Burgess of the Alii tnee Monthly and Harry Brown of the Southern Allianoe Farmer to-day reached be war footing, but, all report* to the oon rary notwithstanding, a personal encounter ■ the most improbable thing in the world. Editor Harry out back at Burges* pretty martly this morning. Among other thing* Editor Brown said: I hereby state that Burgess made some false iate.nent* concerning what 1 had said about a lertain matter, and I took Col. L. F. Livingston rod T. L. Gantt os witnesses with me, and went oto Burgess’ ottlce and denounced him as a liar o his face. He did not resent it, out, like the niserable cur which he is, sneaked into the Uliauce the following night when I was at tome with a sick wife, and tried so prefer tharges against me. I do not doubt that he can find men of his ram kind who would be itia.l to baek him in his lharges, but he and they are beneath my 'urther notice, and I dismiss them. EDITOR BURGESS REPLIES. To this Editor Burges* immediately re plied, pleading justification for his original sharge that Editor Brown had lied, and •Serine to produce the evidence; but here is ois card: In answer to the abusive card of H. C. Brown D to day’s Constitution 1 haTeonly this to say: The public is not interested in abusive epithets tom Mr. Brown or myself The question at ■sue is whether Mr. Brown lied or not. I have Ihe evidence of a number of gentlemen cf char icter to establish the fact that Mr. Brown did lot ODly He, but swore to it. This evidence ‘mplicate* Mr. Livingston and other parties and mil not be published for the present, but I will lay 1 hare an abundance of evidence, sworn to, letablisbing the charge against Mr. Brown ghich I will take pleasure in exhibiting to any ine who will call at my office, J*> West Hunter greet. As to Mr. Brown denouncing me as a liar, everybody knows this is another of Us infamous lies, but I will say :h, should he denounce me as such I rould have to submit to it. He is a r-ne-armed man. In conclusion. 1 desire to say ihst before this matter is over I will show up gore infamous corruption in Mr. Brown and nis crowd to the square inch than was ever practiced by any clique in this state. Ido not lismiss the matter, but am "in it" till the peo ple are fully acquainted with the ways that are lark of those wno have professed such an un tying devotion to the farmers of this state. W. H.

A Verdict Which Is Ant to Cost the Government $30,000,000. Philadelphia, June 19. —The jury in tbe suit of Meyer & Dickinson vs. the gov ernment, to recover the excess of duties levied on materials used as hat trimmings, this morning returned a verdiot for $632 40 for the plaintiffs. Tbe government will ap peal from the verdict to the supreme oourt. By the verdict of the jury in this case the government is made liable for from $20,000,- UOO to to $30,000,000 that it has collected in duties from importers of millinery mate rials in various parte of the oountry. The sait of Meyer & Dickinson was a test suit, and was intended to test the right of the government to collect duties on the goods iu dispute. Other! pending suits will be affected by tbe verdict, and that is where the large amount and great interest taken by tbe Importers comes in. The importers claim tbe goods in question to be hat trim mings, and to be dutiable at 20 per cent, ad valorem under thejelause of the act of March 3, 1883, which provides for hats, etc., materials, bra ds, plaids, laces, trimmings, willow shells and squares used for making ornamental hats, bonnets and goods com posed of straw, chip grass, palm leaf, wil low, hair, wha etnne or any other sub stance or material not specially enumerated or provided for. The govern ment claims that they are dutiable at 50 per cent, ad valorem, under the clause of ail good 9, wares and manufactures of which silk is the component material of chief value. The question arose b reason of the omission on March 3,1883, of the word “veg etable" from the hat material clause in the former act, and was first brought before the court in this jurisdiction on Aoril 6, 1886, in the case of vs. Hartranft, in which cotton back ribbons were the arti cles before the court. It was decided by Judge McKinnon that If the jury believed that the chief use to which ribbons were put was for trimming hats, bonnets and hoods, then it was subject to 20 pfir cent duty. The jury found in favor of the plaintiff and Judge McKenuau’s ruling was affirmed by the supreme court, aud under this decision $6,000,000 were re funded to the plaintiffs. Afterward in the New York jurisdiction a similar question was decided in the case of Edelhoff vs. col lector, In which tbe articles imported were used as hat bands, aud iu that caso also the decision was in favor of the importer, as its chief use was for trimming hats, and the decision was affirmed by tbe supreme court. KING’S DEFENSE. Oneofßla Witnesses to be Impeached. More Testimony. Memphis, Tenn.. June 19.—The defense in the King trial to-day introduced two more witnesses iu support of the insanity plea and closed their caso. The testimony brought out in rebuttal by the state stands in a fair way to impeach at least one of the defense’s witnesses who testified early in the week. Capt. E. R. Hart, a business man of this city, the first witness, testified to the strange conduct of Col. King two years ago. He thought him insane enongb to take his business away from him. Hon. Casey Young spoke of a disconnected conversation held at one time with Col. King, which would indicate an unbalanced mind. He could not say that he was insane. KING’S DIGEST. King’* “Digest of the Laws of Tennessee,” the witness thought, came down to 1880. There was some discussion here as to the relevaucy of tbe question, but it was ad mitted. Mrs. Gov. Kirg of Kentucky, a sister of Col. King, related numerous instances iu which she believed the defondant insane. Bhe had told hit daughter that her father was insane. M turice Sheridan, one of the witnesses for tbe defense, who testified that the de ceased raised bis hand m a threatening manner when approached by Col. King at the time of the shooting, was the first witness examined iu rebuttal by Gen. Peters. He was unable, under fire of the cross-examination, to say that he had seen the band raised, but testified that Mr. Poston parsed him making toward Col. King, and that he saw Col. King and Mr. Poston have a slight altercation. A number of witnesses from Jacksjn, Tenn., were introduced, whose testimony showed that the character and reputation for truth of E. L. Moore, who testified to hearing the alte cation between Mr. Poston and Col. King, were bad. The oourt adjourned. BJBEP3HFAD ASE AOF SLUSH. Borger Pilots Three Short Horses to Victory. Sheepshead Bay, N. Y., June 19.—The track ws in o sea of slush and mud so that the card, which was originally.veryjhcavy, was greatly reduced by scratching.

From the New York World. San Antonio, Tex., June 17.—J. C. Carr, an old Texan, for two terms sergeant-at arms of the House of Representatives and at present interested in the presentation of Indian depredation claims a: Washington, has returned from the Rio Grande section aud reports a singular discovery in the center of Edwards county. It is known as the “Devil’s Sink-Hole ” It is a circular opening six feet acros* and descending per pendicularly. Recently it was partially explored. A man was let down by a rope 150 feet, and at that point he fouud a ledge from which ran a passageway seven feet high and wide enough for three men abreast, and running at a steep decline. He followed it 300 feet, and came to an immense lake of water, ice cold. He had no means of determining its extent, but a stone hurled with all his fores splashed in the water fully seventy yards away. The bank of the lake was covered with pieces of rock looking as though they had been blasted. Some were brought to the surface, and they assayed about thirty ounces of silver to the ton. All of that region is rich in silver indications, and it is supposed that the mysterious cavern is an abandoned Spanish mine and has other exits and entrances. It will be thoroughly ex plored by competent prospectors. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1891. TRADE A TRIFLE QUIET. MERCHANTS WAITING FOR IM PROVEMENT BSPORE BUYING. The Hot Weather Also Gave Business an Air of Mid-summer Dullness In Many Sections—Money In Fair Sup ply for Legitimate Needs—Collec tions Good. New York, June 19.—The business fail ures occurring throughout the oountry dur ing the past week number for the United States 224, and for Canada 29, a total of 253, against 244 last week.Qß. G. Dun & Cos. ’* weekly review of trade says: “While the crop report* continue remarkably favora ble, the volume of business at present trans acted is not as large as It has been in other years at this time. This is in part be cause exceptionally hot weather at many points had induced something like mid summer dullness, but a more important cause undoubtedly is that trade in many branches has been waiting for certainty in improvement and definite orders before undertaking new risks. There is also some hesitation owing to recent failures, partic ularly in Philadelphia. CREDIT CAUTIOUS. •‘Credits have been more cautiously given in the woolen and boot and shoe trades, and this has lessened the volume of transactions. Hence it is encouraging to find that there is actual improvement in the demand for consumption in several of the more im portant trades, and that manufacturers already begin to feel the effects. Crop pros pects have improved during the past week, particularly in the southern and|nnrthweetern regions, where there has been lack of rain, and there is now scarcely a single commercial center from which the crop reports are not highly favorable. Business is improved at Louisville, decidedly at Montgomery and slightly at New Orleans. Trade is small at Memphis, but the crop prospects are good, dull at Nashville, better than usual for the season at Atlanta and much better than last year at Jacksonville. COLLECTIONS FAIRLY GOOD. “Reports from all quarters indicate little complaint as to collections. Regarding money they show almost everywhere an ample supply for legitimate and safe busi ness, but it is frequently mentioned that there is no supply for speculation, and at St. Louis the market is stiffer at 7 and 8 per cent., at Kansas City at Bto 10, and Detroit strong at 7, rather stringent at Cleveland, tight at Little Rock and Atlanta, close at Nashville, and in good demand .with firm rates at New Orleans. From all other points the reports indicate comparative ease. It is another hopeful indications that the demand for man ufactured iron and streel improves. For structural iron there is a rush of orders because of the collapse of the building strikes, and makers of sheet irou are some what pushed, though bar iron is only fairly active, but plates are in good demand. “The wool market at New York shows improvement and a large demand by man ufacturers.” BATTLES WITH THE BAT.

A Committee of Strikers to Try to In- duce Them to Leave. Pittsburg, Pa., June 19.—The miners of the Wheeling district of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad bad a mass meeting to-day and appointed a committee of seven to in terview the negroes being imported into the Union Valley region to take their places. Rumors of a riot brought Sheriff Lockhart and five Washington county deputies to the scene, but all was quiet. The oommittee is to report Monday, when more stringent measures will proba bly be taken to rid the region ot the imported negro miners. This is the first wholesale importation attempted in the railroad min iug districts. AS FROM THB DEAD. Romantic Return and Rejection of a Husband After 31 Y'ears. From the New York World. Shamokin, Pa., June 15.—Mr*. William Madden opened her door lost evening in response to a summons and was greeted by a tall man, evidently about 70 years old. “Does Mrs. William Cameron lire heref” be asked. “No,” was the reply. Looking keenly iuto her face the stranger said: “Mary, don’t you know me? lam Charles, your husband, and humbly ask forgive ness. ” The woman started and, closing the door in the man’s face, sank swooning to the floor. Charles Cameron, a cousin of tbe United States senator, lived in Pottsville, Pa., in 1848. and was a well-known building con tractor. In that year he married Miss Mary Markle, a handsome young brunetto. For a few years the two lived happily together, when Cameron began to drink heavily and ill-treat his wife. In the spring of 1860 he received a contract in Richmond. Va., and collecting all the money he could lay hands upon he left his wife and children and started for the south. Tbe two ensuing month* he sent $35 and three letters home. Then all communication ceased, and the family waited long and anxiously for a message. A year later it was reported that while gambling he had been stabbed aud killed. Mrs. Cameron about seven years afterwards married a young railroad man named William Madden, with whom she lived three years, when he was killed on the railroad near Shamokin, to which place Mrs. Madden moved her family and where she has resided ever since. Charles Cameron all this time had been a wanderer in the south. While the war lasted he could not get through the con federate lines. Thinking his wife would be happier without him he still remained away after the war was over, but at last the love of his earlier years overpowered him, and he sought his wife. When she closed tbe door in his face he sought the home of a married eon in this place, and upon being recognized was harbored for the night. His wife declares *he will never live with him again. WOMEN WHO BET ON THE RACE. A Galaxy of Beauty rnd Bettors at Sbeepshead’s Decent Suburban. From the Sew York Press. The instinct in woman which loves gam bling—described by Pope many years ago —was never more apparent than at the re cent Suburban. A western man, who rates the attractive ness of a place by tbe number of women be finds in it, must have thought he had reached Elysium when be looked abont him at the multitude of tbe sex at the Sheeps head course. Everybody knows there are women aDd women. Both were there, and every other kind you ever heard of. There were plain women and pretty women, thin ones and stout ones; there were blonde* and brunettee, and that still more captivating type that partakes of both and yet ia neither; there were quietly dressed, well-bred women, and others again before whose splendor both Solomon and the Queen of Sheba would have felt abashed. There were women whom you would like your sister, your cousin or your sweetheart to be like, and others the like of which you wish to see as little of possible, even at the race track. THE WOMEN KNEW THEIR MIND. A large proportion of this multitudinous sea of femininity bet on the Suburban. The few messenger boys were quite inadequate to fill the orders given them by these pretty sportswomen, and many men were drafted into service. Women know pretty well what they want, and they didn’t show much hesitation yesterday in making their ohoice. You could tell tbe novices among them very easily, they were so uncertain. They would back a horse because they liked the jookey’s colors, or becausa they once had a sweetheart that drove a horse the same color as ono of the racers, or because they had closed their eyes and poked a bat pin iu the name of anotner on the card. But the woman who really and truiy loves racing aDd racers is just as svstematio as a man. She has carefully studied her programme, she has consulted her Official Turf Guide and she has prepared her schedule os methodically as tbe menu for her dinner If she be a good housewife. Every seat on the grand stand was oc cupied, and in two out of each three sat some member of the fair sex. In a box surrounded by an admiring coterie was lovely Lillian Russel),attired in the daintiest of soft China silks. The most exquisite of hats, fresh from Paris, crowned her beautiful golden hair, and in her eyes of turquois blue gleamed the light of suc cessful speculation, for the “airy, fairy Lillian” had won. She always does. She looked very charming and very, very pretty as she thrust her gold jewel-tipped pencil between her smiling lips, aud puck ered her smooth white brow in a thought ful effort to decide between the relative merits of His Highness and Victory. NOTABLE WOMEN PRESENT. In another box °at handsome, stately Mrs. Daniel Butterfield, whose husband, Gen. Butterfield, is one of the stewards of the meeting. She looked thoroughly grand dame, as she always does. With her was her handsome, soldierly husband. In tbe most stunning of white crepe gowns, made with a train and a V -shaped corsage, was an uncommonly pretty little woman escorted by A. H. Hummel. She bad dark brown hair and big brown eyes and a beautiful complexion. She made her bets graoefully, won with delight, lost with equanimity, and showed true sporting blood. She was Miss Anita Allen of San Fran cisco. Mrs. J. Alexander Striker, hand somely gowned in black, bet with skill and judgment. Mrs. Sydney Rosenfeld, In a be coming and stylish gown of gray, oooupied a box with Mrs. Hopper. Mrs. Rosenfeld was content to admire the horses and watch them run. Mrs. DeWolf Hopper, as enthusiasts a “sport” as her husband, was arrayed in the most modish of gowns of brown China silk flecked with white and trimmed with white lace. Pretty Mrs. Hopper waxed warm in enthusiasm over each race. She greeted her favorite with radiant smiles and ap plause. She baoked them lavishly. Mrs. John A Cockerill, looking very handsome and none the worse for her recent long suffering from her accident, shared her box with a remarkably pretty girl and a number of gentlemen. Mrs. Cockerill wore a lovely outfit of blue, and she made her bets with spirit and success. All in soft gray, from hat to shoes, was pretty Julie Christin, who is just book in town from a series of vocal triumphs in the west, and not far from her was handsome, statuesque Mrs. Frederick 3. Goodwin, who might sit for the pictures of the beautiful Duchess of Leinster, so much do they resemble each other. a southern belle who bet. A handsome girl, who attracted much attention as well as admiration, was Miss Jane Inman, elegantly gowned in blue China silk. She bet, of course—did you ever know a southern girl that didu’t? And Miss Inman made hers with an airy nonchalance fiat proved either unbounded wealth or perfect judgment, or both. A pretty little woman in a dainty frock of black lace and a stunning hat of yellow sat beeide her good-looking husband and followed in his wako. She was Mrs. Harry Sammis. Many actresses were present, and a few who draw S3O a week were seen to bet SSO on the result of the Suburban. Loantaka’* victory was not a popular one among tbe women, and one pretty girl who aotually won on five other races refused to be oomforted because she was "out” on the great race of the year. WHAT MEN LOST. A fair estimate of the losings of what Is popularly known as “the talent,” composed, of course, mainly of members of the male Krsuasion, would be $200,000. If the ring and not taken fright and cut the odds on Teeny and Tea Tray as it did the losses would have been nearly doubled. Mr. MeCoun, the owner of the winner, won about $20,000 on his horse, exclusive of the stake money. His winnings were largely from the winter books, however, in which he played from time to time at odds from 80 to 1 to 50 to 1. John Daly had SI,OOO "split up” on Loan taka. Mr. Cassidy, a westerner, and an exceedingly shrewd judge of horses, was also a big winner on tbe victor. “Snapper” Garrison lost $2,000 on Tea Tray, but his old friend Eddie Lewis saved himself by playing Cassius for third place. Walcott & Camooell more than balanced acoounts. Mike Dwyer lost $5,000 on Tenny, but hit the ring on Longstreet and Atlantic for nearly double that sum. NORT-d CAROLINA GOLD. Flenty of It, but It is Extremely Bard to Mine. From the New York Telegram. “One of the paper* published a page story about the great find of gold in Western North Carolina,” said John H. Sweeney of Waynesville, N. G., at the New York hotel, “and while it is perfectly true that there is plenty of gold in the Blue Ridge mountains, it is also true that it is noxt to impossible to get at it where there is enough water—and let me say that this is in very few places—to wash the placer. There is so much clay among tbe gold that it forms what miners call ‘robbers,’ and. gathering size as it eomes down the sluioe, it takes up the gold. In this kind of mining you have only to continue to use mercury,' and in time you can spend Vanderbilt’s fortune without re ceiving any returns. In the quariz mining the gold Is surrounded with talc, and even after roasting it is impossible to get the gold to amalgamate. "Taken altogether, I don’t think you can get up any gold fever among cur people. You know it is oue thing to w a -h gold with slave lpoor at a cost of about $6 a month and quite a other to do tbe same work as $1.50 ? day :l Whlle maDy those gold mines have baeu sources of considerable incomes to their\pwners before the war. no one will aver be Sjpiliionaire by tfcair product*” | CAN TALK WITH MONKEYS. A Man Who 1b Believed to Have Mas tered Simian Lingo. From the San Francisco Examiner. A mysterious individual haunts Wood ward’s Gardens to whom is attributed the gift of conversing with monkeys in their own language. He is a little old man who has seen about three score years and ten, butas he is al ways alone and speaks to no one very little is known about him. For nearly a year past the old gentleman has daily vis ited that former popular resort, deposits the entrance fee anil as quickly as his fee ble strength will allow aud with eagerness depicted on seamed and weather-beaten countenance, proceeds at once to the mon key cage. The monkeys recognize him and set up a chattering and howling that would grate on a sensitive person’s nerves, but the old man does not mind it a bit. He enjoys it and beams on the quadrumana that make every effort to reach him through the irou bars, with an expression that would lead one to think his soul was wrapped up in them. Finally the noise subsides and the old man gazes into a dozeu comical expectant faces pressed against the bars, with 24 pair* of bright eyes looking at him, and utters a few guttural sounds that astonish and please the monkeys. He perfectly imitates the sounds of most of them, and all arrange themselves in a semicircle and with great seriousness listen to all that he has to say. Sometimes his tone is serious, when the monkeys put on a very abject expression and look as sorrowful as a monkey can. Then again when the tones are different, the monkeys will dance about with every evidenoe of delight aud all begin to jabber at once, until tbe old man points his finger at one of the largest. All remain silent w hile he seemingly carries on a conveisa tlon with ono of tbe older ones, imitating all tbe grimaces and actions of a monkey as well as any human being could. Sometimes the conversation lasts an hour or more, when the little man bids his friends adieu until the morrow. It is said by some that tbe little man was once a sea captain, whose crew were mur dered by tbe .atives ou the coast of Brazil, and he made bis escape to the forests of tbe interior with no companions but the mon keys for many months. It is supposed that he obtained some knowledge of their method of communication during the months of his enforced residence in the wilderness that enables him to engage the attentihn of the monkeys at Woodward’s Gardens. When accosted the old man will not reply and his mysterious behavior is a source of much oomment. SOCIETY’S LATEST FAD. The Fiancee Now Takes Pains to Ma lign Her Choice. From the St. Louis Otobe Democrat. “The latest fad, as well as I can make out,” said a Washington woman of society, “is for girls who are engaged to be married to speak slightingly and in an uncompli mentary fashion of the young genth man of their choice. A young woman of my ac quaintance, who has recently plighted her troth, called upon me yesterday, and I took advantage of the opportunity to con gratulate her. 1 could do so quite truthfully, because the young man in the case was well known to me as possess ing every desirable quality—good looks, good temper, good reputation, and money as well. To my surprise bis fiancee re sponded by saying that she did not regard him very favorably herself. She certainly did not consider him at all good looking; he might be virtuous enough, but one did not expect a man to be too goody-goody, and as for amiability, one never knew how a hus band would turn out until she married him. “I should have been more astonished at this discourse had I not heard the same sort of talk from other girls similarly situated within the last year. Therefore I am in clined to believe that it is really, as I have said, anew fad. A more undesirable one I can scarcely imagine, nor can I conceive what apology there can be for it. It Is bad enough that the girl should not admire the man he has chosen. Even if it were true It would be deplorable ill-taste to speak of it. But to affect it is a most extraordinary ab surdity, inasmuch as a youug woman who speaks that way confesses by inference that abe has accepted a poor specimen of man hood because sbe bad lost hope of scouring a better one.” Strawber—l was talking with a Boston girl the other night about men’s dress, when a particular friend of mine came into the room togged out in a four-in-hand tie and a dress suit. In order to smooth it over I told her that it was a fad of his and that he was tbe president of a Browning club. Singerly—What did she say? Strawber—Bhe said she knew now why Browning died.— Clothier and Furnisher. MEDICAL.
