The headquarters were established at Brown’s Hotel, and at an early hour this morning the rotunda was crowded and Jammed. At 10:30 o’clock the boys formed at Brown's Hotel and, headed by Card’s brass baud, marched to “the Academy of Music. The building presented a beautiful sight, having been profusely ornamented and decorated with flowers.

J. R. Winchester, rector of Christ Episcopal church, who delivered a short, but earnest and touching prayer. Card’s string band next rendered “Mit Lust u Leive Galop,” by Kpnst. The chairman then introduced J. F. Hanson, of Macon, who, he said, was one of tlic best known men in Georgia, and who needed no eulogy from him. NO DRONES IN THE T. P. A. HIVE. Mr. Hanson, in a fifteen minutes’ speech, welcomed the Travelers’ Protective Asso ciation to Macon in most eloquent and hearty terms. He expressed sympathy for the members and paid glowing tributes to them as a body and individually, saying that their position was one of useful ness and responsibility. “There were no drones among the T. P. A.’s;” the circum stances surrounding their business prevented this.

RAILROADS AT OUTS. Charges Against the Pennsylvania Company for Violation of the Law. Washington, May 23. —Before the In terstate Commerce Commission to-day William Brown, in behalf tho Chicago and Alton Railroad Company, filed charges against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany of a violation of the interstate act. Recharged specifically that the Pennsylvania Company had unlawfully given preference and advantage to the Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy linilroud Company in the interchange of passengers at Chicago, and denied to tho Chicago and Alton reasonable facilities for the inter change ot the passenger traffic. Mr. Brown also tiled in lie ha If of tint Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad similar charges against the New York Central and the Hud son River Railroad Company. The com mission after hearing his statements entered an order for the com]ianies against which the complaints are made to appear and make answer hi ten days. A PROTEST AGAINST CLAUSE FOUR. The commission has recieved a communi cation from the Mississippi Railroad Com pany, protesting against section 4. Their protest is based upon tho following reasons: “First. Because the permanent suspension of the section referred to would emasculate the law to such an extent as to render it almost nugatory and thereby defeat the purpose of Congress. “Second. Because the enforcement of this section would, in our opinion, be a great relief to the small towns of the country' and the people who live along the lines of rail roads and away from trade centres. This is our opinion, as a class standing in need of protection against the unjust and oppressive exactions of railroad corporations.” CINCINNATI'S DERBY. Libretto Come in First With a Record ot 2:38 3-4. Cincinnati. May 23.—One of the finest assemblages ever seen on the Latonia course was present at the opening meeting to-day. This is accounted for mainly by the fact the Latonia Derby was to Vie run and that Montrose, a Cincinnati horse, was to contest for it against Jim Gore. First Race - Six furlongs. Mamie Hunt won. with Governor Roberts second and Linda Payne third. Time 1:17. Second Race— Seven furlongs. Malaria won, with Bowling second and Brilliant third. Time 1:31. Third Race— One mile. Jacobin won, with Ex toll* second and Long Slipper third. Time ForßTn Race—Five furlongs. Buckhound won, with Balance second and Santalene third. Time IM4\4. The last and great event of the day, the Latonia Derby, was set for 5:15 p. m. Five minutes after'that hour the horses were at the jKist. Montrose was, as a matter of course, the favorite because, he is a Cincin nati horse, and also because he won the Louisville Derby, but Jim Gore had many friends. Poteen delayed the start by all manner of vicious tricks. A PRETTY START. At last the start was made, with Poteen in the lead, Montrose second, Jim Gore third, Libretto fourth, aud Bixby last. At the third quarter Lewis had put Montrose in the lead, as if it was his purpose to repeat his Louis ville tactics. Jim Gore pursued him closely, with Poteen in third place and Libretto and Bixby in their same order. Before the end of the mile Jim Gore gained upon Montrose, and as they started upon the last half mile thousands of shouts proclaimed Gore's vic tory. He passed Montrose and the favorite’s colors went down. But Li bretto moved up with apparent ease and ns though without an effort, led down the stretch, with Jim Gore fol lowing and losing distance, though under punishment. Montrose was so bad a third that he was not even whipped. Poteen and Bixley straggled in at the last. The stakes were worth $4,890. Libretto, tho winner, belongs to F. B. Harper. The first quarter was made in 27, the half in 52, the three-quarters in 1:18 1-2, the mile in 1:45, aud the mile and a half in 2:38 Jf. Sam Jones Answers Questions. From the Kansas City I'imee. A gentleman who recently met Sam Jones on a railway train repeats part of the con versation as follows: Said l: “Adam and Eve were the first two people on earth. According to the Bible they had two sons —Cain and Abel. Cain slew Abel and then fled into the land of Noil and took unto himself a wife. Adam anil Eve, the first Cain and Abel, next Cain fled. We understand from fled’ that he ran and got away from his awful crime as quickly as his legs would carry him. Then,” I con tinued, excitedly, “right in the same sen tence the Bible says he took unto himself a wife. Where did she come from?” I sank back, thinking I hail given him a poser. His eyes twinkled, his lips parted in a smile. “An’ nnry one of them preachers could tell vou?” he asked. “No, sir; not one.” “Well,” he continued, “that’s funny, for that’s a mighty easy question.” He smiled again, and said: “Why, Cain got his wifo from his father-in-law.” I was done up. “Where is hell that you preachers talk so much about!” I asked. “I ilunno,” ho said. “I don’t want to know. I ain’t heading that way. I’m going to let them fellers as are going thar find out. ” “What's your idea of backsliders?” “Well,” he said, “thar was a man walkin’ along a country lane in Arkansas once with a pitchfork on his shoulder, and a verv vi 'ious dog jumped over the fence and made at him. He jabbed tin- pitchfork through the dog and impaled it to the earth. The dog’s owner come runnin’ out: ’What d'ye mean, sir,' he shouted, ‘by stickin’ yo’ pitch fawk through my dog?’ ’ ‘He was gotn’ to bite me,’ said the other. ‘YYTiy didn’t vou hit him with the other end, thenf ‘Why didn't he come nt mo with the other end?’ was the answer.” After I had ceased laughing the Rev. Mr. Jones said: “Just like the dog, backsliders are goin’ wrong end to and consequently get into trouble.” A Cool French Murderess. From Galo/nani's J/isscni/cr. A young woman has just been sentenced at Bt. Lomard to hard labor for life for the murder of her husband, a farmer named Fourcault, only 28 years old, who died after a few days’ illness. At the trial it was shown that, the farmer recently summarily dismissed a young servant named Aileron, a i>oy only 15 years old, whom he had found indulging in familiarities with his wife, and that the woman had from that hour deter mined on getting rid of her husband. In the middle of last month Madame Fourcault bought some arsenic at a chemist’s in Argentan for the pur |>< -se of killing rats, as she said, but she put half the poison she had bought in her hus band’s soup. He ate the soup w ithout no ticing anything wrong about it, but soon afterward was taken very ill, and died n great surtV ring. During her husband’s short illness the woman displayed the most revolt ins cynicism. She hud sent for young Ai leron, with whom, as the farmer lay dying, she renewed her intrigue. After she was arrested Madame Fourcault made a full con fession, hut without the slightest emotion or remorse. She said that she had tried to Poison her husband on a previous occasion b.v putting arsenic in his coffee; but she had atiuiidoned the idea for a time, as she hail feared that her victim would notice the ap pearance of a foreign substance in his coffee.

ELOPING WITH A NEGRO. A GIRL RUNS AWAY WITH HER FATHER’S COACHMAN. She was Unable to Account for Her In fatuation, Although Her Eyes Were Open to the Folly of Her Act—She Leaves a Letter. Prom the New York Sun. Glendonville, Pa., May 21.—The ex citement of the hour here is the elopement of a young society belle with an uncouth coffee-colored negro, which was augmented by the hot pursuit by the girl's family and friends, and their failure to cither overtake or capture the runaways. James Barclay Wesner is the oldest and wealthiest resident of this town. With his wife and only child, Ida, a beautiful and accomplished girl of 20, he occupied the handsomest and most ele gantly furnished residence in Glendonville. In the rear of the beautiful grounds sur rounding their home stands a modest-looking two-story brick building, which wasoccupied by Bill Thompson, a negro, who was em employed as gardner and hostler by Mr. Wesner. Thompson is about 04 years of age, and married, but never had any children. He was well educated, a pleasing talker, and had an inexhaustible store of wit and interesting stories about his colored brethren, and, although of a most ungainly appearance, was well thought of in the community. Mr. Wesner, although leading a retired life, was largely interested in some real estate nsattei's which called him away frequently. On every oc casion of this kind il was his custom to nave his pair of horses hitched up and be driven to the depot, some distance away. His daugh ter, who was passionately fond of riding and driving,never failed to accompany her father and Thompson on these trips, she invaria bly driving both to the depot and return. Wesner had been away for the ist week, ar.d on Thursday morning his wife received word to have Thompson meet him at the depot on the arrival of the 4p. m. train that day. Boon after noon Thompson began to get the horses ready, when Mrs. Wesner interfered, saying it was too early. Then it was learned that Ida had previously ex pressed a desire to start un hour or two earlier, that she might have a drive through the country liefore going to the di pot. As every wish of the girl was gratified, this was no exception, and an hour later they drove away. Several days prior to this the girl had secretly taken from her wardrobe some of her best clothing and deposited them in a house midway between her home and the depot. Twenty minutes after they left the Wesner mansion they drew up at this house, took the packages, and drove to the depot just in time to catch the next western bound train. Before the train started, Thompson asked a bystander to look out for the team until he or Mr. Wesner came for it. Pre cisely at 4 o’clock Mr. Wesner arrived and saw the team, and after five or ten minutes’ impatient waiting for Thompson, who he supposed was somewhere in the neighbor hood, he jumped in and drove home without him. As Mr. Wesner drove up to the house his wife saw that he was alone, and the terrible suspicion of an accident or elopement quick ly dawued upon her. Hhe rushed to the gate, flung herself into her husband’s arms, and exclaimed, “Where’s Ida?” Mr. Wesner was as yet in total ignorance of everything, . and maintained his usual composure until he learned what the trouble was. Then, after hearing what his wife suspected, he hurried to his daughter’s room to see if any thing had been removed/ In a conspicuous place on the marble slab of the bureau lay the following letter: Thursday Noon. Dearest Mamma— Ere you have the slightest intimation of my conduct, or what lam fully convinced the world will call disgrace, 1 will l>e the wife of William Thompson, and so far away from ihv cnee happy homi} jlhat all efforts you and dear papa may make to reach me w ill lie in vain. That I have now and forever forfeited that parental affection, which was so lavishly bestowed on me ever and always, that I have made the home of my childhood desolate by robbing you and papa of that comfort and hap piness which I know- my presence always gave, is true, but my passion was no longer under the dominion of reason, and whjle I do not attempt to mention any circumstances that would in any degree palliate my conduct, for that is im possible, vet in pity for my feelings and the' luture. whatever that will be, let me say that I am not wholly to blame. Thompson "had an irresistible power over me, which even now I cannot explain. I was happy only in his presence. Seeing that I was completely at his command, he proposed elopement and marriage. My conscience strong ly reproached me, but his solicitations grew more fervent, and I at last consented. The plans were arranged a week ago, and will be success fully carried out to-day. The full measure of my blind infatuation will he more quickly real ized hy you, and you may ask. "Did I not know Thompson was already married?” You also might say, “If the perfidious wretch abandoned the faithful wife he leaves behind, what though he was my equal, could I expect from him?” These questions are now too late. I weighed them ail. and knew-1 was doing w rong, hut was powerless to prevent what is now-too Tate to be undone. Good-by—forever good-by. Your af fectionate, and rierliaps unfortunate, Ida. It is impossible to describe the feelings of the unhappy parents as t hey gazed on the written acknowledgement of their only child’s ruin and disgrace, and in company with friends they started in hot haste to the station and boarded a west-bound train, telegraphing inquiries ahead. Their search was kept up until late last night, but no trace of the eloping couple could be found. It is possible that they w ent to some of the large cities, where detection will not be so easy, especially in the negro settlements. The broken-hearted parents returned homo in the h< pc that, ere it is too late, the good sense of the daughter will assort itself, that she will see the error of her ways and return home. Thompson - had been employed by Mr. Wesner over three years and was a faithful and trusted man. At no time was there anything ever seen in the way of familiarity or undue intimacy between him and Ida that would arouse suspicion. Thompson's wife will be taken care of by tho U esners.

From the Boston Transcript. The other day our Newfoundland dog was playing on the (Kirch with our little girl, 4 years old, when she opened the gate and went out. The dog did not follow her. Some time afterward the child’s mother come out, discovered her absent* and said to the dog: “\\ here is Nellie?’ The dog looked as if he knew, and wagged his tail furiously. “Go this instant,’ said the mother, “and And Nellie and bring her home.” Out over the gate flew the dog and started down tile street to a neighbor’s house not far off. Nellie was playing there inside the house, and saw the dog come and scratch at the veranda window. “I know what he wants,” said the little girl, “lie wants me to go home, but I'm not going to do it!” The dog was not admitted, but he lingered near, like Mary’s little lamb, and when two ladies called presently he brushed in past them through the door. Then, rushing up to Nellie, he seized her dress with his teeth and began dragging her to the door. An attempt was made to drag him off, but he growled and held his place. The little girl, beginning to be frightened, gave up all re sLstenee and trotted home In’ his side, and he delivered her with an air of triumph into her mother’s hands. What instinct would lead a dog to do that? f i A suburban resident was walking at night not long ago across a meadow, and losing the path in the darkness fell into a ditch. His dog, a collie, had been running about in an aimless way over the field. Gathering himself up the gentleman called the dog, and crouching over him said sharply: “Now see here, Mac, I want you to show me the path across the meadow. Go right ahead of me, do you hear, and show me the path—show me the path!” The dog obeyed to the letter. With bis nose to the ground he followed the path faithfully, with his master at his heals clear across the meadow, until he had approached to within two or three rods of the limits of the field. Then he began to waver from side to side as if looking vainly for the path, and showed great confusion and even shame. Next day the gentlemen went over the ground by daylight, and discovered that at the point where the dog began to waver the path was entirely lost in the thick grass. EXCURSIONS.

TRIBUTE OF KESPKUT^B It is the sad duty of the St. Andrew)* Society, to pay tribute to the late who died, in this city on the 80th .lay 1 Or April. ” 1887, aged 38 years. Mr. Robeson county. North Carolina-, In 1849, ad came to Savannah in 1883 and established the commission house of IV. &L. McNeill. iSKhe fall of 1885 Mr. McNeill became a member of the firm of Peacock, Hunt. St Cos., and continued with them as an active partner up to the time of his short illness. Mr. McNeill associated himself with the St. Andrew's Society on the 30th day of November, 188 ti, and during his brief intercourse made us .his friends by his quiet manner and by unconsciously showing iu every act how worthy he was of that friendship. When his death was announced, regret and kind ex pressions canto from every lip, demonstrating that not only the members of the St, Andrew's Society had learned to appreciate his character, but also that the demise of one who had been re moved by dentil, iu the prime of life, and the sphere of usefulness, was generally regretted. Asa further expression of our esteem, be it therefore. Resolved by the St. Andrew's Society: First, That in the death of Walter McNeill, the city of Savannah has lost a good citizen, and this Society a zealous member, whose cheer ful disposition and frank face will be missed and his death deeply deplored. Second, That as a further mark of the esteem in which he was held, his vacant chair be draped in mourning for sixty days, and that a page of our minute book be set apart to record his death. Third, That a copy of this preamble and reso lutions be sent to his aged parents, to whom we tender our sympathies in their loss of so good a son, and that these proceedings be pub lished in the two daily papers of this city.
