there was still a long line of peo-
Ele who had not secured the coveted

to the hotel for dinner and rest, and at 5
o’clock he left over tha Ci ncinnati, Hamil
ton and Dayton railroad for Indianapolis.
THE DEPARTURE FROM TUE CITT.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 21.—A great
crowd surrounded the Burnett house wiien
the President left to catch the train fo
here. Some spectators in the corridors saw
the President kiss a wee tot of a child iu its
mother’s arms av he was comiug down on
the stairway and brok : into a ohoor. This
continued until the President drove off ac
companied by committees from Indianapo
lis and Cincinnati. The vast crowd hade
him a vociferous God speed at the station -
The whole population of the surrounding
country was present each time the train
stopped enroutehere. At Hamilton, the can
non thundered forth the presidential salute
as the train drew up. The President stood on
the bottom step of ihe rear platform, shak
ing hands right and left, hand over baud.
OXFORD’S INTEREST IN HIM.
At Oxford, where Dr. Scott had been a
professor at the Miami university and at
another time head of the female college
there, the mayor said in behalf of the
Citizens of Oxford;
We greet you. Here you received your col
lege education, and was married. Oxford lias
ever felt a deep interest in your useful career.
Oxford has watched your life. Oxford las a
growing pride in you and yours. We rejoice iu
this opportunity of giving you a hearty wel
come.
ln reply, the President said:
Mv Feldow-citizens: It gives me pleasure to
stop even for a moment in Oxford. I caunot
hope that there are many in this audience to
day wno were citizens of Oxford when I was a
schoolboy hare,and yet possibly there are some.
To them and to you who have since made
your homes in this beautiful college town, I
give my most sincere tlmuks for this hearty
greeting. It is not possible or proper that I
should attempt to speak to you upon any
theme. I will therefore beg you to allow me
to repeat my thanks and bid you good-by.
ON THE EDGE OF TWO STATES.
The mayor at College Corner said:
We stanu on the edge of t wo states to welcome
you to your state. We have a wagon here in
which your grandfather rode in 1840 and we will
be glad to ride you in It to-day.
The carriage was a very odd-looking
carry-all, to which a rope was attached,
ready to bo drawn by the eager people.
The President replied:
Thank you. I prefer this modern vehicle I
am riding on now. I am obliged to you and
this audience for this hearty greeting. lam not
unfamiliar with College Corner. This town was
the objective point of the boyish rides I used to
take with com pan .ons while I was a student at
Oxford. It gives me pleasure to cross the line
into my own state, which has been so hospitable
and kind to me always, and it gives me pleasure
to look into the face of her happy and prosper
ous people to-night.
WELCOMED BY GOV. HOVEY.
Gov. Hovey then welcomed the chief
magistrate. Mr. Harrison replied:
I thank you, governor for this welcome, ex
tended on the part of the people of the whole
state. You have well said tiie people of Indiana
have been kind to me, and if when my public
career is ended I can return to you the happv
possessor of your respect and good will, I shall
not leave public office with regret,
At Liberty the President spoke as fol
lows:
I have in the main successfully resisted, not
only upon this trip, but during my recent trip
to the Now Eugland states, the suggestion
which has been made to me, that I should make
public addresses. I beg you will excuse me this
evening from saying more than that Ido very
deeply feel this earnest and hearty welcome
which you extend to me on my re
turn to the state of Indiana. I
left you to assume the duties of the
presidency with a very deep sense of its re
sponsibilities, which has not been lessened by
these months of experience. I am sure I have
not avoided disappointments, and yet 1 hope 1
may come to you with a consciousness that
whatever has been slack you will forgive, and
that nothing lias happened to create in your
minds any doubt of my sincere purpose to serve
tiie general good of the American people, and
uphold as I may the honor and dignity of the
United States.
A WARM RECEPTION AT CONNERSVILLE.
A warm reception greeted the party at
Connersville, and the President, Secretary
Rusk and Gov. Hovey all made brief
speeches of a personal nature. It was dark
when PvU-hville, a town of 4,000 inhab
itants, was reached. Red lights and fire
works illuminated the place.
AT INDIANAPOLIS.
It was 8:45 o’clock when Indianapolis was
reached. The President and party were
met by a committee from the Seventeenth
Indiana regiment and a committee of twen
ty-five from the board of trade. A proces
sion was formed and tho party entered the
carriages in waiting and slowly made their
way through the streets packed with
people to the Denison house, whero
the President wiil make his head
quarters. During his stay at the Denison
house, the monument commission and com
mittees representing the G. A. It. and state
of Indiana received him. Along the streets
an route there were large crowds gathered,
but not until the President reached his
hotel was there any demouation resembling
an ovation.
THF LAST SPEECH OF THE DAY.
In response to brief speeches by President
Tanner of the board of trade, and Gen.
James R. Carnahan, the President said:
Gentlemen of the Committee,x.vu Fkiends—
I scarcely know how to convey to you my deep
impressions at tbi3 cordial welcome back to
Indianapolis. 1 cannot hope to do it. I have
bean deeply touched by this generous and
courteous reception. It was uot my expecta
tion when I left Indianapolis a few months
ago under so serious a sense of
my responsibilities that I would return
again so soon to my home. But this
occasion was one which I could not well be
absent from. It was one that should enlist to a
degree that nothing else can do our patriotic
interest and state pride. It is true as Gen. Gar
nahan has said, that I took early interest in
this movement. I felt that until this monu
ment was built, until its top stone was laid, and
its voice had been heard by the people ot
this state, iu expressive speech.'we had not dono
that for our soldier dead which we should; and
that we hod neglected those who died for us.
I am glad, therefore, to be present and see this
monument started. I reverently rejoice with
you on this occasion, and hail the work which
these commissioners have so wisely and mag
nificently begun.
RETIRES FOR THE NIGHT.
At the conclusion of his remarks tho
President was greeted personally by many
of his friends. Then the President, Gen.
Rusk and Private Secretary Halford ato a
light lunch in the ordinary, and at 11 o’clock
the President retired.
To-morrow forenoon he will be given a
public reception at the Hotel Denison. The
coruer-stono of tho Indiana soldiors’ and
sailors’ monument will be laid to-morrow,
and the day bids fair to be the biggest the
city has over known. Elaborate and at
tractive draperies are appearing upon
every front of prominence, and great
preparations are making to have the affair
pass off with eclat.
A GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
One Man Killed and Another Badly
Hurt-A Loss of $225,000.

Son, in Allegheny City, exploded early this

badly burned and bruised. Tho loss is at
least #235,000.
SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, ISSiI.
HAMPTON ON THE SOUTH.
RADICAL EFFORTS TO BREAK ITS
SOLIDITY WILL FAIL.
Local Self Government Will Hold
Southerners Together Too Closely
for Economic Questions to Divide
Them—Harrison's Bad Appointments
and the Exodus of Megroe3 Bad for
His Party.
ashington, Aug. 21.—Seuator Hamp
ton in an interview hero to-day said that
the republicans wore making an effort to
break into the solid south by introducing
economic questions, but that it would
fail. He said: “As long as local self
government demands our attention, our
people cannot be divided on this issue.
Whether man is protectionist or tariff re
former the safety or welfare of his home is
Daramont to the tariff.”
“Do you think that there is a growing
protective sentiment iu the south?’’
LOW DUTIES HELP THE SOUTH.
“No,” the senator replied; “I think the
tendency is more likely to be the other wav,
especially in the mining and manufacturing
districts. The interests of the states of
Virgiuia, Tennessee and Alabama particu
larly are advanced by low duties. They
can produce iron and coal much cheaper
than they can be produced in the
east. Protection only assists the
eastern manufacturers to keep up
this rivalry. Without protection
tbe rivalry would be greatly lessened. The
less protection the more capital will go to tho
development of the industries of the south.
Beeiug this, I do not think our people will
be led off by this question. The effort:? of
tho republicans will be in Virginia, Ten
nessee, North Carolina and, perhaps,
Alabama.
HURT BY TWO FACTORS.
"1 do not think they will meet with suc
cess in either. Theexodusof the negroes from
North Carolina, if it keeps up, will hurt
them there, but they could not carry the
state anyhow. Harrison’s appointments in
the south have beon of a character to
strengthen us iu resistance of any attempts
made upon tho southern states. I know it
has been so in South Carolina, and I pre
sume it is the same elsewhere.”
GLAD TO GET RID OF THE NEGROE3.
Ho thought that inconvenience, but no
injury would result from the extensivo
negro exodus in the south.
“We,” he said, “would gladly seo tbe
colored people move elsewhere, and we
would be willing to suffer any
reduction in the elective college
and congress that might result
from their departure. It would mnko things
a little harder for the present generation,
but would be the salvation of the future. X
would gladly vote to appropriate $30,000,000
for the purchase of Cuba or some other
place in winch they might seitlo.”
DUDLEY ALONE IN HI3 GLORY.
Ho Will be tho Only Guest of the G.
A. U. Delegation.
Washington, Aug. 21.—Corporal Tan
ner has determined to go out to Milwaukee
more quietly. He will go alone by way of
Chautauqua, speaking at the assembly on

A RACE ACROSS THE OCEAN.
Four Atlantic Greyhounda Start to
Teat Their Mettle.
New York, Aug. 21.—Great interest is
taken in the sailing of four big steamships
which left for Europe to-day. The big
racers Teutonic of the White Star line,
Citv of New York of the Inman line, Saale
of the North German Lloyd line, and the
City of Rome of the Anchor line, all had a
fair number of saloon passengers, and all
were eagerly discussing the merits of the
several vessels. Of course, the Teutonic
and the City of New York were the favor
ites, for the groat race eastward to Queens
town lies between them.
THE TEUTONIC TOE FAVORITE.
Tho Teutonic, from all uccounts, is in ex
cellent trim, and sly hints regarding her
full powers being tested were everywhere
remarked upon by steamship men until it
has become generally believed that the Teu
tonic cau, and will, make the trip inside of
the record. The Inman line peonlo contt
doutly predict that tho City of New York
will not only make a faster run than the
Teutonic, bat with good weather and no
accidents, will cross in six days. They say
she is in condition now to do some great
steaming. Numerous bets were made be
fore the departure of the two racers, which
will be settled in Liverpool. The odds
slightly favored the Teutonic. Tbe boats
left within a half hour of each other.
Bloody Affrays in Crete.

CHEERED AT STRASBURO.
Strasburg, Aug. 21.—After a military
tattoo last evening crowds assembled at the
palaoe and cheered lustily in honor of the
Euqieror and Empress of Germany. Thu
imperial visitors api>eared on the balcony
and bowed their acknowledgments to the
multitude. To-day tho kaiser and his con
sort attended a military parade, crowds
again greeting their appearance with tho
warmest demonstrations. Tho emperor
personally requested the burgomaster to
thank the people for the splendid reception
accorded him.
At a banquet in the evening the em
peror, replying to Prince von Iloheulohe’s
toast, expressed his thanks for tho cordial
receptiou accorded him on this, bis third
visit to Strasburg. IVbile he felt quite at
home, he drank to the prosperity of Alsace-
Lorraine and Strasburg, and to the health
of Brines and l’rincess von Hohouloho.
SEXTON AFTER BALFOUR.
A Motion to Cut Off the Secretary’s
Salary Defeated.
London, Aug. 21.—1n the House of Com
mons this evening, in a clone to on the Irish
office vote, Mr. Sexton moved to reduce the
vote by the amount of Mr. Balfour’s salary.
The principles of Mr. Balfour’s rules, ho
said, were bad administration of a bad law,
arbitrary use of physical force, and sup-
Eression of the truth. The London Times
ad tho whole government machinery
at its disposal during the past year,
but the Barnellites were satisfied
with tho result of the inquiry. So far one
conspiracy had been revealed aud another
remained. The Barnellites intended to
pursue tho subject uutii full light was
Jirowu upon it. They would doubtless
reveal curious reptiles and strange proceed
ings. Mr. Baraell supported the motion on
the ground that Mr. Balfoui’s policy ap
peared to bo to incite instruments to exceed
the law. The motion was rejected by a
vote ot 112 to 83.

The Daily News, commenting upon this
dispatch, says it hopes that if Europe brill
not interfere to prevent such abominable
wickedsess, Russia will, and speedily.

Honors to the Dead—The Routine of

Rome, Oa., Aug. 21.— A sudden death in
the hail in which the graud lodge of Odd
Fellows was in session this morning caused

in his chair and in a few minutes was dead.
The grand lodge immediately adjourned
and did not moot agaiu until in the after

the death scene.
The description of the death scene, as re
lated by several gentlemen who sat near
Col. Brandt, is as foil >ws: A motion was
before the lodge and Allen R. Wright had
spoken in opposition to it. Some other
member of the order favored it. Col.
Brandt arose ami began calmly expressing
his views. Ho said: “I will endeavor to
show how harm would eomo out of this
motion if I can." He put hi? hand to his
forehead us if abstracted by other thoughts,
or as though a paroxysm of paiu had struck
him, his body careened to one side, whilo
his hand was still on his forehead, anil he
said: “I don’t know.”

A FEVER INFECTED SHIP.
The Corpse of the Captain's Wife
Buried in the Hold.
Lewes, Del., Aug. 21.—The ship John
A. Briggs, from Rio Janeiro for Philadel
phia, is detained at quarantine here on ac
count of yellow fever cases aboard at Rio
and daring the voyage. Ihe tody of the
captain’s wife, who had died ut sea,
was alward inclosed in a sealed case. The
vessel has been disinfected, but wifi be de
tained a few days.
BOUND TO BRING HER HOME.
Capt. Balch was only married a little
more than a year ago and his wife had ac
companied him on all hi'; voyages since
then, bhe was stricken with yellow fever
on the journey from Rio Janeiro
here and died within a week, hut
the captain determined, ln spite of tho
pestilential character of her fatal illness, to
bring her tiody home to her relatives in
Maotiias, Me., shrinking from giving hor
over to the sea. Tho ship’s carpenter made
a wooden case. Her body was placed in it,
and the box'was covered with canvass and
coated over thickly with tar.
BURIED IN THE HOLD.
This was given temporary burial in sand
ballast in the hold, tho vessel being without
cargo, until it should make this port. When
tlni vessel arrived at the breakwater tho
United States quarantine officers detained
bor and sent a dispatch to Surgeon General
Hamilton of the Marino hospital
bureau telling him that Capt. Balch
asked permission to ship his wife’s body by
rail from Puiiadelphia to Maine. This, it
is said in Washington, could not be granted
without the permission of the health au
thorities iu each of the states through
which the body would have to pass, in spite
of the assertion that the casket is
air tight. It was said at tho surgeon gen
eral’s office that there were ten other casos
of the fever on board the John A. Briggs.
Capt. Hudson of the tug Eva A. McCauley
carne up from tho breakwater to-night and
said that on the contrary there was no other
case on board.
A Big Sale of Tobacco.
Louisville, Ky„ Aug. 21.—The largest
sale of tobacco ever mad© at auction iu oue
day in the United States, and probably in
the world, was made here to-day. The
total number of hogsheads sold was 1,002.
This amounts to about 1,500,000 ppuuds,
-worth in the hogshead over SIOO,OOO
CRASHES IN RHODE ISLAND.
Tha Wauregan Cotton Goods Com
pany Suspends Payment.
Providence, R. 1., Aug. 21.— The Wiu
regan Cotton Goods Company to-day de
cided to suspend payment. The company
has tiro mills at present iu operation. One
is at Wauregan, near Plainfield, Connecti
cut, capitalized at #tWO,OOO, with 1.400 looms
and employing i,OtK) hands. The other
is the Not! ingham nulls in this city, capi
talized at fIWO.OOO, with 24 (KHJ spindle*, 550
looms and employingfiOO hands. Treasurer
Taft is also secretary and treasurer of the
Pom mah mills in Conueoticut, that have a
capital of #1,500,000.
BRADSTREET’S VIEWS.
Rradstreet thinks Tuft’i connection with
this last mill will place it in a dangerous
position. The Wauregan company’s I,abil
ities are planed at #1,000,000. The assets,
according to the oompany's figures, are
#2,000,000. The failure is directly duo to
that of Lewis Bros. The Nottingham mills
will also suspend.
The Thornton worsted mills went under
to-day. Their trouble is caused by the fail
ure of Brown, tstMso & Clarke, wind deal
ers, of Dedham, Muss. Stense <So Clarke to
day filed in court a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy.
DON’T OWE TrtK PONEMAH COMPANT.
Treasurer Taft said to-day, emphatically,
that the Wauregan mi is did not owe the
Poneumh company a dollar. Mr. Taft re
iterated this answer when the question was
raised with reference to the Potinmah
company being at all Involved. He also
added that the Ponetnngh company had a
surplus of #700,000 m personal property
over and above the plant, which is worth
#.125,000.
The British HosiervCompany, located at
Thornton, is reported involved to some ex
tent, but arrangements will be made to tide
them over ns tiioir liabilities are not very
heavy.
OTHER SUSPENSIONS FEARED.
It cannot be determined whether the
failure of the Wauregan is likely to lead to
the suspension of other cotton mills, though
this was feared.
The directors of the Wauregan company
sny that, arrangements can be made to re
sume operations and that the company can
soon bo put in a position to mako money.
The failure is attributed tq the general dis
trust caused by the Lewis failure and the
reports that the Wauregan company war
largely involve I by the failure, this having
the effect of causing banks to refuse to
make loans,

2!t the same course was pursued toward the

MAHONES FOR GOVERNOR.
A Belief That the General Would
Accept a Nomination.
Norfolk, Va., Aug. 21.—The republican
state convention to nominate candidates for
governor, lieutenant governor and attorney
goneral, meets here to-morrow at noon.
The outlook to-night is that the
convention will accomplish its work
with expedition and without friction, as the
leading anti-Mabono republicans are taking
no part in the convention. If Gen. Mahono
will accept the leading place on the ticket
he will be nominated by acclamation. It is
thought to-night that Gen. Matione will
accept. ______________
A BLIP-UP IN DAKOTA.
The Constitution Conflicts with tho
Enabling Act.
Grand Forks, Dak., Aug. 21.—A sensa
tion was produced here yesterday when two
lawyers discovered a serious difference
betwoeu the constitution and the enabling
act passed by congress. The constitution
located all tho state institutions and public
lands gra ited bye ingress. Lawyers find
that congress specifies that tho legislature
shall charter tho institution* and divide the
lands. Unless the constitution is voted
down it is quite probable that North Dakota
will not receive the public lands from the
government.

iina road is bottled, and that he advised hi*

it hue resulted advantageously to tho road.
CONSOLIDATION* DEFENDED.
Ho made an argument to show that the
people were better off in the way of rate#
and facilities with these consolidation* than
with short lines. In answer to a question
as to tho whereabout* of the stock of the

RAILROAD REORGANIZATION.
Rumore that the Terminal Haa
Scooped tho Atlanta and Florida.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21.— Tho reorgani
zation to-day of the Atlanta and Florida
railroad has given rise to various rumor* in
railroad circle*. The new board of director*
elected the following officers: Col. R F.
Maddox, president; Cecil Gabbe t, first vice
president aud goneral manager; E.
VV. Marsh, second vice president;
R. J. Lowrov treasurer, J. K. Brunner

negotiate a loan to rolieve the present in
debtedness and put the road on its feet Mr.
Gabbett promise* to make the road one of
the best running out of Atlanta. His ap
pointment as goneral manager has created
the suspicion and rumor that the West
Point Terminal has made another deal, but
this is denied by President Maddox.
INTERSTATE FARMERS.
Unalterable Opposition to the Juta
Bagging Trust.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 21.—The
Southern Interstate Fanners’ Association
closed its annual session hero to-day. The
subjects discussed to-day were: “Depression
of Agrigulturo—Causes and Remedies,'’
".Should Farmers’ organization be Encour
aged?"
Gen. William Miller of Florida led in the
discussion of the latter subject, and made a
strong tariff reformsoeeoh.
The committee on cotton covering, Hon.
W. J. Green of North Carolina, the chair
man, submitted the following roport, which
was unanimously adopted:
Recognizing the fact, that Jute bagging, which
ha* heretofore been exclusively used by cotton
planter* as a covering for their products, was
during the past season most unnecessarily
raised In price nearly 100 per cent by the man
ufacturer* of that material, aud recognizing
likewise that suoii an arbitrary and oru 1 ris) in
the price could only have been made possible
by what Is known as a trust, and in
asmuch as under the spur of such
a wrong, suitable substitutes have since
been discovered for cotton covering, your com
mit fee do most earnestly recommend to every
cotton producer throughout the laud absolute
discontinuance of jute bagging whenever the
substitute can be obtained. Your committee
goes further and proclaims that this recom
mendation, whether viewed as a retaliatory
measure or simply os one of self-protection, is
equally justifiable, and that they recommend
like action, or non-ue when possible, of every
article which has been placed, or shall here
after be placed, under the trust for the purpose
of excluding competition and thus enabling the
projectors to fix their own price on same.
Col. L. L. L. Polk, of Raleigh, N. C., was
re-elected president of tho association, and
Hon. L. A. Yournan* was elected vice presi
dent from the states at large. All tho vice
presidents were ro-eleoted. G. VV. Vande
ver, of Tennessee, was elected secretary.
Resolutions were adopted urging the im
portance of securing legislation for the ad
vancement and protection of agricultural
interests.
The as ociation adjourned, to meet in
Nashville nest year.

from South Pittsburg, Tenn., say*: “A
bold attempt to assassinate Deputy United
States Marshal Samuel Hughes took place

colleagues, when he suddenly ran upon two
men with shotguns. They told the officer
to skip, and, upon his refusing to do so, one
of them, John Hobbs, fired at bimat a
space of thirtv yards. Eight of the buck
shot took effect. Tho officer pulled his re
volver as the would-be assassin isn off, hut
as it refused to work he could not shoot.
Ho was not fatally wounded.
SAVED BY A DAY BOOK.
“A day book in his co it pocket saved hia
life. The buckshot passed through the
book and into his breas,, just above tha
heart. Hobbs and the wiid-catters were ail
from Grundy county, and were selling
liquor on the mountain near WhitewelC
They have been defying the officers for
some time, and Officer Hughes attempted
their arrest with the above consequences.
His wounds were dressed this evening, and
he took his prisouer to Chattanooga to
night.’’
