REX ENTERS NEW ORLEANS
Salvos of Artillery Greet His Landing
from His Steamer.
The Three Visiting Companies Given
a Warm Welcome by the Populace
as They Marched in the Military
Parade —The Crew of Proteus Gives
a Brilliant Pageant at Night, Tell
ing the Story of the Persian King’s.
New Orleans. Feb. s.—The weather
here to-da.v is bright, but the tenqiera
ture is much lower than usually during
toe Mardi Gras season. The morning
trains brought many hundreds of stran
grers from the north, east and west, and
from the surrounding states, and the
streets presented an appearance of
unwonted animation. Canal street at
noon, being lined with sightseers. The
Albany Burgesses corps reached the city
late last night and were received. Even
as early as 1 o'clock this afternoon, there
was a tremenderous crowd on the levee
at the foot of Canal street, where the
royal fleet wa3 to land. The river was
alive with steaming craft early in the
day, and a flotilla of boats gaily bedecked
with carnival flags and crowded with
visitors went down the stream to meet
the King and his party.
FORMING or TUB MILITARY.
The military began to form shortly
after noon, the visiting commands being
assigned to posts of honor in the proces
sion. the Continental Guards and the
Boston Lancers serving as escorts of
honor to his ma esty. In addition
to the reguiar ml. nary commands,
there were companies of the uniformed
rank of the Knights of Pythias
and ;he Knights ol Honor and a full
Representation of the national guard.
The Hoschold Guard, the reserve corps,
mounted Armenian cavalry, the King's
Own and other detachments in bright
colors helped to add lifo to the scene on
the streets.
ARRIVAL OF REX.
His majesty reached here at 2 o'clock
and was received with salvos of artillery.
He was escorted to the city hall, where
the keys of the city were turned over to
him.
The carnival season was inaugurated
here to-night iu a blaze of glor.v with the
brilliant pageant of the Crew of Proteus.
The trains to-day brought many be
lated strangers, and the hotels to-night
were reported to be full. The crowds on
the streets during the day were quite
large—as large as at any precoding car
nival for the past seven or eight years.
The reception of Kex during the day
was attended with the customary cere
monies of such o rasions. The king
reached the city, as has been his custom
for several seasons past, by river and was
welcomed with salvos of artillery and the
screeching noises of hundreds of steam
whistles.
THE PARADE OF THE MILITARY.
The parade of the military was fairly
imposing. It was not a great display, but
what there was of it was notable in char
acter. There were three visiting com
panies, the Burgesses corps, of Albany ;the
Dubuque Greys and the Boston Lancers,
and each received applause on the line of
march for their excellent marching ma
neuvers and generally creditable military
bearing.
The streets to-night are alive with
people. After the day parade the stream
flowed up town, and then flowed back,
until it packed Canal street from curb to
pro; erty line and oversowed into the in
tersecting streets, while St. Charles
street was dense with a line of people
running a mile in length on either side of
the broad thoroughfare, on both sides of
wh;ch the parade passed.
THE ILLUMINATIONS.
The illuminations this year were
brilliant and as numerous as on
any similar occasion, and the street
scenes were animated and interest
ing. The visiting soldiers were on leave
during the evening, and they leisurely
entered the parade from points
of vantage along the route. The
subject tretted this evoning
in the magnificent pageant of Proteus
was the Shah Nameh, the epic of the
Kings, and was a beautifully illustrated
story, in moving tableaux, of the Persian
kings. Proteus made his first appearance
in 1882, and to-night's parade was the
twelfth of his existence. There were
nineteen floats in the pageant to
night, which was pronounced as
equaling in grandeur any similar
effort made by the Proteus crew. A hun
dred and fifty thousand people watched
its progress through the streets. Hex
will appear at 11 o'clock to-morrow, in a
pageant embracing nineteen fioats and
Comus will bring the carnival to an end
to-morrow night.
MOBILE CARNIVALS.
Parades by Day and Night Open the
Festivities.
Mobile, Ala., Feb. s.—The carnival in
Mobile began to-day with a parade of
the military and turnout of the tire de
partment. In the afternoon there was a
tournament with many riders at Athletic
park. At night there was a great
open concert in Bienville square,
by the Emperor Felix Baud. At the
Princess' heater, the Mystic Krcwe of
Myrtbe gate a grand masked ball, which
was attended by a great throng. To
morrow there will be a day parade of the
Knights of Revelry and Comic Cowboys.
At night brilliant street parades were
given by the Infant Mystics aud Order of
Myrthes. The city is filled with visitors.

DERBY OF THE DOGS.
Birds Not Plentiful Enough for First-
Class Work.
New Albany, Miss., Feb. s.—The com
petition in the Derby of the Southern
Field Trial Club began to-day, and was
quite even. There were twenty
starters, of which half or more will,
in all probability, he kept
in the second series. The first series was
finished to-da.v. Birds were not plentiful
enough for good work, there being long
intervals of time without any finding.
The weather was pleasant and favorable.
The judges are: T. M. Brundv, of Mari
etta. Ga., J. R. Gurnan, of Stan on,
Tenn., K. P. McCargs, of olive Branch.
Berry la. nusuperior to Earl Palmer
in point work, though neither ranged
wide.
Lightfleld Rosalie, displayed a good
nose, or pointed quick and several times,
Thalid her competitor, making an ordi
nary showing.
Antoinette easily beat Topaz.
Bessie Sboupe far excelled Amethyst,
in finding and pointing, of which neither
did a great deal, or well. Neither showed
a range above the average.
Rods, Mark and Nellie Gladstone made
an ordinary competition.
Dan Durden and Sadie Ross were fast,
or fairly good rangers, but they displayed
only average point work
Maj. Thomas and Ladsrush made good
finds, the former showing superiority, al
though both were irregular in ranging-
They were both industrious.
Lcoda and Calli White maintained a
good range or place to the end of their
heat, the former succeeding better in
fielding and being more skillful in point
ing. Each made a good showing.
Miss Hattie, or Bluertdge Mark, made
a creditable performance. Mark was the
better worker on birds.
Topsys Rod and Allene exhibited the
greatest speed and range of the day, each
taking wide or swift cuts, beating
out a great deal of ground. Rod
showed a tendency to smell on
false scents. Both struck the
trail of a running bevy, which gave the
dogs some puzzling work. Allene was
quicker or sharper in tracking, locating
and pointing the bevy. It was the most
interesting of the day’s heats. There is
quite a large attendance of sportsmen.
A STRIKE AT BRUNSWICK.
The Longshoremen and Knights of
Labor in the Fight.
Brunswick Ga., Feb. s.—There is a
disagreement between the Colored Long
shoremen's Union and the Knights of
Labor, acting as one organization, and
the Brunswick stevedores, which has re
suited in a strike that threatens to be a
long one. The Longshoremen's Union
numbers about 400 laboring men. who de
rive their support from work along the
wharf loading and unloading vessels. It
is well organized and has recently insti
tuted a scale of wages, varying from #4
per day for ‘-posses *of gangs - ’
to $1.50 per day for ordinary loborers.
The colored Knights of Labor, another
organization here, ratified the scale
established by the longshoremen. The
stevedores instituted a vigorous protest
against the rates of wages demanded,
claiming that they are exorbitant. The
laborers, however, bound by the action of
their orders, maintain their ultimatum,
and declare that they will not accept any
redm tion. The stevedores are abso
lutely dependent, in loading vessels, upon
the members of these organi ations,
which comprise about three-fourths of tho
colored laboring class in Brunswick.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1894.
ALL ABOUT AUGUSTA.
A Negress Shpt—New City Bonds—A
New Charter fer the City.
Augusta. Ga.. Feb. s.—Louisa Williams
was to-night shot twice and mortally
wounded by William Nelson, who escaped
arrest. These two negroes lived together
and Nelson was in the habit of beating the
woman. She ran away from his house last
night and went to her mother. Thisevening
Nelson went there, broke in the door, and
demanded her return. The woman hid
! under a bed, but Neison found her, and
ordered her to come out. As the woman
was crawling out from under the bed he
shot her twice and fled. The woman will
die.
At the regular meeting of
city council to-night It was decided to
issue £104,000 of 4 j per cent, twenty year
city of Augusta bonds to take up bonds
maturing May 1.
A committee was appointed to prepare
anew charter for the city of Augusta to
be submitted to the people and then to the
next legislature.
A resolution was adopted urging Au
gusta as the place for locating the federal
prison.
Recorder Pierce, who was recently
summarily deposed from office, has filed
notice that he still claims the legal right
to the office and salary, is ready to render
the service, and will hold the city respon
siole for his removal. This probaoly
means a suit against the city for salary
and damages.
FIVE MEN DROWNED.
Their Boat Capsized With Them In
Santa Rosa Sound.
Pensacola, Fla., Feb. s.—At an early
hour yesterday morning seven men left
the city in small sail boats to go to Big
Sabine, in Santa Rosa sound, about
twelve miles from here. They were: A.
H. Rollins, foreman; D. M. Washburn, a
turner; Ed Mobley, a finisher;
Gus Messick, a machinist, all
employes of Harwell’s ‘furniture
factory of this city; Mr.
Bounder, an unknown man, and Hiram
Brown, the latter sailing the boat. A
strong northern gale was blowing, and
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as they
started to return, the boat was capsized.
The seven men clung to the boat for
hours, but finally Rollins, Washburn,
Mobley, Messick and Brown became ex
hausted and sank to their deaths
one by one. The other two men
held on, and were rescued about
noon to-day by a lumber lighter. They
were almost insensible. The lighter has
just arrived here, bringing the sad news
of the aci ident and the two survivors.
Rollins. Washburn, Mobley and Messick
were recent arrivals here, having come
from Michigan and lowa to work in the
furniture factory. All of them were
single men except Rollins. His wife is
expected here in a few days.
WELLFORD’3 TRAGEDY.
The Coroner’s Jury Attempts to Say
Massey Fired the Fatal Shot.
Charleston, S. C., Feb. 5.—A special to
the News and Courier from Spartanburg,
S. C.,says: "The coroner’s jury in the
dispensary killing near Wellford reached
a verdict to-day. The first jury drawn
was quashed at the suggestion of Sheriff
Dean because the father aud some of the
kindred of Boyce Dean, his deputy, were
on it. Anew jury, a very good one, was
selected. They rendered the following ver
dict, which is singular in its phraseology:
We, the coroner’s jury, agree that the de
ceased, Crawford Ballew, came to his
death on Feb. 31, 1894 by a gun shot
wound in the hands of F. G. Massey,
while resisting officers of the law.”
With this verdict Coroner Pollard was
in doubt as to his duty as to Massey,
finally he decided to commit
him to the jail and await in
structions from the solicitor. So Massey
was arrested this afternoon and turned
ove" to Sheriff Dean. It will be two or
three days before Solicitor Schumpert can
be it ard from. If he decides that Massey
should be held under arrest, then applica
tion will be made before a Judge for bail,
which will be easily secured.”
KILLED WITH A BOTTLE.
A Citizen of Brunswick Deals a Fatal
Blow in Self-dgfense.
Brunswick, Ga., Feb. 5.—A report
which reached Brunswick yesterday that
Frank M. Scarlett, a wealthy and re
spected citizen of Glynn county, had
killed J. Keene, of Wayne County, has
been confirmed. The story as told is to
the effect that Kfcene made a violent at
tack on Scarlett with a bowie knife and
to save his own life Scarlett struck him
with a quart bottle, which happened to
be the only weapon at hand. Keene was
killed almost instantly. He was known
as a desperate man, and had been in many
serious difficulties during his life. Scar
lett was in the city this morning and
gave an account of the killing. He says
Keene was drunk and probably mistaking
him tor his brother, Joe Scarlett, with
whom he was not on good terms, made
the attack on him. Scarlett sought to
avoid a difficulty, but Keene persisted
and left him no other alternative but to
defend himself. Scarlett says he regrets
the a. air very much, but it was unavoid
able on his part.
TWENTY-NINE POPULISTS
Meet at Statesboro and Express Them
selves on an Issue That Died Last
Fall.
Statesboro, Ga., Feb. s.—The People's
party held a mass meeting in the court
house here, and elected H. G. Everitt
chairman of the county executive com
mittee for this year. T!ere were only
twenty nine persons who voted in the
meeting, after a widely circulated call
through their newspaper organ here.
Resolutions were passed deno n ing
Secretary Carlisle’s bond issue and the
defeat of the silver bill last fall. The
meeting too especial care to censure con
gress for all this, aud never mentioned
the fact of the recent passage of the low
tariff and income tax bill.
Six Indictmentß Quashed.
Columbia, S. C., Feb. s.—Trial Justice
Clarkson to-da.v squashed indictments in
six cases brought aguiust Columbians for
soiling liquor. The counsel lor the de
lense raised the point that the in
dictment was insufficient in that it did not
state the name of the person to whom
liquor was alleged to have been sold, or
the time that it was sold, and he was sus
tained.
Prevention is Better

rheumatism can prevent attacks by keep

which causes the disease. You can rely
upon Hood's Karsaparilia as a remedy for

form of scrofula, salt rheum, boils aud
other diseases caused by impure blood. It

TO STOP USING SHELLS.
Chert to Be Tried for Street Paving
Now.
The work of replacing the shell pave
ment on Jefferson street from Charlton
to Anderson with Belgian block will
begin as soon as the material for the work
can be obtained. This is an improvement
which will give general satisfaction, both
to the residents of Jefferson street and to
the large number of people who traverse
that thoroughfare every day.
The cost of the new pavement will be
very slight to the property owners on the
street. The usual proportion of the cost ;
of the work will be assessed against the |
abutting property owners, but the amount
of the assessments previously paid for the j
shell paving will be deducted from tne
second assessments, which will tend to i
considerably reduce the cost to property
owners.
As the curbing is already in place aud
the street, is at the proper grade, it will
only be necessary to scrape off what is
left of the shells and lay down the new
paving. This will make the cost com
paratively light to the city.
The experience of the city with Jeffer
son street has proven very conclusively
that shell pavements will not do on streets
where there is a heavy traffic. In fact,
the shell pavements are not giving great
satisfaction anywhere just now. even on
the residence streets. They soon begin
to wear out and require constant repair
ing after the first year It is not proba
ble that any more shell pavements will be
put down in Savannah soon. Chert is re
garded as the coming material for cheap
paving, and it is likely that it will be
given a trial by the city soon.
The piece of chert pavement put down
by the Central railroad on New street
has stood the wear and tear of the heavy
traffic to which it has been sub.ected re
markably well. Ihe pavement has given
away in places next to the warehouse
wall, but this is the fault of the founda
tion and not of the material of which the
pavement is composed. Both Mayor Mc-
Donough and Col. Winn, city engineer,
are favorably impressed with the desira
bility of chert as a paving material and
are anxious to give it a trial. Col. Winn
has recently received communications
from engineers of other cities, in which
chert is in use as a paving material,
strongly endorsing it.
Mayor McDonough desires to have
Gwinnett street from Jefferson street
west to the water works paved with ehert
this year. It was contemplated paving
Gwinnett street with shell two years ago,
but as the water works were under con
struction at that time, and it was neces
sary to tear up the stroet in order to lay
the main, the question of paving was
postponed for the time. Gwinnett is the
only street in the city that runs entirely
across the city east and we3t from one
limit to the other, and if it were paved
entirely across the city would make one
of the handsomest driveways to be found
anywhere.
The Georgia Infirmary.
Editor Morning News: Will you kindly
correct any statement that I may have
made as to any lack of sanitation in the
Georgia infirmary. You have misquoted
me as to the building not being a sanitary
