Atlanta, Oct. 10.—Tbe Young Men’s
Library, one of Atlanta’s chief attractions,
was bad'y damaged by fire last night. Th«j
alarm watt sounded about mionight, and
the department quickly responded to its
call, but the flames had made considerable
progress before they broke into view.
Their efforts, however, managed to save
the building from total destruction, and
much of its valuable contents from
damage.
The fire originated under the roof, it is
suppose 1, f rom rats and matches or a de
fective flue. The loss is estimated at about
|4000 or $5000. It is all covered by insur
ance, and wiii be quickly repaired. One
of the members of the Hook and Ladder
Company was badly hurt by a piece of fall
ing slate. „ _ _
Hon. Robert L. Berner, of Forsyth,
Chairman of the Mate Democratic Execu
tive Committee, was in the city to day
mingling with the politicians at the Capi
tol, and discussing the ohances of the Dem
ocratic success in November. He is anx
ious that Georgia shall do her full part in
that election, and is doing everything in
his pow er to encourage a full vote. Georgia
in, of course, anything but a doubtful
Bute, and the people need vigorous stir
ring to bring them out on a National
election.
Chairman Berner has vigorous views on
this line, and furtherance of them he is in
communication with the chairman of
Executive Qimrnittees in every county iu
the Htate urging them to bring out the
Democratic vote. He wants interest
actively the committeeman in every militia
district. Col. Berner said to your corres
pondent this morning: “I want that ban
ner back from Texas. Georgia ought to
have it, and if the Democrats will only
take enough interest in the election to vote
she will get it. I believe the vote in No
vember will warrant a demand on Texas
for its return.”
Besides the Htate cash in the treasury
which sometimes runs very high, there is
deposited in Htate and Government bonds
by foreign insurance companies, in accor
dance with the law for the protection of
policy holders in this Htate. In taking
stock of the contents of tbe great vault

Chicago, Oct. 10.—The striking North
Hide car men bad a secret meeting last
night. Tbe committee which conferred
wi h President Yorkes reported and its
•action was approved. It was resolved to
invite no further conference with Mr.
Yorkes. After the secret session there
was a public meeting. Tbe Chicago Sea- ,
men’s Benevolent Union adopted resolu
tions expressing sympathy with the
strikers and offering aid. Some of the
men who came from Philadelphia and
have since gone over to tbe strikers, claim
that the situation was misrepresented to
them; that they understood they were
to be employed on anew cable line, and
not that they were. to take the strikers’
places. They profess to have left good
places in Philadelphia, and express them
selves as very angry ai the treatment they
have received from the company.
The Knights of Labor Council, in which
are represented ail the Knights oi Labor in
Cook county, at a meeting last evening
adopted a resolution endorsing tbe action
of the striking street car men and promis
ing them their moral and financial sup
port. The officers were instructed to in
form the General Executive Board at
Philadelphia of tbe trouble in the assem
bly, composed of the North Hide men,
and the Executive Board of the
council was authorized to investigate the
facts and report them. Tne discussion
preceding the adoption of this resolution.
| covered the entire case from the time
when, about tnree months ago, the matter
was first brought before the council.
Although the council is, in its majority,
compos* d of the most conservative among
the Knights of Latter, the only fault they
had to find with the officers of the Car- 1
men’s Assembly, was that they did not
strike a week ago, instead of giving three
days of grace.
The strike in the other North and West
divisions show no signs of a speedy settle

Washington, Oct. 10.—October returns

heavy rains in the latter part of August
have been continued during a larger part
of last month, causing the spreading of
seed in the bolls and the rotting and shed

rains and winds have interferred with the
picking, and have discolored the fibre and
reduced the grade. Recently tbe weather

A St. Loots Crank’* Revenge.
St. Lovis, Oct. 10.—Henry Weigel, a
crank whose mania was rendered acute by
disastrous litigation, caused a sensation at
Broadway and Chestnut streets this mom
ma by a*saulting Circuit Judge Goorge W.
Lubke with a pail of extremely decom
posed eggs. The Judge, accompanied by
Attorneys Drabelle and Otto, was on his
way to court when Weigel waylaid him
and pelted the eggs at him by the handful
at very short range. The first handful
took the Judge in the back of the head, a
couple carroming off and striking the two
lawyers. When the two faced around
Weigel let go his second installment,
which almost blinded the Judge. Then
Otto captured him aud turned hitu over to
a policeman. The prisoner anticipated ar
rest aud had a long statement prepared,
the gist of which was that he believed tbe
Judge responsible for a damage verdict re-
ceutly found against him by a jury in the
Circuit Court.
Consal-Gt-nt-ral at Melkourn.
Washington, OoL 10.—The Senate has
confirmed tbe nomination of James P.
Leeesne, of South Carolina, to be Consul-
General at Melbouru. .
in which he was ridiDg. He fired a re
volver over their heads and frightened
them away, aud was compelled to defend
himself a second and third time in the
1 same manner. A serious riot occurred at j
the same place later in the atternoon, ;
when a car was pulled out of the Wes- j
j tern avenue barn guarded by a half-dozen I
1 policemen.
The car and driver was pelted with
stones. Police Captain Aldrich had his
scalp cut open. The police caught one
striker in the act of throwing a stone.
The man wss arrested, but in less tharf a
minute a hundred strikers had piled on
the policemen and rescued the prisoner.
The car then proceeded, the mob followed
throwing stones, •}
At Leavett street the mob rushed out to
the street and boarded the car, attempting
to drag the driver trom his position. A
patrol wagon load of police roJe both in
front and behind the car. They dis
mounted and charged on the crowd. Thi3
time more than a dozen strikers held their
own, and threw stones at the blue coats.
One man struck Lieut. Shea, and that offi
cer followed his man through the crowd.
He pulled his revolver while running and
took deliberate aim and tired, but the bul
let missed and the strikers scattered in
every direction.
From that time on there was not any
missiles thrown. The car advanced to the
south side and returned without further
attack. Everywhere that the attempt was
made to run cars the tracks were obstruct-
{ ed with every- conceivable thing. Planks
i were laid across the tracks and spiked at
each end; pacing blocks v building material
and earth from cellar excavations were pil-
i ed on it. Many rails were torn up and laid
across the track and bonfires were built
i between the rails. There is no cessation
i of these demonstrations.
House of Representatives.
In the House, Mr. Dougherty, of Florida,
rising to a question of privilege, declared
that he wished to have the journal correct
ed so as to show that the Senate bill pro
viding for the electoral count passed the
House yesterday without a quorum. He
said that the chair, Mr. Stone, of Ken
tucky, had not recognized him, Mr.
Dougherty, when he rose to make
tbe point of no quorum, either be
cause he did not hear him, or refused to
hear him. and he did not wish the prece
dent established that by a quick decision
of the chair a member could be deprived
of his rights. The speaker promised to
have the record examined in relation tg
the subject.
In the morning hour Mr. Peel of Arkan
sas, representing the Committee on Indian
Affairs, which was entitled to the floor,
asked if the objections made yesterday to
the bill to settle the claims of the old set
tler baud of Indians, would be withdrawn.
Mr. E. B. Taylor of Ohio, replied that they
would not, there could be no more legisla
tion in this hour.
Mr. Burnes of Missouri, in view of the
fact that Mr. Dougherty had stated yester
day he had raised the point of no quorum
on the bill relating to the presidential
count, asked the unanimous consent to set
aside the vote by which the bouse tabled
the motion to reconsider the vote j
by which it was passed. Mr. j
E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, in view of the im- ;
portance of the bill, objected, but subse- j
quently withdrew his objection on repre- I
sentation made by Burnes that such a
course would facilitate the adoption of the I
conference report on the deficiency-bill.
Mr. Stone, of Kentucky, who wis in the
Chair yesterday when the bill was passed,
stated that, notwithstanding what the jour-
wheat is 12 bushels per acre, and for spring
wheat slightly over 10 bushels. The former
ha* yielded better than the early. The ex
pectation of the latter is much more. This
i«, of course, in measured bushels. The
quality is much below the average, which
will still further reduce the supply, as will
be shown more exactly hereafter from the
testimony of inspection and millers’
weigh s.
The winter wheat averages of the States
of considerable production are: New York
14.1, Pennsylvania 13.0, Maryland 14.5, Vir
ginia 8.9, Texas 11.2, Tennessee 9.2, Ken
tucky 11.2, Ohio 11.2, Michigan 14.5. Indiana
11 3, Illinois 13, Missouri 12 6, Kansas 14.7,
California 12 7, Oregon 16 3.

Nebraska 10.8, California 17.5, Dakota 9 2,
Montana 16 5, Washington 18 5, Utah 16.3.
The spring wheat of the New England
States ranges from fourteen to sixteen
bushels.
NO FOL KS NEED APPLY.
The Treasurer Accepts But a Small Niiua.
ber of Bonds Offered—Confusion.
Washington, Oct. 10.—The bond offer- i
ins to-day aggregated |9,767.7C 1. of which ;
84,319,500 were accepted, all 4i’s, at 1.081. !
No tenders of 4’s were accepu i. They !
ranged from 1.29 to 1.29$.
All the 4s were rejected, notwitbstand-1
ing the fact that more thin nine tenths of ;
them were offered at 129, the rate at j
which about ? 100,000 of 4s were accepted
yesterday. There is considerable comment
over this apparent change in the policy of j
the department, and many theories are ad- i
vance'd to account for it. The most plaus
ible one, according to the Treasury offic- !
ials, is that other things being equal, the
department prefers to apply the surplus to
the redemption of the loan which matures
iuside of three years, rather than exhaust
it in the purchase of bonds, which have so
much longer to remain
this country, for an article of universal use
among the families of the land. [Cheers.]
Nor was Mr. Cleveland’s silence the
only boom which the sugar trust received.
When the Mills bill was under considers-
tiod the president of the sugar trust, Mr.
Havemeyer, a well-known native Demo
crat of New York appeared before the
Ways and Means Committee and accord
ing to a statement made in the open Sen
ate by Mr. Allison, of Iowa, obtained such
an arrangement of the duty as was eauiva-
lent to |6,000,000 iu the pockets oi the
trust.
If, therefore, the price of sugar has been
unduly advanced to the consumers the re
sponsible parties, according to the Presi
dent’s doctrine, are the President himself
and the Ways and Means Committee,iwho
concocted the bill in the interest of the
trust.
1 think, moreover, that wherever you
find one of the necessaries of life cornered
and controlled by an association for the
purpose of reaping an undue profit, you
will find the supporters of Mr. Cleveland
at the head of the movement.
Sugar may, indeed, be accounted a luxu
ry, for we can exist without it; but salt is
one of the primal necessities of life. We
all know that a salt trust exists in this
country, °nd the mau who is now at the
head of it. openly and avowedly conduct
ing its affairs, is Wellington R. Burt, the

Mr. Burt is earnestly advocating the re
moval of all duties upon salt. This would
seem another form of contradiction of the
President’e theory, that protection is the
first cause of all trusts, and it likewise
fully justifies the ground taken during this
canvass that trusts exist more freely in a
free trade country than in a protective
country—more freely in England than In
the United States.
Iam fortunately able to give you a piece
of information that has a strong bearing,
I think, on Wellington R. Burts’ salt
trust. I hold iu my hand a copy of the
London Times of September 5, from which
I lesrn that they are forming a salt trust in
England. The statement iu the Times is
quoted from the English papers locally in- : witnessed the accident, and when they

Dr. Hutton wired to-day as follows: F.
O. Saltmasb, of Pensacola, Fla., telegraphs
that the authorities of Mississippi and
Louisiana will not allow nurses from Camp
Perry to enter these State*. These nurses
have been in Camp Perry lrom seventeen ,
to twenty-four days each. There is abso- 1
luteiy no infection in the camp, nor has
there been. The question that now con- j
fronts us is whether Mississippi and L>u- ,
isianaor the United States are supreme in |
the matter. Please advise me. Meantime
I shall hold the nures.
Dr. Hamilton sent the following reply:
“Allow lhe nurses to depart and go as far
as they will be allowed. While the regu
lation forbidding their entry to New Or
leans, in my judgment^ is entirely unwar
ranted by any state of the facts, the Gov
ernment cannot override local regulations
under the present laws, but no community
can foroe the Government to retain per
sons in quasi confinement beyond the
period the general judgment of sanita
rians have agreed on as safe and proper.”
The nurses in question are residents of
New Orleans, who volunteered to Jack
sonville under the auspices of the Retj
Cross Association and are desirous to re
turn home.

vote stood 40 to S, and Mr. Dougherty
raised the point of no quorum.
Mr. Dougherty asked where the bill in
fact was. The Speaker stated that it had
been returned to the Senate. Mr. Burnes
then asked consent to offer a resolu
tion requesting the Senate to re
turn the bill to the House. Mr.
Raker, of New York, objected to Mr.
Burnes request. Subsequently Mr. Baker
withdrew his objection, but .it_ was re
newed by Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
who regarded tbe Presidential count bill
as far more important than the deficiency
bill.
Mr. Burnes then called up the confer
ence report on the deficiency bill, and
after some time spent in persuasive en
deavors, Mr. Burnes was successful in in
ducing Mr. Dougherty to withdraw his
opposition and the report was agreed to.
This disposes of the last of the general
aporoDriation bills. The House tben, at

lean to the desire to secure bonds the

Thompson declined to say anything for .
publication in regard to his rejection of

bought .*15,000,000 in bonds during the
last three days, and regarded that as
doing very well.
At the close of business yesterday it was
found that tbe total deposit of lawful
money for the reduction of the National
bank circulation since September 30, ag
gregated 82,808,750. As the act of 1882 Dro-
vides that not more than 83,000,000 of law
ful money shall be deposited in any one
month for the reduction of toe circulation
and the withdrawal of the bonds. The
balance receivable during the remainder
of this month was, at the beginning of
business this morning, oniy *191,250.
These large deposits are connected with
the purease of bonds by the government,
and as the magnitude of the offerings yes
terday indicated that there would be
probably to-day further deposits tendered,
the comptroller of the currency appointed ’
a committee to receive registered mail

Assistant Treasuries to receive no more de

Let me ask now if any man in Indiana
believes that Mr. Wellington R Burt’s
salt trust in the United States, and this
great salt trust in England are likely to
prove rivals to each otuer.
Well, gentlemen, these are not the only
two Democratic trusts. We have now
spoken of one necessary luxury aud one
absolute necessity. But there is another
trust of more wide-spread political influ
ence than they have in botn of them. I
refer to the w hisky trust, which has abso
lutely changed the politics and policy of
the Democratic party.

inary.

First, th t partisan changes have bee|
made in the federal offices In a wholesal

of the changes.
Second, that the federal official
throughout the cHiMiry. contrary to tid
directions of the President, as found in bj
letter of July 14. 1886, have freely
openly participate i in political conve:
tions amt primary election timvemonH
using their official influence. In Pern
sylvauiathe entire machinery of the Fe4
erai service was put in operation for t
purDose of controlling the Democratic 1
gamzasion in the Htate iu the interest

friends of Randall. The State convention
were dominated and controlled by Feder^
officials, and the chairmanship of
State Committee was secured by
office* bestowed by the administratic
upon tho mem >ers c.f the committee will
changed their allegiance from Uandatl J
the President.
Iu no case doe* the committee find tbs
any federal officer has been disciplined ft
such interference in politics, but, ou tl
other hand, such interference has be
repeatedly recognized and ywirM Thj
interference,in some eases, notable, that |
biughamptoo, of New York, was mos
offensive to the people, ami it am mutt j
to a conspiracy to thwart and deteat tl*
popular will.
The system of levying tolls ami assesJ
incuts upon federal office-holders fo
political purposes continued without id
terruplion since the administration cainj
into place. The committee is persuader
that at present, throughout the country
office-holders are being generally assessor
and called upon to contribute from thelj
salaries to swell the campaign funds
the Democratic party.
While these assessments, so generall]
made and responded to, are in violation
the repeated declarations of the Preaider
and of the fundamental principles of civJ
service reform, the committee hardly feel
warranted in making a severe animudvei
tion upon tho conduct of these MbfiM
nates for violating the policy aimouncef
by the President, in view of the tact
that policy has been departed from
grossly violated by the President and met
bers of his Cabinet in their alleged
uncontradicted subscription of a larji
sum to the Democratic National Comtnll
tee. It is not to be expected that subordl
nates will feel justified in considering i|
sincere tho declarations of a policy w bicl
are so palpably repudiate i hv their authol
and the fact that tho President of the Uni

he has so great personal inter*.s|
and has not only invited but command*'
contributions of as much a* one-fifth

While perhaps not strictly the functiol
of the committee, it may not lie irapropi
for it to commend the consideration i
the legal adviser of the President as

as made, were not in dire ct violation of tt
following provisions of the law the prl
visions of law art; here cited', all ot th*
