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.

FOUR BRIGHT CALVES Cannot you save somethin'? by trading with Cor. Lamar St. and Cotton Ave., AMEBIOTJS, GEORGIA. Are Given Illrtb by “ Khedive Pet,” a Mtseiulppl Jersey. Greexville, Sept. 8.—Khedive Pet, a registered Jersey cow owned by Chas. H.

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 treasury department for the construc tion of the government building at the Columbian exposition will probably be rejected, and proposals invited for the construction of a building of a less ex pensive character,,, A New York special says that C.

Name Ji the Signal tor Tre- -oetiilons Applause. 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'. ; *« ftSa m •'The Windsor.” The question has been decided.
