SPEAKERSHIP CHANCES.
REED SEEMS TO BE IN THE LEAD
AT THIS STAGE.
McKinley, Cannon. Burns and Hender
son Follow in the Order Named—
The Votes Claimed by the New Eng
land Candidate Reed Expected at
the Capital This Week.
W ashingtox, Nov. 12. —Congressman
McKinley was here for a few hours to-day,
leaving in the afternoon for New York
■with his wife, not to return till next week.
He had nothing to say for publication. His
friends say, however, that his canvas is in
excellent condition. He himself has made
no personal efforts to get votes. He has not
even asked the members of the Ohio delega
tion to vote for him. But they say that he
has received assurances from membei s elect
sufficient to give him strong hopes. He is
not excited about it, and will be as equable
as ever, whatever the result may be.
NOT AS CONFIDENT AS REED.
It is noticeable they do not speak with
the confidence of Congressman Reed’s
friend?. The latter admit that Mr. Reed,
as well as themselves, have directed his can
vass, although they state that Mr. Reed nas
made no promises of committee places, and
no c mibinations with delegations having
candidates for the secondary offices of the
House. “Mr. Reed,” they say, “will
go into the speaker’s chair un
pledged.” They say he will be
nominated on the first ballot. They claim
New England’s 23 votes solidly, 10 in New
York and at least that number in Pennsyl
vania, where they claim the diverse in
fluences of Quay, Cameron and Magee.
Than in the west, California and all the
new state delegations are claimed, to say
nothing of scattering votes in Minnesota,
Kansas and other states.
MEN WHO MAY HELP HIM.
If it comes to a second choioe the follow,
ers of Congressmen Cannon and Henderson
are claimed for Mr. Reed. Nothing appar
ently is claimed in the south for Mr. Reed.
He will make no promises, and the southern
men want promises, and very particular
promises too. Home of then have ap
proached Mr. Reed’s friends, it is said,
■without getting any encouragement.
Messrs. McKinley, Cannon, Burns and
Henderson seem to be the order of the pro
cession after Mr. Reed, but until Mr. Reed
arrives Thursday or Friday it will be diffi
cult to come any closer to the truth.
GUENTHER FOR CLERK.
Ever since congress adjourned the friends
of ex-Representative Guenther of Wiscon
sin, one of the most popular of the Ger
mans, have been trying’ to get him a suit
able office. The President has not given
liim any of the offices they have askpd.
They now propose, in the event that Mr.
Reed is elected speaker, to endeavor to
make Mr. Guenther clerk of the House, on
the theory that the ea-t cannot have both
the principal offices of the House. They
have telegraphed Mr. Guenther to come on
and look the field over.
NORTHEAST GEORGIA’S FAIR.
A Big Crowd Takes In the Sights on
the Opening Day.
Athens, Ga., Nov. 12. —The Northeast
Georgia fair opened to-day. A torchlight
procession occurred last night and every
house in Athens was brilliantly illuminated.
This morning at 10 o’clock the trade proces
sion moved. It was two mile3 long. Visitors
here from Augusta, Macon and Savannah,
declare i hat it surpassed anything of the
kind they have ever seen at their homes.
Every business house in Athens was
represented, and the cost of some of the
floats is estimated at over 1500. One of the
handsomest floats in the parade was a ship
of chrysanthemums arranged by the
young ladies of the Lucy Cobb institute.
Five thousand people visited the grounds to
day to witness the military drill, wild west
races, etc. A large number of visitors is
present. The fair has opened under most
flattering prospects. To-night a military
ball is in progress in the main building.
To-morrow’s programme assures another
large attendance.
A BMABH-UP AT LULA.
A Passenger Train Dashes Into the
Rear of a Freight.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 12.—At Lula, a
•station on the Air-Line, seventy miles above
Atlanta, there was a railroad accident with
very serious results, which, for some reason,
was not reported here. At $ o’clock a
freight train was taking the side and
sent back a flagman for a passenger train
coming on behind and due. The passenger
came up before the flagman could stop it,
and plunged into the rear of the freight.
THE FATALITIES.
The passenger engine literally plowed
through the caboose, but fortunately none
of the crew were in it. Engineer Bell,
besides internal injuries, had a leg cut off,
and is not expected to recover. Fireman
Ford was killed, his body being tearfully
mangled. Beil is an ex-couucilman of At
lanta, and very popular here. Ford lived
at Norcross, where his remains will be car
ried.
CAUGHT IN A CHIMNEY.
An Albany Boy Tries to Enter a Grocery
by an Unusual Route.
Albany, Ga., Nov. 12.—Albert Fields, 20
years old, attempted to enter his father's
grocery store this morning about 2 o’clock.
He ascended to the roof and attempted to
§o down the chimney and became jammed.

in such close quarters and was rescued by
his father and a few friends. Part of the
brick chimney was torn away aud he was
released in a suffocating condition, having
been in his close quarters several hours.
Daniel High, an old citizen of Albany,
died last night.
STEVENSON ACQUITTED.
A Feeling that the Charge Should Not
Have Been Brought.
Swainsboro, Ga., Nov. 12.— The pre
liminary trial of Col. Samuel D. Stevenson,
president of the Swainsboro Bank, who
was charged with forgery, was ended yes
terday morning and the defendant dis
charged for the want of sufficient evidence
to convict. The opinion prevails here that
the charge should not have been brought
against Col. Stevenson.
A NEGRO CONVENTION.
Speakers Urge the Withholding of
Names from the Census Takers.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 12.—About 100
negroes met here to-day in response to a
call for a convention. Matters of interest

other things the speakers urged the negroes

in order that the number of democratic
congressional representatives may be dimin
ished. ~

ROBBERS IN A POSTOFFICE.
The Bafe Blown Open and Nearly $3OO
, in Cash and Stamps Secured.
Fort Valley, Ga., Nov. 13.—Yester
day morning it became known that the
postoffice here had bean robbed of a few
hundred dollars and nearly all the postage
stamps. From the manner in which the
burglar entered it is evident that he was a
professional. The report made in blowing
open the safe did not attract the attention
of parties sleeping overhead or of the night
watchman of the town, who was on duty
the entire night.
WHERE IT WAS LOCATED.
The postoffice is In tho dry goods store of
S. B. 1 Browo& Son, and the burglars made
their entry by b iring out a block in the
back door large en nigh for one’s hand and
arm. It was an easy matter then to unlock
the door. Money was the only booty
sought. The ca-h drawer of the store was
rifled of some small change. The postoffice
safe was completely wrecked.
THE BOOTY.
There was about $250 in the safe, besides
a number of registered letters which were
going through this office to other
points, and of course their contents
are unknown. Superintendent Terrell
has been notified. The postmaster,
Mrs. M. A. Brown, a widow of some
business ability, is completely unnerved
over the affair, as her administration for
the past {1 ve years has been very satisfactory
to the people here and to the government,
and there has never been a word of com
plaint against the postoffice.
FLORIDA’S ORANGE BELT ROAD
The Plant System and Duval's Road
Possible Purchasers.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 12.—Tho
Orange Belt railway, which runs south
westerly across the peninsula, with its
termination at Bt. Petersburg, on the Gulf
c >ast, is to-day the object of much envious
attention on the part of several railroad
corporations. Last Friday H. B. Plant,
with a party of officials of that system,
went over the line of the road with a view
to purchasing, it is said, and yesterday
President Duval and a party of Florida
Central and Peninsular system also went
over the Orange Belt railway on a tour of
inspection.
THE CLYDES ALSO INTERESTED.
It is said that the Clyde steamship line is
“standing in” with the Florida Central and
Peninsular Company, and that they will
outbid the Plant people. Should this com
bination secure control of the orange belt
it would perceptibly weaken the hold of the
Plant system on South Florida and give the
Clyde people a portion of the South Florida
trade and also that of the gulf. A “deal”
of scipse kind is likely to be consummated
in a very few days.

CANDLER CHIPS.
A Colony to be Brought from New
England in the Spring.
Candler, Fla., Nov. 12.—F. A. Spring
stead, wife and daughter returned home
this week after a year’s absence at their old
home in Gregory, Mich.
J. D. Marshall of New Orleans is prepar 1
ing to plant a five-acre grove of the Villa
Francha lemons on his place near town.
The growing of lemons it fast becoming a
leading industry in this part of the state,
as the lemon does well and is exceedingly
profitable.
A. D. Moore and bride, nee Mi-8 Cora
Hisoock, leave this week for the winter’s
sojourn at Springfield, Mass. Mr. Moore
goes to advertise this section and bring out
a colony in the soring.
The organization at Leesburg of the com
pany to straighten and deepen the Oekla
waha river is of much importance to this
section, as lying near our town are
thousands of acres of land equaling the St.
Cloud lands at Kissimmee which would be
reclaimed if this company do what they
propose. All that is needed to bring this
valuable land into cultivation is to deepen
the river and straighten it.
ALL ABOUT AUGUSTA.
A Negro Found Drowned—The Citi
zens' Reform Movement.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 12.—Ed Davis, a
negro porter in E. R. Schneider’s store, was
discharged last week for drunkenness.
To-day his body was found in the canal.
The cause of his drowning is unknown.
The committee of one hundred of the
Citizens’ Reform Association met to-night
and perfected the organization of the asso
ciation, and appointed committees.
The principal committee was one
to investigate the affairs of
the city and report upon the true status
of things and tho reaso is therefor. This
committee is composed of J. C. C. Black,
James Tobin, W. A. Latimer, George B.
Lombard and George 8. Murphy. This
organization will occupy toward the city
the same position as the grand jury does
toward the county, and will bring ab.out a
healthy state of municipal affairs.
Drowned at Port Tampa.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 12.—Emanuel
Watson, assistant purser on the steamship
Olivette, was drowned at Port Tampa late
last night. In trying to throw a rope his
foot slipped and he fell into deep water. In
the darkness he could not be rescued.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1889.
COL. ALFRED RHETT DEAD
THE 6TORY OF HIS LIFE THAT OF
A TYPICAL SOUTHERNER
The Duel In Which He Killed Capt.
Ransom Calhoun One of the Most
Notorious Events of His Life—His
Defense of Fort Sumter and His Ca
reer as Charleston’s Chief of Police.
Charleston, S. C., Nov. 12.—C01. Alfred
Rbett, one of the prominent figures in the
war of secession in South Carolina, died
t is morning, and was buried this after
noon. He was born in this city in 1838, and
was a son of the great Barnwell Rbett,
whose connection with the Charleston Mer
cury was part of the history of the state.
He graduated at Harvard in 1860, and
reached Charleston just aftir the passage of
the ordinance of secession. II) was commis
sioned a lieutenant in the First battalion of
regular artillery of the South Carolina
army, and was on duty at Fort Moultrie
during the| bombardment of Fort Sumter
in 1861.
ROSE RAPIDLY.
From a lieutenant he rose rapidly to the
rank of a colonel of regulars, and served
through the war with distinguished gal
lantry. having been raptured at the battle
of Averystoro, the last battle of the great
struggle. After Col. Anderson’s evacua
tion of Fort Sumter Col. Rhett was
assigned to its command, and was in charge
when the monitors made their attack on
the fort and were repulsed with the loss of
the Keokuk and several others of the fleet.
Ho retained command of the fort till the
operations of the federal army on Morris
Island, when Gen. Gilmore’s batteries
rendered the fortress untenable for artillery
operations.
THE EVACUATION.
When Col Rhett’s regulars were ordered
to evacuate, and the fortress was put in
charge of an infantry garrison, Gen. Gil
more’s guns had so battered the walls that
the casemate guns could no longer be
worked. CoL-Rbett was afterward placed
in command of the artillery defenses around
Charleston and remained in that position
till the evacuation of the city in February,
1865.
HIS DUEL WITH CALHOUN.
The incident of Col. Rhett’s life was his
duel with Ransom Calhoun, an event that
created much feeling in the south. Ran
som Calhoun, a kinsman of the great John
C. Calhoun, was a captain in the battalion
of regulars in which Rhett was a lieuten
ant. The battery was on duty at Fort
Moultrie when Anderson wav being bom
barded. It was firing the red-hot shells
which set fire to the barracks in
Sumter and finally hurried Anderson’s sur
render. The shells were heated in a furnace
near the guns, aud had to be handled very
gingerly.
CAUSE OF THE ILL FEELING.
Capt. Calhoun, it is said, made some re
mark to Lieut. Rhett reflecting on his
manner of handling tho Bheils. This led to
an unpleasant fooling on Lieut. Rhett’s part,
and it was aggravated later by a repri
mand, which Capt. Calhoun is said to have
administered to his lieutenant in the pres
ence of the battery. Lieut. Rhett chal
lenged Capt. Calhoun. The latter de
clined tho coallenge, giving as his reason
that the war was going on and
his services were the state’s, but offering ti
hold himself ready to meet Lieut. Rhett
when the war ended. Lieut. Rhett, who
was a fire-eater, like all bis family, was
very much exasperated, and took occasion
at all social gatherings to denounce and be
rate Capt. Calhoun.
CALLED TO ACCOUNT BY A FRIEND OF
CALHOUN.
Things went on for about a year in this
way, but finally, at the Charleston club,
Lieut. Rhett began to berate Capt. Cal
houn as usual, when Arnoldus Vanderhorst,
one of Capt. Calhoun’s friends, resented the
insult that bad been offered his friend, and
challenged Lieut. Rhett to a duel.
The two men met and ex
changed shots, but neither was
injured and the affair was settled. It is
then said that Capt. Calhoun changed his
mind about lighting a duel. He said he
could not afford to hare his friends involved
in quarrels on his apeount, and as he had •
announced that he could not fight a duel
while engaged in the service of his state,
he sent in his resignation and challenged
Lieut. Rhett.
CALHOUN KILLED.
The challenge was promptly accepted and
the duel was fought. The battle ground
was in the city limits. Capt. Calhoun ap
peared on the field in a dress suit of black,
and Lieut. Rhett in his confederate uni
form. Capt. Calhoun fell mortally
wounded at the fiijst shot and died
within an hour or two. The duel created
inteuse excitement here at tho time. Some
of Capt. Calhoun’s friends denounced Lieut.
Rhett in unmeasured terms, and it is said
that one of them, a clergyman, was so en
raged, that meeting Lieut. Rhett on the
street, he threw off his clerical garb and
dared him to challenge him.
After the war Col. Rhett devoted his at
tention to rice planting.
MADE CHIEF OF POLICE.
In 1876 he was elected chief of police of
this city, and served through two ad
ministrations. He was admitted .to be the
best chief of police the city over had. He
lost his place, however, after a six years’
term, and at the time of his death was a
trial justice. During tho earthquake, when
the entire city was demoralized and living
out in the streets and parks, the negroes, in
their religious frenzy, made things so un
pleasant to the whites that in many cases
the latter were driven out of the square?.
The police declined to interfere, or at least
did nothing to preserve order.
RHETT TO THE RESCUE.
At that time CoL Rhett was out of po
litical life. He was in the city, however,
and at the request of the citizens he was
clothed with police powers, mounted on a
horse, and in a day or two had perfect
peace and quiet restored in all the earth
quake camps. He was a mau of unques
tionable courage. In au election riot here
in 1878 he quelled a mob of over 500 infu
riated negroes. Death resulted from a con.
gestive chill, resulting from malaria
acquired last summer while planting rice in
the country.

WOMEN AS BAD AS MON.
An Excited Debate in the Convention
of the W. C. T. U.
Chicago, Nov. 12. —When the session of
the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union
convention at Battery D armory wai
opened this morning, it was known that a
storm was coming on. for during the ses
sion of yesterday, at the motion of Mrs.
Aldrich and Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of lowa,
the consideration of the proposed non
partisan amendment to the constitution of
the organization was set down for to-day.
WHAT THE AMENDMENT PROVIDES.
The amendment provides that the objects
of the Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union shall be to interest and unite the
Christian women of this nation in non-sec
tarian aud non-partisan temperance work
for the reformation of the intemperate and
the education of public sentiment in behalf
of total abstinence and prohibition of t
traffic in alcoholic liquors, the development
of social purity, the suppression of vice and
crime, aud the education of the masses in
the duties and responsibilities of good citi
zenship.
THE CONVENTION AOAINST Ilk
It was evident from the commencement
of the debate that the feeling of the con
vention was overwhelmingly against the
proposed amendment. The delegates were
not disposed to list,in to speeches of the
women who favored its adoption, and sev
eral times there was hissing and cries of
“sit down.”
In moving the amendment, Mrs. Aldrich
of lowa said she wished the convention to
accept it because It was simply right, and
just and honest. She said there was no
definite statement of the objects of the or
ganization in the constitution.
AN ANOMALOUS POSITION.
The Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union women occupied an anomalous posi
tion, because they declared themselves non
partisan and vet adopted the most partisan
resolutions. The women associated in the
organization had political rights, although
not suffrage, and it was wrong for the ma
jority to adopt resolutions binding all
women to support a certain political party.
It was just as wrong for a woman to give
away her political influence as for a man to
sell his vote.
SOME OF THOSE WHO SPOKE.
Mrs. Henry of Evanston. 111., Mrs. Wells
of Tennessee, Mrs. H. M. Barker of South
Dakota, Mrs. Perkins of Ohio, Mrs. Buell,
the national secretary, and others spoke in
opposition to tae adoption of the amend
ment ai a reflection on the previous action
of the union, and declaring that the union
was non-pariisan, being ready to support
any party which would put a prohibition
plank in its platform.
THE CONVENTION DECLARED PARTISAN.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster then spoke. She
said the convention was partisan despite its
declaration to the contrary. The names of
honorable men in the Republican party
had been dragged in the mud on the con
vention platform. “I repeat,” said she,
“that the convention is partisan. Partisan
in feeling and partisan in its assaults on
republican statesmen.”
INTERRUPTED BY HISSES.
Hisses interrupted the speaker. "Yes,
and those hisses are partisan. They come
from the delegates themselves and not from
spectators.”
A motion was made to indefinitely post
pone the discussion. It was voted down.
The question was then called on the
amendment. A few voices cried for its
adoption, but the great bulk of the dele
gates shouted against it.
Miss Willard, as chairman, declared the
amendmentJost.
The Knife With Which 001. Swope
Was Killed.
“I have often seen tho knife with which
Col. Swope was killed by Col. Goodloe,” raid
a friend of the Latter the other day. “It is a
clasp knife, with a pointed blade about four
Inohes long, and with a spring which holds
the blade back when onoe opened. Col.
Goodloo has always carried th.s knife, and
he carried it as a weapon. It was the only
weapon he did carry. I never knew a Clay
who did not carry a clasp knife. Henry
Clay carried one, and all the Clays who
have cime after him carried the same sort
of a knife. It is the traditional weapon of
the Clay f imily.”
MEDICAL.
Catarrh
Is a constitutional and not a local disease,
and therefore it cannot be cured by local ap
plications. It requires a constitutional rem
edy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working
through the Wood, eradicates the impurity
which causes and promotes the disease, and
Catarrh
effects a permanent cure. Thousands of
people testify to the success of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla as a remedy for catarrh when other
preparations had failed. Hood's Sarsaparilla
also builds up the whole system, and makes
you feel renewed in health and strength.
Catarrh
“ For several years I have been troubled
with that terribly disagreeable disease, ca
tarrh. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla with the
very best results. It cured me of that contin
ual dropping In my throat, and stuffed-up feel
ing. It has also helped my mother, who has
taken it for run down state of health and kid
ney trouble.” Mrs. S. D. Heath, Putnam, Ct.
