OPENING OF THE CAMP.
THE FLAG RUM DP AND THE) OR
DERS READ TO THE MEN.
A Fretty Sight Presented by the Regi
ment on Parade—Hundreds of Spec
tators Witness the Ceremony—Capt.
Brooks the First Officer of the Day.
Lieut. KcHarrie Senior Officer of the
Guard.
Chickamauga, Ga., June 16.—T0-day
at noon Camp Chickamauga was formally
opened. The men made a pretty showing,
and the ceremony was beautiful. Lieut.
Satterlee of the United States army formed
the men and published the orders govern
ing them while they are encamped here.
Hundreds witnessed the opening of the
camp. After being formed in line facing
the flagstaff the officers stepped to the front
of their company commands, and the band
played “Yankee Doodle” and “Dixie.”
Everybody was thrilled with the maneuver
ing* of the men of the First regiment. It
never behaved nicer, and even the officers
are complimenting their men. Capt. Brooks
of the Cadets was the first offi
cer of the day last year in
Augusta, and he is the first officer of the
day here. Lieut. MoHarrie is senior officer
of the guard, and Lieut. Helmkeu is his
junior.
The men have explored the company
grounds thoroughly, and they are familiar
with their surroundings. They aro pleased.
It is work now, and they aro starting out
to put in a full week of duty.
chickamauoa’s preacher.
Mr. Toombs Dußose, grandson of Gen.
Tocmbs, is the Methodist minister here. He
is Chickamauga’s only preacher. The min
ister is a young man und an eloquent divine.
The soldiers heard him preach Sunday. He
advanced the idea that the body after death
does not rise naturally, but that it is a
spiritual resurrection. That there is no
natural recognition in heaven; everything
is spiritual. In proving this he said a man
at sea dies. His body is bound and cast
into the water. A thousand fishes eat the
body. They have offspring, and so and so
on. “Now," said he, "where in the name
of common sense are you going to find that
man’s body at the resurrection?” The
boys shook their heads and gave
it up, but when they got to camps
asked an old Piedmont negro about it. The
old man was happy to parade his Bible
learniug, and he expatiated at length upon
Jonah and the whale. Concluding he said:
"But as a solid financial fact, young bosses,
ub course if de fishes swallowed de man ub
course he’s in dey bellies.”
A party of soldiers sat around Capt.
Fields of the United States array last night
while be talked. He is a great talker, oud
whenever he gets interested he makes you
interested. The captain has traveled a
great deal and written a great deal, and he
is brimful of information.
THE INDIAN SITUATION.
He bad discussed the Indian situation
pretty thoroughly, and was going into the
peculiarity of the Indian, when Quarter
master General West of the state remarked
that Indians live to a riper old age than
other people.
" How so?” asked the oaptain.
“Why, two years ago, whan I was at the
Needles, out west, our train stopped where
a tiand of Indians were encamped, and we
found among the number a decrepit old
follow who they told us was 130 years
old. We expressed surprised at the re
markable old age. and they said, ‘Why,
that's nothing, there stands his grandpa,’
pointing to another old man in the camp.”
A ripple of laughter ran through the
crowd and Capt. Fields said very earnestly,
“Indians do live to be very old. I once re
member to have heard upon authority of
sume one I ,know that an Indian supposed
to be 1110 had been found. Although there
was no absolute certainitv About the age,
they knew he must have been very old be
cause his eyelids had performed so much
service that they refused to obey him, and
when he wished to look at anything he
was forced to lift the lids up with hi* fingers,
and let them drop again when he had
finished.”
ARMS OF WAR.
Speaking of arms of war last night,
Lieut. Satterlee of the United States army
■aid the main thing sought is simplicity.
Let the arms be simple and the success of
any army is more assured. •
For lack of these kind of arms the French
in one of their w ars were seriously disad
vantaged. Men, however well trained and
disciplined, they be, at some times are lia
ble to break up. and they could go to pieces
in no worse place than in the midst of
battle.
i It is singular, remarked Col. Mercer,
where men turn their guns in a battle.
Nearly in every battle the treetops are all
cut away. And who would shoot 60 wido
of the mark in an ordinary effort at a man?
Men ought to be familiar with their arms,
and their weapons should not be constructed
‘o that they cauuot be used dexterously at
all times.
THE LIME WATER.
The lima water iu Chiokamuuga spring
has operated rather against some of the
Savannah boys, but they have been told
Uiat it will fatten after the first few days,
anil when the opportunity offers they stand
like fat oxen pouring it down.
-Mem tiers of the advisory board and mem
bers of the governor’s staff will remaiu over
here until the sodiers are thoroughly into
c <mp life. They will then return to At
lanta aud accompany Gov. Northen out on
bia review.
The grounds are already beiDg visited by
hundreds of people from Georgia and Ten
nessee, and before the week is
very old Chickamauga will be
thronged with guests. The hotel here
a sDacious and as oomfortablo as it can be,
and people ooming here will remain the
creator Dart of the time. Bome go into
Chattanooga, and for the accommodation
ef those seven daily trains are on between
here and Chattanooga. Lookout Mountain,
only five miles aw >y, is dotted about with
•Plendid hotels, and tourists are already
arriving for the summer.
WORKING LIKE TROJANS.
Since Col. Mercer located the lines and
assigned each oompany to its street the boys
lave been working like Trojans. Capt.
Field remarked that he never saw such
hustlers. Everybody believes that Camp
Chickamauga will surpass anything the
Georgia milftia has seen. The efforts of
l ho-;e having in charge the arrangements of
the camp have been directed to make it a
success.
E verything is working as smoothly as it
13 possible for it to move until all the men
are in and the work proper of the encamp
ment begins. Z. D. R.

6LAVIN OUTBOX3B KILRAIN.
The Agreement Called for a Ten-Round
Match for $ 10,000.
Hoboken, N. J., June 16. —Slavin and
Kilraiu met to-night at the rooms of the
Granite club. The understanding was that
the men were to box ten rounds, Marquis
of Queensbury rules, for a SIO,OOO purse,
put up by the Granite Association, and
that of this sum tue winner was to get
$7,500 and the loser $11,500. Slavic won the
match in the ninth round.
THE FIRST ROUND.
The men entered the ring at 11:22 o'clock
and began hard hitting at onoe. The first
round ended in Kllrain's favor, although
his ribs received terrible hammering.
In the second round Slavin directed his
blows at Kilrain’s ribs directly under the
heart, and he lauded too many of them to
please Kilrain’s friends. Notwithstanding
this Ktlraln again had toe best of the round.
He nearly knocked Slavin over the ropes bv
a blow on the neok, and hammered Slavin'*
head and face unmercifully.
KILRAIN GIVES OUT.
In the third round Kilrain again pounded
Slavin to the ropes, but this seemed to ex
haust his strength. Slavin struck Kilrain
under the left ear and knocked him fiat.
He got up, rallied and clinched, but iu
the break away was again knocked
down. The gong saved him from
defeat in this round. He was in great
distress. His seconds braced him up aud be
managed to respond to the call of time, but
Slavin hit him as he pleased. Kilrain was
knocked down four times and he was bleed
ing in streams from a broken nose. Kil
rain’s only hope was in clinching taetics but
eaoh time he tried it he received terrible
punishment on his ribs.
A CLOSE CALL IN THE FIFTH.
In the fifth round Kilrain was again
knocked down and nearly knocked out, but
he rallied.
In the sixth round he was little more
than a ohopping block for Slavin. He got
in several blows, but they had no force.
In the sixth and seventh round only the
friendly gong saved Kilrain from defeat.
Iu the eighth round it was only a question
of endurance on Kilrain’s part. He was
helpless to defend himself or do mischief.
A KNOCK-OUT BLOW.
In the ninth round Kilrain started in in
pretty good shape and managed to get in a
couple of blows on Hlavln’s head, but they
had no force. Slavic, on the other hand,
was hitting as powerfully as ever. Finally
Slavin hit Kilraiu a terrible left-hander on
the neck and Kilraiu went down as if shot.
Still game, he slowly and painfully rose,
reeled, and, as the gong sounded, had to be
carried to his corner, and the referee, Jere
Dunn, gave the fight to Slavin, who forth
with stepped ovor to his dazed opponent's
corner and shook hands with him. The
audienoe hissed the referee’s decision, but
that did not affect Dunn in the least. He
felt sure that Kilrain was beateD, and so
ruled in spite of all protests.
LOOKS BAD FOB KINO.
One of the Witnesses for the Defense
Goes Against Him.
Memphis, Tknn., June 16.—The entire
time of the criminal court to-day was oc
cupied in bearing the testimony of
the witnesses introduced by the defense
In the trial of H. Clay King. E. L. Moore,
who had a cigar with King a few
minutes before he shot Lawyer Pos
ton, testified to seeing King stop
Poston and say something about “chai-ges
in regard to my wife.” The reply from
Poston was: “I have made no statement iu
regard to you or your wife to retract.”
King then applied a vile epithet to Poston,
and, saying‘‘Take that,” fired.
Recorder of Deeds W. T. Derrick of Ma
rianna, Ark., testified that King had acted
very strangely at times during his residence
in Arkansas, and that ho thought him crazy.
“Mrs. Pillow,” he oontiuued, “often had t >
cut up his food and feed him iiko a child.”
Thomas Foster and Porter Mills, of La-
Grange, Ark., testified to what they con
sidered the unsoundness of mind in King.
Alfred David (oolored), a servant on
King’s Arkansas plantation, testified to
strange actions at various times on the part
of Col. King.

SAVANNAH, GA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1891.
OHIO’S HOT CAMPAIGN.
M’KINLEY AND CAMPBELL SURE
TO HEAD THE TIOKS.TB.
The Republloan State Convention
Meets at Columbus—lte Proceedings
Expeoted to be in the Nature of a
Love Feast- A Reception to McKinley
by the Lincoln League.
Columbus, 0., June 16.— The most crit
ical campaign In the history of Ohio politics
opened to-day, when the gavel fell on one of
the largest and most enthusiastic republi
can state conventions the Buckeye com
monwealth has ever known. The nomina
tion of ex-Congrsssman McKinley to the
office of governor has been a foregone con
clusion for some weeks, and made the con
vention whioh opened with so much en
thusiasm and good feeling to-day rather a
love feast than one of those oontentious
political gatherings whioh engsnder the
strife and 111 will so fatal to party success.
THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER.
The renomination by the democrats of
Gov. James E. Campbell for another term Is
also predicted safely warranted by the signs
In the political sky, and the chief contest for
the next four months will be between
Messrs. McKinley and Campbell, the candi
dates for the other state offices being almost
lost from sight in the great interest whioh
oenters in the leaders.
THE PROGRAMME.
It was arranged that the convention
should occupy two days. This forenoon was
to be devoted to a meeting of the various
congressional delegations and the selection
of anew state central committee and com
mittees on credentials, resolutions and or
ganization. At 2 o'clock p. in. the conven
tion was to meet, but it was understood in
advance that little would be done beyond
the selection of a temporary chairman, Hon.
Kobert M. Nevin, of Dayton. After
that tho understanding was that
the convention should adjourn until
10 a. m. to-morrow, when the permanent
organization would be completed and nomi
nations made. The chief event of this even
ing was to be a reception to Maj. McKinley
by the Lincoln League. Upon the perma
nent chairmanship there was a good deal of
jealousy on the part of the Foraker and
Hbermau contingents, and as a compromise
Gen. Asa B. Bushnell of Hpritigfted was se
lected, in order to preserve neutrality.
CALLED TO ORDER.
It was after 2 o’clock before the delegates
began to gather in the opera house, and it
was 2:30 o'clock before the state central
committeemen marched iu and took their
places on the platform. At ex
actly 2:45 o’clock L. W. King,
chairman of the state central committee,
called the convention to order and Intro-,
duced Temporary Chairman Nevin. The
enthusiasm of the convention found full
vent In ratification of the partisan thrusts
of Chairman Nevin. aud in approv
ing his eulogy of the Republi
can leaders. Near the conclusion
of hit address be said: “At the right
hand of President stands a man who for
keen intellect, broad statemanship and de
votion to Amerioan interests and American
progress is the peer of any man who has
ever lived and who lives to-day, or ever
will live, James G. Blaine.”
burst of enthusiasm.
The name of James G. Blaine was never
heard by the convention. Little by little as
the peroration reached its hight the audi
euce caught the infection, and from
gentle hand clapping the ap
plause developed into one mighty
roar that shook the vast building from tbe
gallery to the green room. It was history
repeating itself, the sceues of tbe national
(Convention of 1888 re-enacted. Strong
men shonted themselves hoarse and
women waved their fans in approval
of the sentiment, while a thousand
voices simultaneously and over
and over again repeated in musical ohorus
the name of “Blaine, Blaine, Blaine.” After
a few words of oaution of the necessity of
n.minaling a strong state ticket through
out, the temporary chairman announoed
the convention ready for business.
The congressional delegates of twenty-one
districts then reported the members of the
new state oentral committee selected dur
ing the forenoon. Immediately after the
appointment of this committee the conven
tion adjourned until 9 o’clock to-morrow
morning.
THE RECEPTIONS AT NIGHT.
The evening was devoted to receptions
and musio and speech-makiDg. The Lin
coln Club tendered a reception to Maj. Mc-
Kinley, which was attended by an immense
crowd, including leading republicans of the
state. Senator Sherman was introduced
early in the evening and made
a brief speech, devoted principally
to anecdotes and a review by
contrast of the records of the Republican
aud Democratic parties during the war. In
the midst of his speech the audience oaught
sight of Maj. MoKinley, who arrived some
what late, aod the senator at once insisted
that the “next governor" should address
the audience.
m’kinlky’s speech.
Maj. McKinley needod no introduction
and waited for none, and in his speech be
pitched rignt into the middle of things, with
out any introductory remarks. Ha began
with a eulogy of the the Republican party,
particularly of the republicans in the last
congress, and then turned his attention to
the next congress. He said:
Now. the democrats say they are going to re
peal the tariff Dl)' -ith their big majority in the
next House. If waey repeal the new tariff law
they hare got to put a duty of 1114 cents per
pound on sugar. [Applause.]
Will they do that’ [A voice, "No. no.”]
Will they repeal the reciprocity provision of
the new law. ]No, no.] Would they repeal
this law under the provisions of which we
have already made a valuable treaty with
Brazil, which gives to our agricultural
people all over the country extraor
dinary advantages in Introducing the prod
uct of their own farms in that
great country.and under which wejare advised
a treaty has already been made with Spain and
Cuba? [A voice, “No, no.”] Nobody knows
what will lie In the democratic tariff bill.
[Laughter.] Before they get through it will be
a regular crazy quilt. They don’t dare to put
coal and iron ore on the free list. The south
will say to these northern men, "Don’t do that,
whatever else you do.’ [laughter.]
THE BLOODT SHIRT.
The bill will be made by,the southern confeder
acy, the late southern confederacy, and it will
be an assault upon every northern induatry. and
it will take very great care of every southern
Industry. (Laughter and applause. ] They will
never pass a tariff bill. They may try
it, but you will have the present bill
oo your statute books when boys of
11 years of age shall be 21 and ready to vote.
[Prolonged applause. ] They dare not touch one
line of it. for every line of it is American. You
have not heard a word about McKirley prices
siuce the last election. [Laughter and applause. [
All I ask of the people of Ohio is that every
man write on his ballot what he thinks, and if
he will do that there will be no end to the repub
lican majority iu Ohio. [Prolonged applause
and cheers.]
FORAKKR PUTS IN A WORD.
At the conclusion of Maj. McKinley’s
speech ex-Gov. Foraker was introduced and
spoke briefly but enthusiastically of the
coming republican success in Ohio.
To a casual observer to-day the opening
scenes of the oouventlon presented more the
appearance of a Blaine-Fo: aker ratification
meeting than an ordinary state convention.
It is no secret that ex-Gov. Foraker aspire*
to succeed John Sherman in the United
States Senate, and the young men
who are his followers dominated
the convention. In a like degree the young
republicans appeared to he devoted to
James G. Blaine; yet the ovation which
greeted the mention of the services of the dis
tinguished Secretary of State was
by no means confined to the younger
element. Old men to-day forgot their age
sad their dignity as they joined In the wild
acclaim provoked by the name of Secretary
Blaine and waved their hats joyously while
shouting over and over again the name of
the popular leader. But President Harri
son and Senator Sherman are still dear to
to the heart of the average “Ohio man,”
os| the uproarious applause which
greeted the mention of their names amply
testified. Particularly was this true of
Seuator Sherman, who, however muoh
Secretary Blaine might have led President
Harrison in popular approval, shared
almost equally with Gov. Foraker the
plaudits of the Ohio republicans.
AT WORK ON ’/HE PLATFORM.
The committee on resolutions was in ses
sion until late to-night drafting a platform
for to-morrow’s convention, but no mate
rial progress was made. There were two
subjects of dispute, the money question and
tariff question, and there will prob
ably be a compromise on both. Enthusiastic
McKinley men were in favor of a resolu
tion Indorsing in empbatio terms the
“McKinley law,” but others thought a
safer plan was to merely indorse the prin
ciple of protection to American labor.
This and and other disputed subjects were
finally referred to a subcommittee of five,
which will report on them ins the committee
to-morrow morning. The resolutions so far
os agreed upon, and upon which there was
no dispute, arraign and denounce the pres
ent democratic state administration and the
recent democratic) legislature.

Some of the horsei on tho surface railroads
gave out early, notwithstanding several
relay depots estanlisbed periodically along
the route. The intense heat is tempered
with a slight breeze, but the sudden aud un
usual heat causes a good deal of suffering.
SWELTERING AT NOON.
The meroury at noon here to-day reached

sachusetts report a hot day. New Bedford
chronicles 96® and Woroester 92°.
From the northern portions of New Eng
land a continuance of the warm wave is
reported, with generally higher tempera

STRUCK BY A CLOUDBURST.
Havoc Wrought In a Town In Ten
nessee But no Lives Lost.
Cincinnati, 0., June 16.—A Knoxville,
Tenn., special says: “At Neumanville,
Greene county, Saturday, a cloud hurst did
great damage. The place is remote from
tbe railroad and telegraph but information
comes to-day of the calamity. The fell of
water was something terrlflo, and a small
creek became a raging river, 100 yards
wide. The storehouse, residence and out
buildings of T. N. King were swept away,
the flood ooming so quickly lie did not have
time to even close his store doors.
THE POSTOFFICE WRECKED.
“The postoffioe was kept in his store, and
everything was lost. An iron Bafe weigh
ing 1,600 pounds was carried one-fourth of
a mile by the force of the water. A number
of other houses were carried away and
all the ci ope along the creek bottom lands
were destroyed. The water came down so
fast that the people barely had time to flee
to the ridge, and if this bad not been near
there would have been serious loss of life.
Considerable nook was drowned, but no
human life was lost, so far as reported.
The damage to property will amount to u
large sum.” ’
A VILLAGE IN ASHES.
The Inhabitants Fleeing to tbe Woods
in a Wild Panic.
Ottawa, Ont., June 16.— The village of
Cos-iellmau, about thirty miles from Ottawa,
on the line of the Canada-Atlantio railway,
is reported to have been entirely oonsumed
by fire. Passengers by a Canada-Atlantic
train from Montreal say the village, when
they passed through it last night, was a
mass of fire. Immense piles of lumber,
measuring millions of feet, and huge stacks
of tan bark containing thousands of oords,
and nearly every house and store in the
village was on fire. Men, women
and children were rushing toward
the woods in a most frantic
manner with' what little of thpir house
hold effects they could rescue from their
dwellings. There was no possibility of
ascertaining whether there had been loss
of life, but the destruction of property mutt
have been enormous. Tbe village 1b the
second largest on the] Canada-Atlantie line
between Ottawa and Colean. The popula
tion is said to be somewhere in tbe vicinity
of 1,000.

Most of the Sohool Fund Money Used
for Private Purposes.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 16.—The re
port of the expert acocuntants showing
what ex-Treaaurer Bardsley did with the
*440,000 sohool fund money was laid before
the councils investigating committee to-day.
The bulk of the money went to settle Mr.
Bardtley's accounts with the state trea-urer,
but a large portion went to various banks
to to take np obligations held against Mr.
Bardsley personal!y,arid not connected with
his publio offices. Three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars was used to par

HOWLING AT THE FRINGE
NO ABATEMENT IN THE BITTER
NUBS OF THE ATTACKS.
Welshmen Hiae When a Band Plays
“God Bless the Prince of Wales”—The
Heir Apparent Denounced at Seven
Religious Meetlugs -A Kick Against
the Royal Prerogatives.
London, June 16.—The popular crusade
against the Prince of Wales shows no signs
of abating iu strength of bitterness. After a
lecture delivered last night at Uernavon,
Wales, by Henry M. Stanley, the band
played “God bless the Prince of Wales.”
The Welshmen, however, no sooner heard
the strains of the familiar air than they
raised a storm of hisses, whioh almost
drowned the noise of the band.
At seven religious meetings held in va
rious parti of the oountry yesterday the
Prince of Wales was roundly denounced for
the share he took In the baccarat scandal.
At the Methodist coufereuoe now being
held at Leeds, the visit to Tranby Croft
was classed as a “gamblers’ orgie.”
In a letter published to-day la the Fall
Hall Uaxett* the writer asks why a captain
in the household regiment who is wanted by
the polloe in connection with the Cleveland
street scandal, and who is now residing in
Tuuis, should have been allowed to resign
when Bir Wliliam Gordon Cummlng was dis
missed from the army for his share In the
Tranby Croft scandal.
ROYAL PREROGATIVES.
As an evidence of the attitude of the
pross and public on the question of the
royal prerogatives a letter which is pub
lished in to-day’s Issue of the Standard,
which is a sturdy conservative organ, may
be cited. The writer of this letter calls at
tention to tho fact that during the course of
the royal pionic at Virginia Water on

LONDON’S LAUNDRESSES.
Three Hundred Go on a Strike and
Wreck Several Laundries.
London, June 16. —Three hundred laun
dresses of N -irtli London held a meeting to
day, attended with the usual incidents of
speeoh-making, resolution!, wrangling,
eto., and started a strike for eight hours
daily labor and 42 pence per
diem. These demands are con
sidered excessive by the employers of
the laundresses aud have bean refused. The
strikers followed the usual method of in
timidating "black legs,” smashing windows
where such were employed, and, invading es
tablishments, dragged women from work,
upset or emptied wash tubs, overturned
ironing tables, kicked over clothes horses,
and played havoc generally,
THE POLIO* POWERLESS.
The police were utterly powerless to pre
vent the demonstration. The striking
laundresses evidently had the entire sym
pathy of the crowds who watched the
wrecking of the laundries, and enoouraged
the women by cheering them and otherwise
expressing their approbation, and hooted
and jeered as the “blaoklegs” were hustled
unceremoniously into the streets. The
laundresses’ strike Is spreading to suoh an
extent that dean linen will soon be a de
cided luxury in North London.

Hundreds or People Flocking to the
Troy Hill Samaritan.
Pittsburg, June 16. —For the past
twenty-four hours the union station has
appeared more like a hospital than a rail
road depot. All day yestorday aud to-day
it was filled with a miscellaneous variety of
incurable people who had been taking the
rellgio-medical treatment of Father Mol
linger’s establishment on Troy Hill. A
great majority of them were sadly disap
pointed. They oame here firmly believing
that the noted priest possessed supernatural
healing powers, though be never made such
claims himself. For the most part they were
hopeless invalids, whoso cases bad been given
up by other physicians.
MOST OF THEM POOR.
A majority of them were very poor peo
ple, who hail spent their last money to
make the trip to the Troy Hill Good Sa
maritan. The condition of most of these
returning patients was as miserable as could
be depicted. Some were carried to the
trains on stretohers, while others oauie to
the depot on crutches and wheeled chairs.
Father Molllnger was a very busy man yes
terday. About I.OOP patients were escorted
Into his presence before their departure for
his final blessing. He will not oouple re
ligion with the feature of bis treatment
until Wednesday. While a great majority
of his patients have been hut little bene
fited, others report what seem like almost
miraculous cares.
