Macon, Ga., Aug. 50.—This morning President Northern, of the Agricultural So ciety left for Beauvoir, Miss., the home of Jefferson Davis, to invite and request the distinguished cx-President of the Confed eracy, to attend the State fair. President Northern goes personally to see Mr. Davis and induce him, if possible, to lie present at the gran 1 reunion of ex-Confederate sol diers on Wednesday, Oct 2fi—the third day of the great exhibition. It is very probable that Mr. Davis will consent to come, and if he really does, there wall be the largest gathering of Southerners ever assembled at Macon at any one time. His presence will make the reunion of the Confederates a glorious success and an ever memorable occasion. The grandest w elcome will be accorded the great chieftain that he has received since the war. The people anxiously and liopefuljy await the result of President Northerns visit to Beauvoir. On returning from Mississippi President NortUen will travel through Alabama in the interest of the fair. He is thoroughly enthused on the subject of the great exhibi tion. COLUMBUS CHIPS. The Latest Returns from the Prohibi tion Election in Meriwether. Columbia Ga., Aug. 50. —The prohibi tion contest in Meriwether county was very exciting.

The Columbus Dramatic Association pre sented “The Planter’s Wife" to quite a largo audience at Springer’s Opera House to night for the benefit of tho Columbus Guards. The Asylum Investigation. Milledoeville, Ga , Aug. 50.—A ripple of excitement occurred when six of the joint committee to investigate the asylum arrived in Milledgeville. The House committee, that has been at work there for some days, it still in session. It looks rather strange for two separate committees from the same legislature to be lioth in session in different rooms of the asylum buildings, lioth making investigations at the same time. This new J’oint committee is composed of Senators R. I. Jackson, chairman; R. J. Powell and R. R. Pringle, and Representatives J. A. Stew art, J. N. Smith. N. S. Walker and Mr. Hunt., of Hancock. The committee went out to the asylum Monday morning, organized and began work. Fad ing to bring a stenographer the committee telegraphed to Atlanta for one. The first thing presented to the committee was an address from the President Of the Board of Trustees and the Superintendent of the asylum, asking that as Dr. Kenan upon the Hour of the House had ma4c charges of rottenness in the management of tlie institution, they (the trustees ami Superintendent) prayed this committee to make a thorough and complete investigation, calling in any one from whom they might gain any informa tion nnd expose any wrongs if they found them. The joint committee will he in session several days, and many sensational matters will undoubtedly be developed. The convention of editors of the vvivkly press met here to-day. Judge Hall’s Funeral. Albany, Ga., Aug. 50.—The remains of Judge Slimin'] Hall, accompanied by a com ruittee from the House, a committee from the (Senate, the Governor’s private secre tary and delegations from the Atlanta and Mac,iq bur, arrived here last night on the Southwestern railroad. The lsxly lay at the residence of Col. Nelson Tift until 9 o’clock this morning, when the funeral cr ▼ices were cqnducted by Rev. T. G. Pond. Tho body was interred at the remeterv at this place. The funeral procession was a ▼orv large one. STATE CAPITAL SIFTINGS. The Central Railroad Extends the Passes of Legislators. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 50.—The Central railroad has notified both Houses that, the passes of members are extended till after final adjournment. Another outrage is reported from the Gresston convict canip in Dodge county. The mismanagement at this camp lias brought, it in bad odor in the county, and tlie present grand jury appointed a special committee to investigate. They found that convicts had been cruelly whipped, and one sick with dropsy had Is en worked till he dropped dead. The grand jury will indict the whipping boss, Bryant, for murder, it is reported that lie has fled from the Slate. The grand jury will also present this caiup to the Legislature in a memorial. THE HEARING TO-MORROW. At the hearing ordered for Thursday, in which the lessees of camps Nos. 2 and 5 are to show cause whv the leases should not be annulled, the Governor and Attorney Gen eral will sit ns a court,. The hearing will lie held in the Supreme Court room with open doors. As the Attorney General will lie engaged in a judicial capacity the Governor deemed it advisable that the State and principal keeper should tie represented by counsel in the prosecution of the case and to-day em ployed Judge Hillyor and Hoke Smith. Messrs. Hopkins and Glenn will probably represent the penitentiary companies and the hearing is likely to last several days. The Capital Commission met this morn ing and passed the monthly estimates of $10,447 11, and appointed Commissioners Miller, Thomas and Howell to draw up suit able resolutions on the death of Mr. Horne, the architect, ELECTRIC LIGHTS, The commission decided to get estimates of the cost, of fitting up an electric appara tus and fitting wires in the Senate and House, Executive department, library, grand corridors and dome. The Governor was requested to submit to the Attorney General the question whether the death of Mr. Horne will necessitate the surviving contractor making anew bond. The Thames and Mersey Marine Insur ance Company of England to-day applied to the Comptroller fpr a license to do busi ness in the State, and deposited with the Treasurer the $25,000 required. A license was granted. This company recently with drew from tly State. THE SUPREME COURT .JUDGESHIP. Thero is considerable political excitement over the contest for the Supreme Court Judgeship, and the scenes about the hotels to-night remind one of the regular political conventions. Many of the candidates are in the city, and the canvass is warm. Judge Adams is looming up as a candidate. Strong friends were in the Kimball House lobby to-night in his behalf. A prominent Judge told the News correspondent that he thought Judge Adams was in the race, and would be a strong candidate. Judges Lumpkin, Clarke and Hook are fairly on tho track and their candidacy is without question. Judges Brown and Simons are both here but will not antagonize each other and it is not yet decided which will make tile race. The News correspondent inter viewed .both at a late hour and reached the conclusion that Judge Brown will with draw and leave the fight to Judge Simmons. Indeed Judge Brown intimated that that would be the result. THE MARIETTA AND NORTH GEORGIA. There was a meeting of the Mnrietta and North Georgia Investigating Committee to night. B. F. Abbott was the only witness, and as a member of the last Legislature and of the House Finance Committee, and pre viously as attorney for the road, was familiar with the history of the legislation under investigation. He knew of no cor rupt or improper influences used in connec tion with it. The Kate Committee of the Southern Rail way and Steamship Association vva in ses sion to-day They fixed the rate for the I'iedinont fair on roads without the State at lc. a mile, and for Georgia roads a maxi mum rate of $3. The Directors of the I’iedmont Exposition at a full meeting to-night decided upon the national colors, red, white and blue as the exposition colors, by a unanimous and hearty vote. The entire city will lie draped in red, white and blue. FLORIDA’S METROPOLIS. Sheny Mike Returns From the Peni tentiary at Albany. Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 30.—Work has been liegun on the St, Janies Hotel, pre paring it for winter travel. “Sheny Mike,” alias Mike Kurtz, who was arrested in Jacksonville a t ear ago on a charge of complicity in the famous jewelry robbery in Troy, N. Y., and for which lie was incarcerated in Albany for several months, arrived in the city to-day, looking greatly changed by his imprisonment. His wife is here with him, having devotedly followed him all through his trouble. To-day the Board of Public Instruction selected George P. Glenn, of Muskegan, Mich., as principal of tho Jacksonville grammar school. To-day all the troops left Pablo, and that gay watering place has a pall of loneliness overhanging it. The St. Augustine com pany had a military band from Augustine over to give the soldiers a good send off, and quite a parade around Jacksonville was in dulged in by the boys to-day before they took their different trains for home. THE THIRD BATTALION. Pensacola, Fla., Aug. HO.—The Escam bia Rides, of this city, and the Santa Rosa Rifles, of Milton, the two companies com prising the Third Battalion of Florida State Troops, arrived home to-night from Pablo Beach, where t hey have been attending the encampment of the State troops. DIXIE’S 810 CORN CROP. The Yield of Last Year Exceeded by Over 50,000,000 Bushels. Baltimore, Mil, Aug. HO.—The Mnnn fartvrrrs Record, of this week contains about five rages of special reports from the entire South as to the crops and condition of business. The corn crop of the South is unprecedentedly large, exceeding the yield of IS,SO by over 50,000,000 bushels, the yield of 1885 by 75,000,000 bush els, and the yield of INSd by 107,000.000 bushels. The South will this year, it is said, be nearly self-sup|K>rting in the matter of corn, and many millions of dollars that have libretofore .one West for cent will this season lie saved to Southern farmers. While recent untavorable weather has dam aged to some extent the cotton prospects which a month ago promised such an enor mous yield iho crop will still be a large one. Advanced prices for tobacco will, it is claimed, counter balance to the farmers the decrease ill yield, due mainly to decreased ai Tenge. Other crops have with few exceptions lieen very good, and it is said that the inrmers will enjoy greater prosjierity than for many seasons. Business prospects are reported brighter than ever liefore, and one correspondent predicts that this will be noted as a debt paying year. Cut With a Razor. Albany, Oa., Aug. ■ Two negro women on the Frank Munis plantation, nil.e miles east of Albany, began an alter cation to-day, which their husbands con tinued, resulting In Arlie Kay being serious ly cut with a razor in the hands of Dan Isom.

The motion of Ives’ counsel ti> strike out his cross-examination will be argued, probably to-morrow, when the court rules whether or not the referee had a right to cross-question the partners. Thev will be asked to sign their testimony. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1887. (TTTIIK BAIISOF HISCELL JESSE POMEROY MAKES ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE. The Boy Fiend of Boston, Who at tho Age of 10 Tortured Children to Death-Saved from the Gallows—A Governor’s Clemency. /■Yum the New York Sun. Boston, Aug. 38. — Jesse Pomeroy, tho most notorious prisoner in the State prison, made another attempt to escape last week. Pomeroy is the boy fiend who tortured to death two or three children about a dozen years ago, and who at the age of It! years was sentenced to lie hanged. Gov. Gaston commuted the sentence to life imprisonment in a solitary cell, and the Governor’s clem ency was so unpopular that it defeated him in his candidacy for re-election. Pomeroy lias been detected in a half dozen plans for escaping, and he has always re quired the closest watching. He is ab normally cunning—a model convict in outward behavior, but keenly observant and tireless in plotting to gain bis liberty. Before the reconstruction of the prison and its extension Pomeroy occupied a cell in the upper arch. The wing was extended and six new cells ndded in the arch. Adjoining this new wing are several specially strong cells. On either side of these ceils are grated bars, allowing a full view of the nar row quarters from lioth sides, and the guard, as he makes the rounds, can he con tinually in sight of the inmates. Directly over the arch is the hospital, and it is thought that, from this place came the assistance which so nearly gave the mur derer his liberty. * In his regular round on Friday night, the guard, while leaning against the window, felt two of the iron bars give way to the pressure of his ’hand, and a moment later they fell to the ground. The guard discov ered that, other bars hod been worked upon, and that a few minutes’ labor would have rendered them as useless ils the broken ones. Hastily summoning the officials, another in spection was made, the broken and damaged bars wore replaced with new ones, and a tour of the cells was begun. By instinct they made for Pomeroy’s cell. At a glauie the two massive iron gratings seemed impregnable, but a closer scrutiny showed that enough bars in the side nearest the window to admit the body of a man had been cut through, but so fastened by the means of cement that even the henvy clanging of the door did not shake them. Where this cement was conceal ed has not yet been ascertained. Pomeroy was taken to safer quarters and searched, but nothing was found on his ]>orsoii save two slender saws. He refused to 'disclose who furnished them, where the cement had Ixvm obtained, or how long the work had been going on.. It is said, however, that he said enough to leave the inference that, the time for escape lmd been definitely fixed, and that a conveyance would be in waiting to take him to a place of safety .Since Pomeroy’s sentence he has been in solitary confinement, save for un occasional hour’s outing with the warden. When not otherwise employed he has been busy poring over books, and has the reputation of being a close student. Indeed, he has already mastered Latin and Greek, and can converse with some fluency in French and German. His first attempt to escape was made some nine years ago. Then Pomeroy spent his leisure moments in loosening a rock that formed a part of the centre wall of the prison and the wall of his cell. For years, evidently, he had been at work on that rock, and had finally succeeded in sepa rating it from the surrounding wall. To get it out of the way was the next, question, and* thoughtless of tho consequence, he forced it out ward slowly, until one day the guard, looking down the massive wall, saw the projecting rock and made an investiga tion. Pomeroy was then taken to a stronger cell. THE THISTLES’S BOTTOM. Mate McDonald Says the Cutter will be Open for Inspection. New York, Aug. SO. —Capt. John Yiatr said to-day that, the short spin of the This tle yesterday was entirely satisfactory to him. It was true that her main sail did hag somewhat, hut he said he expected that on the first spreading and it only needed stretching. During a little chaff between a report er nnd Mate McDonald about the “patent mystery” that some people have been foolish enough to suggest the 'Thistle may have con cealed about her person, the mate said: “Everyliody will be fooled when they see her bottom.” He was asked if the public would have a chance to see it when the yacht was hauled out,, and replied: “Of course. Why not? They can’t build a better one. ” Another spin will probably be taken to morrow. SARATOGA’S LAST RACE DAY. Littrel, Terra Cotta, Wary, Colowine and Referee Win.

THE GREAT FIRE IN SCUTARI. A Graphic Picture of the Operations of a Turkish Fire Department. From the yew York Sun. Constantinople, Aug. 15, —Yesterday afternoon at sp. m. the cry of Are was raised in Scutari, one of the three parts of tho city. This district is on the Asiatic side of the Bosporus, nnd is built up from the water’s edge to the top of high hills two miles distant. The Turkish quarter rises up on the southern hills, while the Arme nian quarter is to the north, separated by a valley, but rising to higher ground. On this highest ground the church bells begun ringing. It was Sunday, but the frantic ringing of those bells told of no common service and drew no common con gregation. The wind blew furiously from the North; the air and ground were perfectly dry, for no rain has fallen here for weeks, ami the houses in all this part of the city are mere tinder 1 sixes, built of woixl, huddled closely together, dry as wood can be only when seasoned by the strong, dry winds thatblow beneath tho summer sun. No wide, paved avenues, upon which engines can collect to fight fire with fire, but narrow lanes over hung with balconies, and heaps of rubbish everywhere. Not a fire engine proper on this side tho Bosporus, but soine little boxes with handles to them, and nozzles looking more like gar den syringes than instruments with which to light fire. No water supply, save here and there a well or cistern. This wns the state of affaire when the cry of "Fire!” was raised. Within half an hour flames were issuing from every bouse in a district nearly a quarter of a mile and 200 yards wide. The wind was sweeping down over the hills, carrying great brands into untouched parts of the city, until it seemed that a road must iie cut straight through these densely populated quarters, both Ar menian and Turkish, down to the water's e Ige. Fire brigades were called out and a dozen of these little boxes called fire engines were carried from place to place. The fire was backing up toward one wide street on the east side, eating its way through a number of miserable shanties. Near us stood a Turkish officer with fifty soldiers, doing nothing. He saw us and said: “What shall 1 do?” We told him to tear down those old shan tees and preventthe fire from reaching their fine avenue. He turned away, nnd we saw him no more. Just then two fire compa nies brought their “engines" and set them down. These asked for water, but no water was to be had. Finally a small cask of wa ter was brought and poured into the box, for those “engines” have no suct ion arrange ment, and the men pumped until some force was gained and a small stream of water was put on the side of a house for half a minute The water was used up and the engines stood there useless. My eyes lighted upon a despairing face that 1 knew belonged to no foreign subject. A man, with gray moustache, wearing an old hat, a shirt and pantaloons, with such a look of sari agony as the Turk cannot know. He looked toward me, and I stepped forward amLasked, “Is your house near here?” “Yes, just there,” and he pointed in the path of the destroying monarch. “The Turks do not want the fire put out; they won’t let the men use the water. ” A fierce light, shot from his gray eyes as he spoke. He did not know that the fire companies only work for those who are rich enough to pay them, and this helps the rich and drives the poor to the wall. Most of the engines were employed by the insurance agents. They were about, looking where houses could be saved, and then directing their efforts in that direction. In the evening the wind lulled somewhat. The Pasha was on the scene, sitting in his chair, smoking cigarettes and having an at tendent bearing a decanter beside his chair. He was trying to prevent tho backing up of the fire toward the north, and had a com pany of soldiers witli hooks on long poles, trying to tear down a shanty. They suc ceeded in tearing it down and made a heap of rubbish twelve feet high and light, mate rial, just tho thing for a bonfire. Then the men stood and leaned on their hooks until the flames almost reached the rubbish, and then the Pasha thought it well to clear some of it away Just then a great commotion occurred, nnd with blowing of bugles and ringing of hells the engine—a real engine this—drawn by a foam-flecked pair of horses, came roll ing in from Pern, across the Bosporus. A great space was cleared, and the company l iom Pera surveyed the scene, but there was no water, and after awhile they turned around and drove away. They had done what they could. Down the same street came another fire company—four men bearing the fire-box and a dozen running before to clear the way, while another dozen carried the hose in the rear. They were running at full tilt, yelling as they ran, and suddenly tho whole company, fire engine and all. Inv in a heap in the middle of the dusty road. No fatal results. They rose and went on an before. The fire raged until midnight. Churches, schools and dwellings were levelled to the ground, and this morning a forest of chim neys, rising above a mass of ashes, marks the place where 15,000 houses stood yester day; 12,000 people are left without homes, but the summer time makes it easy for them to live out doors until they can find shelter. This is a glimpse of a fire and its contin gencies in the capital of Turkey. Moham medan fatalism seems illustrated by the conduct of government officials. “God wills it; we cannot oppose God.” People are made homeless and penniless, property is destroyed, the State slowly falls to pieces, but the Turk sits by and smokes. To bis credit 1 must say that the law makes the erection of all frame houses conditional up m their being stuccoed, and this is of great value. Yet a great city with no water supply, when engines are at hand, is to us a pitiable sight. Even Athens, the capital of little Greece, is I iet ter off. But Constantinople waits for new occupants. LABOR’S PICKETS. They are Held in Bail for Their Appear ance at the Fall Term. Bum ton.
