2 ALL ABOUT AUGUSTA. The Receipts of Cotton Enormously . Ahead of Last Year. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 15.—A large meet ing of Irishmen Trill Ije held at Emmet Hall on the night of Sept. 23 to protest against the coercion bill. The receipts of cotton thus far in Augusta is far ahead of the most sanguine expecta tions of the cotton factors. The past sum mer has lieen one of unusual-activity among cotton men, and drummers have been sent out to all parts of the country. The result has been that since Sept. 1 the receipts here have lieen 11,488 bales as against 1,712 for the same period last year. To-day’s re ceipts foot up 1,187 bales. THE NEW THEATRE. Work has begun on Augusta’s new thea tre. Augusta has had no theatre since the burning of the Masonic Temple Theatre in February. “Market Hall” is being used for the purpose at this time. The new theatre •will be on the ground floor, of handsome build and finish. A five-storv hotel has risen on the ruins of last February’s fire and the Masons are hav ing erected on their lot a more magnificent Structure than the one burned. The Georgia Railroad Company has just completed the new car shops at the yards in this city. They are very extensive, and some magnificent passenger and sleep ing cares are being constructed in them. THE LEVEE. The talk about the “big levee” still con tinues. It is argued by some that a levee on this side of the river would throw the current into Hamburg, though Hamburg is usually submerged long before the water gets into the streets of Augusta. The pro ject, if carried out, will cost a large amount of money, but will protect thousands of dol lars worth of property should another flood occur as destructive as the last one. Dr. Foster has many warm friends who espouse the cause which he is championing with a great deal of enthusiasm. G2il. PHILLIPS TESTIFIES. The Marietta and North Georgia Com mittee at Work. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 15.—The Marietta and North Georgia Railroad Investigation Committee held a session to night. The only witness examined was Gen. William Phillips. Gen. Phillips was closely connected with the early construc tion of the road, filling the offices respect ively of Superintendent,Vice-president and President. Ho went over the history of tiie road till 1883, when his connection with it ceased, Messrs. Pulsifer, Eager and Kinsey then assuming control of it. He knew of no corrupt means used to influence the Legislature in passing the resolution cancel ling the bonded indebtedness of the road to the State. The committee adjourned till to-morrow afternoon, when Gen. Phillips will again be on the stand. KNOCKED m THE HEAD. John Dineen’s Life Again Attempted at Jacksonville. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 15.—Iron laying on Coast railroad from Arlington to Maysport began to-day. To-night a white man was foond uncon scious in East Jacksonville. An investiga tion showed that it was John Dineen.formor bookkeeper for Clark & Loftus, furniture dealers, who were burned out about two months ago. This is the second time that Dineen's fife has been attempted within ■ix weeks, and evidently somebody is anxious to get him out of the way. He Was picked up to-night and carried uncon scious to the county hospital on a dray, and after considerable time recovered con •eiousness. It was found that he hal been •truck in the head by a sharp heavy instru ment, but who his assailant was Mr. Dineenj was unable to say. He will re cover. APALACHICOLA IN ALARM tlgtfroes Threaten to Drive Off Rail road Laborers. Apalachicola, Fla., Sept. 15—A gang rf negroes numbering about a dozen, at tempted to create a riot at Clarabelle yes terday. The ringleaders were arrested and put under bonds. They were dissatisfied with the pay the lal>orers on the railroad were getting and were going to force the gangs "ft the track and take their tools away. A number of white men armed themselves and some excitement prevailed, but a few white men prevented a general riot by their coolness. Everything i now quiet. • Love at Louisville Louisville, Ga Sept. 15.—Miss M. Kate Roberson and G. W. Kelly, both of this place, were very quietly married at the residence of the bride's mother yesterday morning at 0 o'clock. They left on the 10 o'clock train for Macon, where they intend making their home in the future. Both Died in the Well. Charleston, S. €., Sept. 15.—Near Clark's Hill, in Edgefield county, to-day, two colored men were digging a well. One was overcome with gas. The other tried to rescue the first, but was also overcome, and both died in the well. TRAVELERS IN LuSSL Rates Cut from New York to Atlanta, St. Louis and New Orleans. New York, Sept. 15. —A new feature in the cut of railroad passenger rates this morning was the sale in large mimliors of tickets to Southern cities at nearly one-half the regular rates. Tickets were sold by brokers to Atlanta for sls and to New Orleans for $lB, and S2O. The regular fare to Atlanta is *24 and to New Orleans $:54. The fare to St. Louis, $lO, is so far the lowest of the week. In spite of the assurances of the Cen-' tral Traffic Association, the tendency seemed to be toward a still further reduction. Brokers claim that the coming meeting of the Grand Army at St. Ixuis, with its accompanying low ex cursion rates, will continue the war in spite of everything, simply transferring the headquarters of business to St. Louis. RUIN IN THE BOUNTIE3. Montana'* Legislature Forced to Re peal the Law. Hei.ena, Mont., Kept. 15.—The special session of the Fifteenth legislative assembly adjourned last evening, after a session of about three weeks. The Legislature last winter authorized a bounty of 10c. for prai rie dogs and sc. for ground squirrels, and to date the Territory has paid for '108,071 ground squirrels and 158,700 prairiedogs, or a total of over SSO,(XX). The bounty act ha/1 exhausted all the money in the treasury and was running the Territory rapidlv iii debt The Governor, with t lie iiermission of the President, called the S|>eclal session and re)>ealed the law.

Seattle, W. TANARUS., Sept. 15.—A bill of in quiry was filed before Chief Justice Jones yesterday by United States Attorney White for an accounting between the Northern Pacific railroad and the United States for timber cut from government lands. The amount claimed by the government is ; $2,000,000, and a perpetual injunction is de i rrmnded which will prevent further depre i dations. The attorney claims that the license to cut timber expired by law July, 1879. a suit for $2,277,254. Washington, Sept. 15.—Acting Secre tary Muldrow, in a letter to the Attorney General, has recommended that the offer of a compromise by the Sierra Lumber Com pany of California, in the timber trespass suits now pending against it in the United States Circuit Court at San Francisco be re jected, and that the suits bo prosecuted with a riiost determined effort to secure for the govenment the largest possible ver dict. The action pending is for the recovery of $2,277,254, being the value of ti,484,886 feet of lumber, comprising chiefly valuable sugar pine ami yellow pine, alleged to have lx-Hi illegally cut from the public lands. The defendants offered to compromise and pay the government $15,000. A RAZOR AT TWO THROATS. A Jealous Hnsband Kills His Wife and Himself. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 15.—Information reached this city to-day of a double tragedy which occurred on Sept. 13 at Hunting town, a small village in Calvert county, in the southern part of the State. Edward Coolidge, a former, cut his wife’s throat with a razor, after failing in an attempt to shoot her, nearly severing ner head from her body. He then tried to kill Ins sister, but she escaped, and with the same weapon he cut his own throat, dying after kissing his two little boys. Jealousy caused the tragedy. HORSES RUN FOR PURSES.

Prom the Washington Pont. Representative Macdonald, of Minnesota, who succeeds Mr. Strait in the House of Representatives, is at Willard’s for a few days. He has lived in Minnesota more than thirty years, is an able lawyer, has served in the Legislature and the judicature of the State, and understands tile politics not only of Minnesota, but of the whole Northwest very well. The turn in favor of Democracy, which was shown by Minnesota in the elec tions of last fall when three Republican Congressmen were displaced bv three Dem ocrats, according to Mr. Macdonald, is likely enough to be maintained in the Presi dential election next year. “In 1884,” said Mr. Macdonald to a Post reporter yester day, “Blaine carried Minnesota by 40,000 majority, while last year the Republican majority for Governor was only 2,000, and if the Republicans in their State convention had not declared against the protective tariff the Demo crats would have carried the State. Now it seems to me the Republicans of the coun try are growing more rabid in favor ofpro tection, and that they are likely to declare for protection in their national platform next year. If they do, the Democrats will carry Minnesota and possibly some other Northwestern States. They can only hold them a little longer bv adopting Democratic principles. The whoie Northwest is against the protection idea; the farmers don’t know what the}’ gain by it, and therefore, the Democratic party is steadily gaining. Even Pennsylvania is advancing. The result of the State Convention recently held was not gratifying to the Randall men. It seems to mo anyhow, that the Democratic party should not allow itself to lie swerved from its national and proper course by so small a factor as Pennsylvania.” “Who arc the Presidential candidates spoken of in Minnesota?" “As things stand at present, there seems little doubt that Mr. Cleveland will be re nominated. The Democracy of the State is for him. The majority of the Republicans are for Blaine, but Sherman has a great many friends among the politicians, and while Blaine, I believe, would win the dele gation on a test vote, lie will not get it without a hard contest.” THE CHINESE SYNDICATE. What a Native Newspaper Says of Mr. Barker’s Groat Enterprise. From the North China Daily News. The astonishing concessions and privi leges granted to the American combination of capitalists through Count Mitkiewicz will, no doubt, remain undisturbed. The Viceroy Li. great as his authority is, did not act without imperial sanction. It now appears that negotiations have been pro ceeding for about two years. What inlluence the new financial institu tion will have upon existing foreign hanks, financial and industrial agencies is, as Sir Thomas Browue says, "not lieyond. conjec ture.” They may exist, but at disadvan tages, and must adapt thoir tactics to cir cumstances in good time. No doubt, too. subjectively, the new combination will have a strong nnd immediate tendency to appreciate the value of stiver. It is uot likely that gold will bo comprised in any Chinese scheme of coinage, even if the auriferous deixsdtsof the Ameer, Kirill and the rivers (hisuri and Sungari ore worked systematically and confirm expectation. From the Chinese point of view there is much to say theoretically in favor of the new financial Institute. The tiuunces of the empire just now are absolutely chaotic; it liHfrbeconie imperative for the maintenance of the empire that some initial.gy scheme should l>e tried to bring tin l provincial re venues under imperial control, and the new institute, if well managed for a common advantage and uot for plunder and whole sale exploitation, could ne made the means of establishing at least the semblance of or derly ways. To exist, the empire must have a regular revenue for its army and navy for camps, forts, provincial and wai fsjord arsenals, etc , and if tbs fiscal system could Is* put under regulation it u oon ceivahle Inal the revenues now collected might sulli e without further burdening the people. But the change to lie made is vast, and will tie oppsesi with fierce de termination.

NERVY GEORGE SLOAN A Man Who Went to Texas and Stood His Ground. Prom the New York Sun. Away back in the sixties I was financially interested in two or three Texas enterprises with a man named George Sloan. That was his right name, but in many localities in Texas he was known only as “Nervy George.” I have seen a great many state ments concerning his adventures in print, but all more or less exaggerated. Some of the adventures which came about while we were in company I will now give to the press for the first time. Sloan was an Ohio boy, and I made his acquaintance and we chummed in the Audersonville prison pen. We went West together after the war, and at that time he was only 27 years old. He was 5 feet 7 inches high, weighed 100 pounds, and was the strongest man I ever saw outside of a professional wrestler or cannon ball tosser. His flesh was so hard that he could crack a walnut on his leg. On two or three occasions 1 knew him to break the bones in a man’s hand by a single grip. He took no training of any sort, but the strength and rugged ness were born to him As if not satisfied in making him a young Hercules, nature gave him the most wonderful nerve and courage. He once told me that he would give *IOO to realize for five minutes what fear was. I saw him in some of the hot test places a man could get into, and I never saw him falter, or hesitate or make a mis take in doing just the right thing. A TOUGH SCRAPE IN DALLAS. One afternoon, after we had finished up some business in Dallas and were ready to go, we entered a saloon for a parting nip. It was full of gamblers, cowboys and rough characters generally, and every man wore a revolver in plain sight. We were sipping our drink when burly big ruffian, who was a fighter from way back, intentionally fell against Sloan with considerable force, and then stood off and leered at him. and then said: “I’m waiting for you to ax my parding fur that, banty.” Sloan never carried a weapon of any sort, while in a town. He looked the big fellow over in a cool and quiet way, and finally asked: “Did you intend to insult ine, sir?” “Insult ye!” echoed, the other. “Who talks of insults? Why, ye little game cock from somebody’s barnyard. I'll give ye two minutes to git down on your knees to me.” “If you do not beg my pardon before T finish this glass,” replied George, “I will make a wreck of you.” By this time everybody in the saloon had crowded around us, and it was easy to see we had no friends there. There was some thing in Sloan's eve and tone which cau tioned the big fellow, and if left to himself he would have retired from the scrape. But he was egged on and braced up by the crowd, who ached to see a row, and he stepped back a little, drew his revolver, und growled: “Now, banty, get down on your mar row-bones, or you’ll take a dose of lead.” Sloan leaned on the bar with his elbow anft sipped his wine slowly, paying no fur ther attention to any one. He was perhaps a minute and a half finishing his glass, and during the last half minute he was covered by the man’s revolver. When he set the glass down he wiped off his mouth, returned the handkerchief, and then turned and ad vanced ujxm the ruffian. The man fired point blank at his head, cut off a lock of hair, and the lull let killed the bartender. Before he could fire again George seized him, one hand on his throat and the other on his knee, lifted him high in the air and held him thus for ten seconds. Then he gave the body a fling upon some whisky barrels ten feet away. It was an astonish feat of strength, and the silence of death fell upon the room. When it was broken it was by a man who had tiptoed over to the barrels to look at the ruffian, and who hoarsely whispered. “Great heavens! Tom is as dead as a fish!” So he was. The iron fingers had choked the life out of him as he was held aloft, and when he struck the barrel, almost every bone in his body was broken. George stood there tor two or three minutes looking from one to the other, and then said: “Does any body else want me to go down on my knees ?” Never a man replied; never a hand was lifted, as we went slowly out and mounted our horses and road away uuiyolested. ONE OF THE NERVIEST THINGS in Sloan’s career happened at Navasota, on the Brazos river. We were sitting on the veranda of the hotel when a fighter entered the villuge on horseback. Armed with a Winchester and two revolvers, he took a drink or two and then startl'd in to capture the town. There was only one street and he rode up and down this at full gallop, firing right and left and uttering terrific yells. In five minutes he had the town. People disappeared from sight and everybody was thoroughly cowed. The fellow fired two shots among tho sitters on the veranda, ana we stampeded. 1 own up that I had no de sire for a closer acquaintance with the rufflna. and I was among the first to seek cover. When we were all inside I peered cautiously from a window and saw Kloun still outside. He was on his feet, leaning against a column of the veranda, and smoking a cigar as coolly as you please. I shouted for him to come in. but he shook his head. Appeals were made by others, but he turned a deaf ear. The cowboy had by this time reached the lower end of tho street, and turned to come back. He came at a gallop, hut checked his horse in front of the hotel and tired three shots at Sloan, from a distance of fifty feet. The first zip ped past his ear, the other two cut cloth without drawing blood. We were looking full at the shooter from the windows, ana as lie fired his third shot without bringing his man, a look of wonder came to his face, and he shouted: “Who are you, man or devil?” George sauntered along to the steps, slowly descended and approached tho man, and as he came near enough ho grabbed for him. Next instant the cowboy was pulled off his horse and being literally mopped all over the road. He tried to use a weapon, but was disarmed witli scarcely an effort, and when George got through with him he lay as one dead. Rifle, revolvers and knife were broken and flung in a heap besides, and George sat down on the stops to finish his smoke, {le ha/1 kept his cigar alight through the fracas. 1 personally inter viewed the doctor who was called to see the cowboy, and he gave mo the list of injuries, as follows: Left arm broken, thumb on right hand broken, three scalp wounds, right shoulder probably dislocated, three teeth knocked out, five had bruises on various parts, one eye closed. The fight did not last three minutes, and yet the tittle giant laid the fellow up for three months, and taught him a lesson he never forgot. 1 saw and talked with him a year later, and he told me that he was not entirely well from the drubbing. A Furniture Factory Burned. Kt. Louih, Kept 15.—The manufacturing establishment of the Joseph i’otoi's Furni ture Company, at Chambers street anil Blair avenue, was hurtled out last night.

London Letter to San Francisco Argonaut. The secret of it is, of cou’.-se, that the Queen isn’t fashionable. Everybody is glad to see her when she passes or appears in public, is willing to doff his hat when the bond plays “God Save the Queen,” to drink her health whenever it is proposed, and to give her three cheers whenever the oc casion calls for the same. Of course it is the correct thing and “good form,” and all that, to attire one’s self in one’s smartest coats, frocks, hats and bonnets, wherever the Queen is to be; and not to be well and smartly dressed when she is present would lx; the highest of social treason. But the “good form” of the thing on the one side and the “high treason ’ on the other would be not so much on account of the Queen as because of the other swells one would be sure to meet, and who would never forget or forgive badly made, unfashionable or inappropriate clothing There is a sort of mutual compulsion and restraint, one on the other. The Queen never sets a fashion, though she may control and keep in bounds those of others’ origination—for example, sleeveless gowns, which she positively for bade to be worn at court, though they were worn everywhere else. The possessors of pretty, plump, white and gracefull* moulded arms naturally liked to show them, and the men didn’t object to the exhibition. Though the Queen set her face against the narrow shoulder-strap it didn’t make it unfashionable. Oddly enough Her Majesty doesn’t appear to mind how4ow the bodices are. I can hardly fancy any woman being possibly able to lower her bodice a hundredth part of an inch beneath the line adopted by the Princess of Wales. .She has pretty shoulders, a nice, •smooth neck, and a bust which, though hardly one for a sculptor’s model, is rounder and more billowy than those of nine-tenths of the other decollete dressers of high life. For my own part, I haven’t the least objec tion to the low-necked dresses whseh prevail in England. If they could but be limited to people with nice necks like the Princess of Wales,and let me mention another, the Princess Louise—no one would or could have a word to say. I didn’t think the Queen ever “went in” for dress. Most decidedly she doesn’t go in for it now. The other day, only, down at the Isle of Wight, at Cowes, or Newport, or Ryde, she was going about with a lot of foreign potentates and dignitaries, in a round dowdy-looking hat! Fancy a Queen, and one of her age, too, wearing a low crowned hat What the other people must have thought, I can’t begin to say. Of course, we all know that indifference to dress isn’t a vice; and that a woman may make a good and sensible Queen though she may not care what she wears. It is not that. All I mean to imply is that the Queen’s influence in a fashionable sense is nil. Power she may possess to compel people to abstain from the observance of a fashion of another’s creation, but influence to guide them in adopting one of her own sugges tions she has not. EXPLAINING A MYSTERY. Strange Insects Cause the Bad Odor of Electric Lamps. Prom the Rochester Post-Express. “Someone sent a letter to the Post-Ex press a few days ago asking if the electric lights gave out a bad odor,” said Manager Redman, of the Brush company, to-day. “You might tell him that the lamps are the causa of a bad odor at this time of the year, but it does not come from the electric fluid nor from the burning of the carbons. The explanation is very simple and would be manifest to your correspondent if he had ever been present at the cleaning of a lamp after a worm night. The Jight attracts innumerable insects that kill themselves in contact with the lamp and collect there by the pintful. The mass of decaying ani mal matter gives out the offensive’odor that the correspondent complained of. Ido not wonder at his complaint, for the stench is part icularly offensive. In certain situations we are obliged to protect the lamps with wire gauze to prevent the winged creatures from flying against them and interfering with the light. Ever since the introduction of electric lights here the workmen at the various works have been wondering at the strange and varied visitants that come into the rooms at night. Our works at the lower falls are particularly well situated to at tract all sorts of creatures that fly by night, and we have a very miscellaneous collection pinned on the walls, after the fashion of regular entomologists. The boys have had some monster moths come in at night, and ail the specimens were duly pinned to the wall. It might interest a col lector to call and examine our cabinet. Most of these we have, seem to fly alto gether at night, for they are of a kind that I never see by day. In former years we frequently caught a large butterfly, but I have not seen one of them this year. Per haps their season for skirmishing by night does not arrive until later in the year. By the way. the men at the works occasionally assume the functions of experimental phi losophers, and try electrical experiments on various living creatures, including man. Cats, dogs ana snakes are favorite subjects for experiment, and the dog or cat that has once ventured into an electric light works without a friend to jiroteot him from ex perimentalists is likoly to go away with such a lively recollection of his experience that he will never call again. Dogs or cats that are given a shock seem to regard it as some thing unnatural and diabolical—that is, if they have any idea of such things. They exhibit symptoms of fear that are not mani fested when they are hurt by ordinary means. We caught some snakesj in the rocks near the works and found that a slight shock was enough to kill them. Great and small ones never made a movement after receiving a current.” Consumption, Wasting Diseases, And general debility. Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hy pophosphites; the one supplying strength and flesh, the other giving nerve [lower, and acting as a tonic to the digestive and entire system. But in Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Ilypophosphitcs the two are combined, and the effect is wonderful. Thousands who have derived no jiermnnent lienefit from other preparations have lieen cured by this. Scott’s Emul sion is iHirfectly palatable and is easily di gested by those who cannot tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil. SPORTING GOODS. GUNS! ENGLISH BREECH LOADERS. AMERICAN RREECB LOADERS.

This makes five boxes of your most valuable remedy that I have sent for, one only being for myself. I had the tetter os bad as any one ever did. I suffered night and day until a friend told me to send for your TETTERINE, and it would cure me. This I did, and was cured in a few days. The first box cured me and two of my friends. Mr. M. M.

This is for Mr. J. M. Youngblood, who has the tetter so bad tii*i lie cannot get about to do anything, and requests me to send for two boxes.
