DEFEAT FOR FOES OF DEVEAUX.
CONFIRMATION OF HIS NOMINATION
AT HAND.
Facoralile Action of the Sennit* Apt
to He Taken In Executive Session
To-morrow—Democrat ie Senator
Itegrets tlie Situation ft>r Snvnn
nah. Rut U'omnienrta Senator llanna
for Keeping Ilia Political Prom
ises.
Washington. Feb. 14. —Collector Decoaux
■will probably be con fir me.! by the Senate
next Wednesday. The committee on com
merce have practically agreed, by a partj
vote, to report the nomination favorabl).
When the nomination comes up in execu
tive session the Republicans will vote for
him and the Democrats will go on record
against him.
A Democratic Senator, commenting upon
the subject to-day, said it would be use
less to deadlock the Senate in an attempt
to prevent Col. Deveaux’* nomination
pimply on the ground of his color. ( oi.
Deveaux is justified in securing such a
good position if he can, but the adminis
tration Is open to censure for inflicting a
colored man upon the white citizens of
Savannah.
“It is an unfortunate situation." contin
ued the Senator, "but I suppose our
friends in Savannah will have to endure
It.”
He went on to say that although Sena
tor Hanna is being roundly condemned
for recommending the appointment of col
ored men in the South, he is entitled to
credit for keeping his campaign promises.
It has been the custom for chairmen of
national committees to make the most
extravagant promises while the campaign
Is on, and forget all about them after the
election, and while Senator llanna has
not grown in personal popularity since
he entered the Senate, men of both par
ties give him credit for keeping his polit
ical promises.
Tom Felder, who is going to cross
swords with Ron Rivington In the coming
contest for Congress, is here mingling
with the members of the Georgia delega
tion. He was a guest at luncheon to-day
at the capitol with Representatives How
ard. Griggs and Brantley. Mr. Felder is
confident that he will 1* chosen to suc
oeed Col. Rivingston, but his confidence
is not shared by the Georgia colony here.
SEARCH FOR A TRUANT WIFE.
B. A. Strong of Savannah on a Sensa
tional Mission in Brunswick.
Brunswck, Ga., Feb. 14.—8. A. Strong,
a Central railroad engineer, who lives at
Meldrim, near Savannah, is in the city,
prosecuting a search that has already last
ed three months, and extended over the
entire southern section of this country.
Strong is looking for his wife, who is de
scribed as a pretty and accomplished young
woman, and for his two little girls, one
just passed her first birthday, the other
four years old. Strong’s story is a pathetic
one.
In November last, Mrs. Strong and the
little girls went to Ocala, Fla., on a visit
to relatives. While there, a tramp painter
was employed about the place, and seem
ed to have exercised hypnotic influence
over the young wife of the engineer. At
any rale, Strong received information
soon after the arrival of his wife at Ocala,
that she had left with the painter, taking
the little girls with her. The engineer
was nearly heart-broken by the news, but
he resigned his position with the railroad
and left at once to trace his truant wife.
He followed the trail * through several
states, and, last week, received information
that led him to believe that they had come
to Brunswick.
Strong made known his purposes here
to the police yesterday, and at once learn
ed something that led him to believe that
the end of his search was near at hand.
He found that the city clerk had issued,
last Thursday, a license to Ed Allen, a
painter. This is the name of the man
who eloped with Strong’s wife and chil
dren. The police are assisting the almost
crazed husband in the search. There may
be some startling developments when the
husband and wife meet. Strong says he
doesn't care for his wife, but wants his
little girls.
The Knights of Pythias fair opened to
night under flattering auspices.
Dennis Jones, the woman who was shot
five times by her lover, John Curry, at
St. Simon last Friday, an account of which
has appeared in these dispatches, is slow
ly recovering, and the physicians are hope
ful of saving her life.
The purchase by Ellis, Young & Cos.,
of the Bush wharf property, in this city,
was finally closed this afternoon. The
purchase price is a little less than $20,000.
The purchasers will improve the 800 feet
of water front immediately with new
wharves.
H. H. Raymond, general Southern agent
of the Mallory Rine.has Just returned from
Washington, where he was in consulta
tion with the Southern Railway ofHeials,
relative to the immediate improvement of
the Southern wharf property here. It is
announced that the railway officials
agreed with Mr. Raymond to begin work
at once.

says if she is to hang she will not have a
■word to say, and that the whole proceed
ings of the court are like a dream to her.
Marlon Harris and W. C. Glenn are pre
paring to petition the prison commission
to recommend commutation of her sen
tence to life imprisonment.
Murdered nnd Put on the Kalin.
Amertcus, Ga., Feb. 14.—The dead tody
of Richard Lucas (colored), was found
yesterday beside the Georgia and Ala
bama Railroad, eight miles below Amerl
cus. An examination of the body indi
cates that Lucas was murdered and plac
ed upon the rails to avert suspicion. A
freight train passed over the body, cutting
off the left foot, but when the crew ex
amined the body it was already cold and
stiff. The Coroner has gone to the scene
and will hold an inquest to-day.

TIPPLING AT COLUMBIA.
Lawmaker* and Variety Show Ac
tor* Have a High Old Lurk.
Columbia, S. C., Feb, 14.—The mrmlers
of the House of Representatives were a
little surprised to-day when E. E. Verner
of Oconee offered a concurrent resolution
to the dispensary, but there was a sensa
tion when Mr. Verner, in reply to the
statement of a member that there was al
ready a dispensary committee, took the
floor and said another committee was
needed, and that the air was full of ru
mors about the conduct of members of
the House and Senate. It had became a
public scandal. He wished the dispen
sary sample room investigated, where it
wad alleged, free liquor in quantities
was dispensed to the legislators. The
House was silent and the resolution was
passed.
Talk about the legislators using liquor
freely started two weeks ago when a va
riety show visited Columbia. The mem
bers of the company were revelations to
some of the rural law makers who monop
olized one floor of a principal hotel and
painted things very red.
To-night the senators killed the resolu
tion out of hand.
PENSIONS FOR EX-SLAVES.
Slick Negro Still Working HU Game
at Macon.
Macon, Ga., Feb. 14.—The negro preach
er Kaigier continues to hold largely at
tended meetings of negroes in this city
and county at which he tells all ex-slaves
he is engaged in the great work of get
ting up a memorial to congress to pass a
bill to pension all ex-elaves. A majority
of the more intelligent class of negroes de
nounce Kaigier. The negro ministers of
the city are arraigned against the move
ment and denounce Kaigier. About 4,000
names have been secured, and while there
is no fee for this work, still every signer
is told that a small sum would aid in has
tening the passage of a pension bill. Kai
gier has aroused the negroes in Bibb and
adjoining counties despite the bitter oppo
sition of the pastors of all the churches in
the city. There has been some talk of
riding him on a rail, but as he violates no
law he defies personal opposition to his
scheme. He is an intelligent negro, and
it is this fact that gives him power to dupe
his race.
GERMANY’S WAR ON IMPORTS.
Resolution of Inquiry Changed hy
the House Committee.
"Washington, Feb. 14.—The resolution in
quiring into the recent restrictions of Ihe
German government on American pro
ducts, passed by the House to-day, was
changed in several important particulars
by the foreign affairs committee before
being reported. As introduced, the reso
lution referred to an attempted adultera
tion of German wines for import to the
R'nited States.. The committee struck out
the qualifying word "attempted.” In
stead of inquiring into "the discrimina
tion” against American beef, fruit and
horses, the committee substituted the
more sweeping "any discrimination,” while
the following clause, "in violation of our
commercial treaties or otherwise,” Is en
tirely omitted.

Col. Candler’s unexpired term. He will

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 15, 189a
CLAY TO STAND BY CANDLER.
THE 11.1.-ADVISRD LETTER NOT TO
ALIENATE HIS SUPPORT.
Contents of the Epistle as Applica
ble to the Senator ns to Any of the
Other Supporters of Gov. Atkinson
in His Campaign Against Gen. Ev
ans—Fight on Over the Gaines
ville Postinnstership.
Washington, Feb. 14.—Senator Clay will
support Col. Candler for Governor, but he
declines to say anything for publication
about the Candler letter, which is now
attracting so much attention In Georgia.
The position of Senator Clay in this mat
ter has been a matter of considerable
speculation for the reason that the letter
criticizing those who worked for Gov. At
kinson in his first campaign seemed to
strike the senator and some of his clos
est friends. Perhaps Senator Clay more
than any other one man was instrumental
in nominating Gov. Atkinson in the fight
against Gen. Evans, and while he had a
few days ago declared when Mr. dußignon
got out of the race that he was for Cand
ler it was Supposed that the letter would
make some difference with his position.
A great deal of pressure has been
brought by both sides to get him to make
some public utterance in the matter, but
he has refused to do so, declining on the
grounds that he did not believe it proper
in one holding the office he does to be
mixing in the politics of the state.
While he takes this position, his close
friends say there, is no doubt that he
will stand on his declaration for Secretary
Candler and will be for him in the con
test that is to come. There is no doubt,
however, that the letter has alienated
some men who were disposed to be active
for Secretary Candler and that others who
would have pulled off their shirts for the
one-eyed plow boy will be exceedingly
luke warm. That is the indication gath
ered from talks with members of the
Georgia delegation, though all of them
refuse to talk for publication.
Hogansville keeps to the front. This
time it comes in the shape of Judson
Lyons’ declaration that Prof. Welchel
shall not be postmaster there because he
has never explained to the satisfaction of
the Republicans that he was one of those
who joined in the boycott on Loftin.
While it looked a few days ago as if Gen.
Rongstreet would be able to get the La-
Grange place for the professor, the sit
uation there has entirely changed and for
that reason Prof. Welchel has been talk
ed of for the Hogansville place in case
Loftin was taken care of somewhere else.
Now the Postmaster General Is said to
have given assurance that the RaGrange
postoffice shall go to Mrs. Awtrey, who
has the indorsement of the RaGrange
Republicans.
SURVEY WORK IN NICARAGUA.
Engineers of the Commission Hav
ing a Hard Time.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
San Carlos, Nicaragua, Jan. 23.—The
hydrographic party, under command of
Lieut. G. C. Hanus and the party of civil
engineers, under charge of G. W. Brown,
both belonging to the United States Nica
ragua Canal Commission, arrived here on
Dec. 81.
On Jan. 7 the work of the survey began
in earnest. Mr. Brown began the meas
urement of a base, but found the country
so difficult that he had* to abandon his
first line after having cut through wood
and swamp for more than a mile. A
point was reached where it was impossi
ble to set up a transit. The men sunk to
their arm pits in the mire. The party
had better luck with their next effort,
and a line has been cut through the for
est for nearly three miles, which will af
ford a practicable base for the hydro
graphic party.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr.
Brown, who, Just as success was in sight,
was forced to return to the United States
as a witness in a court martial of Capt.
Carter. U. S. A.
Lieut. Hanus and his party have not
been idle. There being no base to work
on one was assumed and work pushed
with energy. Signals were built during
the first week following Jan. 7, and re
connoisane lines of sounding were run.
The regular system of lines was begun
on Jan. 15, and the total up to date is up
wards of 300 sea miles.
Lieut. Hanus received a telegram from
Admiral Walker telling him that the
Nicaraguan gun boat, 1893, has been plac
ed at his disposal for the running survey
and the determination of the area of the
lake. Lieut. Hanus will be away for ten
days or two weeks, and after his return
work on the lake wiil be finished. The
party will then commence on the river
and work their way down towards Ochoa,
where their labors will cease.
The commissioners passed through here
on the 13th Instant on their way to Rivas
and the west coast.
The party determining the rainfall
evaporation and limits of water shed gen
erally will have to continue their observa
tions for at least eighteen months In or
der to obtain anything like definite re
sults.
CUTTING AFFRAY AT SCREVEN.
.1. O. Pardon Wonnded In Severnt
Places by T. O. Harris.
Odum. Ga., Feb. 14,-News has Just
reached here of a serious cutting affray
at Screven.
On last Saturday evening J. O. Purdon
was cut in several places by T. O. Harris.
It is not known whether the wounds will
prove fatal. The trouble was caused by
Harris shooting at one of Purdon's chil
dren the day before while drunk. Pur,lon
is a very quiet man. and a prominent busi
ness man of that place, and also postmas
ter. Harris is very quarrelsome when
drinking. No arrest has been made jet.
but likely will be as soon as the extent of
the wounds is ascertained.

! A BARBAROUS SURGICAL
OPERATION
For tlie Cnre of Plies.
Is not only intensely painful, danger
ous to life and very expensive, but in the
light of modern medi -al research and since
the discovery of the I’yramid Pile Cure a
surgical operation is wholiy unnecessary.
If you have any doubt of the point kindly
read the following letter* from people who
know that our claims regarding the merits
of the Pyramid Pile Cure out
by the facts.
From N. A. Stall, Ridge Road. Niagara
Cos., N. Y. : I received your Pyramid Pile
>Cure and tested, r night It did me
more good than anything I have ever
found yet, and remember this was the
result of one night’s treatment oniy.
From Penn W. Arnett. Batesville, Ark :
Gentlemen:—Your Pyramid Pile Cure has
done me so much good in so short a time
that my son-in-law, Capt. T. J. Klein, of
Fort Smith, Ark., has written me for your
address, as he wishes to try it also.
From A. E. Townsend, Benville, Ind.:
I have been so much benefitted by the
Pyramid Pile Cure that I enclose $1 for
which please send a package which I wish
to give to a friend of mine who suffers
very much from piles.
From John H. Wright. Clinton, DeWitt
Cos., III.: 1 am so will pleased with the
Pyramid Pile Cure that I think it but right
to drop you a few lines to inform you its
effects have been all that 1 could ask or
wish.
From P. A. Bruton. Llano, Tex.: Gen
tlemen:—The Pyramid Pile Cure has done
so much good for me that I will say for
the benefit of others that after using only
two days I am better thun I have been
for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
The Pyramid Drug Cos. of Marshall. Mich.,
and it is truly a wonderful remedy for
all forms of piles. So great has been the
number of testimonial letters received by
them from all parts of the country that
they have decided to publish each week
a number of such letters.
All druggists recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure, as they know from what their
customers say that no remedy gives such
general satisfaction.
WOMAN SUFFH AGISTS MEET.
Convention of Their National Asso
ciation Called to Order.
Washington, Feb. 14.—Susan B. Anthony
called the thirteenth annual convention
of the National Woman Suffrage Associa
tion to order at the Columbia theater this
morning. The decorations consisted main
ly in the display of two handsome Ameri
can flags, each with four stars, emblem
atic of the states which granted the right
of suffrage to women.
Prior to the genera] public session there
was a meeting of the executive commit
tee, which was more fully attended than
on any previous occasion. Four states
and territories were reported as not hav
ing paid up the necessary dues, viz: Al
abama, Arizona, Colorado and Utah, and
in accordance with the rules of the as
sociation, the delegates from them will
be denied the privilege of voting.
In Miss Anthony’s address she spoke of
the success so far attained in behalf of
woman suffrage, and urged all those iden
tified in the movement to stand together
lor still better results. The grievances
which the women had against their com
mon enemy—man—to-aay were as great
and as many as the early colonists had
against King George.
Following the opening address the con
vention settled down to routine business,
Including roll call, announcements of com
mittees, etc.
Re*. Anna Howard Shaw, the vice presl
dent-at-large, spoke of the growing sen
timent in favor of woman suffrage. The
newspapers were favorable to the woman
suffragists and they were the greatest help
to which they might look for assistance.
The report of Rachael Foster Avery, the
corresponding secretary, closed the work
of the morning session.
The afternoon session was devoted main
ly to hearing short addresses by state
presidents or their proxies. They were
all of an encouraging character and show
ed satisfactory growth of the movement
in behalf of woman suffrage.
At the evening session a short address
was made by Miss Anthony.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton Wijs sick and un
able to attend and tier paper on “Our De
feats and Triumphs” was read by Clara
Berwick Colby.
Virginia D. Young of South Carolina
also made an address.
