Wils Hatley is now in charge of the steamer Victorine, and makes daily trips to Palatka. The railroad project of Crescent City is not dead, but sieepeth. The reason given for the delay is the absence of Gen. Bentley. No fears are entertained of the introduc tion of yellow fever from Tampa as the quarantine regulations below here are very rigid. Crescent City is strictly dry and the probability is that she will remain so as the saloon closed up some weeks ago for lack of a paying patronage. Ehot in a Cotton Field.

London, Oct. 10. —The Caffarel-Liinouzin ease in Paris is a sad scandal. Mme. Limouzin is a vulgar adventuress. She is 41 years of age—a little, yellow, wrinkled, limping, humpbacked creature, with small, piercing eyes, extreme, volubility of speech and opnsiderable elegance of language. Last year she lived in the Boulevard Beaumar chais with a companion who called herself Comtesse de Boissier, Baronno do Beaure gard, or Marquise de Clemenea, and whose real name is Henriette Boissy, a eocotte of the commercial type, who used to keep a house at Parts where you drank tea, played baccarat and placed a louis under a candlestick each time you took the cards. Mme. Limouzin also has a husband, ail adventurer of smaller calibre. This trio carried on the business of an “influence agency'’ for the benefit of persons desiring employment in the ministries, promotions, government contracts, etc. Well in view in the draw iugroom were'visiting cards of eminent i>olitical personages, on which were written a few words, cards and writing being forged if necessary. The dupes on entering were struck by this niise en scene and the first interview ended by a deposit destined to grease tho palms of the Minis ters, Senators, Deputies and other notabili ties, with whom Mme. Limouzin professed to be on the best of terms. In reality Mme. Limouzin and the “Comtesse" passed their time writing politicians—notably M. Thi baudin and Gen. Boulanger—let ters containing flattery, threats, calumnies, offers of service and pro|>usitions of a most compromising character. Both M. Thibandin and Gen Bouianger finally warned the trio, through the police, to cease their manoeuvres. Then Mme. Limouzin and the “Comtesse’’ quar reled, and the former removed to a gor geous suite of rooms in the Avenue Wagram, where she continued her agency and entered into relations with Gen. Caffarel, an officer, who was overwhelmed with debts and had no longer any sense of honor or decency. The “Comtesse,” first of all, denounced her former accomplice to the police; then fol lowed complaints from various sources, and at length the police proceeded to watch Mme. Limouzin, thinking it was simply a question of one of those innumerable Hash agencies which abound in Paris, that para dise of adventurers. The inquiry led further than was expected. A detective sent to en trap Mme. Limouzin was taken by her to the Ministry of War and introduced to Gen. Caffarel, to whom the detective handed a sum of money in return for which, it was understood, he would receive the cross of the Legion of Honor. This sur prising discovery brought matters to a crisis. The Minister of War in the presence of M. Rouvier interrogated Gen, Caffarel, who confessed. Time was then implicitly given him to blow his brains out, but he dill not have the courage to take advantage of this supreme privilege. He was arrested and is now in prison with Mine. Limouzin. The case will be u formidable washing of dirty linen in the facts and personages in volved. Even the son-in-law of President Grevy, M. Daniel Wilson, is involved in many of Mine. Limouzin’s tried tripotages. With such a case as this before us, shall we say that corruption in the republic is less interesting than the depravity of the empire? WHO IS THAT REPORTER? Capt. Black’s Strange Story About the Bomb Throwing. From the Sew York Times. Chicago, Oct. 10.—A dispatch from Nor folk, Ya., printed here this morning made Gen. A. R. Parsons, brother of the con demned Anarchist, say that lie had proof that the bomb was thrown at the Hay market by Pinkerton detectives. “Iu No vember, 18X6,” says Gen. Parsons, “the Hon. John Hays wrote me to send to Room 15, 79 Broadway, New York, lor informa tion concerning my brother's case. Capt. Black and I asked Mr. Louis F. Post to see wha t was in it. Mr. Post was told by one of the best lawyers in New York that a newspaper man who had worked for the New York Star, but more recently in Chi cago, bad exhibited, while flushed with wine at Delmonico’s, a large roll of bills, saying that certain Chicago papers were paying him well to stay away from Chicago be cause lie alone bold evidence that would clear the accused Anarchists of the bomb throwing charges. The law yer told Mr. Post that he saw the bills and heard the young man’s statement.” Capt. Black was asked to-day what ho bad to sav on the subject. “The statement is true. Mr. Post, of New York city, investigated the matter and re ported substantially what is stated in tho dispatch.” “ Will you produce the professional report of Mr. Post?” “I do not feel at liberty to do so without first obtaining the consent of Mr. Post.” “Who is the reporter referred to?” “I cannot give you his name at present nor that of the man who heard the reporter make the statement in question. It would not be proper for me to do so until I have obtained Mr. Post’s permission. We never got into communication with the reporter, and ilo not know what iiis knowledge was. Wo did, however, substantiate the fact that there was such a reporter; that he was in Chicago at the time the Limb was thrown; that he left very soon afterward, and that he did work for a time thereafter on the New York Star.'' THE GREAT BOND FORGER. Brock way is Free Again After Three Years Imprisonment, i William E. Brockway, the well-known \ bond forger and counterfeiter, who, since j March 5.

Upon his carrying out this proposition to the satisfaction of the court, Judge Benedict discharged him i from custody with tue understanding that j if he were ever detected in another coun- j tericithig scheme against the govermne.it ‘ tbe suspended sentence would go into effect immediately. The particular crime for which he has just t<een serving sentence was the forging of a number of Morris and Essex railroad bonds. He was arrested for this in New York city on Nov.

A Day’s Happenings in South Caro lina’s Metropolis. The attention of the South Carolina mili tary is just at this time divided between the Atlanta Exposition and the Charleston Festival. The Charleston City Convention will be held on Nov. 11, at which there will bo nominated a Mayor, two Aldermen from each ward and six School Commissioners. Charleston has on its hands now five pub lic buildings, four of which are to be built up from the ground, and one, the City Hall, to be repaired. The entire cost of the build ings aggregates something over SIOO,OOO. The members of the Charleston base ball team drew their salaries Tuesday and were “released” by the club. Hungler mid Will iams left at once, anil Childs, Doyle, Hines, Kmith and others left yesterday. Powell and Glenn will remain until Katur day. The first block of the new granite pier of the custom house wharf was placed in posi tion yesterday morning. Judge Simon ton, of tne United States District Court, swung the stone into position. The occasion was made memorable by the breaking of a bottle of “brown stout.” The Executive Committee of the Young Men’s Democratic Club have determined to recommend the admission to membership in the club of all good Democrats regardless of other considerations. It is also one of the political on dits that the new organization will make an effort to secure an Alderman from each ward. The Town Council of Summerville have appointed a committee consisting of ten members, some of whom are Wardens, to inquire into the condition of the needy pool- in and around Summerville, with the object of making a report of their condi tion to the County Commissioners of Colle ton and Berkeley counties. Lieut. J. A. Hutton, of the Eighth In fantry, United States army, has located his headquarters in Charleston and will estab lish a permanent recruiting station there. The requirements of enlistment in the army have been raised to such a high standard of late that the government have found it necessary to establish six additional recruit ing dt pots, two of which are to be located in the South. One of these is to be esiab lished in Charleston and the other at Mem phis. Lieut. Hutton is charged with the establishment of the station in Charleston. THE VETERANS AT MACON.

Northern settlers are flocking to Florida. South bound trams on the Savannah, Flori da, and Western Railway go out loaded every day. The Central railroad pays, perhaps, the largest tax of any railroad corporation in Georgia, it being approximately between $23,000 and $25,000. The tax for 1887, due by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor gia road, and paid Tuesday, amounted to $17,800, and is, perhaps, the next largest amount paid by a railroad on property owned in Georgia. Tennessee Central and Alabama. This road will reach to Sheffield from Trenton. Tenn., where it makes connection with the Mobile and Ohio. At Milan it will connect with the Illinois Central and Louis ville and Nashville systems; and crossing the river at some point in Decatur county, will run through the western part of the iron ore field north of Sheffield. Between Trenton and Milan the road is about com pleted, and it is expected that it will be in full operation by Dec. 15. East from Milan the right-of-way is being cleared. Its early construction to Sheffield is considered fixed. ■Notice to Advertisers.
