THE FORT WORTH SCANDAL MINNESOTA’S FIRST GOVERNOR
TO BE ENDED BY A SECOND MARRIAGE.
Fort Worth, October 11.—Mrs. Addie
Cullen, the telephone girl, left here last
night, ticketed through to New York city,
where she will be met by ex-Mayor IV. S.
Pendleton and a second marriage cere
mony will be performed. Mrs. Pendleton
No. 1 was granted a divorce a few weeks
since, and this second marriage will close
one of the most sensational society up
heavals known in the history of Texas.
Pendleton has begun the practice of law
in New York and has purchased a home
there.
I.ESTER ON THE STUMP.
WAYCROSS, Ga., October 20.—[Special.]
lion. Rufus E. Lester addressed the peo
ple of Waycross and Ware county at the
court house Saturday on the topic that is,
or should be, uppermost in the minds of
the entire people of these Un’ted States—
that is, on the subject of tariff legislation
in Congress. Judging from the frequent
applause accorded Judge Lester, his speech
met with hearty approval by the large
gathering present, the court house being
comfortably filled with people eager to
be enlightened on the great subject of the
tariff and other legislation before the
national law-makers. There was a goodly
number of the brother in black to hear
the speech, as well as a few white men
who claim allegiance to the Republican
party. The speaker gave some very timely
and good advice to the colored people
present, and which they would do well to
heed.
Saturday was also the day set apart for
ttlie Domination of candidates for county
officers in the ensuing January election,
when the following ticket was nominated:
For Clerk of the" Court, W. M. Wilson;
for Sheriff, S. F. Miller; Tax Collector, T.
T. Thigpen; Tax Receiver, J. J. Wilkin
son; County Treasurer, E. H. Crawley,
County Surveyor, J. J. McDaniel; Coroner,
.John Booth.
The plan adopted by the executive com
mittee for nominations in Ware county is
for tiie several districts in the county to
elect delegates to the county meeting and
there to cast the votes of their respective
districts for their choice of men to repre
sent them in the several positions to be
voted for. Mr. W. W. Sharp presided
•over the convention, and Mr. D. J. Black
burn acted as secretary.
The cool wave struck this section yester
day morning about sunrise and continued
to grow cooler all day. It is to be hoped
the heated term is uow past.
THE ANARCHISTS WILL CELEBRATE.
Chicago, October 21.—The Anarchists
will commemorate ou November 11th the
death of Spies, Fischer, Eugei and Par
sons, who were hanged on that day three
years ago. The program outlined includes
a visit to the Anarchists’ graves at Wald
heim, where Mr. Schultz, of New York,
will speak in German, Mr. Mikoianda in
Bohemian, and probably Prof. Gardise in
English. A large hall will be secured for
the memorial exercises and arrangements
made for a big street parade.
STRICKEN BY PARALYSIS AND IN A CRIT
ICAL CONDITION.
St. Paul, October 21.—Gen. H. Hast
ings Sibley, the first Governor of Minne
sota, and the only Democrat whoever held
the office, suffered a stroke of paralysis
yesterday, and is in a critical condition.
ALLIANCE DAY’ IN LAFAYETTE.
LaFayette, Ala., October 20.—There
was a light frost in this locality this morn
ing.
This has been Alliance day in LaFay
ette. The farmers brought in their cotton
to the amount of about eight hundred
bales and stored it, expecting an Alliance
buyer to be here, but for some reason the
buyer did not come. They are reticent
about their plans, and different rumors
prevail as to what course they will pursue.
Some say the Alliance will advance or pay
them 8:12 per bale and ship it direct to
Liverpool, accounting for the proceeds
after the cotton is sold, and expenses are
deducted. Others say they will be paid
the full price at the time of the sale. This
movement on the part of the farmers
toward controlling the cotton market to
some extent is a move in the right direc
tion, and it is to be hoped they will suc
ceed. The great danger is that sharpers
will get hold of their cotton and fleece
them out of a large slice of the proceeds.
Mr. W. M. Duliu has bought Dr. Fred
erick’s residence. Several new dwellings
will be erected here soon.
a fire near waverly hall.
Waverly’ Hall, Ga., October 21.—
[Special.]—At 3 o’clock Sunday morning
the barn of Mr. W. H. Luttrell, on his
plantation, three miles west of this place,
was discovered to be on fire. In this barn
were 250 or 300 bushels of corn, 2,000
pounds of fodder, four mules, a fine mare
and two colts. Of this number, three of
the mules were burned with all the corn
, and fodder in the barn. The barn was
worth $250 or $300. The loss by the fire
will approximate $1,000, and there was no
insurance on the building or stock. It is
believed that this fire was the work of an
incendiary, and such parties should be
brought to justice by a sufficient reward
by those in authority. Mr. Luttrell has
no grounds to suspect any one, as he has
had no difficulty with any one recently and
did not think he had an enemy in the
world.
MARRIAGE AT CAMP HILL.
Camp Hill, Ala., October 21.—[Spe
cial.]—Hon. W. J. Forehond, a prominent
planter and merchant of Fort Deposit,
Ala., and Miss Ella Newell, an accom
plished daughter of Mr. W. H. Newell, of
this place, were, on yesterday at noon,
happily united in marriage at her parents’
home, Rev, W. W. Turner performing the
ceremony. They left on the south bound
1 o’clock train for their new home at Fort
Deposit. The best wishes of the entire
community go with them.
The farmers are having good weather
for picking cotton, and the highest prices
a re paid by our enterprising merchants
and warehousemen.

LEGISLATURE.

WIPED OUT—THE LOBBY DENOUNCED.
LEGISLATIVE INACTION A CON
FESSION OF INFIDELITY.
Columbus, Q., October 21.—The House
of Representatives this morning adopted
a resolution as the sense of that body that
no slight or insult was intended on the
part of the House in the refusal of the
Speaker to accept the Governor’s message
yesterday evening, and appointing a com
mittee to call upon the Governor and re
quest that the message again be sent to
the House. Governor Campbell complied
with this request. The message is as fol
lows:
To the General Assembly: You were
summoned here to perform a plain and
imperative duty. After a special session
of several days, having been unable to
agree upon a form of relief for the city of
Cincinnati, some further suggestions are
in order. It is recommended that in lieu
of the present board of public improve
ments, a non-partisan board be created, to
be appointed by the Mayor who, as the
executive head of the city government,
ought to be responsible for its boards,
and having himself been elected by the
people of that city, such appointment
would be in conformity to the doctrines of
Home Rule. Since you have assembled it has
been plainly demonstrated that although no
pains or expense have been spared to send
a lobby here to mislead and intimidate you,
nobody in the city of Cincinnati could be
found for that purpose other than those hav
ing direct personal interest in said board.
This sufficiently proves how low the board
itself has fallen in the public estimation.
Let the handfull of schemers who are scuf
fling in the dirt before you, hoping for
some petty personal gain, be overlooked.
Remember the great body of the people of
Ohio who stand amazed at the
scenes enacted here last week,
who have read with disgust
that notorious lobbyists sat in the hall of
legislation openly directing the votes and
speeches of members, and who are fast
learning to despise those who obstruct
honest government and home rule. The
plain duty before you is to permit no de
viation from the path marked out. Let
no specious amendments or changes be
permitted. Do not swerve a hair’s breadth
from your purpose to wipe out the
board and eventually submit the
whole question to the people.
From this time on any and all proposi
tions other than this are meant for parti
san advantage only. There is no middle
ground. To delay longer is a confession
of incapacity; to refuse the passage of the
bill is a confession of infidelity.

Governor of Ohio.

THE PROCEEDINGS OF THEIE CONVENTION
AT PITTSBURG.
Pittsburg, Pa., October 21.—The bus
iness of the convention of the Inter-Na
tional Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin
eers is progressing quite rapidly, and an
adjournment will be had in about ten
days. The sessions continue secret, bnt it
has been learned from a reliable source
that the proposition of a federation with
the train men’s organization will be re
jected. The new executive committee
just appointed is as follows: Edward
Kent, of Erie, chairman; Col.
Nat Sawyer, of the New York
Central; B. M. Clark, of Denver, Col., Ash
Kennedy, Winnipeg, Manitoba; Dan
Brown, of Derry, Pa. ; G. B. Torver, of
Temple, Texas. At a meeting of the com
mittee last night $2,025 was distributed
among the widows, orphans and indigent
members of 50 of the 452 divisions of the
order. This amount was distributed
among fifty-six persons. The committee
on special charities, John Poffenberger, of
New York, chairman, also held a meeting
and disbursed considerable money.
Atlanta, Ga., Minneapolis and St.
Paul have been suggested as the
place for holding the next
meeting. The Western delegates have
Combined in favor of St. Paul.
Prominent delegates have stated that the
assertion made by a New York newspaper
that tne convention had ordered a strike
on the Erie road, is false. The subject
has not been brought before the meeting.
No session will be held tomorrow, the
members having accepted an invitation to
visit the shops of the Pennsylvania road at
Altooha.

COUNSELS.
Tipperary, October 21.—The trial of
the defendants indicted for conspiracy was
resumed before Magistrates Irwin and
Shannon today. One of the witnesses
who gave evidence yesterday for the Crown
testified that he had since been told that
hereafter his family would not be supplied
with milk. A discussion followed between
the counsel, in the course of which V. B.
Dillon, of the counsel for the defendants,
said he wished that the tribunal
before which the case was being
heard was a superior instead of a
magistrates court. If such was the case
he would charge Balfour with contempt of
court for his recent utterances at New
Castle.
Michael O’Brien, one of the defendants,
asked that a summons be issued against
Balfour compelling him to appear before
the court and state under oath what he
had said at New Castle. The court de
clined to issue the summons, declaring
it refused to be a medium for anything
illegal or improper.
David Sheehy, one of the defendants,
took part in the discussion and made re
marks which were construed by the
magistrates as contempt of court. He was
accordingly committed to jail for one
week.
A FRENCH DUEL.
IT HAS THE USUAL BLOODLESS TERMINA
TION.
Paris, October 21.—A duel between M.
Paul Deroulide and M. Reinach, growing
out of the debate in the Chamber of Depu
ties yesterday relative to the action of the
Government against the Boulangists, in
the course of which M. Deroulide insulted
M. Reinach by describing him as
“that lackey of all administrations,”
took place at an early hour this
morning. The weapons used were pis
tols. Twenty-five paces were marked off
by the seconds and the principals then
took their positions. At the word, M.
Reinach fired but his shot flew wide of its
mark. M. Deronlide did not fire. M.
Reinach* s seconds then proposed that the
duel be continued, but M. Deroulide de
clined to accede to the proposal.
A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
NARROW ESCAPE OF TWO FOREIGN IRON
MEN.
Nashville, Tenn., October 21.—A
special from Chattanooga, Tenn., says:
Two members of the British Iron and Steel
Institute had an experience here they will
never forget. They were walking over a
trestle on the summit of a mountain and
were caught by an approaching train. On
one side was a rock wall one hundred feet
high; on the other a precipice one hun
dred feet deep, and the ties too short to
stand on without being struck by the cars.
In their fearful dilemma they lay down as
far as the could get, but by the merest
chance the engine was stopped just before
it reached them.
AN IMMENSE REGISTRATION.
OPPOSING FACTIONS TRYING TO SHOW
FRAUD ON PART OF THE OTHER.
Chicago, October 21.—On the last day
of the registration about 50,000 new names
were put upon the lists. Since then both
parties have been earnestly at work trying
to show that the other had caused many
names to be fraudulently put upon the
rolls. The aggregate result, according to
an Independent morning paper, is that
about 25,000 notices, or one-half in num
ber of the new registration, have been sent
out calling on persons suspected of being
improperly registered to come forward and
establish their claims to the right to vote.
A FREIGHT TRAIN SMASHED UP.
Chicago, October 21.—A Daily News
special from Joliet, Ills., says that a col
lision occurred today on the Elgin, Joliet
and Eastern railroad between a freight
train and a construction train. Thos. L.
Allen,foreman of the construction gang, was
killed and eight others were injured. The
two engines and a dozen freight cars were
completely wrecked, and traffic on the
Santa Fe, as well as the Elgin, Joliet and
Eastern, was suspended for several hours.
j THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE VICTORY.
Yankton, S. D., October 21.—The
1 “original package” houses here have been
* reopened on the strength of the recent
j Kansas decision. The city officials will
! probably pass an ordinance licensing such
booses.
A YOUNG MAN WITH TOO MANY WIVES.
Atlanta, October 21.—[Special.]—Jim
McCleary, or Jim Robinson, a young
white man who claims to be a detective,
was arrested tonight on a. warrant from
Whitfield county charging him with big
amy. Two years ago McCleary as he was
then known, was in Dalton and met Miss
Saliie Mullenax, the daughter of a prom
inent citizen. Nothing came of it until
last month, when McCleary went back
there and asked for Miss Mullenax’s hand.
The stern father refused, but the daughter
did not heed parental injunctions, but
eloped with McCleary. They came to
Atlanta and lived together happily until
today, when McCleary was arrested. It
seems that the girl’s father claims that
McCleary’s real name is Robinson,and that
he has a wife and family at Cohuma
Springs. McCleary won’t talk.

Philadelphia, October 21.—The
committee on mines and mining of the
World’s Columbian Commission has or
ganized, and first stated meeting will be
held at Chicago November 27. It is pro
posed to have a building erected for the
display of the products of the mines of

proximate estimate for space desired.
THE LAST GAMES.
Louisville, October 21.—Louisville
defeated Brooklyn today in the best con
tested game of the series. Red Ehret was
in the box for Louisville and he was in
vincible. After the fourth inning the
heavy hitting Brooklyns could not touch
him. Louisville bunched their hits on
Lovett with men on the bases. The fea
ture of the game was the fielding of Smith
at short for Brooklyn and the catching
and second base playing of Ryan and Shin-
nick for Louisville. Today’s game was the
last to be played in Louisville. Both club3
leave for Brooklyn tonight. The attend
ance was 1,050.
Score—Louisville 5, base hits 9, errors

Batteries—Ehret and Ryan, Lovett and
Bushong.
FIFTY’ Y’EARS A PASTOR.
London, October 21.—Gladstone ad
dressed an audience of 5,000 persons in
the Corn Exchange at Edinburgh this eve
ning. Ireland, he said, continued to
eclipse all other subjects. The country
now fully recognized that the Irish ques
tions must be settled before others. The
opponents of Home Rule had hoodwinkad
and deluded their constituencies by pledg
ing themselves against coercion, promising
local government and expressing them
selves against granting large advances of
British money to buy out landlords.
Yet their first favorite meas
ure after gaining power was coercion.
Local government was vanishing in
thin air, and there was a proposal before
Parliament granting £40,000,000 to buy
out landlords. The Conservatives took
the credit for setting Ireland right by a
firm and resolute government. The ad
ministration of the law was worse than
the law itself. The state of things was
such that the Irish ought to hate the law,
though he would not say they ought to
break it. The Government itself was a
perfect pattern of illegality. Its methods
tended to provoke the people. Gladstone
then referred to the Tipperary affair. It
was grossly illegal, he said, to close the
doors of a court house against the people.
The appointment of Magistrate Shannan
to try the case was a gross scan
dal, not merely because he was an
executive officer, but also because he had
been involved in a serious personal alter
cation with Dillon. If such tricks were
played in England by the wantonness of
power, a very short way would be found
to remedy such abuse. After the exam
ples of police misconduct at Mitchelstown
and Tepperary, it was impossible to re
spect the police or the administration of
law by the police. Their brutality and
harshness sonstituted the crowning insult
of absenteeism, the grossest that could be
inflicted on the people at such a time.
Balfour appeared to feel that it was not a
part of the business of the Minister for
Ireland to reside there. Besides,
how many of them present knew
whether there was a Lord-Lieutenant of
Ireland or not? [Laughter.] Nobody heard
of him. The absenteeism, which was among
the lowest signs of degredation in the last
century, seemed now the constant habit
of the Irish Minister, flaunting his absence
in the face of the people. The Government
vaunted itself on peace in Ireland, yet kept
six times more policemen there than in
England and Scotland. The British tax
payers paid £1,600,000 yearly to the Irish
police, simply to assist in collecting rents
for landlords. English and Scotch land
lords met their tenants fairly, and had not
found it necessary to appeal for the
help of policemen to collect their
rents, yet British landlords had lost more
on rents than Irish landlords, and if the
Government would grant a general election
the state of public opinion would prove
that the country was won over to Home
Rule. Ou this great question of Ireland,
Gladstone concluded, the last of the for
tresses of bigotry and opression would go
down before the Liberal’s attack. Justice
to Ireland would rid them of an intolera
ble nuisance and deep disgrace, and would
gild with a glow brighter than that of any
'or’Her period the closing years of a glo
rious reign.
The speech was received with enthusias
tic cheers.
NAVAL CONSTRUCTION.
FIGHTING TOM WYNN
WHIPS A SLANDERER—THE MILITARY
DRILL Y’ESTERDAY.
Atlanta, October 21.—[Special.]—
Hon. Tom Winn, the Democratic nominee
in the Ninth, whipped a man in the big
road yesterday in an old fashioned give-
and-take, fair fist-and-skull fight.
The man he whipped is R. H. Duncan
of Gwinnett connty. Last week, it seems,
Duncan published an article in the Ball
Ground Independent charging Winn with
cowardice and neglect of duty in the war,
Winn first heard of this yesterday at a
picnic, where he had an appointment to
speak. He entirely refuted the charges by
calling on a number of his old comrades
in the Twenty-fonrth Georgia, each and
all of whom denounced the statement
(Duncan’s) as a malicious lie.
On the road to Buford, after the speak
ing, Winn met Duncan.
“Did you write that ?” demanded Winn,
producing the paper with the article refer
red to.
“Yes.”
“Will you back it?”
“Yes.”
Winn sprang from his buggy and the
two clinched. They were well matched
physically, but Winn’s “dander was up,”
and before many seconds he had his tra
ducer flat on his back in the big road, and
was pounding him manfully.
When Duncan “gave up” the next Con
gressman arose, picked up his hat and
dusted his clothes, and with a parting in
junction about any further repetition of
the slander, drove off in his buggy.
The fight was witnessed by several
people, and the politicians up there say it
made Winn 500 votes.
the military drill.
At the Exposition today, in the State
drill, the Floyd Rifles drilled first, and put
up a fair exhibition, but the work of the
Brunswick and Perry boys rather put the
Macon company in the shade. Brunswick
did beautifully, particularly in the field
movements, while Perry excelled in the
manual. To the inexperienced observer
the drills of these two were equally good,
and, so too, were they to experienced
eyes. The Perry boys were rather the fa
vorites, but the decision of the J udges
may be against them.
Tonight, Miss Effie Howell, who is
sponsor for the Fort Worth Fencibles, gave
an elegant reception in their honor at
Captain Howell’s home.
A MAYOR HEAVILY FINED.
Long Island City, October 21.—Mayor
Park J. Gleason, of this city, who was
convicted last week of assault in the third
degree upon Geo. R. Crawley, the Long
Island agent of the Associated Press, was
arraigned in the Queens County Court
here this morning and sentenced to five
days in the county jail and a fine of $250,
The Judge was very severe on Mayor
Gleason’s act. The court room was
crowded, and a burst of applause whicli
reeted the sentence was promptly sup
pressed by the court.
THE CHICAGO MARKET.
THE BUILDERS CROWDED—TRIAL OF THE
CONCOBD.
Washington, October 21.—The large
amount of naval construction now in the
hands of ship-building firms appears to be
somewhat embarrassing to builders in the
matter of obtaining supplies of material
which must be of domestic production.
The number of steel works that can pro
duce the large steel castings required to
carry out certain designs is exceedingly
limited, and they are pressed with stand
ing orders. So that Cramp has suggested
to the Navy Department that he be al
lowed to modify the designs for stern and
stem posts of armored cruiser No. 2 two
mammoth steel castings, in order to open
the field to other methods of
construction and hasten work upon the
vessel. The trial of the new gun boat
Concord, will take place early next week.
The Secretary of the Navy, today ap
pointed the following officers to the board
to conduct the trial: Captain, Silas Cas> y;
Commander, O. A. Batchellor; Comman
der, B. B. Bradford; Chief Engineers, A.
J. Keirsted, B. B. Wharton and Ralph
Ashton, aud Naval Conductor, W. II.
Varney. The requirements in the case of
the Condoru are severe. She is almost a
duplicate of the Yorktown now in service.
The Yorktown was designed to develop
3,000 horse power, but by strenuous exer
tion the builders managed to develop 3,400
horse power on her trial trip. This maxi
mum performance was then made a posi
tive requirement in the case of the Con
cord, which must consequently develop
3,400 horse power on the trial or lose to
the builders $100 for every horse power
lacking. On the other hand, if the require
ment is exceeded, the contractors will get
a bonus of $100 for every horse power
above 3,400 developed. If the new vessel
does as well as the Yorktown, she should
make a trifle over 16£ knots per hour over
a measured mile.

came to the relief of the bulls this morn

Middle and Western North Carolina.
Liverpool also seems to have heard of it.
That market, froth a cheaper opening,
turned to a dearer closing, and the bears
made a rush to cover. That soon run
prices up 6 to 8 points. Then it was
seen that no serious injury could result
from the frost reported. In fact, the time
has come when light frosts do good rather
than harm. Speculations fell off and
values slightly receded, but in the last
fifteen minutes there was a recovery to
best figures of the day. The weather re

Chicago, October 21.—A special from
Fort Dodge, la., says: A systematic

KKVIEW of SPECULATION IN THE GRAIN
AND PROVISION MARKETS.
Chicago, October 21.—Wheat—A good
business was transacted, the market at
times ruling active and at others a littie
more quiet. The feeling developed was
decidedly strong during the early part of
the session, when the demand was good
and not much wheat offered, bnt like yes
terday when the top prices were reached
considerable long wheat came on the
market, which had the effect of caus
ing a reaction. Some of the larger
operators who had been operating on the
bull side for the past few days, it was
claimed, had let go of their holdings. The
opening was | to [c higher than yester
day’s close, eased off f soon after opening,
then started upward, advancing | to 1c,
later became weak, declining j to lc, fluc
tuated and closed £ to fc higher than yes
terday.
Corn was active and excited, the market
ruling much stronger, limited offerings,
advanced l£c, reacted |c, ruled firmer and
closed 5-8 to jc gain.
Oats was active and higher than at any
previous time of the crop. The strength
and upward tendency was assisted by that
in the other markets; also by the free
purchasing by shorts, who paid no atten
tion to prices, so long as they got in. May

advanced l£c. For a time the market
held firm at outside, but generally eased

Mess Pork—Brisk buying in the early
part of the session, and an advance of 15
to 20c was gained, but toward the close
the advance was lost, the closing figures
being about 2£ to 5c lower than on Mon
day.
Lard—Only a moderate trade reported;
2£ to 5c higher, and the market closed
steady at inside figures.
Short Rib Sides—Quite a good trade was
reported, which advanced ‘21 to 5c, but
during the latter part of the session prices
receded 7£ to 10c.
VICTIM OF RELIGIOUS MADNESS.
Danville, Va., October 21.—The ven- porting to come from the Secretary of
erable Dr. George A. Dame, rector of the State of the original package dealers
church of Epiphany, tonight celebrated association. The name signed to the cir-
the fiftieth anniversary of his pastoral con- cnlar was that of a prominent Council
a sick woman baptized in bed, and
dies from the effects.
Perry, Mich., October 21.—Last Sum
mer William Fillinger and his wife, who
live three miles from here, attended a se
ries of revivals and became religion-mad
in a mild way. With them lived Fil-
linger’s mother, who has long been
physically frail. It worried Fil
linger and his wife that the elder
woman was unbaptized, and yesterday
they decided that the necessary religious
rite should be performed, although the
poor woman was confined to her bed un
able even to rise.
Taking water to her room, they began
the ceremony by dashing water in her
face, and continued it until, from shock
and exhaustion, their victim died. Fillin
ger and his wife were arrested and taken
to jail at Corunna.
THE CONSOLIDATION EMPHATICALLY
DENIED.
New York, October 21.—Touching a
dispatch from Chicago received in this
city today to the effect that the consolida
tion of the Adams and United States Ex
press Company had been agreed upon,
Superintendent Iloey, of the Adams Ex
press Company, said: “There is positively
not a word of truth in the report in ques
tion.” The Officials of the United States
Company were equally emphatic in deny
ing the rumor.
ENORMOUS SALARIES
TO BE PAID TO THE WORLD’S
FAIR OFFICIALS.
SECRETARY WINDOM CALLS ATTENTION
TO THEIR UNKEASONARLE PRO
PORTIONS—THEY ARE AB
SORBING TIIE GOVERN
MENT APPROPRI
ATION.
Chicago, October 21.—An afternoon
paper publishes an abstract of a letter re
ceived by President Palmer, of the Na
tional World s Columbrian Commission
from Secretary Windom in regard to the
expenses of the Commission. The Secre
tary first states that of the $1,500,000 ap
propriated, $400,000 must be used in the
construction of the Govern nent building,
leaving $1,100,000 for other expenses.
For the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1891,
there is appropriated jointly $200,000 for
the expenses of the Commission and the
uses of the Government Board of Con
trol. The Government Board has esti
mated that it will need $50,000,
leaving $150,000 for the use of the com
mission. The Secretary then shows that,
in salaries for officers and other expenses!
the commission lias disposed of $90,000 of
this $150,000, and that the expenses of the
meetings of the executive committee uow
in session, and of the meeting of the com
mission to be held on November 15, will
bring the total up to $110,000, leaving
only $40,000 to ruu the commission on
from that date till June 30, 1891. Con
tinuing, the Secretary says: In consider
ation of the foregoing showing of expenses,
I have hesitated as to the approval
of the resolutions of the commission
fixing the salaries of its officers as de
scribed in articles 15 and 16 of your by
laws. The act of April 23,1890, referred
to, makes the Secretary of the Treasury
and your Commission jointly responsible
for the proper and reasonable expenditure
of the sum appropriated by Congress for
the furtherance of the provisions of the
act. It does even more than that, for it
imposes upon the Secretary the necessity
of exercising proper discretion in approv
ing the compensation fixed by your Com
mission for its officers. It is fair to
presume that Congress intended
by this last mentioned pro
vision of the law to prevent the giving
of what might be termed unreasonable
compensation for any of the officers of the
Commission. But in arriving at this de
termination the Secretary of the Treasury
must take into consideration the opera
tions of this representative body of men.
It appears from your records, as before
stated, that the Commission lias unani
mously agreed that the officers named
should be paid the compensation stated
(the President of the Commission $12,000.
the Secretary $10,000, the Director-Gen
eral $15,000, the Vice-Chairman of the ex
ecutive committee $8,000, the employes
in the offices of the Secretary and Direc
tor-General $10,000). If I were to give my
individual opinion on this subject, unin
fluenced by the act of your commission,
would not hesitated to decide
that the amount named by your commis
sion for salaries for its principal officers is
greater than that probably contemplated
by Congress iu estimating the amount
necessary to carry out the provisions of the
act. The amount of money already ex
pended, ami the expenditures in contem
plation by your commission prior to Jan
uary 1 next, contemplate so large an
amount that it presents an additional rea
son why I should not approve of
the compensation named, were
alone responsible for the
penditure. You will observe that your
salary list for the years 1891, 1892 and
1893 will, without further increase of em
ployes, amount to $165,000, or about one
seventh of the entire sum of money, out
side of the cost of the Government build
ings, whicli is fixed as the limit
expenditures growing out of the exposi
tion. 1 have grave doubts, in view of
facts as herein stated, whether 1 ought not
to return the resolutions submitted by
your commission for revision as to the
amount of compensation to be paid to
your officers. On the other hand, I dis
like extremely to set up my own personal
views in opposition to those of the
members of the commission who
are more familiar with the
matter at issue than myself. I therefore
reluctantly approve articles 15 and 16 of
your bill, and beg leave to suggest in this
connection that great care be exercised in
authorizing further expenditures, to the
end that your commission may not create
a deficiency for the ensuing fiscal year.
Respectfully yours,
William Windom, Sec’y.
Immediately after this communication
was read before the executive committee,
Commissioner Martindale offered a resolu
lion, which was adopted, declaring that all
standing committees be instructed not to
meet before the next session of the Com
mission, unless directed by the President.
Five standing committees had asked the
executive committee to meet, hut none of
them will be authorized by the President.
SITUATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
BLOODSHED FEARED BEFORE ELECTION
AS ALL CLASSES ARE AROUSED.
Charleston, October 21.—The situ
ation in South Carolina, from a
political standpoint, is decidedly pecu
liar. Everybody is talking politics,
and the people are wraught up to a
high pitch of excitement. The excitement
is confined to no class nor to anv partic
ular section of the State. ' It is
general throughout the whole State
and affects both races. The few days
now remaining before the general
election in November bid fair to be days
well filled with bitterness and even blood
shed. The leaders of the opposing factions
are hard at work, and neither side will
leave a single stone unturned to insure
victory.
MISSING SINCE THE HOTEL FIRE.
M. H. HARTWELL, OF WESTCHESTER, SUP
POSED TO HAVE PERISHED
AT SYRACUSE.
Syracuse, N. Y., October 21.—Mrs. M.
II. Hartwell, of Westchester county, N.Y.,
is in this city looking for her husband, M.
H. Hartwell, who was a guest at the hotel
on the night of the fire. Mrs. Hartwell
came here Wednesday night to meet her
husband, who intended to finish a trip
here, and they were to go home together.
She was stopping here with a friend on
Harrison street, where her husband visited
her Wednesday evening. He was slightly
under the influence of liquor, ami so she
persuaded him to return to the Leland
Hotel for the night. That was the night
of the tire, and Mrs. Hartwell lias not seen
or heard from him since Hartwell trav
eled for a Providence, It. 1., firm.
QUEBEC WILL HONOR THE COUNT.
Quebec, October 21.—The citizens of
Quebec have decided to present an ad

sion of his visit to this city Monday next,
and also to give a grand banquet in his
honor.
THREATENING A BREAD RIOT.
Dublin, October 21.—A crowd of farm
ers and laborers at Schull besieged the
Board of Gardians today demanding work
dr bread on account of the failure of the
potato crop. The Biard replied that the
law does not permit out-door relief.

Dublin, October 21.—Balfour. Chief

PUBLIC COMFORT.
A TORPEDO BOAT SUNK.
AN ITALIAN VESSEL BURSTS HER BOILER
AT SEA.
Rome, October 21.—The loss of the
Italian torpedo boat, which left Naples for
Spezzia some time ago is comfirmed. She
burst her boiler and foundered at sea.
Three officers and fifteen sail
ors were drown :d. 1 he loss of
the Italian torpedo boat will tend
to strengthen the growing opinion that
this type of war craft is far from sea
worthy. Within the past two years two
cases of similar fovndering have occuned,
and though, in neither instance, was the
boat of the large sea-going ciass, they at
least demonstrated the danger of sending
any but first-class boats to sea. The term
class applies to the size of the vessel, and
in no wise refers to wormanship, etc.
It would seem that the smaller boats
lack weight and consequent hold on the
water which is necessary to obtain a hold
on the sea. Engines may be ever so pow
erful, but in a small vessel their strength
becomes insufficient wlien battling against
heavy seas. If torpedo boats are required
to make long runs they should at least be
furnished with good sea anchors, which,
when thrown overboard, will enable ves
sels to keep head on to the waves.

Opens November 5. Closes November
15.
The great Chattahoochee Valley Expo
sition is now near at hand and in sixteen
days the gates will be thrown open to the
public.
The directors met yesterday afternoon
and found the affairs of the Exposition in
splendid shape. All of the departments of
the great show are well in hand and tin-
directors are elated over the prospects of
having the most perfect and attractive Ex
position ever witnessed in Georgia or Ala
bama.
Judging from reports from all sections
plenty of people will come to Columbus to
see the Exposition. This makes the ques
tion of public comfort an important one,
and it is a matter that is receiving the
careful attention of the directors.
The hotels ami boarding houses will all
be full of people, and a large number of
private citizens have already expressed
their willingness to open their homes to
the entertainment of guests. Others who
can provide homes for the visitors during
the Exposition are requested to communi
cate with Secretary Grimes as early as
possible.
Those who contemplate visiting Colum

uneasiness about securing food and lodg
ings at reasonable rates. There will tie no'
gauging, so none need remain at home

modations.

To the Democracy of the Fourth Con
gressional District:
The State election is over, and much
feeling has been manifested in some comi
ties; but really it was a canvass between
men of the same party, and there was not
much involved except personal preference.
But uow another election is near al hand,
one in which much is involved, not of
persciialisin, hut of principles—measures
not men.
Questions of national importance are
before us. Particularly is the South in
terested, and it behooves every Democrat
to see to it that every Democratic vote is
polled for the Democratic nominee in No
vember, and that the Hon. C. L. Moses,
nominee in the Fourth Congressional dis
trict, be elected to the Fifiy-second Con
gress by such an overwhelming majority
that the Republicans cannot, nor Boss
Reed dare not, turn him out in case of a
contest, even though the next House
should be Republican.
Fellow-countrymen, raliy to the sup[Kirt
of your Democratic standard-bearer, the
nominee of your party. Maintain the
principles handed down to us trom the
foundation of our free Government. Rally
to your and your country's interest; reflect
upon the infamous measures already put
upon us by the Republicans, and the still
more infamous oues likely to he, urile.-s
the next House should have enough Demo
crats to prevent it. The scenes just after
the late war are likely to be re-enacted if
the Lodge bill is passed. Millions of your
hard earned money is paid out to pension
Northern people, but not one dollar to the
•South. Lay aside your prejudices
and any personal feeling in the matter,
and support your nominee by an active
merest in his behalf. You may have pre
ferred and supported some one else in your
primary election, and feel sore because
vour man was not nominated, but remem
ber what the result is likely to be if you
lo not come squarely up and support the
nominee and induce others to do so. Our
enemies are not idle, but active. Let us
lie vigilant and more than ready to meet
them.
Let every executive committeeman in
each county be wide awake to his duty.
You are selected for this purpose, and I
do not believe you will fail. Let every
newspaper in the Fourth Congressional
district speak out. Do not be silent, hut
urge upon the people the importance of a
full vote. Democratic success means a free
and honest government; Republican success
means anything but an honest govern
ment. It means oppression of the people
for the benefit of a few already rich: it
means fraud and corruption, and last but
not least, that the baiiot box shall be
controlled by the worst element of tIn-
Republican party, protected by Uniled
•States bayonets. Democrats, tin your duly,
and see that every Democratic vote is
polled. B. F. McLaughlin,
Chairman Democratic Executive Com
mittee Fourth Congressional District.
