Is safe to say that the union jack never

Gen. George E. Currie commanded the
200 knights from Kentucky. It was not
necessary for this command to carry a
banner of identification, for the tune of
“My Old Kentucky Home” let the crowd
know that the boys from the Blue Grass
stt-te were passing. The band was the
Phoe&Vx of Dayon, 0.. and was under con
tract to .Play nothing but Ketucky’s
favorite air .' If spplause is the salt of the
musician's life, as it is of the actor's,
then the horn blowers from
Dayton should be satisfied with the en
thusiasm which marked their progress
With the Kentuckians was the Louisville
division drum corps, whose youthful
members gained laughter and cheers by a
peculiar salute which they executed for
the benefit of President Cleveland.
Texas, with 250 men under Gen. V. M.
Van Zandt. made an excellent showing,
and West Virginia, with 30 men under
Gen. John W Mather, gained in applause
what it lacked in numbers
Then came the First Virginia regiment
under Col. D. J. Turner with 200 men
“Carry me back to ole Virginity” rang
out as the Virginians wheeled into Penn
sylvania avenue, and the welcome
of the crowd was so vociferous
that it almost drowned the sound
of the horns and drums. Thou
sands of people from nearby places in the
Old Dominion were along the route and
their enthusiam knew no bounds when
they heard that familiar old tune.
But it was reserved for the Tennessee
brigade to make the hit of the da.y. As
it, wheeled into the avenue, 400 strong, in
cluding the First Arkansas regiment, the
Chattanooga band struck up ‘Dixie;’’
and then the southerners in that vicinity
went wild. They waved their hats and
handkerchiefs and shouted and cheered
and yelled. From that time on until the
air was finished the Tennesseeans were
the most popular Knights in line. It was
really an inspiring scene to witness the
demonstration.
The First Georgia regiment, the First
Florida regiment and First South Caro
lina regiment composed the “Coast
brigade.” Brg. Gen. Harmon was in
command. The Florida regiment was out
in force, and the Georgia and South Caro
lina knights also made a good showing-
They had many friends in the crowd, and
did not lack the applause they deserved
for their excellent marching.
THE “COAST BRIGADE’S” SOUTHRONS.
The “coast brigade" of the Knights of
Pythias, including Knights from Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia, were the last in line in the
procession to-day. There were about 200
Georgians in line. The entire “coast
brigade" was under the command of Col.
R. F. Harmon of Savannah, Ga. He rode
on a white stallion at the head of his
regiment, surrounded by his staff
in full uniform. His officers
were: C. P. Kossignol, adjutant,
of Savannah; R. \V. Hunt. Augusta,
quartermaster; W. H. Schatman, com

THE PYTHIAN CAMP.
Session ot the Supreme Lodge—Pyth
ian Sisterhood Also Meets.
Washington, Aug. 28.—The meeting of
the supreme lodge Knights of Pythias to
day was not productive of any important
business. Eighty one new members,
from many states and some foreign coun
tries, were admitted to membership. A
pleasant incident was the presentation to
Supreme Chancellor Blackwell of a hand
some gavel inlaid with silver, by the
Idaho delegates, and a gold and silver
jeweled monument by Montana’s repre
sentatives The death of Congressman
Shaw, past supreme chancellor, was re
ferred to in appropriate language by Mr.
Feathers of Wisconsin, who also pre
sented suitable resolutions and a memo
rial. W T hen these had been adopted, the
supreme lodge, as a further mark of re
spect to the memory of Mr. Shaw, ad
journed until to-morrow.
Like the meeting of the supreme lodge,
the meeting of the supreme assembly of
the Pythian sisterhood, which was held
at Grand Army hall, was conducted with
closed doors, but the sisters sought to re
fute the old saying about a woman and a
secret, by declining to give out anything
official about their proceedings.
Mrs. A. A Young, the supreme chan
cellor, made an address and presented her
report. The other officers also presented
their reports, showing encouraging prog
ress. It has been determined that
Mrs George W. Bomis of Worcester,
Mass , shall be the next supreme chan
cellor Indianapolis appears to be the
favorite for the honor of having the next
meeting of the Pythian’s supreme lodge
and encampment of the uniform rank in
1896. The selection is to be made by the
supreme lodge, and the Indianapolis men
are using every argument in favorof their
city.
Boston and Minneapolis are also in the
race, but their representatives have not
yet displayed much activity in striving
for the honor.

of gentlemen, consisting of Mayor E. H.
'Williams. Dr. W. it. Googe, S. D. Walker,
C. Barnes and Caston Barnes, arrived

PREPARING FOR THE CONTEST.
Democrats of Orlando Organizing for
Work.
Orlando. Fla.. Aug. 28.—The democrats
of Orlando revived and reorganized their
club last night. It had been inactive
during the period of nearly two years
since the close of the last campaign. But
they got together last night, re elected
the former president. Hon. VV. L. Peeier,
made Mahlon Gore first and B. C. Aber
nethy second vice presidents, L. C.
Vaughan secretary ana Alex McKae as
sistant secretary. A goodly number of
names were added to the iist of member
ship and an invitation was extended to
every democrat in the precinct to join and
assist in the good work.
A list of voters or those entitled to vote
in the precinct was received from the
county executive committee. It contains
the name of every person who is or would
be entitled to vote in the precinct regard
less of politics or color, it is intended to
be an aid in hunting up any and all demo
crats who may ha\e neglected to register
or pay their pod tax in order to bring out
the lull strength of the party at the Octo
ber election. Similar books have been
prepared by the executive committee for
earn precinct in Orange county, and the
work of a thorough canvass is inaugu
rated. There will be no uncertain rej ort
from Orange county on Oct. 2.
Hon. M. R. Marks, nominee for state
senator from this district. J. T. Clapmau,
nominee for tlie assembly, and (Japt. W.
C. Nutt, nominee for i ounty assessor,
were present at the meeting, and after
the routine work was finished were called
out and made short addresses
Speeches indorsing the actions of the
state, congressional, senatorial and county
conventions were made by Messrs. John
C. Jones, George B Dickinson, L. D.
Browne and President Peeler, after
which, by a rising vote, the club ratified
the action of the convention and the nomi
nations.;;
Mr. Arnold is again on duty, after hav
ing been confined to his house for two or
three weeks by injuries received by an
explosion of gas from a gasoline tank.
The tank had been empty for two weeks,
and had stood open in the yard during
that time The opening was large enough
to admit the body of the boy who cleaned
it out. It had been washed and
rinsed several times by filling it
with water and emptying it
out again, and it would seem
that every particle of gasoline and gas
must have been removed. It stood for
several hours after washing. In order to
ascertain if the washing had been thor
ough, upon returning home after night,
Mr. Arnold lighted a match to look inside.
The result was an explosion and a badly
damaged man. His right arm and hand,
face and neck were scalded so that the
skin peeled off. The tank was made of
galvanized iron, and consequently it was
impossible that the material could have
held any of the liquid by absorption.
There is a mystery about the case which
probably will never be explained.
WEEKLY CHOP REPORT.
Outlook for Cotton Not Particularly
Favorable—Corn Doing Well.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28.—The weekly
crop bulletino of the weather department
issued to-day says: “The continued wet
weather of the past week, accompanied
by a deficiency in both heat and sunshine,
has not been very favorable for cotton,
although there has been no marked de
terioration in the stable. It appears to
be weeding too rapidly, and in a few’scat
tered localities is shedding.
Corn continues fine, in fact it would be
difficult to imagine a better condition.
The central counties of the state, it is
feared, have not been so fortunate as
some of the surrounding sections. Too
much rain, with a lack of sunshine, have
retarded fodder pulling, and it is thought
some of the crop will be entirely lost.
Cotton has also suffered greatly on ac
count of the excessive moisture, rust is
spreading and the squares and round bolls
are dropping off. The staple, although
far below the average, is in good condi
tion, considering the reverses it met with
in the early part of the season. The lands
are well saturated, and no plowing can be
done, although potatoes and cane are
badly in need of it.
The crop outlook is not flattering. Re
ports from South Georgia also show an
excess of rain and a lack of sunshine dur
ing the past week, and that excessive
rams and high winds have done consider
able damage to crops; however, all agree
that the crop outlook is about an average
one.
Cotton picking is now the order of the
day. The quality of cotton is not so good
as last year, and the yield will be less.
As has been the case in many other
parts of Georgia, the weather'of the
southeastern counties has been quite wet,
and some crops are in need of less moisture
and more sunshine. Cotton especially
would be benefited by a dry and warm
period. It is rusting and shedding in
spots.
BOLD BURGLARY.
An Atlanta Negro Smashes a Window
and Robs a Store.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28 —It is a fact that
most merchants find that handsome win
dow displays are a good investment.
Kaiser & Cos., jewelers and brokers on
Decatur street, are however an exception
to this rule. The firm, which has a mag
nificent window,has recently tempted pas
sers by with valuable ornaments of jew
elry as well as a lot of crisp new green
backs distributed artistically among
the jewels. All night long the win
dow has been keot brilliant
with electric lights. This morning at 3
o’clock. Tom Rains, a vagrant negro, hap
pened to pass that way; the sight was too
much for him. He went into an alley,
got a big rock, and when the policeman
on that beat had turned a corner, let fly.
In short order the negro followed the
rock through the broken glass, and grab
bing both hands full of bills and jewelry,
made a dash for liberty. The bold bur
glary created a good deal of excitement
in police circles. About daylight, Rains
was captured hiding in his own alley. He
had plunder still with him, besides a pair
of badly cut hands, which will help con-
I vict him of the burglary.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1894.
GEORGIA REPUBLICANS.
They May Coalesce With the Populiata
or May Not.
Atlanta. Ga . Aug. 28.—The republican
convention will meet here to-morrow pur
suant to a call of the executive committee,
which provided that the convention shall
nominate a ticket for governor and state
house officers. There is much doubt, how
ever. whether this convention will see fit
to abide by the recommendation of the
executive committee in putting out a state
ticket.
Col A. E. Buck, the big boss of the
grand old party in Georgia, who is chair
man of the executive committee, insisted
upon calling the convention for the ex
pressed purpose of naming a ticket, is in
Maine sick, and the chance appears to be
that the faction which is opposed to put
ting out a ticket will prevail. This
faction, which is managed by the
negro leaders of the party, want to
coalesce with the populists as they did
two years ago. Watson and Hines have
been working with these people for some
time past, and they stand a good show of
carrying the day. Watson and Hines
have convinced soms of the negro leaders
that their only hope of getting a share of
spoils is by voting with the populists.
With Buck present there would certainly
be a lively row, and there may be anyhow.
Col. Buck had a double purpose in
view in issuing a call for the same date
as the convention to nominate a state
ticket. He wanted to make a showing
that would help him back into office in
the event of a republican administration
next time. In addition to this he has a
score to settle with Tom Watson and his
populist coadjutors on account of the
campaign of two tears ago. In the bitter
ness of their defeat then, both Watson
and Peek, the gubernatorial candidate,
said very uncomplimentary things about
Buck and his part in the campaign. This
made the colonel mad and he registered
an obligation to even up things the first
opportunity. He determined from the
outset to prevent a coalition of republi
cans and populists this year if he possi
bly could, and thus knock one of the
strongest props from populist hopes. The
best way to accomplish this end. be con
cluded. was to have a straight republican
ticket in the field, and several months
ago he went to the meeting of the
executive committee and framed the call,
ordering the convention to nominate a
candidate for governor and state house
officers. Buck's effort on that occasion
caused a relapse, from which he has not
yet recovered. He went to Maine to get
back his health, and is not able to return
to Georgia to carry out his design. In
his absence the populist leaders have
been at work on the colored republicans,
and may succeed in defeating the object
for which the convention was ordered aDd
effect a coalition.
POPULISTS ROUTED.
A Bad Day for Them in Emanuel
County
Statesboro, Ga., Aug. 28.—The popu
lists received a deadly blow just over the
line in Emanuel county on Saturday.
There was to have been a joint debate
between Col. Frank Soflßeld and W. R.
King, populist nominees for controller
general on the populist side, and Judge
H. D. D. Twiggs and Col. George M.
Warren were to represent democracy.
When the day came Messrs. King and
Soffleld, the populist leaders, failed to
show up. Messrs. Twiggs and Warren
were on hand, and were asked by the dis
puted populists present if they would
meet Watson and Hines. _This request
was readily granted. Judge Twiggs
made one of the most eloquent speeches
of his life, and when he came
to dealing with Hines’ negro-hating
record he called on the colored
people present to know if there was any
colored men present who heard Judge
Hines call the negro a brute and their
women unchaste, as charged by the
Statesboro Star. Several negroes arose
and said that the charges were true,
they having been witnesses to the same.
There were also several white men pres
ent who rose up in the crowd and testi
fied that the charges are true, although
Hines bitterly denies them. It was con
sidered a complete rout of the populists
in Emanuel county.
Judge Twiggs and Hon. T. S. Morgan,
Jr., will address the people of Bulloch
county near Fay’s Mill on Aug. 30. A
big basket dinner will be given and a
large crowd will he present.
A SENSATION IN COBB.
Jury Commissioners Charged With
“Fixing” the Jury Lists.
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 28.—The pretty little
town of Marietta, twenty miles up the
Western and Atlantic road, and Cobb
county, are considerably excited over a
report that the jury commissioners have
been monkeying with the jury list. The
commissioners are said to be the political
friends of judge Gober of the Blue Ridge
circuit. Several weeks ago, as reported
in these dispatches at the time, the grand
jury of Cobb refused to indorse Judge
Gober's candidacy for the supreme bench.
Naturally this was the causeof a good deal
of warm feeling, especially as the county
was already split into factions, Judge
Gober being at the head of one side.
When the jury list was received several
days ago the names of those who voted
against indorsing Judge Gober for the
supreme bench were found to be omitted,
although they were among the best citi
zens and had always been on the list.
The jury commissioners were all appointed
by Judge Gober and are his close friends,
wnich has given rise to the report that
the omission of the anti-Gober men was
intentional on account of their action in
the grand jury room.
RUSSELL’S OPPONENTS.
Third Partyites Invade Albany to
Hold Their Convention.
Albany, Ga., Aug. 28.—Without any |
beating of drums or other formal an- I
nouncement, third party delegates began
to invade this city to-day for the purpose
of holding a convention to-morrow to
nominate a candidate for congress.
N. T. Crozier, chairman of the third
party congressional executive committee,
said to your correspondent to-day that
every one of the fifteen counties in the
district would have a full representation
in the convention.
There will be two candidates before the
convention. Dr. J. H. Pickett, ex-repre
sentative from Worth county, and Will
iam Smitn of Decatur county, but from
what could be learned from delegates al
ready here Smith will be the roan put in
nomination to be slaughtered by Con
gressman Russell. It seems, coining as
they do unheralded and with big delega
tions, that it is the intention of the third
party leaders to strike terror into the
democratic ranks.
The democrats will follow on Aug. 31
with their congressional convention,
which will nominate Ben E. Russell of
Decatur county.
MONEY TO SAVE CARR.
His Poor Old Mother Mortgages Her
Home to Save His N ek.
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 28.—A pathetic in
cident was added to-day to the killing of
Capt. H. O. King by Alex. Carr. This
morniog a mortgage for *I,OOO was filed
in the clerk’s office in favor of Arnold &
Arnold, Carr's attorneys. The mortgage
was given by Mrs. G. S. Carr, the gray
haireu, feeble old mother of Carr, upon
her little home, almost her only worldly
possession.

DEPOT BURGLARIZED.
A Young Negro Robs the South Flor
ida Company. But Is Caught.
Ocala. Fla., Aug. 28.—Robert Mitchell,
a young negro, entered the Florida South
ern railroad waiting room at noon to-day
when Agent Gerig was at dinner, climbed
over the partition, broke open a money
drawer, transferred the content, to his
pockets, climbed back and lit out. No
one was in the waiting room, but J. A.
Rowell, who was passing the depot as the
boy came out, made an effort to arrest the
negro, but for several hours he made his
escape good. Ben McCullough finally
found him under a woman's bed in Tuck
ertown, but the money he had stolen,
some S4O. was missing.
Wilson James, colored, also wanted for
embezzling #IOO. was nabbed this after
noon. Wilson’s father, who lives near
Fantville, received *IOO from a friend in
Georgia to buy some land. Dick James
sent his son Wilson. Wilson went
and got the deed, but did not pay for the
land, but told his father he did Wilson
disappeared. Later on the man who sold
the land came after the money, when it
was found Wilson James was am embez
zler. Warrants were taken out, and this
afternoon he was captured just as he
was taking the train for parts unknown.
He offered his captor *SO to let him
escape.
TURNER AT DECATUR.
His Speech During the Noon Recess of
Court.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28.—Judge Turner
spoke an hour and fifteen minutes during
the noon recess of court in the court
house at Decatur to-day. He was heafid
by about 300 people, among them quite a
number of his Atlanta admirers. The
most of the crowd was, however, from
the town of Decatur and surrounding
country. It was a gathering of the thina
ing class, and the frequent applause
showed that the distinguished speaker
was iully indorsed by his hearers. Judge
Turner spoke principally on the financial
question, with a brief discussion on the
tariff bill, which has just become a law.
He defended the bill, declaring that it was
the best that could be expected at
the first move for tariff reform, and in
finitely better than could have been hoped
for previous to the installation of the
present administration. Judge Turner,
in a brief way, reviewed the tariff legis
lation as a whole, showing up the good
qualities of the bill in a way that drew
forth a good deal of favorable comment.
His argument against the prevalent
boisterous demands for the free coinage
of silver, which come from more quarters,
was convincing in its logic. He did not
think free coinage on any ratio could be
had without attendant danger, and was
specially opposed to the ratio of 1(5 to 1.
He defended his vote for the 20 to 1 ratio
and argued that free coinage on any basis
must come gradually. Judge Turner js
in good spirits over his reception. He
rearrived in the city to-night and was the
object of many attentions by well known
people who called on him at his rooms at
the Kimball house.
CHEWED HIS THUMB OFF.
Murderous Assault of a Nsgro Upon a
Citizan of Macon.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 28.—An old man
named McMullins was assaulted late last
night by a negro named Preston Fields,
who knocked him down w’ith a piece of
heavy scantling and then literally chewed
his thumb off.
Fields had been employed to carry din
ner to Mr. McMullins, but of late had not
been giving satisfaction. Yesterday he
had let the dinner get wet in some man
ner and was reprimanded by Mr. McMul
lins. Last night the negro was very sul
len when Mr. McMullins went home and
took occasion to strike a horse belong
ing to Mr. McMullins while the latter
was looking at him. Mr. McMullins
remonstrated with him. and, without say
ing a word, the negro turned on him and
struck him over the head, felling him to
the ground. He then jumped on Mr. Mc-
Mullins and literally chewed one of his
thumbs, making Mr. McMullins promise
to let him alone before he would release
him.
Mr. McMullins is seriously and per
haps fatally injured. Fields was fined
$25 by the recorder and committed to the
superior court on the charge of assault
with intent to murder.
