sr INFURIATED MOB—8AD mishap of a
NIGHT WATCHMAN.
Woodbury, October 0.—[Special.]—
lthougli our town enjoys the reputation
■ being peaceful and orderly, yet it is
lought necessary for the best interests of
xr citizens to employ a night watchman,
hose duty it is to guard the town and
rike an old saw (substitute for a hell, our
ill being en route from foreign shores) a
irtain number of times, corresponding to
rery hour of the night, and we have ob-
.ined the above watchman in the person
' Anderson Gates (colored). While the
x>ve Anderson was guarding the
■wn last Tuesday night, with a vigilance
Qown only to a good night watchman;
hile guarding every man’s interest in
’oodbury, some miscreant filched from the
d negro his gun, his only weapon of de-
nce, the companion of his childhood, one
tat would kill—yes, kill a cat—and yet,
markable and strange as it may seem,
tis old negro sternly declares that he was
3t in the arms of morpheus.
Yesterday a negro who lives near here
ime to town with the intention of getting
arried, and it seems that some negro
ten objected to the match and informed
le would-be darky bridegroom of their
ejections. The darkey drew a revolver
ith the intention of silencing his objec
ts. Th^crowd made a dash for him,
hen he ran, making good his escape
>r the time being. It seems that the ne-
ro had to take the evening train going to
J arm Springs, and that the mob knew
lis, and when he made his appearance
iey beat him with railroad spikes to such
a extent that he was bloody from head
) foot, and will probably die from the re
lit of the blows.
A new blacksmith and wood shop is
eing erected by Rev. Mr. Head, which
ill be a great convenience to the public,
fhen finished and in operation these
lops will turn out only first class work.

Liverpool, October 6.—Fifteen hun
dred cartmen here have struck for higher
wages and shorter hours.
Balmimore, Md., October 6.—The Ger
man-day anniversary of the first German
settlement in America at Germantown,
Pa., was celebrated here today with enthu
siasm. A steady down-pour of rain marred
the scenic effect and prevented much out
door demonstration. The Academy of
Music was -filled with an audience in full
sympathy with the celebration. The
principal address of the day was by Col.
Frederick Raine, editor and proprietor of
the German Correspond' He said:
We celebrate today the memory of the
pioneers of Germantown, who, in common
with representatives of other nationalities,
made for themselves a new
home and opened America to the in
fluence of culture, and created
commonwealth which was destined
to give to the progressive spirit of human
ity a higher and nobler form. The de
scendants of the pilgrim who landed from
the Mayflower at Plymouth celebrate the
annual recurrence of the day when their
fathers first set foot on the soil of the
New World. The children of Hollanders
remember their Knickerbocker ancestors,
and to these we dntifully add German Day.
In the great process which formed the
American nation we and onr ancestors
have taken an active part. The history
of Germans in America famishes shining
examples that at all times, and in every
field, our patriotism and love for our new
country have fully equaled that of the best
in our American home, no matter of what
stock and descent. Never have the Ger
mans been wanting in loyalty.” Continuing
he declared himself opposed to everything
which tended in the direction of the asser
tion of the principle thatthe foreign horn
were not as good as native citizens. “We
German Americans,” he said “stand to-
from all sectionalism and clan-
1, bnt we will at all times defend
jives against any attempt to lessen
our just and eqnal rights as component
parts of the commonwealth, or to force
the emigrant who has escaped the oppres
sion of other countries and is determined
to found here, by industry and devotion
to his new country, a new, free and happy
home, into a position different from the
generally accepted principle of equal rights
for all.”
Rev. II. Schieb, who celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of his pastorate in this
city a few weeks ago, and Dr. L. H. Skin
ner, librarian of Pratt’s library, also deliv
ered addresses. A chorus of 400 children
from the German-American schools, de
tachments from several saengerbunds, and
a strong orchestra, rendered musical selec
tions, which included “My Country, ’Tis
of Thee,” “Star Spangled Banner,” and
the triumphal song of the Germans after
the battle in*Teutobourger forest.
This evening it is intended to have a
great torchlight procession.
GERMAN DAY IN RICHMOND.
Richmond, Va., October 6.—German
Day was celebrated here today for the first
time in the history of the city by a parade
and a picnic at the Exposition grounds,
where addresses were delivered by H.
H. Schwicht, in German, and State Sena
tor William Lovenstein, in English. Gov.
McKenney and Mayor Ellyson also made
brief patriotic speeches.

Washington, October 6.—The Presi
dent left Washington this morning at 11:24
o’clock, via the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road, to attend the Grand Army reunions
at Galesburg, Topeka and Kansas City,
and incidentally to visit St. Louis, Indi
anapolis, Peoria and other cities en route.
He was accompanied by Secretary Tracy,
Marshal Randall, Capt. Merideth, Private
Secretary Halford, E. F. Tibhott (the
President’s stenographer), the representa
tives of two press associations, and C. R.
Bishop, of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road, who lias charge of the transportation
arrangements and details of the entire
trip. The party will travel In the elegant
Pullman hotel car “Hasleinere,” tendered
for that purpose by George M. Pullman.
WAYCROSS JOTTINGS.
Waycrss, Ga., October 6—[Special]—
Rev. Mr. Bicknell, the new pastor for the
Episcopal church of Waycross, occupied
the stand for the first time yesterday, and
preached a very agreeable discourse to his
hearers as evidenced by the extreme quiet
that prevailed throughout his discourse.
Rev. Bicknell is quite a young man in ap
pearance, but is nevertheless eloquent.
After preaching yesterday he administered
the holy sacrament to the congregation.
Services will now be regular every Sunday
as appointed by Mr. Bicknell on yesterday.
It has been a long time since the Episco
palians have had a pastor before, and they
appreciate the services of Rev. Mr. Bick
nell greatly.
There has been considerable excitement
throughout our city the past week occa
sioned by a little disorderly behavior of
some young people at the Methodist
church on last Sunday night. It is to be
hoped, however, that the matter will be
hushed up, as it has engendered already
some hard feelings among otherwise good
friends and neighbors.
Mr. D. J. McIntosh, one of our most
active real estate agents, has struck out on
the right line to increase the industries of
our city as well as to increase the popula
tion, by advertising to donate to any party
land sufficient to erect a factory, and it is
to be hoped that other manufactories will
soon be started up in this city, and that
Mr. McIntosh’s liberality will be taken
advantage of by some man or men with
ample capital to do a prosperous business.
The Waycross Air Line railroad is still
working slowly along, their latest move
being the putting on the line of several
new "platform cars of twenty tons capacity.
They also now carry the mails on their
trains out as 1 ar as the road extends,
which is to Beache’s still twenty-five or
thirty miles out. _
THE PRINCE ABROAD.
-k
WALKS GOING ABOUT EUROPE INCOG
Vienna, October 6.—The Prince of
Wales! who is traveling incognito, has ar
rived in this city. This afternoon the
Prince visited the Church of the Capuch
ins and placed a wreath upon the tomb of
the late Crown Prince Rudolph.
THE BOILER MAKERS STRIKE.
London, October 6.—The boilermakers
at Newport and Monmouth have gone out
on a strike. The question in dispute is
whether the boiler makers or engineers
shall do angle iron work.
ON A REGULAR JUNKETING TOUR IN AND
ABOUT PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, October 6.—When the
visiting metallurgists iron men awoke this
morning, a drenching down-pour cf rain
was falling. But as most of them spent
yesterday in quietly resting, they were
ready to brave over the discomforts of a
stormy American autumn day, rather than
forego the opportunity of visiting the great
industrial establishments of the second
greatest manufacturing city in the world.
A wide range of choice from which to
select had been arranged by the committee
having their entertainment in charge, and
the only thing that troubled most of the
visitors was which should they choose, as
each excursion seemed to promise equal
instruction and pleasure. About two
hundred visitors decided to go up on an
excursion to Phccnixville, where they are
to be shown through the blast
furnaces and rolling mills of Phoenix Iron
Company and works of Plnenix Bridge
Company. This party left the Continental
Hotel in eoac es at 9:30 o’clock for the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad depot at
Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streets, where
they boarded a special train that was in
waiting and started on the journey. They
will return to this city over the Reading
road, arriving here at 4 o’clock. To those
who went on this excursion the oppor
tunity will be given to make a tour
through some of the local iron works, an
arrangement having been made to side
track their train at several of them on the
return from Phcenixville. A number of
ladies accompanied the party. Those of
the iron men who did not make the trip
to Phcenixville divided into four or five dif
ferent parties, some of whom went through
the shops of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, William Sellers & Co’s tool works,
Bement, Miles & Co’s tool works, Gordon,
Stroeble and Lameen machine works,
United States Mint, city hall and other
points in the Central portion of the city.
Still others crossed the Delaware river
and were conveyed by special train to the
Camden Iron Works on the outskirts of
Camden. Others went down to Chester
and visited the ship yards of Delaware
River Ship and Iron Works and the Edge-
more Iron Works at Wilmington, Del.
Hie ladies of the party who did not make
the trip to Phoemeville were entertained
at luncheon at the ladies’ club house on
the grounds of the Germantown cricket
club at Manheim.
At Phcenixville, the party was met by
the officers of the varions departments.
The Phoenix Iron Company’s works were
inspected. The party then boarded the
special train and returned to Philadelphia.
Their visit to this city was brought to a
close tonight by a reception at the Acad
emy of Fine Arts. The affair lasted until
midnight. The academy presented a bril
liant scene. Tomorrow the excursionists
will start westward, Lebanon, Altoona
and Johnstown being visited on the way to
Pittsburg.
THE CONSPIRACY TRIAL.
that the doctors be summoned by the court
to testify as to their patient’s condition.
Dillon said that the doctors’ certificate
would have to be accepted as evidence that
O’Mabony was in no condition to appear
before the court, as the doc
tors themselves distinctly refused to
come to court to substantiate
the statements they had already made
in their certificates. Ronan then asked
the coart to adjourn for an hoar to enable
the Crown to decide whether the charge
against O’Mahony would be withdrawn, or
application made for a warrant for his ar
rest. O’Brien was not pleased with the
prospect for adjourning the case for an
hour, and he, therefore, asked Ronan,
“Can you not decide thlk matter in half an
hoar, and not keep ns fooling around
here?” The court granted the request of
Ronan, and adjournment was taken for an
hour.
Upon the re-assembling of the Court,
Ronan stated that the prosecution bad
telegraphed to two doctors requesting
them to examine O’Mahouey, and had
sent a third from Tipperary to visit and
examine the defendant. He expected that
the doctors would appear in court later
and testify as to O’Mahoney’s condition,
and he therefore, asked the Court to take
a further adjournment In the course of
his remarks, Ronan said that O’Mahoney,
through his Solicitor, had placed the
Court at defiance. This remark
excited the indignation of Dillon,
who said it was untrue. He further
said that he had done his best
to procure the attendance of O’Mahoney’s
doctors in coart O’Brien said that the
defendants had a right to complain against
the coarse of the prosecution. Honan’s
remark, he declared, was addressed to an
audience in England, and was designed
to injure the defendants. O’Brien’s re
marks Were greeted with cries of “hear,”
“hear,” by the defendants. A scene of
confusion now occurred. Ronan repeat
ed his remarks again and again, and Dil
lon, who was very angry, loudly denied
them. The defendants in the meantime pro
tested againt the court taking any further
adjournment. He maintained that in jus
tice no warrant could be issued for the
arrest of O’Mahoney until the court had
heard the testimony of his doctors. After
another heated wrangle, the court finally
granted Ronan’s request, and a further ad
journment was taken. The action of the
defendants, who are on bail, is likely to
result in their committal to the Clonmel
jail for contempt of court.
MORMON BOSH.
O’MAHONY’S ILLNESS CAUSES ANOTHER
DELAY.
Dublin, October 6.—The Magistrate
Court at Tipperary, before which the ease
of Dillon, O’Brien and a number of other
defendants charged with conspiring is
being heard, reconvened this morning. All
of the accused with the exception of
O’Mahony, who is HI, were present, but
their counsel, Redmond and Timothy
Healy, were absent in consequence of an
important engagement which demanded
their attention elsewhere. On behalf of
O’Mahony, Dillon produced certificates
from the two Clonkel doctors stating that
he was seriously ill and that it was impos
sible for him to attend the trial. Mr.
Ronan, prosecutor for the Crown, objected
to the certificates as not being a valid ex
cuse for O’Mahony’s absence, and insisted
CANNON AND WOODRUFF EXTOLLING THE
SAINTS.
Salt Lake, October 6.—At the Mor
mon conference yesterday George Q. Can
non spoke of the lofty conceptions of the
saints and especially regarding the future
state. So advanced are the saints’ ideas
that when other people attempt to follow
them they get lost in the magnitude of the
precepts. He believed the brethren in the
penitentiary would be more prosperous
when they got out than if they had not got
in, becanse they could say they had not
broken any of the covenants they had
made. He thanked God he lived among
sqeh people as those who were not afraid
of the consequences and took their pun
ishment like heroes. The time is coming
when this conduct of latter day saints
would stand out as the brightest page in
modern history. Their sufferings would
be acceptable to the Lord. Cannon further
said the saints would obey the laws and
bow in submission to the nation’s will and
leave the consequences with the Lord.
He told the people not to worry about
1891; that Christ would not come then.
In the afternoon President Woodruff
spoke. He said the Lord is about to prune
his vineyard for the last time, and that
sprouts would fallfike grain before the
mower. He spoke of the martyrdom of
Joseph Smith and the crucifixion of Christ
as events of like import. He endorsed
Cannon’s remarks, and further said when
any event transpired to deprive the saints
of their privileges they would remember it
is the will of God.
THE DAILY SENSATION
A PROMINENT BANKER SHOT BY
A WOMAN.
SHE WAS FORMERLY FROM MACON—AN
EDITOR ARRESTED—A TERRIBTE
FALL—A DYING EX-GOV
ERNOR—A PROBABLE
LYNCHING.
Birmingham, October 6.—[Special.]—
At 1:30 o’clock this afternoon, at the cor
ner of Twenty-first street and Second ave
nue, Mrs. Clarence D. Martin shot and
dangerously wounded her brother-in-law,
Edward T. Martin, a banker and member
of the brokerage firm of Martin & Leedy.
Several years ago Clarence D. Martin went
to Texas and led a wild, reckless life. Six
months ago he returned, and, sobering
down, entered business here. A few
weeks afterward a pretty, brunette wo
man, about thirty years of age, came here
from Dallas, Texas, and claimed to be
Clarence Martin’s wife, saying he had de
serted her and she came to assert her
rights. As soon as Martin heard of her
presence in the city he left for Decatur,
and from there for parts unknown.
HUSH MONEY.
The Martin family stand high, and in
order to hush the whole thing np Edward
T. Martin, Clarence’s brother, paid the
woman a sum of money. She left the city
and the matter was soon forgotten. Last
sight she came back and held a conference
with Edward T. Martin at the American
National Bank, of which he is a director.
This morning, while going to dinner, Mar
tin dropped into bis own office and met the
woman again. She followed him out, it
is said, and made a demand of him
for more money, which he refused to
give. She then called him a “puppy,”
and he turned his back on her. She says
he insulted her. As Martin walked off the
woman drew a 32-calibre revolver and
fired at him once. The ball entered the
left side, producing a dangerous though
not necessarily fatal wound. President
Barnett, of the bank, who was with Mar
tin, caught the worn an, disarmed her and
turned her over to the police. She is in
jail and refuses to see reporters. Martin
is resting well.
WHO THE WOMAN IS.
There seems to be some doubt as to
whether Clarence Martin was ever married
to the woman, but she says he was. She
says farther, that Ed Martin caused her
husband to leave her. She was formerly
Miss Julia Powers of Macon.
A TERRIBLE FALL.
Near Oneonta, Blount county, yesterday
afternoon, W. H. Boyng, a young man,
and two young ladies were out chestnut
hunting. Boyng climbed a tree forty feet
high, that had been partly cqt down and
fallen on another tree. When he reached

hurt.

Generals Grant and Sherman, and with
those already planted by other guests,
form quite a grove.

in part: “The completed files docket I re
gard as of great importance in securing
the prompt adjudication of completed
cases upon the motion of the claimant or
his attorney. Prior to the establishment
of this system the complaint was almost
universal that thousands of claims were
pending in the office the consideration of
which has been neglected for years, and
that claimants were powerless to secure
their consideration. A soldier had the
right to file his application for a pension
and to present all the evidence necessary
to prove his claim, but he had no power
to bring this claim before the adjudicating
division by any act on his part, the draw
ing of his claim from the flies for that
purpose being in the discretion of the file
clerks. Under the completed files system
the pensioners, or their attorneys can,
upon a proper certification that their
claims are complete, have them immedi
ate placed upon the completed files,
where they are taken up for adjudication
within a week. If the case .then t e
found incomplete, a call is immediately
made for the necessary additional evidence
and the case is disposed of as soon as this
is received. The system is an orderly
method of procedure. Up to June 30
99,761 claims were placed upon these files.
The system has bad the effect of enabling
many thousand clafmants, whose claims
have been pending from five to twenty
years, to bring their claims to the atten
tion of the Bureau for adjudication and
allowance, and complaint of delay has
been reduced to a minimum. As a result
of these changes in business methods,
more work has been accomplished than
ever before. The Commissioner recom
mends an increase of the pension for dis
ability, that prevents the performance of
any manual labor from $30 to $50 per
month. •
Under the dependent and disability act
of this Congress, 480,282 claims bad been
received np to September 30. This enor
mous number of claims has taxed the office
resources to their fullest extent. Congress
has authorized 438 additional employes on
account of these claims, and the Commis
sioner has assigned 175 of the present em
ployes to these cases. He has so arranged
the work of the office, he says, as to per
mit claims under the old laws to be rap
idly adjudicated without interfering with
the claims under the new law. If neces
sary he intends to ask for more clerks in
December.

TWO ALABAMIANS ARRESTED.
CHARGED WITH BUNCOEIXG A GREEN
GOODS MAN.
New York, October 6.—Robert D.
George and James H. Hahley, two Ala
bamians, last night at the Grand Central
depot were arrested upon the complaint of
a man giving his name as Eaton, charging
them with having buncoed a green goods
man. They were arraigned this evenin'*
in the Yorkville court and held in $300
bail for carrying concealed weapons.
Eaton, the complainant, did not put in
his appearance, though he promised to do
so. Both prisoners are perfectly non
committal and have retained ex-Judge
Murray to look after their interests.
One thousand five hundred and seventy-
four dollars found in their pos
session, by order of the court
was turned over to the property
clerk. Their counsel fought hard to pre
vent this, claiming that liis clients were
held upon the charge of carrying conceal
ed weapons and not for taking money.
The money was their personal property,
and the court had no right to deprive them
of it. He also urged that any man who
carried about his person such large
amounts was justified in having a pistol to
protect himself from being robbed. The
justice was firm, and said that after the
charge against them had been disposed of
they could begin a replevin suit for the
recovery of the $1,574.
THE PLUMED KNIGIIT
THE CONFERENCE ON IRISH AFFAIRS.
Dublin, October 6.—There was a
large attendance at the conference to
day, which was private. Justin Mc
Carthy offered a resolution demanding
that in the distressed districts in the
southern and western parts of Ireland the
Government immediately begin works of
public improvements to enable the people
to support themselves without charitable
assistance; condemning the conduct
of the Government in arresting
O’Brien, Dillon and others, and appealing
to the friends of the League everywhere,
and especially in America, to subscribe
generally to the fund for the
relief of distressed Irish tenants. This
appeal, the resolution says, is made most
unwillingly, bnt the desperate strait in
which the Irish tenants are now placed,
makes it absolutely necessary that assist
ance should be asked from friends and
sympathizers throughout the world.
Parnell sent a friendly message of en
couragement and hope. Dillon and
O'Brien and other Nationalists detained
at Tipperary sent a telegram expressing
their regret that a “disgusting judicial
farce” prevented their attending the con
ference. Dillon, O’Brien, Thomas Power,
O’Connor, V. D. Sullivan, Timothy Har
rington and Thomas P. Gill, all members
of Parliament, were appointed a deputa
tion to visit America.

WORK AMONG THE COLORED PEO
PLE.
WIIAT THE METnODIST CHURCH IS DOING
THROUGH ITS AGENT.
Rev. Mr. Hayes, who is now in the city
and who preached at St. Luke on Sunday,
is engaged in an extended field. The Kan
sas City Times of September 29, gives the
following clear statement of Mr. Hayes’
work:
Rev. W. M. Hayes, of Americns, Ga.,
occupied the pulpit of the Walnut Street
Methodist church yesterday morning aud
evening. He came to Kansas City by the
invitation of the people of the church, and
while here is looking over the ground
with reference to his particular work in
the South. Mr. Hayes is Commissioner
of Education from the Methodist
Episcopal church (South) for the Colored
Methodist Episcopal church in America.
The work to which he is devoting his life
is an interesting and a noble one, which
might be looked into in all its phases by
the American people, aDd particularly by
those who only partly understand, or have
wholly distorted ideas on the negro ques
tion in the Sonth. His work is in the in
terest of schools in which are educated
colored teachers and preachers who are to
give the benefit of their instruction to
their own race.
Mr. Hayes says that beyond question
the best way to elevate the negro race in
the South is through the educated men of
their own race. At the close of the war a
great many colored people were members
of the Methodist church. These asked to
be set apart and given a church of their
own. Some years ago this was done, and
shortly after Payne Institute was estab
lished in Augusta. Air. M. U. Payne, of
Fayette, Me., gave $25,000 to this insti
tute as an endowment fund. Some time
afterward the colored church established
an institute at Jackson, Tcnn., known as
the Lane Institute. Both of these schools,
of course, are for the education of colored
teachers and preachers who are to work
among their own people.
Mr. Hayes says that unquestionably the
best way to reach the 7,500,000 colored
people in the South is by means of native
teachers; that at several places in the
South colored people born and raised in
the North were attempting to teach, but
the Northern and Southern people did not
understand each other and they met with
no such success as the native teachers.
Those born and educated in the North
had necessarially distorted views of the
whole Southern situation, and particularly
the questions concerning their own race.
In speaking of the mistaken ideas of
Northern and Eastern people in regard to
the Southern people and Southern negroes,
Mr. Hayes said that no matter how broad
and catholic a mail may be lie cannot un
derstand the Southern negroes and the
Southern people unless lie has lived among
them. When asked about the general
condition of the colored people in liis
State, Mr. Hayes said that the efforts be
ing made to educate and elevate them were
meeting with marked success, and that
people both North and South, people of
all politics and all creeds, were helping.
When asked as to the efforts being made
toward social equality, lie answered that
the sure cure for all the fears of the South
ern people and for the claims for the col
ored people was Christian education, which
teaches every man his own place.
As to their general success lie cited the
fact that in his own town, a place of 8,000
inhabitants, one man who was a slave
until after the war was worth m arly $100,-
000 and several others were worth $3,000
to $5,000.
Mr. Hayes is devoted to his work and
expects to visit Kansas City next spring in
the interest of his mission. He will also
visit the North and East. He is a Geor
gian by birth, and during the war belonged
to the Army of Northern Virginia. He
lost his right arm in 1864. Fortwenty-
one years he has been a member of the
South Georgia conference.
