< ESTABLISHED ISG. i ) J. H. EKTILL, Editor And Proprietor. S RANDALL NOT A BIG GUN. the president ignores him in * the oak view conferences. The Pennsylvanian Went as Far as Possible in His Endeavor to Gain Recognition— He May Finally Gain a Hearing- Representative Scott Says the Majority Will Be Consulted. Washington, Sept. 7.—Hon. W. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania, returned to the city this evening from his visit to the President at Oak View, and tvas seen by a reporter of the Associated Press. When asked whether the tariff and reduction of the revenue had been discussed by the President and himself and Secretary Fairchild and Mr. Carlisle, and whether any bill had been agreed upon, he said that this subject, as well as other public matters, bad been talked about, and that while there was no difference of opinion among the gentle men present as to the necessity for an early reduction of the revenues and taxation, no measure for that purpose had been agreed upon, and none would be without consulta tion with the members belonging to the majority in the House of Representatives. It was the opinion of all that there ought to b<> a very considerable reduction at the earliest possible date after the meeting of Congress, but the manner in which the re duction should be made was considered only in a general way, and nodetails were agreed upon. This, he said, was all that could be said about the so-called conference, and the statements upon the subject going the rounds of the press were mere speculations. HAND ALL SNUBBED. Representative Randall has not as yet been invited to the conferences. The state ment sent out last night to the effect that he attended a conference held at Oak View yesterday with the President, Mr. Carlisle and Secretary Fairchild was as baseless as the statement that the conferees had agreed upon a tax reduction bill. The fact seems to be that Mr. Randall came down here feeling some pride in what he considered his victory at Allentown, and believing that he would be invited to take part in the conferences which the President is having with Mr. Carlisle and Secretary Fairchild, but he has waited here in vain. THE PRESIDENT NOT THERE. To-dav he announced that he would call at the White House this afternoon, and if the President was not tbero, wouhlgo back to Philadelphia without seeing him. The President did not come into the White House, remaining at Oak View. When soma of Mr. Randall’s friends here learned this, they suggested to Mr. Randall that he wait over until to-morrow, in the hope that the President might come in to-morrow, or else invite Mr. Randall out to Oak View. Mean while none of the guesses at the nature of the work done in the conferences at Oak View has any better basis than the ingenuity of the guesser. No one outside of the conferees themselves know whether the out come is to be a tax reduction bill or a para graph in the President’s message. All that is known is thet tax reduction is being dis cussed and steps taken to adopt a feasible plan which will bring it about. Represen tative Miles, of Texas, has little more to do with these conferences than Representative Randall, of Pennsylvania. BOND OFFERS REJECTED. Assistant Secretary Thompson Thought They Were Too High. Washington, Sept. 7.—The offerings of iy, per cent, bonds to the Treasury for re demption to-day aggregated $2,675,500 at rates from 110 to 108 All were rejected. Acting Secretary Thompson said the reason why he rejected all the offers was because he thought the prices asked were too high. The rates were, he said, higher than those at which bonds were purchased last week, and more than he thought should be paid. He alone was responsible for the rejection of the offers, for, although Secretary Fairchild is in the city, be took no official cognizance of the proposals. Secretary Fairchild is a guest of the President at Oakview. Neither of them came into the city to-day. A VACANT SECRETARYSHIP. Mr. Porter Announces that He Will Resign in a Few Days.

We are sorry, as Mr. Gladstone was chosen that he is unable to accept it, but we find it difficult to discover how the conclusion was arrived at that Mr. Gladstone was peculiarly fitted to represent England on such an occasion. We should hardly select Mr Blaine to represent the United .States if an English celebration were in question.” WOULD BE killed with kindness.

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1887. HUMAN HOGS GO HUNGRY. AT ANY RATE THEY CAN’T GOBBLE UP THE DOCTORS’ FEAST. All Outstanding Invitations to the Spread Cancelled Because They Have Fallen in Hands for Which They Were Not Intended-Little Un pleasantnesses Healed. Washington, Sept. 7. —President Davis called the general session of the interna tional Medical College to order at 10 o’clock this morning. He again announced a change of programme for the general ses sions of the congress, from 11 to. 10 o'clock each day, made necessary by the pressure of business before the sections. Ho said that the failure of two of the essayists who had promised papers for the general sessions made it possible to curtail these sessions, and have but one paper read each day. He announced that Prof Unna, of Germany, would real his paper to-morrow, and Dr. Blanford, of London, would read one Fri day. Dr. Garnett, Chairman of the Executive Committee, said it had been learned that tickets to the banquet for Thursday night had been surreptitiously or improperly ob tained by many persdhs who do not belong to the medical profession, and that “the humiliating experience” at the conversa zione Monday evening had convinced th 9 committee that more rigid arrangement* for the banquet were necessary than had at first been contemplated It has been determined therefore, ho announced, to cancel all out standing invitations. Invitations to the members of the congress would, he said, lie issued nt the box office of the theatre, where the delegates were invited to call. They were requested to wear their badges, and when practicable exhibit their membership certificates. THE HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE. The humiliating experience referred to was the presence of people whose appear ance was not such as to give a flattering opinion to foreigners of American society customs. By some failure to comprehend the instructions given to those in immediate charge, gamin from the sidewalks and la borers in their working clothes made their 1 way in with those invited to greet and honor the visitors. A few creatures stalked about the great hall wearing straw or slouch hats and smoking cheap cigars, as at a country fair. The unwashed were few in numbers in comparison with the better bred, but were ail the more conspicuous. It is probable that the intrusion was a source of much greater annoyance to those who felt responsibility for the success of the entertainment than any others. A vast majority were ladies and gentlemen, whose appearance and breeding would do no dis credit to the most exclusive of assemblages at home or abroad. President Davis announced that the paper to lie read to day was by Prof. Zemmola, of Naples. Before introducing that gentle man, however, he would ask Prof. Durante, of Rome, to take the chair. It is learned that Prof. Durante yesterday wrote a letter to Dr. Hamilton, stating that he overlooked the seeming inattention to him on opening day, and would remain and take part in the congress. The Secretary General then, on behalf of the President of the Congress, in vited him to preside as Vice President from Italy during the delivery of the speech of his compatriot, Prof. Zemmola. Prof. Durante was warmly welcomed to the chair by tho audience. prof, zemmola’s address. Prof, Zemmola’s paper is written in Ital ian, but was delivered in French and with out reference to manuscript. Aside from the more technical and scientific features of his address, Prof. Zemmola took the ground that modern tendencies were in the direc tion of hypothesis and abstract theory, and he urged a return to the safer and more conservative, though slower methods of experimentation and exact ascertainment of facts. The fundamental scope of medicine, he said, was qnre of dis ease. Progress to day in art was hindered by a tendency to bacteriology which threat ened to grow into a system of itself, instead of becoming or remaining hand-made and auxiliary of applied medicine. THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD. Certainly the microscopic world does exist, exploration of which brought to light myriads of enemies of mankind, but the solution of the problems thus presented to the practitioner was as yet unattainable. Many of the theories presented for the destruction of the microbe which causes disease would, if acted upon, first kill the patient and then doubtless destroy the microbe. Doctors, he maintained, should emancipate themselves from the unproven theories of present as well as the unfounded dogmas of the past. Prof. Durante extended his hand to his compatriot upon the conclusion of the lat ter’s remarks, and the two, between whom there had been ill feeling, appeared to be thoroughly reconciled. Dr. Murphy, tho Irish physician who wroto the letter tendering his resignation as a member of the congress, has withdrawn the letter in view of the explanation given ity Dr. Hamilton. He saj’s that the kind ness and sympathy extended to him as the only delegate to the convention from Ire land made h lift feel more keenly what, at time of writing, he conceived to be an affront. IVES’ BREAK. 800 Shares of Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Stock Sold. New York, Sept. 7.—A sale of 800 shares of Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton stock was marie nt the Real Estate Exchange to day at 42, and 100 shares of the preferred stock was sold at A statement was made by the officials of the railroad com pany that the preferred stock was spurious and would not he transferred by the com pany.

Baltimore, Kept. 7,—Thirty-three cow* belonging to John Cly, a milkman in Baltimore county, affected with pleuro pneumonia, wore kilhxi ami buried yester day. The Ktate paid £ls per head for them. TEXAN rEVEII. Chicago, Kept. 7.—The Ktate Live Stock (’oiniuusioiier* have discovered that Texas fever is kilting off cattle in the Southern part of the city at a rapid rate. Prof. Law Is of the opinion that the shipping of Texas cattle to the North and East during the warm months should bo prohibited by Uia government and by all Htate authorities, as onlv in that way oan native cattle be pro tected from Tc*aa fever. A NATURAL GAS JUBILEE. Toledo Celebrates the Introduction Into the City. Toledo, 0,. Sept. 7. —To-night was de voted to a natural gas jubilee in honor of the arrival of the new fuel in Toledo, it be ing piped from the Hancock and Wood couuty fields. Stand pipes were erected on the principal street corners, each bearing a roaring torch of flame, as big as a hay stack, burning under a pressure of 300 pounds to the square inch, which makes the city as light as day. A grand open air meeting was held, the audience numbering fully 15,000 people. Mayor Hamilton presided, and ox-President R. B. Hayes was the orator of the occasion. PERMANENCY OF TIIK SUPPLY. In the course of his speech Mr. Hayes read a communication written in reply to his own inquiry from Professor Edward Orton, State Geologist, regarding tho per manency of the natural gas supply. Pro fessor Orton thinks the supply will finally fail, but that it will be years before there is any diminution of the present production from the deep strata. He de clared emphatically that the supply in the great fields of Northwestern Ohio and In diana will last much longer than the Pitts burg field,!>ecnuse the swells of Trenton lime stone, which act as reservoirs for tho gas, cover hundreds of square miles, while in Pennsylvania they are of much less extent, the comparison lieing the same as between an isolated mountain and a vast moun tain plateau. Prof. Orton expressed the opinion that cities that have once used this luol will never go back to coal, but that plans will be perfected for making fuel gas from coal very cheaply, so that it will be more economical to use than coal, tho use of which he anathematizes as very wasteful, unclean and unhealthy. SHARP’S APPEAL. The Special Term of the Supreme Court Convenes. New York, Sept. 7. —The extraordinary general term of the Supreme Court, ordered by Gov. Hill to hear the appeal from the judgment of conviction of Jacob Sharp, convened this morning. The Judges pre siding wore Van Brunt, Brady, Daniels and Bartlett. When the business of the court was about to begin District Attorney Martino said that, he was given to understand that Mr. Nicolls and Mr. Stickney had come to some arrange ment regarding the argument. He, how ever, was anxious to go on at once. Mr. Stickney said that tho defense had not had sufficient notice and therefore were not to go on to-day. It appeared that fudge Van Brunt had already had some si ing to do with the Sharp trial and on that ground Mr. Stickney thought that three instead of four Judges would he enough. The three Judges held a consultation, and agreed that Judge Van Brunt should form part of the bench. The case was then, after a short r ( .seuseion, ad journed until Tuesday morning next, at 10 o'clock. “I don’t want the prisoner to bo admitted to bail, meanwhile,” suggested the Distinct Attorney. “Well,” curtly replied Mr. Stickney, “I am not quite mad yet. I may get out of my mind between this and Tuesday and do something funny, but I don’t, as a rule, make useless applications for hail, knowing that I will be denied them.” TWO OF A TRIO SLAIN. The Survivor One of Two Men Who Came to Kill Another. Chicago, Sept. 7.—A New Orleans spe cial says: “About a year ago Marshall Eastry, who was living in Amite county, Mississippi, returned to his native parish of St. Helena, where he secured work in a saw mill owned by Mr. Hurst. Yesterday while Mr. Hurst was in the mill a man named Swearinger, who was carrying a gun, came up and engaged in a friendly conversation with him. A few minutes after they were ioined by another mau named Newman, who was also armed. As soon os Newman came up, Swearingpr turned to Eastry and said: “We have come from Mis sissippi to kill you,” at the same time dis charging both brrrels of his gun in Eastry’* body, but without killing him. Eastry ran into tho mill, got his gun and riddled Swear inger with bullets, killing him in stantly. Newman also fired, hut missed, whereupon Eastry pursued him, unaware of the fact that both barrels of his gun were empty. Newman fled and he pursued him for some distance, attempting to fire his gun, but dropped dead in the act. Newman, who is tho only one living of the trio, is held for murder. He claims that lie and Swear inger wore land officers from Mississippi.” FOUR MEN BLOWN SKY HIGH. An Explosion of Naphtha Exacts Five Lives and Starts a Fire. Boston, Sept. 7.—About 10 o’clock this morning a schooner loaded with naphtha was lying near the wharf opposite John H. Cunningham's great oil store, near the Chel sea end of the Chelsea bridge. Four men were on tho deck and one below. Suddenly there was a puff of black smoke, and then a tremendous explosion, and n man on tho bridge saw the deck of the ves sel rise into the air. In the midst of the flame and smoke were the bodies of the four men. Teey were hurled high above the wffioonet'. and then fell back into the flames. The fifth mau jumped overboard, and was drowned. The Humes quickly spread to Cunningham’s storehouse, which was soon destroyed. Meanwhile the burning hull drifted around against the draw bridge, and burned away the draw.
