Hie Father Claims to be a Son of Presi dent Mart n Van Buren The Ap pointee a Blacksmith in a Carriage Ehop—The Whites Opposed to the Appointment, but Not Bitter. Ameiuccs, Ga., K.k 7. —David A. Dud lev, n In was yesterday nominated for post master at Americus, is a prominent colored p lit cian of this city. He is something over 30 Years of age, a blacksmith by trade, and dailv works at his forge in the carriage sti- pof T. S. Greene. Ho is on the streets to-day wealing bis leather apron as usual. llis father, Andrew Dudley, a fine boot maker who is still living, belonged to Hon. Ge rge TV. Dudley, father of William H. Crawford Dudley, who is cashier of the Bank of Southwestern Georgia. A SON OF PRESIDENT VAN BUREN. Andrew Dudley claims to lie a son of President Martin Van Buren. His mother w s a servant in the fani’iy if Hon. William H. Crawford when he was senator from Georgia in Washington. George M. Dudley married a daughter of Wi Mam H. Crawford who named her son Wf iam H. Crawford Dudley. David Dudley is a negro much abive ordinary intelligence, but has but limited education. He has qui ik per ception, aud makes a fine stump speech He is a negro of good character, nothing se rious beiug chargeable against him. In na tional politics lie is always thoroughly republican, but in county aud city electi us, when the contest is between democrats, tie is always found supporting the candidates of his choice. OPPOSITION OF THE WHITES. The white people of the city are almost a unit in opposition to his appointment, but the News correspondent is not prepared to sav that, this opposition is greater than,it would be to th? appoint ment of any other negro. The News cor respondent had a ta'k with Dudley to-day The appointment t-ioE him by s’irpr'se, as lie did not look for a change unt 1 May, ■when Mr. Roney's time expires. He is not prepared to say who he will have associated with him in the office. He says he hopes if the {Senate confirms him to >*"uie the assistance of local gentlemen of intelligence and experience, who will aid htm in con ducting the affairs of the office to the satis faction of all reasonable people. GIVEN A BAD NAME. Representative Crisp called by appoint ment this afternoon on Postmaster General Wanamakerand formally protested against the appointment of Robert Dudley as post master at Americus, oil the ground that he was a worthless negro of bad reputation. Mr. Crisp was courteously treated by the Postmaster General, who said he was sur prised to hear that Dudley was that sort of a man, and that upon Mr. Crisp’s statement he would have the case investigated before action was taken on the nomination in the Senate, and if Dudley was what Mr. Crisp thought, the nomination would be with drawn. Mr. Crisp told him that evidence in regard to Dudley was now on the way from Americus. PROSPEROUS COKDEbB. Tho Cotton and Guano Factories Begin Operations.

Three Men Go to Make His Arrest, but of Course He Escapes. Pensacola, Fla., Feb. 7.—A special to the Daily -Votes from Milton, Fla., to-night, says that Detectives Shelton and Vincent and Express Agent Agee, who have been for some time past on the trail of Rube Burrows, the noted Alabama outlaw, quite recently located him on the east side of Yel low river, in Santa Rosa couuty, Fla. He had been hauling feed witnanox team from Faulk’s ferry, on Yellow river, to IV. B. Allen’s log camp since December. A posse started from Milton yesterday to capture him. Burrows was stopping with a man named Broxton, but did not, reach the house until after dark last night. TAKES HIS DEPARTURE. He inquired of Mrs. Broxton as to the whereabouts of her husband, and was told by her that he was down by tho river mail ing coffee for a party of hunters Bt .-rows rightly suspected that he was the game for which they were seeking and left the house at once. When the posse sought him lie could not be found, and the woman was un able to give any information of the direc tion he had taken. The posse returned to Milton to-day. The detectives have no doubt that the fugitive is Rube Burrows. A BAILOR’S LEAP TO DEATH. ' He Was an Expert Swimmer, But Was Made Helpless by Cramps. Pensacola, Fla., Feb. 7.—Last night Johann Stromberg, a sailor, leaped from the deck of the Swedish bark Gurli to re cover a boat which had drifted away from the vessel.

A SPEAKER’S GESTURES. Wizard Edison Invents a Photographic Adjunct to the Phonograph. From the New York Herald, Orange, N. J., Feb. L—lt seems almost like a fairy tale to read of the new and wonderful directions in which the fertile brain of the great electrical wizard, Thomas A. Edison, is reaching out. Those who live at a distance hear occasionally of some of thi more remarkable things that he has done, but those who, like myself, live near to bis great experimental laboratory, who are daily brought into more or less intnuate contact with the corps of trained experimenters who are directed bv his colossal genius, aro continually hearing of wonderful things that he has done or is doing, many of which never find tneir way into print. It was only by accident the other day that 1 got a clew to a series of of remarkable experi ments which havo lieen silently going on for nearly a year past, aud which have been brought to a successful conclusion and—dropped. A RIFLE BULLET PHOTOGRAPHED. Ti e great inventor at once harnessed tho lightning to do tho work, and before the camera arranged a series of vertical wires so line ns to lie practically invisible and so connect'd that the breaking of any one of them w uld complete an electrical circuit, and furnish an illuminating spark for the 3)o,<H)t)th of a second. At first tie experi ments seemed to lie fruitless, as the rapidity was such as to exceed the limits f sensitiza tion in the tdate of the camera; but weeks of careful experiment brought asoluti m in anew combination of sensitizing chemicals by which even this infinitesimal period of time sufficed fora perfect image. About a year ago Mr. Edison became in tensely interested in instantaneous pho tography in its possible availability in con nection with the phonograph, and at once tiegan an exhaustive senes ot experi rents in ttiat direction. The first thing was to develop the possibilities of the cam ra as to rapidity of exposure, and an elaborate sys tem ot experiments was begun to try if possible to photograph a ritle bullet in is passage through the air at its maximum initial velocity of 5 000 feet a second. To do this successfully no known mochanieal means were adequate—s,ooo feet means 00,000 inches, an inch being about, the length of a rifle bullet. But to secure a perfect picture of a bullet moving at this extraordinary velocity it must apparently be at rest, and hence the actual time of ex posure must he brought down to incredibly infinitesimal limits. But anew difficulty aroso. The siight, Imperceptible tremor of the room in which the experiments were conducted, caused by the motion of the machinery and dynamos in another part of the building, was suffi cient to ties troy tho sharpness and value of the photographic images. This was over come by erecting a special building for tho purpose, aud placing tho camera on a pier of solid masonry running down to the prim itive rock. Then, and then only, it was that success atteuded tho experiments. A speaker’s words and gestures. But the reader will doubtless ask tho question cut bone? What possible good was it to get a picture ct a rille bullet show ing the condensation of air in front it, the vacuum behind and tho air eddies that were thus created! Much every way! Not only as a practical means of studying tile best form for a bullet in overcoming tho re sistance of the air, but more especially as a means of developing tho great idea that Mr. Eiiison had in his mind of bringing photography to bear as an adjunct to the phonograph. He thought that if a speaker’s personality could lie brought 1 efore the eye by means of photography and tho stere >p ticon while the phon..graph was bringing the subject matter before the ear, that an important end would bo gained, and to ac complish this the elaborate series of experi ments were planned aud carried out. Tho result has been the most marvelous success and the most wonderful machine it is possi ble to conceive of. A REALISTIC PICTURE. Let the reader imagine a popular lecturer, preacher or orator delivering au address. In front of him, at the so-called reporters’ table, are two small machines, one tho well knowm phonograph, and the other an ingen ious piece of mechanism by which photo graphs of the speaker are taken iu succes sion with enormous rapidity at intervals, let us say, of from one-eighth to one twentieth of a second, and suppose both these machines are at work siieutly re cording both the uttered speech an l tho |x>rsonal appearance of tho speaker at each fractional part of a second. The results thus obtained may be sent to any desired poiut and the photographs thrown on a screen by au ingeniously contrived piece of mechanism. Thus the exact ap pearance of the speaker, with all his gestures and play of features, are exactly reproduced, while the phonograph simulta neously delivers the speech. Tho interval between the successive photographs is so infinitesimal that the screen picture is apparently a living one, moving, gesticu lating and apparently uttering the w onls, which, in fact, are spokou by the phonograph. Tne greatest difficulty experienced by Mr. Edison in his experiments was me synchronization of the two instruments, so that the utterances of the phonograph should ex actly coincide with the gesticulations, but this was finally overcome, au.l t ie exoeri rnents were crowne l with the most perfect success. YVhat the commercial value of the invention may be i3 yet to be decided, it cannot fail to be intensely interesting as an exhibition feature, but whether it will fill a useful niche in the everyday life of the world is another question entirely. Mr. Edison is not pushing the matter at present, being absorbed in his experiments on electrical traction for street cars. When that problem is decided he may bring this new' invention prominently before the public. Wanted to Employ Patti. From the Chicago Herald. Patti might—and then again she might not—feel flattered nt a little iucident that happened just after the close of her engage ment at the Auditorium, it will be remem bered that while here the diva was given a reception at the Chicago Conservatory of Music, and the pre.-s comments upon the event were voluminous, it is evident that they reached Moline, 111. Prof. Samuel Kayzer had positive proof of it, only a few days ago. The professor was called upon bv a nice-looking, middle-aged gentleman and lady, and a pretty young girl. They proved to be father, mother, aud daughter. The mother acted ns speaker. She asked if Patti could be seen; was she at the co isyr vatory at that minute? When the professor uttered “no,” tho lady asked what her hours were. This quostion threw light on the matter. The pro fessor concluded the visitors were under tho impression that Patti taught singing at the conservatory, and his surmise was correct. When he explained tho error, mother, and daughter express >d much dis appointment. The mother volunteered the information that her daughter had taken singing lessons from a teacher at home, and had also been sent to Rook Island, where it had cost a good deal, but they had seen in the papers that Patti had been so praised for her singing “Home, Sweet Home” at ti e conservatory that they thought they had better bring their daughter to Chi cago. “We have come on purpose for that and uothing else,” said mamma; “we sup posed it might cost a little extra to get Patti, but wo didn’t mind that; we want to give our daughter the best teaching there is, and we are so sorry Patti has left you.” And the trio wont away, still believing that Patti was a singing teacher.

What Reaction Thera is Believed to be Only Temporary Tha Monetary Prospect Improved—A Gain in Clear ings Outside of New York—The Price of Wool Lower. New York, Feb. 7. —R. G. Dun & Ca’s weekly review of trade says: It rarely happens that the situation in business is as perplexing as it now appears. With many causes of appreheni >n removed there is still a lack of expected activity, and no'- withstauning the perceptible improvement here within the past few days tho general tenor of reports is less encouraging. Yet in every quarter th r? issen strong confidence in tho future of business, and such reaction as appears is generally believed to be temporary. THE MONETARY PROSPECT. The monetary prospect has clearly im proved, wi.ile tho Lank rate in England has not been reduced. Loans of $1,810,000 by the Bank of England aid $1 >O,OOO by the Bank of France, in g 11 reserve, lesson tho chance of a disturbing drain from that side. The domestic money markets are generally growing easier, with moderate or tmr denia id. Some disturbance on account of wool failures at Philadelphia is about tho only I oil movement reported of au ad verse nature, C Elections also are average or fair at nearly all points, and definitely improved at several. Money accumulates here notwithstanding that the treasury has t iken in $1,000,000 auring the week more than it has paid out. NEW BUSINESS. The volume of new business in progress seems to be less accurately reflected bv the payments through banks, wtiich include settlements on transactions months ago. The clearings outside of New York last week showed a gain of 8.2 per cent, over last year, and in January a gain of 10.9 per oeut., but in fiw trade centers has thire been so considerable an increase in new transactions. LARGER BRANCHES OF INDUSTRY. The larger branches of indu try do not for the moment show entirely encouraging results. Iron is unmistakably weaker at Pittsburg and here offerings below current prices continue, and widle business in bar iron is there pronounced “extremely dull," in plates “very dull,” in structural iron new business comes very slowly. In rails there is not much doing at present, and in steel rails only two or three moderate sales aro reported. The decline in England from *>os 7d to 61* fid for Scotch pig has some influence hero. THE WOOL MARKET. In wool Boston’s sales for the week have been only 1,800,000 pounds, and prices of almost all domestic wools are lower, white at Philadelphia tho trade is extraordinarily dull, in part because of failures this week. Many manufacturers, including some of the strongest, aro seriously considering tho propriety of shutting their mills for a time, that the accumulation of unsold goods in the dealers’ hands may bo reduced. The exceptional weather is sufficient cause for the depression iu this business, as in boots and shoes, of which retailers hold an unsold surplus, aud hence are buying little. COTTON MANUFACTURES. Cotton manufacturers are well up to last year in production but without material in crease. Cotton is 1-lCc higher, in spite of a considerable decrease ill exports this week, and the sales were 018,000 bales speculating being rampant. The foreign trade of the country seems to shrink a little, as is natural after the enor mous movement of last year, an l exports and imports at New York both show some decline iu comparison with a year ago, the returns as usual including no specie, but merchandise only. The business failures occurring through out the country during the lad week num ber for t.be United States 265, and for Can ada 56, a total of 321 against 2fiL last week. Nashua's Strike. Nashua, N. H., Feb. 7.—The strike at the Nashua Manufactu ing Company's works has assumed serious proportions. The weavers and spinners both held meet ings to-day, and decided not to return to work. Fully 1,400 workers are idle. The indications are that the strike will become general. ALMOST A SAVAGE. A White Man's Strange Life in the South Sea Island?. From the New York Herald. Portland, Me., Jan. 24.—The story of the wreck of the Portland bark Tewksbury L. Sweat in the South Pacific, aud the strange story of the rescue of her crew, as told by Cape. William Gooding of Yar mouth, Me., has a strange s-quel. The bark sailed from Newcastle, New South Wales, March 7, 1889, for Hong Kong, under charter for Now York. She proceeded until the 9th of April foliowing, when in latitude 7° 6 north and longitude 149 IP east, she encount tered a gale and was driven ashore ou Su sanne reef, near Paeeat island, one of the group of Caroline islands, in the South Pa cific. The crew escaped iu one of the ship’s boats, aud managed with great difficulty to reach a small islet to the northward. From this islet, after the storm subsided, they made the island of Pozeat, which is iiihab ited by a race of fierce savages. As the boat approached the island a fleet of canoes put off to intercept them. There were about thirty canoes, with eight or ten men in each, and all wore armed with knives and spears. Some of the savages could not wait for the boat to come alongside, but jumped overboard and swam to her, each man carrying a long, wicked looking knife, held between his teeth. STRIPPED THE SAILORS. The first savages to reach the boat clam bered in until tha boat was .nearly swamped. Then they began to s’rip the sailors of their coats and cuter garments, throwing the garments aboard their own canoes, which by this time were paddling alongside. The white men wore soon despoiled of every thing but their undershirts, these being left to them, and the whole fleet dre.v iu toward the land. Wiien they got ashore, and while the shipwrecked crow were standing surrounded by the noisy crowd of natives, a man dressed as all the others, only with a clot h about hts hips, pushed his way through the crowd and spoke to them iu tho English language. To tho astonishment of Capt. Gooding, to whom tho man addressed himself, the seem ing native introduced himself as Charles Irons, an Englishman, and offered to ren der any assistance it was possible for him to give. Later the captain learned Ir ns’ history. It appears that ho was left nt Pozeat island by a trading ves-el about four years ago, Ins business beiug to represent tbe traders iu the cocoauut oil trade, but the vessel had never called for Irons since leaving him, and he had gradually assumed the habits of tbe natives, aud finally became so much like them in appearance and manner of life he was not in a i v way to be distinguished from the people among whom he livod. He had taken to himself seven wives, and was regarded by the natives as a man of im portance second only to the chief of the tribe. FORGOT THEIR CIVILIZATION. Irons had been so long among tho natives that he had forgotten many of the common things of civilization. A dav or two after landing at Pozeat, Capt. Gooding, who had become in a degree u-ice tain ab ut bis reckoning of time, not knowing exactly whether the day was Thursday or Friday in the week, asked Irons if lie'kuew what nay of the week it was. irons answered that, he did not, and more thau that, ho did not know what year it was. Capt. Gooding says that the natives would never have allowed hpn and his crew to leave Pozeat if it had not been for the good offio-8 of Iro s. Irons interested himself in behalf of the shipwreck.d men, and hire-1 a canoe from the natives with presents of English calico, from stores in h:s possession. With this canoe Capt. G joling, See ■id Mate George \\. Harrison, and one of the ship’s crew set sail tea days after their ar rival at Pozeat, leaving the remainder of th’ ship's company and Fir-t M ite Richard Watchman, seven men iu ail, a'. P z*at. Tcecap'nin and hig men male th ir way in the "anoa by a roundabout course from island to island, touching nt eight different ones and making stops at each varying from two -lays to a in mth’s duration, finally ar riving at lluk. where there is a ms.ionary station. Here they were cared for bv the mission aries and obtained the use of the boat be longing to tbe station. In the missionary boat they made sail back to Pozeat direct, and taking the members of the crew they had left there returned to the missionary island. Two months after their return the mis sionary vessel, .Morning Star, arrived and tonk them ail to H moluiu, where they landed Nov. 18. From Honolulu Cant. Goo.ling and part of tho crew were brought by the steamer Australia to San Francisco, arriving there Nov 29. ASKING AFTER THE PRIME MINISTER. Th’s story, told by Capt. Gooding on his r turn, was published in the Hr mid's L mdon editiou, aud to- iay tho managing .iwnors of the wrecked bark, Chare, Leavitt & Cos., of this city, and Capt. Gooding of \ armoutb, are iu receipt of letters from London making inquiry in regard to the man Irons, who appears to figure as prime minister of the savage Poz -at. B 'th letters are from the same source, the “Probate and divorce registry, Somerset house, London,” and are signe i by Lancelot C. Irons Tho writer says he has reasons to believe the white man on Pozeat island is his younger and only living brother, and •-ays; “We last heard of him in December, 1878, w >en he v.as iruling with the sa'-ages of Now G inea, iu a ship that chartered from Brisbane.” He gives a minute de scription of his brother ns he appeared at hat time, and says his full name is Will iam Charles Frederick Irons. The letter to Capt. Gooding contains questions as to particulars of identification and inquires as to how a sistance might be sent to the man at Pozeat if be proves to tie the person sought for. The letter to Clmse, Leavitt & Cos. concludes: “I and all my people feel sure that the Englisuman mentioned is our brother, supposed to havo been murdered by tbe savages eleven veara ago.” HOW TO RESCUE THE MAN. I saw Capt. William Gooding at his home in Yarmouth to-day. He said he had no doubt, th man at Pozeat was the William Charles Frederick Irons inquired for. The description given in the letter from Somer set house tallies in all points with that of the mini he met at 1 ’ zeat. Capt. Gooding says that at his first meet ing with the tna i at Pozeat, in surprise at being addr- s ed in the language of civiliza tion, lie exclaimed: '‘YY’hat! Can you speak English I " “1 ought to,” was the answer, “for I was born iu London.” Capt. Gooding says he left Irons at the missionary station at Ituk, Irons having accompanied him there oil the return voy age of tne missionary boat. When they arrived the missionaries were greatly sur prised to sea Irons, for they had hoard a report of his death at the hands of the sav ages in December, 1878. The party also met at one of the islands in tho Ruk lagoon Harry Chisholm, who was at one time a shipmate of Irons. He was surprised to see Irons alive, having heard the report of his death. From information gathorel by Capt. Gooding, it appears that both these men wore at one time together in a vessel trad ing among the islands. This may be the ship chartered at Brisbane that Lancelot Irons refers to in his letter. One feature of the trading carried on by the vessel was the kidnapping of natives from tiie Caro line and the mere northern of tho Fijii aud other islands. It was during a trip of this kind among the New Guinea islanders that the light occurred which lod to the report of Irons’ death. The business was broken up by men-of war ten or twelve years ago, since when Irons has lived a savage life at Pozoat. Chisholm, w ho is Irish by birth, uas lived in about the same condition, lie is a man of influence in one of the three tribes of na tives inhabiting a large mountainous island in tbe ltuk lagoon. This lagoon is about thirty miles in cir cumference, and contains seven or eight is lands. Captain Gooding thinks Irons would like to return to civilization if his future support were assured. He will write to London to that effect, and will say that a letter addressed care Rev. Mr. Knelling, Missionary station, Ruk, w.ll probably reach Irons without unnecessary delay. The Only Female Freemason. From (Jalignani's Messenger. At a recent meeting of the Dover Lodge of Freema-ons a presentation of two en gravings was mada to the lodge by the mayor of Dover. One of the prints was a portrait of the Hon. Mrs. Aldworth of Newmarket county, Cork, the only female Freemason over initiated. She was the you ig-st child and only daughter of Rt. Hon. Arthur St. Loger, created first Vis count Doneroile, June 23, 1703. The origin of the lady’s initiation seems to have been that, having secreted herself in a way as to observe t ie proceedings of a lodge, she be came so agitated as to reveal her presence. After a 1 mg c nsultation by the brethern, it was decided (hat Mrs. Aldworth should herself ba initiated in the mysteries of Free masonery. The “Testable” Came Off.
