i ESTABLISHED 1850. ) j J. H. EfcTILL, Editor and Proprietor f CLEVELAND GOING BACK. THE DAY AT MONTGOMERY ONE OF THE TRIP’S BEST. flplendid Order Preserved Everywhere the Visitors Went—Gov. Seay De livers the Address of Welcome—The President’s Reply of the Same Kind as His Speeches Everywhere. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 20.—After a good night’s rest on the special train the Presidential tourists arrived hero at 8 o'clock this morning. There were the usual large crowds in waiting, but the strictest, order prevailed. Commerce street, from the station to the hotel, nearly half a mile away, was lined by troops on each side who kept a wide avenue open from curb to curb. Gov. Seay, Mayor Reese and Col. Newman, President of the State Agricultural Society, who composed the receptiou committee, were within the lines, and conducted the guests at once to their carriages and then to the hotel. The manner of the reception made an exceedingly favorable impression upon the minds of the President and his companions. At the hotel Senator Pugh, Senator Morgan, the members of the Governor’s staff, the Presi dent of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, ex-Gov. O’Neil, Congressman Davidson and a number of ladies greeted the city’s guests in the hotel parlors, where half an hour was spent in making or re newing acquaintances. The Presidential party breakfasted at the hotel with Gov. and Mrs. Seay, Col. and Mrs. Newman, Mayor Reese and daughter, ex-Gov. O’Neil, Senator Morgan, Senator Pugh and a few others, after which they reviewed the troops from the balcony of the hotel. There were about I.OUp men in the column, includ ing a troop of cavalry and a battery of ar tillery. NEW ORLEANS’ PERSISTENCY. The President has received a telegram from the Mayor of New Orleans, stating that a committed Is on the way to ask that his trip be extended to that city. Col. Lament replied that the President’s impera tive engagement* make compliance with the request impossible. After the review and before the party took carriages for a ride about town, to Mrs. Cleveland was the sur prised recipient of a unique and beautiful souvenir. It is a jewel case in the form of a bale of cotton, about 8 inches in length and proportionate in depth and width. It is made of pure silver and is a very artistic production. Its sides are of oxydized silver, representing the bagging of a bale, while frosted spots bear a striking resem blance to snowy cotton bursting from its confinement. The plantation mark upon the end of the bale is “G. C., 1888,” and the warehouse mark on its top is “F. F. C.” The inside of the cover bears the inscrip tion, “presented Mrs. Grover Cleveland by the Mayor and City Council, as a token of their regard on the occasion of her visit to Montgomery, Alabama, Oct. 20, 1887.” The presentation was made byMayorßeese inthe name of the mnncipality. The ride through the beautiful city was a most enjoyable feature of the day’s demonstra tion. Public and private buildings were elaborately adorned, and everything wore a gala appearance. GOV. SEAY’S ADDRESS. The welcoming address of Gov. Seay, which was delivered upon the arrival at the fair grounds, was as follows: The Chief Magistrate of 65„000,000 of free, self governed people, having traversed thous ands of miles across the great continent, which is their home, comes to visit a State which, in material resources, in population and sentiment constitutes one part of the most superb and greatest fabrics of government which has ever been erected by man. From the great lakes to our doors he has come unheralded, tenderly ac companied, but surrounded by no guards. There is no crown on his brow nor any sceptre in his hand, but a reality of dignity and power attends him greater than that of any king. He finds us in the grace of a beautiful harvest, the answer of earth, air and sky to the labor and skill of the husbandman, and in the realization and materialization of a material development sur passing the dreams of the visions of our past and above and beyond all. and priceless in the supreme enjoyment of the blessings of civil liberty secured by just laws and a well ordered commonwealth. The successor in the right line of Washington, of Jackson and Lincoln, he represents in law and in fact the unity of the American people. Mr. President, in the name of the people of Alabama I welcome you to her borders and to her capital city. THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY. To this the President replied: 1 am very glad to be able at the conclusion of a most delightful, and, I hope, improving se ries of visits throughout the country to s >e a lit tie of the State of Alabama and its jieqpie and its capital city. 1 believe that no Southern State ha.-4within itself more elements of agricul tural growth and development than Alabama. There is hardly a food product which is not rep resented in its agriculture. It has within its borders abundant for ests of useful and valuable timber waiting for utilization to the needs of man, while its mineral resources, marvelous and in exhaustible. give assurance of wealth and com mercial greatness. In means of transportation your State is hardly less favored. About two thirds of your counties are bounded or inter sected by rivers navigable fir easily made so- Your railroad facilities, already great, are con stantly increasing, and your outlel to the ocean is found in the largest and fine*: bay on the Gulf of Mexico. A State thus favored by nature, and so profusely blessed by the gifts of Providence, cannot but occupy a com manding position in the Union of States which constitute this great nation, nor can any have a greater stake in the welfare and progress of the entile country or in the har monious and friendly feeling upon which these depend. As you gather your agricultural pro ducts and as you increase their volume and variety you are not only enriching yourselves and your State, but are adding lustre to our national glory. Your iron ore taken from the same field to its manufacture supplies a power ful element of national cohesion, and in its manufacture you are preparing the strongest bonds of national unity. Every ton of iron you are enabled to furnish a Northern State goes far toward destroying sec tional feeling. Your fellow countrymen appre - date the value of intimate and profitable busi ness relations with you, and there need he no fear that they will permit them to be destroyed or endangered by designing demagogues. The wickedness of these partisans, who seek to aid their ambitious schemes Jjy engendering hate among a generous people is fast meeting ex posure, and yet there is and should be an in sistence upon strict adherence to the settlement which has • been made of dis puted questions, and upon unreserved accep tai ce of such settlement. As against this I believe no business consideration should prevail, ami I firmly believe that there is Ameri can fairness enough abroad in the laud to insure proper and substantial recognition of the good faith which you have exhibited. We know that you still have problems to solve involving con siderations concerning you alone: questions be yoml the reach of Federal laws or interference, and with which no one but you should deal, l nave no fear that you will fail to your manful duty in these matters, ii ! U|l - V I not., in extension of the thoughts "id li I have before suggested, say to S l the educational advantages and care which may be accorded to every class of your citizens have relation to the general character ‘■t the entire country, as intimate ami potential “ your productions and the development of your mineral resources have to its material [’.’'"Parity!' lam informed that three-fourths or the population of your State is engaged in agricultural pursuits, uud lam glad that my , ; s| f *0 Montgomery occur* at the time your ‘', , aif * s m progress. Such exhibitions can not rail to stimulate interest, and induce improvement, and surely there is no '“■fter index to a State’s material vendition and certain wealth than is afforded ny such a general display of its product*. I She Moftiina fieto#. shall return to my official duly grateful to the people of your State and capital for the cordi ality of their welcome, fully impressed with the greatness of Alabama, but also with a feeling that she cannot evade, if she would, the re sponsibility to the entire country which her greatness and commanding position have cast upon her. It was due to the remarkable self control and good order preserved by the audience, of perhaps 20,000, at the fair grounds that both speeches were audwleto the very out skirts of the throng. The President’s ap pearance to respond was the signal for a wild outburst of cheers, and he was fre quently interrupted by applause, and oc casionally a fervent interjectory “God bless you” from the speaking stand. The party were escorted in their carriages about the fair grounds, this being for the limited time at the committee’s disposal a more accepta ble mode of giving the people an opportuni ty to see the President than by the ordinary way of passing the multitude before him. The special train was brought to the fair grounds and the party boarded it and started for home at 1 o’clock. A BIG FEATHER IN THEIR CAP. Calkra, Ala., Oct. 20.—The good order in Montgomery was maintained to the mo ment of departure. It seems to have lieen the result of the forethought of the author ities and the excellent plans made by them, based apparently upon the experiencies of the travelers in other places and described in the Associated Press dispatches. The hotel people temporarily surrendered their functions to the Governor and Mayor, who for the moment became both landlords and dictators. To guard against remote possibilities of delay of in conveniences in case the members of the Presidential party should liecome separated from their fellows, they were supplied in advance with cards bearing the signatures of the Governor and Mayor authorizing them to pass the guards anywhere at any time, but no occasion was found for their use, Montgomery somehow reminded the vis itors of Madison, \Vis., both in points of re semblance and those of contrast. Each is a type of its section, combining the pictur esque features of a roomy country village with the advantages of a modern city. CHARACTERISTIC SCENES. The President’s entertainers in Mont gomery lamented or apologized for much in the architectural features of their town that was ancient, but the visitors would have nothing changed. Broad streets, lined with old-time mansions and cottages, shad'd by magnificent trees and surrounded by flowers and shrubs, even the negro cabins with their quaint groups of men, women and children, were all in keeping and were the elements of a scene fa miliar to strangers in pictures of the South, but never before witnessed in fact. The travelers having within ten days had a chance to experience the hospitalities of all sections of the country between Min neapolis, where snow actually fell upon them, and Montgomery, where banana trees were found growing in the open air, turned their faces homeward with a promise from the railroad people that a run of forty-two hou*s should land them in Washington. A TURNOUT AT ROME. Rome, Ga., Oct. 20. —Ten thousand peo ple gathered at the depot of the East Ten nessee road at Rome, at 9:30 o'clock to-night, to greet the President and Mrs. Cleveland. Huge bonfires blazed up and down the track, and over it were thrown two mag nificent arches of electric lights. The im mense concourse of people gave expression to its enthusiasm in frequent cheers for President Cleveland, and louder and even heartier cheers for Mrs. Cleveland, AT DALTON. Dalton, Ga., Oct. 20.—The people of this region are not behind those of the North west in the matter of bonfires. Rome, Ga., was all ablaze and a crowd of several thous and was at the station with the military and a brass band. The authorities have been telegraphing for three or four days urging the President to stop, and were very reluctant to take “No” for an answer. President and Mrs. Cleveland stood on the rear platform as the train pulled slowly through Rome about 9:15 o’clock, and the people had a good chance to see them. Piles of pine knots and torches were burning, and all the way stations, and many lonely negro cabins, made a show of demonstration. The train passed Dalton, Ga., at 11 o’clock. The tourists were about retiring, promising themselves a full night’s sleep. A Newspaper’s Humiliation. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 20.—The Tribune to-day publicly acknowledges the error it committed in publishing any mat ter uncomplimentary to Mrs. Cleveland during her visit to this city. Will E. Haskell, junior member of the Tribune Company, will assume over his own signa ture the responsibility for the Cleveland editorial and entirely exonerate Mr. Blethen from all knowledge, participation or responsibility in the article. CAPTURED SEALERS. The Order for Their Release Was Looked Upon as Fraudulent. Washington, Oct. 20. —The correspond ence between the Department of Justice and its officers in Alaska in regard to the release of the British vessels seized during the summer of 1886 for alleged violation of the seal fishery laws was made public to-day. It shows that Attorney General Garland telegraphed United States Judge Dawson and United States Attorney Ball, at Sitka, on Jan. 26 last to release the captured British sealing vessels Carolina, Onward and Thornton. The United States authorities at Sitka for some reason regarded the tele gram as fraudulent and did not obey it. The Department of Justice does not appear, from the correspondence, to have discovered that its order had not been obeyed until Oct. 12, 1887, when the Attorney General again telegraphed United States Marshal Atkins, at Sitka, to release the vessels, and three days later wrote a letter repeating the same instructions. AGRICULTURE'S CONVENTION. Interesting Papers Read--Officers Electea for the Year. Washington, Oct. 20.—At the Agricul tural Convention*his morning papers were read on “The Work and Needs of Experi ment Stations” and “Experiment and In vestigations Demanded by the Farmers of lowa.” Officers were elected under theaiew constitution as follows: President, George W. Atherton, of Pennsylvania; Vice Presi dents, S. I). Lee of Mississippi, 8. H. Pea body of Illinois, E. E. Brown of Alabama, M. C. Fernald of Maine, and George H. Cook of New Jersey; Executive Committee, Edwin Willets of Michigan, James A. Patterson of Kentucky, H. E. Alvors of Massachusetts, C. W. Dabney of Tennessee, and Charles K. Adams of New York; Secretary, Charles E. Thorn, of Ohio. After adopting a series of resolutions endorsing the proposed celebration at 'Wash ington of the celebration of the inaugura tion of the government under the constitu tion, and the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, the convention ad journed. Death of An Editor’s Wife. New York, Oct. 20.—Mrs. Stone, wife of David M. Stone, of the Journal of Com merce, died at her residence in Brooklyn last night of paralysis of the heart. SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1887. INCONSISTENCY DENIED. GLADSTONE SPEAKS TO 4,000 PEO PLE AT DERBY. No Such Coercion Measure as That Passed at the Last Session of Parlia ment Ever Passed While He Was in Office-Evictions Still in Progress. London, Oct. 20. Mr. Gladstone re ceived an address from the Irish residents of Nottingham to-day. In replying to the address Mr. Gladstone expressed the con viction that the discord between Catholics and Protestants would cease once home rule was established in Ireland. Mr. Gladstone addressed an audience of 4,000 persons in the drill hall at Derby to day. He was supported by Sir William Vernon Harcourt and, Baron Wolverton. The crowd climbed to the girders of the roof. When the orchestra played “God bless the Prince of Wales” hisses were heard from parts of the hall. The air of the song “Joey and Jesse,” which refers to Messrs. Joseph Chamberlain and Jesse Collings, was also played and loudly groaned. Mr. Gladstone said their oppo nents were growing weaker, while their own forces were becoming stronger. He was ac cused of co-operating with those whom ho once denounced as marching with rapine and murder towards the disintegration of the empire. All the objections then pre sented had passed away. He did not believe that any Irish member of Parliament now contemplated or desired dismemberment of the empire. They wanted a union of hearts, not a union on parchment and paper. INCONSISTENCY DENIED. Why, he asked, should he be accused of gross inconsistency beca use he allied himself with Mr. Parnell and the Irish party, who were acting on lines of moderation which assuredly would in the end secure home rule. He flatly denied that his course was inconsistent. When told that he had passed coercion measures he could only say that a measure such as was contested at the last session of Parliament had never been passed while he was in office. That measure was not aimed at the suppression of crime so much as at the liberty of the press and the right of public meeting, as its applica tion proved. Lawful meetings had been prevented. The act had been used in such a manner as to painfully and flagrantly show that its provisions were different from those of any act previously passed. It was more sifbtle and piercing and fatal to the liberty of the people than any bill hitherto passed. It was enrolled as a per manent piece of legislation as much as the reform bill and the bill of rights. Coercion had utterly failed. In stead of trying to drive the disease inward ho believed the Liberals bad found a plan which would, by their Home Rule scheme, solve the long formidable problem. It was said that Ireland consisted of two nations. Italy was once in the same condition, but the parties there coalesced and formed one united kingdom. Why should not Ireland do the samet ULSTER MISUNDERSTANDS. Mr. Gladstone said he believed that the people of Ulster were simply laboring under a misunderstanding. They doubtless wanted assurance that connection between Ireland and England would be maintained. It was an utter mistake to suppose that any action of the Liberal party would have any other result. He believed that a satisfactory ar rangement could be made by which Ulster would be united with the rest of Ireland, and that in the end all would give willing obedience to the Queen. On leaving the hall Mr. Gladstone was heartily cheered. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, who resigned the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland on account of ill health, has been assured by his physicians that he can now safely re sume political life. A CONSERVATIVE RESIGNS. Mr. Evlyn, Conservative, has resigned his seat as member of Parliament for Dept ford. He declares in his letter of resigna tion that he cannot support the Irish policy of the government. “The government, he says, “are inflicting on Ireland under the name of law a system of one-sided tyranny. It is not a govern ment, but a confession of inability. If we cannot govern Ireland, the only way is to let Ireland govern herself.” Lord Randolph Churchill in a speech at Sunderland to-day denounced as immoral Mr. Gladstone’s proffer to make disestab lishment of the church in Wales a plank of the Liberal platform in return for the sup port of his Irish scheme. ONE VOTE PER HEAD. Mr. Churchill said at Sunderland to-day that he was willing to support the principle that one man should have only one vote, unless the Conservative party opposed that principle, a contingency unlikely to occur. Mr. Gladstone, he said, expressed his ideas on all subjects in the vaguest manner. He spoke of abolishing entail. If he meant simply reference to the lives of children yet unborn, he (Mr. Churchill) ngread with him, as did, probably, a majority of the members of Parliament, but he was opposed to a mere radical innovation. Ho thought the protection question was subject for meditation. The main reason why he himself had not joined in the argument was that he believed that only low prices for the necessaries of life were com patible with stability of a democratic con stitution. He favored bold legislation in the direction of temperance, not on moral, but on economical grounds. He was strongly op [toned to the disestablishment of the church either in England, Scotland or Wales. Nothing but unmitigated evil and dissolution could possibly result from the appropriation of religious principles for secular purposes. Mr. Gladstone was silent on the greatest of all domestic questions —questions of reform and retrenchment in the finance depart ment and of public education. He (Lord Churchill) advocated the cause of temper ance and free education as conservative measures. Unlike the Glndstonians, the Unionists were to deal with these questions immediately. He had yet to learn how a majority of 100, when led by in telligence and courage, could bo successfully resisted by a disorganized and vicious minority. Even if Mr. Gladstone succeeded in forcing dissolution and obtain ing a majority, the home rule pro[xwnls would lie fought to the last grip, even to the aliolition of the House of Lords, thus certainly postponing these vital reforms until at least 1891. The registration bill foreshadowed at the Nottingham conference is really a reform bill, granting manhood suffrage, abolishing revising barristers and political agents, etc. Mr. Gladstone is the author of the measure. EVICTIONS STILL IN PROGRESS. Dublin, Oct. 20.—Three tenants on the estate of Lord Clanricarde have been evicted. One of the tenants, named Patrick Canipliell, strenuously resisted the officers, and during the inelee his daughter Margaret was struck on the head with a crowbar and severely injured. Eight women and two men wore arrested. A number of ejectment notices against tenants on the Kingston estate has been posted in Mitchellstown. United Ireland, Mr. O’Brien’s paper, prints six columns of repivts of mootings of suppressed branches of the national league. Application was made before Judge O’Brien, of the Court of Queen’s Bench here to-day for a writ of certiorari to quarii the verdict of willful murder rendered by the Coroner’s jury against the policemen who did the shooting at Mitchellstown. The application being unopposed by the At torney General, was granted. The appeals of Messrs. O’Brien and Man deville, from the sentence pronounced upon them will be heaixl by the Recorder of Cork at Mitchellstown, Oct. SI. The eviction of Clancy from his holding on the Vendeleur estate was null and void. The evicting party could not find Clancy, he being concealed in a box in his shop. davitt’s arrival. Michell Davitt was given a splendid recep tion on his arrival at Queenstown to-day from New York. In a speech thanking the assemblage he declared that the Irish race in America was more earnest than ever in the cause of home rule, and that American public opinion was unequivocally pronounced against coercion. He consulted courage, determination, and self sacrifice as a sure means to secure the early success of Ireland's cause. Asa result of the revision of the lists of voters the Nationalist leaders claim that they would win three other Ulster seats in the event of an election Messrs. Cox and Kheehy, the Nationalist members of Parlia ment,"will be prosecuted on account of the language they used in recent speeches in Clare. LONDON’S MOB. A Red Flag Causes a Stampede in Hyde Park. London, Oct. 20.—A number of Socialists and unemployed workmen gathered in Hyde Park to-day. One of the speakers un rolled and waved a red flag, crying: “The glorious Commune.” A section of the mob thereupon stampeded. Scores of persons in the crowd were thrown dowu and trampled upon. Those who stampeded reassembled later in another portion of the park. The erewd appointed a deputation to visit the home office. Upon the arrival there of the deputation they found that the Home Secretary was absent, but they secured an interview with a minor secre tary, who promised that he would present their views to the Home Secretary upon his return. A large crowd hod followed the deputation from the park to the Home Office and congregated about the building. After the interview was concluded the police charged the crowd, but were mot with resistance. A short but sharp struggle followed, in which the police were finally successful in dispersing the mob. Many persons in the crowd were injured and a number of arrests were made. CAFFAREL’S PUNISHMENT. Hia Name Struck from the Army and Legion of Honor. Paris, Oct. 20.—1 t was officially an nounced this afternoon that Gen. Caffarel has been removed from his post of Chief of the Staff of the War Office, and his name struck from the army list. He will receive a yearly pension of 8 000 francs. The Coun cil of the Legion of Honor has recommended that his name be struck from the list of members of the legion, and that he be de prived of the right of wearing any decora tion of the order. Gen. Caffarel has been lodged in the con ciergerie. Detectives in with Criminals. Moscow,Oct.2o. —Eleven detective officers have just been found guilty of conniving at crimes of notorious robbers. Five of them were sentenced to hard labor in the mines of Siberia and the others to various terms of imprisonment. The proofs of their guilt were few, but the Czar commanded that se vere sentences be imposed. A well-known thief named Tokolow denounced the officers to the Czar in a private letter. An Australian Steamer Wrecked. Melbourne, Oct. 20. —The colonial pas senger steamer Cheviot has lieeu wrecked at Port Philip. Thirty-five of the passengers and crew wore drowned. The remainder have arrived at Melbourne. The Cheviot was an iron-screw steamer of 704 tons reg ister and belonged to this port. Floods in Cuba. Havana, Oct. 20.—The floods in the dis trict of Rouque, near Carderas, are increas ing. The village of Rouque has been inun dated, and hundreds of persons have been rendered homelesi. Numerous springs have appeared and have formed small lakes, which are gradually uniting. Russia’s Import Duties. Berlin, Oct. 20.—1 tis stated that Russia intends to reduce the import duties on Eng lish goods 20 per cent., on French goods 10 per rent. On German goods no reduction will be made. Russia’s Land Taxes. London, Oct. 20.—Advices from Moscow say that the land tax has been increased in twenty-eight provinces of Russia, notably in the Baltic provinces. Sale of the Great Eastern. London, Oct. 20.—The steamer Great Eastern has been sold at auction for $150,- 000. KANSAS’ PROHIBITION LAW. Its Constitutionality at Stake In the Supreme Court. Washington, Oct. 20.—1 tis understood that the Attorney General of Kansas and the Prohibitionists of the State aro feeling much regret at the fact that when the liquor case of the State vs. Ziebold and Hazelin, which involve* the constitutional ity of the Kansas prohibition law, came up for bearing in the United States Supreme Court on the first day of the present term, there was no oral argument in the State’s behalf. The failure of the Attorney Gen eral to appear and argue the case orallv is said to have been due to some misapprehen sion with regard to the ilay for which the case was assigned. In order that the questions involved in that case may not be decided until the court shall have heal’d oral argument in support of the Kansas law, Samuel W. Packard, of Chicago, will ondoavor to morrow to get the court to entertain a motion to advance similar cases from lowa and one from Georgia presenting the same questions, and to postpone the decision of the Ziebold and Hazelin case until the oral argument shall have been heard in the former. To-morrow is not a regular motion day in the United States Supreme Court, but in view of the possibility that the decision may be an nounced on Monday in the eases already submitted and [tending, the Prohibitionists who are interested in tho question to be do- 1 termined are anxious that the motion should be made to-morrow. If the court' will not i entertain it, end if a decision should not tie j rendered in the Ziebold and Hazelin case on Monday the motion will then lie renewed. If the decision should tie in favor of the liquor men the prohibition movement would have to wait an amendment of the United State Constitution, for the State could not enforce prohibition laws.

The Charitable Mechanics’ Association Refuses Him Membership. Boston, Oct. 2U—At the quarterly meet ing of the Massachusetts Charitable Me chanics’ Association, held last evening, mi unusual thing occurred. A candidate for membership of good social and business standing was rejected. This is re,markable on account of the two-thirds vote electing, and more remarkable, doubtless, on account of the rejected applicant tieing tho Mayor of Boston. The adverse vote upon the Mayor’s application for mem bership is the talk of the town to-day. At the City Hall the news created a sensation. Everybody talked aliout it and wondered what it meant. The Mayor’s Secretary told a reporter that hi* honor did not care to make any statement about the matter. All seem to agree that it is a matter of politics. _ Burned at Her Wharf. Wilmington, N. C., Oct. 20.—The steamer Regulator, an iron vessel of about 850 tons, belonging to the Clyde line, and running between Sew York and this city, was burned at her wharf about 1 o'clock this morning.

Private letters received here indicate much suffering, and the indications are that aid will Vie asked for from abroad. It should be given with a generous hand, for Tampa has suffered a blow that will be felt for years. The Palntka ladies are braver than the men, judging from the many who remained there instead of leaving in the first mad rush.

Another lady, one residing near the Woolsey house, where the death occurred, wrote to a friend here in reply to sympathetic messages, and said she was not alarmed. Sho added that she did not leave, as at that time they (her self and children) bad been exposed to all the infection they would be likely to, and if they were to lie sick at all she preferred to be at home, where comfort and good care and attention could lie had.

THE APPEAL. Washington, Oct. 20. —Gen. Roger A. Pryor and Messrs. Black and Solomon ar rived this evening and had a conference with ex-Represeutative John Kundolph Tucker at the latter's office, to-night, pre l>aratory to the hearing which Associate Justice Harlan, of the United States Su preme Court, will give to-morrow morning to their application for a writ of error in behalf of the condemned Anarchists. The principal point which the counsel for tha Anarchists will make in support of their ap plication is that the Illinois statute of 1874, providing that talesmen shall not be consid ered disqualified as juror* bt cause they have formed impressions from newspaper a< counts is contrary to the constitution of tha State of Illinois and also to the constitution of the United States. They have other claims but this seems to be the chief one. Gen. Butler agrees perfectly with them. They all expect that the application for tha writ of error will tie granted. The case might hang in the Supreme Court for three years in that event, ir it should not be ad vanced, but it undoubtedly would be ad vanced. RAHWAY'S MYSTERY.
