2 MI’ANUTTCK IN KLOlilll.A THU HEADERS AND THE DARK HORSE GROOMERS CONFIDENT. Bloxham Holds the Lead in Two Out of the Three Ballots Taken Yesterday - List of the Most Prominent of the Dark Horses—The State Printing. Tallahassee, Fla., April 14.—The Democratic members of the legislature met Jn joint caucus in the Assembly 1ml; to-night. lEighty-eiglit were present and only two absent, those being Speaker Pasco and Mr. Perry of Key West. Balloting for United States Senator at once begun ith the fol lowing result: (hi the first ballot: Bloxham 33 Perry * Mallory 2 Finley 3 .Turnbull ■ ■ 2 Jllillei 8 Beam-ring 1* The second ballot stood: Bloxham 3* Ferrv 33 Finley •'> McWhorter 8 walker, Jr 2 Scattering 8 The third ballot was: Bloxham .83 Perry 31 Finley 2 Mallory 1 McWhorter 3 Scattering 14 Tlie greatest excitement prevailed during the balloting, and the result of each count was hailed with wild cheering inside and outside the hall. CLOSED BALLOTS. The vote was taken by closed ballot, and all outsiders were rigidly excluded. At the conclusion of the third ballot the cau<Tis Bdiom ned amid great excitement, the friend of bo(ji leading candidate claiming victory, while the advocates fora third man are jubi lant and look for the nomination of a dark horse to-morrow night. The general impres sion is that Gov. Bloxham will gain steadily Dow that he is ahead, and Tallahassee exults Ever his bright prospects. The equal strength pf Govs. Perry and Bloxham encourages ■wild talk as to possiDle third men, and many 4&re guessed at. THK FIRST VOTING A SURPRISE. 'l’lie vote for Senator in the Democratic caucus Tuesday night was quite a surprise lo nearly everybody. It was expected that fGt>v. Bloxham and Gov. Perry would be tut equal in strength, but no one seems to nave expected so many votes for a third (rum. The resolution to vote by ballot avoided all publicity even among most inti- Jjnatr friends, and it is impossible to know 'who voted for the different men. Among those mentioned as jtossible selec tions should Gov. Bloxham and Gov. Perry fboth fail, are Hon. Samuel Pasco, of Jeffer tuni; Gen. Jesse J. Finley, who now has the place under apt (ointment from Gov. Perry; iCbl. John A. Henderson, of lieon; State fSenator S. R. Mallory, of Pensacola, and 'Akin gross man Davidson, of Quincy. LEGISLATION NEGLECTED. The election of a Senator has so much oe •nipied the time and attention of the inem fcjers that little or no important legislat ion lias been attempted. The matter of State printing is much talked of, and it is quite Certain that ala w will be enacted giving the printing to the lowest responsible bidder, feuid if a State printer is elected it will be the tnan with the lowest bid. There are xmlv two or three offices in the State that could possibly do the printing of the State arid one of those will probably have it, wither directly or indirectly through another. Railroad men are here in large numbers, ami the committees charged with all rail |Tß:d legislation are eagerly sought after and all manner of suggestions and proposi tions relative to the proper nature of rail road bills are made by those most nearly (interested in the several roads, as well as by those who represent the shipping public and property owners, along the line of the roads. A commission bill is almost, sure to be en acted, but the nature of its provisions ‘xantiot well be anticipated at this juncture. THE SENATE’S PRESIDENT PRO TEE. To-day Senator John W. Wbidden, of .Manatee county, was unanimously elected pro tern, of the Seriate. President. Mabry appointed committees to ■visit the State Asylum at Chattahoochee, and the convict camp at Live I lak. Bills making conviction of infamous crime aground for divorce, and also compelling rail roads to fence their tracks, were considered nil second reading, and, after being freely khscussed, were advanced on the calendar. . The Senate accepted the invitation of the rHotise to attend the religious services in the SAaK'Tubly hall, where Rev. Culpepperpreach ed to a large crowd of ladies, citizens and jmembers. ; After the services the Senate resumed its routine duties and worked till 0 o'clock. Senator Wall introduced a bill extending Jin corporate limits of Tampa. , . Mr. Stevens introduced a bill to make payment of the capitation tax a prerequisite to voting. In the absence of Speaker Pasco the House auras called to order by Chief Clerk Reynolds. Mr. Hicks, of Franklin, was then unani mously chosen Speaker pin tem. of theJHouse and business proceeded until 11 o'clock, when, by imitation, religious services were Opened in the hall The afterrioon session was short, and the erne was spent in talking over the election I p.

GEORGIA'S CAPITAL. Supreme Court Decisions Prohibition and Insurance Issues. Atlanta. Oa., April 11.—The following St re.,ie < "iirt divisions were handed down to-day: Samuel Shannon vs. A. R. Arnold’s estate; from Douglass. Affirmed. J. J. Cox vs. H. 11. Reeves; from Pike. Reversed. Joseph H. Earle, Attorney General of South Carolina, had an interview with the Governor to-dnv on the Blackwood case. Some time back an Augusta policeman went into South Carolina alter A. F. Blackwood, charged with forgery in Augusta, and brought him buck without,a requisition. The South Carolina authorities claim that it was a case of kidnapping, and correspond ence has been carried on between the Gov ernor’s of the two States without any definite result. Attorney General Earle on me here to-day, under the instructions of t.h Governor of South Carolina, to reach a satisfactory agreement for Blackwood's re turn. Tito result of the conference to-day is that, Attorney (funerals Anderson and Earle wili meet in Augusta soon and give the mat ter a thorough legal investigation, and it is thought in that way an arrangement may 1* effected compatible with the dignity of both Slates. A PROHIBITION CASE. An interesting prohibition ease was argued in the Supreme Court to-day from Monroe county. Monroe is dry under a special act, which permits physicians to furnish liquor to patients. Recently the Town Council of Forsyth passed an ordinance requiring phy sicians to file with the clerk every fifteen days a list, of patients and list, of persons who had been furnished whisky. The rhysieians applied for a writ to restrain the 'ouncil from enforcing the ordinance, claim ing it unconstitutional, because it would re quire a physician to furnish evidence which would subject him to criminal prosecution ami punishment, and because it would vio late the confidential relations between phy sician and patient. The writ was refused in the court below. AN INSURANCE COMPANY’S LICENSE. The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Insurance Association, of New York, whose license was revoked 1 localise it failed to file a semi annual statement, has applied for reinstate ment, claiming exemption under the act of lent. The case wili in- argued before the Attorney General, and if he decides against it the company will apply for a mandamus to compel the Comptroller to issue a license. Chief Fernandez, of the Savannah Fire Department, is here to-day, and in company with Chief Joyner visited'and inspected the Atlanta department, of which ho speaks in very complimentary terms.

There is no clue to the identity of the robbers. The State (,'ommittee of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association met to day with a large attendance. The discus sion was mainly on the rate on iron. To morrow the managers of leading Georgia factories will appear before the committee in reference to the rate on cotton piece goods.

Bloomington, 111., April 14.- -The drought tliroughout central Illinois, to gether with tl-.e grant and continuous heat, is unprecedented. Nothing like il has been known for a great many years. It lias not rained for six weeks and then but little fell, not enough 10 fairly break the usual vvinti r drought. The thermometer has registered nearly it) dogs, in the shade daily. Many farmers are obliged to haul water for their stock, and the pastures furnish little nour ishment. Home farmers arc still feeding. Except that the trees are leafless, the country presents the aspect of August. The fields are so dry that it is next to impossible to harrow, owing to the clouds of dust. The oat crop is very backward, some fields not growing. Tile drainers are stopping their flow of water. The farmers are beginning to plant corn nearly three weeks ahead of time. Ho far crops have not been injured, except grass, and if a heavy rain should fail this week the prospect would b<- excellent. LOST FROM A TUG.

New York, April 14. —A movement is on foot among the bondholders of the Florida Railway and Navigation Company to assess the stock for the purpose of taking up the receiver’s certificates and paying off the ac crued interest.

One night a negro who worked about the yard was noticed acting suspi ciously by the officers. 11" was arrested, and when locked up and ' >!d that he must tell what ho knew al - at it. made ft dean Breast of the affair, and revealed just such an organization as that on the Pan Handle road. Engaged in the stealing were an en gineer, the depot office watchman, the yard master and some fifteen or twenty men on various trains. Having discovered the or ganization C'upt. Brant,lv and the officers quietly arrested the oili--e"watchman, and he also told of the gang. The arrest of thirteen men soon followed, and then came a partial recovery of the stolen goods. It was developed that the engineer who was at the head of the gang, lieing a ma chinist, had made a number of keys which wore furnished to his associates. The ear doors were not sealed in those days, and ■with the keys it was an easy matter to un lock the doors, The ears were robbed be tween Savannah and Macon, between Au gusta and Macon, and along the Southwest ern railroad, Americus and Smithville lieing favorite points. At each point where a car was robbed the men bad "fences,” or per sons to receive the stolen goods. Those of the gang who robbed cars at Macon buried most of their treasure and sold it by piece meal. It was at the close of the war, and there were people who were not over partic ular as to where goods came from so long as tliey were sold at low figures. When the men were arrested Capt. Brant ly and the officers went to work to fasten the guilt upon them. The watchman who confessed told that his booty was at home under the bed, and the officers found n sack of coffee, flour, meat, candies and various articles of like character. The other men would not give themselves away, and the officers were forced to find the goixls them selves. With a steel ramrod they visited the homes of the various men and began the search. They would force the ramrod into the ground, and wherever it would strike a hard substance there they would dig. They went one night to the home of one of the men and were about to give up the search when they decided that probably the right spot was under a huge pile of wood. They removed the wood in a couple of hours and then used the ramrod. Is struck something hard, and then the spade was brought into use. They found a couple of boxes of fine tobacco and eighteen boxes of cigars. These cigars were of the “Nebadjo” brand, and wore handled in this section by only one house, that of Greer & Lake. The firm had recently made a ship ment and they bad been listed on the train on which some of the arrested men were working. The officers found at a store in Macon a lot of shoes that had been stolen from a car in the yard, and among them Mas an odd shoe of a certain number and make. Capt. Brantly went to Atlanta and after much difficulty found a quantity of the stolen goods, among them some shoes which were identified as lieing a portion of the lot in Macon by the first shoe found. The shoes had been sold by one of the train men. It was also developed that members of the gang did not always use the keys to unlock the cars in the Macon yards. This, perhaps, was because there was a constant watch on their movements. The yard master located a barrel of whisky, for instance, in a car. That night a hole was bored through the bottom of the car and into the barrel, and the whisky was carried off in buckets. Of the thirteen men arrested nine were sent to the penitentiary. Howell Cobb, Judge Jackson, and a numlier of leading lawyers of the State were engaged in the defense. Harris & Hunter, of Macon, were employed to assist the Solicitor General in the prosecution.

YOUNG.—The friends and aequaiiitaiiee of Mrs. Maria Young and Mr. and Mrs. .1 I). Uainp- Infil and family, are invited to attend the funeral of Mr. R. i‘. Young ai the First African Baptist Uhnivb. at 10 o'clock THIS M< i N ( . OBITI IHY. MRS. SARAH E. LAM(>TTK, Who entered into rest after intense sufferings from cancer for several mouths, at Savannah, on the 4th day of April, 1887. She was a daughter of the late Thomas Arden,, ami was born in Beaufort. S. C., January 20th 1881, where she resided until her marriage with ,T. W. Lamotte, when she removed to his home in Charleston, S. C. At the close of the war she came with her husband to Savannah, where she reared an interesting family, and where her use ful and devoted life was ended. The deeply religious nature which so distin guished her life was manifested in early girl hood, and developing rapidly into a mature Christian character, she became an earnest and unwavering Catholic, firmly and intensely de voted to her faith, yet cultivating a charity which was broad enough to embrace in its sym pathy and acts all who needed its exercise in their l>eljalf. Hers was a life given up to promote the com fort and happiness of others, and she illust rated in every phase of her experience the character of the dutiful daughter, the faithful and affec tionate sister, wife and mother, and the consist ent and devoted disciple of her Lord and master. She so fulfilled the duties of a comparatively humble sphere* in life as to show' that it afforded large possibilities and opportunities for useful ness. and that all its relations could be made brighter and happier by the infusion into them of the inpek ami gentle spirit of Christianity. Her patient and uncomplaining endurance of sufferings during the earlier encroachments of the terrible disease, and her indomitable devo tion to all her domestic, social and religious du ties. even when the struggle became a mortal one, was a beautiful attestation of the Christian womanhood with which she was endowed. Of her no eulogy could be more appropriate than the words spoken by the Master or another of her self-sacrificing sisters. “She hath done what she could." and her loving ministrations to the needy and the distressed, and her tender and unobtrusive acts of charity and benevolence will be long held in sacred remembrance “for a memorial of her * by many who w ere the recip ients of her kindness. Such a life could only result from a deeply re ligious character, patterned after that of her di vine Lord and Master, and its end, however full of anguish to the loving hearts who are compell ed to see the grave close over all that was mor tal of such a sister, wife, mother and friend, is yet luminous with the faith and hope which beams forth in the assurance, ‘*l am the resur rection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and who soever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." “Lord, we can trust thee for our holy dead: They, underneath the shadow of thy tomb, Have entered into peace; with bended ht*ad We thank thee for their rest, and for oui* light ened gloom. “But Lord, our living, who on stormy seas Of sin and sorrow still are tempest-tossed: Our dead have reached their haven, but for these Teach us to trust thee, Lord, for these, our loved and lost. I '' L. BURROUGHS.—Entered into peaceful rest, on the morning of April Bth, 1887, Eugenia Ashby, daughter of the late Marshall M. and Lucy Ashby', of Virginia, and beloved wife of (Hilaries J. Burroughs, of this city. Peace—rest—God's blessed rewards to the faithful worker in His vineyard. In every part of life, to every one with whom she came in contact, her duty was nobly done, and with such bright cheerfulness that whenever she came the sunshine entered with her. It seemed im possible to be where she was without catching a ray of her brightness. She was a sincere Christian, a devoted daugh ter, a true, loving wife and mother, a firm and sincere friend—vea. none who knew her can recall a single duty left unfulfilled. She was a woman of great depth of character, and pos sessed to a remarkable degree that rarest of all virtues, perfect unselfishness. To care for others was the unceasing pleasure of her life, and even to the end. though ner illness was long and pain ful, her incessant thought was not of her own sufferings, but of the comfort of those around her. Surely it was of a life such as hers, kept so purely, so entirely for her Master's use, that our Lord said: “Whosoever loseth his life for My sake shall find it, 11 and the simple, child like spirit that called fort h the remark, “Of such is tne Kingdom of Heaven." V bereaved husl>and and five little children survive her loss, but they have Clod's promise to flip children of His faithful servants, and He will keen them safely for Tlis own till they shall be together "Numbered with His saints in glory everlasting."
