AT THE TOMB OF THE REDS.
Chicago Anarchists Pay Their Annual
Tribute to Their Dead.
Gcv. Altgeld Eulogized for His Clem
ency to the Imprisoned Leaders- The
Pardoned Leaders and Lucy Parsons
Take Part in the Exercises—A Thou
sand Men and Women in the Pro
cession.
Chicago, Nov. 12.—Altgeld and anarchy
were named together at the grave of
Spies, Parson, Lingg, Engel and Fischer,
in Waldncim cemetery to-day. A pecu
liar interest was given to the memorial
demonstration by -the participa
tion of Michael Schwa üb, Samuel
Fielden and Oscar Neebe, who
were sentenced with their dead comrades
—the Jirst two to be banged, and Neebe
to 15 \ ears' imprisonment. The governor
of Illinois was praised for his exercise of
pardon, and Judge Gary was condemned,
but Fielden and Schwab had no kind
word to say for Gov. Osrlesby, who saved
their necks from the hangman's noose.
Anarchy was not flaunted with fiery
speeches and red fiags in the face of law
abiding citizens or sympathizers in the
“sacred house.” but there was in
the stx-eet parade and speeches of Fielden
and Schwab an undercurrent of deathless
hostility to society, to the “capitalistic
class, 1 ’ to the institutions of the country
and to law r and order in any form.
A TAME CELEBRATION.
Compared with previous commemora
tions of Nov. 11. 18*17. to-day’s demonstra
tion of sympathy and tribute to the mem
ory of the dead five was tame. No men
tion was made of the bomb-throw
ing by the anarchists at Barce
lona. and the Speakers were not
only silent in regard to a resort
to force, which they advocated six years
ago in the Haymarket square, but they
even declared that there was a peaceful
solution to be found in the troubles agitat
ing the laboring masses.
In a drizzling a rain. 1,000 men and
women, and some children, wearing in
many forms the red badge of the anarch
ists, marched through the streets of the
city at noon to the railroad depot, where
special trains conveyed them to the Wald
heim burying ground. The most conspic
uous man in the procession was Oscar
Neebe. He acted as marshal, walking at
the head of the column, but at the grave
he was as silent as the five anarchists
who lay under the granite tombstone
faced with a female figure in bronze.
LUCY PARSONS ON HAND.
Lucy Parsons’ brown face framed in
black was the most conspicuous, next to
Neebe’s, but the widow of the leader of
anarchy in Chicago six years ago did not
raise her voice at the cemetery as on
former anniversaries. Fielden and
Schwab preceded the marching body to
Waldheim and took no part in the pa
rade. When the procession moved from
the rendezvous at Market and Randolph
streets the hands of police officers were
raised to check street cars and other
vehicles so that no break would be made
in the ranks, and a strange part of the
demonstration was that no words of
hatred and revenge were hurled from the
platform at the grave against the police.
When Waldheim was reached the rain
heat upon the motley assemblage of 2.000,
among whom were Assistant Chief of
Police Kipley and three score of detec
tives, and many who came through cu
riosity only.
THE EXERCISES.
After the tributes of flowers had been
placed on the monument and the march
ers had passed around it, the exercises
began. The band played the "Celestial
Overture” of the reds, which is "Annie
Laurie.” The song came from Parsons’
lips when in his ceil on the eve of his ex
ecution.
Schwab was introduced as "A comrade
who was seven years in prison for our
cause.” Standing on the platform
facing the grave of his dead comrades
with his little boy by his side, the man,
who was always more of a socialist than
an anarchist, read from proof sheets in
Herman a remarkable speech It was
mainly an intensely dramatic and eloquent
account of the scenes and Incidents in the
county jail, the night before the morning
of the execution.
NO FUSION IN ALABAMA.
Populists, Kol'oit9s and Democrats to
Have Tickets in the Field.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 12.—The
chances are that the populists will not
fuse with the Jeffersupian democrats or
Kolb men in this state in the coming
elections. The platforms of the two par
ties are rather close together and both
arc working to a common end to defeat
the organized Democratic party in the
state. It has been a foregone conclusion
litre that the two parties would fuse.
This impression was dispelled to-day,
however, when • the populists announced
that at a county convention, held here
last night, the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That the delegates from this con
tention ho instructed to support no man
fo m another politic-ill organization for any
shoe office save that of the populist party.
DISCUSSION ON THE RESOLUTION’.
I hero was some little discussion on the
resolution. "If Kolb is a Jeffersonian
democrat,” said one speaker, "he is not
11 People's party man and ought not to
receive our votes. He won’t get mine, I
know, our delegates must be instructed
10 v te for avowi and People's party cundi
un'.t sand for no others.”
One man argued that Kolb was a Peo
hj' s party man, but it was reported that
Kolb did not say so.
vote being taken, the resolution pre
vaib-d unanimously, and twenty-seven
_ ‘''gates were appointed to the state con
tention. which will be called for an early
bay. The impression with the popuiists
appents to be that Kolb expects to get
ha' k into the Democratic.party.and is only
using their party as a cat’s paw. They
any they have no office-seekers in their

A MEXICAN LEADER JAILED.
He is One of the Most Dangerous
Revolutionists in the Republic.
Matamoras, Mex.. Nov. 12.—A great
sensation has been created here by the
telegraphic announcement from the City
of Mexico, that Gen. Juan G. Coertina,
one of the greatest revoluntonary leaders
! of Mexico, has been arrested and impris
j oned in San Juan de Ulloa prison by or
der of President Diaz for at
tempting to incite another revolutionary
uprising against the government. The
city of Matamoras is Gen. Cortina’s old
home and stamping ground. Twenty-five
years ago he was the most desperate and
greatly feared man in Mexico. He ruled
the Rio Grande border country from
I .a redo to the mouth of the river and was
in the revolutionary business as a means
of gaining a livelihood.
HIS INFLUENCE ENORMOUS.
His influence was so great that he could
inaugurate a powerful revolutionary move
ment against the Mexican government
by a single pronunciamento with his sig
nature attached.
during the civil wnreaused
the United States government to lose
many thousands of dollars.
When President Diaz’ revolution
ended in success Gen. Cortina was sum
moned to the City of Mexico, where he
has been kept in constant surveillance by
President Diaz ever since, to prevent him
from inciting further revolution. He has
made his home in the capital where he
was furnished with a pension sufficient
to live in good style, but his every move
ment has been closely watched by Presi
dent Diaz’ agents for fifteen or twenty
years.
A CUSTOM HOUSE TO BE ATTACKED.
El Paso, Tex., Nov. 12.—The city of
.Tuarez, in Mexico, is in the greatest ex
citement, and the military and civil au
thorities are busily engaged in arm
ing the citizens with all the
weapons obtainable. The cause of
the excitement is due to information
received from Juarez through the mili
tary commander and. the commander of
the frontier customs guards of
that city that the custom
house will be attacked by the revolu
tionists, a detachment of whom captured
the custom house at Las Palomas, ninety
miles west of here, last Tuesday. The
revolutionists, or “Orronunciados,” or
“Pronunciados,” several days since issued
a pronunciamento against the Mexican
government, and distributed it among the
border states of the south. This fact
became known to the government, but, no
attention was paid to the matter until the
attack and capture of the custom house
at Las Palomas, which was a complete
surprise.
The authorities have information that
the revolutionists are now on their way
to Juarez from Las Palomas and are about
000 strong, while there are other small
parties continually joining them from the
mountains to the south and west. The
fighting force at Juarez consists of three
cavalry troops, sixty-five mounted cus
toms guards and something over 300 dep
uty policemen all under command of Col.
Zuberkerski of the Eleventh regiment of
cavalry.
HONDURAS APOLOGIZES.
The Amende Honorable Made for Fir
ing on the Flag.
Washington, Nov. 12.—The state de
partment’s cable dispatch in the navy de
partment’s cipher, which navy officers
were wrestling with last night, was not
from Rio Janeiro, as was supposed, and
had no reference to Brazilian affairs, but
was from La Libertad, Salvador, where
the United States steamship
Alliance is now, and where
both Lewis Baker, our combined
minister to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and
Salvador, and Minister Pierce M. B.
Young, accredited to Honduras, happen
to be at the present time, the cause of
this gathering being the firing on the
United States flag carried by the United
States mail ship Costa Rica by the Hon
duras authorities in their over anxiety to
obtain possession of a political opponent,
Gen. Bonilla, who was on board
the mail steamer. Minister Baker
happened also to be a passenger at the
same time, in transit from one of his
divided posts of duty to another, and the
affair thus obtained immediate naval
prominence. The gunboat Alliance, which
is cruising around in these waters, re
ceived some very explicit orders, and
trouble might have happened, as the out
rage was shown to be deliberate, but for
the result announced in this cipher cable.
AN APOLOGY.
That communication conveyed the grat
ifying intelligence that the government of
Honduras had apologized, and that the
incident was closed. The state depart
ment, this afternoon, gave out the follow
ing statement in regard to the case: “Up
on receiving authentic information of the
tiring upon the Costa Rica, an American
mail steamer, at Amapala, on the
(ith Inst., because her captain re
fused to deliver up Bonilla, a passenger.
Gen. Young, our minister to Honduras,
under instructions sent by Secrotai-y
Gresham by direction of the president
protested against the act as wanton and
illegal and demanded an apology. The
government of Honduras promptly dis
avowed the conduct of its officers and ex
pressed sincere regret for the occurrence.”
The authentic information here re
ferred to was a cable message from Min
ister Young, of Nov. 0. establishing the
fact that the shots tired from the port of
Amapala were tired at the Costa Rica
with the intention, if possible, of hitting
her, and not, us was thought at first,
across her bows for the purpose of
bringing her about. On the samo day
Secretary Gresham, after consultation
with the president, sent Minister Young
his Instructions to demand an explana
tion and apology. His satisfactory reply,
which closes the incident, reached the
state department to-day.
SETTLING ON THE FIGHT.
The Jacksonville Bidders to Meet
the Sluggers To-day.
New York, Nov. 12.—A dispatch was
received yesterday afternoon by Mr.
Rouse, who has been looking after the
interest of the Jacksonville people at this
end of the line, stating that two gentlemen
would arrive in this city to-day clothed
with authority to close negotiations with
James J. Corbett and Charlie
Mitchell. Mr. Rouse immediately
notified the principals to meet at
the Cosmopolitan hotel this morning.
Wm. A. Brady, the representative of Cor
bett, telegraphed that he could not meet
the Florida Athletic Club until to-mor
row forenoon at 11:30 o'clock. It is more
than likely that matters will be brought
to a head in a short time to-morrow morn
ing, as it is understood that the southern
gentlemen menn business, and do not in
tend to leave a loop hole for the fighters
to crawl through.
SAVANNAH, GA„ MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1893.
POLITICS ON THE RHINE.
No Partisan Movement of General In
terest for Several Weeks.
The Leader of the Opposition Groups
Acting Independently Instead of
Forming a Coalition-No Modifies
tion in the Chancellor's Tariff Policy.
The New Taxes Accepted Without
Concerted Opposition.
Copyright, 1893. by the United Press.
Berlin, Nov. 12.—Although the reopen
ing of the reielistag is but a few days off,
the political parties remain dormant. No
partisan movement of general interest
has been made for several weeks. Tho
leaders of the opposition groups instead of
attempting a coalition against Chancellor
von Gaprivi, seem to have made their
plans independently. No sign of a com
mon programme is apparent.
The victory of the conservatives in the
lantag election has not had the slightest
effect in altering the chancellor's course.
Instead of modifying his tariff policy to
soothe the agrarians Chancellor von
Caprivi contemplates an extension of the
reciprocity policy until Germany shall be
linked commercially with every civilized
nation. The emperor is known to enter
tain broad ideas looking towards an in
ternal customs union, and bo supports
the chancellor in his approaches to this
end.
THIC FINANCIAL PROPOSALS.
As to the position of the government on
the financial proposals for the new taxes,
although the wine and tobacco trades
have made a great outcry, nothing like
popular opposition has been aroused
against the proposals as a whole. Ad
verse critics say that the country has
sunk into such a political torpor
that it will submit to anything.
The truth rather is that everybody re
cognizes the necessity of increasing the
revenues and nobody can see anything
better for the purpose than the scheme
of Herr Miquel and Chancellor von Cap
rivi. The banks and bourses accept the
new taxes without grumbling. It was
expected that the announcement of the
tax bills would cause a sharp decline in
quotations, but this expectation has not
been fulfilled. Whatever other modifica
tions the government may make during
the debate the bourse tax will remain un
touched. The proposed tax on receipts
and checks may be withdrawn, as the
reichbank has remonstrated against it
energetically. The tax would produce
little revenue in comparison with the in
convenience it would cause, while it would
prevent the development of the check
system in Germany. Ultimately the gov
ernment will carry out the whole scheme,
even in this particular virtually, as it will
be presented in about two weeks.
AN OUTCRY AGAINST RICHTER.
The defeat of the radicals in one Land
tag election has caused a renewed outcry
of the party journals against Eugene
Richter's leadership. The Vossische Zei
tung pronounces him to be an injudicious
leader, weakening his party to maintain
his personal supremacy, and advocates
his deposition. In the l'rclsinnig Zei
tung Herr Richter argues that not
the personality of the leader, nor
the weakness of the programme has
caused the temixirnry losses of the
party, but the fact, that uncorrupted by
office and untrammelled by pledges of loy
alty, the party fights, not lor any class,
but for tho whole people of Germany.
“Despite recent checks in the naval and
Prussian elections,” he adds, “tho party
must remain faithful to its principles,
assured that in the early future it will see
the realization of liberal ideas and the ex
tinction of reactionary hopes.” All of
this proves that Herr Richter does not
blame himself for the radical reverses and
means to keep his grip on tho leadership.
ALSACE AND LORRAINE.
Deputies from Alsace and Lorraine
have decided that immediately after the
opening of the reichstug they will de
mand that the present system of admin
istration in the annexed provinces, be re
formed. They think the cordial recep
tion given the emperor during the Met :
manoeuvres justifies the hope of the aboli
tion of all exceptional laws. The semi
official press alludes to the emperor's
new plans for Alsace and Lorraine,
but nothing has been done. The
deputies now mean to learn why the ein
peror s previous inclinations have been
chhnged. The opinion in official circles is
that the government will announce its in
tention t( continue the present regime
until the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
annexation of the provinces, when they
will be annexed to Prussia.
The social democrats have been stirred
to anger by the revival of an ancient or
der authorizing the expulsion from Ber
lin of persons who have been convicted of
penal offenses. Two workingmen, sen
tenced to three months’ imprisonment
each in 1881 for circulating a seditious
paper, have been made the first victims
of the revived order. August Bebel, so
cial democrat, will interpolate the govern
ment in the reichstag on the subject, and
the radical deputies will raise the ques
tion in the Prussian lower house.
AUSTRIA’S CABINET.
The Names of the Members of the
New Ministry Given Out.
Vienna, Nov. 12.—The names of the
members of the new cabinet are

semi-official organ of the government, and
are as follows: Prince Windsch Graetz,

interior; Herr Sehoneber, minister of
justice; Herr Falkenhay, minister of
agriculture; Count Westerheimb, minis
ter of naval defense: Dr. Maydeyski,
minister of education and public worship.
In addition, Herr Wurmbrand is minister
of commerce, and Herr Jewarski minis

THURSTON ON HIS WAY BACK.
The Hawaiian Minister to Reach
Washington To night.
Washington, Nov. 12.—The members of
the Hawaiian legation in this city learned
to-day that Minister Thurston, accom
panied by his mother and daughter,
would reach Washington from Chicago
to-morrow night. He has not commun
icated directly with the legation here
since Secretary Gresham's report and
recommendation was m<ide puoiic. and,
consequently, nothing Is known of his
views.
Mrs. J. Roosevelt Dead.
London, Nov. 12. —Mrs. J. Roosevelt,
wife of the secretary of the United States
embassy here, and daughter of the late
William / s:or, died this evening. She
has been ill since late in October.
A SPLIT ON THE TARIFF.
The Democratic Members Find it Hard
to Agiee on Reductions.
Washington, Nov. 12.—1 t appears that
the chief embarrassment of the ways and
means committee is tome, not from tho
articles upon which the specific adva
lorem duties are to be reduced, but
from the articles that are to
lie put on the free list. It hud
been generally accepted up to
quite recently that tho democratic
party was united on the proposition of
putting coal, wool, iron ore, salt and lum
ber on the free list, but the latest devel
opments have indicated that this is not
the case. They have also indicated the
wisdom of the committee's policy in keep
ing the details of the tariff bill'a secret
from the publio and the manufacturers
until the measure is ready lor introduc
tion.
A EIGHT AGAINST FIIEE WOOL.
Representative Culberson nnd other
Texas members have already begun their
opposition to free wool, and they are like
ly to receive substantial encouragement
from the Ohio members and the repre
sentatives of the grazing states of the
west.
Several Alabama representatives are
protesting against the proposition to
place iron ore and coal on the frie list.
The extensive lumber states, both of
the south and west, are almost a unit in
opposing free lumber, uud the argument
is being freely made that the only effect
of placing lumber on the free list will lie
to throw open the American murkots to
Canadian lumber for the next ten years
and ruin the lumber Industry for 'that
period in the west and south without any
compensating benefit to the builder ana
consumer. •
FREE SALT OPPOSED.
The Michigan members will probably
opixise free salt to a man, as
it is stated that even Represent
ative Whiting, of the ways and
means committee, will contend that
the effect of placing salt on the freelist,
will be only to give the English salt man
ufacturers a monopoly of the American
markets and close up the American works.
Statistics are to be presented to show that
the English salt manufacturers can. if the
duty be entirely removed, ship salt from
Liverpool to Chicago and afford to sell it
to the wester# packers at a lower figure
than the Michigan salt men. The New
York agents of the foreign manufacturers
are paying special attention to this sched
ule. and the question of free salt is des
tined to be one of thomosthotly contested
issues in the House.
Altogether the lot of Representative
Wilson and his colleagues of the. ways
and means committccis not a happy otic.
With a seorc or more of influential gen
tlemen demanding a caucus for tho con
sideration of the tariff bill and various
other matters, declaring that they will
not tote for the measure if it makes dras
tic reductions on articles in which their
constituents are interested, the difficulty
of securing democratic harmony on the
measure being evolved by the ways and
meuns committee is overy day becoming
more apparent.
HERBERT WANTS BATTLE SHIPS.
The Supply of Cruisers SufHoient for
Several Years.
Washington. Nov. 12.—Secretary Her
bert believes in ttie necessity of powerful
fighting ships for the United States navy.
His views on the subject aro well known,
and it is understood that his forthcoming
report to congress will embody a recom
mendation that an appropriation he made
for at least one, if not two battle ships.
The last report made by Mr. Herbert,
as chairman of the mouse" naval commit
tee, contained a strung argument in sup
port of this proposition, and it is gener
ally understood that since he accepted
the naval portfolio he is more firmly im
pressed with the belief than over.
NO MORE CRUISERS NEEDED.
It seems to be equally certain that so
far as cruising vessels are concerned tiie
secretary believes—and this belief is
shared by his principal subordinates
that the present number will be sufficient
for several years More fighting vessels of
the type of the lowa and Illinois are
needed to give the navy the offensive
qualities necessary for first a class power,
and this fact Secretary Herbert will en
deavor to impress on the nnvai law
makers. The limited revenues of the
government will,'no doubt, be urged by the
economists of the House as an argument
against any naval increase next
session. and a heated contest
over the proposition is looked for.
TORPEDO BOATS ALSO WANTED.
Secretary Herbert’s recommendation
for battle ships is likely to ho coupled
with a suggestion that half a dozen tor
pedo boats are also needed as valuable
auxiliaries in time ot war. Our present
supply of the craft is very limited, and it
is hoped that authority will be given to
construct these whether the appropria
tion ior the battle ships is carried or
not.
DANGERS OF THE MAIL CARS.
Ten Clerks Killed and 131 Injured
During the Past Fiscal Year.
Washington. Nov. 12.—During the year
there were 403 accidents to railroad post
offices, by which 10 clerks were killed, 0(1
seriously and 115 slightly injured.
Superintendent James E. White, in his
annual report to the Postmaster General,
earnestly recommends the passage of a
bill which he has drafted, which provides
that, beginning with the commencement
of the first fiscal year after the
approval of this act. there shall
be withheld from the salary of
every person employed in the classi
fied railroad mail service a sum equal to
1 percent, per annum of hissalar.v, which
shall constitute a fund to be known as
"the railway mail service relief fund
that this fund shall be applied to the re
lief of uuy employe, who, in the line of
duty, shall be permanently Injured or
disabled ; that if any employe should be
killed in the line of his duty or should die
as a result of any injury received within
one year, leaving a widow or minor chil
dren, there shall be paid to said widow or
children a sum equal to one year's salary.
A FIENDISH OUTRAGE.
The Wife and Daughter of Evans
Probably Blown to Atornn.
Bardstown. Ky., Nov. 12.—The fury of
at least a part of the mob that would
have hanged Phil Evans, has at last
vented itself in an awful manner.
At 12 o’clock last night the
home of Evans, two miles in the
woods back of Samuel’s station, was
blown up with dynamite and a fusilade of
shots fired. The fragments of the dwell
ing burned until nothing was left but a
few bricks. The aged mother of
Evans and his wife and daughter, though
known to have retired last night, are no
where to be found, and there is every rea
son to believe that they were blown to
atoms.
STORIES OF SALVATION.
The Christian Workers Hold a Big
Religions Mass Meeting.
Rsv. Torrey Declares That Amid the
Storms of Life Every Man Needs a
Place of Refuge From the Tortures
of an Accusing Conscience Col.
Hadley Tells of the Rescue of Drunk
ards By St. Bartholomew s Mission.
Atlanta, flu., Nov. 12.—Delegates to
the Christian Worker's convention
preached in all the churches of the city
to-day. Mr. Crittenton, the philanthrop
ist, made an address at St. Luke's Epis
copal church to-night.
This afternoon an immense religious
mass meeting was held at De Give’s opera
house. A number of local ministers oc
cupied scuts on the platform.
Rev. R. A. Torrey, of Chicago, the
chairmau of the convention, conducted
the devotional exercieses, assisted by
Rev. Charles Herald, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
“Christ Received Sinful Men” was sung
by the congregation. First the galleries
sang a verse and then the parquett after
which the whole assembly chimed in the
chorus, and filled the opera house with a
mighty song-burst of melody.
Gov. Nor then made the opening prayer.
A Sabbath collection was taken up to
meet the expenses of the convention. A
number of blank pledges for this purjiose
were scattered among the congregation
to be signed with an agreement to give a
fixed amount, payable within the next
few days.
TOBRF.Y TELLS TWO STORIES.
The first speaker to address the meet
ing was Mr. Torrey. "Several years ago,”
said Mr. Torrey, "I saw in Munich a
picture of a storm, which mado a pro
found impression on my mind. Tho
picture, I thought, was a scene from every
man's life; for every man, amid the
storms of this life, needed a place of
refuge from tho tortures of an accusing
conscience. Many a man who has put
himself beyond the clutches of the
law has made a voluntary surrender
of himself years afterwards. This was
due to tht' lashing of conscience. Con
science may sleep for awhile, but it never
dies.” At this point he told the story of
a poor unfortunate girl, whose conscience,
after years of sin, was aroused by one of
the songs of her childhood. Her remorse
for sin was so great that on the morning
after she was found in tho cold embrace
of death.
COL. HADLEY’S TALK.
The talk of Col. Hadley was one of
great power and tho mooting was visibly
affected. “1 thank God that after commit
ting all tho sins in the decalogue I was
brought to the knowledge of Christ
amlto realize that He had come to save
tne in all my guilt and wickedness. Ob,
how sweet is that verse, ‘The
Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not
want.’ If we choose Christ us our
shepherd we shall never want in this
world or the next. We need something
in our hearts to subdue our evil passions,
and the only thing that will purify our
lives is the love of the good shepherd. If
we have not this love and faith in our
hearts we can never overcome our secret
sins, for only the strength and power of
Christ can do this and make us clean. My
friends, did you ever see a drunkard con
verted, and Jesus Christ enter his heart?
That is what I often see in St. Bartholo
mew's mission.
a drunkard’s conversion.
"A drunkard was converted ut the mis
sion one night. He went up to the altar
i where tears of penitence were shed. Home
told him to get up. ‘No,’ said the fellow,
‘l'll bod if I will.’
" What, I thought you were peni
tent”
“ Yes, I am, and I’ll bed and if I touch
another drop.’
"R was profane, of course, but it was
the only language the poor drunkard
knew. He afterwards became a gloriously
converted man. A number of strango and
powerful conversions have taken place in
this mission. I had boon u drunkard
myself for more than twenty years, but
having taken the J-ord as my shepherd I
have, now, thank God, no appetite, for
whisky, and shall never touch it again in
this world.”
MANY HANDS GO CP FOR PRATER.
At the close of Col. Hadley’s beautiful
talk every hand in the congregation
seemed to go up for prayer. The whole
audience joined in the Ixird's prayer. A
number of unconierted men arose to
their feet ut the close of the meeting and
indicated their desire for a newness of
heart. At least a hundred asked to he
specially remembered by the convention
and remained until the close of tiie
meeting. At the Central Presbyterian
church a mass meeting for children was
conducted by Rev. E. P. Hammond.
A meeting for ladies only was held at
the Young Mens’ Christian Association,
arid was led by several lady delegates to
the convention. The exercises of the
convention will be resumed to-morrow.

and Crawford.
They were arrested in Dawson yester
day afternoon by the chief of police of
that town, and told conflicting stories of
themselves. A negro named Albert Hill
yard, who is thought to have been in col
lusion with them, has confessed to
having seen them break open the store.
There is other evidence of a very posi
tive nature against them.
Sharp is tall and slender. He had on a
blue uniform, and when searched had a
star conductor's punch among the effects
found upon his person.
Crawford is a lage, heavy set blonde.
They had a pal, who escaped, arid it is
thought that he was the custodian of the
principal part of the booty, as only a
small amount of money was found on the
men captured.

AN ATTACK ON GRESHAM.
Ex-Miniator Stevens Impugns the
Secretary's Motives.
Augusta, Me., Nov. 12.—1n a signed
letter in the Kennolieo Journal to-morrow,
John L. Stevens, late United States min
ister at Hawaii, will make a reply to Sec
retary Gresham's report. Mr. Stevens
says: “According to authentic reports
from Washington, a public crime
of startling import is about to
lie committed under the authority of
the American government, a public
crime of less proportions, but in its moral
t.\ pc similar to the stilling of the national
life and the reform aspirations of Roland
and Hungary a few years ago by imperial
despots, amf to the crushing out of the
newly formed republic of Rome by the
usurped powers of Louis Napoleon. All that
American piety, A mere an benevolence,
American schools and American patrio
tism have accomplished in Hawaii, in the
past seventy years, are now centralized
in the provisional government, and stand
in its support. It is a government hon
estly and ably administered, and the best
government that Hawaii lias ever had.
GRESHAM’S MOTIVES IMPUGNED.
“I know not tho influence which in
duced Secretary Gresham to become an
active agent in attempting such a great
offense against American civilization,
Justice ami laws. His in tens® hostility to
ex-President Harrison and to the illus
trious ex-secretary of state, who passed
to his grave in January last, is well
known. It was that which caused lum
to betray and desert the great politi
cal party whose honors he had
shared and brought him to his present at
titude toward his former associates and
their work. Ko far as his recent mani
festo on Hawaiian affairs cast a reflection
upon my official action 1 care little, ex
cept to the degree that his cruel and un
truthful words, strike at the noble baud
of inon and women who have for ten
months stood so devotedly and united in
defense of American civilization.”
RECOGNITION OF THE NEW GOVERNMENT.
Mr. Stevens defends his action in recog
nizing the provisional government, and
says it was fifty hours after Lilluokalani
and her favorites had been driven from
her throne by a revolutionary outbreak
when the men of the Boston landed. In
the exciting hours preceding and follow
ing her fall, her representatives and
those who formed the provisional govern
ment, had equal access to tho legation.
To all proper inquiries hia answer was
the United States marine could not tnke
sides, but whatever do facto government
might exist, would have to be recognized.
When be did recognize it. late in the af
ternoon of the 17th the provisional gov
ernment was complete master of the sit
uation.
ONLY FIVE NEW FEVER CASES.
Another Warning to Refugees—Busi
ness Beginning to Plok Up.
Brunswick, Ga., Nov. 13.—Five new
cases of fever were reported to-day, none
of which ore white. Tho colored patients
ro| orted are: Lena Stewart, Lucy Ford,
Rosa Ford, .Virginia Mitehell and Ma
linda Mclntyre.
Eight patients were discharged, none
of whom are white: Those discharged
are; Arnista's child, Alice Ford, Charles
Crew, Lucy Persons, Lord lainier, Queen
Walker, Lizzie Barlow and Emma Davis.
There wore no deaths.
The official report shows 128 patients
under treatment. A careful review by
the attending physicians of cases reported
und overlooked in discharging patients
will doubtless reduce this number. From
a partial canvass of the practicing physi
cians the conclusion is reached that not
over 1(X) patients are now under treatment.
The weather shows no favorable change.
refugf.es not wanted back.
Resolutions were passed to-day by the
health board urging refugees not to re
turn until an announcement that it in safe
to do so is issued by the board and marine
hospital service. The resolution includes
a statement which is true, as proven hy
the records, Hint three refugees who
evaded the quarantine rules have been
stricken with yellow fever and died.
Business is beginning to pick up. Ellis,
Young ife Cos., through their agent, H. M.
King, are working a good force of men on

JESUP'H DISINFECTION.
Jesup. Ga., Nov. 12.—The situation is
still unchanged, and as the weather re
mains fairly cool no more cases are looked
for.
The fumigation of the bedding of all
the fever patients was successfully accom
plished by 7 o’clock last night. The dis
infecting car and engine, with the crew,
returned to Camp Detention this morning
by order of Surgeon General Wyman. Dr.
< 'arter, accompanied by Dr. Lincoln, made
the rounds in a buggy of all the houses in
which there had been yellow fever pa
tients for the purpose of finding out
which required fumigation. were
all found, with one or two exceptions, to
be in an extremely good sanitary-condition,
so that very little disinfecting work will
bo required. Surgeon Murray did not
arrive last night, as was expected, much
to the disappointment of the guards and
other creditors of the government, it is
supposed that the non arrival of the funds
was the cause of his failure to appear
here.

Domestic Infelicity.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 12.—J. J Hansford,

I LYNCHERS OUT AT ORLANDO
Their Plans Foiled By the Sheriff
and the Militia.
Tho Mob Bent On Lynching Walker
Who Was Acquitted of the Charge of
Murdering Marot on a Doubtful Al
ibi —The Mob Composed of Citizens
of Good Standing.
Jacksonville, Fin., Nov. 12.—For nearly
n ween past a young man named
Walker lias been on trial at Orlando for
complicity in the murder of old man
Marot at McDonald's station in June last.
Yesterday he was acquitted on a rather
doubtful alibi. An Orlando special to
tlio Times-Union to-night says: “The
sequel to the acquittal of Walker yester
day occurred late last night, when a mob
went to the jail and attempted to
gain access, apparently intending to
shoot Walker in his cell. All the after
noon excited men gathered on the street
corners and discussed the verdict. After
nightfall men began collecting from
the neighborhood of tho crime—gen
erally on horseback and armed with
shotguns. A little before 11 o’clock they
raided the foundry and captured a num
ber of sledge hammers and crowbars and
started for the Jail, intending to beat a
hole iri tho wall and gain access to tho
corridor, whence they could readily shoot
the prisoner.
THE MILITIA CALLED OUT.
“Sheriff Anderson hurriedly gathered a
few men and prepared to guard the Jail,
while ho sent word to Judge Bryan to call
out tho militia.
"The mob came up, expecting no resist
ance, but they found the way blocked.
They were determined, but lacked a
leader. Meanwhile, they were talking
and planning and trying to got past the
sheriff and his few assistants without
violence, but they were hampered by the
lack of a head.
“Suddenly Lieut. A. C. Hart, of the
Shine Guards, with eighteen privates and
non-commissioned officers, arrived on the
scene. The men lingered around for
some time, loth to give up their object,
but after the Guards arrived all attempts
were useless. About 2 o'clock this morn
ing the mob dispersed. The Guards re
mained underarms till morning and con
sidered themselves sunjcct to call still.
The juil is thoroughly guarded, but no
ono expects any further attempt at vio
lence.
GOOD CITIZENS IN THE MOB
“The mob whs composed not only of the
best citizens out on tho line of the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad, but
many good citizens of Orlando. They
made no attempt at concealment, and
probably at no time did they much exceed
a hundred men. There is soino talk of
having them all before the county crimi
nal court, which meets to-morrow, but it
is doubtful if it be done.
■it Is highly probable that Walker will
be tried before that court on some charge.
Every ono believes him guilty of murder.
Even some of tho Jury say that they only
gave him the benefit of tho doubt.”

Two Tallahassee bachelors, both anx

made to fit the first one ready to take
this important step in life, and the other
is to wear it as his wedding suit. As ono

LYONS’ LAMPBLACK FACTORY.
How it Caught Fire -Other Fires That
Havo Occurred in the Town.
Lyons, Ga., Nov. 12.—As stuted in a
dispatch of vesterday, the lampblack
factory at this place is a thing of the
past. For its size Lyons appears to have
more than its share of fires. About two
years ago one of the hotels, known as the
Thompson house was burned. Next,
the finest residence in the place
owned by H. C. Odum and occupied by
G. K. Guerroy and family, was ’ laid iii
ashes. Next was a saw and grist mill
and cotton gin with about seventy-five
bales of cotton, the mill and gin belonging
also to H. C. Odum. Recently the still of
the Lyons Turpentine Company was
burned, and now comes the lampblack
factory, belonging t 6 the same company;
with a loss of ♦275 or S3OO. It seems that It
must have taken fire by igniting the
heated gas that had accumulated In the
main building.
It is not known whether it will bo re
built or uot Neither the furnace nor the
condensing chamber is injured.
