For fear the harmony of tho state fair will be disturbed, the Macon, Ga., au¬ thorities will expel the Salvation Army. Gen. Edward Hopkins, collector of customs for the district of St. Johns, Fla., died in Jacksonville in the seventy seventh year of his age. Four stores at Seal near Columbus, Ga., were pied by burglarized. They were occu¬ B. M. Henry. E. F. Pye and two were vacant. At Henry’s store they blew open the safe, but got only four dollars. The Augusta, Ga., Gazette had been sold out to T. L. J. Miller, one of the largest stockholders. As to the price paid no one knows exactly, but it is said it did not exceed five thousand dollars. Mr. Miller is a good business man, and will make a success of the paper. By some means the Thompson-Hous ton Electric Light Company’s wires got out of order in Augusta, Ga., and set fire to Lombard’s foundry and the lower market, in entirely different sections of the city. Both fires were, however, ex¬ tinguished before the arrival of the de¬ partment, A call for a mass meeting has been is¬ sued and signed by a large number of prominent merchants of Nashville, Tenn., to consider the new proposition to be submitted by the Tennessee Midland Railroad Company, and to protest against the frauds committed by the opponents of the proposition voted on recently. On the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, near Jackson, TenD.,an entire passenger train, except the engine, was hurled from a trestling hour, while running forty-five miles an and over thirty persons were in¬ jured, though, by what seems almost a miracle, none were killed. The coaches were thrown forty feet from the track and some turned completely over. The ladies’ coach and sleeper of the southbound train on the Alabama Great Southern Railroad, were thrown from the track, near Ft. Payne, Ala., by a broken rail. The coach was badly wrecked, and eighteen people were badly injured, and some of them seriously. The sleeper was only overturned and none of the passen¬ gers on it were injured. The people of Winchester, Ky., are jubilant over the prospect of having a new railroad. The proposed line is the Louisville, Cincinnati & Virginia Rail¬ road and its termini will be Beatville, Va., and Winchester, Ky. It will form a link in the great Louisville & Nashville system. Ground 1ms already been broken. r l he contractors will have 1,000 men at work as soon as shanties for their accom¬ modation can be erected. The last spike on the Kansas City, driven Memphis & Birmingham Railroad was by Congressman Allen, of Missis¬ sippi, at Guin Station. President Geo. II. Nettleton, accompanied by several of¬ ficials of the road and several citizens of Kansas City and Memphis, arrived in on the first through train over the new road. The visitors were re¬ ceived by a committee from the Chamber of Commerce. The road is one of the best built and equipped south of the Ohio river. The sti ike in the woollen mills of Louis¬ ville, Ivy., which was begun two months ago, has collapsed. The weavers de¬ manded an increase of wages and were supported in their action by the Knights of Labor. The mill owners refused to ' take back any of the strikers who would not sign an agreement to give up alle¬ giance to the Knights and come back at old wages. The mills were closed. Re¬ cently the employes began to seek their old places, and nearly all the weavers have agreed to the conditions. Dr. James A. Gray died in Atlanta, Ga. lie was a native of Monroe county, where he was born on tho 29th of De¬ cember, 1849. He was the son of Dr. Joseph Gray, a prominent planter of that county. He beg in the study of medicine, matriculating which at the he Atlanta graduated Medical Col¬ the lege, from in class of ’79. He took first honors in a class which had forty-eight members. At the time of his death he was proctor of the faculty of the college. He was a Master Mason; a member and medical ex¬ aminer of Gate City Lodge K. of H.; was surgeon of the Atlanta Rifles and a mem¬ ber of the Atlanta Society of Medicine. Great distress prevails on both sides of the upper Rio Grande country, in Texas, on account of high water.

Among the passengers who arrived on the steamship La Gascogne, at New York, was a Boston dressmaker named Miss M. Kennedy. When her baggage had been placed on the dock she opened one of her trunks, and taking out a silk dress carelessly threw it on the floor. Then she quickly picked up a box that had lain under the dress and handed it to a man who started to place it in his trunk, which had been passed, The movement officers, was seen by special customs arrested who seized the box and the womau and man. The box contained four handsome hand-embroidered dresses worth several hundred dollars each. The dress that had been thrown aside was found to be lined with costly laces and silk and satin dress goods. An inspec¬ tress found that Miss Kennedy htid laces, silks, etc., to the value of several thou¬ sand dollars concealed on her j»erson. Her other baggage, three trunks and a packing-case, was seized b»*t not ojiened. The goods discovered arc valued at $75, i 000 . VOLUNTEER WINS THE AMERICAN YACHT BUN9 A WA Y FROM THE SCOTCHMAN. An Immense Crowd In New York Harbor Sees the Canny Scot Easily Defeated by Urn. Paine’s Racer. The Scotch cutter Thistle and the American sloop Volunteer have met in the first 1887 contest for America’s cup, in New York harbor, and the Volunteer beat the foreigner so badly, that the lat tor’s most enthusiastic champions have only to say that something unexplainable is the matter with the Thistle. The peo h »° WCnt d ? Wn °? 3,000 B ; eam 8 ^P 9 ’ yachts mcr steamers, tugs, steam yachts sailing and boats improvised for the occa sion inhered easily 50,000, and the scene fore, presented by the mass of craft be at, and after the start, cannot be de scribed. They covered a vast area and they kept up anoise throughout the race, that startled the people who came from Europe to witness the contest. Incessant gun firing and steam whistling called forth the wildest kind of enthusiasm, wnich interfered with tho duties of offi eials of the race. The great flotilla cov ered the ground off O’Neal’s Head in a way that made it doubtful if a decent start could be made, while the elements indicated “no race. From early morn¬ ing, there was no sign of a breeze, and a dirty haze hung over the water, indica¬ tive of a continuously thick atmosphere, and a poor view of the race. With favorable surroundings, the race would have been started at 10:30 a. m., but at that hour there was not air enough to blow a match out, and the judges, on Commodore Gerry’s Elcctra, waited to fdart the racers until there should appear a chance of getting the boats over the course within the prescribed seven hours. At 12.20, the Elcctra fired the prepar¬ atory gun, and at 12.30 the gun to start. After the latter, the yachts had five min¬ utes to cross the line. If either had taken longer than five minutes, her time of start would have been registered at the expiration of the five minutes. The boats crossed as follows: Thistle, 12.33.06; Volunteer, 12.34.58. The Thistle not only had the nearer position, when the order to start was given, but she also went through the water faster. So she got over the line 1 minute 52 sec¬ onds ahead. An cight-miles-an-hour wind was then from the south-southeast, and the yachts had to sail close on the wind for the first matk, buoy 10, on southwest, the ship which bore south by west was three and a half miles away. The yachts Volunteer went over port tack and at once the began to overhaul the Thistle. The fitst tack was in to¬ ward Clifton, Staten Island, and on that tack of fifteen minutes or less, the Vol¬ unteer showed her superiority over the Thistle in weather that had been written down as the foreigner’s best, that left no doubt of the result. The Volunteer went by the Thistle as though the latter was anchored, and she stayed in front to the end. The Thistle was more than a little bothered by the excursion boats on that first tack. Steamers crossed her bows, and gave her much swash, but after that the steamers hung to the Volunteer, the leader, and throughout the rest of the day she suffered three times, at least, as much as the Thistle did, from the way they kicked up the water and shut oil the wind. It was no longer a race. It was a procession. The wind varied in locality and strength. It shifted between the southeast and southwest, and some¬ times one boat had it when the other did not. And the result was a most decisive victory for the American sloop. Beat¬ ing, stretching and running, with free sheets, the Volunteer outsailed the This- After the the race, Thistle, James Bell, principal owner of said he was not at all satisfied with the result. The Thistle, he declared, had never moved so slowly through the water. He was of the opin¬ ion that there was “something wrong with the cutter’s bottom,” and sire would be hauled out of the water at once with a view towrnrd finding out what it was. lie did not consider that the race had been sailed for that reason and be¬ cause the wind was so shifting. The Volunteer often had the advantage of breeze that the Thistle did not feel. Be¬ sides, excursion boats swashed the This¬ tle, to a damaging extent. Gen. Paine and Edward Burgess, of the Volunteer took the victory quietly, but very hap pily. The London News “It is to says: not be concealed or denied, that the result of the race is a bitter disappointment. We had been led to expect great things of the Thistle, and the Americans themselves encouraged us in our expectations. Our disappointment is ail the more greater because, though neither boat had the right wind for a thoroughly good race, a light breeze prevailed that was supposed to be iu favor of the Thistle. The This¬ tle lost in the wind of her own choosing. We may build a better boat 9ome day and we have never built such an one before.” RACK WAR IS TfiXAH. An insurrection is imminent among the colored people in Matagorda county, Tex. The sheriff of Matagorda county sent a courier to Sheriff Hicley, of Brazier county, asking for immediate assistance. The courier stated that over 200 negroes were under arms in Matagorda, and that excitement among the whites was very great. The trouble arose over an at¬ tempt of a colored constable to arrest a white man who resided on Cancy Creek. The constable was found dead lying in the water of the creek, and the negroes believe that he was murdered by white men of the vicinity, because he had u warrant for one of their number. Later reports stated that Sheriff Hicley had iai9 ed a posse of fifty mounted white men and started for Matagorda. While the sheriff of Matagorda county was en route to the scene of the trouble with one hun¬ dred mounted men, an alarming report reached Houston, Tex., that the sheriff's forces had arrived and active hostilities bcirun. The negroes have been largely reinforced. The Houston Light Guards have received orders to leave on a special train for the town of Columbia, Brazier county.

A violent storm has been raging in northern Mexico for several days. At Sonz, twenty-eight miles north of Phil urhua, a bridge 200 feet long is almost completely destroyed, together with con¬ siderable other property. The Illinois state’s attorney is still en¬ gaged in settling up the affairs of the Chicago boodlers, and it was learned that so far settlements have been effected with J. M. W. Jones, who paid over $45,000; Mandell Brothers, who gave up $750, and Elijah Robinson, who paid $13,500. Bailiffs, accompanied by a body of po¬ lice, seized a number of cattle belonging to a family named Hurley, at Kilbarrey, Ireland. A crowd at'acked the officers with stones and pitchforks. The police charged their assailants with fixed bayo¬ nets, and bayonetted several, but they were obliged to retreat without the cat ^ Fifty persons, principally Jews, have just been tried at Riga. Russia, on thir¬ teen different charges of arsou. The evi¬ dence showed that an extensive conspira¬ cy had been formed to defraud insurance companies. Ten of the prisoners were sentenced to Siberia for life, nineteen were acquitted and the remainder were sentenced to various terms of imprison¬ ment. The military and police were present at the eviction of Michael Lane and family, from their holding on Col. Mead¬ ows’s estate, at Ardnaorusha, in Limer¬ ick, Ireland. The Lanes made a stub¬ born resistance, and during the struggle Mrs. Lane, with a poker, split open the skull of Inspector Riley, who was direct¬ ing the eviction. Mrs. Lane, her husband and brother were arrested. Jubilee receptions at the Vatican have begun. The Roman congregation pre¬ sented the Pope with an offering and re¬ ceived the Pope’s blessing. Roman po¬ lice have seized the Pope’s medals, which are inscribed: “Pope Leo, XIII Ponti fex Et Rex.” It is expected that the Vatican will protest against the seizure, and will point‘out that the law of guar¬ antees recognized the Pope’s right to the title of sovereign. In a letter from Wadelai, Africa, Emin Bey declares that he will not return with Stanley. He says: “I succeeded have passed twelve years here and have in reoccupying nearly every station in the country which Gen. Gordon entrusted to me. I have won the trust and confidence of the people, civilization. sowing seed of a splendid future for It is out of the question to ask me to leave. All I want England to do is to make a free trading way to the coast.” Sir William Vernon Harcourt addressed a meeting of liberals at Lewis, England. He denounced the government’s policy in Ireland as base and brutal. The course of the ministry, he said, was revolting to the free people in England, who would not long endure to see sister countries maltreated. The tories qimed to main¬ tain their privileges by force; the liber¬ als offered freedom, conciliation and self government to Ireland, He hailed the prospect of the contest reaching a cli¬ max. He did not doubt that home rule would win. MORE TRAIN-WRECKING. Three Ilnutnrilly let, by I'ndiacorered VII. Inins—No Liven Lost. An attempt was made to wreck a St. Louis express train on the Fitchburg, Mass., road, about one aud a half miles above the townof North Pownal, Vermont. Engineer Philling, in the dim moonlight, saw an obstruction on the track about three train lengths ahead—the train was running about forty miles an hour—and he applied with the jerk, air but brakes, stopping tho train a not until the en gine hud struck the obstacle. This was a pile of nine ties, two of which were spiked to the track. The engine did not leave the track, though several of the ties were displaced from the train pile laid across the rails. A passenger on the Cairo, Vincennes & Chicago Railroad ran into a saw log upon the track about eight miles south of Vincennes. The log was as large as a flour barrel, but the engine knocked it off. Over a hundred people were on the train and felt considerable alarm over their narrow escape. A few nights ago an attempt was made to wreck an Ohio & Mississippi train between Shoals and Hutson, Ohio. On this occa sion,crossties were piled on the track, but the engineer saw them in time to reverse the engine. The obstruction was strong enough to shake up the passengers and throw off the cab. A northbound pas senger train on the Iron Mountain Rail road was wrecked near 7 Walnut Ridge, and Arkansas.

An extended programme of receptions, luncheons and dinners had been prepared for their en¬ tertainment for the week. In the evening the doors of the Merchants Exchange were thrown open for the soldiers and their friends, who were wending their way to the reception tendered by th e citi zens of St. Louis, and the immense cham¬ ber was profusely decorated with bunt¬ ing, ing flags and stripes and streamers hang¬ gracefully from the balconies. A great banner welcomed the boys of ’01. A fountain m the middle of the hall, filled with floweis and surrounded by tropical plants, the dashed jets of water into spray, and as great center piece separated the great masses of the peoplo who filled the hall long before the hour set for the welcome address, and band discoursed stirring coming airs, while the crowd awaited tho of the speakers. Mayor Francis, accompanied distinguished by war governors and other guests, entered the hall _ and took places on the platform. A few minutes luter Gen. Sherman entered, - ac¬ companied by two friends, and succeeded in getting almost on the platform before he was discovered by the veterans. Then a shout went up and a rousing cheer. Th& general was given an arm chair in front of the platform near the speaker’s rostrum. Mayor Francis arose, and turning to . wards Gen. Fairchild extended a hearty welcome to the Grand Army of tho Re¬ public. chief’s attention He called the commander-in- only to the fact that not comrades-in-arms were working harmoni¬ ously side by side by many who, a quar¬ ter of a century ago, were arrayed against them in civil strife, and Gen. Fairchild responded that to the cordial greeting by the assufance when tho invitation was accepted,it was Louis with would the belief and knowl¬ had edge that St. and there do just as sho done, was not a moment when members of the Grand Army doubted the hospitable reception they, were to receive, or the moment that they ever thought of not coming. To meu who wore the gray he could say, they met them with feelings of love and confidence, and extend to them the right hand of fel¬ lowship. hatchet The Grand Army did not dig up the or wave the bloody shirt. There never had been, from 1867 to the present time, among comrades, a thought or feeling of malice to words the South. Here to-night were given of welcome which would ring out through the land, and when the Grand Army goes home they will leave behind a portion of their . hearts. As his voice died out, a call for Geu. Sherman was followed by a dozen more and then a flood of cheers, but they apparently fell on deaf ears, for, though looking directly over the sea of faces, the general gave no sign of respouse, and Mayor Francis seized the opportunity of the lull to introduce ex-Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. Gov. Oglesby, of Ill¬ inois kept up the enthusiasm by a jocu¬ lar assault upon Gen. Sherman for not re¬ sponding to the repeated Sherman calls. Ashe re¬ tired, the name of flew from mouth to mouth, and an ovation greeted “Uncle Hilly” as he rose to answer to the calls. Gen. Sherman found o pportunity to retire, and as the echo diec 1 out the band struck up “Marching Through Georgia.” The veterans quickly caught air the tune and 4,000 voices rent the again and again until the ball re-echoed _ with their choruses. Gov. Thayer, of Nebraska, Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Is¬ land, Gov. Solomon, of California, and her honored guests made speeches, nod i travelling's reception closed with three rousing cheers. DRAMATIC INCIDENT. German Officials Fire on Frenchmen and Instant Reparation Demanded. A party of five sportsmen and four beaters were following a territory, path ut Baon, ’ near Surpluine, on French seven yards from the frontier, when a person standing behind a clump of trees on the German side, 80 yards from the frontier, fired three shots at them. The first bul¬ let did not hit anyone, but the second killed one of tb* beaters, and a third se¬ verely wounded a gentleman li med Wauger, German a pupil officials at Sanmur declare cavalry school. that a German soldier named Kauffman, who was detailed to assist the forest guards in preventing poachiBg, that fired the shots. Kauffman affirms he shouted three times for the party to halt before firing on them. He believed that they were oh German territory. The sportsmen de ! clare that they heard nothing. Officials I on both sides of the frontier are milking j inquiries Itdvier conferred into the with shooting. Premier of I the minister foreign affairs and the minister of justice in relation to the incident after the receipt of the official report of affairs, and it was decided to send a note to Berlin request ing the German government, in the in terest of the continuation of friendly relations, to institute an inquiry intojble Mun affair without delay. Outint Von ster, German ambassador at Paris, in an interview expressed with Foreign Minister Flourens, regret at the occur rence and gave assurance that justice would be done by the German govern ment.
