A MOTHER S FRIGHT.
A Splash In the Well Which She
Thought Was Made by Her Son's
Body.
Midville, Ga., June 26.— This afternoon
an amusing incident occurred. Mrs. Moore
sent her little boy Allen to the well to get a
bucket of water. After the little fellow
bad been gone for some minutes, Mrs.
Moore heard a splash in the well, which
sounded as if it might have been Allen falling
in tbe well She rushed out and not seeing
the boy any where her heart flew out of her
mouth. A i>w erger steps took her to the
well, and poerlng over .beside,sure enough,
there she saw the bucket floating upon the
top of the water and the bubbles coming
Si, but the poor boy was not in sight.
er conclusions were evident. In a
few seconds the whole town was at
the scene of disaster, with poles, and hooks
and other tools, to fish out the body, and
the news flew all over town that Allen
Moore was drowned in a well. The magis
trate, knowing that an inquest would be
required, gathered up his books and started
for the place, but to nis surprise, someone
met him round the corner with a broad
grin on his countenance, and stammered
through his convulsive peals of laughter
that Allen Moore wasn’t in the well, and
that they had found him swinging with
some children in Mr. Seales’ yard. When
he went on the errand for his mother, like
many a bad boy will do, be set the bucket
down on the well and ran off to play, but
the wind blew tbe bucket in the well, aud
when it fell, the sensation just related be
gan. _

The shipment of fruit from this point con
tinues to be heavy. The fruit crop has not
been so great in years, and although the
fruit is small it is of fine quality and ship
pers are realizing better profits than from
the few first inferior shipments. A canning
establishment at this place would pay hand
somely. for fruit is not more plentiful any

SHOT BY A NEGRO.
A Halcyondale Urime for Which No
Motive is Known.
Haltctondai.s, Ga., June 26. —This
morning about sunrise, H. J. Dutton
woods rider for and a member .of the
firm of E. W. Hodges & Cos., manufac
turers of naval stores in Bullock County,
about five miles from here, was shot and
probably mortally wounded by Alonzo
Evans, (colored) a turpentine hand em
ployed by Hodges & Cos. As Mr. Dutton
came cut of his room this morning and
-tarted to the still, Alonzo walked up be
hind him and '-ailed him. As he looked
around the negro, who was within ten feet
of him, discharged a load of buckshot into
his neck and face.
There had been no trouble between Mr.
D tton and the negro, and no reason can
be a signed for the shooting except that
Mr. Dutton had probably corrected him, as
he considered him too lazy about his work.
Mr. Dutton was a thorough-going young
man about 30 years old and has a! ways been
considered very peaceable, moral and
honest. He has many friends in the coun
ties of Bulloch and Scriven, and no pains
will tie spared to catch the negro, who will
doubtless be harshly dealt with if caught.
The negro still has his double-barreled
gun with him, and it is thought will offer
resistance to his captors when apprehended.
He has always borne the name of a mean
character. Two physicians have been
called to Mr. Dutton’s bedside, and every
attention possible will be rendered.
COLUMBUS' CHESTNUT.
Tbs Cowhiding Affair Still In an Un
settled State.
Columbus, Ga., Jnne 26.—Judge Robin
son of Opelika came to Columbus to-night
to know why the Enquirer-Sun had refused
to publish a communication written by
Felix Carlisle in reference to bis chastise

insulting his little daughter. Mr. Jenkins
bad written a letter to Mr. Carlisle which
was agreed upon by the friends of both as
a settlement of the affair, in which be with
drew tbe charge and apologized for cow
hiding Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Carlisle insisted
upon publishing the letter, with comments
from himself, to which the friends of Mr.
Jenkins objected, and they went so far as
to say that the apology of Mr. Jenkins
would be withdrawn if Mr. Carlisle in
sisted upon publishing any comments him
self.
ACTION OF THE PAPER.
On Monday Mr. Carlisle presented his
communication to the Enquirer-Sun. It
was referred to the gentlemen who acted
for Mr. Jeukins. They said that they were
willing that the letter shou and be published,
but that nothing else should go with it.
Judge Robinson was informed to-night of
this decision, but it is not yet know n what
cou se he will pursue. The Enquirer-Sun
offered to publish the Carlisle communica
tion, but insisted upon its right to state that
Mr. Jenkins’ friends would withdraw his
apology. This Mr. Robinson refused to i
agree to, and so the matter stands.

holding an adjourned term of Sumter supe
rior court to empty the jail of
criminals. Robert Wiggins (colored)
was to-day convicted of murdering
Henry Williams (colored) last wiuter.

deputy. He managed to get hold of a pis
tol and firing one shot at the deputy fled to
the woods haud-cuffed. The deputy fired
two shots at the fugitive, but it is supposed
that neither took effect. Johnson, who is
said to be a very bad man,, was making for
the Alabama line and is probably now in
that state.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1889.
FEVER AMONG THE TOILERS.
Forty-Nine Taken sick at Johnstown
Within Twenty-Four Hour*.
Johnstown, Pa., June 2& —Acting Sur
geon Foster, of the Fourteenth regiment
and laboring camps, reported this morning
that within the last twenty-four hours,
forty-nine laborers were taken seriously
sick with symptoms cf typhoid fever.
Many of them were sent home and others
are being cared for in the hospital. The
local phvsicians, many of them sufferer* by
tbe fl >oa, have sent representatives to Gen.
Hastings protesting against the presence
here of Red and Yellow Cross physicians
who are caring for all the sick to the finan
cial disadvantage of the local doctors.
Gen. Has.mgs refused to act in the
premises.
The river channel above the railroad
bridge was for the first time opened this
morning, after five heavy blasts had been
discharged. Engineer Phillips this m irn
ing ordered several large grappling hooks,
with which he proposes clearing away the
channel of the nver. There ore thousand)
of tons of steel wire washed there from the
Gautier wire mills. Ihe wire has become
twisted aud tangled at the bottom of the
stream and tends to imj>eie the flow of th 9
wreckage blown up by dynamite.
Reports sent out regarding the dissatis
faction over the Chicago por able houses
are condemned by the authorities here.
All the houses brought here are entirely
satisfac ory to those living in them.
TRICKS OF EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.
Gen. Hastings issued the following an
nouncement tnis afternoon: “Some em
ployment agencies in New York, Pitts
burg and other cities are send
ing laborers to Johnstown. They
tell them they will be given transportation
and $2 per day wages. These promises are
practically false pretenses. There are more
lab irers in Johnstown now than can be
employed, and the rate of wages is not as
high as stared. No workmen should come
to Johnstown at this time to seek work.”
NUMBER OF MEN AT WORK.
The force of men now employed under
the contractors in the flooded districts of
the vicinity number about 1,500, having
been reduced from about 3,000 by the dis
charge of 500 of McKnight’s men, mostly
from New York this morning. Iu addition
to the 1,500 men under contractors there
are probably 500 others worki g in various
places about the city on their own
account. The contractors now in charge
are four in number, and each has a force of
about 350 men and 112 teams. The reason
given for the discharge of the men this
morning is that they were not needed.
Now t oat the streets are pretty well open it
is claimed that a smaller force can work
more effectively. The feeling among the
citizens generally appears to be
that the work of clearing np the
wreck and removing the debris and mud
is progressing satisfacb irily. The princi
pal streets are pretty well cleared, so that
w agons can traverse them in all directions.
Maj: Phillips concluded the work of blast
ing to-night, and it is expected that the
river channel will be speedily cleared.
Four bodies were found to-day, three of
them children, and were not recognized.
TUB DAM UNSAFE.
Coroner Evans this evening resumed his
inquest on the body of Mrs. Helen Hite, a
victim of the AkkL Expert witnesses only
were examined. J. L. Coffin, of this place,
a mechanical engineer, wastne first wit less,
and said he considered the South Fork dam
unsafe as it leaked. There was, be said, no
means of drawing off the water.
John Fulton, go eral manager of the
Cambria Iron Works, was the next wit
ness. He said that hay had been used to
stop up the leaks in the dam, and he be
lieved that the repairs made after the
bursting of the dam in 1888 were not per
fect. He also mentioned that escape pipes
should have been used.
Col. T. P. Roberts, a civil engineer of
Pittsburg, said discharge would not have
been a y benefit. He considered the dam
perfectly safe, and attributed its bursting
to the extraordinary rains on the mor ing
of the fatal disaster. He believed that the
*bursting of the dam contributed to the dis
aster of the flood.
John G. Parks of Pittsburg, also an engi
neer, said he was at South Fork when the
dam burst, aud in detail he told of the rapid
rise of the water. When he arose on the
fatal morning he found the water surpris
ingly high and the lake was boiling
and boi-teroua He told of how
the water had extended back into the woods
and said he had rowed in a yawl over
adjoining fences. The water rose from 8
to 10 inches an hour. He saw the lake
overflow and he warned the people of South
Fork and Johnstown of the approaching
disaster. The inquest was adjourned until
Monday next when other engineers will be
examined.
DAMAGE TO RAILROADS.
Philadelphia, June 38.—The board of
directors of the Pennsylvania railroad to
day held their first meeting since the recent
floods, which did so much damage to lines
owned, leased and operated by that com
pany. Reports, sufficiently iu detail, were
presented to show that on all the lines of
the Pennsylvania railroad system, in
cluding the Philadelphia and Erie railroad
and the Northern Central railway,
the damage done would not exceed from
$1,500,000 to $1,750,000. This amount will
be entirely supplied from the surplus profit
of all the companies whose lines were af
fected, which surplus is intended to meet
just such extraordinary emergencies. The
current net revenues of the sever and com
panies will, therefore, not be affected in
any way except by the loss of traffic.
PEN TUP FLATHEAD FURY.
No Change in the Menacing Situation
on the Reservation.
Helena, Mont., June 26.—There is no
change in the Indian trouble ou the Flat
head reservation. Capt. Sloan’s company
of Montana militia is at Jocho, at which
point 10,000 rounds of ammunition were
sent on the captain’s order. Col. Lawson
of Fort Missoula has gone to the scene with
three companies of the Twent -fifth in
fantry and three days rations. A dispatch
from Jocho says the Indians shot by the
sheriff’s posse died yesterday and the situa
tion gros more serious, Indians from
various parts of the reservation are flocking
to the scene of the trouble. The greatest
alarm is felt for the settlors who
live on the borders of the reserve.
Last night all save seven of the
sheriff’s posse returned to Missoula, leaving
the military to assist the sheriff in making
arrests. {Seventy-five men spent the entire
day trying to find the Indians wanted, but
without s ceess. Three hundred Indians
are camped near Ravalli, and swear they
will not give up the tnurderors, whom the
Indian police aud half breeds are conceal
ing. The sheriff is determined to have
them, and if he makes another triala battle
will surely ensue.
DAKOTA’S REDSKINS.
Pine Ridge Agenct, Dak., June 26.
The unfriendly combination here remains
intact. The Indians are evidently awaiting
instructions from outside advisers, and as
matters now stand it is useless to spend
more time here at present. The commis
sioners will leave probably Thursday for
the Crow Creek agency. At Rose
bud many signatures will be
received after the commissioners
leave. Red Cloud bal a talk with Maj.
Warner yesterday afternoon. He made
no explanation of the reason which governs
his action or any statement of w hat he
proposed to do in future. It is believed
that bo expects in some way to secure for
himself the distribution of the money to bo
paid under the bill for horses as the price
for his support.

PETROLBUM FUTURES.
The New York Consolidated and Other
Exchanges to Deal in Them.
New York, June 26. —Beginning to
morrow the consolidated exchange in this
city and the western exchanges will deal in
petroleum futures. The new move is not
relished by the Standarn Oil Company, and
its brokers refuse to trade in co-tracts for
future delivery, and are joined by some of
the largest coramjwion brokers. The New
York Stock Exchange was not recognized
by the otbor exchanges in tbe negotiations
for the new arrangement, but it made them
aware that it would Dot listen to any propo
sition for trading in options in crude oil
certificates or anything else.
INTEREST OF THE MEMBERS.
Members of the New York Stock Ex
change who are prominent in speculation
in petroleum, control nearly oue-half of the
outstanding certificates, and when the new
arrangement was agre don they called in
a large amount of the.r certificates, which
they had loaned to western operators, and
it was this that cause 1 the corner on Mon
day, and foroed the shorts to cover
at $1 pier barrel. No decision has yet
been arrived at by the producers’ union in
regard to exercising its option to put
2,500,000 barrets carried by them to the
Standard Oil Company at 90. One of the
principal producers said to-day that an
outside syndicate was bidding for the entire
1 t, and that it would be delivered to the
highest bidder. It is understood that the
syndicate is composed of members of the
New York Stock Exchange.

MADIB3N MENTION.
Damage Done by a Storm—Extension
of the Town Limits.
Madison, Fla., June 26.—Last Saturday
afteruoon Madison was visited by a heavy
thunder storm which lasted several hours.
The oldest citize is say that it was the
heaviest fall of water they have ever
known. On W. G. Jordan’s i lace, one mile
from town, considerable damage was donu,
tbe fruit being knocked off of the trees.
In different parts of the county consider
able fencing was blown down. The large
ware-room attached to the store of Maj. W.
H. Dial was struck by lightning during the
storm. The lightning struck on the south
side of the building, near the cornice,
making a hole iu the weather
boarding, ripping a plank on
the inside ceiling, ran down the shelving
and struck four singletrees which were in
a bunch leani.ig against the shelves, solit
ting them from end to end, thence striking
the floor, leaving a stripped place about
naif an inch wide, and disappearel under
the back door. Fortunately nobody was ii
the warehouse at the time, Maj. Dial’s
clerk, James W. Loig, Capfi Jack Liviug
ston, Beu Cubbeige and Johnnie Dial were
in the store. Mr. Lo ig had both arms
resting on the metaj part of the show-case
and Mr. Cubbedge had one hand on it, and
they both felt the shock, Mr. Long feeling
it pretty severely.
An election will be held on July 9, to
voto ou extending the town limits. It
promi-es to be pretty exciting, as there has
been a great deal of interest both for aad
against.
Miss Ida Davis, who has been attending
school at Colnmbia, S. C., has returned
home to spend her vacation.
Miss Mamie McClelland, of Live Oak, is

PICKPOCKETS OF PARIS.
The Skill of the Different Nationalities
as Light * ingered Gentlemen.
From, the London Globe.
The majority of the Paris pickpockets and
pickpockettes, according to M. Mace, are
foreigners, the English and the Italian being
the most numerous. The English pick
pocket is the best known; one meets him
everywhere; but he is by no means the
cleverest. He has obtained a reputation
which he does cot deserve. He is stiff in
his movements, and, although very clever
with his hauds, he has too' mucn of the
national phlegm about him. But he is an
indefatigable walker. He will visit all the
principal crowded points in Paris ill a
single day, sad fairly tires out the detect
ives who follow him. He is as wise as a
serpent, and never lets himself be enticed
from the path of prudence by temptation
to a dangerous attempt, He never remains
more tbau ten minutes in one crowd, and
seldom makes more than one vie im in the
same place. The race course is bis favorite
field of operations. All the pickpockets of
the north, English, Russian, Polish, Ger
man, are cool, methodical and tenacious,
and seldoral et a victim go before they have
emptied his pockets. Tbe German ’is ex
cellent at the method known as a Vcsbroaffe,
which consists in hustling tbe victim vio
lently, aud robbing him during tbe confu
sion which ensues. He also excels in the
“t ol au radin" —diverting the attention of
a shopman and then annexing the contents
of the till.
But the north is not alone in supplying
Paris with pickpockets. Italy and Spurn
furnish a numerous contingent. The Span
ish pickpocket deserves s.iecial mention.
Ho combines theft with devotion, aud
when arrested makes a revolting display of
hypocrisy protesting his innocence by all
the saints in tbe calendar. Tbe Italian is
extremely clever, is conscious for his supe
riority, and can often snap bis fingers at all
the detectives in Europe. Full of confi
dence iu himself, and rejoicing in his
triumph, he nevertheless, ends in ruiuing
himself. If the Italian only had the pru
dence of the Englishman he could laug.i at
the entire police of the universe; but, car
ried away by the southern fougue he gets
caught through remaining to repeat his
triumph in the same place.
NOTED PERSONAGES.
Mr. Cleveland's Business Methods and
Personal Habits—Fairchild's New
Banking Ventura
From the St. Louis Republic.
New York, June 30.—1f the politicians
of the cou itry who are already talking
freely about elections to occur more than
three years hence could see plain Grover
Cleveland, they would realize that their
gussip had little interest for the man who
goes in and out about a great city, just as
if no such thiugs as presidencies had ever
• ecu pied his attention, and as if for the
future such an office was certain to be abol
ished. The truth is, that no man ever got
away from a.l the surroundings of his high
office, after leaving it, so quickly as d.d
this man. President on Monday, sign
ing or vetoing bills at the capitol in Wash
ington, he was ip his law office iu New
York on Thursday mormug receiving his
friends and reidy for clients. From that
time to this he has attended to busine-s
quite as strictly as if he had been a clerk on
salary witn all his fees and sours to win.
His habits of industry, equalled by few
men in any position in life, are the same
here as they were in Buffalo, Albany and
Washington. He has that magnificent
physique, t::at faculty of working lo.ig and
sleeping little which is possessed by few
men. He goes back and forth to
work on the seventh floor of No.
45 William street, taking the ele
vated trains or the surface cars, as
may best suit his fancy. He walks much
about the streets, generally accompanied
by some friend, as he does not like g ing
alone. He neither seeks nor shuns the
crowds in the streets, and lives sensib y, as
lecomes a quiet, hard-working gentleman.
He has never been what is known as a
society man, and yet he has been compelled
since his retirement to accept many invita
tions to private dinners—never to a public
one without protest—geueraliy from a class
of people who have not got into the new
fashion of taking the world into their con
fidence every time they put their
legs under their own mahogany with
a guest or two. For the sunnier his
habits of life will vary from this routine
less than those of most men. Every F, iiay
afternoon he makes his way to the office of
the Fall River line and takes a sound boat
for an over-night trip. He travels without
servant or valet—a luxury he has never
indulged in. He is then on his regular
weekly visit to spend Saturday aud S..nday
at Marion, Mass., about forty miles’ jour
ney by rail from Fall River. He has taken
a small c ttage there —the property of a
Boston clergy man—for only two months.
This quiet village |is situated on a little
arm of Buzzard’s bay, and is in no
sense a fashionable resort. He
leaves on Monday afternoon, reach
i g New York on Tuesday and
putting in an appearance at his office. Mr.
Cleveland, contrary to the general idea of
him, is a reader of tho best books—not an
omnivorous consumer of everything just
from the printing press—but an intelligent
co Sumer of the best. He does not read
much general history nor a great deal
about politics aside from certain special
subjects in which he becomes interested.
Novels which have commended themselves
as worth attention get it fro n him. Few
me i in politics or business life read so much
poetry as does Mr. Cleveland—something
which seems to have gone almost out of
fashion. He reads the best newspapers and
has a genuine respect for them. When the
summer is over he will settle down in a
house on west side of Madison avenue, just
above Sixty-eighth street, where it is cer
tain that less attention will be given to
personal and politic il ambitions than in
5,000 other homes within five miles of City
Hall.
EX-SKCRERARY FAIRCHILD’S NEW EMPLOY
MENT.
Another man new to the life of this city
is Charles S. Fairchild, ex-Secretary of tue
Treasury. He comes here to engaie iu
business enterprises, having accepted the
presidency of the Security and Trust Coin
pa iy, which will soon open its doors at the
corner of Wall and William streets, just
ac oss from the sub-treasury, from the
steps of which Mr. Fairchild—in accord
ance with the custom of the Secretaries of
the Treasury—made last fall perhaps the
most notable and carefully prepared speeen
of his life. This new banking company
will be managed by notable men. In addi
to Mr. Fairchild himself it numbers
among its directors Col. Daniel S. Lamont,
ex-Cougressinan William L. Scott of Erie,
Pa., James G. Hill of St. Paul, president of
the St. Paul and Manitoba railroad, and
one of the richest man in the west, and
Samuel T. Hauser, ex-governor of Montana.
One-half the stock of the new institution is
owned by the New York Life Insurance
Company, which was moved to start it
ipaialy for the purpose of transacting its
own business. Its stock could be sold for
175—par being 150—if any could ba had,
even before it has opened its doors for busi
ness. Mr. Fairchild has bought a house on
Eighth street, just off Fifth avenue,
in ‘ the quaint old-fashioned Wash
ington Square district—long the most
fashionable quarter of the city.
Among his neighbors are ex-Mayor
Edward Cooper, Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, ex-
Judge Charles P. Daly, president of the
American Geographical Society, the widow
of Gen McClellan and Mrs. Hicks-Lord.
He has a fine country residence at Caze
novia in Central Now York. Mr. Fairchild
is a man of large wealth, not only in his
own right, as the heir of his father, who
died last winter, but through his wife, who
was a Miss Ledyard, a daughter of Ho
ratio Seymour’s sister, whose resemblance
to that distinguished man has always been
deemed so remarkable. Tho ex-secretary,
though still a young man, is considered out
of politics aud will devote his a tention to
business and to the satisfaction of the quiet
aud studi us tastes which have always dis
tinguished him.
Plutocrat Morton’s Magnificent House.
From the Philadelphia Piess.
The new residence of Vice President Mor
ton in its present grandeur will surpass all
other private dwellings in Washington, and
be a fitting basis on whies to reconstruct
at the opening of the republic’s second
century, the tame idea hitherto entertained
of the social functions of the vice presi
dency. In location it i3 a fitting companion
piece to the white house, from which it is
plainly visible in a straight line up the
broad sweep of Sixteenth street. It was the
handsomest residence in Washington when
built by Lieut. Broadnead, United States
navy, some ten years ago, but he wai soon
very glad to got aa ay from the seductions
of VV ashington life, and his friends were es
pecially glad to have him; and so the social
career of t.e mansion was short before it
fell into the hands of its charming deaf
mute mistress, Mrs. Alex. Graham Beil.
With her scholarly husband she has dis
pensed beautiful charities there, and in her
acquired speech, inaudible to her own
sealed ears, she has welcomed stately mem
bers of learned societies on many notable
occasions, as well as the ordinary social
world of the capi al. The upper story of
the house was destroyed by fire four years
ago, with many of Prof. Bell’s most valued
scientific meiuora bilia. Since it was rebui It
they have never looked upon it as their
permanent home, and were glad to yield its
bulky mnguificence to anew proprietorship
when the wealthiest Vice President in the
country’s history desired to become a pur
chaser. The hiuse is in the hands of
a prominent builder here, and its new
ground extension accommodates 150 feet
depth of drawing-room space, allbeaiti
fuliy south-wiudo ed and looking out upon
c mservatories and a love y landscape, 'inis
space is dividei i ito the drawing-room
proper, the art room and a dining-room 34
feet by 36. In one month more it is to be
■ready for the decorators. There are on the
main floor cloak rooms for ladies and men,
a large lobby, an office and a commodious
svstem of housekeeping rooms. It is a
mauy-ebambered house, where each of the
five daughters can nave, as at E.lerslie, her
own separate apartmen ,Jand leave plenty
for the u-es of hospitalitv.
Human beings are still being sold in the
famiuo-stricken districts of China. A child
