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.” appears tbnt the Indy schoolteacher .kukilled for her money in the upper part oLRogne county some mouths ago, and a 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. Green * Co.’s Report. New York, October 18.—Green & Co. says the market for cotton operations has retained a slightly unsettled tone and made another good record of business with Montgomery. October 17.—Capt. Win. Williamson, of Mobile, has arrived in the city with the following named horses: Paddy Tipton, Juuebug, Union Jack, Her- mioue and Weeks. Ail these horses have fine records on the turf. From ali indications Montgomery will be crowded with people Wednesday and Thursday. Hundreds of letters and cards have come through the post office in the last few days inquiring for rooms aud board. The hotels announce they will make no increase iu prices. Mr. Bob Burks, the Birmingham short stop, has come home. Like all profes sional ball-players, he looks awfully la-da- dah. Mr. D. D. Updegraff, who lived in Co lumbus years ago, is now traveling in ttie interest of the Daily Dispatch. A list of the lawyers of Alabama is being printed in this city. Birmingham heads the list with over one hundred. Harry hunter, who was docketed for 498 days on the streets of Birmingham, lius been liberated aud gone into the cotton business in Decatur. •Among the crack shots who have ar rived iu the city to take part in the great shooting match this week "are C. W. Budd, of Des Moines, Iowa; H. McMurchey, Syra cuse, N. Y., and J. M. Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio. While here Mrs. Cleveland Is to be pre sented with a beautiful silver jewel case of 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 “F. F. C.,” and on top “G. C., 1888," which means that Grover will be on top in that year. Inside is the state’s seal and the motto, “Here We Rest.” Mr. Isaac Ross, of Opelika, will have all hiB fine Jerseys at the fair. He will also have charge of a working creamery, a machine lor making butter. On Cleveland day McDonald’s opera house is to be decorated in a novel way. Twenty-seven pretty young ladies are to stand in the windows, three in each window, as the procession passes. Sargeant Sanguinette shipped on Satur day forty Springfield rifles and equipments to Capt. G. A. Hornady, ot the Tuskegee Light Infantry. A young lady of Auburn has executed a very handsome and correct crayon por trait of Mrs. Cleveland, which will be on exhibition at the fair here, and will be pre sented to Mrs. Cleveland. Sam Jones was in Birmingham yester day, and delivered an address to the Y. M. C. A. I learn that cards are out for the mar riage on the 18th instant, in Tallassee, of Mr. B. C. Gibson and Miss Carrie Heard, of Macon couuty. For several days past six-mule-teams have been hauling from one of the freight depots, heavy loads of new machinery for the Prattville factory. Mr. Dan A. Kelly and company will hold the boards at the opera house during part of this week; and the MacCollen Opera Company at the Theatre the first of the week, and Mrs. D. P. Bowers Friday and Saturday. If this thing keeps on Montgomery will soon be famous as a place of last ro3ort for 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. m II ATLANTA. Another Ship Loail of Cholera. New York, October 18.—The French steamship Brittianic, which arrived heie on the 13th lust, from Marseilles and Na ples, and has been held by tne health offi cer at the upper quarantine for observa 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 to keep the facts from the press and pub lic. lteleaaed on Their U.vn Itoeognlzunen*. Washington, October 18.—In the United States Supreme court to day Chief Justice Waite announced that argument upon questions raised by the habeas corpus cases of Attorney-General Ayers and others, imprisoned state officers of Vir ginia, will be set down for the second Monday in November. Meanwhile the prisoners will be set nt liberty on their own recognizance in the sum of *1000 each to answer the summons of this court when their presence shall be required. Explaining this decision the chief justice stated that the prisoners were dublic offi cers, charged with public duties, and the presumption wai that they were actuated in this proceeding by a desire to obtaiu a decision upon the questions at issue and not manifest contempt for the court be low. The chief justido added, in response to inquiry, that the court would hear argu ment from two counsel on each side. A Newspaper Oilier Burned. Little Rock, Ark., October 18.—A few moments past 11 o’clock last oight, flro was discovered in the pres3 room in the rear of the Evening Democrat building, caused bv the accidental overturning of a coal oil lamp.

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 neighborhood, and Its contagion makes a 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 the impulse of the cotton exposition of 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 nothing more than join you in the loud ac claim tiint trembles upon this southern air nnd brills our very being in welcome to a democratic president. [Prolonged and enthusiastic chotriog.l I join each and all quenoe, they breakfasted late tbis morn- j of you in the proclamation which your ing. At eleven o’clock, President, Collier hearts utter, that wo have in our midst a and Vice-President Grady called at the president’s room, and escorted President and Mrs. Cleveland, and Pjstmastor-Geu- eral Vilas, to the capital, where they en tered the governor's room, and were received by Governor Gordon. man of destiny,’ without a Waterloo in the past or future.' [Great cheering.) Now, I wish to make the announcement that the president and his party are to be here at 2 o’clock, when the president will hold a re ception here, and I know you will all be The visiting governors, supreme court glad to greet him, of the state, members of the governor’s From the speaking stand the presiden staff, United States officials, municipal | tlal party were conducted to Machinery authorities and members of the legislature were presented to the city’s guests. This ceremonial over the distinguished visitors, escorted by Governor Gordon and Sena tors Brown and Colquitt, aud accompanied by visiting governors and many other peo ple of distinction, proceeded to Piedmont 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 a rehabtmtton without eBueHw oaw-tndu»> trial record. Much of this is due to the 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 dent. The president replied as follows: When in 1845 the convention was held hall, in which they tarried nearly half an 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 ry, of Florida; Governor Richardson, of 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 Henry W. Grady. The public reception at the fair grounds was a pleasant affair. A Day ol Buttles In Atlanta. Atlanta, October 18.—Police headquar ters are full to-night with drunken and disorderly cases, and one or two of a more serious nature. A stranger from South Carolioa is there in a critical condition, With his neck ‘slashed from back to front, fie says iFxvun-doB* by women aud a man in some bagnio. The doctor insisted on his not talking, and further particulars could not be secured to-night. Near the 10-eent circus Charles McGuire, Pat Kelly, Thomas Malone and Hiram Ray engaged in a general fight, and were brought in with cuts or bruises more or less serious, but liberally distributed through the party.

It was two 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 mies, besieged and besiegers to such au extent that when the inhabitants in De cember, 180-1, returned to the city from 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 to-da.v may well be said to date from 1885. I have lately seen the evidences of activity and tin: perseverance of the pennie of the United States in the creation of prosperous and bustling cities, and in overcoming difficulties chat are insepara ble from new settlements and the growth of new cities, but it seems to me that an element of heroism is added by u people who viewed without despair the destruc tion of all they have wrought, who began again to build their waste places and who, in spite of the greatest discouragement evinces n determination to reach their de.-tinv.

Paris, October 19.—Gen. Boulanger has received thousands of missives from all parts of France, expressing sympathy for him. A demonstration in his favor was made in Nimes on the occasion of the opening ot the college there by M. Spuller. minister ol public instruction. The crowd shouted “Vive Boulanger I” and the bands played Boulangistic airs. The Matin) states that President Grevy refuses to sign the order dismissing Gen. Caff'arol from the army for dishonorable conduct. The Gaulois says judicial inquiry proved Caft'u- rel was not guilty of the charge ot trafficking in decorations. The petit jour nal says that President Grey immediately interviewed in the Wilson affair: “It is monstrous,” the paper says, “that Wilson should be allowed to take advantage of his privileged position as son-in-law of the president to defy the law and to transform the Elgseu into a doubtful agency. Locking Up u Mull. London, October 18.—The disturbances created by unemployed persons who fre quent Trafolgar square still continue. In addition to those arrested yesterday Bix other men have been imprisoned. A num ber of unemployed workingmen also mot in Hyde Park to-day for the purpose of making a demonstration. A squad of po lice, fearing that the mob would pillage the shops in the vicinity of Ilydo Park, locked up the gates of the park on them. 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. London, October 18.—Prince Albert Victor, son of the Prince of Wales, laid the memorial stone at the Infirmary in North ampton to-day. The streets were crowded with spectators, many of whom greeted the speakers with groans. A number of black flags were carried by some of those who had gathered about the building, and cries of "Hurrah for Bradlaugh” were heard during the ceremony. A Big Bank Failure. London, Octobor 18.—DeBcanto Gesell- sehoft, of Lelpsig, the capital of which is 9,000,000 marks, has failed in consequence of unlawful speculations.

A youth named Richardson, residing in Washington village, weut out smeltiug in Dorchester bay last evening, at a point not far from Burnham’s wharf. He was in a small row boat, a yacht’s tender, and sud denly his attention was attracted to the water back of him by an unusual move, mont. Looking ho thought he saw a Nev.- fomidland dog swimming toward him. Wuen the object was within a few feet of his boat it turned and threw open its im mense jaws. The young boatman was al most frozen with fear. Realizing that; he had a struggle be dropped his lines and seized an oar, and wilii all the strength that is born of frenzy, desperation and the feeling of self-preservation, he struck the shark on the side of the heat sinking its head under water. It time do the surface again in an instant. The young man had as quickly recovered himself, ami rained blows thick and fast on the fish’s head. It made several snaps at the oar, and then lay out on the water. Giving the animal one more bluw on the head, the youth jumped into his sent and rowed for ti c shore.

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.
