New York. Sept. 3.—A dispatch re
ceived here from Coriiito, Nicaragua,
dated Aug. 33, says that unioug the
passengers here today on the steamer
Colima were six of the most prominent
men in the republic of Nicaragua, who
were sent to Costa Kica as exiles, by
order of President Sacassa. Tbe party
included three tnembt-rs of the Nicara-
senate—General Favala, who was for
merly president of the republic ; J. D.
Rodiquz, and Sclmmorro. The others
were A. H. Rivas, E. Guzman and Pe
dro Ortiz. There has been much oppo
sition to President Sacassa’s adminis
tration, particularly among the upper
classes, and, if current reports are cor
rect, the president has frequently been
obliged to keep in retirement, threats
against his life having been made
openly.
The exiles sent away today have been
most pronounced in their opposition to
the president, and he has finally deter
mined to send them out of the country.
His action led to an open revolt in Gre
nada city, where the parties all live,
which reenlted in bloodshed. The pris
oners were placed in a wagon today to
be teken to the railroad station, and
sent by special train to Corinto. The
wagon, guarded by troops, was passing
through the streets when it was sur
rounded by a mob shooting for the pris
oners’ release. Tbe soldiers were order- 1
ed to fire but no one was injured. The
mob replied with , a volley and killed
•even men, inclnding tbe governor of
the distriot, tbe lieutenant commanding
the troops, three soldiers and two by
•tenders. '
More troops were brought to the scent
and the mobwioon dispersed without
further loss or life. The prisoners wsru
sent to Corinto and placed aboard a
steamer which took them to Pants Are
nas. Both Nicaragua and Hondnraa
have troops stationed on tbe frontier,
and open hostilities between the two
countries are expected. The question
of tbe Central American federation baa
led to jealousy and ill feeling among
the different republics. Troops of Sal
vador and Guatemala are confronting
each other on the frontiers, The elec
tion in Guatemala for a successor to
President Barillas will, it is believed,
be the signal for. the opening of a oou-

Are Given Illrtb by “ Khedive Pet,” a
Mtseiulppl Jersey.
Greexville, Sept. 8.—Khedive Pet,
a registered Jersey cow owned by Chas.
H. Smith, gave birth to four healthy
living calves—two males and two fe
me lee—at his " Idlewild ” plantation two
miles from this city. The owner of the
valuable cow takes pleasure in showing
her and her progeny. The calves are
small, bnt strong and healthy. Khedive
Pet is above tbe average size of Jerseys,
and is a descendant from the fatnons
Khedive family of Jerseys, one of
which, the famous Princess, had a but
ter record of over forty-six pounds-of
butter in seven days. Khedive Pet was
raised by D. J. Phillips of Bowling
Green, Ky. The number of her herd
register is 45,891, and she was transfer-
ed to C. H. Smith August *5, 1887. The
transfer was made by F. W. Wick, sec
retary of the American Jersey Cattle
club, New York City. The calves were
sired by Mamie St. Helier, No. 22.081,
also owned by D. J. Phillips of Bowling
Green, Ky., but bred by Mrs. C. B. Al
len of Louisville, Ky.
Mr. Smith, tbe lucky owner of this
four-fold producer, would not take any
money today for Khedive Pet.
The proposals recently received at the

a tug will start out with a searching
party.
The last load of debris was removed

three safes and other material fonnd in
the wreckage have been piled up on the

He was taken to Santiago. He carried
with him {300,000 in Chilian bank notes
and {800,000 in drafts on London. This

Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. .1—Promptly
at 10:20 o’clock Chairman Kerr, of tho
date committee, called tho democratic
convention to order.
At that hour the Harrisburg opera
house was filled with the representatives
of the democratic p rty of this state,
Mr. Blaud of Reading was elected
temporary chairman. Iu bis speech he
expressed his consciousness that the
compliment by his selection as tempo
rary chairman waa paid not to himself ’
but to the eighteen thousand democrats
of old Berks county. Never In the his
tory of tbe party has a campaign been,
begun under more auspicious or promis
ing conditions.
“Never as now was tbe publto heart
and public mind so deeply wrought
npon; never before did public sympathy
feel the necessity for a change In the ad
ministration of pnbllo affairs.
“Never before was the feeling so
strong that tbe ticket put in nomination
to-day would be overwhelmingly eleetod.
The campaign will be fought on local Is
sues—uot on national. Nobody doubts
that the people of Pennsylvania love
the teachings of their own prophet, Gro- 1
▼er Clevelaud. [Tremendous applause.]
But we are not going into national Is
sues,,. It Is our duty to the people that
we torn ont the republican vampires
who are now prostituting the publlo of
fices all over the state.
“It's shameful that the state treasurer,
auditor, general mercantile Appraisers,
and the great newspapers of’Philadel
phia should join In a conspiracy to plun
der the treasury. [Applause.]
“The noble principle of Grover Cleve
land that 'pnbllo office la a pnbllo trust’
has been Ignored, and they have crimi
nally made publlo office a means of pri
vate profit to the scandal of tbe good
people of the United States. ,
“These offices must be wrenched,from
the grasp of the spoilsmen of the repub
lican party who have for the last twenty-
five years held them through prostitu
tion and abases.
‘There has been bnt one democratlo
governor In this state in the last twenty-
years.
“It is not a disparagement to .the
eminent men who have filled the office
to say that the demoerat stands peerless
among them all. [Great applause.]
“In Robert E. Pattlson we have a
fitting representative of those beautiful,
those noble, these eternal Ideas of
political faith enunciated by the great
Thomas Jefferson.’’
He was Barbeeud.
Mr. J. W. Bulla, the affable official of
the postofflee department, was hero In
AmeHous for a week, and has fallen In
love with our live city. Ho says we
have more snap and vim than any place
of Its size he has seen anywhere..
He finds our postofflee well managed
and in admirable shape; to fact, that In
stitution Is typical of the business of
Americus in[general, os ho observes it.
Mr. Boll* has finished his duties; and
on yesterday was Initiated Into the
mysteries of a Georgia barbeoue, the
first he ever saw. It la needless to say
he waa eaptured by the “Q” club, and
made a convert to the Georgia theory on
tbe spot.
Among the very pleasant recollections
of Americus and her hospitality none
will be more cherished than this novel
experience in situating himself on the
exterior of a goodly quantity of regular,
old-fashioned, genuine, simon-pure Geor
gia barbecue.
Mr. Bulla made many friends here
who will be gisd to see him visit Atneri-
cus again, either officially or socially.
Though Mr. A. A. Willett Is classed
among the old men, he lacks a great
deal of being behind these progressive
times, and so Is making a big success of
grope culture.
And he isn’t tinkering with fancy
breeds either. He is raising the hardy
and productive acuppernong, and had in
the city yesterday a pretty exhibit of
seven beautiful varieties of this luscious
fruit; one or two of which roeemble in
oolor the muscadino, and may poeslbly
be hybrids of that vigorous variety of
grape.
These grapes are free from dangers of
blight and other “fancy grape" diseases,
and are acknowledged to be the finest
wine producing fruit grown anywhere.
Mr. Willett has a crop of 500 bushels on
bis farm; and his success will draw at
tention very strongly to bit methods, as
well as to hia varieties of grapes'.
