COLIMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15 1889.
NOTHING STIRS UP
BUSINESS SO WELL AS
LOW PRICES!
That's the reason we have been so busy during the
usually dull month of July. The month of August
must be equally as prosperous a one, if not better.
To succeed we have put the knife into prices, and
that deep.
Prices Fairly Cut in Two.
One dollar will buy as much at our store as $1.50
elsewhere. Come and see it doesn’t. Several
hundred Straw Hats to be sold regardless of cost.
Twenty-five and 50 cents will
Buy An Elegant Hat.
Two hundred pairs odd Knee Pants forbois, age
four to thirteen. Prices have been reduced to 50,
75 and $1.00. These are closing prices and goods
must go.
200 Odd Pairs Men’s Pants
Come and name a price, we will try and nteet your
figure. We are anxious to reduce our stock and
will make prices to meet the emergency. Call early.
Chancellor & Pearce
DON’T FORGET on September 3. we will open one
of the largest stocks of Men’s Fine Shoes to be found in
Columbus. All new and fresh goods.
RANKIN’S AMENDMENT
TO THE STATE ROAD LEASE BILL j
DEFEATED.
This Settles the Ijuestiou °* Betterments in !
the House—The Fourth Section of the
Bill Adopted—Other Busi
ness Transacted.
Atlanta, August 14.—[Special]—The j
Rankin amendment to the third section of !
the Western and Atlantic lease bill was
defeated to-day by a vote of 44 to S6. This
was the amendment which opened the
gap for betterments, and on a line pro
posed by the lessees. The vote shows the
temper of the house, at least, on that ques
tion, as it may be considered as closing
the discussion for the present. After the |
Rankin amendment was killed nearly all !
of the other amendments offered to the
third section were defeated, one after the
other, by about the same vote.
An amendment offered by Mr. Gamble,
of Jefferson, providing that the present
lessees shall return the personalty in as
good condition as when received by them,
‘•or property of like kind and character
in a lise condition, but of increased ca
pacity,” or upon failure to do so, then to
account for the same in money. The
words of the amendment are those quoted.
This amendment was adopted, and the
clause providing that the new lessees shall
receive the roadbed in its present condi
tion, natural wear and tear excepted, was
amended so es to read “natural and ordi
nary wear and tear.”
The third section was then adopted as
amended.
The fourth section was already adopted
this morning, and the indications are now
that the house will dispose of the lease
biil this week. The friends of the bill in
its present shape are in a large majority,
nearly two to one, and it is safe to say it
will not undergo much amendment.
IX THE SENATE.

COTTON BAGGING.
Resolutions Adopted by the aug
change oil the Subject.
Augusta, Ga., August 14.—At a meeting
of the Augusta exchange to-day to take
action on the subject of cotton bagging,
the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The farmers of the south have
determined to substitute, as far as possible,
cotton bagging for jute, and whereas, the
Southern Manufacturing Association, at
its last meeting in Augusta, gave substan
tial aid to the movement by agreeing to
allow producers the differences in weight
between jute and cotton bagging, thereby
enabling the planter to recover a part, or
the whole of the increased price paid for
cotton bagging, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Augusta exchange
pledge the support of its members to the
organized movement instituted by the
farmers of the south to protect themselves
against the bagging trust, or any similar
combination, and will use in any fair and
proper means the influence of the ex
change to further the objects and put
into practical shape the means by which
planters can get the full benefit of the
movement to substitute bagging made
from cotton or other home product for
jute bagging, and we invite the co-opera
tion of all southern exchanges in giving,
effect to the laudable efforts of southern
producers.
THE LIFE ELIXIR
It is Tried in Birmingham and Atlanta with
Poor Results.
Birmingham, Ala., August 14.—On
Monday night Dr. L. L. Yepscein, recently
of New York, experimented on himself
and a patient named L. D. May with the
Brown Stquard elixir. Both are now
writhing in mortal agony, the pain having
begun several hour3 afterwards and in
creased ever since. Nervousness, a chilly
feeling and symptoms of blood poisoning
make their condition dangerous. The
lamb had been dead one hour and forty-
minutes before the iniection was made.
Other experiments by Dr. Davis, made the
same night, have seemingly worked mar
velously on Alexander Hunter, who had
been id for twelve months with chronic
dysentery.
Atlanta, August 14.—The Brown-Se-
quard life elixir was tried last night on
Colonel Isaac W. Avery, a prominent
journalist, for years editor of the Atlanta
Constitution. Colonel Avery has suffered
from wounds received in the'war, and last
winter was run over by a cab in Washing
ton. He is suffering from partial par
alysis. Dr. E. H. Green tried the remedy
on him, first taking the injection himself.
So far Colonel Avery Uas experienced no
remarkable effects, the only thing notice
able being a stupor iike that resulting
from opiates. Dr. Green has a high fever
and has been sick aL day, but is better to
night.
THE BUILDING COLLAPSED.
A Number of Workmen Buried in the
Ruins—Two Bodies Recovered.
Chicago, August 14.—The Burton build
ing, at the corner of Clinton and Van
buren streets, which was gutted by fire
some weeks ago, collapsed this morning,
burying a number of workmen in the
ruins. “The work of removing the debris
was at once begun, and until it is com
plete the exact number of casualties will
not be known. Joseph Hopp, dead, and
Nick Sever, in a dying condition, have
been so far exhumed.
Shot from Ambush.
Birmingham, Ala., August 14 —At Car
bon Hill, Walker county, to-day Superin
tendent C. P. Seymour, of the Kansas City
Coal and Coke Company mines, was shot
from ambush while riding on horseback.
Some time since he brought several officers
up to stop moonshiners from selling moun
tain dew to the miners. It is supposed the
moonshiners shot him.
Sullivan and Kilrain Indicted.
Purvis. Miss., August 14.—Indictments
have been presented to the court against
Sullivan and Fitzpatrick. It is understood
that Kilrain and the seconds have also
been indicted. The erand jury is still m
session.
IN THE HOUSE.
The heuse this morning adopted a reso
lution to limit speaking on the third sec
tion of the Western and Atlantic lease bill
to 11 o’clock, at which hour it was agreed
that a vote should be had.
Mr. Lawson, of Putnam, spoke against
the Rankin amendment. He said he did
not oppose it because it contemplated bet
terments, but because he did not iike tak
ing the ris- of haviDg to draw over half a
million dollars from the state treasury-.
He suggested that it would be a good way
to arrive at what constituted “wear and
tear” to compare the time the lease had
still to run with the average life of rails
and ties.
He also opposed the amendment because
it proposed to lease or secure no roiling
stock. The road could not be advantage
ously leased on such conditions. He
thought an expert could tell just what con
dition the road would be in in December,
16S0. He thought the terms of the third
section sufficiently definite. He was not
in favor of betterments. He did not be
lieve in trade fixtures. If a conference of
the lessees could not settle their claims,
he was in favor of settling them in the
courts.
Mr. Mathews, of Houston, offered an
amendment to that of Mr. Rankin as fol
lows: “Strike out the last sentence after
the word ‘offer,’ and insert in lieu thereof
‘the road bed in its present condition,
natural wear and tear only excepted, and
the personal property as per inventory of
file in the executive office, or its equiva
lent in kind.’”
Mr. Mathews spoke in support of his
amendment, and Mr. Sneisjn, of Meri
wether, spoke in favor of his.
Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, wanted some
thing like his own amendment.
Mr. McDonald, of Ware, then offered an
amendment pluralizing the word inven
tory in the third section.
A substitute was offered, but withdrawn.
The McDonald amendment was tempo
rarily withdrawn.
j jMr. Snelsoc’s amendment was lost.
| Mr. Rausin’s amendment, as amended
j by Mr. Mathews, was lost
! Mr. Glenn’s amendment as amended by
j Mr. Candler, ofDeKalb, was lost,
j Mr. Holtzelaw’s amendment was lost,
j That of Mr. Gamble, of Jefferson, that
i “the lessees must deliver the property in
{ as good condi:ion as received by them, and
I property of like kind and character and in
i like condi’ion, or of increased capacity,”
| was adopted.
| The amendment of Mr. Candler, of De-
j Kalb, inserting “and ordinary” between
I “natural” and “wear,” was also adopted.
| Mr. Rankin offered another amendment,
j Lost.
| The third section of the bill was then
; adopted as amended.
' The fourth section was read.
I Mr. Mathews, of Houston, moved to
i amend by striking out “at once” and in-
i serting in lieu thereof the words “within
! sixty days,” referring to the lime when
j the deposit of bonds of the state of Geor-
; gia, or af the United States, to the value
; of half a million.
I “Thirty days” was substituted and the
1 amendment carried by a vote of 56 to 44.
I Mr. Rankin, of Gordon, offered to amend
! the section by striking out the words “may
i in hi3 discretion,” and inserting “shall,”
I s ? that the governor would have no discre-
I tion in declaring the lease forfeited if the
! deposit should not be made within tnirty
days.
Mr. Rankin’s amendment was lost
The fourth section, as amended, was
adopted.
The house adjourned without further
action on the bill.
THE ATLANTA POSTOFFICE.
The Constitution Replies to Clarksou and
Says He Lied.
I Atlanta, August 14.—In reply to the
: statement Acting Postmaster-General
Clarkson sent out to the Associated Press
in reference to the appointment of the
negro clerk, Penny, to a position in the
Atlanta postoffice, the Constitution will
say to-morrow in a doable-leaded edito
rial:
That the authorities in Washington are
determined to distrust the facts relative to
j the appointment of the negro Penny to a
! place in the Atlanta postoffice, is clearly
shown by a telegram whicn was printed
! yesterday. Nearly every statement at-
! tributed to Acting Postmaster-General
; Clarkson in that telegram is false on the
face of it, and the telegram may justly be
regarded as a deliberate attempt on the
part of an official, supposed to be close to
the administration, to deceive the public
with reference to an event that has be-
; come notorious.
: Mr. Clarkson"says that the Atlanta post-
j master. Gen. Lewis, appointed Charlie C.
j Penny, who stood at the head of the civil
service list of eligibies. This is false.
When Lewis appointed Penny he was the
lowest on the list of two, and Lewis diii
not discover UDtil afterwards that Sturgis,
the white applicant, was not eligible, for
he appointed him to a clerkship in another
department the next day. Lewis himself
says that he appointed Penny to the posi- j
tion in the registry department because he
would then be less liable to come in con- ;
tact with the public, but Mr. Clarkson
says that Penny “was assigned to work in
the registry division, not in the same room
with the young lady, but in another.” The
impression here sought t-o be left on the j
public mind is false.
Ex-Postmaster Renfroe, who knows a
great deal more about the workings of the
Doetoffice here than Lewis, says that the 1
clerks in the registry department are
necessarily brought into contact and asso- j
ciation. Mr. Clarkson says that “the I
young lady and her father, who was super-!
intendent of the registry division and nad
the assignment of clerks, both resigned
because the negro had been appointed to
a place in the office.” That thi3 is abso
lutely false is shown by Mr. Clarkson him
self, who goes on to say that there were
five negro clerks in the postoffice under a
democratic postmaster.
This attempt at whitewashing, which
emanates from Washington, will not be
successful. The people of Atlanta know
what they are about, and in this progres
sive liberal city public sentiment is never
at fault in matters of this kind. If all that
Mr. Clarkson has said is true, how is it
that Mr. Van Winkle, a republican, re
fuses to remain on General Lewis’ bond?
If the postmaster did not violate the civil
service law, how is it that Judge Henry B.
Tompkins comes off his bood on that very
ground, and shows that the appointment
of the negro was deliberate and inexcusa
ble.
The Constitution assures Mr. Clarksou
that neith-r the administration nor any of j
its servants will be permitted to slander j
and misrepresent Atlanta.
Washington, D. C., August 14.—
The above dispatch from Atlanta was
shown to Acting Postmaster General Clark
sou to-night, and he was asked what he
bad to say in regard to it. He said: “I
have no wish to follow the matter up. I
stated official facts, the literal truth. The
Constitution seems to have beeu the origi
nal and inspiring medium of the whole
sensation, gotten up purely for partisan
reasons, as an appeal against the appoint
ment of colored peoole to office. The facts
are as I stated them. PenDy was drawn
from a list of eligibies. He was put in the
registry division where the white girl’s
father, as superintendent, had the assign
ment of all the clerks. The superintendent
first asked whether he would be kept for
four years. The postmaster told him that
he could not tell him that. He then re
signed. it seems he was willing to work
four years with a colored man, but not a
few months. Tnere has been no trouble
as to Postmaster Lewis’ bond. While one
gentleman may have asked to withdraw
from it, several other good men in Atlanta,
native southerners, men of courage, not
afraid to stand by a man in the right posi
tion, volunteered to go upon the bond,
and made it much better than before. It
is no wonder that, since the story has gone
to the country, there is an attempt on the
part of Atlanta to explain it. The truth
s. Postmaster Lewis 'did nothing more
than was fight, and no amount of misrep
resentation on account of race prejudice
can distort the actual facts into anything
else than the truth. The postmaster, in
stead of trying to put the coion.-d clerk at
the same desk with a white girl, as the
Atlanta papers first printed it aud sent it
north.took him to the superintendent of the
! registry division,who had ihe assignment of
I clerks, and, moreover, was the white girl’s
| father, and the colored man was put in
another room. There was no more justifi
cation in the father and daughter resign
ing than there would have been if they
resigned when the democratic postmaster
had five negro clerks in the same office.
The Constitution admits that there were
only two men on the eligible list. The
vacancy to fill was in the registry division,
for which tm- seh.ro was qualified, 'ihe
I other man was chosen next day for an
other vacancy in the office, and which
vacancy he was more competent to fill.
The spirit of the Constitution and those it
represents, simpiy represents those who
are unwilling to accept the negro as a
citizen, and who are unwilling to let the
colored peopie show their capacity, to
hold clerkships or other government posi
tions.
FIERCE FOREST FIRES.
The Northwestern Country Seems to he
Burning Up—Heavy Loss.
Chicago, August 14.—A special from
Portland, Oregon, says: The atmosphere
for miles around is thick with smoke and
cinders, and burning brands are falling in
showers. All the northwestern country
seems to be burning up in forest fires. The
smoke has been so dense in Portland for
the last two or three weeks that for a time
it was impossible to see far un the street,
and the sun and moon looked like great
balls of fire. In the harbor the smoke has
had the effect of a log, and steamers have
been required to blow their whistles every
few minutes to avoid collisions. It is esti
mated that the total damage by forest fires
in the northwest this year wiil amount to
>500,000.
Several farm houses have been burned
with stables and produce and stores, and
several thousand cords of wood have been
consumed. Y'esterday the flames swooped
down upon the settlement of Cedar Mills
and left the country in ruins. The people
in some instances had to hurry through
the woods, the fire being so thick along
the regular roads. An extensive fire is
raging in southern Oregon. South ol Rose
bud a number of houses have been burned.
! Some of the forest fires are the work of
| tramps. If they are not treated well at
1 any place they start the fires out of re-
! venge. A number were run out of the Me
i Lean settlement, in southern Oregon, the
j other day, and, taking to tne woods.
' started a fire. It was discovered in time
I and extinguished, and a posse of men
: started after the tramp3 and captured
I three. Ropes were put about their necks
; and they were strung up for some time
i and then let down and thrashed soundly.
GEKONI-VIO’S BAND.
The Question of their Kemoval from Near
Mobile Still Unsettled.
Washington, August 14 —The question
i ol the removal of the band of Apaches,
i known asGeronimo’s baud,(although they
j include a number of friendly Indians;
i from their present location at Marion
barracks, near Mobile, Ala., is still unset
| tied and engaging the attention of the
' authorities of the war department. While
: at Boston last week Secretary Proctor met
a large representation of the Indian Rights
Association, which had proposed to buy a
location for the Indians, something in
climatic accord with their own home, if
the government would authorize their
transfer. The authorities were willing to
do this, as had been stated, and looked
with favor upon a portion of the
! Cherokee reservation on the highlands
j lying on the line between North Carolina
and Tennessee, but at Boston the Indian
rights people were nos ready to say that
they would buy that location, or any one,
in fact, and nothing came of the confer
euce.
Secretary Proctor told the association
what the government could,and would, do
toward supporting the Indians at the out
set ofter the change of location, and since
his return he has had the bureau officers
investigating the matter with a view of
determining just what can be done for the
Indians in case they shall be removed. In
the meantime some portable buildings
which they need will be forwarded at
once to Marion barracks for their use.
THUNDER AND WIND STORM.
Feople Terribiy Frightened—A Driver and
His Team KiUed.
Albuquerque, N. j&., August 14.—Yes
terday morning the people of Albuquerque
were frightened by the raging of a terrible
thunder and wind storm, preceded by
sharp flashes of lightning. Huge whirl
, winds of sand came down from the moun-
: tains, blinding pedestrians. The clouds
were heavy and dark, but no rain came.
Lightning struck the telegraph wires near
the freight depot, stuuning a number of
clerks and knocking a pen from the hand
i of the manager of the Orallupulco company
i in his office near by. A driver and team
were killed by the same flash of lightning.
>*. F. VeDable Dead.
Fort Monroe. August 14.—N. F. Ven
able, son of Hon. S. W. Venable, of Peters
burg, died here to-day.
EX-.JL 7 DGE TERRI' KILLED
HE SLAPS UNITED STATE'S JUSTICE
FIELDS’ FACE.
And is '-hot Through the Heart by United
States Marshal Nagle—A Scene of the
Wildest Excitement Ensues.
Nagle Arrested.
San Francisco, August 14 —Ex-Judge
David S. Terry was shot and killed by
Deputy United States Marshal David Na
gle at the breakfast table in the depot
hotel at Lathrop this morning. The shoot
ing was caused by an assault made by
Terry upon Justice Field, of the United
States supreme court.
Lathrop, Cal., August 14.—Upon the
arrival of the southern overland train here
at 7:30 o’clock this morning, United States
Judge Stephen J. Field and Deputy United
States Marshal David Nagle walked into
the depot dining room for breakfast and
sat down side by side. Soon after Judge
David S. Terry and wife (formerly Sarah
Althea Hill) came in. They were proceed
ing to another table when Mrs. Terry, evi
dently recognizing Judge Field, did
not sit down, out returned to the
train for some unknown purpose.
Before she reached it, however, and as
soon as she had left the dining room,
Judge Terry approached Justice Field,
and, stooping over him, slapped his face.
At this juncture Deputy Marshal Nagle
arose from his seat and shot Judge Terry
through the neart. As he was fading the
deputy marshal fired again, but missed
him, the bullet going tnrough the floor.
Both shots were fired in very quick succes
sion.
The judge never uttered a sound after
being snot*. He had hardly fallen when
Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of his body
and threw herself upon it. Then
ensued a scene of the wildest excite
ment. People rusUed from the din
ing room and others rushed in.
During thi3 time Justice Field aud Deputy
Marshal Nagle retreated to the sleeping
car, where they were securely locked
witnin.
Ac times Mrs. Terry would call upon
citizens to arrest them. Before the train
pulled out, Constable Walxer entered the
sleeper and was carried away on board the
train. He informed the crowd that he
knew his duty and would perform it.
During the time the train was standing
at the depot, Mrs. Terry was running
wildly alternately from the body of her
husband to the sleeper, demanding that
she might slap Justice Field’s face, and at
ihe same time begging that they be de
tained and have their examination here.
Previous to the entrance of Constable
Walker into the sleeper, Sheriff Purvis and
a deputy of Stanislaus county had already
taken cUarge of Deputy United States Mar ;
shal Nagle.
After the shooting Deputy United States
Marsiiai Nagle backed up against the wail
of the dining room and warned every one
not to arrest him, saying that he was a
United States officer in the discharge of
his duty. There was no atternDt to molest
him at any time. Constable Watkin took
Deputy Nagle from the train at Tracy and
proceeded with him to Stockton, where ]
he is now in jail.
District-Attorney White ordered the ar- ;
rest of Justice Field upon his arrival in j
San Francisco, and telegraphed the order
to the sheriff of San Francisco.
San Francisco, August 14 —The south
ern overland train arrived at the Sixteenth
street station in Oakland alter eleven
o’clock this morning. A great crowd had
collected, telegraphic intelligence of the
Lathorp tragedy having preceded the ar
rival of fh- train, and the sleeping car in
which Justice Field was sitting was at
once besieged by Unitea States officials and
newspaper men. Justice Field maintained
his quiet demeanor, and replied to a press
representative when asked to narrate the
particulars oi the shooting, as follows:
“I can tell you the story in a few words. I
For the last few months all manner of re- j
ports, both public and personal, have j
readied me that Judge Terry had threat- i
enea to subject me to some form of indig
nity if he should happen to meet me.
This fact caused the United States marshal
to decide to provide such protection a3 he
could during my stay in this state. When
I started for Los Angeles to hold court,
Deputy Nagle accompanied me. He
seemed to be a quiet, gentlemanly official,
though I only met him twice wnile away
from Los Angeles. He asked me in that
city when I intended to return,
and accompanied me, taking a
seat in the sleeping car opposite
to me. We heard this morning that Judge
Terry and his wife were on tne train, but
paid no attention to the fact. When we
arrived at Lathrop, we entered the eating
station to get breakfast. I took a seat at
the end of the table, while Nagle sat on
one side of me. Terry and his wife came
in the room soon after. As soon as she
saw me she went out of the room, as I
afterward learned, going to the car for her
satchel. Judge Terry rose and I supposed
he intended accompanying her. instead
of doing so he waiked back of me and
struck me a heavy siap in the face. I was
completely astonished, and, seeing he was
making ready to strike again, Nagle cried
out: ‘Stop! Stop!’ Bat Terry did not de
sist, and as he was raising his arm a second
time Nagle shot at him, the bullet entering
his heart. He fell to the floor, Nagle shoot-
ing a second time, but the second shot did
nut strike him. Nagle was arrested at
Tracy and taken to Stockton to await the
result of the inquest. That is the com- j
pie e story as far as I am aware of the i
fsets,” said the justice, in conclusion.
.Protection was accorded to Justice Field, j
it is claimed, by authority of United States j
Attornev General Miller, woo telegraphed j
from Washington to the marshal of the j
district to see that the person of the jus- ;
tice was protected at any Uazari.
Tue order extended also to Judge Saw
yer, of the L’uited States ciruit court in !
this city, upon whom Mrs. Terry made a j
personal assault last year While on a rail
way train, accompanied by Judge Terry.
The order was based upon this fact, and
upon threats declared to have been made
openly by Terry against Justice Field.
Deputy Marshal Nagle was directed to
accompany Justice Field uuder this order,
and i3 said to have given Judge Terry full
warning to stop when the latter began
his attack upon Justice Field, and the lat- |
ter fired at Terry as the latter was about
to strike a second time.
Justice Field left the overland train at
Oakland Ferry and drove at once to the
Palace hotel, where he was joined by his
wife. He was not arrested, and tne notice j
to the chief of police, claimed to have |
been sent by the district attorney of San
Juan, if forwarded in that form, was not
carried out.
THE PRESIDENT AND PARTY.
They Leave Bar Harbor for Washington.
Incidents of the Trip.
Bangor, Me., August 14.—President
Harrison left Bar Harbor in uncomfort
able weather. The skies have smiled on
him during almost the whole of his visit
to his secretary of state, but when he
arose at Stanwood this morning, he
looked out upon a grey, chiiiy, wet day.
The rain kept hammering down as he ate
breakfast with hu friends and prepared
for the one mile drive to the wharf, but
when he took a seat in the close carriage
it had almost stopped. From the carriage
to the wharf he escorted Mrs. Hale and
held an umbrella over her head and his
own. Closely following him were Secre
tary Blaine, * Secretary Tracy, Senator
Hale, Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge, Priv
ate Secretary Halford, Mr. Har
old M. S 3 wall, of Samoan fame,
who escorted the president to
his father’s residence in Bath; Lieutenant
Cawies, commanding the United States
steamer Dispatch; Air. Aoiick Palmer,
Mr. J. G. Blaine, Jr., and Hon. W. 3. Gur
nee. Walker Blaine, who was to have
formed one of the party as far as New
York, exercising supervison over the trav
eling arrangements, did not come to the
wharf. Last evening he sustained a bruise
near the eye by a buck-board accident.
His physicians thought a little rest would
be good for him.
On the wharf stood a half hundred spec
tators. The president went directly to the
main saloon of the boat Sapho, Capt. Oli
ver, and there parting greetings were ex
changed between him and Secretary
Blaine, also with Mr. W. S. Blaine. The
little crowd waved its good bye and the
president was once more on the water,
and then fairly begun his trip to Washing,
ton. It was just raw enough on the water
to make everybody stay in doors, and the
president sat in the main saloon during
the half hour trip.
Hancock Point was reached about 9:15,
aud five minutes later the party was seated
in the vestibule of the parlor car, in which
he had traveled from Boston. The presi
dent’s surroundings were of the most com
fortable kind. The parlor cars, with all
modern conveniences, were decorated
with flowers from end to end. On the
table were birch bark canoes, laden with ;
flowers. The locomotive was trimmed I
witn flowers and bunting. A stop for a
minute was made at Ellsworth, the home
of Senator Hale, and the president jumped
to the platform and assisted Mrs. Hale to
alight. A parting word, aDd the train was
off, making no stop until it reached Ban
gor. at 10:35 a. m.
Bath, Me., August 14.—About 200 peo
ple were in the station at Bangor when
the presidential party arrived. The presi
dent received a warm greeting and stood
shaking hands on the platform until the
train proceeded. Secretary Tracy, Senator
Hale, Congressman Lodge, Private Secre
tary Halford, Harold M. Sewall, and J.
G. Blaine, Jr., were his traveling com
panions at this time. The train went at
express speed through Waterville
and on to Augusta in a drizzling
rain. Fifty-five miles in sixty-two
minutes was the record made from
Bangor to Waterville, and the run was
fast south of the last named city. The
stop at Augusta was only long enough to
permit J. H. Manley to step on board.
Governor Burleigh was not at the depot.
He had been expected to meet the train
in this city and lunch at Mr. Sewall’s, but
he had not sufficiently recovered from an
attack of rheumatism to take the jour
ney, and consequently was compelled a
second time to mis* greeting the president
as he passed through the state. While
the train waited the president kept his
seat, gazing from the window at the three
score of people who watched him from
the platform.
At Brunswick, Arthur Sewall, Payson
Tucker and General Hyde came aboard.
At one time daring the morning journey
the train made a mile in forty eight sec
onds. and at another time a mile in fifty-
five seconds. Bath was reached at lp.m.,
aud there President Harrison was enthus
iastically received by a large crowd of peo
ple that crowded the depot and lined the
streets as the nresident aud narty were
driven to the residence of Mr. Sewall for a
hasty lunch. Afterward the president ap
peared on the custom house steps, and
with his party, was welcomed by the chil
dren from the soldiers’ home.
After lunch a reception was held at the
Bath federal building. After the presen
tation had beeu made within doors, the
president was escorted to the front of the
building and was introduced by the mayor
toithe assembled crowd. The president
responded by saying:
My Friends: My visit to the state of
Maine is altogether disconnected from
public affairs. I am not here to-day to
speak to yon on any public topic, but only
to thank you sincerely for the cordial
manner in which you have received me.
I cannot.Jhowever, leave the presence of
the citizens of Bath without assuring
them that I have a very deep interest in
that great industry which built your
thriving city, and which has done so much
to promote the prosperity of our whole
people—the industry of ship-building
[Great applause]. In every way that
1 properly can, whether as a citizen or- as
a public officer, I shall endeavor to pro
mote the rebuilding of our American mer
chant marine, and the restoration of that
great carrying trade which we once pos
sessed in every sea. [Cheers]. Arrange
ments which have been made, and the in
terest which I feel in the close inspection
of your ship yards, forbid that I should
speak to you longer, and beg that yon wiil
allow me to thank you again for your cor
dial interest and to bid you good-bye.
The nresident and party then re-entered
carriages and were driven te the works of
the Bath Iron Company. They were re
ceived with great enthusiasm. Just inside
the long, wide building the children of
the military and naval orphan asylum
were ranged with flags in their hands, and
greeted the president with a song as he
entered.
After inspecting the works the party
etnoarked on the steamer Winurna, fol
lowed along the river for some distance
inspecting the various ship yards and view
ing with much interest the ships in process
of construction. The president ana secre
tary of the navy climbed the steps leading
to the platform at the top of a skeleton of
one ship, after landing from the steamer at
the Sewalla ship yard, and iooked at others
from the windows of ttieir carriages as
they were driven through the yard toward
Mrs. Sewall’s house. At the house an in
formal reception was held, and a collation
was served.
CHICAGO MARKET,
Review of Speculation in the Grain and
Provisiou Market.
Chicago, August 14.— Future deliveries
of wheat averaged about lc higher iu all of
the leading home markets to-day. At this
point the opening was buoyant and strong,
at J to |c, improvement over yesterday’s
closing raDge, and initial trading was at
the lowest prices of the session. Yestei-,
day’s market was relatively the strongest
August selling up [c while December was
advancing |. This checked cash buying
finally, as shippers claimed to be unable to
fellow the advance. From 7S)c early De
cember advanced during the session to 73?
to 7Sic, and closed 781 to 7Sic. or Jc higher.
The market closed quiet and easy, with
August l j and September 1 }c above yester
day’s latest bids.
Corn was moderately active and firm.
The market r pened ] to 3c higher than the
closing prices of yesterday, was firm and
advanced 29*c, eased off [c, ruled firm and
closed + to Jc higher loan yesterday.
Oats were fairly active and stronger, and
prices advanced * to 3c, but extreme out
side figures weie not fully maintained
until the close. Pork was active but ir
regular. The feeling was weak, and prices
were 25 to 27ic lower on near, and 10 to
124c m deferred deliveries Later the de
mand improved consicerably and prices
rallied 7] to 10c, aud closed steady. Lard
was active at the opening. The feeiing
was stronger with fair buying. Later the
demand slacked and prices declined 5 to
71c on near deliveries, and the market
closed rather tame. Ribs were active dur
ing the early part of the day, fluctuating
within a narrow range. During the latter
part of the session a decline of 71 to 10c
was fully estabiisned, and the market
closed tame.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Extent of Business Done in Listed and Un
listed stocks Yesterday.
New York, August 14.—The stock mar
ket was again extremely dull, with busi
ness almost entirelv in the hands of the
traders, local operators of weight as well
outside interests doing literally nothing.
There was an attempt to carry yesterday’s
reaction still further, and in some in
stances fractional impressions were made
upon prices, but the general effect of tne
effort was very disappointing, and later in
the day there was a return to strength and
most stocks closed higher than last even
ing. Final changes are irregular and gen
erally for slight fractions only at the close
to the opening prices. Delaware and Hud
son and Norfolk and Western preferred are
each up ljc, and Chicago and East Illinois
lc. Sales of stock aggregated 131,000
shares.
SULL1VAX AXD KILRAIN.
KILRAIN ARRESTED AT BALTIMORE
BY CITY OFFICIALS.
He Will Go to Mississippi for Triai—What
He Says About the Late Prize Fight.
The Grand Jury Indicts Both
of the Fugaiists.
Baltimore, August 14.—The ex cham
pion, Jake Kilrain, is now in the clutches
of the law. He was captured about 7
o’clock this morning as he stepped from
tne Norfolk boat, on his arrival at h6r
wharf. When Kilrain walked off the
plank, accompanied by his wife, Sergeant
Frank Toner greeted him with these
words:
“How do you do, Jake? The marshal
wants to see you.”
“All right; I am ready to go with you.”
The sergeant was armed with the props r
authority, viz: a warrant issued by Gov -
ernor Jackson for Kilrain’s arrest, by vir
tue of a requisition made on him by Gov
ernor Lowry, of Mississippi. When ap
prehended by the sergeant, Kilrain waited
only long enough to get his baggage to
gether, and sent them with his wife to nis
residence in this city. He then entered
a carriage and was driven to the ceniral
police station. He was not put under lock
and key, as is customary with those appre
hended for any misdemeanor, but was
allowed to rest himself in Captain Farnan’s
private room.
Kilrain was not at all upset by his arrest,
but took matters coolly, as he enjoyed a
nice breakfast from a near by restaurant.
Kilrain is looking well. He is somewhat
tanned, owing to the exposure on the
beach at Old Point. His eyes are bright,
and his general appearance is that of a
man in perfect health. His mustache,
which was shaved off prior to his tight
with Sullivan, is growing now, and alto
gether, he resembles his appearance when
be was trainer for the Ariel Boat Club sev
eral seasons ago. Jake weighs about 200
pounds. Outwardly he bears no marks
whatever of his recent encounter witn
Sullivan, and if he wn c ’’njured, the rest he
ha3 had and the sur bathing at Old Point
have effected a cure.
Jake regretted he could not outline his
future course, ow.ng to the uncertainty as
to what would be done with him by Gov
ernor Lowry. He said:
“I had intended ail along to give myself
up, and was only waiting to see what they
would do with Sullivan. I thought it was
better to do that than to keep dodging
around the country trying to evade arrest.
They would have hounded me anyhow
until they captured me, and I did not care
to leave the country, as all my interests
are here, and I think I can do well when
once more I am free. Unfortunately,
however, I came home a few days too
soon. Had I waited a little longer I would
have known what was done to Sullivan,
and then would have known what to
expect mvself. Of course, I expect to get
the same’that he dots. If it is a fine and
six months in jail, then I will get it, too.”
“If that should be the result. Jake, what
will you do after serving the sentence,”
inquired the reporter.
“Oh, I don’t know, I have not made
any pians for the future. I have several
offers from combinations to go on the road.
Any one of them would pay me pretty
well. I suppose I will have to give up ail
such ideas now until I find what they are
•’oiiig to do with me down south.”
In relation to the fight, Kilrain said that
Sullivan was in prime condition and that
he considered Muldoon the best man in
the world to handle the big fellow. In
fact he could not have been gotten into
such condition by any other man.
When asked his own condition, Kilrain
vveuid say little. He said: “I was not as
strong as I expected to be, and Sullivan
was much stronger than we thought him
to be.”
“A great many people think that
MitcUell did not handle you properly,
Jake,” said the reporter.
“Oh, I guess he did as well as he knew
how,” was tne reply.
About this time Kilrain’s friends began
to drop in. Among them was Joe Wnyte,
his lawyer, It was at first thought that
an attempt would be made to get out a
writ of habeas corpus for tiis release from
custody, but later developments in the
case show that this course has been aban
doned, Kilrain having decided to go at
once on the requisition to Mississippi.
Marshal Frey telegraphed the news of
Kiirain’s capture to Governor Lowry eariy
this morning, and it has been arranged to
send Kilrain, accompanied by Captain
Farnan and Sergeant Toner. They will
probably leave to-night for Mississippi.
Secrecy has been maintainedjby the police,
as it is now known that on the 29th of July
Governor Lowry made a requisition on
Governor Jackson,who immediately issued
the warrant for Ktlrain’s arrest. Thi3 was
received by the marshal on July 31, and he
at once detailed officers to keep a sharp
lookout for KilraiD, who was known to be
in the vicinity of Norfolk, and every
morning for the past two weeks the
incoming boats have been watched.
All this time Detective Norris was ca
vorting around the country, and the news
papers were full of reports about his
doings. The Baltimore police, however,
laid low, and finally were successful. Mar
shal Frey is perfectly satisfied with the
legality of Kilrain’s arrest, and said: “I
have had many illegal papers thrust at
me, but would not touch any of them until
I got a warrant direct from Governor
Jackson. Then I got to work. You see,
if the papers were in the least faulty then
Kilrain’s arrest would be illegal, and ne
could move his release on a writ of habeas
corpus; but, as the matter now stands, in
my judgment, everything is perfectly
straight, and the only thing is to turn
him over to the Mississippi authorities.
There is no case against him in this state,
and all we had to do was to arrest him on
the requisition of another state. The
latest developments are to the effect that
Kilrain will do nothing here, but will
go to Mississippi and make his fight before
| the courts of tnat state. He will certainly
leave Baltimore in charge of Captain
Farnan and Sergeant Toner to night.
THE TWO EMPERORS.
They Witness a Sham Battle Between the
German I roops.
Berlin, August 14.—Emperor William
and the emperor of Austria left Berlin at
7:45 o’clock this morning for Spandau,
where a sham fight took place. Four bat
talions of troops crossed Havel river,
which, at thi3 point, is 450 meters
wide, on a bridge constructed on ninety
pontoons. The building of the bridge and
the passage of the troops were accom
plished in a remarkably snort
time. The oatt.e took place
on the heights south of Spandau.
One division of teu battalions used the
new smokeless powder, while thrir oppo
nents used the oia stym of powder. Tne
contrast between the effects of tne loua
explosives was striking, the troops u3ing
the old powder being completely envel
oped in smoke. The action ended in the
western force being thrown back on
Spandau. „ .
After the battle Emperor William called
the officers together and criticised the
operations. The two emperors lunched in
a tent th-t*had been specially erected on
the field for that purpose. They returned
to Berlin at 1 o’clock.
Cotton Futures.
New York, August 14.—The Sun’s cot
ton review says: Futures advanced three
to eight points. August showed the great
est rise, due to a sharp advance in near
options in Liverpool. There was a better
demand on spot here, a premium ruling
for “short notice” on light receipts at the
south and some demand from shorts, as
well as on foreign orders. Rains continue
at the south, but they were light in Texas,
where they are said to be needed. Cotton
on spot was active and firm, the sale being
chiefly for spinning. Middling uplands
11 5-16, gulfs 11 9 16.
Weather Probabilities.
Washington,August 14.—Indications for
Georgia and Alabama: Local showers,
slightly cooler in the northern portion,
stationary temperature in the southern
portion; southwe3ternIy winds, becoming
variable.
Racing iu England.
London, August 14.—The race for the
tenth great national breeders’ foal stakes
at the Redca second summer meeting to
day was won by Chitabob, Redsand sec
ond, Chrott third. Five starters.
At the Kempton Park second summer
meeting the race for the great interna
tional breeders’ foal 3takes was won by
Wishing Gate, Swift second, Melaneon
third. Six starters.
Iowa Republican Couveutiou.
Des Moines la.,August 14.—B. I. Salin
ger, of Carroll, was made permanent chair
man of the republican convention, which
met here to-day. Nomination speeches
were dispensed with, and the first ballot
on the nomination for governor resulted as
follows: Wheeler 447, Hull 411, Hutchin
son 207, Crapo 37, Larrabee 52. Governor
Larrabee’s name was then withdrawn uy
his request and the balloting proceeded.
