The board of trustees of the university

tion.
Deputy Collector MaAffee and Deputy
Marshal Harbison seized a distillery Satur
day in Lumpkin county, at the foot of
Cedar mountain, near Porter Springs. The
distillery belonged to Benjamin Swaine,
who escaped, carrying his distillery with

strikes and the western rate war.
The Standard Oil brokers were prominent
buyers of Reading, while Chicago sold. St.
Paul and London did little baying of Lake
Shore, but there were no important trans
actions and the little life at the opening
soon disappeared. There was a feeble
drive made at Omaha, and on small sales
it was hammered down nearly a point, but
no other feature marked the trading. The
market closed very dull and abont steady.
The entire transactions amount to 48,000

FIFTIETH CONGRESS.
LABOR TROUBLES.
Trying
to Settle the Long Strike in the
Reading Region.
Philadelphia, Feb. 14.—Every indica
tion points to the most desperate means
being resorted to for the purpose of bring
ing the strike in the Schuykill region to an
end. Three members of the executive
committee of the District assembly 213,
Haks, Ford and Button, left this city this
morning after a fruitless effort to secure a
conference with the officials of
the Reading Coal and Iron company,
aad the belief that they have returned to
their respective localities, with instruc
tions for a general strike, on or beiore
Saturday, of all eccentric engineers, fire
men, pump men, and other mining me
chanics, is confirmed by the following
telegram, which was forwarded early to
day :
To E. Thompson, M. W., Sub-Division of
Miners’ National District Assembly 213,
Middleport. Pa.: Have all the engineers,
firemen, and pipe men, in division 12,
ready to go out with National district 213.
[Signed] W. T. Leads,
M. W. Nat’i D. A. 135.
It is understood that an alliance was
formed to-day, through the medium of the
general executive board of the Knights of
Labor, between the miners of district 135
and district 213, whereby the two districts
were to act in harmony in the contem-
E lated move. Sub-divisioo 12 is composed
irgely of engineers and other skilled labor
about the mines, and they are attached to
district 135 because they are not numeri
cally strong enough to form a division
of their own within district 213.
Ail of the interests have been harmonized,
however, and should the proposed strike
take place, it would result in flooding all
of the idle mines and cause a damage
which months of time could hardly undo.
The leaders say that while they realize the
hurtful effects of such a step, they feel
that it is forced upon them by the stub
born refusal of the Reading officials to
conf r with them with reference to their
grievances.
Shot by a Preacher.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 14.—Special:
Fayette Malone, a railroad contractor at
Morris Station, fifteen miles north of this
city, was shot and seriously wounded late
yesterday afternoon. The shooting was
done by John Sugarth, a Methodist
preacher. Malone was very drunk, and
after abusing Sugarth, drew his pistol, but
the latter was armed and got the drop.
Only two shots were fired. Sugarth has
been released on bond.

Phelan offered bis amendment declaring
United States protectorate over the canal,
but it was rejected, and the chairman will
report the Dill with the amendments to

tution of his amendment. He declared the
latter to be the annunciator of the Monroe
doctrine.

News of the Day From the Capital of
Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 14.—Special
At 12 o’clock to-day, as tbe incoming pas
senger train was coming into Montgom
ery, it was run into by a switch engine at
a crossing, out near the shops The engine
struck the rear coach, and upset it. Three
iady passengers were in tne coach, but
fortunately neither of them were hurt.
The coach itself was considerably broken
up, but not seriously damaged.
Still Another Richmond.
Montgomery, Ala.. Feb. 14.—Special:
Capt. Jas. H. Savage* of Calhoun county,
who is in the city attending supreme court,
has announced himself as a candidate for
state auditor. He says be is on the track
to stay, and to win.
The Pcarher-Gafford Sensation.
Montgomery. Ala., Feb. 14.—Special:
The Peaeher-Gafford sensation, a lull ac
count of which was printed in the
Enquirer-Sun this morning, has been the
talk of the town to-day. All the parties
concerned in the sad affair are well-known
here. Peacher’s family, most of whom
live here, and a high-toned, honorable
people, are deeply grieved over the con
duct of the way ward son and brother in
Texas.
Ail Important Decision.
Montgomery, Feb. 14.—The supreme
court on to-day decided the celebrated
ease of Have against Kennerly from tbe
Mobile city court, involving the question
as to the constitutionality of t he legislation
of 1879, authorizing the adjustment and set-
lement of the then existing indebtness of
the citv of Mobile, and providing tor the
levy of a special tax for that purpose. The
opinion of the court was delivered by
Judge Somerville and fully sustains the
constitutionality of the act of December,
1880, relating to this subject. It is held
that section four of article eleven,
of the state constitntion is,
not violated by the levy of
the tax of th-ee-fourths of one per cent,
imposed by section 8 of tbe debt settle
ment act; that this section is not a grant
of the power to tax, but a mere limitation
upon the legislative power to levy taxes
for state purposes, just as sections 5 and 7,
of the same article, are limitations upon
the power of the legislature to levy taxes
for county and municipal purposes re
spectively. The porl of Mobile being the
legal corporate successor of the city of
Mobile, it is responsible for its debts The
repeal of the charter did not destroy or
impair these obligations, nor the
remedy for their enforcement. This was
prohibited by the constitution of both the
United States and of the state. The duty,
therefore, it is said remained iD tbe state
to adopt suitable legislation for the honest
adjustment of these debts and this was 1
done bv the acts of February, 1879, and
December, 1S80, in a mode free from all
constitutional objection. The opinion
discusses these points elaborately and an-
Short in His Account.
Philadelphia, Feb. 14.—David B. Hilt,
treasurer of the Philadelphia Lodge of
Benevolent Order of Elks is said to be
about $6500 short in bis accounts. Mr.
Hilt was the custodian of the Elks’ charity
fund, amounting to about $7000, and it was
his doty to have the money deposited to
the credit of the society with the Fidel
ity Trust company. Yesterday, however,
it was discovered that the Elks’ deposit
amounted to only $1515. Hilt has prom
ised to meet the trustees of the order
to-day and make a full explanation. The
order ie composed largely of actors and
the disclosures' have caused considerable
excitement in theatrical circles here. Mr.
Hilt is an insurance broker and has been
treasurer of the local lodge ol Elsa since
1881.
A warrant for Hilt’s arrest was issued
this morning, but it was withdrawn later,
Hilt having settled his accounts in fall. He
and his friends claim that there was no de
fault or wrong-doing of any kiDd. He had
collected the funds for the Elks and depos
ited the funds ol the society along with his
own funds. He settled when tbe accounts
were balanced.
Among the Mines.
Shenandoah, Pa., Feb. 14.—Seerby A
Co’s colliery, south of town, resumed
work to-day cm the same terms os the
other individual operators. The Bear
Ridge collieries, east of town, are also
being put in shape for a resumption of
operations. Kelley Run and William
Penn collieries are daily turning away
miners applying for work. All fears of
violence at the individual mines have now
subsided. Tbe Reading mines are still idle.
commerce in reporting the river and har
bor bill, to set out tbe important facts
bearing on each item, was reported by
Mr. Jones of Nevada, and agreed to.
Mr. Blsckleman offered a resolution de
claring it not in order, except by unani
mous consent, for tbe committee on ap
propriations to report to the senate for
consideration, or action, any general ap
propriation bill, without having had it
under consideration for ten days, or more.
Referred to the committee on rules.
The resolution for inquiry into the
causes of the inefficient mail service was
taken up. Speeches attacking the post
office department were made by Senators
Plumb, Piatt and Maaderson. Senators
Reagan and Sauls bury championed the de
partment. The resolution went over with
out opposition.
The Blair educational bill was then
taken up as unfinished business, and Sena
tor Hawley addressed tbe senate in opposi
tion to it. Discussing the details or the
bill and commenting upon its requirements
to report to the secretary ot the in
terior on the school system of each
state, he said that the only response
which the governor of Connecticut
could give to such a demand was, “I have
the honor to refer you to the history of
this commonwealth for the last 150 years
to show you that it never has been in tbe
habit ot reporting to any odc how we
treat the people of this state.” In sum
ming np ois argument, Hawley said : “In
my judgment this bill, glorious as the cause
is, fascinating as tbe arguments in favor of
education always are, is a bill creeping in
to control interests which, from the Ply
mouth Rock np to this day, have been un
der local control, and wisely so. It is a
bill to promote mendicancy; to cultivate
beggars. It is a bill declaring the failure
of local self-government in one of the su
preme interests of the people. It falsely
declares the bankruptcy of the states,
which, before our very eyes, are rich and
growing. It makes an ineffectual
if not false pretense of temporary action.
It is not for eight years. It is the begin
ning of a permanent society; of a perma
nent new relation between tbe federal
government and the states. It never will
go back, and never will diminish: but its
influence will grow. I hope the bill will
be defeated. I wish that every senator
would vote upon it, just exactly
as he feels about it, and not
as beiDg bound by resolutions of state leg
islatures or previous committees, or any
thing of that sort. The longer the bill is
thought of and talked of the weaker it
grows, and the nearer to constitutional
right and justice the people and congress
are coming. I am wiring to see the bill
defeated by any of tbe constitutional
means, whether by the house, by the sen
ate, or by the president.”
The bill went over till to-morrow, Sena
tors Hale and Berry Intimating their in
tention to speak uion it.
The bill appropriating $10,000 for the
sub-tropical exposition at Jacksonville,
Florida, was passed.
An executive session was held, and the
senate afterwards adjourned.
House.
Washington, Feb, 14.—Mr. Mills, of
Texas, from the committee on rules, re
ported a resolution assigning the second
and fourth Monday in each month for the
consideration of business relating to the
District of Columbia. Adopted.
Also, a resolution reducing the number
of members on the committee on library
from five to three. The report accompany
ing the resolution attests that tbe statute
providing for a joint committee on library
prescribes that it shall consist of three
members of each house. The resolution
was adopted. Its effect will be to drive
Mr. Gay, of Louisiana, and Mr. Owen, of
Indiana, from tbe committee.
Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, from the com
mittee on rules, reported a resolution
amending the rules relative to the call ot
the house, so as to provide that when a
member voluntarily appears at the door of
the house he shall be immediately admit
ted. Adopted. At present a member who
voluntarily appears at the door is denied
admittance until he is placed in custody by
the sergeant-at-arms.
Also, a resolution requiring the journal
to show when a member introduces a bill,
by request. Adopted.
Mr. Randall, from the same committee,
in trust for the people of he state. Several
members of tbe oommlitee were desirous
that the committee should include in the
bill, a provision to refund the cot
ton tax. This desire finally
took tbe form of a motion which was voted
down by a decided majority, but Mr. Oates
will, in all probability, present a minority
report on tbe subject.
The committee also ordered a favorable
report, without amendment, upon the
joint resolution which passed the senate,
proposing a c institutional amendment to
continue the term of office of the president
and members of the fiftieth congress until
the 30th day of April, 1889, and substitu
ting tae 30th of April for the 4th of March
thereafter as the commencement and ter
mination of tbe official terms of the presi
dent, vice-president and senators and rep
resentatives.
The same committee has agreed to re
port a substitute for Stone’s bill, intended
to prevent intei ference by federal courts
with state officials, in the discharge of
their duties. The substitute will take the
form of a declaration that nothing, in
defining the duties of the federal courts,
shall be so construed as to authorize tbe
officer ot a state to perform any duty upon
order of the federal authorities not im
posed upon him by the constitution or
laws of the state of which he is an officer.
The Order modified.
Washington. Feb. 14—Upon represen
tation of the officials of the telegraph com
panies that their business has been very
much interfered with and tbe public in
commoded by the transfer of their offices
from the main corridor of the house wing
of the capitol to the gallery, the speaker
has modified his order so as to allow the
Western Union and Postal telegraph com
panies to resume commercial business in
the lower corridors. ' A torce of workmen
was engaged this morning in reconstruct
ing the offices removed last week.

an<^ Mrs. Cleveland, this evening, gave

occasions, wi-s beautifully and elaborately
decorated with foliage, plants, and a pro
fusion of rare and fragrant flowers. The

The attendance was one of the largest of
the season.
Another Lively Debate in the House of
Commons—Interesting Affairs In Ire
land—The Doctors and the
Crown Prince’s Throat.
London, Feb. 14.—Sir James Ferguson,
under foreign secretary, explained in the
house of commons to-day, that ic stating
recently that tbe British government was
not pledged to military action in behalf of
any European power, he implied naval ac
tion also: Beyond the treaties known to
the country, none existed. He declined
to produce the correspondence with the
European governments. The production
of such correspondence, he said, was not'
in accordance with the uniform precedent,
nor was it advisable, in view of the present
situation.
Labouchere asked if any engagement
other than the treaty had been made.
Ferguson replied that he was not in a
position to give a further answer.
Sir G. O. Trevelyan then resumed the de
bate on tbe address in reply to the queen’s
speech. He contended that the coercion
act had done little to suppress crime, but a
great deal to alienate public opinion. The
conviction of twelve members of the house
ot commons would happily do more than
anything else to bring about a settlement
of the Irish question. They had seen how
Irishmen coaid be arrested on English soil
for a crime created under the coercion
act, a crime- which did not exist in the
English law, and for which Englishmen
could not be arrested, nor a foreigner be
surrendered. It was obvious that the
government meant to pursue its policy of
oppression in Ireland, refusing even to
concede a modicum of local self-govern
ment. He reminded the leaders of the
liberal -unionists tint after six months
of the earl ot Carnavon’s reign, they had
advocated tbe extension of l be local gov
ernment in Ireland. Why were they now
silent when the tory government had
decided to try to rule Ireland by
coercion alone, ignoring the policy of
concession, without which ic was impos
sible for the country to be peaceful and
prosperous.
Mayor Saunderson taunted Sir George
with shirking an explanation of his change
ot opinion. He quoted extracts from Sir
George’s speech denouncing the league and
Gladstone’s do.icy. Parnell, he said, had
compared Baltour to a vicious cat aad
Heafy but two short years ago had likened
Sir George to a rat. The Pamellites and
the ’’rat” were close friends now in fight-
crown prince under the influence of chloro
form, preparatory to the performance of
the operation of tracheotomy last week,
Dr. Mackenzie demurred, but upon finding
himself in the minority of one against four,
he yielded. The crown prince was for
bidden to speak yesterday, and when he
wished to make any communication he
either made signs or wrote.
Dr. Mackenzie, in his report on the
crown prince's case, will quote Prof. Vir-
chon’s assertion, that he found no indica
tions of malignant disease in the matter
examined by him. It is rumored that
there is further difference of opinion in
the case among tbe doctors in attendance
upon the crown prince. Prof. Cappard
has been summoned from Brussels.
London, Feb. 14.—A dispatch from San
Remo says that the crown prince’s doc
tors were dismayed by his sleeplessness on
Monday night, and that they are unable to
argee as to treatment.

Churchill’s Visit to the Czar.
London, Feb. 15.—A dispatch from
Paris to the Times says: Authentic infor
mation has been received from St. Peters
burg that Lord Randolph ChurchiJl on his
recent visit, submitted to the czar
a proposal relative to England’s policy as
regards Russia. The proposition was that
Russia be left liberty of action in Europe
on the condition that she do not further
encroach upon Afghan territory. It is
stated that the czar favors this policy and
if it sh<mld be adopted would even not
object to Afghanistau becoming an integral
part of India.
What Spurgeon Says. *
London, Feb. 14.—Rev. Mr. Spurgeon,
in a letter to the Wesleyan Reform union
in reply to a resolution adopted by that
body expressing approval of his course in
withdrawing from ihe Baptist union, says:
‘‘I am unable to remain longer quiet when
the war is for the authority of scriptures
and the great doctrines of man’s ruin,
his redemption and the finality of the
Lord’s judgment. Being zealous for the
old evangelical faith, I may speak too
sternly against the enemies of truth, and
my words may seem unnecessarily sharp
words. We will neither fight for the word
and the gospel; we will bear our outspo
ken witness against this modern purga
tory.”

lished here to-day, for the first time, from
Gen. U. S. Grant to Admiral Ammc-n,
dated Galena, 111., June 22, 1880. The
general says therein: “To-day I received a
letter from Mr. Seligman enclosing a
cablegram from de Lesseps, offering me
the presidency of the Panama canal (the
New York presidency), with the same
salary he is to receive, namely, 25,000
francs per annum. T he letter also says that
Mr. Seligman’s, with some other bank or
bankers that they can associate with them,
will have the business of receiving Ameri
can subscriptions for performing the work.
I telegraphed back my non-acceptance,
and wrote giving my reasons. I gave the
work that had been done ia the way of
surveys, what had been proven by these
surveys, etc., and said that while 1 would
like to have my name associated with the
successful completion of s. ship canal be
tween the two oceans, I was not willing
to connect it with a failure, and when I
believed the subscribers would lose all
they put in.”

The Metropolitan Bank.
The case tjons amounted to 4 or 5 points between ex
tremes, with the close a traction above last
evening. There was an absence of influ
encing features from sources of supply, or
foreign markets, and most of the trading
berofthe Amalgamated association says
he is of the opinion that they will co-op
erate with district 16 in its efforts to ob
tain the advance. He also expressed the
belief that in case the demand was refused
by the operators, there will be a general
going out of the miners, though, perhaps,
not immediately, as every effort will first
be put forth to avert a strike.

Pottsville, Pa., Feb. 14.—At the Otto
colliery this evening ; when the men quit
work, they were again assaulted by a mob
of women with calathumpian band, and
treated to all sorts of insults and indigni
ties. Detachments of police which had
been sent to the scene on account of last
night’s outrage, scattered the women and
restored order. The coal and iron com
pany officials in this city say that the Otto

Among the executive communications
presented to the bouse was one from the

resolution calling for information relative
to tbe plan and scope of compilation of
the official records of the war of the re

Mr. Richardson of North Carolina, from
the committee on printing, reported to
the senate a concurrent resolution lor the
printing of 7000 additional copies of
executive document fifty-one, on the sub
ject of cattlo and dairy products. On this
resolution, Mr. Martin of Texas, delivered
bis maiden speech, and though he made it
regardless of the tact that he had not re
ceived recognition from the chair, his
earnest declaration that every farmer in
the land should have a copy of this valu
able book was received with applause.
Mr. Hatch of Missouri, offered an
amendment, increasing to 25,000 the num
ber of copies to be printed. Adopted.
On motion of Mr. Richardson, the reso
lution was changed from a concurrent to a
joint one, and an appropriation of $62,500
was made to pay for tbe publication, and
as so amended, it was pa sed.

This leader of the league could say noth
ing to justify the terrorism against which
the government was fighting, tj deliver
the people. Every man who really cared
for the welfare of Ireland would applaud
the government for destroying an organi
zation that was preying upon the vitals of
the country. The Pamellites were men
who were never law abiding and who
never would be. Let the law be what it
might, an Irishman was not a man who
naturally sympathized with law of any
kind. [Laughter.] Irishmen had virtues,
but that was one of tbe defects of
the race to which he himself
belonged. He denounced Gladstone as
blinding the people to the immoral
teachings of the league, and asked, if the
mo si law of the Gladstonians, “Thou
shalt not steal ? except from a landlord,”
was likely to educate the moral sense of
the nation.
Labouchere said that Major Sanderson
was the mouth-piece of the conservative
oabel, which had been formed to compel
a reluctant government to protect the in
terests of Irish landlords. When Sander
son taunted Trevelyan with ohanging his
opinion, he showed that he hims If was
once a radical. [Laughter.] His speech
was evidence of the failure of co
ercion, because he demanded more
coercion. [Cheers.] Naturally, the gov
ernment, in order to retain the country’s
support, told them that continued coercion
would lead the Irish to abandon home rule
and erect a statue to an eminent uncle and
his nephew. [Laughter.] He concluded
with an attack upon the government with
reference to the Mitehellstown affair,
which he said demanded strict inquiry.
Sir Charles Russell, in refuting Major
Sanderson’s statements, asserted that to
his knowledge Gladstone sent an apology
to Col. Dolphin before there bad been any
question ot legal threat or a solicitor’s
letter.
Russell, liberal nationalist, member for
siege, was defeated by a vote of 153 to 100.
Contrary to general expectation, the rail
way bill introduced in the landtag to-day,
contains no provision for the construction
of lines of strategtei • importance.
Advices from San Remo state that the
crown prince walked abont his rooms for

The Russo- French Alliance.
London, Feb. 15 —A dispatch from
Vienua to the Standard says: Negotiations
for the Russo-French alliance are in a very
forward condition. France only hesitates
as to when the treaty ought to be signed,
and how to keep it a secret from Bis
marck, who, it is expected, would at once
declare war on learning of the compact.
MASHED TO DEATH.
A Derrick Falls on a Street Car and Kills
Several People.
Shortly before 10 o’clock this morning,
as a Reed avenue street car, filled with pas
sengers, was passing under a large derrick
used in erecting the elevated railroad
structure on Broadway, near Sumner
avenue, Brooklyn, the ropes sustaining the
derrick gave way and the derrick fell,
crushing the car like an eggshell. Seventeen
of the passengers on the car were injured,
and two people killed. Michael McAuley,
driver of the car, was crushed to death.
Karl Kuebler, a German employed on the
derrick, was also killed. It was said that
some persons were buried underneath the
ruins, ar.d workmen are now engaged in
removing the debris, to learn if there are
anv other victims of the disaster.
Four people were killed, one of whom
was the driver of the car, and another was

The accident was caused by a collapse of
the immense derrick used to lift into place
the iron girders which form the track
supports of the elevated railway. The
girder derrick and the derrick platform,
with the boiler, all came down together
just as the street car was passing beneath.
A car going in an opposite direction, with
a much larger load of people, stopped just
as the girder fell in front of the horses’

were buried under the ruins of the derrick
and boilers.
An Outlaw Killed.
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 14.—Brock Cornett,
better known as Capt. Dick, the desperado,
and leader of the notorious train robbers,
was shot and killed yesterday afternoon,
while resisisting arrest, by Deputy Sheriff
Allee of Frio county, Texas. Cornett was
a noted outlaw, and has been the leader in
several train robberies. Cornett’s gang are
the original^Texas train robbers, having
had no connection with the Burrows and
Block band, recently broken up, and they
were as successful in their career as the re
nowned Frank and Jesse James gang,
which excited such terror in Missouri
some years ago. Three have been cap
tured, one killed, and two are at large.
Fox Released.
New York, Feb. 14.—There was an ex
amination in the Tombs police court to
day in th^caafe of Richard K. Fox, who
was charged with participating in the ar
rangements for a prize fight between Pat
rick Farley and Tom Doris. It was not
shown that Fox knew anything about the
fight or was present when the arrange
ments were made. Besides, there was no
Pamellites. To be sure they remembered
Mitehellstown, but they appeared to have
forgotten Tullamoie, about which they
made such a fuss during the recess. Rus
sell made a long speech in which he com
mended the government’s policy and
urged Balfour to go straight forward and
have neither eyes nor .ears for anything
ontside the four corners Of the law.
Clancey replied on behalf of the Parnell-
ites.
Mr. C. H. Anderson, member from Elgin
and Nairn, liberal, gave notice that he
would introduce an amendment to the ad
dress in favor of the appointment of a land
commission, similar to the Irish commis
sion for Scotland, where a fall in tbe price
of produce has rendered it impossible to
pay rents unless they are reduced.
The Prosecutions to Cease.
London, Feb. 14.—At the cabinet coun
cil, held to-day, it was decided to instruct
tbe Irish executive to cease prosecuting
newspapers for publishing reports of meet
ings of suppressed branches of the league.
A Division to Be Had.
London, Feb. 14.—Arrangements have
been made for a division on the Parnell
amendment on Thursday. The conserva

Dublin, Feb. 14.—W. J. Lane, M. P.,
fourth division of Cork, who was sentenced
to a month’s imprisonment at Tullamore
tor inciting to resist the bailiffs, was re
leased from jail to-day. There was a crowd
in front of the jail when he emerged, but
little enthusiasm was shown.
The Freeman’s Journal asserts that the
New Orleans, Feb. 14.—His gracious
majesty Rex made bis a ppearance on tbe
streets to-day in a gorgeous pageant. Tbe
theme illustrated was the ‘‘Realm of
Flowers.” The weather is most delight
ful, in fact, could not be more appropriate
to the occasion, tbe temperature being 70°
in the shade and the sun shining brightly.
The streets along the line of the proces
sion were crowded with spectators. The
car containing Boeuf Gras was the first in
the procession, the float being decorated
with flowers of every description.
Then came tableau No. 1 which represents
the king of the carnival, who from his
realm in the land oi flowers gives an illus
tration of their varied loveliness. Then
followed a tableau reprepreaenting spring
—the dariy, the violet, the honeysuckle,
tbe sunflower, the cornflower, the lily of
the valley, the rose, the pond l ly, thv for
get-me-not. the Nile lily, the golden rod,
the easter lily, the convoloulus ferns, easier
and tulip. The closing tableau numbered
nineteen, illustrated tne fairies at home.
Then followed a display made by the order
of the moon in burlesque illustration of the
scenes and situations of every-day life.
The Rex reception at theexnosition hall
to night was a very brilliant affair. Harry
Howard, it is understood, did the honors
as Rex, and Miss Jennie Cottranx was t.he»
queen. The Proteus tableaux and ball at
the French opera house was also a grand
affair. Bails were given as usual at all
the theaters and halls throughout the city.
Mobile. Ala., Feb. 14.—The mardi gras
celebration here this year was the best
that has been witnessed in a 1 mg time,
and the attendance of visitors was the
largest known in the past ten years. The
parade of the “Mystic Krewe,” last night,
comprised seven gorgeous floats, illustrat
ing scenes in tht celestial, terrestrial and
infernal kingdom. To-day the knigbts of
beverly pictured the crusade in a series of
three floats, with a large cavalcade
of men in full armor, comic cow-bo.vs
then caricatured local issues in seven floats
and to-night the order of myths illus
trated the origin of Colon with eight rep
resentations of the mythological subjects.
The infant mystic did not parade, but gave
a grand ball in the Princess theater, the
interior of which was cotr pleteiv trans
formed so as to represent a scene from the
picture of Watteau. The guests were cos
tumed to the suitage of Louis Quinzie.
The legends of chat epoch, and the mid
dle ages were brilliantly portrayed by Pro
teus to-night. The programme of the
pageant included the illust'ations of the
tabled deeds of the Lombardian period
and incidents in story of “The Quest of the
Holy Grail,” together with tableaux from
stories of “Lohengrin,” “Tannhauser” and
“Die Walkser.” Proteus iu compliment
to his cousin Rex, whose pageant illus
trated the “Realm of Flames’ - appeared in
the guise of the “Prince of Flowers,” rid
ing a butterfly which hovered over an im
mense bed of flowers. This portion of the
pageant constituted the first tableaux;
the second tableaux, “King Ruther’s de
parture for Constantinople;” the third
reception and banquet given by Emperor
Constantine to King Rutber; tbe fourth, a
“Combat between the warriors and fabled
animals at Moorlaud lake;” the fifth, tbe
“Death of Drusian;” the sixth, “Dietrich
of Birn rescues Queen Virginia;” the sev
enth, “King Taurius’ realm;” tne eighth,
“Rose garden flowers in perpetual bloom,
surrounded by eternal snox;” the ninth,
“Seigfrier slays the dragon;” the
tenth, “Treasures of the Nieblung-i;” the
eleventh, “Awakening of Brueuhelde;”
the twelfth, “Hajer in the Griffen Nest;”
the thirteenth, “Cudrun and the Mer
maid;” the fourteenth, “Beowulf, the
Diver, and the Hhe-Wolf of the Seaj” the
fifteenth, “Sir Percival, Crowned King of
Holy Grail;” the sixteenth, “Bayard’s Es
cape from Mount Vulcans;” tne seven
teenth, “Tannhauser at Horselberg, the
Realm of Venus;” the eighteenth, “Lohen
grin, the Knight of the Swan’s Rescuing
Elia.” This was one of the handsomest
displays ever made in this city, if it did
not eclips i all previous efforts in this line.
Memphis, Feb. 14.—The King of the
Carnival has held reign here since yester
day noon, when the keys of the city were
surrendered amid great pomp. Gov.
Robert L. Taylor took part in tbe ceremo
nies. Last night, at the Gayoso hotel,
the king’s ball was attended by over 1500
invited guests and was one of the grandest
events in the history of the state. Miss
Eliza Featherstone of H illy Springs, Mis
sissippi, was crowned queen. To-day
the streets have been crowded with
spectators from adjniningtowns and cities,
and hundreds of maskers have been
parading tnrough the principal thorough
fares. At8 o’clock tonight the sphinx
pageant moved along the main street amid
a blaze of fire, the subject being scenes
from Shakespeare’s plays, fourteen in
number. It is estimated that 40,000
people lined the route of march.
At the theater to-night, after the
pageant of the sphinx had disappeared,
the mystic Memphians appeared tn tab
leaux presenting the scenes which led to
the Trojan war. The audience was bril
liant and represented the wealth, intelli
gence and beauty of this city and sur
rounding country. A grand ball followed,
the parquette of the theater having been
especially covered for tbe occasion. Four
public balls are in full blast to-night and
tbe revival of mardi gras in Memphis has
been a grand success.
THE GUARDS’ BALL.
A Splendid Array of Beauty anil Chivalry.
The Social Event of the Season.
The greatest event of the season, in the
social world, was the annual Valentine
ball of tbe Columbus Guards, at the Hotel
Riddle, last night. The large and spacious
dining room of tbe hotel was filled with
fair women and brave men, the beauty
and chivalry of Columbus was gathered, to
spend an evening of pure and
unalloyed pleasure, and all went
“as merry as a marriage bell.” The ver
dict of every one was that it was a grand
success, and an event that will be long re
membered by every guest. The members
of the Guards wore their new undress
