MONTGOMERY MUSING3.
Notes About the Slate Fair and Other Batters
of Interest.
Charleston, W. Va., October 18.—News
was brought here this morning that Dan
Cunningham, the Eureka detective, who
stands charged with having been the iu-
stigater of the robbery of Rev. Mr. Rvan
and others in Roane and Jackson comities,
was caught yesterday and lynched last
night. This rumor seems to have founda
tion, from what the cdfrespondeut can
learn. It is certain that there were ODly
seven engaged in the inurdor and robbery
of Rev. Mr. Ryan. Of this number the vig-
ilants have disposed of Coon, George Duff,
jr.. Bob Duff aud Drake. The two Duffs,
Coon and Drake confessed and said that
Cunningham and his nephew were the
two not caught. All arrests made by the
vigilants are discharged by a withdrawal
ot warrants. Bob Duff, jtist before his
death, begged that Drake should not be
harmed ns she was forced by Coon to go
with them. Excitement still runs high
and it is evident that others
will be arrested. When Bob Duff
was shot one of the vigilants west
tn./' his body and cut his throat, saving:
‘•This is in remembrance of the young lady
school teacher you killed for her money.”

.kukilled for her money in the upper part

Warrant was out tor Bob Duff', charging
him with the crime.
THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Closes ut or Near the Highest Point* of the
Pay.
New York, October 18.—The stock
market was less active to-day, but after a
short period of weakness, .became strong
and made marked advances in a few cases
over yesterdays figures. High prices from
London were reflected in the improved
feeling on the street. Advices of defalca
tion on the other side induced some selling
for foreign account aud the bears made
an attack upon the list which
brought prices down from 4 to
U, with greatest pressure against
R'eading. There was some strength dis
played by Richmond and West Point, on
rumors that buying was with reference to
a change of control. The opening was
strong, at advances of from Jc. to ifo. over
yesterday’s close, although the improve
ment was not maintained. After some
further few slight gains, the entire list
gave way, under the lead of Union Pacific
and Northern Pacific preferred, and
losses of from 4 to 2i per cent,
were established. Activity then disappeard
bur the tone of dealing became firm,
and by noon. most of the losses
had been regained. Some selling was in
dulged in after that time, but impressions
upon prices were very slight and the rise
was quickly resumed with Vanderbilt’s
and weak stocks of the forenoon in the
lead. The firm tone was not again inter
rupted and the close was quiet, but firm
at the close to the best prices of the day
and with almost everything higher. Total
business amounted to 300,000 shares.

a bale of cotton. It is to be a gift from the
mayor and aldermen of the city. On one
end of it is the cotton—marker’s brand

women of ill-fame who are tired of life
aud want to shuffle off this mortal coil.
Last night about 11 o’clock, on Court
street, Lily Graham drank a bottle of laud
anum, but as usual a physician with a
stomach pump got in his work, aud Lily
still lives, aud will probably have a big
time at the fair this week.
Your correspondent visited the fair
grounds yesterday. There is considerable
stock out there. Many of the stalls are oc
cupied by racers. In the exhibition build
ing everything was confusion, carpenters
aud others were at work arranging for
displays and articles to be put on exhibi
tion. Will try and give your readers in
my next a pretty clear idea of what the
fair will be. The indications so far are
favorable to a fine exaibition.

tion, was this morning sent, down to the
lower quarantine, four cases of cholera
having been found aboard of her. The
Brittanlo is a sister ship to the Alesia,
which brought the cholera hero some
weeks ago.
THE REPORT DENIED.
New York, October 18.—Health Officer
Smith told a reportei this afternuon there
was no cholera aboard the Brittania. He
caused her removal to the lower quarantine
station this morning because friends of the
passengers on board were flocking about
trying to get them ashore. On the other
nand, boatmen who earn a living about,
the upper quarantine, say that four eases
of cholera have developed aboard the
Brittania. Tney hint that Smith is trying

States Supreme court to day Chief Justice
Waite announced that argument upon
questions raised by the habeas corpus

to inquiry, that the court would hear argu
ment from two counsel on each side.

Atlanta, Ga., October 18.—1 ue morn
ing is cloudy, showing a possibility ot rain.
Trains are still briuging in thousands of
strangers, yet it is estimated that 8000 or
7000 of them here last night failed to got
beds. The corridors and stairs of the Kim
ball House, where the president is quarter
ed, had the appearance of a hastily made
bivouac. Sleeping forms wore lying in nil
directions upon the floor and stairs. At
lanta is a prohibition town, and despite
the crowd and enthusiasm, there is
very little drunkenness. The presidential
party did not retire until two o’clock this
morning, it having been found impossible
to get tneir baggage through the crowds,
and to their rooms earlier As a couse-
creased prosperity, and the aggregate of
this will make rich and prosperous the

rich and prosoerous state. We often hear
of,i state noted for its excellent products.
This is not always a result of fertility of
soil and of its adaptability, but often of the
enterprise of its people iu inaugurating
such expositions as this, where they may
meet and take counsel and leurn
of each other. All of Geor
gia’s neighboring state-s still foot

18S1 aud the commercial convention of
1885, and I trust that, the Piedmont expo
sition may prove of as great benefit as
these t > the material welfare of the large
section of country which has contributed
to its success.”
At the conclusion of the president’s
speech repeated calls were made for Gov
ernor Gordon. In response the governor
arose and proposed “three cheers for Mrs.
Cleveland,” which were given with wild
enthusiasm. The multitude were deter
mined, however, to have a speech from
the governor ana in response to prolonged
calls lie came forward aud said:
“My Fellow-Countrymen : I will do

park, which Is the exposition grounds.
A national salute was fired as the proces
sion entered the gates of the enclosure
and proceeded to the speaker’s Btand. The
formalities of welcome to the president
began with prayer by Rev Dr. Bartlett,
of the Presbyterian church, after which
Mr. H. W. Grady, vice-president of the
exposition, in a brief but eloquent speech,
extended a welcome to the president.
“Ladies and my countrymen: I shall
have the honor of presenting to you to
day the greatest ruler on the earth. No
king or emperor or czar holds a place with
the president of the American republic.
The right of inheritance cannot confer nor
bold usurpation win an equal honor to
that conferred upon him to whom, by the
peaceful and unchallenged suffrage of this
people, their highest commission has
been given. It is the most sacred
g olitlcaT trust that can be confided to mor-
il stewardship. Our pride and pleasure,
sir, in welcoming you to-day is emphasized
by the knowledge that you have held that
high commission with simple dignity and
sincerity, and that you have honored the
high office with a strong and stainless ad
ministration. As for this exposition it Is
enough to say that a lawsuit is now
pending for the growing cotton crop or
this season, that seventy days ago was sup
planted on this field, by those buildings.
This exposition is an evidence of the
growth and prosperity of the Piedmont
section, and crude as it is, it is evidonce of

confidence begotten by your election, aud
just’fled by your administration. 1 can
promise you, sir, in the name of
these good people, the privilege to-day,Jthat
even the president may esteem, the right
to look into our faces and hear the cordial
welcome of more southerners than any
living man has ever seen assembled. My
countrymen, I present to you your presi

The president replied as follows:

hour. They paid special attention to the
displays from different counties, both in
Georgia and Alabama, so arranged as to
show iu a group the chiel material re
sources of the region and localities which
sent them. It was proposed to take them
thence to the main hall of the exhibition,
but the crowd was Impenetrable , and the
purpose was abandoned. The public re
ception at the exposition ground was a
pleasant affair of its kind, no attempt being
made to shake the hands of passers by,
.... f n
and the whole proceeding being over
three-quarters of an hour. This ended the
proceedings at the lair grounds, when the
Visitors were conducted to the clubihouse
of the Gentlemen's Driving Club, where
an elegant lunch was served under
the supervision of the wives of
the club members. From this point the
party went to their rooms at the hotel and
remained there until 4 o’clock. The gen
tlemen ot the party dined with Governor
Gordon this evening. Among the guests
invited to meet them were Governor Per

South Carolina; Senators Brown and Col
quitt, General Jackson, of Louisville, Pres
ident Davidson, of tne Georgia senate;
Bpeaker Little, of the house of representa
tives; General Pierce SI. B. Ypung and

The public reception at the fair grounds
was a pleasant affair.

years after tnis that the name
was udopted by the people of
the little village of Marthasvillo
when they proudly acquired the city char
ter. Experiencing all incidents and strug
gles common to municipal growth, it had
in 1881a population of 13,000. Soon there
after the thunder of war sounded all about
her, and a besieged army occupied her
streets and business places. Her buildings
and property were destroyed by both ar

extent that when the inhabitants in De

which they had been driven, they found
their houses wrecked and burned and
their city a scene of charred and
desolate ruin. Thus it is that Atlanta of

This action infuriated the crowd and a
sharp conflict occurred. In their eft’ortB to
get out of the park many ot the crowd
were thrown down and trampled upon.
Three arrests were made. The police
finally permitted the crowd to make their
egress through the marble arch.

A youth named Richardson, residing in

small row boat, a yacht’s tender, and sud

fomidland dog swimming toward him.
Wuen the object was within a few feet of

and the feeling of self-preservation, he
struck the shark on the side of the heat

sole gratification. All their countrymen
may congratulate themselves that what
has here been done, is the result of Ameri
can courage and American enterprise.
Surely, nothing should stand in the way
of such congratulations, and the citizen
who, seeing these additions to the wealth
and progress of the nation, cun-
not now, from his heart, proudly
say of the people who have restored At

? ets his fealty to American citizenship.
he efforts of Atlanta in the direetion of

ness have not been selfish and circum
scribed. The international cotton exposi
tion of 1881 and the national commercial
convention of 1885, both important events,
which originated with her people and
were held here, were of great direct ad
vantage to a large section, and of great
benefit to the entire country. To-day At
lanta holds another exposition, to which
the people of Georgia and neighboring
states are invi-ed to display their products
and their manufactures, aud to give proof
of their resources. The occasion cannot
fail to lead to the best results Every man
at all concerned in what is here exhibited

Eloped AV It It II is Stepmother.
John Miles, a widower, and Jim, his
son, married sisters—Miss Wests—in this
county, some time in the past few years,
and were apparently happy with this inti
mate rnurital relationship, and their neigh
bors so regarded it until last week. During
the past few days the son developed mat
ters after a new order of affairs. Taking
his wife back to her father’s, he proceeded
to his own father’s house, and, taking his
father’s wife, who was his
stepmother and sister-in-law at the
same time, came to town, took passage on
the stage, and ere this, as man and wife,
they are solving the problem of life iu St.
Louis. This strange denouncement of an
unusual matrimonial mixture was not un- 1
expected by the parties most intimately !
concerned, if our information be correct,
and father and son and wife, stepmother
and sister-in-law seems to have resolved on
t hi - step as a remedy for the mistake made
at the altar. To say the least of it, this is
i --mlxin’ things.” — Barbourville Ky.
