WHAT ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER SAYS. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 16. —Attorney Ge-ieral .Miller was seen yesterday and a-ked if no had anything iurther to say a.’iiut tie) -hooting of Judge Terry by Aputy Nagle. He replied: “I see from . papers that the action of the deputy is pretty generally indorsed. It appears to be r sidered that Deputy Nagle's pres ence was necessary, and his act ’justifiable.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 18811. BLAINE AS A HUCKSTER. HENRY CABOT LODGE TO BE D3ED TO BEAT TOM REED. The Interpretation Washington Poli ticians Put on the Sudden Friend ship of the Men from Maine and Massachusetts—Lodge to be Sprung for Speaker as a Dark Horse. ashington, Aug. 16. —Representative Henry Cabot Ledge was a violent anti- Blaine man in 1881. With George William Curtis, Carl Schurz, E. L. Godkin, Theo dore Roosevelt, John F. Andrew, Thomas \\ entworth Higginson and other republi cans, he denouueed Blaine as unfit to be nominated for President and wont to the Chicago convention to prevent it. Failing to prevent it he swallowed his feelings and ate his words, because he wanted to go to congress, and while his companions at Chicago (except Roosevelt who sulked on his ranch) were trying to beat Blaine, Lodge was doing his best to elect him. Blaine was dofeatod, but Lodge was sent to congress. TWO QUICK ON THE TRIGGER. Supposing Blaine to be out of politics. Lodge once niore freely expressed iiis opinion of him. As soon, however, as it was evident that Blaine w >u! 1 be llarii sou s Secretary of State, Lodge began to hedge. Since Blaines arrival here list spring no one has cultivated him and his family as has Lodge, using his friendship with William VV alter Phelps to that end. Blaine knows Lodge thoroughly and disliked him cor dially, and yet Lodge’s constant and insidi ous flattery has so softeuod Blaine’s heart that Lodge seems to have bean adopted as one of iiis prime favorites. REAPING the fruits. Through Mr. Blaine’s influenceJLodgo has boon given more than his share of Massa chusetts patronage. Blaine oven allowed Lodge to name tho First Assistant Secre tary of State, liodge furnishing a young Boston lawyer of his acquaintance. But si cial favors are often more valuable than political favors, and Blaine lias most conspicuously distinguished Lodge by hav ing him and his wife as his guests at Bar Harbor at the same time with tho Presi dent. This at once amuses and interests those who know the men and their past re lations. blaine’s object. Other public men, knowing that Blaine never gives something for nothing, are looking for the outlines of Blaine’s little plan just at this point. It is believed by well informed public men to bo part of Blaine’s scheme to defeat Tom Reed for the speakership. Blaine and Reed have been enemies for twenty years, chiefly be cause Reed would not fall down and wor ship Blaine. Every time Reed has been a candidate for office Blaine has tried to de fcat him. lie hm been trying to defeat Keeifor the (speakership every since he came here last spring. LODGE TO BE SPRUNG. Now L~dge is Reed’s chief lieutenant in the speakership fight. Blaine seems to have determined to run Lodge as the winning dark horse in this race (to change tho figure suddenly), of course after Lodge sntiM have been satisfied that Reed cannot win and that Lodge can. Blaine would find it more ■ difficult to b at Reid with a western man, owing to the division in the we-t over half a dezen candidates, but with Reed’s eastern lieutenant,to whom Rood owes so much and who would, therefore, it is assumed, get all Reed’s e .stern strength, it would be an easier task. ERADICATION OF PLAGUE SPOTS. Negotiations With Foreign Govern ments Apt to be Begun. Washington, Aug. 16.—Surgeon Gene aral Hamilton of the marine hospital service has urgently recommended to the attention of the state department the reso lution adopted at the Montgomery (Ala.) sanitary conference in March and indorsed by the American Medical Society at Provi dence in June, calling for negotiations with foreign governments looking to such concerted action by them as would clean out the plague centers in their re spective dominions, so as to diminish the dangers of epidemics. It is b lieved that upon his return Secre tary Biiim - will send circular instructions to our foreign representatives prepara tory to entering upon the pro posed negotiations. If Spain could be mduced to undertake the eradication of yellow fever conditions in Cuba, and Eng land the eradication of cholera conditions in India, it is evident that great good would be aceomplishod. PAY FOR PARTY SERVICES. A Brooklyn Politician Awarded a Fat Government Contract. Washington, Aug. 16.—There is much comment to-night upon the fact that ex- Sheriff A. L. Daggett of Brooklyn, whose services were so valuable to the boodlers of the republicau national committee la->t fall, was finally awarded a $1,000,000 postal card contract this evening by Acting Postmaster General Clarkson, member of the national committee for lowa, in the absence of Post master General Wanarnaker, who hung up ex-Sheritt Daggett’s bid on the ground that he was not prepared to do the work, being a politician and not a paper maker. Dag gett is said to have gone to Philadelphia to night to arrange with the Philadelphia bidders about the contract. TO BE NO FEVER THI3 YEAR. A Vessel from Rio Arrives But all Were Well When She Came in. Washington, Aug. 16.—Passed Assist ant Surgeon Carter, of the Gulf quarantine station, at Ship Island, Miss., reports to Surgeon General Hamilton of the marine hospital service, under date of Aug. 1.3, that the Norweigan bark Saflr arrived from Rio Janeiro Aug. 2, with a crew of six teen men, all of whom were well on her arrival. Eight of the crew, however, had been sick in Rio Janeiro with fever —two of them with yellow fever. One of these was sick on shipboard. None of the sailors were landed and the vessel was quarantined atid disinfected. A Complaint Againat a Railroad. Washington, Aug. 16.—The interstate commerce commission has received a com plaint by the Holly Springs, (Miss.) Compress and Manufacturing Company against the Kansas Citv, Memphis and Bir mingham Railroad Company, charging, among other thiugs, unreasonable ana ex cessive freight rates on compressed cotton between Holly Springs and Memphis, Tenn. Improvements at Marietta. Washington, Aug. 16.— The Secretary of Was has authorized the expenditure of SSOO for improvements to the national oein etury at MaiWttt. ALLBN GIVEN FOURTEEN YEARS. The Sentence the Maximum on Each of the Counta. New York, Aug, 16. —Eber S. Allen, tho defaulting ex-president of the Forty second and Grand Street Ferry Railroad Company, who pleaded guilty to two in dictments charging him with an over issue of SIOO,OOO worth of stock of the company, was sentenced by Judge Gildersleeve to-day to seven year.i imprisonment at hard labor on each indictment, the maximun penalty for the offense. Allen looked pale and very down-hearted. When he re.nehed the court m m he was mot by his counsel, Lawyer Eustis, and h;s brother, Elmer L. Allen. The court room was crowded at 11 o’clock when Judge Gildersleeve entered court. Whan asked whether he had anything to say why sen tence should not be pronounced upon him Allen turned round and looked at uis coun sel, but did not utter a syllable. Mr. Eustis, after deliberation, said that there wai noth ing to add to what imd been already pre sented to the court in regard to the previous good character of the prisoner. THE DECLARATION OF THE SENTENCE. Judge Gildersleeve than said: “Mr. Al len, yc u plead and guilty to two indictments. 1 have received letters from a number of friends of yours, and ma iv p rsous have lieeii to see me with regard to your case, but, after very careful c msideration of the whole matter, and taking into consider ation that punishment could be inflicted on you for charges which aro not pressed, 1 see no reason why I should not impose tho maximum penalty. The sentence of tt.e court is that you be confined in state prison at bard labor for 3even years on this indict ment which I hold in my hand, and under the other indictment that you be confined at hard labor for a period of seven years to bogiu at tho expiration of tho former term.” Alien turned sickly pale, and as ho was led back to the pen he looked around the court room, but none of his friends were present, except bis brother, to sympathize wita him. Even his wife, whose extravagance is said to have been the cause of her husband’s ruin, was not visible. WRECKED ON A BRIDGE. Three Personß Killed and Twenty- Five Seriously Injured.

New York, Aug. 10.—It. G. Dun & Cos., m their weekly review of trade, report the number of failures in the United States at 181 and in Canada 32, a total of 213 in the last seven days, against 301 a week ago aud 210 in the corresponding week a year ago. In regard to the general outlook tha report says: In all directions the business prospects contiuud encouraging, ani the changes dur ing tho last week have been on the right side. Exports increase and tho speculative rise in breadstuffs has 1 een checked. In terior cities report an increase in the volume cf trade, and the money markets continue amply supplied, though rates are gradually hardening. THE GREAT INDUSTRIES. The great industries appear to be in fully as good condition as last week, with clearer ovidence of improvement in iron. Further croi> reports sustain the government’s state ment and estimate ns to cotton, corn, oats, and strengthens the prevailing impression that the August report as to wheat was less favorable than the actual situation. In spite of small advances in some products, the general range of prices has not materi ally changed, and railroad earnings con tinue good, though all the controversies have not as yet been cleared away. 1 AN EXPLOSION OF GAS. A Boy Killed and Thirty Persons Seri ously Injured. New York, Aug. 16.—An explosion caused by a leaky gas pipe occurred to night in the cellar of the building at No, 407 Grand street, and flying debris killed a young man, aged 17 years, named Morris Jacobs, and thirty others wore injured so seriously as to require attention at a hospital, while a number of parsons had their wounds dressed at drug stores. Tue first floor was occupied by Thomas McCabe, a crockery dealer, whose loss wifi be $2,500, and other persons will lose as much more. AU are fully Insured. A MORMON ELDER ARRESTED.

Stephen Matton, for twenty-five years a missionary in Siam, but late president of Biddell uni versity at Charlotte. N. C., died yesterday at Marion, 0., aged 73 years. Uja remains will ta wat south lot burial. VIRGINIA'S HONEST VOTE. THE ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD GREATLY EXAGGERATED. The Legislative Committee Through with All but Two of the Counties After Four Months’ Work-Gen. Goff Still About 50 Votes Ahead of Judge Fleming. Wheeling, TV. Va., Aug. 16.—Tho special committee of the legislature, which has been in session for four mouths past examing depositions in the gubernatorial contest, will to-morrow'complete romling the evidence from all tho counties except two, Mercer and McDowell. The investi gation so far has developed tho fact that the election in tms state, all reports to the con trary notwithstanding, was a sin gularly fair one. No genuine frauds have been discovered, and of several hundred votes attacked as illegal, a very small proportion, scarcely one-tenth, have boon thrown out, and tlieso only upon technical grounds. Judge Flem ing, the democratic contestant, did not allege, on his note of contustancy, fraud or corruption, but only attacked Gen. Goff’s majority ns being the result of a large num ber of technically illegal votes wliich ho alleges were cast. ignorant of the law. The investigation has shown that in nearly all cases these votes wore cast by men who thought they had a right to vote, and that there was no intentional fraud. The stories about the c 'lonization of voters have not been sustained, and prove to be the fruit of imaginative news paper correspondents and poli ticians, as tho committee has no evidence cf such colonization, and it is not known that, nny has been offered. Gen. Goff’s plurality, so far as the investigation has gone, has not been wipe I out, and with two counties yet to be read, he still has an advantage of about fifty votes, his original plurality having boen 110. NOT INTENTIONALLY DISHONEST. Scarcely an intentionally dishonest vote upon either side has been discovered, and the illegal ones will nut average six to u county. This statement has no reference t > the allegations of frauds on tho part of returning boards after the votes were cast and which only affected the eleotion for congressmen. It is upon these allegations that the three contestants for scats in con gress base their claims. The legislative committee has not gone into this matter. A CATHOLIC TRIBUNAL. The Object in Establishing One of the Churches in this Country. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 16.—The ap pointment of a high ecclesiastical tribunal by the pope for the Roman Catholic church in the United States is believed to have been already consummated, although inquiry to-day failed to develop the existence of official notification. Tho information ob tained is to the effect that the tribunal or court sh*ill have referred to it all cases in which the church in the United States is concerned for adjudication, and that tho iribiinal consists of Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, Archbishop Ryan of Philadel phia, and Archbishop Corrigan of New York. A prominent priest said ho thought there was no doubt of the appointment of the tribunal and that the purpose is to relieve Rome of the burden of hoaring appeals from this country. great delay. Great delay is caused in adjusting Amer ican cases by reason of tho great distance and great difficulty in bringing witnesses. Hereafter appeals from tho Metropolitan will lie made to this now tribunal instead of to Rome direct. “Will the decisions of the new court be final C was asked. “1 am inclined to believe that Rome will never shut off appeal to her. Ido not see how she can. I think that the hope is that the decisions will be so conspicuously lair that no one will be tempted to complain of it.” TEN CORPSES IN A MINE. Two of Them Those of Men Who At tempted a Rescue. San Francisco, Aug. 16.—The Mexican steamer Alejandro arrived here from Guiy anias, Mexico, yesterday, bringing word that in tho early part of July fire broke out in the Triutnfo mine, near the town of the same name, and ten men lost their lives. Eight Mexican minors were in the mine at the time, and two unknown Americans volunteered to go to their rescue. The shaft was full of smoke and gitses, and when tho bucket was hauled to the top the Americans were dead. The fire lasted foverai days and finally burned itself out. A WHITE CHILD’S CORPSE Watklnaville Excited Over tho Dis covery of a Terrible Crime. Athens, Ua., Ang. 16.—News came to the Banner office to-day of tho finding of the dead body of an unknown girl near the old fair grounds at Watkiusville. Heveral boys were out walkiug and noticed a rude grave near tha read. They at once exam ined it. hollowed it out and lifted from it a plain pine coffin. In tha coffin wore tho half decomposed remains of a girl 8 or 10 years old. It was a white girl, and marks of foul piay were noticed. Tlir- ugb the bead was a bullot bole. The citizens were much ex cited; many called to look at tliejbody, hut failed to recognize it. No one is missing around Watkinsville. and the whole affair is shrouded in mystery. An investigation will be made at once. GEORGIA’S LEGISLATURE. The Sixth Section |of the {Lease Bill Passed—lncreased Taxation. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16.—The House was occupied to-day in discussion of the lease bill, and some progress was made. The sixth section was advocated without amend ment. The amendment of Mr. Gilbert of Muscogee that the West Point Terminal Company shall be excluded from bidding was rejected after some discussion. The House appropriations committee find that the treasury deficit will be over sloo,* 000. Tho trouble is that the legislature is making appr.qirmti ms beyond tne receipts from taxes. Last winter there was an esti mated deficit, and this summer the legisla ture has made larger appropriations. Tlte finance oora-nitteo will recommend that the tax act of 1888 be amended so as to increase the general tax from 2 7-10 mills to 3 1-10 mills. ____________ Cotton in Cotton Bagging. Waynesboro, Aug. 16.—Augusta re ceived to-day two bales of new cotton, wrapped in alliance bagging. The new wrap gives a very neat appearance to the bale. The shipment was fro 11 Millen. and is the first from the line of the A. and 3. railroad. Continued rains prevent the staple from maturing. The crop around Waynesboro will open about two weeds late. HOPE FOR MRS. MAYBRICK. A Conference at the Home Office Con sidered Favorable. London, Aug. 16. —Homo Secretary Matthews, Mr. Justico Stephen, t! e lord cbanc ilor, and the medical exports held ft conference at the homo office t<>-dny with a view of arriving at a decision in the May brick ease. Tho conference lasted fur hours. It is regarded as a certainty that the homeotlico is in doubt, and it is believed that the result of tho deliberations must necessarily lie a pardon or commutation of sentence. Home Secretary Matthews and the ox p its assumed that Mrs. Maybriek was not guilty, and acting upon this assumption sifted every scrap of testimony givon, especially that in relation to her husband's craz -for arsenic, which is of great weight and has, it is believed,turned tho scale in the prisoner’s favor. It is a noteworthy fact that the lord chancell r is seldom consulted I in such cases except when a reprieve is meditated. The press association states that Home S eretary Matthews will recommend to the queen . oinmulntion of the deat h sentence of Mrs. Maybriek to penal servitude for life, and that tho commutation of the sentence will bo announced after the queen has given formal a sent. Eiglity-eight members of the House of Commons liuve signed the memorial in be half of Mrs. Maybriek. BOULANGER’S EXTRADITION. Franco It is Aesoried Never Intended to Ask. for It.
