EFFECTS OF THE ATLANTA CONVENTION.
Congressman Darwin R. James, of
Brooklyn, arrived here to-night from At
lanta, where he went as a delegate to the
Commercial Convention. Mr. James is
greatly pleased over the result ot the con
vention. which he says will prove of in
calculable benefit to the business interests’
ot' the country. He says that the South
is waking up to the necessity of action
upon the silver and bankruptcy questions,
and that there is a rapidly growing belief
ill the South that a bankruptcy law should
be enacted, and that the coinage of stand
ard silver dollars should be suspended.
“What results do you expect from the
convention?” he was asked.
“I think,” he replied, “that the effect
will be seen in Congress next winter, and
that the advocates of a general bankrupt
law will receive large reinforcements from
the South. The fact that more than half
the votes in favor ot the resolution declar
ing that silver coinage should be sus
pended came from the Southern members
convinces me that the South is willing to
aid in the settlement of the silver problem,
and I believe that a bill to suspend the
coinage of the standard silver dollar will
receive many votes from the section which
has heretofore been almost solidly against
us.”
“Will you make any use of the proceed
ings of the convention ?”
“The New York Board of Trade, of
which 1 am a member, will collect and
print the speeches for circulation in the
Smith, and 1 think the result will be bene
ficial.”
OFFENSIVE PARTISANS MUST GO.

1* cod—Miri Coming l)ep<irture.
New York, June 2.—Gen. Grant slept
seven hours last night, and both Dr.
Douglas and Col. Fred Grant stated this

rested after his sleeplessness of Sunday
night.
l)r. Douglas said this evening that the
swelling outside and inside Gen. Grant’s
throat hail so far abated that the parts
were now examined with greater ease
than at any time since the General’s seri

Douglas expects that the General will
have lelt the city before the last week of
this month.

made for the rest of the journey. Col.
Grant to-night said that his father had
passed a quiet day to-day. He suffered
less pain than on Monday, and he seemed
brighter. “His book is now
entirely off his mind,” said Col.
Grant, “and what he now does
is more amusement than otherwise for
father. I don’t see that there is a reac
tion after the completion of -his work.
Though marked by periods of a week at a
time, l don’t know but there is a diminu
tion of strength and increased feebleness.
He is growing thinner as to his flesh. He
is very quiet to-night.”

COLORED APPKEf 'IATION.
Cleveland Commended for Removing
Hazlehurst’s Postmaster.

club in the Eleventh ward of this city has
adopted resolutions thanking President
Cleveland for his humane sympathy iu
rebuking the Democratic party of Hazle
hurst. Miss., by withholding the commis
sion of J. L. Meade, who was, the resolu
tions state, “the head and front of tbe
outrages committed on our race in
Copiah county.” These resolutions will
tie sent to tbe President with assurances
that the organization will use every effort
to support him in his administration, and
the significance of this is apparent from

Mr. Holyer, has long been quite a promi
nent leader among the Republicans of
this city.

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, JUNE )>, 1885.
HEADLONG TO HIS DEATH.
EX-AUDITOR REYNOLDS DROPS
DOWN AN AIK SHAFT.
Contllctinic Theories of Suicide ami Ac
cident Alloat—Three Stories Traversed
During the Fall and the End Met on
the MarlPe Flopr of the tlltloe.
St. Louis, June 2.—R. M. Reynolds,
late First Auditor of the United States
Treasury Department, killed himself this
morning at the Southern Hotel. There is
an air shalt in the hotel, over the rotunda,
which cuts through the different floors.
At 5:55 o’clock this morning Mr. Rey
nolds either jumped or fell over the rail
ing on the third story into the air shaft.
He struck on the marble floor of the ro
tunda and was picked up dead.
HIS KOOM FULL OK GAS.
Reynolds’ room was full of gas,
although the stopcock was closed, hence
the theory is held that it must be a case
of suicide, and that after a failure to
asphyxiate himself he took the terrible
dive to the marble floor below. Mr.
Reynolds had made a careful toilet this
morning. He has been in St. Louis since
Saturday last, stopping with C. H. Albers,
but lett that gentleman’s house and put
up at the hotel last night. He was in ex
cellent spirits when last seen alive, and
no motive can be suggested for suicide.
He was on bis way to Kansas City to buy
land. He left the United States Treasury
only a couple of weeks ago. He was a
fine looking, healthy man, about 60 years
of age.
WASHINGTON’S THEORIES.
Washington, June 2.—The friends in
this city of ex-First Auditor Reynolds do
not think that he committed suicide.
They say that he was subject to attacks
of vertigo and suffered intensely from
other maladies, and assume that his mind
was affected when he fell through the air
shaft in the Southern Hotel at St. Louis.
He was in comfortable circumstances, so
that the loss of his office could not be
supposed to have driven him to self
destruction. Mr. Reynolds was born in
Ohio, but settled in Alabama at the
expiration of his service as Colonel in the
army during the war. He was appointed
First Auditor in 187S.

CLARA SUGGS’ CONFESSION.
She Implicates Herself, Miss Frazier
and Kose In the Famous Murder.
Atlanta, Ga., June 2.--It transpires
that Clara Suggs before her death by her
own hand, iu Gainesville, stated that she
was instrumental in the death ot Mrs.
Rose, who was murdered in this city
about a year ago. Clara Suggs said that
she and Miss Frazier, who died a lew
months ago, were both present at the
murder, and that Rose was also impli
cated in the crime, though another man
was hired to fire the shot. It is charged
that Rose was engaged to both Miss
Suggs and Miss Frazier. The latter died
in childbirth and said that Rose was the
lather of her child. Mrs. Rose was
shot through the right eye, aud when Miss
Frazier’s child was born it had no
right eye. The confessions of Clara
Suggs, taken in connection with the state
ments made by Miss Frazier before her
death, create considerable excitement
here. The statements of neither one were
preserved in a iortu which can be used in
court. Rose is still here, tint if he is
guilty of the murder of his wile every
witness to his guilt has thus been re
moved, and he will hardly tie arrested.

nacle ure held twice a dav. great crowds
attending each service. Three thousand
people were present to-night.
ARGUING FOR CLUVKRIUB.
Col. Evans Finishes and Mr. Bollard
Follows In His Tracks.
Richmond, June 2.—A. B. Evans con
tinued his argument for the defense in
the Cluverius murder trial this morning.
Following his opening remarks ot yester
day, in stating the life of the prisoner, he
claimed that no young man could be in
troduced with better character in every
relation to life. There was nothing in his
life to convict him of improper relations
with his cousin until after the tragedy at
the reservoir. Mr. Evans then went on
reviewing the evidence, pointing out the
illegal portions and improbabilities, and
presenting the jury such evidence as was
exculpatory in its character. Referring
to the deceased, he pointed out several
circumstances which indicated that she
was ripe for suicide, and occupied some
time iu sustaining this theory.
MR. POLLARD’S ARGUMENT.
At the close of Mr. Evans’
recess was taken until 4 o’clock p. m. At
the alternoon session. 11. R. l’ollard fol
lowed Mr. Evans in itie defense. Ho
begun by referring to the instructions ol
the court as, after being boiled down,
being simply that the accused must not
be declared guilty unless it was so proved
beyond a reasonable doubt. Our law, lie
said, required that there must, lie
no doubt. The accused was shield
ed with the garment of innocence,
which could not be stripped from him
without positive proof of his guilt. Pre
sumption should not he confounded with
circumstances. The speaker then took
up a line of argument similar to that of
his predecessor, picking the testimony to
pieces in all its details and showing up
the fallacies and improbability ot many
of those which the prosecution dwelt upon
as strong points in their evidence. The
court then adjourned until to-morrow.
PHILADELPHIA’S BIG BREAK.
The Kvpertn A Htoumlef! by the Dlhcloa
urea Incident to Their Work.
Philadelphia, June 2.—Experts were
still hard at work at the books of the sus
pended Shaekumaxon Bank tills after
noon trying to evolve order out of chaos.
The deeper they delved into the books,
however, the larger grew the deficit, until
it seemed that it would reach far into
the hundreds of thousands. One
of the experts, who is em
ployed in a down-town bank, gave
up in despair this evening, snying
that it would be almost impossible to
straighten tbe accounts, and that the loss
would exceed the figures first given out.
The Auditing Committee of the Board of
Directors of the bank compared some of
the depositors hooks with the ledgers this
alternoon, ami were horrified to find a dif
ference ol sl,4ooforone day—that is $1,400
was received in a single day Qrhich was
not entered upon the books of tbe bank.
Further comparisons may show oven
greater discrepancies, but even if this
rate of deficit continues the loss will be
much larger than the directors thought.
OSGOOD A CO.’S SUCCESSORS.

ENCE MADE PUBLIC.
The F.uglDliMiaii Carrie* Off the Honor*
ot the Debate, Rut Failed to Derive
Practical Advantage From Hl* Ar
guments—Denmark's King to Act as
Arbitrator.
London, June 2 Thu News says that
England anil Russia, being assured oi the
King of Denmark’s readiness to act as
arbitrator, have agreed to invito him to
arbitrate.
The second set of official dispatches re
lating to the Afghan dispute are now
made public, and they throw much new
light upon the subject. Earl Granville,
on April 17, wrote to Sir Edward Thorn
ton, the British Minister at Petersburg,
as follows:
“Baron de Staal, the Russian Minister
at London, informs mo that he has re
ceived a dispatch from M. de Giers, the
Russian Foreign Minister, ascribing Hie
collision at Pendjeh (o the military aspect
of Sir Peter Lumsden’s Boundary Com
mission, which, ho says, encouraged Af
ghan pretensions.” M. de Giers declined
to admit that Gen. Kotnaroff provoked the
collision.
On April 10 Earl Granville wrote to
Sir Edward Thornton, declining to admit
that Sir Peter Lumsden’s Commission bad
any bearing on the question, and refuting
M.de Giers* statement that English offi
cers had directed the Afghan attack. In
this dispatch the English Foreign Minis
ter said that England could not accept
Gen. llomaroff’s account of the affair as
final, and that, both sides to this contro
versy must make every endeavor to ascer
t ain't be tacts, which should be tried on
the basis of the agreement of March 16,
and justice done.
RUSSIA’S FIRMNESS.
Accordingly M. de Giers, in his reply to
this, declined to sacrifice the interests ot
Russia or submit the l’eudjeh atl'air to
funther Inquiry.
Earl Granville replied through Baron
de Staal proposing arbitration and the re
sumption of the Afghan frontier negotia
tions.
Baron de Staal said that he believed
that Russia would decline the proposal to
submit the dispute to arbitration, and I hat
even if Russia should admit the principle
she would intrust the task of arbitration
to no one but Emperor William of Ger
many, who would decline to serve. To
this Lord Granville said that England
had no objection to Emperor William as
arbitrator, and that he thought that if
both England and Russia should ask him
to arbitrate it would be impossible for him
to refuse.
AfthiHpointM.de Giers proposed to
neutralize the Pendjeh district, pending
the result of the Afghan frontier negotia
tions, anil Earl Granville stipulated that
both the Russian and Afghan soldiers lie
withdrawn from Pendjeh.
GRANVILLE WILLING,
On May 4 Earl Granville replied to
Baron de Staal agreeing to resume negotia
tions concerning the Afirbnn frontier, and
to submit t.ho Pendjeh dispute to the de
cision of an arbitrator If Russia and Eng
land found themselves unable to settle It
otherwise.
The Times says the impression created
by a perusal of this second batch of
Aighuu dispatches is that M. dodders
took measures to quietly insure Russian
success, leaving the honors of the debate
to Earl Granville, who busied himaell
constructing most admirable arguments,
which, however, bail an awkward habit
of disappearing at tbo very moment one
expected them to Issue forth in action.
There can hardly be a question that in
the whole controversy Earl Granville de
molished every one of the Russian argu

THURMAN FOR GOVERNOR.
In a Certain Contingency He Would Ac
cept the Nomination.
Cincinnati, ()., June L—Since the
name of Allen G. Thurman has
been prominently mentioned in con
nection with the gubernatorial race
the ensuing fall, a good deal of spec
ulation has become current as to whether
the great Ohio Senator would consent to
again emerge from retirement and engage
in tiie excitement of political war.
In an Interview recently held with the
“Old Roman” ho Insisted that he
would not lie a candidate. Ills proto
tyis were wont to put away honors
when tendered, and under a pressure
of necessity at last accept them. This, it
Is thought, Mr. Thurman will do; In
deed, Mr. A. W. Thurman, son of the
Senator, was in town last vyeek looking
over the ground and determining the con
dition of his lather’s lences. He came
here ostensibly to do a little talk
ing about horses, but lie tyent back
to, Columbus fortified with considerable
political advice.
A reporter ran afoul of one of the Cin
cinnati friends of Mr. Thurman, Jr., yes
terday anil pumped him.
“Is Allen G. going into tlie gubernato
rial light this full for keeps?”
“Thai, will depend.”
‘•On what, pray?”
“On the prospects of being knifed by
the kids.”
“Suppose the kids are willing to meet
the mosshacks half way?”
“Well, that will of, course, make a dif
ference, lint you mustn’t lose sight of the
fact that lust now the kids want all the
offices and the inossbacks none of them.”
“Haven’t wo just, been discussing an
office which possibly Mr. Thurman
wants?”
“Ah, yes, but that’s a State office. I
refer to Federal offices.”
“Then you acknowledge that Mr. Thur
man wants tbo office of Governor?”
"1 didn't say so. I did say, however,
that he might accept the nomination in a
certain contingency If he Isn’t to be
knifed.”
“And that contingency Is ?”
“1 didn’t name It, did 1 ?”

morning, in an editorial, says that Eng
lishmen will read with alarm of tbo de
cision of the Sanitary Conference sitting
at Koine, placing the important matter of
detention of vessels at Suez In the discre
tion of a single medical officer. The ar
ticle continues: “We have no hesitation
in saying that Englund eunnot possibly
assent p> such a regulation, which Would
prove to be an embargo against the whole
Oriental commerce. It is further evi
dence of the unfriendly spirit of the Euro
pean powers led by Frywe.”

Two or Throe Hundred Lives Probably

Throughout the Vale of Cashutere—
The Affrighted Populace Seeking
Safety lu floats and lu the Fields. 1
London, June 2.—A dispatch from Se
rinagur, India, says that that city was
visited try a frightful earthquake on Sun-(
day. The shocks, which occurred at ln-f
tenuis of ten minutes, were of great vioJ
l‘4*ioo. The greater part of the oily wus
destroyed, and the cavalry barracks is a
mass of ruins. Fifty persons arc known
to have boon killed and hundreds of in
jured have already been taken from the
general wreck. Tiie total loss of life, oi
the uumher of malm.d, must remain uiw
known for some duvs, as manv of the In.
habitants still lie'buried in'the nuns
When the shocks were first felt and thf
people realized that they were being tuiti
jeeted to the awful possibilities of at
earthquake the wildest panic seized them.
Everyone able to do so rusheu from the
tumbling houses and fled to the boats on
the river and oil the lake, or sought the
open country.
CAMPING IN THE FIELDS.
The terrified inhabitants are now
camped in the fields that surround the
town. Serinagur is near the centre of the
vale of Cashmere, and that whole terri
tory experienced terrible earthquake
shocks. The damage caused throughout
tbo vale is enornpms. The loss in eattlo
alone is very great. The affrighted people
seemed to be utterly helpless, and succor
is being sent to them as rapidly as tbo
Indian authorities can organize relict.
Many ot the houses yet standing show
large rents In the walls und must be
raised to tho ground. The shocks have
not ceased, and this fact greatly retards
the work of rescuing the people penned
down in tiie debris, and it Is feared that
many of Hies" must perish beforu they oau
lie reached by relief parties.
HUGO'S FUNERAL,
Tho Day Looked Upon as a Holiday by
the Crowd.
Paris, June 2.—The Anarchists,in their
demonstrations yesterday at the funeral of
Victor Hugo, showed that they are un in
significant minority. When tho police
seized the red flags in the Bois de Bou
logne the crowd applauded tho act. It is
estimated that fully, 1,000,000 people lined
the streets through which moved the pro
cession escorting the remains of Victor
Hugo from the Arc de Triomphe to tho
Pantheon. The ceremonies attending the
transfer were not finished until H o’clock
iu the evening. There was not a single
lU'lest to be seen along the entire route of
the procession. A papier uiache statue,
of Victor Hugo watching tho procession
was placed In front of the Pantheon. Tho
enormous crowd was mostly composed of
the working and middle classes, who.
treated the event as a tioliday. There
wus not much emotion made manifest.
BORROW NOT NOTICEABLE.
There was an absence id that feeling or
sentiment which might bo fairly looked
for at a great national funeral. The gen-,
oral appearance of the people yesterday
did not differ in any great degree from
that which may tie witnessed at a review
of troops or other popular festival. It
did differ in tills, however—that there
was a marked absence of shouting or
horse play. The police treated with seem
ing indifferonoooecasional displays of red
flags. They quietly a-ked the ho'ders to
hide them, and if the request was refused,
then they snatched away the flags ami
allowed tho holders to go their way with
out further molestation. Tho removal of
the decorations lias already been be.un.
Cardinal Guibert, Archbishop of Paris,
has written a letter to M. GoMet, Min
ister of Public Instruction and Ecclesias

It was stated at the Cabinet council to*

Monday— that of a German Anarchist,
and that sixteen rod flags were seized.

RIOTING KI.SKYVHERK.
Other riots of like violence and destruc
tiveness have taken place in the Wledan
