IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOVER
EIGN GRAND I.ODGE.
Topeka, Kan., Septembor 20.—The
first annual convention of the Order of
Rebekah will he its last. When the
Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows I
met yesterday morning, the petiton of the ;
Kebekahs for continuance was given a :
special hearing, and by a practically 1
unanimous vote, a substitute was agreed i
upon which will do away with the national
•conventions. The Grand Lodge began its
evening session at S o'clock, and did not
adjourn until 1:30 o'clock this morning.
An amendment to the constitution in re
gard to the eligibility of saloon-keepers
was voted down by an overwhelming
majority. All of the amendments pro
posed to the constitution were voted down,
it is not likely that any changes whatever
will he made.
A PREACHER WHO COUI.D FIGHT AND !
WHO DID.
Wichita, Kan., September 20.—The
Rev. ,1. U. Carroll, a Baptist preacher got
into a row with John Carutliers, a
coal dealer, last evening, and
the latter, reflecting on the ancestry
of the former, the reverend gentleman re
plied by throwing his opponent to the
•street. They had a rough and tumble
tight, and the preacher was getting the
Lest of it when Thomas Barnett, a friend
of Carutliers, interfered. Carroll threw a
piece of iron which will probably result in
Barnett's death.
REVIEW OF THE SPECULATION IN THE
GRAIN AND PROVISION MARKETS.
Chicago,September 20.—Wheat—There
was slight trading today, very few outside
orders were received, and local operators
doing very little. Prices averaged lower
and ruled steady within an established
range. The opening was } to }c lower
than yesterday’s closing, advanced } to Ac,
declined J to lc fluctuated between 100}
and 101} for December, and 105} to 100
for May, and closed about } to }c lower.
Corn was fairly active, a moderate busi
ness being transacted within } to }c range.
The feeling prevailing was easier, but
later a better tone was manifested. The
first trades w'ere at } to }c decline, after
which the market sold up }c, reacted }c,
advanced }c, and closed at outside figures.
Oats were fairly active, with a decidedly
firmer feeling, especially for near futures,
which were offered sparingly and wanted
very freely by shorts, who bid prices up }
to }. May was traded in fairly, but prices
only advanced Ac, and the market closed
steady at about outside prices.
Pork—A fair trade was reported. The
opening sales were made at 2} to 5c de

submitted to.
Lard—There was rather more doing.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
DEMOCRATIC TACTICS
LEAVE REED WITHOUT A QUORUM
AND HELPLESS.
LANGSTON STILL WAITING—PRESIDENT
POLK AGAIN DISTURBED—CHARGES
GORDON WITH THE UNAUTHOR
IZED USE OF HIS NAME.
Washington,September 20.—[Special.]
The cruel war continues. There were
enough Democrats in their seats this morn
ing to order the yeas and nays on the ap
proval of the journal. This accomplished,
they wandered into the lobbies by twos
and threes, and the status of yesterday
once more prevailed. Reed was fairly
whipped, and after the roll call no quorum
responded. The House adjourned until
Monday. The Republicans expect by that
time to corral a sufficient number of their
own people to seat Langston. This col
ored man sat on a sofa in the rear of the
Republican seats today, as he has sat for
several days past. Whether the majority
will attempt to seat Miller over Elliott
after they put in Langston remains to be
determined. If it is to be another hide
and seek game, the ease will go over until
next winter.
The Republicans have had pictures of
the House made at times when only two
or three Democrats were in their seats
and while nearly all their own members
were present. These pictures are to be
used in the campaign.
She conferees on the tariff bill are very
wide apart as to their views on several
essentials. They are proceeding slowly.
It is hardly probable now that the bill
can be reported to the two chambers on
Monday.
The Senate this morning considered a
few bills, among others the one to regu
late the jurisdiction of the United States
courts.
Col. L. L. Polk, the National Alliance
president, claims to be in receipt of a cir
cular issued from Atlanta announcing the
incorporation of a company called the
Farmers’ co-operative Cotton Oil and Pa
per Stock Company, in which his name
appears as first vice-president, and Doc
tor Macune’s among the board of
directors. Governor Gordon is regis
tered as the president. Polk declares
that the placing of his name thus was
without authority, and from what he says,
some shocking telegraphic messages have
passed between the Governor and himself
on the subject. The company is capital
ized at §7,500,000. of which §2.500.000 is
preferred stock. W. H. Forbes, of At!an:a.
is the second vice-president. The object
of the company is to extract oil from cot
ton seed under a new process. Col. Polk-
exhibits great indignation at the ttse of
his name in connection with the organiza
tion, and declares he intends to have the
matter sifted. These facts are sent simply
as a matt*of news, the story beingknown
in newspaper circles.
Claude McLaughlin, Richard Hodges
and William A. Edwards, of Georgia, have
been appointed to SI,OX) clerkships in
the War Department, under civil service
rules.
Dr. Carlton’s family will leave for Geor
gia on Monday.
Editor Clark Howell, of Atlanta, is here.
E. P. S.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, September 20.—In the
House today O’Ferrall objected to the ap
proval of the journal. The Speaker
counted only thirty-seven Democrats, not
enough to order the yeas and nays on the
question present. Tellers were demanded,
and the Speaker then counted forty-eight
Democrats.
Breckinridge—“You only counted thirty-
seven before.’’
The Speaker—“This is not the first
time gentlemen on that side have appeared
and disappeared.”
Breckinridge—“And this is not the first
time the count of the Chair has turned out
to be incorrect.”
The Speaker—“The Chair desires to say
that yesterday the count by tellers showed
two less than the count by the chair, and
that was because of two members disap
pearing after the Speaker’s count.”
Crisp—“There was a difference of six.”
The Speaker—"The gentleman is mis
taken.”
Breckinridge—“The country will know
the facts.”
The yeas and nays having been ordered
there was a Democratic exodus, and in a
moment the Democratic seats were well
nigh deserted. The vote resulted yeas
151, nays 0—no quorum, and the House at
1 o’clock adjourned.
in the senate.
Washington, September 20.—The Sen
ate today resumed the consideration of the
bill to relieve the national banks. Sher
man expressed a willingness that the only
provision of the bill should be one to allow
national banks to issue notes to the full
face value of the bonds deposited to secure
circulation.
On Cockrell’s objection the bill was laid
aside without action. Cockrell favored
the withdrawal of the national bank notes
and the substitution of greenbacks. In
the course of his speech he said that what
had been seen within the last few weeks
had not been creditable to the country.
The Secretary of the Treasury had been
seen drawn on by the speculators in stocks
and grain in New Y'ork to pay out every
dollar of the surplus in the treasury in or
der to save them, and to save their imagi
nary profits in speculation and gambling.
The following bill, unobjected to on the
calendar, was, among others, passed: Ex
tending the privileges of the free delivery
of mails to towns having a population of
5,000, or a gross postal revenue of §5,000.
The calendar having expired, the Senate
resumed the consideration of the House
bill to define and regulate the jurisdic
tion of the courts of the United States,
and of the substitute therefor reported
by Evarts from the judiciary
committee. An amendment offered by
Ingalls was adopted. It provides that ap
peals and writs of error may be taken and
prosecuted from the decisions of the
United States Court in the Indian Terri
tory to the Supreme Court of the United
States, or to the Circuit Court of Appeals
in the eighth circuit, in the same manner
and under the same regulations as from
the circuit or district courts of the United
States.
Dolph offered an amendment, providing
that the Circuit Court of Appeals, in cases
in which the judgment is made final, shall
have the same appellate jurisdiction by
writ of error or appeal to review the judg
ments, orders and decrees of the Supreme
Courts of the several Territories, as by
this act they each have to review the judg
ments, orders and decrees of the District
and Circuit Courts, and for that purpose
the several Territories shall, by orders of
the Supreme Court, to be made from time
to time, be assigned to particular circuits.
After much discussion the amendment was
agreed to.
Daniel offered amendment • extending
the right of appeals to the Supreme Court
to all cases of conviction of felony, and to
all cases where the matter in dispute is a
right to personal liberty or a right to the
custody of a child. Without action on
Daniel's amendment, the bill was laid
aside informally, and private pension bills
on the calendar were taken up and passed,
eighty-five of them in fifty minutes. The
Senate then adjourned.
A FIERCE BATTLE
BETWEEN A GANG OF ITALIANS AND A
sheriff's POSSE.
Catlettsburg, Ky., September 20.—
The report comes from Louisa, Ky., that
at Twelve-Pole creek, near Wayne C. IL,
Va., Friday, a terrible fight occurred be
tween the Sheriff’s posse and a gang of
Italian railroad laborers, in which several
Italians were killed and a number
wounded. Some weeks ago a contractor
on the Norfolk and Western railroad named
Keogh went away, leaving numerous cred
itors, among the number being the Italians.
Several days ago a new contractor took
possession of the abandoned works and
put a number of laborers to work in a
cut formerly worked by the Italians. The
Italians refused to allow any
are to work until they had received their
pay for the work done under Keogh, and
proceeded to quiet the new laborers. Three
times the new laborers were run out of
the cut by the Italians, who used stones,
clubs, knives and pistols. The contractor
then applied to the Court for protection
and was furnished a posse of about a dozen
men, headed by the Sheriff of Wayne
couuty. On Friday the Sheriff made an
attempt to arrest the Italians, who fiercely
resisted. A combat resulted, with forty or
more Italians on one side, armed with
stones, knives and revolvers, and the
Sheriff’s men on the other. The Italians
fought from behind trees, stones and
whatever else would shield a man’s body.
The tiring became general and lasted some
minutes, and when the smoke of battle
cleared away several Italians were found
in the last "throes of death and several
more were wounded. The Sheriff" s men
escaped with a few severe bruises. About
20 Italians were arrested ami taken to jail at
the Wayne court house. The remainder
escaped to the woods. The scene of the
tight is forty or fifty miles from here and
remote from railroad and telegraphic com
munication.
FIFTH DISTRICT REPUBLICANS
NOMINATE COMMISSIONER HAIGHT TO RUN
AGAINST LIVINGSTON.
Atlanta, September 20. — [Special.]—
The Republican convention met here to
day to nominate a Congressman from this
district. The proceedings were brief and
to the point; the caucus program passing
off without let or hindrance. There was
only one man named in the convention,
and no opposition to him. That is Will
Haight, a young lawyer of Atlanta; United
States Commissioner at this point. At
one time and only a few weeks ago, it was
possible for a Republican to push Living
ston in the Fifth. But one after another,
Bullock, Bigby, Wilson.and three or four
others of the most prominent Republicans,
declined to become candidates. Living
ston’s promised obedience to the Democrat
ic Congressional caucus, and his
pacific utterances cn other questions
have fairiy taken the wind out
of the sails for the independent-
inclined ; and fairly entitled him to a full
Democratic vote. Judge Haight is a pop
ular young man, but he hasn’t the ghost
of a shadow of a chance of going to Con
gress.
THE LAST VICTIM.
ALL THE BODIES TAKEN FROM THE
WATER.
Reading, Pa., September 20.—The body
of an unknown man who was among the
victims of the disaster at Shoemakersviile,
and who was among the last to be taken
out of the wreck, was identified as George
Lambert, of Tamaqua. This places the
number of fatalities at twenty-one. All of
the wrecked cars were taken out of the
river tonight. It is now believed that
there are no more bodies in the water, and
that this ends the death list. The coroner
subpoenaed a jury today and will bold an
inquest early next week. The tracks have
been repaired, and trains are now running
as usual. The railroad officials here say
that they will make a most searching in
vestigation as to the cause of the wreck.
A number cf the least injured, who were
in the Reading hospital, were sent to their
homes today.

were in the mine. Four were killed and
the other hurt fatally.
THE EMPEROR’S PART,
AFTER A GRAND PARADE OF THE
GERMAN TROOPS.
A CAUCUS OF PRIME MINISTERS—THE POW
ERS AGAINST THE M’KINLEY BILL.
COMMERCIAL REPRISALS
ABE PROPOSED.
Berlin, September 20. — [Copyright,
1890, by New York Associated Press.] A
grand parade of the troops engaged in the
army manouvres was held this- morning,
near Richholz, in the presence of Emperors
William and Frances Joseph, the King of
Saxony, Chancellor Von Caprivi and
Count Kalnoky. At the conclusion of the
parade, Emperor William gathered the of
ficers in a group and addressed them,
commending their efforts in the field. He
thanked Emperor Frances Joseph and the
King of Saxony for attending the manouv
res and said he hoped that
what they had seen lierej con
vinced them that the army remained
as efficient under his leadership as it was
under that of Emperor William, thus fur
nishing a guarantee of the continued
solidity and strength of the brotherhood
of arms. He then called for cheers for the
Austrian Emperor, which were enthusi
astically given by the officers. Emperor
Francis Joseph, in his response, said he
was proud of having an ally in command
of such forces.
On leaving the fieldjthe royal party drove
to Liequitz. The route was lined with
local associations and the p pulace in
festal dress. After taking luncheon at
the castle the party proceeded to the rail
way station, where Emperor William bade
his guests farewell. There was much
embracing and kissing, Emperor Fran
cis Joseph being especially effusive toward
Chancellor Von Caprivi, shaking hands
with him repeatedly and waving good-bye
as the train departed. Emperor William
led the cheering for Emperor Francis Jo
seph. Von Caprivi, on his way back to
the castle, received a popular ovation.
Emperor William, accompanied by Count
Von Waldersee, went by train to Krisan to
visit Count Von Moltke, with whom they
dined.
The prolonged conference between Von
Caprivi and Kalnoky, which have been
held daily, have been largely devoted to a
discussion of the project of the Austrian
premier for closer commercial relations
between Germany and Austria. Von Ca
privi has been in constant communication
with Miguel, the Prussian Minister of
Finance.
Semi-official information has been ob
tained to the effect that Austria has taken
the initiative in proposing concerted Euro
pean action against the McKinley tariff
bill. The reports in the Paris newspapers
that France had been invited to join the
Dreibund do not mean the political league,
but a league whose object will be to take
commercial reprisals against America.
The reports, however, were entirely pre
mature. Chancellor Von Caprivi, evi
dently feeling himself incapable of de
ciding the complicated questions in
volved in the tariff war, declined
to commit Germany to any
action before consulting his colleagues.
It is probable that Kalnoky and Ribot, the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, ex
changed views on the matter. The officials
of the Foreign office here deny that there
have been any communications with the
French Government on the subject since
the overtures of Ribot thereon were
allowed to drop. Miguel is opposed to any
measure tending to increase the cost of the
necessary articles of food.
WHILDEN’S MYSTERIOUS DISAP
PEARANCE.
DETECTIVES SATISFIED HE’S NOT DEAD.
A MURDEROUS NEGRO.
Birmingham, September 20.—[Special.]
—It is reported that two detectives in the
employ of the life insurance companies
that bad policies on D. B. Whilden, the
young merchant who disappeared from
here last summer and was last seen going
down the Te::nes,ee river in a boat and
supposed to have been drowned, have no
tified their companies that they do not be
lieve Whilden is dead, and they claim they
can produce him if necessary. From what
can be learned it is believed that Whilden
is on a small farm in Texas, and his fam
ily think he was drowned in the river, but
have never brought suit against the in
surance companies.
A murderous nergo.
At Deatsville, last night, a negro armed
with a winchester rifle asked permission
of Engineer John Cox, of the south bound
Louisville and Nashville passenger • train
to ride on the pilot of the engine to Mont
gomery. Cox refused,and the negro fired on
him just as the train pulled out. The ball
missed Cox’s head half an inch and smah-
ed through the side of the cab. The ne
gro escaped.
It seems pretty sure now that since W.C.
Rabb, the only opposing candidate against
A. O. Lane for Mayor, has withdrawn and
that Dr. M. M Williams, who withdrew in
Rabb’s favor some time ago, will re-enter
the field against Lane.

sun’s COTTON REVIEW.
New York, September 20.—Futures
opened at three points advance, closing
quiet and steady at 1 to 2 points decline
on near, and 1 to 2 points advance on
later months. The market stiffened a lit
tle on a much better report from Liver
pool, but speculation was sluggish. The
anticipations of bad weather at the South
were not realized. The pressure of early
months was increased, under which prices
gave way, and there was a very unsettled
feeling. The weather was rather cool in
the southwest, but not generally unfavor
able.
Spot cotton was l-16c. lower.

REPUBLICANS PROTEST AGAINST THE
CONGER BILL.
Washington, September 20.—Senator
Blair today presented the following tele
gram which was signed by about fifty
names: The undersigned delegates to
the State Republican convention of South
Carolina respectfully request you to pro
tect the interest *of the colored farmers and
laborers of the South by using your in
fluence to defeat the Conger lard bill.
ALMONT PASHA.
CAPT. M’CATHERN TO BRING HIS FINE
STABLE TO THE EXPOSITION.
A number of prominent farmers of Lee
county, Ala., visited Exposition headquar
ters yesterday and report that a great deal
of interest is felt in that section over the
proposition to have Lee properly repre
sented at the Exposition. The county Al
liance has decided to take the matter in
hand, and a meeting will be held in a few
days for the purpose of making arrange
ments for the exhibit.
Mr. H. C. Hanson returned from South
east Georgia yesterday, and brings intelli
gence that Capt. W. McCathern, of
Waynesboro, will bring his stable of fine
horses to Columbus. Capt. McCathern is
the owner of the celebrated stallion, Al-
mont Pasha. This noble animal has a
record of 2:34, and sold for §3,500 when
only two years old. Almont Pasha has
never been beaten in any race, and has
won three Exposition purses. Eight fine
colts sired by Atmont Pasha will also be
brought to the Exposition by Capt. Mc
Cathern.
Mr. W. D. Davies, of the Spirit of the
South, will take in the Exposition and
promises to give Columbus some fine write
ups.
Only forty-five days before the gates of
the Exposition are thrown open to the
public.
Remember, the great show opens Nq-
vember 5 and closes November 15.
The Minstrel SHQ1V.-It is pleasant
to note that Columbus is to have some
thing new, fresh and sparkling, in the
way of a first-class minstrel show. Cleve
land’s magnificent minstrels are booked to
appear at Springer Opera House Monday
evening. This organization is one of the
great manager’s pets, of which he has
four. A more talented body of perform
ers, more thoroughly equipped for the bus
iness, it is stated, have never befojre ap
peared to a.nv audience. Their tour has
been an unparalleled success, and they
carry with them the approval of public
sentiment, striven for by all, and obtained
by few.
In a first part, that is unsurpassed in ita
magnificent construction of costly effects,
such shining lights as Willis P. Sweatman,
Billy Rice, Banks Winter, Harry Leigh
ton, J. P. O’Keefe, L. Somers, Augustus
Herwig and his Philearmonic orchestra
are to be found. Part second is crowded
with vigorous fun by such people as
Howe and Wall, McKisson & Girard, Nunn
& Ronaldo, and J. H. Mack, all recog
nized artists of the greatest calibre. Part
third is composed of exclusive attractions,
only to be seen with this company, and in
cludes Sugimoto’s Tokio Court theater
Japanese troupe. As an entirety, it
eclipses all former efforts.
Will Make It Again.—Judge James
Milton Smith, who has been presiding over
Talbot Superior Court for the past two
weeks, returned to the city yesterday.
The Judge gave a humorous account of
his escape from the Thornton House when
it was destroyed by fire last week, and
wound up by saying that the manuscript
of his speech was burned, after two-thirds
of it had been copied from the shorthand
notes of Hon. G. Y. Tigner, the official
court reporter, who was present and took
it down.
“I was right in that speech,” said the
Judge, “and,” he continued, “I will make
i again.”
When asked when and where the Judge
said he did not know.
Death of an Aged Lady.—Mrs. Mar
garet Foran, widow of the late Mr. James
Foran, died at 1:30 a’clock yesterday after
noon, after a lingering illness. She was
eighty-three years of age, and was born in
Ireland, but had been a resident of Colum
bus for many years. Mrs. Foran was a
noble, Christian woman, and the news of
her death will occasion profound regret
wherever she is known. She leaves two
children—Mrs. John Hoffman and Mr.
John Foran.
Died in Savannah.—A private tele
gram received last night brought the sad
news of the sudden death of Mrs. Ellen S.
Law, which occurred in Savannah yester
day afternoon at the home of her sons,
Messrs. C. F. and John Law. Mrs. Law
was seventy years of age. She was the
mother of the late Dr. S. B. Law, of this
city, and the grandmother of Mr. Sam
Law.. She lived in Columbus for many
years, and the news of her death will
bring sadness to the hearts of many Co
lumbus people.
