A SERIES OK OVATIONS.
Fall River, Mass., Aug. 15. —From
Coucord to Fall River the trip was a series
of ovations, the number being limited only
by t. e stops that were made, and each
having a peculiar characteristic of its own.
Nashua was the only city where, after Cou
c rd, the Presideut left the train. There,
accompanied by Gov. Goodell and staff,
as well as by other prominent men,
he was driven through the city from one
depot to the other, under the escort of the
G. A. R. posts ami militia, and amid the
usual demonstrations. At Lowell a posi
tively immense throng of people crowded
the depot, tracks, buildings, bridges ail i
walla adjacent. After a brief stop the
train proceeded over the Birmingham
division of the Old Colony railroad, stops
being made at Midfield, South Framing
ham, Framingham, Foxboro, Mansfield and
Taunton, at each of which places crowds
greeted the President. At Fall River,
which was reached at 7:10 o’clock,
dent Choate of the Old Colony railroad
escorted the President through the lines of
spectators to room I'JS on the steamer Pil
grim. The boat had a long list of passen
gers who cheered the I’resi lent, i o-mor
row afternoon the President will reach

TANNBR’3 TENURE OF OFFICE.
The Corporal Realizes That It is Very
Uncertain.
Washington, Aug. 15. —Corporal Tanner
realizes that his tenure of office is not as
yet fixed. He has ignored the hints to re
sign, which his superiors have given, but
he knows that he may receive hints which
he cannot ignore. He is going to the na
tional encampment of the G. A. R.
to forestall such action. He is pull
ing wires to procure such an indorse
ment for his course from that encampment
as will make his position impregnable. Ho
expects to go accompinied by Uncle Jerry
Rusk and Col. W. W. Dudley, and escorted
by the depart neut of the Potumao delega
tion in a special train, with a brass band.
HIS SCHEME.
He hopes to hurrah his way through t’ e
oncampment. Conservative G. A. R.
mea express apprehension that
he may succeed in this attempt. “If
he does,” said one, “it will seriously dam
age the reputation of the G. A. R.”
Meanwhile Secretary Noble is having the
rerating cases, including Senator M inder
son, reviewed by Assistant Secretary
Chandler. They may all bo reviewed. Cor
poral Tanner is preparing ammunition ior
the hand to hand fight he expects. Ho says
three medical examiners and two outside
physicians furnished the evidence on which
Senator Manderson got his rerating.
GOVERNMENT TELEGRAMS.
Wanamaker’s Rate War at a Standstill
Pending Negotiations.
Washington, Aug. 15. —The telegraph
rate situation remains unchanged. Post
master General Wanamaker has entire
charge of the whole matter, and is in con
ference with Presideut Norviu Green of the
Western Union in regard to it. While it Is
expected that an agreement will soon be
reached, none has yet been arrived at so
far as is known at the depart
ment here. Assistant Postmaster
Gentral Clarkson said this evening
that it should be understood that there had
never been an official promulgation of the
proposed rate of a mill a word, aud that,
therefore, no such rate had ever gone into
effect. The old rate of a cent a word re
mained in operation until the new rate is
fixed upon, but the government messages
are being sent upon the understanding that
they will tie charged for aud paid hereafter
upon the basis which may be finally decided
upon,
A NEW RULE FJK DISTILLERIES.
Refilling of Casks or Packages Not Al
lowable Now.
Washington, Aug. 15. —The commis
sioner of internal revenue has issued a cir
cular prohibiting the refilling at distilleries
of casks or packages previously used at the
same distillory. The circular says that the
practice of many distillers to use and re-use,
constantly, the same package for conveying
spirits from distilleries to rectifying houses
has been permitted because it is alleged that
it is a saving to tbe distillers in cooperage;
but a full investigation shows that it results
in groat loss of revenue to the government,
by reason of the tax ou part of the contents
being evaded each time that the package is
so refilled and re-used, and the loss in
creases with each re-use.
SAVED FROM ARENAS.
Thu Osslpee Brings the Surviving Sen
men to Key We3t.
Washington, Aug. 15.—The navy de
partment has received a telegram from
Commander Kellogg reporting the arrival

schooner Anna. O’Brien, the third man,

COTTON’S NEW CLOTHES.’
Tare on the Staple in Its New Suit
Very Apt to be Secured.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 15.—A com
mittee of commissioners of agriculture of
the cotton growing states, consisting of
Hons. A. P. Butler of South Carolina, J. T.
Henderson of Georgia, B. M. Hord of Ten
nessee, and J. C. Cheney of Alabama, made

very satisfactory result in their con
ference with the New York Cotton
Exchange in regard to the use of

think that through the influence of tue New
York and New Orleans exchanges, that

SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1889.
CLAX-NA.GAI-L PICNICS.
THE CRONIN AND ANTI-CRONIN
FACTIONS DIVIDE.
Resolutions Adopted by the Former
Declaring That the Murder Was
Perpetrated to Save Borne of the
Leaders from Exposure—The Other
Crowd Take the Opposite Side.
Chicago, Aug. 15.—The Cronin and anti-
Cronin sections of the Clan-na-Gae! held
the annual Clan-na-Gael picnic at Chelten
ham teach and Ogd,eu’s grove, respectively.
There were tbe usual series of games. At
the Cronin demonstration addresses were
made by Congressmen Foran of Cleveland
and Lawler of Chicago, John Devoy of
New York and others. Resolutions were
adopted pledging support to Parnell and
the Irish cause, and denouncing the Cronin
murder as the most heinous crime of the
century.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The Cronin resolutions are in part as fol
lows:
Resolved, That we denounce, with all the
force of indignant language, our utter ab
horrence of the assassination, murder, and
moral assassination resorted to by the mur
derers of Dr. Cronin, to cover up the em
bezzlement of money aud betrayal of the peo
ple, whose devotion to the cause of liberty too
often makes them the victims of designing
k naves.
t Resolveit, That we brand as the most malioi
lous, libel and moral assassination the infamous
report that I)r. Cronin was an agent of England.
On the contrary, knowing him to have lieeu a
devoted defender of honesty aud truth, we
hereby ilelare it to be our soletnu conviction that
for his faithful adliereuce to the Irish cause,
honesty and truth, he was foully mnrder© i to
prevent the exposure of the actual criminals,
who have dragged down that cause in blood
and tears into the dust of our Gethsemane.
The pumshmout of the murderers is then
demanded.
THE ANTI-CRONIN OUTING.
The anti-Cronin section had for speakers
Senator Thomas F. Grady of New York,
Judge Fitzgerald of Cincinnati and others.
Resolutions were adopted expressing sym
pathy with the Irisn people, aud declaring
willingness to aid them in such peaceful
measures as they may choose to adopt to
secure home rule from England. The resc
lutions continue:
'Vo meet here to-day, among other reasons,
for the purpose of vehemently denouncing the
atrocious murder of Dr. Cronin in our capac
ity ae American citizens; out we hold that as
Irish-Americ&ns we have no more right to lie
held responsible for that foul atrocity than has
any other clement of our body
politic for crimes committed by per
sons to whom they are kindred. We
devoutly hope that the officers authorized
by tiie law wifi succeed in bringing to justice
the assassins of Dr. Cronin. We repudiate,
both as American citizens and as Irish-Ameri
cans, the claim made by the enemies of our
race that the Irish element has any desire or
any purpose to make the soil of America the
theater of acts of vengeance, because of the
feuds, factions or disagreements growing out
of political differences or personal hurts.
HOT SPEECHES.
John Devoy, in his speech, strongly de
nounced Michael Davitt and Patrick Flgan,
and Congressman Lawler called ex-Con
gressmati Fiuerty a liar, pal roon and
scoundrel. Rev. Father Toomey of Polo,
111., surpassed the others with a hot attack
on Patrick Ford and John Finertv, the
“arch consp rator.”
A MISSING MAIL POUCH.
The Bag Stolen at Nashville in the
Same Manner That a Previous One
Went.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 15.—A special to
the Appeal from Nadivide, Tenn., savs:
“The local postoffice authorities are excited
over the mysterious disappearance of a bag
of mail intended for a sta
tion between Nashville and New Orleans,
the excitemont being intensified by the fact
that this is the second which has been lost
within throe months. Bank officials here
are also greatly interested as it
is understood that the missing mail
contained many checks. The post
office department at Washington has
been notified and a special agent will be
sent to this city to investigate the matter.
The mail left the postoffice on Monday
night, last, and the contractor who con
veyed the mail t the depot, declares that
be saw the driver of the wagon placa the
bag in the car, but is not sure it was put in
the right one. The loss of the first mail
bag on May 7, last, baa never been
accounted for. A search was made
ou the various lines in the hope that some
clew as to its whereabouts might be ob
tained. The impression is that it was
stolen from the car, and the letters rifled of
their co tents. Tha banks will be greatly
inconvenienced by the loss, and it will tako
them two months to get their business
straightened out.”
LUCK OF THE DUELISTS.
Gov. Seay Not Empowered to Demand
Their Extradition.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 15.—Every
thing sent from Birmingham to the effect
that Gov. Seay while here expressed any
intention of proceeding by requisition
against Messrs. Calhoun and Williamson
for dueling in Cherokee county is the
purest sensationalism and without founda
tion. Gov. Seay positively declines to
say one word to anybody about
his intentions, and to all interviewers
merely si.id that it would be improper to
talk. He went from here to Sheffield and
Florence, and has done nothing more than
communicate with Solicitor Lusk, of the
Cherokee circuit court, calling his attention
to the matter. Gov. Seay could proceed only
ou warrants sworn out by some citi
zen, and uo Alabamian has been found
who saw the duel or can make affidavit.
Only Georgians were there. These sensa
tional reports are putting the governor of
Alabama in a ridiculous attitude before the
country'. He could not, if ho would, pro
ceed without evidence. It is not probable
that anything will be done until the Cher
okee grand jury meets, and unless some
Alabama witness turns up that body wiU
be powerless.
MONTANA’S PRAIRIE FIRES.
Milee City Surrounded by Far-Reach
ing Walls of Fire.
Miles City, Mont., Aug. 15.—The
prairies a few miles to the north aud south
east of here are on fire. The fires cover an
area of thousands of acres. The forests
north and south of town, which are sepa
rate from each other, seem to have caught
fire simultaneously, and were probably
struck by lightning Sunday eVening. Ex
tensive prairie fires are abo raging in this
country, below Fallon, traveling toward
Glendire, and It Is feared that the range in
the vicinity will be lost.
Fisk’s Advance Agent Shot.
Greenville, S. C., Aug. 15.—J. C. C.
Levy, advance agent for the Fisk Balloon
Company, was accidentally shot and fatally
wounded to-night by ashotgun in the bands
of James Howard, an employe in N. T.
Sherman’s cigar factory, w a barroom.
The men had been UuuLng.
HABEAS CORPUS FOR KILRAIN.
He Gives $2,000 Ball For His Appear
ance Next Thursday.
Baltimore, Aug. 15.—A writ of habeas
corpus iu the case of Jake Kilrain was
suod out before Chief Judge Itarland this
morning, and Kilrain was releasod on fur
nishing $2,000 baii for hit appearance for a
hearing Jon Thursday, Aug. 22. The

STAND UP, MR. SULLIVAN.
Purvis, Miss., Aug. 15.—A jury was
completed after considerable delay to-day,
and John L. Sullivan placed on trial.
“Stand up, John L. Sulli an,” said Dis
trict Attorney Neville. Sullivan stood up
and lo iked straight at Mr. Neville as the
latter read the indictment.
“What say you, Johu L. Sullivan!
Guilty or not guilty 1”
’’Not guilty,” replied Sullivan, with em
phasis, in a clear voice.
He then sat down and the trial was be
gun in earnest. He paid strict attention to
the proceedings dunug the day, but offered
no comments, leaving Lionel Adams, who
represented the fighter, to suggest questions
to ex-Attorney General Ford, who con
ducted the cross-examination for tbe de
fense.
TAKING THE TESTIMONY.
The witnesses were all sworn together.
There were none for the defense. The first
witness examined was Maj. W. \V. Robin
son. He went to Ricnburg ou the morn
ing of July 8, arriving there before day
light. He was a deputy sheriff. He saw
the ring pitched. He proceeded to give a
Yery good account of what took place, de
scribing the preliminaries and the fighting
in the ring iu a clear manner.
“Did they hit each other?” asked Mr.
Neville.
“Hit!” said Robinson, .“Look at Sulli
van’s eye!” [Laughter.]
On cross-examination the witness said
tha rings were square and looked
more like pens. He never saw
such rings bofore. Tha witness
said that tha fight was in Marion county,
but ou cross-examination admitted that he
could not exactly locate the battla ground
and does not know where the county line is.
Tho witness testified that he .saw Sullivan
jump oa Kilrain with his knees, and
affirmed positively that Sullivan’s knees
touched Kilrain’s body.
After several other witnesses had testi
fied tha state rested their case, and as there
are no witnesses ou the other side, it was
agreed that the case go over until to
morrow. The jurymen were placed in
charge of two bailiffs, and will sleep to
night on benches in tho conrt room.'

gets into parliament.
London, Aug. 15. —In the House of Lords
this evening. Lord Fitzgerald asked
whether the government would consider
tbe necessity of constituting a court of crimi
nal appeal. He referred to tho Alaybrick
case as forcing the question upon the public
mind.
Baron Halsburg. lord high chancellor,
said lie was opposed to making tho question
a subject of discussion at a time when the

New York, Aug. 15. —Tho lawyers iu
this city of Mrs. May brick to-day received
imp rtaut evidence in iav.ir of their clieut.
Tho attorneys are it o & Macklin. Alfred
Alonclt, a lawyer of M mtroal, sends a letter
to tho firm, stating that a Mrs.
Yapp, answering the description of
Mrs. Yapp, who was the chief wit
ness against Mrs. Maybriclt, had to leave
Montreul about three years ago to escape
the possibility of being indicted for perjury.
At that time a man named Aialvln Smith
brought an action agai.ist his wife for separ
ation. Mrs. Yapp was the chief witness for
Smith and gave very damaging evidence
against his wife. It was shown, however,
that Smith’s mistress and the woman Yapp
had, with Smith’s aid, plotted a deep o >u
spiracy to blacken Mrs. Smith’s character.
The pi t failed, however. Mrs. Yapp tied
tli© country immediately thereafter.
PORTLAND’S INTEREST.

Portland (Me.) Evenin j/ Express, also sends

regarding the propriety of getting a peti
tion signed by the leading citizens of Port
land ad forwarding tho same to Secretary
of State Blaine, requesting him to interest
himself iutheoaso. The lawyers wrote a
reply in approval of the idea.
A well-known lawyer, who arrived to
day from England, and who was present
during Judge Stephens’ charge t > the jury,
was soen at Roe & Macltlin’s offices. Ho
does not wish his name published. While
in England he gave tho Alaybrick case a
carefui study.
THE JUDOK’S CHARGE PREJUDICED.
“1 never heard such a prejudiced charge
delivered,” said ho, “by a judge iu
my many years’ experience at the
bar. Mrs. May brick’s lawyers could
not get in a word edgewise.
When they endeavored to curb Judge
Stephens iu his charge they got snub lied for
their pains. All tho people in England
were oppoied to the conviction except tho
judge. 1 do not think the home secretary
will allow the woman to ho exe
cuted. I called to see her after
her conviction, and she presented a pitiful
sight. Sho exclaimed: ‘I did not do it, I
did not do it. My folly I admit. 1 was lod
astray by a man who had unnatural influ
ence over me. That was my only sin. i
would sooner have lost my life than hurt
one hair of my husband’s head.’ ” Roe &
Macklin will forward the evidence they
have to Secretary Blaine at once.
