all tney coaid to aid the committee in
making it one of the most interesting
features of the Exposition.
DON'T MARK IT CIRCUMSCRIBED.
Rev. J. H. K. Smith said that he hoped
that the reunion would not be confined to
the three Htates named by Mr. Ooetchius.
He waa from Mississippi, the home of Jef
ferson Davis, and wanted to take a part.
Mr. Ooetchius said that the reunion was
general. He hoped that every Confederate
veteran throughout the entire South would
be present on that occasion. The object
of tne meeting was to enlist the sympa
thies of the veterans of Columbus and vi
cinity, so that they might urge their
former comrades to come aod participate.
He hoped that every veteran present
would send out as many letters and invita
tions as possible.
Mr. Ooetchius stated that the commit
tee had already invited a number of dis
tinguished Confederates. Among those
who had accepted the invitation were
Oen. Worrell, oi Savannah, Gen. Holtzclaw,
of Montgomery, Gen. Harrison, of Opelika,
<Jen. Colquitt, of Georgia. Gen. McLaws,
of AnguHta, and Maj. Waddell, of Seale.
Calls were then made for Colonel Lionel
C. Levy, who responded in his happiest
style, and was frequently applauded.
Rev. Robert H. Harris was then called
upon, and responded with a short but elo
quent address.
Captain C. A. Redd then took the floor.
Captain Redd said; “I never made but one
speech to soldiers in my life, and that lost
ine a commission as major. The nigbt be
fore the election the boys came around
serenading. 1 told them that I did not
leave home to speak, but to fight. If you
elect me major to-morrow morning, I will
see that you fight like heroes. I was de

New Orleans May Pasa.
New Orleans, Sept. 17.—The first
news received here of the declaration of
quarantine bv the Texas health officer
against New Orleans was contained in the
Sunday moraiQg papers. The Louisiana
health authorities at once telegraphed a
vigorous protest to Governor Ross against
the action, and to-day the quarantine was
raised.
Reoult of th* Meeting of the Executive
Committee—Ot her Capital Note*.
Atlanta, Sept. 17.—The Fulton Demo
cratic Executive Committee met again to
day under a call issued by the chairman.
The attendance was larger than at the
last meeting and better feeling prevailed.
A number of strong Democratic speeches
were made, looking to the preservation of
harmony in the party. The last fight made
by members of the committee opposed to
the methods resorted to in the primary,
waa in a resolution creating a returning
board of five, which should take the
ballot boxes, throw out all the votes
which in their opirdon were
Illegal, and to report Ut the committee the
names of the rightful nominees, which re
port should be accepted as final. This
resolution was effectually riddled, and
finally withdrawn. It was then decided, a
few members of the committee dif-seating,
to consolidate the vote and to declare
Messrs. Howell, Venable and O’Neill the
nominees of the Democratic party. Thus
ends the latest political sensation in Fulton
county. The Democrats of Fulton can
now pay more attention to the antic* of
the alleged third party.

Good News from Decatur—The Health of
the City—Pound Guilty.
Montgomery, Sept. 17.—This morning
Mayor Reese received a letter from Dr.
Jerome Cochran, State Health Officer of
Alabama, who is still at Decatur. Dr.
Cochran reports that there are no new de
velopments in Decatur. He has establish
ed two stations for the fumigation of mails
going out of Decatur, one at Harris Sta
tion, on the Louisville aud Nashville rail
road, and one at Belle Mina, on the M. and
C. road.
THE HEALTH OF THE CITY.
Mr. Moses Clay, the City S9Xton of
Montgomery, gives the information that
since August27, nearly a month ago, there
has only been one burial in the cemetery,
from the death of a white person inside
the city limits, and that one was a non
resident, who came to Montgomery sick.
As a healthy city, Montgomery will show
her hand with any city on the continent.
FOUND GUILTY.
Dave Johnson, who, on Saturday night,
stabbed Ran Dixon in the neck, was found
guilty of assault to murder, in the police
court this morning, and fined £25. Both
men are negroes.
Pnigress anil Politics In Carrollton.
Carrollton, Sept. 17.—Carrollton is
wide awake just now to her business in
terests. During the last week a bank has
been established. E. G. Kramer, one of
our leading merchants and a man of much
public spirit, has been elected president,
and Henry Lanier, of West Point, cashier.
A stock company is forming for the pur
pose of building a cotton factory, and an
other to build a new hotel. An Alliance
store is on the tapis, too. These things,
the outgrowth of our increased
railroad facilities, taken in con
nection with improvements already in pro
gress, are attracting attention and stimu
lating the prices of real estate. But we
are not altogether devoted to mammon in
Carroll. There are quite a number of de
voted patriots here ready to serve their
country in any public office in the gift of
the people. The Senatorial convention of
Troup, Heard and Carroll counties assem
bles soon at Franklin, in Heard county.
To this convention the largest part of the
party has appointed thirty delegates. The
other section will send nine. A smart
rumpus is anticipated down thereabout
who will be admitted into the Demo
cratic fold. Eich side thinks the other
as good as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Some of these immaculate Democrats
have knocked off the widest
plank of the St. Louis platform, the tariff
reform plank, and are only opposed to
such trusts as put nothing in their own
pockets. In fact we have good Democrats
here like snakes. They have tried to
swallow up the whole county politically,
and only desisted from the job because
tbeir stomachs were not as capacious as
they supposed. Then again, many- think
the Alliance have thrown down all the
implements of husbandry but the hoe,
ana with it they expect to cut the snake’s
head off once for all.
Towu Topics lu Ty Ty.
Ty Ty, Sept 16 —The recent heavy rains
have done a good deal of damage to the
bridges of this county. The abutments of
the two bridges on T 'y Ty creek, near town, j
were washed up. The only bridge on Little i
river, on the road into Irwin county, was
entirely swept out of its original position.
The damage to the puolic roads was severe,
they are practically impassible. And still j
the rains continue. It seems as though j
there has been enough to greatly damage
the cotton, but still that wnich is offered
for sale does not show material damage.
It sold here yesterday at 9 OS. The gins
are all kept busy, and the four regular
buyers in town keep up a lively competi
tion. and take all that is offered at good
prices.
Rev. Smith Davenport delivered an in
teresting lecture at tne Methodist church
to-day at 11 o'clock. His subject was, “The
Creation.”
The Primary iu Delta.
Delta. Ga., Sept. 17.—Saturday’s pri
mary, for the nomination of county offi
cers. resulted as follows: K L. Green, Or-
dinarv and Clerk; W.H.Stewart, Collector;
A. W. Hicks, Receiver; C. A. Greer,
Treasurer; M. B. Gilmore, Sheriff; A. J.
Cheevts, Surveyor, and T. H. Wicker,
Coroner. The race has been exciting
from the beginning. Each office will be
filled by new men except Ordinary and
Clerk, and Sheriff.
It seems that we are doomed to ruin by
excessive rains. It has been raining for
the past three days aud no prospect of a
change to-day. Cotton has been greatly
damaged, and without sunshine it will soon
begin to rot.
A Pig Fire in Paducah.
Cincinnati, Sept. 17 — a dispatch from
Paducah, Kentucky, says that late last
night fire was discovered iu Rikap's sad
dlery establishment- By a delay in the
alarm, and an accident to the water works
the fire department was slow in getting to
work, ana the building was destroyed.
The dames extended to other buildings

cipal losers are Rikap & Co. £70.000; J.
Allard, >40,000; German National Bank,
£25,000; Ellis & Rady, £50,090. The insur
ance will cover one half of tholoss. The
cause of the fire is believed to be incen
diary.
Called Out and Shot. ®
Opelousas, La., Sept. 17.—Yesterday
morning at Ville Platte Prairie, a crowd
of armed men surrounded the houses of
two negroes named Jean Pierre and Sole-
tan d Didare, and after beating them, they
lead them a short distance and riddled
them with buckshot, killing them in
stantly. The killing is supposed to have
been brought about by incendiary lan
guage recently used by these two negroes.
The affair has created intense excitement 1
in the neighborhood where it occurred.
Washington, Sept. 17.—In the Senate
to-day Mr. Mitchell introduced a bill to
reduce letter postage to one cent anoance,
which was laid on the table. He also gave
notice that he would, on Thursday next,
submit some remarks on the motion to re
fer the President’s annual message. Mr.
Sherman offered a resolution directing the
Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire
into, and report at tbe next session of Con
gress, the state of the relations of the
United States with Great Britain and the
Dominion of Canada, with such measures
as are expedient to promote frien Uy com
ru'Tcial and political relations, the com
mittee to have leave to sit during the re
cess of Congress. He asked that the reso
lution bo laid over till to-morrow, aud said
that he would- thee address the Senate
briefly upon it.
Mr.*Hoar offered a resolution which was
adopted, instructing the Committee on
Finance to inquire as to the cotton bag
ging trust, and what legislation would be
necessary to counteract it.
The hour of 1 o’clock having then ar
rived, the Senate proceeded to vote on Mr.
Blair’s motion to reconsider the vote pass
ing the Chinese exclusion bill. Tne mo
tion was rejected; yeas 20, nays 21, so the
i bill remains passed aud now goes to the
President for his approval.
The vote was as follows: Yeas—Messrs.
Bate, Blackburn, Blair, Brown, Call,
; Cockrell, Edmunds, Evarts, George Gor
man, Hampton, Harris, Hoar, Jones of
Arkansas, Morgan, Pasco. Pugh, Sherman,
Wilson of Iowa, and Wilson of Mary
land—20. Nays—Messrs. Allison, Berry,
Chandler, Coke, Dolph, FarweU, Frye,

derson, Mitchell, Payne, Piatt, Plumb,
Spooner, Stewart, Stockbridge, Teller,
Vest and Walthall—21.
The House amendments to the Senate
j bill concerning the details of officers of
the army and navy to educational institu
tions were concurred in, and the bill now
goes to the President.
The House bill to enlarge the power and
duties of the Department of Agriculture
and to create an Executive Department
to be known as the Department of Agri
culture, was taken up, the question be
ing on the amendment, striking out sec-
; tion five, which transfers the weather bu-
; reau of the signal service to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. In the course of de-
1 bate the following Senators participated:
Butler, Palmer, Call, Dawes and Plumb.
The latter described the competition
which American agriculture met and
would continue to meet in the markets of
the world, from South America, Australia,
India and Africa, and declared his belief
that unless the existing conditions were
: changed, and markedly, India wheat
would sell in New York markets within
five years, the duty paid, iu competition
with American wheat. It was therefore
desirable that the President should have
! in his Cabinet a man who represented
j the great agricultural interest of the conn-
| try, and it was necessary to diversify
agriculture, and to look more and more to
; the home market, rather than to the
foreign market. In this connection, he
; favored the encouragement of the produc
tion of sugar from sorghum and beets.
The discussion was further continued by
Senators George, Blair, Vest, Butler and
Dawes. Without action the bill waa laid
aside till to-morrow, Sud the Senate, at
5:10, adjourned.
In the House.
On motion of Mr. McMillan, of Tennes
see, this morning, Mr. Cox, of New York,
was elected Speaker pro tom of the House,
to act during the absence of Mr. Carlisle.
As Mr. Cox took the chair he waa greeted
with warm and continued applause by the
members on both sides of the House.
Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, introduced a bill
to prohibit the deposit of public money in
the national banks, or other banks, except
for a convenient disbursement of public
funds. Referred.
Mr. Dingier, of Maine, offered a resolu
tion catling on the President for informa
tion as to whether the rights of American
fisherman have been violated by the Cana
dian authorities within the past
year, and if so, whether he
has retaliated as he has authority under
the act of March 3, 1SS7. Referred.
Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri, offered a resolu
tion assigning a day for the consideration
of labor legislation. Under tho rule* this
resolution would go to the Committee on
Rules, but Mr. O’Neill moved Its reference
to the Committee on Labor. Tae vote re
sulted 54 to 37 in favor of Mr. O’Neill’s
motion, but Mr Blount, of Georgia, made
a point of no quorum. Tbereupon Mr.
Forney, of Alabama, interrupted the pro
ceedings by calling up the conference re
port on the sundry civil appropriation
bills, but at the request of Mr. Kelly, of
Pennsylvania,he yielded to that gentleman
to offer a resolution broadening tne scope of
the investigation now in progress as to the
new library building so as to direct the
special committee to inquire whether any
member of Congress has sougat Oy undue
influence to induce the acceptance by the
architect of any material,and whether any
member has endeavored to cause the re
moval of Architect Smithmeyer from
hiposition, or to deprive him of any of
his powers or duties for the reason that
Mr Smithmeyer had refused to act as re
quested by such member.
Mr. Kelly accepted an amendment of
fered by Mr. Springer, of Illinois, direct
ing the committee to report its conclu
sions within two weeks. The resolution
was then adopted. Mr. Forney then came
forward with his conference report, but
Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri, raised the point
of order that even such a privileged report
could not be presented when the House
was deciding on his motion to refer the
labor resolution to the Committee on
Labor, and his point of order having been
sustained, the tellers resumed their places, i
For more than an hour the tellers, Mr. I
Oates, of Alabama, and Mr. O'Neill, stood |
at their posts patiently awaiting the ap
pearance of a quorum* but their patience
was not rewarded. Various propositions
were submitted for the purpose of break
ing the dead-lock, in which the House
had found itself, but there was an ob
jection to each proposition. A motion to ,
adjourn was submitted and voted
down—yeas 37, nays 92.
Mr. O'Neill then asked unanimous con- i
sent to have the labor bills made a spe
cial order for Wednesday week, immedi
ately after the reading of the joirnal,with
a night session to be hel d if necessary. To
this there was objection, and the House at
2:55 adjourned.

He touched upon the management of
the Postoffice Department, which, he said,
had never been more ably nor economi
cally administered than under the present
Postmaster-General and his immediate
predecessor. He described the wonderful
growth ofthe pension list, which now ab
sorbs 31 per cent of the national expenses.
He sketched the policy, and then entered
upon an elaborate discussion of the tariff
; question, in the course of which he said:
i “But the laborer is told that free trade
will reduce his wages. Do not be misled,
I pray you. It is your battle we are fight
ing. We do not and never have advoca
ted free trade. Let me state explicitly
tne creed of the Democratic party.
The expense of the Goverament* must
continue to be met by tariff duties, and by
internal revenue taxes upon tobacco and
spirituous liquors, but inasmuch as the
i taxes now paid are £10,000,000 per month
I in excess of the needs of the Govern-
! ment they must be reduced. We propose
■ that tbe internal revenue taxes remain as
they now are, and that tho tariff taxes be
i reduced in an average rate of 7 per cent,
i and you are told that this is free trade. In
other words, cheapening the people's nec
essaries of life by saving £10,000,000 a
month to the pocket of the tax payer, and
thus checking the unnecessary accumula
tion in the treasury is by the protectionist
denounced as free trade.
“Need I argue to you that it is a curse
rather than a blessing to be unnecessarily
taxed? Who receives the benefit of high
tariff? Does the laborer? Not at all. It
increases to him the cost of food and shel
ter and clothing. Does the manufacturers
increase your wages when the tariff is in
creased? No such case can be found. He
is the sole beneficiary of the high tariff.
Millionai es are now numbered by the thou
sands when but a few years ago you 6ouid
count them on the fingers of your hand.”
General Stevenson in conclusion paid a
high compliment to President Cleveland,
and said: “This man we again present
for your suffrages, firmly persuaded that
the verdict of the people will be ‘well done
thou good and faitnful servant.’ ”
Wildwood Calling on Nashville.
Nashville, Sept. 17.—An important
conference of the health officers of South

and the attending physician has telegraph
ed Mayor Nicklen, of Cnattanooga, for a
physician to examine the case. Mayor
Nicklen would have nothing; to do with
it. The people here are excited and con
demn the Chattanooga officials in strong
terms for thrusting refugees from infected
districts on a small village, and then re
fusing to send a physician when a case of
yellow fever developed. Excitement is
very high, aud threats of violence are
freely made if it is not stopped at once.
Can you do anything for us in the way of
suggesting a course to pursue? Answer
quick.

Prof. Proctor’s Hody Examined.
New York, Sept. 17.—The result of the
autopsy on the body of Professor Proctor
was forwarded to the Health Board to
day. It stated that decomposition was so
far advanced that It was impossible to ar
rive at a definite conclusion as to the cause
of his death. The organs present no evi
dence whatever of pernicious remittent
fever, or other form of malarial disease
such as, even in the condition of decom
position presented by the body, would or
dinarily be apparent. The kidneys showed
an appearance of old, though not advanced
disease. The doctors were only aDle to
sav that there was no other evident cause
of his death, and nothing that could be
incompatible with a death from yellow
fever. '
Died From Exhaustion and Exposure.
Chattahoochee, Sept. 17.—The case of
Wilson, reported as having died from yel
low fever at Wildwood, is only one of the
the many rumors prevailing in the South
as to the existence of tbe scourage. The
matter has been thoroughly investigated.
Wilson had been sick at Decatur $or three
weeks, and becoming alarmed at the ru
mors of yellow fever there, attempted to
reach Chattanooga whiie in a weak
and exhausted condition He was
put off the train at two
quarantine stations and at the last
one had to remain out of doors all night,
and next morning walked over five miles
to Wildwood, where he had a brother-in-
law. He was completely exhausted had
had nothing to eat for nearty two days,
and died of exhaustion and from the ef
fects of exposure. Quarantine is estab
lished at many towns, there being from
three to four stations on every road lead-
idg to this city. There was not a sem

of Warrior, stating that 200 armed negroes
had gathered in the woods near there and
he expected trouble, and he asked
the sherifK to come to his
assistanpe with a force of deputies.
It is said that the negroes propose
to avenge the arrest of several of their
companions for an assault on Marshal
Kelley some time ago. Sheriff Smith is
holding a force in readiness, and has asked
for full particulars, but nothing more has
been heard so far.
THE CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA.
Republicans Putting; Up Their llest and the
Democrats Going One Better.
Indianapolis, Sept. 17.—Ex-Secretarv
Litchman, of the Knights of Labor, leu
this morning to begin his canvass of the
State. E. Coles Robinson, John J. Jarrett,
A. L. Raukin and other organized labor
j orators take the stump to-morrow in ad
vocacy of the Republican ticket. Anna
Dickinson will make her opening addreas
at Richmond, Ind., on the night of
September 21. She speaks at In
dianapolis Saturday night next. This
activity on the part of the Republican
managers is equaled in every particular by
tbe Democratic managers. Just at this
i uncture they may not have as many well-
mown outside speakers in the field, but
their local orators are believed to out
number the Republicans.
The great campaign in Indiana may be
said to be iu full sway. The line of battle
extends from the borders of Lake
Michigan to the Southernmost hamlet
in Percy county, and it is estimated that
over two thousand speeches are being de
livered every night now throughout the
State. Reports indicate that Senator
Voorhees is addressing larger audiences
than ever before greeted him. He speaks
to-night at Lebanon. Congressman
Roger Q. Mills, on his way
to Texas, will make five speeches
in Indiana, opening at Richmond Thurs
day afternoon; at Indianapolis the next
night; Brazeil on Saturday afternoon; Terra
Haute at night; Vincennes tbe afternoon
of the 24th, and St. Louis on tbe 24th.
charges made against certain member* of
the House of Commons aud other persons
in connection with the O’Don-
noll-Times action. The commission
held that the inquiry should bo res: rioted
to charges that were made the cause of
that action. Parliament gave them in ad
dition to their special powers all power*
vested in judges of the high courts of jus
tice. He proponed in the first instance to
make the inquiry as though it were an
issue between O’Donnel aud the Times,
reserving to themselves the power
to oall anybody who might bo able
to throw light on the issues there in
volved. The inquiry would be carried
or in accordance with the rules of ordi
nary courts. Before proceeding. Judge
Hannen asked Sir Charles Russell for
whom he appeared. Sir Charles replied
that he represented eighty-four Irish mem
bers of Parliament. Mr. Graham said he
was retained with Attorney-General Web
ster, for the Times. Sir Charles Russell
demanded that he be allowed to inspect
the letters and photographs bearing on
the case, and that the commission issue an
order for the discovery of tbe document*
upon tho authority of which some of tho
limes charges were made. He asked that
the commission be appointed to take evi
dence in the United State*, and that an or
der be issued releasing Mr. Dillon from
jail, so that ho could give testimony before
the commission. He wanted especially to
see the Eian Harris letter, which he
claimed was a forgery. The counsel for
the Times agreed to produce certain let
ters, but objected to the commission is
suing an order for the discovering of the
documents.
PARNELL ENTERS THE HALL.
Mr. Parnell entered Mie court room while
the discussion concerning the production
of the letters was proceeding.
The commission again retired to delib
erate. Upon resuming the sitting, Judge
Hannen said that the commission having
considered the question as to whether it
was empowered to order the discovery of
the documents, It was the opinion that It
had power to direct such a discovery. The
commission would take upon itself the
right to consider what documents it would
be right for Sir Charles Russell’s clients to
inspect. The court thought that tho de
tails against the persons wnom the Times
accused ought to be given. The court had
determined to enter thoroughly into the
inquiry aud follow it out to tne end.
WANTED WITNESSES.
Mr. Russell made an application for tbe
release ot Mr. Dillon on bail in order that
he might appear before the commission.
Mr. Graham, for terms, made no objection
to the granting of the application. He
said that two persons, now iu uenal servi

murder, would also have to be brought

THE PARNELLITES SCORE ANOTHER.
Tne Parnellites again scored by getting
the court to instruct the Times to formu
late the definite charges it is urepared to
; prove, as well as allegations falling short
I of definite charges. The decision relating
to the discovery of documents, combined
with the court’s expression of its determ i na-
1 tion to make a thorough Inquiry into the
whole matter, tends in favor of the
j Times.
The first result of tbe decision was Mr.
Graham’s getting the p iwer of access to
the bank-books of the league, involving
j the right to inspect the accounts and
j minutes ot both Land and National
! Leagues. The courts declared that tbe
widest scope will be given to the enquiry.

tention. The question of the appointment

ably the suggestion of Mr.
Graham that Mr. Egan come
