QA-IjXj -A-HSTXD S^EIHj 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. OHIO’S BRAVE GOVERNOR PUTS THE IRON IN A TRUCKLING LEGISLATURE. Cincinnati’s corrupt board must be 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. James E. Campbell, Governor of Ohio. Executive Chamber, October 21, 1890. THE TIPPERARY CONSPIRACY. BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS. 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. IRELAND'S CHAMPION. THE GRAND OLD MAN ON THE STUMP. GLADSTONE ADDRESSES A GREAT MULTI TUDE FOR HOME RULE—ABSENTEE ISM DENOUNCED — SHARP CRITICISM OF THE TIP PERARY OUTRAGE. ROBBED BY PICKPOCKETS. THEY WERE CIRCUS BUMMERS—A TRACK MAN KILLED. Birmingham, October 21.—[Special.]— Henry W. Morgan, en route from Kansas City to Charleston, S. C., was met by two pickpockets as he was leaving the train this morning and robbed- of $110, two tickets and a baggage check. The rob bers, who were following the Forepaugh show, escaped. Sid Lee, a trackman on the Georgia Pacific, fell between moving cars fifty miles from here today and was killed. ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY. AN Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889. Baking Powder ABSOLUTE!* PURE interesting tilt between 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. THE LOUISVILLE RACES. Louisville, October 21.—First race— Five furlongs; Penny Royal won, Carmen second, One Dime third. Time 1:04. * Second race—Six furlongs, heats; Josie M won first heat, Daniel second, Mary Mac third.

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 the world, and John W. Woodside, of Philadelphia, member of the committee, representing the Middle and New Eng land States, has issued a circular reqnsst- ing all owners of mines or quarries of man ufacturers of mining machinery and ap pliances, who desire floor or wall space for proposed exhibits should communicate with £him at 924 Arch street, Phil adelphia, prior to November 15, with ref erence to character of exhibits and an ap 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 2. Brooklyn 4, base hits 7, 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. sun’s cotton review. New York, October 21. — Futures opened at 1 to 3 points advance, closing at 6 to 8 points advance from yesterday’s closing prices, and steady. Jack Frost came to the relief of the bulls this morn ing. A killing frost was reported from 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 ports from the South were a littie moved without special features. Spot cotton was quiet but about steady. to bring it back to legal life. Chicago, October 21.—A special from Fort Dodge, la., says: A systematic scheme on the part of the liquor men of Iowa to bring back the original package to legal life has been discovered in this city. A number of men who were openly engaged in the original package business last summer received circulars pur- 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 was active and opened J- to jc higher, and advanced l£c. For a time the market held firm at outside, but generally eased off £c and finally|closed with a net gain of f to lc. 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.

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.

LET EVERY CITIZEN OF COLUMBUS no HIS PART. 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 bus during the Exposition need feel no uneasiness about securing food and lodg ings at reasonable rates. There will tie no' gauging, so none need remain at home trom fear of not being aide to find accom modations. Mr. Wardlaw has secured the privilege for barbecued meats, and there will lie no trouble in securing lunches on thegrounds. Mr. Wardlaw is a famous harbecuer. an address. 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. Greenville, Ga., October 18, 1890.
