cerned with the (tick and (tying. Six persons
were buried in one graveyard in one dav.
fhe disease is assuming a milder form In
some localities. Not less than 175 of the best
citizens of Wise coumy alone havedied. I)ur
ng the last few d*ys the disease lias made
its appearance in I,ee county, and several
deaths hiive occurred. More worthy people
never called more loudly for relief than these.
They need nurses, medicines, and a commit
tee of intelligint physicians to diagnose the
disease and stop its horrible march.
The Lynchburg correspondent gives
neither the name ot the preacher referred
to, the date ol his letter, nor the date of
his “latest advices.”
