RALLY OF THEDRUMMERS
AN ATTEMPT TO FREEZE OUT THE
ATLANTA BRANCH.
The Windy City Bakes in a Lot of
New Members in an Effort to Cap
ture the Convention— How the Mat
ter will be Decided Still unknown.
Atlanta, May 5.-The second annual
convention of the Southern Travelers’ As
sociation began here to—day. About 400
delegates are in attendance. The day was
spent in entertaining the visitors by parades
and speeches. There has as jet been no
formal organization of the convention. The
board of directors are engaged in deciding a
knotty point, and until their decision is an
nounced no business will be transacted. The
rivalry between the Atlanta and Savannah
branches, both of which desire to
furnish the next president and
headquarters office. seems to be
a; the bottom of the delay. Early this
in >rning the directors met. The point was
made that Atlanta was not entitled to be
represented in the meeting, since her men
had failed to comply with that clause of
the constitution of the Southern Travelers’
Association which provides that thirty
days before each each annual meeting $1
per member must be paid into the common
treasury.
SIX HUNDRED MEMBERS CLAIMED.
Six hundred dollars was in the hands of
the president of the Atlanta branch with
which to pay the dues of 600 members,
which would entitle the local drummers to
a representation of sixty, but it was insisted
that it was too late to make the payment.
The question, after having been discussed
at length, was finally turned over to the
attorney of the association, Hon. W. H.
Fleming of Augusta. He gave an opinion,
it is said, but the directors continued to
hammer away at the vexed question all
through the day and until 9 o’clock to-night.
If a decision was reached it was kept secret,
And will not be announced until to-morrow.
Concordia hall, near the old capitol, has
been made the headquarters for the deliber
ations of the body and the entertainment of
the visitors.
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
While the directors were arguing, the
members in general were entertaining
themselves with impromptu speech-making.
A hard shower came up about 10 o’clock
nnd the street parade had to be p stponed.
A number of witty addresses whiled away
the time till the opera house exercises com
menced.
Mayor Glenn welcomed the visitors in a
neat speech at DeGive s. In bis address the
fact was developed that even though the
public library could not furnish a single
author who had undertaken in cold print
to do justice to that extraordinary genius,
the drummer, the mayor presented to the
travelers the freedom of the city. A letter
was read from the governor
stating that he had been prevented
from attending, but expressing h s sympa
thy with the objects of the association and
tns appreciation ot the useful work per
formed by American drummers The
president. Dean Newman, was then intro
duced, and responded briefly to the mayor’s
welcome.
C’apt, Evan Howell spoke next, and was
followed by the first president of the asso
ciation, Samuel Weisiger.
The president of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, Junius G. Oglesby, spoke next.
An address from Hon. J. W. Fleming
concluded the exercises. HU speech took
well with his audience.
The weather having cleared the travelers
sallied out for the street parade. The order
of march was as follows; Zouave band,
Augusta delegation, Macon, Savannah,
Rome, Columbus, Athens, Birmingham,
Atlanta. The Augusta delegation caught
the spectators with their handsome badges
and variegated Japanese parasols. After
the } arade open bouse was held at Concor
dia hall. The convention will begin work
at 9:30 o’clock to-morrow. An interesting
programme has been arranged for the sec
ond day.
Pimples, blotches and sores and their ranse

tion asking that the sheriff be restrained

property kept back the amount mentioned
and tendered it to Mrs. Flanders. She re
fused to accept it, acting, as she said, ac
cording to instructions from Mr. Phillips.

Finally fl. fas. were issued under which the
Property was to have been sold for Mr.
(fillip* benefit. Judge Clarke granted the
injunction prayed for.

J. F. Smith & Cos., St. Louis, Mo.—l
consider it my duty to pen you a tew lines
in praise of your excellent remedy. I was
in poor health for several years and have
paid hundreds of dollars for different kinds
of medicines. Last fall I procured a bottle
of your Bile Beans, which did me a great
deal of good, and so I obtained ten additional
bottles, and they have done more for me
than all the other medicines. A year a-o
my weight was 147 pounds; it is now 175
pounds. I regard your Bile Beans the best

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1890
ONE BIG STRIKE ENDED.
CHICAGO’A CARPENTERS TO RE
SUMS WORK.
An Agreement Reached Last Night
at a Long Meeting of the Arbitration
Committees—The Association of the
Old Bosses Not In the Deal—Other
Labor Fights.
Chicago, May s.—The great carpenters’
strike is finally settled. The nece-sary
papers were signed to-day and ratified by
both sides concerned in the arbitration. The
last report will be made to-morrow morn
ing to the judicial umpires, and Thursday
morning scores of buildings that for four
weeks have been practically deserted will
echo with th 9 stand of hammer and saw
from fully 4,000 journeyman carpe iters.
HOW IT WAS BROUGHT ABOUT.
The two arbitration committee-) of the
new Biss Carpenters’ Association and
strikers met this evening at the Grand Pa
cific hotel with Judges Griggs, McConnell
and Tuley, and, after a session of three
hours’ length, settled the last detail. The
journeymen achieved a sweeping victory,
fbey made concessions on but two points,
and every journeyman carpenter through
out the city was jubilant to-night over the
result. Tueonly disappointment was that
the stubbornness of the old association has
left its members wholly out of the final
deal. _
TALLAHASSEE’3 POSTMASTER.
William Webster More Acceptable
Than Ex-Gov. Reed.
Tallahassee, Fla., May s.—The an
nouncement that President Harrison had
withdrawn the nomination of William T.
Webster as postmaster at Tallahessee and
nominated Harrison Reed in his stead is
looked upon here as proof conclusive that
no man satisfactory to the people can ex
pect office from the present administration.
Webster is a republican, but is an honorable
gentleman and stands high in the
community, being more popular with
democrats than with the republicans
Immediately after the publication
of the press dispatch that Webster
had been appointed, republicans hero wired
a vigorous protest to Washington, charging
that Webster had always voted the local
democratic ticket, and was not a "true and
tried republican.” A more detailed protest
went by mail, and as a result Webster has
never received any official notice that the
President wanted him to be postmaster.
Webster was recommended by northern re
publican friends and his nomination was
quite a shock to the local wire-pullers.
THE NEW NOMINEE.
Harrison Reed is not a citizen of Talla
hassee, but of Jacksonville. He is a bitter
partisan, has done much to keep the ne
groes in republican bondage by exciting
their prejudice*, and is altogether a repub
lican after Harrison’s own heart—and then,
you know, he was named after grandpa
Harrison. Harrison Reed is one of the oia
carpet bag party, and from 1868 to 1873
was governor of Florida. His appointment
is an opeu confession that republicans are
scarce in county—so scarce that they
have to go ail the way to Jacksonville to
find a postmaster for Tallahassee.
FLORIDA’S TEACHERS.
Florida teacher* are preparing to make
a creditable display at the session of the
Nations 1 Educational Association in St.
Paul, Minn., in July. A committee has
been appointed to collect exhibits, printed
matter, etc., and the bureau of Immigra
tion will make the June number of the
Monthly Bulletin a special educational
issue, several thousand copies of which will
be sent to St. Paul tor free distribution.
HIGH WATERS STILL RISING.
No Hope of a Fall Till the Flood Now
Running Out Has Passed.
New Orleans, May s.—Dispatches from
Brusley Landing, Plaquemine, St. Mary,
Morgan City aud other points report the
overflowing water rising everywhere be
tween the Mississippi river and Bayou
Tecbe. There is but little hope for improve
ment in that section until the flood now
coming down has run out.
The Picayune's Houghton (Tex.) special
says the high waters there show no cnange
for the better, and the overflow necessitates
the replauting of crops.

THEY QUAILED BEFORE WOMEN.
Men Who Blushed and Were Con
fused tn the Presence of the Opposite
Sex.
From the Boston Journal.
The writer knows it for a fact that the
Hen. Caleb Cushing,- who, with the excep
tion of the Hon. Rufus Choate (par mobile
fratrum), was the best man to sit ad
listen to he has ever t een acquainted with,
wa* substantially dumb in the societv’of
women. Ha eitner and: i not know how to talk
to them, or he would nA, and he could
scarcely 1 ok into tie fac- of one of them
without blushing. He could not look them
fairly in the eyes, in fact, nor cou and he men
either, for that matter. There seemed to
be an unaec uatable flmidity and shrink
ing about him, as there was even about
Choate himself, great man as he was.
And the writer would remark, in passing,
that he remem uers, as to the iat.cr, that
one evening at one of the large hotels in
Boston there was a reunion, for some pur
pose, of the graduates of Harvard College
in and about Boston, and Choate was one of
the invited guests. 'I he late brilliant Jcsiah
Quincy, Jr. (as he was taem, pre3.dod at the
table with his us lal inimitable grace and
piquancy. Waile the c impany were assem
bling the writer (then a very young man)
was standing by himself in a corner, when
Choate came in, with a siouchv gait a :d bis
heal down, looking as confused as a school
boy, and, catching a glimpse of the writer,
he rushed eagerly toward him and, grasping
his arm, said substantially: “You must
help me up to the committee,” who were
standing in the fca'l receiving t ie guests.
4V e had only advanced a few steps, how
ever, when Cnoate, being discovered, was
pulled hither and thither by hosts of hands,
and the writer was left again to commune
with himself, or with other-: like him and of
his own age who happened to be standing
near; not, however, before he rad ventured
inode.tly to remark to Cnoate how sur
prised ho was that a nun of his experience
and distinction should be at all desirous of
thus walking under cover, as it were. And
I have stated in a previous paper how he
always avoided as much as possible the
eyes of men, and how, when walking from
his office to his house, he preferred to walk
through lanes and the narrowest rather
than through the most crowded streets. He
was very peculiar in this respect.
I have it from authcritv which cannot be
questioned that Mr. Cushing once, at an
evening party in Newburyport, attempting
to make bimsalf agreeable, it is to be pre
sumed, said to a pretty, brigh.-eyed girl of
17 or 18 summers, and quite distinguished
for her beauty anti accomplishments in the
circle of her young admirers: “Pray, Miss
And she instantly replied, with a merry
twinkle and a smile, “Why, with L, of
course,” thm disc nod ting the distinguished
scholar and statesman, and getting the
laugh of the bystanders upon him.
Absent-Minded Senator Daniel.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, who is in his
way almost as absent-minded as Senator
Stewart of Nevada, narrowly escaped what
might have been a serious if not fatal acci
dent to-day. The senator had go.e down
into the basement of the Senate wing lo
take a look at the I oilers and huge fans that
furnish heat and air to the chamber above.
He propo-ed to return by way of elevator,
which on the basement floor has uo and or.
Not noticing this, Mr. Daniel walked into
the elevator shaft and searched about for
the bell button. In the meantime the ele
vator, ioided with a party of visitor.-, wes
descending slowly over tae senator’s head,
the conductor in blissful ignorance of the
fact that there was any object between him
aud the floor. 9he sc- .ator was still iudus
ouslv looking for the button, and swearing
a little because he couida't find it, when
fortunately an employe came along the
passage and, seeing the descending elevator,
warned the senator just in time to save him
from receiving its weight upon his head.
As the Virginia statesman scrambled out of
the shift into the corridor. no muttered
that this was the second time he had barely
escape! being killed in that way. and
added that lie blank senatorial elevator
would kill somebody yet.

JAMES MELVILL McGuTfOG
Died May 2, aged 4 months and 18 days.
Suffer little children to come unto me, for of
such is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed consolation Christ has given 1 1 be
reaved parents by his words. For of such
is the kingdom of heaven.
The children that are dead they are not lost.
They have gone to swell the heavenly host;
They beckon to us, from the realm, above.
And bid us welcome to share Jesus' love.
The flowers are sweeter in the dew of the
morning.
And so ’tis with children, his kingdom adorning:
He gathers them while the fragrance and
freshness of life
Still lingered around them, and freed them from
strife.
They have gone on before, from this transient
home;
Endeavor to join them, for the Lord lores his
own. Papa.
