Small'* Chance* Poor.
Atlanta, Oct. 2.—Congressman Blount j
w as in the city a few hours this morning,
on hL* way to Macon.
Your correspondent met Mr. Blount
during the morning, and in the course of
trie conversation, asked what the feeling
was among the Democrats in Washington
<,\er the pr<jspect. Mr. Blount staled that
there is no apprehension among those
who are posted as to the situation concern
ing the probable result of the election.
I lie feeling is general among the Demo
crats that, the party will win a great vic
tory in November, and when Mr. Blount |
jrft Washington, there was no reason any-
,Th< p to doubt the Democratic success.
In a recent conversation with Mr.
Dickinson, who is intimate with the
President and well informed as to the
campaign, that gentleman was sanguine
mid txDressed a confidence that the elec- j
toral vote of Michigan would be cast for
Mr. Cleveland. j
Mr. B.ount's own views coincide with
I|,ooi Mr. Dickinson, and he lias the ut-
most faith that the Democratic ticket will j
meet with success.
I tie Democratic managers are not much
•riven to talking, and so there Ls very little ;
definite information to be bad as to the 1
m lie movement of the campaign. They!
k< ep their own counsel, which is the part
of wisdom.
he STANDS a “ SMALL” CHANCE.
Various estimates are made to-day j
touching the vote Sam Small will poll in
tin Thirty-fifth Senatorial district to
morrow’. These are wide apart, ranging
Lrom a few hundred to as many thousand. !
The best Democratic judges figure that he
will be defeated by a majority of 2000.
The campaign he has made has been a
r< markuole one in some respects. He has
announced in the public prints that he was
not making the campaign as a preacher,
and lie has fully demonstrated that on the j
stump during the past week. During that
Miort period he has made some reckless j
charges against bis opponent, which Mr.
Kice and his friends have publicly denied, i
and challenged the proof, which has not
yet been produced.
In his speech last night Mr. Rice referred,
touchingly, to tine of these charges, that
his father had died in this city deserted,
neglected and in want. The statement
made by Mr. Rice, corroborated by some
of his neighbors, showed the charge to be
without foundation.
A CROSSING ATLANTA CANNOT CROSS.
The Whitehall crossing has again proven
too much for the Atlanta solons. A con
ference with the railroads loaves them
where they were before, and nothing re
mains but further inadequate legislation.
It is suggested that it might be a good idea
for the city to offer a handsome reward for
a practical suggestion that would bring a
satisfactory solution of the trouble.
THE SCHOOL OK TECHNOLOGY.
The Htate School of Technology will
open its doors io the public to-morrow,
and President Hopkins is expecting a
large attendance. The opening ceremony,
which includes an address by the Gov
ernor, promises to be an interesting event.

ginia and Georgia Railroad Companv paid

Notes From Apalachicola.
Xp.aijVchicola, Sept. 26.—The unex
pected announcement last evening of the
death of Mrs. Marler, tho wife of one of
our most esteemed citizens, Dr. W. T. Mar
ler, has saddened the hearts of a large cir
cle of the friends of that estimable lady.
Her funeral took place this afternoon. She
leaves an infant son who was only a few
hum sold when she died. Dr. Marler has
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire com
munity.
This place is enjoying perfect immunity
from the yellow lever scare which seems
to effect so seriously our neighboring
cities. There is no sickness at all here,nor
do we fear any, with the strict quarantine
our Board of Health has against all sus
pected points, though our merchants are
apprehensive that the interruption in rail
road traffic will seriously interfere with
their receiving goods promptly. The
Wise-Morgan Lumber Company will have
their mill ready for sawing in a few days.
We are expecting daily the new steamer
Lotus No. 2” from Mobile, to carry the
mail between here and Chattahoochee.
Mr. J. M. Coombs and his sou Herbert
Coombs, two of our pppular lumbermen,
left last evening on the Amos Hays for
Portland, Me., where the latter gentle
man will be married next mouth.
Messrs. Louis Buhler and J. B. Maxwell,
of Columbus, after spending a few days ;
at Apalachicola, left for home last evening
on the Hays.
A Camp Meeting Near Fortson.
Fortson, Ga., Oct. 1.—The mercury has
reached 85 degrees here for the last two
mornings, and we have had a light fro-M
•aeb morning. Cotton is opening rapidly
and the farmers are losing no time in '
gathering the fleecy staple, and they are
hurrying it eff to market to meet their
indebtedness and to get the benefit of
present prices. Many of our farmers who
have no gius of their own are patronizing
the Eagle ana Phoenix ginnery, hauling it
as far as fifteen miles in the seed.
The negroes are holding a camo meet
ing at Mt. Gilead Methodist church, two
miles south of this place. The dirt road
was filled nearly all day yesterday with
negroes, going and coming from the
meeting, and this morning several trains
were crowded with them.
Tuere were a few white people who at
tended the meeting yesierday. One of
their minsters in his remarks said that
although the colored race were the poor
est people in the world, yet they had
more religion than any other people, for
they could sing louder and shout louder
than aDy other class.
The Chosen of Death.
Paschal. Oct 1.—One of the saddest
deaths that have occurred in some time
at Talbotton, was that of Mrs. Lucia X in-
son. She recently went there from Fort
Gaines, Ga., for her health. She died yes
terday morning at 9 o'clock at the home i
of her brother, Mr. W. P. Watts, and will j
be taken to Fort Gaines to-day for burial.
She was about thirty years of age, and
leaves two 6mall children.
Mr. Wyatt Sealy, another citizen who
was greatly beloved, died last Friday at j
his home near Daviston quite suddenly.
Aged about seventy years.
Senator Beck Sends His Report.
Washington, Oct. 2.—Senator Beck’s
contribution to the minority report on the
tariff bill reached Washington by a mes
senger this morning. Senator Beck is re
ported as improving, but is not yet well
enough to resume his active Senatorial du
ties.
Peru Endorses the Treaty.
Washington, Oct. 2.—The State De
partment has been informed by telegraph
oy Minister Back that the treaty of amity
commerce between this Government and
that of Pern has been ratified by the latter.
He Gives Some Interceding Features of the
Chattahoochee Valley Exposition.
The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday
contains the following:
“We think it will be one of the most
successful, and we know that it will t*. one
of the best, expositions of the year.''
The speaker was Colonel Henry R.
Goetchius, President of the Chattahoochee
Valley Exposition Company, and he was
talking of the Exposition to'which he has
been devoting his time and his labor.
“We have found it necessary, because of
the demoralization of business through
some parts of the Soifth, to postpone the
opening of t he Chattahoochee Exposition
until the 15th of November. Under the
present arrangement we open November
15th and close December 1st. The out
look is most favorable. As you know, oar
Exposition is interstate in its scope, em
bracing Georgia,. Alabama and Florida.
Columbus, as tbe metropolis of South
Georgia, South Alabama and West Florida,
will open her gates to the people of the
world to show them what one of the best
sestions of the South can do. And we will
open their eyes.”
“Have you the hearty support of the
people?”
“Oh, yes. And large subscriptions from
private citizens, and liberal municipal ap
propriations have enabled the manage
ment to prepare magnificent grounds and '
buildings. The tracx for racing is pro
nounced by Kentucky visitors who have
seen and tried it, to be faster than the j
Louisville or Lexington tracks. Racing
will be a special feature of the Exposition, j
We will give twelve days ot it, with
purses aggregating $5000.
“One of the most interesting features to
the people all through the Siuth will be
the Confederate Veterans’ reunion to be
held on November 16 and 17, tbe second
and third days of the Exposition. It is
proposed to invite all associations of vet
erans to meet tb' re and organize a gen
eral association of Confederate veterans.
The proposition to do this comes from the
Havannah association. Columbus sent
more men to the front proportionately
than any other Southern city; the last
battle of the War was fought there; we in
augurated Memorial day; and while taking
on the new has not forgotten the old. It
is undoubtedly a fit place for such a re
union, and many eminent Confederate
commanders have signified an intention
to be present.”
“It is not easy to measure the good to
be accomplished by these Expositions,”
continued Colonel Goetchius. “ They stand
as an evidence of tbe progress of our coun
try.” Those ot former years and those at
Rome, Augusta and Columbus this year
show that Georgia is in the line of progress
and taking a new life and vigor each year.
“By the way, a committee of fifteen
^iterans at Columbus with Rev. R. H.
Harris, the pastor of the First Baptist
church at Columbus, anil a most gallant
Confederate veteran at its head, has charge
of the reunion feature of the Exposition,
assisted by G. Gun by Jordan, G. M. Wil
liams and J. M. Fletcher, all ex-Confeder-
ates. T^tis feature and the whole Exposi
tion will be of great interest to the whole
South.”
EXPOSITION NOTES.
At Headquarters Yesterday-Oaring Bal
loon Feat—The Directors Meet.
Business was being pushed with a vim
at the Exposition headquarters yesterday,
and Secretary Gordon and his staff of
clerks have their hands full re-arranging
matters for the now dates. Letters of ap
proval and newspaper commendations re
garding the change in the dates are con
stantly pouring in. A letter was received
yesterday from Hon. T. W. Grimes to the
effect that Speaker Carlisle is much
pleased at the postponement, and that
there is now no doubt but that he will be
in Columbus on November 15 to open the
Exposition.
Congressman Grimes has done very
valuable servicas in Washington for the
Exposition. He has not only secured per
mission from the Seoretary-nf-War for the
absence from Washington of the judges of
the iuter-State drill, but he has also se
cured an extension of their leave
of absence. The judges will be here
on November 20 the opening day of the
drill.
Prof. Harry Warner, of New Orleans,
who has made a contract with the Expo
sition Company to make three balloon as
censions and three leaps with the para
chute from a height of 3000 feet, has re
cently made a most daring leap at Mobile.
The Mobile Register describes the feat as
follows:
“Mr. Harry Warner, the aeronaut, made
a successful balloon ascension and para
chute drop yesterday afternoon at Fras
cati. The mammoth balloon was inflated
with hot air and the ascension took place
ip tbe base ball park in the presence of a
large crowd of interested spectators.
When the word was given thebalioon shot
up into the air, and for two thousand feet
of its ascent it was borne in tho direction
of the city by a southwesterly current.
When the height of three thousand feet
was reached a northwesterly current of
air was encountered, which caused the
balloon to drift slowly toward the bay.
“From this height the aeronaut dropped
from the balloon with his parachute. For
some two hundred feet he dropped like a
shot. The parachute did not work prop
erly and failed to catch the air, so that the
descent was very rapid and cranky, and
continued so until A.r. Warner fell with a
crash iuto the TYaters of the bay, about one
hundred yanjs from the shore opposite
Monroe’s. lie escaped with no further hurt
than a badly chafed hand, cut by the
ropes. Mr. Warner says that this was the
most exciting journey be has ever had.
“The aeronaut waded ashore. The bal
loon meanwhile slowly turned bottom up
ward, emitting a cloud of smoke, and came
dowu into the bay, where it was received
and brought to land.”
Tae directors neld their usual weekly
meeting last night. A large amount of
important business was transacted.
A Railroad Octopus.
New York. Oct. 2.—The directors of the
East Tennessee railroad met to-day and
received a proposition from the directors
of the Richmond and Danvilie railroad to
lease the East Teunessee property for a
period of twenty years on a percentage of
earnings.
The directors passed a resolution unani
mously agreeing to the proposition, and
appointed a committee to consult with
tde officers of the Richmond and Danville
and Richmond Terminal Company for the
purpose of drawing up a lease to oe pre
sented for ratification at auother meeting,
to be held Tuesday next.
The declaration of the dividend on the
East Tennessee first preferred, was not
considered.
It is officially slated that the sa ! e of the
Riehmoud Terminal holdings of the E ist
Tennessee first preferred is not included in
the pending arrangements, but that the
Richmond Terminal Company will con
tinue t-c hold that stock.
p ost Office Shattered by Dynamite.
Pittsburg, Oct. 2 —About 9 o’clock Sat
urday night a dynamite bomb was ex
ploded in front of the post office at Shan-
napin, Beaver county, and an hour later
another was put off in the rear of the
same building, shattering windows and
breaking nearly the bottles in aldrug store
adjacent. The perpetrators of the out
rage are not known, but it is supposed
the bombs were intended to blow up a
disreputable house near by. The,Post
master notified the Sheriff of the county
and the authorities at Washington, and ef
forts will be made to find the guilty par
ties.

Washington, Oct. 2.—In the Senate this
morning the resolution offered by Mr. Call,
on September 27. instructing tbe Commit
tee on Contagious Diseases to coosider aDd
report before the adjourn ment of this ses
sion of Congress, additional legislation to ;
prevent the importation of contagions or
infectious diseases from foreign countries
on the coast and boundaries ot the United
States, was taken up and Mr. Call pro
ceeded to speak upon it.
Mr. Pasco offered an amendment, direct
ing the committee to Inquire further into
the introduction ot the yellow fever into
Florida and other States during the pres
ent year. In the course of bis remarks,
Mr. Cali read a letter from Dr. Reed, sug
gesting spirits of ammonia as a method of
cure and prevention, and recommending
that the same action be taken to test that,
i After a discussion by Messrs. Call, Biair,
Pascoe, Chandler, Berry and Morgan, the j
resolution an^l amendment were referred to
the Committee on Epidemic Diseases. Tne
j conference report on the deficiency bill
was then presented by Mr. Hale and ex
plained by him. After discussion the re
port was agreed to, and the Senate insisted
bn its disagreement by the items still in
controversy.
The conference report on the" joint reso
lution in aid of the sufferers from yellow
| fever was presented and agreed to, after
some explanatory remarks by Mr. Ed-
i munds. The House conferees insisted, he
: said, that the House would not agree to
the use of the phrase adopted in the joint
resolution in direct aid of the sufferers on
the ground that it was beyond the consti
tutional authority of C ingress to do a
thing of that kind, as particularly illumin
ated and set forth in tne message from the
President vetoing the bill for a distribu-
! tion of seeds io certain counties in Texas,
aud so in order to accommodate the solic
itude of the House ou that subject the
| conference committee had agreed to a
paraphrase which meant precisely the
same thing. The Senate conferees thought
that they had accomplished that end
! without wounding the constitutional sen-
j sibilities of anybody.
Mr. Jones, of Nevada, offered a resolu-
| tion, which was referred to the Committee ,
! on Tariff Relations, requesting the Presi-
| dent to negotiate with the Government of
I Her Britauic Magesty and with the Re
public of Mexico respecting the exclusion
ofChinese laborers from the North Amer-
I ican continent, and for the prevention of
their entrance into the United States from
the territory of either of such Govern
ments or from the dependencies thereof.
The resolution was reported and adopted
authorizing Mr. Hale’s Committee on
Civil Service Reform to contiuue its ses
sion during the recess.
The Senate, at 4:40, adjourned.

On motion of Mr. Forney, of Alabama, a
bill was passed authorizing the construc
tion of a bridge across the Coosa river, in
Alabama.
Mr. Barnes, of Missouri, presented the
conference report upon the joint resolu
tion in aid of the yellow fever sufferers, as
agreed to in the conference.
The resolution appropriates $100,000 to
be expended under the direction of the
President whenever in his opinion such
expenditure will tend to the eradication of
the epidemic of yellow fever now existing
in the United States, or prevent its spread
from State to State.
Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, raised the point
of order that the resolution was not prop
erly in conference. He had objected to
the consideration of the Senate resolution
because he considered it contrary to the
spirit and letter of the Constitution. The
resolution had goDe to the Committee on
Appropriations, which had reported it
back on the original resolution which was
supposed to be in harmony with the Con
stitution, and that resolution the House
had passed. The point of order was over
ruled. Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, said that
he honed then that the report would be
agreed to. The resolution was intended
not only to aid the people of the stricken
districts, but to protect the whole people
of the country, including the people of the
State of Texas.
Mr. Dougherty, of Florida, expressed
the thanks of the people of Florida for

seem to meet the requirements of the con
tract.
Some of the workmen, through whom
the defective work was first made known,
have stated that there are dozens of such
“caverns” as have already been discovered
scattered all through the tunnel, and that
there are many places, hundreds of feet in
length, where no packing of any kind was
used. These workmen declared their
ability and readiness to point out to any
proper authority the location of the
places.
Acting Secretary of War, Mac Feely,
said to-day, “that in view of the pro
posed investigation by Congress, the war
department, probably, would not take
any farther action "in the' matter until
that investigation was completed and re
ported upon.” He thought that the re
ference of the charges to Maj. Lickder,
engineer officer in charge, with instruc
tions for an investigation, and a report, is
all that is necessary at present.

country, and never equalled in any other.
A SLAP AT THE DEMOCRATS.
The pressing reason given for once again
trying the old experiment of a revenue
tariff without protection as a motive or
end, is that the present tariff has produced
and is producing a surplus in the treasury,
but is it not easily within the wisdom of
Congress to adjust the national income to
the national expenditure without sacri
fices, or even imperilling an industrial
system which has brought untold.advan
tages to the entire country? Admitting
that the present tariff by a lapse of time
and large expansion of trade which it has
stimulated needs revision, is it not wiser
and more patriotic to revise it with regard
to the interest of protection than with the
purpose of lessening the protective fea
tures?
UNWAVERING FRIEND TO PROTECTION.
These are some of the questions which
must be answered at the national polls in
November. For myself, a citizen and can
didate, I do not hesitate to declare that
from long observation, I am an unwaver
ing friend of the protective system. In
my business life, now extending over forty
years, I have witnessed and compared the
effect upon the country of a revenue tariff
tending to free trade, with the protective
tariff, encouraging home industries. Under
the former the development of the coun
try has always been arrested, while under
the latter, it has uniformly been pro
moted-

A Prohibition Law from Way back.
Des Moines, Oct. 2.—Yesterday the
new act regulating the sale of intoxicating
liquors went into effect. The nrovisions
ot the act passed by tbe last Legislature |
required all permits theu in existence to

wholesale dealers and manufacturers
entirely, except such as had permits
under the old law. Judge Given
having failed to act on the application
for pharmacists’ permits before him
last week the drug stores will be outlawed
after to day, and can neither sell liquor for
medicine noruse it in compounding. Judge
Given also, temporarily at least, plugged
the original package loophole in law by
preliminary injunction; consequently there
can be no liquor sold legally in Des
Moines. By this term “liquor,” as inter
preted by the Supreme Court, is meant
everything intoxicating, including apple
cider.

Washington. Oct. 2.—Various alarming
rumors reach Washington now and then
regarding Mr. Randall's condition and his
alleged inability to pay any attention to
current affairs. The rumor does not seem
to be well founded, for Mr. Randall is in
daily communication with Mr. Caurts, the
Clerk of the Committee on Appropria
tions, of which the Ex-Speaker is Chair
man, in regard to current business. The
only thing remarkable about his letters
is that they never contain any allusion
personal to himself. He keeps posted,
however, and ta^es an active interest in
the business of his committee and of Con

A BROAD AND PHILANTHROPIC POLICY.
The Republican platform proposes a dis
tinct American policy, not one of narrow
ness and bigotry, but one broad and phil
anthropic policy, that will best help the
whole world by the example of a great,
growing and powerful nation, founded on
tbe equality of every man before the law.
It is for the American people to develop

A reporter was informed yesterday by
several passengers who arrived in the city
from Troy, by the Mobile and Girard

livery stable at Troy, were the victims of a
dastardly trick on Monday evening. Seme
unknown party entered the stables and
gave doses of strychnine to twelve of the
best horses.
When the trick was discovered most of
the horses jaws were locked, and they
were writhing in agony. A number of
veterinary surgeons were called, but under
tbe circumstances their efforts were ot lit
tle avail. Two of the animals died, and
but little hope was entertained that any of
them would be saved. Great indignation
was expressed by the citizens that such an
outrage should be perpetrated in their
midst, and threats of violence were general
if the offender should be detected.

most nigtily esteemed citizens of Troy,
