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. The senate passed the resolution to dis miss the suit for the recovery of the Indian Springs mill property instituted by the state against H. J. Lamar, The legislative chaplains, by virtue of a joint resolution which passed the senate to-day, will hereafter be paid §2 per day. The following bills passed: To incorporate the Cumming and War saw railroad. To abolish the commissioners ot roads in Forsyth county. To incorporate the Perry Loan, Savings and Banking Company. To amend the act incorporating the Way- cross Air Line railroad. To amend the act creating a board of county commissioners in Meriwether. The bill requiring persons before enter ing into a firm or copartnership business to register, and providing a heavy penalty ior failure to do so, was lost. The resolution to create a joint standing committee for the revision of bills passed the senate and was transmitted to the house. A bill was passed amending section 301 of the code, and one amending section 2367. Senator Julian’s resolution, touching the sale.of the old capitol property, was made the 3peciai order for Thursday of next week. Senator Hail’s bill, to require all claims against the fine and forfeiture funds to be evidenced by orders from the judges of the superior cr urts of the respective circuits, passed after a sjhrited debate. The Okefenokee swamp bill was recom mitted, and the senate adjourned. VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS. MEETING OF THE STATE CONVENTION AT RICHMOND YESTERDAY.

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.

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.
