Atlanta. Jan. 24.—Special: Principal
Keeper of the Penitentiary Tower* to-day
received a letter from Capt. W. O. Reese,
giving an acoounto! bis experience with a
negro convict, named Armour, laat Fri
day. The letter fblly explains the trou
ble:
Col.K City, Ga., Jan. 22,1888.—Col. Jno.
R. Towers, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir: We
had some trouble at the coke ovens last
Friday evening with Will Armour, a five-
year oonvlct from Fulton county. Kil
patrick was going around the coke ovens,
and found his (Armour's) work in very
bad shape, and he was lying
down by the ovens neglecting his duty.
Kilpatrick spoke to hTm about it, and he
raised up and drew a coke shovel and a
large kmfe on him (Kilpatrick) and ad
vanced to strike him. Kilpatrick, being
unanned, drew out his pocket knife ana
gave back until he could get something to
defend himseif. Ue then sent some of the
oonvlota for me. I went out to grhere
they were, and ordered the negro to put
down the knife and shovel. He refused to
do so. I then struck at him with my stick,
intending to knock the knife and shovel
out of his hands. He was very quick and
warded off the blow and made tor me, at
the same time making a hard blow at me
with the shove). Seeing his Intention, I
closed in with him and warded off the blow
to some extent. Notwithstanding this,
he gave me a very,severe blow across the
shoulder and collar-bone, and also made a
small cut on my crippled arm. Kil
patrick, seeing my precarious position,
ran up and struck him a severe, but not
fatal, blow on the side of his head, whloh
caused him to drop his shovel and knife
and resort to some rocks that were lyir-
near by. He picked up one and threw
at me and 1 managed to dodge it. Draw
ing my pistol at the same time, I fired two
shots at him some ten or fifteen steps ofi.
He thin retreated to the end of the coke
ovens and gave up, after being taken by
three or four of the convicts by torce.
Neither of the shots took effect and he is
not hurt, except by tbe blow be reoeived
null Iiurv, VAUCpK tun uiun uo icucivou
on the head, which is not Yery serious
at present. I had him chained up
and taken to tbe hospital to await any
complications that might arise in his case.
My shoulder is palnihg me very much yet,
and, may continue to do so for some time.
It being my only good shoulder, I am com*
polled to use it; however, hope it will be
Better in a short time. This negro has
been troublesome and unruly sinoe the
first day he was received here, and, if he
had been more seriously hurt, it would
possibly have been better for him and all
concerned. If you desire further informa
tion, Mr. Shubnck can get it when he
comes up, which will be a lew days, I sup
pose. As soon as he id all right, 1 will try
and make an example of him, as such
cases require harBh treatment in order to
deter him, as well as other characters of
his kind. I am very thankful that the case
was no worse, and, as for myself, 1 had a
very narrow escape irom being seriously
hurt. The trouble at the slope camp is all
quiet at present. Respectfully.
Wm. 6. Reese.
Lumbermen in Convention.
Atlanta, Jan. 24.—Special: Three hun
dred and twenty*live lumbermen from
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and
Indiana, arrived in the city this morning.
They were taken in charge by the lumber
men of the city aud driven to various
points of interest. At 2 o’clock they were
received by Governor Gordon at the capi-
tol. This afternoon, at 4 o’clock, a ban
quet was tendered the party by the At
lanta and Gress lumber companies, at the
Kimball house. The aflair was a most
elegant one. bpeeches were made by a
number of promiuent citizens, including
Governor Gordon, aud several of the party
made happy replies.
The party is on a tour of the south, pros
pecting and pleasure combined; probably,
some of them wiNMuvest in timber land.
•As yet, they have not decided whether to
return north or continue their pleasure
trip into Florida.
Tlie Cane Continued.
Atlanta, Jan. 24.—Special: Last week
the jury made a mistrial in the case of Li
bert Ware, charged with the killing of
Charuell Hightower, and until this morn
ing it was believed that the case would be
taken up again during the present week.
This wul not be done, however, as for
providential causes, the case has been
continued until tbe next term ot the
superior court of this couuty, which meets
March 4.
Tho Southern League.
Atlanta, Jan. 24.—Special: The league
held no session to-day, as they could not
learn whether Atlautu would cuter the
league or not. The meeting will probably be
held to-morrow, whether Atlanta comes
in or not, If she does not, Montgomery
aud Richmond will be considered to fill
the vacancy.
A Sensation In Court.
Atlanta, Jan. 24.—Special: There was
quite a sensation in the city court to-day,
while City Attorney Goodwin was making
a speech in the damage suit brought by
George G. Edson against the city ot At
lanta. The speaker was reaching the
climax in a brilliant ilight of oratory, and
these words echoed through the court
room: “Aye, gentlemen of the jury, there
are men who, with a communistic spirit,
believe tbe city treasury should be opened
wide at the bidding of any man. fbsuk
God, In this country of independence and
freedom, communism has not, and never
will, throttle tbe powers of government.
There came a pause, and a middle-aged
man, with a beacon nose, who occupied a
seat In the peanut gallery, Jumped to bis
feet and tragically exclaimed: By heaven,
I'll protect my principles and my coun-
1 ""judge Van Epps was on his feet, and the
seuud of the gavel rang through the court
room. The bailiffs yelled, “Order in
court.” City Attorney Goodwin caught his
breath, aud the jurymen looked like they
wanted to adjourn. Down from the pea
nut gallery rushed the man with a beacon
nose, and springing over the I “ ilin ftf h ®
faced Cel. Goodwin, aud yelled out like a
madman: “You can’t do It, by the eternal
godsl You can’t do ltl Wherever I am.
I’ll protect my principles and dear old
England, me mother country. May my
tongue be palsied, and all.the *J r « 8 f 9f
hell wither and scorch my body, if I fan
to protect my principles and my country
when any man dares to speak against
them. I tell you that—” „
“Out with that man to jail, com
manded the judge, who was now fully
awake to the situation, and Bailiffs Aber
nathy and Kimberly caught the protector
of his country and principles by the coat
collar and yanked him out of the court
room, into the streets, and in a few
minutes turned him over to the tender
mercies of Jailer Poole, who will keep
him locked up until he gets # sober
euough to show why he shall
not be fined for contempt of court. The
man gave his name as Henry Greene.
“You see,” he said to the Jailer, “I don’t
mind where you put me. I consider it an
honor to be locked up for my principle*
aud my country.”
A Deputy Sherllf Killed.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 24.—Special:
A aneciai from Tuscaloosa says that Dei>-
ufcvSherilTAutrey was shot aud instantly
klCthm morning »t Hall's sUUon.b^a
negro named James hemmeS’ for
arrest he had a warrant. Ab Mr. Autrey
and his assistant approacned Setumes

of the door and put a ful^argo^of buck-
favorable results, and this, In conjunction
with tbe abeence of prominent leaders,
has left current business dependent largely
upon tbe small deals of local scalpers. If
anything, the room Inclines to
be bearish, and with Borne few
selling orders from New Orleans,
the Indications are that an addition has
been made to the short side. Mr. Ellison’s
figures, received to-day, also added a little
to the weak feeling, his showing being as
follows: Mill stock of Great Britain. 290,-
000 bales) continental, 470,000 bales. Total,
760.000 bales, agaiust 860,000 bales at tbe
same time laat year, including 190,000 and
176.000 bales for Great Britain and the con
tinent, respectively. The weekly con
sumption of Great Britain was 73,000 bales,
against 71,000 lost year, for tbe continent,
72.000 bales, against 66,000 ba'ea last year.
The range or cost was three and four
points lower, with some recovery, but the
market closed dull, and still a fraction
below laat evening’s figures.

Washington, Jan. 24.- In tin senate,
Mr. Voorhees introduced a bill for the
formation and admission of the state of
Montans. Referred
Mr. Hoar called up the motion made by
Mr. Gorman, some time since, to recon
sider the vote by whleh the senate had or
dered a special committee of five on the
Pacific railroad matters. He explained
his motive in proposing a special commit
tee. The judiciary committee had had the
subject under consideration for a great
while, and he should bo the last senator to
n itlon the capacity of that committee to
with that or any other subject within
its jurisdiction, but ft so happened that it
was a necessity for that committee to deal
with subjects before it without giving a
hearing to persona interested. The pres
sure ol business upon it precluded its doing
so, but it was exceedingly important that
legislation on this subject, which involved
the dealing with amounts and figures, and
tbe ascertainment of what was within the
power of thd companies to do on the one
side, and what would be the most absolute
security for the government on the other,
should be considered by a committee
that could have before it represen
tatives of the companies and officers
of the government. The subject bad been
committed by congress to a special com
mission; it baa been made the object of a
special executive message, and it. there
fore, seemed eminently proper that it
should be referred to a special committee.
Mr. Gorman said that when he made
the motion to reconsider, it was simply
under a general impression that a subject
of such magnitude had better beconsid
ered by a standing committee of the body.
But for the reasons stated
by the senator from Massa
chusetts, and tor other reasons, which had
come to his knowledge he now thought
that the best disposition of the question
would be to refer it to a seleot committee.
He suggested, however, that the commit
tee should consist of seven, not five, mem-
ben. . t l ,
In a full and extended discussion which
followed, it appeared that the judiciary
committee were quite satisfied to be re
lieved of the labor of considering the sub
ject and were not at all jealous of the pre
rogative and precedent that attached to
their having, for several sessions previous
a- il:.. Oia DsnlAn Mllrnada’

paid a tribute to Gen. W. Childs, president
nf tho board, whose philanthropic gener
osity was not bounued by municipalities,
by states, by sections or by penplos, and
whose fhmc extended to races foreign to

The hauoe then, at 4 o’clock, adjourned.

Chicago’. Claim.
Chicago, Jan. 24.—W. H. Barnum, chair
man of the national democratic committee,
gave the Chicago committee to secure tbe
democratic national convention an in
formal talk this evening, at the Iroquois
olub. He discussed Chicago as a poiut for
the holding of the convention, and said bo
thought It possessed many advantages over
any city in the country. The new audito
rium would afford ample seating capacity,
and that wss a very desirable thing.
There were those who favored San Fran
cisco, bat he said he feared that if tbe con
vention went to that poiut some of tbe
delegates would not get home In time to
vote. He recognized the fact that they
would prever either St. Louis or Cincin

Mr. Palmer addrsosed the sonata on the
subject of the bill introduced by bim on
tbe 12th Inst., to regulate immigration.
He disclaimed any intention to prevent
any capable, honest, industrious law-
abiding person from seeking a homo on
American soil, but, he said, an undue and
oppressive competition in wages was be
ing felt at tbe Industrial centers; public
Institutions were being overtaxed, and,
worst of all, thoro waa a growth of classes
un-American, that lead to assimila
tion, which menaced tbe public peace and
threatened to overthrow all established
law aud u-ago. The conviction was grow-'
Ing that tho eountry, with its seventy
millions of population and Its fifty mil
lions of wealth, had passed beyond tho
need of immigation, and that It waa time
to go out of the “asylum" business; lime
to cease to be the dumping ground for the
vicious, d'.llnquent numun product of
other nat'ons. The object of this bill waa
to provide for the exclusion of dependent,
delinquent and dangerous classes through
an inspection and invcsiigatlon in tholr
own country. Instead of at tbo nort of en
try, and to effect this with the least possi
ble hardship or inconvenienue to desirable
immigrants. „ „ , ,
On the conclusion of Mr. Palmer’s re
marks, the bill waa referred to the com
mittee on foreign relations, and the senate
took up tbe deficiency bill. Without dis
posing of the question, the senate, at 4:36,
adjourned.

A DImmihmIoii of Ihn Rcmllng Strike—Pro

Revenue Lawn—Nolny Repub
lican Negroen. Etc., Etc.
Washington, Jan. 24.—The intcr-statfi
commerce commission to day began a
hearing in what are known ns tho car load
lot cases, in which tho complainants arc
T. B. Thurber aud others, of the commit
tee on transportation of the New York
board of trade aud transportation; Thomas
L. Greene, manager or tho Merchants’
Freight bureau of New York, aud Francis
H. Legget A Co., New York. The re
spondents in each of these cases are the
New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad company, tho New York, Lako
Erie and Western Railroad company, the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road company, and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company, which
popularly known as trunk
lines. There was a strong
array of counsel on both sides and a largo
number of representatives of the western
railway and jobbing interests, many of
whom, in announcing their appearance,
declared themselves in opposition of the
prayer of the petitioners. The substance
of the complaints of the petitioners, a text
of which has already been published, is
thatk the trunk lines named above by
their freight classification promulga
ted since the first of April, 1887,
when the Inter-state law went into effect,
unjustly discriminated against small ship-
Dorsof certain varietles.of goods, by placing
leas than carload quantities in a higher
class than a carload. The cases are likely
to occupy the attention of tho inter state
commission for some time.
A Centennary Celebration.

Washington, Jan. 21.—A resolution in

Reading strike, waa again under discussion
before the house committee on commerce
to-day. The session waa rather stormy,
and every member of the eommlttoo freely
expressed his view’s upon tho matter.
Borne toek the ground that tho strike
could properly be investigated by the
inter-state commerce commission, as It
slon among them. Tho fluctuations of
the stock, however, not. with
standing its comparatively heavy
transactions, wore only h per
cent for tho entiro day. Manhattan
proved to be tho only stock still remaining
vulnerable to the attacks of the hears, and
it dropped 24 per cent, though this was
afterward recovered. Union Pacific was
active and heavy throughout, a steady de
preciation 1 Anting all day. ami it is the
only one of the active list showing a mate
rial change this evening. The coal stocks
and other grangers presented a firm front,
throughout, and stagnation in the general
market was still a feature of the dealings.
The market closed dull and heavy at in
significant changes for the day. Tho total
sales were 132,000 shares. The final changes
ate irregular and for fractions only, except
declines of 1 percent each in Union Pacific
and Oregon Improvement.

Bt. Paul, Minn.. Jan. *24.—The Pioneer-
Press learns from Brown’s Valley that fuel
there is not only used up, but that provis-
Ions are also getting low. Should another ho said, would be
storm prevent the ^opening of the road, measure,
within a few days, great suffering can
hardly be avoided, particularly among
the farmers along tho Hue. Tne Mani
toba company is making a manful fight to
open the line, but tho road is in such a bad
shape that it is impossible to run a plow
and do any snow bucking. A number of
farmers wont to Beardsley for fuel yester
day, and not finding any coal, tore down
the company’s snow fences and hauled
away severa. loads. The road is open to
Graceville, and the chances of getting a
train thorough to Brown’s Valley by to
morrow night are good.

la Arrested.
Nkw York, Jan. 24.—'William H. Rog
ers, a green goods operator, waa arrested
to-night for swindling a farmer, Asbury H.
Perkins of Lancaster, South Carolina. Per
kins is a prominent resident of that town
and a county commissioner. In December
ho was sent to Boston with township
bonds, amounting to over 9308,606,
to deposit. On hia return ho
met Rogers on Broadway. The latter
said ho had met Perkius before,
but the latter did not remember him.
Perkins swallowed the bait, though, and
when Rogers offered some “green goods”
and explained the utter impossibility ol
detection, Perkins became interested.
Rogers told him that tho government
officials devoted millions of “green goods"
yearly to their own private use, and
there was no reason why Perkins
should not tnako money too. Perkins
went homo and returned Sunday last, to
get some of tbo groon goods. The detec
tives met tbo pair in tbo street aud
watched them. Perkins sent a messenger
to Wall street on Monday and exchanged
8280 in silver for bills. All arrangements
for the transfer of the green goods were
effected, and the exch.ngo was to be at
Desbrosses ferry. At the ferry the pair
was arrested. Rogers turned to snoot
tbe detective, but the revolver was
twisted out of his hand. No one was
hurt. At police hoadquarters Rogers waa
searched, and f-tOO, which Perkins had
paid hi A for green gooda, valued at 94000,
was found. In Perkins’ valise tho stuff
waa found as usual. The package of hills
contained a blank green paper, with but
932 worth of bills atouud them.
WASHINGTON'!! LATKST FAD.
Hypoimtlques, Terrapin Suppers and George
Hearst III a Dress Suit.
The hypnotique craze has struck the
capital. The people who have nevor be
fore been able to bring themselves to tho
front In society here are now posing in
what are called "Sensitives,” and are the
welcome guests wherever tbe hypnotiques
meet. And they meet often, for they
have established a sort of circulating soiree
which bolts up one night here aud an
other night tncro.
There waa one hold, laat night, at tho
house of a Mr. Crolfut, and in tho crowd
of hangers-on seven people were found
who claimed to be aimon-pure original
hypnotiques, and they wore called upon
to display their sensitiveness.
Two of them personated Senators Ktl-
munds and Voorhees in an oratorical con
test over tho merits of ProeldentClevcland,
and their audacious and unrestrained dec
lamations created much amusement. Mr,
Croffiit took his responsive friends on a
trip to Africn on an enchanted carpet,
where they killed ostriches and had ad-
vontures with wild bcasta. They were not
all idealists who laughed over the benign
Croflut and the vagaries o! his friends—for
among the guests wore Senators Ingalls,
Bpooncr, Morgan, Platt and Harris, Repre
sentatives Caldwell, Uutohcon and McCor
mick, and a do/.cu of the big-wig profes
sors in tho‘government employ, who have
thecoziest places In Washington, the best
salaries and the least work.
Jolly old George Hearst. tho Han Fran
cisco senator, is the boy that gathers all
the good-looking girls at his house when he
f ives a party. He had one last night, ami
he only uncomfortable feature about the
was ulluged that tho company had vio
lated section 7 of the inter-state commerce
act, forbidding any conspiracy or agree
ment to prevent tho continuous operation
of railroads in tho handling of freight
traffic. When the hour of 12 o'clock was
reached, Mr. Anderson moved that tho
resolution again bo takon up oil Thursday,
when au understanding should bo
hod upon it at 1:30 o’clock, but Durham of
Illinois, who has buon an opponent of tho
measure, made tho point that the hour of
adjournment had boon reached, so the
matter went over to tho next meeting,
as unfinished business, without any special
order, or immediate prospect of a vote
upon It. With a few exceptions, tlic mem
bers of tbo committee sourn to tie opposed
to the proposod inquiry, either for the
.reason that it is not a proper subject of
Inquiry by the government, or because
they beliovo the inquiry should lie made
by the inter-state commerce commission.

tional convention, to assemble in Heptem-
ber, provided that a majority of tlie votes
cast at the election should bo in favor ot

regret that his solemn conviction of duty

tlmt he would ho u> faithful to the trust

The Internal Revenue Lhivh.
Washington, Jan. 21.-—The house ju
diciary committee to-day unanimously ap
proved, and will report to the house favor
ably, a substitute for tbo Dill to amend the
internal rt venue laws. Introduced by Mr.
Henderson of North Carolina. In its pres
ent shape, tho bill abolishes all minimum
penalties for the infraction of the revenue
laws, and confers on tho courts discretion
in tho imposition of punishment within
tte limit fixed by tho statute. It forbids
the issue of a warrant in such cases upon
information or belief, except upon affi
davit made by the collector, or deputy col
lector, or revenue agent, and, with this
exception, no warrants arc to bo issued
except upon a sworn complaint setti.ig
forth the laits as within the personal
knowledge of the affiant. The payment
of the fees for warrants is forbidden, un
less there be a conviction or the prosecu
tion has been authorized by the United
States attorney, or unless ti.e prosecution
was begun by information or Indictment.
The bill makes all warrants returnable
before the nearest officer, who may make
a preliminary examination and discharge,
ball or commit to prison the p««*son ar
rested. Tne circuit courts of tho United
Statos and district courts arc also author
ized to appoint ns many commissioners in

Washington, Jan. 24.—The district re
publican convention, to elect delegates to
the national convention in Chicago, assem
bled at Willard’s ball, in this city, at 1C
o’clock this morning. As most of the del
egates were negroes, and as thero were
contesting delegations present from nearly
all tho precincts In the city, thero was
every reason to expect tho same tumult
and disorder which prevailed at the con
vention Which was hoid for tho same pur
pose four years ago. In less than half an
nour the convention was littlo more than
a howling mob, and the rival factions were
struggling fiercely for possession of the
stage. Frederick Douglass, during a Driest
lull, made a short speech, counseling
order and harmony, but he had no sooner
finished than the bedlam broke loose
again. Quarreling, wrangling and shout
ing continued until about 2 o’clock, nt
which time tfio convention was no nearer
organization than when it assembled. The
police, who had been passive spectators of
the disorderly proceedings, then took oos-
scssion and cleared tlie hull. Half an
hour later all persons who could show
credentials as delegates, were rc-admitted
one by one, and the convention resumed
its session. Those of tho delegates
who belonged to what is known as
the Chase faction finally succeeded in get;

tlie teachers and pupils in the state, iu the
late storm, thut prommont people and

Dltlnn Make* A Npeech.
London, Jan. 21.—John Dillon, in a
speech at Cambridge to-day, declared that,
notwithstanding the subserviency of the
local magistracy to tho tyranny of the
castle authorities, tlie government’s policy
in Ireland was an abject failure. Wherever
the leaguo bad been proclaimed, said Dil
lon, its strength had been trob’.ed. Homo
of the league’s greatest “plan of cam
paign” victories had been gained in the
past fortnight. Dillon’s only fear was not
that the spirit of Irish nationality
would be quenched by coercion, but that
the last chauco of knitting the hearts of
Englishmen and Irishmen in bonds of love
una sjpnpathy would pass unseized.

Dublin, Jan. 24.—John Bright, writing
on “Gladstonian Partisanship in Municipal
Elections,” says: “Tho followers ot Glad
stone have adopted the policy that la op
posed to genuine liberal principles. They
have swallowed*the doctrines which up to
two years ago they condemned and ab
horred. At the invitation of au eminent
statesman they tried to break up parlia
ment, but only succeeded in breaking up
their own party. Liberals must boar the
evils thus thrust upon them. What is
good in the eountry will survive the pres
ent troubles.”
